Chapter 213: "The Return of the Great Sage" (7000 words, thanks to the head of the "Attack on the Macro Giant")
"Hey, Sister Mi, what are you doing?" Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Yo, Boss Chen, are you willing to call me?" Yang Mi said mockingly.
"Hehe, I forgot my phone last night, didn't I just get it and called you." Chen Jing said.
"Really!?" Yang Mi said noncommittally, "I thought you were eaten alive by three little goblins!" ”
"How can it, besides, no demon has a honey sister demon, the kind that doesn't pay for the death!" Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Hmph, I should have killed you!" Yang Mi said hatefully, "Forget it, let's get down to business, do Xiaodi, Mina and Tianai have a schedule from March to June?" ”
"Xiaodi has it, but Mina and Tianai I arranged a movie for them." Chen Jing said.
"Huanrui Century and Pain Xun collaborated on an urban romantic drama "Micro Era", I am the producer, and at the same time special starring." Yang Mi said, "Mina and Tianai don't have time, so I'll take Xiaodi." ”
"Then I'll thank Sister Mi for Xiaodi." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Hmph, no sincerity at all!" Yang Mi said proudly.
"In that case, in two days, I will set up a table and wait for Sister Mi." Chen Jing said.
"It's pretty much the same, let's not talk about it, my sister is going to be busy." Yang Mi said.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jing rushed to Guangxian by car.
After the post-production of "To Youth" was completed, Chen Jing wanted to watch the finished film, and at the same time discussed the publicity and distribution with Guangxian and Zhao Yanzi.
"Boss Chen!" Zhao Yanzi saw Chen Jing smiling and beckoning.
"Director Zhao, such a coincidence!" Chen Jing said with a smile.
"yes, let's go up together." Zhao Yanzi said with a smile.
When they came to the viewing room, Wang Changtian and Qin Hong were already there.
Chen Jing smiled, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Wang." ”
Although Xingmei did not participate in the investment of "To Youth", because it was starring Chen Jing, she participated in the distribution.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries.
"Okay, three, how about we take a look at the finished film?" Zhao Yanzi said with a smile.
Obviously, for her debut novel, Zhao Yanzi is a little impatient.
"Then let's get down to business." Qin Hongdao.
"Okay, let's watch the film first!" Wang Changtian nodded.
Chen Jing naturally had no opinion, so "To Youth" was officially screened for the first time.
After reading it, Chen Jing felt that there was still some difference from her previous life, after all, the male and female number one had changed, but the theme plot had not changed.
The first half of the campus time was very well filmed and had a sense of substitution, but the second half of the career was unsatisfactory.
The sense of separation is more obvious!
"What do the three bosses think?" Zhao Yanzi asked with a smile.
"Mr. Chen said, this should be the campus life of youth at your age!" Wang Changtian said with a smile.
"The campus part is very realistic, and it should resonate with everyone." Chen Jing said.
"That looks like a good shot!" Wang Changtian said with a smile.
"The film is well shot, and with Chen Jing and Yang Mi starring, the box office money scene should be more optimistic!" Qin Hong echoed.
Zhao Yanzi smiled when she heard this, "That's good, if the three bosses who hurt lose money, then I will be a sinner." ”
"Haha......"
Since the film is good, the next step is publicity and distribution.
"The film is scheduled to be released on April 26." Wang Changtian said. ....This schedule is naturally aimed at the May 1st file, and on the whole, it is a more suitable schedule.
In the Chinese New Year and summer files, there are too many blockbusters, and the pressure of competition is too great, and even the National Day file has sequel blockbusters like "Di Renjie's God and Dragon King".
And on May 1st, "To Youth" is not without opponents, and the biggest threat is the Marvel superhero blockbuster "Iron Man 3".
Although there is a competitor of "Iron Man 3", Chen Jing and Guang Xian still think that May 1st is better.
After all, the better schedules are all blockbusters, and it is impossible for your family to enjoy them exclusively, and at the same time, Chen Jing and Guang Xian also hope that "To Youth" can be released sooner.
