During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 685: Domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, buttocks that stick out to the sky

"Wow, Chen Sicheng is really good at playing tricks. He has one dragon and two phoenixes."

In the small conference room of Shanhe Media, Wei Jin was browsing the news online, marveling at it.

I have to say that Fengxing Studio is really amazing. If they don’t make a move, it’s fine. But when they do, they’re all big sellers!

Just this morning, Fengxing released explosive news, revealing photos of Chen Sicheng having dinner with two girls and returning to the hotel together.

Judging from the specific content of the report, the three of them hooked up during the Beijing International Film Festival, and it seems that Fengxing had been eyeing them at that time.

After nearly three months, Feng Xing finally got solid evidence, which shows that he is indeed very dedicated.

At this moment, after a night of fermentation, public opinion on the Internet has risen up, with overwhelming curses!
Because Chen Sicheng's behavior is considered extramarital affair, he and Tong Yaya only officially announced their marriage in March.

Many netizens sympathized with Tong Yaya. She was newly married and on the set, but she was cuckolded.

To be honest, Wei Jin had no idea what Chen Sicheng's taste was.

Wei Jin had also seen Zhang Xuan who was exposed. She was a student of the Acting Department of Beijing Film Academy in 05 and a classmate of Yang Mi. She looked much worse than Tong Yaya.

Could it be that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers?
"By the way, Mr. Ye, why don't you respond to Wanda?"

As soon as Wei Jin said this, Ren Zhonglun and Wang Changtian in the conference room both looked at Ye Ning.

Today they came here to discuss the cooperation on "Yunnan Worm Valley", and they didn't expect to see a good show directed by Wanda.

You know, after "Beijing Love Story" became a huge hit, both Shanghai Film Group and Fiber Optic had contact with Chen Sicheng.

Although there is suspicion of poaching from allies, this is also very common in the entertainment industry, and contracted directors are not prohibited from cooperating with outsiders.

Unfortunately, Wanda Dog’s wealthy owner was very rich and the conditions he offered were too generous, so he couldn’t compete at all.

"Boss Wei, this is just a private matter. The other party hasn't responded yet. How can Wanda interfere?"

Ye Ning's face was extremely calm. As the director behind the scenes, no matter how much Chen Sicheng spent, it would not have much impact.

As for the online "crusade", it will naturally lose its heat after a while. After all, the Internet has no memory.

However, Ye Ning was obviously unwilling to talk more about this topic. He glanced at his wrist and asked, "Why hasn't Director La arrived yet? It's been ten minutes already."

"I don't know. I'm afraid there was something urgent going on at China Film Group Corporation that delayed them." Wei Jin replied.

This time, Wei Jin did not intend to eat alone in "Yunnan Worm Valley".

Firstly, the project investment is not small, and it is an independent adaptation project with no memory support at all, so Wei Jin also needs to diversify risks.

Secondly, "Seattle 2" and "Bad Genius" which started filming during this period have already taken the cake, so we still have to consider the feelings of our partners.

However, on the phone, Wei Jin also agreed with several companies that the cooperation on "Yunnan Worm Valley" only involved a single project and had no necessary connection with subsequent development.

"dong dong dong~~"

As the knock on the door sounded, La Peikang quickly walked in with an apologetic look on his face: "Sorry, everyone, someone pestered me before I left."

"Oh? Who dares to bother you, Mr. Dong?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Ren Zhonglun's words, but Wei Jin had some guesses in his mind.

Sure enough, the next moment, La Peikang complained with some disdain: "Who else could it be? Those people who rely on the support funds to survive."

It turned out that just when La Peikang was about to go out, five or six old guys brought Lu Chuan and blocked his office.

The purpose, of course, is to apply for special funds, and it is for Lu Chuan.

There is no way. Although Lu Chuan has won several awards at international film festivals, his films "Nanjing" and "The Banquet" have successively failed the three production companies, Orange Sky, Star Media, and Yinghuang. Anyone with a sound mind in the industry will not invest in him again.

From what La Peikang said, it seems that Lu Tailang has made a realistic script this time and asked for 10 million in support funds.

"Did Mr. La agree?"

While the secretary was pouring tea, Wei Jin asked curiously.

"How is that possible? The total budget is 10 million, and all of it needs support funds. How can such a good thing happen?"

La Peikang was obviously very angry and said in an unhappy tone, "It's really annoying. Sometimes I admire Mr. Han."

"Hehehe"

There was a laugh in the conference room, and it was obvious that everyone understood.

