Chapter 516 Why is it like this?
In the entertainment industry, everything is business.
As experienced people, Yao Qing and Xia Bing understood all of this.
The two of them have clarified the previous "misunderstanding". At the same time, Yao Qing plans to let Xia Bing's daughter Xia Mei be the executive director of the next web drama. After accumulating some experience, Yao Qing will let Xia Mei direct a movie independently.
Xia Bing really gave a thumbs up to this arrangement.
After all, Yao Qing owns several companies and has a strong network of contacts. So, with Yao Qing's promise, it will be quite easy and smooth for Xia Mei to enter the film industry.
As for what Yao Qing said about this web drama needing Xia Bing to endorse it, there is no doubt about that.
After all, Yao Qing has helped me so much, so what can I say about supporting him? ?
Although Yao Qing was a rather lustful guy, he never regretted what he had promised, so he kept things to himself.
It was precisely because of this that Xia Bing and Yao Qingbing reconciled their past grudges.
The same thing.
In the entertainment industry, everything is about interests.
Some people can put other things aside for the sake of profit, but some people cannot.
This is Yu Xiaoshu's case.
Whether when he was a manager or now, Yu Xiaoshu has his own rules for everything.
The rules here don't just refer to the size of the fist.
There is another more important point, which is the rules.
Yu Xiaoshu has always had a clear boundary. The boundary here actually represents the rules. For Yu Xiaoshu, at any time, if you cross the boundary and exceed the border, then there will be no possibility of any cooperation.
It doesn't matter for Xia Bing, because Xia Bing never tried to trick him from the beginning to the end.
Why is the entertainment industry a circle? ?
Because you have no idea who is connected to whom.
Just like some singers and directors are relatives, some actors and actors are relatives, and some have more connections.
All of these are unknown.
Take Xia Mei for example. At present, Xia Mei is just a small figure. Even Xia Bing has not introduced his daughter so far.
Many people would probably only think that the two people have the same surname, but no one could guess that they are father and daughter.
Even Yu Xiaoshu himself was not clear about this matter.
That was exactly the case. When he saw Xia Bing attending the opening ceremony of the web drama starring his ex-wife, he was just stunned.
That’s right, Yu Xiaoshu was surprised, but not angry.
Are you kidding??
It's impossible to force everyone who knows Yao Qing to choose between the two just because Yu Xiaoshu and Yao Qing don't get along.
Besides, Xia Bing and Yao Qing have been friends for many years, but she has only just met Yu Xiaoshu.
Yu Xiaoshu doesn’t have that much nerve.
What’s more important is that it is difficult to ban someone in the entertainment industry, and it is even more difficult to make people choose between two options.
Because there are too many gangs.
Yao Qing and Xia Bing are typical members of the Imperial Capital faction. It is difficult to break them up in this circle for the time being.
But it doesn't matter.
Just take it one step at a time.
Yu Xiaoshu and Xia Bing are acquainted for the time being, and Xia Bing definitely owes him a favor. This friendship is not important for the time being, but it is hard to say what it will be like in the future.
As for Yao Qing? ?
That's not said.
Yu Xiaoshu and Yao Qing are definitely going to continue to quarrel.
An old guy and an emerging force. One is a top director and the other is a top screenwriter. Everyone can guess what level the two will reach in the future.
Yu Xiaoshu could also understand.
Unless Yao Qing divorces Ding Xiaoman next time, a fight between the two is inevitable.
Of course, this fight is different from the one on the streets. This fight may be a competition among interested parties behind the scenes.
After all, both parties are backed by big capital giants.
Yu Xiaoshu even had a vague guess that even if there was no Ding Xiaoman, or even if there was no Yao Qing, Yu Xiaoshu would definitely clash with these capitals.
The reason is simple: Yu Xiaoshu touched someone else's cake.
The capital behind Yao Qing all uses traffic to make money. Not only that, in the years when traffic capital was the craziest, Yao Qing set up several shell companies, and then with such a bet, Yao Qing can be said to have made nearly one billion yuan.
