The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 415: Can’t Hold It Back (-in-)

Tall buildings rise from the ground, but you still have to make tea by yourself.

After sending Wen Muye downstairs, Wu Lang returned to the general manager's office and took out a bag of Xinyang Maojian from the cabinet.

After making a cup, he knocked on the door of Lu Yuan's office again.

"Boss, drink tea."

Lu Yuan was busy reading the script and glanced at it casually.

Because my father Lu Minghua likes tea, he knows a little about tea, and it is easy to tell that this tea is different from the previous ones.

So she stared at him with interest and said, "That's right. Tell me where Manager Wu has made a fortune recently."

Come on, I still remember what happened just now.

Wu Lang quickly took out the bag of hair tips, stuck out his butt, and said with a flattering look on his face: "It's all thanks to the good cultivation of the boss. My admiration for the boss is as endless as the river. "

Later, the other party signed a contract with Enlight Media. Naturally, it was not his turn to continue directing "Painted Skin 2", so Huayi simply chose a new director.

There are two movies left to be released in December, namely "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2".

Wu Lang deeply agrees with this.

But the boss is really cunning. If he makes you angry and doesn't say anything, he might find a way to steal your bonus. He has been tricked like this many times.

With Jiang Wen's urinary temperament, this film is likely to have a high reputation and a box office hit. The only competitor for "Love Is Not Blind" is "If You Are the One 2", which is basically locked in the top three at the annual box office.

Lu Yuan teased him for a while, and then focused on the script in front of him.

"It has been screened, and the previous ones were even worse." Wu Lang told the truth, feeling quite helpless.

Now, in 2010, the domestic film box office number one is "Tangshan Earthquake" with 6.73 million, and "Love Is Not Blind" ranks second with 4.92 million.

"Painted Skin 2" was produced by Huayi, directed by Wu Er, and "Four Famous Catchers" was produced by Guangguang, directed by Chen Jiashang.

"Let's wait and see." Lu Yuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and continued: "Next year, the studio will invest in the production of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" itself, and then another one. If there is no new book in the future, just choose this one."

Director Chen is miserable. "The Orphan of Zhao", a film he had been preparing for a turnaround for a long time, crashed again after it was released in early December.

The popularity of "Thirty Days of Love" has rewritten the historical record that domestic small films will become cannon fodder when encountering Hollywood blockbusters, and has emboldened domestic films.

"In the eyes of these people, I, Lu, have a sign written on my forehead that people are stupid and have too much money. Come quickly, right?"

Wu Lang nodded and mentally reviewed next year's work arrangements, including a postponed TV series "Eternal Number", a movie "Cohabitation in Time and Space", and "Search" to be determined.

There are two stacks of scripts on the table, the invitation on the left, and the Stars Project on the right.

What followed was countless invitations, endorsements, etc.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, you can't guard against him.

In just one battle, he proved his appeal and firmly established himself on the big screen.

Wu Lang: "..."

Lu Yuan flipped through the synopsis of the story. It was divided into several parts based on realistic themes. The general idea was about the various aspects of life reflected in cyber violence.

According to the current box office trend, it is difficult to break through 4000 million yuan. It cost million yuan to build a city and the total investment is hundreds of millions. Regardless of whether the cost can be recovered from other places, the box office results are really not consistent with his status as a great director.

My girlfriend used to tease her all day long and not cooperate with anything she did. Now her knees are always blue and she is very obedient.

This boss is really generous. He can easily multiply his bonus several times. In one year, the bonus alone will reach millions. Since he followed the other party, the amount in his bank card has been rising steadily.

"Qiu Yun said, you still have three bags of this kind of hair tips in your cabinet."

"Director Chen is very attentive."

Wu Lang stood aside, silent. He had read all these scripts, and that was all that was left to choose the taller one among the short ones.

If we really encounter it, the probability is extremely small.

Lu Yuan actually realized this. It is really difficult for a new director to come up with an eye-catching script.

Chen Jiasheng filmed "Painted Skin" a few years ago, in which Lu Yuan played the role of a lizard spirit.

No one is a fool. Anyone who has a good script will send it out. He must be hiding it. Most of the ones that can be sent out are of worrying quality.

After a long time, Lu Yuan tapped his index finger on the table and said hesitantly: "But his performance in the past few years is really a bit scary, as if he has been knocked down."

Wu Lang reminded: "Boss, this script is actually pretty good."

"The script is not good, it's too bad." Lu Yuan threw away "Painted Skin 2" and looked at "The Four Famous Catchers".

Lu Yuan pushed the tea leaves away, glanced at him sideways, and scolded with a smile: "It's almost done, take it away quickly, who are you showing it to."

With a cost of 1200 million, the return on investment ratio reaches a terrifying 1:40, which is unprecedented.

