China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 177 Launch Conference and New Investment
8 month 10 number.

Yanjing.

Shangri-La Hotel.

The crew of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" held a launch press conference here. Although after the Olympics started, the eyes of the people across the country were focused on the Olympics.

But there are still many reporters present today.

Hundreds of media from all walks of life were present, including traditional print media, major portals, and entertainment media, all of which basically sent teams.

The reason why so many media come here is 6% because of Boss Lu's face, [-]% because of Huayi, [-]% because of the light, [-]% because of Ning Hao, and the others share [-]%.

The media is so realistic, they will report on whoever is popular.

Lu Yuan's new album continues to sell well. In the North American market, it has never fallen out of the top ten of the Billboard album chart since its release.

Last week, the sales of Lu Yuan's first English album officially surpassed that of rapper Lil Wayne, becoming the best-selling album in the North American market this year.

Now that there are still a few months until the end of the year, we can directly call it the number one sales volume of the year.

Of course, there is a suspicion of popping champagne at halftime.

But there are always dreams.

According to the album sales trend chart in the past few months, Lu Yuan has a high probability of winning the first place in North America in 2008.

The strong performance in the international market can also be reflected through the seats at the press conference.

On the stage, Boss Lu was sitting in seat C.

On the left is Huayi Wang Zhongjun, on the right is Guangguang Wang Changtian, and next to them are Ning Hao and Zeng Li.

Deng Chao and Xu Zheng sat on both sides.

([Deng][Ning][Wang][Lu][Wang][Zeng][Xu])
Xie Nan and Liu Yan, the leading ladies of Enlight Media, were the hosts of this press conference.

After a while of interaction, the press conference fast forwarded to the reporter's question session.

"Lu Yuan, you have never made a movie before. "Living Together" is your first movie. As a singer, are you confident that you can deliver a performance that meets the expectations of your fans?"

The first person to ask questions was the reporter from the film newspaper.

Of course, as usual, this is a care arranged in advance.

"I can't answer this question. Whether it can be performed well or not is not up to me. It should be left to the market to judge."

Immediately afterwards, the press conference was carried out in an orderly manner.

The person who was asked the most questions was naturally Lu Yuan, followed by Ning Hao, Zeng Li, then Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, and Deng Chao and Xu Zheng were at the bottom.

very realistic.

Xu Zheng was in the drama circle in his early days. He became famous in the [-]'s "Springtime" and later starred in many TV series.

In the film industry, he currently only has one masterpiece - "Crazy Stone".

The situation of Deng Chao is similar, both of them have recently switched to the big screen.

Although Zeng Li can't compare to them in terms of works, as Lu Yuan's rumored girlfriend, she has received far more attention than the two of them.

Just like Kun Ling, the sister-in-law of the Heavenly King, after her relationship with Jay Chou was exposed, this name quickly became popular and spread all over the country.

Being treated differently by the media at the scene, Xu Zheng and Deng Chao must have felt a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do about it, the entertainment industry was such a reality.

Even if you feel uncomfortable, you have to come.

Deng Chao was brought here personally by the boss of Huayi, and Xu Zheng was almost the same. He was called over by Ning Hao.

Actors also need exposure.

Although they are green leaves today, not everyone can be a green leaf.

After the press conference, Lu Yuan and his group took a minibus to Xingchen Media.

On the way back, Lu Yuan sat next to Xu Zheng. Both of them were from Modu and were considered fellow villagers.

"Brother Zheng, our company has a script, are you interested in acting in it?"

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Lu Yuan got straight to the point and sent an audition invitation to Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Have a notebook?
It doesn't sound like "Cohabitation in Time and Space".

After a few breaths, he nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, of course there is."

"OK, I'll ask the director to contact Brother Zheng later."

The book Lu Yuan mentioned is called "Supermarket", and it also has another name "Nightclub".Lu Yuan was quite surprised when he received this book.

Last month, after the plan to support new directors was revealed, Star Media successively received many scripts. At first, the script for "Supermarket" was directly screened out.

Later, when Lu Yuan was checking his mailbox, he rediscovered the script.

Then, he contacted new director Yang Qing.

Yang Qing was screened out, and the staff cannot be entirely blamed.

After all, in the film industry at this time, Yang Qing was still unavailable, and his resume was not impressive enough.

Although Yang Qing graduated from the China National Theater Academy, he graduated from the China National Theater Adult Education College [Drama Director Class].

Nothing works.

Nor is he from a serious academic background.

If Lu Yuan didn't know about the results of "Nightclub", he would probably ignore it.

However, he criticized the reviewers afterwards.

In the future, this review standard will need to be revised.

The script and director's resume are equally important.

If the script is outstanding enough, contact the contributor first and then review it separately.

If the director's ability is not up to standard, he can buy the script and let Star Media film it himself.

The space in the minibus was not large, and Lu Yuan and Xu Zheng did not deliberately lower their voices, so their conversation immediately attracted the attention of others.

Deng Chao actually wanted to say, Mr. Lu, look at me.

I am cheap and live well.

It's just that he was too embarrassed to say that.

The boss of Guangguang and director Ning Hao are all in the car!
He is, after all, a new student, doesn’t he want to lose face?

"Mr. Lu, does your Star Media have new movie plans?"

Wang Zhongjun, who was sitting next to Deng Chao, didn't have so many scruples and expressed with a smile.

"Not really." Lu Yuan said bluntly: "The new movie I just mentioned to Brother Zheng is part of the [Young Director Support Program]. I thought the film was good, so I invested 300 million."

When he heard that the investment amount was only 300 million, Wang Zhongjun was immediately disappointed.

Huayi really wants to cooperate with Lu Yuan.

But how to divide the 300 million investment?
Not interesting.

Still a new director.

Whether the movie will be successful or not is completely unpredictable.

Do you really think every director is Ning Hao?
Not only Wang Zhongjun, but also Wang Changtian and Deng Chao lost interest.

300?
Once the pay is gone, what's left?
Although Xu Zheng was a little disappointed, he was different from Deng Chao in that he and Ning Hao both signed under CAA.

CAA is definitely a well-known brand and celebrity agency in America, but in China, CAA has just started.

CAA only entered the Chinese market in 05. Currently, it only has brokerage business and has not yet been involved in film and television production.

Therefore, he does not have any good film and television resources at hand.

It doesn't matter if the investment is smaller, because now he is not qualified to choose a script or a company.

Eat it in your stomach first.

Besides, it doesn't matter if the movie fails, at least he can still gain connections from Star Media.

'300 million investment? '

'How about reducing your pay, or simply starring for zero pay? '

Since he wanted to take advantage of Star Media, he simply sent Buddha to the West.

To be honest, there is not much difference between the salary of 30 and 50 for Xu Zheng.

The extra 20 to 30 yuan would not be able to change his life immediately.

Instead of doing this, it's better to reduce the salary "for the sake of the movie" and gain some favor.

Lu Yuan's favor is not worth more than 30 or 50?
