During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 235 "The King of Singers" The Threat of "Avatar" Scheduled

Nortel's official website has announced the graduation list of this year's graduate students.

Wei Jin's graduation film received the highest score. After all, it was a Golden Bear Award-winning film.

Including the new list of outstanding alumni, Wei Jin's name also appeared. According to Teacher Jiang, if he had not gone to graduate school, Wei Jin would have been on the list three years ago.

"Brother, you have graduated from graduate school, and you haven't accompanied me around the campus yet."

Jing Tian always remembered that Wei Jin had agreed to welcome the newcomers, but they didn't come.

"Tiantian, Beidian is such a big place, what is there to see?"

Wei Jin really couldn't understand the little girl's brain circuit. Did she want to show off, or show off?

"Didn't we agree to go out for fun during the Spring Festival? Wouldn't that be more fun than the sesame-sized place in school?"

"Well, you can't break your promise this time."

"Well, not this time."

Calculating the time, the child should be a hundred days old by then, so he can go out and play with peace of mind.

This program has been online for two episodes, and the ratings have directly exceeded 3, and the audience share in the Beijing area has reached more than 26%. It can be said to be an explosion, and Beijing Satellite TV is overjoyed.

"whee."

"It's okay. A big leader is very optimistic about it and invited me by name. I just need to participate in the last two rounds."

This is also true. Almost all the guests invited by the program team agreed without much hesitation.

Wei Jin was shocked to realize that Tiantian looked harmless in front of him, almost forgetting that her background was quite big.

After hearing about "The King of Masked Singer" this time, a deputy director of Beijing TV also took action personally. After understanding the rules of the program, he immediately decided to offer a sky-high price, a guaranteed price of 5 million plus % of the advertising share.

While he was talking, Wei Jin's hands had already begun to roam around the little girl's body.

The reason why we chose Jingcheng Terrace was that Wei Jin also focused on getting even rain and dew.

"Among the singers in 䱼PK, who do you think is the most amazing?"

Although it is understandable that the program team has to take care of the guests' face, the producer is now Shanhe Media. Wei Jin does not believe that these guests dare to cause trouble. Since you have accepted the invitation, please abide by the competition rules.

"Bad brother, you just know how to bully me. I've given you everything, but you're still out there. Hmm."

"My Tiantian is really amazing."

"That doesn't matter. Although the specific time has not been determined yet, it should be early August, so there is enough time."

At present, "The Voice" is cooperating with Shanghai TV, "If You Are the One" is cooperating with Suzhou Satellite TV, and later "Run" is cooperating with Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. Sunward Media and the three major TV stations have formed a close community of interests.

Jing Tian also enjoyed this time between the two of them, leaning into Wei Jin's arms and quietly feeling the man's body temperature.

"Brother, when will "Super Body" be released? Hunter informed me that I will join the group in mid-August at the most."

Seeing that the little girl looked a little naive and silly, Wei Jin reached out and took her into his arms, constantly rubbing his nose against her pretty face. With his tired look, how could he look like a billionaire or an entertainment overlord?

"That's good, this is my first movie with a female protagonist."

Wei Jin decisively interrupted the little girl with a kiss. There were some things that he couldn't say. If he said too much, he would care too much.

After noticing the little girl's happiness, how could Wei Jin not want some benefits?

"Then Tiantian, how should you thank me?"

"By the way, did you really receive an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala?"

The project of "Now You See Me 2" has been approved. This time, Jing Tian will have much more roles, which also means that she will not be able to complete the film in a short time.

Wei Jin mentally estimated the schedule. "October Siege" has been scheduled for July 7 after May Day, and "Super Body" can naturally only be released in August.

Wei Jin suddenly thought of this problem. It is not certain that you can attend the Spring Festival Gala if you are invited. If you don't show up for the rehearsal, or the rehearsal effect is not good, it may be cut off at any time.

According to the variety show department's predictions, the peak ratings of the show should exceed 5. It is the only one among this type of pure music variety show.

This variety show is no different from "Run". It is quite simple to produce and has already been broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV in early May.

"Everyone is wearing a mask. I don't know who they are. I only know that their code name is Wanderer."

Wei Jin nodded when he heard this. One of the highlights of this show is that the singers are doing their best to hide themselves and will not reveal their iconic voices easily.

