During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 112 Wei Jin: I just want to go to the Oscars

"Mr. Wei, the people from South Korea's KBS have left. They invite you to go to South Korea when you have time."

Since August, Wei Jin has basically been handling related matters in the company. "My Love from the Star" has become a hit in China and has also attracted the attention of surrounding countries. TV stations in many countries such as South Korea, RB, and Thailand have expressed purchase intentions. .

After several days of negotiations, South Korea has reached an agreement with a total price of US$300 million. It is estimated that as soon as the news comes out, TV stations in several other countries will also close the deal as soon as possible, which is considered good news.

"Well, the company has to arrange relevant personnel to be responsible for overseas copyright sales. We will definitely have to deal with this in the future."

Whether it is a TV series or a future variety show, Wei Jin believes that more and more projects will go abroad, and it is necessary to form relevant teams in advance.

"I understand that the TV series production department and the film production department will set up relevant groups to be responsible for external affairs."

The longer he joins the company, the more Chen Zhiming feels that his original decision was a wise one. In just a few years, the company has developed to such an extent that it seems to have the ability to export to the outside world.

"By the way, the payment from Mango Terrace has arrived. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. We made a lot of money this time."

Chen Zhiming's bet on Wei and Jin is simply astonishing. Calculated, the price of a single episode is as high as 260 million. This is a sky-high price when the purchase price of domestic TV series generally does not exceed 80 per episode.

"I guess they won't agree to this approach for "The Temptation of Going Home." When the time comes, we will organize a movie viewing party and see if we can broadcast it on several channels."

Wei Jin also knew that in this way, the TV station did not make any money, and the profits were basically given to the producers. The TV station was still more willing to pursue safety.

Chen Zhiming reported some work and then left. Wei Jin sat alone in the office to sort out his thoughts.

"Zhu Xian" has started filming a week ago. Wu Jinyuan has been quite busy during this period. While filming a new drama, he also has to find time to check out the post-production progress of "Beauty's Scheming". It is really painful and happy. Wei Jin reminds me He takes care of his body and is not in a hurry during post-production.

Liu Yifei recommended Shu Chang for the role of Tian Linger, and Wei Jin thought it was quite suitable.

Shu Chang has been having a hard time this year. At the end of 2005, it was revealed that she was sued by her previous agency for taking on external projects without permission. After paying related liquidated damages, her reputation plummeted.

Later, Wei Jin found out that it was all her agent's fault. It was unreliable to find relatives as agents.

There is a saying that among the relatives in the circle who are agents, there are really only two sisters, Li Bingbing and Li Xue, who can make a fool of themselves, while the rest have either been tricked or deceived.

I have to say that Shu Chang and Liu Yifei are really good at it. They are both good at playing Tianhu cards. They were originally the new generation's strong players. However, they didn't go to the Chinese Opera after being admitted to the school. They turned around and applied to the Institute of Foreign Languages. This operation is also It's magical enough.

The role of Tian Linger will be outstanding if she plays the role well. It can be regarded as a little help from Wei Jin.

Ying Huang's side of "Ip Man" has also started filming, and I don't know whose path Zhen Tan followed. In the end, the role was given to him, but Wei Jin didn't have any objections. It was just that it was a series. Wei Jin proposed One request was to add a salary increase ratio when signing the contract to prevent the lion from talking too much later.

The casting for "New World" has also ended, and filming is expected to start in the near future. This time Liu Tianwang is very sincere and is willing to reduce his salary to star. Out of appreciation, Wei Jin agreed. He thought he and Sun Honglei were nine years apart in age. The age of the year is a bit inconsistent, but after cleaning up, the two of them look almost the same age, and Wei Jin can only lament that the king is not old.

Wei Jin has stuffed some of its own artists into these two movies, and Yinghuang has no objections to this. Just kidding, what can it say? Wei Jin has both produced scripts and invested in them, so what's the matter with throwing in some people?
  The heroine of "Ip Man" was given to Yang Rong, and the female police officer in "New World" was given to Yang Xue, which can be regarded as opening up the movie path for the two of them.

This made the two sisters anxious, thinking that the boss had something in mind for them, but if it was true, they might not refuse.

After handling the company's affairs, Wei Jin came to China Film.

Looking at the place he had not been to for a long time, Wei Jin felt a little emotional.

Wei Jin came to Han Sanping's office with ease, thinking about how to persuade him.

