With the novelty of the studio and the novelty of shooting a science fiction blockbuster, Wang Jinhua, Han Sanping and others played in the studio for a few days.
In the studio, I searched for the differences between China and China, and understood the gap between domestic film and television foundations. Not only did everyone feel a little heavy, but their desire to make some changes in China also became stronger.
Feeling the lens movement in Tang Ji and imagining the final visual effect from the composition, this is definitely a pioneering lens-like experience that is second to none in China.
We are about to launch a strategic cooperation with Macron, and the rules and regulations in the cooperation will also be extremely powerful for the industrialization of film and television in the bright era.
Han Sanping let go of the heavy feeling in his heart and said to Wang Jinhua with a smile: "The gap between China and here is indeed quite big, but fortunately, the brilliant era has begun to approach here."
As a national-level filmmaker, whether it is through the news or personal experience of the gap between domestic and foreign film and television, every time I feel this seemingly insurmountable distance, it makes people feel very powerless and helpless.
The most helpless thing is that the profit-seeking attitude of capital has no interest in the film and television industry, which requires large expenditures; the importance of national conditions and needs has caused relevant departments to pay little attention to the entertainment industry, and have an ambiguous attitude of supporting but not supporting reform.
This makes many filmmakers like him feel powerless and have only illusions about the future blueprint of the domestic film and television industry.
But in the eyes of Han Sanping now, the Brilliant Era has given him hope of building a film and television industry.
Even though it is difficult, there is finally a way to go, right?
For him, this is a wonderful feeling.
During these few days in the studio, "Legend of Red Flame" has also begun to premiere on Mango Channel.
Due to the good publicity and the support of popular actors such as Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Ren Quan, Mango Channel reported good ratings for the premiere, with 6 points each.
In 2008, when the ratings were declining year by year, the ratings of this premiere were undoubtedly a hit.
But the ratings of the premiere are nothing. Whether it will start high and then go low or sing all the way, everything is still unknown.
Discussions about the drama have also started online. The popularity of related topics continues to rise, but the points of discussion are somewhat different from other dramas.
#The rhythm is so fast, I can’t stop#
#The lens of "Legend of Red Flame" is too strong#
#福华道Full marks, all metaphors, full of details#
#"Red Flame Legend" all members of the old fox#
There are very few TV dramas that can make the audience not discuss a certain actor or a certain star when it is first broadcast, but to discuss the scenes, characters and plot details of the drama.
Judging from these comments, "Legend of Red Flame" must have its own merits.
It's just that you can't watch domestic TV in Los Angeles. Even if the young couple can see the comments online, they can only watch the plot back home.
Wang Jinhua and others spent a few days wandering around the studio and hotel, and soon it was time to make an appointment with Macron.
On this day, everyone got ready and set off to meet Macron and his wife.
This is also the main purpose of Wang Jinhua and others coming to Los Angeles, to inspect Macron Film and Television and confirm the strategic cooperation between the two parties.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome."
The sun was just right, and the studio of Macron Film and Television Company, Mr. and Mrs. Macron and a group of senior managers welcomed their distinguished guests in front of the electronic gate.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, Wang Jinhua and others got out of the car and walked forward, shaking hands with each other in a friendly and enthusiastic manner.
"Mr. Chu Xuan, when we first met, he was indeed as handsome and extraordinary as in the photo." No matter when the Macrons were discussing alone with Liu Yifei or when they went to the capital to meet with Wang Jinhua, they did not see Chu Xuan appear. This time it was finally
I met Chu Xuan himself.
For such a young man who pioneered micro-entertainment, is worth a lot of money, and is very accomplished in academic performance, everyone will be curious about what is so special about this person, and Macron and his wife are no exception.
When they met for the first time, seeing Chu Xuan’s eyes that seemed to be able to speak and full of bright smiles, old Jack couldn’t help but think of a famous saying by Boas, the famous anthropologist in the 19th century: The eyes are the windows of the soul, and the intellect and will of a person are
It's all hidden here.