In those years, whether it was the so-called gambling agreements or the so-called box office data of film and television companies, they basically did not treat money as money.
Many times, a frivolous and bad movie can earn hundreds of millions at the box office.
Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about the movie “Three Good Men” directed by Yao Qing in 2015. The script of this movie can no longer be described as garbage. You don’t even know if it can be considered a movie.
Because "Three Good Men" has no so-called logic, it basically depends entirely on the actors to perform.
There is no way.
The actors in "Three Good Men" are quite good, with nearly a hundred actors making guest appearances. The most important thing is that each of these actors has reached their peak before.
Simply put, Yao Qing created a miracle.
That is to appeal to the nostalgia and earn box office revenue.
And we have to say that Yao Qing is really talented. He knows that he can't keep recreating his feelings, so he just keeps doing it for those few years, sometimes making several movies a year.
Some are released in theaters, and some are released online.
In short, Yao Qing may not be good at other things, but he is really good at making money and has a keen eye for the market.
Look at the directors of the same period as Yao Qing. Some of them have passed away, some are out of fashion, or even worse, have completely disappeared. But only Yao Qing and Xia Bing have remained quite strong.
But even so, Xia Bing had his share of flops, but Xia Bing was a man who knew how to reflect on himself, and he had never had two movies fail in a row. Many times, Xia Bing was a bit weird as a director of this group, because every time Xia Bing succeeded in one movie, he would think about innovation, but the innovation would result in a failure. After the failure, he would think about reflecting again, and then succeed again.
Just like that, Xia Bing experienced success, failure, success, and failure.
Xia Bing's film "No Return" was a success this time. Although the box office was far from the so-called expectations, for Xia Bing and investors, this was already quite good.
Under such circumstances, Xia Bing will definitely make another new wave.
Well, if he innovates, there's a high chance that the movie will flop.
The problem is that even Xia Bing feels that his next movie might fail. If Xia Bing feels this way, how can he bring his daughter with him? ? ?
It's totally impossible.
So in such a situation, we can say that Xia Bing definitely would not dare to support her daughter.
In this case, naturally, Xia Bing would come to support Yao Qing.
This is the first time that Yao Qing has directed a web drama. The name of the web drama is "Women Like Songs", and you can tell from the sound of it that it is a drama with a female lead.
The current external publicity is basically that this will be a phenomenal web drama, and even that this is a true example to everyone of how an urban romance drama should be filmed.
Yao Qing said in an interview: "Many urban dramas nowadays are not grounded. Not only are they not grounded, but what I cannot accept is that these urban dramas seem to be ineffective if they don't talk about love. Regardless of whether they are about people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, or even 50s, they are basically all about love, affection, cheating, beating up mistresses, and all kinds of melodrama. I personally think that such urban dramas are just fooling the audience, so this time I want to show everyone how a real web drama is shot?"
In response to this, a reporter asked Director Yao, what do you think of Yu Xiaoshu's web drama? ?
You know, the online dramas written by Yu Xiaoshu are all quite good.
Not only is it good, the web dramas written by Yu Xiaoshu are currently at the top of the list. After all, only Yu Xiaoshu's web dramas have achieved success, and they even far surpass those of others.
In such a situation, Yao Qing said that he wanted to let everyone see how a real web drama is shot? ?
how? ?
Doesn’t Yu Xiaoshu deserve a name?
Good job.
This reporter is really mean.
This is really a case of bringing up something that is not relevant to the topic.
However, Yao Qing was not angry. He first focused on Yu Xiaoshu's abilities. He really appreciated Yu Xiaoshu's abilities. Although he did not approve of Yu Xiaoshu as a person, he recognized Yu Xiaoshu's abilities.
Then when talking about Yu Xiaoshu's works, Yao Qing said that he had not watched much of Yu Xiaoshu's online dramas before, so he had nothing to say.
He just hopes that everyone can focus on the movie "A Woman Like a Song".
Then it was Xia Bing.
