Rebirth Starts From 2006

,!

As a cultural company that focuses on investment and production of films, TV dramas and variety shows, if it does not have a masterpiece of its own, it will definitely not be accepted from the bottom of its heart by its peers.

This is the so-called professionalism, which can be applied to any industry.

Since Damai Culture was founded one year ago, it has participated in dozens of investment and production projects, most of which are projects led by other companies, and there are also some self-owned projects, but not many.

Moreover, most of these projects have either just been established recently or are still under development.

For example, the two films that were approved because of Boss Chen's personal intervention, "The Piano of Steel" and "Mr. Tree", as well as "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" that Wu Jing is currently filming,

At present, this is the only one that can really be regarded as produced by Damai and has appeared on the screen.

For this TV series, Damai purchased the copyright, invested independently, found production partners, finalized the director and starring roles, and contacted the broadcasting platform.

From beginning to end, it was all done by Damai.

For such a project, no one dares to say that it is not a project produced by Damai.

It just so happened that this first independent project became an instant hit. From the first day of broadcast, the ratings have been rising steadily, and it has the potential to become a phenomenon-level TV series. How could Liu Hongbo not be overjoyed.

Looking at Liu Hongbo who couldn't help but be happy, Chen Yang couldn't help but grinned.

Naturally, he knew how popular "Latent" can be. Later, when all the spy dramas were ranked on the Internet, this drama was ranked in the top five no matter how it was ranked. It was just due to personal preference that the ranking was higher or lower.

This time, he found the original screenwriter and the original director, and even the leading actors were mostly the original actors.

At that time, Damai Culture didn't have its own artists, so it didn't get a single role. Only Wu Jing had a small guest role in it.

Without changing the screenwriter, director and starring actors, the final effect is definitely not much different from the original version.

However, he has never seen this version of "Latent".

During the Chinese New Year at home, he would either eat and drink to pay New Year greetings or play mahjong every day. Even if he had some free time, he would give it to Zhou Xian. The LCD flat-screen TV at home was always on, and the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV was always playing. No one was watching. No matter how many people were in the living room, they were just doing what they were supposed to do.

Who watches TV during the Chinese New Year!

So when Liu Hongbo said this, he couldn't help but be a little curious, "Is this drama very popular?"

"Not only is it very popular, it is simply too popular!"

Liu Hongbo patted his thigh and said with excitement, "The TV has only been broadcast for three days, and there is an entry for 'Yu Zecheng' on Qiandu, as well as Weibo and Tieba..."

From Lao Hong's eloquent words, Chen Yang could tell a little bit that this film was really popular. Even during the special period of the Chinese New Year, hundreds of thousands of videos appeared on the Internet in just a few days. Posts, the Weibo popularity list also broke into the top 20. It is only a matter of time before it breaks into the top 10.

It’s great if it becomes popular. After it becomes popular, Damai Culture’s voice will become louder in the industry.

In the past, I used money to throw money at people. Who knows if those big directors and small bosses who supported him to his face scolded him behind his back for taking advantage of him?

From now on, Damai can straighten his back and let his works speak for himself.

We will wait for the release of several other dramas currently in production to consolidate the status of Damai Culture. Only in this way can Damai truly gain a firm foothold in the entire entertainment landscape and become the leader in the domestic film and television industry.

After chatting for a while, Liu Hongbo naturally turned the topic to other projects of the company.

"Both "The Piano of Steel" and "Mr. Tree" are being filmed, and the progress is pretty good, so the crew gave everyone a few days off during the Chinese New Year, and resumed work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."

"Resumption of work on the sixth day of the new year?"

Chen Yang blinked and pointed in the direction of the practice room next to him, "What's going on?"

Among these two dramas, "The Piano of Steel" has Yaya playing the leading role, and "Mr. Tree" also stars Wang Zhi and Xin Yue. The crew has resumed work, so what are they still doing here?

When the boss asked about this, Xia Yumeng, who was sitting next to him, immediately said, "That's right, the director is filming the group scenes first, and the important scenes will be filmed later. During this period, Yaya and the others will stay in Beijing temporarily. Jin, please ask teachers from China National Theater to give them targeted lectures,"

After a pause, she smiled again, "This method is indeed very good. Both directors are very satisfied with their performances, but it is a bit laborious for the teacher."

