In the ward.

Zhang Yuan mentioned the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in which he starred.

So far, he has only starred in two TV series.

"The Untold Story" and "The Chinese Paladin".

"The Untold Story" was just aired in the past two months, and was broadcast on the prime time of the Imperial Capital Channel 2 and the Shanghai Dragon TV.

There's no need to talk about the quality of this film. It takes a lot of effort to make this film, so how can it be bad?

But the problem is that quality does not represent ratings.

The problem with this film is that the subject matter is too heavy and dark.

Ordinary people work a day and then turn on the TV to watch a TV series.

I had intended to use this to relax.

But after reading it, I feel even more jade...

Some people even doubt their own lives. After all, the world of "The Untold Story" is so damn dark!

In addition, apart from the two "real-looking" leading actors Zhang Yuan and Shu Chang, the rest of the actors are basically veteran actors with great acting skills.

It is difficult for martial arts dramas to carry the ratings without enough handsome men and beautiful women, especially without top male and female actors.

"The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" stars Gao Yuanyuan, Alyssa Chia, Chen Zihan, and Su Youpeng.

"Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" stars Liu Tao, Cheng Hao, and Lin Zhiying.

Previous films such as "Swordsman" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also had great actors like Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun leading the way.

Moreover, among Jin Yong's works, "The Untold Story" and "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" have always been very special.

Those who like it regard it as a masterpiece, while those who don’t like it think it is garbage. It is unlike the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" trilogy, which has mostly positive reputation.

Therefore, the ratings of "The Untold Story" can only be described as mediocre, and it has absolutely no ability to become a big hit.

Of course, Zhang Yuan never intended to become famous through this drama from the beginning, he just wanted to increase a little popularity for himself.

What matters is the qualifications and experience of starring in a play.

If he wanted to significantly increase his popularity and wealth, he had to rely on his own careful planning and repeated micro-management to win "The Chinese Paladin".

20 years later, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is still talked about by people.

The images of several protagonists in the film have become the memories of a generation.

Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Anu, Tang Yu Xiaobao, and even the Moon Worshiper, have all become one of the most important labels for an actor.

Every time the protagonists meet again at an awards ceremony, it brings back a wave of memories for a large number of old audiences.

This shows its great influence.

What the audience misses is this TV series, these actors and characters, and even more so, themselves who used to sit in front of the TV and watch the show.

But the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was unlucky because it took more than three years after filming to be released, missing the best period of popularity.

But now that Zhang Yuan is here, he naturally cannot let his hard work be treated coldly like in his previous life.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy..." Feng Xiaogang muttered and looked at the people around him.

None of these middle-aged people knew.

"It was taken by Sugar Man."

"Oh..." Wang Zhonglei nodded. Huayi also wanted to make a big move into the field of TV dramas, and he was very familiar with sugar men.

"It's like this. It was unfortunate that this film was made right after it was finished when the Radio, Film and Television Bureau issued the "Travel Restriction Order."

"Although this is a TV series, not a TV show about games and games."

“But this movie is adapted from a video game.”

“So most TV stations don’t dare to broadcast it.”

“I’m afraid of getting into trouble.”

hiss……

Even Feng Xiaogang took a breath when he heard the word "radio and television".

I can’t do it, I really can’t do it. The only way to live like this is to pretend to be a grandson.

Not to mention him, Hua Yi has to put on a smile whenever he sees the Radio and Television Bureau. This is the strength of the supervisory authority.

"Uh!" Director Feng coughed lightly, then put on a fake smile to ease the embarrassment and glanced at Zhang Guoli.

You have a good relationship with him and he agrees to everything without asking any questions.

Now, you want to confront the radio and television?
"Zhang Yuan, other things are easy to deal with, but if it's related to radio and television, we can help you with consultation, but it's very difficult."

This is already a very polite statement, and is almost the same as a refusal.

Zhang Yuan knew this result would happen, so he told half of the story about "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and kept the other half hidden.

When asking someone for help, you should not give them a sweet treat first.

So he kept holding back on his ultimate move.

After the show is over, I will talk about the other half.

