Chapter 378: You Beg Me
"Which two projects are you optimistic about?" Chen Jing asked as she continued to flip through the pages.
Tian Xiaopeng heard this, "After everyone discussed together, we finally chose "The Origin of the White Snake" and "Nezha". ”
Chen Jing raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Nezha" needless to say, the future box office champion of animated films!
And although "The Origin of the White Snake" is not so amazing at the box office, it is definitely an excellent domestic animated film, and later a second sequel was released.
In fact, these projects are all good, they are all domestic animated films that can be handled, but some may not be affirmed by the film market for various reasons.
And Chen Jing has heard of these projects, and it is obvious that October animation has indeed been carefully selected.
"The reason is actually very simple, whether it is "The Origin of the White Snake" or "Nezha", they are well-known stories, and even if they are well-known IPs, this is more beneficial to the box office of the movie.
Compared with the original animation, "White Snake" and "Nezha" are undoubtedly much less risky, after all, although "The Return of the Great Sage" was successful, it was only the first case.
If domestic animated films want to really rise, the first thing they need is continuous success, so as to stimulate capital and major companies to invest, and also bring confidence and hope to the entire industry. Tian Xiaopeng explained.
Chen Jing nodded when he heard this, it is true, if a market wants to develop, it must be profitable for capital.
After all, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, otherwise even if there are occasional special cases like "The Return of the Great Sage", it will not be able to make more capital investment.
In this way, it will not be able to completely drive the progress and prosperity of the entire domestic animated film industry.
"Then set "The Origin of the White Snake" and "Nezha". Chen Jing said, "However, the script of "Nezha" still needs to be polished again. ”
"Indeed, we agree with this opinion, and we have already asked the wrangler to go back and change the script." Tian Xiaopeng said.
Chen Jing nodded and said, "The script must be polished well, after all, it is the foundation of a drama, and I have an opinion, you are preparing to make a Journey to the West series, right?" ”
"Yes!" Tian Xiaopeng nodded.
"Actually, Nezha's "Fengshen Bang" and your "Journey to the West" can be completely interacted with, and there are many identical gods involved in the two mythological works themselves, which are inextricably linked.
If this connection between the two can be shown, or even amplified, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the box office of "Nezha", and at the same time, the two series can also be built into a big universe in the future.
Just like the Marvel Universe, just relying on some associations can make a movie get a lot of attention and box office, even if the quality of the movie itself is not good, it can still be a big hit.
This can undoubtedly greatly increase the box office of the two series, and also reduce the risk of failure. Chen Jing said.
Tian Xiaopeng nodded when he heard this, "This idea is great, and the audience will definitely like it." ”
This is definitely true, now that Marvel is rampant all over the world, everyone loves to watch it and envy it, if domestic movies can also create such a big universe, then the audience will definitely like it.
Even if the movie is not very good, it can attract these audiences to the cinema.
"So when the script of "Nezha" is changed, it is best to be able to appear one or two characters in "Journey to the West" to string the two movies together." Chen Jing said.
"Okay, I'll talk to the winch later." Tian Xiaopeng nodded.
Chen Jing smiled, "By the way, why isn't your second movie on this list?" ”
Tian Xiaopeng scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this, "Don't hide it from Mr. Chen, in fact, I don't want to make "Journey to the West 2" next, but want to make another animated movie." ”
Chen Jing was not surprised when he heard this, because he had long known that this would be the result, "Then shoot it, anyway, "The Return of the Great Sage" has made a lot of money, which is enough for you to try new things." ”
Tian Xiaopeng was a little moved when he heard this, Chen Jing did not force him to make "Journey to the West 2" to make money, which shows Chen Jing's respect for him.
"However, there is also the problem that the budget may not be enough." Tian Xiaopeng said embarrassedly.
"How?" Chen Jing asked with a smile.
Tian Xiaopeng said, "The current budget, the investment in "The Origin of the White Snake" is as high as 80 million, and "Nezha" is at least 60 million, which has exceeded the standard line of 100 million.
With the extra 40 million, October Animation can invest 20 million, and there is still an investment difference of 20 million. ”
Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "I set up only 2 projects at the time, and I didn't say that they must all be 50 million, and "The Return of the Great Sage" made a lot of money, so it should be used for investment."
By the way, how much do you need to invest in your new title? ”
Tian Xiaopeng said, "My new work is still in the making, and it is difficult to estimate it for the time being." ”
"That's okay, "The Origin of the White Snake" plus "Nezha", in addition to the 20 million invested by October Animation, a total of 120 million is needed, in addition to the 100 million I promised before, I will invest another 20 million.
