"Under the colorful ancient flags, a shout, and rough and majestic gongs and drums entered the performance area..."
In the eloquent live commentary, the gongs and drums team from Linfen, Shanxi Province beat out bursts of thunder. The heroic wind from the north blew against their faces, which fascinated all the spectators. As soon as the opening ceremony began, guests from all over the world were invited
Attracted.
After the gongs and drums performance ended, Huo Yingdong couldn't help but stand up and applaud. He turned to Kang Jianfei next to him and said, "This gongs and drums are so majestic that it makes people's blood boil. It's just like an ancient battlefield."
"It's great. Hong Kong's martial arts masters can't come up with this kind of charm." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.
The two of them were in the VIP viewing area of the Workers' Stadium, and to the left was the area where government dignitaries and sports officials from more than 30 countries were located.
Kang Jianfei and Huo Yingdong did not attract any attention here, and the television cameras also swept past them, with the lenses basically focused on the rostrum.
To be honest, this opening ceremony was really nothing to watch. The 60 parachutists descending from the sky and the group exercises of tens of thousands of people were a little refreshing. The other parts can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
Perhaps because there were too many important people and they were too busy, Kang Jianfei and Huo Yingdong stayed in the capital for several days without being received by the chief. The person accompanying them for exchanges was the director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office.
After watching the first game, Kang Jianfei had no interest in going there again. He didn't have that much free time. The Asian Games Organizing Committee sent a set of commemorative items, including mascots, commemorative stamps, commemorative coins, and commemorative badges.
Wait, it's a big box. It doesn't have much value, but it's good for collection.
During the Asian Games, "Asian Heroes" "composed" by Kang Jianfei became popular all over the country. Although this song was not the theme song of the Asian Games, it was played everywhere from TV stations to private citizens.
Of course, ordinary people don't care about Kang Jianfei as the songwriter. They only know that the singers are Liu Huan and Wei Wei. These two singers are already quite famous because this song became famous all over China.
…
The third day after the opening of the Asian Games.
A building in Haidian, Beijing, Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company.
Speaking of this company, not many people knew about it half a year ago, but now it is the focus of the mainland's literary and art circles.
Just three months ago, Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company's entrepreneurial work "Desire" was broadcast on Beijing TV. The highest ratings in the Beijing area were close to 94.
When CCTV saw such terrifying ratings, it quickly negotiated a film purchase agreement for "Desire" with Feizhi Films, and it was launched during the prime time TV period in August.
"The whole country mourns Liu Huifang, the whole country curses Wang Husheng, and everyone laments Song Dacheng." Liu Huifang, Wang Husheng, and Song Dacheng are all characters in the play, but they have become the objects of emotion for hundreds of millions of people. This is what happened after "Desire" was broadcast on CCTV
, causing a nationwide sensation.
This kind of sensational effect is a level that cannot be achieved by outsourced Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas. Because no matter how good the Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas are, they are still from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but "Desire" is a story born and raised in the mainland.
From the era of turmoil to the ten years after the reform and opening up, the experiences of several main characters in the play are the epitome of the entangled fate of two generations. Almost all viewers can find their own shadow in the play, the kind of feeling that comes from the soul.
The resonance is indescribable.
Now "Desire" has been broadcast on CCTV for 36 episodes, with the highest ratings ever reaching 91.
You heard it right, the nationwide ratings of "Desire" are over 90. What does this mean? It means that no matter whether it is a city or a rural area, as long as there is a TV set, as soon as the time period of "Desire" is broadcast,
There are basically few people visible outside the house.
When "Journey to the West" was aired a few years ago, the ratings were only 80.
Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company has become well-known in the mainland TV industry after this battle. Provincial TV stations across the country have taken the initiative to contact them, hoping to obtain the second-round broadcast rights of "Desire" after the CCTV broadcast.
.
Today's Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company is managed by Li Zhi, who manages the administrative and marketing work, and Zheng Xiaolong, who is in charge of program production. After Kang Jianfei came to Beijing, he stayed in a hotel arranged by the government without notifying the two of them. Today was considered a surprise attack in private.
.
Taking the elevator upstairs with two followers, Kang Jianfei had just stepped into Feizhi Film and Television Company when a young girl wearing a shirt, vest and trousers stopped him at the front desk and asked: "Sir, what do you need?
Help?"
Kang Jianfei immediately laughed. The dress and conversation of the front desk lady showed that it was Li Zhi who did it. Mainland company employees do not have such well-fitting work uniforms, and they habitually call people "comrade" instead of "comrade".
Call me sir with a smile on your face.
"Are your Mr. Li and Mr. Zheng here?" Kang Jianfei asked.
The little girl at the front desk said: "Both managers are receiving guests. Sir, do you have anything to do with them? I can arrange it for you."
Kang Jianfei was lying on the front desk and asked with a smile: "You don't know me?"