"Hello, Mr. Chu Xuan, my name is Jack. I have often heard Sissy talk about your excellence and have heard about your reputation for a long time."
"Hello, I have often heard from Sissi that you are extraordinary in production. It is an honor to meet you."
Jack was also in the welcoming team, not only him, but Grande was also there.
Liu Yifei and Ailand hugged each other. They had not seen each other for a while. They were very happy to see each other.
Especially Grande, at a time when Macron's film and television is about to undergo a turning point in development, in such an important situation, the Macrons allow Grande to appear on such an occasion, which all shows that the relationship between the Macrons and Grande has changed.
Huge transformation.
Liu Yifei saw through it without saying anything, and was happy for her good sister.
It would be the best thing if all our friends could be happy.
The two parties said hello and walked into the park.
Macron and his wife led Wang Jinhua and others on a tour at the front, and answered questions from the Bright Times business team.
The couple Jack and Ireland led Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei behind, chatting about interesting topics for young people and some discussions about movies.
Just like that, the final decision-making stage of discussion between Brilliant Times and Macron Films began.
Even before that, the discussions between the two parties had been very pleasant, and almost everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed.
However, a cross-border cooperation is related to the turning development direction of each company. The previous happiness cannot dispel the caution of both parties in the final negotiation stage.
Wang Jinhua and Han Sanping were scrutinizing everything about Macron. While dispelling Wang Jinhua's various doubts, the Macrons and others also repeatedly confirmed the details of the cooperation that were beneficial to them, ensuring the interests of both parties.
From the studio, machinery and equipment, special effects technology, and film and television production concepts of Macron Studio, to the production, expenses, and production chain of Macron Fuhuadao Factory, to the existing copyrights, derivative copyrights, and agency copyrights of Macron Film and Television

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For several days in a row, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei finished filming in the studio every day, and then came over to meet Sister Hua to learn about Macron-related matters, only to discover that a person in
Haolaiwu is an inconspicuous film and television company, but it has such a complete industrial system.
"It's incredible." Liu Yifei sighed.
She really didn't expect that Macron, who she had been negotiating with for several months, was only in a mid-level position in Hollywood, but his company structure and scale would instantly surpass all domestic entertainment companies, including Bright Times.
The most important thing is that Macron's capital value is far less than that of the Brilliant Era, but its scale far exceeds that of the Brilliant Era.
Not only her, but Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua also had a big gap in their hearts.
They found that understanding Macron from literal words and coming to personally experience Macron's industrial system and the actual operating capabilities of the entire company were completely different things.
The scale and productivity of Macron's so-called entertainment company, which is only in a mid-level position in Hollywood, greatly exceeded their expectations.
"As far as the entertainment industry is concerned, currently China and Haolaiwu are two worlds on different levels." Chu Xuan said.
If we compare Haolaiwu with domestic entertainment companies, then Macron Film and Television, which has a mid-level status in Haolaiwu, is equivalent to Tang Ren Film and Television, which has a mid-level status in China.
But comparing Tang Ren with Macron? That really means nothing.
This is not to flatter a wealthy person, this is just a very realistic fact.
Seeing the big from the small, Macron Film and Television has such strength, so how strong is the situation involving the hundreds or thousands of entertainment companies around the world that Hollywood has?
No wonder the country is so powerless in the face of the cultural invasion of Haolaiwu. It really cannot defeat it. It’s not that the domestic directors and the capital behind it are not strong, it’s that the overall strength of both parties is not on the same level.
"Come on." Han Sanping patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder and looked at Liu Yifei again.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and told them to work hard? Do you want them to bring the Bright Era film and television industry to the level of Haolaiwu?
The young couple smiled slightly. Although experiencing the power of Haolaiwu Entertainment Company first-hand made them feel disappointed, they did not feel hesitant or discouraged. Instead, their hearts were filled with passion. This was originally the goal and dream they wanted to pursue.
They were amazed by Macron's film and television industry. Meng Hongwei, Zheng Xiangdong and Shi Ming, the three channel business owners, knew nothing about this aspect and focused on another direction.
