China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 387 Big news that shocked the entertainment industry

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhangjiang Hi-Tech.

Nearly a hundred media attended the "Zhu Xian" comic adaptation press conference. Half of these media came because of Lu Yuan.

The remaining half is due to Boss Chen, and the last quarter is due to factors such as works, online articles, etc.

This is normal.

In about 10 years, the influence of Internet articles has not broken through. In the eyes of mainstream media, Internet articles have a somewhat unhealthy color.

Many of the works being serialized are similar to pornographic novels.

The classic harem novel "The Girl Next Door is Coming of Age" is astonishingly large in scale.

Clear literature like "The Change of Stars" and "Zhu Xian" are a breath of fresh air.

After the press conference began, Shanda Literature President Hou Daqiang took the stage to speak, vividly describing the blueprint of Shanda Entertainment's plan.

Finally, he concluded.

"The adaptation of "Zhu Xian" is just the first step for Shanda. In the future, more and more works will be put on the Internet, on the small screen, and even on the big screen!"

"thank you all!"

Snapped!

Snapped!

After the speech ended, there was a round of applause as usual, and then the press conference continued in an orderly manner.

soon.

The reporter interview session begins.

"Hello, Lu Yuan, I am Southern Weekend reporter Wu Bin."

"In the mainstream media, Internet articles have always been labeled as cultural waste. What prompted you to choose to adapt Internet articles?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly. He did not answer the reporter's question directly, but first threw out a set of data.

"According to the latest report released by the China Internet Information Center, the number of online literature users in my country reached more than 2009 million in ."

“Becoming the fourth largest online entertainment method after online music, videos, and games.”

"In 09, the number of Internet users in our country was 3.84 million. That is to say, one out of every three people online has been exposed to online articles."

"The ratio is not too high."

"The Duke of Zhou once said that literary and artistic workers should respect the culture that the people like to hear and see."

"I'm licking my face here and can barely be considered a literary and artistic worker. Adapting Internet novels is just an attempt."

"As for the problems you mentioned in online articles, they do exist, but it is undeniable that online articles have become part of the current culture, especially among young people."

"Mr. Hou just said that in the future, the works will be put on the small screen and even the big screen. In fact, Star Media is already preparing to do this."

"Xingchen Media has reached a consensus with Shanda, Perfect and many other investors and is preparing to put the story of "Zhu Xian" on the big screen."

"Total investment, 100 million!"

"Beautiful knife!"

Upon hearing the news of 100 million, the reporters at the scene did not react much. After all, the movies invested by Boss Lu easily exceeded 100 million.

One hundred million RMB?

Basic fuck!

But as soon as the word '美刀' came out at the end, the scene suddenly became a lot noisier. It turned into a vegetable market in an instant, and there were even a few exclamations from the back row.

According to the latest US dollar exchange rate, 6.9 million US dollars is approximately equal to million RMB.

The first domestic blockbuster film to be invested with U.S. dollars is here?

Was it announced so hastily?

Although all the investment in "Zhu Xian" has not been completed, it does not prevent Boss Lu from directly launching the project.

in fact.

It is indeed difficult to invest in this area, but it is not too great.

Regarding the film adaptation of "Zhu Xian", apart from Lu Yuan, the person who cared most about it was Boss Chen.

As the first online novel to be put on the big screen, it has extremely special significance for Boss Chen and Shanda Literature.

If the movie is successful, it will make money even if it doesn't make money.

Once "Zhu Xian" is successfully adapted, the value of the online copyrights owned by Shanda Literature will inevitably rise.

An increase of hundreds of thousands or millions may not seem like much, but when you add up, it is an extremely astonishing figure, not to mention the impact on the stock price.

Therefore, even though Shanda's financial situation was not very good, he still spent 20 million US dollars and invested heavily in shares.

Compared to the arrogant Boss Chen, Perfect was too picky, and in the end only invested 8 million U.S. dollars.

As of now, there is still a shortfall of 72 million in overall investment.

Next, the reporters at the press conference were all excited, and all the questions focused on the "Zhu Xian" movie.

But who is Boss Lu?

He is well versed in traffic hype, how could he answer directly?

No matter how reporters asked him, he always said one thing.

[Today is the press conference for the comic book adaptation of "Zhu Xian". For movie-related information, please follow the official Weibo account of Xingchen Media.]

On the other side, Xiao Ding, who was sitting in the third seat on the right, was in a state of confusion the whole time.

thump!

thump!

He clearly felt his heart beating faster and faster.

A movie adaptation of "Zhu Xian"?

Invest $100 million?

