China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 72: Three-person Drinking Party [Please read]

Half an hour ago, Sun Yi, Senior Brother Xing and Director Kang Honglei were eating happily.

The atmosphere of the hot pot restaurant was already very lively, and under the influence of alcohol among men, Kang Honglei no longer looked like he was preoccupied during the day, eating large chunks of meat and drinking heavily, very freely.

While the wine was in full swing, Director Kang talked about the whole story of "Soldier Assault".

At first, he watched a play called "Elna Assault" at the Comrade-in-arms Repertory Theater in Beijing. He, an old man who had served in the army, cried on the spot.

He thought it was a good story and made up his mind to film it. He found the original screenwriter Lan Xiaolong, but he didn't expect that the script was already ready-made.

What happened next was that he begged his grandfather and grandma all the way to get investment.

After Sun Yi heard this, he was also very emotional. The film and television industry is often like this. Many hits were initially disliked by no one and people disliked them. Only when they were finally aired did they become classics. For example, "Latent" only cost a small amount of investment. , there is no big scene at all.

By the way, "Latent", why did you forget about it? Has the original work been published during this time? You have to hurry up and buy the copyright.

Thinking of this, Sun Yi was a little lucky. Thanks to Director Kang talking about his road to attracting investment, which was hit by obstacles, otherwise he would have forgotten about it.

Kang Honglei drank more and more, and he really felt something. He had been preparing for this drama for almost a year, and he finally managed to get it started.

Due to limited investment, he also wanted to make the show successful and find good actors, so he went to Beijing Film Festival during the day.

He is an acting student with a professional background, his acting skills are adequate, and he doesn’t need too much money. He is really suitable for this ensemble drama.

Unexpectedly, Cui Xinqin refused, so she had no choice but to settle for some unknown actors.

He was very happy that Sun Yi offered to participate.

Kang Honglei is a pursuing director. He is assured of Sun Yi's acting skills and of course wants to put them to good use. Unfortunately, the investors have already assigned all the main roles.

I have never met Sun Yi before, otherwise I would definitely arrange a starring role for him.

Kang Honglei's glass of wine was a bit depressing. Senior Brother Xing drank the wine after watching Director Kang talk about his sad experience. The scene was a little cold for a while and he immediately changed the subject.

"Come on, Xiaoyi, senior brother, I'd like to pay you a tribute. I haven't congratulated you on your album sales yet!"

Sun Yi was a little surprised after hearing this and quickly raised his cup.

"Senior brother, have you heard of my songs?"

Xing Jiadong smiled shyly and said:

"To tell you the truth, I don't feel much about music, but my partner likes to listen to it, so I'm semi-forced to listen to it. She really likes your song, and will sign it for my senior brother later."

Sun Yi laughed, nodded and agreed:
"No problem, I must sign, as many as you want."

"But, should I say it, your song is really good. As I listened to it, I could sing along with it. That, that..."

Before he finished speaking, Xing Jiadong slapped his forehead hard, frowning and thinking, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, that one drank the wind and blew the sand."

Sun Yi looked helpless.

God, he drank the wind and blew the sand.

At this time, Kang Honglei on the side suddenly corrected:

"That's called drinking the wind and swallowing the sand."

Hey, Sun Yi was even more surprised now, and turned to look at Kang Honglei in disbelief.

Kang Honglei also looked at Sun Yi in disbelief.

"Did you sing it?"

What do you call this? Isn’t it me or you?

He nodded and replied:
"Ah, yes, Director Kang, I sang it."

Seeing Kang Honglei still looking unbelieving, Sun Yi simply sang two lines:
"I drank the wind and swallowed the sand,

The prodigal son has no money to go to a restaurant,
I heard who painted the pipa,

The spring breeze is no longer like a jackdaw..."

Listening to Sun Yi singing, Kang Honglei believed it this time and was very shocked. This song has been very popular recently and can always be heard on the street. It has a strong brainwashing effect.The meaning expressed in the lyrics is also good, which man has not been a prodigal son before.

Xing Jiadong didn't feel embarrassed when he said the wrong lyrics. It's not a big deal for his fellow students.

"Look, Xiaoyi, even Director Kang has heard of it. You are very popular now. How are you doing? How many albums have you sold?"

"Now, it has been on the market for more than a month, and there are probably more than 50 copies."

"Not bad, not bad, congratulations."

Kang Honglei on the side heard more than 50, and his expression was startled and thoughtful.

One month, more than 50 pieces.

Kang Honglei is not from the music industry, but he has been working in the entertainment industry for many years and is a director. It is inevitable that he has a few music friends around him.

He probably knows what the sales volume of this album means. It will basically not be in the top ten of the year.

These days, those who sing can make more money than those who make movies. In front of me, Sun Yi is a real financial sponsor.

I have an idea in my mind, but I keep my identity to myself and am embarrassed to say it.

After chatting for a long time, my butt felt like hemorrhoids, and I couldn't sit still. Finally, I couldn't hold it any longer and asked.

This is what I wanted Sun Yi to invest in before.

As soon as he said the words, he felt a little regretful, but he couldn't care less. He really wanted this drama to be more sophisticated.

These days, every director treats his work like his own son, hoping that his son will succeed.

The words had been said and he could not take them back. Kang Honglei simply told Sun Yi about his idea for the drama.

What kind of epic of growth, the feelings of men, with the support of troops, the weapons and equipment are all real, using war scenes to attract the audience, and so on.

They simply mistook Sun Yi for being an investor.

As for Sun Yi, he is not stupid either. In the drama "Soldiers Assault", there is a fart war scene, which is almost enough to call it a battle between police and robbers.As for the final result, he is clear about it, applauding it and not selling it out.

After the filming was completed, no TV station paid the bill at all. In the first few rounds, it was sold out at a loss, and in the end, it was so popular that it only managed to break even. From an investment perspective, this drama is really Not really good.

No one is willing to do this unprofitable business, and he is not stupid. He is just here to make connections and show his face.

He is so generous that he can even ask for no pay, but he cannot make money from it.

It's so unpredictable.

Sun Yi couldn't refuse in person, so in the end he had to say something for the occasion.

He said it was a matter of great importance and he had to go back and think about it, but he couldn't give an answer on the spot yet.

Kang Honglei also understood that if he continued to ask questions, he would be aggressive, and there was no way to do things like this.

And now that his drunkenness has dissipated a bit, he has some regrets. How could he ask for money for his first drink?

How many people are not optimistic about your show? This investment is only a small amount of millions. If it fails, no, it currently has a high probability of failure. Isn't this a trap?

……

At the end of the dinner, Sun Yi and Kang Honglei studied the schedule. He had 10 days to promote before he could join the group.

Kang Honglei said there was no problem. The crew would start shooting in a week. If it was a few days late, it wouldn't be a big problem.