Xia Bing wouldn't say anything.
His relationship with Yu Xiaoshu is still in a good state. He said that both Yao Qing and Yu Xiaoshu are his friends, and he also hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate with Yu Xiaoshu again in the future.
Just like that, after the launch conference of "Women Like Songs" ended, many media also reported on it.
At this time, Yu Xiaoshu was doing the post-production of "The Wandering Earth".
At present, the post-production of "The Wandering Earth" is the top priority.
For Yu Xiaoshu, everything can be put off.
But "The Wandering Earth" is absolutely impossible to promote.
However, when Yu Xiaoshu participated in another event, the media asked Yu Xiaoshu for his opinion.
"I don't have any opinion. Just like Director Yao said, we have different paths, but I personally admire Director Yao's ability. I hope he can create great success in his online dramas. After all, there is one thing he said that is very true. That is, the current online dramas, no, not just online dramas, and not just urban dramas, in my opinion, all film and television dramas now seem to be about love, love, and more love..."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "This kind of market is definitely wrong, so I hope Director Yao can shoot classic works, and I also hope that more people can shoot wonderful works."
that's all.
Yu Xiaoshu also expressed his own opinion.
As for Xia Bing's speech, Yu Xiaoshu said it was not important.
Not only is Xia Bing unimportant, but Yao Qing's speech is also unimportant.
Because Yu Xiaoshu believes that public is public and private is private.
Finally, Yu Xiaoshu expressed the hope that everyone could focus on what they really care about.
The film and television drama market is what we should be most concerned about.
kindness.
In this regard, there is basically no difference between what Yu Xiaoshu said and what he didn't say.
For no other reason.
Everybody just doesn't care at all.
What everyone cares about most is eating melons.
Ten days later, the filming of "A Woman Like a Song" went on quite smoothly. Although Ding Xiaoman was a green tea girl, she also wanted to have a good work.
Although her acting skills are not that great, Yao Qing is the director who knows how to train actresses the best.
Otherwise, why were so many actresses trained by Yao Qing to have sex in bed? ?
This is why he is lustful, but he is really capable.
As a result, under Yao Qing's training, Ding Xiaoman's acting skills have indeed improved.
On the other hand, the online drama "Sito" has officially started filming.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu was also present on the day of the start of filming.
Although this drama was not invested and produced by Baiqian Media, Yu Xiaoshu is the screenwriter after all.
At the scene, everyone inevitably asked Yu Xiaoshu some sensitive questions.
"I'm asking you media, can you guys improve a little? I've said before that Director Yao and I just have differences in ideas. It's pointless for you to keep stirring up trouble."
Yu Xiaoshu laughed a little: "Director Yao really doesn't like this script. Since I don't want to change it, I will naturally sell the script to someone else. Besides, I personally trust Director Wu Fei very much, so I also believe that he can shoot "Sito" well..."
Yu Xiaoshu gave this answer about Yao Qing and then stopped.
The reason is very simple.
Yu Xiaoshu doesn't need to ride on this popularity. The reason is quite simple, because he is the one being sucked dry by others for popularity.
So Yao Qing stopped talking about this.
Then he asked Yu Xiaoshu about his plan.
"As for the plan, I hope everyone can pay attention to the movie The Wandering Earth that will be released during the Lunar New Year this year. This movie will definitely surprise everyone. I am also very confident about this blockbuster. The post-production is already underway. To be honest, the progress of the filming has really exceeded my expectations."
"By the way, there is another TV series about poverty alleviation. It has been scheduled to be broadcast on January 1st. You can go and watch it then."
"There are no other plans at this time."
…
After Yu Xiaoshu finished the interview and the media reporters finished reporting, "The Wandering Earth" officially released its first poster.
This poster sparked a lot of discussion.
At the same time, "Mountains and Seas" also directly released a trailer.
In any case, Yu Xiaoshu really attaches great importance to these two works.
As for other developments of Baiqian Media, Yu Xiaoshu has temporarily handed them over to others.
