Chapter 1448 All in a hurry(1/2)
Yanjing Tongzhou Film and Television Shooting Base, where the crew of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is located.
Zhao Jianfeng wore a sun hat and sunglasses and looked at the crew filming with a relaxed expression. He has been with the Tongzhou crew these days to supervise the filming progress. Now there are less than two months until New Year's Day, and he said he feels a little uneasy.
It's impossible to be anxious.
But he also knows that impatience can't solve any problems.
Therefore, after he came to Tongzhou, apart from cheering for the crew, he did not interfere with the filming of the crew.
Qi Dazhong is the director of the play "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".
He is also one of the top directors in the film and television industry and has produced several TV series with popular ratings.
So this time, under the temptation of Zhao Jianfeng's huge sum of money, he agreed to join the crew and direct this drama.
In Qi Dazhong's opinion, there is no difficulty in filming a film and television drama based on ancient legends like "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". The storyline has long been disseminated among the people. As long as he makes a plot that the public finds familiar, he can
It is enough to stir the audience's memories.
In addition, in terms of the selection of actors, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are guaranteed to be handsome men and beautiful women. If they are well-liked by the audience, there will be no big problems in this drama.
Therefore, even though Qi Dazhong knew that this drama did not have a mature script, he still took over the direction of this drama.
Even later, the investors kept asking the crew to speed up the filming process, but he didn't take it too seriously.
The love legend between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is known to everyone in China. In this case, he can just film the story according to the folklore without any adaptation.
In Qi Dazhong's opinion, what this drama sells is not the plot, but the love.
He glanced at Zhao Jianfeng who was standing outside the venue and smiled imperceptibly. It's really hard to find such generous investors now. If he can get this line this time, he won't have to worry about his plans in the future.
"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is a meeting gift. He wants this young investor to see his strength.
In his heart, he never thought about the possibility of this TV series failing.
Because Qi Dazhong knows the film and television drama market very well, or in other words, he can accurately grasp what the audience wants to see every time, so he shoots these for the audience to see.
Folklore film and television themes like Butterfly Lovers are not worth mentioning.
Off the field.
Zhao Jianfeng was very satisfied when he saw the crew busy filming.
Although director Qi Dazhong asked for a bit higher price, he did have the capital to ask for such a high price.
Not only can the crew be close to finishing filming in such a short period of time, but according to the news from the national television station, some edited footage was previously sent over, and the response from the national television station was very good.
It can be seen that this director's reputation is not spread casually.
Just then.
The cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated crazily.
Now when he is on the set, his mobile phone adjusts the vibration mode.
Zhao Jianfeng took out his mobile phone and checked the number, then turned around and left the shooting location, finding a convenient place to answer the call.
Before he could speak, an anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Jianfeng, something big happened. That guy Yang Ming suddenly came out with a music piece with Butterfly Lovers as the theme. Now it has become the focus of media reports, and the old guys in the music industry have also gone completely crazy for Yang Ming's music. They all took the lead.
We all agree that Yang Ming’s music is simply the most classic soundtrack to the legend of Butterfly Lovers in history!!”
Bai Chongshi's rather urgent voice came over the phone, which made Zhao Jianfeng feel nervous.
Although he had not cooperated with Bai Chongshi for a long time, he also knew what kind of person he was.
Since this guy is known as the "cunning fox" in the domestic entertainment industry, he will definitely not be anxious to call him for trivial matters.
Something big must have happened.
Otherwise the other person wouldn't be so anxious and nervous.
"What's going on?" Zhao Jianfeng asked in a low voice after scanning the surrounding area with the phone.
There was a sigh from the other end of the phone, and then Bai Chongshi explained to Zhao Jianfeng.
After a long time, Zhao Jianfeng hung up the phone with a gloomy expression.
The phone was held tightly in his hand, as if he wanted to crush it.
He really didn't expect that Yang Ming would throw out such a musical work at this time, and suddenly put himself and the TV series "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" being filmed into a corner, putting him in an awkward position.
situation.
