During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 309: Divide Investments I am Pan Jinlian
After Wei Jin explained the details of the project, looking at the three investors, he still had to emphasize some things again.

"I have communicated with you before that this project will still take the path of global distribution. However, you can only participate in the share of the box office in China, so there is no premium for investment."

Although Ye Ning and Wang Gong were a little helpless, they were mentally prepared and nodded, indicating that they had no objections.

"But don't worry, everyone is already recruiting investment for domestic pre-roll and product placement ads. I can guarantee that they will at least not be less than those in "The Martian."

The three investors all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. After more than 3 million yuan in advertising, the cost was controlled at more than million yuan. Even judging from the results of "Passengers", it is definitely profitable.

"In addition, this is not the first time for everyone to collaborate. You should also know that the production of a science fiction film will take longer than the previous two films. It will not be released until early 13 at the earliest, so everyone should be mentally prepared. "

The purpose of Wei Jin's vaccination in advance is that the film market is getting bigger and bigger. Investors must consider whether it is worth investing money in this project for two years.

"Mr. Wei, the longer the time, the better it is for us, isn't it?"

Ye Ning said that he was quite optimistic about the domestic film market. Since last year, the revenue of Wanda Cinemas has skyrocketed. In two years, he believes that the domestic box office ceiling will be exceeded.

"Yes, Wei Jin, it goes without saying. I am here today because I trust you and let's talk about the share."

"it is good."

After a morning of negotiations, the four parties finally decided on the investment allocation plan.

Shanhe Media invested 2.7 million yuan, accounting for 60%, China Film Group invested 9000 million yuan, accounting for 20%, and the remaining two companies invested 4500 million yuan each, accounting for 10%.

"By the way, when will the project start?"

Although the profit margin of this project for China Film Group is incomparable to that before, Han Sanping, as the head of a state-owned enterprise, values ​​profits, but not so much.

"It depends on the progress of preparations. At present, all aspects of props are still being produced. Actor training is expected to begin in late March and filming will start in early April."

Speaking of this, Wei Jin paused and said to Wang Gong of Aviation Science and Engineering:

"This time we need the assistance of the space agency to assign astronauts with experience in space walks to conduct special training for the actors. I also hope that Gong Wang will go back and help communicate."

"That's no problem. Director Chen has already said hello and this project has been given the green light."

"it is good"

After talking about business, Wei Jin was about to leave, but Han Sanping stopped him.

"Ye Ning was here just now, so I don't want to ask more questions. It's just the overseas market of "Thieves". What do you think about it?"

Wei Jin understood the meaning of Han Sanping's words, so he pondered for a while and answered.

"The subject matter of "Thieves" is not suitable for global release. This time I plan to release it simultaneously in Asia. For other markets, I will sell the rights."

As soon as Wei Jin said this, a smile appeared on Han Sanping's face. Although China Film could not enjoy the overseas box office share, as a producer, it did enjoy rights in terms of copyright.

"Okay, for copyright deals, should we invite film producers or go to film festivals?"

"Let's go to the film festival, just take advantage of the opportunity in Venice"

Han Sanping nodded when he heard this. Wei Jin's plan to attack the Venice Golden Lion was not a secret in the industry, and then asked with some concern.

"Are you sure this time?"

Han Sanping is not worried at all about being shortlisted. After all, he is the winner of the Golden Bear Award and the Palme d'Or. If Wei Jin cannot be shortlisted, it will be a big joke in the world.

"It's hard to say. Venice has a unique taste. I can only say it depends on luck."

"Well, that's the truth. I hope you can get the prize back!"

Han Sanping also knew that winning an award was very mysterious and could not be forced, so he patted his head as if he remembered something again.

"By the way, now that "Pacific Rim" has been completed, should we hold a media conference to build up the buzz?"

"That's fine, you can arrange it."
-
Now that the investment in the new project has been negotiated, in order to avoid harassment, Wei Jin announced the project status through the official website of Shanhe Media the next day, and the other producers followed closely.

"Gravity", a 3D science fiction disaster film with a total investment of 4.5 million;
Director: Wei Jin; Screenwriter: Wei Jin;
Male lead: Cheng Long; female lead: Zeng Li;

Produced by: Shanhe Media, China Film Group, Wangda Pictures, Aviation Science and Technology.

As soon as the news came out, the circle was suddenly not calm.

Many actors were still waiting for casting, but the male and female leads were decided directly. Wei Jin didn't even give them a chance.

However, movie fans began to cheer for it. Cheng Long, the number one Chinese action star, is paired with Zeng Li, the first Oscar-winning actress of the yellow race, and Wei Jin writes and directs it. This lineup is simply too luxurious, and the anticipation is building.

Many netizens said that "Gravity" has entered their must-see film list.

