Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 829: Pioneer and Flag Bearer of the New Era (I)

In the subtle sky in the morning and afternoon, an increasingly sparkling and solid light spreads into the bedroom, making the room bright.

The morning sun shining into the room dissipated three points of laziness, three points of ambiguity, and four points of sleepiness, awakening the dreamers who were hugging each other.

The couple, still feeling a bit grumpy after waking up, were staring at each other in confusion, waiting to wake up. However, the sudden and inopportune ring of a cell phone instantly sobered them up from the confusion they had just woken up.

"Hey, Mom."

"Congratulations, best actress..."

It was my mother who called. She probably learned about Liu Yifei's award through Zeng Ni or through the news on the Internet. She called to congratulate me at just after seven in the morning.

Liu Yifei smiled and had a pleasant conversation with her mother. They each reported their next itinerary. Liu Yifei planned to go around Hengdian, while her mother replied that she would stay in the bridal chamber in Shenzhen to handle affairs.

"Thank you for your hard work, mom."

"Have fun."

"Okay."

Liu Yifei put down her phone and looked at Chu Xuan. The call was on speakerphone and Chu Xuan could hear the content clearly, so she didn't repeat herself.

The two of them continued to stare at each other, making a final lazy struggle before getting up. This was also a fun little game that they played every day when they woke up.

After a while, the couple was completely sober, and the childish atmosphere of glaring at each other escalated into a small awkwardness between adults, which made them smile at each other inexplicably and tacitly.

There was still a remnant of the love they had that night in Liu Yifei's eyes, and her eyes, brushed by the sunlight, were shining with a layer of beautiful light. Such a lovely look made Chu Xuan raise his hand and caress her face lovingly, expressing his full love for her.

"Get up and go to Wang Yuan Company," he said.

He is going to Wang Yuan Company today. The people who had dinner with him the day before yesterday will all be there. They have agreed to meet at Wang Yuan Company today to discuss business. He will also talk to these people about the industrialization of screenwriting.

Liu Yifei pouted, reminding Chu Xuan whether he had forgotten something.

Chu Xuan leaned over and gave her a good morning kiss.

Liu Yifei narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and gave Chu Xuan a kiss playfully and quickly in response.

The couple showed some romance in the new day and immediately got out of bed, dressed, bathed and washed up.

After finishing these, Chu Xuan went to the bathroom to wash clothes, while Liu Yifei fixed her hair, put on some light makeup, and tidied herself up in the bedroom.

There are very few hotels with their own washing machines. Domestic hotels with washing machine facilities are basically concentrated in small places such as Hengdian, and are suitable for regional environments where people live for a long time.

The couple's clothes were mixed with intimate clothing such as underwear, so it was inappropriate to ask the waiter to wash them. Fortunately, summer clothes were thin and easy to wash, so it was not difficult to wash them. Chu Xuan simply washed them in the bathroom sink.

Whether at home or outside, the couple lives a simple and unpretentious life.

Liu Yifei dressed herself up. Seeing that Chu Xuan was still hanging up the clothes, she was bored so she opened the hotel computer to check the news on the Internet.

Now that I have won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress, I think there will be some related topics online.

Be it the Feitian Award or the Magnolia Award, no matter how big the award is, not many audiences will actively pay attention to it. Unless the winner attracts much attention from the market, more people will be attracted.

#Magnolia Best Actress Liu Yifei#
#Liu Yifei proved herself with Mu Nihuang#
#Overtaking Yan Ni, surpassing Song Dan, the best actress is Liu Yifei#
After the award ceremony ended last night, major media outlets published promotional articles to gain traffic. Given Liu Yifei's national popularity and her unexpected win at the Magnolia Awards, she naturally became a hot topic for news media of all sizes, and after fermenting overnight, it generated quite a bit of heat.

Seeing her own trending searches, Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows. Surpassing Yan Ni? Surpassing Song Dan? Sure enough, the nature of traffic media is to watch the fun and not mind the big things. Such a topic will definitely cause controversy.

