To be honest, although Haina's performance in recent years has been very impressive, he is far from as evil as he was in previous years. The situation in the past few years was that Yang Dongxu personally reviewed all scripts, and even occasionally wrote the scripts himself.
Therefore, whether it is a movie or a TV series, there is no one that is not a big hit. In addition, every song he releases is a hit, so where is Li Zongsheng's ability? Therefore, whether it is the film and television department or the record department, the entire Haina company has never failed to make whatever hits it out and make whoever is popular.
But in the past two years, as Yang Dongxu began to continuously relax his management of Haina, he no longer interfered with whether it was the company's self-produced dramas or investing in movies and TV series produced by others. Haina Company gradually behaved more normally. Although it still made much more money than it lost, it was no longer like before and everyone could only look up to it as a myth.
However, although he is not personally involved in the works of Haina Company, occasionally Yang Dongxu will still stay for a while when he thinks of some popular TV series or movies. If the company doesn't invest, let people invest.
Therefore, although Heiner has not performed so evilly in recent years, his chances of making money from his products are still far higher than those of his peers. Therefore, other entertainment companies are still being rubbed on the ground by Heiner.
In the entire Asian entertainment market, except for Japan's self-proclaimed system, the rest are basically being pushed to the ground and rubbed by Heiner. However, after this year, these companies that have been rubbed on the ground can breathe a little easier. Because Haina has focused its entire development overseas from this year onwards, although the Asian market will also pay attention to it, the intensity is obviously not as strong as before.
The closing banquet was not held in Hong Kong, but in the mainland, and it was also in Yang Dongxu’s hometown of Huangshan City in Anhui Province. Although Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are still the main force in the Asian entertainment market, in order to promote the development of the mainland entertainment market.
Yang Dongxu not only adds suitable newcomers from the mainland to some crews from time to time, and invests in movies and TV series shot in the mainland, he also tries his best to bring some crews to the mainland.
However, the construction of Hengdian has not yet been completed, and other mainland film and television circles are relatively lagging behind. Therefore, the crew will also encounter many problems when filming in the mainland. For example, it is impossible for the extras to follow the crew all over the country. Sometimes, recruiting extras is a problem every time we go to a location for filming.
The closing banquet was undoubtedly extremely lively because of the arrival of the mysterious boss Yang Dongxu, and even several leading actors and directors were a little unbelievable. Because my boss is extremely mysterious within the company, we have seen him less and less in the past two years. Who would have thought that he would come directly to the drama's wrapping party, which is a wrapping party and not a celebration party.
But after being stunned for a moment, many people became ecstatic, and the legend spread throughout the entertainment industry that their boss was Goldfinger. Every TV series or movie that he has invested in, or has reviewed and decided to invest in, and the scripts that he has written are all popular.
Originally, because the filming cost was much higher than expected, and the main actors were basically unknown actors, the director and producer, who were worried that the cost would not be recouped, were instantly given a shot in the arm.
Of course, it was also at this time that they found out that this drama was also ordered by the big boss, which was undoubtedly another surprise. In fact, there was nothing the company's senior management could do to conceal Yang Dongxu's decision to order a drama.
Because the scripts Hainer invested in in the past two years have both losses and profits. Although he still made a lot of money, his performance was still normal. So the incident of Heiner's favored script being snatched up was somewhat mitigated.
I don't think about the scripts that Haina liked in the past two years. There is no need for the person who wrote the script to say anything. As long as the words "Haina is interested" are announced to the outside world, the price of the script is guaranteed to be four to five times, or even ten times higher. of.
It would be even worse if the words 'Xiao Xu hand-picked' were added after the words 'Hainer liked'. Other entertainment companies would have to get involved even if they were squeezed out.
Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in Haina, that is, the scripts selected by Yang Dongxu will not be released to the outside world. He will not participate in or supervise the filming or the middle. Everything will follow normal procedures.
And when some dramas are being completed, Yang Dongxu will occasionally appear. One is naturally to encourage the actors he personally participated in the selection, and the other is also a kind of hype.
At least Yang Dongxu participates in TV dramas or movies at the finals party. When it is sold to a TV station or shown in a movie theater, both the price given by the TV station and the film scheduling rate of the movie theater are higher.
So sometimes Luo Wenhua joked: "When the big boss has nothing to do, he should attend the final banquet of the company's film and television dramas, or directly put his name behind some records. In this way, there is no need to wait for market testing, and the money invested will basically be returned." This is it."
"How about it, are you interested in coming to Haina?" At the closing banquet, Yang Dongxu, who was sitting at the main table, naturally attracted much attention. At this time, he was holding up his wine glass and talking about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as if he was joking. Director Li Tiansheng asked.
Speaking of Li Tiansheng, many people may not know him because he is not a very famous or well-known director. But when it comes to TVB producers, Tian Ge is definitely second to none in the industry if nothing else.
Since he joined TVB in 1969, he has served TVB for 26 years and has participated in the production of dozens of films. He is definitely an experienced and capable general. Although Haina has become more and more famous in the past two years, the film and television department has recruited many talents, both directors and screenwriters, but how can there be too much talent?
"Haha..." Li Tiansheng laughed when he heard Yang Dongxu's words.
Yang Dongxu smiled inexplicably, and the people at the main table were also a little confused, so they all looked at him.
After laughing for a long time and finally suppressing the uncontrollable emotions in his heart, Li Tiansheng said: "My boss told me during the filming that Yang Dongxu is a talented, capable and responsible guy who is very suitable for being a friend.
