Chapter 291 The Development of TV Dramas
With the successful completion of the TV series "Parents' Love", the three TV series invested by Xingchen Film and Television Company have all completed filming and entered the post-production editing process.

For this purpose, Wang Changtian from Guangxian even made a special trip to ask if any help was needed with the TV station's broadcast.

"We can't guarantee anything about movies, but TV series are developing very fast. Guangguang has been working on it for so many years, so we can still make some comments."

At present, since entering the new century, in the past ten years, the domestic drama market has experienced alliances and the bubble was finally crushed by the market correction. In the past two years, the domestic drama market has entered an era of high-quality creation.

After the General Administration announced the copyright issue, Sohu Video purchased the copyright of the series "New My Fair Princess" at a "sky-high price" of 3000 million yuan.

The traffic code of exchanging copyright for clicks has begun to become the beginning of the fight for the right to speak among video websites.

Especially the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" which was newly launched this year. In Gu Wei's memory, LeTV will purchase the copyright for 2000 million next year and has received more than 20 billion views within half a year.

This marked the beginning of the peak of the Internet age.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Wang."

"Hey, I can't help you with anything else, but don't worry about this matter. I'll make appointments with a few TV stations and help you negotiate a good price."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian waved his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

He has made a lot of money following Gu Wei over the years. Although Guangguang helped a lot when Gu Wei started his business, he still feels bad for always taking advantage of Gu Wei without being able to help. This time, he came here as soon as he heard that the TV series of Xingchen Film and Television Company had been completed.

According to official reports, from January to September this year, various TV drama production organizations across the country released a total of 1 domestic TV dramas and 9 episodes. It is expected that the total number will be the same as last year.

The number of institutions holding "TV Drama Production License" and "Radio and Television Program Production and Operation License" continues to increase.

You should know that the CCTV TV drama production force, which is currently composed of the State Television Corporation, the National TV Drama Production Center and the National Film and Television Department, is still one of the most powerful production organizations in my country.

Several private TV drama production companies with high brand recognition in the industry only account for about 10% of the market share together.

So don’t think that companies in the industry will have much influence on the market. The official departments still have the final say in TV dramas.

"There is great potential in the TV drama industry. This year's transaction volume is estimated to reach around 60 billion."

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Changtian spoke with emotion.

“Well, the market is gradually maturing, and management policies are being introduced one after another. Domestic TV dramas are about to end the competition in quantity and enter the era of competition in quality.

With copyright fees increasing significantly, TV stations are also launching their own drama projects one after another, and competition in the TV drama market is about to become fierce.

Gu Wei talked eloquently, but Wang Changtian was a little surprised.

"I didn't expect Director Gu to know so much about TV dramas. I thought big directors only cared about the movie market."

"Haha, movies and TV series are the two legs of the cultural industry, neither of which can be missing."

A while ago, Gu Wei and Wang Chen had talked several times. As the market prospers, the copyrights that Xingchen Film and Television had purchased in the past will be produced into scripts and filmed one after another.

This is especially true with the rise of online novels in recent years, and this is especially true with regard to filming and adaptation.

.........

Han Sanping did not fool Gu Wei, and the next day, "Alone on the Beach at Night" successfully passed the review of the General Administration.

It only took one week from submission to approval. This is the treatment of big directors. As long as it does not violate the principles, few people will hold on to it. After all, the older generation are also retiring one after another.

Xingchen Film and Television Company also announced the specific content through Weibo.

"On the Beach at Night Alone": art film.

Director: Gu Wei.

Screenwriter: Gu Wei.

Starring: Liu Yifei.

Supporting role: Su Chang.

Producer: Xingchen Films Company.

Other cast members: Tentative.

The movie tells a story about cyber violence, betrayal, and despair, which is more in the category of art film.

"Sure enough, Director Gu opened an art film specifically for Yifei."

"Liu Yifei and Su Chang are partnering up. I'm looking forward to it."

"There's only the female lead, what about the male lead?"

"I heard it's a movie with only a female lead, and the rest are supporting roles."

As soon as the news came out, netizens were excited. This movie has most of the elements that an art film should have. Although there are some novel elements, they do not have much impact.

Other female stars in the circle have completely given up, especially the "Four Dans" and "Two Bings". Even though Liu Yifei is more famous than them internationally, no one would be willing to play a supporting role to Liu Yifei.

However, some less famous actors have gone to Xingchen Film and Television to consult about movie matters.

They are not big names, so what's wrong with playing a supporting role? Others want to play the role but haven't had the chance yet.

The company will assign someone to take care of the specific matters, but Gu Wei does not plan to audition, which is bound to disappoint many people.

...

"Sister Hua, our company has received an audition invitation from the crew of The Flowers of War. There are several supporting roles available."