Zhang Yuan smiled and changed the subject: "Oh, right."

"Director Feng, I've been in the hospital these days, so I have nothing to do."

"I suddenly remembered something."

"In our TV series 'A World Without Thieves', there is a plot that says that sending 60,000 yuan costs 600 yuan in postage, which is enough to buy a donkey in my hometown."

"Yes." Director Feng replied immediately, but I didn't understand why he brought this up.

"I've gone to the post office to send money before, and the postal charges don't seem to be like this."

"For cash mail sent by post, the upper limit for a single transaction is 50,000 yuan, and the upper limit for the handling fee is 50 yuan."

"The 60,000 yuan that Sha Gen had in that movie could be sent in two batches at most, and the total postage would only be 100 yuan at most."

"It's six times the 600 yuan mentioned in the movie."

"Ah?" Director Feng looked hesitant. "That's not right. I went to the post office to ask before, and they said the maximum single order is 5,000 yuan, and the handling fee is 50 yuan. So the 60,000 yuan has to be divided into 12 orders, and the postage is 600 yuan."

Zhang Yuan lowered his voice and said seriously, "Some small post offices in some places will deliberately lower the limit to earn more postage."

"Oh!" After hearing this, everyone felt that this made sense.

After all, where there are people, there is the underworld, and where there is the underworld, there are all kinds of endless ways to make money.

"If China Post finds this to be a sore spot after the movie airs..."

The corners of Feng Xiaogang's mouth twitched.

To some extent, the postal service is even more difficult to deal with than the radio and television.

Besides, "A World Without Thieves" was originally planned to be broadcast at the end of the year, which is the time when the majority of people are sending money back home.

If the mistakes in the film delay the postal service...

Wang Zhonglei's face turned blue.

Isn't this going to cause trouble for us Huayi?

"Xiaogang, is this true?" Xiao Wang turned around and asked.

"I will verify it when I get back. If it is true, I will reshoot and modify this part."

"Hurry up, don't make this kind of mistake."

Wang Zhonglei looked at Zhang Yuan who was staring at Wu Qing.

"You're still so mentally alert despite having a concussion?"

"It's because he's thoughtful."

"Lying in bed also helped us solve a big problem in advance."

"Well, my trip was not in vain, and my praise for him was not in vain."

[Received thanks from Wang Zhonglei, basketball basics +1! ]

[Received thanks from Feng Xiaogang, +1 for observing his words and expressions! ]

Seeing that both of them gave their attributes, Zhang Yuan knew that the time was almost right, so he turned the topic back to "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"By the way, I haven't finished talking about the TV series I starred in just now."

"In fact, that film has already been broadcast on Taiwan's Duojia TV station, and the effect is quite good, with the best ratings in the same time period."

"The Taiwan Strait is not under the jurisdiction of the mainland, so it can be broadcast naturally." Director Feng continued.

"It's also available in the mainland. Both Shancheng TV's movie channel and Modu TV's TV drama channel have broadcast it."

“The average ratings were just shy of 12%.”

"what!"

Feng Xiaogang's face changed color when he heard that two local TV stations in China had already broadcast the program.

It’s different if there’s a precedent and it can be broadcast!

"Even if the average ratings of local stations are generally high, 12% is still very good." Xiao Wang also spoke at this time.

"Xiao Gang, since the quality is good and it has been broadcast by a local station, is it possible to contact the provincial TV station?"

"It's difficult. The travel restriction order has only been issued for less than a year, and few provincial TV stations dare to 'touch the dragon's whiskers'." Feng Xiaogang said as he thought.

"But it doesn't matter if you don't get on the star list."

"At worst, we can find a few more local TV stations to broadcast it. Even if it's not as good as the provincial TV station's prime time, it can still be popular." "Besides, if there are too many local TV stations broadcasting it and it becomes popular, there is no guarantee that there will be provincial TV stations that can't wait to try it out."

"In short, creating momentum first is the most important thing."

Director Feng glanced at Wang Zhonglei. Wang Zhonglei was such a smart man that he immediately knew what was going on.