"This is too fake! Liu Yifei's acting is better than Yan Ni's? Better than Song Dandan's? How is it possible that Liu Yifei won the award?" There are many comments like this.

Liu Yifei looked at it and remained unmoved. It was normal to cause controversy in the face of such a situation. The only thing she could do was to work harder to improve herself.

"Yi Fei is amazing!"

"She won another Best Actress award. That's awesome."

The idol won the award, and the audience and fans are naturally happy.

There are a lot of reposted news on the fan page, and there are also a lot of discussions in the major fan groups.

Various emojis expressing awesomeness and celebration, as well as various "666" comments, flooded the screen, and fans of the "Chu Yifeixuan" group launched heated discussions and congratulated her.

Liu Yifei smiled. She felt honored every time she saw so many people supporting her, and this time was no exception.

"My Love from the Stars will only be aired at the end of the year? It's going to take that long."

“It is rumored that Skyfall: Enemy at the Gates will be released during the National Day holiday. We must support it!”

Regarding the couple's film and television career trends, the media took advantage of the current popularity to publicize the bits of information they got from last night's interview, which aroused the expectations and discussions of some drama fans and fans.

"Let's go." Chu Xuan said at the door.

"Okay." Liu Yifei turned off the computer, jumped in front of Chu Xuan with brisk steps, and went out with Chu Xuan.

This hotel booked by Baiyulan is occupied by people from the circle these two days. Many of them left last night, and many others caught flights early in the morning to go about their own business.

Family members like Kong Sheng, Ren Quan, Su Chang, and Jiang Xin left last night, while friends like Cai Shaofen, Deng Chao, Sun Li, and Zhu Ying left early in the morning. They all said hello to the couple last night, and Cai Shaofen and her friends even agreed to have a great time during their wedding next year.

"Boss Chu, Producer Liu, good morning."

"Sister Zhao Wei, Brother Xiao Ming... left?"

"Let's go. Why, you didn't take your luggage? Do you still want to play in Shenghai?"

"Yes, maybe a few more days."

"Okay, see you later."

"Goodbye."

In the hotel corridor, they met someone from the same circle who was leaving with his luggage. After a brief exchange of words, the couple went downstairs to the hotel breakfast room to have breakfast, and then Lu Tao drove them to Wang Yuan's company.

JA District is not too far from Pudong New Area, but due to the busy traffic conditions in Shenghai, it took nearly an hour to drive there.

Pudong New Area is still in the development stage, and the office building park, which is planned ahead of its time, is very complicated. You need to swipe your card to enter the gate, to enter the building, and to get on the elevator. When you get to the corresponding floor, the layout is so winding that it makes you dizzy.

"It turns out that the idea of ​​simplifying the complex that we have proposed in our five thousand civilizations is reasonable. The layout of the park and the floor plan of the office building are learned from the West. It would not look high-end if it is not dizzy."

Walking in the corridor of the office building, Wang Yuan and Liu Yifei laughed when they heard Chu Xuan's complaints.

"Our Brilliant Times Park is not like this. The main building is the main building, and the ancillary buildings are the ancillary buildings. Each piece is clear and distinct, and the floor plan is also a simple pattern of four sides."

Hearing what Liu Yifei said, Wang Yuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Of course it's different. Our cultural park is open to the public, so it must be built in accordance with the standards of urban planning. In order to better keep pace with international standards, the design is a bit more complicated, just like in foreign countries. You are the big guys, and you run a private park, so naturally you can design it however you want."

The group of three chatted and, led by Wang Yuan, came to the site of Chuyuan Culture Co., Ltd.

Chu Xuan thought this company name was a bit narcissistic. 'Chu' means the beginning, and in ancient times it represented the beginning of the universe. 'Yuan' has the same meaning as 'Chu', which means the beginning of a new era. It also has the meaning of 'Yuan' in the Taoist school of thought that one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.

At first glance, the Chu Yuan culture can be interpreted as the source of all cultures.

There is also a "Yuan" in Wang Yuan's name, which seems to indicate that Wang Yuan is the source of culture.

