Chapter 550: Secret attack on "Painted Skin 2", defeating Chen Jiashang

Taiji Films is a Hong Kong film company. This company has a glorious history, that is, it at least escaped the Asian financial crisis in 1997.

Many people don't know much about this company. When they mention Hong Kong movies, they think of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. But in fact, this company is very powerful.

Maybe he is not very famous, but he has also made a lot of movies, some of which are classics, such as "A Hard Man" and "Sword Laughter"... The distributor is Jiahe, and Taiji is the main investment company. One of the investors.

In fact, it is really strong. It is said that it has the largest movie library in Hong Kong, with more than 500 movies.

And right now, Tai Ji's very powerful movie is "Painted Skin".

The movie "Painted Skin" was a huge success. It was basically the best movie in the company's history. It grossed more than [-] million yuan at the box office, which was really a huge profit.

Moreover, this is also a successful experience for Hong Kong film companies to develop northward.

Of course, there were some twists and turns in the process. During this period, there was infringement by a company and a lawsuit was filed between the two parties.

But overall, "Painted Skin" is very successful.

Then another good thing happened, a big shot came to inject capital.

You know, Hong Kong movies are really having a hard time, although people are shouting all day long about maintaining the authenticity of Hong Kong movies and not to join forces with people from the north, which will make Hong Kong movies impure.

But, damn, you can't make any money in Hong Kong, and you can't go to Taiwan. They only let ten movies go there a year. What do movie makers in Hong Kong eat?

Regarding this kind of thing, everyone in the Hong Kong film circle can say it, but their footsteps are heading north. The loudest ones are actually the so-called "waste youth" on the Hong Kong Internet.

These bastards shout loudly, but if they really support the movie box office and buy a movie ticket, then... I'm sorry, why go to the movie theater when there are pirated copies to watch.

Faced with this situation, of course Taiji had to go north and make it bigger. With the huge success of "Painted Skin", he would directly set up a branch in Beijing.

In fact, someone had already taken the first step and took over a considerable part of Taiji's control. She was Yan Zi.

As the first heroine of "Painted Skin", Yan Zi takes the most credit, and she has extraordinary connections in the mainland circle. So, it is of course very simple to get into Taiji. In fact, Taiji is now in The branches in the capital are basically all controlled by Yan Zi.

Taiji's boss is also a woman. Her husband just passed away. It is almost her only choice to cooperate with Yan Zi. It is very good, so why not do it.

And Yan Zi is mainly busy with one thing right now, and that is "Xiao Qian Ghost" that Taiji has already ordered.

They were part of the investment in this movie back then, but their reputation is not very prominent. This company is quite interesting, and it can be considered a low-key way to make a fortune. Therefore, there is no problem with the copyright. This new version has been thought about for a long time, and various plans have been made. , all kinds of preparations are done very well.

Now, of course, we need to speed up. Our new film must be released as soon as possible. It is best to release it during the Lunar New Year this year to put an end to that bastard Bai Shiqiu.

Yan Zi was very busy all of a sudden, and she had to deal with many things.

"Who is the director planning to find?"

"Ye Weixin, his skills are good."

"Otherwise, we might as well wait for Chen Jia to become a teacher. Isn't his "Painted Skin" very successful?"

"Sister Yanzi, why don't we go find Yu Rentai? Ghost King."

Many people in the team gave Yan Zi suggestions. Directors are very important. Although this time "Xiao Qian Ghost" is a cross-strait collaboration, it is obviously better to find a Hong Kong director.

Ye Weixin has been in the limelight recently. The two-part "Ip Man" has made him famous, and he has won many awards. Whether it is Hong Kong or the mainland, his reputation is not small.

As for the ghost king Yu Rentai, he is now working in Hollywood. "Freddy vs. Jason" was produced by him.

As for Chen Jiashang, this guy has also come to the mainland to make money. The previous "Painted Skin" was quite good, but now, he should be preparing for "Painted Skin 2".

"Let's contact Ye Weixin. As for others, the male protagonist...is there anyone who looks like a brother?" Yan Zi was very decisive, her ability was really strong.

"Looking for Chen Zhiming?" someone suggested.

"Yes, he looks very much like him."

this. . .

