China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 639: "Married" Man's Morning and Starry Sky New Project [Two-in-One]

"Exclusive news: Huang Xiaoming and his rumored girlfriend met with friends late at night."

"Huang Xiaoming and Sun Yi were at a party late at night, and their rumored girlfriend and Liu Yifei were there to accompany them. According to the news that Huang Xiaoming's agency contract with Huayi has not been renewed and will officially end at the end of the year, the author speculates that Huang Xiaoming may switch to Star Sky."

Yesterday, Sun Yi and Liu Yifei made such a big fuss at the Beijing Film Academy that it was impossible for them not to be noticed by the paparazzi.

In the evening, Huang Xiaoming and his rumored girlfriend were added to the mix, which made people even more unable to let it go. After all, they were caught by the paparazzi and the news spread online early the next morning.

Netizens have all kinds of speculations.

Some people think that this is a very normal thing, just a gathering among good friends.

They also showed photos of Sun Yi, Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming working together on the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes for many years, and pointed out that all three of them graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and that it was Teachers' Day, so they just came together to visit their teachers and have a party.

Some people think that the report is not groundless. Huang Xiaoming must have intended to change his employer, otherwise why would he be reluctant to renew his contract with Huayi.

Some people don't care about these at all, and just watch the show calmly. Instead, they pay attention to Antetokounmpo, the rumored girlfriend who has appeared with Huang Xiaoming many times.

By the way, the two of them met thanks to Sun Yi.

If he hadn't given the role of Takeda to Huang Xiaoming, their marriage might not have been possible.

Huang Xiaoming and Baby met by chance at the end of last year when Wanwan was promoting the movie "The Sound of Wind".

When the two met, they were instantly attracted to each other.

Love has already sprouted in each other's hearts.

They had been flirting with each other for several months until they officially established their relationship half a year ago. Otherwise, without this official status, I wouldn't dare bring it with me to parties with Sun Yi and Liu Yifei, as it would have been too disrespectful.

"Brother, do you think they can succeed?"

At breakfast, Liu Yifei had just finished a bowl of porridge and didn't even have time to eat the fried eggs, but she couldn't wait to start gossiping.

Liu Yifei was particularly diligent today. Not only did she get up early, she also made breakfast.

Although there were only millet porridge, fried eggs and the side dishes she robbed from Liu's mother, which were not as sumptuous as those in other breakfast shops, they were full of thoughtfulness and made people feel happier.

Sun Yi stared at the fried eggs in front of Liu Yifei and replied casually.

"I think they can make it. Are you full? No, I'll eat this."

As he spoke, he held out his chopsticks.

"Why do you think they can succeed?"

Just when Sun Yi was about to pick up the egg with his chopsticks, Liu Yifei was quick with her hands and eyes, and in the blink of an eye she put the fried egg into her mouth and then took a small bite.

Sun Yi felt that he had been fooled, but there was nothing he could do. He could only put down his chopsticks and smile.

"That's how I feel. If it wasn't settled, Brother Xiao Ming wouldn't have been brought out to meet us. Didn't you sit with her last night? They say women's sixth sense is very accurate. You can judge for yourself."

"I taste it myself?"

Liu Yifei began to recall the scene of last night's party.

While recalling the past, he very naturally passed the fried egg that he had just taken a small bite of to Sun Yi.

Seeing that Sun Yi wanted to take it with chopsticks, he immediately frowned and had to let him open his mouth and eat it directly before he showed a satisfied look.

"I also think they are real. They kept exchanging glances at each other during the party last night, just like before. Uh."

"What at the beginning?"

"Nothing, eat your omelette."

"Hehe, okay, okay."

Sun Yi was thinking while eating.

Aren’t we just the two of us back then? We are an old married couple now, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

A simple morning passed like this. Sun Yi was going to the company, and Liu Yifei made an appointment with teacher Cui Xinqin to take an acting class in the afternoon.

When Sun Yi was about to leave, Liu Yifei gave him instructions like a dutiful young wife.

"Don't forget your car keys and cell phone."

"I see. You think I'm like you, confused little one."

"Cut~"

"Wait for Zhang Xin to come over this afternoon and ask her to go with you. Also, practice your acting skills appropriately and listen to Teacher Cui's arrangements. Don't try to be stubborn and hurt yourself."

"I know, old man~"

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"Wait! Have you forgotten something again~"

"Ah, haha, come on, wife, give me a kiss~"

"If you forget next time, I'll make you pay~"

Sun Yi experienced the "happy" morning of a married man. He came to the company and began to coordinate the company's business in the recent period with Yang Fan.

