Chapter 436 The four masters and apprentices who are floating (4000+ chapters~)
"Mom, you've watched this for the second time, why are you still wiping away tears?"
In the courtyard, Wu Jianye looked at his mother helplessly, and what he was talking about was exactly the desire she had just watched for the second time!
At the beginning of this year, CCTV dropped a tear gas bomb and a happy bomb across the country with two popular TV series!
Tear Gas is Desire. This large-scale indoor life drama was used by CCTV as the opening drama of the Lunar New Year.
Once it was broadcast, it officially aroused heated discussion across the country. Yanjing Daily also conducted a special survey on this. At this time, there was no agency that counted the ratings, so they only randomly interviewed TV viewers to get a rough rating situation.
.
In this questionnaire survey, the results showed that 961 people watched the TV series Desire, far exceeding the proportion of people watching similar TV series.
The number of viewers of Huo Yuanjia, the first publicly screened TV series in China, was 67, and the number of viewers in Shanghai was 32. Among them, 19 viewers gave a positive evaluation to Longing.
From this we can see why in later generations the desire will be described as empty.
In Yanjing, there is also a jingle about longing, the general environment, the small family, the things around you, the love of children.nsn, the ugly soul, the joys and sorrows, the separation and reunion, and the general relationship.
The members of the long-awaited crew were also very popular, and many places sent invitations, hoping that members of the crew could come to their places to express condolences and perform.
The one that has the same treatment as Longing is another popular TV series Journey to the West!
Different from the tears of longing, the broadcast of Journey to the West made all the children obsessed with the omnipotent Sun Wukong.
When Wu Jianye came back today, he saw several naughty children playing the role of master and disciple in the alley. Because a slightly fatter child was assigned to play the role of Pig Ring, he was sitting on the ground rolling and howling.
Naturally, I prefer watching Desire. It is now the second round of broadcast on Yanjing TV, but the ratings still beat the TV series from other TV stations.
This has become a program that I can’t beat every day.
The old lady looked at Wu Jianye with an unkind expression: "Tell me, why?"
Wu Jianye was suddenly confused: "Why?"
"Why do you think that is?"
""
Zhu Xuan explained in a funny way: "Mom, I'm asking you why you wrote Liu Huifang in such a miserable way?"
When Longing was first broadcast, I found out from Zhu Yan that Wu Jianye was the screenwriter of this TV series. After that, my nose was not my nose and my face was not my face towards Wu Jianye.
Later, after the longing performance was over, my temper got better. Now that the second round of playback started, my displeasure started again.
"Mom, this is a TV series, it's all fake!" Wu Jianye could only say weakly.
I don't care about this. Anyway, my son can't write Liu Huifang so badly. Then there was a lot of reprimands. It wasn't until Wu Nianyi started crying that I let Wu Jianye go.
Seeing Wu Jianye's helpless expression, Zhu Hao showed a hint of joy again.
"Okay, don't be angry. What Mom said, doesn't it just mean that the TV series you wrote is more popular?" Zhu Xian hugged Wu Jianye's arm and consoled him.
Wu Jianye let out a long sigh and said, "Hey, I finally know what it means to shoot yourself in the foot!"
Zhu Xiaoxiao asked: "You have already broadcast Journey to the West in Xiangjiang, why don't you also broadcast Desire in Xiangjiang?"
Wu Jianye walked to the sofa and sat down, and said: "If this TV series is broadcast in Xiangjiang, I will definitely rush to my grandma's house. He is different from Journey to the West!"
The reason why "Aspiration" has achieved such a big sensation in China is actually because the combination of this TV series and the domestic situation can arouse great resonance in the hearts of ordinary viewers, and it has achieved such great success.
But if this TV series is broadcast in Xiangjiang, it will only make the audience in Xiangjiang look confused, and then quickly switch TV stations, without any other functions.
As for Journey to the West, it's different. This book has a huge readership throughout Southeast Asia. In addition, there are no limitations in the subject matter. Naturally, it can be successful throughout Southeast Asia.
In fact, this is indeed the case. As the first TV series after ATV's star promotion, Journey to the West relied on ATV and achieved extremely high ratings throughout Southeast Asia.
