China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

From the first meeting to the current discussion about investment and conditions, seeing Qi Wei always maintaining a calm and calm smile, Boss Xiang immediately felt that Qi Wei was not a simple person.

It is true that a simple person would not develop his career to such an extent in just two years.

It seems that it's not that easy to convince him, and you have to increase the stakes.

So Boss Xiang spoke again: "I know that Mr. Qi and Director Zhang have big plans. They want to make the movie "Hero" into an audio-visual feast with superstars. I am very willing to help. Which star does Mr. Qi want to invite? I Anyone can help as a lobbyist, and I happen to be a bit thin in Hong Kong City."

Not only are you a bit thin-faced, but who knows that you, Boss Xiang, can influence most of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong City? There are several celebrities in Hong Kong City who dare not give you face.

Qi Wei thought for a moment and asked: "What about Wang Zuxian? Can Boss Xiang help me invite him?"

At this time, Wang Zuxian was basically in a semi-retired state. The last movie she made was "The Monkey King" released in 97.

"The Monkey King" is actually a Japanese science fiction film. The last Chinese-language film produced by Wang Zuxian was "Green Snake" in 93.

Hearing Wang Zuxian's name from Qi Wei's mouth, Boss Xiang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Wei.

At this time, Joey Wong was only 32 years old. Although she was past the peak of an actress at this age, she would not be unable to make movies for such a long time without receiving roles.

What's more, she has already accumulated considerable popularity after filming so many movies in the past few years, and she is one of the few stars with box office appeal.

As for why this happened, it was because relationship problems in the past few years had affected his reputation.

The filmmakers in Hong Kong City are very fond of adapting to the changing circumstances. In addition, under the influence of the declining environment of Hong Kong films, opportunities have become less and less, so that no one has dared to ask her to film in recent years.

Boss Xiang thought of Zhou Huimin and the princess who had an affair with Qi Wei. They were about the same age as Wang Zuxian, and he couldn't help but wonder if Qi Wei had a deeper purpose.

However, he was still willing to help, so Boss Xiang smiled and replied: "Although it is a bit troublesome, if Mr. Qi really wants to invite her, I can still help Mr. Qi do it."

"What about Lin Qingxia?" Qi Wei asked again.

Um?She is almost two times older than you, why do you still have ideas? Are you so in need of love?
Boss Xiang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Boss Xiang shook his head and expressed that it was difficult, and explained: "She had announced her retirement a few years ago when she got married and would never come back. Some people had paid huge sums of money to hire her to film in the past, but she rejected them all, so you want to invite her to film. It’s basically hopeless, and I’m a little helpless.”

Naturally, Qi Wei knew that Lin Qingxia's dying shadow was really her dying shadow. She never came back to film until the era before Qi Wei was reborn in later generations.

The reason why Qi Wei mentioned the names of Wang Zuxian and Lin Qingxia was not because he had any special thoughts about them. The main reason was that it was more difficult to invite them to film. He just wanted to see clearly that Boss Xiang in front of him was trying to hook up with them. How much are you willing to pay for your own ship?

It’s okay to invite Wang Zuxian instead of Lin Qingxia. He smiled and said:

"Don't worry about it, Boss Xiang. Although I really want to ask them to shoot "Hero", after all, Director Zhang is the director of this movie. He has the final say in the casting, and I can't make the decision."

Boss Xiang had inquired carefully and found out that Qi Wei was the initiator of the "Hero" project.

As the main investor, he definitely has the right to speak. How could he not be able to make the decision?

Boss Xiang was thinking that the reason why Qi Wei said this was because he had not yet succeeded in persuading him, and Qi Wei was not yet willing to let him into the game.

"I will also go and communicate with Director Zhang."

Boss Xiang did not talk about "Hero" anymore, but added: "I heard that Mr. Qi's company is still preparing other film projects. I wonder if Mr. Qi has thought about releasing these films in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. It just so happened that I I have some connections. If Mr. Qi has this idea, I can help distribute it."

Qi Wei's film and television company is preparing only two film projects this year, "My Sassy Girl" and "Suspect."

"Suspect" is directed and acted by Leslie Cheung. With his connections in Hong Kong, the film has no worries about being distributed in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas.

As for "My Sassy Girl", its distribution depends on Qi Wei's own company.

