Chapter 2136 Ode to Joy ends

Li Yu thought for a while and said: "Originally, this time, the investors were not very generous, and the remaining funds were not very large.

Therefore, I planned to go there two weeks in advance to do publicity and public relations. But this time, with Ye Ming’s "Run", others around the world go to public relations two or three months in advance.

Although it is not an art film, it cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, I plan to discuss it with investors, and we will go there in advance to do public relations and so on. Invest more, so that we will not have any chance to compete."

Investors' money doesn't just come from the wind. You can invest as much as you want. Generally speaking, even Li Yu has to shoot according to the planned time and cost.

The remaining money will be used for post-production and publicity needs.

Therefore, under such a situation, if you want to go to Venice in advance to do public relations or other publicity, you must increase your investment.

In this regard, Li Yu will not use his own money to subsidize the crew. It is not impossible to do this, but generally speaking, directors will not spend their own money to make movies. At least they will find investors to share the risks. This is very

Necessary.

This is also the way the entertainment industry generally talks about making movies. Even Titanic, which is said to be the most profitable movie in history, was not made by an investor.

If you eat alone, in the entertainment industry, under normal circumstances, you are most likely to be starved to death.

Of course, if you invest one to two million, if you want to take pictures for fun or if you want to burn money and waste money, this is an exception.

And there are definitely not a few prodigals like Hollywood who shoot low-budget movies.

But for large investments, under normal circumstances, you will definitely find relevant partners.

After all, sharing of benefits is the only way to go. Even if Coppola, a legendary Hollywood director, later filmed "Apocalypse Now" on his own, it was a failure.

No one can deny the artistic status and humanistic sentiments of Apocalypse Now in Hollywood movies, but it is for sure that it does not make money. The blood loss made Coppola unable to recover for a long time.

Now Coppola has almost retired from the entertainment industry, which has nothing to do with this movie.

Li Yu is a very cunning director in this regard. It is simply impossible for him to use his own money to promote the film.

Therefore, if you want to launch the public relations of the Venice Film Festival, investors must take the money.

Fortunately, Li Yu's reputation is still there, so it's not impossible to get some funds to promote it. It's just that it's simply impossible to be as professional as Universal.

He is a veteran, and in this regard, no matter whether it is financial resources or connections, Li Yu can't compare.

The reason why he acted like this was because he said he would do everything in his power to obey fate and was unwilling to surrender without a fight.

Moreover, Li Yu also quickly expressed that he would also participate in the Venice Film Festival. This news immediately made the entertainment industry lively.

Over there, Ye Ming just said he wanted to hit the Golden Bear and Silver Bear Awards, and here Li Yu's Lust, Caution also said he wanted to hit Venice. This is the result of the fight between two dragons.

Therefore, this kind of thing is naturally a favorite subject of entertainment reporters. Before Li Eu got on the plane, he had been interviewed by some familiar reporters.

The reporter also said that if Director Li Yu's Lust, Caution participates in the Venice Film Festival, it will cross paths with Ye Ming's "Running Man". The words also vaguely hinted at whether Li Yu was confident of defeating Ye Ming and winning the Golden Bear Award.

What.

Anyway, this move is just to sow discord.

If Li Yu jumped into the pit, the reporter would immediately turn around and write that Li Yu was disdainful of Ye Ming. Anyway, it would make a good headline.

In such a situation, Li Yu would naturally not really be fooled.

After all, this interview was arranged by him. At this moment, Li Yu also expressed that he has confidence in his movie. Lust, Caution is a good movie, and the original work is also quite artistic, and it is very suitable for the Venice Film Festival.

.

As for whether he can defeat Ye Ming, Li Yu will naturally not show such aggressive momentum.

After all, he himself is not very sure about defeating Running Bar and competing for the Golden Bear Award. But since he expressed his confidence in Lust, Caution, it means that he is confident in defeating Running Bar.

This is actually not much different from saying in advance whether to defeat Ye Ming or not. It just looks better in appearance.

This is also a method commonly used by cunning people in the entertainment industry.

