1505 [Wu Zongxian]
"By the way, although the incident of Hong Kong and Taiwan being forced to make a comeback due to the wireless confusion, Ms. Zhang, don't give up easily. I think the field of TV dramas is still very promising. It can not only discover that cultivating new people, but also make some money, which is also a good thing for the branch." Xia Tian said to Zhang Aijia again.
Originally, he planned to make TV series co-produce by Hong Kong and Taiwan, which not only opened up the Taiwan market and continuously exported ATV's series to Taiwan. At the same time, he could also discover and cultivate Taiwan's film and television talents.
Although Taiwanese movies are not very good, the TV series is still very well filmed. From Qiong Yao dramas in the 1980s, to martial arts dramas in the 1990s, to idol dramas in the new century, Taiwanese TV series have always appeared on the domestic screen, accompanying generations of viewers.
Moreover, with the development of the mainland film and television industry, many Taiwanese TV people have entered the mainland to develop, such as variety show king Wu Zongxian, idol drama godmother Chai Zhiping, etc.
The advancement of these Taiwanese TV people has also made outstanding contributions to the development of the mainland TV industry. For example, the reason why Mango TV rose from dozens of provincial TV stations was because of its cooperation with Ms. Qiong Yao. Qiong Yao entered the mainland to film in the late 1980s, and the party that cooperated with her was Mango TV.
The reason why Mango TV's variety shows are so good is also closely related to the coaching of the early Taiwanese team. At the beginning, Mango TV only had enough funds to hire a producer and asked someone to come to consult a week. Later, after getting rich, the entire Taiwanese variety show team was poached by them.
Xia Tian hopes that Aijia Zhang will not only focus on movies, and do not think that only movies are good, dramas and variety shows are garbage. In fact, if dramas and variety shows are done well, it will also be very beneficial to the development of Taiwan's entertainment industry.
In his previous life, the reason why Korean dramas were able to sweep across Asia was that they started with Korean dramas. "Sky Bridge Storm", "Blue Life and Death Love", "Winter Love Song", "Dae Jang Geum"... A series of well-produced Korean dramas have quickly become household names, known to everyone, and become a tourist destination that everyone yearns for.
"I understand, Mr. Xia, I will pay attention to this aspect in the future." Zhang Aijia nodded, "By the way, Mr. Xia, there is one thing I want to tell you."
"What's the matter? Please tell me." Xia Tian asked curiously.
"Taiwan may be changing recently, and the ban order issued by the superiors may be ineffective." Zhang Aijia said in a vague manner.
Xia Tian was stunned, then suddenly realized, "What do you mean is something happened to that gentleman?"
"Well, my grandfather is the 'Presidential Office'. He told me that the gentleman is in poor health now." Zhang Aijia nodded and said.
Xia Tian nodded. Although he was not very familiar with Taiwan's political situation, he also knew that after the death of that gentleman, Taiwan was in chaos. Political parties fought fiercely, economic stagnation, social division, right and wrong, and their relationship with the mainland became increasingly alienated, from the original fellows of flesh and blood to the great enemy of life and death.
"If this is the case, then you must let Bainaohui go to the mainland for development as soon as possible, otherwise you may not be able to leave if you are too late." Xia Tian thought suddenly.
In his previous life, companies such as MediaTek and TSMC went to the mainland to set up factories, which were obstructed by the Taiwanese authorities. In the end, even if the investment was finalized, their technology was several generations behind.
Therefore, the earlier you go to the mainland to develop, the smaller the obstacles you encounter. When Bainaohui gains a foothold in the mainland, it will be useless even if the Taiwanese authorities are unhappy.
"Ms. Zhang, if that gentleman really doesn't work, I hope you can seize the opportunity, lobby above, and strive to lift the ban as soon as possible." Xia Tian then said to Zhang Aijia.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xia, I can save it." Zhang Aijia nodded.
"Okay, I'll leave first if I have nothing to do." Xia Tian stood up and said.
"There is one more thing, Mr. Xia, do you still remember Wu Zongxian?" Zhang Aijia said hurriedly.
"Of course I remember, what's wrong with him?" Xia Tian was stunned and then asked.
Of course he can't forget Wu Zongxian. Taiwan's variety show king should not be too popular in his previous life. He was still digging in this life in the summer and wrote a few songs for him, which made him famous in Taiwan.