"Oh, I see,"

Chen Yang suddenly nodded, pondered for two seconds, and then said, "I'm a layman, so I'll just speak some layman language. If it's wrong, you don't have to listen."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hongbo and Xia Yumeng immediately made a listening gesture.

Chen Yang looked at the two people and said seriously, "I heard that in order to get into the role, a good actor will follow the crew from beginning to end to understand and figure out other people's roles, because the movie is a whole. If the actor's performance cannot be Properly integrated into the whole, it will make the audience feel abrupt.

I don’t know if this statement is correct. If you think it makes sense, and the actors have nothing else to do, you might as well arrange for them to follow the group from beginning to end.

Of course, I will analyze specific issues in detail, and I will just give you an idea. "

When an employee makes a suggestion, it is just a suggestion. When the boss puts forward an idea, if anyone really treats it as just an idea, then he or she is about to get out.

Liu Hongbo and Xia Yumeng looked at each other and said sternly, "What you are talking about is indeed true, and especially in big dramas, whether it is a movie or a TV series, many directors will ask actors to stay on the set permanently, which is more conducive to integrating into the role."

Then he explained weakly, "Unless the director says that some unimportant scenes can be omitted, then there is no need for the actors to spend time there,"

Then he expressed his importance to the boss's suggestion, "However, I think that young actors like Yaya and others who do not have rich acting qualifications and whose acting skills are not outstanding might as well stay in the crew and learn more from the director and other actors. "

Then he turned to look at Xia Yumeng, "You think so, Mr. Xia?"

Xia Yumeng immediately expressed his affirmative attitude, "That's true,"

After a pause, she continued, "Training soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while. No matter how good the teacher is, you will have to go to the battlefield in the end, so why not?"

She looked at Liu Hongbo again, "You want them to join the group tomorrow?"

Liu Hongbo nodded immediately, "I think it's okay!"

Seeing that the two of them were on the right track, Boss Chen smiled with satisfaction.

In fact, he doesn’t have to drive the little girls in his company out to suffer. What is the main reason? Since Damai Culture wants to create an industry benchmark, it must set standards everywhere.

This standard is not only within the play, but also includes some things outside the play.

For example, the well-made Fu Hua Dao, and another example, the actors who are dedicated to their duties!

He doesn't want the bad habits that may appear in the future to spread to his own artists just because he doesn't meet the requirements for actors.

When that time comes, no matter how much resources the company invests in artists, they will never say anything to educate them about the ban.

Of course, planning ahead is the most appropriate choice. Establishing good behavioral habits in advance will be of great benefit to both the artist and the company.

After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Boss Chen let out a breath of hot air, looked at Liu Hongbo and said, "You continue."

"yes,"

Liu Hongbo quickly adjusted his posture, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then continued, "The cooperation with CCTV went very smoothly, and the cooperation with other film and television companies was also done step by step.

correct,"

He raised his head and looked at Chen Yang, then at Zou Rong, and said with a chuckle, "The play you guys are guest-starring in is planned to be broadcast on CCTV 1 in April. Director Zhao said that that scene He didn’t cut a single frame, it’s wonderful, you can watch it when the time comes.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, "Oh, let's just go into the restaurant and have a meal. What a wonderful thing."

Zou Rong also laughed happily. When she was electrocuted, it still felt a bit fresh, but after so long, she really didn't take it to heart.

In Chen Yang's words, it's just a guest scene in a restaurant ordering food. How exciting can it be? !

Seeing that neither the boss nor the landlady cared much about it, Liu Hongbo knew that he was being flattered, and immediately responded with a smile, and then changed the subject, "Besides these, the three variety shows we recorded for Jackson , it is also planned to be released on CCTV, Mango Channel and Tomato Channel next month."

"Um?"

Chen Yang was stunned, looked at him and asked, "Isn't there two programs? Why is there another one? And the TV station and CCTV have finalized the matter. Why do you regret it again?"

