Jihai Media, conference room.

"Let's talk about it. ”

President Pang Feng said to everyone: "Are we focusing on movies this year?"

"Mr. Pang, I think it's a bit rushed. ”

Vice President Lin Qingfa coughed lightly and said: "Our purpose has always been to keep up with Miller Film and Television, and we have also produced or cooperated with others in many phenomenal TV series in the past two years, but it is obviously not enough." ”

"Yes, I think it's a bit quick to change the focus of work directly. “

"I think so too, our goal has always been clear, which is to find a way to kill one of the eight film and television giants, so we can only maintain the competitiveness of TV dramas. “

"Now that we're just one step away from the TV drama department of Miller Films, I think we should continue to increase the production cost of TV series. “

......

In the conference room, everyone was about the same.

This year, that is, in 2018, we will continue to increase the production cost of TV dramas.

However, the film department was a little unhappy, and Tong Gang said lightly: "It's no problem to increase the production cost of TV dramas, but can the film department continue to be like last year, and can only make a small fuss? In this case, I think it is better to cancel the film department." ”

Tong Gang was indeed angry.

One by one, they said that the film department is no longer good, fuck, you guys are delegating power to the film department.

At the beginning, the film department was bald, but it completely gave up because of this?

His current authority is not as high as a small film and television company, and the largest investment in last year's movies was only 10 million.

Nima, is there still Tianli?

A film and television entertainment company second only to the top eight is only 10 million.

It's so embarrassing?

Of course, Tong Gang also understands that this is a wish, after all, Jihai Media was also very happy in the film market before.

However, no matter what, you have to give the film department power.

"Hehe, Lao Tong, isn't this a discussion, you can't have emotions. ”

Lin Qingfa smiled and said: "The main thing is that there are no suitable movies to invest in. ”

"When Lin Chen's first movie "33 Days of Broken Love", I gave advice to the company, and I also gave advice to the second "Embroidered Spring Knife", and now for the third movie, I heard that Mile Film and Television has reached a cooperation with Lin Chen. ”

Tong Gang still said indifferently: "Originally, because of "The Pretender", we could have carried out in-depth cooperation with Lin Chen, but the result was good, and now Lin Chen has reached an in-depth cooperation with Mile Film and Television, isn't this worth reflecting on?"

After saying this, Tong Gang seemed to be still angry, and he said to a few people in the TV drama department: "I forgot to tell you, Lin Chen's "Xun Qin Ji" is an independent investment, but his next TV series is also negotiated with Mile Film and Television, do you think it's beautiful?"

One sentence made everyone in the entire conference room flutter.

"How is that possible??"

Lin Qingfa looked furious: "Xinghuo Film and Television is now a TV series and a movie, and they even have to prepare for the third one?"

"What's the surprise?"

Tong Gang looked at Lin Qingfa and said: "Xinghuo Film and Television's "Bright Sword", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" were all successful last year, didn't they all succeed?"

Speaking of this, Luo Tao, the minister of the TV drama department, and Zhou Ping, the deputy minister, were also silent.

This is a dereliction of duty.

Think about "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Lin Chen cooperated with Jihai Media.

If there is no "Bright Sword", this drama would be a well-deserved drama king in 2017.

It can be said that a "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has caused extreme shocks in the TV drama market.

It stands to reason that Jihai Media should take advantage of the situation to deepen cooperation with Lin Chen, of course, they also did the same.

But that's not enough.

Not proactive enough.

In the conference room, Pang Feng said with a slightly angry expression: "So, what is going on?"

......

At the same time, in the conference room of Miller Film and Television, everyone was also discussing.

"It's going to be the celebration banquet of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" soon, let's come up with a charter about Lin Chen. ”

Shen Chao, the general manager of Mile Film and Television, said with a smile: "Lao Lin, you have always been responsible for cooperating with Lin Chen, you can talk about it." ”

"Lin Chen's TV series "I Am a Special Soldier" must be invested and cooperated, and I don't think this TV series will be bad with Lin Chen's golden signboard. ”

Lin Zhongjun was also a little worried when he talked about this: "But after all, it is a military drama, although the number of episodes produced in 2017 is as high as 10,000 episodes, but in the end, there are not many on CCTV, Mango and other satellite TVs, so I think this is still based on gambling." ”

"Yes, it does. ”

Shen Chao asked Lao Tan, the minister of the TV series, at this time: "What do you think of the script of "I Am a Special Soldier"?"

