During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 214 Tianxian’s new attempt creates a new era

The box office of "The Martian" remains strong. Even though it has been released for more than ten days, the single-day box office is still over 2000 million, which is unbeatable.

All the film and television companies in the circle saw it with red eyes and only regretted that they could not get on the train, especially Huayi, which is seeking to go public. This kind of science fiction blockbuster with global influence is simply the best. Hype stunt.

Wanda and Fiber Optic have been very popular recently, and this time they will make a lot of money following Wei Jin.

However, Wei Jin has a hunch that the subsequent cooperation with Wanda may not be so harmonious, because they will officially enter the film and television industry next year.

Fiber Optics can continue to cooperate. Wang Changtian still has two skills. He won the "Chinese Drama Ceremony" event, which means Fiber Optics has another pair of good cards in hand.

Wei Jin was a little surprised when he received a call from Han Sanping.

"Wei Jin, it's a good thing that I listened to you and didn't sell the copyright, otherwise the profit would be at least half reduced."

Just by listening to the voice on the phone, Wei Jin knew that Han Sanping was in a good mood.

It's no wonder that two days ago, the film bureau leaders publicly stated that "The Martian" is a benchmark for science fiction films, which made Han Sanping feel proud.

"If Summit Entertainment didn't take over the distribution, I would really rather sell the rights."

What Wei Jin said is true. The six gangsters have strong distribution capabilities, but they are also deceptive. Cooperating with the six gangsters and selling off the copyright is the most worry-free way.

But this time he didn't make less money. At least the issuance fee was collected according to the standards of the Big Six.

"Yeah, it's a good idea to borrow this boat. By the way, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", do you want to come and direct a short episode in name?"

"I asked you why you called me. It turns out you are waiting for me here."

China Film only announced this project two days ago. It will be directed by Han Sanping himself and co-directed by multiple directors.

This is different from what Wei Jin knew before. It is estimated that Han Sanping came here to win over people. After all, it is an honor to participate in such a project with special significance. Secondly, he also wanted to share the pressure. If something went wrong, he would not be able to win over others. Don't blame everyone.

At present, Feng Dapao, Chen Shishi, Chen Kexin and others have accepted the invitation and will join the directing team for free, under the leadership of Han Sanping.

In addition, there are hundreds of stars who have joined the cast, and they also appear with zero pay. This is not entirely Wei Jin's fault, they are all voluntary.

"I'll forget it. If you tell me my name, I'll probably be suppressed."

Wei Jin is really too lazy to participate. When the time comes, it will be difficult to deal with being targeted by the die-hards. However, just because he does not participate does not mean that the company cannot participate.

"But in terms of roles, I can recommend one to you. Zhang Yi, what do you think?"

After the road show, Wei Jin signed Zhang Yi. This guy was so moved. After so many years, he finally had a backer.

"Well, this person was in the army before, right?"

"Correct."

"Okay, let him audition."
-

After more than half a month, Wei Jin finally completed the post-production of "Hunting".

After arranging for personnel to be sent to Berlin, Wei Jin attended the final press conference of "Sword and Sword III", which was what he had promised before.

There were many film and television companies, media, and artists present. Ms. Cai was very happy. She couldn't invite so many people just relying on the influence of Sugar Man. Inviting Wei Jin was a great move.

In the venue, stills of the protagonists in "Sword and Sword III" were printed on large promotional posters.

Facing reporters, Ms. Cai talked freely and was full of confidence in the TV series.

Frankly speaking, "Fairy Sword III" will not be worse than "Fairy Sword One", Wei Jin actually agrees with this.

Then the focus was on introducing Liu Shishi in front of the media. His guest appearance in "The Martian" was also mentioned repeatedly. It can be seen that Sugar Man is trying to praise Liu Shishi.

But I keep bringing up Liu Yifei for comparison, which means I am not clear-headed. For now, the gap between the two is too big. This kind of hype will only bring bad luck to Liu Shishi.

Wei Jin didn't stay long. After making an appointment with Liu Shishi to go to Wushan in the evening, he left. There were really too many artists and film and television companies who were interested in him, and he was too lazy to deal with them.

News about "Chinese Sword and Fairy Sword" soon appeared on the Internet, and various stills and behind-the-scenes footage were released one after another, attracting the attention of a large number of "Chinese Sword and Sword One" fans.

With the popularity so high, many TV stations have already come to contact the TV series before it has finished the post-production, and they are all on Star TV. This treatment is much better than the treatment of "Sword and Sword One".

