Chapter 218: Enemy of Fate
In November 2oo1, the movie "Youth Musical" entered the filming stage...... The movie with an investment of 2.35oo yuan, during the filming process, Wang Qinian has not been hyped, and the media has been hyped for free.
This makes Wang Qinian have to consider secrecy to avoid spoilers in advance of the movie.
A large amount of media exposure makes the prospects of the film very optimistic. In terms of only 5oo investment cost, there should not be much profit problem.
The small partner company is thriving. Not to mention, the online game "The Great Sage" has become a high-efficiency money printing machine, and the number of players and profitability have increased significantly every month.
The film business of the small partner company has already shown its hegemony.
"Youth Musical", which is still in the filming stage, is not mentioned for the time being, but the other two films invested by the partner company - "Who Says I Don't Care" won 14oo box office, and "My Brothers and Sisters" swept 18oo movie box office.
And how much do these two movies cost? The investment in "Who Says I Don't Care" is only 15o yuan. And "My Brothers and Sisters" only took 1oo million to complete.
Both of these are low-cost box office dark horses, and the reputation and influence of the movies are not low.
It can be said that since the establishment of the small partner company, it has almost won many battles in the film market, and there are almost few films with a box office of less than 10 million!
This also fully proves that the phrase "produced by small partners must be high-quality" is not bragging!
……
However, Wang Qinian didn't know that his old enemy, Shanshan Entertainment Company, was also officially established. Though. Shanshan Entertainment's registered capital is only $5O.
But in reality, the rent of the office and the salaries of the employees were paid entirely by the Colombian company.
In addition, Shanshan Entertainment's capital strength is virtual, and if necessary, Columbia Pictures can directly transfuse blood to Shanshan Entertainment in the name of borrowing money for financing.
In an office building not far from the company.
Xu Shanshan looked down at the small partner company opposite is signboard if, holding a pair of high-definition binoculars, even. You can see the internal office scene of the small partner's company.
Half an hour later. She sneered: "Even if you are talented, your financial resources are a little worse!" ”
"Mr. Xu, yours are right!" Jeff, a golden-eyed professional manager who speaks fluent Chinese, said with a smile. Jeff. Originally, he was a cadre of the Taiwan branch of Colombia. Because of business needs. Transferred to the BJ office. was originally a promising young man, but unexpectedly took the initiative to invite Ying to Shanshan Entertainment Company as Xu Shanshan's deputy.
The reason for this is that Jeff actually fell in love with the iceberg beauty Xu Shanshan at first sight. Although Xu Shanshan has no feelings for him, she still has no regrets.
Xu Shanshan looked at Jeff coldly, and suddenly took out a script from the drawer, and said: "This is the copy of the script of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" that I got through the inside line of my little partner company!" Although there is no core song score, and it is not the final revised version, it is already very valuable for reference! ”
"Youth Musical"?" After Jeff looked at it, he quickly praised it, "Beautiful script and creativity, no wonder Wang Qinian can succeed!" ”
"If I change this script and shoot a film with a similar plot and snipe "Youth Singing and Dance", will it be very interesting?!" Xu Shanshan said.
“ok!” Jeff said, "What is eye-catching about this script is that it has refurbished an outdated song and dance movie into a youth idol movie, and the most difficult part is the music!" If you want a movie to be a big hit, you have to have some music that will make the audience's ears light up! ”
"There is a singer named Jay Chou who has recently risen in Taiwan, and his music level is great! Can you ask him to make a movie, music album and film production and operation simultaneously? Xu Shanshan suddenly had a whim.
"This ......," Jeff said, "is a good idea, but Jay Chou is from Al Company!" ”
"Al music? Haven't heard of it! Xu Shanshan said.
"A Taiwanese music company, Wu Zongxian has shares in this company, and it is also the company signed by Jay Chou!" Jeff said, "Before, when I was in Taiwan, I also paid attention to Jay Chou. However, Wu Zongxian and Jay Chou have a good relationship, and it is estimated that they can't dig it! ”
"What if Sony acquires Al Music?" Xu Shanshan suddenly thought.
"Mergers?" Jeff was surprised that it was too strange to merge this company in order to get a singer to participate in this movie.
Jay Chou's debut was in 1997, when he participated in a music program "The Newcomer King" hosted by Wu Zongxian. At the same time, Fang Wenshan, who wrote lyrics for Jay Chou, also signed a contract with Al Music.
The scale of the Al Music company has always been relatively small. Until November 2ooo, he produced Jay Chou's album "Jay", so Alpha Music quickly rose and became a big company. And from 2ooo to 2oo7, Jay Chou's cooperation with Al was also his peak. Most of the widely circulated Jay Chou songs were created during this time.
"If you want to use the same movie theme to snipe "Youth Musical", you must have better music!" Xu Shanshan said firmly, "Many kings and queens of the older generation are eating their old books, and they no longer have such strength, and they are too old to make youth idol films!" I think, Jay Chou is very good! If he is included in Sony, not only for our films, but also for the possibility that he will become a trend-setting new generation of Chinese music kings! ”
"Alright! I'll try to help you lobby the company! Jeff gritted his teeth.
Xu Shanshan nodded, looking very satisfied.
Jeff's identity is actually not simple. He is actually the son of a chaebol in the United States, although he may not have the right to inherit. But Sony still looks at him differently. Therefore, after graduating from university, Jeff went to Asia to experience experience, and after joining Sony, he quickly received the care of Sony's senior management.
Although his position is not high, he can talk to the top management of the Sony Group. Xu Shanshan also used Jeff's energy to achieve her own ambitions.
Of course, the cost of merging Al Music is not very expensive. After all, Al is only a rookie in the music industry who has become popular this year, and there are no stars under his umbrella except Jay Chou. And Jay Chou has just released his first album, and although he has become a dark horse, he is not regarded as a superstar in the industry.
As a result, Sony acquired the music industry rookie for only $5oo dollars after approaching Al, making it a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony's music camp.
Soon, Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan were also sent to BJ to cooperate with Shanshan Entertainment Company to produce a new song and dance movie and music album for Zuò!
Xu Shanshan and Jeff will not realize how much of a wave their unintentional actions will cause. I would never have thought that Jay Chou would have such huge potential and energy!
If you talk about the memory of music after 8o, the most profound impact for the vast majority of people may be Jay Chou. Later, Jay Chou was the memory of music after 8O, even if he was not a fan of Jay Chou, he rarely heard Jay Chou's songs. (To be continued!)
