China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 426 The second season of "The Birth of a Director" and "Black Mirror II" set sail

"Director Chen Jingxing is 'making a big fuss' on Hong Kong Island! Trains are running rampant in the Central market! Several cranes are artificially raining on the entire street. Hong Kong Island residents and tourists are taking photos... Luo Chen, Chen Kun, Zhou Dongyu, Pan Yueming, Zhang Ruoyun and other stars are here

He was drowned in the 'heavy rain', and the story of the new work "Inception" became a mystery, arousing the curiosity of netizens..."

Zhang Jingyan used the remote control to turn down the sound of the TV hanging on the wall. Looking at Chen Jingxing who was sitting lazily opposite, she asked with some curiosity: "I heard that you had a conflict with Lin Xiaoxian of Media Asia Pictures in Hong Kong Island?

"

Zhang Jingyan can be regarded as someone who has witnessed Chen Jingxing's rapid rise. She has become the director of the online video operation department of Huanshi.com and she and Chen Jingxing are old acquaintances and friends, so they get along more comfortably.

In fact, she was able to be promoted rapidly within Huanshi.com within five years, and the purchase of real senior executives was also related to this.

Fantasy World has actively purchased outstanding shares since DreamWorks went public, and has now become the third largest shareholder after Netflix.

It’s very interesting to say that the stock price of DreamWorks has soared since its listing. It has doubled from the initial launch, becoming China’s first film and television stock with a market value of over 100 billion. This is also due to the continuous increase of holdings by several parties such as Fantasy World.

Even equity swaps are closely related.

Netflix, Fantasy World, Universal Pictures and Penguin Video are now the four major shareholders after Chen Jingxing, the three major domestic and foreign streaming media, a Hollywood giant, and DreamWorks has basically attracted all its most important partners.

Got on the boat.

As Chen Jingxing's best friend in Huanshi.com, it can be said that this relationship is Zhang Jingyan's promotion resource. This is one of the things that Huanshi.com's shareholders value about her.

Chen Jingxing looked indifferent: "It's not that exaggerated, it can't reach the level of conflict."

Fantasy World bought the other half of the copyright of "The Birth of a Director" from DreamWorks and is preparing to launch the second season of "The Director" and then cooperate with the new series of online movies "Black Mirror II" that will be broadcast soon.

A wave of members must take this opportunity to overwhelm Tencent Video and boost the stock price.

"The first is the issue of accent; the second is the issue of risk."

"But it's okay, I didn't think of a reason to refuse." After Chen Jingxing finished pouring out his bitter words, he did not hide his thoughts: "There is no need to cooperate between DreamWorks and Media Asia. I don't want to use stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan."

."

"I contacted Director Tian before, but he was unwilling."

Zhang Jingyan had to be betrayed by Lao Tian and Lao Chen. After all, the second season of "Director" can also be a good publicity for "Black Mirror II".

When the first season of "The Birth of a Director" was recorded and broadcast, Chen Jingxing had not yet won the Oscar, which Huanshi.com later deeply regretted. Otherwise, the sensational effect of the program would have been even greater.

Moreover, she, Zhang Jingyan, has also been involved in related accounts. Aren’t these executives just trying to make money by taking kickbacks, trading resources, or exchanging bodily fluids? Even if she becomes the president one day, she can’t control the situation of “everyone in Hongdong County”

"Good people" thing.

The difference is whether he has exposed his views on social platforms or in other public environments.

If the actor's problems affected DreamWorks or even Chen Jingxing's own film projects, he would be so depressed that he would vomit blood.

In other words, this itself is part of the promotion of "Black Mirror II". Of course, it can also be said that "Black Mirror II" is part of the promotion of the second season of "The Director".

"Why?" Zhang Jingyan is also a little curious. There are many Hong Kong and Taiwan actors in the entertainment industry. In addition to DreamWorks, other companies, including Fantasy World, have cooperated with Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. Even among the executives of film companies, streaming media, and media companies themselves,

There are quite a few people from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Wait a minute..." Chen Jingxing felt that the smile on Zhang Jingyan's face was a bit teasing: "Where did you hear the news? There is no color in the news you heard, right? Don't tell me that I and Lin Xiaoxian are jealous, right?"

