Chapter 649

After the Olympic bid meeting, the delegation held a small celebration at the embassy residence, and everyone was very excited.

Jiang Yan, who has been recording with the camera, is similar. This is not something that people who have experienced the rise of great powers can empathize with. The desire to be recognized internationally and to justify China's name is mixed with too many emotions and expectations.

In fact, he thought that he would be calmer because he knew the result in advance, but at this time, under the empathy and atmosphere, he still couldn't suppress his excitement and joy. After all, he was actually a participant in this victory. This sense of accomplishment cannot be experienced by the bystanders.

After the cheers, the team leader Liu Qi was drunk, and the old tears told about the bitterness along the way, which made all the core backbones follow the old tears.

The Chinese people have waited too long for the success of the Olympic bid. The entire 90s were basically spent in the word "Olympic bid".

In fact, going further, the Olympic dream can be traced back to the early 20th century.

In 1908, China, which was poor and weak, asked three questions. When will China be able to send one person to the Olympic Games?When will you be able to send a team to the Olympics?When will it be possible to host an Olympic Games on its own land?

In 1932, Liu Changchun represented China in the Los Angeles Olympic Games, and was eliminated in the preliminaries. In 1936, he formally formed a team to participate in the competition, but it was a pity. In 1984, Xu Haifeng won the first gold medal. In 2001, BJ The Olympic bid was successful, and in 2008, BJ hosted the Olympic Games.

It took 100 years to realize a dream.

Now that the dream has completed the most critical step, it is still seven years away from its true fulfillment.

So Liu Qi shed bitter tears, and then toasted to encourage each other.

Everyone toasted together. At this moment, the new journey of the Olympic delegation officially began.

Speaking of which, 2001 was a year of great events in China.

The successful bid for the Olympic Games in July gave the whole nation a shot in the arm.

In October, the national football team will qualify, which is another shot in the arm.

This is not over yet. In December, my country successfully joined the WTO, which also officially heralded that the whole country has entered a new stage in the new century.

Since then, the development process of the entire country has begun to accelerate.

The economy, sports, medical care and other aspects have ushered in unprecedented development.

The word "changing with each passing day" has officially become a vocabulary that Chinese people always express with emotion.

And closely related to Jiang Yan is the film and television industry.

After successfully bidding for the Olympic Games on the 13th, Jiang Yan was busy for another three days. He followed the delegation to participate in the celebration activities of some Chinese and international groups in Moscow.

After the end, Jiang Yan went to Beijing Film Studio to meet Han Sanpin non-stop.

And on the morning of the 17th, Jiang Yan got the first domestic private theater license in Beijing.

At this point, the mainland theater chain and film business of Stars and Seas officially set sail.

And the good news for No. 17 is not just a license plate.

On the same day, Jiang Yan welcomed its first client in the star theater chain in the mainland where there is no shadow.

That was the "Hero" that opened the era of domestic blockbusters.

. . . . . .

In a private club in Beijing, Jiang Yan, Han Sanpin, Lao Mouzi, and Lao Mouzi's current partner Zhang Weiping were chatting while drinking tea.

Like the original time and space, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", a film that was not favored in China at the beginning, has greatly stimulated domestic filmmakers after winning the Oscar this year.

So "Hero" directly inflated from a small-budget movie originally planned to a big-budget movie amidst Zhang Weiping's flickering stimulation + Lao Mouzi's eagerness to move.

In Zhang Weiping's blueprint, he wanted to find the top Chinese actors, and Jiang Yan was one of the first choices. Apart from him, Lian Jie, Chen Daomin, Chao Wei and other original cast members did not change much.

Zhang Weiping wants to attract Jiang Yan, the son of the wind, to lay the foundation for the film's international blockbuster. Lao Mouzi also appreciates Jiang Yan's attributes as an actor. He had exchanged with Jiang Yan as early as the Temple of Heaven concert. .

In his words, Jiang Yanguang's eyes are second to none in the whole country. If he adds his body, it will be more perfect. Finally, Jiang Yan's fame is added, that is the perfection of perfection. As for who to play, this That's one of the topics we're going to talk about today.