Forget it, what budget does the production of "Big Fish and Begonia" need? ”
Tian Xiaopeng was stunned when he heard this, but still replied, "The production cost of "Big Fish and Begonia" is lower, about 30 million. ”
"Then add "Big Fish and Begonia" to the production list, so that I can invest 150 million yuan." Chen Jing said.
"Mr. Chen, you are really generous!" Tian Xiaopeng said with a smile.
"I'm full of confidence in you, and in your October animation." Chen Jing smiled, "Look after you!" ”
Tian Xiaopeng nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will not let you down." ”
Chen Jing smiled, "Don't have too much pressure, just do your best." ”
"Long live understanding!" Tian Xiaopeng said with a smile.
After spending 150 million yuan, Chen Jing left October Animation.
"Finished talking?" Yang Mi looked at Chen Jing and asked.
"Well, just this one, I spent 150 million!" Chen Jing said.
"150 million?" Yang Mi was stunned when she heard this, "What kind of animated film investment is so high?" It's a record-breaker! ”
Chen Jing smiled, "It's an investment in three animated films. ”
Yang Mi nodded when she heard this, and then didn't say anything, after all, the success of "The Return of the Great Sage" was just around the corner, and she had always believed in Chen Jing's vision.
Afterwards, the two rushed directly to the airport and flew to the magic capital.
The wedding of the Sect Leader and Tempo was held at the exhibition center in the Magic City, and the stars attending the wedding were temporarily arranged at the Portman Ritz-Carlton Hotel next door.
A red carpet was laid out in front of the hotel, surrounded by media reporters and fans who had heard the news.
The whole red carpet is indeed like a film festival, attended not only by celebrities in the circle, but also by a group of elders in the circle.
Not to mention the guests, just say that the best man group has Jing Bairan, Li Yundi, Ren Quan, Zhang Shuai and Wang Slenion, in addition to the brother group Huang Bo, Tong Dawei, Wu Jing, Xiao Shenyang, all of whom have been married.
The bridesmaids also include Li Lianhua, Nini, He Chaoying, the daughter of the gambling king, and Tianbao's two best friends.
When Chen Jing and Yang Mi arrived, it was already the end of the red carpet, but as soon as the two appeared, they caused the frenzy of media reporters and the screams of fans.
The two were newly married, and there were scandals about Jingying CP all over the sky before, so the media paid special attention to the two.
However, Chen Jing and Yang Mi just cooperated and took a few photos and left directly, without responding to questions from the media.
After entering the hotel, Yang Mi and Chen Jing went to find Tianbao.
Yang Mi promised to be Tianbao's bridesmaid before, but she didn't think that she would marry Chen Jing first.
"Tempo!" Yang Mi saw Tianbao in a wedding dress and opened her arms with a smile.
"Mimi!" Tianbao saw that Yang Mi was also excited to hug her best friend, but she didn't dare to push too hard, after all, her best friend was pregnant.
Chen Jing followed, looked at Tianbao in a wedding dress, and said with a slight smile in her eyes, "It's so beautiful today, congratulations!" ”
"Then you say, who is beautiful between me and Mimi!" Tianbao stared at Chen Jing with beautiful eyes and asked with a smile.
Chen Jing smiled helplessly after hearing this, the two always like to play this life-giving game, looking at the two pretty faces in front of them, Chen Jing's heart moved slightly, but he said with a smile on his face, "Well, you are beautiful today!" ”
"What do you mean?" Tianbao pretended to be unhappy when he heard this, "I'm just pretty today, am I?" ”
"Alright, don't tease him!" Yang Mi smiled and said, and then pulled Tianbao to chatter.
Tianbao also glanced at Chen Jing coquettishly, and then chatted with Yang Mire, ignoring Chen Jing.
Seeing this, Chen Jing wanted to walk away.
"Boss Chen, long time no see!" Nini walked over at this time and smiled.
Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "Long time no see." ”
Nini is Tempo's bridesmaid today!
Nini looked at Chen Jing and smiled, "Are you free, will you have a supper tonight?" ”
"Ahem...... Chen Jing coughed twice when she heard this, "Keep in shape with this, forget it!" ”
"Haha......" Nini couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Chen Jing's departing figure.
After Chen Jing left the women's nest, he came to the sect leader's side.