A truly cunning filmmaker will always emphasize that his own work is the best and will not deliberately belittle his opponents.

Because if you deliberately belittle someone, it is a sign of lack of confidence.

People who truly have confidence in themselves will generally not try to improve themselves by belittling their opponents. If they do this, they will fall behind.

As an old man in the entertainment industry, Li Yu obviously would not do this.

Under such a situation, a reporter soon went to interview Ye Ming and said that Director Li Eucalyptus's Lust, Caution would also hit Venice. What did Ye Ming think of this matter?

Ye Ming is not an ordinary person. He is a little fox, so naturally he will not be easily fooled.

Therefore, Ye Ming said very happily that everyone is representing the Chinese film industry and they are all descendants of Yan and Huang.

Moreover, Director Li Eucalyptus is also a very powerful international director.

Although I have not seen the finished movie of Lust, Caution, I have seen some trailers. The trailers also show that this is a pretty good movie.

The reporter then asked Ye Ming whether he was confident about this Venice Film Festival.

Ye Ming unexpectedly said very modestly that this time he went to attack Venice with a learning attitude.

Therefore, in line with the principle of friendship first, competition second, let actors like Zhao Xiaodao, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Deng Chao and others get familiar with the International Film Festival.

As for winning or not winning awards, it is basically just a matter of doing your best and letting fate dictate.

Anyway, what Ye Ming said in front of reporters was remarkable, and he would never let reporters find any personal leverage.

Moreover, Ye Ming, who has always been relatively arrogant, was unexpectedly very humble this time. He said that he took the actors with him just to study. After these words came out, many people couldn't believe it.

Is this still Ye Ming? Is this still the all-powerful Ye Ming who must repay his flaws?

It seems to have become a peace messenger or something. However, some netizens said that it would be strange for a movie shot in just a few days to actually win an award.

Moreover, the Venice Film Festival has always been away from the coal industry and prefers commercial blockbusters. "Run" is a commercially successful one.

This is a message from a fan who is more rational and familiar with the Venice Film Festival.

Anyway, no matter what, Ye Ming will never fall for the hype with Li Yu.

This made Li Yu's preparations for a quarrel in the distance useless. Although the Ode to Joy was extremely popular, the banquet spread over thousands of miles would eventually break up.

Therefore, even though it was very popular, Ode to Joy finally came to an end.

How popular is Ode to Joy this time? Countless fans wrote letters asking Ode to Joy not to end.

Longer, longer. But if you look at the program trailer, Ode to Joy will definitely end this Saturday. But this is not what the analysis hopes to see.

Netizens on the Internet also left messages on the official Ode to Joy pages of CCTV and Huihuang.com, hoping that the Ode to Joy can continue to be joyful.

At this time, Hong Fei received a call from CCTV to report the situation of Ode to Joy to Ye Ming.

Hong Fei took out the document and said: "The ratings of Ode to Joy are 28, ranking third in history and ranking first since the new century."

The historical ratings record for CCTV TV series was set by Water Margin in 1998, which was 40.

The second place is Thirty-Three created by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in 1994.

Of course, if you insist on talking about Journey to the West, Desire, etc., then there is no way to compare.

In those days, there were a total of several TV channels on the TV set. And there seemed to be no ratings statistics at that time.

Needless to say, the Spring Festival Gala's ratings are the highest. Without statistics, the ratings are close to 99.9%.

You know, at that time, the Spring Festival Gala was invincible and there was no program competing with it for ratings.

For example, now Mango Channel, Lychee Channel, Blueberry Channel, etc. are constantly trying to compete with the Spring Festival Gala for ratings. This thing is completely different.

Ode to Joy has a ratings of 128%, ranking third in history and ranking first in the new century. This is definitely an amazing achievement.

Ye Ming was very satisfied and slapped the table with a smile and said: "Not bad, not bad, really good. We haven't even reached the final battle yet, and the ratings have already reached 28.

If it comes to the final battle, breaking through thirty is not impossible.

There may not be much hope of reaching the first place. The ratings of Water Margin of 40 are like a big mountain.

