Chapter seven hundred and eighty first eight wind and rain meet the capital (continued)
The wind and rain in all directions will meet the capital!
Dong Fanghao was instantly impressed by the program plan presented by Lu Chen.
His current position is the director of the film department of CCTV and the general manager of New Vision. His main business is film projects, but this does not mean that he is not familiar with popular talent shows.
On the contrary, Dong Fanghao knows very well that CCTV currently attaches great importance to variety shows and is already brewing and preparing a number of variety entertainment brand programs to actively respond to challenges from major local satellite TV stations.
Today's CCTV is no longer the unrivaled and overwhelming ratings hegemon it was twenty years ago. Although no one can shake its position as the leader, it has been surpassed by the newly emerged satellite TV stations in many aspects.
For example, Xiangnan Satellite TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV, Huhai Satellite TV... and even Beijing Satellite TV have their own flagship products to segment the market, mainly focusing on TV series and variety shows.
The most typical examples are undoubtedly the several TV series that Lu Chen has collaborated with Zhejiang East TV and Beijing TV, which have beaten CCTV’s prime time ratings in terms of ratings, as well as the reality singing talent show "The Voice of China"
》, the ratings are also the best among the others!
Thanks to the cooperation with Lu Chen, the two satellite TV stations made a lot of money, especially Beijing TV. Many people came to CCTV to speak louder.
To say that CCTV doesn’t care about this and is not jealous at all is absolutely false!
Now Lu Chen has taken the initiative to seek cooperation with CCTV and has come up with a talent show plan that is very practical and will inevitably have a major impact. How can Dong Fanghao remain indifferent?
Although he is not responsible for this aspect, it is enough to get a recommendation!
After hurriedly browsing through the documents on the computer, Dong Fanghao immediately made a final decision: "I will call Director Zhao Gang over right away. He is the director of the program department of the variety show channel."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "There's no need to be so anxious, Director Dong. I'll pass this plan to you first, and then we can set a time to discuss it in detail. It can be done tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
He is not afraid that the plan will be leaked, because this program plan is completely for "The Swordsman", and it will be useless if others plagiarize it, and Dong Fanghao cannot be that stupid.
Dong Fanghao was anxious: "Can't it be done at night?"
Director Dong Da wished he could finalize the decision on the spot to avoid long nights and dreams.
But Lu Chen was very sorry: "I really don't have time tonight. I promised to go to Brother Tan Hong's house for a party, so..."
Of course, Dong Fanghao couldn't force it, so he changed the appointment to tomorrow.
The rehearsal in the afternoon lasted until after 5 o'clock. Although CCTV issued buffet coupons, except for the extras and staff, basically no one would be greedy for this meal.
Lu Chen and Filia Chen were no exception. They went to Tan Hong's house to taste Song Wanliu's craftsmanship.
After Tan Hong retired from the music scene, Lu Chen became more familiar with him. He visited his home more than once or twice, and he became very familiar with Tan Hong's wife and daughter.
Not only were the two guests together, there was also Liu Gangsheng!
Liu Gangsheng and Tan Hong have known each other for many years. Although one is in Hong Kong and the other is in the capital, and they rarely meet each other every two or three years, Liu Gangsheng always gets together with Tan Hong to chat whenever he comes to the capital.
This time Liu Gangsheng came to Beijing to attend the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, and he inevitably had to visit some old friends.
When they arrived at Tan Hong's house, Song Wanliu had almost prepared the meal. We were all friends, so there was no need to be polite. We sat down to eat and drink quickly, and the atmosphere was very lively.
After finishing the family dinner, Filia Chen helped Song Wanliu clean up the dishes, while Tan Hong, Lu Chen, and Liu Gangsheng sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.
The topic among the three inevitably brought up Lu Chen's just-concluded trip to South Korea. Even a person like Tan Hong, who has a somewhat warm-hearted personality, was full of praise for Lu Chen's victory over Li Zhecheng.
Liu Gangsheng smiled and said: "I also watched the live broadcast. Chen Zai is indeed very powerful. Even my two bodyguards admire him and say they are no match for you!"
The bodyguards hired by Liu Gangsheng are naturally not ordinary people. They can be convinced by their strength, of course.
Lu Chen said a few words modestly, and then talked about the upcoming movie "Swordsman".
and preparations for casting for the film.
Speaking of this, Liu Gangsheng really had something to say: "I don't care about your casting, the role of Xiang Wentian belongs to me!"
Liu Gangsheng's role in "The Swordsman" was decided long ago, but in terms of the role, the King of Hong Kong was still undecided at that time.
There are two characters he likes, namely Liu Zhengfeng and Xiang Wentian, and now he has finally made a decision.
With Liu Gangsheng's strength and reputation, if he wants to make a movie, many film companies will definitely be willing to kneel down and send him scripts for him to choose. He will definitely be the protagonist.
As for Liu Gangsheng's willingness to play a supporting role in "The Swordsman", apart from his friendship with Lu Chen, the most important thing is that he is interested in the script and is looking forward to new challenges in acting.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Of course no problem!"
He had already reserved the roles of Liu Zhengfeng and Xiang Wentian, waiting for Liu Gangsheng's decision.
Although the two supporting actors don't have many roles, with Liu Gangsheng joining the cast, the box office will be at least 100 million more!
Liu Gangsheng also regretted: "Actually Liu Zhengfeng is not bad..."
Lu Chen's heart moved and he immediately said to Tan Hong, "Brother Tan, why don't you play Liu Zhengfeng?"
Tan Hong looked confused: "Ah?"
After a while, he understood and shook his head: "You mean you want me to act? Then I really can't do it..."
Tan Hong has been in the pop music scene for many years. Apart from filming a lot of V films, he has never done any serious movies, let alone a commercial movie like "The Swordsman", so he instinctively refused.
However, Liu Gangsheng praised: "Yes, it is very suitable for Tan Sheng to play Liu Zhengfeng. I support it!"
Lu Chen encouraged: "There's nothing wrong with it. There aren't many scenes. I just need to shoot a few more times."
Tan Hong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just when he was about to insist on refusing, Song Wanliu brought Filia Chen over and asked curiously: "What are you talking about? What is okay?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we are talking about making a movie. I want Brother Tan to play a role."
Filia Chen's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's really great!"
Lu Chen didn't give Tan Hong a chance to refuse. He pulled Filia Chen to sit down, then took out his mobile phone and handed it to Song Wanliu: "Sister-in-law, take a photo of us. I'll announce the news first."
The four people, Lu Chen, Filia Chen, Liu Gangsheng and Tan Hong, respectively represent the four characters Linghu Chong, Ren Yingying, Xiang Wentian and Liu Zhengfeng.
Four real celebrities, this is definitely a very special and interesting photo!——
