The richest man

Chapter 254 Hand-picked artist (six thousand chapters for subscription)

Although domestic TV stations cannot be purchased, private enterprises are allowed to set up film and television companies.

The separation of production and broadcasting has been relatively mature in China.

Legendary Film and Television Company also entered China for the first time, and is currently the largest private film and television company in China.

Of course, Legend Technology also has to take advantage of the period when "Sword and Fairy Now" is adapted into a film and television drama, and rush to produce the online game "Sword and Fairy Online" to maximize profits.At the same time, novels, comics, toys, stickers, stationery boxes and other products will also be launched one after another.

……

……

Tangren Film and Television Company.

Cai Yinong, the boss of the Tang Dynasty, looked at the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes in front of him in surprise. His name is Hu Jiashi, he is in his forties, a tall man of 185cm, with a short cut, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He is full of righteousness. Artist Director.

"Mr. Hu, hello, welcome to Tangren Film and Television. Your arrival will make our place flourish!" Cai Yinongxiao smiled like a flower, and greeted Hu Jiashi very warmly.

Hu Jiashi smiled slightly, and said, "President Cai, you are welcome, I am here today, do I have something to trouble you?"

"Oh, what's the matter? Just say it, if we Tangren Film and Television can help, we will never refuse!"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just fell in love with an artist from your company and wanted to sign him to Legendary Film and Television Company." Hu Jiashi said frankly.

Cai Yinong couldn't help feeling curious, and asked, "Not only which artist do you like?"

"It's just a newcomer, named Hu Ge, who is studying in the Acting Department of Shanghai Theater Academy. He signed a contract with Tangren Film and Television half a year ago." Hu Jiashi replied.

Cai Yinong has a little impression of this newcomer. He is tall and handsome, with a good image and temperament. The company also plans to focus on training him.

"Oh, you said him, um, he is indeed a good seedling. He is handsome, popular with audiences, and has good acting skills. Our Tangren Film and Television Company also plans to focus on training him. We will let him participate in the movie "Pretending Not to Feel" as soon as the contract is signed. ". However, since the Legendary Film and Television Company also took a fancy to him, they had no choice but to part with it. He will definitely get a better development when he arrives at the Legendary Film and Television Company. We, Tangren Film and Television, will not hinder the artist's future. Artists from our Tang Dynasty who have gone abroad can develop very well!" Cai Yinong said with a sincere face.

In fact, Cai Yinong would not have given up his artists easily if Tangren Film and Television hadn't wanted to hug Legendary Film and Television.

Legend Films is the largest film distribution company in China, with 312 movie theaters.

And the behind-the-scenes boss of Legendary Film and Television Company is Zhang Jun. Legendary Film and Television Company asks Tangren Film and Television Company for someone. How dare Cai Yinong agree?
Instead of resisting, it is better to take the initiative to accept. In this way, Tangren Film and Television and Legendary Film and Television have more or less sympathy. If Tangren Film and Television wants to release movies in the future, it is better to cooperate with Legendary Film and Television Company.

Hu Ge is just a rookie now, and it's not worth Tang Renying to keep him.

Hu Jiashi smiled and said, "Then thank you, Mr. Cai!"

"Where, Director Hu is too polite!"

Cai Yinong invited Hu Jiashi to the office for tea, and at the same time asked people to print out the contract and transfer Hu Ge's agency contract.

At this time, Hu Jiashi also saw Hu Ge's resume from Tangren Film and Television.

Hu Ge has a very strong resume. He has excellent grades since he was a child. He was a member of the three-bar brigade in elementary school. In middle school, he also served as the host of the school’s flag-raising ceremony, the director of the school’s radio station, the president of the school’s drama club, the head of the school’s chorus, In 1996, he was elected as the host of the "Sunshine Boys" column of Shanghai TV. In 2001, he was admitted to the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama, and then the Acting Department of the Shanghai Theater Academy... …

It's just that Hu Jiashi was very curious. Where did his boss know about Hu Ge? Did he watch "Sunshine Boys"?
Hu Jiashi's expression was very weird. It was hard for him to imagine that his boss would watch children's programs like "Sunshine Boys"...