"Congratulations!" Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you!" The sect leader said politely.
"Brother Jing!" Chen Jing shouted when he saw Wu Jing.
Wu Jing smiled and patted Chen Jing's shoulder, "When did you arrive?" ”
"Just here!" Chen Jing smiled, "Brother Bo, Brother Yang, Si Onion." ”
Huang Bo, Xiao Shenyang, and Wang Sinion also responded with a smile.
Subsequently, Chen Sicheng, Chen He, Lin Gengxin, Yu Dong, Zheng Kai, Wang Zulan, Wang Xueqi, Zheng Peipei, Liu Tao, Zhang Liangying, Dou Xiao, Wang Baobao, He Jiong, Xie Na, Wang Zhongjun, Sun Yang, Zhang Baibai, Yu Zheng and other people who knew each other greeted each other.
Speaking of half of the entertainment industry, even if it is a bit exaggerated, it is not too outrageous.
After saying hello, Chen Jing found Huang Bo.
Speaking of which, the two are also competitors, they were both three billion emperors before, but now Chen Jing is about to reach 10 billion, the gap between the two is like a chasm, and Chen Jing is far ahead.
"Brother Bo!" Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Hey, Boss Chen!" Huang Bo nodded with a smile and said, "It's a pity that I didn't let you be the best man if I'm so handsome." ”
Chen Jing said with a smile, "It's because he's so handsome, being the best man will steal the limelight from the groom, so he can't be it!" ”
"That's right,......," Huang Bo said with a smile.
"Brother Bo, "Looking for the Dragon" is about to be released, right?" Chen Jing asked.
Huang Bo blinked when he heard this, and then said, "Yes, this year's Chinese New Year stalls." ”
Chen Jing smiled, "I wonder if Brother Bo is interested in continuing to make a sequel to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"? ”
"A sequel to 'Ghost Blowing the Lamp'?" Huang Bo was stunned when he heard this.
Then I remembered that I heard that Crystal Entertainment bought the film and television rights of the last four parts of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" from Wanda, and bought the first four copyrights from Dreamer Pictures, which can be regarded as collecting all the copyrights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
Now it seems that he really wants to develop this tomb robbery series.
"My company is ready to vigorously develop a series of tomb robbery movies, not only "Ghost Blows the Lamp", but also "Tomb Robbery Notes", the two most popular tomb robbery copyrights, are in my hands.
We will expect to invest more than 2 billion yuan in all-round development, movies, TV series, games, peripherals and other omni-channel development, and the most influential of this is undoubtedly the movie.
And Brother Bo, you and Brother Kun have already starred in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", I believe that with your strength, it will definitely be a box office hit, and it just so happens that we will launch the second part later.
My idea is to continue the original cast, so that everyone will feel more authentic, and we will do our best to make "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" into a Chinese version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
Let the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series become the most successful, highest-grossing and most influential series of movies in China, and even comparable to those successful series of Meilaiwu.
However, this is inseparable from the joining of Brother Bo and Brother Kun, and your strength and box office appeal are an indispensable part of our goal to achieve this goal. ”
"Hey, Boss Chen praised it falsely." Huang Bo smiled when he heard this, "Boss Chen, you are rewarding me with food, I will definitely continue, not only will I have to continue, but I also have to thank you, and I will give you two more glasses later." ”
Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "Brother Bo is happy, let's have two more drinks later." ”
After reaching the intention of cooperation, Chen Jing was in a good mood, and then chatted with Chen He, Zheng Kai, and Lin Genxin who came over.
When the wedding officially began, Chen Jing and Yang Mi sat down, and there were many acquaintances at the table, Wu Jing, Chen He, Zheng Kai, and Xiao Shenyang.
A total of 72 tables have been prepared for today's wedding banquet, which is not small.
Then the wedding officially began, and there were many activities.
"How much does this wedding cost?" Wu Jing couldn't help but ask.
"I heard that there are 200 million!" Yang Mi replied.
Everyone was speechless when they heard this, which was too embarrassing.
But then everyone looked at Chen Jing again, this marriage directly bought an island, and it cost 300 million for just one island!
Chen Jing smiled when she saw everyone looking at her, but Yang Mi bumped Chen Jing with her shoulder, and smiled proudly.
But then Sect Leader Huang explained that he was only responsible for the salary, and the rest were all helped by friends and sponsored by merchants, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.
"Where are you going to go for your honeymoon after the big wedding?"