"Zhang Jiajun thinks it's very good, I think it's also very novel, all the current film and television dramas are younger, military dramas and other themes, and they are three young post-90s with very different personalities from the perspective, which is quite novel. ”

Lao Tan nodded lightly and said: "Written by Lin Chen, directed by Zhang Jiajun, and played by the popular fat man in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", although the other two Lin Chen have not been informed yet, I think Lin Chen's casting vision is still good, and this drama may continue to explode." ”

This is not only Lao Tan's opinion, but also the opinion of Mile Film and Television's TV series.

Gambling also has probabilities, taking "I Am a Special Soldier" as an example, Miller Film and Television TV Department feels that there is a 90% chance of becoming a hit.

Since this is the case, then Miller Film and Television does not have any doubts, they decided to choose 100% investment in this TV series, and they will fight for as much share as they can.

"Cheng, let's talk about movies next. ”

Shen Chao's expression became slightly solemn at this time: "How much do we invest in this movie?"

At the scene, there was no sound of pits.

At that time, the investment of "No Thieves in the World" was 30 million yuan, but that was in 2004, when such a production was already a big production, and I remember Andy's salary was only a few million.

But not to mention the current actors' salaries, other production costs have already doubled, so the production cost budget of "No Thieves in the World" is 80 million.

As for Mile Film and Television, it ate 30 million plus publicity and distribution costs, which adds up to 50 million.

This is the largest investment in the film of Miller Film and Television.

Especially if the movie fails, it will be even more difficult for Miller Film and Television to go further in the film market.

Can't afford to lose.

"Mr. Shen. ”

Lin Zhongjun sighed and said: "We can only believe Lin Chen, just with his first two movies, I think we can gamble." ”

That's true.

If you don't gamble, others will.

Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted.

The film minister suddenly said loudly: "In fact, Lin Chen is under more pressure than us, and the rest of the funds need to be prepared by them, and 50 million is not a small amount for Xinghuo Film and Television." ”

"Haha, since Lin Chen is willing to gamble, then we can accompany him. ”

Shen Chao suddenly smiled and said: "At the celebration banquet, Lao Lin, you are responsible for discussing the specific investment details with Lin Chen, and you must settle this matter." ”

If you don't sign a contract, everything is subject to change.

......

On the Internet, the discussion about "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is still continuing, and after logging in to Penguin Video yesterday, the number of clicks on "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" exploded again.

is faster than the number of hits of "Bright Sword".

In this regard, Lin Chen was not surprised.

In the original time and space, "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" was finally broadcast on Tencent Video for unknown reasons, and the number of clicks and word-of-mouth at that time were overwhelming.

This time, after the Mango Channel's ratings hit a miracle, Lin Chen thought that the network should be even crazier.

Now as it happens.

Penguin video is a happy saliva came out, a "Bright Sword" and a "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" made their traffic soar rapidly in 2018.

Pomodoro Video.

Ye Jing, who was looking at this scene, couldn't help but say, "I'm so stupid, really!"

......

On March 4th, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" held a celebration banquet, and a group of actors gathered at the Imperial Capital Hotel.

Many media outlets were present at the door.

So far, there has been a lot of discussion about Lin Chen's movies, but none of them are reliable, they are all gossip.

"Lao Zhao, did you get the first-hand news?"

At the door of the hotel, a reporter asked Zhao Zichu: "What is the theme of Lin Chen's next movie?"

"That's right, Lao Zhao, who doesn't know that you and Xinghuo Film and Television are about to wear a pair of pants, can you not know this news?"

"Yes, Lao Zhao, there is news for everyone to share, hurry up. ”

......