"I wonder how your advertising sponsorship works?" Meng Hongwei asked.
Old Jack looked at him meaningfully. He had known this advertising sponsorship provider of the Brilliant Era when he went to the capital to meet with Wang Jinhua, and he also knew that he had very strong channels in China.
Huaguo has advertising sponsorship, and Haolaiwu definitely has it too, and the sponsorship funding is even more outrageous than that of Huaguo.
The sponsorship fee for an American TV series was as high as 20 million U.S. dollars before it even started airing. This was a new high sponsorship fee set by Hollywood at the beginning of this year.
What is this concept? A drama has already recovered nearly 140 million yuan in cost without even knowing whether it has ratings.
He has understood the strength of Brilliant Era. The maximum sponsorship fee for each drama is more than 10 million yuan, and this is the top channel income in the entire country of China. However, this income is only the income from Haolaiwu's channels.
one tenth.
Of course, there is a big difference between China and the world. Hollywood TV series are available in more than 100 countries around the world, which is equivalent to advertising in more than 100 countries. This is why advertising sponsorship fees are expensive.
The Chinese market is still developing, and advertising is only for the country. It is normal for sponsorship fees to be limited.
Listening to Boss Meng's question, Old Jack also knew very well that this boss had the idea of Hollywood's advertising sponsorship channel.
"Similar to your Chinese market, resources in this area are in the hands of middlemen's capital, and there is nothing I can do about it." Old Jack replied, saying frankly that he could not help in this regard.
What he said is also true. Compared with the domestic advertising sponsorship environment, the advertising sponsorship environment here in Hollywood is more evil and capitalistic.
If a film or television drama wants to be sponsored, it can only operate through an intermediary, and the intermediary takes a share of the sponsorship fee.
Normally, producers can bypass these middlemen and directly cooperate with advertisers, but this is only a theoretical situation.
Hollawood's middlemen have agreements with many brands around the world. If you bypass them and cooperate with producers, this is a violation.
Moreover, these middlemen also have agreements with TV stations in many countries. If advertisers bypass them to reach cooperation with TV stations, the TV stations will also be violating the rules.
Just like a real estate agent, if you don't buy the house introduced by the agent, but deal directly with the owner, you will have to pay the agent's liquidated damages.
This sounds unreasonable, but this is how capitalist countries are. Channel middlemen are bloody capital that cannot be ignored and can never be circumvented.
Even if your film and television drama successfully bypasses it once, these capitals can jointly block your channels, so that your film and television drama will never receive advertising.
This is because the downstream market and the upstream market are afraid of trouble. Decades of connivance and compromise have created a capital industry chain with huge benefits for middlemen.
Meng Hongwei is also an intermediary himself, and he is also very aware of the situation in this industry. He did not care about Old Jack's answer and just smiled: "If possible, can you introduce me to your advertising intermediary someday?
He has the Haolaiwu channel, and I have the Huaguo channel, so maybe we can win-win."
Shi Ming took over the conversation and said: "Our Huaguo products have always been of good quality and conscience. Home appliances such as Founder, Haier, Changhong, wine industry such as Wuliangye, Moutai, Gladiolus, clothing such as Youngor, Weizhi Men's Wear, Jinba Men's Wear,
These are the best products in our industry that are currently being sold overseas. How the two sides can cooperate will further promote cultural exchanges between China and the West."
"Let's get together when we have the opportunity." Old Jack nodded. If it was just an introduction, it would be just a small matter.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Xuan listened to their words. It was his and Sister Hua’s idea to open up Haolaiwu advertising channels, and it was also the original intention of these three channel dealer bosses.
Although these bosses only care about money, they don't care at all which advertiser they work with.
But if it helps domestic companies sell their products overseas while making money, it can be considered a contribution to all walks of life in the country.
The influence of a popular film and television drama is very great. If a work contains many domestic products, it is quite a sense of honor.
