Chapter 529 Fixed Team Members
Actually, there is really nothing much to say about this press conference, compared to what Lu Ziqiao in "Love Apartment" often said, "Not enough money, actors not decided, no script yet."

Xingchen Film and Television Company is not short of money, but as for the production of the program, the actors have not been decided yet and there is no script yet.

The Running Man in another time and space can be called "Run, Huayi".

Because among the seven regular guests, Li Chen, Chen He, Yang Ying and Zheng Kai are all under Huayi, and even Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang have signed contracts with Huayi Company.

Since the show has become the Star version of "Running Man" in this time and space, it is naturally impossible to support Huayi's people anymore. Therefore, the only guest who can be confirmed at present is Deng Chao, and this is because the other party has left Huayi.

In fact, Gu Wei originally planned to let Han Dongjun go on stage directly, but because the other party took over Bo Na's new movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", he could not be a formal guest.

Gu Wei was indeed a little conflicted about the remaining candidates. After all, most of the artists under the company that he was more optimistic about were still focusing their energy on movies, and few of them had enough time.

After much deliberation, the company still contacted Chen He. After his debut with Zeng Xiaoxian in "Love Apartment", he was an actor in Shanghai Drama Center and joined Huayi at the end of 13. If he was directly snatched away, he would have nothing to do with Huayi.

After making the decision, before Gu Wei went abroad, he asked Song Ge to recruit Chen He. After a chat, Chen He strongly recommended Zheng Kai. Song Ge didn't think much about it and signed both of them to Shiba Culture Company through Wang Jinghua.

As for the artistes who want to sign a contract with Xingchen Film and Television Company, they have to be selected by Gu Wei himself.

In this way, these three regular guests, plus Tong Liya, have taken care of most of the work.

As for the remaining candidates, Gu Wei didn't have any good ideas in mind, so he let Song Ge arrange it himself.

After considering for a while, Song Ge made a decision to let Wan Qian, who had less time, serve as one of the remaining fixed team members. Qin Hao, Chen Minghao, Zhao Liying, Hu Ge, Han Dongjun and others would take turns to join the team in their spare time.

Let’s start with one season and see how it goes.

After all, this was ordered by the boss. In the final analysis, Song Ge was also responsible for grasping the overall situation. The specific matters were still jointly operated by Jiang Xueruo and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

The reason why I wanted to do the show "Running Man" in the first place was to really make money, secondly to promote several artists under my company, and thirdly to have an additional promotional channel for my own movies when they are released in the future.

Most of the variety shows and interviews before other movies are released are boring, but "Running Man" is relatively interesting.

The news that Xingchen Film and Television Company entered the variety show industry did not cause much sensation in the industry.

After all, variety shows had not yet reached their heyday in China at that time.

Although domestic variety shows have entered the "blockbuster era" after the launch of "The Voice of China", the "phenomenal era" only came into being after the launch of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", and this time and space was naturally opened by "Running Man"!

Although the fixed guests have been decided, it will take some time for the show to go on the air. After all, the early preparations and warm-up alone, including waiting for the schedules of the celebrity artists, take a long time.

After discussion between Xingchen Film and Television Company and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, they decided to start during the summer vacation.

Song Ge and Chen Guofu, who have temporarily finished their work, have set a time to fly to Bangkok in late March to visit the crew of "Wolf Warrior".

After all, Chen Guofu is also the producer of this movie, so the crew still has to go.

Today, Chen Guofu is the busiest person in Xingchen Film and Television Company. He is the assistant director and producer of several films.

...

mid March.

Xue Xiaolu's "Beijing Meets Seattle" began its movie premiere.

The premiere was held at the Dadi Cinemas, which is owned by Xingchen Film and Television Company.

The momentum was not huge, but the guests who came were very famous.

Some theater chains did not even wait for the later theater previews, but sent people or came in person first.

Some artists who had worked with him before came to show their support. Xue Xiaolu brought Tong Liya and Wu Xiubo to the scene to welcome the guests.

"Mr. Song, Sister Hua."

When Song Ge and Wang Jinghua arrived, Tong Liya came over to greet them first.

These two are her nobles.

Wu Xiubo also quickly greeted him.

Wang Jinghua looked at Wu Xiubo in surprise. After all, she was the one who recommended Huang Zhizhong from the company to play the leading actor, but she didn't expect to be rejected by Xue Xiaolu.

I have to say, judging from his appearance alone, Wu Xiubo, with his beard in the play, does have the unique charm of a middle-aged uncle.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Wang."

Xue Xiaolu saw it later and hurriedly came over and took the two of them inside.

Song Ge glanced at the audience who were still queuing up to enter the premiere. Most of them were girls, just like the movie "Love Is Not Blind" back then.

It seems that the propaganda department's positioning of this film is still to target females as the main consumer group.

But it seems that there are many more couples this time.

New Film Association, Jinyi, Hengdian and Wanda all sent people to watch the movie.

"After the movie is released, everyone needs to take good care of it and schedule more screenings."

Song Ge said with a smile, you should know that Gu Wei is not in the country, he is the person in charge of Xingchen Film and Television Company, and he is responsible for making decisions on all matters in the company.

"Haha, there will definitely be no problem, Mr. Song." said the representative of the New Film Association.

