China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 111 The studio was established and a grand celebration party was held! (Please subscribe!)
The big framework of the contract was finalized, and the remaining details were easy to discuss. The three of them felt relieved.

Lin Xuan received a generous share ratio and the privilege of opening a studio.

Huayi signed him, a popular niche and emerging director, and this contract negotiation was a win-win situation.

After the contract was negotiated, Wang Zhongjun was in a good mood and had a few more drinks with him.

He also swore that even if Lin Xuan entered the company in the form of cooperation, he would still be the first brother of Huayi Company.

Hearing what he said, Lin Xuan accepted it with a smile.

Although he doesn't care, no one can compete with him for the title of First Brother.

Of the two future candidates, one has just graduated and is playing small roles here and there, and the other is still in school and just made his debut this year.

Put their names together, and others will just think that they are quarreling.

However, the battle between one sister and the other has already started in advance, and the two of them don't talk much when they meet now.

The last time Li Bingbing came to make a cameo, it was all for Lin Xuan's sake.

Fan Xiaopang suppressed his bad temper and often gave him pillow talk.

Li Bingbing often invites him out for dinner and reminiscing about old times.

It was quite difficult for Lin Xuan to be sandwiched between the two of them.

…………

The next day, Lin Xuan searched for a suitable office building in the capital.

Since you want to open a personal studio, you must have an office location.

Although his affairs are still handled by Wang Jinhua, his agent, the company still needs to have a shell.

At least finance and lawyers, the two most basic positions, need to be well-arranged.

His requirements were not high, so he quickly found a remote office building and rented a room that was less than 100 square meters.

Cleaning, purchasing items, handling relevant documents, and recruiting a few more experienced employees.

A few days later, "Lin Xuan Studio" was officially established.

On the 20th, Lin Xuan signed a new contract with Wang Jinhua in the office.

Seeing how shabby his studio was, Wang Jinhua even sent him some decorations to show off.

8 month 27 number.

Huayi announced that it has officially reached in-depth cooperation with Black Sea Red Sun.

Both parties jointly established a branch company, each holding 50% of the equity.

Huayi is responsible for film and television production, and Wang Jinhua is responsible for artist management.

This cooperation is a strong alliance, and more high-quality film and television works will be launched in the future.

Once the news was announced, it spread quickly and immediately caused a big earthquake in the circle.

Huayi made a lot of money by shooting commercials.

Later, he entered the film and television industry and invested in the works of many directors such as Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen.

In terms of strength, Huayi is one of the top three film and television production companies in the mainland.

And Wang Jinhua’s Black Sea Red Sun is even more famous.

After being praised by Lin Xuan, Chen Daoming, Ren Quan, Hu Jun, Fan Xiaopang, Li Bingbing and many other artists.

Wang Jinhua already has the reputation of "the first agent in the mainland" in the industry.

The new company they founded together ranked first in the industry in terms of strength, causing countless discussions inside and outside the industry.

The media has repeatedly reported on the prospects of cooperation between the two companies and what changes they will bring to the mainland film and television industry.

At this moment, the newly established Huayi Taihe broke another shocking news.

Lin Xuan spent his own money to buy out the contract, established "Lin Xuan Studio", and signed a five-year contract with Huayi Taihe in the name of the studio.

This news is another nuclear bomb.

Both practitioners in the industry and people outside the industry are very concerned about this matter.

There has never been any precedent for an artist to leave the company and set up a personal studio.

In this era, artists' salaries have not yet skyrocketed. Even if they make a few popular dramas, their ability to make money and their commercial value are still limited.

If you want to continue to be popular, you have to rely on the support of the brokerage company behind you.

If Lin Xuan was just an actor, leaving the company to establish a studio would be tantamount to chronic suicide, but he is still a screenwriter and director.

The box office of "Adult Style of Love" has exceeded 3000 million.

The investment ratio of this drama is not a secret. The four people broke the news on the show.

A simple mental calculation shows how much money this movie made them.

Because of this, Lin Xuan had the courage to open a studio.

Of course, the money he made from making movies was just a drop in the bucket compared to the company.

Therefore, after establishing the studio, he had to be affiliated with Huayi, and future development would be inseparable from Huayi's help.

Even if Lin Xuan is not completely independent, everyone is still surprised by it.

Because actors sign with a company, they can only passively accept the company's arrangements.

By cooperating as a studio, he has more bargaining power and room for negotiation, and is no longer just a part-time job.

After this incident broke out, many popular artists were ready to make moves and proposed to the company to re-sign and set up personal studios.

As a result, the company boss responded directly.

If you can make seven TV series in a row, the ratings of each one will be above 10%.

If you make another movie and get more than 3000 million in box office, I will allow you to open your own studio.

The boss's words left the artists speechless.

For a quasi-newcomer who only debuted for a year and a half, Lin Xuan's achievements can only be described as miraculous.

So he opened a studio, and the media was surprised and thought it was quite reasonable.Geniuses always have privileges. As for others, just go to sleep.

