Chapter 444, Vanity Fair Vanity

Fair is a competition arena

The seniors occupy 80% of the resources, and the wealthy and noble circles occupy 80% of the resources, such as the Beijing circle, CCTV circle, Hong Kong circle, and the newly emerging Shanghai circle.

In fact, there are far more powerful figures in China, but the ones in other places are too small. For example, the ones in the northeast have been cultivating the field after Zhao Benshan faded out of the sketch direction, and they will rise one day in the future. But even if they rise, can his figure compare with those ones?

Can it compare to Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai? Still not . It is difficult for latecomers to challenge the former.

Just like it is difficult for the Chinese film and television industry to challenge Hollywood's status, it is also difficult for the upper circles to be shaken by the lower circles.

Looking around the world, this standard can be followed.

Even though these circles are 'old', they can still control the most resources. "I admire your previous style, but now it's enough. You have to choose between dignity and reality."

Jiang Wen advised earnestly.

He always thought that the reason why Li Yun insisted on not joining any fixed circle was probably because of dignity? Pride? Something like that.

Jiang Wen also understands this way of survival, so he can understand this way of survival.

It is enough to be able to come here.

Jiang Wen, who was once rebellious, has now completely become an integrated part of the Beijing circle.

“I know, but I have my reasons.”

Li Yun said slowly.

Joining a circle is very fatal to oneself. Fatal in the physical sense.

There is no way to arbitrarily choose your own projects, or choose the focus of the movies and TV series you shoot, so you can only play "resource exchange" in the circle.

Then it really becomes a greasy thing. The investors and "friends" stuff people in. The filming of movies is not for good works, but for the personal connections in the circle and the flow of interests.

Art has become such a thing. As a person in the film and television industry, Li Yun is unwilling to do so.

As a person who wanted to survive, Li Yun was unwilling to do so.

"So, I'm sorry."

"Well I know you'll answer that."

Jiang Wen patted Li Yun on the shoulder and smiled, "But it doesn't matter. With your ability, you can always make a living."

Screenwriter, director, actor.

Thousands of words, Jiang Wenhua can be summed up in one sentence.

"You were born to do this."

At this moment, on the other side of the courtyard in the capital.

Those gathered here are all children of the "big compounds", and are also the core of the Beijing circle. They get together for a few days every month.

It is also for exchanging resources, consulting, and talking about love and romance.

"That Li Yun, he doesn't want to join our Beijing circle? What a pity." At this moment, Zhang Mouzi expressed his "pity" that the young talent was unwilling to come into his circle.

"Yes! He is really talented. If he is willing to come, I am willing to let him shoot the script of "Old Cannon". I can be the actor instead of the director."

Ma Xiaogang slapped his thigh, he really felt it was a pity.

He admired Li Yun's talent very much. He felt eager to make money for people who possessed such talent.

"People look down on us in the Beijing circle, what can we do? He got ahead by relying on the resources of our Beijing circle."

Zhang Mouzi said calmly: "Zi is a wolf from Zhongshan. He becomes rampant when he succeeds. Don't feel sorry for him. Even if he is willing to join us this time, he can defect in the future. This is his nature."

"Okay, the operation of the circle does not rely on a certain person. Even if Li Mo is now closer to CCTV, does it have any impact on us? His role model of the times has become a castle in the air."

At this time, Lu Haishi pondered.

The leader of the "Seven-Man Group" in the Beijing Circle He doesn't care about Li Yun's personal affairs - no matter how talented a person is, there is a limit.

It's impossible for him to suppress the entire entertainment industry with just a movie or a TV series.

As long as he can't do this, his existence is not something that Lu Haishi, who holds key resources, needs to pay too much attention to.

Resources are more important than talents.

This is his principle, and it is precisely because of this principle that the Beijing circle has been able to grow to such a large scale.

"Since he's not coming, there's nothing to say."

At this moment, Zhang Mouzi is looking at the "boss" of the resource circle.

Li Yun’s matter was just a trivial matter in today’s meeting.

At least it's insignificant in words.

The important thing today is to consider the next plans, such as cooperation between the Beijing circle and the Hollywood circle.

The Great Wall and Mulan.

Zhang Mouzi is the main operator of these resources.

"Okay, let's talk about these things another day. I'm going home to watch some TV series." At this time, Lu Haishi smiled slightly.

"You still have such a good taste?" Ma Xiaogang looked at Lu Haishi. He didn't expect that this boss had such a good taste.

“Although I have retired to the second line, I am still engaged in artistic work after all, and there will always be works that I like and am interested in.”

For an old guy like Lu Haishi, there is one work that is full of infinite charm.

That is the heroic epic of the Three Kingdoms period.

That is, no matter what position I reach, I will still like this work as always.

He is good looking and inspiring.

It is something that all men in Lu Haishi's family, from childhood to adulthood, like.

Like the works as always.

