Chapter 822 Interview with the biggest TV station (4000+ chapters~)
Chen Kaige should be grateful to this era.
Because in this era, ordinary people can only know news about the entertainment industry through TV news and media newspapers.
At this time, whether it is TV news or media newspapers, their integrity is still there and there will not be too many negative reports.
Of course, this is not to say that Chen Kaige has any negative news, it is simply an attempt to satirize the Internet in later generations.
Talking about the Internet in later generations, the emergence of the Internet has allowed every ordinary person in front of a computer or mobile phone to participate in the entertainment industry to the greatest extent.
In later generations, Weibo even appeared on the hot search list!
They can directly click on the news they like to see on the hot search list. Of course, there are also some celebrities who like to spend their own money to get themselves on the hot search list.
But no matter what, the trending headlines are always a symbol of status. Even in entertainment articles, they are set so that the protagonist does not like to be on the trending searches, but then he happens to be on the top of the trending searches.
Create a contrast.
But no matter how you put it, Chen Kaige now hopes that he will be the focus of the national literary and art circle.
It's a pity that I was hit one after another.
If there was a hot search list in this era, the ranking of the top three would definitely be like this!
First: Exciting, "The World of Chu Xing" directed by Wu Jianye will represent Chinese films in the competition for Best Foreign Language Film at this Oscar!
Second: The pride of the Chinese people: Director Wu Jianye will become a judge of the 46th Cannes Film Festival. This is the first director in my country to become a judge of the Cannes Film Festival!
Third: Chen Kaige missed the headlines. Congratulations to director Chen Kaige for his work "Farewell My Concubine" which was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 46th Cannes Film Festival!
A perfect 1990s headliner's rhythm!
As mentioned before, although the Academy Awards are not as professional as the three major European film festivals, they represent the largest film market in the world. Therefore, the influence of the Academy Awards is actually
It is more than the three major European film festivals.
Now director Wu Jianye's "The World of Chu Xing" has been shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The significance of this in itself is that it surpasses Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" to be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival.
Competition unit!
Now it has also started a trend of heated discussion among the people.
But it is a pity that there is no Internet in this era, and everyone can only talk about this matter with their friends, but there is no way to publish their thoughts on the Internet.
At this time, Matthew Murphy also called.
"Director Wu, you already know, right?" Matthew Murphy's tone was still very respectful.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Already know."
Matthew Murphy asked: "What's next for us?"
Wu Jianye knew that Matthew Murphy was asking about public relations fees. In previous exchanges, Matthew Murphy knew that Wu Jianye was not very enthusiastic about this kind of thing, so he wanted to ask Wu Jianye what he meant.
"Just do what you have to do. Following the rules is the right choice!" Wu Jianye said.
When he didn't have enough ability to customize the rules, Wu Jianye still liked to abide by the rules. Although some people liked to break the rules, these people didn't have the strength to break the original rules, and in the end they could only end up in a mess.
fate.
The wisest thing about Wu Jianye is that before he breaks the rule, he will never be the one who breaks the rule.
The reason why Xiangjiang's Hong Kong Academy Awards were held was because Wu Jianye had that ability.
But now at the Academy Awards, Wu Jianye does not have this ability, and even Phantom Media does not have this ability. The Academy Awards was established in 1929. After such a long period of development, it has already formed its own authority.
.
In fact, it is not that there are no other film awards in North America, but there is still no way to compare with the Oscars.
There are so many intricate relationships in it that it is simply not possible for ordinary people to understand them.
Hearing what Wu Jianye said, Matthew Murphy immediately said that he would immediately send the video list to the Oscar judges!
As for what else is there besides the videotape, everyone knows that.
In fact, every film selected will do this. This is not to let you win an award, but just to give you a fair chance to participate!
It's ridiculous, only if you give money away can you have a fair chance!
CCTV directly approached Wu Jianye this time, hoping to conduct an exclusive interview with Wu Jianye in order to report on the two major news that broke out about Wu Jianye during this period.
