The New Year's Eve concert is a lively picture, and it wants a strong star lineup. The audience will not particularly applaud the excitement of the show, but they will definitely boo because there are not enough "stars" and they are not bright enough.

The 2016 ATV New Year's Eve Concert was finally held on January 26 at the Xiangjiang Hongzhan Stadium, with nearly 100 stars attending!

The guests present were not only film and television companies that have cooperated with Red Star Media in the mainland, but also a number of local giants and big names in Hong Kong.

Stephen Zhao also sent an invitation to TB TV, but no one came.

The biggest one present was Qian Qiang, the boss of Huaxia Star, and the other was An Zijie, the boss of the cinema chain "Asia Cinema" with strong film distribution capabilities, An Zijie is in his fifties this year and nearly sixty years old. The release of many blockbusters in China relied on this old comrade a few years ago, and no one else could play it except him.

Of course, in recent years, with the strong box office market of Chinese films, there have been more theater companies with "strong" overseas distribution capabilities, so Asian theaters have a bit of a heroic twilight flavor.

Rao is like this, and Asian cinemas are also giants that should not be underestimated.

On the issue of the distribution of the movie "Painted Skin" in various countries in Southeast Asia, Han Minzhong found this person to help, speaking of which, Stephen Zhao and him are also partners.

"It's a great honor for Boss An to come." An Zijie walked into the gymnasium accompanied by Han Minzhong, and Stephen Zhao immediately said goodbye to the other guests he was talking to and greeted him warmly.

"Boss Zhao is humble, in the future, I will rely on Boss Zhao more." An Zijie does not put on the shelf of his predecessors, and looks very easy-going.

Zhao Xingchi didn't dare to slack off, he knew it. The more easy-going the giant, the greater the energy, and the most ruthless and decisive to move; Only the kind of person who has an appearance needs to rely on the superficial voice to make a name for him. Of course, the main reason why An Zijie is so easy-going with him is that his status today is on par with An Zijie, and even An Zijie is the sunset. He is the rising sun, not the same day.

The two chatted politely for a while, during which they inevitably talked about the distribution and release of "Painted Skin" in Southeast Asia.

"The box office on the Xinpo side has performed well, and it has exceeded $1 million in fifteen days of release, and the attendance rate is still good; Because of the turbulent situation in Malaysia, the box office results are not ideal, and the box office performance has not exceeded 500,000 US dollars in 20 days of release, and the attendance rate is not optimistic, and it is estimated that it will be drawn soon. As for the Dai country. Nixi, Feibin, and those places, the box office performance is still ideal...... "Due to the relationship of time, An Zijie just gave a general introduction to Stephen Zhao.

At the beginning of "Painted Skin", it was only released in three places, the mainland, Xiangjiang, and Mazu Island.

Among them, "Painted Skin" created a box office of more than 900 million in the mainland, shocking the entire Chinese entertainment industry; On Mazu Island, "Painted Skin" has also been enthusiastically sought after by fans. The box office results have soared, and it's time for the next painting. set a box office success of 50 million; In Xiangjiang, "Painted Skin" created a good result of breaking 2 million in three days as soon as it was released, but from the third day, it encountered the sniping of Xiangjiang's local film "Undercover", and began to be unadaptable. still created a box office result of 20 million.

After the first round of screenings in China, the total box office of "Painted Skin" successfully exceeded 1 billion, reaching 1.05 billion!

After the end of "Painted Skin" in China, the screening of other Asian countries and regions officially kicked off. Although the movies that are popular in China are not necessarily popular in other Asian countries and regions, they are at least a weather vane. After all, Asia has been deeply influenced by Chinese culture for more than 5,000 years, and people's thinking and aesthetic standards have a lot in common.

Stephen Zhao actually knew about the release of "Painted Skin" in various Asian countries and regions from the company as early as the company, but it was only two days ago, and it was no better than An Zijie to get first-hand information for the first time.

At this time, listening to An Zijie's introduction, it seems that "Painted Skin" has a tendency to sweep Asia, which makes Stephen Zhao slightly happy, and his tired spirit is also lifted after being busy for too long.

In addition to An Zijie, there are also some well-known filmmakers, film and television producers, media people and so on in Xiangjiang.

Of course, among these guests, there are naturally stars from all walks of life in Xiangjiang.

Thanks to the relationship between Huaxia Xingxing's boss Qian Qiang, as long as Zhao Xingchi sent an invitation, unless he was really busy, he rushed over to cheer, and even Lin Yun-fat, the "God of Acting" who became depressed because of the defeat of "The Legend of Sword and Heaven" to "Painted Skin", also came to the scene.

"Ah Fa, here!" Qian Qiang, who was sitting in the position, saw him when Lin Yun-fat just walked through the red carpet and walked into the gymnasium, and immediately beckoned to him.