He actually knew a little bit about the film adaptation, but that was only because Star Media had purchased the film and television rights.

Others, such as the specific project establishment time and shooting plan, are not known at all.

Before the press conference ended, the editor of the on-site portal edited the manuscript and published it directly.

[Breaking news: Lu Yuan announced the adaptation plan of "Zhu Xian", with an estimated investment of over 100 million US dollars]

[The birth of the first film in film history with an investment of over 100 million US dollars - "Zhu Xian"]

[On the scene of the Zhu Xian comic adaptation, Lu Yuan suddenly announced that he expected to invest US$100 million to shoot the first domestic fairy tale masterpiece]

……

then.

The book fan circle exploded.

【Fuck, fuck! Is Zhu Xian going to be made into a movie? 】

[Lu Yuan is awesome! 】

[One hundred million US dollars, one hundred million US dollars, that’s so fucking awesome! 】

[Let’s take a guess at how to choose the cast? Zhang Xiaofan, I vote for Lu Yuan! 】

[Is Lu Yuan too handsome? In the original work, Zhang Xiaofan doesn’t seem to be very handsome, just mediocre]

[Gu Thien Lat is still mediocre, don’t care, he’ll be handsome! 】

……

Immediately afterwards, the media, film and television circles, and entertainment circles all exploded.

Related terms such as #鲁元诛仙#, #100millionUSD#, #诛仙电影# and other related terms quickly hit the top three hot searches for neck scarves: Tengxun, Xinlang, and Sohu.

Take first place in all.

hum!

hum!

The mobile phone in Lu Yuan's pocket directly turned into a vibrator, and all kinds of text messages were flying.

While he was off stage, Lu Yuan took out his cell phone and took a few glances.

[Huang Xiaomin: Brother, give me a chance to audition. You can choose the schedule and any role.]

[Cai Yinong: Ayuan, when do you have time, can we meet for tea? 】

[Fan Xiaopang: Mr. Lu, this is Binbin. My friend brought me a bottle of 82 Romanee-Conti. If you have time, can we have a drink together? 】

[Ye Ning (General Manager of Wanda Cinemas): Mr. Lu, do you still have a share? Less than 20 million U.S. dollars, just say a word and the money will arrive in the afternoon]

……

hum!

hum!

Before I finished reading the text message, Han Sanping called.

"Hey, third uncle."

"Xiaoyuan, I just saw the news. Are you going to be so big this time?"

"Third uncle, please give me such praise. Compared with China Film Group, we are just making a small fuss."

"You are still making a fuss, so who are the others?" Han Sanping said cheerfully: "Let's not talk about this anymore, do you have confidence in the new movie?" "I definitely have confidence, but I will tell you whether you can get back your money. I don't dare to vouch for it." Lu Yuan paused slightly and said, "Third uncle, I won't hide anything from you."

"It will definitely be difficult to invest 100 million U.S. dollars and rely solely on the domestic market to recover the capital. The key depends on the overseas market."

"I don't know whether foreign countries will buy into the fairy tale theme."

"Row."

Han Sanping chuckled and said on the spot: "With your words, I feel relieved. China Film will give you 10 million US dollars."

"Thank you, third uncle, for your trust!"

Later, the two laughed and chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Just as the call here was disconnected, Uncle Li's call came in again.

Half an hour later, Lu Yuan put down his hot phone.

Thank goodness it's not a Samsung phone.

The people on the phone call just now were all old acquaintances. China Film, Chinese Culture, Wanda, Enlight, and Huayi all contacted me one by one.

After the phone call, 100 million US dollars was collected!

China Film Investment Corporation invested US$10 million.

Wanda: $1500 million.

Chinese Culture: US$800 million

Shanda: US$2000 million

Perfect: $800 million

Light: $500 million

Huayi Brothers: US$500 million

The remaining US$2900 million will be funded by Star Media.

If other film and television companies find out, I'm afraid they will faint in the toilet from crying.

One hundred million dollars, a few phone calls, and the deal was concluded without even meeting in person?

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the share can be collected so quickly.

What did Lu Yuan use to build his reputation?

success!

Music, TV, movies, wherever he attacks, he never fails.

In the eyes of superstitious people, this is his destiny.

What to do, what to do!

Let alone 100 million US dollars, with the 'miracles' he had achieved before, doubling the investment would not be a problem.

of course.

If "Zhu Xian" fails miserably at the box office, the next investment won't be so easy to justify.

They are all masters of the situation.

No matter what the future holds, Lu Yuan's brand is still very good at the moment. With a hundred million dollars, all the funds were found in less than a day.

