Chapter 506 Heading to Xiangjiang


After receiving the call from the company, Zhang Yuan first called Hua Yi.

"Oh, that's good."

After Wang Zhonglei knew that he was going to guest star in "Baby Project", he happily said a few words of encouragement.

The reason why Zhang Yuan contacted him and the reason why Xiao Wang was happy was because Hua Yi also invested in the film "Baby Project".

Although not much, it still accounts for about 20% of the total.

In order to develop rapidly, he must attract big-name stars to cooperate with him.

Like Hua Yi, a large number of young actors and singers have been signed.

In fact, the cost of signing new players is very low. As long as one of ten can become popular, the cost can be repaid.

Out of a hundred, as long as one becomes popular, you can make money.

But this is just a newcomer. Those mature and well-known actors are not so easy to fool.

Huayi adopts a strategy of star shareholders, allocating small amounts of shares to well-known artists to attract them to join Huayi.

At its peak, Hua Yi relied on this move to allow the scale of his agency business to almost exceed that of the film production business.

Moreover, the net profit of the brokerage business is very high. Unlike movies, it is easy to hold a plate, but there are too many people sharing the same plate.

The company adopted another set of tricks, which are also common tricks in later generations of mainland entertainment circles as they mature.

Celebrities build their own studios or companies, and large companies invest in them.

The company has now established a cooperative company with Jackie Chan and Gu Tianle, and all of them are named.

This is also the reason why Gutian Le can stand in the front row with Boss Yang at future gatherings.

He is no longer an actor, but a boss.

The cooperation with Hua Yi is also to facilitate the release of his own films in mainland China.

At the same time, the two companies also exchanged resources.

"Baby Project" invested by Hua Yi gave the heroine of another of his films "Yun Shui Yao" to Hua Yi's Li Bingbing.

Among the top ten Chinese-language movies in the box office rankings in 2006, three were movies invested by Huayi, which shows how strong it is at this stage.

And judging from the top ten list, the Imperial Circle and the Hong Kong Circle each occupy four seats, which is evenly divided, and the Hong Kong Circle is also very strong.

There are two films left, one is "Crazy Stone" that does not count in any circle, and the other is "Tokyo Trial" invested by Shanghai Circle.

However, although the film "Tokyo Trial" was invested by the Shanghai Circle, the actors and directors are both from the Imperial Circle...

It can be seen that the current film market is basically a market where the imperial circle and the Hong Kong circle fight and cooperate with each other, and other interest groups basically cannot get involved.

After the release of Mr. Chen's photos, the Hong Kong circle was under siege. It was not until the rise of the Internet age 12 years later that the dictatorial pattern of the imperial circle and the imperial circle was completely broken.

Especially after Han Sanpin stepped down, the imperial circle that had led Chinese films for more than 20 years was basically flat and unable to rise again.

Zhang Yuan knew very well how these things developed, so he and Wang Zhonglei chatted for a long time.

Because in the past ten years, Diquan has still been the absolute overlord of the Chinese film and television industry, and it still needs to be on good terms.

As luck would have it, as soon as he made the deal, two more things came to his door one after another, and they were both from the other side of Xiangjiang.

"How are you doing, Mr. Hao?" More than half a month later, Zhang Yuan received a call from Hao Qigang.

"I'm fine, as I said last time..."

The other party mainly talked about two things with him.

One is to lead the club to play a friendly match in Hong Kong.

The General Administration of Sport is very concerned about this matter.

The main game "Warcraft 3" is currently popular, and "World of Warcraft" quickly became popular around the world after its release at the end of 2004.

The above want to use Li Xiaofeng, the world champion of this popular event, to strengthen exchanges between young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Secondly, the celebrity charity racing issue that Zhang Yuan mentioned before has been approved by their family.

It was decided to hold it in the near future, so Zhang Yuan was asked to quickly draw up a list and hand it over to them.

The other party also told him that the Hao family had arranged for himself and Guo Jingjing to attend in person.

Zhang Yuan knew that the Hao family valued Guo Jingjing very much and regarded her relationship with Hao Qigang as a very important move for the family.

