Chapter 589: Hundred Flowers Award Winner? "Sister Zhao" Wants to Be the Queen of the Small Screen
"Boss Wei, this is Mr. Li Fei from Times Junfeng. TS Boys was promoted by their company."
A celebration like this is not just a celebration. In addition to announcing some things, it is also a platform for communication. Everyone can expand their network and even reach some cooperation.
Especially platforms like PPTV have become one of the new centers of the future entertainment industry. Some companies and artists come to curry favor with them.
Wei Yang chatted with the shareholders. Just after eating a few mouthfuls of food, a steady stream of people came to visit.
Most of those who dared to come to visit were basically led by PPTV executives, which also showed that they were all partners or potential partners, so they could chat with Boss Wei.
For example, Shidai Junfeng was brought to see Boss Wei because its artists participated in PPTV's variety shows and dramas and had a relationship with the same executive.
"Boss Li, right? I have heard of you for a long time. Domestic idols are unique in your company."
Boss Wei shook hands with Li Fei very respectfully. The latter did not expect that Boss Wei actually knew him and was a little flattered.
"Mr. Wei, you are too kind."
"It's not a compliment. Some of your company's advanced experience should indeed be learned by Blue Whale and Coral."
In fact, the man with glasses himself didn't know that Wei Yang knew him better than he thought.
Although the two met for the first time, they actually had dealings in their previous life, and Li Fei left a deep impression on Wei Yang.
Compared to the so-called [idol godmother] Du Hua or [talent show godmother] Long Danni, Li Fei is not as famous as these two in the public level, but he is well-known in the fan circle.
Known as the most profitable boss in the entertainment industry, he is crazy about fans and can be said to be the main promoter of the fan circle economy.
In the past few years, when the idol traffic era had not yet arrived, fans provided more popularity, and normal fans could not actually spend too much real money.
Actors basically support movie tickets, or buy some photos, magazines, posters or endorsement products, etc., mainly based on film remuneration and advertising, and the money earned from fans is not much.
Singers may be more complicated. In addition to photo magazines, there are also albums and concerts, etc. Fans contribute more, but they still do not account for an absolute proportion.
But when the era of traffic idols came, the situation was obviously different. The proportion of income accounted for by fans of some idol artists became higher and higher.
Even many idol artists simply became fans who spent money to support them!
So the freedom and confidence of these idol artists are far less than before, because they are soft-hearted when taking other people's money. Fans have spent so much money, so of course they have to listen to fans.
In addition to normal operations and packaging artists, the agency of idol artists also began to work hard on fans according to market changes, and took advantage of them in various ways.
Li Fei is one of the best!
Ordinary buying albums, hitting the charts, competing for the first place, and releasing peripherals are all small operations. He built a website, set some thresholds for voting and spending money, and required fans to become members.
For example, if you want to buy a boutique album, sorry, you have to become a member first, and you can only buy it if you have a membership. If you want to buy a best-selling album, sorry, you have to become an annual meeting member.
Spend money to buy an opportunity to spend money, you can say whether they are awesome or not!
What's more amazing is that although these terms have made Li Fei's ancestors' graves smoke black smoke, the fans still have to rush. It is said that even if Shidai Junfeng did nothing during its peak period, these memberships alone could earn tens of millions.
In short, his various operations stunned Boss Wei after he learned about it.
On the one hand, he was surprised at the madness of the fan circle, and on the other hand, he was surprised at Li Fei's black heart and genius in making money.
To be honest, when Wei Yang saw Li Fei at this time, he couldn't help but want to poach him.
But the possibility is too low. On the one hand, he is the boss of Shidai Junfeng, and the company is developing well, so there is no need for him to work.
On the other hand, this guy's way of making money is too ugly. Although Boss Wei also wants to make money, he still has to save face. Poaching him will easily ruin the reputation of Blue Whale.
But Wei Yang still talked to him to see if he could get some inspiration for making money.
How to say it, sometimes people are too honest, their thoughts have not broken through the bottom line, and they can't think of some crazy ways to make money, so they have to learn from such people, and then use them with a few discounts.
At the same time, communicating more with these people can also improve the evaluation of self-morality and eliminate some unnecessary psychological burdens.
I thought I was a beast, but compared with these people, I am simply a saint.
After sending Li Fei away, Boss Wei fell into deep thought. It was only when Zhao Liying came over curiously and asked him a question that he talked about his ideas, and then he was full of emotion.
"I heard that this guy learned many models from the Japanese Johnny's Office. Think about his peers in Japan and South Korea. The two brothers of the Wang family of Huayi can become models of charity."
Really, the domestic environment is too "relaxed" for artists. Only Japan and South Korea can call it [exploitation].