Nowadays, CCTV is becoming more and more popular. This is actually due to the popularity of domestic TV sets. It is precisely because more people can afford TV sets. As the largest TV station in China, CCTV’s prestige is naturally also
getting bigger!
Wu Jianye thought for a while and agreed to the CCTV interview!
His relationship with CCTV is somewhat complicated. A few years ago, he bought the copyright of "Journey to the West" from CCTV. Although CCTV did not look down on "Journey to the West" at that time, all CCTV's thoughts were at that time.
"A Dream of Red Mansions", but the benefits created by the later "Journey to the West" far exceeded "A Dream of Red Mansions", which made CCTV a little dissatisfied!
This is actually what ordinary people think too.
I don’t need this thing, or I can give it to you.
But after a period of time, you suddenly come to me and tell me that you took this thing and created it, and it has value that I didn't expect. Then I will definitely not feel comfortable in my heart.
This is what CCTV is like!
Later, as Tangting Culture launched more and more high-quality TV dramas, it actually hit CCTV's own homemade dramas to a certain extent.
This also makes CCTV very uncomfortable. The most important thing is that there is no way to explain this kind of thing. Does it mean that I hate you because I am not as good as you?
Everyone knows this kind of thing, but they can't pierce the window paper.
If this is the only relationship between the two parties, then there should be many conflicts between CCTV and Wu Jianye.
But many things are not simply like this. For example, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is currently being filmed by CCTV. After receiving Wu Jianye's guidance, the overseas broadcast rights were bought at a very high price, which made CCTV a lot of money.
The bowl is full.
At the same time, CCTV has also seen the benefits of Hengdian Film and Television City. This year, it has launched several TV series, all of which were filmed in Hengdian Film and Television City.
More importantly, the main leaders of CCTV still know some details about Wu Jianye. Many advertisements broadcast by CCTV are sponsored by Yaoguang and other major groups. This means that CCTV is actually making money now.
Wu Jianye’s money.
Many times, we cannot look at current events from the perspective of future generations. What really allowed CCTV to dominate the world in advertising was actually after their advertising standard policy was launched.
And there is another thing that no outsider knows, that is, the leaders of CCTV also know that the operation of the TV station needs to re-explore a new development route.
In their opinion, Wu Jianye is a good consultation target.
This is also the reason why the leaders of CCTV knew some details about Wu Jianye.
CCTV has been developing rapidly in the past two years, but it will also encounter many problems that have never been encountered before. When these problems arise, Ai, the director of Radio and Television, once gave them a hint that if there is anything difficult to solve
If you have any questions, you can discuss them with Wu Jianye!
Although they were very confused at the time, they still tried to call several times. Sometimes, Wu Jianye gave them direct solutions, and sometimes gave them new ideas!
That’s why I say that the relationship between the two parties is now very complicated and subtle!
However, Wu Jianye knew that with the popularity of domestic TV sets, CCTV's status would only get higher and higher. Coupled with their unique background, no one could shake it.
What Wu Jianye can provide now is just some guidance on their growth. As CCTV's status becomes higher and higher, his role will become less and less.
Although Wu Jianye does not necessarily have to rely on CCTV to live his life, having a good relationship with CCTV is a very important thing.
Having more friends is always easier than having too many enemies!
CCTV also knows the timeliness of this kind of news, so the interview time agreed with Wu Jianye was very fast.
On this day, Wu Jianye walked into the CCTV building.
At this time, the CCTV building was not the big-pants building of later generations, but the Color TV Center.
When Wu Jianye walked to the door of the CCTV building, he saw the busy crowd here. The person responsible for interviewing Wu Jianye was actually Sun Xiaoxiao, who had previously hosted the premiere of "The World of Chu Xing" (because he was worried about the host's sensitive name,
I had no choice but to choose a pseudonym (as long as everyone knew who it was) and was already waiting for Wu Jianye at the door of the building.