But this kid has a problem, that is, he hugs every good thing he sees. You should be careful when you go to the mainland to film a movie, otherwise the movie will be filmed for others and the person will become Haina's. "
Li Tiansheng imitated Boss Shao's tone and movements, and the atmosphere at the main table suddenly became silent. Then many people showed expressions on their faces that they wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, and they were struggling to hold it in.
Yang Dongxu has a skill in the circle that is comparable to his ability to write scripts and songs. This skill is poaching.
Throughout Haina, except for him, the big boss, and Fu Decai, the second boss, almost all the members were poached from other companies. When I was just making records at the beginning, I started looking for sound engineers, writers, and producers.
After filming movies and TV series, they start poaching actors, directors, screenwriters, and even crew members cannot escape bad luck. Often after a drama is finished filming, there are always a few people who originally only collaborated with the crew sent by other companies to become part of Heiner. This caused many people to be as wary of Heiner as a thief when they discussed cooperating with him for a film and television production.
Therefore, there is a popular saying in the circle: "Hainer is what he is today. There is no doubt about Xiaoxu's talent, and this talent is divided into two parts, one is creative talent, and the other is-the ability to poach... ..”
"Knowing pearls with a keen eye is also a kind of ability, isn't it?" Yang Dongxu touched his nose in embarrassment.
'Poaching' is also one of the main reasons why Heiner is today. Although it is a joke, it is also true, and he has no reason to refute it. After all, Hainer does not have his own training class.
The development of mainland actors is indeed lagging behind that of Hong Kong and Taiwan. At this time, he does not recruit people, but slowly trains them himself. He doesn't know how long it will take to reap the rewards.
"Yes, yes, it is indeed an ability." Li Tiansheng nodded, and others nodded in agreement.
But no matter how much I nod my head, I still can't help but want to laugh. The ability to discern pearls with a discerning eye is indeed a kind of ability, and it is a good ability. After all, horses with a thousand lima are common but Bole is not. But I don’t know why everyone always feels like laughing when Yang Dongxu uses his Bole ability.
"Just laugh if you want to, be careful not to cause internal injuries." Looking at the expressions of the people on the table, Yang Dongxu said helplessly. This 'poaching' hat may have to be worn on his head for the rest of his life.
Seeing the depressed look on Yang Dongxu's face, the people at the table couldn't help laughing anymore. This smile made the distance that was originally a bit large due to the difference in status instantly narrowed a lot.
When they mentioned Xiaoxu before, they all felt like they were looking up to a god. Now they feel that their big boss is actually quite easy to get along with.
"When will the TV series be released?" Yang Dongxu asked after calming down the atmosphere.
"The Hong Kong side is scheduled for the end of July. We are still negotiating when to release it in the Mainland." Li Tiansheng said.
When talking about this drama, his face became serious. As a director, he knew very well the quality of this drama. He felt that this drama would definitely be a hit.
But whether the director believes that the audience will buy into a drama that is a big hit is another matter. After all, all directors feel that what they shoot is very good and perfect, otherwise they would not be sure to start editing after filming and get it to be released on TV stations.
So I think it's useless, just like parents looking at their own children. No matter how naughty or mischievous they are, they are still their own children. The tolerance level is obviously different. Therefore, whether a drama is good or not has to be tested by the market, and Li Tiansheng is undoubtedly a little unsure in this regard. After all, the leading actors in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are all newcomers who are not well-known.
"It doesn't matter to me if Mr. Shao arranges it over in Hong Kong. I'll try my best to coordinate on the mainland side so that both sides can play it at the same time." Yang Dongxu pondered for a while and said.
Despite the existence of Haina, there is still a big gap between the TV series or movies broadcast in the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan. For example, the current film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filmed in 1995 and was ready to be released in Hong Kong at the end of July.
But this drama was actually released in mainland China in 1997 or early 1998. Yang Han couldn't remember the exact time, but it must have been two years later.
Although such a large time gap is related to the different social environments of the two places, in the final analysis, the mainland review is too complicated and conservative.
This is very detrimental to the development of the film and television bureau, because everything is seen two years later than people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which is equivalent to newcomers being two years behind Hong Kong and Taiwan in terms of some concepts of the film and television bureau.
For example, a newcomer who wants to be a director is still in school and does not have the ability to access first-hand information from Hong Kong and Taiwan. He can only collect and learn from some popular TV series or movies to speculate on the current fashion and popular elements.
But these things collected and learned seem to be very advanced and useful in the mainland, because this TV series and movie are currently being released. But the actual situation is that this is something that people came up with two years ago, and now they have newer things.
Therefore, among the fourth to fifth generations of mainland directors, only a few talented ones stand out. Others always feel like they are trying to catch up with others. It was not until the development of the sixth generation of the Internet and the further liberalization of the mainland's policies to encourage the development of entertainment culture that mainland directors emerged one after another.
Therefore, information asymmetry is also one of the major reasons why the mainland is lagging behind, not only in the film and television bureaus, but also in other aspects.
For example, due to the technological blockade, many of the technologies that China can buy are technologies that have been eliminated by others. When they sell you obsolete technology, they already have several generations of new technology in their hands.
You research on backward technology, and when you develop second-generation technology, others use third-generation technology. When you research third-generation technology, others use fourth-generation technology. No matter how you research, you will always be outgunned. In this case, it is obviously inappropriate to continue research step by step. You must understand the direction and speed up, otherwise you will be led by others throughout your life.