"Then, Boss Chen, you will have to spare the whole month of April to participate in the publicity." Zhao Yanzi said, "After all, you are the male number one, and you have many fans, it depends on you whether this movie succeeds or not."
By the way, there is also Mimi, the two of you also have a lot of fans of the Jingmi couple, and I believe it can also attract fans to the theater. ”
Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "Director Zhao, your words make me feel a lot of pressure!" ”
"Who made you the male number one?" Wang Changtian said, "And this is your first male number one movie, and the elves will definitely come to support it." ”
Chen Jing smiled and nodded, "Sister Mi and I will arrange a schedule to cooperate with the publicity." ”
"Okay, then I wish us a big box office hit!" Qin Hong said with a smile.
In fact, for the return of "To Youth", the pressure on Chen Jing and Guang Xian is not very great.
After all, with the popularity of Chen Jing and Yang Mi, coupled with Zhao Yanzi's appeal, the cost plus publicity is at most 50 million, that is, the box office of 150 million can be recouped, which can be said to be relatively easy to complete.
So, there's not so much pressure on everyone.
Before leaving, Wang Changtian found Chen Jing and said, "I heard that Chen invested 60 million in "Wolf Warrior"? ”
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, this kind of thing can't be hidden in the circle at all.
"Sure enough, it's a hero out of a boy!" Wang Changtian looked at Chen Jing with a strange smile.
Chen Jing estimated that Wang Changtian was laughing at his stupidity and money, but there was no evidence.
"Mr. Chen also invested in Deng Chao's "Breakup Master", so we will cooperate again." Wang Changtian said.
"Happy working together!" Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Then I don't know if Mr. Chen is interested in cooperating with us again." Wang Changtian said with a smile.
"Oh? Does Wang always have any projects that he wants to promote me? Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen is too polite, I think with Mr. Chen's spirit and age, he should be interested in this movie." Wang Changtian said.
"Really?" Chen Jing raised her eyebrows.
Listening to your words, how do you feel that you are going to trap me?
"That's right, we just got in touch with a project, which is an animated film called "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage". Wang Changtian said, "I just watched a clip, and I dared to conclude that this would be the pinnacle of domestic animated films." ”
Chen Jing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this name, it turned out to be "The Return of the Great Sage", and then Chen Jing couldn't help laughing.
In his previous life, Guangxian first invested, and then withdrew, but when the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" exploded, he spent 20 million yuan to invest in other people's studios, which can be regarded as a remedy.
"Animated films?" Chen Jing frowned when she heard this. It should be said that it is a 3D animated film, and its production effect is definitely not inferior to that of Hollywood animated films, and you should be more familiar with this than I am at your age, I suggest you talk to them and maybe you can work together. Wang Changtian said with a smile.
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, "I also like to watch animated movies, since Mr. Wang recommended it, it is better for them to go directly to Crystal Entertainment to find me, maybe it is really a good project." ”
"No problem!" Wang Changtian smiled, "Haha......"
Wang Changtian probably felt very happy to find someone to share the risk.
Maybe there is also an abacus of letting Chen Jing dub it, so as to attract fans and increase the box office, so as not to lose money.
Chen Jing looked at Wang Changtian and smiled, she really smiled happily.
It's just that what Chen Jing didn't expect was that early the next morning, Tian Xiaopeng, the director of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", came to the door.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Tian Xiaopeng, and I was introduced by the glamorous Mr. Wang." Tian Xiaopeng looked at Chen Jing and said with a smile.
"Hello, please be seated!" Chen Jing said with a smile, "I heard what Mr. Wang said, but I didn't expect Director Tian to come so soon." ”
"I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Chen." Tian Xiaopeng immediately said when he heard this.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Chen Jing couldn't help but shake her head, it seems that she is used to being rejected for investment, which causes Tian Xiaopeng to always be cautious.
"I heard from Mr. Wang that you made a 3D animated movie, I wonder if there are any clips that have been made for me to watch first?" Chen Jing asked.