"Brother Wang, it's okay. This company has a very grand name, which is several levels higher than my Brilliant Times." Chu Xuan said humorously.

Wang Yuan heard Chu Xuan say this, thinking that Chu Xuan must have seen through the connotation of this company name, so he laughed and said: "Culture is limited, how can it be grand?"

Culture is limited? ... Chu Xuan didn't understand at first, but when he looked at the "Limited Culture" in "Chuyuan Culture Co., Ltd.", he couldn't help laughing.

Liu Yifei also understood the funny part and was amused by Wang Yuan. She felt that Wang Yuan was really humorous, and his humor was very cultured.

"Boss Chu and Boss Liu are here."

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu for winning the Magnolia Award. Congratulations."

Han Zhongping, former editor-in-chief of Shenghai News Agency and a veteran in literature, Zheng Zhongwei, producer and investor of Wenzhou Television Production Center, Liu Feng, a well-known screenwriter of Shenghai Screenwriters Association, and Wei Zheng, partner and director of Chuyuan Culture Company, these four professionals in the industry who welcomed the couple the day before yesterday were all present.

They are also like-minded people who have reached a preliminary consensus with Wang Yuan on the screenwriting industry. When they saw the couple, the two pioneers leading the screenwriting industrialization in the current brilliant era, walk into the conference room, they each gave them a warm and friendly greeting.

"Good morning, teachers."

"Good morning, teachers."

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei responded enthusiastically. Wang Yuan personally poured a cup of tea for each of them and invited them to take a seat.

The conference room is not big, with only an oval table that can seat up to ten people.

The sunken area in the middle of the table is covered with soil, and a row of real flowers and plants are planted there. The large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the high-rise buildings allow good light transmittance into the room. Together with these real flowers and plants, this small meeting room has a unique modern + pastoral artistic style.

Chu Xuan took a sip of tea, looked at the people in front of him, put the teacup on the table, and said this: "Everyone, before we officially talk about this career, I want to say a few more words and talk about the origin of the industrialization of screenwriting in our Brilliant Era. I wonder if you are interested?"

If these people have a vested interest in this business, then he won't say too much about these things and will just talk directly about the topic of interest.

But obviously these people do not have such an attitude towards this career. This is a long-term career or a long-term project. If people are eager for quick success, they will not be interested in such a career.

Therefore, these people have long-term plans for operation and planning in this business, so it is necessary to have a deep understanding and experience in ideological construction and the origin of the business.

"Please speak, Mr. Chu. We are all ears." Zheng Zhongwei said.

"Today's meeting is mainly for President Chu and President Liu, and we need you to give us the confidence to run this business. President Chu, please feel free to say whatever you want. Don't be polite." Han Zhongping said.

Screenwriter Liu Feng and director Wei Zheng just smiled and didn't say anything. In the core team formed by Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan, Han Zhongping and Zheng Zhongwei are the ones who take charge of the overall situation. They are the operators who implement specific plans, which is equivalent to the team framework relationship of three leaders and two people who do things.

"Brother Chu, please, just speak frankly. I also want to hear your ideas." Wang Yuan said.

During the observation and study at the Brilliant Times Literature Company, I mostly looked at it from a realistic perspective, such as industrial processes, industrial structures, and the requirements of each link.

They still only know a little about the specific expressions of the industrialized thinking style, ideological outlines and other ideological things of the brilliant era screenwriters.

Just because the industrialized approach of screenwriting in Brilliant Times is good, these people came up with the idea of ​​conspiracy. Now they have to go back and understand the industrialization of Brilliant Times, which also makes them curious and interested.

Seeing that these people were interested, Chu Xuan didn't waste any words and started talking.

"I had discussed the issue of screenwriting industrialization with my senior Han Sanping in 05, not long after Brilliant Times was founded. However, the company was in its early stages of development at the time and did not have the foundation to experiment and realize it."

"In the second half of 06, Brilliant Times began to take shape. It was also during the recording of the first season of I Am an Actor that my husband and I, senior Han Sanping and teacher Liu Yiliu started to have a real discussion about it. Three screenwriters, Ye Junce, Gong Geer and Yang Dongxu, also participated in the discussion and offered advice."

