The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 361 Two TV series, two countries' verbal war
Time has come to September.

The most noteworthy thing is the release of the "Regulations on Business Management".

The most important rule among these regulations is that celebrities are not allowed to lip-sync.

As soon as this regulation came out, it instantly caused an earthquake in the industry.

For those studio singers who are forced to become famous, singing live is no different from costing them their lives.

Especially some idols of the new generation, who originally started out as actors in TV dramas. Singing is just a way for them to make money, and the songs are not written by them.

The time spent on an album, from production to mixing and sound editing in the recording studio, is more than all other steps combined.

If they were brought to the scene to sing directly, the effect would be similar to a car accident scene.

At this time, fans naturally want to prove to their idols that the people they support are not singers who can lip-sync.

“I can’t say anything about other people, but I’ve seen that Eagle perform live, and that guy is definitely lip-syncing!”

"When she was hanging out with Wang Jinghua in Chenguang, she probably wouldn't have lip-synced, right?"

"Of course the singers of the Morning Light School don't dare to lip-sync. After all, there is a world-famous superstar watching over their heads. If the singers below were caught lip-syncing, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the whole country? But don't you think that the guy Ying signed a contract with Huayi with Wang Jinghua? Don't you know what that is?"

"Poor Hua Yi, he was dragged out to be beaten again. He was also stolen away by a little girl. It was already miserable enough."

"This thing is just a bluff. If these singers really lip-sync, there will still be a lot of people paying for them."

"So Zhang Chen is still the best. He has been in the industry for so many years and I have never heard of him lip-syncing. Even during the Spring Festival Gala, the directors were afraid that the singers would make mistakes and embarrass themselves abroad, so they asked them to lip-sync. Zhang Chen is one of the few singers who still maintains the tradition of real singing."

"Speaking of Zhang Chen, what has this guy been doing recently? Where are his new songs?!!! I prepare money for him every year, but this guy is not up to the mark. He only has so little of his songs. Who can listen to them?!"

"Zhang Chen, short and weak!"

"Short and weak!"

"short!"

Zhang Chen looked at the comments online with a gloomy face, and angrily slammed his mouse: "Do you understand that artistic creation takes time!"

"Who told you to spoil their appetites when you debuted? From high fertility to difficult fertility, who else should I blame but you?" Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen, who was jumping up and down, with a gloating look on her face: "Short Xiaochen?"

"Huh?!" Zhang Chen turned around suddenly, looking at Liu Yifei's downward glance, and retorted unhappily, "Others may not know, but how could you not know?"

"What do I know?" Liu Yifei looked innocent.

"Come on, come on, let me show you what I have to offer!" Zhang Chen laughed angrily.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't move!" Liu Yifei slapped Zhang Chen, who had just pulled her hand, and looked at Zhang Chen unhappily, "I find that you seem to have become a different person."

"I can't help it. Who asked you to open an opening for me?"

"Is this still my fault?"

Zhang Chen sighed, said nothing, and collapsed on the sofa.

Liu Yifei carefully moved to his side and poked Zhang Chen's arm: "Hey, it won't be long now, can you bear with it for a while?"

Zhang Chen turned his head, glanced at her and said nothing.

He now regrets making his relationship clear with Liu Yifei so early.

It was fine before, both of them knew what the other was thinking, but when it wasn't made clear, at least there was an excuse.

Now that the truth has been revealed, it becomes a great torture for him.

Which young man can resist hugging his girlfriend?
What's more, Zhang Chen is only in his early twenties, which is the time when he is most hot-tempered.

Before, Zhang Chen devoted himself to his work, whether it was filming, company operations, or song production. There were countless things to worry about every day, as well as intrigues with others, but he didn't have to think about that.

But ever since that night when he and Liu Yifei officially broke that layer of window paper, the scene at that time has been lingering in Zhang Chen's mind and cannot be erased.

He would think of it from time to time no matter what he did every day, but now Liu Xiaoli's words and Liu Yifei's own wish to wait a little longer made Zhang Chen lift his foot that had just stepped on the accelerator again.

This feeling, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

"Hey, let me find you something to do. Stop thinking about those things and be more ambitious, okay?"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Zhang Chen and handed him a laptop with a web page already opened on it:
[The Dae Jang Geum, which was introduced from South Korea, was first broadcast in the mainland through Shonan TV. The show received unanimous praise from the audience as soon as it was broadcast, and the ratings repeatedly broke new records. The ratings record of Korean dramas in the mainland is expected to be broken by this show. ]

[The audience bought into "Dae Jang Geum" and the characters and the play. On the surface, it seems that the characters are good and the play is good, but in fact it reflects that in the false and distorted contemporary context and the real and profound ancient background, the audience is more willing to choose relative truth and return to tradition; it reflects that Confucian values and lifestyles still have strong vitality.