Lin Yunfa was stunned for a moment, and immediately walked over to him with the most perfect smile, and when he walked in front of him, he bowed his head slightly and greeted: "Brother Qiang!" ”

Qian Qiang let out a "hmm", stretched out his finger and pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "This is your position." ”

Although Lin Yun-fat was unhappy, he immediately sat down after nodding.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Lin Yun-fat and Qian Qiang is far from being as harmonious as it seems on the surface, because Lin Yun-fat is a clean and self-righteous person in the entertainment industry, but Qian Qiang is the boss of the club, how can the two coexist in harmony? The real relationship is a semi-forced relationship, and Qian Qiang half-coerced Lin Yun-fat to help him make money. In fact, this matter has been circulating all over the world, especially after the rise of the Internet, almost everyone knows about it, but because there is no dry goods, no one believes it.

As early as the early 90s, during the golden age of Xiangjiang films, Qian Qiang, a club boss, saw that making movies was very profitable, so he also had the idea of joining the film industry, and soon put it into practice.

The club boss is a character who is used to fighting and killing, how can he make movies honestly?

Are there cats in the world that don't eat fish?

Therefore, soon, Qian Qiang first registered and founded an empty shell film company, and then sent his younger brother to invite the director, screenwriter, and actors over for tea, so that they could find a way to make the movie. When he is happy, he will put some money into it; However, many times, he is a white wolf with empty gloves, and he doesn't give a penny, so he lets these people find a way to get sponsorship.

Screenplay? Screenwriters and directors to think.

Actor? Whatever the director can choose!

What equipment and props should be used for shooting? Rent them all!

Funding for the shoot? The director and actor initiate the relationship and go to the sponsorship themselves!

As for whether these people will be obedient, Qian Qiang doesn't care, if he is obedient, he will give you some benefits, if he is disobedient, send a book over, and then put a gun in the book.

It was a time of chaos and madness.

Although Lin Yun-fat is very famous, he is still not enough to see in the face of a club boss like Qian Qiang. At the beginning, he was still stubborn that he didn't shoot, and after the last time, Qian Qiang personally went out and forced him to join the club and become the club's pony boy. As a result, Lin Yun-fat had to give in.

Later, when Xiangjiang returned, the dictatorship of the central government was shining with iron fist, and a move of "five-star dazzling world" knocked all the associations down, and bigwigs such as Qian Qiang had to clamp their tails and be a man, honestly bleaching to be a serious businessman, and Lin Yun-fat was out of the "clutches".

Up to now, Lin Yun-fat's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and he can already sit on an equal footing with Qian Qiang, but when facing Qian Qiang, he is still very unnatural and uncomfortable, and often thinks of those "grievances" in the past, and he also dare not resist.

It's very simple, the bandit Jinpan has washed his hands, he is still a bandit, and if he is angry, he will still rob you.

"Ah Fa, is there a schedule to help me make a movie after the Chinese New Year?"

Waiting for Lin Yun-fat to sit down, Qian Qiang smoked a cigar and asked lightly: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, in addition to me, the investors of this movie are also this cross-river raptor from the mainland." He's still writing the script, but he wants you to participate by name. You think about it, think about it and reply to me, I'm not in a hurry. ”

Lin Yun-fat really wanted to refuse directly, he had vowed never to take on any more movies invested by Qian Qiang, but as soon as he heard that the other investor was Stephen Zhao and the script was also written by Stephen Zhao, he immediately hesitated.

"What type of film?" He asked, thinking: "It's not too late to ask clearly and then decide, Zhao Xingchi is still very powerful." ”

When an actor reaches the point of Lin Yun-fat, he has earned enough money and spent several lifetimes; The fame is also there, and no matter how much you do it, it won't drop the price. Therefore, simple money is not enough to make him interested in filming, what he values is those roles with depth, different roles, or acting with other actors.

It's hard to get high in the cold, and that's true in every industry.

For the masters, their interest is to compete with the masters!

"A gambling movie!" Qian Qiang replied lightly, but a look of confusion appeared on his face. Although this look was fleeting, he was still caught by Lin Yun-fat.

Lin Yun-fat didn't know what Qian Qiang was confused about, maybe like him, he was confused about why Stephen Zhao would choose to make a gambling movie, so he continued to ask: "What kind of gambling movie is it?" Did Zhao Sheng say anything else? "If you say anything else, you might be able to deduce clues.

It's a pity, Qian Qiang quickly shook his head and replied to him: "No, he only said that it was a gambling movie, and then said that the role he gave you is very exciting, even if it can't be the most classic role, but it will definitely be the most well-known role!" ”

"Really?" Lin Yun-fat had deep doubts, but he couldn't help but look forward to it.

Speaking of which, Stephen Zhao's creations in literature and art have always been very powerful. Whether it's a novel, a script, or music, it's all something ordinary people can't.

Perhaps, this time Stephen Zhao will surprise him!

"Friends from the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, how are you?" In the passionate music, Stephen Zhao ran onto the stage...... (To be continued......)
