The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 178 Resource Replacement
Orange Sky Entertainment is definitely one of the largest companies in China Entertainment. They not only have film producers, but also a music company, as well as theaters on Hong Kong Island and Po Village.

The company's top management has a very clear view of the future strategy.

Although the mainland co-production system in Hong Kong Island has not yet come out, they have already begun to invest in mainland movies, TV series, and artists.

After Mei Ting was abandoned by Ye Dashao, they quickly got in touch and incorporated him into the company.

Li Shengyao asked someone to send a message, expressing his cooperation, and Orange Sky replied quickly.

On the third day after he arrived at Hengdian, Zhu Hong, the Artist Director of Yanjing Branch of Orange Sky Entertainment, led Mei Ting to Hengdian in person.

Zhu Hong is in his thirties, wears a pair of glasses, looks very refined, speaks clearly, and looks like someone who has seen big scenes.

Mei Ting was exactly what Li Shengyao remembered, with big eyes and dark circles, and she was dumbfounded when she was not speaking.

She is really suitable for the heroine of "Master's Sun".

But in reality she is prettier than in the camera, and her face looks smaller.

Li Shengyao invited the two of them to sit down, and after exchanging a few words of pleasantries, he directly stated his previous cooperation intention.

"I think Mei Ting is very suitable for the TVB drama co-operated by Fenghua Film and Television Company. I hope she can act in it."

At this time, the actors are still very happy to go to Hong Kong Island to develop.

Especially Fenghua's dramas may be sold in Southeast Asia.

Mei Ting was naturally more willing, that's why she came here in person.

Zhu Hong knew if Li Shengyao had anything to say, it was just "hope", not "sure", and he wanted Orange Sky to show some sincerity.

After all, they don't owe you anything, so why should they give you resources?
Li Shengyao said, whether it is giving money or giving away, there must be many female stars who are willing.

"Director Li, thank you for your attention. Our Orange Sky is very willing to cooperate with you."

He paused, "Our best thing is the film production industry, and there is also our Orange Sky film shooting base on Hong Kong Island..."

Li Shengyao listened with a smile, but did not answer.

Orange Sky's so-called film production is actually Golden Harvest's film shooting base. Orange Sky is now Golden Harvest's second largest shareholder and has certain rights, but it cannot be regarded as their industry.

And after Cheng Longyuan left Hollywood, Golden Harvest's film production gradually failed.

Orange Sky's current film business in Hong Kong Island is mainly based on investment, and there are very few self-produced films.

Li Shengyao had no idea about Orange Sky's film and television base, and he didn't want to get involved in Orange Sky's few pitiful films.

There are very few movies in Hong Kong Island that can make money. He can even recite the top ten box office movies in Hong Kong Island in 02. He is sure that there are no movies made by Orange Sky.

It's not the right time to enter the film industry.

Zhu Hong saw that Li Shengyao was not interested in the Hong Kong Island film production he said, so he knew that Li Shengyao didn't like Hong Kong Island films.

He went on to say: "Our Orange Sky not only has a lot of achievements in film production, but also has some contacts in the music market. Director Li, I heard that "Da Shang Palace" does not have a theme song and ending song. We can help."

Li Shengyao nodded with a smile, "OK."

"Da Shang Gong" really needs a theme song, an ending song, and an interlude, as well as some beautiful and exciting pure music.

Li Shengyao remembered the tune of the theme song of "Dae Jang Geum" in his previous life, he could hum it.

However, after careful consideration, he felt that the peninsula style of this song was more obvious, and it was obviously not suitable for use.

Since we want to promote Chinese culture, we should use tunes with ancient Chinese rhyme or Chinese bearing.

Orange Sky not only owns shares in Golden Harvest, they also have a lot of shares in Aihui, so many artists in Orange Sky signed record contracts with Aihui.

If through Orange Sky, it is indeed a way to let people in the music circle write songs for "Da Shang Palace".

But it wasn't enough, he gave Mei Ting a heroine.

If "The Lord's Sun" becomes popular, no matter what, Mei Ting can get seven or eight endorsements, earning two to three million is no problem.

