Chapter 669: Zhou Xingxing’s request for something
The students come and go on the Beijing Film Academy campus.
The third art exam in the Performance Department has just ended, and the results will be announced on March 15.
In this year's art exam, more than 23,000 people applied for the Central Academy of Drama, while more than 26,000 people applied for the Beijing Film Academy.
This is the third consecutive year that Beijing Film Academy has applied for more than the Central Academy of Drama.
But the art candidates at Beijing Film Academy complained because the examinees of the art exam did not see the person they wanted to see the most.
Last year's art exam candidate Jiang Peiyao became famous overnight because he was signed by Rongchen Pictures.
This is simply the shortcut for Zhongnan that every candidate who wants to become famous has always dreamed of.
Many candidates even carefully studied all the trajectories of Li Chen since his debut, and were even prepared to answer hot questions.
Jiang Peiyao, who was in the 2012 class, successfully stood out from many art candidates because of his unique answer to the question of "Border Printing Beats People".
Since 2005, Rongchen Pictures has become the "first choice" of art candidates in the three major universities. Look at Zhou Xun, Tang Yan, Yang Mi, and Deng Chao, who came out of Rongchen Pictures, are not really big names or front-line celebrities.
After setting up my own studio, it is still booming.
Zhou Xun went international and starred in "Cloud Map", and was also the only Venetian Best Actress in the Mainland.
The "X Female Agent" starring Tang Yan will be premiered simultaneously on the four major satellite TV stations by the end of this month.
Yang Mi is as popular as purple, and the number of Weibo fans is amazing. Not only was a studio established, but a media company was also established.
There are also girls like Dilraba and Zhang Hanyun, who are not so popular. "Oh my God! They are all beauties, and I, Meng Ziyi, want to be popular too! Director Li, please open your eyes and take a look! I have been a school beauty since I was a child!" Meng Ziyi stomped her feet, shouting in her heart.
My despised her sister Meng, who passed the Central Academy of Drama, the Chinese Academy of Chinese, and even the Military Arts exam, but she was defeated because of her singing voice during the second exam.
Now I finally figured it out. It’s too tiring to rely on my strength, so I’d better compete for my appearance.
Fortunately, everyone said that she had a Beijing Film Academy face, and Director Li, the head of Rongchen Film, liked to sign beautiful women.
Meng Ziyi came
Unfortunately, Director Li went to Hengdian during the first exam. During the re-examination, Director Li went to Yulin. During the third exam, although Director Li returned to Beijing, there was no trace.
Meng Ziyi was thinking about Li Chen, who was thinking about him, was on the way to Zhongying. "Boss, when did you contact Zhou Xingchi?" Yang Siwei was very curious and said while driving.
"The third year of junior high school."
Yang Siwei nodded, focused on driving, and no longer asked more questions.
At Zhongying, Zhou Xingchi has arrived.
Seeing Li Chen coming in, Zhou Xingchi stood up from the sofa with a little bit of a slight stalemate.
Han Sanping also stood up slowly.
Li Chen smiled and nodded with Han Sanping: "Dr. Han."
Then he looked at Zhou Xingchi, who had a slightly unnatural expression and smiled, "Director Zhou, we are meeting again."
"Director Li." Zhou Xingchi looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.
Yang Siwei also took the initiative to say hello to Han Zhou and the others beside Li Chen.
Zhou Xingchi is indeed a little unnatural. The person in front of him is the only filmmaker Zhou Xingchi who has no confidence to defeat him.
Although Feng Xiaogang is so happy, in terms of box office, Zhou Xingchi doesn't take Feng Xiaogang seriously at all.
So when Xiaogang Cannon brags about what he doesn’t make movies and what the Chinese people watch.
He Zhou Xingchi always sneered because his movie has not been released in the mainland.
As expected, after the return of Hong Kong Island, Zhou Xingchi's first "Kung Fu" slapped Feng Xiaogang's "The World No Thieves" with a box office of 170 million yuan! "Director Li, what do you mean by subduing the demons that day? I have been thinking about your words these days, but I still haven't figured it out." Han Sanping's secretary served tea. As soon as the few people sat down, Zhou Xingchi couldn't wait to ask.
Han Sanping smiled and said, "You kid is fighting with him in "Journey to the West" in public, and he is a WeChat friend in private!"
"Siwei, can you see thoroughly, your boss?"
Yang Siwei smiled and said, "Dr. Han, if I can see through, then I will be the boss."
Han Sanping laughed, and Zhou Xingchi also pulled the corners of his mouth, still looking at Li Chen.
Li Chen didn't keep it a secret: "You didn't tell the media that if the box office is big, you will have to make a sequel."
