Chapter 387 Going to the Broadcasting and Television Bureau, a very large-scale script(1/2)
"Fang Xing, today we are going to visit the leaders of our Donghai Municipal Radio and Television Bureau. Aren't you worried that producing anti-crime TV dramas will violate the red line? We will go directly to the leaders of the competent departments. You should be relieved, right?"
In the car driving to the Donghai Municipal Radio and Television Bureau, Liu Jianan and Fang Xing sat in the back seat, chatting about what they had to do today.
Fang Xing also wanted to meet with the leaders of the Donghai Radio and Television Bureau. After all, this was the department in charge of radio and television.
Liu Jian'an continued chatting seemingly casually: "By the way, Willy Construction is the company that competed with you for the same project land before. Now it has changed its project plan and wants the land in Zhuwei Village. Once the project is approved,
You will be neighbors from now on."
"Then we'll have to deal with each other more often. What kind of cultural industry does this company engage in specifically?" Fang Xing responded seemingly casually.
Just by hearing the name, Willie Construction is in the construction industry.
However, the construction industry is not unrelated to the cultural industry.
Architectural design also belongs to the cultural industry.
Architectural designers are also engaged in creation, but the things they create are different from literature, film and television dramas.
Therefore, just by looking at the name Willy Construction, we cannot deny its relationship with the cultural industry.
"Willy Construction has little to do with the cultural industry, but their project is to build a commercial center for the cultural industrial park and support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. The starting point is good..."
Liu Jian paused for a moment, changed the topic, and continued: "As for their relationship with the cultural industry, you should have heard of Willy Construction's holding company, Dingsheng Capital, which recently controlled Tianlong Film and Television and has already set up a project to produce
Film and television dramas with anti-crime themes are in close contact with the leaders of the Radio and Television Bureau during this period."
Fang Xing heard about this a month ago.
Tianlong Film and Television is also a large company in the film and television industry, with strong capabilities in television and movies.
A major equity change in a company of this level is big news in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, Fang Xing had already heard about it.
There are also some reports speculating that Dingsheng Capital has lost confidence in Ruide Film and Television, so it has reduced its holdings in Ruide Film and Television, acquired Tianlong Film and Television, and increased investment in film and television.
"I have heard about this. Tianlong Film and Television is very strong in film and television." Fang Xing praised.
"If Dingsheng Capital has outstanding performance in anti-gang film and television dramas, and with the support of District Mayor Hu, there is a high probability that Willy Construction's project approval will be approved." Liu Jian'an revealed this important information seemingly unintentionally.
A flash of surprise flashed in Fang Xing's eyes, and he realized that Secretary Liu next to him said these words to him on purpose.
Regarding the leadership structure of Ningyun District, Fang Xing had already understood clearly.
Liu Jian'an and Hu Yuhai have always been competing in secret. This kind of competition cannot be brought to the surface, but the winner of this game has not yet been determined.
Now, in this game of chess, Liu Jian'an has won one more piece, which is Ark Culture.
Hu Yuhai's next move has been revealed.
Naturally, Liu Jian'an didn't want to give him a chance to make a comeback, so he personally took Fang Xing to see the leaders of the Donghai Radio and Television Bureau, just to get Fang Xing to take over the task of cracking down on crime-themed film and television dramas.
As long as Ark Culture can produce an anti-crime drama on the level of "The Pretender", it will be a great success.
Even if the quality of the series is a little lower, it doesn't matter.
After all, the ratings of "The Pretender" are too high. If a new anti-crime drama can have half the ratings of "The Pretender", it has fully completed its mission.
…
Half an hour later.
Donghai Municipal Radio and Television Bureau.
Fang Xing and Liu Jian'an followed a secretary to the TV Drama Department and entered an office.
"Director Luo, long time no see."
Liu Jianan was the first to say hello.
The middle-aged man known as Director Luo quickly came up to shake hands: "Secretary Liu, you are here."
Liu Jian'an turned sideways and looked at Fang Xing and introduced: "Fang Xing, this is Director Luo of the TV Drama Department of our Donghai Municipal Radio and Television Bureau."
He then introduced Luo Xinyan: "This is the chairman of Ark Culture, Fang Xing, who I mentioned to you."
"Hello, hello, welcome, welcome."
Luo Xinyan took the initiative to extend his hands to shake.
Fang Xing also hurriedly shook hands with him politely. He held his hands together and shook them several times: "Hello, Director Luo, hello, Director Luo."
Before coming, Fang Xing knew about the director of the TV Drama Department of the Donghai Radio and Television Bureau, but he had only heard of him but never seen him.