Liu Hongbo quickly said, "It's not that CCTV regrets, it's mainly about this."

He smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "For these three variety shows, I heard that several leaders came to Zhao Tai. Even Zhao Tai couldn't resist it, so he had to take the initiative to withdraw from one of the shows, and then he stayed. The first stall is on the central stage.

As for the other extra program, it is actually the Jackson China Tour program we produced using the behind-the-scenes of those two variety shows. Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a variety show, but it is a bit like a documentary. "

Chen Yang blinked, "Is it that exaggerated?"

It's just two programs, but even Zhao TV can't handle it?

"It's really not an exaggeration at all,"

Xia Yumeng also said on the side, "Everyone knows how much traffic Jackson has, let alone us practitioners. For these two programs, several top local stations are like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, and some even quit. All retired old leaders were invited out just to get a head start on the soup.

Also, during the production process, I also had a lot of headaches. Even though you had already set the rules before, how many people will be in each issue and who will be from which company are all arranged in advance.

But when it came to filming, there were still many people calling me, just hoping to be more open-minded, even if their artists could pretend to be passers-by, as long as they could show their faces in the camera. "

"Well,"

Chen Yang opened his mouth and asked, "Is this okay?"

"is not that right,"

Xia Yumeng covered her face and said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "But how dare I really let them be passers-by? What they dare to promote is either a singer or a movie star. They all have a fan base. If they really want to be seen by the audience who like them, then what? Aren’t you going to make a huge noise?”

"That's true,"

Chen Yang picked up the tea cup again, pursed his lips and said, "Not everyone likes Jackson, but some people like our own actors. If I saw Hua Zai Fa Ge as a backdrop for others, I would also go crazy."

After hearing this, Liu Hongbo and Xia Yumeng immediately looked at each other, and they both smiled slightly at the same time.

I understand, the boss likes Wa Jai ​​and Fa Ge,

arrange!

Boss Chen, who was drinking water, did not notice the small movements of his subordinates. After putting down the tea cup, he said with a chuckle,

"It seems that I shouldn't let Jackson go back. If I can keep him for two more months, maybe we can put on a few more variety shows, or it would be good to let him play a supporting role in our drama."

Just a few days ago on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jackson, who had been playing for nearly four months, finally returned to the United States on a special plane. Over there, Di Lao had completed the preparations for the American version of the cultural tour variety show, and he had to rush back to record the show. , otherwise, God knows how long he can play.

When Liu Hongbo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he cried sadly, "Boss, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

If you really want to ask Jackson to appear in a TV show or movie invested by the company, it would be such a huge publicity!

It's a pity that he didn't think of this before. This was really a huge mistake.

As a result, Boss Chen shrugged nonchalantly, looked at him and said with a smile, "What's the point of telling him earlier? Do you have a role suitable for him?"

"Boss, you don't know something right now,"

Liu Hongbo came closer and said in a mysterious manner, "This script can be changed. If you want Jackson to star in the play, the screenwriter will immediately change the script, and he will be 100% happy.

It's just like lurking, but with the addition of intelligence transactions with the Americans, wouldn't it be a natural connection? "

Boss Chen was stunned, "Can this still happen?!"

Xia Yumeng nodded very seriously on the side, "As long as the operation is reasonable, everything is possible!"

Yes, life is like a drama, but I am still too naive.

Boss Chen touched his head, pursed his lips and nodded gently, "I understand, I'll catch him and start working next time!"

Needless to say, just because Jackson stayed at his grandma's house for two months, he had to pay for the room and board!

After making a little joke, Liu Hongbo continued to report on his work.

There's nothing to say about the rest, it's just a matter of routine, and Boss Chen can just listen to it.

After Liu Hongbo and Xia Yumeng finished talking, Chen Yang talked about the purpose of his visit today.

"Have you received any notice from Mr. Qin?"

"have,"

Liu Hongbo nodded immediately and said, "Mr. Qin sent us a notice through Mr. Huang, saying that Damai Video, an online broadcast platform, will work with foreign video websites to hold a large-scale global event.

Is this what you're talking about? "
