During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 176 Headquarters Building and "Tongtian Empire"

Looking at the building in front of him, Wei Jin was very satisfied. Chen Zhiming still had a good taste.

Jialong International Center is located near Chaoyang Park in Chaoyang District, with a strategic location.

Just completed at the end of December last year, the building covers an area of ​​nearly 12 square meters, with a total construction area of ​​more than 6000 square meters, including 55000 square meters of office building area.

The total number of building floors is 22 above ground, 3 underground, and the total height is 88 meters.

The contact started after the Spring Festival last year. The asking price was very high at that time. Wei Jin knew that the house price would fall back, so he kept putting it off, just urging the other party to speed up the completion of the project.

In the second half of last year, housing prices in Beijing plummeted by 20%. Developers couldn't bear it any longer. They searched for Wei Jin's company many times, hoping to close the deal as soon as possible so as to collect funds. However, in terms of price, Wei Jin was still not satisfied.

Until last month, the other party finally couldn't stand it anymore and reached a deal at a 5% discount based on the current market price.

The overall price is as high as 5 million. Naturally, Wei Jin will not allocate working capital and directly take out bank loans. The interest rate is so low, why not use it.

Companies have been moving here one after another. There are hundreds or thousands of people in the company, and relocation is not an easy task.

In Wei and Jin, offices were held directly on the top floor, and basically every department was assigned a whole floor.

Even so, the entire building seemed very empty, and Wei Jin was not in a hurry. The company's construction had to be done step by step.

Subsequent investment companies, Shanhe Games, Impression.com and other subsidiaries will also move here.

This year's Oscars officially came to an end a few days ago. The Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men" is undoubtedly the biggest winner at this year's Oscars, taking home awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay. of four awards.

In addition, the action film "The Bourne Supremacy" starring Matt Monda actually won three awards for Best Editing, Best Sound Effects, and Best Sound Effects Editing, which attracted a lot of criticism.

In the luxurious office, Wu Ershan was sitting on the sofa, his generous back straight, as if waiting for the leader's instructions.

Quietly looking through the storyboard script in his hand, and comparing it with the pictures in his mind from time to time, Wei Jin nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to be so efficient."

"Hey, as long as Mr. Wei is satisfied, that's fine."

Wu Ershan smiled honestly when he heard this. His previous anxiety was gone. He finally had the opportunity to direct a big-budget movie.

"Let Chen Xi be your producer this time. I'll be the supervisor. You can do the preliminary preparations first."

"Okay, Mr. Wei, I'll go out first."

With a smile on his face, Wu Ershan was filled with excitement. As soon as he walked out, he saw a great god.

"Director Xu, are you also looking for Mr. Wei?"

Facing Mr. Xu, Wu Ershan's attitude was very respectful. The former was much higher than the fledgling him in terms of qualifications and achievements.

"Well, we made an appointment before. Is Mr. Wei still busy now?"

The news that Wu Ershan is about to direct "Painted Skin 2" is no secret within the company. I don't know how many people lamented his good luck, and Mr. Xu is no exception. This is the support of noble people.

"When I first came out, there wasn't one. I should have been waiting for you."

"Okay, I'll go first, see you later."

Old Monster Xu stopped being polite and walked into Wei Jin's office with his briefcase.
-

"Director Xu, the script is not bad, but the logic could be more rigorous, and there are still some loopholes in the reasoning."

After reading "Tongtian Empire" in his hand, Wei Jin raised his eyes and looked at Old Monster Xu:

"Also, have you made a detailed investment budget?"

"It's been done, and the investment will be about 1 million."

Mr. Xu speaks with an accent and is a little nervous. His previous works have all been losses, and investors no longer believe in him.

This script comes from a serial novel by an online writer. Wei Jin Company has obtained the copyright, and Mr. Xu is responsible for coming up with ideas and cooperating with the screenwriting center to perfect the script. Although Mr. Xu has joined the company, he can also take on some external movies. At this time, he has just finished filming a women's drama "Women Are Not Bad", starring three recently popular actresses: Zhou Xun, Gui Lunmei, and Zhang Yuqi joins the cast.

However, this was the investor's request, and the film was not what he wanted. He still prefers films such as ancient costumes, martial arts, and fairy tales.

"The investment is too big. Under the current situation, the pressure to repay the capital is a bit high."