Although Lin Xiaoxian and Chen Jingxing would definitely not leak the dispute that night, there were many second-generation rich people, Hong Kong stars and models present at the time, so this kind of thing could not be hidden, but they did not expect Zhang Jingyan to be so well-informed.

Hong Kong and Taiwan actors generally have serious accent problems. Whether they are unwilling to change or their accent is really difficult to change, in short, when using Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, they have to use dubbing.

More than a year has passed since the first season of "The Director" selected five young directors who shot "Black Mirror II". The playback volume of the first season of "The Director" is quite eye-catching, and its influence is even greater than the playback data.

To be honest, if this variety show doesn't film a second season, it will really be a financial problem.

Chen Jingxing does not think that the average moral level of Hong Kong artists is higher than that of mainland artists, or even lower. The entertainment circles in all countries are not clean, but there are always some countries and regions where the entertainment circles are particularly dirty. On Hong Kong Island

It is too difficult to avoid being stained by the muck in such an entertainment industry.

Of course, this is normal. There are indeed many Hong Kong and Taiwan talents in Hong Kong and Taiwan enterprises and media circles. People are willing to praise their own people. There is nothing to say. There are also resource people in the mainland. You praise people based on their kinship or exchanging body fluids, while others praise them based on their place of origin.

No one is more shameful than anyone else.

This is why Chen Jingxing prefers to use actors who are familiar, experienced, and knowledgeable. This risk is increasingly something that DreamWorks cannot ignore.

Huanshi.com has already selected fifth-generation director Chen Kaige, as well as Guo Xiaosi, who has produced well-known films such as "Tiny Times" and "Fantasy City".

Of course, this does not mean that mainland actors do not have these problems, but that Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are at greater risk, and due to various complex reasons, the younger generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan have almost universal problems in their political views.

Zhang Jingyan laughed at herself in her heart, ignored this meaningless topic to her, and asked: "How about it, Director Chen, please give me the right words. The price can be discussed."

Only a fast-growing company like DreamWorks, which has no historical baggage and is not short of money, can suppress these hidden rules as much as possible.

"grass!"

In addition to animations, DreamWorks' works, whether they are movies or TV series, all have original soundtracks. There is no reason to dub actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan specifically, unless you have irreplaceable commercial value, but do you really?

The older generation of superstars do have commercial value, but among the younger generation, there are many actors who do not have much national popularity or popularity in mainland China, but they can still get top endorsement resources and first-class film and television resources. It is said that it is not the case.

Who trusts resource coffee?

The industrial films he is making now are not the assembly line products produced by domestic streaming media. Things like cutting out pictures and changing faces are useless. The energy, manpower and resources consumed in reshooting are enough to make people's scalp numb.

After listening to this, Zhang Jingyan felt a little thoughtful. After all, Huanshi.com uses many Hong Kong and Taiwanese artists for its film and television dramas, and there are many Hong Kong and Taiwanese executives within the company.

Even if the average moral standards of the two are at the same level, the younger generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists have a common political debuff, which undoubtedly increases the risks of film and television dramas.

Even the Baodao accent that can be understood in mainland China can easily make people look awkward in movies. Can you imagine the male and female protagonists of "Gravity" and "The Martian" speaking with such accents?

Let alone girls, even if it is said by a straight man, it will make people think it is coquettish.

But DreamWorks itself has the ability to create stars, and no senior executives within it are from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and there is no need for investment from Hong Kong and Taiwan companies. Why do they use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors who need dubbing?

Secondly, the risk is higher. In several East Asian countries, society has stricter moral requirements for public figures. The academic qualifications of celebrities are no higher than ordinary people, and the average moral level is only lower than ordinary people. House collapse is inevitable.

"Forget it, in addition to "Inception", I am also working on a new script with the screenwriting team. I really don't have the time. Otherwise, Lao Tian has been following up on the post-production after filming "District 9". A few days ago

The film has just been edited and nothing happens."