"The drama Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace produced by our company has just premiered on Beijing Satellite TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV. With the support of its predecessor, The Legend of Zhen Huan, this drama has received very good responses. At the beginning of the premiere, the average ratings reached 7 percentage points. Both TV stations have signed advertising layering agreements with us. Excluding production costs, we can earn at least 1.5 million yuan from this TV series."

Yang Fan first reported the results of the production department to Sun Yi.

After 8 months of shooting and post-production, the sister series of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", also starring Zhou Xun, was officially aired in early September.

The ratings were good, continuing Star Image's dominance in the TV drama field, and even led the two satellite TV stations to sign advertising tiering agreements again.

"TV series still make money, and we can't give up on this. We need to develop movies and TV series simultaneously, and increase investment in TV production. Now that we have Star Digital, we have a new angle in choosing TV series themes."

"For works like Xianxia, ​​fantasy, etc. that require big special effects, we can start the project preparation and conduct cost testing."

Sun Yi feels that the TV drama department should not give up at any time, not only in terms of revenue, but also from the perspective of publicity.

For the general public, TV series are naturally more popular than movies, and film and television companies like Star Sky cannot give up on this at all.

In the future, we can also cooperate with major Internet giants and develop in the direction of online dramas depending on the situation.

Yang Fan nodded. He and Sun Yi had the same idea that TV series and movies were complementary, and Starry Sky must walk on two legs.

Now that the TV series report is finished, it’s the movie’s turn.

"The overseas box office bills for Pacific Rim have come out in various regions. The actual revenue is similar to our estimate, totaling 9063 million US dollars. Because the policies and distribution partners in each region are different, this amount will not be credited until the next two to three months. Japan and South Korea are faster, followed by North America. There are many countries in Europe, so they need to be aggregated, so this amount will be the slowest."

"Yes, with this money, I feel more at ease. It doesn't matter if we take it slow, good things come late. The overseas box office alone has helped us recover our costs and make extra money. The rest of the domestic box office is pure profit."

Sun Yi was in a good mood when he heard the overseas revenue data. After nearly two years of hard work, he finally got a considerable reward.

"Yes, the past two years have not been in vain. I finally got what I wanted from you."

Yang Fan put down the report, took out a cigarette, took out one and took a deep puff.

Because he knew that Sun Yi was under control, he didn't even ask Sun Yi when he smoked.

"Sometimes I wonder if I am lucky, otherwise how could I meet someone like you, Xiaoyi? To be honest, sometimes I dream that I am in my forties and still working day and night in Lao Zhang's company."

"Ha, who can tell what happens in dreams? Don't think too much. Just grasp the present moment." "Yeah, grasp the present moment. Oh, by the way, is Huang Xiaoming's story true? Is he going to join our Starry Sky?"

Yang Fan just sighed for a moment, then immediately returned to work and asked about the news circulating on the Internet this morning.

"He wanted to open his own studio and invited me to invest in it. I agreed, so I can be considered as joining Starry Sky."

"Oh, that's great. Your senior brother's commercial value is second to none among our mainland male actors. I heard that he is also hardworking. I am proud of such people now."

After saying that, Yang Fan sighed again.

"It would be great if everyone in the company was like Yang Mi."

When Sun Yi heard this, his mouth twitched.

He had heard that there were two "number one ladies" in the company, one of whom was Zhou Xun in the true sense.

The other one is Yang Mi, who is known as the "hard-working sister".

Since she joined Star Sky, she has accepted all the scripts from the company, and has also attended all the commercial activities arranged by Guo Ming as long as her health allows.

It has only been a few months since she joined Star Sky, but she has already starred in the company's internal projects "Beijing Loves Seattle" and participated in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", playing a second female role with a lot of scenes. She also starred in a company cooperative project "Palace Lock Heart Jade".

This work-hardening style has completely broken the previously free and easy atmosphere of Starry Sky. With her own efforts alone, she has increased the business data of the brokerage department by more than ten percentage points.

You know, the revenue data of Star Sky Brokerage Department is in billions.

The bottom line is ten percentage points, which is ten million.

Now, from Yang Fan to Guo Ming, and even Vice President Gao Xilan, there is no one in the company who is not proud of Yang Mi.

As for Liu Yifei, she was the future boss lady, and no one cared about her at all. She had been completely excluded.

Sun Yi burst out laughing.

Even though this old classmate of mine has changed his environment, he is still as supportive as ever.

"Oh, yes, there is one more thing, a big thing!"

Yang Fan slapped his head and suddenly thought of something.