Not long after, Hu Ge came to Tangren Film and Television Company.

He already knew the ins and outs of the matter on the way, and he never expected that Legendary Film and Television Company would specially come to Tang Ren to sign him.

"Brother Hu, don't forget about your wealth! The agent director of Legendary Film and Television Company signed the contract in person. You must be prosperous! Don't forget about us in the future!" Show a look of envy.

Hu Ge looked confused at this moment, greeted everyone, and hurried to Cai Yinong's office.

dong dong dong.

Hu Ge knocked on the door and entered.

"Hu Ge, come here quickly, this is Hu Jiashi, director director of the legendary film and television company who is well-known in our industry!"

"Director Hu, hello, I'm Hu Ge!" Hu Ge greeted Hu Jiashi nervously.

Hu Jiashi smiled and said: "Little Hu, don't be nervous, the whole family with the surname Hu is a family, and I am also surnamed Hu. Maybe we are still in the same family. Let's sit down first."

"En." Hu Ge replied, and then sat on the sofa.

Hu Jiashi said: "That's right, our Legendary Film and Television Company has a big drama ready to start shooting, and your image and temperament are very suitable for the leading actor of this TV series, so our Legendary Film and Television Company wants to sign you to our Legendary Film and Television Company. You Tangren Film and Television Mr. Cai is also willing to let him go, so I don't know what you want?"

Cai Yinong said on the side: "Hu Ge, this opportunity is rare, you have to make good use of it!"

Hu Ge nodded, then looked at Hu Jiashi, and said, "Thank you Director Hu, I am willing to sign with Legendary Film and Television!"

"Okay, okay, I guarantee that as long as you finish filming this movie, you will definitely become famous!"

Hu Ge felt that he was hit by the pie of the world, he was so lucky, and he was still dizzy when he got home at night, and he couldn't believe it.However, seeing the legendary film and television agency cooperation in hand, it feels real.

The next day, Hu Ge followed Hu Jiashi to BJ.

Because the headquarters of Legendary Film and Television Company is in BJ.

Arriving here, Hu Ge finally knew what film and television drama he was about to star in.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy"!
"Hu Ge, have you ever played "Legend of Sword and Fairy"?" Hu Jiashi asked with a smile.

Hu Ge was embarrassed, shook his head and said, "No..."

Hu Jiashi said: "From now on, I will be your manager. Before the filming of this movie has started and the script is still being polished, you should play this game first to familiarize yourself with the plot in the game. At the same time, you have to participate in the company's Training classes prepared for you to improve your acting skills."

"Okay, Director Hu, I will follow your arrangement."

Hu Ge asked curiously, "By the way, Director Hu, who is the heroine of this play?"

"The heroine has not been decided yet. Oh, by the way, you are the actor appointed by the boss to play Li Xiaoyao, don't let him down!"

Hu Ge was stunned when he heard this~
……

……

Zhang Jun sent someone to BJ Film Academy to investigate Liu Yifei, good guy, he has already started to hang up at this time. In 2002, he filmed "The Family of Gold Fans".In the same year, Liu Yifei participated in the audition of the crew of "Dragon Babu". After the audition, she was finally selected to play the role of the fairy sister Wang Yuyan. On September 6, Liu Yifei officially joined the filming of the drama.

If Legendary Film and Television Company invites her again, then she may have three big movies released next year.

"A Family of Gold Fans" and "Dragon Babu" should be arranged by her godfather. If a newcomer can be the heroine in such a big crew, the energy of the godfather can be imagined.But compared with Zhang Jun, that's it.

Hu Jiashi soon received a call from Zhang Jun, asking him to sign Liu Yifei to Legendary Film and Television Company to play the role of Zhao Linger.

Although Hu Jiashi was puzzled, he followed Zhang Jun's instructions to find Liu Yifei.

As soon as Liu Yifei entered the circle, she was accompanied by her mother Liu Xiaoli and a very professional management team.