"Forget it, that guy, haha..." It's not like Yan Zi has never cooperated with Chen Zhiming. They had contact when they were filming "Returning the Pearl", but I just think that guy... is really fucking weird.

Of course you can't say that on the surface.

So, we have to think carefully about the male protagonist and so on.

“Let’s enjoy Gutian!”

"Forget it, he's too dark now."

"What about playing Yan Chixia?"

"Is this... similar? Not rough enough?"

The discussion was very lively. At this time, the script had been completed, and it was time to find someone. With the cooperation of everyone from the three places across the Taiwan Strait, the heroine was decided, Feifei.

However, there is one person who is feeling rather uncomfortable right now, and he is very anxious.

"Yan Zi! Yan Zi!"

The Taiji Film Company in the capital city was at a loss for what to do by someone's yelling.

"What's wrong? Director Chen, what's wrong with you?" Yan Zi felt very strange, very strange.

It was Chen Jiashang. He was very short and not very handsome. Originally, this was not a big deal, but this great Hong Kong director was very panicked at this time.

"Oops! Yan Zi, it's not good now, it's really bad, something big has happened!" Chen Jiashang looked worried at this time.

"That's what you said." Yan Zi was also angry. What happened to Director Chen?

"It's over! "Painted Skin" is gone!" Chen Jiashang was about to cry.

"Ah?" Yan Zi was also confused when he heard this.

What really happened?
Since "Painted Skin" is a success, of course there will be a second one, "Painted Skin 2", but there is something very special about it.

Whose "Painted Skin" is?

Whose?
Anyway, it is not from Taiji Films. This film is a collaboration between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. This is indeed true. Moreover, there are many other companies in it. The real ones that really occupy the main part are several mainland companies.

Let's put it this way, if this movie is regarded as an IP, then the person who controls the IP is a person named Zhenjian. His name is in the title of the painting. His surname is Yang, and his affiliation is Xi'an Film studio.

In fact, from the inside of this movie, the relationship is very complicated. There are many companies, but the real leader is Xiying Film Studio. Xiying Film Factory is a very powerful film company in our country, old man.

As for this truth, his position is called Marketing Operations Director.

But in fact, this is the IP.

Taiji Films is one of the main financiers. Originally, everyone had planned to continue working on the second film, but there were two particularly interesting twists and turns.
The first time, it was the Wang brothers who intervened.

"Painted Skin 1" was a huge success, so the Wang brothers teamed up with Boss Jia from Leshi and Zhang Zhao from Guangwang to get their hands on this IP.

If you really do it, it will happen, but in the end... Huayi changed his boss.

The second hiatus came.

How can this be done?

turn back.

Zhenjian was unsure, so he asked Taiji, also known as Yanzi, to talk to him.Of course Yan Zi was very happy and kept talking like this, but she was very busy after all, so she handed the task to Chen Jiashang.

Moreover, Chen Jiashang didn't say anything nice to Bai Shiqiu anyway.

Huayi replaced Bai Shiqiu to take the helm, Zhenjian said that he was not familiar with him, and it was better to talk to old acquaintances.

It's a good thing. Yan Zi is full of confidence in this matter, and she has a bet with Bai Shiqiu. Recently, she has simply focused her work on "Xiao Qian Ghost".

However, unexpectedly, the cooked duck flew away.

"What the hell is going on?!" Yan Zi was furious.

"Huayi is taking action!" That's all Chen Jiashang knew.

Huayi takes action?Isn't that Bai Shiqiu's move?
In fact, Yan Zi really misunderstood Bai Shiqiu.

It was Qianqian who took action.

What really happened?
It's very simple. Bai Shiqiu mentioned this matter when he and his wife were trying to make things happen.

IPs like "Painted Skin 2" must of course be taken down.

But the question is, how to get it off?
Is it just money?I'm afraid it won't work.

You have to give them a very favorable condition.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is still because of money, but Xiying Film Studio must make this IP well, and long-term development is their real goal.

Then, of course, there will be some individual temptations.

For example, who will be the male and female protagonists?

How about our Bai Shiqiu?
Not worse than Chen Kun.

As the heroine, do you still want to use Mr. Zhou?

you can!

That Yan Zi...can I change it to someone else?
Can it be better than Yan Zi?
Let’s talk, give various conditions, show our sincerity and highlight our advantages.

