During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 82 "Star You" movie viewing party and contracted artists

Capital, inside the Golden House of Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"Director Wei, I have been approached about a literary film recently. The scale is a little too big. I would like to hear your opinion?"

After a moment of love, Fan Bingbing was a little out of breath, leaned on Wei Jin's chest and asked:

Fan Bingbing had just finished filming "Hurricane Rescue". This time she went to North America, which made her more aware of Wei Jin's energy and strengthened her determination to capture this man, so she took the initiative to invite him as soon as she returned to the capital.

In addition, Wei Jin's achievements in film are not only among the best in the country, but also among the best, so Fan Bingbing has this question.

"My opinion is of course not to film it. Don't you know what will happen to "The Summer Palace"? Even if you win the award, your career will be greatly affected."

What Wei Jin said is true. "Summer Palace" was not only banned in China, but the heroine Hao Lei was broken up by her boyfriend Deng Chao, and even her acting career was cut off. It is estimated that in a few years, there will be no such person in the industry.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Fan Bingbing has some aspirations for winning the award, but she cannot be so free and easy if it comes at the cost of her career.

But since Wei Jin made her refuse a movie, he must be willing to make some compensation.

Thinking of this, Fan Bingbing had a pitiful look on his face:

"It's just that I haven't had anything to film recently. If this continues, I will soon become obsolete."

As he spoke, he grabbed Wei Jin's hand, clasped his fingers with his, leaned forward and breathed into Wei Jin's ear:

"Good brother, won't you help me?"

  The next day, it was already ten o'clock in the morning when Wei Jin arrived at the company. Although Bingbing was fine, he still had business to do.

Today is a film viewing party organized by the company. Generally speaking, after the production of the TV series is completed, the producers will go door-to-door to sell or contact the TV stations individually. However, the current Wei Jin Fengliu Film and Television Company has this qualification and invites many TV stations to come. Come and watch.

When they came to the conference room, Chen Zhiming was watching the first two episodes of "Star You" with the film purchase directors of several TV stations. Wei Jin did not interrupt. After ten minutes, the second episode was played. Naturally, it was impossible to watch all the movies. Look, after watching the first two episodes, everyone already knows it.

Thanks to the popularity of "Latent" and the excellent production of "Star You", several TV stations competed fiercely for "Star You". Mango TV had the highest bid, with the price of a single episode reaching 120 million. Chen Zhiming's face was already on the side. A smile appeared, but Wei Jin was still not very satisfied.

The original version of this drama only has 21 episodes, but the Korean version of the TV series has a single episode length of up to 60 minutes. After Wei Jin's version was processed, it reached 30 episodes, but the production cost of a single episode was close to 90.

According to Mango Channel's quotation, profits can be made in the first round of premieres, which certainly seems like a good deal, but Wei Jin knew how popular this show would be, and after thinking about it for a moment, he had the answer.

"Directors, how about this. Let's sign a ratings guarantee agreement. If the rating is lower than the minimum rating, we won't take any money. If the rating reaches the guaranteed rating, we will buy it at a single episode price of 100 million. For each point higher, the single episode price will increase by 20. "

As soon as Wei Jin said this, people from several TV stations frowned. This was completely unconventional. Using this form of gambling, Wei Jin was very confident in the TV series, but this was a bit of a gamble. It's also too big.

"Then Mr. Wei, how do you calculate this basic ratings? Each TV station is inherently different."

The film purchasing director of Hui Province TV Station asked, "These past few years have been the highlight period of Hui Province TV Station."

"There is no rush about this. You can report to the station first. If you can accept this plan, we will discuss the specific basic ratings."

Wei Jin didn't expect the result to be immediate. Several directors nodded when they heard this and walked out of the conference room to report to the stage.

In the end, it was Mango Channel's film purchasing director who had the guts to remember the instructions of the director of Eurovision and won the first-round exclusive broadcast rights of "Star You" with a basic ratings of 6 as a guarantee.

