China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Chapter 125 Sister Hong, I have invested for your face

"Hiss... roar..."

In Yan Danchen's place, the passion accumulated in the past few days was released, and Qi Wei slept very happily this time.

Waking up early the next morning, looking at Yan Danchen who was still sleeping soundly beside her, and seeing the satisfied smile on her face with tears on her lips, Qi Wei couldn't help biting her jelly-like cheeks.

Her long eyelashes twitched.

Seeing the happiness on her face, Qi Wei was in a good mood.

Gently helped her cover the quilt, tiptoed into the bathroom and began to rinse.

Ten minutes later, Qi Wei came out of the bathroom humming a song, wiping his wet hair with a dry towel

At this time, Yan Danchen had already woken up, leaning on the bed and looking at Qi Wei with a smile on his face.

"Or did I wake you up?"

"How can it be? It's not like you don't know that we got up earlier than this when we were in school."

The students of Nortel's performance department have morning classes, and they have to get up at 6 o'clock every day to hang their throats and so on.

"Didn't you ask for leave today? You don't need to go to school. You can sleep more today."

At that time, Nortel was still very strict, and innocent absenteeism was a very serious matter, and they would be punished.

However, Qi Wei, who is on fire now, is the heart and soul of their homeroom teacher, Cui Xinqin, and even the whole Nortel. Qi Wei, who finished the promotion work of the new album yesterday, sent a telegram back to the north. Before Qi Wei could speak, Cui Xinqin gave Yan Danchen a break. .

Of course, Yan Danchen also has legitimate reasons to ask for leave, because she is about to join the filming of "Never Rest In My Eyes" with Qi Wei.

Qi Wei had already sat by the bed, picked up the hair dryer and started drying his hair.

And Yan Danchen had already got up from the bed, skillfully helped Qi Wei take out the clothes from the cabinet.

Serving Qi Wei and wearing clothes, like a good wife and mother.

Looking down at her at her mercy, watching her busy for herself, the kindness she had treated her in the past also appeared in her mind.

This is the woman I should cherish the most.

After she helped herself button the last button on her neckline, she also looked up at herself.

The tender eyes are flickering.

Qi Wei couldn't help but hugged her, reached out to her rosy lips and kissed her.

I don't want to separate for a long time.

"You still have important things to do today." After parting her lips, the panting Yan Danchen said with a long sigh of relief, smiling like crescent moons.

"You are the most important thing to me."

"I'm very happy when you say that, but you have already made an appointment to meet someone, so you can't delay the time any longer, don't be late, I don't want to be a stumbling block to your career." She said very understandingly.

"You will never be my stumbling block, because you are my good wife." Qi Wei said while holding her hand.

"Your mouth is so sweet!" She happily kissed Qi Wei's cheek.

Qi Wei's love words made the smile on her face brighter.

While there was still time, Qi Wei left contentedly after a brief "reminiscence".

I went to a high-end hotel by car, and when I came to the living room, the person I met had already been waiting for a long time.

"I shouldn't be late." Qi Wei looked at the time on his watch and said with a smile.

"No, you are very punctual, we are early."

Zhao Baogang was also there, he said with a smile, and then began to help introduce.

"This is Qi Wei, the hottest singer in China right now"

"Don't dare to act, dare not act." Qi Wei waved his hands and smiled modestly.

Zhao Baogang pointed to the two people sitting opposite Qi Wei and said, "This is Director Li Shaohong, and this is"

Qi Wei interrupted: "Director Zhao, you don't need to introduce this one, she is the most beautiful woman in our mainland, everyone knows who doesn't know."

Then Qi Wei took the initiative to reach out to her. After shaking hands, Qi Wei looked at her and said, "I'm dissatisfied with you. When I was watching Three Kingdoms, I saw you playing Diao Chan, with your eyes, smile, and every move, but I, who was just in love I was fascinated, and for a long time, how many nights I would think of you"

It might be seen as harassment when someone who is ugly says this, but it is completely different when someone who is handsome, talented and rich says that.

"You are so humorous, you don't need to compliment me." The beautiful woman on the opposite side was amused by Qi Wei's words, and she covered her mouth and smiled.

A tinge of affection for Qi Wei suddenly developed in his heart.

"I'm not saying this as a compliment. I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. It's been in my heart for a long time. If I was born ten years earlier, no, even five years earlier, then I will definitely pursue you, at any cost. If Sister, you don't mind the words of sibling love."

"If it's you, it's okay." The woman on the opposite side smiled more happily, and her words became more humorous.

The interaction between the two was watched by Chen Shaohong, who was sitting next to Chen Hong. Her eyes under the glasses squinted at the two, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth.