"Yes, yes, I've brought them all." Tian Xiaopeng nodded immediately, then took out a USB drive from the pocket of his clothes, and offered it with both hands, "You can take a look first." ”
"Okay, then I'll take a look." Chen Jing took it with a smile and then inserted it directly, looking at it.
This is a fragment of the final battle of "The Return of the Great Sage", but it is only a short two minutes, which is no different from the memory of the previous life.
After reading it, Chen Jing returned the USB drive to Tian Xiaopeng.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think?" Tian Xiaopeng stared at Chen Jing's face and asked.
"It feels pretty good, at least it's much better than a 2D animated movie like Pleasant Goat and Bear." Chen Jing said, "If the whole film can maintain this level." ”
Tian Xiaopeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "You can rest assured, our goal is to produce a domestic 3D animation that is comparable to Hollywood animated films, and ensure that the whole film is of such a standard." ”
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, "I heard that this "Return of the Great Sage" has been in production for a while. ”
"Yes, the idea for this animated film has been around since 2007, but the first frame was made in 2011." Tian Xiaopeng said, "You know that the current domestic animated films have basically disappeared from the big screen.
Not to mention the huge investment in 3D animated films, as far as I know, the highest investment in the previous domestic animated films may be more than 10 million, but this can only produce one-fifth of "The Return of the Great Sage".
It's really hard to attract investment, at first it was all my own money, and then when I ran out of money, I went to my husband to borrow money, and then I ran out of money, so I took on the job to make money, and then invested in continuing to produce.
Later, the clips that were produced gradually attracted many investors, but they were still a drop in the bucket, until they met Guangxian who was willing to invest, and then Guangxian introduced you to me. ....I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'm a little long-winded. ”
"It's okay, but I admire your hard work." Chen Jing smiled, "In this way, let's go straight to the point, what is the total investment of "The Return of the Great Sage"? How much investment are you missing? ”
Tian Xiaopeng was instantly excited when he heard this, hearing this, Chen Jing was willing to invest.
Tian Xiaopeng hurriedly swallowed his saliva, and then stabilized his heart and said, "The total investment of "The Return of the Great Sage" is about 60 million yuan, and now we are still lacking, and we are still short of 20 million yuan of funds!" ”
"How much did you invest?" Chen Jing asked.
Tian Xiaopeng heard this, "Bright decided to invest 35 million before, but later changed it to 20 million!" ”
Chen Jing chuckled and nodded after hearing this, "Okay, the 20 million that is missing, we have invested in Crystal Entertainment." ”
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you so much." Tian Xiaopeng said excitedly.
"If I really make an animated film that can compete with Hollywood, my investment is considered a success." Chen Jing said.
"Well, Mr. Chen, don't worry, you will never be disappointed." Tian Xiaopeng said solemnly.
"By the way, I have one more project for you." Chen Jing said.
Tian Xiaopeng was puzzled when he heard this, "Project? ”
"Yes, I'd like to ask you to make an animation for my company, Crystal Entertainment, to start a corporate movie." Chen Jing said, "It's best to finish it before April 20." ”
"No problem, no problem." Tian Xiaopeng said, "You will ask me to tell me, and we will work overtime to make it for you, and ensure that there will be no overtime." ”
"Okay, then please." Chen Jing said.
After sending Tian Xiaopeng away, Chen Jing stayed in Crystal Entertainment to handle some of the company's affairs.
It wasn't until the evening that Chen Jing went to have a meal, and after ordering the dishes, she waited for Yang Mi.
"Welcome, Sister Mi, come and go!" Chen Jing smiled and took Yang Mi's bag, and reached out to make a gesture of please.
Yang Mi smiled when she heard this, "Hmm! ”
After sitting down, Yang Mi glanced at the dishes on the table, "There are so many, I can't finish eating!" ”
"It's okay, I can't finish eating, I really can't pack it and take it back." Chen Jing said with a smile.
