Lee Jae Wook is indeed miserable.
In fact, he had noticed the song "My Dearest" as early as two or three days ago, because this song was really powerful. He also wanted to rescue him, but found that the fans were exhausted physically and mentally and their enthusiasm was greatly reduced, so Lee Jae Wook gave up and took the lead in raising the white flag, watching helplessly as "My Dearest" stepped on his head step by step.
No temper!
So ungrateful!
.....
Having said that, on the 10th, Tianhai held a celebration banquet at the Magic City Hotel to celebrate the great success of "Born Together". This TV series became a hit and gave Tianhai a very good start.
With a TV series as the starting point, it will not be so difficult for Tianhai to knock on the doors of major TV stations in the future. At least he won't be turned away like before.
"Staying Together" has made Suning TV and other TV stations a huge profit, and it has made countless TV stations jealous.
In the future, if the TV series produced by Tianhai are promoted to TV stations, the TV stations will have to see the samples first. What if Tianhai produces another popular TV series like "Born Together"?
I heard that the two people in charge of Xiangjiang TV and Shencheng TV who rejected Tianhai were scolded by the TV station.
At the celebration banquet, all the three hundred or so people in Tianhai were present, except for some who had some facts and couldn't leave. The wine table was full of people drinking and drinking, it was very lively.
In fact, this celebration banquet can be regarded as a blessing for Lin Zhixiang, Guo Hong, and Chen Xueqi. After the three of them joined Tianhai, Wang Xuan had not held a welcome party for them yet, so this time they happened to do it together.
This celebration banquet cost a total of 5 million.
But it's okay.
The TV series "Born Together" made a lot of money. Just from selling the broadcast rights, after deducting the cost, Tianhai earned nearly 170 million. The rights to broadcast online are still under negotiation. If it goes well, it won't be a problem to earn another 30 to 20 million.
Therefore, spending 5 million to hold a celebration banquet is not worth mentioning to Tianhai.
After drinking and eating, Zhu Xu, Li Tao, Guo Hong and Wang Xuan chatted about business.
"Brother Xuan, "Welcome to the Same Window" became a hit and gave us a good start. Do you plan to continue filming the second part of "Together to the Window"?"
"No. There is indeed a second and third part of "Born Together", but I don't plan to shoot it now. It will take another year and a half." Wang Xuan said. He plans to turn "Staying Together" into a series, also known as IP.
But IP needs time to settle, and now filming the second part of "Together" does meet the needs of the audience, but it has no settling effect. Only by waiting for the audience to see it through before shooting can the greatest effect be achieved.
I know everything about hunger marketing.
"Then what are your plans? Do you have any other scripts that can be filmed?" Zhu Xu asked, "By the way, during this period, our screenwriting department has submitted some scripts, some of which are good, but of course they are not top-notch. .”
"If it's good, let's take a photo." Wang Xuan said.
"But..."
"What? Is it a big investment?"
"Not really. With an investment of about 10 million, we can shoot it. But our company now has young directors who have almost just left school. I'm afraid they won't be able to shoot well." Zhu Xu said.
"What's the point? Let's just give them some training. Anyway, it's only ten to ten million, so we can't afford to lose. But as long as we can train a good director, we will make a lot of money." Wang Xuan said.
"Understood. Then I will ask two or three of them to discuss the filming together and make sure to strive for excellence." Zhu Xu said.
Wang Xuan nodded: "If you find a good talent, you can tell me. It will be no problem for me to get a few scripts here and give them practice."
"Ah? Brother Xuan, you have a script and don't you plan to shoot it yourself?" Li Tao was surprised.
"I'm shooting. But there are too many scripts and I can't finish them. I plan to go to Songshan Mountain in the near future to see if I can find one or two suitable martial arts actors. I have two or three action movie scripts in hand." Wang Xuan said. "Wang Xuan said.
"Songshan Shaolin Temple? It's a good place. There are several martial arts stars in the entertainment industry now who are lay disciples of Songshan Shaolin Temple. If Brother Xuan is short of actors, he can definitely look for them." Zhu Xu said.
"Are you talking about Li Dawei, Jiang Long and Wang Hu?" Wang Xuan asked.
Zhu Xu nodded.
"These guys are really good. I've read their information and seen the martial arts movies they starred in. Their movements are clean and neat, and they have unique skills. However, it's okay to ask them to be supporting actors, but not the protagonists. I'm not doing it for any other entertainment. The company has the habit of cultivating stars." Wang Xuan said, only he knew how powerful the script in his hand was, it was a script that could become a god.
Wang Xuan will definitely leave roles like Wong Fei Hung and Ip Man to people in his own company, and he will even ask them to sign long-term contracts.
"clear."
...
Wang Xuan has always been a resolute person. After the celebration banquet, he took Weng Yong and several special forces security guards to Songshan Mountain.
