Chapter 344: Tool Man
On February 9, 2015, Chen Jing came to Jingpin Entertainment again, mainly to see the company's annual work report in 2014.
In terms of brokerage business, in 2014, the turnover of Crystal Entertainment reached 125 million yuan, with Yang Mi and Xiaoying, two first-line flowers, plus Xiaodi, a new popular flower, endorsements and commercial performances one after another.
Therefore, there are only 5 artists in Crystal Entertainment who still have amazing revenue.
However, in terms of net profit, Jingpin Entertainment only received 35 million, mainly because Yang Mi and Xiaoying have a high share ratio, and the company's share is low.
And the three daughters of Meina, Tianai and Xiaodi, except for Xiaodi's popularity at the end of the year, the revenue created is much lower than that of Yang Mi and Xiaoying.
In terms of TV series, Crystal Entertainment only invested in the production of "Shanshan is Coming" in 2014!
However, "Shanshan is Coming" has brought amazing benefits to the company.
First of all, "Shanshan is Coming" sold a total of 8 rounds of broadcast rights in 2014, of which three were on the stars.
Although the copyright fee in the later rounds was low, the 8 rounds also reached a price of 3.5 million yuan per episode, which brought 119 million yuan of revenue to Crystal Entertainment.
added the online broadcast rights of "Shanshan is Coming" and directly sold it at a sky-high price of 40 million.
"Shanshan is coming" created a turnover of 159 million yuan for the company in 2014!
In addition to taxes and investment costs, the net profit has also reached 100 million yuan!
Finally, in terms of movies, in 2014, Crystal Entertainment participated in the investment and production of a total of 6 films: "Former Raiders", "Breakup Master", "Small Times 3", "No Future", "Strange Her" and "The Year in a Hurry".
The six films have a total of 3.586 billion cumulative box office, which is enough to rank among the top three private film companies!
In 2015, Crystal Entertainment will have four TV series "Why Sheng Xiaomo", "Hua Qiangu", "Langya Bang" and "Descendants of Yanhuang" to be released.
At the same time, it will also invest in the filming of three TV series: "Dear Translator", "Ode to Joy", and "A Smile is Alluring".
There are also online dramas "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" and "Heartless Mage".
As for movies, the ones that will be released in 2015 include "Wolf Warrior", "Small Times 4", "Left Ear", "Why Sheng Xiaomo", "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", "Predecessor 2", "Monster Hunt", "Charlotte Troubles".
and "Get Out, Tumor!" ", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Searching for the Dragon" and "Chinatown Exploration" a total of 11 movies!
Although "Small Times 4", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" and "Chinatown Exploration" are not the main controllers, 2015 is bound to be a year of rapid progress for Crystal Entertainment!
"Are the New Year's goods ready?" Chen Jing looked at Bai Mengyan.
Bai Mengyan nodded and said, "It's all ready, according to your request boss, it will still be distributed at the end of the year." β
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, the remake of "Monster Hunt" is imminent, Chen Jing has no time to attend the company's annual dinner, and can only let Yang Tianzhen sit in charge at that time.
Chen Jing even estimated that the Spring Festival would be spent in the crew, but the time for "Monster Hunt" was too tight.
Suddenly, Chen Jing's mobile phone rang, and it was Lu Zheng calling.
"Hey, Mr. Lu!" Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Hey, brother, I'll have bad news for you." Lu Zhengdao.
"Bad news?" Chen Jing was stunned when she heard this.
Lu Zheng said, "Yes, Chen Sichen's "Exploration of Chinatown" will be launched in June, and he has found a child to act, it seems that he can't cooperate with you." β
When Chen Jing heard this, it was estimated that he was talking about Liu Haoran, but Chen Jing didn't care, and when he first returned to China, he was still very interested in the box office of the "Tang Detective" series.
As for now, many scripts are picked by Chen Jing, so he is not so keen on the "Tang Detective" series.
"Then I can only express regret." Chen Jing said with a smile, "Next time we have the opportunity, we will cooperate again." β
"Okay, brother, next time I have the chance, I will definitely cooperate." Lu Zheng nodded and said, "I insisted that you star, but Chen Sicheng said that he couldn't wait." β
"It's okay, next time." Chen Jing smiled and shook his head.
After ending the call, Chen Jing looked at Bai Mengyan and asked, "Did you give Xiaodi the script for "The Pretender"?" β
At sunset, the sun was preparing to shoot "The Pretender", and Chen Jing asked the company to ask for the role of Yu Manli, the second female lead.