Fortunately, in the mainland, with the help of Han Sanping, Qi Wei's distribution channels in the mainland are becoming more and more complete, and there is no problem in mainland distribution.

As for Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas distribution, Qi Wei's company has not developed to this point yet, and distribution must find allies to cooperate.

Without the cooperation of allies, no matter how promising a work is, its price will be severely reduced, and it will be impossible to sell it at a reasonable price.

Take "The Mountain That Man That Dog" for example. Without Zhang Weiping's help to bridge the gap, those Japanese publishers would never agree to pay a high price to purchase the distribution rights.

And Qi Wei itself is looking for suitable distribution allies, so what Boss Xiang said really touched on Qi Wei's weakness.

"Thank you, Boss Xiang, for your help. However, the projects of my company are still in preparation and have not started filming yet. I will consider distribution at least until the film is completed."

But Qi Wei still showed an unmoved look.

Boss Xiang didn't speak any more, but gave his wife a wink. Mrs. Xiang understood it and answered with a smile:
"I talked to Bai Zhi before. She has always had a wish. She wants to work with you in a movie, preferably as a couple. You said that coincidentally, our company is preparing a love movie "Star Language Wish". ", I wonder if you are interested in taking on this drama."

Qi Wei was stunned for a moment. Their move broke the unspoken rule that mainland actors could not play male protagonists or important supporting actors in Hong Kong films.

"I am a mainland actor." Qi Wei reminded.

"I know, don't worry, no one will say anything." Xiang Tai said with a smile.

Uh. It’s true that no one dared to say anything.

Qi Wei shook his head again and said, "I don't want you to make it difficult for me, Boss Xiang. Besides, I have no schedule today and can't film this movie."

"It doesn't matter. If you can't film it this year, then next year, we can afford to wait. It won't take you much time to film this film, a month at most. I hope you can give us a chance."

Zhang Baizhi also took Qi Wei's arm and said coquettishly: "I really want to film a movie with you."

This made Qi Wei frown.

After chatting for almost an hour in total, Qi Wei took Zhang Baizhi and left the teahouse.

There was no words all the way. After returning to the villa in Jiaduoli Mountain, Qi Wei said to Zhang Baizhi with a cold face: "You can stay here tonight. I have to leave beforehand."

"Where are you going so late?" Zhang Baizhi quickly took Qi Wei's hand and asked. She thought Qi Wei was angry.

She now also realizes that as a woman from Qi Wei, she should not have helped others speak in the restaurant just now.

"There's no need to report to you where I'm going. You have to remember your identity." Qi Wei replied coldly. It's not necessary to be angry, but she must have a longer memory.

"I know, it's just that I can't let you go, and I've also prepared new tricks."

"Save it for later." Qi Wei was unmoved, got in the car and left.

In fact, the main reason is because Zhou Huimin is pregnant.

Pregnant women are still relatively sensitive and need to take care of their emotions.

And because of the age gap, Zhou Huimin is even more insecure than Li Xiaoran.

Qi Wei could have a good time outside, but he had to go back to accompany her at night.At least for the first few days after arriving in Hong Kong, I couldn't stay up all night.

In the car, Qi Wei looked at the time on his watch. It was not too late before ten o'clock. After a little hesitation, Qi Wei called Han Sanping in the capital.

After the call was connected, Qi Wei said with a smile: "Mr. Han, did I bother you by calling you so late?"

Han Sanping was attending a dinner party, so the sound there was very noisy. He quickly left the private room and talked to Qi Wei in the corridor: "No interruption, what's the matter with you calling me so late?"

"That's good. It's true that I have something to call you so late. I just met a person who is willing to invest in our "Hero" project."

"Oh? This is a good thing!" Han Sanping said with surprise.

"It's indeed a good thing, but his identity is a bit sensitive. He is the boss of Yongsheng Film Company."

"Boss Xiang?" Han Sanping thought about it for a while before remembering. "It turns out to be him."

As mentioned before, it is difficult to attract investment because of the huge investment in the "Heroes" project and no one can see the profit point.

In this case, Qi Wei should try his best to ask others to invest, rather than others rushing to send money.

But now Boss Xiang promised Qi Wei various benefits and wanted to invest in the "Hero" project, which seemed very abnormal.

