Chapter 53 Capital
Wu Kebo, background unknown.
In the early years, he broke into RB and accumulated a lot of contacts in the business and entertainment circles.
In '98, he hooked up with Tetsuya Komuro, and the two of them partnered to open a company, mainly in the business of music production.
It's a pity that the company didn't produce any influential newcomers or works, but through the name of music, disco is a family cover.
Two thousand years, returning to China, the first stop was set in the magic capital, and he also co-founded an entertainment company, the predecessor of Chengtian Entertainment...
This person is relatively low-key, has capital but is not publicized, and understands the truth of accumulating grain.
After the establishment of Chengtian Entertainment, it has been making a fuss, and is actually secretly paving the way in order to become a blockbuster.
The only big investment is the once popular TV series "Pink Girl" - it is said that he has a good relationship with Chen Hao...
Last year, Wang Jinghua led a team to join Chengtian, which immediately triggered huge fluctuations in the entire Chinese entertainment industry!
What does Wang Jinghua represent?
She controls a large number of celebrities and network resources in her hands, from the mainland to Hong Kong, almost all of them are first-line, including Chen Zhiming, Liu Jialing, Liang Jiahui and other big names.
Chengtian raised the flag fiercely with an absolutely high-tension attitude!
The previous mainland entertainment circles, movies and TV series: Huayi and Hai Run.
The former has big names and works;
Although the latter has no big stars, the TV series produced is extremely good, and the two sides are inherently intrigued, at least on the surface.
Halfway through, Chengtian tore his face, and cut the pattern into a three-legged tripod.
This is a good thing for actors and directors, multiple companies, multiple choices!
You don't need to stand in line...
After digging Wang Jinghua, Chengtian's first play was "Red Cliff"!
......
Lu Xiaoran pushed open the box and walked in.
Tangtang hurriedly got up: "... This is our President Yu, and my good friend, Qi Ji!"
"Mr. Yu, look up for a long time!" Lu Xiaoran hurriedly stretched out his hand.
Qi Ji pointed to his face: "What about me?"
"Old Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Qi Ji is also Lu Xiaoran's classmate.
He, like Tangtang, is a newcomer signed by Yu Fu, and after signing, let the two of them form a CP...
Filming movies and commercials are all together, bundled with hype.
If one of them is on fire, the other can also be stained with some light.
Tangtang's earliest movies were all about playing a couple with him...
It is not only the company's strategy, but also a means to protect their own people, telling outsiders that the woman has a master - of course, when you encounter the kind of person who doesn't care if you have a master or not, even if you are married, you still want to try it, then there is no way...
This kind of shamelessness is still in the minority.
By the way, what is Qi Ji...
Yu Fu smiled and said, "I heard that you are classmates?"
"Yes, the three of us are classmates, this is Cao Binkun, who plays Xie Ruolin in "Latent", and Mu Wanqiu of Tangtang is a pair, I will bring him to Tangtang to see!"
Cao Binkun smiled innocently: "Mr. Yu is good!"
Tangtang glanced at Cao Binkun a little curiously, and the latter smiled at her...
"Lao Cao is very powerful, his acting skills are this!"
Lu Xiaoran raised his thumbs...
Tangtang picked up the wine glass: "Really? Then when the time comes, I have to trouble Mr. Cao for guidance..."
Lao Cao was a little embarrassed, quickly got up, and said modestly: "Don't don't, this is my first time filming a TV series..."
"King Chuzhuang has not sounded for three years, he is amazing, he has not flown for three years, and he has soared into the sky!"
"Mr. Yu laughed..."
The atmosphere was very good, until Yu Fu said "Red Cliff"...
"Now they are talking about Chinese films going out, and the upper class wants to go to the United States, but I don't think so, I think it should be based on the local radiation in East Asia!"
"Hua Yi spent a lot of effort to drum up "Big Names", I heard that there are only three theaters in the United States, and after three days of release, it was not taken offline, and the box office has not reached 1,000 dollars!"
"Americans don't watch pure Chinese movies at all, and they are not interested in the Chinese context at all!"
"Three Kingdoms is different!"
"We're going to do 'Red Cliff', and the story of the Three Kingdoms is so familiar to East Asian audiences, especially those in China, RB and South Korea, that they can almost casually name every important person and every important battle. As long as it is filmed, it will definitely be a big hit at the box office."
This makes a lot of sense, the U.S. market is, of course, the world's largest film market, but U.S. audiences treat foreign films a bit like the Qing Dynasty people treat foreign cultures.
The decades of Hollywood cinema have made American audiences form the habit of watching only local movies.
Chinese films, if there is no place to hunt for curiosity, such as "Hero", it is difficult to sell!
"Big Names", found Guan Zhilin, Donald Sutherland, Paul Mazunsky, thinking of fighting the North American box office, and then...
It's a bit of a shame...
Lu Xiaoran nodded: "The theme of the Three Kingdoms is familiar in East Asia, as long as it is not too bad, it will definitely be a big hit at the box office." ”
This husky told him that although Wu Baige's "Red Cliff" is a bunch of rags, it is indeed profitable, and it is a big seller in East Asia, especially in Japan...
But he also said that it was a thunder drama...
He didn't really want to know how it happened.
Anyway, he doesn't have a good impression of the people in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
So, he just echoed and said, and had no intention of continuing to talk.
Yu Fu frowned, then his expectation should be that Lu Xiaoran would praise a few words, and then he would make an invitation...
If you don't hold it, how can I pretend to be forced?
changed the subject: "Xiaoran should know the relationship between Chengtian and Riben, right?"
"I probably know a little bit," Lu Xiaoran continued to smile...
Wu Kebo himself started in Japanese benzene, so the relationship between Chengtian and Japanese benzene can be imagined, and Chengtian Entertainment itself has Japanese benzene funds.
"Lu Xiaoran, come to our Chengtian, there is a Japanese market, you...!"
Yu Fu simply picked out the topic...
Tangtang and Qi Ji, including Cao Binkun, all looked up at Lu Xiaoran...
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand: "It's better to say goodbye." ”
Directly refused, without even a little excuse or hesitation...
Before Xin Baoyuan wanted to sign him, he also said his reasons, although it was a bit nonsense...
He didn't go to the muddy waters of the clear sky!
There is now all kinds of chaos within Chengtian, and the top management is also in turmoil...
Chengtian is a company that has the best strength in the entire Chinese entertainment industry on paper, and has a large number of artists, but unfortunately, it has no use for eggs - it does not have the ability to make blood!
Then you can only cooperate with Hong Kong and Taiwan directors.
Hehe, those people are not easy to match, they only recognize money and don't recognize people's goods, he made a movie, whether he can sell it for money, it depends on your ability, hit the street, you can't blame the director, people have misses!
Unlike Huayi, with Feng Xiaogang and other bigwigs in the Beijing circle, a batch of fresh blood will soon be replenished.
Joining Chengtian at this time, he is not a fool!
Yu Fu's expression was slightly stunned, and then he asked, "Can you tell me the reason?"
The reason is easy to find, and there are ready-made ones that are 'it's convenient for one person...'
But Lu Xiaoran didn't say so, but asked rhetorically: "I don't know what Mr. Yu thinks of the big sale of "Stone"?"
"The right time, the right movie..."
"You think it's a coincidence?"
"Of course, in the domestic film market at this stage, you still have to watch blockbusters, and the audience likes big scenes!"
Lu Xiaoran: "... I don't see it that way, I think the audience is a little tired of the so-called blockbuster. ”
"Tired of watching?"