"Zhang Yuan is the lead actor in this TV series. If the movie is popular, he will be popular too."

"His popularity has benefited the two films he participated in to some extent."

“It’s a win-win situation.”

It is better to have common interests than to kneel down and beg for help.

When interests are aligned, people will come forward to help you without you having to ask.

Because helping you is helping myself.

Zhang Yuan deliberately waited until this time to ask for help in promoting the sales of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" because he saw the opportunity for the Film Association to take action.

Feng Xiaogang or Zhang Guoli and others can help alone, but the effect will be limited.

But now that the Film Association has stepped forward, and they need me to be the spearhead against the Hong Kong circle at this time, they will definitely help.

The power of the Film Association is much greater than that of one or two people in the circle, and its network of relationships is much wider!
"Okay, I will hold a meeting to discuss your demands after I return to the Film Association," said Feng Xiaogang.

Wang Zhonglei also nodded with satisfaction.

"Come, let's take a photo as a souvenir." After chatting for a while, it was time for the familiar photo session.

"Well, Director Zhou, you are good at this job, why don't you come and help?" Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand and waved.

Pingjiang Suojing, who had been watching from the side, twitched his lips.

"This guy orders me around like he's ordering a younger brother around."

"How can I be so embarrassed as a director?"

How could he not understand? He had just relied on the confidence of the Calligraphy Association to show off to Zhang Yuan.

But not long after, the bosses of the Film Association, the Chinese Music Association and Huayi surrounded him.

Calligraphy Association: I should be under the car, not here...

Although all of them speak in the media, the Calligraphy Association cannot be said to be on par with these three organizations, but it can be said to be better than nothing.

Why am I pretending to be so arrogant... Director Zhou wants to slap himself in the face.

He put on a smiling face, walked forward quickly, and patiently helped.

I originally thought that since I am also in the film and television industry, I could just establish some relationships with these people.

But now he was afraid that Zhang Yuan would make things difficult for him, so he didn't dare to introduce himself.

When he glanced at Zhang Yuan, he felt a lot of pressure.

"I have to treat Liu Shishi as my grandmother from now on..." he thought secretly.

"The relationship between Liu Shishi and Zhang Yuan is obviously unusual."

"If the girl whispers something in his ear, Zhang Yuan will explode."

"I can't afford to offend any of those people around him."

Unlike him, the remaining two presidents and vice presidents of the Calligraphy Association looked at Zhang Yuan with shining eyes.

They now wanted to go up and grab Zhang Yuan’s arm and talk.

"Please join our team!"

With such a network of contacts at such a young age, if he comes to our calligraphy association, he will definitely become a famous figure!
Wang Bozhao glanced at the two senior executives of the association who came to see him, and then looked at Zhang Yuan, who was smiling with panda eyes and cooperating with everyone in the crowd to take pictures.

"It's easy to talk to such great people."

"He was able to pull it back and forth without being humble or overbearing, and he achieved his goal."

As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly. Teacher Wang was watching the whole process and naturally understood what Zhang Yuan had just gained.

"It seems that everything seems to be indifferent to him."

Wang Bozhao recalled what happened in the ward over the past few days.

He always sighs and feels aggrieved.

However, the young man in the next bed was eating and drinking as usual, as if the incident did not happen to him.

Even if people spread rumors and slandered him on the Internet, he didn't care and was calm as if he was just watching someone else's business.

Wang Bozhao was so angry that he didn't think too much about how to deal with and resolve the matter.

Now seeing Zhang Yuan being able to please both sides, he thought.

"Hasn't this kid already figured out how to deal with this?"

He also felt that based on Zhang Yuan's personality and abilities, the solution he could come up with would probably be better than his own.

He found it strange.

Although he is older, the boy in the bed next to him who is only half his age seems to be the backbone.

When the Film Association took a group photo, Wang Bozhao was also included, after all, he is also a well-known actor.

But he always felt that he was just a companion.

……

Later that day.

[In the past few days, we have learned from newspapers and media that the crew of the TV series "Little Fish and Flowerless" caused physical harm to two actors, Zhang Yuan and Wang Bozhao, during the filming process. As colleagues in the entertainment industry, we express our strong concern about this.]

