China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 717: The Billion Guarantee Rejected
"Mr. Li, yesterday Mr. Liu from JD.com came to us and said that he wanted to establish the 'Jing Entertainment Plan' with Maoyan.

The two parties will give full play to their respective core advantages, lay the foundation for strategic cooperation in content modules such as movies, performances, sports, peripheral derivatives and IP, gradually realize the integration of online and offline businesses, and work together to lay out the pan-entertainment era."

Zheng Zhihao reported to Li Mu on the phone.

Recently, after the negotiations between Maoyan and Weying were completed, there have been many follow-up matters.

"JD." Li Mu thought for a moment, "That's fine, but we can start cooperation after the merger is completed."

JD.com currently has a high-quality active user base of over 2 million, and can also provide a high-quality user base for the development of the pan-entertainment industry.

JD.com's own advantages in integrated marketing, publicity and promotion can also provide Maoyan with the high-quality resources needed for brand and business development.

It's a win-win situation.

Pan-entertainment is also the future path that Maoyan will take after the merger and completion of the micro-film era. After all, being limited to a ticketing platform means that the subsequent development space is still too small and is not beneficial.

On the other side, Ning Hao, who had been silent for a long time, finally had news.

"Following Crazy Stone and Crazy Racing, yesterday, the final chapter of Ning Hao's Crazy Trilogy, Crazy Alien, was announced to start filming in Qingdao, and it is tentatively scheduled to be released on the first day of the Chinese New Year in 2019.

The film is inspired by Liu Cixin's short science fiction novel "The Rural Teacher" and will continue the style of the absurd black comedy in the "Crazy" series.

Huang Bo and Shen Teng will jointly play the leading roles, while Xu Zheng will be the motion capture actor for the aliens in the film."

"."

Ning Hao's Crazy series is still quite popular both inside and outside the industry, but netizens still complain about it again and again.

"Ning Hao's cast really remains unchanged for thousands of years."

"Hahaha, Crazy Trilogy, every tune has Huang Bo!"

"."

"Look, people are complaining about him." Xing Aina was also in Qingdao, happily complaining about Ning Hao.

"Hiroko is so useful, he can play any role. If I don't use him, who else should I use?"

Ning Hao didn't think there was anything wrong with his choice at all.

"Okay, Director Ning, tell us if you need anything. Wanda lacks nothing except land."

As Wanda is the second largest investor in this film, Zeng Maojun also gave Ning Hao a lot of convenience. After all, Qingdao is Wanda's territory.

"Sorry to bother Director Zeng."

Ning Hao smiled lightly.

With Zeng Maojun's departure, Xing Aina was also very emotional.

"Mengying Media has connections everywhere in the industry now. Look at your salary. Wanda offers you such a good salary."

"That's normal. After all, I'm making money for Wanda."

Ning Hao felt no guilt at all. He just enjoyed himself. Who wouldn't want such a good shooting environment?

"Just show off." Xing Aina rolled her eyes at Ning Hao, then suddenly said, "I don't know if Xixi has returned from Australia. I haven't seen the little bun for a long time. The baby is so cute."

Ning Hao smiled and whispered in Xing Ai's ear: "How about we have a girl?"

".You have the gene."

Xing Aina's eyes were full of disgust.

"You sound like you're that good!"

"Ning Hao, are you looking for death?"

"."

Liu Yifei certainly didn't know that Xing Aina was still thinking about Xiao Baozi. She was currently playing in the international theme park with Xiao Baozi, Li's mother, Liu's mother and others.

The little Baozi was very curious and insisted on walking and looking around by himself. He stopped and walked a lot and didn't visit many places along the way.

"Your daughter is really capable of making trouble."

Liu Yifei complained to Li Mu. At this time, the crew had finally finished the scene where Mera was chasing on the roof. Everyone was taking a break at the moment, and Li Mu took advantage of this free time to make a phone call.

"You're talking as if she's not your daughter." Li Mu smiled, "It's great to have her active. It's better for a child to be active than to be quiet and dazed all day."

"."

After a short break, the intense shooting continued as usual.

According to the plan, the principal photography of "Aquaman" should be completed around October, and the current progress is still normal.

On the other hand, the domestic film and television circles are still calm, as if everyone is waiting for a new hit to emerge. The news that the Venice International Film Festival is about to open has sparked some heated discussion.

However, the popularity of Venice today is much lower than before and is far less than that of Berlin and Cannes.

Instead, it was a report in Taiwanese media that sparked the war.

At the end of August, Taiwanese media reported that Jay Chou had a new girlfriend, describing him as the actor who "forcibly kissed Ruby Lin", and then it was pushed back to mainland entertainment news.

Immediately, all major websites started to post articles like "Lin Xinru reveals she was so sick of filming a kissing scene with this man that she vomited" and "bad breath" and so on. The embarrassing thing is that one of the articles even wrote Zhou Jie as Zhou Jielun.
Jay Chou would probably want to hit someone after seeing this. The article also included a video of Ruby Lin participating in "Kangxi Comes Here" in 2004. In the show, Ruby Lin revealed that when filming "My Fair Princess", Jay Chou was so devoted to his performance that he not only forced his tongue into her mouth, but also hit her teeth.