When Han Sanping was in power, he would never bother with those old guys.

With the annual support funds, we will first cut 30%, and the rest will depend on whether the old guys are obedient. If they are not, we will cut it by half again.

Sometimes they don't even give a penny, and use it all to support new projects. Even if they lose money, they are discovering talents for domestic films, which is better than giving it to these people.

But this kind of thing is ultimately against the rules, and only Han Sanping can do it. La Peikang can't do it.

"Forget it, let's get down to business. Wei Jin?"

"Okay, everyone, take a look at the information first."

As Wei Jin was talking, Chen Xi and Bao Tianqi had already handed over the budget materials they had prepared in advance to the four big guys on the scene.

"2.2 billion?"

"Is that enough?" Ye Ning asked.

"That's about right. If it's not enough, we'll talk about it later."

"Then why not just get 2.5 million, it will be easier to settle the accounts."

Hearing this, Wei Jin glanced at La Peikang. Wow, the style of the chairman of China Film Group is indeed the same.

However, this kind of thing is only beneficial to Shanhe Media, so Wei Jin naturally has no objection and just looks at the other three.

"Shangying has no objection."

"Same with Wanda."

“Same with fiber optics.”

Seeing that no one had any objection, Wei Jin sat up straight.

"Okay, let's talk about the distribution of shares in detail."

In the next half hour, after Shanhe Media took the lead in taking 40% of the shares, the four companies started a tug-of-war.

After all, the performance of "Mojin: The Last Dragon" is so impressive that even if the director of the sequel has changed, it is definitely a high-quality project and worth fighting for!

Especially La Peikang, who has joined Shanghai Film Group for three consecutive projects of Shanhe Media, which has made him feel a sense of crisis.

As for this share, La Peikang was not willing to give in and asked for 30%.

"Mr. La, aren't you being too overbearing? You want the remaining 30% to be divided among the three of us?" Ren Zhonglun responded bluntly. Before, when "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" was being filmed, Shanghai Film Group had just joined the team and didn't dare to speak too loudly.

But now, a fixed cooperation model has basically been formed, and we cannot allow China Film to continue to dominate.

Otherwise, those production companies in Beijing would think that Ren Zhonglun was La Peikang's younger brother!

"That's right. Mr. La, I'm not saying anything wrong, but the China Film Group didn't promote the previous projects well enough, and the film scheduling wasn't good enough to protect the shortcomings. It's better to be fair."

With Ren Zhonglun taking the lead, Wang Changtian also followed suit and even vented some of his dissatisfaction.

"I think it makes sense."

When Ye Ning said this, it was obvious that the three parties had united, after all, it was a matter of vital interests.

If Han Sanping were around in the past, Wei Jin would have just tried to smooth things over and accepted the dispute over market share.

But La Peikang's words clearly showed no such kindness, so he said, "Mr. La, China Film has a lot of projects this year, so let's take a step back and be fair to everyone."

After this was said, La Peikang didn't want to offend the public, so he could only agree with it.

The final distribution plan was that Shanhe Media invested 9000 million yuan, accounting for 40%, and the other four companies each invested 4000 million yuan, accounting for 15%.

This plan basically has no premium and takes all aspects into consideration.

"The specific start time is roughly in late August, and Chen Xi will serve as the producer at that time."

Wei Jin gave a rough time for the shooting, but he was not responsible for anything else afterwards.

The situation of the "secret meeting scandal" continued to ferment, and the famous young director Chen Sicheng simply chose to play dead in order to minimize the impact of the incident.

Instead, it was Tong Yaya, the person who was cheated on, who responded to the revelations on the set.

She was confident that she had the skills to control her husband and firmly believed that Chen Sicheng was a good man.

As for the other person who was exposed, Zhang Xuan, she also came out to deny the matter.

For a while, there were many different opinions on the Internet and in the circle, but soon no one paid attention to this matter anymore.

Because the five major producers who signed the agreement announced the project information as soon as possible!

"Ghost Blows Out the Light: Yunnan Worm Valley", a 3D fantasy blockbuster with a total investment of 2.5 million yuan;
Director: Zhang Yimou; Screenwriter: Wei Jin & Shanhe Media Screenwriting Department;
Main characters: Pan Yueming, Liu Yifei.
Remaining roles: TBD;
Producers: Shanhe Media, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Wanda Pictures, Fiber Optic Pictures. ”

When the news came out, some were happy while others were sad.

President Deng of Xiying is relatively good. A 2.5 million investment project, even if it is only a % investment share, is not a small amount for Xiying. It is better to cooperate with the online drama to stabilize the basics first and turn losses into profits first.

