Perfect Superstar

Many people don't know that CCTV also makes movies. It has a professional film production department and produces more than a dozen movies every year. No matter in terms of scale, strength or output, it is not inferior to large film companies.

However, the films produced by CCTV are mainly documentaries, followed by self-produced dramas, and the broadcast channel is not theaters, but its own movie channel, which is also sold overseas.

In recent years, the film department of CCTV has begun to set foot in the field of commercial films, and has participated in the shooting and production of many commercial blockbusters, and has achieved quite good results.

Of course, from the perspective of a commercial film company, it is undoubtedly a good thing to be able to cooperate with CCTV. The latter's strength is beyond doubt, its promotional capabilities are unmatched, and its production and shooting standards are top-notch in the country.

But CCTV's brand is too big, and its vision is very picky. Not everyone is qualified to cooperate with them.

Lu Chen has been in the film and television industry for a long time, so he naturally knows some inside stories, so when Dong Fanghao, the director of CCTV's film production department, personally approached him to discuss co-production of "Swordsman", he was somewhat surprised.

"Our department became independent at the end of last year..."

Dong Fanghao is in his forties. He looks dignified and well-dressed. He has the appearance of a typical successful person. He doesn't have much temperament of a person in the system, and he is more like an elite galloping in the mall.

Regarding Lu Chen's doubts, he explained with a smile: "A new film and television company has been established to engage in film shooting, production and promotion. Although it is still affiliated with CCTV, it is self-financing."

Lu Chen suddenly realized, and naturally understood Dong Fanghao's purpose.

Xinshiying is like a son, no, more precisely, a grandson of Mr. CCTV, and he is still one of them. He used to be raised in the mansion to provide food and drink for offerings, but now he has established his own family.

It is definitely not a bad thing to set up your own family, which means greater autonomy, but although the blood relationship is still there, the uncle doesn't care about his grandson's food and drink, and he will have to rely on his grandson to earn money in the future.

Dong Fanghao also serves as the general manager of New Video, and has a large number of people under him, so how can he not worry?

Without completely relying on CCTV, Xinshiying will naturally fail. Actively looking for business opportunities and developing markets is the way to survive.

But despite this, the background of the new video is still something that no one can ignore!

Lu Chen couldn't help being very interested, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Director Dong, I very much welcome the cooperation with New Video, but currently "Swordsman" already has many partners, so the specific cooperation plan may still need to be developed." We sat down and discussed in detail."

After Chenfei Media released the news of the big movie "Swordsman" being cast, I don't know how many people came to the door. Except for the few inherent cooperative units, the major domestic film companies and theaters basically said that interest in cooperation.

Not to mention inside the circle, there are also a lot of guys waving money outside the circle who have broken through the threshold. Because the novel "Swordsman" has considerable influence in China, it has created a large number of fans of new martial arts novels, and Chen Fei Media The marketing and promotion of the Internet has become a popular IP, and the market potential is huge.

The most important thing is that both Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er will star in "Swordsman", and the director is targeting Chen Guozhi. With these three top stars joining, it will be difficult to lose money unless it is a random filming.

Has Chenfei Media ever done a loss-making business? The answer is obviously no.

So it's only normal for New Video to want to get involved.

Lu Chen is also welcome, who is cooperation with? The key is whether it can bring benefits.

Xinshiying has enough qualifications, but the premise is not to be too greedy, and Lu Chen has to take care of all interests.

In just over three years since his debut, Lu Chen has grown from a nameless boy living in an underground dwelling to a top star with a fortune of more than one billion. In addition to relying on the wealth of memories from the dream world, it is also because he understands The principle of "the right is more helpful than the wrong", is willing to give up the immediate benefits in exchange for long-term development.

People who like to eat alone,

He is not welcome anywhere, but knowing how to share benefits does not mean that he does not have his own persistence and bottom line. Lu Chen has always done a good job in this regard.

Dong Fanghao said seriously: "Of course, I came here today mainly to meet with you, Mr. Lu. We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. Even if this time fails, there will be next time, next time."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you Director Dong for your understanding."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Dong Fanghao stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave, because Lu Chen came to the rehearsal today.

Lu Chen's expression changed, and he wanted to say something more, but hesitated.

Unexpectedly, Dong Fanghao was very perceptive, and immediately asked with a smile: "Mr. Lu, just tell me if you have anything to say!"

He sat down again: "As long as I can help, that's fine."

Lu Chen was hesitant to say it at first, but when he saw Dong Fanghao's firm attitude, he simply shook his head: "I have an idea..."

As he spoke, he asked his assistant to bring the tablet, and opened the project document stored in it for Dong Fanghao to read.

Lu Chen's idea didn't come into being for a long time. It was during his martial arts competition with Li Zhecheng in South Korea, and that was to hold a large-scale casting event for the big movie "Swordsman"!

The form of the casting activity refers to the popular reality TV shows nowadays, and the selected objects are those young people who have practiced martial arts, such as traditional martial arts, Sanda, free kickboxing, taekwondo, judo, etc. The purpose is to select the outstanding ones , participated in the filming and production of "Swordsman" movies, TV series, and future martial arts IP.

Lu Chen's brewing preparations for the martial arts big ip plan started very early. The Lu family class is one of the teams he created for this plan. If it is a long-form TV series, it will be even worse.

Therefore, the expansion of the Lu family class is imperative, and holding a casting event is undoubtedly the most convenient and fast way to select outstanding talents!

Originally, Lu Chen planned to cooperate with Beijing TV, but when he met Dong Fanghao today, he wondered if he could cooperate with CCTV to produce this talent show?

Because whether it is strength or influence, it is easy for CCTV to crush Beijing TV. Because the movie is about to start shooting, he did not leave too much time for this event, so a strong partner is needed to solve many problems. .

If CCTV is interested, it is undoubtedly the best choice.

As for this movie casting event, Lu Chen named the theme of it--Eight Winds and Winds will meet the capital!