The proof is that the four masters and apprentices in Journey to the West are completely popular. In just over a month, Tangting Culture has received countless invitations to invite them to perform on stage in various countries.
The four masters and apprentices are floating
The report brought by Xia Xiaohong in Tangting Culture's office illustrates this point very well.
"The four of them have received private invitations to perform commercials, boss, this is not the first time!" Xia Xiaohong looked very dissatisfied.
Although these four people are not actors from Tangting Culture, the copyright of the TV series "Journey to the West" belongs to Tangting Culture, so their commercial performances generally have to go through Tangting Culture, and Wu Jianye doesn't want to do it for such a small amount of money.
They had a falling out, so the remuneration for commercial performances was always 50/50, but the result still didn't satisfy them. Now, the four of them, under the title of master and apprentice, often take jobs privately.
Wu Jianye looked at the report in his hand and said, "Make a statement and prohibit them from using this name in private!"
Xia Xiaohong shook her head and said: "It's useless. Although we own the copyright of the TV series Journey to the West, we do not own the copyright of the four monks and disciples. They can completely reject our statement on this reason."
"even"
"Even what?" Wu Jianye looked at Xia Xiaohong and asked.
"Now when the four of them are accepting commercial roles outside, they often mention, consciously or unconsciously, that the success of this TV series is due to them, especially the actor Sun Wukong."
In fact, this was one of the reasons why the four masters and apprentices fell out with Director Yang Jie later. After Journey to the West achieved great success, the four masters and apprentices attributed the success of Journey to the West to their own success. Their relationship with Director Yang Jie
not big
Especially Teacher Zhang, in the following decades, he regarded the character of Sun Wukong as his own incarnation, and criticized the appearance of Sun Wukong in any other form.
This also gave rise to the later flowering of culture and style.
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said: "I will make an announcement saying that Tangting Culture will no longer cooperate with the four of them in the future."
Xia Xiaohong looked at Wu Jianye in confusion: "Is this possible?"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "It won't be too restrictive. It's not like Xiangjiang in China."
The domestic territory is too vast. Even if Tangting Culture does not use them at this time, it will not delay their cooperation with other cultural companies or TV stations. As long as the domestic entertainment industry has not officially entered the capital market, the binding force of Tangting Culture will not be affected.
It will be as huge as in Xiangjiang.
Wu Jianye did this just to express his attitude.
In fact, the experience of later generations also shows that these few people did not achieve much in the entertainment industry. Even thirty years later, they are still making money in the name of Journey to the West, without any other achievements.
Soon, the announcement about Tangting Culture spread throughout the domestic entertainment circle in Yanjing. This can be regarded as the first NS order in the country.
However, as Wu Jianye said, this incident did not have much impact on the four masters and apprentices. After all, major performance platforms recognized the four masters and apprentices, not the so-called Tangting culture.
Some people even openly claimed that Tangting Culture was looking for trouble and bullying others.
Wu Jianye didn't take this seriously at first, but when Xia Xiaohong found Wu Jianye again, he reported something to Wu Jianye.
"A company in Yanjing called Dachao Culture Company contacted their four masters and apprentices and planned to hire them to film a modern drama!"
After hearing this, Wu Jianye laughed, "Modern drama? This boss has some ideas?" Then he asked, "Does this Dachao Culture have any background?"
Nowadays, the establishment of cultural companies in China is nothing new. In Yanjing alone, there are already fifty or sixty cultural companies.
"There shouldn't be any official background. The boss is from Guangdong Province. He caught up with the craze in the past two years and made some money. Then he came to Yanjing and opened a cultural company. Before that, he invested in a movie and lost some money.
Qian, now he has invested in another TV series, which is said to be in cooperation with Yanjing TV Station."
"Then they were the ones who were adding fuel to the flames when someone said our store was a big bully?" Wu Jianye asked.
"good."
Wu Jianye: "Find out what kind of business this boss is doing, and then see how much money this boss is planning to invest in the TV series they are planning to shoot?"
Xia Xiaohong nodded, "I understand."
After Xia Xiaohong went out, Wu Jianye smiled.