Hearing this number, Wei Jin frowned. It was an investment of 100 million at every turn. How did you budget?

"Compress the cost and control it within 80 million. Besides, you also know the company's rules."

Wei Jin didn't finish what he said, but Old Monster Xu already understood that he was required to invest 20% himself. Thinking of this, he actually felt that the budget seemed to be too high.

Wei Jin's trick is really effective against many directors who are used to using investors' money to make their own films. At least Mr. Xu doesn't dare to risk more than 10 million. You must know that this guy has many criminal records. , investing more at every turn, playing big scenes, and is known as a special effects maniac.

"Mr. Wei, I will make more detailed plans and communicate with you in a few days."
-

After Old Monster Xu left, Wei Jin began to organize his thoughts.

It's March, and the company's projects have started one after another.

"October Siege" has completed its preliminary preparations and will be launched in Xiangjiang City in the Magic City in the near future.

In terms of TV series, "Snow Leopard" has already begun to be launched, and the copyright of the original novel "Special Warfare Pioneer" has long been obtained. This can be regarded as an ancient novel on the theme of the Anti-Japanese War.

In addition, the script of the TV series "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has also been completed, and the project can be approved only after it is approved. Wei Jin plans to film the TV series first, which can also be regarded as a warm-up for the movie in the next two years.

"Crazy Racing" has also entered the promotion stage. Ning Hao's reputation is still good, and many people online are already looking forward to it.

"Li Mi's Conjecture" is scheduled to be released on June 6. If we wait any longer, the competition will become more intense. Anyway, we have almost recovered our money, so there is no need to be demanding.

"The Voice" has also begun preparations. Several TV stations have expressed their intention to cooperate, and are currently still negotiating the specific share.

The filming of "Ip Man 2" has also been completed and is in the later stages of production. Ying Huang means to schedule it for the National Day, and Wei Jin also thinks it is suitable.

Over in South Korea, the branch has already made preparations. Wei Jin has given out several scripts. In his previous life, he watched Korean movies a lot. The scale is really too big and the viewing experience is excellent. However, for the sake of safety, the first step is to What started was "20 Again".

Seeing that various tasks are progressing steadily, Wei Jin plans to take a vacation for himself and start new projects in the second half of the year.

In addition, Wei Jin did not hold all of Huayi's stocks for no other reason than that the number was too large and had exceeded the red line, which was not conducive to subsequent sales.

In the end, the subscription list given to Huayi by the Wei and Jin Dynasties was Zeng Li's 1000 million shares, Gao Yuanyuan's 1000 million shares, Jing Tian's 1000 million shares, Liu Yifei's 1000 million shares, and himself 1000 million shares.

Not only can he hold the shares firmly in his hands, which will form a check on Huayi, but he can also leave at any time. In addition, it can be regarded as a little pocket money for a few women.
-

The launch of the promotion of "Crazy Racing" also attracted the attention of "The King of Kung Fu", and action followed closely.

Huayi and Li Lianlian's "One Fund" announced that starting from "The King of Kung Fu", part of the proceeds from the films it invests in the future will be donated to charity.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, the publicity effect is achieved anyway.

What surprised Wei Jin was that Gu Changwei's "The Beginning of Spring" and Wang Xiaoshuai's "Left and Right" were also placed in this schedule. I don't know what they planned. Maybe they are self-aware that box office is not considered for this kind of award-winning films.

In addition, Teacher Chen's new movie "The Gunslinger" also failed to pass the review, but no guidance was given. The investor Media Asia was very dissatisfied and directly accused the media of "killing without teaching".

Wei Jin is not surprised by this. That's how those old antiques do things. If you don't get involved in the relationship for reasons that don't pass, they will never tell you directly, as if this can demonstrate their rights.

On the other side, some media broke the news that Wang Jinhua had submitted her resignation to Chengtian and the two parties were handing over business.

The reporters couldn't find Wang Jinhua and had no choice but to interview Cheng Tian, ​​who vaguely expressed ignorance.

In fact, the industry is not surprised by this. As early as before, Chengtian established a new brokerage company outside of Wang Jinhua's company. Wu Kebo's thoughts are clearly revealed.

It was understandable that Wang Jinhua didn't want to continue wasting time, but Wei Jin knew that such a pure agency would become less competitive the further it went, and when the actors' salaries came up, no one would be willing to stay.