This is an excellent work that has been polished by the baptism of time.

The heroic epic of the four great classics.

Compared to the film industry, the TV drama industry does not receive as much attention, although Lu Haishi and others also made their fortune from the TV drama The Story of the Editorial Department.

Only when energy is limited.

The real money and influence of movie box office are probably still better.

"The New Three Kingdoms, I don't know what kind of results they can achieve this time."

"I heard that the Shanghai entertainment industry has also invested heavily this time, creating two TV series with female protagonists."

Lu Haishi said this time.

For these old Beijing people, the composition of the Shanghai circle is not much different from the nouveau riche. It’s just that the nouveau riche of that time found a different path, a path that they had previously disdained to take.

Achieved results.

It also makes people take notice.

Today, the Shanghai circle has not yet entered the core film industry, but it has its own place in TV dramas.

Especially for younger audiences.

For female audiences.

It basically means taking away a large portion of the ratings.

This is also a very interesting place.

The demand for TV dramas among male audiences is decreasing, but the demand among female audiences is increasing.

The Shanghai circle has grasped this point and has grasped the pulse of the times.

And it is impossible for all the few male audiences to be captured by the New Three Kingdoms.

What's more, this time the new Three Kingdoms is not without completely comparable opponents.

At this moment in the Magic City.

Wang Jinghua was drinking tea with Tang Min. This time, it was Wang Jinghua who took the initiative to find Tang Min.

Not in a private capacity, but in a public-to-public capacity.

Today, the Shanghai circle is getting bigger and bigger in terms of TV dramas, and Tang Min, as the head of Tangren and the head of the Shanghai circle, also has a vague feeling of becoming a giant.

The reason she came this time was actually to discuss matters related to the TV series.

Opportunities for win-win cooperation.

Tang Min certainly welcomed this; after all, this was not their first collaboration.

The male lead of "Palace" is from the Beijing circle.

"CCTV is old, and a little greasy. It feels like it's controlled by a bunch of old-timers, and the works it produces are all outdated."

At this time, Wang Jinghua made sharp comments on the CCTV circle.

A circle that prides itself on inheritance and orthodoxy.

Photographed works.

In fact, there is a feeling of decadence.

Maybe they don't feel that way themselves.

But as an observer, from Wang Jinghua's perspective, the works from the CCTV circle are not as vital as those from the Shanghai circle.

The feeling that young audiences like is something that no other can match . "An old dog still has three teeth. I am looking forward to the performance of the new Three Kingdoms. However, since ancient times, remakes have inevitably been evaluated with a bias towards the past and against the present, and it is difficult to be truly judged fairly."

Tang Min smiled slightly at this time.

Things like remakes are themselves an attempt to rely on old achievements.

Time and again, the leftovers from the past are taken out.

This in itself is not such a good thing.

At least for one circle.

This is not such a good thing.

This means that new creativity is missing.

Therefore, in the Shanghai circle, Tang Min set a rule for himself, which is not to remake works that have already been filmed.

It is one thing to respect the past and despise the present, but new things can never replace old memories.

The first time you meet someone is always the best.

Even if a work may have more or less flaws when it is first seen, since the advent of television as a medium, there has never been a time when a remake beats the original work.

For example, for Jin Yong's dramas that have been filmed for a long time, what remains in people's minds are mostly the original versions.

Like Zhang Da Hu Zi, he can find different tracks to study.

There are always only a few people who can create different advantages.

Most remakes will only receive reviews that are worse than the previous one.

This is common sense, this is the truth.

However, although the theme of the Three Kingdoms is a remake, this work has an unusually long vitality, which means that the soul of this work is very tenacious.

It can withstand the test of a remake.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It will also get quite a lot of ratings this time, but the number of male viewers will be less.

This time the ratings.

After all, it will only be inferior to these two works of mine.

However, Tang Min had to admit that this kind of work is easier to win awards, but that’s all.

And at this time.

Wang Jinghua suddenly felt emotional again.

"This time, the New Three Kingdoms has suffered a lot. The choice of roles was controversial, and it was also a remake of a work with a Douban score of 9.1."

"I feel that neither of your two TV series can deal them a fatal blow. But I know that there is a work that can deal them a fatal blow."

It is not also a work from CCTV.

"Journey to the West".

The rebroadcast of Journey to the West came unexpectedly.

His target audience and coverage points have some slight overlap with the Three Kingdoms, but not much.

Teenagers will like Journey to the West more.

The middle-aged and middle-aged people prefer the Three Kingdoms themes.

This is the subject matter preference found in surveys conducted in many places.

In TV dramas targeting middle-aged and middle-aged people, the female characters are mostly elegant and generous, while in TV dramas targeting teenagers as the audience, young, beautiful and pure girls are mostly used.

Appearance, temperament, and acting skills of the top level.

Many elements are targeted at audiences in different fields.

This time, the new Three Kingdoms is targeting male audiences.