When Hu Jiashi found Liu Yifei, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect Liu Yifei to already have the support of a "financial boss".

but……

The so-called "big boss" is the younger brother in front of Zhang Jun.

Hu Jiashi was very confident. He walked up to Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei, mother and daughter, and introduced himself, "Hello, I am Hu Jiashi, director of artist management of Legendary Film and Television Company. This is my business card."

As he spoke, Hu Jiashi took out two business cards from his trouser pocket and handed them to Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei respectively.

Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei's mother and daughter took the business card, glanced at it, and were secretly surprised.

"Hello, Director Hu, what do you want to do?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

Hu Jiashi smiled and said: "Ms. Liu Yifei has a very good image and temperament. 'Clear water comes out of hibiscus, and it is naturally carved', which just fits the role of the heroine of our company's new drama. Therefore, our Legendary Film and Television Company intends to sign Liu Yifei. What do you think? Do you have any idea of ​​working for Legendary Film and Television Company? You know, our Legendary Film and Television Company is the largest film and television group in China, and the boss behind the scenes is Zhang Jun, the richest man in the world. If he gets his favor, it will skyrocket to ninety thousand Li', it won't be a problem if it becomes popular all over the world!"

Needless to say, Legendary Film and Television Company is the company that all domestic artists want to join the most.It would be a lie to say that Liu Yifei's mother and daughter are not moved.However, the two of them were also worried that although Hu Jiashi spoke nicely, after entering Legendary Film and Television Company, the company might not provide resources to train them.

At this time, not far away, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a back comb came over.

"Hello, I'm Liu Yifei's godfather, Chen Jingfei! I don't know if this gentleman is..." Chen Jingfei looked at Hu Jiashi.

Hu Jiashi replied: "I am Hu Jiashi, Artist Management Director of Legendary Film and Television, and this is my business card." After speaking, he took out another business card from his trouser pocket and handed it to the other party.

Hearing this, Chen Jingfei's face was slightly relaxed, he glanced at the business card, and immediately said: "Mr. Chen wants to find my daughter to make a movie?"

"Well, yes, our company has a big drama recently, and we plan to ask Ms. Liu Yifei to play the leading role."

"Oh, I don't know what big drama it is? How much is the investment?" Chen Jifei asked.

Hu Jiashi said: "The game "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is adapted into a TV series, and the investment budget is about 2 million."

When they heard the [-] million investment, several people were surprised.

The investment in domestic TV dramas rarely exceeds RMB 1 million.Liu Yifei was secretly shocked: "In 2002, the total investment of Jin Yong's drama "Dragon and Babu" was only 3400 million. However, the investment of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" suddenly soared to 2 million yuan. The investment gap is so big! !!"

It is not difficult to imagine that when the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" starts, it will definitely cause a great sensation.

Although Liu Yifei didn't know much about "Legend of Sword and Fairy", she was already fascinated. A female lead in such a TV drama with such a large investment would definitely be a big hit.

After all, Chen Jingfei is a business tycoon, and the quickest to come to his senses, he couldn't help asking: "You have invested so much in this drama, can you make money back?"

Hu Jiashi said with a smile: "Our purpose of filming this TV series is to make "Legend of Sword and Fairy" popular all over the country, and even Southeast Asia. We don't expect to make money purely from TV series."

Chen Jingfei suddenly said: "Oh, I remembered, the owner of Legendary Film and Television Company is Zhang Jun, and the legendary technology company under his name is the overlord of the game industry, that is to say, you will make money by selling games!"

"Yes, but not only games, but also various peripheral products! Therefore, in order to make the game profitable, the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" must be refined, so the investment is huge, and many special effects will be used in it. The audience is brought to the real fairy world!"

"In addition, in order to ensure the popularity of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the head office will use a lot of resources to promote online and offline. At that time, it will be difficult for the male and female protagonists in the show to be popular!" Hu Jiashi laughed. .

