China Entertainment's turbulent era

Chapter 72 hasn't been released yet, let's make money first!

In Cannes after the closing ceremony, the small town seemed to be hollowed out in an instant.

The bustling crowd disappeared, and even the 60-meter red carpet was put away.

However, there is a small tavern, but there are many Chinese people gathered.

"Tonight! All expenses will be paid by me!"

The award night should be crazy, and Jiang Wen also showed his generosity and boldness.

Shen Xin knew in his heart that Boss Yang must pay the bill in the end.

Since someone pays the bill, it doesn't matter who pays the bill.

What to eat, what to drink, don't take anything to heart.

When Shen Fang was about to practice this philosophy of life, he was photographed.

"Senior sister, you are..."

"What? Want to drink alone?"

"Of course not. In such an occasion, who can be alone."

"Haha... don't engage in such literary things, you don't look like a young man at all."

"I'm the one who's talking poorly, so give me a toast!"

"One cup is not enough!"

"what?"

Shen Fang turned around and found that it was Sister Zeng, and this senior sister was already feeling a little drunk.

It seems that the last time Sister Zeng drank to this level was the last time.

"At least three cups! Scared?"

"Of course not! Drink!"

Sister Zeng seemed very forthright today. Maybe her role was not that important in the movie, but now, who cares about any movie.

Shen Fang didn't want to think too much, so he just drank.

The two drank red wine, which was obviously to take care of the senior sister's drinking capacity.

The alcohol content is indeed not high, but after three cups, it is still a bit high.

Shen Fang inexplicably recalled the most impressive scenes of women drinking before, and there are currently three.

Liu Yifei is pure and innocent, she seems like a daredevil, but she wants to break into the world of wine.

Xiaomi is a bit aggressive, she always seems to want to show her ability.

Sister Zeng is the most feminine drinker, with a unique charm.

"what are you thinking?"

"Oh, nothing."

Shen Fang slipped away briefly, but was caught by the senior sister.

"I chatted with Zhang Ziyi before, and she wants to thank you very much."

"This……"

"Junior brother, congratulations, you have succeeded in selling abductees."

"Ah, this, I didn't fool her..."

Shen Fang was a little embarrassed, but this matter did have the feeling of the sketch between Uncle Ben Shan and Teacher Fan.

But it’s not a fool. Zhang Ziyi failed to enter Hollywood and had to return to China to develop. It is good for her to favor her own people.

But Sister Zeng suddenly said something in Shen Fang's ear.

"She thanked you, now it's my turn."

"what?"

Shen Fang didn't react for a moment, but he heard Sister Zeng's voice suddenly became louder.

"I can make this movie, but I have to thank you very much."

Probably, she heard Jiang Wen say it... Shen Fang did give Jiang Wen some advice back then.

But what Shen Fang didn't expect was that the senior sister suddenly left a bright red lip mark on his cheek.

After kissing, she looked at him with winking eyes.

"Oh hoo!"

"interesting!"

"Come on, drink!"

Before Shen Fang could react, Sister Zeng's move caused a burst of booing.

So it's just a 'thank you', not a kiss?

Shen Fang didn't know, he didn't think about it now, he didn't even have time to wipe off the mark.

The only thing to do is to deal with the wine glasses coming towards him one by one.

……

"Two awards! Chinese films once again shine in Cannes!"

"The Sun Also Rises" Jiang Wen returns after 5 years!"

"Able to act and film, Shen Fang deserves to be number one in Chinese opera!"

"Shen Fang is famous in Cannes, and is in the same frame as the two senior sisters!"

"Exclusive interview with Shen Fang, comprehensive analysis of this former 'unknown person'..."

When Shen Fang came back from Cannes, it was already June.

Juneday is still a website at the moment, and Shen Fang has only heard about it.

After getting off the plane, he bought a lot of newspapers and magazines.

He just wanted to see how the media praised him.

Sure enough, it was pretty good.

Sitting in the taxi, Shen Fang kept flipping through newspapers and magazines, and couldn't hide the smile on his face at all.

Shen Fang didn't come back with Jiang Wen and the others, and there were still some things he wanted to do in Cannes.

The film festival is actually a business venue. After winning the award, a European film company proposed to buy the copyright of the "Far Cry" video product in Europe.

This is considered a very common situation, and the offer from the other party is not bad.

30 euros, ten years of copyright.

That might not sound like much, but it's actually a pretty good deal.

To release a movie in Europe, let's put it this way, even if it's a movie from these European countries, it's very difficult, let alone a huge box office hit after it's released.

This sounds unbelievable, but it is the truth.

Take France as an example. The birthplace of modern movies, the current domestic movie market has been completely dominated by Hollywood companies and movies.

There is a WTO agreement, and there is protection for the cultural industry, but this protection is almost the same as if there is no protection.

Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for a film from Asia to be released, let alone earn a good box office.

It's better to go to the DVD market. This market is huge and you can make money.

As for the form of copyright trading, there are probably two types, split or buyout.

For now, Asian movies are basically buyouts, even master-level movies.

Splitting accounts does sound more attractive, but splitting accounts means increasing financial costs. In so many countries in Europe, the laws alone are messy.

If you want to collect money according to the account, you may not even be able to pay the wages of the employees in the end.

What's more, our film doesn't have any big stars, it's full of oriental faces, so it's hard to get a high box office.

Shen Fang probably understood this, and he told his elder brother Long about the deal.

The big brother Long is also very happy.

In the end, the price was negotiated to 35 euros for ten years.

Calculated according to the current exchange rate, it is almost 350 million RMB.

In other words, the movie "Far Cry" has not yet been officially released, but it has already achieved profitability!
Even if the tax is deducted, it is still making money.

