Dad's Entertainment Life

Chapter 706 CCTV Interview
The news of Lin Qirong's return to China was quickly reported by media reporters and attracted the attention of many people.

Lin Qirong had to face endless invitations and "harassment" from all sides.

"I don't even know what's going on." Lin Qirong said with a bitter smile when he received a call from Dong Manqing.

"I know what's going on." Dong Manqing said with a smile, "Now your reputation is incredible, and everyone has almost given the name of China's new generation of world-class superstar, and they treat you as a China's business card.

So everyone is very curious about your experience, especially your experience in the United States. Everyone is very interested.

So every TV station hastened to invite you to be on the show, you are now the top traffic of walking. "

"I didn't expect that I would become a traffic star." Lin Qirong smiled, "What instructions do you have, senior sister?"

Dong Manqing chuckled lightly, "I'm here to invite you too. I want to invite you to the show "People" hosted by me. I wonder if you would appreciate it?"

"Where is the senior sister?" Lin Qirong said with some trepidation, "It is my honor to be on the show you are hosting. I must be going. Just tell me the time, and I will go there."

The program "People" is mainly a talk program that invites representative figures in various fields to conduct interviews. Because of its lofty aspirations and the ideological collision between the host and guests, it is very attractive and attracts a lot of attention. It is a good evaluation Very high level program.

No matter what, Lin Qirong could not refuse.

In the same way, he can't refuse "Happy Time" on Hunan Satellite TV. Although Han Bing is busy preparing for his own movie, "Happy Time" still has to be hosted. Naturally, he will not let go of such a good topic as Lin Qirong.

After two days of rest in Shanghai, Lin Qirong flew to Kyoto and came to the recording studio to participate in "People" hosted by Dong Manqing.

The format of the show is very casual. The two people sit on the sofa in a cafe-like room and talk to each other.

Under the guidance of Dong Manqing, Lin Qirong briefly talked about his experience of growing up and becoming famous.

"I should feel lucky, because I really caught up with a good era, an era where as long as you have the ability and talent, you have many opportunities to show yourself.

Thanks to the help of some friends, I successfully sold my first script, accumulated my first pot of gold, and then founded Tonghua Entertainment, which is now Tonghua Group.

At that time, when my colleagues and I were studying the market and determining the company's development direction, we saw a market that many people were unaware of: the children's animation market.

In fact, it’s not that no one is doing this market, but it’s not doing well. Overseas, for example, Neon produces more juvenile animations, and it’s the same in China. Children’s animations are generally relatively simple and the story is not strong. , lack of interactivity, not very attractive to children

Everyone knows that I have a lovely daughter, Tongtong. I hope that my daughter can watch cartoons that are good-looking and can learn all kinds of knowledge, broaden their horizons, and inspire intelligence, so there is "Peppa Pig" and Various cartoons behind.

Taking children's animation as a breakthrough point, Tonghua Entertainment began to grow.

But what gave us great support at the time was a variety show, and that was "Happy Running".

At that time, this show encountered the same problems as most variety shows, aesthetic fatigue, declining ratings, and the situation was very dangerous.

Here I really admire Red Maple TV and the program group of "Happy Running". They did not stand still, but boldly sought new ideas from the whole society to save this program.

My colleagues and I thought a lot, and finally designed a brand new game mode, which is the game mode of "Happy Run" that everyone is familiar with later.

Our script impressed the program group, successfully seized this opportunity, and obtained a large amount of funds, which supported the development and success of the company's animation industry.

Looking back now, I was really lucky. If I had made a wrong step, maybe there would be no Tonghua Group today.

The success of that time also allowed me to confirm a concept that has been used to this day, that is, the products produced by Tonghua must be high-quality products, and we are going to take the road of quality first. This concept makes the whole society recognize us.

In this way, slowly walking over, we finally achieved today's results. "

Dong Manqing said with emotion, "So your success is definitely not accidental, but the combination of many factors.

Compared with your achievements in the business field, everyone is actually more concerned about your achievements in the music field. Now everyone thinks that you are already a world-class superstar and can really hold a world tour.

How many fans do you have around the world now? "

Lin Qirong thought for a moment before saying, "There is really no calculation in this. China is my fundamental base, and everyone's support is my most important strength.

In addition to China, my fan groups have been established in the United States, Neon, Europe and other places. Everyone is quite supportive of me, and I am very grateful.