"Hey, what brought our Director Wei here?"

Han Sanping, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was speaking in a strange way.

"Mr. Han, please don't put a high hat on me and still be angry about what happened last time? You shouldn't. With Mr. Han's atmosphere, I don't think it is."

Wei Jin didn't care, and sat down without waiting for Han Sanping's greeting. "What do you mean, you just gave up on two projects? We have been dealing with each other for so many years, so we have forgotten our old friends?"

Han Sanping became angry when he mentioned this matter. If Mr. Fu of Yindu Agency hadn't chatted with him, he would have been kept in the dark.

"Then how can we forget? Even if I, Wei Jin, forget, no one can forget China Film and Television. Mr. Han, can you give me a chance to explain?"

Seeing that Han Sanping was really still sulking, Wei Jin had no choice but to explain:
  "These two projects are not big in themselves, and they are going to be co-productions. I only have 6% of the shares, so it won't look good if they are divided."

"Then I don't care. As an old friend, if you didn't bring China Film with you this time, you have to make up for me."

Han Sanping has been with Wei Jin for a long time, and he also knows Wei Jin's weaknesses. It would be better to talk more about feelings. This man is soft-hearted.

"Now, I've prepared everything for you. Let me tell you, Mr. Han, you are also the second-in-command of China Film Group Corporation. Can you be more graceful?"

Wei Jin handed the prepared script to Han Sanping angrily and said teasingly:

"What can demeanor do? Can it make money for China Film Group or can it bring political achievements? It would have been better if it had been taken out earlier."

Han Sanping picked up the script and read it for about ten minutes:
  "The book is pretty good, but it doesn't have any big scenes. How much is the investment? This time China Film will be at least 4%. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impatient with you."

"Okay, you are the leader, you have the final say, 5000 million investment, China Film will hold 4%, this time it will be our two."

The production cost of this film will probably not exceed 3000 million, and the million is his own remuneration. I think China Film Group will not have any objections, but Wei Jin is worried about another thing:

"Mr. Han, this year's foreign language film Oscar."

"I asked you why you are so easy to talk to today. It turns out you are waiting for me here. Well, what should I say about this matter? It's a bit difficult to handle."

Han Sanping also found it difficult when he heard this. In fact, every year when applying for Oscars for foreign language films, each country has only one spot.

"You also know that Lao Mouzi's new movie will be released by the end of the year. There are many people who are optimistic about him. The top leaders also favor Lao Mouzi. Zhang Weiping has also made many connections. With your interference, the leaders It will be difficult.”

"I, a Cannes Palme d'Or director, am so hopeless? Even though "Room" won the top prize at Cannes, I'm not even giving him a chance?"

Wei Jin hates this kind of seniority-based approach. Last year, he actually pushed "The Promise" out of the situation. Although he knew that "Painted Skin" was not going to work, he always felt unhappy in his heart. He still blamed himself for being too young and always making people laugh. Subconsciously ignored.

"Well, don't worry. It's still early. Maybe there will be changes by then?"

Han Sanping planned to see the quality of Lao Mouzi's new film. If his crotch was pulled, wouldn't Wei Jin be the best substitute?
  "Mr. Han, don't you think that it's over once you select someone and push it out? I'll start public relations if you decide it earlier."

Wei Jin almost laughed angrily. These people are so naive. Is it that easy?

To compete for Oscars, generally speaking, you first go to the three major European film festivals to win awards, then participate in international film festivals, build your reputation along the way, and finally release it in North America at the end of the year, trying to make thousands of judges at least have an impression of the film. The awards will be held the following year. It is possible to be nominated only in season.

This is not what these old guys in China think. Selecting a film is just waiting for the Oscar judges to make a fair and just choice.

Seeing that Wei Jin's attitude was so determined and he was not even willing to wait, Han Sanping knew that he was determined to win the spot.

Han Sanping kept weighing in his mind. In the past, as long as Lao Mouzi's movie was released every year, it would definitely be the best choice, but this year Wei Jin's movie "The Room" does have a great advantage.

It can even be said that from a neutral perspective, it makes perfect sense to choose Wei and Jin.

"Okay, I promise you, China Film and even the film bureau will fully support you, but more of it needs your own efforts."

After a period of silence, Han Sanping promised to give full support within his ability. For him, this was not an easy choice, which meant completely giving up on Lao Mouzi.
  　The child still has a fever. There are only two updates today.