This time, Star Media’s share seems to be only 29%, but that’s not how it is calculated in terms of box office share.

Lu Yuan's personal salary is US$10 million + % of the box office share.

After conversion, Star Media’s share ratio is 39%.

Moreover, the final decision-making power is also in the hands of Xingchen Media.

At first glance, this sounds like an overbearing clause.

However, China Film, Wanda and other investors have no objections to this.

In short, it's a seller's market.

Star Media is the stronger party. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to participate. Some people want to send money.

If Boss Lu is more evil and wants to raise funds or something, as long as he lets the word out and doesn’t dare to say too much, and raises US$5-6 million, there will be no problem at all.

After all, there are too many people begging to get on the bus.

……

……

The cast of "The Secret Fan of Snowflakes".

"Binbin, please read this news."

"What news?"

Li Binbin took the mobile phone handed over by her sister, and then she saw the news about the movie "Zhu Xian".

One hundred million dollars?

Play so big?

If it were another company, Li Binbin would feel that the other party was lying, but Lu Yuan rarely did such things.

Everyone in the circle knows it.

After a few glances, Li Binbin returned the phone to his sister.

"Binbin, why don't you call Mr. Wang?"

Li Hed's words speak for themselves. She wants her sister to have a relationship with her, at least to have a chat first.

If you can star in a heroine with a salary of 100 million US dollars, you will have to step aside for any role, such as Fan Xiaopang, or any international chapter.

"Don't think about it. Star Media's movies will definitely not use outsiders as the female lead."

"What if?"

Although Li Hedong also knows the employment habits of Xingchen Media, who can say for sure about this kind of thing.

With an investment of US$100 million, the investor must not be alone.

It’s impossible for all other investors to comply with Lu Yuan’s wishes, right?

"Sister, nothing happens."

Li Binbin shook his head and said: "There are some things you don't know. Many investors in our country are very superstitious. For people like Lu Yuan who have always been successful, most of them will agree to no matter how outrageous the conditions are."

"So, don't even think about the female lead."

(PS: Li Hedong is younger than Li Binbin, but as an actress, age is a sensitive point. She previously told the public that Li Hedlock was her sister.)

"Don't rush to make conclusions." Li He said, "I'll look at the original work of "Zhu Xian" first to see if there is a role suitable for you. If you can't play a role with a female lead, you might still have a chance with a double female cast."

"Well, you go."

Hearing this, Li Binbin did not refuse.

The two sisters had a tacit understanding and did not mention other roles because their roles did not allow it.

Li Binbin is not only the queen of the Four Dancing Stars, but also the queen of the Golden Horse, Hundred Blossoms, and Huabiao. Due to her status, she is not allowed to be paired with other people, and she has to be the number one female star at the end of the day.

The battle for position is very important.

Between losing her role and not acting, she would rather choose not to act.

of course.

If Star Media pitches a Hollywood production, she can play the second female lead.

But "Zhu Xian" is obviously not a Hollywood work, and the audience for fairy tale dramas can only be in Asia.

……

Little stick.

The cast of "Drop Day".

Recently, Fan Xiaopang has been very proud. On the 11th, the Tokyo International Film Festival announced the nomination list. Fan Binbin was nominated for the Best Actress at the Tokyo International Film Festival for "Guanyin Mountain".

Both are Category A international film festivals. Although the Tokyo Film Festival is not as good as Cannes, Venice, and Berlin, the three major European film festivals, it at least has an international reputation.

No, Fan Binbin is already planning to take leave from the crew and go to Tokyo to attend the closing ceremony.

Now, the movie she is filming is a war movie co-produced by Xiaobangzi and Lao America. The main plot is the Normandy landing in World War II.

Although the role is not heavy, it is barely enough to show off his face and pave the way for his future international expansion.

After sending the invitation to Lu Yuan, Fan Binbin put down the phone and began to frown and think about whether there was any way to win the role of "Zhu Xian".

Even if there is little hope, she will not give up.

It's a pity that Lu Yuan is a poor guy. When a beauty like him comes to his door, the other party is actually indifferent.

More than once!

If she hadn't known that this guy had given birth to a child, she would even suspect that Lu Yuan didn't like women.

After thinking for a long time, Fan Binbin couldn't find any good way.

The circles she is now in contact with are mostly Hong Kong and Taiwanese investors. This is related to Mu Xiaoguang's network of contacts. He started his career in Wanwan.

"Apple", "Shinjuku Incident", "Guanyin Mountain", and "New Shaolin Temple" are all movies dominated by the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, and Lu Yuan is not in the same circle as her at all.
