During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 314 Surprise for artists trading at sky-high prices
Perhaps it was the first project he was responsible for after joining the company. Jiang Xueyuan attached great importance to watching the films of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of the Snow", and invited Wei Jin to come over.

You know, Wei Jin has not attended a TV drama viewing party for several years.

For this movie screening, Sunward Media organized the film purchasing departments of more than a dozen TV stations with purchasing power to watch the movie.

These include domestic first-tier TV stations such as Mango Channel, Modu Channel, Beijing Channel, Jiangsu Province Channel, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Channel, and Huizhou Channel.

Director Zheng Xiaolong, who was also at the film viewing party, felt quite emotional when he saw the film purchasing directors of more than a dozen TV stations greeting Wei Jin with smiles on their faces.

Having been involved in the TV drama industry for decades, Zheng Xiaolong can be regarded as a living fossil in the industry.

Zheng Xiaolong has directed many works in recent years and participated in many TV dramas. He is very aware of the irritability of these domestic TV stations.

Being able to attract so many TV stations to watch the film together, and to be able to make these film purchase directors relax, smile, and even have a somewhat flattering attitude, this already illustrates Sunward Media's transcendent status in the field of TV dramas.

But it's no wonder when you think about it. Although there are not many works produced by Shanhe Media in recent years, all of them are hits, and they are naturally sought after by TV stations.

Jiang Xueyuan on the side saw this battle, and a strong sense of pride and belonging emerged in his heart. You must know that when Zhou Yi was selling dramas, he really begged his grandfather and grandma everywhere.

"Okay, when the script comes out, you can contact me yourself."
-
In early April, new optical fiber projects were announced.

In the office, Lu Yang said with some regret.

You know, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has 76 episodes, and "Swordsman in the Snow" has 40 episodes. Counting these two TV series together, they sold nearly million in the first round.

But beneath the bustling flowers, there is an extremely cruel reality.

"By the way, this film doesn't have any special effects or big scenes. It mainly depends on the cast. Do you have any ideas about the characters?"

In this case, the TV station, as the buyer, is naturally in an absolutely strong position.

"It's a pity that he only agreed to make a cameo. Otherwise, if he starred in a real person and his true character, the box office of the movie would have exploded."

“Shanhe Media deserves its reputation”

"Okay, bring it over and I'll take a look at it then."

"When will the scriptwriting department finish the script?"

"too crazy."

"Hey, I'm just sighing." Lu Yang scratched his head.

"Director Zheng."

Not only were the film purchase directors of other TV stations present here shocked, but even Jiang Xueyuan and Zheng Xiaolong felt it was a bit unreal.

"Well, I have discussed this issue with the screenwriting department. If I don't play the role, we would like to ask Liu Tianwang to play my husband and Sun Honglei to play the kidnapper Hua Zi."

Jiang Xueyuan intuitively felt the power of Sunward Media for the first time, and Zheng Xiaolong on the side also sighed.

Although Wei Jin has this drama in his mind, he can't rush into writing the script before the adaptation rights are negotiated. Now that the dust has settled, he can give some direction guidance to the screenwriting department.

But it's not impossible to replace him with Sun Honglei. With his looks, he can actually play the role of a robber.

Wei Jin complained angrily that this guy just wanted to look at Shu and was greedy.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a popular Qing palace costume drama produced by Shanhe Media and directed by Zheng Xiaolong.

With the golden brand that Shanhe Media has erected over the years, and the industry status that Zheng Xiaolong has established over the past few decades, the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is equivalent to a strong alliance, and it should not be too attractive to TV stations.

"Swordsman in the Snow" was not far behind, and was jointly won by Huizhou Satellite TV and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, with a single episode price as high as 220 million.

Wei Jin is not worried about the sales of these two dramas.

"The story itself is not complicated, and the information is easy to collect. The adaptation has been prepared before, and the screenwriting department expects to complete it within three days."

Only these TV stations with deep pockets and a budget of 10 billion yuan a year for purchasing dramas can afford it.

Film purchase directors of some TV stations often ask for help from the crew. What's more, they directly ask relatives to name the crew as producers, supervisors, etc., without participating in any work of the crew, and receive high remuneration for their labor.

There are many TV dramas, but the broadcasting capacity of domestic TV stations is limited. The TV drama market as a whole is oversupplied.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" was jointly won by Magic TV, Mango TV, and Suzhou TV. The price of a single episode soared from 160 million to 260 million.

