Chapter 483 Nine movies?

Originally, Mango TV was the dominant force in terms of hit summer dramas.

However, the above entertainment restriction order has imposed strict regulations on variety entertainment programs on local satellite TV stations. Mango TV has become the hardest hit area, and many variety shows have been cancelled.

By August, more detailed and standardized regulations were introduced.

Whether it is a person or a corporate organization, once the protagonist's halo is lost, bad things often follow.

It would be fine if entertainment programs were cancelled one after another, but another pillar of Mango TV, the "Golden Eagle Theater", also suffered a Waterloo in collecting videos.
The ratings of "Palace Lock and Beads Curtain" at the beginning of the year started high but ended low, and its reputation continued to decline.

However, this was just the beginning of bad luck. The subsequent dramas were worse than the previous ones, and the average ratings dropped from 2.3 points for "Palace Lock and Bead Curtain" to around 1 point. It was really like adding insult to injury.

Mango TV is in a precarious situation, and the only thing that can threaten the ratings of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Mystical Ancient City" is "Love Apartment 3".

However, the reputation of this film is not as good as its predecessor. Many netizens commented that it is not as funny as the first two seasons, and there is not even a single funny moment in the entire series.

Coupled with the controversial issue of plagiarism, the ratings were sluggish all the way, with the ratings of only 1.07 in the finale, which is also a typical example of starting high and ending low.

The opponent was not strong enough, but the actor himself was very competitive. This summer, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is really popular, it is a real kind of popularity.

With the meticulous production of Xingchen Film and Television Company and the unintentional support of its peers, the first round of broadcasting of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was successfully completed.

At the end of the film, there is a thought left behind, which has attracted much attention among netizens and has become a hot topic.

When the finale is released, the ratings will be released. When "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was broadcast on Zhejiang TV, the ratings on the city network exceeded 3, reaching an astonishing 3.27, while the ratings of the three satellite TV stations in the capital, Sichuan and Shandong provinces that jointly broadcast it during the same period were also around 3 points.

The end of the plot already made netizens want to complain, and the fact that director Kong Sheng intentionally left a foreshadowing for the subsequent series made netizens discuss it hotly and give continuous praise.

There is a will but no power to perceive: "It's a conscientious drama, the special effects are amazing, it's the pinnacle of domestic dramas."

In progress ing: "The key is that the rhythm is tight and not dragged out, unlike some dramas that are so long-winded that even a trivial matter can take several episodes to tell."

Qianyang Qianxia: "Why only 30 episodes? A lot of the plots in the original novel were just glossed over without being explained in detail."

Bloodstained Sky00: "Save money for special effects!"

Williams Banks: “The special effects are awesome!”

Ghost City: "The most important thing is, when will the second season be released? Please make sure the second season is online!"

"There will definitely be a second season of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", but we have to wait for the schedule of the main creative staff." In response to the expectations of netizens, the official Weibo of Xingchen Film and Television Company updated the latest developments.

……

There is a lot of gossip in the entertainment industry, and a large amount of material is produced every day, but Tangren Film and Television Company is always involved.

Many netizens online have said that this company is toxic and that actors from other companies who work with them will sooner or later fall out.

As expected, after Hu Ge announced his departure from Tangren Film and Television, another person has fallen out with him.

Last month, when "Xuan-Yuan Sword" was being promoted, Tang Yan was nowhere to be seen.

Now, after a series of follow-up and undercover investigations, the reporters finally figured out the whole story.

Cai Yinong is truly a talented person. When she started filming this TV series, she used the gimmick of the female lead to trick Tang Yan into signing the "Xuan-Yuan Sword".

As a result, after the TV series was released, Tang Yan discovered that a large number of her scenes had been cut, and she was directly transformed from the leading actress to a minor supporting role.

The main shots were all focused on Liu Shishi and Nazha, and Tang Yan was promoting the two actresses from Tangren.

After the incident, Tang Yan refused to participate in all Tangren’s TV drama promotion activities, and the relationship broke off directly.

Later, after Tang Yan's contract with Orange Sky expired, he chose to leave Orange Sky and set up his own studio.

In subsequent interviews, he did not deny the issue, and Tangren also remained silent, which confirmed the online revelations and the two sides broke up completely.

Immediately afterwards, fans of Tangren Film and Television began to organize an attack on Tang Yan online, saying all kinds of nasty things and belittling him into being worthless.

Without the protection of the Orange Sky brand, Tang Yan could not withstand the online violence. For a while, the Internet was full of negative information about Tang Yan.

It can be seen that Cai Yinong also wanted to establish her authority. She had no way to stop Hu Ge from joining the Xingchen Film and Television Company, but she had been holding a grudge in her heart. Now that she had the chance, she would naturally not let Tang Yan go.

.........

It is September now, and the much-anticipated National Day holiday is not far away.

All major film and television companies and directors with movies released in the circle have begun large-scale publicity and promotion activities.

Led by Huayi Company's "Tai Chi 1: From Zero", many movies including "Sad Fairy Tale", "Double Exposure", "Dangerous Liaisons" and so on are being hyped and increasing their popularity.