Since it is gambling, it naturally goes both ways. Wei and Jin were gambling, so why not Mango Terrace? ——
  In the office, Wei Jin was thinking about several recent projects of the company.

The total investment in the "Star You" project was 2600 million, but in fact, at the beginning of filming, the external relations department carried out a large number of advertising investment, and implanted several high-end luxury brands without affecting the plot development and viewing experience. , the sponsorship fee alone reached 1200 million.

The same is true for clothing. We specifically contacted a famous French fashion design team to design corresponding styles of clothing according to Wei Jin's requirements. After seeing the finished products, in order to thank Wei Jin for his ideas, the design team gave all the finished products to the crew for use. . After a simple calculation, Wei Jin is confident that this drama can bring hundreds of millions of revenue to the company, and it can also increase the company's popularity throughout Asia. It is a huge win.

In terms of movies, after reading the schedule given by Mr. Han, "On the Road" has been officially scheduled for April 4, focusing on the May Day period, with almost no competitors during the same period.

"Cohabitation in Time and Space" is still in the late stages, and Wei Jin plans to release it on Chinese Valentine's Day to promote a wave of sweet love.

In addition, "The Conjuring" was released in North America on March 3. The box office in the three days of the first weekend reached 10 million. So far, in the 3188 days since its release, the box office has reached an astonishing 7 million. The media predicts that "The Conjuring" is expected to top the box office in North America alone. It exceeded 5460 million, and the global box office is expected to exceed 2 million U.S. dollars. The top executives of Summit Entertainment are simply crazy with joy.

Just as Wei Jin was thinking about where to buy a villa this year, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Yan, dressed professionally, walked in and said:
  "Mr. Wei, it's time to meet with the contracted artist. Do you think it's convenient now?"

"Okay, you can make arrangements accordingly."

As the head of the company, Wei Jin needs to interview new artists to reassure them.

A total of 6 people have signed contracts this time, namely Zhang Li, Yang Rong, Yang Xue, Luo Jin, Wang Kai, and Jiang Shuying.

Not long after, Liu Yan walked in with a tall woman.

"Mr. Wei, hello, I'm Zhang Li, from the 02-level acting class of China National Theater."

Zhang Li was a little cautious. She had not graduated yet, so she was dressed very plainly, but her delicate three-dimensional facial features made her look a bit sassy.

"Hello, don't be nervous. I asked you to come here today just to meet. There is no other meaning."

Wei Jin looked at Zhang Li who was a little nervous and comforted him:
  "Are you satisfied with the dormitory arranged by the company?"

This batch of new people signed by the company are all divided into 28%, and the initial income will not be too high, so they have specially arranged employee dormitories. Wei Jin does not want to be scolded too harshly.

"It's very good. It's much better than the school dormitory. Thank you, Mr. Wei."

Zhang Li is really grateful for the company's considerate gesture, which also makes this group of newcomers feel very grateful, and they gradually develop a sense of belonging to the company.

"That's good. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to Director Zhang. If he can't handle it, you can come to me."

Wei Jin has always been very respectful and easy-going towards those who make money for him.

"In addition, for the company's projects, you can also ask your agent about the role. As long as you are suitable, it will be no problem."

For newcomers, it is very good to have a role to play, and in the company's own dramas, most of them can have small supporting roles with lines and appearances. It is better than wandering around outside. Zhang Li naturally understands this. :
  "Okay, Mr. Wei, I will follow the company's arrangements."

"By the way, if you encounter anything bad in the company or on the crew, don't hide it. I will make the decision for you."

Wei Jin's words were a bit domineering, but he was very aware of the twists and turns in this. Wei Jin has no control over things that you and I want. If someone uses power to suppress others, then don't blame Wei for being rude.

"Well, thank you Mr. Wei."

Liu Yan's matter is not a secret in the industry, and Zhang Li naturally knows it. This is also an important reason why she chose to join the company. She is willing to provide resources and is willing to protect Wei Jin. In Zhang Li's heart at this moment, Wei Jin is already an entertainment One of the top ten bosses in the circle.