Chen Jinfei knew that this time was a rare opportunity. If his goddaughter appeared in this drama, she would most likely become a popular actress.

Chen Jingfei also saw the desire of his goddaughter. At this time, he still dotes on his goddaughter very much. After thinking about it, he said to Hu Jiashi, "I don't know what requirements Yi Fei has for the heroine in this drama?"

"Well, there is a requirement. It's actually very simple. You must sign a contract with Legendary Film and Television Company. It is impossible for our company to spend such a large amount of resources to train artists for other companies." Hu Jiashi said lightly.

Chen Jingfei also expressed his understanding after hearing the words.

At this time, Liu Yifei signed a contract with the brokerage company he founded to protect his goddaughter from persecution in the entertainment industry.

Chen Jingfei is very confident, Liu Yifei is under his protection, not many people dare to bully her.

But Legendary Film and Television Company is different. The boss behind the scenes of this company is thicker than him, so he can't afford it.

"Mr. Hu, please allow me to discuss with Yi Fei." Chen Jingfei said.

"Well, let's talk, I'll go over there to smoke a cigarette." Hu Jiashi smiled, then walked behind him, came to the lake, and smoked while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Chen Jingfei said to Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli at this time: "Yifei, do you want to act in "Legend of Sword and Fairy"?"

"I think!" Liu Yifei was very obedient, and nodded slightly in reply.

"Okay, then go, this opportunity is really rare. And with my protection, even if you go to Legendary Film and Television Company, they will not make things difficult for you. If they don't give you resources, then I will help you find them All kinds of resources! Your dream of becoming a big star, Godfather will definitely help you realize it!" As he spoke, he couldn't help stroking Liu Yifei's back with his right hand.

Liu Yifei frowned slightly, a trace of resistance flashed in his eyes, he was not used to and disliked his godfather touching him, and it was not his own.

Not long after, Chen Jingfei, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli walked towards Hu Jiashi.

Hu Jiashi smiled slightly and said, "How is it? Have you thought about it yet?"

Chen Jingfei said: "Well, Yi Fei decided to go to Legendary Film and Television Company, and I will ask Director Hu to take care of me from now on!"

Hu Jiashi smiled and said: "You're welcome, Mr. Chen and Ms. Liu, don't worry, Ms. Liu Yifei will not be wronged after she comes to our company. To tell you the truth, my visit this time was actually ordered by our big boss Yes, Miss Liu Yifei was handpicked to play the role of Zhao Linger in "Legend of Sword and Fairy". Miss Liu Yifei has won the favor of our boss, and her future acting career will be smooth!"

Before the words fell, everyone was shocked! ! !
Chen Jingfei couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhang, how did he know about Yi Fei?"

Hu Jiashi said with a smile: "Maybe I also saw the huge photo that Boss Hu spent a lot of money on for Ms. Liu Yifei. It is said that the director of "The Family of Gold Fans" chose to cast her as Bai Xiuzhu because of seeing this photo. ..."

Hearing this, Chen Jingfei couldn't help being secretly proud. This move of his has even alarmed Zhang Jun. Later, he will let people spread the story. Firstly, it will publicize his goddaughter, and secondly, it will also make me famous !

In fact, Chen Jinfei was just putting gold on his face, and Zhang Jun had never seen this photo.

The next day, Chen Jingfei and Liu Xiaoli took Liu Yifei to Legendary Film and Television Company to sign a contract.

Hu Jiashi briefly introduced the company's situation to them, and then brought Liu Yifei to meet Hu Ge, the leading actor of the new play, so that the two could get acquainted first.

"The investment in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is relatively large, so the preparation time will be a little longer compared to other TV dramas. During this time, Ms. Liu Yifei can go to the crew of "Dragon Ba Bu" to film. I guess, wait for " The crew of "Tian Long Ba Bu" has wrapped up, and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is about to start filming." Hu Jiashi confessed.

"Yes." Liu Yifei replied softly.

Chen Jifei looked around and asked, "Director Hu, does Mr. Zhang Jun usually come to Legendary Film and Television Company?"