At present, Huayi and Red Star are already one family, so they have become very powerful in terms of resources. We can give them whatever stars they want, and do whatever they want for promotions. It doesn’t matter. We have theaters on hand. , there is internet...

There are so many advantages.

Moreover, for now, it seems that Taiji's Yan Zi is not too concerned about this matter.

Yes, Yan Zi is busy working on "Xiao Qian Ghost".

There is actually a problem with Chen Jiasheng here. The Hong Kong director feels that the collaboration is a certainty, so in terms of attitude... he mainly scolds that guy Bai Shiqiu.

This made Zhenjian very shaken.

Bai Shiqiu didn't scold you. Moreover, Bai Shiqiu is still so successful at a young age. Even if there is something wrong with him, can it be said that his success is accidental?

How could it be like the despicable, shameless and useless villain that you Chen Jiashang said.

In addition, if you want to get in touch with Yan Zi, you can't, and there is Wang Zhongjun who comes forward.

You know, the box office of this movie is very imaginative. You can almost make money after taking it. Although Wang Zhongjun has lost control of Huayi, he is still the major shareholder after all. The stock has not moved. The movie makes money. He still divides the majority.

Naturally very enthusiastic.

With Zhenjian considering this, it is better to cooperate with Huayi, not for Bai Shiqiu, but to give face to the Wang brothers.

In this way, there is such a result, "Painted Skin 2" has become Huayi's, and the male lead is planning to find Bai Shiqiu. As for the female lead, now she has chosen Mr. Zhou, and we will find another one.

This matter, of course, spread to the Orland Club.

"Bai Shiqiu goes too far!" Zhang Zhao couldn't help but curse.

"This guy is so hurtful! On the surface, he made a bet with Yan Zi, but behind the scenes he actually resorted to such a trick! It's so bad, so bad!" Boss Jia felt heartbroken.

"This guy is so bad! He actually used this method to deal with a woman! Damn it!" Xiao Ma's Mr. Li was filled with indignation.

Yan Zi was a little embarrassed at this time, but she had to hold on. After all, now that the results have come out, she had to work harder, "Everyone, listen to me, I was careless this time. I didn't expect Bai Shiqiu to come with me like this." One move! However, there is a good thing right now, that is the bet I made with him. He is so arrogant and forgetful that he wants to fight us in Hong Kong. Hum! By then, our "Xiao Qian Ghost" will win Come on, look how he still jumps around!"

It makes a lot of sense.

"Yes! Hong Kong, what can this bastard do?" Zhang Zhao echoed.

"Bai Shiqiu was too clever but his cleverness led him astray. He is dead this time." Mr. Li agreed.

As for Boss Jia, he had one thing in mind, but he couldn't say it, "We Leshi bought the online broadcast rights for "Xiao Qian Ghost" first."

Huo, this move attracted praise from everyone.

This is a direct blood transfusion, and Yan Zi is naturally very happy.

In other words, although they are in an alliance, they all have their own interests. In other words, when it comes to interests, they are not stupid.

Zhang Zhao also came out and said, "We have a pretty good girl in Guangming. Liu Wei, she has acted in "Painted Skin" before. Come over and help this time. She should be good as a female ghost."

He said this, that Liu Yi... female ghost, sucks people's yang energy, and is really suitable for her.

Everyone was chattering, and all kinds of ideas came out one after another, but some people can't forget it.

"Bosses, I..." Chen Jiashang also came. He is a great director and always has something to say, "Actually, I can't make "Painted Skin". I also have an idea for a movie called "Painted Wall" "."

It turns out that the great director still has a secret secret.

After everyone listened to his statement, they found that it was not bad.

"Do it! Do this movie!" Zhang Zhao was very happy.

Well, in this case, they now have two projects, one is Yan Zi's "Xiaoqian Ghost", and the other is the light-driven "Painting Wall".

From this point of view, in the face of Bai Shiqiu's strong suppression, they also have enough means to fight back.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere was very good again.

After that, of course it was time to curse Bai Shiqiu again, foaming at the mouth and flying with red wine.

What about Bai Shiqiu, whom they hate so much?

At this time, after he won the "Painted Skin 2", of course he had several movie plans, and he also had to go back and finish filming "Let the Bullets Fly", but at the moment, he wanted to see someone.

"Nana, how are you?"

"You heartless person, you came to see me."