At the same time, the Hao family really gave him the task of drawing up the list as a benefit.

Of course the other party knew what he was thinking, so he followed suit.

Of course, they also plan to sit tight on Diaoyutai and see Zhang Yuan's ability to handle things in order to decide on subsequent cooperation arrangements.

Zhang Yuan agreed wholeheartedly, and then called Li Ruigang in the Magic City.

"Racing?"

Li Ruigang was stunned when he heard this issue.

However, he was well-informed and knew that Zhang Yuan had some problems in the imperial capital recently.

I just didn't expect him to get involved with the Hao family.

Although he is nominally the president of SMG, he actually also holds some positions in the Magic City government, and his sense of smell is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

With a slight twist in my mind, I knew it in my heart.

"Okay, public welfare is a good thing. I can help you contact the Magic City Circuit."

Unlike most racing tracks in other parts of the country, the Magic City International Circuit is not only the only racing track in China that is qualified to host world-class competitions, it is also an asset owned by the Magic City State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

In 1996, the Zhongshu Provincial Government specially approved Document No. 94, allowing Shanghai to establish investment companies under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission on a self-borrowing and self-repaying basis.

Because it started with Document No. 94, the company was named Jiushi Group with a homophonic pronunciation.

All buses, subways, cruise ships, and taxis in Shanghai are all under the name of this company.

The land and event operations of the Magic City Circuit are also in the hands of this company.

SMG is also an industry under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, so SMG and Jiushi Group are actually brother companies.

This is also why Modu TV Station, which does not have a strong foundation in racing, broadcasts major racing events all year round. They are members of the same family.

Moreover, China's first F1 driver is not only a native of Shanghai, but also sponsored by Jiushi Group to enter the world-class formula field.

Even sports stars like Yao Ming and Liu Xiang have the shadow of Jiushi Group behind them.

If Li Ruigang comes forward, the Magic City Circuit should make time soon.

"It just so happens that if you come to Shanghai to hold a racing competition in a while, you can stop by to receive a prize." Mr. Li said with a smile.

"What award?" Zhang Yuan looked confused.

"Haha, your animation "Baby Girl, Good Mother" won the annual animation ratings championship on our station."

"I helped you apply for the China Media Group's annual domestic animation excellence award."

"Oh." Zhang Yuanxin said it was good to pick one up for free.

"Don't get too happy too soon." Li Ruigang suddenly lowered his voice.

Zhang Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was a price to pay for the award?

I don't sell my ass.

"Don't be too happy too soon, because there will be even happier things later." Mr. Li suddenly laughed, obviously deliberately teasing him.

Zhang Yuan:......

"If you win an award at our station, you can apply for the radio and television's recommendation list of outstanding domestic animations."

"Based on the ratings of your animation, I think there is no problem."

Li Ruigang feels scared when he talks about this animation.

The highest viewership rating is 21.24%!

What kind of incredible achievement is this?

It even brought down the animations from the island country that were broadcast at the same time.

The average viewership rating is also close to 14%.

After the other party explained, Zhang Yuan, who didn't know much about the animation industry, finally understood.

After getting into the recommendation list of outstanding domestic animations in radio and television, the production company will get bonuses, which are of course very small.

But the key thing is that even if you count government support projects, you can get tax cuts!

This is awesome.

Therefore, this kind of list declaration is generally only known by the relevant households and can go there.

The benefits are all digested internally.

Moreover, after being on the list, the production company can also become famous, which will definitely be beneficial to the sales of subsequent works.

Zhang Yuanxin said, Li Ruigang is not attracted to me, why is he so nice to me...

Then he pinched his fingers and figured it out.

""Come on! Good Man" should have been aired by now..."

He was right.

As soon as this reality show aired, the screen was full of handsome young men, which immediately attracted the attention of the female audience.

Coupled with the strong lineup of tutors and guests that have been advertised, the results have been excellent after the first two episodes were broadcast.

The early ratings are already on par with last year's "Super Girl".

And the investment situation is excellent, with more than ten brands already approaching us after just two episodes.

Taili currently receives 30 million yuan in title sponsorship fees and more than 20 million yuan in pre-roll advertising.