Ever since the announcement of the production of Zhang Yimou's new movie, Wang Jinghua has been keeping an eye on this matter. The company has too many artists and requires a lot of resources, so it cannot just focus on the works of Xingchen Film and Television.

"Only supporting roles? Where is the protagonist?" Upon hearing this, Wang Jinghua frowned.

“There is no leading role, and the auditions released are all for supporting roles.

By the way, Director Gu also has two supporting roles, and Mr. Song asked the company to send someone to try out for them."

The assistant continued.

"Got it. According to the requirements, let those who haven't joined the group try it out."

Just be a supporting role. It’s not a bad idea to be a supporting role in a movie directed by a big director.

"Okay, Miss Hua."

The assistant was about to leave when he heard Wang Jinghua continue, "Well, notify the artists who are already in the crew but are about to finish filming, and they can take leave to go over."

When saying this, Wang Jinghua couldn't help but think of Tong Liya who was filming "The Big Robbery" in Shanghai. She had been the leading lady in two consecutive works. She certainly didn't believe that there was no reason.

"Well, tell Yaya in Shanghai to take two days off and try out both The Flowers of War and Director Gu's film."

Having been in the circle for so many years, Wang Jinghua is well versed in the ways of the world. She knows exactly who has potential and who has someone behind them.

In the circle, another big-budget movie announced the latest news.

The "Legend of White Snake", which had been in preparation for more than half a year, held a media meeting in the capital.

"We estimate that the investment in this film will be as high as 200 million yuan, and most of the funds will be used in the post-production of special effects."

When asked whether he would choose Xingchen Film and Television Company to be responsible for the post-production special effects, producer Yang Zi smiled slightly and handed the microphone to the director Cheng Xiaodong next to him, who thought for a moment.

“This film will be shot in all directions using land, water and air.

In terms of special effects, we will hire top special effects teams from the United States and South Korea at a high price to create the ultimate audio-visual effects.”

The reporter was not surprised to hear this answer. Although Star Film and Television Company is currently the top special effects company in China, in their eyes, there is still a gap between them and Hollywood companies.

"The focus is on the major events such as the flooding of Jinshan Temple, the battle with the snow demon, and the farewell at Leifeng Pagoda..."

"The female lead has been confirmed, and will be played by Wong Shing Yi, and the male lead is also Hong Kong star Raymond Lam..."

After talking about the special effects, the topic returned to the plot of the movie.

Time comes on the 15th.

The domestic box office of "Frozen" has exceeded 5 million yuan and is rapidly heading towards 6 million yuan.

Judging from the current daily box office, it is only a matter of time before it reaches 7 million.

The headlines of major domestic news pages are all about "Frozen".

According to the latest data, "Frozen" has accumulated global box office of 6 million US dollars, of which North America has exceeded 2.3 million US dollars and it has also reached 3.7 million US dollars.

News from Hollywood: According to analysis by major companies, if nothing unexpected happens, the global box office of "Frozen" will soon exceed 10 billion US dollars.

First of all, the North American market was booming when the movie was first released.

Secondly, during the mid-term of the release period, the domestic and overseas market box office continued to rise.

Finally, "Frozen" landed in South Korea and the island country two days ago. The market is currently continuing to be hot and the number of moviegoers is increasing rapidly.

In addition, the film crew will also land in 27 countries and regions including Russia and Brazil in the near future.

"Predict, can Frozen surpass Toy Story 3 and become the highest-grossing animated film in film history?"

A netizen posted a message, which quickly sparked discussion among netizens.

"Judging from the box office right now, there is great hope."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be a big problem. The box office has exceeded 6 million yuan, and there are still many countries that haven't released it yet."

The messages of congratulations never stopped from morning to night.

In China, many people did not have Gu Wei’s contact information, so they sent their congratulations to Song Ge.

Overseas, many actors and companies who had worked with Gu Wei before called him personally to congratulate him.

Leonardo: "Gu, the movie is very good. I will continue to recommend it to my fans."

Matt Damon: "It's a very touching movie. I've taken my daughter to see it three times, haha."

Will Smith: "Man, I am once again shocked by your talent. Believe me, you can handle all kinds of movies."

Christopher Nolan: "Congratulations, my friend, on creating another classic movie."

Cameron: "Gu, I have to say that you do have a unique understanding of the role of 3D technology. I am looking forward to the remake of Titanic."

The head of Warner Bros. said: "Gu, congratulations, there is no problem for the movie box office to exceed 1 billion.

Oh, by the way, the post-production of "2012" is going smoothly, and it won't be long before this classic blockbuster will meet the audience."

There were many people who came to congratulate him, all of them were well-known Hollywood stars and top directors. Gu Wei had to chat with them one by one to thank them for their congratulations.