"You still have the heart to laugh, they are obviously trying to use your reputation to promote themselves!" Zhao Fei sat aside and said dissatisfied.
Now that Zhao Fei has officially joined Tangting Culture, when Wu Jianye doesn't turn on his phone, Zhao Fei hangs out alone in Yanjing, often wandering around the city, and his life is extremely comfortable.
Zhao Fei found Wu Jianye today for nothing serious. He just drank with Chen Kaige two days ago and knew that he was going to Cannes to participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival. Zhang Yimou was also in Yanjing for some reasons at this time, so
Zhao Fei suggested that everyone get together as a celebration for Chen Kaige.
"This boss is quite interesting!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Nowadays, anyone in China who can think of using the public opinion situation to improve himself is definitely a talent, which also made Wu Jianye interested in this boss from Guangdong Province.
Zhao Fei complained: "It means nothing, and you just admit it?"
Wu Jianye: "How is it possible? Since the other party wants to try my skills, let him see it!"
As domestic development becomes faster and faster, after experiencing a small trough next year, the domestic entertainment industry should develop in the right direction.
This also means that Tangting Culture’s dominance in the country will be subject to more and more challenges. In fact, this is another reason why Wu Jianye chose to start filming the new Legend of the White Snake this year.
Due to indescribable reasons next year, the domestic film industry will suffer another blow, and this blow will come from the national level. Wu Jianye also took this opportunity to temporarily avoid the spotlight.
But this does not mean that Wu Jianye has to endure challenges from others. He hopes that the domestic entertainment industry can flourish, but he does not want to see anyone stepping on his shoulders.
If you want to use yourself as a ladder, you also need to see if the other party has the strength.
Zhao Fei nodded: "That's pretty much it. By the way, are you going to go tonight?"
Wu Jianye nodded: "Go ahead and let Chen Kaige treat you. His partner is rich anyway!"
Of course I am talking about Hong Huang. Now it can be said that the two of them are fighting fiercely and have already lived together.
Zhao Fei nodded and said: "This is necessary!"
In the evening, Chen Kaige showed his petty bourgeoisie as usual and chose a Western restaurant for his dinner. At this time, Western restaurants were no longer news in Yanjing City.
Present were Chen Kaige, Hong Huang, Wu Jianye, Zhang Yimou, Zhao Fei, Tian Zhuangzhuang who had not been seen for a long time, and Gong Li who was not supposed to be there.
"What have you been busy with lately?" Wu Jianye couldn't help but ask after seeing Tianzhuangzhuang.
Wu Jianye has been busy with his film career in the past few years and is often away from Yanjing. Sometimes he comes back and wants to meet Tianzhuangzhuang. It turns out that the other person is either not in Yanjing or he doesn't know where he is.
I met him less than two or three times.
Tianzhuangzhuang still had that slovenly look, which seemed extremely inconsistent with the temperament of the entire Western restaurant. Wu Jianye even suspected that if he didn't come with everyone, the waiters in the Western restaurant wouldn't let him in.
"We're making a movie." Gianzhuangzhuang said matter-of-factly.
"what movie?"
"The movie that reflects the theme of women getting pregnant out of wedlock is now temporarily named Special Operating Room!"
Wu Jianye gave Tianzhuangzhuang a thumbs up and said, "You are awesome. Do you think this subject matter can pass the review and be released?"
Tianzhuangzhuang said disapprovingly: "Why not? I didn't take any pictures?"
Wu Jianye also admired Tianzhuangzhuang's character. I don't know about Wu Jianye's other movies, but Wu Jianye still has some impression of this movie. It has been blocked for 17 years.
"Okay, don't try to persuade him anymore. Lao Mouzi and I have been trying to persuade him for a long time, but he died like this." Chen Kaige said.
Wu Jianye knew Tianzhuangzhuang's character, so he said nothing more. After sitting down, the waiter began to serve the meal.
At this time, Chen Kaige can be said to be holding back his energy. Wu Jianye's success in front of him is enough to make him upset. Now Zhang Yimou, who has always been regarded as his younger brother, also won the Golden Bear Award. He
This time I took Kid King to the Cannes exhibition to win awards.
