During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 229: Reply, Sniper "Nanjing"

Bidding farewell to Yang Mi, Wei Jin continued to the graduate school, but he was thinking about it.

Shanhe Media has always been involved in artist management, but Wei Jin did not pay attention to this aspect before, so the company did not deliberately focus on this aspect.

The reason is also very simple. The profit is really not high. At present, the company has signed more than ten people, and the revenue is only one or two hundred million a year. After deducting the management cost of the artists, the profit is less than one hundred million. It is really not worth spending a lot of energy to do it. .

But the situation is different now. Since the beginning of the year, new policies have been introduced to encourage the financial industry to enter the cultural industry. I believe there will be more policy support in the future.

What follows is an increase in overall remuneration in the industry, including various endorsement fees.

The key increase is not low, and the artist management department is particularly impressed by this.

In view of this, applications have been made within the company more than once, and the artist agency needs to expand its scale.

As a person of later generations, Wei Jin knew very well that the increase in artist remuneration would be completely unbearable. In the future, sky-high remuneration for artists will be the norm, with many making 208 million a day, and the brokerage business will become an important source of income for film and television companies.

So what I just said to Yang Mi is not to deal with her, but film and television production and artist management are naturally in a conflicting relationship. How to operate it specifically requires the team to come up with a charter.——

All the way to the small lecture theater prepared for graduation defense.

There are more than 200 seats, one-third of which are occupied. The battle is really big enough.

Without being polite, Wei Jin walked onto the podium alone.

"let's start"

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at this student who made him extremely proud and said with a smile.

"Okay, teacher."

Everyone in the audience, whether they were professors or other graduates, immediately cheered up.

Wei Jin organized his thoughts and started today's speech.

"Everyone knows that I have shot many movies since my debut, most of which used special effects. Many people in the industry say that I rely on special effects to win."

The people below all laughed. These people are just telling lies. Wei Jin's award-winning film has gross special effects, so isn't it still a double success at the box office and awards?

"The content of my thesis is also related to special effects and will be further deepened."

"The title of today's speech is: "Promotion of Film Industrialization by Heavy Industry Films."

First of all, we need to clarify a concept: what is a heavy industry movie?

Heavy industry movies refer to the type of film and television works that use cutting-edge film technology and production teams with large investments, and focus on visual effects experience and movie-watching experience. Correspondingly, there are light industrial films."

As the content of Wei and Jin gradually unfolded, the expressions of everyone present also varied.

The teachers and professors in the directing department all had glints in their eyes.

Teachers from other majors who came to observe also felt that they benefited a lot.

Only the students who were observing were completely confused. What Wei Jin was studying was too advanced for them.

"It is not difficult for everyone to see that special effects are almost standard equipment for heavy industrial movies, and domestic special effects technology..."

For more than an hour, Wei and Jin talked eloquently.

It elaborates on the application and role of special effects in heavy industrial films, the production model of heavy industrial films, and its role in promoting the industrialization of films.

".So this is why I have been working on special effects blockbusters. The above is the entire content of my defense. Please correct me, teachers."

The professors in the audience looked at each other with depressed and helpless expressions, and no one spoke.

It’s not their fault. These professors have never even participated in special effects blockbusters, let alone heavy industry movies?

"Forget it, he is indeed better than us in this aspect, so let's not ask."

Tianzhuangzhuang's words gave others a step up, and no one had any objection.

The other graduates were dumbfounded. They thought they didn't understand, but they didn't expect that the teachers didn't understand either. Is this the easiest graduation defense? But they don't even dare to think about writing this kind of paper, let alone writing it.

"From this moment on, you have graduated, and your future journey will be on your own."

Tian Zhuangzhuang felt a little emotional that this student's future achievements were beyond his imagination.

"Thank you, teacher, for always taking care of me. The students will remember it in their hearts."

Looking at his mentor's gray hair, Wei Jin felt grateful and a little reluctant to give up.

"Okay, remember to come back and take a look when you have time. Also, if you can, take care of the alumni and don't let others say that you don't miss the old friendship."

Wei Jin naturally understood what Tianzhuangzhuang said. In recent years, many students from the Department of Photography, Department of Management and even the Department of Literature have entered Shanhe Media. However, it is difficult for the performance department to gain favor.

