Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 45 Sichuan Opera
Judging from the expressions on their faces, this group of people was divided into two factions.

Producer Tang Jili, director Jiang Jiajun and the producer are on the same side, and several managers are on the same side.

The two parties did not speak, some smoked, some looked at their mobile phones, some drank tea, and the suite fell into a brief silence.

After a while, one of the management, Mr. Zhang wearing a pair of glasses, pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray to put it out, and spoke first.

"I'm here to make money, not to praise newcomers. I can give Wang Jinhua face, but let her come with someone else. Ren Quan is also Wang Jinhua's artist, right? He is also handsome, decent looking, and very popular. , let him play the male lead, I have no objection."

After the words fell, the other two management personnel glanced at Tang Jili and the others, wanting to see what they had to say.

Tang Ji glanced at Jiang Jiajun and the representative of the producer, Jiang Jiajun and the producer looked at each other, and at the same time lowered their eyelids, revealing a little bit of bitterness and helplessness.

This bitterness and helplessness was not aimed at Chu Xuan, but at these few people in the management.

When Wang Jinhua came to talk about cooperation, under the arrangement of Tang Jili, one of them was the director and the other represented the producer, so the two of them were naturally present.

With Wang Jinhua throwing out 300 million investment and follow-up joint publicity resources, they reached a preliminary cooperation.

The reason for the cooperation is because a non-IP TV drama is not popular, and the popularity of the actors is only the foundation. If there is no more vigorous publicity and more funds spent on post-production to make the final film more beautiful, which TV series will be more beautiful? The popularity of the drama, including its quality, will not be guaranteed much.

It's true that Chu Xuan is a rookie, but Lin Xinru is a first-line star.

With Lin Xinru, the publicity before the final film made the market look forward to it. They thought it was not difficult, because Lin Xinru's popularity lies here, and the crape myrtle in "My Fair Princess" is popular all over Asia.

Therefore, as long as there is a little publicity at the launch conference and some money is given to the media to help them publish some news, it is not impossible for this drama to become popular before it is broadcast.

However, what they pay most attention to is the publicity after the film is completed and before it starts broadcasting. The publicity at this stage is the most important, and it can even directly determine the success or failure of a drama's ratings.

Publicity at this stage requires the greatest effort.

However, vigorous publicity requires money, resources, and more publicity channels, including marketing methods that can hype. Only by combining these can a drama be surpassed by many competitors, and its popularity can be achieved within a few days. The inside is straight up, even unprecedented.

And Wang Jinhua's marketing methods and Huayi's publicity resources will allow this drama to maximize its nationwide marketing and publicity at this stage.

This is exactly what they need.

Therefore, under the circumstances that Chu Xuan fits the role of the heroine, and Tang Jili personally called Zhang Jizhong and Zhang Jizhong proved that Chu Xuan's acting skills are very good, and Huayi's 300 million funds can allow them to With more confidence in post-production, they have no objection to Chu Xuan playing the male lead.

This is a very reasonable transaction and a win-win cooperation.

However, they looked at Chu Xuan's entry into the group from the perspective of the market and the pattern, but the people in the management didn't think so.

——Whoever is more popular will be the hero.

This is the thinking of these few capitalists, and they are a bit stubborn and can't explain it.

But is it really impossible to explain?

No.

There are no fools in capital.

The reason why these capitalists disagreed with Chu Xuan being the male lead, and they wanted to replace Chu Xuan with a popular actor, was because it was safer to let a popular actor be the male lead, so that these people could see how much money they made. hope.

This is normal, after all, few people dare to take the risk of making fun of their own money.

At this time, seeing that several people in Tang Ji hadn't spoken for a while, one of the managers, Mr. Yang with his arms around him, spoke again.

"Hua Yi invested 300 million yuan, which will account for our investment share. If the show makes a profit, then part of the profit will be taken away. It feels a bit like outsiders are grabbing food, which is not good."

Hearing this, Tang Jili glanced at Jiang Jiajun, and Jiang Jiajun spoke.

