Chapter 1151 News(1/2)
Since he decided to produce "Winter Sonata" and he didn't want to be the male lead, Yang Ming immediately called Sister Zhu.
"You mean this idol drama might be as popular as "Meteor Garden"?" Sister Zhu's voice couldn't help but become louder on the phone, full of surprises.
The popularity of "Meteor Garden", even after several years, is still fresh in Sister Zhu's memory.
In particular, it was through this idol drama that my boss officially established his foothold in the entertainment industry, became famous overnight, and became a superstar today. Even though Yang Ming's success is inseparable from his own talent and hard work,
But we cannot deny the star-making ability of the idol drama "Meteor Garden".
Four years have passed, and now I look back at this idol drama. All the actors in the drama, to this day, are all turbulent figures in the entertainment industry.
If Yan Chengxu hadn't ruined his career, he would definitely be a superstar under Yang Ming and more popular than Wu Tianhao and Guo Xiaotian. Now look at Wu Tianhao and Guo Xiaotian. Through the accumulation of several TV series, they officially set foot in the film industry last year and have already made their mark.
A piece of sky of your own.
I believe it won’t be long before these two people will skyrocket and become indispensable members of the entertainment industry.
The same is true for Xu Xiaoxi.
The movie "Meteor Garden" made this freshman from Yenching Film Academy, who was only average-looking, an instant hit and quickly became a national goddess.
In addition to these leading actors, other actors with many roles have also come forward one after another in the past few years and have begun to become the protagonists of film and television works. The popularity of "Meteor Garden" back then is definitely indispensable.
A TV series that is not in the eyes of everyone, but if it is like a star-making machine, it can bring out several stars. If such a good thing happens again, it is estimated that after other entertainment agencies know about it, they will break their heads and get in, and they will work hard.
It takes a big price to get an opportunity.
Now that Sister Zhu has learned from Yang Ming that there is such a TV series, how could she not be extremely surprised?
"It won't be worse than "Meteor Garden", or even better." Yang Ming said confidently. The situation in his previous life was almost the same. "Meteor Garden" was popular in Southeast Asia, but the response in Japan and South Korea was mediocre. This TV series
After all, it is adapted from a Japanese comic book. For Japanese audiences, this TV series will not be accepted by bad people.
At this point, he remembered something and reminded Sister Zhu: "However, there is one difference between this TV series and "Meteor Garden", that is, "Meteor Garden" can make several actors famous, but this "Winter Sonata" broadcast
After that, maybe the male protagonist will become the most dazzling person."
It is precisely because of this that he is so entangled in whether he should play this leading role.
After all, in his previous life, Bae Yongjun became an East Asian superstar with "Winter Sonata", which swept the ratings of Japanese and Korean TV dramas. His commercial value is comparable to the output of a medium-sized enterprise.
Naturally, he was worried about handing over such huge benefits to others.
Regarding the entertainment industry, he knows better than anyone else that this is a place that only cares about interests and not benevolence. It is simply impossible to expect others to behave and abide by the bottom line in their hearts.
Yang Ming can guarantee that if he uses someone else to play the role of Bae Yongjun and becomes the "Bae Yongjun" in this world, other entertainment agencies will definitely come to poach him, and the conditions offered will definitely be jaw-dropping and incredible.
Anyway, they didn't cultivate it, and now they can reap ready-made benefits, as long as they don't lose money.
He even estimated that if other entertainment agencies could not get 'Bae Yong Joon', they would use various means to destroy 'Bae Yong Joon'.
I can't get it, and no one else can get it.
There were not too many examples like this in the entertainment industry in previous lives.
"Mr. Yang, are you personally responsible for the starring role in "Winter Sonata"?" Sister Zhu immediately thought of a sensitive question and asked.
At that time, "Meteor Garden" made several celebrities famous, but among them, apart from Yang Ming, the most dazzling Yan Chengxu was poached by Polaroid Company. Yang Ming couldn't help but feel angry, and Sister Zhu also hated it extremely.
She still remembers Yan Chengxu's betrayal.
She absolutely does not want a situation like this to happen again among the artists she manages.
Even now, Yan Chengxu has become the most frequently mentioned negative teaching material in Sister Zhu's mouth. Once he became famous, he did not love himself, fell quickly, and was imprisoned...
"Except for the script, I will not participate in the production of this TV series." Yang Ming said, "If there are no other special reasons, I will leave this TV series to Director Mo to direct. He is the best at idol dramas.
"
The TV series "Winter Sonata" is not only a key plan for the company to increase its popularity in overseas markets next year, but it is also responsible for the star-making plan of the Ministry of Culture, using entertainment culture to strengthen the communication between the people of Japan and China, and reduce the Japanese people's
Resistance to China.
Even if Yang Ming doesn't do it himself, there won't be any negligence.
Commercial interests must be considered, and the quality of the TV series itself must also be taken into consideration.
"Then you called me to ask me to choose the right actors?" Sister Zhu rolled her eyes and immediately understood Yang Ming's intention. Obviously, her boss felt that the company was about to produce another movie comparable to "Meteor"
After the drama "Garden", but I was afraid that Yan Chengxu's incident would happen again, so I came to discuss it with her.