The little girl at the front desk stared at it with wide eyes for a few seconds, then said tangledly: "It looks familiar."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "I am a friend of your Mr. Li and Mr. Zheng."
When the young girl at the front desk saw that Kang Jianfei had an extraordinary temperament and was wearing high-end clothes that she had never seen before, and there were several entourages behind him, she immediately realized that this might be an honored guest of the two bosses. She called Kang Jianfei in and asked: "
What is this gentleman’s name?”
"My surname is Kang." Kang Jianfei said.
The little girl at the front desk was leading the way, but she suddenly turned around and said in surprise: "Are you Mr. Kang Jianfei from Hong Kong?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and smiled: "That's me."
The little girl at the front desk became more attentive and said: "Mr. Kang, please wait here for a while. Mr. Li has told me that as long as you are here, you can go to her directly without announcing it. But Mr. Li is really talking about things now. Southern
Two provincial and Taiwanese companies have sent people to buy films, and Mr. Li is negotiating business with them."
"Where is Mr. Zheng?" Kang Jianfei asked.
The little girl at the front desk said: "Mr. Zheng is discussing the script with several writers."
"The company is launching a new drama again?" Kang Jianfei asked.
The little girl at the front desk nodded and said, "Maybe so. Among the people who came today, there is one I know named Wang Shuo."
Kang Jianfei was a little surprised and asked: "Wang Shuo who writes novels?"
"That's him." The little girl said with certainty.
Kang Jianfei had nothing to do anyway, so he chatted with this sweet-looking girl and learned a lot about the company from her.
There are actually not many formal employees in the company now. There are only five rooms in total including office rooms, several boss offices, and conference rooms. The equipment used for filming is rented from the CCTV TV Drama Production Center, and the crew's manpower is basically the same.
From Beijing Television Art Center.
By the way, just like private companies are not qualified to produce movies, Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company is also not qualified to produce TV series. So although Kang Jianfei fully invested, the subtitle at the end of "Desire" is: Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company, Beijing
/Co-produced by Beijing Television Art Center.
According to official documents, "Desire" was produced by the Beijing Television Art Center, and Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company only produced it on its behalf.
This is just like a film company buying a factory label. For example, if I open a film company in mainland China to make a movie, I have to pay to buy a factory label from a state-owned film studio before it can be released.
Of course, people in the industry will know what's going on when they see it. When the co-production subtitles are played at the end of the film, the company at the front is the real producer of the TV series.
Of course, the Beijing Television Art Center also contributed a lot to the filming of "Desire". Zheng Xiaolong is only the screenwriter of this TV series, but there are two directors, namely Lu Xiaowei and Zhao Baogang.
Lu Xiaowei participated in the establishment of Beijing TV Station, and his position was the director of Beijing Television Art Center. He was Zheng Xiaolong’s former immediate boss, and Zhao Baogang was also from the Television Art Center.
Kang Jianfei originally asked Zheng Xiaolong to start filming after the Lunar New Year. Unexpectedly, he couldn't wait to do this, so he started filming in the freezing cold winter, and he didn't even get the company's license at that time.
Due to sufficient financial support, "Desire", which took 10 months to shoot in the original time and space, was finally completed in less than 6 months. However, the production cost also increased greatly, because Zheng Xiaolong split the entire crew into two, and Lu Xiaolong
Wei and Zhao Baogang led the filming at the same time, which greatly accelerated the filming progress of the TV series.
After the broadcast of "Desire", 20% of the income from the TV series will belong to the Beijing Television Art Center, and all the remaining copyrights and income will belong to Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company.
Group director Lu Xiaowei naturally went back to be the director of his art center, but Zhao Baogang left the state-owned unit to join Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company.
"You mean, director Zhao Baogang has joined the company?" Kang Jianfei asked the little girl happily.
The little girl at the front desk nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I heard that Director Zhao is also planning to film the new movie."
Kang Jianfei couldn't help but want to laugh a few times. Although Feizhi Film and Television had no more than ten people from managers to employees, it had two great masters, Zheng Xiaolong and Zhao Baogang, in charge.
Who is Zhao Baogang?
"FHM", "Defense of Marriage", "Struggle", "What Can I Do to Save You, My Love"... these TV series were all directed by him.
While Kang Jianfei and the girl at the front desk were chatting, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps inside, but it was Zheng Xiaolong who personally escorted three guests out. The three guests were: Wang Shuo, Feng Xiaogang and Ma Weidu.
Kang Jianfei was a little confused. He understood very well that Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang came to the company. What was Ma Wei doing here as a collector?
As soon as Zheng Xiaolong saw Kang Jianfei, he came over in surprise and introduced: "Mr. Kang, why are you here? Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Ma Weidu, the famous novelist and the boss of Haima Film and Television, and this is
The boss of Haima Film and Television, the famous novelist Mr. Wang Shuo, and this is the famous screenwriter Mr. Feng Xiaogang."
Ma Wei is not a collector, but the owner of a film and television company and a famous novelist?
