At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 498 "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"

Why were opera singers and singing girls considered inferior in ancient times?

Because in ancient times, when there was no machinery to replace productivity, the contribution of actors to the country was really limited.

After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the name of opera appeared, performing opera and singing on a special stage, rich families would also cultivate opera troupes at home, and invite them to enliven the atmosphere during holidays or banquets.

As for the modern star...

Master Zhao has the final say on status and so on!

In fact, it is capital that stands out from others, not celebrities, who are just commodities.

Let’s take a chestnut, Sun Li, she has a good reputation, at least she has no public taint in her life. She complained about nighttime construction many years ago and was scolded as a sieve...

Yes, they have money, but they don't have the power status to match it...

Does it work?

There are still some, the biggest effect is to use distracting things!
Anyway, every time something happens, there will be a star storm out to top the tank...

It's basically the things in the crotch and the gossip news of celebrities and the trivial things, and then find a few marketing accounts to bring the rhythm, and soon, the things everyone cares about will disappear...

It's like it's gone!
But then again, with a daily salary of 208 million, you have to take a little risk.

All the good things have been given to you, what's the matter, you are the sons of planes?

Feng Xiaogang went on to talk about "Yahoo Search Star": "This draft is used to promote Yahoo China...Although I know Yahoo, I really don't know what this website is for!"

Shen Xudong explained casually: "Portal websites, media information, and services are mailboxes, games, etc. With content and services, there will be traffic, and then advertisements will naturally come...that's how to make money, but now the business is small. Divided, search, e-commerce, social, games..."

"Then why did Ma Yun buy it?"

"...I read the report seems to say that Yahoo took out 10 billion US dollars and Yahoo China bought a stake in Alibaba..."

In 05, Zhou Hongyi, the president of Yahoo China, and Yang Zhiyuan, the founder of Yahoo, had serious disagreements over the development direction of Yahoo China.
In the end, Yang Zhiyuan didn't want to do it, and wanted to entrust Yahoo China to a powerful Chinese company to operate. Alibaba was a good choice. Therefore, he took another 10 billion US dollars to invest in Ali, and Yahoo's shareholding solved Ma Yun's problem. Basically everything is resolved, and I am not afraid of ebay's hostile takeover...

Feng Xiaogang continued: "Ma Yun has a good relationship with the Chinese Army..."

As for the major shareholder, the relationship is of course not bad...

There is a question, since the relationship is good, why didn't Ma Yun help Brother Huayi?

Nonsense, a film and television company is an asset-light company, the key is to look at people, the Huayi brothers, the core talents are still those of the past, the pattern is there, and the possibility of counterattack is very small. In this case, a fool will Rescue!
It's just a remnant of the old days!

Shen Xudong listened to Feng Xiaogang's popularization of Huang Zhongjun's relationship with Ma Yun, and then asked: "Will the Zhao Liying Huayi Brothers sign the contract?"

"...should sign..."

"Will you support it?"

"...Certainly not...She doesn't come here very often..."

This incident refers to the Sammi culture!

——Live well and not cling to others, be righteous and love the poor, the point is not to let men be responsible and give, but to catch up with women who are willing to give up their hearts!
Why praise this?

If you like a man, you can analyze it yourself: you are very righteous and considerate to a man, you sleep for nothing, you spend your own money for abortion, you don’t care about your face or your assets, and you rush to pay back, then they are not happy?

Zhao Liying is obviously not this kind of person...

That being the case, Shen Xudong said: "Give it to me!"

"You want her?"

"Well, I'm going to form my own team, and I need a few actors..."

Feng Xiaogang didn't speak...

He is thinking.

In terms of relationship, he and Shen Xudong have a good relationship, but Huayi Brothers and Tianmei Media are essentially peers in the industry, and they must be competitive!

But...he is not from Huayi Brothers, he is the boss of Taihe People's Company.

Besides, Zhao Liying is not even considered a fledgling - "Yahoo Search Star" ratings are extremely low, and it is basically not influential...

and so…

"Success, I can promise you this matter!"

"Thank you, Uncle Feng...

"Small things..." Feng Xiaogang suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I heard that Brother Jackie Chan's new film is doing well at the box office!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "... Well, I estimate that it can have a box office of [-] million!"

"You wrote the script too?"

"The script is not important, what matters is the actors, Sammo Hung + Jackie Chan, they really have appeal!"

……

It's "Glory of the Tang Dynasty".

The film was released on July 7, with a box office of 7 million in the first weekend, and more than 7800 million in the next week...

It looks like it will break [-] million.

That's right, another phenomenal movie!

And it's still at the level of phenomena following "Stone"...

Shocked inside and outside the circle...

"Fearless" is only worth breaking [-] million, Jackie Chan's appeal is so strong?
Then why last year's "Mythology" failed to break through [-] million?
Well, they are all touting the appeal of Sammo Hung + Jackie Chan...

Few people pay attention to the screenwriter...

It's normal, who is the screenwriter of "Myth" and who is the screenwriter of "Project A"?

In the Jackie Chan movie, everyone only pays attention to Jackie Chan, and everyone else is supporting...

Of course, this is also related to Shen Xudong's relatively low profile recently. He has been busy with private equity matters recently. Apart from posting a blog, he has not participated in the promotion of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" at all.

But Feng Xiaogang knew Shen Xudong's strength: "The script is better...script, script, the basis of a play..."

Shen Xudong was delighted: "The screenwriter is important, and the script is important. Every producer I met said this. But they all talked about it. In fact, they didn't care."

"You can't say that..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "The screenwriter is really not important. Let's use an analogy. Is there any audience who will say: XX screenwriter has released a new work, and his work is very good. Go and see it?"

Feng Xiaogang was silent for a moment, before he could speak, Shen Xudong continued: "So, I will be a producer!"

"Your logic is wrong. It's the film's job to pay attention to the screenwriter, and all the audience can do is judge the plot!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "It's still a matter of status. Korean producers and producers are usually screenwriters, and American dramas are the same... I have been to the filming scene of "Prison Break", and the screenwriter is not the director sitting behind the monitor!"

"I'm also a screenwriter..."

"I'll just say a few words..." Shen Xudong changed the subject: "After "The Banquet", are you going to shoot "Mobile Phone 2"?"

Feng Xiaogang nodded: "Well...Actually, I want to make "1942" more..."

"...In two years, if you want to shoot, I will invest!"

1942 was a year full of major events: the turning point of World War II, the battle of Stalingrad, Ms. Meiling’s visit to the United States, Gandhi’s hunger strike, Qiu Jier’s cold...

Everything seems to be more important than the "eating" problem in Henan that killed millions of people.

Feng Xiaogang looked up at Shen Xudong, and said sincerely, "Thank you!"
