Chapter 1014 Boss Yang’s preference for Jiang Wen; something happened over there? !
It seems that Jiang Wen has really learned a little bit of the lessons from "One Step Away" this time. In other words, if you have a large budget and can’t eat it alone, you will easily “choke” yourself.
Beside the Huangpu River, when Lin Nan and Ning Hao arrived, there were at least 20 film and television companies on site, and there were also many actors and stars in the industry, who were probably brought in to embellish the atmosphere of the scene.
If each company can provide 20 million, the 400 million Jiang Wen wants will be an easy thing;
But no one has the money. It wasn't caused by the strong wind. Moreover, Director Jiang did a terrible job on the street last time, which left everyone with lingering fears.
The most important point is that Jiang Wen seems to have only made two commercial films over the years. It is hard to say that he is a great director of commercial films;
After all, although "Let the Bullets Fly" is a profitable film, With the money, the reputation is so good that it explodes, but what about "One Step Away"? If it weren't for the guarantee, Jiang Wen would have paid out several times!
So at the moment, the attitude of the film and television capital in the industry toward Jiang Wen is a bit ambiguous, with both love and fear at the same time! The key is that Jiang Wen's favor may not be worth that much.
“Oh, that means Director Jiang Wen has the face to invite you, Director Lin, to a cocktail party.”
“It’s been several days since the film festival started, and Director Lin has not been there even once. I came out to meet everyone, but it seems I only showed up at the opening ceremony and Weibo Movie Night, two large public events, right?”
"The Tudou side has been very busy recently. I guess Director Lin has also been 'harassed' by many people, haha..."
There was an endless stream of people greeting Lin Nan, and he could only respond to them all with a smile and nod. People cannot come one by one.
Zhou Yun came over personally to greet Lin Nan and Ning Hao, while Jiang Wen and Ma Ke were busy "bragging" with a group of film and television company bosses about "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right".
"Sister Yun, go and do your work. Don't worry about us. We can do what we want." Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Okay, let's start when everyone is here. There is a luncheon at noon. Oh, by the way, do you want Yifei to call and come over?" Zhou Yun asked Lin Nan carefully. .
"No need, she went out for a walk with Shu Chang and Han Jianu."
"Oh, then I won't disturb her and have fun. But today, it's really troublesome that Director Lin and Director Ning are here to support me. In a moment I have to pay homage to you two alone.”
“It’s no trouble, it’s just free time.” Ning Hao said with a smile and raised the champagne in his hand.
Not long after, Lin Nan and Ning Hao took their cups to the floor-to-ceiling windows to look at the scenery.
They came here to cheer and were too lazy to listen to Jiang Wen's "fooling" there. It would be a pity for this guy not to engage in pyramid schemes.
However, everyone at the scene was a smart person, and they were very resistant and distrustful of Jiang Wen. It would be extremely difficult to get money from their pockets.
Looking far away, outside the banquet hall on the 20th floor is the pleasant Bund, with the former Shili Foreign Market right at your feet.
"Director Lin, Director Ning?"
A soft call made Lin Nan and Ning Hao, who were chatting and admiring the scenery, subconsciously turn their heads. It was Yang Shoucheng who had arrived!
At this moment, Lin Nan couldn't help but want to scold Jiang Wen for doing something "inauthentic" and so embarrassing.
At the beginning, Yinghuang spent a total of 60 million to help Jiang Wen, and took over the literary film "The Sun Also Rises" that was almost unfinished due to Jiang Wen's lavish spending, which caused other investors to run away midway;
The result was the final result The movie was a waste of money, but Ying Huang didn't complain.
When it came time for his first commercial film "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen shamelessly spoke to Yang Shoucheng again.
Due to his appreciation of Jiang Wen's talent, Yang Shoucheng chose to continue to believe and support, and invested another 150 million.
This time the movie made a huge profit, both at the box office and in word of mouth!
Originally, the banter between Bole and Maxima had already spread in the industry, but the subsequent "One Step Away" instantly shattered this "good story".
The reason is that Yang Shoucheng took the initiative to find Jiang Wen and wanted to participate in "One Step Away"; but Director Jiang was distracted and wanted to live alone, so he rejected Yang Shoucheng.
Well, God’s calculation is not as good as the calculation of man. “One Step Away” really means that the compensation was paid directly to the grandma’s house in one step, and there was not even anyone who could share the debt!
"Director Yang, what are you?"
Lin Nan joked pointedly, Ning Hao also had an "unbelievable" smile on his face. He really didn't expect Yang Shoucheng to come.
"Didn't Jiang Wen send an invitation? I came over after thinking about it."
Yang Shoucheng could naturally guess the thoughts of the two great directors in front of him, but he didn't care at all.
“How much willingness do you have?” Lin Nan paused and asked seriously.
"Will? There is definitely no way to satisfy it. Although Yinghuang is a listed company, the investment of 400 million yuan is not worth it to a listed company."
To be honest, at this moment , Lin Nan really admires Lao Yang a little, and has really been "preferred" to Jiang Wen for so many years!
"Director Yang is most likely the person with the greatest investment intention at the scene today." Ning Hao lowered his voice and said to Yang Shoucheng.