The Shaolin Temple located in the hinterland of Songshan Mountain is the most famous temple in the world. It was named "Shaolin Temple" because of the dense jungle at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. In another time and space, thanks to "Shaolin Temple" starring Jie Ge, Shaolin Temple is famous for thousands of miles, and a large number of tourists come for sightseeing every year.
But there is no "Shaolin Temple" movie in this time and space. Instead, this place is full of mountainous wilderness and desolate people. When Wang Xuan came to Shaolin Temple, the grass on the mountain was one meter high and it was almost impossible to find his way.
"Ah..." Wang Xuan was speechless.
In this time and space, aren't Jiang Long and several Shaolin Temple lay disciples doing very well in the entertainment industry? All of them are considered martial arts stars, with a salary of tens of millions per movie, but they don’t help the Shaolin Temple build a road?
I can’t figure it out!
But this is good, Wang Xuan is more confident about this business. As long as the Shaolin Temple has the people he needs, the trip will be more than 90% successful.
What made Wang Xuan a little disappointed was that after he entered the gate of Shaolin Temple, he saw a few sweeping monks, who were at least forty or fifty years old.
When Wang Xuan and his entourage came in, they were very surprised because no visitors had come to Shaolin Temple for a long time.
"Welcome to Shaolin Temple. Several donors have come from afar. What are you doing?" A monk came up and asked.
"Hello, Master, is the abbot of your temple here? I have something I want to talk to him about," Wang Xuan said.
"That's me. I wonder what the donor wants from me?"
"So you are the host? I'm sorry, let's talk here?" Wang Xuan asked.
"Sorry, I forgot a little. This is indeed not a place for discussion. Several donors come with me." The host said, leading Wang Xuan and others into the living room of Shaolin Temple, and then made a cup of tea for Wang Xuan and others, and motioned to Wang Xuan You can go on.
"It's like this, I am Wang Xuan, the boss of Tianhai Entertainment. I have a movie script in my hand and I am short of a few martial arts actors. I have heard that Shaolin is the best in martial arts, so I want to see if there is anyone I need in your temple... .”
"No, if the donor is here for this matter, please come back." The host interrupted Wang Xuan directly. No matter what Wang Xuan said after that, the host was unwilling to listen, as if Wang Xuan owed him 1.8 million. , directly drove Wang Xuan and others out of the Shaolin Temple gate, and then closed the gate directly.
Wang Xuan was speechless.
Even though he was here, of course he didn't give up and stayed outside the Shaolin Temple. Finally he met a young monk, about ten years old, who came out of the Shaolin Temple to take out the garbage.
"Hello, little master..." Wang Xuan called out to the young monk and finally got the reason from the young monk.
It turned out that the cause was Li Dawei, Jiang Long and Wang Hu.
It turns out that these three people are not lay disciples, but formal disciples. I used to practice martial arts in the Shaolin Temple, and the master monks taught me all the money. Later, an entertainment company went to the Shaolin Temple to look for martial arts actors, and the host recommended three of them, and they were all selected.
At that time, the host also thought about asking the entertainment company what remuneration he wanted, because when Li Dawei, Jiang Long and Wang Hu were in the temple, they seemed to be very good people, well-behaved and filial, and they were the host's proud disciples.
The host thought to himself, if these three people can't get along, forget it. If they get ahead in the entertainment industry, they will never forget the kindness of Shaolin Temple.
The host has high hopes for these three people, but he doesn't ask for much. He just thinks that if these three people make money, they can help the Shaolin Temple build a road up the mountain, and then help promote the Shaolin Temple to attract more tourists and disciples. Come to your door and let the fragrance of Shaolin Temple continue.
These three people did live up to the high expectations of the host. They got out and became martial arts stars one by one. But who would have thought that the three of them were all white-eyed wolves.
After becoming martial arts stars, Li Dawei, Jiang Long and Wang Hu all began to try their best to distance themselves from the relationship with the Shaolin Temple. They denied their identity as Shaolin disciples and claimed that they were just lay disciples of the Shaolin Temple and had not learned Kung Fu. How many. This one.
Secondly, after becoming martial arts stars, none of Li Dawei, Jiang Long and Wang Hu returned to the Shaolin Temple. Let alone help with road construction, they did not even give back a penny to the Shaolin Temple, and they never did anything for the Shaolin Temple. over any publicity.
This is why the host immediately chased them away when he heard that Wang Xuan and others were coming to find the martial arts actor. He wasn't targeting Wang Xuan intentionally, but since Li Dawei, Jiang Long, and Wang Hu, whenever an entertainment company came to pick actors, the hosts would treat them like this.
It will be easier to handle once you understand the cause of the matter.
Wang Xuan and others followed the young monk into the door and approached the host again.
