Chapter 1240 Interview(1/2)
In the end, Bian Mingcheng left Yang Ming's office with an excited expression.
He is preparing to start filming the second part of "Transformers".
After Yang Ming saw Bian Mingcheng leaving, he couldn't help but sigh.
Oriental DreamWorks is developing too fast, and the company's current talent pool cannot keep up with the company's development. This is the negative impact of excessive expansion. This is also the biggest flaw of Oriental DreamWorks compared to those established giants.
The foundation is shallow.
Bian Mingcheng can be said to be one of the top-notch directors that Oriental DreamWorks has trained in recent years.
Moreover, he had worked as an assistant director with Yang Ming for a year, and he was well aware of Yang Ming's philosophy and attitude towards commercial films, so he was competent enough to take over the filming of "Transformers".
no way.
Now that the company is developing so fast, if Yang Ming had to do everything personally for every movie, then he would not do anything. He would spend every day of the 365 days a year filming.
This is not the life Yang Ming wants.
After careful consideration, Yang Ming realized that his current industry is getting bigger and bigger. Even though he has a professional team responsible for supervising operations, he still has to gradually transfer his energy.
Therefore, he plans to make one movie every year in the future.
Only when the talents under the company have grown up can he really let go of Oriental DreamWorks and let it face the stormy waves of the international film market alone.
Through several film and television works, Bian Mingcheng is fully capable of filming the second part of "Transformers". Yang Ming decided to let him take over this time, which was also a very determined decision.
At the same time, it can be regarded as Yang Ming's test of Oriental DreamWorks' future plans to see if his plan can succeed.
Not long after Bian Mingcheng left, Wu Yuanzhi's call came in.
After the release of Yang Ming's new film "The Fast and the Furious", it set off a movie-watching frenzy around the world. Not only did it take the lead in breaking the box office record of 200 million yuan in a single day in China, opening a new chapter in the history of Chinese-language films, but it also became popular in the United States.
It also achieved outstanding box office results after its release.
It is only one step away from breaking the single-day box office record of over 100 million yuan in American film history.
What shocks and excites Chinese filmmakers the most is the U.S. record of breaking 100 million in a single day. Even all Hollywood film companies have broken it. They have repeatedly tried to hit this record, but they have always failed.
But now this record is about to be broken by a Chinese film.
Now that the Chinese people have heard this news through the media, why don't their national pride rise to the top?
As the two major powers in the world today, China and the United States are facing ubiquitous competition in every industry, and the film and culture industry is no exception.
In the past two days, Yang Ming has once again become a influential figure in China and the United States.
Wu Yuanzhi naturally did not want to miss the opportunity and immediately called Yang Ming, hoping that he could do an exclusive interview for Phoenix TV.
If Yang Ming doesn't agree, she will fly to Yanjing immediately.
How could Yang Ming not agree when he saw Wu Yuanzhi's situation?
Although he is more bothered by interviews, that's because he doesn't like his private life to be disturbed by the media, but his own media still needs support.
I have to say that if Yang Ming was just an ordinary celebrity, he would have been followed and secretly photographed by the paparazzi.
But Yang Ming is not an ordinary movie star after all. He is also a giant in the domestic media industry.
It was because of his status that the media did not do anything inappropriate.
Besides, the impact of the court case between Yang Ming and several media outlets has not dissipated yet. It is still vivid in my mind. According to the laws of contemporary China, the domestic media really dare not follow and secretly photograph and expose Yang Ming's private life.
Yang Ming is no longer the Yang Ming he was five years ago.
By the afternoon.
The people arranged by Wu Yuanzhi have already arrived at the company.
Oriental DreamWorks has been expanding rapidly in recent years. Every year, well-known celebrities and artists sign up to join Oriental DreamWorks. Because of Yang Ming, Oriental DreamWorks and Phoenix TV almost wear the same pants.
Everyone in the entertainment industry is aware of the relationship between Oriental DreamWorks and Phoenix TV.
Therefore, any celebrity artist who signs to join Oriental DreamWorks will basically have the opportunity to be exposed on TV stations to increase their popularity.
Because of this, Oriental DreamWorks has a special room where Phoenix TV can conduct exclusive interviews and conversations with its star artists.
At this time, Yang Ming was sitting in this room, looking at the camera with a calm face, smiling and waving to the camera. After the broadcast, he was greeting the audience.
The host is a beautiful woman in professional attire, holding a microphone and looking neat and tidy.
Yang Ming touched his nose. The Phoenix of Phoenix TV, coupled with Wu Yuanzhi's factors, made Phoenix TV seem to be born with a slight increase in yin and a decline in yang since its establishment.
There are an endless stream of strong women with queen-like looks in Taiwan.
The host in front of me is no exception.
After seeing Yang Ming, he didn't have any restraint, but was extremely generous. He made several jokes with Yang Ming one after another, without being tactful because of Yang Ming's identity.
Everyone around was sweating for this female host named Zhou Fang.
After a while, the interview began.
"Mr. Yang, first of all, I would like to congratulate your new film "Fast and Furious" for once again breaking the single-day box office record at home and abroad. How do you feel at this time?" Zhou Fang asked straight to the point, asking about a topic that everyone is concerned about.
.