Yang Mi nodded when she heard this, and then her jade finger came out, "I want to eat this, this, and this, and this will also have a little." ”
"Okay!" Chen Jing smiled, and then put Yang Mi in the bowl.
Yang Mi smiled happily and ate, "By the way, I heard that you took out a loan of 100 million?" ”
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, "Yes, it's almost done." ”
"Almost?" Yang Mi was taken aback when she heard this, and then raised her pretty face and said, "What have you done?" ”
"Invest in movies." Chen Jing said, "Not counting last year, just this year, I have already negotiated to invest in 4 films." ”
Yang Mi frowned when she heard this, "Wouldn't this be too risky, after all, the risk of the movie is much greater than that of the TV series, and you have a loan of 100 million, what if, I mean, what if you lose it?" ”
"If I lose money, I'll sell myself." Chen Jing said casually.
Yang Mi couldn't help but pat Chen Jing after hearing this, "I'll be serious with you." ”
"It's nothing if I lose it, anyway, I can almost pay it back just by taking the endorsement." Chen Jing said.
"Endorsement?" Yang Mi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "How much is your endorsement fee now?" "Well, it's basically 20 million 2 years, and there are 12 such endorsements." Chen Jing said while eating.
"10 million in 1 year?" Yang Mi's eyes widened when she heard this, "And there are 12 of them?" ”
"Hmm!" Chen Jing nodded and said, "I'm not much, I'm not a lot, I've been 30 million for 2 years." ”
Hearing this, Yang Mi glared at Chen Jing fiercely and said, "This is too unfair, why are you all tens of millions a year, and I am only a few million in 2 years?" ”
Chen Jing smiled after hearing this, "No way, the endorsement fee of male stars is higher than that of female stars, probably because men are more rational, but women are more emotional." ”
Male celebrity endorsements are indeed generally higher than female stars, and they are much higher.
In the traffic era of later generations, the highest endorsement fee is Lu Han and the four-character younger brother, and the highest endorsement fee is 80 million for 2 years.
And the highest actress should be the princess, 50 million 2 years!
Xiao Station, known as the last top stream, is only 30 million 2 years.
As for popular flowers like Tang Tang and Xiaoying, it is probably 20 million 2 years.
Yang Mi and Xiaodi are only 17 million 2 years!
The price of Yang Mi is low, but Yang Mi's ability to bring goods is relatively strong and cost-effective, so the number of endorsements is too large.
secretly calculated that Chen Jing's endorsement fee may be 100 million a year, so Yang Mi no longer worried, but sat directly in Chen Jing's arms and twisted around.
"You make so much money every year, you have to buy me a gift." Yang Mi said coquettishly.
Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "Buy, buy, buy, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you." ”
"Hehe, that's pretty much it." Yang Mi smiled, then smiled and opened her red lips.
Seeing this, Chen Jing went up directly, but was directly pushed away by Yang Mi, "Go, I want to eat, I'm hungry!" ”
When Chen Jing heard this, she gave vegetables to Yang Mi to eat, and the two of them quickly ate imported dishes.
"By the way, I want to invite Chen Guofu to dinner in two days." Chen Jing said, "Do you want to come?" ”
"Huayi's Chen Guofu?" Yang Mi raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
"Well, his contract with Huayi is about to expire, and I want to dig him into Crystal Entertainment." Chen Jing said, "He has good screenwriting skills, and more importantly, he is an experienced producer.
The company will invest in more and more films in the future, and it must attract behind-the-scenes talents in this area. ”
"Okay, I'll go beat you a side drum." Yang Mi said, "How about I reveal the news that I am going to join Crystal Entertainment at that time?" ”
"I'll see it." Chen Jing nodded.
The stronger the strength, the more it can naturally attract talents, and Yang Mi's joining is naturally a big help for Jingpin Entertainment.
Then the two continued to eat, but the more they ate, the hotter it became.
In the end, the two of them went to the third floor in a hurry.
……
The two of them who relieved the pain of lovesickness drove back to the big flat.
As soon as they entered the door, the two were tired of being together again.
