The fifty-third round approved the project
In Kyoto in September, the heat is still scorching during the day, but the night is as cool as water.
When Peng Yichen returned to Kyoto from Chang'an, he actually felt a little cordial.
Chang'an and Kyoto are the ancient capitals of several dynasties, but one bears the glory of history and the other shoulders the center of today.
He has been gone for almost 3 months, and a lot of things have happened to Huimin Film and Television Company.
The three films released this year were all great successes, with the lowest box office at 130 million and the highest box office at 300 million.
The whole company is in high spirits.
The popularity of the film market in China this year has made the capital market ready to move, and everyone is waiting for a movie that can break the highest box office record after two years of silence.
Peng Yichen was called back by Xiao Min on a phone call.
On the phone, he first scolded him with a slap in the face.
The contracted actors of her own company have made a movie, and even the crew is almost formed, and she, the person in charge of the company responsible for production, only knows.
And I haven't even seen the movie script until now, do you think she can not be angry?
When she finished scolding, Peng Yichen told her what Chang'an Film Studio meant.
Xiao Min thought about it, Wu Tianliang, a big man in the film industry, values this movie so much, even if it is not the kind of film that explodes at the box office, it must be excellent in artistry.
Huimin Film and Television has been very successful in commercial films in recent years, and has even begun to cooperate with Shengda, the country's No. 1 real estate development company, to establish a cinema line.
But in terms of the number of art films and film awards, they were defeated by their old rival Lido Film and Television.
For two consecutive years, only one of Zhang Xingping's art films has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Yanhuang Film Festival, but it has only received 3 nominations, and there is no award for the award.
This is a very negative image for a film company, although the audience will always like to watch commercial movies, but it is the movies that have won awards that can be remembered.
It is very dangerous to solidify in the minds of the audience the image that you are just a company that can only make "popcorn" movies.
Therefore, although Peng Yichen did not go through the company's review this time, he made up a movie crew by himself, but Xiao Min didn't want to really punish him for this.
From the very beginning, Xiao Min knew that Peng Yichen was not an ordinary young actor, and his own ideas and ambitions could not develop according to the company's planning and command.
So she has always had a free-range attitude towards Peng Yichen, just to see where this young man can go without the company's resources tilting.
But what she didn't expect was that this young man's ambition and ability were so great, and he could pull up a crew in just a few months, and he was about to write, direct, and act in a movie and go to the big screen.
And there are big guys like Wu Tianliang behind him to support him behind him.
How deep this kid's water is, Xiao Min is getting more and more unable to see clearly.
When Peng Yichen walked into the company's office building, most of the staff had already left work.
But when I entered the office area of the Ministry of Economic Services, Zhu Yuxin, the little sister who used to serve tea and pour water, was still sitting at the front desk.
She is no longer a clerk in the office, but a receptionist at the front desk, and her good looks have risen relatively quickly.
"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't you miss me. "Zhu Yuxin is still so simple, a few months have passed, and everything in the Economic Service Department seems to have not changed.
"Haha, of course. Look, I brought you a set of Hanfu from Chang'an, and many people are wearing this now. You'll definitely look good on it. ”
Peng Yichen took out a bag of clothes from his backpack and handed it to her.
Several people he knew in the company, he prepared some small gifts. When you go home from a long distance, you always have to bring something, so it's not rude.
"Well, thank you, Brother Chen, Mr. Xiao is waiting for you in the office, you can go quickly. By the way, if you want a drink, I'll send it to you later. Zhu Yuxin happily accepted Peng Yichen's gift.
She is much calmer now, it seems that everyone is growing and changing, Peng Yichen thought that everything had not changed, it was just his own illusion.
"Okay, I'll go. Just bring me a cup of hot tea, thank you. ”
Peng Yichen nodded, turned around and walked towards Xiao Min's office.
…………
"Mr. Xiao, what do you think of this script, is the company willing to release it?" Peng Yichen sat on the sofa opposite Xiao Min and asked Xiao Min's opinion.
In fact, he knew that it was impossible for Xiao Min to refuse.
The investment is so low, and there is Wu Tianliang's endorsement, and the release of such a movie will make a lot of money.
What's even better is that the crew is set up by Chang'an Film Studio, Huimin Film and Television only needs to promote it simply, and then find a theater that often cooperates with it to arrange 3 or 4 hundred screens to be released and distributed, and you can add an art film to your film library, and by the way, you may even earn one or two million, why not.
In Xiao Min's eyes, this movie can indeed only earn one or two million, and this is still counting the influence of Zhao Jianguo, who has been confirmed to star, so she dares to calculate the box office income like this.
As a producer who has been making commercial films all year round, a movie like "Twelve Warriors" is a pure literary film with a single scene, a single content, and a single plot in Xiao Min's heart.
If Zhao Jianguo didn't play one of the roles, she didn't even think that the movie would have theaters willing to release it.
Although he is very unoptimistic, Xiao Min is unwilling to give up, because the cost is very low, which may be the biggest advantage of this movie.
"Okay, I won't talk about you anymore, next time remember to talk to the company first if you have something. Xiao Min smiled and let go of Peng Yichen.
"Also, you have borne all the investment in this movie, but the publicity and distribution costs are at least 30-400,000 yuan, and you can't afford this, so the company will bear it. I will arrange for Mr. Sun to be the producer of this film, he is your agent, and it is more convenient for him to communicate and cooperate with Chang'an Film Studio on behalf of the company. This movie is all your personal investment, the company will not take a draw, and the final box office income will be settled for you according to the proportion of your investment, no opinion. ”
Now that he has made up his mind, Xiao Min will arrange things resolutely.
"No comment, thank you Mr. Xiao for your support. That's fine, I won't disturb your rest. ”
Peng Yichen didn't expect Xiao Min to be so good at talking, so he quickly got up and thanked him.
"Okay, you don't have to thank me, I'll thank you for saving me some snacks in the future. I didn't even say anything about Yu Jing last time......"
"Hehe, that's a disaster without reason, a disaster without reason. ”
Now Peng Yichen couldn't hear the word Yu Jing mentioned to him by others, and his heart twitched a little when he heard it.
When he was on Earth, he only had a girlfriend who was like a "wife", and in the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was a lifelong soldier, married Princess Pingyang, and was also a political marriage.
Until Yu Jing "dated" him, he had never officially dated the girl he liked at all.
Although he has always warned himself not to touch his true feelings, Yu Jing went on a date that night, after losing the disguise of a big star.
That kind of innocence and childishness still made him, an "old man", couldn't help but be moved.
But he could only press this mind back to the depths of his heart.