There are still millions in SMS revenue from cooperation with operators.

This is already more than 50 million.

It can be called fame and fortune!

After the industrial chain is formed in the later period, the expected revenue is hundreds of millions, and Modutai has made a lot of money!

Naturally, Mr. Li would not forget Zhang Yuan, who was known as a planner, so he reciprocated the favor and arranged an award for him.

The Shanghai circle is very profitable, so it is natural to treat people who can bring benefits to you as guests.

After thinking about this, Zhang Yuan smiled slightly.

"In this case, why not get closer and closer."

He replied immediately.

"Mr. Li, "Come on! Good Man" should have been broadcast, right?"

"That's right."

Hearing the smile on the other person's face when he answered, he knew he had guessed correctly.

"How about this? Since it is a charity racing competition and it is held in Shanghai, why not let the promoted contestants of "Come on! Good Man" also come to the racing scene."

"Act as a guest performer and warm up the game."

"Okay!" Li Ruigang agreed immediately.

[Thank you from Li Ruigang, +1 for journalism basics, +1 for documentary theory! 】

This guy must have a quick mind!

Originally, for this racing competition, Jiushi Group collected tickets, Haojia collected donations, and Modu Channel only broadcast it, which was of no great benefit.

But now allowing these contestants to perform is tantamount to riding on the popularity of those big stars, which will definitely make the show's ratings better.

Not bad, I like working with people like this who can make trouble.

Zhang Yuan holds the right to draw up the list. He knows very well that as long as he doesn't go too far and does things well, everyone will definitely turn a blind eye.

Seeking some benefits for yourself and your friends, and strengthening your relationship network are just a matter of convenience.

After chatting with Li Ruigang, Zhang Yuan smiled and thought about it.

"It seems it's time to go to the animation company."

"Urge them to come up with the next project quickly."

""Baby Girl, Good Mother" is just testing the waters and giving the major TV stations a taste."

"The sheep and the wolf coming next are the highlight!"

Zhang Yuan was already imagining the scenes of major TV stations competing to bid.

After settling the matter in Magic City, it will definitely be smooth sailing if the boss of SMG comes forward.

As soon as the conversation was over, the bearded man called him again.

"What have you been busy with lately?"

Big Beard had a lot of dissatisfaction with him because of Yu Min's incident.

In fact, just like Hua Yi's attitude towards him, he felt that this young man was difficult to control.

Otherwise Big Beard and Hua Yi have a good relationship, they are both the same kind of people.

But later, the short film about Zhang Yuan giving advice became popular, and Big Beard benefited a lot, and they started laughing with him again.

"I have just finished my scenes in Xiaotangshan, and I am going to Xiangjiang soon..."

Zhang Yuangang had just said a few words when he heard the bearded man slap his hand.

"What a coincidence!"

As soon as Zhang Yuan heard that he was so excited, he knew that this old boy must not have held it in well. ""The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be broadcast on Xiangjiang Jade Channel in the second half of the year."

"I just plan to take people there to promote it."

"It's just in time for you to go there. Take a few hours to attend the promotional meeting."

Zhang Yuan:......

You are just right.

It's nice to say it, but I never give you any money!

After finishing the work, he didn't even ask for a meal and just turned around and ran away.

Every time I ask for a taxi ticket, I don’t know who to go to to report it...

Forget it, if "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can be broadcast well in Hong Kong, it can also increase its popularity in Hong Kong circles, which will be somewhat beneficial.

In fact, not only in Xiangjiang, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will also be broadcast simultaneously on Baodao CTV in the second half of the year.

The bearded guy made a lot of money from this movie!

Movies with a mass base like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are easy to sell.

In fact, "Wulin Gaiden" has also been sold to Baodao and will be broadcast on eight major drama channels.

But Zhang Yuan knew that the film's broadcast results in Baodao were very disastrous!

Even worse than the performance of "Ming Dynasty 1566" on Mango Channel.

Only a measly 0.07%.

So much so that it was pulled by the TV station after eight episodes, and "Dae Jang Geum" was rerun to make up for the gap.

