You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

Chapter 553 A Small Summary Meeting

10 a.m. Best Partner Films.

Because Jiang Yan will be very busy next time, and he doesn't have time to come over for the summary meeting, so he held it in advance while he was still in Xiangjiang.

The record of the best partner film company in 2000 can be said to be one of the few in Xiangjiang.

With Wang Jin around, making money is not a big problem, with Jiang Yan around, with several big IPs in hand, making money is even less of a problem.

So after one year, everyone calculated the various income and expenses, excluding the income and expenditure of "Infernal Affairs Series", the best partner earned about 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars last year.

About half of them were earned by investing in "Kill Bill". If you add "Infernal Affairs 2", which is still in theaters, the guaranteed income can be increased by 4000 to [-] million.

More than [-] million is not a small amount, but the four people present didn't think much about it. They didn't care much about money or not. In other words, as long as they made money, they didn't care.

At this time, Jiang Yan and his best partner trio were reading the two scripts that Jiang Yan brought.

These two scripts are about anti-drug, Jiang Yan originally wanted to take out only one, but he considered Zha Zhahui's frustrated appearance some time ago, and he was hesitant to speak when he saw Jiang Yan recently, so He took another one over.

The meaning is also very simple. For Jiang Yan, he can shoot any one anyway, but if the trio chooses the "Awei" book, it can only be said that Zha Zhahui's luck has come. Say you have to wait.

At this moment, Wang Jin looked at the second script Jiang Yan brought in his hand, and when he saw the line "Jesus can't even keep it, I said it", Wang Jin smiled knowingly.

He knew the source of this line all too well.

Back then, when he and Ah Yan fought side by side at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to defeat the lock screw, Jiang Yan yelled such a sentence, and then the next day the lock screw defeated Xiangjiang, tsk tsk tsk, that was really a passion Burning memories.

However, after Wang Jin sighed for a while, he pointed to the first script on the table and said, "Compared to "Sweeping Drugs", I still suggest to shoot "Disciple" first, what do you think?"

Although Jiang Yan said that "A Wei" wanted Zha Zhahui to act, which was to open up another way for Zha Zhahui to play, but after rational consideration, Wang Jin still chose "The Disciple".

Liu Weiqiang on the side put down the script and echoed: "I also think to shoot "Disciples" first, the scenes of this film don't need to be so big, we can take our time."

Wen Jun on the other side also nodded and said:
"Of course it's "The Disciple". This script has more tension than "Anti-Drug". I suggest "The Disciple". This time I will also act."

After speaking, he praised Jiang Yan again, "You want to lift the ceiling of anti-drug films."

He originally thought that Jiang Yan was going to make an anti-drug film as a task from the mainland, so he thought that Jiang Yan would probably just produce a script that was biased towards the main theme.

As a result, there were two books when they were taken out, and both books had their own characteristics.

Although "Sweeping Drugs" has poison in its name, it actually has nothing to do with poison. It is mostly just the more common confrontation between positive and negative forces, undercover and anti-undercover. Of course, this does not mean that the script is not well written. It is better than the current anti-drug The scripts of the subject matter are all good, but compared to "The Disciple", it is naturally inferior.

"The Disciple" tells the story of an undercover policeman who is a disciple of a drug lord, fighting wits and courage with a drug dealer, and sinking and tearing up with a drug addict. It frankly exposes the whole chain of drug production and trafficking and the whole process of drug withdrawal. Although it is extremely dark, it is naked and true.

In Wen Junkai, "Sweeping Drugs" was probably Jiang Yan's random creation, and "Disciple" is Jiang Yan's real level. In a word, it is a bit like "Infernal Affairs".

And such a standard is naturally in line with the level of lifting a certain type of ceiling.

"Even the best script has to be filmed."

Jiang Yan just waved his hand and said a little modestly, he was too lazy to say the "five years" excuse before, and at the same time he shrugged Zha Zhahui in his heart to express his apology.

"That's right, can Wei Qiang handle it?" Wen Jun asked Liu Weiqiang who was beside him.

As the first director of the company, Liu Weiqiang was naturally the first to take over this kind of work.

But before Liu Weiqiang could speak, Jiang Yan interrupted:
""The Disciple" I want Er Dongsheng to direct. I like his life-like style of work. I think it will be very suitable for this film. But if he is not free, then we can do it ourselves."

People here are not surprised that Jiang Yan appointed the director. This was the case with "Gunfire" and "Dark War" before, and this has indeed made these films reach different heights. Anyway, Liu Weiqiang thinks that it will be replaced by him. In other words, the heights that these two films can achieve may be somewhat discounted, after all, he and To Qifeng are still different in style. Of course, if the "Infernal Affairs" series is made by others, it will definitely not be able to reach the current state.

So Jiang Yan has to appoint a new director this time. Everyone really has no opinion. Anyway, if there is money to make money together, if there is no problem with the money, what problem can there be?
So it was quickly decided that "The Disciple" will be treated as the first masterpiece of the best partner company in 01. Wen Jun will be the second screenwriter to complete the script. As for Wang Jin, he will be the mascot.

Er Dongsheng was the director's first choice, and Liu Weiqiang will contact him. If it is unsure, Liu Weiqiang will direct it himself.

As for the leading role, Jiang Yan still followed the original script, but replaced the heroine Zhang Jing with Li Binbin. I said before that if Li Binbin is busy, he must do what he says.

After "The Disciple" is finalized, "Dark War 2" will follow. "Dark War" also achieved amazing results last year. This year, it is natural to strike while the iron is hot. But regarding the script, Jiang Yan will still follow the same path, and give an outline. Then let Johnnie To play freely, and the best partner is in charge of the production, so as to ensure the maximum degree of freedom.

As for "Sweeping Drugs", let's wait and see how the response of "Disciples" is. If the situation is good, it will be released directly. Yes, unlike "Disciple", although "Disciple" was a film in 13, Er Dongsheng started conceiving it in 07, so it had to be shot quickly.

After the two films are finalized, the next thing we will talk about is some resource cooperation projects. These projects belong to different companies, but the best partners have different degrees of participation, or the rest of the film companies also have different degrees of participation.

This is the case in Hong Kong. The cooperation between various film companies is very close. Every film comes out with other companies' funding or contribution. This is also the reason for the "unity" in the Hong Kong circle.

Not much to say about the specifics, Jiang Yan has no interest in breaking this pattern, as long as there is progress, it will be fine.

After the meeting, a few people had a simple lunch, and Jiang Yan was about to start a group performance.

But the problem is still the same. Xiangjiang Film is in a downturn, and there are really not many crews who can wear it.

"Surely you don't want to go to tertiary movies, do you?" Wangjiao asked.