"China Film and Xiao Ma have asked several times about our plans for our next industrial film."

Speaking of this, Sun Yi was a little worried. He was still thinking clearly about which movie he should shoot.

It’s not that he didn’t have any options, but on the contrary, there were too many good works, making it difficult for him to make a decision.

"There's no rush for this. Let's put it aside for now and think about it carefully. Even if I decide on a project now, I don't have the time. I have two movies waiting for me. There will definitely be no chance this year."

After saying this, Sun Yi sighed and said with a sad face:
"I'm going to start lifting weights tomorrow. What a nightmare."

"Pumping iron?"

"Work out. In my next movie with Sissi, I'm going to play a boxer. I have to get in shape."

"Oh, oh, ha, hahahaha, that's your business between you two, I can't interfere. Don't complain to me in front of others, you might be very happy about it in your heart."

"Hey, you!"

"Haha, no more talking. I have something else to do. Let's go now."

Yang Fan laughed and left Sun Yi's office, leaving Sun Yi alone with a miserable look on his face.

No, you can’t just suffer by yourself, you have to find someone to suffer with.

Judging from facial features, the most miserable person in the entire starry sky is Li Ruijun.

I was still a little nervous when I saw Sun Yi.

"Rui Jun, how is it, have you summarized the experience of Hidden in the Dust in the past six months?"

"Well, it's almost there."

Li Ruijun's answer was as brief as ever.

"Any ideas for your next work?"

"Not yet."

"How about the company arrange one for you?"

"I, I'm a director, is this okay?"

"Yes, you are the director this time. The script is here. Take a look."

As Sun Yi spoke, he took out a script, then sat there and looked at Li Ruijun's bitter face with a smile, and suddenly felt much more balanced.

Li Ruijun pursed his lips, his throat kept surging, and he rubbed his palms on the hem of his clothes repeatedly several times. Finally, he could not suppress his desire for the script and reached out his hand.

When I opened it, I saw five big words.

""Chinese Partners""

On September 9, Zhang Guoshi's "Under the Hawthorn Tree" held its premiere ceremony in Beijing, and Sun Yi was invited to attend.

Master Zhang came to his last premiere, so this time he was returning the favor. Even though he was sore all over from lifting weights, he still forced himself to come.

Liu Yifei did not come with them. After a week of hard training, she is now in the critical period of entering the role and cannot be disturbed by the outside world, so Xun Jieer had to attend on her behalf.

Perhaps because of "Three Guns", the Q&A session at the premiere seemed very sloppy, with just a few simple questions.

What was even surprising was that Master Zhang actually talked about his next movie, "The Flowers of War", at the premiere.

It feels like one has given up on "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

In fact, it was all because of Sun Yi. The Three Guns was a big blow to the old man, and recently there was another movie called Pacific Rim that shocked the entire Chinese film industry.
He is now focused on making his own big production and proving himself again.

The movie lasted more than an hour, and to be honest, Sun Yi felt a little drowsy. He was already exhausted from lifting weights, and with this hypnotic thing, he almost lost control and fell asleep at the premiere. If it weren't for Xun Jie'er beside him who woke him up several times, he might have lost his temper.

It’s not that the movie is bad, but it’s not suitable for people of Sun Yi’s generation.

The pure love story between Lao San and Jing Qiu is indeed beautiful and touching.

But the film's smooth and uneventful narrative style, as well as the occasional black-screen narration, make people feel that this is a documentary.

There are no strong plot conflicts, the pace is slow and dull, there is no suspense at all, and it does not stimulate the audience's strong thinking ability. After watching the beginning, you can guess the ending.

Maybe Sun Yi's ability to appreciate art is not yet up to par, but he really can't appreciate this, especially the little yellow duck.

It’s like I don’t understand why the aesthetic in the 1980s was like this?

Where did you put the Queen of our Kingdom of Women?
Perhaps as Sun Yi expected, the box office performance of the movie was flat. Even though Zhang Weiping of the new picture once again used his publicity skills, but today when Master Zhang's golden body has been broken, the audience is no longer buying it.

The movie's first-week box office barely broke 4000 million, which was even lower than "Three Guns".
In September, there was another big event in the film and television industry. The shortlist for the 9th China Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards was officially announced.

Because last year's 09 was a big year for the Chinese film and television industry, with a large number of excellent films emerging, this year's Hundred Flowers Film Festival has a lot to watch.

On this year's candidate list, Liu Yifei was nominated for the Hundred Flowers Film Best Actress for the first time for her role as Yang Wanyu in the movie "Wings of the Sky".
