Eight hundred and ninetieth nine chapters three kinds of capital
Blue Lake Club is a high-end club owned by Jinggao. The gardens and buildings built inside are all exquisite and elegant. In the afternoon, the setting sun of autumn shines slantingly outside the water pavilion, and the shadows of the trees are reflected in the pond.
Hearing Jing Gao's second question, Wang Hailin took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Jing, there are always different views on one thing, from different angles and different people. I'll just tell you my opinion."
Jing Gao nodded and gestured to Wang Hailin to continue.
Fang Shaofan and He Qingsha, who were sitting at the precious Eight Immortals table in the waterside pavilion, both looked at Wang Hailin. Sitting on the wooden chair in the corner of the waterside pavilion, Feng Wan, dressed in an office girl's outfit and wearing flesh-colored stockings, was gentle and demure, with her back straight and fierce.
come over.
Wang Hailin coughed slightly and said: "Mr. Jing, I have been in the industry for twenty years. From my personal opinion, the entertainment industry will always be invaded by capital. No matter where the capital comes from!"
Jing Gao said with great interest: "This is interesting! Teacher Wang, please explain it in detail."
Wang Hailin talked eloquently: "Mr. Jing, to put it simply, the entertainment industry can be divided into three major parts: film, television and songs, which are the three stars in the early years. Even in the 1980s and 1990s, due to domestic environmental restrictions, singers were the most profitable
of.
However, with the proliferation of pirated tapes and the later digitization of songs, songs have become less and less profitable. Even now that the country pays more attention to and protects copyright, music platforms are constantly competing for the copyright of songs. Tencent Music, NetEase
, Alibaba’s Xiami Music. However, the income, influence, and commercial value of singers are obviously not as good as those of TV drama stars and movie stars.
The two areas of film and television dramas are divided into the production and procurement of television dramas and the production and sales model of movies. Because the sales targets are different and the user groups targeted are different, the profit models of film and television dramas are different.
But no matter which model it is, producing film and television dramas requires money! The most important part is capital. Without capital, it is impossible to produce good dramas. Let me give you an example.
I used to work as a producer on a drama out of town. One day, the director of our team scolded the assistant director for casting, saying that the actors he hired were too ugly. The assistant director was scolded and kept silent. Later, he got angry and bitten him.
He said with his teeth..."
Wang Hailin made a gritted expression, imitating the expression of the assistant director at the time, "Can you add a thousand yuan, and I will invite that person?"
I didn't know who they were at the time, so I said to the side: "Okay, I'll give you an extra thousand yuan."
When I looked at the actresses I found the next day, I saw that they were much more beautiful than yesterday. Nowadays, extras and special actors get what they pay for. If you want to produce a good drama, you have to spend money. Today's dramas
, just look at Fu Huadao, it is very beautiful, but it still has a budget in terms of styling.
In the early years, the country maintained a large number of studios. Later, when it was time to shed the burden and be responsible for its own profits and losses, various types of capital came in.
Therefore, for those of us in the film and television industry, we will always have to face capital and need them to support our literary and artistic undertakings."
Jing Gao nodded gently. He had his understanding.
That is to say, in today's era, commodity prices and labor prices have long risen. If you want to make good, high-quality movies and TV series, you must have the most basic investment. No matter how small the cost is, it will not work.
Therefore, all employees in the entertainment industry, whether passive or active, have accepted the status quo of capital coming in, so that they can make money, survive, and continue to create.
Wang Hailin continued the topic just now, "From the situations and phenomena I have seen in the 20 years since I have been in the industry, Hong Kong capital has never dominated the world. There is mainly a saying here, control of the entertainment industry, how do you think of this boundary?
If we talk about the awards controlled by Hong Kong capital, the early award rankings were the Academy Awards, the Golden Horse Awards, and the Golden Rooster Awards. Later, they were the Golden Horse Awards, the Academy Awards, and the Golden Rooster Awards. Now the Golden Horse Awards are becoming more and more rubbish. From this perspective
, Hong Kong capital does control the entertainment industry!