"Well, you need to be both strong and reliable!" Yang Ming roughly said.
Although he did not mention the commercial benefits that the name "Bae Yongjun" in his previous life could bring after the broadcast of "Winter Sonata", Sister Zhu still understood what Yang Ming meant.
Even more than Yang Ming, Sister Zhu does not want to see what happened to Yan Chengxu happen again. After all, she is the head of the agency department of Oriental DreamWorks.
Sister Zhu nodded silently. After understanding Yang Ming's meaning, she thought for a moment and said slowly: "Tell me the casting requirements. I will select them first and then send the information to your email."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After saying this, Yang Ming said nothing more and hung up the phone. After thinking for a while, a wry smile and self-deprecation appeared on his face.
Unexpectedly, he has reached this level in this life. He is famous all over the world and has tens of billions of wealth, but he still cares about money so much.
The characteristics of being a small citizen at heart have not disappeared to this day.
Nature is hard to change!
After Yang Ming laughed at himself, he put this idea behind him. It is estimated that such a character will never change in his lifetime, and he is not ready to change it.
Besides, from the bottom of his heart, he doesn’t like to see others taking advantage of him.
Even if he has to give up to gain something, he must take the initiative to give it up instead of being passively taken away by others.
The next day, Yang Ming got up early and went to the airport to prepare to go home.
Under his arrangement, the crew members of the Feiyang had already gone home for the holidays. This time when they returned to Fuzhou, he did not plan to take a private plane. He wanted to celebrate the Chinese New Year and let everyone have a reunion.
Liu Xinsheng and Barber are keeping an eye on the company's affairs, so there won't be any problems.
Although the second part of "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" will be released online on New Year's Day, he doesn't take it to heart. With the success of the first part, the box office of the second part will not be much worse.
Whether it was distribution or promotion, Liu Xinsheng and Barber had already made arrangements in an orderly manner, so there was no need for him to worry.
If he really wanted to waste time on such trivial matters, he probably wouldn't even have time to turn around.
Sometimes, both Liu Xinsheng and Barber criticized Yang Ming by name for not being a qualified star.
In this regard, Yang Ming did not express any opinions.
Now that he is as busy as a dog and panting from exhaustion, if he spends his energy on unnecessary propaganda and building momentum, then he still wants to live.
He enjoys the spotlight after becoming a star, but he doesn't want to be like a puppet and be manipulated by others. Otherwise, what's the point of reviving his life?
However, it is precisely his independent personality and his behavior that differs from the public of celebrities that make him an unusual figure in the world's entertainment industry. His popularity among young people has not only not declined, but has become even crazier.
What is personality, this is.
What is willfulness, this is it.
After Yang Ming's plane arrived at Fuzhou Airport, he came out of the VIP channel, got into Su Su's car to pick him up, and quickly left the airport.
There was not a single media reporter present during the whole process. Except for the crew members and flight attendants who knew he was Yang Ming and would take photos or sign autographs with him, basically no one knew that he had returned to Fuzhou today.
It's not like other celebrities who go on a trip or take a plane and do something earth-shattering, as if they see incredible things.
Regarding this point, Yang Ming could only express his speechlessness, it was just a propaganda technique.
It's also possible that someone took a photo and uploaded it online, but most of the so-called celebrity airports are just hype.
After Su Su sent Yang Ming home, she drove away with a blushing face without going in to sit down.
"Mom, look, you scared people away." Yang Ming said to his mother speechlessly.
Just now, my mother looked at her daughter-in-law with such an enthusiastic expression that she wanted Su Su to come and sit at home, which frightened Su Su. Although the matter between her and Yang Ming had almost been settled, and the two families would officially formalize it after the year.
Sit down together and decide on the marriage.
But the more she was in this situation, the more shy Su Su felt, especially when she thought about Yang Ming's mother hinting on the phone two days ago that the two of them would have a baby soon, she felt even more embarrassed.
But Yang Ming didn't know all this.
"This girl..." Li Qiumei smiled and shook her head, "We are almost a family, but Xiao Su is still so embarrassed."
Yang Ming rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then walked into the house with a salute.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his younger sister Tongtong sitting on the sofa in the living room, playing games with her uncle Li Xingyi.
"Hey, it's Chinese New Year, why did you come to my house?" Yang Ming didn't take the gift upstairs, but casually put it at his feet, sat down on the sofa, and then lay on the sofa, making a comfortable sound.
, flying around these days, and racking my brains to think of various things, I am almost exhausted.
Throughout the whole year, only during the Chinese New Year can we completely let go of our body and mind and truly relax.
When Li Xingyi heard Yang Ming's words, he couldn't help but get angry and said: "What's wrong? I can't come here yet. I can't live with my sister. It's better for you kid. You can't see anyone all day long and worry about everything."
Throw it to me. If I don’t come here to find you, I probably won’t be able to find you!”
Among the entire Li family, Yang Ming has the best relationship with his brother-in-law. They have the same temperament, speak naturally without scruples, and don't have so much hypocrisy.
Even so, when he heard his uncle's words, he still smiled sheepishly to cover up his embarrassment.
The truth is also the same. Although he has a lot of ideas on WeChat, he has rarely been there a few times.
