Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 718 CCTV Children's Channel!

The next day, in the evening.

After finishing the trip to Mexico, Li Zhifan and his team are ready to sail back to China.

airport.

Rudolph led the team to see off again. In addition to the armed forces who took the opportunity, many filmmakers also came to the scene.

Including the female companions of the three who were in Mexico this time, they also followed them all the way to the airport.

"Li! Be sure to remember me!"

Before boarding the plane, Miranda did not forget to tell Li Zhifan that his idea of ​​taking the opportunity to develop in Hollywood was also clear to other colleagues around him.

Of course, it’s not the first day that everyone has the insight. Even if Miranda didn’t say it clearly before, whoever is engaged in the entertainment industry doesn’t want to develop on a bigger platform?

There are quite a few Mexican actors who have achieved success in Hollywood, and even if these people are not famous, they are also the pride of the locals.

"Ok!"

Li Zhifan agreed, "If there is a suitable opportunity, I will contact you!"

Miranda felt happy, and felt that everything was worth it.

……

After returning to Los Angeles, Li Zhifan only stayed at home for one night, and took a flight back to China the next day.

When he returned home this time, his work was even more arduous.

The box office of "Infernal Affairs 3" has gradually declined, but it still won 15 billion box office, and got the sixth place of the year as of the end of October, and the first and second divisions are the second and the first.

The "Infernal Affairs" series finally won a box office of 62 billion. Although it is a trilogy, this achievement has already broken the record of domestic series movies. Unless "Wolf Warrior" makes a second part, it will be difficult to have other domestic series for a while. The movie broke this record.

So far, another strange phenomenon has appeared in the Chinese film circle, that is, the series of movies. Under the influence of "Infernal Affairs", many movies have started shooting sequels, and even movies released more than ten years ago have now proposed to shoot 2 movies. For the plan, if there is a good film, I still look forward to and bless it, but if it is patched together, I am afraid it will make the audience complain even more.

10 month 29 day.

The "Infernal Affairs" series film celebration banquet was grandly held in Beijing.

Neither the first nor the second part had held a public celebration banquet before.

When the first film was released, Li Zhifan and the main creators were still filming the follow-up two and three in Xiangjiang, so there was only a small internal dinner to celebrate, which was not considered grand.

By the time the second film was released, Li Zhifan had already gone to the United States to start the production of "Coco", and did not hold any celebration banquet.

This time the third film is released, and Li Zhifan has a lot of time to spare, so he naturally has the time and energy to hold this kind of celebration party for the media and the public.

On the day of the celebration party, apart from the young TVB actors from Xiangjiang, most of the actors from the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy came, but there was also one main actor who was not present, that is Zeng Yuanjiang.

Zeng Yuanjiang has encountered serious trouble recently, and various media have reported about him.

In the beginning, it was just being happy with the girls in a nightclub, and someone took a few photos of hugging left and right and salty pig hands, and was accused of being an old cow who eats grass and hooked up with tender models who are ten years younger than her own daughter.

I thought it would be fine for the media to write about such gossip, but later it was revealed that he had raped an actress in the industry many years ago. Now the actress has long since quit the entertainment industry and disappeared from the public eye. In the field of vision, what made this statement was the content of an interview video filmed by the actress more than ten years ago. This video tape was kept secret at the beginning. It is said that Zeng Yuanjiang spent a lot of money, but now the video tape falls into the In the hands of others, this video was exposed.

At that time, when the third part of "Infernal Affairs" was released, Li Zhifan had just arrived in Mexico and had no time to take care of this matter. After returning to China, he invited Zeng Yuanjiang to Beijing, but he shirked the news. I understand, it is very likely that it is really a real hammer.

After all, he had seen Zeng Yuanjiang's flirtatious behavior in Xiangjiang, and even his daughter allowed him to mess around.

The press conference for the celebration banquet was held this time, and the reporters absolutely wanted to ask about Zeng Yuanjiang. Not there.

It's not that Li Zhifan has any protection for Zeng Yuanjiang's behavior, but that Zeng Yuanjiang starred in the "Infernal Affairs" series after all, and has a personal interest relationship with the entire crew. If he can't agree with his behavior, he can choose to ignore his behavior .

