The phenomenon-level work in 2001 has an even greater influence on young people than the 1999 "My Fair Princess 2".
The main reason is that the four male protagonists are too handsome, and the plot arrangement of the "ugly duckling" being competed by multiple prince charmings has touched the hearts of most young female viewers.
Just this routine was changed a few years later, and it was put on "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", and it still won another ratings championship.
Cao Xuan had been watching mainland TV dramas before and almost forgot about this drama.
But don’t worry too much, this drama was banned in mainland China after it premiered once or twice, apparently because it was suspected of promoting puppy love.
This led to the popularity of the DVD of "Meteor Garden", and many people went to Internet cafes to catch up on the show. It was the first work to trigger a large-scale online drama viewing in mainland China.
So there is no need to worry about whether it will affect the ratings of Stars drama. On the contrary, it is because of the launch of F4 in the TV series that it is worth noting.
This man who pushed a group of Korean boy bands to the ground and rubbed them became famous throughout Asia.
The two albums sold 7 million, and he was treated as a leader in Southeast Asia and other countries. Jay Chou of the Original Time and Space did not become popular in the mainland until the second half of 2002. To a certain extent, F4 was too popular, and Zhou was blocked.
The birth of F4 is destined to bring a wave of impact to the current music scene and even the entertainment industry.
As the first person of the new generation in the music industry, Cao Xuan will not be immune to the impact, but that's about it.
Cao Daguan is not Xiao Zhou who has just made his debut. He has worked hard for three consecutive years and reached the top of the Asian King. His basic base has long been stable, and it is not something that F4 can influence.
At this moment, if Cao Xuan wants to compete with Xie Feng for popularity like he did when he first debuted, then these two years will be in vain.
Therefore, Cao Xuan was just surprised and quickly sold the copyright of "The Last Resort" to the crew of "Popular Garden".
Cao Xuan doesn't care about the popularity threats of F4 and "Meteor Garden", but he is still very concerned about the turmoil in the field of mainland TV dramas.
2001 was an explosive year for domestic dramas. In the first month of January alone, three hit dramas were released in a row.
The first one is Ying Da's "Northeast Family". As the pioneering director of Chinese sitcoms, Ying Da has been investing a lot of energy in the field of sitcoms.
On the one hand, it is about feelings. Ying Da really wants to create another pinnacle work like "I Love My Family".
On the other hand, sitcoms are indeed a good business model for film and television companies.
The investment is low, the return is high, and the most important thing is that the plot can be kept concentrated. In theory, as long as the popularity is enough, the TV station is willing to buy it. For a unit-type work like a sitcom, a hundred episodes will only require more screenwriters.
At this stage, the two major players in sitcoms, Kongzheng, have begun to exert their efforts. Only Yingda can really sell sitcoms at a high price.
In the past two years, "The Idle Man Sister Ma" had outstanding results, and he immediately released "Northeast Family".
This sitcom, in which many comedians gathered together to describe a worker family in Northeast China, quickly aroused repercussions in the country.
At the same time, it also became popular with the theme song "Northeastern People Are All Living **". With its unique style, this song quickly became popular on the Internet and became the first generation of Internet divine songs.
The names Xuecun and Music Pingshu were also reported by many media and quickly became popular.
In addition to "Northeast Family", Zhang Guoli also released another series of masterpieces "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" in January.
He Shen plays Wang Gang again after "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", and Emperor Ama and Zhang Tielin play Qianlong again after the "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" series.
The Iron Triangle united for the first time, and with the addition of the popular Yuan Li, they easily became a hit.
This was also Zhang Guoli's attempt to establish an independent branch after the gap between him and the superstar Deng Dazui. The results were good and it strengthened his determination to separate from the superstar.
At the beginning of the century, the mainland film and television market could not avoid the superstar Deng Dazui. This man came from an advertising background and was good at hype. It was he who promoted the popularity of TV series pre-roll advertising.
Zhang Guoli's "Kangxi Private Interviews in Private" series was shot by Deng Dazui.
At their peak, the annual income of superstars ranged from tens of millions to hundreds of millions. In terms of profit ratio, Huayi was the younger brother.
However, Deng Dazui was not a very particular person, and his mouth was full of oil after he ate, so Zhang Guoli could only barely drink the soup after giving him a lot of effort.
The first part of "Kangxi Private Interview" was a huge hit. The producer Zhang Guoli didn't make a penny and even lost some production fees. If he hadn't been paid for the film, he would have worked in vain.
In addition, this man, nicknamed Deng Dazui, especially likes to set off firecrackers, blowing in the east and spraying in the west. He will start to hype whenever there is nothing wrong. This has many benefits, but it also offends many people.
Zhang Guoli has always followed the line of a good old man and was very disgusted with Deng Dazui's approach of making enemies everywhere. After the initial honeymoon period, Lao Zhang planned to set up his own business.
Super Star owned the copyright of "Kangxi Private Interview", so Zhang Guoli made a version of "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" instead.
Later, the two parties also cooperated, but the relationship was no longer what it used to be.
Lao Zhang first set up his own business, and then followed Feng Xiaogang to join Huayi. The superstar gradually declined, and Deng Dazui later became a laosha.
Cao Xuan once had an idea for Lao Zhang, and if he could be recruited under Fanxing's banner, he would be considered a general. However, Zhang Guoli's reaction was mediocre and he really didn't want to work with anyone else.