There is nothing we can do about it. Since 2005, the domestic film and television industry has developed rapidly. According to statistics, thousands of TV series are produced every year.

Wei Jin nodded when he heard this. The original version starred Liu Tianwang, and the robber was Wang Qianyuan.

Wei Jin nodded. Since he had the screenwriting department, many things have become much easier for him.

Looking at the faces of all the beings at the scene, Wei Jin smiled and said nothing, hiding his merit and fame.
-
Wei Jin did not expect that Lu Yang was so efficient. He negotiated the adaptation rights with the parties in more than half a month.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xueyuan felt more and more that it was really wise to join Shanhe Media. From now on, he would never have to look at the faces of these TV stations again.

As for "Swordsman in the Snow", this is the first work of Wei Jin's debut. It also has Qiao Zhenyu, a popular young actor in Asia, and Yang Mi, a popular four-letter actress, joining the cast. The ratings are also guaranteed.

"Mr. Wei."

Basically, no one can beat this price in the past two years, and with such a sky-high price, other TV stations really cannot compete.

Sure enough, as Wei Jin expected, after most of the day of watching movies, the first-round broadcast rights of the two dramas were finally settled.

"You kid, just be content. This is all my psychological shadow. It would be great if we can negotiate the adaptation rights and make a guest appearance."

It can be said that these two dramas have been stared at by countless people inside and outside the industry since they were established, and they have no worries about selling them.

After some pleasantries, Wei Jin saw that almost everyone in the conference room had arrived, nodded to Jiang Xueyuan, and the film viewing party officially began.

Wei Jin saw Zheng Xiaolong and said hello. This person has been in the TV drama industry for decades. He has a high status in the world and deserves respect.

"Following "The Painted Wall", Fiber Optic Media will launch a new film project again, still directed by director Chen Jiashang"

"The movie "The Four Famous Catchers" has an investment of 90 million, and the special effects shots are handled by Shanhe Ink. Casting is currently underway."

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of actors. After all, it is a costume martial arts movie worth nearly 100 million yuan. It is a high-quality resource in the industry anyway.

What's more, the artists under Fiber Optic are not well-known and cannot hold up the banner, so most of them will have to be cast externally.

All of a sudden, artists from Hong Kong and Mainland China started to take action. Those from Xiangjiang naturally found a director team, while those from Mainland China connected with fiber optics. It was really lively.

After seeing this news, Wei Jin remembered that the two characters sent by Fiber Optic had not yet been selected.

After thinking for a while, Wei Jin picked up the phone and pressed the internal line.

"Inform Zhang Xu to come see me."
-
Capital, Dongshan Villa.

After a moment of affection, Jingtian curled up in Wei Jin's arms, greedily breathing the man's body odor like a cat.

After a long while, Jing Tian looked up at Wei Jin and asked:
"Brother, when will you join the team?" She doesn't have much idea about the "Gravity" project. After all, the heroine is a mother who has had children. First of all, the age is not suitable. In addition, this film almost has There was no physical performance, so the difficulty was still too great for her.

"In another week or so."

Playing with Jingtian's hips, Wei Jin replied absentmindedly.

News has come from Chen Zhiming that the scene at the digital base has been completed, the light boxes have been installed in place, and the conditions for starting are fully met.

What needs to wait now is the actor's posture training in a weightless state and the puppet show team's action drills.

"Tiantian, what about you? What are your recent plans?"

"You have nothing to do, you won't arrange a movie for me, and you can't agree with the scripts I receive, so just let me become the most popular little actress in the entertainment industry."

Thinking of her business situation, the little girl's seductive little mouth almost opened to the sky.

Wei Jin smiled when he heard this. Unlike Liu Yifei's salty personality, Jing Tian yearned for the entertainment industry. She liked the feeling of standing in the spotlight.

But the little girl is very measured. She almost never asks for anything unless she mentions it, which makes Wei Jin feel pity.

After gently taking a sip on the girl's pouted mouth, Wei Jin pulled out several scripts as if by magic.

"Tiantian, look what this is?"

"Yeah, so many?"

The little girl took the script with some surprise and couldn't wait to read it one by one.

After a while, a look of confusion appeared on Jing Tian's pretty face. She liked every script, but thinking about the day she and Wei Jin walked on campus, the little girl made a decision.

"Brother, this is it."