After the Chinese people gradually abandoned the original Confucian tradition, the successful experience of South Korea and even Korean dramas tells us that being stubborn and sticking to good is not synonymous with being conservative and stubborn. Tradition is sometimes more attractive than "hybrid rice" and can be sold at a higher price. 】——Tan Fei

It has to be said that this TV series did cause quite a stir in the mainland.

At present, the film industry is still in its infancy, and many domestic film and television production companies still rely on TV dramas as their main source of income.

However, these film and television companies have begun to transform and develop into the film industry, and it is rare for the mainland's TV drama industry to produce a drama that is popular among the entire nation.

The last one that caused a sensation was "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" starring Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei, which brought a shocking fairy tale drama to mainland audiences.

However, the broadcast of "Dae Jang Geum" caused a number of film critics to criticize the inaction of domestic film and television production companies, praising "Dae Jang Geum" for respecting traditional culture and belittling the "hybridization" of mainland TV dramas.

The combination of praise and criticism has kept the popularity of "Dae Jang Geum" rising, and has also successfully made audiences across the country pay more attention to this TV series.

"Tan Fei?"

Zhang Chen did not read netizens' comments on the TV series, but noticed this person.

According to this person, domestic TV dramas have gone astray, and it is Korean TV dramas that have made everyone re-examine traditional culture.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

"This person."

Zhang Chen didn't know how to answer Liu Yifei's question.

What he remembered was that this guy planned the sensational "Dream of Red Mansions", which should be released next year.

"I think Dae Jang Geum really promotes traditional culture. The show is good, and the actors perform well. Is Tan Fei right?"

Liu Yifei is quite fond of this TV series.

She also benefited a lot from the performances of Lee Young-ae and others.

"The drama is good, but the capital behind it may not be."

"How to say?"

Liu Yifei was stunned, not understanding what Zhang Chen meant. A TV series is just a TV series, how did it get involved with capital?
"Do you know what my goal has always been in establishing Morning Light Entertainment?"

"I don't know." Liu Yifei was even more confused. "Isn't it to make money?"

"Vague!" Zhang Chen patted Liu Yifei's head. "I have always wanted our country's culture to have enough influence internationally."

"Is this important?" Liu Yifei asked confusedly, covering her forehead.

"important!"

Zhang Chen didn't explain the specific reason, and Liu Yifei, who was at her age, didn't understand it either.

Cultural soft power is an important weapon for a country to influence its external world.

Just like Hollywood, it exports Western values ​​all day long, making many countries yearn for life in the beautiful country.

Then there is the Korean dramas that are now surging in popularity.

In fact, whether it is a Hollywood movie or a Korean drama, they are indeed well made, there is no doubt about that, otherwise there would not be so many audiences paying for it.

Whether from the perspective of watching a movie or the design of the plot, both have their own unique features.

But the key is that these good movies and TV series are often accompanied by a country's ideology and can subtly change the impression of a country among people in other countries.

The reason why Zhang Chen hates those directors who win the three major awards in Europe is that the China they filmed only has backward, ignorant and conflicting plots. Many art film directors really don't care about their reputation in order to make movies that European masters will like.

This has led to many Europeans who have learned about China through movies still having the impression that China is an uncivilized country with long braids.

Although this result was the result of deliberate publicity by Western media, if it were not for the works of these directors, those Western media would not have enough material to promote it in this way.

Now Hollywood movies are gradually entering the domestic market, and Korean dramas have gradually entered the vision of the Chinese people since before the millennium.

The current Korean dramas are fine, but if this continues, South Korea’s sissy culture will subtly begin to erode the body and mind of the younger generation in the country.

The thought of a large number of male celebrities dressed up in fancy clothes in the future makes me feel depressed.
Thinking of that scene, Zhang Chen shuddered violently.

"what happened?"

Liu Yifei was leaning against Zhang Chen and reading Weibo, and was startled by Zhang Chen's sudden tremor.

"This trend of Korean dramas must be nipped in the bud!" Zhang Chen said with disgust.