"Boss Song, even though Director Gu is not here, the screening rate of Xingchen Films' movies will definitely not be low. As long as this one is not bad, at least 20% of the screenings will be the minimum, and we will keep adjusting it up based on the situation, with no upper limit."

As Ye Ning spoke, several theater managers nearby also agreed.

Listening to a group of people's compliments, Song Ge suddenly had a feeling that his boss seemed to be doing pretty well in Hollywood. It seemed that the more noise Gu Wei made there, the more attention the major domestic theater chains would pay to him.

After chatting with several theater chain representatives for a while, Song Ge invited everyone to take a seat.

As an investor of "Beijing Meets Seattle", Song Ge naturally had to welcome those heavyweight guests.

As the interview ended and the guests and audience entered, the movie slowly began to show.

"BJ Meets Seattle" seems to be a light and warm story, but it contains serious themes. It does not directly criticize the "mistress" Wen Jiajia, but it criticizes the worship of money and money.

In the movie, Wen Jiajia went through the experience of "seeing the money but not the heart, seeing the package but not the person, and seeing the person but not the heart" on the road of love. Finally, she met the "right person" Frank in a foreign country, and her life turned around. Got on the right track.

Tong Liya plays a careless, harsh-mouthed, and eccentric character in the film. In contrast, Wu Xiubo's performance is restrained, introverted, and steady, forming a sharp contrast with Tong Liya's performance.

This is also the biggest feature of the film, a Hollywood-style romantic comedy with vivid characters and a compact plot.

Of course, the most important thing is that the lines are interesting and not artificial, the plot is carefully crafted, and the conflict in each scene is carefully created.

After the movie ended, everyone applauded and expressed their love for the movie.

"Oh, I missed it again."

After watching the movie, Han Sanping only regretted that he did not have the opportunity to invest in it. In his opinion, this movie is definitely not bad.

"Mr. Song, congratulations, the movie is good, it looks like it will be a big hit at the box office again."

Wang Changtian even congratulated him directly.

"Haha, it's because Director Gu has a good vision. I don't know much about these things." Song Ge said modestly.

"Haha, Director Gu's vision is impeccable."

Ye Ning complimented.

Afterwards, everyone moved to the banquet.

After three rounds of drinks, Han Sanping asked Cao Baoping about the investment in the movie, and the others also showed interest.

"Mr. Han, the investment is very small, just 30 million." Song Ge said faintly, meaning that the cost is too small, and if several companies really have to share it, it won't make much sense.

"thirty million!!!"

Ye Ning, Wang Changtian and others now have a conditioned reflex when they hear this number.

From "Love Is Not Blind" a few years ago, to the recently concluded "Lost in Thailand", plus "Beijing Meets Seattle" and this "The Sun Also Rises", the few of them suddenly had an idea.

Is Xingchen Film and Television Company destined to have 30 million?
How do you always succeed by making small bets for big gains?
But Gu Wei was not there, and Song Ge declined politely, so the others were too embarrassed to get involved.

"Mr. Song, please let me know in advance next time you have a movie. No matter how big or small the project is, China Film Group will still be able to give some support."

Han Sanping glanced at Song Ge with resentment, and the meaning of his words was very clear.

“Of course, director Wu Ershan has just finished his work, so I think we can prepare for Painted Skin 3 in advance.

I think we should do something big this time, and we can all work together, because the domestic market is getting better and better now." Song Ge's scalp was tingling when he was looked at by the other party, and he waved his hand and talked about this movie.

Hearing this, several people's eyes lit up. Big productions are good, because only big productions can invest more.

"Okay, then it's settled. Since Director Gu is not here, this matter will all depend on President Song."

Wang Changtian spoke first, fearing that he would not get a share.

Hearing this, Han Sanping looked at the other party with some dissatisfaction. Perhaps he felt uncomfortable being stared at by the big boss. Wang Changtian brought up the incident between Huayi and Zhou Xingchi to divert attention.

"This time Huayi is determined to get rid of the 8000 million. According to the information I have learned, Zhou Xingchi has no chance. Not to mention a formal contract, there is not even an email or chat to prove it.

This time, he can only admit defeat. "

It would have been better if Wang Changtian didn't say anything, but when he talked about this, Han Sanping instantly became unhappy.

You should know that when Zhou Xingchi and the Xiang family of Hong Kong Island had a conflict, China Film Group supported the former. But now Huayi directly embezzled such a large sum of money from Zhou Xingchi for the sake of profit. It would be embarrassing for China Film Group if this were to be made public.

"I think these two brothers have reached the end of their rope. They want to make money in every way they can. Sooner or later, something bad will happen." Han Sanping said bitterly.

"Boss Han is right. Zhou is a well-known director in the industry. Not to mention that the money should have belonged to him. Even if there is no agreement, if the movie sells well at the box office, what's wrong with giving him a few tens of millions more?"

Ye Ning was also a little depressed about this. Huayi was in such a state, but it was still able to cooperate with big directors in the circle. Poor Wanda, with its wealth and power, could not invite a few well-known directors to join.

"After this incident, I think Zhou Xingchi and Huayi will definitely part ways, and they will never accept each other's investment in the future." Song Ge said casually.

These words made everyone present feel moved. Yes, this is a good thing.

Without Huayi, wouldn’t my chance come?
For a moment, no one was in the mood to talk about anything else, as their thoughts had already landed on Zhou Xingchi.