Ms. Cai increasingly felt that there were too many benefits from cooperating with Wei Jin, and wondered whether to add a few more weights to bring the relationship closer.

"Well, the art exam is about to start again. Let's see if we can find any good talent."
-

Yinghuang, in an office.

"Danny hasn't replied yet?"

It has been more than a month since the celebration party of "Ip Man 2". Zhen Zi neither agreed nor refused the million salary, and just kept dragging on. Boss Yang was almost out of patience.

"No, his agent said that there have been too many announcements recently and he is too busy. When he is free, he will come to visit you in person."

Huo Wenxi is also a little confused about Zhen Bullet's sexy operation. Do you really think that without him Zhang Butcher in the "Ip Man" series, he can only eat pigs with hair on them?

What's more, Zhen Zhan is still an actor in Xiangjiang. He doesn't give the Emperor face like this. Let alone a top star who has just become popular. Even if Cheng Long comes, he has to weigh it.

"Hey, then I'll wait for his personal visit."

Although Boss Yang said it easily, his face was already a bit sulky. Some people are really ungrateful after becoming famous.

"By the way, what did Jiang Wen say?"

Boss Yang is still very concerned about Jiang Wen's project.

"Oh, I was just about to report to you. Director Jiang said that the script still needs to be polished, but this time, he plans to use big-name stars."

"Meaning, this movie might cost a lot?"

Boss Yang nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, and then added something.

"If you reply to him, I will support him within 1.5 million."

"The Martian" allowed Boss Yang to see the potential of the mainland film market. The box office of a movie can really exceed 5 million. Unfortunately, Wei Jin's car is not that easy to get, at least Yinghuang can no longer provide equivalent value. .

"Mani, you need to strengthen your relationship with Shi Nansheng"

Hearing this, Huo Wenxi nodded. She understood what her boss meant. Jiahe's projects were all scripts provided by Wei Jin. If they were really done, they would not be worse than the "Ip Man" series. And since Jiahe directly proposed multi-party cooperation, Wei Jin would definitely not refuse. The boss is really smart.——

In late December, Suzhou Satellite TV launched a large-scale life service program, "If You Are the One".

Since its launch, it has quickly become the most popular variety show at the end of 08 due to its novel program format, numerous hot topics, sharp and spicy language, and many upright female guests.

After only two episodes were aired, the ratings have already exceeded 4 and aroused widespread social discussion.

Everyone on the stage in Suzhou is very satisfied with this. According to this trend and popularity, "If You Are the One" is very likely to become a phenomenal variety show.

Although it gave up 50% of its advertising revenue, after two episodes of the program, Jiangsu TV's advertising quotation has increased by 30%. As the ratings increase in the future, it is entirely possible to double or triple it. It is simply a huge profit. .

More importantly, this program can be broadcast weekly throughout the year, and it can completely serve as Suzhou TV's flagship variety show to support the stage.

You know, a top variety show with huge marketing power not only increases advertising revenue, but also brings great benefits to the TV station.

For example, Mango Channel ranks first among local satellite TVs, which is largely due to the reputation accumulated by "Happy Camp" and "Super Girl".

The recent strong rise of Modu TV is also inseparable from the blessing of the popular variety show "The Voice".

Even for many viewers, TV dramas can be broadcast on any station. Except when they are watching dramas, they will deliberately remember the TV station that broadcasts them. The rest of the time they do not pay attention to them. However, most variety shows are exclusively broadcast. This is a TV station's responsibility. Signboard and the capital to stabilize the audience group.

However, what made Wei Jin dumbfounded was that Jingcheng TV was actually jealous. A director from the station came to Shanhe Media and complained that life in the station was difficult now. Why did he not contact Jingcheng TV for two high-quality variety shows in a row? Good partners?

It's no wonder that Beijing TV Station is anxious. After two years, "I Love to Remember Lyrics" has been tepid and its potential is not high. "Boys and Girls Rush Forward" cannot be broadcast weekly throughout the year. They are eager to continue to cooperate with Shanhe Media.

But this is not because Wei Jin likes the new and hates the old. He also has his own considerations. The nature of Jingcheng TV is different and too serious. There are really not many variety shows suitable for them.

The popularity of the variety show "If You Are the One" has made Huayi Brothers and Feng Dapao overjoyed. They believe that taking advantage of this trend, the movie will be a hit at the box office.