"Well, this is a good thing. I have always believed in his talent." Yang Shoucheng smiled knowingly, as if he felt relieved?
“Well, true love!”
Looking at Lao Yang’s back as he walked into the crowd, Ning Hao couldn’t hold it back and immediately started joking with Lin Nan.
At 10:30 in the morning, all the guests finally arrived.
And Jiang Wen picked up the red wine, stood on the stage, and started his formal "speech". Well, it was just short of a PPT.
"The background of "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Righteous" is still the Republic of China. This is also the third part of my "Beiyang Series", the original novel "Xia Yin".
Don't worry, this time it is A movie, a movie like "Let the Bullets Fly" is not a 'musical'..." Jiang Wen rarely joked about himself.
"Cast? It will definitely be me starring, and the main actors will definitely be from the original cast...We will also consider the young people market..."
"...an investment of 400 million The budget is actually not high for my movies, because I have to strive for excellence. Nowadays, the Chinese film market is booming, and movies with a box office of 1 billion are already very common. Movies with a box office of 2 billion are not big events, and 3 billion is not a big deal. Got one? ”
"I have absolute confidence in "The Righteous One". It is worthy of a box office of 2 billion, or even more..."
Jiang Wen talked eloquently on it, giving advice, with that tone and aura , that demeanor, that scolding Fang Qiu with every gesture, and his ability to seduce is so full, those who didn’t know better thought he was a “MLM leader”!
On the other hand, Lin Nan and Ning Hao were sitting in the far corner, drinking champagne with their legs crossed, clapping and shouting from time to time, feeling quite like being shills. However, Jiang Wen seemed to have indeed called them to "support" him.
Taotaotao, I talked for nearly an hour. At 11:30, Director Jiang had a glass of wine to moisten his throat and he finished talking.
He may be much more powerful than the MLM leader, but the film and television capital below are not easily brainwashed!
Want to pay? Haha, think about it again, hesitate again. This embarrassing situation was not broken until a voice sounded from the scene.
"Yinghuang wants 50%, will Director Jiang give it this time?"
The scene was completely silent for a moment. Everyone heard the sound and looked at Yang Shoucheng, including Lin Nan and Ning Hao.
“Now it’s confirmed, it’s true love!”
The teasing voice as soft as a mosquito rang in Lin Nan’s ears. Ning Hao was really bored.
Many people at the scene remembered what happened in "One Step Away" and looked at Jiang Wen jokingly.
I saw Jiang Wen's expression was slightly stunned, then he pursed his lips bitterly, picked up a bottle of red wine next to him, and filled it up.
"Director Yang, I respect you for this cup." As soon as he finished speaking, he drank it all in one breath.
With Yinghuang taking the lead, this will be easy to handle. In less than ten minutes, all the 400 million funds were gone and all were allocated.
Jiang Wen retained part of the share for himself. This move undoubtedly doubled the trust of all investors in him.
...In one morning, more than half of the hot searches and headlines on the Internet were suppressed, and I had the capital to put more effort into it.
At the same time, Wu Yifan Studio also officially issued an announcement, and the law firm it cooperated with also posted a lawyer's letter statement.
The statement directly pointed out that: some media, self-media and marketing accounts were not parties to the false reports online and did not make any confirmation with Mr. Wu, so they arbitrarily further edited and organized the false information. The act of editing and forging audio images, and distributing them with a number of vulgar, exaggerated, misleading and untrue titles has exceeded the limits of freedom of speech and constituted an infringement on Mr. Wu, which may lead to criminal liability...
Not to mention, under this combination of visible and invisible punches, things turned around.
Countless fans supported Wu Yifan, reporters from media outlets related to the cyber violence, and the entire Internet was filled with posts calling for injustice... It was a violent scene!
After being enthusiastically sent away from the cocktail party by Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun, Lin Nan and the two burped and took a walk on the Bund; gossiping, Ning Hao couldn't help but joke about this online incident. thing.
“To be honest, things like sleeping with fans and choosing concubines are really not a big deal for a popular idol star and a single top male star.
< br>It is completely impossible for competitors to use these things to bring him down. To bring down such a top male star, at least there must be solid evidence of criminal behavior, or drug involvement.
< br>Just sleeping with fans or choosing concubines, even if it is true, what will happen if it is stoned? Let alone crime, it is hard to say whether it can be classified as illegal behavior. It will most likely be classified as moral. Corruption...
Moral matters can only affect the reputation of that traffic star in the short term at most. Afterwards, they can be washed away, suppressed by public opinion, and hyped up, and it will be over. After all, it is a money-making seedling, and some capital in the industry will not give up and will definitely protect it to death.
In general, the "Documents for Processing of Bad Artists and Works" from the year before last was too thin, too crude, and many things were imperfect... Moreover, in the current environment, the film and television entertainment industry is really There is not much supervision and punishment..."
Lin Nan smacked her lips and wanted to interrupt several times but finally fell silent, because what Ning Hao said was indeed right.