The two sides have cooperated in "Langya Bang" before, and Xiao Di has also participated, so this time for using Xiao Di to play the role of Yu Manli, the sunset morning sunshine did not refuse.
Both parties wanted to maintain a good relationship, so it was an instant hit.
Chen Jing arranged the role of Yu Manli for Xiaodi, also because this second female is more outstanding.
In "The Pretender", I believe that many viewers have a lot of complaints about the female number one, and feel that this role is even better than not appearing.
One may be because the appearance of the female number one is not very popular, and she is not as good as Song Yi and the villain Wang Ou.
The second is that the relationship between the female number one and Hu Ge is relatively abrupt and blunt.
In fact, there were a lot of emotional scenes between the female number one and Hu Ge in the script at the beginning, but an accident occurred during the filming, and the female number one broke her collarbone during filming and had to recuperate.
In order not to delay the filming progress, the crew could only greatly reduce the role of the female number one, and at the same time add crazy scenes to the role of Yu Manli.
At first, Yu Manli's role was not much, but later she directly became the second female!
The character design of this character is more pleasing, and the Republic of China costume is wearing a cheongsam, and now Xiao Di, who has a looming butterfly buttocks, must be very charming when he wears it.
In Chen Jing's arrangement, "Running Man" made Xiaodi's popularity explode, and after taking over Gao Wen and Yu Manli, the two outstanding second women, you can directly play the role of the female number one!
"I've already sent it to Sister Xiaodi." Bai Mengyan nodded.
"Okay, let's go straight away!" Chen Jing said.
Subsequently, Chen Jing and Bai Mengyan took a plane directly and flew to the crew of "Monster Hunt".
Because it's a remake, and the time is tight, there must be no boot ceremony, just shoot directly.
After arriving at the crew, Chen Jing went directly to director Xu Yicheng.
It's just that when passing by the crew, Chen Jing found that the mental state of the crew members didn't seem to be very good, mainly because they lost their heart.
It seems that the previous incident still had a great impact on the crew, and it is estimated that many people in the crew may feel that the reshoot may not be released.
It is estimated that there are many people with this mentality, so it is no wonder that some investors want to withdraw.
"Director Xu, I'm here to report to you!" Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Oh, Boss Chen, nobleman, nobleman!" Xu Yicheng directly gave Chen Jing a hug, and it could be seen that he was really excited.
γ
That's right, I happened to be a director for the first time when I returned to China, if I didn't have Chen Jing's full support, I really don't know what the future of this movie would be.
"Director Xu, that's too polite." Chen Jing said with a smile.
Xu Yicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's really not easy, forget it, don't talk about it, I'll tell you about the current situation of the crew, as well as the requirements for filming." β
Chen Jing nodded and said, "Listen up." β
Because "Monster Hunt" has been filmed before, many scenes have been demolished, the special effects consultant of the American "Industrial Light and Magic" has also left, and the original studio film has also been rented to "The Great Wall", and now all this money has to be spent again.
In order to ensure the quality of the reshoot, Jiang Zhiqiang invited Yao Cheng and Tang Wei to make cameos in the group, and neither of them received any money.
But even so, the production cost of the remake of "Monster Hunt" still exceeded 80 million yuan.
Jiang Zhiqiang is also quite atmospheric, because he is an old friend with Chai Zhiping, the boss of the previous male number one, and this account is not settled with them.
Xu Yicheng looked at Chen Jing's height and body shape, and nodded, "Boss Chen, your height is 184, right?" β
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, "That's right." β
"That's good!" Xu Yicheng said, "The previous male protagonist was 183 tall, and the two of you happened to be about the same." Now that's the case, if it doesn't involve CG lenses, then you can be a little freer.
But if there is a CG picture, then because you want to combine it with CG, you need to make every body movement the same as the original, even down to the height of the arm raised, because CG Huba's movement trajectory has been done according to the original.
Now it's up to you to cooperate with Huba! β
Chen Jing blinked when she heard this, "In other words, when it comes to CG shots, I have to completely imitate the previous movements, and there can be no deviation in the slightest?" β
Then Chen Jing is just a tool man!
"Yes, otherwise, your movements and Huba will not be able to match each other, and the picture will be too fake and uncoordinated." Xu Yicheng said, "And if you redo CG, you won't have time or money." β
Chen Jing could only nod when she heard this, "Okay, then I'll have to take a look at the pictures I took before." β
"It's a must, it's easy and complicated to shoot like this." Xu Yicheng said with a smile, "Simplicity is that you don't need to think too much, just copy the action directly, and it is not easy to copy completely." β
"Okay, I see." Chen Jing nodded.
"It's not too early, you can rest early today, and we will officially start filming tomorrow." Xu Yicheng Road.