"Our boss doesn't usually come, but he seems to attach great importance to this "Legend of Sword and Fairy". He personally selected the male and female protagonists, and also participated in the script creation. Maybe he will come to participate on the day "Legend of Sword and Fairy" starts. ...But I'm not sure, the boss has a lot of things to do every day, and the Legendary Film and Television Company is not the focus of his business."

"Oh..." Chen Jingfei felt a little regretful. If he can make friends with Zhang Jun, it will definitely play a huge role in the development of his career!

In 2002, with assets of US$2.15 million, Chen Kefei ranked 23rd in Forbes' list of the richest people in Mainland China.

In the eyes of many people, Chen Jingfei is already a super rich man.

However, Zhang Jun seemed to be an insurmountable mountain towering in front of everyone.Anyone in front of him will appear to be very small.

2.15 million US dollars may seem like a lot, but to Zhang Jun, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Chen Jifei has been abroad very much and knows Zhang Jun's influence very well.

As long as Zhang Jun makes an official visit abroad, the top leader of the local country may even come to greet him in person.

Compared with Zhang Junyi, a small businessman like myself is very different.

Liu Yifei also has a trace of regret, that is, not being able to meet the famous Zhang Jun.In fact, she is also a small fan of Zhang Jun. She really likes the songs written by Zhang Jun, as well as his novels and comics.

It's a pity that Zhang Jun hasn't written a song for a long time.

At this time, Zhang Jun was discussing and researching "Legend of Sword and Fairy Online" with the game developers of Legendary Technology Company. Zhang Jun wanted to spread the oriental fairy tale culture, so that European and American players can also like this game. big.

However, the more challenging it is, the more rewarding it will be!
Zhang Jun felt that the combat mode of "Legend of Sword and Fairy Online" must be unique and at the same time have oriental elements.

"The imperial sword rides the wind to eliminate demons from heaven and earth."

The fighting style of a professional swordsman is, of course, "the sword".

Therefore, the research focus of the game development team is to discover how to "control the sword", including fighting with the sword, flying with the sword and so on.

As long as the gameplay is novel and interesting, even if you don’t understand Chinese culture, but think the game is fun, you will like this game.

Not to mention anything else, it would be very interesting to make Yu Jian fly as exciting as a racing car.

In many online games, the characters can also fly, but the picture is too poor, and it makes people dizzy.

Zhang Jun wants Yujian flying to have a movie-like picture, even if the player is just flying Yujian to see the scenery, it can be extremely enjoyable!
For Zhang Jun's request, the development team almost collapsed, and the development difficulty of "Legend of Sword and Fairy Online" was instantly raised.

We can only continue to spend huge sums of money to improve the "Suan Ni Engine".

Legend Technology Company mobilized various forces, and even 2000 people developed the "Suanni Engine" at the same time.

This is unprecedented in the gaming industry.

Even, there was no such situation in the previous life.

No company has the financial resources to develop a game engine exclusively.

As far as Legendary Technology is concerned, the "Suanni Engine" is a product that integrates technology. Legendary Technology has applied many world-leading new technologies to the "Suanni Engine".In the future, both virtual reality and intelligent game NPCs may be realized with the help of "Suanni Engine"!

Games are the core business of Legend Technology Company, so Zhang Jun attaches great importance to the development of game engines, even if the investment is very large now!

Unfortunately, Zhang Jun's ideal "Legend of Sword and Fairy Online" cannot be developed within a year or two.

But the TV series should still be released, and if the TV series becomes popular, countless fans will have expectations for "Sword".

In early November 2003.

Zhang Jun had lunch at noon, and rested on the sofa, thinking that after such a long time, the preparatory work for the "Sword" TV series should be running out, so he picked up his mobile phone to make a call, and asked Legendary Film and Television Company, "Sword" "The preparations over there.

"Boss, the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is ready. The opening ceremony will be on January 1th. Do you want to attend?"

Zhang Jun thought for a while, and in order to show his importance to "The Immortal Sword", he agreed: "Well, I will come!"