His face was dark and his tone was unhappy: "Next time, check the scripts you hand over first."

"Hey." Lu Yuan threw "Four Famous Catchers" into the corner and took out a new script, "Search".

Just as a sequel, the story of "Painted Skin 2" is really not very good, and the same is true of "Four Famous Catchers".

Director Chen is out of action, and Zhang Yimou has only one film this year, "Love in the Hawthorn Tree", which grossed close to 1.5 million.

Lu Yuan flipped through it briefly, and the more he flipped through it, the more annoyed he became, because many directors simply used fake scripts and handed over scripts full of loopholes.

It’s just the quality that’s hard to describe.

Tian Zhuangzhuang believes that Wen Muye is talented, pays attention to the stories of small people, and has keen observation of social reality issues. He is a good candidate for making realistic films.

But if you look closely at the short film "Stones", except for the good sense of space, the rest is a mess and the technique is too unfamiliar.

However, he still funded the other party with 50 yuan to shoot his own short film. After all, the contract had been signed for ten years, and the necessary resources still had to be provided.

After flipping through it again, he suddenly remembered something.

"How's Zhou Yi's surveillance going?"

There are many stories in his dreams that are suitable for filming into TV series. As the movies and TV series starring him are broadcast, the honor points are constantly accumulated, and more stories will appear in the future.

When he first entered the industry, he had no background, no connections, and no funds, so it was impractical to shoot rashly.

If you really want to be stupid and organize a game, it will be like a child holding gold in the busy market. Maybe you will be sold and help others count the money.

In a place like the entertainment industry, cheating and kidnapping are commonplace, and he will not act like a fool.

One moment after another, now as he has established a foothold in the entertainment industry, climbed to the top of the small screen, and connected the upstream and downstream of the entire industry, whether it is TV stations, video networks, or even theaters, he can speak.

This means that now he is really capable of filming these dream stories in the form of movies and TV series.

He can pull together a team to shoot and star by himself. He can rely on his strong appeal and long-term good reputation as a representative of Lu Yuan's masterpieces. As long as the production is completed, major TV stations will definitely grab it.

Of course, many of the stories need to be improved, and some have a high probability of failing to pass the review, and the backgrounds need to be changed. He is aware of these.

Therefore, he kept Wu Lang staring at Zhou Yi for a long time.

Wu Lang replied: "It's getting more and more chaotic. Although their filming of "Peacock Feather" is officially scheduled to be broadcast on CCTV in January next year, according to reliable information, Jiang Herou is divorcing Zhou Pin, and the company is panicked. This may very well be Zhou Yi's last play."

"Has the price relaxed?"

"No, Jiang Hurou bit it very tightly."

Lu Yuan paused as he opened the script and said, "Let Lu Jing work harder. If public opinion continues to stir up the hype, you can put away the dirty information in your hands. The price is still too high. Keep pushing down." "

"If she still insists, we will secretly contact the screenwriter and hire him with a high salary. You can give up other copyrights, but the screenwriter must be in your hands." "Okay." Wu Lang agreed.

When he turned around and went out, Lu Yuan was sitting on the chair, looking at his back, and suddenly had the illusion that he looked like a villain at this moment.

In order to take down Zhou Yi, he has been planning for a long time and can be regarded as using any means.

Well, his second uncle taught him long ago that high-end business wars often use the simplest methods.

If you have to hit the snake seven inches, you have to keep a leaf from your body. If that doesn't work, you can also grab the official seal and pour gasoline on it.

For a business deal, my second uncle once sneaked into the back kitchen to change a competitor's menu, changing the bottom of the clear soup pot into spicy red oil.

Naturally, the business with the other party was not settled, but when it was his turn to treat the guests to dinner a few days later, he was unhappy and the dishes he ordered were also changed.

When he was a child, his second uncle told him these stories. After being deeply influenced by them, Lu Yuan understood a little bit.

Public opinion sets the pace and trying to lower the price is really nothing.

……

The night was so thick that it couldn't be melted away, like a masterful painting hand, painting everything with a mysterious color.

In the capital, there were many Jinbei vans parked outside a luxury hotel.

The car was full of reporters. They had received the news early that "Thirty-three Days of Love" had ended perfectly, and the crew would hold a grand celebration banquet at this hotel.

Compared with the shabby premiere ceremony, tonight's event was very grand, with a gathering of big names.

For these reporters, this celebration banquet allows them to easily achieve their performance goals for the month.

Commercial vehicles stopped one after another in front of the hotel, and every time a person stepped out, there was a burst of flashing lights and clicking sounds.

"Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng are here together."

"Huang Xiaoming, Brother Xiaoming is also here. It is said that he was still filming on the set in the morning."

"You don't even know who the leading actor is in this drama. Their relationship is famously good in the industry."

