As soon as the interview with Wang Zhengfei in Time Magazine came out, Wang Zhengfei, who had been slightly less popular because he went to film, suddenly came to the front of the stage again.
Wang Zhengfei is on the cover of Time Magazine. He is the fourth Asian artist to be on the cover of Time Magazine after Ayumi Hamasaki, Zhang Huimei and Jay Chou. It is also the first time that a mainland artist has appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. This is
The honor can be imagined.
Although Time Magazine is not an entertainment magazine, but a factual magazine, you can imagine how difficult it is for artists to be included in the magazine. You can imagine that only single-digit artists have appeared on the cover in so many years.
However, although this incident is a bit unexpected, in general, it is also expected. Wang Zhengfei's appearance on the cover of "Times" is indeed a bit sudden, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully. With Wang Zhengfei's current reputation and ability,
It is natural to appear in "Times Magazine", but even so, Wang Zhengfei still became the front page headlines of major media newspapers because of this incident. Wang Zhengfei has become a typical candidate who has a double harvest in love and career, and is proud in love and career.
.
“Wang Zhengfei appears on the cover of Time Magazine in March!”
“Wang Zhengfei became the cover character of Time, exclaiming that Wang Zhengfei’s influence has spread throughout Asia!”…
"Wang Zhengfei has led an era of trends. Although he has only been around for a short time, it is undeniable that his influence has spanned an era. The Chinese entertainment industry, and even the Asian entertainment industry, have not seen such a trend for a long time.
He is a very dominant artist in the debate. There is no doubt that Wang Zhengfei is such an artist. As long as he is involved in the field, he will show a dominant state. He is still young and his future is limitless!"
"Who could have imagined that in 2003, this young man appeared in our field of vision. In just a few years, he had already become the King of Asia. His talent amazed everyone, and his dedication also impressed everyone.
This is Wang Zhengfei!"
Wang Zhengfei put down the newspaper, and now the newspaper is full of stories about him becoming the cover of Time.
In recent times, media reporters have never taken their eyes away from him. He even thought that the media was so boring. Is there nothing else in the entertainment industry? They kept paying attention to his affairs.
It should be said that the entertainment industry has been too quiet recently, otherwise anything that happens should not be just like this!
In the past few days, as the filming start time gradually approached, Wang Zhengfei stopped going back and basically stayed in Shaanxi. The crew was gradually set up, and all the staff arrived one after another. Everything unfolded in an orderly manner, but
Wang Zhengfei himself still needs to take charge here.
This time Wang Zhengfei decided to finish shooting the exterior scenes first, and then go to Hengdian to shoot some indoor scenes. However, due to the special nature of "After Ascension", a large number of scenes in "After Ascension" were completed in the wild, and quite a few of them were also shot in the wild.
Inseparable from the green scenery, the indoor scenes are reduced to a considerable part.
Wang Zhengfei had to take charge here personally. Speaking of his assistant, he still lacked a permanent assistant. Xingchen Entertainment was still too short of manpower. No matter how strong Xingchen Entertainment seemed to be now, one thing could not be changed, and that was its foundation.
The shortcomings are that although money in the entertainment industry is very useful, it is not unfavorable. Otherwise, why do you need favors, connections, and reputation? Everyone has tens of thousands of dollars to play games. You must know that although Xingchen Entertainment is considered first-class in the entertainment industry
Rich people, nouveau riche, but from the perspective of China as a whole, they can only be regarded as the middle class. Playing capital games will only end up with internal injuries. The entertainment industry cannot be prosperous with money. At least the best talents cannot be bought.
Those top directors who have arrived can work occasionally, but it is very difficult to recruit them. It can be imagined that the main thing is to cultivate themselves, and potential newcomers will also be sent to Wang Zhengfei.
After training, if there is any achievement, he will be sent back to the headquarters, and then he will start to try to stand alone, just like Liu Yu back then. Now Liu Yu's success has strengthened Gao Yan's confidence in doing so, and those with potential are sent to Wang Zhengfei.
, Liu Yu, Ning Hao and a few other successful people studied with him, and after a period of time, they were given money to let them film alone. Although there were only a few people among them who could be successful, Gao Yan didn't have much confidence in the director's success rate.
It’s too low. If only one out of a hundred can succeed, it’s considered good. If you can spend money on it, you have to find a way out. Most of these investments will be lost. However, Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan both think it is.