He thought he was right to bring Chen Hong here this time, maybe he could really get investment from Qi Wei.

She interjected with a smile: "Director Chen Kai will be upset if he hears your words."

"Even if Director Chen is here, I will tell the truth. He has already married my goddess. It is a done deal. I believe that Director Chen is not a stingy person."

"Haha, but he is not as generous as you think." Li Shaohong said with a smile.

Brother Chen Kai and Li Shaohong are classmates, and their relationship is very good.

Even Chen Hong was able to act as the heroine of her new drama "Daming Palace Ci" because of this relationship.

So it's harmless for her to tell some jokes about her friends.

Qi Wei looked at Li Shaohong, looked at her and said polite words at the same time:
"Director Li, "Red Pink" directed by you is so classic, I like this movie so much, I don't know how many times I watched it"

Qi Wei has indeed watched the movie "Red Pink" many times, but it's not because Qi Wei likes this movie so much.

Li Shaohong is a director from Nortel, and her "Red Pink" won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival. It was once explained in class as a classic case, so it is inevitable to watch it several times.

"A good man doesn't mention his bravery in the past."

Although he said so, when talking about this movie, Li Shaohong always had a smug smile on his face inadvertently.

Li Shaohong used to be a film director, but now she is a TV drama director. When there is a chain of contempt in the film and television industry, she was "forced" to switch from a movie director to a TV drama director because of the movie "Red Pink".

After the film reform in 93, the director's office was abolished. Everyone can make a film and you can produce it according to the factory's indicators, but you need to raise your own funds.

Compared with her classmate Chen Kaige's smooth sailing, Li Shaohong's career as a director is much bumpier.

Did she spend several years looking for money for the movie "Red Pink", or Hong Kong director Xu Ke funded the money for the pre-production of "Red Pink".

Finally, after the project of this film was approved, the relevant policies canceled the co-production of the film, which almost wiped out the money from the early stage of the project.

After twists and turns, "Red Pink" finally raised 250 million yuan, because it was eager to recover the cost in distribution. After passing the review, it was purchased by Hong Kong City Dayang Films for 380 million yuan.

The price is actually a bit low for a film that won a prize at the Berlin Film Festival.

Facts have also proved this point. The movie earned a box office of 2800 million when it was released in China, but most of the profits did not belong to the producer.

This movie was relatively successful in terms of awards and commercials, but it left Li Shaohong with painful memories.

It's really not easy to make a movie and attract investment, but that's not the point.

The film "Red Pink" was completed and released in the early stage, and Li Shaohong worked hard and thought hard.

The effort is the most, but most of the cakes created by the whole movie are taken by others.

She didn't even drink soup when others ate meat, and she made a wedding dress for others.

The film brought her credit, but almost nothing else.

The entire mainland film market is deteriorating. Even if she wants to make a film, it is still not easy to attract investment.

At this time, she has established her own film and television company Rongxinda with a few friends, even if she wants to make a movie, she can get investment, and other business partners in her company are not very willing.

The reason is also very simple, that is, making movies does not make money.

Li Shaohong is not as capable as Brother Chen Kai who is able to organize a big picture and invest in big movies. There are many ways to make big movies. Even through accounting and other forms, you can make a lot of money in movie production. You don’t have to think about making money from the box office after the movie is released. .

But Li Shaohong can only make some low-budget movies, and the low-budget movies can't make much money from film production. If you want to make money, you can only watch the box office.

But in today's harsh film market environment, trying to make money at the box office is tantamount to nonsense.

Not every time you can be as lucky as "Red Rain" to get a high box office.

Moreover, the box office of "Red Rain" can achieve high box office because others know how to operate commercially and do a good job in publicizing and distributing.

If you don't sell the copyright and do it yourself, you really can't do it so well.

The TV market is completely different.

With the popularity of TV sets and the surge in TV advertising costs, major TV stations need more high-quality content to attract viewers in order to increase ratings. The supply exceeds demand, which makes the entire TV drama market generally present a thriving trend.

In 96, Li Shaohong began to transform into directing TV dramas. In the same year, he directed the TV drama "Thunderstorm" adapted from the drama written by Cao Yu.

The market response was quite satisfactory.

Although in 97, she came back to make a feature film "Red Suit".

But she had already tasted the sweetness when filming "Thunderstorm", and now she is focusing more on TV dramas.

Start to organize games and play big productions.

"Director Zhao should have told you the purpose of meeting with you this time. I'm currently preparing a "Daming Palace Ci" project. Are you interested in investing?"