"As long as the sequel can surpass "The Demon Subduing Chapter", the two brothers Huayi will find you sooner or later. At that time, the price will not be available for you, and you can also settle the new and old accounts together." Zhou Xingchi listened very seriously, and Han Sanping also felt that Li Chen was right. He knew exactly what the two brothers were doing.
If you can eat alone, you will never look for others. "I heard that you are planning to sue those two brothers?" Zhou Xingchi nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, but the lawyer told me that the chance of winning is not high."
"Dong Han just told me that I'm too naive."
Li Chen disagreed: "Dong Han is right, but you must sue! You must sue if you can't win!"
Han Sanping and Yang Siwei were both confused, and Zhou Xingchi didn't understand even more, but when he saw someone supporting him, his face suddenly became much softer. "What do you mean? If you can't win, you will ask him to sue. Isn't it just a joke?" Han Sanping glared at Li Chen.
Li Chen shook his head and smiled, "No, no, no, although the lawsuit cannot be won, Director Zhou can win people's hearts."
"Even if the two brothers can win the lawsuit, they lose their reputation and their stock price."
Han Sanping's eyes lit up and he thought to himself that Li Chen was right. "I'm afraid that by then, the two brothers will regret it and their intestines will be blue." Zhou Xingchi understood and felt relieved.
In the past few days, many people have advised him not to sue, which is a joke.
Li Chen was the first to support him. "Director Li, let me serve as a party tonight. Please invite you to have a meal with Mr. Han and Mr. Yang." Li Chen smiled and said, "A small matter is a small matter. When you arrive in the capital, you can serve as a party." "No, Director Li, I will definitely ask me to serve as a party today. I have something to ask for." Zhou Xingchi insisted.
He thought it through before coming today, since Hua Yi cheated him so hard.
Then he will cooperate with Huayi's mortal rival Rong Chen Film. Just like he defeated "The World Without Thieves" with "Kung Fu" back then, he wanted to use the box office to make Huayi regret what he did this time!
There is another reason, which is to avoid the recurrence of the news incident!
Li Chen glanced at Han Sanping, and Han Sanping said, "Let Zhou Xing ask me this time, and you will come next time."
Li Chen no longer politely.
Four people and two cars came to a hot pot restaurant in Chaoyangmen.
The hot pot restaurant is divided into two floors, and the decoration is antique. The first floor is a scattered terrace, and the second floor is full of private rooms, which is very private.
Among the four, Zhou Xingchi's look is the most eye-catching, with long gray hair. If he hadn't been wearing a mask, he would have been recognized immediately.
After entering the private room, the four of them sat down, Li Chen and Zhou Xingchi took off their masks, and the waiter was stunned.
Yang Siwei had long been used to it and said with a smile, "Stop watching, handsome guy, order food."
"Ah? I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The waiter's heart was surging. He didn't know the four people sitting in front of him except for the middle-aged flat-headed man and the fat girl who were sitting in the innermost.
There are two men left, just like they are engraved in my mind.
A is a big director who is almost everyone knows about. She starred in the panda movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years": Little Li Zi.
What is the icon most familiar to movies by audiences across the country now?
That must be the dragon logo at the beginning and the panda logo before the movie began.
Another gray-haired man, the waiter is so familiar that he can't be more familiar with him. He grew up watching his movies since he was a child.
The King of Comedy: Zhou Xingchi.
Li Chen and Zhou Xingchi both looked calm and seemed to be used to the reaction of being recognized. "That's all." Yang Siwei asked Zhou Xingchi and Han Sanping what were the taboos, and then ordered the dishes and gave the menu to the waiter.
She actually knew the tastes of Han Sanping and her boss, but she still asked Han Sanping politely.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The waiter was excitedly holding the menu and shook his hands. He left the private room and immediately reported the situation in the private room to the manager.
"Manager, is the guest in Hongyunyuan?"
"Who is it! Has hell?"
"It's Zhou Xingchi and Li Chen!"
"Ah"
Li Chen and others didn't care about the waiter changing to a woman wearing professional condoms.
The four of them were eating and chatting. Zhou Xingchi didn't talk much at first, but he often said whatever he thought of, which was very abrupt. "Dr. Han, do you remember the project I mentioned to you two years ago?" Zhou Xingchi put down his chopsticks and raised the interests of Han Sanping and Yang Siwei in one sentence.
Han Sanping nodded and said, "Of course I remember, it's related to environmental protection."
Zhou Xingchi smiled and said, "Dong Han has a good memory."
"Director Li, I just asked for something, just hope you can join me in this drama. I have written the script and brought it to you today."
Han Sanping quietly took a toothpick and took it and took it to himself, and thought to himself, "Zhou Xingchi finally got to know it."
He had already called Zhou Xingchi and Li Chen to get along well, and it would not harm him.
