Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

There is no so-called film and television censorship agency in this plane of China, but if you want to check whether a film and television drama is being produced, there are still many ways.For example, film production in China is used to finding bank loans. Generally, the cost of a film is borne by the bank in the early stage from one-third to one-half, and then paid back with the box office after it is released.And Huaxia's banks are basically listed companies, especially those banks that specialize in movie cost operations, so just look at the quarterly reports of these banks to guess how many movies are being produced.Secondly, the screenwriters' union, directors' union, and actors' union can also check the production progress of the film, because according to the production habits of Chinese films, recruiting screenwriters, directors and actors must go to the union.Finally, the film production process can also be seen in the film and television city's schedule.

However, in order to keep secret, many crews often give a code name before the movie is released.For example, the code name of "The Real World" during the filming period was "Crazy Love for Red Roses", which would be regarded as a shoddy love-themed low-cost movie.Because of this, many entertainment reporters and paparazzi missed this crew.Li Wei also named his production team "Prison|Prison: A World Only for Men", but this code name was ridiculed by Zhou Xiao for a long time.

"My God! Why did you come up with such a dreamy code name? Looking at the title, everyone thought it was a DVD produced by a film company such as Galaxy, Rose, and Rainbow."

The film companies listed by Zhou Xiao are actually very famous companies that shoot male-female love action movies on the earth and star plane.Although the films produced by these companies cannot enter theaters, they can be made into DVDs for sale or rental, and can also be broadcast on demand on some AO (AdultOnly) channels.

"Eh? The person who named me didn't think of those strange companies, but you thought of those companies?" Li Wei suddenly felt that he had caught something, "Tsk tsk, as a well-known idol, he still watched the productions of Yinhe, Rose and Rainbow. video?"

Zhou Xiao also realized that he had slipped up, so he changed the subject.Li Wei also knew that it would be embarrassing for both of them to continue chasing him like this, so he also pretended to be confused and changed the subject with Zhou Xiao.And after Li Wei, the new crew's name was announced, many entertainment reporters and paparazzi who followed the film industry were taken aback. When is Kylin Pictures planning to enter the special category?After the paparazzi and entertainment journalists released the news on social media, all kinds of comments rushed over.However, none of the professional film media made a sound, because they knew that this was the code name of the film Li Wei made.But they are also happy to see the entertainment media and gossip media make a fool of themselves, so they collectively chose to remain silent.

And Li Wei saw the inexplicable criticism against himself and Kirin Films on social media, and saw some experts and professors coming out of nowhere to criticize him righteously, Li Wei laughed at the monitor.Li Wei gave Kirin Pictures an order not to respond to any questions about the code name of his movie, and let the media who have no professional level and speculate wildly to embarrass themselves.

Due to the silence of Kylin Films, the self-media and public accounts chasing after Li Wei became more arrogant, as if they occupied the moral high ground.But their arrogance didn't last long. A student from the film school solved his doubts with his friends on his WeChat circle of friends.

The vast majority of directors on Earth and Star, whether they are from Huaxia, Citigroup, or even directors from Dongying, Korea, Gaul, or Miqi, when filming movies, in order to avoid being guessed by entertainment reporters. The theme and content of the movie, so they will give their crew an alias as a code name.More serious directors may use the names of their wives, children and friends as code names, or use pets, the names of the streets where they live or work, etc.; while some spoof directors will deliberately use some completely subversive names based on the original movie titles. Code name, after all, the directors have very big brains, and there is no limit to spoofing.

When this unspoken rule was made public, countless self-media and public accounts on social media began to silently delete posts, but Li Wei's fans would never let this opportunity of whipping corpses go.After co-authoring our idol, he finally turned into a director and wanted to make a movie, so you all joined forces to spread rumors that our idol is going to make movies that can’t be released, disgusting or not!

"Didn't you find a suitable scene?" Li Wei was checking the budget while looking at the report sent by the assistant director in charge of scene scouting. "If there is no suitable exterior scene, how much will the budget increase if we try to build the scene indoors? After all, we are only building a small prison, and there are only a few places that really need to be built. Ask the colleagues in the props team."

After instructing the assistant director, Li Wei rubbed his temples.For filming, interiors have the benefits of interiors, and exteriors have the benefits of exteriors.The advantage of the interior scene is that natural conditions such as lighting and climate are completely man-made and controllable, but the biggest problem is that no matter how hard the props team works and how serious the post-effects team is, the authenticity of the interior scene will still be criticized.If it is a work with big scenes and special effects, the audience will be attracted by the special effects if the interior is used for shooting.But "Redemption" filmed by Li Wei is a literary film, and the slow-paced film makes it easy for the audience to notice some details.

It seems that we can only pray that the colleagues in the props group can be more helpful, Li Wei prayed silently in his heart.Originally, Li Wei felt that the director was sitting on the director's chair and looking at the monitor, and all he had to do was say "start shooting", "come again", and "pass".Looking at it now, Li Wei feels that the director is not only the soul of the crew, but also the mother of the crew.Although the modern film industry has divided countless powers from the director, no one dares to deny that the director is the soul and leader of the crew, and the style of a film is also in line with the director's style.