But Qi Wei knew their purpose of doing this very well.

The drunkard doesn't mean wine.

The movie project "Hero" is now a huge matter. It is no longer just a matter of Qi Wei and Zhang Weiping. It has actually been taken over by China Film Group, and now Han Sanping is fully responsible for it.

So Boss Xiang rushed to invest in "Hero" because he wanted to catch up with Han Sanping. He was investing in the film.

So even though Boss Xiang promised various benefits, Qi Wei didn't immediately agree because he couldn't make the decision on this matter.

You have to read what the higher-ups say before you agree.

Only by following the rules can you go a long way, which is why Qi Wei immediately called Han Sanping.

"Should we refuse his investment?" Qi Wei asked.

Han Sanjing on the other end of the phone thought for a while and replied: "There is no need to refuse. After all, they have been quite peaceful in the past two years since returning. There is no need for us to be so ruthless. As long as they act according to the rules and accept their Funding is not a big problem either.”

It’s understandable what Han Sanping said. Development requires capital. Nowadays, all walks of life require capital investment, and the film industry, which is in urgent need of investment, is no exception.

Nowadays, the domestic film industry is in critical condition, and it has to be treated as a live doctor. If someone is willing to invest and inject vitality into it, how could they not agree?

Han Sanping continued: "We attach great importance to the "Heroes" project, so we have to be cautious when accepting investments. They are willing to invest, which is no problem, but the money must be clean. In addition, there is no need to invest little, and we are not short of that. A little funding.”

"I understand this, and I will make it clear to them." Qi Wei promised.

"Actually, they have tried before, but I didn't answer him. Now that they ask you to talk about this, are they promising you a lot of benefits?" Han Sanping asked with a smile.

"I really can't hide anything from you. They did promise me some benefits, saying that they can help my company's movies be distributed in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas." Qi Wei answered truthfully.

"By the way, what's the name of the movie your company is preparing?"

"My Sassy Girl?"

"Yes, that's it. I've seen the review of your movie. It's quite creative. When will this movie be released?"

"If nothing else, it should be next year."

"That's it, I'll help you arrange a good schedule when the time comes. Which schedule do you want the movie to be released in?"

"Of course it's summer vacation."

"Yeah." Han San commented, and then reminded: ""Hero" still needs to be prepared for a while, and it will not officially start filming until at least next year, so there is no need for you to agree to his investment in such a hurry, you understand me Don’t you mean?”

This is allowing himself to ask for more benefits. Qi Wei thanked him quickly: "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Han."

After chatting for a few more words, Qi Wei hung up the phone, and at this time Qi Wei also came to the villa where Zhou Huimin was arranged to live.

Qi Wei walked in in a good mood.

"It's so late and you haven't slept yet?" When Qi Wei came to the bedroom, he saw Zhou Huimin wearing glasses and reading a parenting book, and he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Well, I'm waiting for you." Zhou Huimin put down the book, looked at Qi Wei tenderly, then stood up and helped Qi Wei take off his coat.

"If I don't come back tonight, do you have to wait for me until dawn? Staying up late is not good for the child in your belly." Qi Wei said and pressed against his belly.

"Actually, I slept a lot during the day, so I don't feel sleepy now." Zhou Huimin explained with a smile.

She gently stroked Qi Wei's hair, and then asked, "What did you hear again?"

Qi Wei looked up at Zhou Huimin and replied with a smile: "My child told me that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep."

Hearing this, Zhou Huimin laughed out loud, and then she asked: "You must be hungry when you come back so late. Do you want me to cook something for you?"

"I came back after eating, don't worry I'm not hungry."

"Do you want a boy or a girl?" Zhou Huimin asked again.

"Boys and girls are fine, but I still prefer a girl. It would be great if a girl is as beautiful and quiet as you. But if it's a boy who is naughty and mischievous like me, that won't work."

"I was also very naughty when I was little."

"Oh, there's another thing. Let's see how you get naughty."

"I don't want it, it's a shame."

"If you don't tell me, then I'll ask my aunt tomorrow."

"Don't, I'll tell you if the worst happens."

"You are not allowed to hide it"

"."

Warm and warm, Qi Wei spent the night with Zhou Huimin. (End of chapter)