I am able to reach this position because of my luck.

When I went to the United States, it was actually just to promote the movie and help the North American branch to develop the situation.

I never expected that I would meet friends such as Shirley and Liz, and then meet Miranda and get her support and help.

Miranda is a well-known manager all over the world and has very rich network resources. Because of her recommendation, I stepped on the stage of O'Meara's talk show for the first time, and I was really known to everyone as a singer.

This year, he even appeared on the Grammy stage to perform his own song.

Everyone knows that if I follow the normal development trajectory, I will have to work hard for a few more years. "

"Luck also requires you to have enough talent and ability, right?" Dong Manqing said with a smile, "I think Ms. Miranda will never be so dedicated to helping a singer without talent."

"Thank you, I think this should be part of the reason." Lin Qirong smiled, "During my time in the United States, I met many excellent singers, experienced many different music styles, and had a lot of emotions.

In the United States, basically everyone has studied in a conservatory, and everyone has a certain ability to compose songs, and they often compose and sing their own songs.

Creation is very important, because only the songs you create are the songs that suit you best and are also your favorite songs.

Why is a good song so important?It’s just that it’s so rare to find a song that works for you, that allows you to sing your heart out.

And if you try to create it yourself, the chances of producing a good song are much higher.

That's why singers in the United States are so good, and they often create some popular songs. "

"This seems to be quite difficult in China."

Lin Qirong smiled bitterly, "Yeah, so it's hard to find a song."

The two of them reached a tacit understanding and did not continue talking. There are too many situations where the singer has no creative ability and desperately tries to make money after a song becomes popular.

"I heard that several singers in your company have stopped all activities. Have you been to the United States?"

Lin Qirong nodded, "We let them study and train in the past. They will receive professional training there. I hope they can absorb some good aspects of American music and combine them with our own advantages in China to eventually form their own Unique style.”

"So if Chinese music wants to continue to develop, it is necessary to go abroad, right?"

Lin Qirong shook his head, "We are just trying, and we may not be able to succeed. But looking at the world is indeed what we have to do. What is national is what is world, and what is world is also national. No matter which one is missing, it is not suitable. It should be integrated with each other to form its own unique style.”

"What an admirable choice. From your words, I can hear your passion for Chinese music."

Dong Manqing said, "Now everyone has seen that the film market is developing in full swing. In the past, it was great for a movie to have a box office of more than one billion. Now it is more than one billion, and particularly good ones can reach several billion. Among you, Several of the group's works are among the best.

Can you tell us your views on the film market? "

"With the development of the economy, movies have gradually become an entertainment choice for everyone, which is the main reason why the movie industry is booming now.

There are more theaters, people have more money, ticket prices have dropped, and more movies can be watched. The combination of these factors has created the current prosperous movie industry.

Our films have achieved good results. I think it is mainly because the quality of our films is good enough. Whether it is a comedy or an animation film, we do it with heart and invest a lot.

These investments are not mainly used for remuneration, but are actually used in filming, such as special effects, and this is how our films come into being.

Everyone trusts us and recognizes the movies we shoot, so we must take every work seriously, so that the audience who support us will feel that the trip is worthwhile after entering the cinema.

We hope that the entire film market can form a virtuous circle, allowing more high-quality films to be released and some bad films to have no market, so that our box office will be higher, and our directors and actors will be more attentive to making good films. "

"It is said that you are challenging commercial blockbusters, right?"

Lin Qirong nodded, "Yes, this time we are challenging a war blockbuster. It is based on facts and the shooting is very close to reality, but the scenes are very shocking. I personally like it very much. I hope everyone will support it when the time comes.

The reason why we do this is because it is difficult for ordinary themes to go international. If the jokes in our comedies are put in the United States, people will not understand them at all and will be confused.

The same is true for our romance films and reality films. They are social values ​​that only we have. These are difficult to be popular abroad.

Only science fiction, war, and superhero themes can be accepted and recognized by them.

Although popcorn movies are simple, the key is that foreigners can understand them. As long as they like them and are willing to support them, and slowly watch more, they will understand our culture better.

We don't want to think too much. First of all, we still have to go out and make movies that everyone likes to watch, and other problems will come naturally. "

Dong Manqing couldn't help applauding.

The young man in front of me is indeed worthy of respect.