He and Sister Hua are not experts in this area. Even if they want to facilitate this matter, they can't do anything. It depends on whether these three channel dealer bosses are really awesome.
But in his plan, "The Twilight Saga", "The Walking Dead", and "A Song of Ice and Fire" are the film and television adaptation rights of the three works that he and Hua Jie first recommended to Macron in their planned cooperation.
One movie series and two TV series.
If according to the hot trend of these works in his memory, these three works are enough to make Macron soar to the sky, and if these works are to be completed, the production time will take at least ten years.
During this long period of time, relying on these popular works, these bosses will be able to open up the advertising sponsorship channels of Hollywood, right?
If we obtain global advertising sponsorship channels, we won’t have to worry too much about losing money when doing science fiction in the future of the Brilliant Era. We can focus more on derivative copyrights, thereby better building the entire industry chain of the film and television industry.
In turn, higher quality film and television works will be produced, forming a virtuous cycle.
Chu Xuan's planning has always been one step at a time. Others only focus on the present, while he focuses on the next ten years or even longer.
Wang Jinhua always said that if he were born in ancient times, he would definitely be a strategic counselor.
When she heard about his plan on the phone some time ago, Wang Jinhua also gave a big thumbs up to her far-sighted brother.
"The contract will be signed tomorrow morning. It's finally settled." Wang Jinhua got off the car at the door and walked to the hotel with Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and others.
By early April, after a month of inspections, both parties had confirmed that the details were correct, lawyers had drafted a detailed contract, and the cross-border cooperation agreement between Bright Times and Macron Films would be officially concluded tomorrow.
"We started talking about it in October last year, and it's been half a year now, and it's finally done." Liu Yifei stretched out her arms. The cooperation initiated by her was about to be concluded, and the last trace of anxiety in her heart had completely dissipated.
"The biggest hero." Chu Xuan raised his arms and put his arms around Liu Yifei's shoulders, making no secret of his praise for his girlfriend.
Liu Yifei walked into the elevator, winked at Chu Xuan and said, "Is there any reward?"
"What reward do you want?" Chu Xuan asked with a smile.
Seeing the elevator door slowly closing, Liu Yifei narrowed her eyes slightly: "I'm the boss's wife, so you have to listen to me."
"No." Chu Xuan said: "My status in the family is already the lowest, and you want to lower my status in the company. Can you give me a little more room to survive?"
"Hahaha..." A group of elders and seniors such as Wang Jinhua, Liu Xiaoli, Han Sanping and others burst into laughter, filling the small elevator space with joy.
After this month of getting along with each other, the three big bosses, Meng Hongwei, Zheng Xiangdong and Shi Ming, finally realized the deep feelings between this young couple.
Many times, don’t evaluate something without experiencing it for yourself. This sentence is true.
In the past, they didn't understand Chu Xuan's behavior, didn't understand why Chu Xuan was so good to Liu Yifei, didn't understand why Chu Xuan had to take Liu Yifei with him everywhere, and they didn't understand why Chu Xuan would rather give up a little bit of his career to make time to wait for Liu Yifei.
Come and grow with him.
During this period, they deeply felt the sweet and passionate atmosphere of this young couple getting along. Although they were not sure whether it was right or wrong for a strong man to let himself be emotionally bound, they finally understood Chu Xuan's relationship.
Everything he did for Liu Yifei.
Perhaps, just like the life this young couple pursues, men and women with the same status and abilities have the same dreams. This may be the real way to manage love.
"Pack your luggage yourself." Liu Xiaoli got out of the elevator and walked onto the floor corridor.
"That's right." Wang Jinhua reacted: "The contract will be signed tomorrow morning, and you can forget about the rest. We have to fly to France in the afternoon."
The twelve-day Cannes Film Festival will hold its opening ceremony the day after tomorrow. Director Wen Mino, assistant director Kong Sheng, producer Li Xue, and screenwriter Liu Yi of "Hope" have already arrived in France, waiting for the two leading actors and producers to come.
Went to rendezvous.
"Okay." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei agreed, swiped their cards to open the door and walked into the room.