When Wei Jin heard this, he looked up and smiled, knowing that the little girl would probably choose this one.

"Okay, but I will be very busy for the next period of time. I estimate that I won't be able to start this project until after the National Day."

"It's okay, brother, I just took advantage of the opportunity to understand the script and interpret the characters."

Listening to the little girl's considerate words, Wei Jin hugged her and sat on his belly.

"Well, this role is quite different from yours, and it has a long growth arc, so you need to be more prepared."

Holding the little girl's elastic buttocks with both hands, it felt great. Wei Jin looked at the girl's eyes as if there was a ball of fire burning, and Fuguihua became more and more mature.

"Tiantian, you have chosen your favorite script, what are you going to pay for it now?"

The girl blushed and took the initiative to take out the eye mask from the drawer and put it on the man, instantly entering the role.

"Xiao Jin, you are disobedient. My sister will educate you tonight."
-
The crew of "Hello Old Days".

Just after finishing a scene, Bai Bin was about to drink some water when he saw his personal assistant running over.

"Sister Bin, Director Zhang just called. You are the female lead in "Four Famous Catchers". Mr. Wei has appointed you."

When the assistant spoke, the joy on his face could not be concealed. It was a large-scale production worth nearly 100 million, and his artist must have received too much attention.

The conversation between the two was not quiet, and the rest of the crew naturally heard it, and looked at Bai Bin with envy in their eyes.

Even though they are artists in the same company, Bai Bin is treated like this. No one else is really treated like this. The female lead in the TV series has not been completed yet, and the female lead in the movie has been fed to her mouth again. This path is too smooth. .

"Did you say when the filming will start? The filming of "Hello" will probably not be completed until about half a month."

Bai Bin felt sweet in her heart for her boss's love, but she was still worried about the schedule, but her worries were obviously unnecessary.

"No problem. Director Zhang specifically asked about the schedule. Team training there will not start until the end of April, and production will start at the end of May."

Speaking of this, the assistant's face showed a smile. The more her artists were taken seriously, the more she would follow the trend.

"Sister Bin, Mr. Wei is so kind to you."

Bai Bin was about to say something when he saw other members of the crew coming over to congratulate him.

"Sister Bin, congratulations."

It's funny, Bai Bin is often the youngest in Wei Jin's bed, but in this crew she is actually the oldest.

Bai Bin, who was in a good mood, showed his eldest sister's style and waved his hand in a bold expression.

"Thank you all, I'll treat you all to a big dinner tonight."

"Then we're going to be rich, haha."
-
In the Magic City Drama Club, a rehearsal has just ended.

While Wan Qian was packing her clothes, she extended an invitation to the two people beside her.

"Big Tou, Ah Fei, let's have a game later?"

Wan Qian is a long-time game fan. If she doesn't play two games of "Cross Fire" every day, she always feels uncomfortable.

"Okay, just wait for Sister Qian to take us off, haha"

Wan Qian, Guo Jinfei, and Lei Datou all have a background in theater, and they often rehearse at the Shanghai Theater in Shanghai. They are already very familiar with each other, and they often play games together.

"Okay, I'll cover you, the same place?"

"Forget it, I almost got mobbed last time I went there, let's go somewhere else."

While the three of them were chatting and laughing, they packed their things and were about to leave when Wan Qian's cell phone rang. As soon as the call was connected, the assistant on the other end of the phone couldn't wait to say:
"Sister Qian, it's a good thing, a great thing."

Wan Qian held the phone slightly away from her ear because the assistant's voice was too loud.

"Xiaoru, please slow down, please explain clearly what happened."

"I'm sorry, Sister Qian, I just received a notice from Director Zhang that you are the second female lead in "Four Famous Catchers", and you are appointed by Mr. Wei."

"Huh? The fiber optic film "Four Famous Catchers"? The second female lead? Me?"

"Yes, it was appointed by Mr. Wei. The specific situation is this."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qian was still a little confused. The second female lead in a martial arts blockbuster worth 9000 million yuan was just given to her?
Mr. Wei, is this too good for yourself? Does he really have any ideas? Do you want to follow it yourself?

"Sister Qian, congratulations, the two games are over tonight, we have to treat you to a midnight snack."

The cheers from Lei Datou and Guo Jinfei interrupted Wan Qian's thoughts, and then she stopped thinking about those messy things and replied boldly:
"No problem, just order beer and barbecue, haha."
