Helen laughed and scolded: "What are you trying to refute? You old guy just knows how to talk nonsense. Did I make it up when he called me aunt?"
Tracy did not continue to argue with her, but looked at Gruner: "I fell in love with this kid Shanzi because the two of us have a lot in common. Of course, it is only based on the understanding and persistence of the film career! Remember the first chapter The first time I met him was at a party hosted by Helen. At that time, he was not as famous as he is now, but some of the things he did subsequently and what happened in the industry verified his views on the far-reaching significance and future development trends of movies at that time. The arguments are quite accurate!"
Wallace seemed unwilling to be left alone: "I can understand what is happening in the industry, but most of the works he has filmed have not been released yet. Do you know this?"
Tracy happily explained: "Because of my job, I can get early access to the films submitted for review, and he has done more than just films in which he has participated. Are the scripts provided not considered his works?"
"I've heard of them all, 'The King's Speech', 'No Country for Old Men', 'Chicago', 'The Irishman', 'Avatar', etc. I've been waiting for them to be released!"
"It's a matter of commercial secrets, so I can't reveal too much, but one thing I can say is that the films you mentioned are all capable of being shortlisted for Oscar nominations, and of course they will definitely win some awards!"
"So they've been filmed?"
"I can't say, I can only say that a part of the film summary was sent to the review. Also, my colleagues and I were shocked at that time. We all agreed that a new film era was coming!"
The applause resounded again, and the conversation between the two highlighted their idol's creative ability at all times, which made them deeply proud.
In fact, at this point in the program, everything that the program team wanted to show has been basically completed.
The purpose of this variety show is to establish a clearer image of Liu Qingshan. Even if people in the industry understand the nature of the interview released by UEN TV, they will not hesitate to publicize it.
Just because Liu Qingshan has the ability to show superhuman strength, what is a future traffic star? Strictly speaking, Liu Qingshan is the originator of this kind of fashion trend, but the meaning of traffic in him is the first to be mentioned with Han Guobangzi. The concept of traffic stars is completely different.
Strictly speaking, the concepts proposed by Bangzi are relatively easy to achieve and are nothing more than all kinds of hype.
It's too difficult to get traffic like Liu Qingshan. After all, there are very few people like him who are outstanding in all aspects.
But what is unquestionable is that whoever can accurately grasp the traffic flowing with him can almost lock in advance the positive impact on future development.
Because topicality and personal ability cannot be created by any artificial means, even if Liu Qingshan is negatively affected in the future, he will always be the owner of the top traffic, which no one can replace at present.
It is precisely because of this understanding that UEN TV and the capital behind them dare to take risks and plan such a program. If the capital investment for this time is leaked, it may be the most expensive variety show in history.
The problem is that such a huge investment was actually collected before the official launch.
Getting the principal back was something that no one involved in the planning expected.
Therefore, one can imagine the current mood of these people, and Gurren, who was still hosting, clearly heard Michelle's instructions in an excited tone through the headset: "We are about to enter the closing stage, but it is a little different from the previous process. For changes, you can promise Mr. Liu some conditions on the spot, such as monetary feedback, but the specific amount must be controlled within three million US dollars!"
Although the figures revealed by Shangfeng shocked Gurenna, after thinking about it, he understood the reasons behind this decision.
First of all, UEN must have received dividends from this program that were several times higher than expected, so it was possible for UEN to decide to use three million US dollars to win over the hero Liu Qingshan with a wave of his hand.
Then there are the cooperation projects between the TV station and Liu Qingshan, almost all of which have Xueyu Entertainment’s shareholding. This is the only exception. Such a large commercial income is achieved around him. At this time, there is no point. blood, it will appear that the production unit is too greedy.
Another point is a vague guess. According to Gruner's personal network, Liu Qingshan will launch his own planned projects in advance and focus on the production of several major TV stations in the United States in advance before officially entering Hollywood. It is only a TV series script. Due to the demand, almost all well-known TV stations have locked in his next work.
Because his first drama "House of Cards" has only been aired for three weeks, it has already topped the list of TV dramas in the United States that month.