First: As colleagues in the entertainment industry, we express our support for the injured actors Zhang Yuan and Wang Bozhao.

Second: Regardless of the reason for the harm, the person who caused the harm must apologize.

third:……

……

Initiators: Wang Gang, Feng Xiaogang, Deng Jie, Liu Guoquan, Liu Wei, Li Xuejian, Li Dawei, Zhang Guoli, Zhang Tielin, Xu Fan, Liang Tian, ​​Xie Yuan, Ni Ping, Xia Gang, Ge You, Liu Xiaolingtong…

The Film Association was the first to issue an announcement.

Then came the Chinese Music Association.

【Shocked to hear that Zhang Yuan, a junior in the quyi world, was beaten and injured on the set of the TV series "Little Fish and Flowerless", all fellow quyi people expressed strong concern about this matter. 】

First: The crew must disclose the circumstances of the incident in detail and handle it publicly.

Second: Those who cause harm must be brought to justice.

third:……

……

Initiators: Liu Lanfang, Yuan Kuocheng, Shan Tianfang, Tian Lianyuan, Ma Ji, Hou Yuewen, Chang Guitian, Jiang Kun, Feng Gong, Huang Hong...

The announcement from the Chinese Musicians Association was obviously more intense than that from the Film Association.

After all, most of the middle and senior management of the Film Association come from the imperial circle, and many of them have cooperative relations with the Hong Kong circle.

In a conflict of interests, you cannot drive the other party to death. Even a cornered dog will jump over the wall.

But the Chinese Music Association doesn’t care about what you say!

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The development of our Chinese Folk Art Association is average, and folk art is relatively declining compared to film and television.

But there are still three pounds of nails in the broken boat!
None of our leaders has not seen the first generation of leaders.

We have all seen the sun, so how can we be afraid of flies in the dark corners like you?

In other words, we should not go too far in focusing on the economy now.

Thirty years ago, if the Chinese Folk Art Association hadn't written eight plays to criticize you, it would have been considered as a trick to silence you.

The next one is Hua Yi.

[Recently, our company learned from the media and the Internet that Mr. Zhang Yuan, a famous young actor who participated in the films "Kung Fu" and "A World Without Thieves" invested by our company, was attacked and injured in the crew of "Little Fish and Flower" (hereinafter referred to as the crew). Here, on behalf of Huayi Brothers Media Co., Ltd., we express our serious concern about the injury incident that occurred in the crew.]

Huayi’s question was the most concise, and Wang Bozhao’s name was not mentioned at all.

The names of two films were mentioned in the statement, which was somewhat promotional in nature.

He is indeed a businessman.

The last to arrive was the Calligraphy Association.

[Our association recently learned that Mr. Wang Bozhao, a member of the Huaxia Calligraphy Association, and Mr. Zhang Yuan, a young actor and calligraphy enthusiast, suffered serious life injuries on the set of "Little Fish and Flower". Our association advocates that the crew should give a reasonable explanation and assume the necessary legal responsibility for the incident to set the record straight]

The Calligraphy Association's statement was ambiguous, but they did deliberately mention Zhang Yuan's name and gave him the title of a calligraphy enthusiast, which was obviously an attempt to win him over.

Logically speaking, the Calligraphy Association is far away from the film and television industry and it is difficult to influence the other.

But don’t forget that many of the senior leaders of the Calligraphy Association are “imperial teachers”.

You should know that in our country, there is no leader who has bad handwriting.

Among the old men in the Calligraphy Association, many are often called by retired leaders for communication, and the people they actually come into contact with are of quite high level.

Therefore, the Calligraphy Association’s direct influence is very weak, but its indirect influence is not bad.

Three associations and a large company raising questions in succession is a big deal no matter what industry you are in.

Film crew, inside the hotel.

Those words and sentences were like sharp blades, piercing the heart of Wang Jing, who was sitting in front of the TV, stunned and sweating.

He was panicking... (End of this chapter)