Looking at many peers, Zhao Zichu of Beijing Entertainment News was also a little helpless: "I really don't know." ”

"Load, load. ”

The slightly older reporter sneered: "Lao Zhao, I heard that you are about to be promoted to editor-in-chief, if you don't dig out some real information, I won't believe it." ”

"Who doesn't know that every time Lin Chen's movies and TV series let you be interviewed first, Lao Zhao, you eat meat, so let's drink a little soup. ”

"That's right, Lao Zhao, we have been in a relationship for so many years. ”

"Hurry up, we don't know anything else, we just want to know the theme of Lin Chen's next movie. ”

......

Looking at everyone, Zhao Zichu was about to cry.

Nima, he really doesn't know.

Although he has been hugging Lin Chen's thighs tightly, he has never had the opportunity to interview Lin Chen's next movie this time.

"Yes, I swear, if I knew, my daughter-in-law would cuckold me. ”

Zhao Zichu took out the poisonous oath: "I want to know more than you, but Lin Chen has never given us a chance." ”

While speaking, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Lin Chen has arrived!!"

Many reporters are flocking to the city at this time.

Lin Chen came with Gao Jingjing.

Today's celebration banquet is to promote "No Thieves in the World".

To put it more clearly, it is the pre-release conference of "No Thieves in the World".

After all, "No Thieves in the World" was invested with Mile Film and Television, so everyone had already decided to make a big news at today's celebration banquet.

"Director Lin, hello, is your next movie still in preparation?"

"Director Lin, who are the other actors in your next movie besides Gao Jingjing?"

"Lin Dao ......"

Many reporters surrounded Lin Chen, as if they had made up their minds to ask 12345.

"The next movie is indeed in the pipeline, but it will be announced soon, so I hope everyone is looking forward to it. ”

Lin Chen smiled at the reporters: "Gao Jingjing is the heroine, and the other actors haven't talked about it yet." ”

"Director Lin, I want to ask ......"

Zhao Zichu finally rushed in, but unfortunately, before he finished speaking, Lin Chen had already pulled Gao Jingjing and left quickly.

"It's embarrassing. ”

Zhao Zichu spread his hands and said.

......

In the hotel, Lin Zhongjun walked towards Lin Chen: "Director Lin, how are you preparing?"

"The script has been polished, and the cast has not yet been chosen. ”

Lin Chen waved his hand slightly and said, "After tonight, it's okay." ”

"Director Lin, I mean the production cost of "No Thieves in the World". ”

Lin Zhongjun said in a low voice: "What are you planning to do with this drama? Can you Xinghuo Film and Television eat the remaining 50 million?"

"I can't eat it. ”

Lin Chen shook his head slightly: "I won't tell you, the production cost of 50 million is also extremely stressful for us, so ......"

"Director Lin, as we said before, don't introduce a third party into this drama. ”

Lin Zhongjun was a little anxious at this time, and directly interrupted and said: "It's okay to take risks, but it must be a small film and television company." ”

"Mr. Lin, you misunderstood what I meant. ”

Lin Chen chuckled: "I won't introduce a third party in this drama, what I mean is that I will pull investors, but they only invest and don't pay dividends." ”

"Only invest, no dividends??"

Lin Zhongjun sat up straight: "Director Lin, don't sell it, let's be specific." ”

"We Xinghuo Film and Television invested 20 million to increase the cost, accounting for half of the share, and you invested 30 million plus publicity and distribution costs, accounting for half of the share. ”

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "This ratio should be fine." ”

"No problem, but if "No Thieves in the World" wants to invest 50 million, then I'm afraid we will have to compress the actors' salaries, and we can't afford to hire them on the front line. ”

Lin Zhongjun stopped here and looked at Lin Chen: "Director Lin, then what do you mean?"

"50 million is definitely not enough, and all the money saved will be given to advertising. ”

Lin Chen finally said to the point: ""There are no thieves in the world" can be implanted in advertising, Mr. Lin, don't forget the effect of advertising in "The Age of Naked Marriage" and "Love Apartment" before. ”

Lin Zhongjun suddenly said: "I see, but now advertising placement has been a bit overflowing, and the audience is a little disgusted, even some manufacturers are not too concerned about investing in advertising, you want them to invest, and let them not pay dividends, is this possible?"

