That year Huayu

“At nine o’clock in the morning, the historical palace drama “The Royal Love in the Palace” held a large-scale media project launch event in Hall 1 of the Shanghai International Film Festival;

The president of New Classics Pictures appeared with director Wang Jun, screenwriter Wu Xuelan and other behind-the-scenes creative team. The drama has a huge investment amount and is the annual drama of New Classics...”

“The core leading actors of “The Royal Love in the Palace” were officially revealed to the public for the first time. The former “Princess Taiping” of the prosperous Tang Dynasty entered the Qing Palace for the first time after 15 years...

The top actress Zhou Xun will partner with Huo Jianhua, Zhang Junning, Tong Yao, Dong Jie, Xin Zhilei, Li Chun and other powerful actors to write the road of the heroine.”

“According to the media reports on the scene, although “The Royal Love in the Palace” has not started filming, it has already achieved Huge profits:

The drama is planned to be filmed in 90 episodes, and Jiangsu Satellite TV and Dragon TV have bought the first round of broadcast rights at a price of 3 million yuan per episode respectively. "

"According to Sina reporters from industry insiders, the exclusive online broadcast rights of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" have broken the domestic online broadcast copyright transaction record, and were recently acquired by Tudou.com at a high price of 9 million yuan per episode."

"With the first round broadcast rights, exclusive online broadcast rights, and the second, third rounds and overseas copyright sales, the final sales of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" are expected to exceed 1.5 billion yuan."

...

To be honest, the current TV drama market has developed into such a perverted state, which is indeed something that most people in the industry have never expected, and they never dared to imagine before.

But the fact is the fact, the film and television industry has already been like a wild horse that has run wild and can't be stopped.

Of course, a TV drama that can reach this level must be a big drama that truly attracts the attention of the entire network!

And "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is based on the shoulders of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and relies on an extremely luxurious cast and production team to achieve such sales results.

But we have to admit that the pre-sale results of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" are really a bit too scary. It has brought the TV drama market to a new height, and the industry can only cheer.

Lin Nan did hear Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun talk about it before, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so he didn't ask what drama it was.

After seeing the film and television information now, he realized that it was Zhou Xun's first Qing Dynasty drama!

So, after the TV series started, Zhou Xun's status in the crew was probably above everyone else, because her status was the biggest, far exceeding others and even the director!

In addition, Lin Nan himself was a little emotional, and Tudou's hand was really getting bigger and bigger;

But this is also a symbol of confidence and strength, and for Tudou, spending a huge amount of money to buy the exclusive online broadcast rights of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is definitely beneficial and harmless.

The news that Zhou Xun will star in a Qing Dynasty drama for the first time swept the entire film and television industry like a hurricane at the first time.

The most popular actress was not Fan Bingbing or Li Bingbing, but Zhang Ziyi, who had just attended the press conference for "The Last Romance" in Shanghai.

"Ziyi, the TV drama market is really booming now. The pay, popularity, and topics are far beyond what most movies can compare to.

Your status in the film industry has reached a peak. If you want to make a comeback, expand or break the shackles and go further...why don't we try TV dramas?"

The agent and assistant lobbied Zhang Ziyi again. They could see that Zhou Xun's starring role in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", a big IP with a big heroine, had a great impact on Zhang Ziyi.

"There are only a few big directors, and we have to win over the right heroines in their films... This is really too difficult.

And Ziyi, don't Zhou Xun and Fan Bingbing have both movies and TV series?

Liu Yifei also started with TV series and accumulated unparalleled national popularity after a few TV series. Later, with the help of Director Lin, she gradually made it to Hollywood..."

"Yes, the popularity of TV series can last for many, many years. I lack the popularity of grassroots audiences... TV series accumulate the grassroots market, and movies establish the status and height."

Zhang Ziyi's voice abruptly interrupted the agent's words. The latter and the assistant were immediately startled. Did they do ideological work?

"Ziyi?"

"Sister Ziyi?"

"I have roughly scanned the scripts handed to the studio by the circle several times, but none of them are acceptable.

We cannot give up on the film side, and continue to look for resources. My base is in the film industry. I was born to act in movies. This is what Director Zhang and Director Li said.

Also... TV series, look for it in the entire industry. It must be a heroine type, a heroine's perspective, a heroine!

If there is no suitable script, then dig it out from those novels. We can even invest and produce it ourselves, starting from the script... tailor-made!"

Zhang Ziyi closed her eyes and made a decision.

"Okay, we will start screening after we come down."

The agent and assistant are undoubtedly the most excited. "International Zhang" comes down to earth to act in a TV series. This is a huge gimmick!

"Be low-key and keep it secret. I don't want to let everyone know before it is decided."

"It's okay, don't worry, Ziyi (Sister Ziyi)."

...

It was close to noon when Liu Yifei and Shu Chang came back to support the show.

Lin Nan did not join them. He was attending the "International Film Market Exchange Conference" hosted by the Film Bureau. There was also a luncheon after the exchange.

"Isn't it strange? Zhang Zhao from LeTV was still there in the first half, but after the halftime break, he just disappeared in the second half? Even the originally scheduled speech session was cancelled!"