Huayi held a grand premiere for "If You Are the One". As an investor, Wei Jin was naturally invited. This time, the female companion was Liu Yifei, who just returned from the filming of "Inception" yesterday.

At the premiere, Feng Dapao looked very confident when faced with reporters' questions about the box office.

"This return to the Lunar New Year period is still the comedy that I am good at. I believe that there will be new breakthroughs at the box office."

"Director Feng, but "The Martian" is still in theaters, don't you feel any pressure?"

Some media reporters questioned whether Feng Dapao had lost his mind when competing with Wei and Jin's movies at the box office.

"Of course there is pressure, but I think the two movies have different movie-watching groups, and the current single-day box office in the domestic market has exceeded 50 million, which can fully accommodate two blockbusters."

Feng Dapao's words were well-founded and made many reporters and audiences nod frequently.

"Director Wei, what do you think of the box office performance of "Undisturbed"?"

Everyone at the scene, including Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei brothers and Feng Dapao, as well as the film's main creators, all looked at Wei Jin, wanting to hear his opinion.

Wei Jin was a little helpless, knowing that he would not be able to escape this topic. His previous predictions were too accurate.

"With Director Feng's accomplishments in comedy films, 2 million shouldn't be a big problem, and 3 million is still possible."

After the premiere, Wang Zhonglei found Wei Jin and said jokingly:

"Mr. Wei, you are also an investor in this movie, so you are a little conservative today."

Wei Jin thought he had enough support, but unexpectedly Huayi and Feng Dapao were still dissatisfied. They expected it to exceed 3 million.

"Hey, let me tell you. It won't really affect the box office. Let's watch it then."
-

After the premiere, Wei Jin naturally came to Liu Yifei's place to spend the night.

Liu Yifei lay lazily in Wei Jin's arms, letting the man play with her long legs.

"Brother, fortunately, I listened to you before, and I have avoided disaster this time."

In the past two days, it was revealed that Gong Huang and Li Lian had transferred to Singapore. The former's sworn photos were disclosed by the media. Although the latter has no direct evidence, he has never come forward to clarify in the face of doubts and discussions from the outside world.

Gong Huang and Li Lianlian have received a lot of abuse and boycotts online, and their reputation has been greatly affected.

The status of these two people is too high, and the transfer of citizenship instantly caused public opinion to surge, and other people in the entertainment industry were also subject to various speculations, and rumors spread everywhere and intensified.

Liu Yifei was naturally the target of attacks. Fortunately, her nationality had been transferred back before. This time, the little girl did not have to swallow her anger. She posted her ID card directly on the blog. In an instant, all the rumors were gone and she also gained a lot of money. fan.

This matter could be handled so smoothly thanks to the cheap "father-in-law" whom Wei and Jin had never met.

"Hmph, do you know your man has foresight?"

The little girl's legs were indeed round and plump after long-term training. Wei Jin couldn't put them down.

"Yeah, you're the best, okay, but brother, when do you want to touch me?"

Wei Jin touched it for a long time, but saw no further action. The little girl became anxious. After all, she hadn't eaten meat for several months.

"Hey, Yifei, do you want it now?"

"Brother, you are so annoying. If you do this again, I will ignore you."

"Don't worry, Yifei, I think today"

Wei Jin took advantage of the situation and made a request. You must know that life without home runs is imperfect.

"Well, then you have to be gentle."

Liu Yifei grew up in North America, so she is not so resistant in this regard.

This night, Wei and Jin conquered a difficult situation again.——

"Not Disturb" has been released, and Feng Dapao's comedy still has the appeal, with a box office of 2500 million on the first day. On the other hand, "The Martian" only had a box office of more than million in a single day.

The market potential for comedy films is still huge. In the last four days of 2008, "Undisturbed" grossed 8000 million at the box office.

The film and television industry seems to have seen again the scenes of Feng's comedies sweeping the Lunar New Year festival in those years.

This film claims to have an investment of 50 million, but the actual investment is only 30 million. The publicity is to exaggerate.

As long as Feng Dapao doesn't engage in emotions, comedies can still be very profitable. At present, just the placement of advertisements and patches has already recovered the cost. No matter how much the box office is, it is pure profit.

However, the reputation of the movie is not very good. The summary on the Internet is very insightful: advertising + cross talk + skit = If You Are the One.

At the end of 2008, "The Martian" was released for 20 days, and the domestic box office officially exceeded the 6 million mark, creating a new era.