You must know that after decades of development, the TV market here has now entered a relatively mature stage, especially the production and broadcasting system of TV series. Before production, a very detailed market analysis of the corresponding audience groups has been made, including their Their age, occupation, living habits, and even income are all accurately positioned.
Each episode is updated every week, and the planning, production, sales, and advertising of the TV series are all determined based on the market's audience.
This also includes the production process of their movies, musicals, dramas and other artistic products, which are all market-oriented! This may make the product taste a little stronger, but it will promote the orderly operation and development of an industry. !
In the past, most places in the world, including mainland China, adopted a buyer's market model.
In other words, the TV station is the boss. He says how much an episode will cost you, that’s how much an episode will cost. It’s good or bad, and he uses this money to acquire it.
Moreover, the producers have no control over how he wants to broadcast it, which is very detrimental to the orderly development of TV series.
What's more important is that the content limitations of American drama productions are very low. Almost all the content that can be produced in movies can be covered in TV series.
Zombie movies like Resident Evil reflect the dark side of both the government and the military. Vampires, homosexuality, extramarital affairs, and crime are all very popular and can be seen almost everywhere.
But regardless of the subject matter, the production scale and quality will be infinitely closer to the quality of movies. Some famous blockbusters are so well-produced that they have never been seen before. Almost every frame in the drama uses the most advanced film shooting techniques. Their production costs are also sky-high.
The fact that Liu Qingshan's script can stand out under these circumstances is enough to prove that his editing ability must be extraordinary.
Even more surprising
What is surprising is that the drama he took out actually depicts an absolutely realistic subject matter that surrounds the top powerful class in the United States and is very close to the real life of politicians.
It is said that after only three episodes, even the current president is following the show, which shows how close to reality some of the power struggles involved in it are.
Moreover, Fox TV, the producer of this series, has invested heavily, and the current broadcast also reflects its grand scenes and luxurious production, which attracts almost tens of millions of fans to watch every Saturday night. , is said to have broken the ratings record in the TV market for more than ten years.
Tens of millions is not a small number in Lao America. Their total permanent population is only so small, but a terrifying number of more than 10% was attracted by a TV series written by foreigners.
Therefore, if this interview program is extremely effective, the potential commercial value of Liu Qingshan will be fully established in the United States, the base camp of the global entertainment industry. As the UEN TV station that has the closest relationship with him, , why don’t you go all out to win over this God of Wealth?
The simplest way to win over is profit. Three million U.S. dollars may not be very high for UEN's tonight's income, but Liu Qingshan had previously accepted market price announcement remuneration, and the superposition of the two is the core of the problem. .
The ranking of artists' worth in the United States is subject to corresponding strict terms. To increase or decrease privately, you need to file a filing application. Under this premise, the operability of changing the worth is extremely small, and there is no reasonable way. The reason is that unauthorized increase of the notice fee by almost doubling the market price is already a criminal act that disrupts the order of the industry.
Just imagine in a so-called "free" country where even if you cook at home, community association staff will be called in after receiving complaints. Once Liu Qingshan's excessive taking and excessive possession are investigated, let's not say whether it will happen. He will be punished for this, and at least his reputation in the circle will be ruined.
Because a person who intends to break industry rules will not be welcomed wherever he goes, even if your identity is out of reach.
Therefore, how to find a reasonable reason to send out these three million without any potential violations on the part of the recipient is the primary issue.
As a young man who has been in this industry for nearly ten years, Gruner certainly understands his boss Michelle's intention of entrusting him with this task.
Of course, he had to consider that the money sent out must comply with the rules and show that it was Michelle's handiwork. Even if there were loopholes and he would be held accountable in the future, the boss would not be found responsible.
Of course, there are benefits behind taking risks. Otherwise, if the TV station didn't know that Liu Qingshan and her have maintained an excellent personal relationship, Gruner's qualifications would be a definite alternative to host such an important show that attracts thousands of people. project.
But in theory, although there is a suspicion of violation, it is not too difficult to find a suitable excuse. For example, Gurenna only needs to put the money into the performance rewards of sponsors, and there will be no problem, but the premise is that it is in advance Have signed agreements with those merchants.
Obviously things happened in such a hurry, and within the live broadcast, how could Gruner find an incomprehensible reason in a short period of time, which would have consumed a lot of brain cells.