"Director Wu, I didn't expect us to meet so soon!" Sun Xiao smiled and shook hands with Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Yes, I haven't thanked you properly before!"
Sun Xiao smiled and said: "Director Wu is so polite. The premiere was really eye-opening for me!"
The two chatted and came to the CCTV interview room.
The photographers nearby were also ready.
At this time, don't underestimate these CCTV photographers. As one of the best companies in the country, CCTV has always been the first choice for many cadres' children.
Photographer is the most popular position, and many children of deputy ministerial leaders work in this job.
Later generations Gao Gaogong said that once when he and Liu Huan went to the countryside to perform, a few people who looked like leaders walked in in the rest room, and then the person leading the team said: These are the leaders of our county, let everyone
Get up quickly to greet him.
Originally, they were there to enhance their presence, but unfortunately...
At that time, the group leader who was in charge of the performance by Gao Diagon and others pointed at their photographer and said, this is the son of a certain minister...
This should be the earliest form of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger after the reform and opening up!
Wu Jianye was not curious to ask who the photographer was. He just took a brief look and went to the dressing room. While putting on makeup, he and Sun Xiaoxiao were reading the script.
Makeup time is quick.
Sun Xiaoxiao looked at the time and saw that it was almost there, so she invited Wu Jianye to be interviewed.
The content of the interview is actually easy to understand and is divided into four parts.
The first part is naturally...
"Director Wu, first of all we would like to congratulate your new movie for setting an astonishing box office record in our country, but I think many ordinary viewers are like me and are curious about how much money Tangting Culture made from this movie.
?”
This means that we have entered the 1990s, and talking about money is no longer taboo in China, otherwise Sun Xiaoxiao would definitely not ask this question.
Wu Jianye did not hide this, and said with a smile: "According to the sharing agreement between Tangting Culture and Fengge Cinema, Tangting Culture will receive 60% of the first-round box office and 40% of the second-round box office.
At the same time, we deduct the corporate income tax that needs to be paid, as well as the fees for domestic film funds, etc., and everyone will know it at a glance!"
Although the specific amount was not stated, for Sun Xiaoxiao, this answer was already very satisfactory. After all, there is still a saying in China that wealth should not be revealed!
Now Wu Jianye's answer is enough to satisfy everyone.
Sun Xiaoxiao suppressed her surprise very well, and asked with a smile: "I didn't expect that a movie could bring such high profits, but Director Wu, have you ever thought about it, if you say so, everyone will
Everyone knows that you are rich, so aren’t you worried that some of your friends will ask you to borrow money when they hear that you have earned so much money?”
When he said the last part, Sun Xiaoxiao was already joking.
This interview is not meant to be a serious interview, and it's okay to make some jokes appropriately.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Then they must have found the wrong person, because I don't have any money now!"
"How come you have no money? One movie earned more than 100 million. Director Wu, you should be the richest person in the country now, right?"
At this time, there was no such thing as the richest man.
Sun Xiaoxiao asked this, actually to lead to the next topic!
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Because all the money has been invested in my new movie, and the company needs to operate, not only my movies but also other directors' movies, and TV works all need money."
Sun Xiaoxiao: "Director Wu, when I attended your movie premiere, I heard that the investment in your new movie will be as high as 100 million. Is this news true?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Of course, and this investment of 100 million is only the initial investment. As for whether subsequent filming will involve larger investment, it depends on the subsequent filming."
Even though she already knew the answer, Sun Xiaoxiao was still very shocked.
"Director Wu, have you ever thought about what will happen if your new movie fails?" Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
Wu Jianye smiled: "If it fails, there is nothing we can do about it. To put it bluntly, movies are actually a business. No one will know whether the movie will be successful until the moment it is released. There are risks in the movie industry.
There are many, please be careful when entering the industry!”
"Shouldn't it be that the stock market is risky and we need to be cautious when entering the market?" Sun Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