...< br>
The annual Shanghai Film Festival is also the time when Shanghai Film has the greatest influence in the film and television industry, because the shadow of Shanghai Film can be seen everywhere
Correspondingly, as the host, Ren Zhonglun spoke with confidence, even surpassing La Peikang.
“You still don’t believe in the Hai Zheng movie?”
“Even if you do, how can Shanghai Film Group guarantee that it will get the share?” La Peikang He glanced at her and said without any emotion in his tone.
"Whether we can get it or not is up to Shanghai Film Industry, as long as others don't get in the way."
Han Sanping glanced at the two people standing next to him and interrupted at will. Road:
"Hai Zheng, the director should have been decided? As for the script, I estimate it will only be in the past two months. After all, it has been prepared for three and a half months."
Hearing what Han Sanping said , the eyes of Ren Zhonglun and La Peikang instantly lit up.
Wang Yong is not too concerned, because Xiying is powerless. As for Ning Ying and Changying, they all have old gods and are self-aware.
“Tong Bureau is coming in.”
With a reminder, everyone immediately looked towards the door and saw Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen entering the conference room together.
"After the Magic City International Film Festival ends, you guys will fly to the capital immediately. The Huabiao Award is more important, and we have been preparing for it in the past two days."
Hearing Tong Gang's more serious tone, I almost The person nodded immediately. From the perspective of the ministry, the importance of Huabiao is slightly higher than that of the Shanghai International Film Festival!
"Tong Ju, is this Huabiao Award for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" already secured?"
La Peikang is most concerned about this issue. China Film’s “achievements”.
Ren Zhonglun and others all had serious faces and looked at La Peikang with "displeased" eyes. How embarrassing!
Han Sanping felt very regretful at this moment. The Huabiao Award was too "positive" and he was not nominated for the Outstanding Actor Award for his "villain" role. Thinking about the Golden Rooster trophy for Best Supporting Actor at home, well, it is still very good. Gold content.
“I don’t know, China Publicity won’t disclose it at all. But thinking about it, the trophy and certificate for the Outstanding Feature Film Award should be from “Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom.”
Tong Gang smiled and nodded, this is the inevitable result.
Well, among the several state-owned enterprise chairmen in the conference room, there was only one who was in a happy mood. In the year-end work summary, there is something written again!
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, after some trivial matters for official activities during the film festival were arranged, the meeting adjourned.
But when everyone stood up to leave, Tong Gang suddenly spoke: "Zhongying will stay for a while, and the others can leave first."
More than a dozen pairs of eyes, vaguely speaking between La Peikang and Tong Gang After a quick glance, within a few seconds, there were only two people left in the conference room.
"Tong Bureau, what's going on?" Looking at Tong Gang's cold expression, La Peikang felt a little nervous.
"I am also from China Film Group Corporation. China Film Group Corporation and you are both direct descendants of me. There are some things I have to remind you."
Tong Gang looked at La Peikang extremely seriously , sorted out his thoughts.
"Tong Ju, tell me."
"In that "The Great Wall", does LeTV have a large share?"
This question surprised La Peikang, "It's not a lot. But there are 10 points. Why did Tong Bureau suddenly ask about this? "
There was silence in the conference room for two seconds.
Tong Gang pinched his eyebrows and said, "This movie is China Film's biggest 'political achievement' project in the past two years. I know you attach great importance to it, so I want to tell you something here."< br>
La Peikang picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, trying to calm down, "Tong Bureau, what's the problem with this project?"
"No. Make a good deal with LeTV on this project. , Don’t have any ‘personal relationships’ when doing business.”
As the helmsman of a state-owned enterprise, La Peikang’s sense of smell is still very sensitive. Tong Gang's words directly made his hair stand on end. Something happened over there? !
"Tong Bureau, over there?"
"Well, it's very complicated, just wait."
...
"Westward Journey 3" had only three industry screenings during the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival.
Well, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang and Han Jianu, who had nothing to do, went to watch Tang Yan's "performance".
Going in with a bit of expectation and coming out full of complaints, this is the state of the three of them at this time.
"Liu Zhenwei is just a director. He knows nothing about "Westward Journey"? It's a mess!
The first two films can become classics because they are classics interpreted by the audience and fans, and they are also classics performed by Zhou Xingchi. They are no longer Liu Zhenwei's "Westward Journey", but they want to make a third film to ruin the classics. Well, consumption Feelings..."
Han Jia'v cursed and complained. As for Tang Yan's acting skills, she, as a director, would not comment on her to give face to her friends.
"Wu Gan's "Awesome" sentence It’s so devilish. Next time I see Xie Nan, I will definitely laugh at her, haha..."
Shu Chang hugged Liu Yifei’s arm and laughed so hard. And Miss Liu was doing it Talking to Lin Nan on the phone, the two parties hung up after half a minute.
“Let’s go find Lin Nan, he and Director Ning Hao on the Bund. Well, you can have dinner while enjoying the sea breeze. Liu Yifei blinked and said with a smile.
"Haifeng?" Han Jianu was stunned for a moment and Shu Chang was also a little confused.
“Director Yang from Yinghuang chartered a luxury cruise ship to celebrate director Jiang Wen’s new movie project...”