The troubles of Li Wei's crew were soon known by the entertainment journalists. After all, there are no secrets in the entertainment industry.The entertainment reporters were "framed" by Li Wei last time and were greatly humiliated, so the entertainment reporters immediately united and started blackmailing Li Wei's crew.After all, Li Wei is still a very hated character in the film industry. He just took away the best actor from the Shengjing International Film Festival after he transformed from an idol. How can you embarrass other actors?Want to make a movie after just winning an actor award?Do you think you are rich?We are here to talk about money, just to destroy your crew.

So I saw in the media that today Li Wei was crying on the street because of trouble, tomorrow Li Wei was depressed and went to the doctor because of a problem with the crew, and the day after tomorrow there was news of Li Wei's death in the media, because Li Wei couldn't bear the failure of the crew and chose Take sleeping pills.

Seeing the incomparably big ideas of the entertainment reporters, Li Wei could only read the newspaper and wonder why some people think that the level of screenwriters in Huaxia Kingdom is not high?Dare to be a high-level screenwriter to go to the major entertainment media as entertainment journalists.It seems that next time when the company recruits screenwriters, a threshold should be added, and screenwriters who have not worked as entertainment journalists will not be recruited.Look at the ability of these screenwriters to tell stories with pictures, even plots without pictures can be rounded out by their brains.

"According to this rhythm, it's time to hold my memorial service in a few days." Li Wei couldn't help complaining to Zhou Xiao, "I was just staying in the crew to study the scenery setting with my colleagues in the props group, but now it's not It made me depressed. It looks like I have to arrange a public outing tomorrow, otherwise these unscrupulous media don’t know what kind of things they will do.”

Li Wei is actually one of the few idols in the entertainment industry who are not afraid of the media. He has his own entertainment company and media company, so it is completely impossible to use the so-called public opinion to coerce Li Wei.

Now the prime-time ratings of Qilin Entertainment and Qilin Drama under the name of Li Wei have reached the top 20 among cable channels. You must know that there are at least 15 cable TVs in the country. Such ratings are already good, not to mention The entertainment station has only been on the air for half a year, while the drama station has been on the air for less than a month.The entertainment channel mainly focuses on variety shows, dramas, reality shows and other programs, mainly targeting the 35- to 25-year-old group; while the drama channel mainly focuses on TV dramas, and then a movie will be broadcast in the middle of the night every day, mainly targeting 45-year-olds. age group to [-] years old.

In addition, the HMC (HomeMovieChannel) series movie channel that Kylin Broadcasting Company is building is also in preparation, and it is estimated that it will be launched one after another in the summer of next year.However, unlike drama stations and entertainment stations, which are free cable channels, HMC series movie channels are paid channels. There will be ten channels in total in the HMC series, among which Flagship Channel, Popular Channel and Youth Channel are Platinum Channels, so the fees will be relatively high; while Pioneer Channel, Family Channel and Children’s Channel will be Silver Channels, and the fees will be relatively low. The general paid cable channels are the same; the remaining women's channels, comedy channels, Feiyue channels and super channels are gold channels, and the charges are roughly the same as or slightly higher than the premium premium cable channels.

In terms of print media, the newly established Kylin Publishing Group under the Kylin Group acquired Times Media Group. After careful selection, it retained the seven major publications under the Times Media Group, known as the "Seven Kylin Sisters": "Time Magazine , Fortune Weekly, People Weekly, Wine & Dine, Movie Review, Sports Illustrated and Sports & Travel.

In addition, the Kylin Publishing Group has also established the Kylin Club, and the comic empire in Li Wei's mind is about to start operating.Although Li Wei divided Kirin Club into five major editorial departments, only the editorial department for boys and girls is currently in the preparation period for publishing. They will be in charge of the first weekly magazine "Shounen Manga" and the first monthly magazine of Kirin Club. Planning and publication of "Shojo Manga".The remaining three major editorial departments for youth, women and danmei are still in the internal structure.

After being hacked by entertainment reporters for almost a week, Li Wei finally accepted an exclusive interview with People Weekly. "People Weekly" can be regarded as a magazine with good texture and credibility, but the targets of their exclusive interviews are not only political and economic figures, but also celebrities or popular figures in the sports, cultural, and entertainment circles. .What's more, Li Wei is now the boss of "People Weekly", and the magazine has to boast for his boss.

However, Li Wei did not embarrass the reporters and editors of "People Weekly", he said that it is good to report truthfully.In fact, the truth is the biggest and sharpest weapon. It is a pity that in this era, everyone is used to lies, and instead feels afraid of the truth.

In several hours of interviews, Li Wei sorted out his love for movies. He said that he always wanted to be a film director.The reason why I set up a film company or become a film actor are just some of the pre-work for becoming a film director.Because Li Wei doesn't want to be constrained, but also wants to understand how to turn his own concepts into words that actors can interpret.