"But." Liu Yifei raised her head and looked at Zhang Chen's chin, "We have a cinema, but TV series are broadcast on TV stations, and we don't have a TV station."

"Who says that it won't work without myself and a TV station?"

On September 9, when the popularity of "Dae Jang Geum" had completely overshadowed other domestic TV dramas, putting pressure on the mainland film and television industry to the point of being unable to breathe.

It's on TVB's prime time, the same broadcast time as "Dae Jang Geum".

A TV series with the highest rebroadcast rate in the future has emerged.

"Drawing Sword", a legendary TV series.

The author of the original novel of this TV series once asked Zhang Chen at an awards ceremony when his novel would be shown on the big screen by Chenguang Entertainment.

The author had no idea that his novel would achieve such great success after being adapted into a TV series.

In just one week, according to CCTV Sofres' ratings survey results of that year, the ratings of "Drawing Sword" in the first week of its premiere averaged 11.42%, with a peak of 13.7%, breaking the ratings record of "The Inspector General of the Song Dynasty" broadcast by CCTV that year.

"Drawing Sword" ranked first in CCTV TV drama ratings in 10.3 with an average viewership rate of 2005%.

The media's evaluation of this TV series is that it is a main theme work that integrates the art of war and legendary colors. It is a TV series without the top-tier stars of the time, without super-large-scale investment, and without overly luxurious costumes.

Also, because 05 was the 60th anniversary of the world's victory in the anti-FXS war, and the production company was a joint production of Morning Light Films and a certain military region, all departments were very concerned about this TV series.

Therefore, after only one week of being aired, this drama crushed the heavily promoted Korean drama "Dae Jang Geum" which was very popular among young people.

On Weibo, "Drawing Sword" also linked up with "Morning Light Beyond Class":

[The first TV series of "Morning Light Beyond Class" was released. Are you looking forward to Baoqiang's performance in it? ]

[The "Morning Light Beyond Class" has the spirit of "Swords of Light", daring to put the actors' daily work in front of the public for evaluation. ]

"Oh my goodness, when I watched "Morning Light Beyond Class" I saw Baoqiang playing a role in the hail of bullets, it turned out to be a tribute film?"

"That's what I said. We still have good TV series in the mainland. The Dae Jang Geum is only watched by girls. We men should watch passionate anti-Japanese war films like the Bright Sword."

"Those who said that there are no good TV series in our country, come and watch "Drawing Sword"!"

"It's just a TV series broadcast on Spoon Channel. If Dae Jang Geum was also broadcast on Spoon Channel, the ratings would definitely be higher than Bright Sword."

"What's so good about a bunch of soldiers? They are so vulgar!"

"The one above, if there weren't these heroes, do you think you could be here with your keyboard and talk nonsense?"

"Some people should take a good look at the comments on Korean Facebook about "Jewel in the Palace"."

["Dae Jang Geum" is a TV series that promotes our traditional culture. It has spread our Chinese medicine culture and food culture to all parts of the world, letting the thieves next door who stole our culture see what is orthodox! ]

[I read the reviews from China, they really like our kimchi. I think we should supply them with limited quantities of our kimchi so that they can have a good taste of what authentic kimchi is!]

[China is a group of cultural thieves. Now their people have sharp eyes and admit that our country is the birthplace of traditional Chinese medicine! ]

It has to be said that the operation of moving comments from foreign websites to China has indeed made many people shut up.

While some people kept their mouths shut, domestic netizens also stood up and protested:

"What the hell? Just a TV show, and already those Koreans are becoming so arrogant?"

"I've always said that there's nothing good in Korean dramas. Some people have been brainwashed to such an extent."

"Okay, okay, Chinese medicine is from Korea? Kimchi originated from Korea? They also want to treat us to kimchi? What a vicious way of entertaining people."

"Is there anyone who can control this kind of atmosphere in the country? If it continues like this, China will become a 'vassal' of South Korea!"

"How could a TV station give up on a drama that it bought at a huge price just because of a few words?"

Under the manipulation of some people with ulterior motives, a war of words about cultural heritage has unfolded between the two countries across a wall.

Some people copied the Facebook comments from South Korea, and naturally some people also copied a lot of comments from China to South Korea.

During this period, the two sides engaged in rounds of verbal battles on topics such as traditional Chinese medicine, kimchi, and whether South Korea is a vassal state of China.

It was not until September 9 that a movie was released simultaneously in the two countries, which brought the topic to the world.

　Short and weak! I'll scold you first, you can do whatever you want!