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, "Okay, then I'll go back and watch the film now." β
After returning to the hotel, Chen Jing watched the video Xu Yicheng gave him, and asked Bai Mengyan to get something to eat.
After a while, Bai Mengyan came back with a large bag and a small bag, "Boss, you can eat." β
After speaking, Bai Mengyan pinched a kidney and stuffed it into Chen Jing's mouth, and Chen Jing's eyes were still staring at the picture after eating.
"Let's watch it after eating, I don't care about this little time." Bai Mengyan touched Chen Jingdao.
"Hmm!" Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, and then continued to eat and watch at the same time.
Bai Mengyan also looked at Chen Jing's handsome face while eating and said, "When will Sister Mi join the group?" β
Chen Jing thought for a while and said, "I don't know, it should take 2 weeks, after all, she is still filming "Get Out, Tumor!" γγ β
Bai Mengyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he began to feast.
After eating supper, Bai Mengyan cleaned up, and then went directly to the bathroom to take a shower.
After a while, Chen Jing felt a fragrant delicate body in her arms, looked down, and saw Bai Mengyan smile and say with a greasy voice, "Boss!" β
Chen Jing continued to look at the picture, "What are you doing?" β
"Okay!" Bai Mengyan nodded immediately.
Hearing this, Chen Jing smiled and pinched the pretty face in front of her and said, "Fever? β
"Hmm!" Bai Mengyan smiled and pointed his finger on Chen Jing's body, "Looking for you to be a tool man!" β
"I'll finish this later." Chen Jing pressed Bai Mengyan's hand.
Bai Mengyan nodded when he heard this, but his body was not honest and kept writhing.
In the end, Chen Jing, who had no choice, directly lowered her head and held her red lips, and then hugged the beauty.
"Xiaobai, it's time for you to lose weight, you have a small belly!"
"What's the matter, nonsense!"
β¦β¦
The next day, Chen Jing and the radiant Bai Mengyan came to the crew.
At this time, the crew is operating in an orderly manner, but everyone's spirit doesn't seem to be very high.
Chen Jing went directly to makeup and dressing.
When the costume was changed, the assistant director came over to talk to Chen Jing, and took Chen Jing to the position.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Jing sat down and waited for the shooting to begin.
"Boss, make up for it!" Bai Mengyan handed it to Chen Jing to eat.
Chen Jing looked at Bai Meng's pretty face and said, "Are you making it up for me?" Or do you make up for yourself? β
Bai Mengyan smiled when he heard this, "Make up for everything!" β
After waiting for a while, the assistant director announced that filming was ready to start.
Before the start of filming, Xu Yicheng shouted with a megaphone, "Everyone, pay attention, we have to reshoot for some reasons before, but this is not a bad thing."
Remaking means we can do it all over again, so we can work hard and make better work.
This time we also invited Boss Chen, everyone should know about his popularity, I believe that with Boss Chen's joining, our movie will be better, right? β
"Yes!"
The crew still gave face and gave some reactions.
However, the spirit was not high before, and Xu Yicheng had to become a spiritual master.
"Alright, everyone, get ready, we're ready to shoot!" Xu Yicheng Road.
""Monster Hunt" 2 scenes, 1 shot, 1 time, smack!"
"Let's go!" Xu Yicheng shouted.
"Chief, hurry up! Watch your legs! β
Song Tianmeng, played by Chen Jing, is the chief of Yongning Village, and when the villagers had a dispute, he rushed over to deal with it.
"Don't fight anymore, the chief is here."
Song Tianmeng rushed over, put down the bamboo basket he was carrying, looked at the two aunts in front of him and said with a smile, "Aunt Li, Aunt Mo, everyone is from the same village!" β
"Shut up!" Aunt Mo said directly.
Song Tianmeng, who was kind and naΓ―ve by nature, was stunned, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "The chief security officer is responsible......
"Shut up!" Aunt Li also pointed at Song Tianmeng and said loudly.
Song Tianmeng immediately shut up and looked at the two of them with a dissatisfied expression.
Aunt Li and Aunt Mo said directly, "Bao Chang, have the clothes been washed?" Have you washed the latrine? β
Song Tianmeng swallowed his saliva and said, "Not yet!" β
After speaking, Song Tianmeng turned around and was about to run, but was pulled by Aunt Li and Aunt Mo by the shoulders and flew out.
"Cards!" Xu Yicheng said, "The previous ones are good, the one that flies out is done again, it's better to be a little more embarrassed." β
Hearing this, Chen Jing stood up and said, "Okay, do it again!" β