Seeing that Wei Jin was about to graduate, I am afraid that the teachers in the performance department couldn't sit still and ran to Gianzhuang Village to blow a lot of wind.

"Teacher, don't worry, I will do it."
-

Although Wei Jin decided to delay the start-up, it did not affect the preliminary preparations for the project. This aspect was left to Chen Xi, which was no problem at all.

At present, she has gone to the China Film Digital Production Base with the team of Aviation Science and Technology to supervise the work.

In the large studio, the internal construction work of the spacecraft has already begun.

Many media, taking advantage of the opportunity to visit other studios in the studio, always find the right opportunity to get together here.

However, the management of the digital base is very strict. As long as they refuse to visit the team, no reporter can get close. They are all blocked from afar, and the cameras in their hands also capture the loneliness.

However, this does not affect the performance of the media. All kinds of news are thrown out for free, focusing on one to attract attention.

"The filming location for "Passengers" has begun to be set up, and filming is expected to start soon."

"The investment information has not yet been clarified, and the main creative lineup is still unknown."

Many people in the circle are gnashing their teeth with hatred. Wei Jin is really not a son of a man. He has been doing this for how long and has not revealed any information.

They can only stare at the official website of the Film Bureau, looking forward to more information, even though they know the chance is slim, but what if? ——

On April 4, "Nanjing" was released.

Although the Shanhe Cinema Alliance is not on the list, other cinemas will not care about the grudges between Lu Chuan and Wei Jin. Making money is the way to go.

Star America has also made great efforts this time, and China Film and Star America Cinema Line has made every effort to secure "Nanjing" in its film schedule. Coupled with the previous high-profile "suppression incident", "Nanjing" has become quite popular. Many people want to see what this crooked movie is like, and it has contributed a lot to the box office of the movie.

Due to the combination of various external forces, the box office of "Nanjing" on the first day was actually 980 million, which made Lu Chuan very proud. He seemed to have seen himself entering the billion-dollar director club.

Perhaps because he felt that he could withstand the pressure from Shanhe Media, or perhaps it was the first time he had received such a high box office, Lu Chuan became active again and jumped out to shout:

"This is a movie I have worked hard on for four years, just to give the public a different interpretation."

"You can't just listen to some people's words. You have to watch the movie before you can have a say."

Although "Nanjing" seems to be doing well at the box office, its online reputation is facing collapse.

Many ordinary movie fans just felt that the movie was awkward and could not understand the metaphors expressed in the movie for a while. However, they couldn't bear it and some professionals posted posts deconstructing the movie, so a lot of curses followed:

"This movie by Riku Taro only talks about tolerance and does not mention the national plot. The position is definitely problematic. I call on everyone to resolutely boycott this kind of movie."

"This bitch, he actually stands on Japan's point of view, he actually wants to reconcile, and he also wants everyone to forget history. Damn it, all he has in his mind is shit."

Although everyone had good intentions and tried to expose the true identity of Lu Chuan and "Nanjing", they finally forgot that people are curious. The more people scolded them, the more people wanted to see if it was really the case. Movie popularity continues to grow.

The box office of "Nanjing" actually rose the next day instead of falling, with a revenue of 1100 million. Now Lu Chuan was even more proud.

"I feel very happy. People who criticized my movie didn't even get to the point. "Nanjing" is like a hairtail, full of thorns. It just depends on how they choose."

I have to say that Lu Chuan, this bitch, is really thick-skinned.

Naturally, Shanhe Media couldn't watch this guy get complacent. The boss said he was going to kill him, so he couldn't have a second result.

On the morning of April 4, Impression.com announced that from now on, anyone who purchases movie tickets for "Defiant" through Impression.com can directly participate in the thousand-yuan lottery with their electronic ticket stubs.

The lottery will produce 4 lucky movie fans every day, and they will share the daily prize of 30. The event lasts until April .

As soon as the news came out, everyone knew that this was a back-up move against Lu Chuan, and the lottery was Shanhe Media's specialty.

Under such circumstances, everyone's enthusiasm for watching movies has shifted to "Defiant", and the box office of this film has finally rebounded.

On April 4, it reported a box office of 24 million, and in the following two days over the weekend, it earned an additional 1100 million at the box office.