"Possibly. ”

Lin Chen looked at Lin Zhongjun and said seriously: "Because I am Lin Chen!"

One sentence made Lin Zhongjun silent.

It's right to think about it.

Talented people can really do whatever they want.

"Okay, in that case, then I won't ask. ”

Lin Zhongjun also laughed: "Then, let's finish today's scene first!"

20 minutes later, the celebration banquet of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" officially began.

As the first shot of Mile Film and Television Investment in 2018, "Ghost Blows the Lantern", it will definitely be unreasonable if you don't blow it hard at this celebration banquet.

In the past two years, Jihai Media has been sticking to Mile Film and Television like a bullshit plaster, especially Pang Feng, the president of Jihai Media, who really doesn't want any face.

When I was interviewed at every turn, I said that our replication could be successful, and we wanted to pay tribute to Miller Film and Television.

Salute to your sister, salute.

Last year's popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" further increased the influence of Jihai Media.

Not to mention the next celebration banquet of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which is borderless in the eyes of Mile Film and Television.

Do you really think of yourself as one of the eight major films and television?

The celebration banquet of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" this time, Mile Film and Television also wants to expand its influence, that is, to tell Jihai Media a word.

Follow us ass and eat the ashes, you.

On the stage, Lin Zhongjun said to many media: "Although the ratings of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" did not surpass "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Bright Sword", but the video broadcast on the Internet broke the record of TV series, not only that, but the hot spots of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in the past few days are ......"

Below, many reporters are also listless.

It's still the same old boasting pattern.

"Editor-in-chief, do you think these film and television companies' celebration banquets won't change?"

Xia Bei, who was next to Zhao Zichu, frowned and said, "The celebration banquet is exactly the same. ”

"Just get used to it. ”

Zhao Zichu didn't care: "Thinking about interviewing Lin Chen for a while is the top priority, we have to dig out Lin Chen's next movie." ”

In 10 minutes, Lin Zhongjun also finished boasting, and then he invited Zhang Jiajun, the director of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", starring Zheng Ye, Tong Qing, Xiao Ming, Kong Li and others to the stage.

According to the general routine, many reporters feel that the next step should be media interviews.

At this time, Lin Zhongjun said with a smile: "There is one more thing to announce next, so let's applaud Lin Chen, the screenwriter of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"!"

The applause was like thunder, and Lin Chen took the stage.

It's time for him to perform.

"First of all, thank you to all the reporters and friends who were present, since you have arrived, then I can't let everyone go back empty-handed, right?"

Lin Chen looked at the reporter who was a little confused and said: "My third film "No Thieves in the World" has entered the preparatory stage, please take care of it!"

Rumble!

The reporters were indeed confused.

"Fuck, I even announced ??? today"

"There are no thieves in the world??? what does it mean???

"This, this, isn't this a thief??"

"If it's a thief film, then, wouldn't this be a collision with Luo Qing's new film??"

"The subject matter has crashed!!"

After being stunned, there was a sudden uproar on the field, and every reporter showed excitement on their faces.

That's fucking big news.

As for the stage, Lin Chen continued: "The male protagonist of "No Thieves in the World" is He Hong, the heroine is Gao Jingjing, in addition, our signed artist Zhang Yuqiang is also one of the leading actors..."

Offstage.

Zhao Zichu's eyes gradually brightened: "Lin Chen really used the newcomer as the starring role, it seems that this is going to create a god, but who is He Hong?"

It's not just Zhao Zichu.

Other reporters were also a little puzzled.

What kind of immortal is He Hong?

A popular student in the entertainment industry?

It seems that there is no such person.

There is a way to ask Zhang Zhao if you are undecided about internal affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you are undecided about foreign affairs.

No, it's a matter of asking Du Niang about everything.

Xia Bei suddenly exclaimed: "Editor-in-chief, this He Hong is Donny's ex-boyfriend!!"

......