At the celebration banquet, the host Wang Yue came to play the role. Although he did not participate in this drama, he was still happy to help out. On the contrary, Li Zhifan, who has a host certificate, sat comfortably on the stage today, starting from the beginning. There were only a few words spoken at the end, and this was also because there were too many participating actors, so that everyone could say a few words, and then quickly moved on to the next session.

……

On the same day, the United States.

CBS TV premiered "Peppa Pig" at [-] pm that day, and broadcast four episodes at once.

Many American netizens have long been looking forward to this day. What they are looking forward to is not to watch it, but to hope that more people will criticize this "cult" animated series, especially those housewives. They will definitely have more to say , will also lodge a protest with CBS Television.

However, what is disappointing is that there was no movement on the Internet that day. The people who talked about "Peppa Pig" were still the original group. Even if there were new ones, it was not because of the CBS broadcast.

"Huh? Strange, isn't it the first broadcast on CBS today? Why is there no movement?"

"Yeah! CBS started promoting it last week, and it's been so long, and with four episodes today, don't the new viewers have any ideas?"

"Oh, how strange!"

"I wonder if I'm on the wrong internet?"

"Could it be that everyone thinks it looks good?"

"impossible?"

"I think there is only one possibility, and that is that no one is watching!"

"Hahaha, Sam, you're so mean, but I'm so happy."

"If no one is really watching, the audience's silent rejection is just a complaint. I believe that CBS will not broadcast this cartoon again, and there is no need to wait for desperate housewives to complain."

"..."

"Little Pig Peppa" is a new cartoon after all, and it was just a small test on the Internet before. This time, it will take some time to wait for the TV screen to look good. It may even be a year or two, or even longer .

If the whole world knows about the premiere on the first day, that would be too mysterious.

However, some data can still be known immediately, such as ratings.

The TV ratings in the United States are very strict and serious. Compared with the fake ratings in China, this situation must never happen in the American TV industry. Otherwise, they will face huge fines and even be prosecuted and imprisoned.

The ratings of "Peppa Pig" came out at twelve o'clock that night, and CBS published the report card in the ratings announced yesterday.

Countless netizens who were waiting to see the joke were eagerly looking forward to it, but they didn't expect the ratings of "Peppa Pig" to slap them in the face. It was 0.6% when it was broadcast, and it has been rising since then, and it has never fallen. Although the final ratings The rate is only 0.9%, but this is enough to show that "Peppa Pig" is loved by children who reach out.

With this ratings result, Simon will be able to stand upright and lobby other TV stations.

……

Beijing.

Li Zhifan knew the news at nine o'clock that night.

However, he did not show any joy to Simon on the phone, but only told him to continue to work hard and strive to sell to more TV stations.

He had expected the success of "Peppa Pig" a long time ago, but it is unknown how successful it will be and how suitable it will be to become famous all over the world.

The next day.

Li Zhifan came to CCTV before eight o'clock in the morning.

The director team of this year's Spring Festival Gala contacted and communicated with Li Zhifan early on. In previous years, he had rejected invitations to the Spring Festival Gala, but this year he had to come, because this year's chief director had many other people. It was Zhou Ke's uncle, Li Zhifan. Former boss Liang Tian.

Liang Tian has risen very fast in the past two years. He filmed two red dramas in the CCTV Program Production Center. His outstanding performance made him enter the eyes of CCTV executives, and he took over a CCTV variety show "National Treasure" as the director. At the same time, he also filmed a documentary of the same name.

Among the director candidates for this year's Spring Festival Gala, Liang Tian is the only junior and also the youngest.

But in the end, the reason why CCTV gave him the position of chief director was because he boasted about Haikou in front of the director—he would definitely invite Li Zhifan this year, and secretly revealed his relationship with Li Zhifan.

The Spring Festival Gala does not have to be Li Zhifan, and the director of CCTV is only making some proposals for the Spring Festival Gala. The final decision depends on the "Spring Festival Gala Preparatory Team" led by the Central Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Culture.

It's just that the addition of Li Zhifan is an extra bargaining chip, coupled with the strong recommendation of the director of CCTV, successfully squeezed out several other candidates from other units.

office.

Li Zhifan was filled with emotion: "Oh, old uncle, I didn't expect you to be the director of the Spring Festival Gala so soon? The span is big enough, isn't it? This year will pass, and you will be famous soon."

