American Fortune Life

"Since the 1980s, with the development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, TV as a way of cultural consumption has widely penetrated into daily life. TV dramas have become an important presence in the public cultural space.

According to available data, among a population of 1.3 billion, the total number of viewers of TV and cable TV has reached 900 million, accounting for more than 80% of the total population.

Since 2000, China's TV dramas have continued to grow at a rate of 1,000 episodes per year. In 2007, it achieved three world firsts in annual TV drama production, annual broadcast volume and total audience. By this year, the market size of Tianchao TV series is expected to reach 10.8 billion US dollars.

However, for a long time there has been a problem in the TV drama market of "the overall supply exceeds demand, but high-quality film sources are scarce and distribution channels are relatively limited". High-quality IP, open up the monetization channels of TV dramas and movies. On the other hand, the development of the Internet, especially the future mobile Internet, allows TV dramas to get rid of their original platform attributes, increasing the possibility and feasibility of their expansion, and cross-border cooperation with video websites.

Since the beginning of this year, Chinese TV dramas have been in full swing. From spy movies to nostalgic movies based on literature and art, to majestic historical blockbusters, and new generation idol dramas that are not far behind. Excellent TV dramas from all walks of life have been released continuously, presenting a gluttonous feast to Chinese audiences time and time again.

I want to introduce the production methods and experience of American dramas to create high-quality local dramas in China, so that the Beijing branch of Universal Pictures can be truly localized. . . "

Facing Andy's question, Zhao Zicheng pondered his words and began to explain his own reasons. As a senior person in the entertainment circle, he is very familiar with the situation in the Tianchao entertainment circle.

In 2009, the Chinese film market was still in the recovery stage. Although it has achieved considerable development, it will take some time before it explodes. However, in China, TV dramas are the most popular form of entertainment for ordinary people. After all, regardless of the distribution scale of movie theaters, The ticket price is still not low, which is a constraint, especially, except for the new generation of young people, Chinese people do not have that kind of movie-watching habit.

Chinese people are more accustomed to turning on the TV when they get home.

Andy is also very clear about these situations. After listening to Zhao Zicheng's explanation, he nodded in agreement, looked at Zhao Zicheng with a faint smile and said: "It seems that you are really hardworking, very good, you boldly let go, the most important thing The most important thing is the localized operation of the company, don’t think that you are a foreign company, if you can, cooperate with Tang Dynasty Film and Television.”

"Understood, boss, I will not let you down." As soon as Zhao Zicheng heard this, he understood that he already had the support of the big boss, so that he could implement his plan with confidence.

"The Universal Studios thing,

You also have to pay more attention, the team that came this time is not very familiar with many situations in Tianchao, there are some things. . . "Andy said, pointing his finger and said: "They may not be able to turn around and think about problems, you should pay more attention. "

"Okay, boss." Zhao Zicheng's eyes couldn't help but brighten up. It is definitely a surprise for him to have a place in the super project of Universal Studios. Although he can't reach out to get benefits, but for him in all aspects, And the expansion of contacts and influence is a godsend opportunity.

"Okay, it's okay..." Andy continued to bask in the sun with his eyes closed, and said lightly.

"Then, boss, tonight's movie..."

"Look at the arrangement, low-key is the most important thing."

"Okay, then, boss, you rest first, I won't bother you, I'll call you at night."

Andy didn't open his eyes, but raised his hand and waved it.

. . . . . .

In the dark movie theater, Andy was sitting in the last row, his fists clenched, his face gloomy, his eyes were full of anger looking at the screen where the movie was playing, and Zhao Zicheng, who was by his side, had the same ugly expression at this time, but What's more, it's the depression and apprehension that keep pouring out of his heart, because he noticed that his boss doesn't like this movie very much.

It wasn't the sound of some spectators weeping softly, Zhao Zicheng, through the ever-changing lights and shadows, saw that his boss's handsome side face had become frost-like.

"Let's go, there's no need to read..."

Andy glanced sharply at the light and shadow on the curtain, stood up directly, and walked out of the theater quickly. As soon as he moved, the bodyguards around him immediately got up and followed quickly. Zhao Zicheng also hurriedly followed superior.

Under the night of the brightly lit capital city, the convoy slowly drove back to the courtyard. In the carriage, Andy turned his head to look at the street scene outside the car window with a sinking face. He was speechless for a long time. What went wrong that made the big boss so angry.

"... Former US President Franklin Roosevelt once said, "The foot basin people are the most despicable and shameless people I have ever seen.

Theodore House, Germany's first federal president after World War II, also said, "...German soldiers did not pose as victors after the occupation, but lived in peace and harmony with the citizens of Paris. What is shocking is that during the same period, the Jiaopen people slaughtered unarmed women and children in the Celestial Dynasty recklessly, and the Jiaopen people had to kill the last Celestial Dynasty before they were willing."

French President Charles de Gaulle commented on Japan: "Footpan, this is a sinister and cunning cruel nation. It will be bitten by it, and there is no chance of survival."

The tragic history, black and white pictures, and tragic music all reflect the harm that the massacre did to the country and the nation. . . "

Andy looked at Zhao Zicheng with sharp and bright eyes, and said with a sinking face. Zhao Zicheng also nodded with a heavy expression. This is why he felt shocked after watching many movies, and made the decision to buy the copyright Decide.

"but..."

Hearing this, but Zhao Zicheng's heart skipped a beat. He looked at his boss, waiting for the turning point.

"The director of this movie, PG is sitting crookedly. Even the western world knows that the foot basin is a cruel nation. It kills people at every turn and commits suicide at every turn. It doesn't take your own life at heart, let alone the lives of others The nation, but in order to reflect what kind of conscience, has become a footbath soldier's road to salvation!

Maybe it was really to express humanity, or maybe it was just for the sake of being recognized by Western film awards, but this way of expression is unacceptable!

this movie. . . . . . "

Andy frowned, and tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers. After a short pause, he said in a calm tone: "I don't like it, so be it."

Zhao Zicheng, who was still apprehensive at first, was a bit pale when he heard what his boss said. After thinking about it, he also reacted. No wonder he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart while being shocked by the picture. Now Come to think of it, the plot expression has many strange aspects.

Hearing Andy's last words, Zhao Zicheng smiled wryly, knowing that the movie was directly sentenced to death. . .
