"It's been a long time, Mr. Tang. I heard that your new movie has been completed. I'll be able to see your masterpiece on the big screen again in a few months."
"It's still early to wrap up. I have to go abroad to New York, and Mr. Han is also going to help with "The Founding of the People's Republic of China." Tang An said with a smile.
After Tang An came in, he didn't sit down immediately, nor did he chat with the organizer. He immediately found Zhao Baogang, who was a few tables away, and took the initiative to join him.
"It's really enviable that Director Tang can direct "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". It is a tribute film for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is said that the leaders above will watch the film collectively." Zhao Baogang sighed, with a hint of envy in his tone.
It's not easy to make this kind of movie, and Han Sanping only found two of his old classmates, Huang Jianxin and Tang An.
"With too much attention, there is also a lot of pressure. Always be careful not to cause any problems."
What's so good about this is that the three of them co-directed, and the shots they were responsible for were probably not very important. It was Han Sanping's credit for the filming. It would have been nice not to be blamed if something went wrong.
Tang An chatted with Zhao Baogang first and thanked him for giving him the character in "Struggle".
Zhao Baogang was confused as to what Tang An meant.
"Struggle" was aired two years ago, and I'm still grateful to Mao at this time.
Is it possible that you want another role?
Zhao Baogang thought that this was the only possibility.
Suddenly, Tang An asked casually, "Director Zhao, are you working on any projects recently?"
Sure enough!
Zhao Baogang waved his hand and said with a smile, "'Who's in Charge of My Youth' has just been broadcast on CCTV. I don't have any plans for the time being. I'm going to take a break for a while."
Tang An pretended to be surprised and said, "The TV drama industry has developed rapidly in the past two years. It is said that "New Three Kingdoms", which will be broadcast in May, has sold 1.6 million episodes in the first round. A single episode worth one million is nothing."
The next two years will indeed be the beginning of the explosion of the TV drama industry. "New Three Kingdoms" cost 160 million and sold 230 million. Overseas sales were 50 million. "New Journey to the West" cost 100 million and sold 190 million.
You know, "Golden Wedding" after winning the TV show in 2007 only cost RMB 700,000 per episode. This price shocked the entire TV industry.
As a result, next year the popular "Golden Wedding" sold 1.8 million episodes, more than doubling the number.
The real big hit is the online copyright. The online copyright of "New Three Kingdoms" is 150,000 per episode. In two years, the online copyright of "The Secret History of Princess Taiping" can be sold for 1.11 million, with a total price of 50 million, which is higher than the first-round TV rights of many TV series.
high.
Even the online copyright of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which was aired in the same year and became a huge hit, only sold 20 million.
And it’s not just the price. The injection of TV dramas also started in the past two years, but it’s just not as crazy as it was later.
Even if these masterpieces have 70 or 80 episodes, the length is there after all, but other TV series have generally had more than 40 episodes in the past two years, and TV series with less than 30 episodes have almost disappeared.
"It's true that the industry is getting better and better, so we can have something to eat."
Zhao Baogang said this as if he could only earn a living by filming TV series.
Then he added, "Actually, TV dramas are not that easy to develop. Huayi has almost no film and television production business in the past two years."
Tang An's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, Zhao Baogang took the initiative to speak out. He asked without leaving any trace, "Huayi is such a big company. I don't know why it suddenly gave up its film and television production business."
...
After chatting for half an hour, Tang An finally got a general idea of Huayi's current situation.
The majority of Huayi's current profits come from outdoor advertising and travel TV advertisers, which account for 60% of profits.
Excluding performance activities, theater business, and film and television production, they actually don’t account for much.
The advertising industry is now bigger than the film industry. Last year, the marketing of outdoor electronic screens alone was higher than the box office of the film industry in a year.
Huayi has two other large advertising companies, and Travel TV's ratings are pretty good now. In comparison, the film and television industry is nothing.
Now that Bernard has left Poly, in addition to losing a share of dividends, the films produced and distributed by Bernard have begun to promote themselves, and the film and television advertising business has basically been cut off.
Moreover, Yu Dong not only split up Bernard, he also poached part of Huayi’s publicity resources.
Although it has only been more than a month since we separated from Bernard, it has already produced certain negative consequences. It remains to be seen whether Huayi can reverse it.
After chatting for a few more words, I almost got a rough idea of what I wanted to know, and was about to return to my place.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noisy sounds coming from the rear left, which seemed to be from my position.
Tang An looked through the gap in the crowd and saw that at the table behind his just now, the organizer gave himself and Hua Yi a favor by letting the unknown newcomers sit in the second row.
It was normal for Lu Yi and Lin Xinru to occupy the table in the first row. I came here at short notice. I guess the table in the second row was temporarily arranged, but I don't know whose seat was replaced.
"Director Zhao, let me go over and take a look."
Tang An smiled apologetically at Zhao Baogang, got up and walked to the left.
As expected, it was exactly what Tang An thought, and it was not a good thing.
It's not that enemies don't get together, it's Chengtian's group, Hu Jun, Liu Jialin, Guo Xiaodong, Song Jia and some unknown ninth-tier actors, with Wang Jinghua personally taking the lead.
They and Wang Xiaoming were talking about something, and judging from their aura, they were not very friendly. The news frightened Zhao Liying, Wang Kai, and Wang Xiaochen.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Wang? What a coincidence that you have come to contribute to our country's charity?"
Tang An walked forward with a smile, patted Huang Xiaoming's arm, and motioned to the actors at the back to sit down.
"Mr. Tang!"
Tang An came, and Wang Xiaoming and the others breathed a sigh of relief, especially the few ninth-tier actors in the back. It was rare to sit so close to the front, and they didn't want to move to the back.
Wang Xiaoming and Wang Jinghua used to be in the same company, but they didn't have much friendship. Even Wang Jinghua's male actors used to compete with him for resources.
It doesn't matter that Lu Yi was brought here by Liu Tao, and Lin Xinru joined Huayi later. As far as the current camps are concerned, the two sides are rivals, and even enemies.
However, the other party also has one or two big names, and Wang Jinghua is also suppressing them. If they insist on fighting, they will inevitably make others laugh.
Wang Xiaoming immediately explained the matter briefly. It turned out that the table behind them was originally occupied by the ninth-tier actors under Chengtian. Wang, Wang Jinghua and the others were right next to their table.
However, the organizer temporarily gave that position to Hua Yi, and Wang Jinghua immediately became angry. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked the young actors to give up their positions.
Facing the prestigious "gold medal agent", several newcomers were immediately frightened. Fortunately, Wang Xiaoming and others came forward.
Damn it!
The organizer is probably going to stir up trouble and give Cheng Tian's position to him, but he hasn't shown up yet.
It's so shameless. Even if it's to promote your own charity dinner, you don't have to do this.
Maybe there is already a camera secretly filming at this time.
"Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Mr. Tang." Wang Jinghua chuckled and then snorted coldly.
"It's a bit inappropriate for Mr. Tang to occupy our position like this."
Tang An glanced at the side. Most of the people around him were watching the show with the mentality of watching the fun, and no one came to be the peacemaker.
However, there are only a few people who are qualified to talk to Tang An and Wang Jinghua, and they are too lazy to get involved in this nonsense.
PS is not in good condition. What I wrote is a mess. I’m going to bed now. I’ll have a day off tomorrow and try to write as much as possible.
My colleagues all took the day off yesterday and asked girls to play with each other. Otherwise, if I was tired from playing last night, I would have the day off today. I would be the hardest pressed...