Sect Leader Huang said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to rest at home and play games with her." ”
Tianbao said, "We will start work tomorrow, I have spent so much money, I have to earn it back quickly!" ”
"Hahaha......"
"Why didn't Yaya come?" Yang Mi approached Chen Jing and asked.
Chen Jing glanced at Chen Sicheng, who was chatting happily with Ma Su at the table next to him, and said, "Yaya is still filming in the crew, but it's ......."
"But what?" Yang Mi said curiously.
Chen Jing said in a low voice, "Yaya and the two may have some contradictions, you, as a best friend, had better ask." ”
"How do you know?" Yang Mi asked, and then remembered that the two were filming together, so she nodded.
Then the feast began, and the crowd set out.
Wu Jing came up to make a pot, and then Chen He and Zheng Kai also pulled Chen Jing to toast, as well as Huang Bo and Lin Genxin who came from the side table.
Chen Jing was fine at first, but later Nini, Zhang Liangying, Li Lianhua, Yu Dong, Xiang Huaqiang and other actresses and elders all came over, Chen Jing could only drink, and then she got drunk.
When Chen Jing woke up, she couldn't help pinching her eyebrows, she had a headache and a dry mouth.
"Awake? Drink some honey water to relieve hangover. ”
Chen Jing frowned and half sat up, took the water cup and drank it directly, "What time is it?" ”
"It's only 5 o'clock."
Chen Jing looked at it when she heard this, "Tianbao? Why are you here? ”
Tianbao smiled, "I heard that you are drunk, I will come over to take a look." ”
"Where's Sister Honey?" Chen Jing asked, "And don't you have to be busy?" ”
"I've just finished my busy day, so I'll take the time to see you." Tianbao smiled, "Mimi was pulled by Li Lianhua, and she didn't know what she was talking about. ”
After speaking, Tianbao leaned over and stared at Chen Jing's handsome face, "How do you feel?" Is it uncomfortable? ”
Chen Jing looked at the pretty face in front of him and nodded, "A little." ”
Tianbao sat down with a smile when he heard this, "You deserve to be uncomfortable, who let you drink so much." ”
After hearing this, Chen Jing joked, "Isn't it uncomfortable to see you get married!" ”
Tianbao looked at Chen Jing coquettishly when he heard this, bit his red lips lightly and said, "Don't flirt with it, okay, I'm a married woman now, and you are a married man." ”
"Together, it's a couple!" Chen Jing said with a smile.
After hearing this, Tianbao stretched out his hand and pinched Chen Jing, "Come on, you are responsible for the accident!" ”
"Then on the day I get married, you won't pay it back...... Hmm......" Chen Jing was covered by Tianbao before he finished speaking.
"I drank too much!" Tianbao said stiffly, "Ah......"
Tianbao suddenly withdrew his jade hand, his pretty face was slightly red, and he looked at Chen Jing with disgust.
Chen Jing also looked at Tianbao with a smile, his eyes facing each other, and layers of ripples rippled in his heart.
"Ahem......" Tianbao coughed, breaking the peace, "I'll talk to you about something!" ”
"What?" Chen Jing asked.
"I heard that your company is going to make a movie version of "A Smile is Alluring"?" Tianbao cut his hair and looked at Chen Jing's handsome face with a smile.
Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, and said with her head on her hands and said, "Your news has always been very well-informed!" ”
"How about letting me play the female lead?" Tianbao touched Chen Jing's arm and said.
Chen Jing smiled, "You beg me!" ”
Tianbao rolled his eyes at Chen Jing after hearing this, then pulled up Chen Jing's right arm and shook it, and said coquettishly, "Boss Chen, promise others, okay?" ”
Chen Jing looked leisurely and complacent, and did not let go.
Seeing this, Tianbao couldn't help but itch his teeth, and directly stretched out his hands to pinch Chen Jing's neck, shaking it gently, "Do you agree?" ”
Chen Jing looked at the pretty face that was close to Chi Qi, smelling the tempting fragrance, and Chen Jing, who had not fully woken up, directly turned over and suppressed Tianbao.
In an instant, the two looked at each other, and their snorts could be heard.
After staring at each other for a long time, Chen Jing couldn't help but bow his head.
"Tempo! Boss Chen! ”
When the two heard Yang Mi's scream, they were frightened, Chen Jing immediately turned over and lay down, and Tianbao quickly got up and stood up.
At this time, Yang Mi happened to come in, looking at the expressions of the two, her brows furrowed slightly, "What are you two doing?" ”