And how much is a few songs?

Seeing that Li Shengyao only said one word, Zhu Hong kept silent. Knowing Li Shengyao's attitude, they still need to continue to provide equal resources.

"We will invest in "Fengyun 2" next, does Director Li want to join the game?"

"Feng Yun 2" invited more stars, but the filming was not good, mainly because the story was too chaotic, and a lot of special effects were used.

Li Shengyao did not expect that the drama would be prepared so soon.

It seems that investors are very confident in "Fengyun 1".

If it were "Fengyun 1", he might vote, but "Fengyun 2" would be fine.

"No, "Fengyun 1" will only air in summer, and it's too early to discuss "Fengyun 2" now."

"Director Li, we watched the finished film. "Fengyun 1" is very well done. Don't worry, "Fengyun 2" will not be bad."

Li Shengyao shook his head and insisted on his point of view.

Seeing that Li Shengyao was not optimistic about "Fengyun 2", Zhu Hong felt that Li Shengyao was too cautious.

He thought for a while, and then said: "What about "Flying Knife Sees Flying Knife Again", Director Li, this is a TV series adapted from Gu Long's novel. The male lead is Zhang Zhilin, and the female lead is Lin Xinru. It's very eye-catching."

It was another messy drama. After one round of airing, the TV stations were basically unwilling to play it for an extra second.

Li Shengyao glanced at Zhu Hong.

I have to say that Cheng Tian is really rich. With such foolishness, he can still maintain his huge size, and he can still cover the circle of artists brought by Wang Jinghua.

They have enough funds, and if they make mistakes in investment, it will not affect the follow-up development at all.

"What about "Supreme Beauty"? Director Li, are you interested in investing in Supreme Beauty?"

Wu Zetian in this show is just like Bai Lianhua, but this show was quite popular back then.

Should be able to make money.

But he is not doing it for this small amount of money. It would be nice if he could get 50 in dividends for casting TV dramas. This little money is meaningless to him.

"Mr. Zhu, let me talk about my thoughts. I hope to get a promise from Orange Sky. My first movie will be released in four years at the latest. At that time, all the theaters of the Golden Harvest Cinemas in the Hong Kong Island area will at least give me [-] More than [-]% of the filming in the sky."

Zhu Hong was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that what Li Shengyao wanted was this.

Although he had seen some interviews with Lee Seung Yew and knew that Lee Seung Yew wanted to enter the film industry, he thought that Lee Seung Yew was not telling the truth, just talking about scenes.

Now it seems that they really want to enter the film industry.

The film market on Hong Kong Island is not very large, but if the quality of the film is excellent, it is not impossible to achieve a total box office of 2000 million.

Thinking about what will happen in three or four years so early, Zhu Hong is a little impressed, but Orange Sky is not the only boss of Golden Harvest.

"Director Li, wait for me, I will give you an answer in five minutes."

Zhu Hong then took out his phone and left.

Mei Ting stared wide-eyed, looking at Li Shengyao in puzzlement.

This domestic entertainer is currently No.1 in the TV circle, and he is going to make a movie in the future. Did he drink too much?

Mei Ting acted in a movie with Zhang Guorong, and the box office was average.

Her manager often complained to her that Orange Sky's movies in Hong Kong Island were bad and worthless, so she was told not to accept them.

She felt that making movies was meaningless, and she didn't understand why Li Shengyao insisted on going to the film industry.

At this time, Zhu Hong came back, "Director Li, no problem, within four years, if your film is released on Hong Kong Island, we will give you more than [-]% in the Golden Harvest Cinemas, the schedule of the film during the popular time, and only need a minimum of [-]% of the distribution fee."

"Okay, nice to work with."

Li Shengyao laughed, he managed Shaw Brothers' cinema in Pocun Malai, and Golden Harvest's cinema in Hong Kong Island.

When his movie is released, he will be able to harvest in two important markets outside the mainland.

We'll see if we can live up to it.

The effect of these two markets is good, not only can make money, but also feed back to the mainland and enhance the momentum of the film.