Wang Changtian ran up to Lin Nan with a plate, who was sending messages to Liu Yifei. The girls went to eat seafood, and they really enjoyed it.

"Aren't you there? I didn't pay attention." Lin Nan subconsciously scanned the lunch venue. There were many people and it was difficult to find anyone.

"During the meeting, you were distracted reading the news. It would be strange if you noticed it. Just now, people from Universal Pictures were asking the director why he didn't see Zhang Zhao."

The seats and lights of LeTV were next to each other. Zhang Zhao left the show midway, and Wang Changtian was naturally the first to notice.

"Maybe there is something serious. Why are you worrying about this?" Lin Nan ended the chat with Liu Yifei and did not interrupt the "battle" between them and the seafood.

"Business? What business can make all the executives from LeTV who came to the Shanghai International Film Festival leave together? They just said hello to Director La, and didn't even say the reason!"

Wang Changtian lowered his voice, and there was a hint of "excitement" in his gossipy tone. Everyone is a big asset in the industry, and no one has an insensitive sense of smell.

"What?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan also realized the problem, LeTV's problem.

"Director Wang, curiosity will kill the cat. Maybe we are dazzled and no one from LeTV came to the exchange meeting today?" Lin Nan, Acting School, came online.

"Huh? Well, I must have seen it wrong. Next to me are Zhang Qiang from Alibaba Pictures and Wang Zhonglei from Huayi."

Wang Changtian, a talented person, immediately understood the meaning of Lin Nan's words and nodded in affirmation. But the last word came out of his mouth in a lower voice: "It shouldn't be a trivial matter, right?"

…

On the morning of the 16th, a large number of celebrities who came for the Shanghai International Film Festival got up early and were very motivated and walked on the red carpet.

Because Disney has sent invitations to the entire film and television industry and even many European and American stars, inviting everyone to participate in the opening ceremony of the Magic City Disneyland and the first day of sightseeing.

Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Han Jianu, Zhou Xun, Tang Yan, Shen Jiani, in short, these women had planned to go play early in the morning.

And it seems that there are quite a few actresses from the mainland coming to support the show.

Because Director Lin Da, Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen, who were responsible for carrying bags and playing with them, met many acquaintances not long after entering the park, the scene became very embarrassing for a time.

Looking at Huang Xiaoming again, I feel that his eyes never leave Yang Ying, as if he is afraid of bumping into her. He is simply a good Chinese husband.

"No one in the circle can match your play skills."

Huang Jiaozhi smiled pointedly, glancing at the camera hanging on Lin Nan's chest intentionally or unintentionally.

"This kind of treatment is only what their producer Liu can enjoy. The most we can do is take a group photo." Zhou Xun, wearing a sun hat and big sunglasses, joked from the side.

"It's good that you know. Let's break up now, shall we? Let's have dinner together at the theme hotel at noon while everyone has their own fun?"

Lin Nan took Miss Liu's hand and suggested with a group of "light bulbs".

"Okay, I know you want to accompany your 'Princess Sissi' to the castle, so let's not disturb you." Han Jianu rolled her eyes and complained.

"Oh, it's such a big place, it would be a waste of time to go together. Let's share our experiences of our travels after we meet up at noon, bye~~"

Liu Yifei smiled playfully, took Lin Nan's hand and headed in one direction.

The group of people immediately dispersed. Well, Han Jia'er and Shu Chang led their assistants to Disney Town.

"Why do I think you just seemed to have something to say to Director Lin?"

Yang Ying, who was wearing a denim skirt with suspenders, shook Huang Xiaoming's hand and asked. Their assistants and bodyguards followed dutifully.

Huang Xiaoming did not deny it, but nodded with a smile and explained:

""Ancient Love Song" will be finished in the middle of next month, and Sunshine at Noon is about to start the "Nirvana in Fire 2" project. I have some ideas about this drama."

""Nirvana in Fire" is a hot IP. The second part is definitely a good project. I support you!" After hearing this, Yang Ying's eyes lit up for a moment.

"Well, I'll go back and contact the Noon Sunshine side. I think based on my conditions, there shouldn't be any problems with Producer Hou. Just now, I just wanted to say hello to Director Lin in advance, just in case.

Okay, I’ll have a nice walk with you today. After the film festival is over, you can quickly go back to the set. We can't be too arrogant and let the crew have opinions. "

"Who among them dares to have an opinion? I am Mrs. Huang, haha..."

…

In the room of the hotel where Huayi stayed.

Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Feng Xiaogang and others are all there, as well as Wu Yifan, who has been plagued by "negative news" recently, and his mother is also there.

"We will all go there to support you tonight. You don't have to worry about anything, it's all trivial."

"Yes, it's all a trivial matter." Wang Zhonglei took over Wang Zhongjun's words and smiled.

"Thank you so much, Director Wang, Mr. Wang and Director Feng. Where are you?" Wu Xiuqin thanked her quickly and asked with some worry.

"Since it can be signed, there must be preparations over there, and Jackie Chan will probably speak out tonight."

Feng Xiaogang nodded and said confidently.