Zhou Xingchi took out a draft from his bag like a treasure, which made Li Chen instantly remember the treasured "Actor's Self-cultivation" in "The King of Comedy".
Li Chen also took the color with both hands.
Yang Siwei gave a look: "Mermaid"! "Zhou Xingchi's mistakes make him more wise. It seems that he also knows that Wen Zhang's accident has nothing to do with the boss. In addition, Hua Yi's brothers' desperation pushed Zhou Xingchi to the boss's side." "I just didn't expect that Zhou Xingchi's efficiency this time!" Li Chen looked at it for a few minutes, and the three of them did not disturb him.
After closing the script, Zhou Xingchi was a little nervous. He was in front of him the number one screenwriter in China and the gold medal screenwriter in Hollywood. Even though Zhou Xingchi was very confident in his script, he still hoped to be recognized by the other party. "How is it, Director Li." Li Chen smiled: "The metaphor is a metaphor, which complements each other, and with your Director Zhou's signature, the box office of this movie is only higher than "Journey to the West". "Han Sanping smiled, and Yang Siwei also smiled.
Only Zhou Xingchi didn't smile, and he still had a solemn face: "Director Li is indeed an expert, and he can see the meaning of my book at a glance."
Seeing Li Chen say this, Han Sanping believed it even more and said with a smile: "Tell me, what is the budget."
Zhou Xingchi didn't say anything, but Li Chen said: "Three hundred million."
The end of the script has an investment budget, because there are scenes filmed underwater and special effects, Zhou Xingxing's budget is high or low.
"Three hundred million?" Han Sanping was a little surprised.
This year, most of his budget for China Film is placed on the films of Li Chen's company.
When Pu heard Li Chen telling the investment budget, Han Sanping hesitated instantly.
If it weren't for Li Chen, Zhou Xingchi would be the boy Shancai in Han Sanping's eyes.
Li Chen nodded and looked at Zhou Xingchi and said, "How much share is Director Zhou going to take out?"
This is the first time Zhou Xingchi feels Li Chen's style, and he only feels happy.
"Did Director Li agree to vote?"
"Director Zhou's work seems to have never lost money, not to mention that we have no reason to refuse this subject, right, Director Han."
Han Sanping's alveolar pain in his back: "Yes, yes!"
Yang Siwei silently lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised.
I felt a little sympathetic to Mr. Han.
Zhou Xingchi immediately smiled: "I plan to take out 70% of it, 30% of it to Director Han, 20% of it to Director Li, and I hope to attract more than 20% of it."
"I'm going to hide it from you guys. Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, the bosses of Shanghai Film and Television, Wanda and Guanghui have contacted me. In the next few days, almost all the film and television companies in the circle have contacted me. After Huayi's affairs, these bosses have contacted me more frequently."
Li Chen laughed: "Director Zhou, you are so cruel. You want to take everyone to eat meat and drink soup, so don't bring Huayi!"
Han Sanping and Yang Siwei didn't react. As soon as Li Chen said, the two of them figured it out.
Han Sanping sighed in his heart that Li Chen was smart enough, and also sighed that Zhou Xingchi was really injured this time.
Zhou Xingchi admitted openly: "You are right, Director Li, that's what I mean."
Li Chen glanced at Han Sanping: "Dr. Han, how many of them are you?"
Han Sanping silently calculated the comparison in his heart. Zhou Xingchi's budget was 300 million yuan, and the later promotion and distribution will definitely be more than this.
In other words, at least the box office exceeds one billion, it is profitable, and the rate of return is definitely not high.
Li Chen is rich, but Han Sanping's money is not his own.
If it's like "Yangtze River VII", he won't have time to cry.
Han Sanping instantly understood: "Jinying Zhongyi can just do it, half or 100% of it." Li Chen knew Han Sanping's thoughts clearly.
But he still advised: "Dr. Han, I am very confident in Director Zhou's play and may set a box office record."
Zhou Xingchi didn't say anything. He had always been very confident in himself, just looked at Han Sanping silently.
Li Chen hesitated Han Sanping's words again. What Li Chen said has always been completely up to date.
But at this critical moment, he may be the deputy director at the end of this year, so why bother to take this risk?
Han Sanping smiled and said, "China Film also accounts for 10%. "
Li Chen no longer advised him and said, "Okay, then Rongchen Pictures accounts for 40%, and the publicity and distribution will be handed over to Yixin Media."
It is said that Li Chen is rich, and Zhou Xingchi didn't feel anything before.
But today I really felt that 40% is 120 million. Looking at his calm and gentle appearance, I thought it was just one or two cents.
Zhou Xingchi wanted to speak but stopped, and Li Chen knew his thoughts clearly.