The TV Drama Department is a department within the Radio and Television Bureau. It is mainly responsible for the guidance and supervision of TV programs, organizing and reviewing the content of domestic TV series, imported TV series and foreign co-productions of TV series and cartoons.
At the same time, it is also necessary to guide and regulate the broadcast of TV series.
To put it simply, the TV Drama Department of the Radio and Television Bureau is responsible for whether a TV series can be broadcast.
Therefore, Director Luo Xinyan still has great powers, and can even be said to decide the life or death of a TV series.
Every year, some of the film and television dramas produced by film and television companies can be broadcast soon, while others have been waiting to be broadcast.
There may be many reasons why these upcoming TV series have not been aired.
Some have not been sold yet, or the price has not been negotiated.
In some cases, something happened to an actor and the TV series was stopped.
If these are the reasons, the solution is relatively simple.
When a certain actor has a scandal, usually the actor's part is cut out and the show can be aired.
However, there is another possibility, that is, there is something wrong with the TV series itself.
For example, distorting history, vilifying the martyrs, or incorrect value orientation.
These issues may cause you to fail the review.
The reason why Fang Xing didn't want to make a film and television series on anti-crime themes at first was for this reason.
Liu Jian'an also noticed this, so he personally brought him here to visit the leaders of the Radio and Television Bureau.
…
After the three of them sat down, the secretary served tea.
Luo Xinyan started to talk about the topic: "Ark Culture, I am particularly impressed by your company. I personally led the team to review "The Pretender".
"At the beginning, the reviewers in the department couldn't make up their minds and had to ask the leader to make a decision..."
Fang Xing was a little surprised when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, when "The Pretender" was submitted for review, the Director of Radio and Television had to make a personal decision before it could pass the review.
This film review is too strict.
However, Fang Xing figured out what was going on after a moment's thought.
In fact, the identity of the protagonist "Mingtai" is a bit sensitive at the beginning. The identity of the protagonist "Mingtai" at the beginning of this drama is a military reunification agent, and even three brothers in the family are military reunification agents.
Although multiple identities were revealed later on, the identity of the protagonist was indeed sensitive at the beginning.
Luo Xinyan continued: "I only watched three episodes, and I said, this drama is good, the audience will definitely like it. As expected, the ratings are indeed high."
Liu Jian'an cheered: "Thanks to Director Luo's decision to let "The Pretender" pass the review, the audience can see such an excellent TV series."
Chatted for a while.
Luo Xinyan took the initiative and asked: "You are coming together this time. Do you have any TV series to submit for review? However, I must make it clear that there is no backdoor for TV series to be submitted for review."
Liu Jian'an laughed and said: "No, the higher-level department of this film encourages the creation of works with anti-crime themes."
"There is such a thing. Literary works, film and television works, and dramas are all encouraged to create." Luo Xinyan nodded and said.
"I have talked with Fang Xing several times, and he said that he does have ideas, but he is worried that anti-crime themes may lead to red lines, so I will not bring him to meet with Director Luo to understand the regulations in this regard." Liu Jian'an explained the purpose of his visit.
"It turns out that anti-crime-themed film and television dramas are indeed themes encouraged by the state. In this regard, our Radio and Television Bureau will also relax restrictions as much as possible..."
Luo Xinyan changed the subject and added: "But relaxing restrictions does not mean that there are no restrictions. Reviews must be carried out."
Liu Jian'an looked at Fang Xing and said, "Look. The leaders of the Radio and Television Bureau also encourage the creation of anti-crime-themed film and television dramas. Can you rest assured? If you have anything to ask, you can ask it now."
Fang Xing thought about it for a moment and said, "I do have a script with a crime-fighting theme here, but the scale is relatively large. Even if the restrictions are relaxed, there may be red lines.
"If I were asked to film it, I would definitely be confident that it would be a good one, but I'm not sure whether it would be broadcast."
When Liu Jianan heard this, he realized that Fang Xing had already prepared the script, which was a bit surprising.
Originally, Fang Xing had never agreed to make a TV series with an anti-gang theme, nor had he mentioned the script.
Liu Jian'an came here mainly to bring Fang Xing to know the leaders of the Donghai Radio and Television Bureau.
Even if you don't make a TV series about anti-gangsters, if you know the leaders of the Radio and Television Bureau, you will know who to look for in the future.
What he didn't expect was that Fang Xing came prepared.
When Luo Xinyan heard this, he pondered for a moment and asked: "You mean, you want us to review the script first and then approve the project for filming, is that right?"
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "No, this script has red lines. I don't think the Radio and Television Bureau will pass it no matter how much it reviews it."
Luo Xinyan was slightly surprised when he heard this.