These bosses in China have become rich too quickly and lack of foundation. The domestic market is large enough, resulting in insufficient internal circulation and too rough "exploitation" methods.
Zhao Liying couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard this: "If you are envious, just follow me. In the future, you will either be hanging on street lamps or wearing a big hat. I will bring you food then."
"What are you talking about? When did I envy you? I was denouncing the ugly and dirty capitalism."
Wei Yang immediately drew a line in the sand. He is not a capitalist, but an entrepreneur, and an outstanding young entrepreneur, officially certified.
Zhao Liying didn't argue with Wei Yang: "Our "Go Fighting" is about to start, when are you going to record it?"
"In the next few days, if I gain weight, someone will say I'm greasy."
Zhao Liying couldn't help pinching Wei Yang's belly: "You're really fat, how much weight have you gained?"
"Less than 20 pounds, it's still growing fast, but the face hasn't changed much."
Zhao Liying looked at herself from a distance. Wei Yang is usually thin and tall. Although he has gained nearly 20 pounds, he still looks well-proportioned overall, and doesn't have much to do with the word fat.
"I think 30 pounds of weight gain may not be enough for you."
Wei Yang is also this tall, but the role doesn't have to require a fat man. If he is not thin, he will meet the standard. If it doesn't work, we can think of a way later.
"The list of nominees for the Hundred Flowers Awards is out, are you going?"
Perhaps because Zhao Liying was there and no one came to disturb them, the two simply started chatting, and then talked about the Hundred Flowers Awards in September.
Wei Yang had not been involved in many film awards before. His debut film "Famous" was okay, and several films later won awards, but they were basically consolation.
On the one hand, the subject matter was not suitable, and on the other hand, many judges of mainland film awards were deeply involved with the Beijing circle. Boss Wei did not communicate much with them, and he formed his own school in Shanghai, so he was naturally not favored.
This time, Wei Yang was nominated for the Best Actor for the first time with "Wushuang", and it was also the second time for several authoritative domestic film awards.
The last time was at the Shanghai Film Festival, where Wei Yang was nominated for the Best Actor for "Super Time and Space Cohabitation", but did not win the award.
On the other hand, Fan Xiaopang was nominated for the Best Actress of the Hundred Flowers and Huabiao with "Super Time and Space Cohabitation", but did not win the award.
He did win the Most Popular Actress at the College Student Film Festival, which Boss Wei also won for "Operation Mekong". If this can be considered as the Best Actor, it should be Boss Wei's first Best Actor award.
It was also these waves of cold reception that made Boss Wei too lazy to play with these people.
He had been shooting "Wushuang" and wanted to win awards, and he was also aiming for the Golden Horse Award, which is still very valuable, and the Golden Goblet Award of the Magic City Film Festival in Magic City.
As for the Hundred Flowers Award, it should have been the award that Wei Yang had the most hope to win, but Boss Wei, who had already received inside information, knew that he could forget about it.
"Huayi is half of the organizer behind this Hundred Flowers. Given the relationship between the Wang brothers and me, if I can win the award, I will swim back to the Huangpu River from the Yongding River in Beijing."
"Isn't this Hundred Flowers Award an official award? How can Huayi control it?"
"Because it has money."
Facing Zhao Liying's indignation, Wei Yang was very calm. Although the Golden Rooster Award has many complaints, the right to speak is mainly in the hands of the judges and filmmakers, and it is obvious that the Hundred Flowers Award is interfered with by capital.
This year's Hundred Flowers Award is even more typical. In the previous life, it was almost monopolized by the Huayi system.
Best Actor Feng Shaofeng, Best Actress Xu Qing, Best Supporting Actor Li Moufeng, and Best Supporting Actress Dabaobei
The four people are either artists of Huayi, or have close ties with Huayi, or their managers are former Huayi employees, and the dramas they filmed are basically all produced by Huayi.
They are so greedy that they don't even try to hide it.
Can Feng Shaofeng of "Wolf Totem" beat the male protagonists of "The Sun Also Rises", "Old Cannon" and "Dear"? !
The female protagonist of "Dear", Zhao, has no problem acting in this drama, but she lost to Xu Qing, whose role in "Old Cannon" was not very impressive.
The best supporting actor is the most outrageous. Li Yifeng of "Old Cannon" beat Zhang Ze of "Dear", Duan Long of "The Sun Also Rises" and Xia Yu of "Mojin".
Dabaobei's opponent is not particularly strong, but it does not represent her advantage. She is still at the bottom.
This is the way it is played. Liang Chaowei and Ge Daye are cannon fodder. Wei Yang will not join in the fun.
But then again, they are all capital. Huayi can control Baihua, and Boss Wei will still have influence on it in the future.