After chatting for a few familiar words, Li Shaohong said straight to the point.

Seeing that Qi Wei nodded, she took out a stack of documents from her bag and handed it to Qi Wei, "This is the script of "Daming Palace Ci", you can take a look first."

After receiving it, Qi Wei pretended to be serious and looked at it seriously.

Investing in film and television dramas is very risky. Although in today's market environment, investment in TV dramas is much less risky than movies, but the small risk does not mean that there is no risk.

Audiences are rewarded for liking TV dramas that can achieve high ratings.

The higher the ratings, the greater the rewards.

And in fact, more capital flowing into the TV drama market will also bring some competition, but it is not so obvious in the current TV drama market that is in short supply.

Generally speaking, the investment in TV dramas is getting higher and higher, and like movies, they are also developing towards high-investment large-scale productions.

Of course, at this time, it is impossible for private capital to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot the four classics like the rich and powerful CCTV.

From the memory of later generations, Qi Wei doesn't know how much investment in the TV series "Daming Palace Ci" is, but it is certain that the investment exceeds 2500 million.

The investment of 2500 million yuan for TV dramas at this time is definitely a big production with big investment.

Larger investments mean higher risk and it will be more difficult to get your money back.

Few film and television companies can afford such a large investment, and even if they can, they will not invest alone.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket. It is king to find allies to share risks and interests and make the cake as big as possible.

It is best to borrow chickens to lay eggs.

Li Shaohong found himself here through Zhao Baogang to attract investment, which has already explained a problem:
The project of "Daming Palace Ci" is not particularly ideal for attracting investment.

Because generally speaking, apart from the funds of some allies, film and television projects are more willing to find investment from outside the circle.

why?Because those outside the circle don’t understand, it’s easier to cheat like this. Even if the film and television project fails and loses money in the end, the loss will be the investor’s money, and the film and television producer will make a lot of money instead.

It's not so easy for those in the pit circle. They are all foxes who have been around for a thousand years. What kind of chat room are you playing with me? Everyone knows the tricks inside.

Finding funds in the circle is often a combination of prosperity and loss.

Qi Wei doesn't remember the ratings of "Da Ming Gong Ci", but this TV series with high reputation should have caused a frenzy of ratings at that time
Otherwise, Li Shaohong wouldn't have released a crappy "Da Song Gong Ci" under the name of this drama 20 years later.

Hmm. "Da Song Gong Ci" is hard to describe in one word, the plot is just messy, and the casting is also the same. Teacher Liu Baijie was very moist when she was young, but is that age really suitable?

He was dumped more than eight streets by the person in front of him.

The Chen Hong in front of me is indeed beautiful, whether she has just been unloaded and restored to maintenance, her age of nearly 30 years old is also a good thing, she has the charm of a young girl and the charm of a mature woman.

Let Qi Wei glance at her from time to time when he reads the script.

She even looked at her when they glanced at her, but she didn't mind, and smiled at Qi Wei.

Charming.

This smile was like sunshine illuminating his heart, and it reminded Qi Wei of Prime Minister Cao's will buried in his heart.

There is some excitement in my heart.

Ten lines at a glance, after spending more than ten minutes reading the script, Qi Wei who closed the script said:
"The plot revolves around Princess Taiping of the Tang Dynasty, and tells about court struggles and grievances during the Wu Zetian era.

The lines are very beautiful, with the style of Shakespeare's operas, which I like more. On the whole, there is a big gap between the plot of this play and the historical facts.
How should I put it, this drama should have a good ratings prospect, right?
TV drama still depends on the ability of the producer and director, of course I still have great confidence in you, Director Li."

Qi Wei said in an uncertain tone while describing the analysis.

Li Shaohong clapped his palms and gave Qi Wei a thumbs up, and praised: "You can analyze it so thoroughly just by watching it all over again. You are very good. I believe your previous film and television works now." Profitable investment is definitely not as simple as a blind cat meeting a dead mouse."

"A blind cat meets a dead mouse? Why did you think that my investment was profitable because of shit luck?"

Li Shaohong smiled and did not answer, just asked: "You have read the script, I wonder if you are interested in investing?"

Qi Wei became silent, and then looked at Chen Hong.

Pretending to think for a while, she asked Chen Hong, "Sister Hong, do you want me to invest in this drama?"

She said with a smile: "I am the heroine of this show, of course I hope."

"In that case, Sister Hong, I'll invest for your sake!"

Qi Wei said arrogantly, and then looked at Li Shaohong again, "Director Li, you heard it too, I can invest in this drama, let's talk about the details, I don't know how much investment you still need for this drama, how much do you need from me?"
