Chapter 216 Wang Jinghua wants to join the game
“With such a large investment, we have to bring in external capital?”
“Yes, you are right, only fools would use their own money to make movies. , and even if we want to be fools, we don’t have that much money.”
Although Xingchen Entertainment is making a lot of money, the movie will be split after half a year.
Before the split of "Shark Beach" has come down, they have already opened a "Stone" and invested in "Wulin Gaiden", and they are still relying on the money from selling overseas copyrights.
"Then how much should we invest?"
"40 million, maybe."
After a pause, Dong Jianqiang continued: "You can ask China Film and the theater chain later to see how much they are willing to pay. With our partners, the rest will be sold outside at a premium. Among other things, those coal bosses are rushing to get it, and the old Li you introduced will also be rushing to get it..."
Zhang Chen’s movie share is huge, and he is sure to make a profit without losing any money. This is the current consensus in the industry.
So far, Zhang Chen’s movies have not lost money. Although only two have been released, each one has made huge profits.
"The second thing is that I got 15% of the investment share in "Scent of May Sophora Flower" two days ago..."
Zhang Chen said 'hmm'.
"The Fragrance of Locust Flowers in May" is a project of Taihe People and a TV series starring Zhang Guoli.
Cheung Guoli is an evergreen figure in film and television, and the TV series he starred in are not compensable.
Zhang Chen asked them to invest in "Stone", and they reciprocated the favor.
You see, isn’t this how relationships are built bit by bit?
“Is there any more?”
“Yes, Rong Xinda’s Zeng Jia came to me. They wanted the role of a handsome guy.”
In the original work, Brian My daughter and best friend were so obsessed with a handsome guy they met at the airport that they couldn't find them, thus revealing their address.
Zhang Chen made changes here.
Chinese people are very cautious when going out and are very vigilant. If a handsome foreign guy rashly comes up to show his courtesy, he will definitely be wary.
It makes a lot more sense to replace the handsome foreign guys with handsome Chinese guys.
When fellow villagers see fellow villagers, they both burst into tears.
After the development of information in later generations, many such examples emerged.
Many international students were deceived for the first time abroad because of their fellow countrymen.
When you are alone overseas, you will definitely feel friendly when meeting fellow villagers, but you will be cheated without realizing it.
This setting can also remind the Chinese people that when they go out, they should be careful when strangers are showing courtesy, and they should be even more careful when fellow countrymen are showing courtesy. Most people suffer the consequences of acquaintances.
"Rong Xinda? How did they know the content of our script?"
"I can't hide it. As long as it is submitted for review, it will be leaked to some extent. What's more, major film and television companies The company has people there.”
“We have them too”
"Of course."
Zhang Chen is not as clear about the details as Dong Jianqiang. Dong Jianqiang is in charge of daily management.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Chen finally said: "Reject them. They definitely wanted to give it to Lin Shen, but I think Lin Shen is not suitable. For this role, I expected Huang Xiaoming."
"Huang Xiaoming? Well, it is indeed quite suitable..." After thinking about it in his mind, Dong Jianqiang also felt that Huang Xiaoming was more suitable than Lin Shen.
"But he is currently filming "The Condor", is there any schedule?"
Zhang Chen had forgotten about this incident, "Then ask when the time comes. If it doesn't work, then replace him~"
He didn't think about it so much. At that time, he had a flash of inspiration and felt that his meaning was profound. And the meaningless smile is quite appropriate here.
Think about it, if a handsome guy smiles at you, girls will put down some of their guard.
As for what to do if your acting skills are not up to standard, this problem does not exist at all.
As I said, it is just a small supporting role, very simple.
Even a passerby can handle it.
Besides, the role of daughter can be given to Jing Tian, but why can’t the role of handsome boy be given to Huang Xiaoming.
"Is there anything else? If so, just finish it in one breath..." Zhang Chen urged.
Dong Jianqiang immediately said: "There is one last thing..."
After saying that, he stopped and found that Dong Jianqiang was trying to sell things off. Zhang Chen was curious: "What is it? ”
The former showed a smile and said, "It's a good thing. Did you know that Wang Jinghua and Cheng Tian broke up?"
"Yes, I was the one who made them break up."
"Huh? "
"I asked Xu Qing to give Wang Jinghua a message. I will never have any form of cooperation with Chengtian. Of course Wang Jinghua has to think about it. If she joins Chengtian, her artists will automatically enter my blacklist. List, no matter how stupid she is, she still knows how to choose..."
"Oh, so that's it."
"What's going on?"
"Yesterday Wang Jinghua suddenly came to me and said that he wanted to cooperate with Xingchen Entertainment to set up a brokerage company..."
"A brokerage company? Like Huayi? I don't agree. !"
Dong Jianqiang was surprised, "Why?"
"The reason is still the same as before. Why didn't I let Xingchen Entertainment set up a brokerage department? I told you before. >
We are a production company, and creation is the first life force. We only choose the right actors. But if we set up an agency department, we must take care of our own people when selecting actors. This is contradictory. In contrast, I think movies The quality is more important. "
"But that's Wang Jinghua. He has so many big names, such as Liang Jiahui this time, and Chen Daoming later. If they are also our artists, then just from them, we You can make a lot of money. "
Dong Jianqiang tried his best to dissuade him. He had always wanted to set up a brokerage department, but he had always been blocked by Zhang Chen.