Or middle-aged and elderly male audiences.

The target audience has already been determined.

But now Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared, and even Liu Xiao Ling Tong, who is also one of the four great classics, Journey to the West, came out to promote this TV series.

It feels like rehashing old stuff.

In fact, this is just a kind of rehashing old stuff, but the old stuff of Journey to the West can be continued to be rehashed and can be rehashed in different ways.

Who says the new is better than the old? Journey to the West is an example. No matter what version, it is not as good as the CCTV version of Journey to the West by Liu Xiao Ling Tong.

No matter what version it is. Even other TV series only dare to adapt it and use this skin to do other things. For example, the adaptation of "A Chinese Odyssey" is a very good example.

CCTV would never do such a thing as letting old works impact new works.

It shouldn't have happened.

"The Four Great Classics should never be remade. Remaking such an absolutely classic old work would only insult the work."

The one who was speaking at this time was Teacher Liu.

Actors represented by him.

He has been eating one Monkey King all his life. He doesn't want a second Monkey King to replace him. Parody is not nonsense, adaptation is not random creation, these are the wise sayings he believes in.

The truth of trust.

As for why Sun Wukong is related to the Three Kingdoms, it is of course the Four Great Classical Novels.

The New Three Kingdoms is like a gap.

If the New Romance of the Three Kingdoms is successful, will there be a new Journey to the West, a new Water Margin, and a new Dream of the Red Chamber? No, no.

The success of new things will inevitably replace the old things. This is an eternal truth.

It is a principle that is always implemented.

He was very concerned and very scared.

I am terrified that this will happen to me.

So he didn't allow it.

Others have many reasons and reasons.

There are so many reasons.

For example, there are different factions within CCTV.

Everyone has their own interests.

Some people hope that a new Three Kingdoms will be born because it represents new things and new interests.

The main creators of the old Three Kingdoms were not in a hurry, but the others of the Four Great Classics became anxious.

And the reason is nothing more than a joke, not nonsense.

Classics should not be desecrated, these kind of clichés.

But in fact, some people think that this makes sense. Now, rebroadcasting old classics every year can bring stable profits and stable ratings.

Why must a new version be made? The success of the old classic is already something that people envy, so why not eat something good and have to eat something stinky?

It's unreasonable and makes no sense.

"CCTV's conservatives are so conservative that it's a bit disgusting. They actually think that living off past achievements is something to be proud of. When did our CCTV circle become so degenerate?"

Far away on the other side, Lu Zhengguang, the head of the Aerospace Force Art Troupe, was very disappointed with the current situation.

Replaying Journey to the West, this is obviously not a problem.

This TV series is rebroadcast every year.

Moreover, each channel has a quota for rebroadcasting, so it can be said that as long as you watch TV, you can basically watch Journey to the West all year round.

But what is disappointing is that the internal attitude towards this is so incomprehensible.

Basically, it is to hinder the birth of new things.

Allowing conservative interests to perpetuate. How sad and ridiculous.

It has become a fact that the old man who is still alive is a thief. Lu Zhengguang is very fortunate.

Fortunately, Li Yun was not forced into this circle, and fortunately, he was not forced to integrate.

I used to think he was too arrogant because he didn’t mix with the circle.

It now seems that even if you join these circles of old but immortal people, there is no guarantee that you will have much chance of making a breakthrough.

At this moment, Lu Zhengguang murmured.

"No destruction, no construction, is it really possible?" - The promotion of the New Three Kingdoms has been going on for some time.

Gao Xinxin was very tired during this period.

After all, the promotion of a TV series is not that simple.

However, what made Gao Xinxin feel uncomfortable was that he was suddenly informed after the promotion had been going on for a period of time.

Yes, just a notification.

Tell him this happened.

There is no room for maneuver.

Gao Xinxin felt ridiculous. I worked hard for the circle, gained ten pounds due to overwork, and my hair turned white at the ends. I worked day and night and worked hard to complete this work, but in the end, I was stabbed in the back by my own circle.

"The birth of new things will inevitably represent the demise of old things. They struggle because of their interests and they are unwilling to let go."

At this time, Gao Xinxin's partner, producer Yang Xiaoming, said what was natural: "This is also what I thought of at the beginning, but I didn't expect it was not the old Three Kingdoms group."

"Of course, if our new Three Kingdoms is bad, the backlash from the veterans will be huge."

"I'm not afraid of that. If I'm bad, I'm willing to be condemned, but it's a bit unreasonable to put obstacles in our way."

Gao Xinxin can accept being crushed by ratings and being crushed by word of mouth, but the only thing she cannot accept is being held back secretly like this.

But just like Yang Xiaoming said.

Maybe.

to the final deciding factor.

It's about quality.

Gao Xinxin calmed herself down.

Take a deep breath.

"Then let's meet the heroes of the Three Kingdoms. A brand new Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