After all, within a period of time, the best actor, best actress, best director, best picture, etc. who are the most valuable, the most able to elevate the status of a star, and have a net worth are all divided among others!
However, from a creative perspective, Hong Kong capital has no way of controlling the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, the Golden Eagle Awards, Magnolia, and the three major overseas film festivals. We practitioners do not exist just for this capital.
service, everyone obeyed their instructions obediently.
Many high-quality film and television dramas were not all produced by Hong Kong investors in the past two decades. Their proportion is not as large as imagined.
At most, the current situation of the industry is that those Hong Kong and Taiwan capitals like to use artists from there as the protagonists, and then use mainland movie stars as supporting roles. This is to engage in double standards, suppress our artists, etc. It was very common in the industry before 2010.
, such as Zhang Jiazhen and John Woo’s Red Cliff.
However, the audience is not convinced by Hong Kong and Taiwan. They like our mainland male and female stars. So the capital has changed its way of playing, which is to invest in the personal studios of leading stars.
As far as my personal experience is concerned, capital can be roughly divided into several stages: coal bosses, real estate, and the Internet."
Fang Shaofan exclaimed: "Teacher Wang said it very clearly! Hong Kong companies did have a glorious time in the entertainment industry. They are like the world's three major rating agencies, using awards to control the power to criticize actors. And after winning the award,
Actors, net worth, and remuneration are completely different. Of course, although our mainland awards are not good, we do have our own position. Not to mention that the evaluation of national actors is more professional and authoritative. There are also veterans of major drama troupes.
Drama masters. These veteran actors are even better than young freshmen and popular celebrities in terms of acting skills and audience popularity."
Jing Gao pondered slightly, knowing in his heart that this is similar to running a business. As the saying goes: first-rate companies make standards, second-rate companies make brands, and third-rate companies make products. Therefore, Phoenix Film and Television and the capital behind it want to develop in
The entertainment industry has everything to do with it, so we have to come up with an award and formulate an evaluation standard!
This is completely different from his original idea of clearing out Hong Kong capital from the entertainment industry. However, he did not express his stance easily. With his position and the capital and power he possesses, he should be cautious in expressing his stance.
Jing Gao stretched out his hand to make a gesture and said, "Teacher Wang, please continue to tell me about the impact of these three capitals on the entertainment industry."
Wang Hailin said happily: "Mr. Jing, the impact of these three types of capital on the entertainment industry is completely different. In the 1990s, the coal industry was very good. Coal bosses entered the film and television industry one after another. In addition to praising female stars, they
, does not interfere with our creation.
This has something to do with their industry, because in coal mines there can be no disorderly management. Chaotic management will cost lives. Professionals must be respected. I miss that time very much.
Later, the real estate industry boomed, and they were actually pretty good. Real estate developers like management, and they manage a drama as a project. Their interference in our creations is also okay. Now that Internet capital has come in, they have to have a hand in everything. What do they think about themselves?
Everybody understands.
Once, I cooperated with a large platform to hold a script discussion meeting. At the meeting, each screenwriter who belonged to the platform spoke about my script, and I took notes carefully. After the meeting, the person in charge of the play asked me: Teacher Wang
, what do you think of this script discussion meeting?
I said: The speeches are all rubbish.
He said: Then you took notes so seriously during the meeting.
I said: I'm recording people's names to see who they are. Next time one of these idiots appears in my script discussion, then I won't come. Later, these people never appeared in my script discussion again.
At the meeting.
So, sometimes, I miss the days when coal bosses invested. I call on them to come back. Of course, the coal industry is also in recession now."
"Ha ha!"
Everyone in the waterside pavilion laughed when this joke was told. I have to say that it was really interesting to listen to the screenwriter tell the story. He is a professional after all.