"The funds are more sufficient, which is more beneficial for publicity and post-production."

The last manager, Mr. Wu who raised his legs, said: "Didn't you estimate that the funds are enough?"

Jiang Jiajun thought for a while, and said: "Enough may be enough, but if it is more sufficient, then we will have more confidence to shoot the show well, or the entire crew will have more confidence. The crew are all migrant workers. People look at money, and if there is enough money, the cohesion will naturally be stronger, and people will be more united."

The people from the management did not answer the phone again and remained silent.

"Bosses, Wang Jinhua has marketing means, and Huayi has publicity resources, which we need very much." Jiang Jiajun said again.

Mr. Zhang stretched out his hand to straighten his glasses slightly, and said with a faint smile, "Propaganda costs money and must be put into practice, but if that Chu Xuan can't stand the publicity, what should we do if the resources are wasted in the end?"

Jiang Jiajun smiled: "Bosses, I believe in Wang Jinhua's marketing methods, besides, investment is always a bit risky."

Mr. Wu put down his embracing hands, waved his right hand and said, "You guys are familiar with Wang Jinhua, but I am not. Investment is risky, let a popular actor be the male lead, and minimize the risk?"

Jiang Jiajun was dumb, somewhat sullen in his heart.

It's not unreasonable for the director and the capital to not deal with each other. The starting point is different, and it's strange to get along well.

"Made, three idiots! You know the woolen market! You know nothing but who is popular and who is not, so you will be so stupid!" Jiang Jiajun cursed inwardly.

Tang Jili patted Jiang Jiajun on the shoulder, and said to the employer: "How about this, I'll call Wang Jinhua over, let's talk?"

The three bosses looked at each other, nodded and said, "Yes."

……

In Tang Jili's suite.

Yang Tianzhen listened quietly, while Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua were talking.

"When your popularity is high and you have the strength to make a solid foundation, things will be much simpler. At that time, some crews will rush to get you, and there is no need to exchange resources or contribute money."

Wang Jinhua said with a smile.

Chu Xuan smiled.

At this time, Tang Jili will open a door, and the three people on the sofa will look at each other.

Tang Jili beckoned to Wang Jinhua, and Wang Jinhua patted Chu Xuan's shoulder, then got up and walked out.

on the corridor.

Wang Jinhua asked, "Director Tang, what's the matter?"

Tang Jili sorted out his thoughts, and then picked out some key points of the situation just now.

Wang Jinhua fell silent for a moment when he heard that the reason for the capital's people was Chu Xuan's popularity and Huayi Investment's share.

"Director Tang, give me some time to think about it."

"Not urgent."

Tang Jili lit a cigarette, accompanied Wang Jinhua in the corridor, and let Wang Jinhua, who was pacing slowly in the corridor with her arms around her, think.

A few minutes later, Wang Jinhua smiled and said, "Director Tang, I kept you waiting, go in."

Tang Jili smiled, turned around and opened the door to let Wang Jinhua go in, and then closed the door tightly.

In the suite, a group of people looked over, all smiling and stood up to say hello.

"Mr. Wang, I have admired your name for a long time. I have always wanted to meet you but have no chance. It is a great honor to meet you today." Mr. Zhang, who is wearing glasses, is smiling.

"Mr. Wang, I have also admired you for a long time." Mr. Yang smiled radiantly.

"Mr. Wang, sit here." Mr. Wu smiled and gave up his seat.

Wang Jinhua clasped his hands together, with a smile on his face, and said, "Hello bosses, although I haven't met each other, I have heard a few big names from the investment circle. I heard Director Tang say that there are several bosses investing in this drama. I thought, this show is going to be a hit.”

"Hahaha—" Everyone laughed.

Naturally, Wang Jinhua didn't sit in the right seat given by President Wu. After finding a seat at random, Tang Jili, Jiang Jiajun and the people from the producer looked at Wang Jinhua and waited for her to talk, while the three bosses were lighting cigarettes. , drink tea drink tea.

I have to say, the face changed a little quickly.

——A realistic version of Sichuan Opera.