"Zhang Li, why is Zhang Li here too?"

"Brother, you have just joined the industry not long ago. I heard that Song Jia was able to get involved in this drama because Zhang Li asked Lu Yuan for a favor."

"Hey, why does it feel like Lu Yuan knows everyone?"

"Isn't it true that an ordinary person can do this in five years?"

"And Hu Chan, Hu Chan is here too. Hey, why don't you see Yang Mi? Didn't she also guest star in this drama?"

"Who is that? Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Zhou Yang, Liu Yifei, I know, they are all classmates of Lu Yuan Beidian's class 02."

"."

In the hotel, Lu Yuan rubbed his cheek secretly. He kept smiling for too long, and his muscles had stiffened.

After returning to the capital from the crew, I signed a contract with Zhang Wenbo and Wen Muye in the afternoon, and hurried to the hotel around six o'clock. After nearly an hour, everyone finally arrived.

As a movie investor and starring actor, others can not show up, he must appear in person.

The largest banquet hall in the hotel is luxuriously decorated, spacious and brightly lit.

The banquet was already prepared, and a huge poster of "4.9 Days of Love" and a million crystal ice sculpture were hung on the stage.

Smashing crystal and ice sculptures at the celebration banquet was still a gimmick done by Huayi to increase its momentum.

On both sides of the front desk, prepared reporters were already in place, with photographers constantly looking for shooting angles.

As an investor, Lu Yuan took the stage to give a speech, repeating the same old tune, talking about interesting things that happened during the filming of the crew and his thoughts on the industry.

The colleagues at the banquet below had different thoughts.

The group of Level 02 people should be the most comfortable in the hall, eating and drinking as they mind themselves.

"Love Is Not Blind" was a hit, with Lu Yuan profiting the most, followed by the female lead Song Jia, and their classmates also made guest appearances in it, which also added a lot to themselves.

By coincidence, he responded to that sentence, and one person attained the Tao and the chicken and the dog ascended to heaven.

"You are the chicken." Zhou Yang stared at Luo Jin with contempt.

"Okay, okay, I'm a chicken." Luo Jin nodded, "Then you are a dog."

"Go away, I'll beat you up, believe it or not!" Zhou Yang stretched out his leg to kick him, but unfortunately it was a little short.

Liu Yifei sat next to him and rarely interrupted. Occasionally she raised her eyes to look at the high-spirited figure at the host table, feeling envious and a little bit regretful.

He obviously called her first.

Zhu Yawen noticed her gaze, looked at Luo Jin and said, "Lu Yuan will start a new movie next year, directing and starring himself."

Zhou Yang regained his energy, seemed to be thinking about something, and worried: "It's so fast, is it a bit impatient? He just starred in a movie."

They are all classmates and have a good relationship. Although their levels are quite different, Lu Yuan is now the golden figure of their class.

As long as you guide them a little, a few people can take off. They definitely hope that the thighs are as thick as possible, and they also hope that the other party will be more stable.

Liu Yifei also cast a worried look.

Luo Jin waved his hand: "If he dares to say that, it means he is ready."

"Oh." Zhou Yang responded, then asked shyly.

"Is there any role suitable for us? Have you decided on the female lead? Do I still have a chance? Can I apply for it? I don't want any salary."

Luo Jin scooped up a bowl of soup and stared at her: "I didn't see you drinking much champagne just now. You were thinking pretty well."

"Humph." Zhou Yang gave him a big eye roll in return.

"Who is the female lead?" Liu Yifei moved her lips, unable to hold back her curiosity after all.

Luo Jin couldn't help but smile, and stretched out his hand towards Zhu Yawen: "Give me money, and I said she must not be able to help asking."

Zhu Yawen sighed deeply and said sadly: "My sister, tell me, aren't you usually quite calm? Why can't you bear it today?"

Liu Yifei: "."

These are all bad classmates. What should I do if I really want to hit them? I will treat whoever the fairy sister loves.

"Who else could it be? His girlfriend." Zhu Yawen took out the banknotes from his wallet and explained.

"Damn it, can you fucking give me some taxi money left?" He looked at the wallet that Luo Jin had snatched away and was about to cry.

Zhou Yang put down his chopsticks, looked at the figure on the stage, and sighed: "You guys said that when we were in college, why didn't anyone in our school get him in advance? What a loss, a potential stock was actually given to an outsider."

Someone in Hengdian sneezed.

Zhou Yang and his group continued to talk nonsense here. Over there, after Lu Yuan stepped down, he was holding champagne and accepting everyone's compliments.

Some people congratulated him on making hundreds of millions, while others affirmed his star plan.

When it was Xu Zheng's turn, he heard this guy say something out of nowhere.

"Lu Yuan, I have a story, do you want to hear it?"
