Rebirth, possession in the opening game

Along the way, Xu Litao's mind recalled the ups and downs of Sugar Man Film and Television in his previous life.

If you want to talk about the relatively top established brokerage companies in the entertainment industry in previous lives, then Sugar Man Film and Television is definitely among the best.

At one time, Sugar Man Film and Television was unparalleled among domestic brokerage companies at the same time, and its development speed was unparalleled.

It has not only launched a number of high-quality film and television dramas with excellent quality and reputation, such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

It is also the first film and television company in China to try the new development model of "nurturing people through dramas", and has successfully cultivated powerful actors such as Sun Li, Guo Jinan, Guan Yonghe, etc. who are both good-looking and talented in acting.

It can be said that in the early days, Sugar Man Film and Television not only focused on film and television content, but also made drastic changes in its operating model.

What's even more rare is that the TV series produced by Sugar Man Film and Television not only have reasonable plot connections, but also have very successful group portraits.

The actors' aesthetics are always online, and they are well received and loved by the audience.

The actors they selected not only have superb acting skills, but also have a cool and refined temperament. Their appearance is also fresh and elegant. They are so beautiful that they are irresistible and make people feel very comfortable.

For example, Liu Yifei, Hu Ge, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and others from the "Sword and Fairy" series.

It can be seen that at that time, Sugar Man Film and Television not only focused on actors' acting skills and accumulation of experience, but also had its own set of systems and standards in terms of casting.

This also provides a lot of foundation for the subsequent development of Sugar Man Film and Television.

In 2005, Sugarman Film and Television, on the basis of insisting on making original works, turned its attention to the stand-alone game "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which was very popular and talked about at the time, and brought its one-to-one restoration to the screen.

At that time, the development of the domestic film and television market was still immature. Sugarman Film and Television made the choice to adapt the game, which shows its courage.

Being the first to eat crabs is very admirable.

However, Sugar Man Film and Television made the right choice.

After the adaptation, the main focus of this drama is the feud between store waiter Li Xiaoyao and Nuwa's descendants Zhao Ling'er and Miss Lin Lin Yueru.

This setting condensed the game and framed its operability and selectivity, so many game fans were not optimistic about the show at the time.

But after the show was aired, the effect it achieved was an unprecedented craze for watching the show.

Li Xiaoyao, who is upright, kind and helpful; Zhao Ling'er, who is beautiful, cute and quirky; and Lin Yueru, who is proud, willful, stubborn and affectionate.

At that time, it won the love of many viewers.

Until now, it is the white moonlight in the eyes of many viewers and the cinnabar mole in the heart.

In particular, the pure music produced by Mak Zhenhong has become the soul of the whole play.

The theme songs "Sha Po Lang" and "Finally Understood" have sad melodies and strong storytelling, and once rushed to the music charts.

In addition, the clothing that is close to the game style, the careful rendering of the screen and the color matching of the art all make the audience shine.

Therefore, after the show, Hu Ge, Liu Yifei, An Yixuan and others reaped the dividends from the show and became popular niche stars.

It was also from this play that the fairy tale drama market in the field of film and television dramas was officially opened up.

Sugar Man Film and Television has gradually gained a foothold in the trend of the times.

The success of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" has allowed Tangren Film and Television to see how profitable this aspect is.

In 2008, "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" came out, and the show was more popular than the first one.

The show chose the form of soliciting actors interested in the role from the entire Internet, which respected the opinions of the audience to a large extent.

The roles of Sedum, Tang Xuejian, Zixuan and Nightshade all come from this.

With the foundation of the previous works and the casting and filming based on respecting the wishes of the audience, the subsequent results of the drama will naturally be quite impressive.

After the play ended, characters such as Tang Xuejian, Zixuan, and Nightshade have all received high praise from the audience, laying the foundation for subsequent development.

What's interesting is that the actresses who played the three main roles in that drama have all become popular stars in the future.

Although the situation in the past few years after 2020 seems to be much worse than before, compared with 90 flowers, which has average performance, 85 flowers' current performance is still very impressive.

Although facing a mid-life transition crisis, there should be no shortage of resources. As long as you are careful in choosing scripts, it will not be difficult to continue on this road.

In 2010, "Bu Bu Jing Xin", which Tang Ren Film and Television worked hard to produce for many years, was broadcast. As soon as the show was aired, it attracted attention due to its close-to-historical costume style and the advanced nature of the time-travel theme.

Although the filming time of this drama was too long, it was overtaken by the popular "Gong Lock Heart Jade".

But compared to its posthumous reputation, "Step by Step" is obviously more like a classic work. Both the selection of actors and the soundtrack and scenery are extremely particular.

Liu Shishi also received a lot of bonuses from this drama, and his future resources and works have experienced "qualitative" changes.

But after "Step by Step", Sugar Man Film and Television began to gradually decline.

Both the quality and content of movies and TV series are not as good as before.

"Dream Back to the Qing Dynasty" broadcast in early 2020 and "Twelve Tans" broadcast in 2021 give people a feeling that "painting a tiger cannot turn against a dog".

While it was developing so well before, with Liu Shishi and Hu Ge’s Sugar Man Film and Television becoming popular, why did Sugar Man Film and Television, which has a profound cultural heritage, become worse and worse as time went on?

Xu Litao thinks there are several reasons.

First, the talent resources of Sugar Man Company are unevenly distributed, and the actor management operation is not in place.

Sugar Man Company has a fixed number of artists under its banner, so there is often a problem of "more monks and less rice" in the allocation of film and television drama resources.

