Chapter 242: The Age of Capital
The excitement that the proposal brought to Peng Yichen and Yu Jing lasted for a whole week, and they spent a happy holiday in the Maldives.
During the week of vacation in the Maldives, Yu Jing watched the movie called "Journey to the West" countless times.
Every time she watched it, she got a different feeling.
The first time she watched it, she felt that this was a comedy romance movie, which was funny and interesting, but it was just a fantasy movie that borrowed the world background and characters of Journey to the West.
The second time she watched it, she realized that it was a story about a man's compromise and helplessness in the face of reality from the simplicity of the true temperament of the "Supreme Treasure" to the "Monkey King".
But when she saw it for the third time, she suddenly found that this was really the deepest love movie, from the past life to this life, Supreme Treasure used everything to find her love, but in the end she found that she didn't know that what she really loved was actually Zixia 500 years ago.
She asked Peng Yichen many times why the ending of this movie was so sad, wasn't this the movie he used to propose, and why couldn't Supreme Treasure and Zixia have a happy ending.
Peng Yichen told her that the current ending is the best happy ending.
Because the part that belongs to the Monkey King goes to the West Heaven like a dog to seek the true scriptures, this is the responsibility to face reality.
The part that belongs to the Supreme Treasure will continue to stay by Zixia's side and accompany her to old age, which is the persistence of love and ideals.
Yu Jing seemed to understand his explanation, but he didn't understand more, but it was a pity that every time Peng Yichen said this, he always deliberately diverted the topic and was unwilling to explain it anymore.
Yu Jing could only read the script repeatedly by herself, trying to understand Peng Yichen's innermost thoughts.
……
On October 20th, Kyoto has entered late autumn.
Just when the Chinese entertainment industry was still discussing the finale of "Red", Peng Yichen and Yu Jing had just quietly returned to Kyoto from the Maldives.
In the days that followed, the two spent all their minds preparing for the movie and preparing for the wedding.
According to the plan of the two, after the release of "Journey to the West", the two will go to the small town of Gisborne, New Zealand, to hold a simple wedding.
Gisborne is the first city in the world to greet the sun every morning and is renowned for its food, wine and surf beaches. Having a wedding under the first light of day in the world is very memorable for the couple.
The choice of this wedding location was not for Yu Jing, who likes romance, but for Peng Yichen, who has always been sullen.
In his previous life, he had seen a love movie about Gisborne, and although that movie was very ordinary, it made the small town of Gisborne beautiful.
Since then, Peng Yichen has always thought that when he got married, it would be perfect if the wedding was held in this small city.
Yu Jing listened to his explanation, read the introduction of this small city from the Internet, and felt that this place was very suitable for holding a wedding ceremony, so she agreed to Peng Yichen's proposal.
At the wedding, both of them only planned to invite only relatives and close friends of both parties to attend. After the wedding, the two immediately went on their honeymoon and completed a trip around the world
Therefore, the most important thing to prepare for marriage is not the wedding ceremony itself, but how to get dozens of relatives and friends safely to Gisborne and then send them home safely.
Yu Jing took all of this matter.
……
and Peng Yichen is responsible for preparing for the filming of "Journey to the West".
"Journey to the West" can be said to be the first movie that Peng Yichen has filmed, which requires a lot of special effects.
In the previous life, when Xing Ye and Liu Zhenwei filmed this movie, due to the limitations of technology and investment, they could only use Xiangjiang's 'local method' to complete the special effects shooting, and complete the shots of the fairy and demon fighting methods in the movie.
But now that Peng Yichen is in 2008, Huaxia's scientific and technological level is still higher than the domestic scientific and technological level in the previous life, so the special effects shots in this "Journey to the West" must no longer be completed with the local methods in the previous life.
Fortunately, during the broadcast of "Red", Chen Jing Film Company has completed the acquisition of 55% of the equity of the Digital Technology Training Center of Kyoto Film Academy with 65 million.
The special effects production team led by Zhou Jingqi, although it is not the top in Hollywood, is already the most skilled in China.
Therefore, Peng Yichen basically stayed in the training center in the past few days, taking the script of "Journey to the West" and Zhou Jingqi to calculate the special effects production costs of the movie.
In the end, the two determined that the investment cost of the whole film of "Journey to the West" was at least 170 million, of which 110 million was all used for special effects production.
The remaining 70 million went to filming.
With the vigorous development of the Chinese film market in the past two years, the cost of publicity has also been rising, so the publicity cost of "Journey to the West" needs at least about 30 million.
The total investment of the entire film needs to be at least 200 million Chinese coins.
Spending such a huge amount of money to make a movie is too risky for an emerging film company like Chen Jing Film Company.
You must know that so far in 2008, Chen Jing Film has spent 80 million yuan to shoot the TV series "Red" and spent 180 million yuan to acquire Chang'an Film Studio.
Plus the 65 million spent on the purchase of shares in the Digital Technology Training Center.
At the beginning of the year, the 410 million cash in Chen Jing Film Company's account is now only 85 million.
Fortunately, Shanghai TV purchased more than 86 million yuan for the premiere rights of "Red", which has been received one after another.
According to the signed revenue ladder sharing agreement, Aiqiqi will also pay at least 250 million revenue sharing to Chen Jing Film Company next month.
This keeps the company's capital chain from breaking.
But if the company is asked to take out 200 million yuan at once and only make a movie, then the company's capital chain is likely to break next year.
This is what Peng Yichen does not want to see.
Therefore, naturally, he made a decision, that is, to pull in several film companies and invest in the co-production of "Journey to the West".
And the first partner he chose to cooperate with was, of course, Huimin Film and Television Company, which once brought him into the industry.
Just do it when you think of it, Peng Yichen told Sun Yizou what he thought.
Soon called the mobile phone of Gu Jiahui, chairman of Huimin Film and Television.
The phone was quickly connected, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while.
What Peng Yichen didn't expect was that before he could say that he wanted to cooperate in making a movie, Gu Jiahui told him a bigger news.
On November 1, Huimin Film and Television Company will hold its last media promotion conference in Xiangjiang, and then it will be officially listed on the main board of the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange.
If the listing is successful, Huimin Film and Television Company will become the first listed company of Huaxia Entertainment Company.
At the same time, it will also be the first company listed in Xiangjiang among Huaxia Entertainment companies.
If Peng Yichen hadn't called Gu Jiahui at this time, Gu Jiahui would have contacted Peng Yichen soon.
Because, Peng Yichen has the right to buy at least 100 million original shares of Huaxia Coin Huimin Film and Television Company according to 50% of the listing price of the stock.
This is what the two parties agreed upon when Chen Jing Studio was transformed into Chen Jing Film Company at that time.
Peng Yichen knew that Huimin Film and Television Company would become a listed company sooner or later from the day of the Shenghui Film and Television Cinema Line, a joint venture between Huimin Film and Television Company and Shengda Real Estate Company.
But I didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
Peng Yichen, who has experience in his previous life, knows that from the day Huimin Film and Television Company goes public, the Huaxia film and television industry will enter the era of capital as king at the speed of a rocket.
There is not much time left for him to grow up.