Chen Jingxing sold Tian Xinye and Chen Sicheng without hesitation.

This time he came to Huanshi.com not only to communicate about the promotion of "Black Mirror II" which will be broadcast exclusively on Huanshi.com soon, but also to ask Zhang Jingyan, as an old friend, to express his emotions and reason.

Let him continue to participate in the recording of the second season of "The Birth of a Director".

"It's okay. I'll take care of it. I'll convince him. There's also Chen Sicheng. His "Tang Detective III" is also in post-production. Although he's filming a TV series again, it's not like he can't find time. He'll take care of it too.

, he and I are old classmates, I will definitely choose him for you."

Not to mention that Chen Jingxing really doesn’t have time, even if he does have time, he still feels numb. The program setting of Fantasy World Network, the judges and some so-called “director” contestants invited to participate are very topical, which really makes his scalp numb.

Ma, this is obviously to cause trouble, Chen Jingxing doesn't want to accompany him.

In the second season of "Director", since Chen Jingxing did not have the opportunity to film DreamWorks projects, in order to create a gimmick, the competition system was naturally changed to make it exciting and bloody.

Chen Jingxing explained the process again with laughter and laughter.

In addition to moral and legal collapse, there is also political collapse.

Media Asia Pictures' Lam Hsiao-hsien's reputation in Hong Kong is well known, and there are many tidbits about him being jealous of other young men.

Zhang Jingyan saw that Chen Jingxing didn't seem to be faking it, and was a little surprised: "Isn't it true?"

The best director at the Oscars serves as a judge. This arrangement is incredible. It is possible that there will be some "sparks" with the fifth-generation director Chen Kaige.

She originally thought this was due to the rapid rise of DreamWorks, but she didn't expect that there was another hidden reason?

However, even if you think Chen Jingxing's words are reasonable, you can't follow suit. After all, we are all colleagues, so what if they insert a few Hong Kong and Taiwan artists into the project?

The entertainment industry itself is full of unspoken rules. Isn't this a routine operation for Cypriots? Some are even designated by Hong Kong and Taiwan corporate sponsors and investors. It is a matter of course.

Of course, the judges are also very important. In addition to inviting a few celebrity actors to be judges - Chen Jingxing feels that Huanshi.com has some serious problems in inviting celebrities to be judges for director competition programs - naturally directors and judges are also needed to sit in.

Chen Jingxing got the answer from Zhang Jingyan's expression and continued to guess: "Don't have anything to do with that Xiao Ruochu..."

He would not feel sorry if bad dramas and bad movies produced by other companies and streaming media such as Fantasy World and Penguin Video were accidentally buried. DreamWorks pursues a high-quality strategy. The annual output is limited, but every work produced is produced

The cost and market potential are both huge.

There were still two directors to go, so I set my sights on Chen Jingxing.

In fact, Zhang Jingyan was quite satisfied. She also knew that she might not be able to invite Chen Jingxing, but it would be good if Chen Jingxing could invite Tian Xinye and Chen Sicheng.

But...by then Chen Jingxing will be the biggest unspoken rule, and he can use whoever he wants.

Tian Xinye's "The Walking Dead" has a great influence and has made him known to more audiences. The TV series "The Signal", the movie "The Mirage", and the web series "The Walking Dead" are quite impressive.

And he also established his image as a professional troll in the first season of "The Director".

Chen Sicheng is a well-known actor. The two films in the "Tang Detective" series have pushed him to the level of an outstanding young director comparable to Guo Fan. His talent is recognized by the public. He is also married to Tong Liya. In terms of popularity, he is definitely the director.

Among the top players, they are no worse than Chen Jingxing and Guo Xiaosi.

This lineup of judges is quite good. Zhang Jingyan has no doubt that Chen Jingxing can persuade these two people to participate in the show. There is an older generation Taishan Beidou and three young directors, and they are all influential figures among directors. Think about it, they have a great chemistry.