When Wei Jin watched this show in his previous life, he couldn't help but complain, why should the winner be eliminated? I can't understand it even if I copy it.

You must know that the production cost of "The King of Masked Singer" is not comparable to that of "The Voice". It is only about 20 million even if it is fully calculated. The price offered by Beijing Satellite TV can be said to be full of sincerity.

Speaking of this, Jing Tian looked excited. You must know that her dream is to let more people know her.

The Spring Festival Gala will be performed in front of more than one billion viewers. This is probably the most watched performance.

On the contrary, it was Beijing Satellite TV, which we had a very happy cooperation with at the beginning. Due to the constraints of the TV station, it was difficult for Shanhe Media to find variety shows suitable for the other party.

"It's my real brother. The song "Ruishi" has such a good idea that the director made the call himself."

When talking about "The Masked Singer", the little girl looked excited. It was obvious that she had a lot of fun in the show.

This "King of Masked Singer" planned by Shanhe Media is closer to the Korean original version and has eliminated the so-called glorious reveal.

Jing Tian has already imagined that the heroine movie will be released, and her status will soar. You know, Liu Yifei's ranking among the four little actresses was lowered, and she was very unhappy.

After a long kiss, Jing Tian's face turned red and she had forgotten about it.

"Brother, your show is so fun."

After a long while, Jing Tian seemed to remember something.

"But Tiantian, if you want to join the group, what will happen to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal?"

Although it may be embarrassing to be eliminated, haven't you seen how popular the four mentors of "The Voice" have become? Even if they refuse, the capital or brokerage team behind them will not agree.

Not only that, almost all of these invited guests chose to charge a nominal appearance fee. Their team knew very well that this was a good opportunity to become famous, and the follow-up benefits were the bulk. As for the appearance fee, why not form a good relationship with Shanhe Media? edge? This is why the show is so cheap to produce.

In terms of the competition format, four guests will appear in each episode, and they will first sing a four-person chorus to give the guessing team a preliminary impression of the guests.

Next, there are two groups of chorus. The winner will advance directly. The loser group will sing a song alone and continue with another round of PK. The eliminated ones will finally be revealed, but before the reveal, guess what the group will do. Confirm the final guess.

If the guess is correct, the audience will receive an autographed photo of the unveiling artist, which is not too much, just two hundred copies. If the guess is wrong, the guessing team will be punished collectively.

"Tiantian, who among the guessing group members do you think performed best?"

This program is related to music. Several music artists newly signed by the company have joined the guessing group. They can show their faces and earn some advertising fees at the same time.

As for the famous singer Yao Beina, he was a guest, but Wei Jin did not pay attention to the specific name of his nickname in the show.

"Jin Zhiwen, he is so funny and he is always doing a disservice."

Jing Tian seemed to be remembering Jin Zhiwen's magical operation, and Jing Tian smiled brightly. "Haha, is he overacting or too young?"

Wei Jin thought about communicating with the variety show department. The script was allowed, but if it was too much, it would be bad.

"Ah? Are they all acting?"

"It's not necessarily all staged, but it's somewhat exaggerated."

After Wei Jin became a capital, he was already very familiar with the routines. Don't wonder why those variety show stars are so stupid, it's all about the effects of the show.

"Ah~~I thought I hid it well."

"The program is effective. You have fun and the audience is happy too. That's all."

"No, that's true."

China Film, in Han Sanping's office.

Looking through the movie schedule, Wei Jin thought about it and said:

"Director Han, please help me confirm the schedule for August 8st."

Over the past few years, the summer season has become very mature, second only to the Lunar New Year season.

"Okay, let's go for a global release this time?"

Han Sanping knew Wei Jin's thoughts, but felt that this young man was too ambitious.

"Well, I have to give it a try after all. Besides, even if it's not ideal, I can accept it."

In fact, Wei Jin also knows that for a production like "Super Body" that costs more than 10 million US dollars, a global release is far less cost-effective than directly selling off the copyright.

But Summit Entertainment is one of their own, and they will still listen to Wei Jin's request. What's more, even if the overseas box office is really unsatisfactory, the Asian box office alone is enough to make a lot of money.

"Well, you can figure it out yourself."

There was no investment from China Film Group in this film, so Han Sanping stopped talking and turned to talk about new projects.

"How's it going? After being idle for so long, it's time to start the project, right?"