The saddest person was boss Ying Huangyang. He called Wei Jin as soon as possible, but ultimately failed to get on this train.

But looking at these producers, he had to admit that they did have more advantages than Yinghuang in terms of publicity and theater scheduling.

Boss Yang has decided that he will personally go to Beijing for the premiere of "Cold War 2" and have a good chat with Wei Jin about the upcoming collaboration.

In comparison, the celebrities in the circle are much happier.

As long as there is no internal appointment, there is still a chance, especially since Shanhe Media has so many projects recently, there is a high probability that they will hold external auditions.

At this moment, many actors could no longer hold back and began to show off their talents.

But these have nothing to do with the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the one who should be worried is Zhang Yimou.

Amidst all the hustle and bustle, it was already mid-July.

In the movie market, "Transformers 4" is selling like hotcakes!

In just two weeks, it earned a super high box office of 15.38 billion yuan, and the daily box office performance is still very strong, maintaining a high level of to million yuan.

At this time, the two Hollywood blockbusters in June, "Godzilla" and "Maleficent", had been pressed hard and had to be withdrawn from theaters.

"Godzilla" performed relatively well, reaping the benefits for two weeks and ultimately closing in on $6.38 million.

The achievement of over 1 million US dollars definitely proves Fan Bingbing's appeal in China. Legendary Pictures is very glad for this choice.

However, the performance of "Maleficent" was a bit miserable. In the end, the box office barely passed the 3 million mark, closing at 3.06 million.

On the contrary, "The Breakup Guru", which had a slightly worse reputation, actually withstood the pressure and surpassed the 5.23 million mark in box office revenue in two weeks, closing at million.

As for other domestic films, without exception, they were all crushed!

There was a sigh in the industry, and everyone was lamenting that a Hollywood science fiction film had so easily crushed the entire schedule.

Even its box office is higher than the total box office of all other movies combined. It's really terrifying!
However, compared to the film market, where domestic films are suffering, the TV drama market is truly a prosperous scene.

Following "Day and Night", Huanrui's "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has indeed become another hit fantasy drama after "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" as expected by the industry when filming started.

The drama was broadcast on the Diamond Theater of Mango TV. The premiere ratings reached 1.72 and the audience share was 11.38%, ranking first in the country in the same period.

And for a week in a row, the ratings and audience share have been increasing slightly. I believe it is just around the corner to break 2.

In addition, the TV series also performed very well on video websites, with over 70 million views on the first day, setting a new record for the number of online views for the first broadcast of a fantasy drama.

In just one week, the peak daily broadcast volume has exceeded 100 million.

But unfortunately, Tudou is not the exclusive broadcasting platform this time and can only share this wave of traffic with Mango TV.

There is no way. Mango TV is too domineering. When purchasing the film, they directly signed a bundling agreement, and the price for the online broadcasting rights is quite low.

If it was a TV series produced by Shanhe Media, Mango TV would not dare to make such a request. But for Huanrui, they had no choice but to give in.

After all, as the TV station that sits firmly in the top spot under CCTV and is supported by a large number of Korean culture and entertainment programs, Mango TV has a huge market influence in the field of television stations. Huanrui, which has such small arms and legs, cannot afford to offend it.

But without mentioning the tyranny of Mango TV, just speaking from the level of popularity, the drama "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is not inferior to the original "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

Especially with the help of the Internet, related discussions and exposure are even more intense, and the topic is unprecedentedly hot.

As the leading male actor, Li Yifeng benefited greatly from this wave of traffic. He became an instant hit overnight, with his Baidu search index increasing fourfold and his Weibo index increasing to nearly 4 million.

On the contrary, the leading female character, Yang Mi, was the one being dragged along to carry the sedan chair, and did not receive much support, save for a few more trending searches.

In comparison, Rouba, the second female lead, has emerged as a rising star.

Although her character has only been online for a few episodes, she has attracted the favor of countless fans with her cute appearance and innocent personality in the series.

In just a few days, his Weibo fans surged by more than two million again, and the total number has exceeded 10 million, even higher than some veteran first-line actors.

It can be predicted that after several rounds of broadcasting of this drama are completed, Reba will even be expected to enter the ranks of quasi-first-line actresses.

As the saying goes, one should never forget the person who dug the well when drinking water. Rouba clearly remembers who gave her the resources in the first place.

At this moment, she took advantage of the time of promotion in the capital to repay her benefactor.