It's worth it. From the company's perspective, it's impossible for every investment to be successful, and failure is normal.
Because of this, it is difficult for Wang Zhengfei to continue to have useful and smooth assistants every time. The current situation of Xingchen Entertainment cannot afford such luxury, but Wang Zhengfei is used to having to run in with a new deputy every time.
Therefore, Wang Zhengfei has to personally sit on the set every time, because the new assistant cannot fully understand his intentions. If he does not personally take charge, everything in the set will be messed up.
Sometimes Gao Min is just an agent, but she also has to do some work as a producer. It is also one of her responsibilities to help Wang Zhengfei share the work pressure. She even joked that even if she stops being an agent in the future, she will still be a producer.
You can work as a producer.
Unlike American producers who can read well, Chinese producers are either directors or people sent by investors. Basically, it is not just a little bit difficult for a private person to become a producer, but basically
It's impossible. In China, investors have the final say, but it's different in the United States. Directors, screenwriters, and producers all have a certain say. Investors can't have the final say, so it's not possible for investors to have the final say.
The heroine was removed and replaced with her own mistress, lover, etc., and there were less ridiculous things.
Of course, if the investor is really rich and wants to spend money to support his mistress, what else can you say, but generally, most high-level directors who are a bit arrogant will not take it because of this
Generally speaking, they are not getting better, and their own quality cannot be improved, not to mention that they interfere in all the matters of his crew, big and small. Not all directors can stand it.
"Have the clothes arrived? Why are their efficiency so low?" Wang Zhengfei put down the newspaper and said to Gao Min, who was taking down something in shorthand next to him.
The grand scenes of "After Ascension" are definitely second to none, and the number of characters is also rare. Since it is a costume drama, these costumes are not available on the market and are all custom-made. The costumes of soldiers, passers-by, A, B, and C can be purchased at a specialized store.
We have to go to the props company to rent them, but for those characters with names and surnames, this cannot be done. Many of the clothes have to be very unique. Although "After Ascension" is not as good as "Zhu Xian" in creating many famous characters, almost all of them are
It is very recognizable, but it still creates many named characters, and these characters must need their own costumes, even if they are just for a few scenes. This is strictly ordered by Wang Zhengfei, because anyway, funds
On the other hand, he is not nervous at all. He feels that these are necessary investments, and these investments will be returned tenfold and a hundredfold in time. He firmly believes in this. The so-called details determine success or failure.
These details cannot be defeated in his hands. Therefore, he must be perfect for this kind of thing. These clothes cannot be bought on the market and must be custom-made. And this kind of clothes,
It has always been worth a lot of money. These clothes alone are worth more than millions. This is a huge business for any clothing company in the industry. It is a big deal. If you can get it, the profit will be enough.
Those specialized prop companies have been doing business for a long time. The so-called companies that do not open for three years are like this.
Nowadays, Xingchen Entertainment has a lot of money. Although it is not said to be taken advantage of, it will definitely not be stingy in this regard.
However, the other party's slow speed really left Wang Zhengfei speechless. In fact, Wang Zhengfei placed the order very early and started all preparations early. Of course, the clothing order was also very early, but until now, the other party is still grinding.
It was not without reason that Wang Zhengfei immediately went into a rage because he didn't deliver it after a long time!
"They said they are still working on it and it should be delivered in two days!" Gao Min said.
"That's too slow. It's too late to change companies now, but I'm really dissatisfied with this company. Let's change our partners in the future!" Wang Zhengfei said, the speed was too slow. They thought they were Blizzard, and they often
For delayed tickets, speed is a very important factor for him. He can't let the overall team wait for this batch of clothes. If the shooting is delayed, the loss will be hundreds of thousands a day. Can this company afford to compensate?
There's no reason why Wang Zhengfei shouldn't be angry. He couldn't do it even after giving him the money. If he didn't have the strength, he wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Wang Zhengfei is not talking about the costumes of his movie. According to his position in Xingchen Entertainment, after saying this, the company's future cooperation with Xingchen Entertainment will probably end here, and it will be difficult to gain recognition in the future.
, but the reality is like this, as the saying goes, don’t take this porcelain job if you don’t have this diamond, and don’t talk nonsense if you don’t have this ability.
"Yeah, I got it!" Gao Min nodded. She couldn't get involved in these decision-making matters anyway, so basically she could only do as they were told.