The first time Jiang Yan heard the news was in Moscow a few days ago. At that time, Lao Mouzi was also a member of the Olympic bid delegation. The two had some exchanges in those few days, but because the joy of the Olympic bid was too strong, The topic is almost all around the Olympics, so I didn't discuss it in detail.

After knowing this, Jiang Yan actually felt a little emotional.

I think when he first met Lao Fan back then, he asked Lao Fan to watch Lao Mouzi. The purpose was to find a way to participate in the "Hero" project. If he really couldn't participate, he could do a group performance. It is a film of historical significance, and it is a commemoration after participating in it.

But in just three years, this role has been transformed.

Now it's not Jiang Yan who begged for someone, but someone who came to him by himself, which really makes people feel emotional.

So needless to say, of course it is won!
Winning means investing + winning overseas distribution rights. As for whether to act or not, let's put it aside.

Among them, overseas distribution rights are very attractive.

You must know that "Hero" is the highest-grossing Chinese-language film at the overseas box office except for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It is a great accumulation of overseas distribution experience for Stars and Seas to be able to handle this project.

So all in all, if they can all cooperate, then Jiangyan's domestic and foreign theaters can make a lot of money, and the distribution channels of Xingchenhai can also make a lot of money, which is perfect.

But unfortunately, the other party disagreed. Zhang Weiping said that Jiang Yan could invest and get a share, but he didn't want Jiang Yan to contract for overseas distribution. The reason was that there was already someone. It was said that the other party felt that Jiang Yan was not strong enough.

Zhang Weiping said that although Jiang Yan has overseas theater chains, theater chains and distribution are two different things. Even if Xingchen Dahai is the same size as Jiang Zhiqiang's Anle Films, they at least have the successful experience of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Jiang Yan doesn't really like Zhang Weiping, but what he said is actually correct. Jiang Yan's current overseas film distribution experience has just started, and it seems to be the largest in the mainland, but he really wants to compete with Xiangjiang Jiang Xeon. Compared with those who have been in this industry in the 80s, it is indeed much worse.

Jiang Zhiqiang is not only successful in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but also in Hayao Miyazaki's films.

This old man is awesome.

In addition, although Jiang Yan has some shares in Warner Bros. Pictures, but the main body is not the same, relying entirely on Warner will change the taste, so what people say is correct, Stars and Seas are at least released overseas in front of Jiang Zhiqiang's Anle Pictures. One piece is really incomparable.

But Jiang Yan is not discouraged, because Xingchenhai will continue to grow and develop in the future. Without "Hero", it is not like he has no other projects, and there are many opportunities to gain experience.

So if you don’t give it to overseas distribution, just don’t give it, it’s just investment + cooperation with domestic theaters.

As for participating?

"I have to check my schedule first, Lao Mouzi, you know that I still have a lot of things to sort out, give me a week, and I will give you a clear answer when the time comes, don't worry, if there is really no schedule , Even the group performances, I will come to perform, but when the time comes, don't feel troublesome."

"Of course not, it's best for you to act." Lao Mouzi laughed.

"I hope so too. I'm sure if I can even it out. Anyway, wait for my news." Jiang Yan also laughed.

The matter was settled like this, and then Jiang Yan and New Picture reached a verbal agreement to win 650% of the investment in "Hero" with an investment of 20 million US dollars. This investment is within expectations, and it is expected to earn three times Left and right income, not bad.

In addition, we also made a commitment to cooperate with the theater chain in the future. It is difficult to say the benefits of this piece. It depends on when the Star Cinema Chain will be completed. However, it is not a big problem, because the matter should be dealt with as early as two years ago. I started to prepare, so it will definitely be appropriate to catch up with the release of "Hero".

After the talk, Jiang Yan had another meal with everyone, and then went straight back to Hengdian.

There are too many things waiting for him. The country has entered a new stage, and the stars and the sea cannot be left behind.

Of course, before that, he had to solve the relationship problem first. . .