Shen Fang was very happy, because he was busy with this matter, he stayed in France for a few more days.

In fact, "The Sun Also Rises" was also favored by copyright dealers, but Jiang Wen wanted to wait and see, so he returned to China first.

After all, he doesn't care about money, it's Boss Yang's money anyway.

That's it, when Shen Fang returned to his motherland and the capital, he was not surrounded by reporters.

The reporters blocked Jiang Wen and the others before to take pictures.

Shen Fang, who was in a good mood, planned to go home first.

Give that girl a call.

"Well, how is the family now?"

"You're back?"

"Ah? Why does your voice sound weird?"

"No, it's nothing, by the way, why don't you go to Brother Teng and the others first?"

"Xiao Mi, you didn't do something to my house, did you?"

"Nothing! Oh yes, congratulations on your award! Hee hee..."

"Oh, thank you very much."

what's the situation?
But, after all, we are good brothers, Shen Fang has to give this girl face.

If she can handle it, it's fine.

So, Shen Fang called Brother Teng again.

"Let's go, congratulations!"

"Thank you Brother Teng, but this award..."

"You're going to be hot, you're really going to be hot, oh, you don't know, this makes me greedy..."

"Haha...Brother Teng, your burden is not new to me."

"really?"

"of course."

The two brothers chatted for a while, as if they were playing against each other on stage, or a comedy.

However, Brother Fuji still said some important things.

On the night of the closing ceremony of Cannes, a group of them also paid attention to the details of the awards in the Internet cafe.

This moved Shen Fang very much.

Well, Brother Teng didn't say that they played more than one book that night.

This is not the point.

The real point is...

"Our "Charlotte Annoyance", the role of Qiuya has to be changed."

"change?"

As soon as Shen Fang heard it, he took a taxi to the Century Theater.

……

In the noisy rehearsal room, there are now only two people.

"I'm going to play "Yilian Youmeng"."

"That's it, then congratulations."

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet."

"Then let's congratulate each other."

When Zhang Jiani saw Shen Fang again, she wanted to talk to the two of them alone.

Alone now, she was a little shy.

This shyness was in Shen Fang's eyes, and his understanding was that the girl in front of him was about to turn into Ziling.

To be precise, this play is called "Seeing a Dream Again", but the plot is similar to the old version.

At this point in time, Aunt Qiong Yao's drama is still very popular.

Zhang Jiani won the role of Ziling, which can be regarded as a real chrysalis into a butterfly.

However, Shen Fang couldn't help but have that famous scene appearing in his mind.

What you lost was only a leg, what Zi Ling lost was love!

The old version also has this paragraph, these three views are really speechless.

Aunt Qiongyao, her novels and dramas are all weird.

She has a bright future, so Shen Fang naturally couldn't keep her to play Qiu Ya.

TV drama heroines are much more popular than drama actors.

"I wish you success." Shen Fang sent his blessings.

And stretched out his hand.

But Zhang Jiani looked at him with complicated eyes, but in the end, she still held Shen Fang's hand.

"Thank you, but I want to ask a question, can I?"

The hands of the two did not loosen.

"Just ask."

Zhang Jiani bit her lip and said, "Qiu Ya and Yuan Hua, can't they be together?"

This is a play, Shen Fang summed it up and gave an answer.

"Both of them belong to the type that thinks too much."

Is this an answer?
Zhang Jiani nodded, then let go of her hand, and smiled at Shen Fang before leaving.

"You will become a big star in the future, don't forget about me."

Shen Fang didn't think much, and said directly: "Of course I won't forget."

In this way, Qiuya became Ziling.

……

"Don't delay people's future!"

"That's right!"

"So, are there any alternatives?"

"This...we found a few."

Shen Fang, Brother Teng and Brother Xiang had to discuss the casting of the role of Qiu Ya, and soon, Brother Xiang took out many photos.

This is how we choose actors in China, basically starting from photos.

Brother Teng quickly expressed his unique opinion and picked a photo for Shen Fang.

"How about this one? I think she's very comedic."

When Shen Fang saw this photo, he almost vomited.

Isn't this Jia Ling?

In the future, she will definitely not be able to play Qiu Ya.

But the sister Ling in the photo is very slender!
I really can't say that I can't play the role of Qiu Ya.

Could it be that Brother Teng and Sister Ling are about to start a relationship?
"Let it go, how about it?"

Brother Teng feels that he is Bole now.

Shen Fang coughed lightly, "Brother Teng, you can choose as an alternative, but can we find a more beautiful one?"

more beautiful?
Brother Teng looked at Shen Fang differently, and the smile on his face squeezed out many folds.

"I can't see it, you're quite sai!"

Color, sometimes read sai in the Northeast.

Shen Fang was blushed, "I didn't!"

According to the plot, Qiu Ya and Yuan Hua are going to match up.

But even without considering this, Shen Fang still felt that Sister Ling's Qiu Ya was not very reliable.

"Brother Teng, although Qiu Ya has a bad personality, her beauty is also part of the memories of her school days."

If this 'memory' is Sister Ling, wouldn't her image in the future...be a memory killer?

Fortunately, Brother Teng was moved by Shen Fang's words, and will continue to look for it.

……

It was already afternoon when we came out of the Century Theater.

Seeing that there was still time, Shen Fang simply went back to school.

He's got that book ready.

"return with glory?"

As soon as he saw Teacher Chang, Shen Fang's pressure came again.

"Mr. Chang, we're not kidding. The book I promised before has been written."

Teacher Chang really wanted to see Shen Fang's embarrassed expression, but she was also curious when he mentioned the book.

"Bring it."

Shen Fang simply handed it over.

The first thing that caught Teacher Chang's eyes were three large characters.

"Donkey Gets Water".