Looking at the news on the Internet, Wang Changtian sighed helplessly.

At the beginning, "The Martian" and "Passengers" were the top five producers, but now there are only four producers of "Gravity".

The company is still the same company, but it happens to be missing fiber optics.

"Brother Wei, my feelings have faded, but I can't send Xie Nan to you anymore, can I?"

After hearing his chairman's muttering, the secretary mentioned something.

"Dr. Wang, I heard that Sister Nan seems to be in a relationship. I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Wang Changtian glared at his secretary angrily, "Did I mean that? I was worried about how to have a good relationship with Wei Jin."

After a pause, Wang Changtian reacted.

"You said Xie Nan is in love? How come I didn't know? Is it a man? No, I mean, who is the man?"

The secretary suppressed a smile and told everything he knew about the situation.

"It's the Hong Kong star Wu Jing. Last year he appeared on our show and asked Sister Nan if she had a boyfriend during the recording session."

As if remembering the scene described by his colleagues, the secretary couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckled, and then continued.

"Later, Wu Jing launched a fierce pursuit. It is said that when Wu Jing was injured before, Sister Nan even went to the hospital to visit him, but I don't know whether the two of them reached an agreement."

After listening to the gossip, Wang Changtian was a little disappointed. He had no interest in a second-tier actor like Wu Jing. Then he started to worry again. Fiber Optics was seeking to go public. Ensuring profitability was the key. But when it came to profitability, who could? Is it comparable to Wei and Jin?

Seeing his chairman's frown, the secretary came up with an idea.

"Director Wang, look, it's better to do this."

As the secretary narrated, Wang Changtian's eyes became brighter and brighter——
In the office, enjoying the service of his assistant Zixuan, Wei Jin had fun watching it online.

The "Golden Broom Awards", which has just been established for two years, announced the winners of the second session a few days ago.

With "If You Are the One 2" and "Big Earthquake", Feng Dapao won three awards including Most Disappointing Director, Film, and Advertising Placement.

For a time, it aroused heated discussions among many netizens. Everyone felt that the award was unfair and overwhelmingly supported Feng Dapao.

Feng Dapao was slapped in the face, and naturally he would not tolerate the organizer. You must know that this guy is someone who even dares to criticize his cooperating units. He publicly ridiculed directly on Weibo: "These people are just trying to gain popularity, hype, and want to step on others." Use my reputation to rise to the top"

Wei Jin deeply agreed with this. This award was sponsored by the "Youth Film Handbook" and was selected by netizens and independent film critics. The slogan was "Promote Chinese films."

But any initial awards need to be promoted and publicized, and this group of people has no sponsors, so why not find a big director in the industry to gain popularity and get attention?
After all, all awards are, at the end of the day, business.

Coincidentally, something went wrong at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Ying Huang's "Let the Bullets Fly" didn't even get a nomination. The organizers said that the film's release time did not meet the competition standards and that it had to be based on the local release time in Hong Kong. It really didn't even happen.

Wei Jin guessed that Boss Yang might not be in a good mood during this period. After all, he had been helping the organizer and inviting familiar mainland directors to compete in Hong Kong. This slap in the face was really painful.

Suddenly feeling bitten, Wei Jin lowered his head and saw that assistant Zixuan's eyes were almost dripping with water, and she could no longer hold it in any longer.

"I'm sorry, Zixuan, for keeping you waiting for so long. Let the boss feed you now."

Reaching out to pick up Zixuan and pressing her down on the desk, Wei Jin began to applaud.

"clap clap"
-
China Film Group held a media conference for "Pacific Rim" and it was a big scene.

In Han Sanping's words, after all, it is a large-scale co-production with a cost of 1.5 million U.S. dollars. It does not fit the temperament of not being a big show.

Fan Bingbing, Zhang Yi, and many close-up actors from film studios and art troupes have arrived. Guo Fan is still in Hollywood. In his words, since he has gone, he must understand everything.

Fan Bingbing and Zhang Yi took turns explaining the shooting process, including motion capture equipment, auxiliary machines, and green screen special effects lenses.
After the speech session ended, reporters asked questions one after another, and the topic of box office was naturally unavoidable.

"Since you have participated in the entire film production, what are your expectations for the box office?"

The group of people looked at each other and finally handed the microphone to Fan Bingbing. After all, she was the only woman present.

"When we were filming in Hollywood, everyone would discuss this issue after breaks. Everyone agreed that the global box office may not be guaranteed, but domestically, we believe that 10 billion is no problem."

Fan Bingbing's words made the media at the scene excited, and they were sure to be high-selling materials.

After the press conference, there was a dinner party, which was attended by all the Chinese crew of "Pacific Rim", including the three producers Wei Jin, Han Sanping, and Ye Ning.