"The domestic box office has indeed broken the single-day box office record, but it has not been confirmed yet in the United States. As for my feelings, I think in addition to the joy of success, there is also greater pressure." Yang Ming said calmly, not at all like a young person.
The energy is like that of a middle-level person with rich experience in the workplace. His speech is impeccable. Although it is plain, it makes people unable to find fault.
Zhou Fang was not very satisfied when she heard Yang Ming's answer. To be honest, if she hadn't been sure that the person sitting in front of her was Yang Ming, she would have really doubted whether the other person was a veteran in the entertainment industry.
Thinking of this, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she asked slowly: "Our Chinese film industry has developed rapidly in recent years. Five years ago, when the Chinese film market had not yet entered the new century, the total annual box office was only
It’s only about 20 billion yuan, and since Mr. Yang’s appearance, every
Movies are all box office hits. If we look at the data, last year the total domestic box office of your two "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms" reached an unprecedented 5 billion yuan. Before the new century, it was almost equivalent to 4 billion yuan in the local film market that year.
One-third of the box office output, what do you think of that?"
"Even last year, the total annual box office of local movies did not exceed 100 billion yuan. Hollywood accounted for 40% of the box office, while Oriental DreamWorks accounted for 10%. Your movie accounted for one-twentieth, which is almost
5%, now Oriental DreamWorks has become the backbone of domestic films, what is your comment on this?"
When Yang Ming heard Zhou Fang's sharp question, he gave the other party a meaningful look. The other party had obviously prepared these words for a long time and didn't throw them out until now. He probably had to prepare them for a long time.
Maybe Wu Yuanzhi also contributed a lot behind the scenes.
However, he did not blame the other party.
As a media, you must be level-headed. If you avoid sensitive issues when it comes to your own people, the impartiality of the media will be lost, which will undoubtedly be very detrimental to the long-term development of Phoenix TV.
After Zhou Fang said these words, everyone in the room held their breaths, especially Sister Zhu who was sitting on the other side, who wanted to stop the interview immediately.
As an agent, she is most annoyed by such pointed questions. A bad answer will cause countless problems.
Yang Ming smiled leisurely, then elegantly picked up the tea on the table, took a slow sip, looked at Zhou Fang and said: "First of all, we have to see that eight years ago, the top officials of the government were prepared to vigorously develop the local film industry and conduct film production.
Since the reform, the total box office data of local movies has increased several times every year, and this trend has not yet come to an end."
"Compared with five years ago, the total annual box office of local movies has increased five times. There should be no problem in exceeding 100 billion this year."
"The reason why Oriental DreamWorks has been able to grow in such a short period of time is also due to the strong support of the local film industry from the general environment. We are not the only one who has made achievements at Oriental DreamWorks. The entire film industry has made great progress.
Development, at least in my opinion, the contribution of China Brothers Media, Royal Entertainment and other companies to the box office of domestic movies is much greater than that of Oriental DreamWorks."
Yang Ming avoided the important points and answered Zhou Fang's questions lightly.
He even cited the proportion of China Brothers Media and Royal Entertainment's annual box office data to prove what he said.
Zhou Fang held the microphone and smiled, but she felt helpless in her heart.
My boss is so cunning.
Her intention was to focus the topic on the achievements of Oriental DreamWorks in recent years, creating controversial issues, and attracting more people to pay attention to the interview after the program is broadcast.
But the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. After listening for a while, she suddenly realized that the topic of the interview had changed to 'films discussing the rapid development of China'?
"The rapid development of local films has benefited from the government's care for domestic films over the years. Various preferential policies have built a solid policy foundation and platform, which has begun to continue to ferment and will play a fundamental supporting role in the long term. The cultural industry has become a national
Among the pillar industries of the economy, the film industry is on fire
The role of the vanguard and vanguard. In addition, the rapid development of local films is also related to China's strong economic strength. The country is strong and the people are prosperous. The consumption power of our Chinese people is not lower than that of any other country. It is precisely because of this that film consumption has increased.
Expenditures account for only a negligible portion of people's income."
"However, compared with the mature film market in the United States, China's film market is still far behind. The main reason is that the theater facilities in third- and fourth-tier cities are not yet in place. Once our film screening network is laid out in third- and fourth-tier cities and towns,
It will definitely be a piece of cake to complete and surpass the American film market."
Yang Ming talked eloquently, combining his understanding of the entire contemporary film industry with the context of the rapid development of the Chinese film industry in previous generations, and talked about a lot of his unique personal understanding.
He naturally knew that Zhou Fang, the person opposite, wanted to bring the topic to Oriental DreamWorks or himself, so that he could create a topic.
There are many popular people and the same goes for the company that is too popular.
Oriental DreamWorks' current annual movie box office output is estimated to be that no company in the entire local film industry, except for a few established giants, can rival Oriental DreamWorks.
Even the reason why those established giants have not been left behind by Oriental DreamWorks is because the number of movies they produce every year is several times that of Oriental DreamWorks.
Since you can't win in terms of quality, you can beat them in terms of quantity.
Zhou Fang's original intention was to highlight the personal achievements of Oriental DreamWorks and Yang Ming, and to use it as a gimmick for this interview, creating a greater eyeball effect.