The reason for the poor broadcast performance is that Baodao does not understand the mainland jokes and cannot understand the dialect used by the actors in "Wulin Gaiden"...

How about the people in the magic city call the Baodao people "Tai Bazi".

He is a real country bumpkin, he doesn’t understand anything, and he doesn’t even read good things.

And it’s not like the Baodao people really don’t understand, because the next year they “imitated” “Wulin Gaiden” and made a costume sitcom called “Jianghu.com”.

The ratings turned out to be very good.

This made him wonder if there was some regional discrimination involved.

Big Beard is different from Boss Cai. Cai Yinong is soft-spoken and hard-working, while Big Beard is good at using the "muddle-headed and sudden drop of the hammer trick".

"Then it's agreed, it's settled."

"I'll see you in Xiangjiang in a few days, that's all."

Before he could reply, this "pa" put down the phone without giving him a chance to veto.

Zhang Yuan scratched his head.

I went to Xiangjiang and made a guest appearance in a movie.

I have to lead the team to play games again.

I still have to promote the TV series.

I was busy enough, but none of the jobs were paid...

Moreover, when going to Xiangjiang, I have to bring souvenirs to a lot of women, at least bags worth tens of thousands of yuan.

I’m going to post a lot more!

How about I pretend to be sick...

It's impossible to pretend to be sick. It's all a debt of gratitude, and it won't work if you don't do it.

I spent a long time holding a small notebook to sort out the itinerary.

He said to himself that it was a good thing that he didn't ask Li Xiaoran to accompany him to Xiangjiang.

Because even if he went, he wouldn't have time to play with her.

The next day I went to Lao Mouzi and signed the contract for "Golden Armor".

A few days later, he boarded a flight to Xiangjiang.

With everyone from the WE Club beside him.

These guys had the experience of going back to Singapore last time. As soon as they got on the plane, they started discussing which top hotel to stay in and where to eat shark fin rice.

I was so happy to say that, no one mentioned who would pay the bill during the whole process.

Zhang Yuan sat in his seat, his face covered with black lines.

Don’t ask, it’s me!

After getting off the plane, Zhang Yuan specially asked Li Xiaofeng to give him a few words of care.

"Friendly match, do you understand what I mean?"

"Friendship first, competition second?" Li Xiaofeng replied blankly.

"Just understand. Just be patient. You can never shave your head. Do you understand?"

"Countless!"

Someone from the Hao family came to pick them up and arranged for them to stay in their own five-star hotel.

You can eat lobster and abalone as you like, and you can enjoy the king crab.

These players are so greedy...

Zhang Yuan held the other person's hand and thanked him deeply.

It can be said that I have fed these guys who want to eat me, and I have saved money.

Early the next morning, everyone in the club was pulled into a gymnasium.

It's still our family's property.

Don't look at the Li family. Shen is always said that Xiangjiang is the city of the Li family.

It's just that the family is low-key and never public. The real industry is no less than that of Lao Li's family.

On the surface, our family has assets of HK$30 billion.

In fact, the Lisboa Foundation alone is more than just that.

The actual net worth of their family should be around US$50 billion.

Compared to the Li family, there are only a lot more, but few people know what their family's assets actually are.

Moreover, the so-called four major families in Xiangjiang have never had the name of the Hao family.

What's even more amazing is that most of their family's assets are protected and recognized by the state.

Unlike the Li family, they seem to have a lot of money, but they need to exchange certificates everywhere, and they are taught how to behave by white masters in minutes.

Moreover, if the state does not recognize your property, it can confiscate it if necessary if you find a reason.

Before the friendly match started, the chairman of the e-sports committee in Xiangjiang specially chatted with Zhang Yuan for a long time.

The intention is to hold more domestic competitions and increase the income of players.

Zhang Yuan immediately said that there is no problem. Every year, he personally spends one million to hold the e-sports grand prix, and attracts more sponsorships to make the plate bigger.

This kind of money has to be spent because it can be seen from above.

After the game started, in addition to Li Xiaofeng, there were three players from the club.

First, there are three rounds of one-on-one fighting, and in the end, the battle between the generals. As the world champion, Li Xiaofeng will definitely have the finale.