Among them, Huayi Company was the most high-profile. After successfully being shortlisted for this year's Venice Film Festival, Wang Zhonglei specially held a media conference for this purpose, saying that "Tai Chi 1" will meet everyone at the end of the month, so stay tuned.

It has to be said that this move has really increased the popularity of this movie, and many fans have expressed their anticipation for Yang Nenmo's performance.

In addition to "Tai Chi 1", "Double Exposure" jointly produced by Emei Film Group and Guangdong Runshi Audio and Video Production Co., Ltd., and "Dangerous Liaisons" produced by Zhongbo Media Co., Ltd. have also attracted much attention.

The former is starred by Fan Binbin and Feng Shaofeng, while the latter is starred by Zhang Ziyi, South Korean superstar Jang Dong-gun, and Zhang Baizhi from Hong Kong. In terms of popularity, actors, and gimmicks, the three movies are somewhat on par, with the least popular being Guangguang's "Sad Fairy Tale".

Apart from Liu Shishi's fans who are promoting this movie to their own advantage, not many people in the industry are optimistic about the box office performance of this movie.

Not to mention other companies, even Wang Changtian privately regretted using Tangren's actors as the protagonists.

The truth is that Tangren's reputation on the Internet has been too bad recently. Every time they collaborate with someone, they fall out. First there was Yang Mi, and the two sides have never had any contact with each other again. Now there is Tang Yan, who is being attacked crazily by Tangren's internet army.

No matter how Wang Changtian looked at this method, he felt that Cai Yinong was not someone who could accomplish great things, and that he was a bit petty.

Some people may say that this method is a normal phenomenon in the entertainment industry. Guangguang, Bona, and many other big companies in the industry have used it, so there is nothing to be surprised about.

But there is a difference between promoting a movie and destroying a person privately.

……

"Xingchen Film and Television Company, is it suspected that they are submitting a new movie script for review?"

When this news came out, people in the industry were somewhat skeptical.

Although the quality of Star Films' films is guaranteed, based on previous practices, they can only make a few films a year.

Ning Hao, Lu Yang, and even Wuershan are not prolific directors, and each one of them is more slow than the other when it comes to making a movie.

Especially Lu Yang, it has been a year since the project of "The Blade Strikes" was launched, and the release date is still a mystery.

Subsequently, the General Administration announced that a script had indeed been submitted for review, but it was still under review and the specific details could not be disclosed.

Unconsciously, people from major film and television companies in the industry suddenly discovered that starting this year, Xingchen Film and Television Company has approved many more film projects.

"The Breakup Master", invested by Xingchen Films and directed by Deng Chao, was completed last month. According to information revealed by the producer, the post-production editing is almost completed.

Needless to say, "Lost in Thailand" was scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday, and Xu Zheng has been busy ever since.

"Special Identity" is still being filmed, and according to interviews by media reporters, most of the filming has been completed.

"Parasite" had just started filming, and many of the main creative staff led by Zhang Yimou seemed to have disappeared. Everyone ate and lived on the crew, and did not accept interviews from reporters or visits from people in the circle.

"Beijing Meets Seattle" is also in the process of casting, and Tong Liya's performance as the female lead also made headlines.

"The Wandering Earth" has also entered a critical moment. Gu Wei took time out of his busy schedule and said that the film will be completed before National Day.

Now, everyone naturally guessed that Ning Hao would be responsible for directing the new script, because no one else had the time.

In addition, there is the movie "New World" which has just been confirmed in South Korea, the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" project revealed by Hollywood Warner, and the cooperation with Gu Wei that Leonardo mentioned intentionally or unintentionally.

After a careful count, we found that from the end of this year to next year, Xingchen Film and Television Company and Gu Wei will be involved in as many as nine projects.

"Isn't it said that domestic films have poor box office performance? Why is it that Xingchen Films is releasing one film after another?" Many people have this doubt.

In the crew of "The Wandering Earth", Gu Wei was discussing the company's next project with Song Ge.

"Investment in movies is still a little insufficient. The big Hollywood studios shoot dozens of films a year. I don't ask to reach that scale, but at least 10 films a year is a must."

"Director Gu, we have enough scripts and funds, but we lack a director. We can't just arrange for someone to shoot it casually." Song Ge originally thought that the company had taken big steps, but after learning about Gu Wei's ideas, he found that he was still conservative.

“If there aren’t enough directors, we’ll go find some, and companies with good scripts will give priority to investment.

I recently found a good talent in the crew, and I think he can be independent with a little training." Gu Wei gave his idea, and Song Ge nodded while listening.

"Who is it?" Song Ge asked directly after hearing that there was an unexpected surprise.

"He graduated from Beijing Film Academy, his name is Guo Fan, he is in charge of a group in the crew, he does a great job and is very talented."

...

Whenever the company has a new movie coming out, there will be many calls from people in the circle.

Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning and others were the ones who reacted the fastest.

He started by asking about specific matters regarding the film, and was almost asking directly whether he needed funding.

"As for the investment for Ning Hao's new movie, ask Song Ge."

After Gu Wei replied, he simply chose not to answer other people's calls.

Song Ge posted the latest news directly on the company's official Weibo.

It is a commercial film directed by Ning Hao, with a large investment, and will invite many big stars in the circle to star in it.

The media reporters rushed to block Ning Hao like a cat smelling fish.