The Thirty-Three created by The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which has the heavy feeling of a historical masterpiece, seems to be more difficult to attack. After all, it is not one of the four major classics, and it does not have enough foundation.

But Ode to Joy must be said to hit thirty, and it doesn't seem impossible. How do you say it over there, what does it mean?" Hong Fei came over to report this matter. Obviously it is impossible to say that this matter is just to report the ratings.

Simple.

Hong Fei is not that superficial either. A ratings rating can make it difficult for him to decide.

What really made him come to Ye Ming was definitely because someone gave him a difficult problem in such a situation, which he found difficult to solve.

This problem must be decided by Ye Ming, the boss. In this case, it is possible for Hong Fei to come over and ask Ye Ming for instructions.

As expected, Hong Fei sent over the document and said: "This is a suggestion from the director of CCTV. He suggested that we should strike while the iron is hot and put the work on the second season of Ode to Joy on the agenda. You may not necessarily say that Ode to Joy will be taken over, but

At least don't wait too long.

In this case, we can just take advantage of the popularity of this Ode to Joy and re-hype it. There is hope of hitting the ratings of Thirty-Three."

Ye Ming shook his head and said with great certainty: "Impossible, impossible, maybe it is possible in other places.

For example, on satellite TV, it is possible for Huanzhugege to have a ratings of over 60.

But it is impossible to do the same thing on CCTV. These four classics are different, and they still have thousands of years of heritage.

It is a treasure-level work of Chinese civilization.

Ode to Joy can be said to be fast food literature, something to coax young people into playing.

Therefore, if our TV series can pass the age of 30 at this time, I think it will be very remarkable.

As for passing thirty-three, it is simply an impossible task. Maybe they are thinking of filming historical masterpieces such as Liao Zhai, White Snake, and Surprise, etc. Maybe they have a little hope of hitting the top two results.

It is absolutely impossible for Ode to Joy to hit Thirty-Three. The second part is even more impossible.

Only Journey to the West and Dream of Red Mansions, both of the Four Great Classics, can beat the ratings of Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms on CCTV.

It's a pity that these two films have already been promoted to gods on CCTV early and have no chance.

As for Ode to Joy, this director wanted to hit second place. Who gave him the courage, Liang Jingru?

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

In history, except for the second part of My Fair Princess, the ratings exceeded the first part, no other TV series has had this miracle.

Ode to Joy also failed. But maintaining a certain ratings is still a matter of how old Ye Ming is.

However, we have to wait a little for the audience to digest it first, and let our five beauty endorsement merchants make some money and promote their own products, and then we start filming the second part.

Just say that our script is being written and has not been finished yet. If anything happens, let him come to me."

Can he find it? He needs to find a leader at the level of Director Zhao to find Ye Ming. A director basically does not have the qualifications to talk to Ye Ming on an equal footing.

Hong Fei thought for a while and then said: "Boss, tell me, in Yang Di's situation, it seems a bit bad for us to refuse this matter directly. After all, we are partners with you.

You have no problem, but other artists in our company still have to cooperate with CCTV?"

They can't deal with you, can't they deal with the artists in your company?

Although Ye Ming defended his shortcomings, he only defended his shortcomings with reason, and he could not do so unreasonably.

If CCTV wants to deal with an artist, there are many ways to ban it. Therefore, under such a situation, Hong Fei feels that the boss should carefully consider how to handle this matter. At least.

Don't say no so absolutely.

Ye Ming pondered for a moment, and it seemed that this was also the case.

Therefore, Ye Ming thought for a moment before saying: "If that's the case, fine, just give him one more episode. After the finale, we will shoot a farewell episode of Ode to Joy.

Some behind-the-scenes of the filming of Ode to Joy were played, and Wu Mei and other main actors were interviewed there. It would be no problem to make an episode, and it would be considered a business deal for them.

Besides, it’s not that I won’t shoot the second part. I will definitely shoot it this year, so they can rest assured.

After all, the topic of Ode to Joy has not reached its peak. Shooting the second part at this time is obviously a waste of resources for the first part."

As a senior in the entertainment industry, Ye Ming is very clear about this.