It's just that suddenly Chen Jing's mobile phone rang, Yang Mi saw that it was Xiaoying, and immediately glared at Chen Jing, then pinched it again, directly connected it and clicked on the hands-free.
"Hey, Boss Chen, is there anything wrong with me?" Xiaoying said happily.
Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, fortunately, Xiaoying has always been more introverted, and she will not ask if she misses me or anything like Yang Mi did.
"Just finished filming?" Chen Jing asked.
"Well, just called it a day." Xiaoying said. I called to ask about your schedule. Chen Jing said, "My company is going to shoot the first TV series, and I want to star with you." ”
"Yes!" Xiaoying was very happy when she heard this, but then she said frustratedly, "I'm afraid I can't do it recently, I'm busy filming "The Legend of Chasing Fish" and "Palace Lock Agarwood".
I probably won't be idle until September, and that's if the company doesn't give me any more trips. ”
Chen Jing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this, she was going to shoot film and television dramas on her own this year, but Chen Jing's own schedule was arranged.
Yang Mi and Xiaoying's schedules are also not suitable.
"Then it looks like we'll have to wait until the beginning of next year?" Chen Jing asked.
Xiao Ying nodded helplessly, "I'm afraid yes, there is no way to do it in Haiyan now, and when I join your company next year, I can make my own decisions." ”
"Okay, let's talk about it then!" Chen Jing said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Mi hung up the phone directly, looked up at Chen Jing's handsome face and said, "Xiaoying also wants to join Crystal Entertainment?" ”
"yes, she'll join early next year when her contract expires." Chen Jing said with a smile, "When the time comes, if you join, there will be two popular flowers in Crystal Entertainment." ”
"Cut!" Yang Mi pouted and said, "She's not popular yet." ”
After speaking, Yang Mi twisted Chen Jing again, "The company's first TV series actually wants to partner with Xiaoying, what do you mean?" ”
"When people join, I have to arrange resources for others!" Chen Jing said, "Besides, you haven't joined yet, I have arranged the company's first movie for you." ”
Yang Mi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, thinking that the movie resources were better than the TV series, and she was suddenly much more comfortable.
"Alas, by the end of March, my studio should be joining Huanrui." Yang Mi said, "I don't know if Huanrui can be successfully listed." ”
In fact, Yang Mi now regrets joining Huanrui, her previous purpose was nothing more than to take a ride on Huanrui's listing and then become capital, and control her own destiny.
But seeing that Chen Jing has now become a capital and has begun to invest in film and television dramas on a large scale, why do you bother to do that, just join Crystal Entertainment directly.
What's more, there are three little beauties in Crystal Entertainment, and Xiaoying joins in, and the wolves look around at Chen Jing, and the building near the water is the first to get the moon, which is a little dangerous!
"It's best if you can be listed, and if you can't be listed, just leave Huanrui and come to me." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Well, that's the only way to do it first!" Yang Mi said, then stretched out her arms and said, "Hug me!" ”
Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "Obey!" Hey hey ......"
……
The next day, when Chen Jing came to Crystal Entertainment, everyone was smiling and busy packing up a lot of their gifts.
These are all products endorsed by Chen Jing, and this year it is one per person, as well as the Golden Snake, which is counted as a New Year's benefit.
"Happy New Year, boss!"
"Boss, you're so handsome today!"
"Long live the boss!"
……
Chen Jing listened to everyone's sycophants, "Hurry up and pack up, have a dinner at noon, and then everyone can go home for the New Year, I wish everyone a happy New Year!" ”
"Hooray!"
"Happy Chinese New Year!" "Yay! ”
……
Chen Jing came to her office to continue to deal with the company's affairs.
"Boss!" Ge Feng came in and said.
"Say!" Chen Jing said.
"The preparation of "Predecessor Raiders" is almost complete, and it is scheduled to be officially launched on March 1." Ge Feng said, "When the time comes, will you attend the press conference?" ”
"Let's see, if it's okay, I'll show up." Chen Jing said.