"The gain outweighs the loss. Zhang Chen's attitude was very firm. Seeing Dong Jianqiang's face full of disappointment, he couldn't bear it, so he softened his tone and said, "And we can't make trouble with Wang Jinghua."
She has a very strong character, and you have seen the quarrel with the Wang brothers now. If she really comes to Xingchen Entertainment, they will definitely break up in the end.
Think about it, are you good-tempered? Or am I good-tempered?
We are all not good at each other. When we are put together, we will inevitably rub each other until one of us smooths out the edges.
Why bother?
Now we can still sit down and drink tea together. If we really become colleagues, we can only treat each other as water and fire. ”
"Is it as exaggerated as you said?"
"Believe me, I am both a director and a screenwriter. My eyes are very poisonous. Can you understand the essence through the phenomenon?"
"Tch..."
After making two jokes, the unpleasant atmosphere disappeared.
Actually, it is for everyone's good not to let Wang Jinghua come to Star Entertainment.
With Zhang Chen's temper, he and Wang Jinghua would definitely not be able to play together. This is determined by their roles.
Wang Jinghua definitely wants to get involved in Zhang Chen’s movie. Will Zhang Chen agree?
The two are bound to conflict.
OK, for the sake of the overall situation, it doesn’t matter if she compromises once and uses her actors.
Didn’t Feng Xiaogang hold his nose and use Fan Jiuyi?
But if you compromise once, you will have to compromise countless times.
It is not that there are no conflicts, they are just suppressed temporarily and will one day break out.
The longer it is suppressed, the greater the power when it explodes.
Wang Jinghua and the Wang brothers did not become enemies in a day or two.
However, what Dong Jianqiang said makes sense. Artist management is indeed a way to make money, not to mention that her films have been a great help to Wang Jinghua. She has made a lot of money, but she has not benefited at all. A bit of a loss.
"Let's do this. You ask her to come out and meet in the next two days, and we can talk about this together in person..."
Dong Jianqiang thought things were turning around, so he hurriedly agreed.
The meeting time was actually scheduled for that night. I don’t know whether Wang Jinghua was anxious or Dong Jianqiang was anxious.
Anyway, no time is wasted.
Wang Jinghua arrived first, and in order to make the atmosphere more harmonious, she even called Xu Qing.
If nothing else happens on the Star Entertainment side, it should be Zhang Chen and Dong Jianqiang.
Zhang Chen and his party have not arrived yet, Wang Jinghua and Xu Qing are sitting in the private room chatting.
"Did Zhang Chen say whether the other roles in "Hurricane Rescue" have been decided?"
Xu Qing shook her head, "He basically didn't talk about anything else when he was with me..."
Just do it~
Fan Binbin: I'm at least better than you. During the intermission, we talked about some things in the industry.
"When will the movie be released?"
"I know this. It seems to be at the end of September, aiming for the 11th slot."
Wang Jinghua nodded, this point It was pretty much what he guessed.
The most popular summer movie is "Crazy Stone", so "Taken" is either the National Day or the New Year.
But there is "The Promise" to celebrate the New Year. "The Promise" is a giant with an investment of 350 million. It is currently the best in the country and is still the key project of China Film in 2005. China Film is unlikely to make "The Promise" and "The Promise" at the same time.
That leaves only eleven gears.
But Eleven also has "Myth", but Zhang Chen is not afraid of it. His first movie dared to be in the same period as "House of Flying Daggers", so "Myth" should not be ignored.
Wang Jinghua said no more, the box gradually became quiet, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Xu Qing had nothing to say: "Sister Hua, why did you remember to cooperate with Xingchen Entertainment?"
Wang Jinghua rolled his eyes at her: "Others don't know, don't you know?"
Sister Hua said in her heart, Zhang Chen asked you to take the words, and you are still here pretending not to know.
Xu Qing grinned in embarrassment. She was just looking for something to talk about, but she didn't expect to make the atmosphere even more embarrassing.
At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Zhang Chen and Dong Jianqiang walked in.
"Sister Hua, Sister Qing, what are you talking about?" Zhang Chen sat down familiarly.
"We didn't talk about much. We just talked about my family history. It happened to be about my leaving Huayi..."
"Then I just want to listen..." Zhang Chen looked very interested. .
Wang Jinghua thought that this was the right reason to tell her, so as to save everyone embarrassment.
“Originally, the Wang brothers and I had a bad fight because of our ideals. Later, we even stopped doing face-saving projects. Their new film didn’t use any of my actors, so I had no choice but to consider leaving...< br>
But what should I do after I come out? There are so many actors waiting to start working. I can’t do it alone. I have to have a platform.
I happened to meet Wu Kebo by chance at that time. Chengtian had funds and Japanese channels. Crucially, he also promised me that he would acquire Jinyingma Film and Television to complete the production process.
Later I thought about it, he has the funds and production capabilities, and I have the stars. We all complement each other, so why not stick together for warmth.
Then the matter of me moving into Chengtian came up. Originally, things were almost settled, but taking him to see Director Zhang that day made me realize another side of this man, who is so rhetorical and ambitious.
Fortunately, I haven’t signed a contract with him yet, and everything is still in time. Then I thought of you, Director Zhang. Star Entertainment’s creative capabilities are first-rate in the industry, and my products are also first-rate. Actors, why don’t we all join forces, maybe we can have better development..."
...
Please give me a monthly pass, a monthly pass~