Of course, these are the opinions of the outside world, and they don't know that Lin Xuan is a wall hanging.

The reason why he affiliated with Huayi after establishing his studio was because he didn't want to be a villain who would burn bridges by crossing rivers, otherwise he would still be able to get by on his own.

Before signing the contract, more than a dozen film and television companies contacted him secretly.

Some companies want to poach him, some want to invite him to film, and some want to invest in his new movie.

In addition to these film and television companies, there are two big mountains behind him, China Film and Television and CCTV. Compared with them, Huayi is just a younger brother.

Whether Lin Xuan wants to act or film, there is no shortage of resources and investment.

As long as he doesn't do anything that would make people and gods angry, no one can block his way.

…………

Time came to April.

"Adult Style of Love" was finally released one month after its release, with the final box office set at 3600 million.

An investment of 120 million made a box office of 3600 million.

The film's return on investment was as high as ten times. This terrifying investment benefit allowed "Adult Style of Love" to set a new record in the mainland and become a new legend in film history.

As a director and screenwriter, Lin Xuan has also been praised by countless people.

Although his status in the industry cannot be compared with those famous directors, when talking about mainland directors, his name will definitely appear.

The day after the movie's final box office results were released, the media began reporting on it.

Some media began to praise Lin Xuan crazily, feeling that the Chinese film industry had finally received fresh blood.

Lin Xuan is young enough, has an active mind, and is more aware of the preferences of young people today.

Some media and movie people were unhappy with him.

Why does this kind of work with no depth and content achieve such a high box office?
The popularity of Lin Xuan's movies relies on the terrifying popularity he has accumulated in the field of TV series.

If things continue like this, every popular star will be able to cross over and become a director.

Anyway, they have the support of fans, and no matter what they make, they can get good box office. If this continues, Chinese-language movies will be finished.

The media on both sides have their own opinions, and they are engaged in crazy wars of words in newspapers, TV, and online forums.

But no matter how much they argued, it didn't affect Lin Xuan's good mood.

The four investors were the happiest when the movie was a hit at the box office.

Fan Xiaotian proposed to hold a celebration banquet in the hotel, and the other three naturally agreed.

In addition to several actors who participated in the movie, the four of them also mobilized connections to invite many people in the industry to make this celebration party more lively than a film festival.

Lin Xuan is so popular now that you can see him in the newspapers every day.

Many celebrities and actors want to get close to her and become familiar with her.

Even if I don't mean it, I still want to see him with my own eyes.

Look what this kid looks like, and he can actually cause such a big stir in the industry.

On the night of the celebration banquet, stars shone in the hotel banquet hall, and most of the people in the entertainment industry came.

If a star-chasing person sees this scene, he will probably faint from happiness.

Lin Xuan held a wine glass and kept walking among the crowd, enjoying the admiration and congratulations from people in the circle.

This once again confirms that statement.

As long as you are popular, you will meet good people.

As the producer of this movie, Han Sanping naturally participated in the celebration party.

He is a real boss, and there are not many people who get close to him for drinking.

The two had a drink, and Han Sanping said:
"The movie has been released, and China Film Group will supervise them regarding the box office split and try to get the split to your account before the Chinese New Year."

At this time, there are still five months before the Chinese New Year. With the help of China Film Group, we should be able to get the share before the year.

With a box office of 3600 million, each person can get a pre-tax dividend of 300 million.

A tenfold return on investment!
Everyone present was so envious!
Lin Xuan was in a good mood and invited him to come on stage to say a few words.

Han Sanping was not polite. After taking the stage, he began to brag about how he had a keen eye for pearls and a talented horse for a thousand li horse.

He chatted for more than ten minutes and seemed really happy.

For others, making movies is about becoming famous and making money.

But for him, releasing a hit movie is a real political achievement.

It is something worthy of being praised in meetings and written in reports to claim credit.

Although everyone with a discerning eye knows that Han Sanping is the next chairman of China Film.

But as long as the appointment doesn't come down for a day, there will be variables. Of course, he hopes to get a few more insurances.

So after he finished speaking, he immediately found Lin Xuan and asked:

"Have you finished the script of your new movie? When will it be ready to be filmed? Don't worry, China Film will invest in it no matter what the subject is."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan could only smile and shake his head.

When you make a movie, you are just laying eggs. Even if it is hanging on the wall, you still have to save points to buy the script.

“Mr. Han, don’t mention the next movie yet.

Now, the number of invitations for me to make movies, TV shows, and commercials has piled up more than one meter high, and I don’t have time to think about scripts for the time being.

And I promised director Qian Yanqiu that I would help him film "Detective Di Renjie 2" by the end of the year. "

Han Sanping knew that he was too impatient and Lin Xuan was not a fast shooter, so he stopped urging.

But he was still curious and asked: "You have become a great director, so forget about making movies. Why do you want to go back to make TV series?"