After thinking for a while, he did not return to the set, but drove directly back to Yanjing.
Tongzhou District is not far from Yanjing, only an hour at most.
When Zhao Jianfeng returned to Yanjing and hurried to the company, it was already 12 o'clock noon.
Several senior executives who were already waiting for him in the company immediately told him the latest situation. After hearing the reports from the people below, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Chen Luobin, He Xinqiu, Zhang Zhen, Zhao Bohua...
Originally, Zhao Jianfeng was still lucky and thought Bai Chongshi was exaggerating. But now, even though he knew nothing about the domestic music industry, he was still shocked when he heard these names.
In the past, all of them were Taishan Beidou in the Chinese music scene.
The music scene here is not the so-called music scene in the current entertainment industry, but the real music scene, the music scene that stands at the top of Chinese music.
Even Zhao Jianfeng clearly remembers that the music textbooks he attended when he was a child contained works by these great Chinese music masters.
Even after all these years, it still hasn't changed.
This shows the status of these people in the Chinese music and art world.
Say something exaggerated.
Even when the leaders of the Chinese state meet these people, they will respectfully address them as "someone old"!
This has nothing to do with status or position, it is simply that these few people have won the respect of the world through their achievements in music.
But now these people all stood up to praise Yang Ming's music work, thinking that this piece of music is the most suitable and consistent music creation in the history of the love legend "Butterfly Lovers".
As a result, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", which is being filmed here with great fanfare, suddenly became embarrassed.
In other words, how should Qi Dazhong arrange the music for "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"?
No matter how Victory Pictures and Zhonghuang Entertainment score the music, it must be compared with Yang Ming’s version of the Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto.
If it is not as good as Yang Ming's violin, then this will undoubtedly be the best stepping stone for Yang Ming's "Butterfly Lovers" violin, both for the two film industry giants and for the national television station.
What does this mean to them?
In fact, the release of a classic piece of music is not a bad thing for the film and television industry, it is even a good thing.
If it were someone else who composed the song "Butterfly Lovers", Zhao Jianfeng would not take it seriously at all.
He can definitely arrange for someone to obtain the copyright to use this music, and use it in "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" that is currently being filmed, adding luster to the TV series.
But the key is that the person who created this music now is Yang Ming!
When he heard the people below asking about contacting Oriental DreamWorks and trying to get the music copyright from Yang Ming, Zhao Jianfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. These people were too idealistic.
It's simply wishful thinking.
He waved his hand and asked everyone below to go out, and he stayed alone in the office to calm down.
Feeling upset and angry, I couldn't help but light a cigarette.
He began to think about how to deal with the situation at hand.
It is obviously impossible to obtain the music copyright from Yang Ming.
Others don't know.
Didn't he know that Yang Ming suddenly produced a piece of music with the theme of "Butterfly Lovers" at this time, which was definitely a bad intention.
I came here for the film "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" currently being filmed by Victory Pictures.
Don’t even think about using Yang Ming’s music to score this TV series.
It's simply impossible.
This road is blocked, so what if we try to get by? Zhao Jianfeng suddenly thought in his mind.
But he soon rejected the idea.
Both the government and the entertainment industry have made great efforts to protect genuine copyrights. Piracy is definitely a taboo for the entertainment industry.
Once you touch it, your reputation will be ruined.
And even if he agrees, Qi Dazhong probably won't agree either.
These people who are involved in the entertainment industry all regard reputation and image as extremely important and will never entertain such an idea.
Moreover, having said that, this TV series will be broadcast on national television. If it is exposed that copyright infringement goes to court, the national television cannot afford to lose face. Unless Zhao Jianfeng does not want to cooperate with the national television in the future, otherwise this
I can only hide my thoughts on the sidelines in my heart and cannot say them out loud.
Zhao Jianfeng walked back and forth in the office, but still couldn't come up with a good solution.
The timing of the other party bringing out this music was terrible.