"And Chen Sicheng called before, "Love Story in the Imperial Capital" will start on March 10th, and then you will have to join the group directly and shoot your scene first." Ge Feng said.
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, and she communicated with Chen Sicheng in advance to shoot her own scene first.
Because Chen Jing wants to participate in the promotion of "To Youth" in April, after all, it is the first movie starring Chen Jing, in order to have a good box office, Chen Jing is still very concerned.
"There is also May 5th, "Female Appearance", no, now it should be called "The Legend of Lu Zhen" will be broadcast, and you will also participate in the promotion before, and the 20th will be your concert." Ge Feng said.
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, "I know, by the way, you help me do something, set up a crystal holding company, and you are the representative of the lawyer." ”
"Me?" Ge Feng was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes, hurry up!" Chen Jing said.
Chen Jing established Crystal Holdings in order to introduce funds in the future, then some things must be spun out.
For example, a 7.5% stake in Syllabic Beat, which will be worth more than $100 million in the future.
It is impossible for Chen Jing to let it be taken advantage of by others with the share split of Crystal Entertainment.
There are also shares of Huayi and Xingmei, and Chen Jing is ready to put all of them under Crystal Holdings.
Only let Crystal Entertainment retain Chen Jing's own studio, artists and the copyrights of those film and television dramas.
After Ge Feng left, Chen Jing looked at Crystal Entertainment's 2012 annual report.
Crystal Entertainment's main income in 2012 was a "33 Days of Broken Love", with a box office of 371 million, and Crystal Entertainment invested 5 million, accounting for 45% of the investment.
received box office dividends of 62.55 million yuan, copyright fees of 2.25 million yuan, and net profit of 50.26 million yuan after deducting taxes and costs.
In terms of expenditure, the main thing is employee wages and rent, and now Crystal Entertainment also has a scale of 20 people, with a total expenditure of about 2 million!
……
"Boss, we're coming!" Mina rushed into the private room, but when she saw that everyone in the company was there, she immediately quieted down and said politely, "Hello everyone!" ”
Xiao Di and Tian Ai behind Mina also greeted everyone quietly.
"Alright, now that we're all here, let's get started." Chen Jing said, "In 2012, our company had a lot of new employees, including Tianai, three assistants, and these few.
Then with the joint efforts of everyone, the development of crystal entertainment is very good, I hope that this year everyone will make persistent efforts and create more brilliance! Here, everyone has a toast! ”
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses.
"Okay, let's not be verbose, everyone is open to eat." Chen Jing waved his hand.
When the crowd heard this, they all started to move.
"Mr. Chen, come, I'll toast you." Yang Tianzhen said.
"Mr. Yang, I have to drink." Chen Jing said with a smile.
Yang Tianzhen said, "The company has shot a lot of movies this year, but there are still not enough manpower, and we need to continue to expand." ”
"It should." Chen Jing nodded and said, "This will trouble Mr. Yang." ”
"It's a matter of duty." Yang Tianzhen said.
"By the way, Mr. Yang, come with me tomorrow to see Chen Guofu." Chen Jing said.
Yang Tianzhen's heart moved when she heard this, "Chen Guofu is leaving Huayi?" ”
"It should be, so we're going to do our best to get him into the gang tomorrow." Chen Jing said.
Yang Tianzhen nodded when she heard this, and she also agreed with this.
Chen Guofu's qualifications and experience are valuable assets, and more importantly, Chen Guofu has no conflict with Yang Tianzhen.
Chen Guofu must be in charge of the production of film and television dramas, mainly as a producer, which is also urgently needed by Crystal Entertainment.
Yang Tianzhen focuses on brokerage and marketing, so the division of labor between the two is different, and there is not much competition.
Subsequently, everyone came to toast, and Chen Jing responded one by one, but they were all superficial.
As for the third daughter, they are quieter, after all, there are so many people, and they are not easy to be presumptuous.
When the dinner is over, everyone returns to Crystal Entertainment, and then everyone goes home with gifts for the New Year!