The intensity of this kind of competition will not be too high, and Zhang Yuan is not very interested.

But as the team leader, he couldn't leave early, and he had to pretend that the competition was fierce and that I cared about it.

After sitting there for three hours, my face became stiff with expressions.

He said to himself that this job is no different from filming, it is just a performance...

After watching the first few scenes, he had a rough idea.

The players in Xiangjiang are at least one level worse than those in mainland China.

There is no way, there are few people, little money, the training environment is poor, and the strength is naturally not good.

Zhang Yuan was a little panicked.

Because they had conquered three cities in a row, the leader of the team next door in Xiangjiang didn’t look very good.

Before Li Xiaofeng came on stage, he hurried over and took care of him again.

"Friendly match, remember, friendly match!"

Li Xiaofeng gave him a firm look in return.

“Boss, don’t worry about my awareness!”

As soon as the results came on stage.

The first one was done in four and a half minutes...

Zhang Yuan didn't dare to turn around and look at the expression of the team leader next door.

He was so angry that he called a timeout and called Li Xiaofeng to the toilet to give him a rough meal.

This one is still aggrieved.

"I only used 70% of my strength. Who knew he couldn't even withstand my first wave of attacks."

Before the game started, the opponent's team leader told Zhang Yuan that he wanted to see the "SKY flow" style of play that won the world championship.

Four and a half minutes to watch a "SKY stream"!

I saw SKY and I didn’t miss it at all.

"You have to give me some water anyway, you know?"

"If it doesn't work, just go to the sea and be more relaxed."

"Understood!" Li Xiaofeng showed his firm eyes again.

Zhang Yuanxin said if you don’t let go, you will go back to the hotel later and I will replace the shark fins in the shark fin rice with Longkou vermicelli for you!

Whether you should say it or not, in the end, the world champion is just obedient.

After the second round started, Li Xiaofeng's operations were obviously much slower, and Zhang Yuan could tell that he was letting off steam.

But the problem is that it goes too far!

In the wild, what happens if the hero is killed by monster A?

Zhang Yuan turned his head stiffly and found that the face of the team leader next door was even uglier than the one at Four and a Half Minutes.

It's a bit humiliating to put this water in.

After playing for fifteen minutes, Li Xiaofeng played GG after releasing a Pacific Ocean, bringing the score of the general battle to 1:1.

Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the general on the other side of Xiangjiang.

I saw that although the opponent had won, his face was full of despair.

It's like there are several big characters carved on the cheek.

"I am a toy..."

In the last round, after almost twenty minutes of letting go, Li Xiaofeng got a little serious and blew up the opponent.

"What a hearty game." Zhang Yuan smiled and stood up to shake hands with the opponent's team leader.

"Yes..."

"I look forward to the next time Xiangjiang players come to compete in mainland China. I will definitely lead the players to welcome them!"

"Okay." The other party was already numb.

"Otherwise, tomorrow I will have a press conference for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Hong Kong."

"There will be some celebrity performances. I will give you some tickets so that your players can come and relax."

"Okay..."

When the other party saw that the big star Zhang Yuan was so polite and polite, most of his frustration disappeared.

After chatting with the other party for a long time, we agreed that the two groups of people would have dinner together in the evening.

Zhang Yuan turned around and was blocked in the aisle by Li Xiaofeng.

"I asked you to let it go, can you let it go a little more?"

"I tried my best..." Li Xiaofeng replied a little aggrievedly.

"You can't pretend to lose in the decisive battle. You have to make mistakes in the jungle. It's too fake!"

"I'm afraid he won't be able to catch me when I pass by with an A."

Zhang Yuan:......

He suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

At the Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships in 2009.

Zhang Yining threw the ball to the ground in order to give the ball away.

It almost became the biggest stumbling block for the national table tennis team’s wolf-raising plan...

"You can't...forget it." Zhang Yuan waved his hand to make this guy disappear from his eyes.

"Tsk, I'm too inexperienced in the world of martial arts to know how to play the favor card."

He thought that when he went to Shanghai to race in the city in a while, he would not be the same as Li Xiaofeng today... (End of Chapter)