"What else are you doing here? I told you that there is no one you need in Shaolin Temple. Jueyuan, why do you let others in so casually?" the host said in a somewhat unkind tone.
"It's none of the little master's business, we forced our way in. I'll apologize here first, but I think you, host, can just listen to what I have to say." Wang Xuan said.
"have nothing to say."
"Really? Even if the Shaolin Temple has lost its inheritance, is there nothing to say? When I went up the mountain, I took a special look. There were many weeds along the way, almost covering the mountain road. This proves that there are not many tourists in the Shaolin Temple now, right? I It is estimated that there are not many disciples. Without tourists and disciples, or in other words, only with disciples but no tourists, how long can the Shaolin Temple survive? Is it just relying on disciples to go down the mountain to beg for alms?
How can it be!
Modern times are not like ancient times. There are no tourists who contribute incense. How many disciples are willing to go to the Shaolin Temple to become a monk and live a life where they only rely on door-to-door alms all day long? If there are no more disciples, then you, the host, will be a sinner in Shaolin Temple. Because Shaolin Temple is a legacy that ends in your hands. What's more important is that originally this inheritance could be continued. "Wang Xuan said.
"..."
Wang Xuan's words were like a slap in the face, leaving the host speechless. In fact, the current situation of the Shaolin Temple is very bad, even worse than Wang Xuan imagined. There is not much rice left in the temple. At most, it is enough for a week.
There is not much money left from the incense money contributed by tourists in the past.
Wang Xuan is right. Without tourists, Shaolin Temple can only survive by going down the mountain to ask for alms. The reason why Wang Xuan didn't see many monks in Shaolin Temple was because most of the monks were sent down the mountain to beg for alms.
If the fate is not met, then the Shaolin Temple will be finished, and even eating will be a problem. Even if the alms turn out well this time, it is not a long-term solution. At its peak, the Shaolin Temple had thousands of disciples, but now there are less than 500 left. But 500 people also have 500 mouths. How can we just rely on alms? Only strong incense can ensure the continuous inheritance of Shaolin Temple.
"Do you mean that you can ensure that the Shaolin Temple will continue to have incense?" the host said.
"Yes." Wang Xuan said, feeling happy because he suddenly discovered that not only might he gain something from this trip, but he might also be able to negotiate a deal that was sure to make a profit without losing any money.
"How to guarantee? Give money directly?" The host sneered. When those companies took away Jiang Long and the others, they had not given money to the Shaolin Temple, but those hundreds of thousands were nothing to the hundreds of people in the Shaolin Temple. It's just a drop in the bucket.
If Wang Xuan's next proposal is to give money, the host will reject it without even thinking about it.
"Money is of course indispensable. I can first support the Shaolin Temple with 1 million to help the Shaolin Temple overcome the current difficulties. But this is only secondary. If we want to ensure that the Shaolin Temple continues to have incense, we must attract a large number of tourists to burn incense and worship."
"How to attract?"
"Before answering this question, I would like to ask the abbot a question. Is Shaolin Temple owned by your temple or the country?"
"Our temple's assets."
"Is the entire Songshan Mountain an asset of your temple?"
"How is that possible! The entire Songshan Mountain was indeed the property of the Shaolin Temple in the past, but it was taken back after the founding of the State of China. Now the thousand-acre land in the center of the Shaolin Temple is the property of the Shaolin Temple, and the rest is the national asset."
"I understand." Wang Xuan nodded.
"So your question has something to do with attracting tourists to come to Shaolin Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha?"
"Related. Originally, I wanted to fund a company to cooperate with Guisi to build the Guisi area into a tourist attraction. But now it seems that cooperation with you alone is not enough. I have to involve the local government." Wang Xuan was a little regretful. Because if the local government is involved, the government will definitely take the majority.
The host shook his head: "It's useless! It's simply unrealistic to turn it into a tourist attraction. Most tourists come here just to burn incense and pray to Buddha for peace. Other than that, there is nothing else about Shaolin Temple that attracts tourists."
"Why not? Shaolin Temple is a world-famous Buddhist temple. It is the ancestral temple of Zen Buddhism in Chinese Buddhism. It occupies an important position in the history of Chinese Buddhism and is known as 'the most famous temple in the world'. Because of the Shaolin monks of all generations who devoted themselves to research and creation, The ever-developing Shaolin Kung Fu has become world-famous, and it is known as "the world's Kung Fu originated from Shaolin".
In addition, Shaolin Temple is located in Songshan Mountain. The majestic Songshan Mountain, cascading waterfalls, deep and solemn ancient temples, various Buddha statues, as well as pagodas, monuments, murals, famous calligraphy, etc., can definitely attract many tourists. "Wang Xuan said.
"What about promotion? Even if it is turned into a scenic spot, how will it be promoted? How will it attract tourists?" the host asked. This question actually meant that he was already interested.
"This is my second purpose today."