"Wei Jin, you have strong judgment. In your opinion, how much can this movie earn at the box office?"

Looking at Han Sanping's appearance, he was not very satisfied with Fan Bingbing's slogan of one billion, which was in line with his character of becoming bigger and stronger.

"Director Han, I'm not a god. I haven't seen the finished film. Are you just guessing?"

Wei Jin scolded Han Sanping angrily, but looked at the expectant looks in the others' eyes and added.

"The domestic film market is currently growing. As long as the quality of the films can keep up, 10 billion is not a big problem. As for higher prices, it requires appropriate schedules and publicity."

This probably shows that Wei Jin's judgment on the box office of this movie made all the main creators look happy. After all, the best result achieved by a co-production was only the 8 million box office of "Inception". They are already very satisfied.

The dinner was lackluster, but when it was over, a piece of news from Han Sanping surprised Wei Jin and had to confirm it again.

"Director Han, are you saying that "Guan Yunchang" is scheduled to be released on April 4?"

"Well, it was just decided a few days ago."

After receiving Han Sanping's affirmative reply, Wei Jin was a little speechless. The producer really made a good calculation and showed the popularity of "Ip Man 3".

Wei Jin has not yet been able to reason about this crucial matter, and the free schedule has been delayed by a week. No matter from every aspect, it has already given enough face, and it would be a bit too much to target it again.

"Forget it, let's leave it like that. Then we'll see the real results at the box office."

After the dinner, Fan Bingbing sent out another signal for artistic exchange. It seemed that this woman was really depressed during this period.

Wei Jin did not refuse. The two came to the Golden House and played a new trick - Pan Jinlian seduced Wu Erlang.

"Uncle, my sister-in-law is feeling very uncomfortable right now, can you help me?"

"Sister-in-law, please respect yourself."

"Uncle, do you think I am willing to despise myself?"

She is worthy of being the Tokyo Best Actress, her acting skills are spot on, and Fan Bingbing looks so sweet, I really feel pity for her.

"It's your eldest brother, he. He can't do it. In order to keep your family alive, my sister-in-law has to take this step. If you don't obey me, my sister-in-law won't be able to see anyone anymore, so she's going."

Wei and Jin did not expect that Fan Bingbing had such a deep understanding of this plot. If Pan Jinlian had used this rhetoric back then, Wu Song, the hero of the tiger fight, would have followed it, right?
"Sister-in-law, this is just this once, and you must not let your eldest brother know."

"Sister-in-law, the most I can do is do it again, absolutely not"

"Sister-in-law, the night is beautiful, let's continue"

"Uncle, I think we should have it."

"Sister-in-law, I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it."

"Uncle, I really have it, it's all full."

"Sister-in-law, there are other places that can be decorated. Don't worry. I am a tiger-fighting hero and have very good physical strength."

"Uncle, you'd better kill me."
-
The next day, it was not until three o'clock in the morning that Fan Bingbing staggered and walked out of the golden house slowly, holding on to the wall with one hand.

"boss."

Upon seeing this, the female personal assistant quickly helped her boss into the nanny car. She naturally knew what happened last night. She just looked at the mark on Fan Bingbing's collarbone and couldn't help but ask:
"Boss, is Mr. Wei so powerful? You are too crazy!"

"Ahem, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."

Fan Bingbing buttoned up his collar as if nothing had happened and covered it slightly. He recalled the crazy battle last night in his mind and couldn't help but sigh. This man's body was becoming more and more terrifying.

I remember that when the two of them had sex for the first time, she could still force herself to have a 50-50 relationship with Wei Jin, but last night she had tried her best, and even her butt was still burning now, so she could barely let him have all the fun. It was really special. What a humanoid weapon.

"How are you planning your schedule these days?"

Fan Bingbing changed the subject, took out her makeup box and touched up her makeup. Looking at herself radiantly in the mirror, she felt that everything last night was so beautiful.

"I have two variety show interviews today, a brand event tomorrow, and I will leave to participate in Paris Fashion Week the day after tomorrow, and then I will come back on the 5th for a half-month road show."

Having said this, the female assistant couldn't help but ask:
"But boss, isn't half a month's road show too long? Is it necessary?"

Fan Bingbing put on makeup and replied without raising his head: "Of course it is necessary. Don't underestimate road shows. If you want to do well at the box office, road shows are indispensable."

Fan Bingbing knows very well that he does not have much appeal. If he wants to do well at the box office, he must not be afraid of hard work.

Although the film schedule has been guaranteed, the theater chain has to make money after all. If the box office is too ugly, Wei Jin will not show mercy.

"Okay, boss."

The female assistant looked at the radiant boss and sighed in her heart, women who are nourished are different, and she doesn't know how powerful Mr. Wei is.