Except for one brother and one sister, almost all the other artists in Tang Ren Company are "little transparent" in the entertainment industry.

Moreover, the biggest problem of Sugar Man Company is that they praise people to death, even though the main actors are indeed very qualified and their acting skills are passable.

But for those young actors with great development potential and promising prospects, it is indeed difficult to take care of both, and they have a strong desire to control. For those actors with low voice, it is stricter to accept outside roles.

This may also be the problem that Sugarman Film and Television will get stuck in in the next few years. The departure of Lin Gengxin, Jin Yu and others is closely related to this.

Secondly, Tangren Company is having difficulty in transforming, and subsequent actors are unable to replenish the company.

Judging from the films and TV series that Tangren Film and Television participated in the production of at the beginning, we can see that it is good at the field of costume dramas.

The modern parts of "Bu Bu Jing Qing" and "Dream Back to the Qing Dynasty" also prove that Sugarman Film and Television is indeed slightly lacking in strength in this aspect.

Although most of the dramas that will break out in the future are costumed fairy tale dramas.

If you only stick to the field of costume dramas without seeking breakthroughs, it will be extremely disadvantageous for actors who are in the transition period.

After Liu Shishi and others terminated their contracts and left one after another, Hu Ge was the only one left in Tangren Film and Television, who seemed a little helpless.

After all, the only ones left at Sugar Man Film and Television at that time were Chen Yao, Li Landi, Zhang Leyun and others.

Judging from the fame and resources of Gu Lina Zha and Hu Bingqing at that time, it is obvious that they are not quite equal.

Therefore, if Sugar Man wants to continue to be an artist manager, he may need to find a way to add new blood.

Thirdly, actors from Sugar Man Company rarely participate in variety shows and have insufficient exposure.

Perhaps due to the shortcomings in the operation of Sugar Man Company itself, the actors of Sugar Man Film and Television basically do not participate in variety shows.

During the time when there is no filming, most of the time he stays at home and has nothing to do.

This means that the exposure of Sugar Man film and television actors is not fully guaranteed, and the actors have a long window of opportunity after their dramas gain attention.

This was very fatal in the entertainment industry where popular stars emerged one after another at that time. Maybe after just a month or two, the audience would completely forget about you.

For example, after Hu Bingqing became popular in "Tornado Girl", Jin Xi became popular after "Wuxin Master", and Chen Yao became popular after "Wuxin Master", they all faced a long-term window period.

When actors lack exposure, it is difficult to be replaced by newcomers in the entertainment industry.

Moreover, not participating in variety shows is not friendly to actors in attracting fans and showing their true personalities. This may also be the reason why actors in Sugar Man film and television do not attract enough fans.

When Xu Litao thought of this, he had to think of another regrettable film and television company - Zhouyi.

As a well-established company recognized in the industry, Zhouyi, which has always kept pace with Sugar Man, has disappeared due to problems with its operating model.

If Sugarman Film and Television wants to overcome all obstacles and go further, the most important thing is naturally the continuous updating of its operating model and the choice to keep pace with the times.

Otherwise, it will become the next Zhouyi.

The last point, and what Xu Litao thinks is the most important, is the change in the leadership of Sugar Man Film and Television.

Xu Litao remembered that since Cai Yinong handed over the management of Sugar Man Film and Television to her husband Wang Yi, Sugar Man began to decline.

I have to say that Cai Yinong does have a bit of a love brain.

Wang Yi was the former president of Sohu’s gaming business group, and he may be a professional in the gaming field.

But I have never been involved in the film and television industry, so managing a large film and television production company will inevitably make me uncomfortable.

And because more than 9% of Tang Dynasty's revenue comes from the production and distribution of film and television dramas, to put it bluntly, it makes money when the drama is popular, and loses when the drama is not popular.

Sugar Man Film and Television began to decline after Cai Yinong got married and retired, shifting her focus from career to family.

However, as long as Xu Litao takes over Sugar Man, he will not let such a thing happen. He has a large number of popular film and television scripts in his previous life.

It’s hard for him not to push Sugar Man to a new level, and even become the top film and television company in the country and even the world.

"Brother Xu, is this your company?"

Xu Litao took An Mengli back to the company, and An Mengli asked with excitement and novelty.

"Yes, Sister Li, I will give you a good tour later."

Xu Litao said with a smile. When the little girl at the front desk saw him coming, she quickly stood up and said hello:

"Hi boss!"

The little girl at the front desk was smiling like a flower. She had heard rumors in the company that the boss's secretary used to work at the front desk.

Because of her serious and careful work, she was valued by her boss and was immediately promoted to the boss's secretary.

Such an inspirational story made it difficult for her not to feel overwhelmed. She also wanted to be promoted one day, if she was favored by her boss.

That's not enough to soar into the sky, and his power is boundless.

Xu Litao smiled warmly at the front desk lady, feeling very satisfied.

The little girl at the front desk was immediately intoxicated when she saw Xu Litao's smile. The smile on her face became even brighter, but she was screaming in her heart.

"Ah! The boss is so handsome!"

"No, I'm going to faint!"

After receiving the news that Xu Litao was back, Li Mengmeng hurried over.

"boss."

"Mr. Zhou and the others are still there, right?"

Xu Litao asked, nodding gently to Li Mengmeng.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou and the others are still discussing what you told them."

Li Mengmeng stood aside respectfully and replied softly. Looking at An Mengli who was following Xu Litao, she was curious in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Well, I was just looking for them."

Xu Litao smiled, and then took An Mengli to the conference room.

"Come on, Sister Li, I will take you to meet the colleagues in our company."