In fact, since Huayi's failure, the Hundred Flowers Awards have begun to shift towards the Bona system.
Many of the winning works of the Hundred Flowers Awards are inextricably linked to Bona, and even the Golden Rooster Awards are the same, but the performance is not so obvious.
Boss Wei is not sure whether it is true or not, but he is willing to give it a try. Now the size and influence of Blue Whale are much stronger than Bona.
Although Huayi is not a rival of Blue Whale now, Wei Yang can't easily get in if he wants to protect the plate.
But if these two brothers fail, as the leader in the industry, Wei Yang has an unshirkable responsibility to support local film awards, and even some resources in the Beijing circle, Boss Wei can also think about it.
It's a pity that Huayi is not dead and has not been hammered to the end, otherwise Wei Yang spent some money to acquire it and let Zhao Liying serve as CEO.
From a maid who was born in a talent show, an ordinary artist who didn't care about leaving, to a CEO, Wei Yang wanted to tailor a cool drama for her.
However, the hope of achieving this cool drama in reality is too small, so let's think about a real cool drama.
"Didn't you say you wanted to make a movie? Why are you thinking about making a TV series?"
Wei Yang asked Zhao Liying curiously. Before the celebration party, the two discussed Zhao Liying's next move. The latter overturned the movie plan and planned to continue making TV series.
"Others make movies, and I make movies too. It seems like I'm just following them. I'll make TV series. Dominating the small screen is more beneficial to the company and the platform."
Zhao Liying's reason is very simple. First, it can help the company and the overall situation is important. Second, Liu Shishi makes a movie, and if she goes, it will be a competition of imitation. Zhao Liying doesn't want to deal with it.
Moreover, she has a selfish motive. Both "The Journey of Flower" and "The Story of Ming Palace" are well-known hits, and they can be ranked among the top three in the hot dramas of the year.
In terms of influence on the small screen, Zhao Liying is firmly in the first echelon, and can even compete for the first place.
So she also has ambitions, and wants to strike while the iron is hot, and make another hit, and win the achievement of "Queen of the Small Screen" in one breath with three consecutive hits.
This honor is more tempting than making a popular movie, and the risk of movies is high. In terms of the small screen, Zhao Liying has enough confidence.
"The Story of Ming Palace" is still the annual ratings champion this year, and the comprehensive data of online broadcast is also the first, and it has to suppress "Day and Night Chase".
The influence and discussion may not be as popular as "The Journey of Flower", but the performance on the surface is indeed the best since Zhao Liying debuted.
Although Da Mimi and Tang Yan have achieved good results in the past two years, and their excellent works have been hits continuously, and Liu Shishi has even won four consecutive championships, but Zhao Liying is the second only to Wei Yang in the performance of leading small screen works in recent years.
The previous [TV Queen] was Sun Niangniang and Liu Shishi, and Fan Xiaopang occasionally made a cameo appearance.
But after "The Story of Ming Palace", Zhao Liying's popularity has been getting higher and higher. The reason why she didn't reach the top is that Da Mimi and Tang Yan's data are not bad.
If she can make another big hit comparable to "The Journey of Flower" and "The Story of Ming Palace", Zhao Liying will be stable.
However, this is just Zhao Liying's idea, and Wei Yang has reservations.
Although Liu Shishi went to the film industry, Da Mimi who stayed behind is really not a good person.
"Ode to Joy 2" and "Eternal Love" are both the foundation of hits. Zhao Liying wants to be the [Queen of Small Screen], and Da Mimi also has the same idea.
There is also Fan Xiaopang, who has two dramas, "My First Half of Life" and "All Is Well", with amazing fighting power, plus the influence accumulated over the years.
She may not fight, but if Zhao and Yang want to get to the top, they can't ignore this big Buddha.
Of course, Zhao Liying also has her own advantages. The script of her new play was personally revised by Boss Wei and the writing team.
"Princess Agents"
The name is still the same as in the previous life, but the plot and style are very different. This time, the heroine is completely strong. The heroine is very powerful, and the heroine is more like a tool. In the end, she went from a female slave to a female general who protects one side in troubled times.
The success of "The Palace of Ming" has proved that even if the emotional drama is weakened, the heroine still has a large market.
This is likely to become Zhao Liying's personal style. Many fans like her style of focusing on her career and nicknamed her "Sister Zhao".
This time, "White Night Chase" did not beat "The Palace of Ming" from the surface data. Wei Yang is inevitably not confident and is not sure how strong Sister Zhao's explosive power is.
If Da Mimi and Fan Xiaopang fail to hold it down, then his pessimism will be slapped in the face, so it is better to play it safe.
Sit on the mountain and watch the sisters fight!
Anyway, no matter which sister wins, he, as a brother-in-law, will not lose...