After this old video was exposed, it immediately sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

Because a few years ago, because of rumors that Jay Chou forcibly kissed Ruby Lin during filming, various media outlets angrily scolded Jay Chou and pitied Ruby Lin:
"Poor Lin Xinru, who was still a newcomer at the time, had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere. I am very scared when I think about it. Jay Chou is not a human being."

"Zhou Jie's character is questionable!"

"."

You should know that 20 years ago, "My Fair Princess" was popular all over Asia, and was popular in China, Japan and South Korea. The highest ratings exceeded 62.8%, which has not been matched by any TV series to date.

The actors have become household idol stars in the past 20 years.

So when Ruby Lin broke the news, it became a huge sensation.

Many years later, it is still regarded as a typical case of a male actor taking advantage of others, and is talked about by netizens. Zhou Jie's character has also been criticized by many netizens.

What was surprising was that Jay Chou suddenly responded to this matter:
"My loser friend, have you ever thought about this: if I really forcibly kissed someone with tongue, why didn't she protest on the spot? In their crew, are the on-site staff and directors all my relatives?"

The truth of the past was revealed on Weibo. The other party looked down on mainland Chinese and pointed the sword at the media that followed suit:
"The saddest thing is that we, the mainland country bumpkins, actually believed these things and helped the evil. Don't you think it's sad or not? This has also become my crime. I can only say that I, a mainlander, am not worthy of filming such a drama with the upper class."

"."

After many years, the hot topic has reappeared. Netizens don’t know whether it is because of the "tea eggs" incident in recent years, but this time they all expressed their support for Zhou Jie.

"To be honest, I don't really like the actor who plays Ziwei"

In the evening, Li Mu was discussing this matter with Liu Yifei, and Li's mother also interjected.

"Why?" Li Mu was very curious. After all, weren't it Li's mother and others who were most enthusiastic about watching "My Fair Princess" back then?

"She feels a bit pretentious. As for the character, it is Zhao Yanzi who is likable." Li's mother commented lightly.

"But is this true or false?"

Everyone is curious about gossip. After all, truth and falsehood are always attractive.

“I feel that with Jay Chou’s status back then, it would have been impossible for him to bully Ruby Lin on the set, and there was no need to do it in secret.

And from my professional perspective, that shot of his should be the backlight of Jay Chou's lips, not this."

Li Mu's confident words were met with Liu Yifei's teasing, "Is your major used to analyze things like this?"

"Isn't this just to recreate the situation on the scene?" Li Mu smiled and shrugged.

It is indeed much more comfortable to have my family with me when filming, although it is still very busy during the day.

"."

The 3.0 of the kissing battle between Erkang and Ziwei is now causing quite a stir. I guess Ruby Lin herself didn't expect that the video from many years ago would be brought out again. Her character was not established to begin with, and now she is even more unlikable.

The first Hollywood blockbuster in the film and television industry was released in September.

The performance of "Dunkirk" can only be described as very average, with a first-day box office of 5700 million. It is obvious that Chinese people are not very interested in it.

The cinema chains were a little disappointed, and even Mengying Media's cinema data forecast report was adjusted. It was obvious that they were too optimistic about September. The heavy blow at the beginning forced the data to be readjusted.

Li Mu also learned from Wang Changtian that many theaters were complaining that this year's box office did not seem to be very good and they could not make much money.

Li Mu just smiled at this.

It’s good enough to make money now, and there are only two years left before the good days of cinemas.

"Wolf Warrior 2" and "Sky Hunter" have quickly dominated the headlines of major entertainment media. The two main theme movies seem to be competing with each other.

At this time, a rumor came out that "Sky Hunter" refused the 1 billion guarantee from the distributor.

The producer even stood up and said: "They have guaranteed the bottom line, the idea of ​​publicity and distribution will not be according to your ideas, I hope it will be according to my ideas"

This was a very successful promotion for "Sky Hunter" and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

After all, there is the much-talked-about character Fan Binbin in the film, and she looks very beautiful in the stills.

"Awesome, pretty awesome."

Li Mu couldn't help laughing when he heard Wu Jing talking about the recent competitors of "Wolf Warrior 2".

The ambition is quite big, but once the box office results come out, I'm afraid I'll regret it.

"We just need to keep up with the normal promotions and put more effort into Douyin."

Compared to his calmness in "Wolf Warrior 2", Li Chen's confidence is unprecedentedly high now.

Having given up on the 1 billion guarantee, they must be aiming for 20 to 30 billion.

“Are we really safe this way?”

Fan Binbin still really wants to sign the contract with a guaranteed minimum salary. After all, he has been acting in movies for so long that the uncontrollable risks have become ingrained in his bones.

"Don't worry, you see, Mengying Media's Wolf Warrior 2 also didn't release it for a guaranteed minimum. billion is too low. Our movie will get at least billion, and we will earn this money ourselves."