Originally, Xia Tian wanted to sign him and then promote him to the top. At that time, he would have a variety show king in his hand, so he could be called in the Taiwanese television industry.
However, with the expansion of his career, he no longer took him seriously in the TV industry in Taiwan, so Wu Zongxian's position in his heart has also declined again and again. Before, he would meet Wu Zongxian every time he came to Taiwan, but he was no longer interested in seeing him this summer.
"He seems a little out of date now," said Zhang Aijia. "A new album was released in the middle of last year, with sales of only 100,000 copies, which is not even as good as a new singer."
"Yeah." Xia Tian was not too surprised when she said that.
This is how working in the entertainment industry is. A person’s fame is like surfing, sometimes reaching the peak, sometimes reaching the trough, and no accurate letter.
Even Liu Dehua, an evergreen filmmaker, encountered a career crisis in the mid-1990s and was forced by the rising star Cheng Yijian to almost have no way out.
At that time, Zheng Yijian also took the route of a handsome male idol, and he was younger and fresher. Especially after filming "Young and Dangerous", he became popular overnight and became a teenager idol and became a popular chicken. Filmmakers also invited him to film, so they stole many film appointments from Liu Dehua.
Fortunately, Liu Dehua received help from Wang Jing and asked him to star in "Dragon in the World", won the fourth box office of that year, re-proving his value, so he was not trampled to death by Zheng Yijian.
"That's no big deal. The album sales are not going well for a while. Wouldn't it be better to release another album?" Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled. Even the singer Zhang Xueyou, the record will not be sold at the top of the list. What's so fuss about this?
"But Rolling Stone Records intends to terminate the contract with him." Zhang Aijia said again.
"Oh, why is this? The sales of records are not good for a while, so it's not enough to terminate the contract. Who can guarantee that every record of their own sales will be sold?" Xia Tian said in surprise.
"It's mainly because he was too arrogant and didn't know how to restrain himself when he became popular, so he offended many people, and the company was unwilling to take him in again." Zhang Aijia said.
"So that's it." Xia Tian nodded.
In his previous life, Wu Zongxian was a famous big mouth. Because of his random talk, even Chou Jielun made him furious. He invited so many friends when he got married, but he didn't send him an invitation, which made him cry several times when facing the media.
So now Xia Tian is not surprised to hear that he offended people.
And he remembered the scene when he met Wu Zongxian a few times. At that time, Wu Zongxian was wearing a big gold chain, a big gold watch, and a big back. He was full of tyranny and extremely ostentatious. That look was indeed quite capable of hatred.
"But Rolling Stone Company knew that he was yours, so it was difficult to decide whether to terminate the contract or not, so I wanted to ask me for instructions." Zhang Aijia said again.
Wu Zongxian sent it to Rolling Stone Records, and he still entrusted Zhang Aijia with favors. However, now, considering that Xia Tian’s identity is so amazing, it’s up to Rolling Stone Records to depend on his expression.
"There is no need to ask me for instructions on this, just do it in business." Xia Tian smiled slightly.
"Okay, I understand if you say this. I will tell Rolling Stone Records." Zhang Aijia nodded when she saw Xia Tian say this, "But if this happens, Wu Zongxian may be in trouble."
"Everyone has his own fate, so there is no need to worry about him. Maybe this may not be a bad thing for him." Xia Tian waved his hand and said.
A temporary setback is not a bad thing for celebrities.
Wu Mengda was gambled indiscriminately and owed debts all over her body, which made people hate him. If Zhou Runfa had not refused to lend him money, he would have never changed his habit of gambling indiscriminately and would have to lose his life in the end.
In his previous life, Wu Zongxian had no noble support, so he kept struggling at the bottom of the entertainment industry. It was not until the late 1990s that he finally got a position as an outdoor host in a variety show, and then upgraded to a fixed team. Finally, he successfully hosted his own variety show and gradually grew into the king of Taiwan variety shows.
And that experience of struggling in the entertainment industry was an endless wealth for him. Because it was when he was struggling at the bottom that Wu Zongxian had developed agile reaction ability, neat eloquence, and hosting style of laughter and scolding.
Because of his own support in this life, he has less tempering and less opportunities for training. This is not a good thing for him, it is to encourage growth by storing seedlings.
