Entering March, with the end of the battle between "Huan Zhuge Ge" and "Love Through Time" in February, the entire TV audience seems to have entered a period of weakness.
Several TV series released during this period did not receive very good ratings.
In particular, Abao Entertainment's blockbuster "Youth" failed miserably in ratings.
It was broadcast on a major TV station like Zhejiang TV, but it only got an average ratings of 2.1% and a maximum of 5.3%.
To be honest, this kind of ratings is definitely not the worst, it is definitely above the standard.
But "Youth" was scolded as shit.
why
The production cost of "Young Boy" is as high as 100 million. It stars up-and-coming young actor William Lin and the number one actress Xu Rui. The director is Tian Nianfeng, who is well-known and is good at making love TV dramas.
Do you think it's embarrassing for such a powerful combination to have such low ratings, even worse than the opening results of "Love Through Time"
The funniest thing is what Yang Feng, the boss of Abao Technology and Abao Entertainment, said before the broadcast, "I will bring a new era to the entertainment industry."
Many netizens have been making crazy complaints about Boss Yang during this period.
"Director Yang, you are a genius on the Internet, but you really don't understand the entertainment industry!"
"I just laughed. Where did he get the confidence to speak like this?"
"It also brings a new era? Is it an era of bad movies? Look at the artificial plots, stiff performances, and expression techniques from 20 years ago... all of this makes me feel too horrified."
"Yeah, especially after we just watched such excellent TV series as "Huan Zhuge Ge" and "Love Through Time", watching "Youth" again, it's like being fed a bunch of food!"
"Didn't Boss Yang say that? Professional things should be done by professionals. If you are not the right person, why don't you go into troubled waters!"
"Who says it's not the case? Look at Mr. Chu, is he ever proud? Is he ever inflated? This is the real big shot!"
“…”
Seeing these comments, Yang Kaixin was so angry that he yelled, put on a trumpet and started arguing with others on the Internet.
But how can the innocent little princess be the opponent of those trolls
He was defeated in just three or five strokes.
Then she could only call back in despair to comfort her father.
Unexpectedly, Yang Feng was in good condition and was not affected at all.
As expected, Boss Yang didn't pay his salary for two months back then, and he was still a cheerful person every day.
He can turn even a big pit like Abao Technology into a cornucopia. The failure of a mere TV series will not affect his decision at all.
Everything has a probability.
Since "Youth" failed, there will be several similar big productions in the future. When one of them succeeds, it will be a good start.
All right.
You can't say that Yang Feng, a layman, is too optimistic.
After all, Yang Feng has always been a very tough person.
The spirit of insisting on getting things done is the source of his repeated miracles.
However, many people familiar with the matter shook their heads at Yang Feng's thoughts.
Every other line is like a mountain.
Even Wall Street can't handle Hollywood, let alone the Chinese entertainment industry.
So Sang Cai bit the bullet and went to find the boss.
"President, you often say that you should use popularity to gain attention. Now there is a very good and very good novel. I think we can buy the copyright." Sang Cai said to Yang Feng.
Yang Feng became interested, "What novel is it? Is it so powerful?"
"Of course!" Sang Cai glanced at him, ""The Story of Xiaoba" even made my daughter cry. I don't know how many people it touched!"
Yang Feng's eyes moved.
Sang Cai didn't say that he had forgotten it.
Yang Feng is very interested in martial arts stories, but he is not so interested in these modern urban novels.
But Yang Feng still admired the novels written by Chu Liuxiang.
Especially "The Gift of Room No. 7", being able to write a novel like this and achieve such an achievement is definitely the most unique in the past twenty years.
Yang Feng has also read a little bit about "The Story of Xiaoba" after "The Gift from Room 7", but he is also not interested in this kind of emotion between people and pets.
On the other hand, the three wives and daughter Yang Kaixin were mesmerized by what they saw.
After the protagonist died, they cried so hard that they cried sadly.
Those who didn’t know thought something had happened to the family.
Yang Feng also knows that "Xiao Ba's Story" has touched many people, and there are even groups such as the "Protect Xiao Ba Alliance" on the Internet.
It is said that this has promoted the improvement of the living environment of many pets, which is unexpected.
"Can you still get the copyright to "Xiao Ba's Story"?" Yang Feng tilted his head and asked Sang Cai, "Hasn't it been finished for a while?"
Although he still doesn't want to rely on Chu Liuxiang's novels to open a way, but with the failure of "Youth", he is no longer so rigid.
Yang Feng planned to discuss cooperation with Shen Huan after he succeeded in a work.
It would be great if I could get "Xiaoba's Story" in advance.
"Although "The Story of Xiaoba" is over, ordinary people can't find Teacher Chu Liuxiang? So they can only let Director Zhu Mei do it." Sang Cai's eyes flashed, "But our Abao Technology is different, but we know Teacher Chu Liuxiang’s contact information!”
Everyone in China knew about Chu Liuxiang's donation to Abao Technology, but Abao Technology kept the specific identity of Chu Liuxiang strictly confidential.
Even within Abao Technology, there are no more than 5 people who know the story and details of this incident.
Even Sang Cai didn't know who Chu Liuxiang was.
Otherwise, he would have come to ask for the script himself instead of coming to Yang Feng.
Shall I show up
Yang Feng knew what he meant immediately.
He immediately rejected the idea: "No, Teacher Chu... is not that easy to negotiate. If you are like this, you can discuss it with Director Zhu Mei and see if she can come with the story and let us invest in the production! Money matters are easy to solve, so why can’t we compare to Shanhai.com?”
Sang Cai felt disappointed.
At this time, he didn't even know if the president and Chu Liuxiang were friends.
Why is it that since the establishment of Abao Entertainment until now, he has been opposed to it every time it was mentioned
In addition to using personal relationships, it would be ten times more difficult if you wanted to steal the film production rights of Zhu Mei's team from Shanhai.com in an open and aboveboard manner!
I have cooperated so well with Shanhai.com, so why do I have to come to your side to wade through the muddy waters