"Hi, the leader loves you!"

Liang Tian smiled and said, "I also did a lot of homework and put a lot of thought into it. More importantly, I told the director to go to Haikou, saying that I would be able to invite you, so they let me be the chief director."

"The chief director is under a lot of pressure!"

Li Zhifan said, "But you just need to listen to the preparatory team, fight wherever they tell you, and don't disobey their requirements."

"I know that!"

Liang Tian said, "You said that there are so many directors in the country, and those who have directed large-scale evening parties can even arrange a reinforcement company. Why do they dare to use me when I go to hire them? It's not because I am a newcomer. Generally speaking, newcomers are very obedient. Those old You Tiao dare to negotiate with them."

"Yo!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, "Director Liang, you speak differently now. Sure enough, the official directors are full of official vocabulary."

"Hi! Just kidding!"

Liang Tian waved his hand, "Okay, tell me about the show you're preparing? This time it must be eye-catching, and you must save face. I'll arrange for you to appear before midnight, how about it?"

"Before midnight?"

Li Zhifan was dumbfounded, "Do you have such great power?"

"You! You underestimate yourself!"

Liang Tian said, "Vice Minister Wang of the Central Propaganda Department said that as long as you come, you will be given a time before midnight."

"Oh, Deputy Minister Wang!"

Li Zhifan said casually, "I know him. The filming of "Wolf Warrior" was thanks to his help!"

"Oh?"

Only then did Liang Tian understand some of the truths, "No wonder I followed the director to a meeting with the Spring Festival Gala preparatory group. The deputy director Wang agreed to support me when he heard that I was your uncle. It seems that I can be the president. Director, is it your fault?"

"Really? I don't know!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand, "Don't put too much hat on me, just say what type of song you need? Before midnight, right? How long? I'll go back and make plans."

"You...you won't say you're going back to write new songs, will you?"

Liang Tian looked at Li Zhifan in disbelief, "Don't make trouble, I'd better find an old song of yours, this year's Spring Festival Gala stipulates that false singing is not allowed, but I can rest assured of your skills, you can sing it for real, right?"

"What do you say?"

Li Zhifan rubbed his head, "Should I really hold a concert and let everyone see my strength? Or else everyone would think that my identity as a singer is just paper!"

"Haha, don't mind. Just say how many times you have sung in public over the years? You can count them on one hand!"

Liang Tian said, "If you don't show your skills, everyone will think your voice has deteriorated."

"no problem!"

Li Zhifan said, "Well, you give me a theme. I'm going back to write a song, so I won't hang around here any longer. I'll come over to meet you for a meeting after I write it!"

"it is good!"

Liang Tian stood up and sent Li Zhifan out, "I also have a lot of things to do! You will be alone in the capital, right? Come to my house in the evening, and I will sit with you at a table with delicious food."

"Row!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Contact me tonight, I'm going to the Children's Channel right now, the people there are still waiting for me!"

"Children's channel?"

Liang Tian was taken aback, "12 stations? Are you and them..."

"Don't guess, I'll tell you when I'm sure!"

After Li Zhifan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, entered the elevator and went straight to the floor of the children's channel.

On the 17th floor, this is the children's channel.

The people who received Li Zhifan had been waiting for a long time. The director of the program center of the children's channel, a senior party official of the children's channel, the first editor-in-chief of the channel, and the director of film purchases, the four of them were looking forward to Li Zhifan's appearance.

As soon as the elevator door opened, several people walked over as soon as they saw Li Zhifan's face.

"Director Li!"

The four of them were all young and middle-aged, much older than Li Zhifan, and they were small leaders of CCTV, but they treated Li Zhifan as if he was the director of radio, film and television.

"Director Zhang! Secretary Jin! Editor Ye!"

Li Zhifan only called out the surnames of three of them, who he knew from the previous contact.

The one who didn't call out at the back came up to shake hands and said, "Hello, Director Li, I'm the film purchasing director of our channel, and my name is Dai Yong!"

"Oh! Acting Director!"

Li Zhifan immediately shouted, "The last time I contacted you, you should have been the one I talked to on the phone!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Dai Yong smiled and said, "At that time, I was following Director Zhang's words. I forgot to introduce myself to you. Ha ha, forgive me!"