"During those two or three months, we talked about how to develop the screenwriting industry, and we had endless arguments."

Liu Yifei nodded at the side. The framework and concept of the industrialization of screenwriting for Brilliant Times were explored during the two or three months of recording the variety show.

It is relatively easy to do something from 1 to N, but it is difficult to do something from 0 to 1. At that time, they were a 0 in this matter, so the question of how to start was really a debate. Everyone had their own reasons, but it was difficult to combine them together.

"The point of contention is concentrated on one thing: should we learn from the Western film and television industry? Learn everything? Just borrow from it? Or learn from it by taking the essence and discarding the dross?"

"I say, learn everything? Then what's the point of developing the film and television industry? What's the point of developing the screenwriting industry? Wouldn't it be better to just let them write the scripts?"

Wang Yuan nodded slightly. What Chu Xuan said made sense. If we imitated everything from the West, why bother with this business? It would be better to pay some money to let the West create it, which would save trouble and effort.

"Borrowed? But how can we learn from them? Western producers and screenwriters have very systematic learning and training in Hollywood. You can't learn from them. This is closely related to the environment of the entire industry. Unless the entire industry, including major colleges and universities, carries out a reform, there is no way to learn from them."

Han Zhongping agreed. Over the years, various domestic industries have more or less imitated Western operations, but the film and television industry is difficult to imitate in terms of basic construction and operations. The fundamental reason is what Chu Xuan said, the Western film and television industry has a systematic learning and training system, which is almost impossible for the domestic film and television industry to achieve and imitate.

To put it more clearly, capital is profit-seeking. No company boss will spend a lot of money to train screenwriters and producers, let alone cultivate talents in an organized way and integrate them into the industrialized system.

"Take the essence and discard the dregs? What is the essence? What is the dregs? If we think about this problem from the perspective of the Chinese, it is very likely that the dregs they think of are the essence we want."

"How about considering this issue with Western thinking? But we are Chinese, how can we completely consider the issue with Western thinking? So this so-called taking the essence and discarding the dregs is also a dialectical issue, and there is not much practical significance in discussing it."

Zheng Zhongwei looked at Chu Xuan with a higher opinion. The thinking reflected in his words was very pragmatic and realistic.

Just like foreign capital can never fully understand the development thinking and vision of the Chinese people, at best they can only gain a superficial understanding.

The same is true for people in their country who study the Western world. If they only interpret and understand the West with their own ideas, there will definitely be many misjudgments, because what you think is not what Westerners think. You just think that it should be so based on your own subjective thinking, but often this "should be so" is a mistake.

If you want to understand the Western world, you must understand it from the perspective of Westerners. But how can Chinese people have Westerners' perspectives? This is impossible unless the Chinese people are completely assimilated into the West.

Therefore, we can draw a conclusion from this matter: the West will never be able to understand the Chinese world, and it will be difficult for China to thoroughly study the Western world.

According to the logic of this gap, when our domestic people or enterprises try to learn Western operating models or development directions, they often end up making a lot of mistakes.

It took him 25 to years of hard work to gain this kind of knowledge. Now hearing such words from Chu Xuan, a young man of only years old, really made him look at Chu Xuan in a different light.

"So." Chu Xuan tapped the table lightly and glanced at the people in front of him, with a leader's demeanor: "Finally, we came to a conclusion. Regardless of ideology, way of thinking, or international situation, the Western film and television industry is completely unsuitable for us. We Chinese can only develop a film and television industry system that is completely our own!"

If there is no preface of three questions and three answers, and the conclusion of "building one's own industrial system" is directly stated, such a groundless thing will be very vague, just like the rhetoric of pyramid schemes without any basis.

With a root and a basis to support such an ideological policy, Wang Yuan, Han Zhongping, Zheng Zhongwei, Liu Feng and Wei Zheng were encouraged and excited.

At the same time, it also gave them a feeling that they were clearly discussing issues in the conference room, but why did it feel like they were in a class?
This can only mean that our President Chu is truly outstanding.