However, he did welcome Fanxing to participate in his project, and Cao Xuan was noncommittal.
There is no problem with making money from Lao Zhang's projects, but they are all big pot dishes, and they often bring in several companies to get a share of the profits. There is really no profit, and Cao Xuan doesn't like it very much.
However, the two parties can exchange artist resources. Some of Lao Zhang's plays are very popular, and some of Fanxing's plays can also be given to familiar faces under his banner. Both parties will benefit from each other.
Although this person is a bit "sneaky", he has really strong connections and is recognized by his superiors, so there is no harm in cooperating with him.
The last one is "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" launched by Hairun Film and Television.
Lu Yi once again produced a representative work and has become a representative of the first-line niche.
Mr. Zhou is famous, Chen Kun, Li Xiaoran and Sun Honglei are also famous.
Chen Yong also took this opportunity to announce the news that Lu Yi would take on the role of Bao Zheng in "Young Man Bao Qingtian 2", which immediately caused a thousand waves.
Lu Yi is very popular, Cao Xuan is even more popular than him.
His performance in "Young Man Bao Qingtian" was also recognized by many people. The sudden substitution immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the fans of the drama, and even the media expressed doubts.
"Young Master Bao Qingtian 2" soon fell into the controversy of changing roles. The replacement of Li Bingbing and Hu Jing was also discovered by the media, which caused an uproar in the world.
If Cao Xuan was just an artist, even if he was a king, and Chen Yong said something specious, he could throw the blame on Cao Xuan, Hu Jing and others, and remove the crew from public opinion.
But Cao Xuan is more than just an artist, Fanxing's scale is no worse than Chen Yong's company.
The most important thing is that the copyright of the "Youngster Bao Qingtian" series was originally in the hands of the crew, so Fanxing also had a 20% stake.
This small amount of shares won't play a decisive role, but it's definitely enough to disgust people. Once a lawsuit is filed and some tricks are used, your tens of millions of projects will have to be stopped.
So Chen Yong really didn't dare to offend Cao Xuan, so he could only say that it was due to scheduling reasons and break up peacefully.
Fanxing and Cao Xuan didn't reply at first, but then Lu Yi, annoyed by the reporter's questions, couldn't hold back his temper and replied.
"I think the producers are right. I am more suitable to play Bao Zheng, and I am confident that I can perform better than the actors in the previous film."
Just this sentence almost caused a war between fans of Cao Xuan and Lu Yi.
Fan Xiaopang, who also joined "Young Master Bao Qingtian 2", was originally a new member of the crew, and he and Lu Yi have been advancing and retreating together, and they even cheered each other in front of the media.
As a result, after listening to Lu Yi's words, he disappeared directly. Ren Quan and Shi Xiaolong were asked by the crew to keep silent. Li Bingbing did not participate in the show, so he naturally helped Cao Xuan, who had a better relationship with them.
"I think it is inappropriate for Lu Yi to say this. Let's discuss the matter as it is. Changing roles is beyond the control of the actor, and we cannot implicate innocent people."
What Li Bingbing said was quite polite. When Mrs. Hu, who was also one of the parties involved, was questioned by the media, she directly protected her husband in a domineering manner.
"Who is Lu Yi? I've never heard of him. I hope he can also win a national TV championship."
After a round of interviews with the parties involved, the media caught up with Cao Xuan at Baihua Recording Studio and got the answer from the real owner.
"When this drama airs, I will study hard in front of the TV (laughs)."
Lu Yi has always had a young, energetic and outspoken persona since his debut. Cao Xuan doesn't know if it's true or not, but he won't let go of his dignity and start a fight with him.
To be honest, the price dropped.
With Cao Xuan's famous status, he has actually been able to enter the film industry and compete with the big names in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The reason why he is still acting in TV series now is because it is his own business.
One is still clinging to the big money, and the other has begun to become half of the capital. The two parties are not on the same level now.
Even if Cao Xuan is dismissed, the target will still be CEO Hairun or Hai Yan behind Lu Yi, and he will not argue with Lu Yi as a "pawn".
So he simply said something along the way, and the situation opened up immediately, and he could compete with Lu Yi's words.
The most important thing is that Cao Xuan's words put Lu Yi on the back foot.
If Lu Yi is worse than Cao Xuan in "Young Master Bao Qingtian 2", that's fine. If he is not as good as Cao Xuan, or even equal, then just wait to be ridiculed by all parties.
However, although he turned against Lu Yi, the petty Cao Xuan still took revenge.
I dare not say that there are too many. It is estimated that it will be difficult for Lu Yi to participate in the film and television projects of Fanxing and closely cooperating companies in the future.
Even if Cao Xuan is willing to pay part of the price, he can steal the corner and make Lu Yi doubt his life...
In fact, Cao Xuan is used to this kind of thing. With his high popularity, some people want to hype him up, and the media is also happy to report on it. It has long been commonplace in the outside world.
Had it not been for the intervention of Lu Yi, a popular young man, and Li Bingbing and Hu Jing, there wouldn't have been such a big disturbance.
Cao Xuan didn't take this matter too seriously. He paid more attention to the release prices, data flow, and the beneficial effect on the stars of these three popular movies, and then compared them with the star dramas to calculate how to make better money.