"Defiant" was released for 10 days, with a total box office of 1.01 million, and Lu Yang officially became a billionaire director.

On the contrary, the box office of "Nanjing" was directly cut in half. On April 4, it reported 24 million. In the following two weekends, the box office failed to break 770 million again.

"Nanjing" has a total box office of 5 million in the first five days of the weekend. The final box office of this movie is becoming more and more confusing——

At the same time, the promotion of "Painted Skin 2" is also in full swing, and several promotional videos have been released.

The fox demon Xiao Wei still looks innocent, without a hint of charm.

Chen Kun, who is wearing armor, has nothing to say about his appearance. He is definitely in the first echelon of domestic entertainment.

Compared with Zeng Li in the first film, Yang Xue in this film wears half a golden mask, which fits the image of a female general leading troops in battle, highlighting her heroic appearance.

The remaining supporting roles are also very bright.

Wu Ershan is self-aware. He knows that his influence is not comparable to that of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so he has been particularly diligent in the promotion of "Painted Skin 2".

The main creators, including Chen Kun and Zhou Xun, hardly missed a promotion and followed it around the country.

Despite this, Wu Ershan still felt that it was not enough. After all, it was the first time to direct such a large project, and he also shouldered the important task of sniping "Nanjing". Coupled with the achievements of "Defiant", the pressure was too much.

"Director Wu, don't be too nervous. There is no problem with Lao Wei's script."

Zhou Xun looked at the director's distracted look and instead spoke to comfort him.

She specifically took leave from the crew of "The Wind" to contribute to the promotion of "Painted Skin 2". There was no other way, who made Wei Jin choose such a schedule.

"Well, I believe in Mr. Wei's script. It's just that the gems from "Painted Skin" are at the front, and the dark horse from "The Defiant" is at the back. I..."

Wu Ershan didn't finish his words, but all the main creators understood what he meant. No one could have imagined that "Defiant" would achieve such results.

With a production cost of 600 million yuan, the box office has exceeded 10 million yuan after only days of release. Director Lu Yang has become a new great director.

In contrast, the investment in "Painted Skin 2", which is also a new director, is as high as 6000 million. It is also a sequel to a hit movie. If the box office is not satisfactory, Wu Ershan's director career will be full of variables, and tension will be inevitable. of.

"It's okay. There's still time. If we run more, I believe the box office will be great."

The taciturn Chen Kun also rarely spoke up and said that since "Painted Skin", the other movies he starred in have not made any splash, and this time he wants to continue to prove himself.
-

In Beijing, in an office of Xingmei.

"Mr. Qin, why don't you cut off all the films of "Defiant"? This can not only increase our film schedule, but also teach Wei and Jin a lesson, isn't it good?"

The box office trend of "Nanjing" was not optimistic, and Lu Chuan became anxious and started to think of ways to make extravagant moves. In his opinion, if Wei Jin was the first grader in the junior high school, couldn't Xingmei be the fifth grader?

"I am not the only one who has the final say on the beauty of Chinese film stars. This time I have tried my best to arrange the film for "Nanjing"."

Tan Hong glanced at Lu Chuan angrily. Is this guy really mentally ill?

"The theater chains are not fools. Whichever movie makes money will naturally be released. Do you think that if I hadn't guaranteed it, "Nanjing" would still have 60% of the film schedule?"

The attendance rate of "Nanjing" is now far lower than the average. Under normal circumstances, the theater chain would have cut off the film schedule a long time ago. Lu Chuan actually wants to schedule more films. It is really stupid to a new level. .

As for teaching Wei and Jin a lesson, who the hell do you think you are? If you weren't such a fool, would I still be worried?

Tan Hong complained fiercely in his heart, and he still felt uncomfortable. He regretted it now. Why did he invest in this idiot's movie in a hotheaded way?

But Xingmei has already invested a lot of money in it, and all he can do now is try his best to recover the losses. If not, he doesn't want to stay with this idiot for a minute longer.

"Then we can only endure it? There is no way at all?"

Lu Chuan felt very aggrieved, seeing the trend of breaking over 2 million yuan being interrupted all the time. "Painted Skin " was about to be released again, and he was getting further and further away from being a commercial director worth million yuan.

"I don't. You, Director Lu, can continue to cry to the media."