All funds for "Passengers" have already been in place, and Han Sanping can't wait.

"Well, it's almost there."

Chen Xi's ability is still very strong, including the studio, various equipment and props, are being produced in an orderly manner, and there will be no problems at all when the production starts at the end of the month.

"By the way, I have an idea."

There are a lot of dormant spaces in this film, and Wei Jin plans to find some familiar actors from the industry to make guest appearances.

Just lie in the dormant cabin and give it a shot of one or two seconds. When the time comes to edit it, the effect will be absolutely explosive. This was the inspiration provided by Boss Yang in "New World".

After hearing what Wei Jin said, Han Sanping's eyes also lit up.

"Not bad, it's very interesting. Give me a shot when the time comes."

"That's for sure. Your acting skills are so good."

Wei Jin complimented Han Sanping without hesitation, but unexpectedly made Han Sanping roll his eyes.

"You kid, you're trying to trick me, right? You're just lying in the dormitory and you're going to have some bad acting skills."

Seeing that the business conversation was over, Wei Jin thought of another thing.

"By the way, Director Han, I have something to discuss with you."

Wei Jin thought about the meeting with Nolan in North America. He must inform China Film about this matter. After all, the Asian market belongs to both of them.

"The North American schedule for "Inception" has been set, November 11th."

"Huh? Why did you choose this time? Isn't the Lunar New Year time good? I remember that December is also a popular time in North America, right?"

Han Sanping was a little surprised. This was not the best time for the Lunar New Year.

"Because "Avatar" is scheduled to be released on December 12, Nolan does not have the confidence to face this film head-on. This is the same view, including Warner."

Wei Jin is also a little embarrassed, but he can understand Warner's approach. After all, the North American market is their main revenue area.

"Is "Avatar" so great? Nolan is a billion-dollar director, and even with your script, he can't compete?"

Han Sanping was a little surprised. Wasn't the foreigner too timid?

"Director Han, that is the pinnacle of Cameron's ten years of hard work. The team used for "Inception" is from other people. Nolan must be aware of it."

If others don't know, how can Wei and Jin not know? In the previous life, "Avatar" grossed nearly 30 billion US dollars at the box office.

Even until 2023, more than ten years after its release, the film still firmly holds the top spot at the global box office. It is even possible that no film will be able to break through this mountain in the future, which is extremely terrifying.

"What we have to consider now is whether we should release it simultaneously in Asia. North America doesn't have any opinions on this."

"Well, let's release it simultaneously."

Han Sanping thought about it and agreed to this schedule. After all, the gimmick of simultaneous global release in just a few days may save the box office losses.
-

Han Sanping was very efficient. The news that "Super Body" was scheduled to be released on August 8 appeared on the official website of China Film Group early the next morning.

With an investment of 8000 million, Wei Jin's self-written and directed heroine movie is about to be released.

Many female celebrities thought about that night when they lost without a fight, and felt sour in their hearts.

"I don't know what's so good about Jing Tian, ​​how can I be inferior to her?"

"It would be a shame if a movie with a leading female protagonist couldn't sustain it."

Many female artists are preparing to wait for the movie to be released to watch Jing Tian's jokes, which has helped to warm up "Super Body" in advance.

However, the popularity did not last long. In the afternoon of that day, several producers of "Passengers" jointly announced the project information for the first time:

""Passengers" has a total investment of 2.5 million and is jointly produced by Sunward Media, China Film, Aviation Science and Technology, Wanda Cinema, and Fiber Optics!"

As soon as the news came out, the industry was abuzz. Although the script had been reviewed and the filming location had been exposed, no specific information about the project was disclosed.

This time it is different. It is also a science fiction film, with the same five major producers and an investment of 2.5 million. This reminds many people of "The Martian". Is it another such a super hit?

Many people began to inquire about the news, hoping to know the specific cast and launch time.

Yang Mi was in a complicated mood at this time. For a big project worth 2.5 million yuan, even if she was the second female lead, the blessing of a celebrity position was not trivial, and she didn't know if her choice was correct.

"Mimi, don't think too much. After all, "Xiu Chun Dao 2" is the female lead, and the previous film has a box office of more than million."

Comparatively speaking, Zeng Jia pays more attention to the role. She debuted as the female lead in the movie, which undoubtedly better reflects Yang Mi's status.

"Well, I know, Sister Jia"
