Millennium director

Although it was just oral, the program flow of "Longing for Life" proposed by Wu Yuan was already very mature.

After all, this is the best slow variety show in China and the one with the most seasons.

Li Xiaoping, who had studied slow variety shows because of "Three Meals a Day", could easily understand Wu Yuan's ideas and was amazed by his ideas.

China really needs such a variety show.

Perhaps ten years ago, such a show would be considered boring, tasteless and uninteresting, because the level of urban modernization in China was not enough at that time. Except for a few big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, other cities did not have too much life pressure and work pressure.

But now it is different. As China's national strength is getting higher and higher, and its GDP has even become the world's first country, the pressure of modern society is also increasing day by day. Urban modernization has made most young people living in cities not know what "countryside" is.

At this time, a variety show that experiences life in the countryside and slows down will definitely have a market.

"I understand." Li Xiaoping kept Wu Yuan's statement in mind and planned to instruct the variety show department to start preparing for "Longing for Life" according to Wu Yuan's ideas.

And that Peng Peng must also be squeezed into this program as a permanent guest.

Well, in Li Xiaoping's understanding, Wu Yuan specifically pointed him out, which meant that he wanted to promote him, and Li Xiaoping naturally had no objection.

As the male lead of "Ready Player One", Peng Peng should indeed receive more resources and support from the company, and he should naturally become the pillar of the company's male artists in the next stage.

"Okay, there should be nothing else now, right?" Wu Yuan asked helplessly, and only after Li Xiaoping nodded did he stand up for the third time and finally left Li Xiaoping's office.

A month later, September 1, 2015.

As time came to the summer vacation, many movies invested by Guangying Times were released in this summer season. Among them, there were many works that Wu Yuan was familiar with, and there were also many movies that he didn't know were produced because of his appearance.

With Wu Yuan founding the film company Light and Shadow Times and developing it into the leader of China's film and television industry, China's film industry has undergone a great change.

With the addition of such a large film and television company, the current mainland film industry cannot be the same as Wu Yuan's dream.

Some movies that may have been overlooked in the original time and space because of the lack of investment have been filmed because of the emergence of the wealthy Light and Shadow Times.

These are projects led by Li Xiaoping and the company's investment department. Wu Yuan has never intervened at all, although he himself does not know whether these movies will achieve good results.

But a large film and television company with a liquidity of several billion yuan cannot rely on him alone to provide scripts or point out investment directions.

No matter how good he is, how many scripts can he copy and how many movies can he point out in a year?

In fact, in the current Light and Shadow Times, the movies invested and produced by Li Xiaoping and the investment department are the mainstream. Wu Yuan personally arranges investment or takes out scripts to shoot movies, and there are only one or two movies a year.

In fact, when a film and television company is large enough, as long as the operation is healthy, it is actually not important whether there is a little benefit of foresight.

Just like the Big Six in Hollywood, they don't have Wu Yuan's "vision", but they can still flourish for decades and swallow up countless other film and television companies, big and small, relying on a good system and huge capital power.

In the current Light and Shadow Era, after Wu Yuan took advantage of his foresight to develop into a large film and television company, he has fully aligned himself with the Big Six in Hollywood, learned their investment review system, and has his own set of traffic light systems. Only films that have passed the review and judgment of the investment department can be approved for production.

For example, this summer, there are as many as five films that Light and Shadow Era participated in the investment and main investment.

Among them are the new film "Everything Grows" by mainland female film director Li Yu, the Sino-Korean co-production film "Back to 20", Er Dongsheng's film "I'm a Passerby", and the youth film "Those Flowers" shot by a new director discovered by the company, as well as the film "City of Love" by director Wen Muye in the second phase of the company's youth support plan.

The performance of these five films is good and bad. There is "Everything Grows" that Wu Yuan is very familiar with, and "Those Flowers" that Wu Yuan has never heard of.

These are all movies invested and filmed by Li Xiaoping and the company's investment department. They are movies that have passed the red-green-light system review and have made money at the box office.

The worst performing of the five movies, "Love in the City", only had a box office of 50 million, but the cost was 20 million, so it was a small loss. The other four movies were all above the loss line.

The best box office results were "Everything Grows" and "Back to 20", which together brought the company hundreds of millions of net profits.

Wu Yuan was very pleased that the company could invest in good movies without his involvement and had professional investment vision, which meant that even if he lost his vision in the future, the company would not fall into a loss dilemma.

This made Wu Yuan, who was more or less anxious recently because time was getting closer to the node of waking up from his dream, relax a lot.

He came to the company less and less, and intervened less and less in the film investment plans of Li Xiaoping and the company's investment department. Unless they came to Wu Yuan with the script, he would give some suggestions based on his memory, just like that. Like "Manslaughter" and "Longing for Life".

At other times, he almost no longer provides scripts or guides Li Xiaoping to invest in a certain movie.

This is also to prepare the company for "independence" in the future.

Of course, it's a bit far to mention these now. The most important thing in the current light and shadow era is to do a good job in promoting the release of "Riding the Wind".

As time enters September, "Riding the Wind" has also entered the countdown to its release.

In less than a month, this New Year's film to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the victory over France will be released on a large scale across the country.

"Riding the Wind" is a 2D feature film, not even IMAX. It is a film that can be screened on ordinary big screens. In order to be screened in more lower-tier markets, including the vast fourth- and fifth-tier cities and lower counties. level administrative district.

The General Administration has made up its mind to prepare the best film schedule for "Riding the Wind". On the day of the premiere, it must ensure that every cinema in the country has a film schedule for this movie!

Although this does not count as the use of administrative power for promotion, it is foreseeable that on this year’s National Day, even if there is no special notice from above, staff and administrative personnel from major state-owned and administrative departments, from provinces and cities to counties and towns , will spontaneously go to the cinema to watch this movie.

The release of "Riding the Wind" is destined to create a huge box office! (End of chapter)
