Although Wang Wei shouted that he would only slap the person who digs the foot of the wall, Shen Zhenyi's agent couldn't be so simple.

After Shen Zhenyi made a decision, she still dutifully confirmed, "I really refuse, this is 20 million, and it's too late to regret it after refusing......"

After being mixed in the circle for so many years, Ms. Agent naturally knows how popular a new film by a cutting-edge director whose last movie has just won a box office of more than one billion will be.

In particular, what Luo Jianzhou sent her now is an invitation from the heroine.

As long as she hesitates for a few more days, other actresses of similar status will immediately receive the news and join the snatch, let alone refuse.

At that time, it's really useless to regret it.

Shen Zhenyi laughed, "If it's just a movie, it's nothing-even if you can't bring capital into the game, the basic salary of 20 million can't be said to be insincere; But, Sister Yu, you know, his mind is not simple......"

The agent smiled and shook his head, "This is called obsession, girl!" ”

Shen Zhenyi only looked like "thank you but not sensitive".

In fact, they all know that if you want to say how "deeply" Luo Jianzhou loves Shen Zhenyi, it may not be.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to soak in Yang Qianyi, an alumnus of Shen Zhenyi.

- Speaking of which, this news was first revealed by the agent and Shen Zhenyi.

- Although she suspects that it is actually Yang Qianyi's own revelation behind it.

"Your classmate is also a smart person, but I'm afraid that it won't be a day or two since I've been eyeing the heroine of Luo Jianzhou's new film."

The agent lady analyzed like this, but there was a faint appreciation in her tone.

In this circle, everyone has their own way of survival - Shen Zhenyi is a talented type and a European emperor type, and her path to success is basically irreproducible.

On the contrary, Yang Qianyi's "selling herself at a good price" is the most common way to survive.

The reason why she is smart is because she aimed at a young director like Luo Jianzhou who has a background and is not bad, which is much better than those peers who have to rely on the "old man" after they hit their heads;

Facts have proved that her efforts have also been fruitful - the first role was Luo Jianzhou's blockbuster heroine, and since then, she has played an important role in Tang Yu Media's two blockbusters, and has risen all the way; Now, after Shen Zhenyi refused, the heroine of Luo Jianzhou's new film has a great chance to fall into her hands.

If there is no Shen Zhenyi to compare, Ms. Agent thinks that among the younger generation of actresses, Yang Qianyi has the most potential.

Shen Zhenyi understood what her agent meant, and echoed her words, "That's why I don't want to be entangled more, with this kung fu, isn't it fragrant to invest in two more movies?" ”

"Okay, then I'll officially refuse his film offer."

The agent sighed.

Although, if you can make more money, what are you afraid of?

If it is another agent, seeing the basic salary of 20 million, I will have to persuade a few more words.

However, the agent lady has only the right to suggest and no decision on Shen Zhenyi's selection of films.

- Well, even if she has the right to speak, in the face of Shen Zhenyi today, even if she is making money, she can't force the other party's head to make money.

After all, although the agent side seems to be powerful, it is still inherently inseparable from the stars and the film company, which makes them important and unimportant

The important thing is that as long as the celebrities themselves are not too stupid, they can solve a lot of problems for the stars and help the stars increase their income;

What doesn't matter is that as long as the star himself is capable, if an agent is not good, he can change another one.

——In order to keep Shen Zhenyi, a high-quality customer, the agent not only minimizes her commission ratio, but also tries to make the other party feel happy at work.

Of course, this does not mean that she has earned less money from Shen Zhenyi.

In fact, while Shen Zhenyi is not like her other clients, who are eager to take on three or four movies a year, she guarantees her agent millions of dollars every year — which is already one of the best among her clients.

Without him, the agent has done far more than the work of a film agent for Shen Zhenyi, so she is now not only getting a basic salary commission and a dividend commission, but even Shen Zhenyi's income from investing in movies will also have a certain commission.

What's more, do you really think that Shen Zhenyi will bring money into the group, and there will be no more benefits for the agent?

The increased voice that comes with being one of the investors alone has the potential to benefit her other clients, for whom the broker's percentage is quite high.

Therefore, the broker did not object to Shen Zhenyi's position that "easy money is not earned, but only hard money is made".

"However, having said that, investing in movies is really hard money for this little girl to make money - although in the Chinese entertainment industry, it is common sense not to use your own money to make movies."

The agent suddenly thought silently.

Because of the uncertainty of the film industry, not only ordinary directors and producers, but even the five major studios also abide by this criterion.

The difference is only that in the hands of the Big Five, there are many projects with a high success rate and can be said to be bound to make money - such as sequels to some popular movies.

For these projects, they will shrewdly invest their own company's money to ensure maximum profits.

For those film projects with unknown prospects and relatively high risks, they will widely absorb various investments from the society, including the investment of many celebrity-owned leather bag production companies, in order to share the risks evenly.

I also want to know that for such a project, it is possible to lose nine out of ten shots.

The strange place is here - whether it is her or the old fritters in the Dunhuang industry, it seems that it is not strange for Shen Zhenyi to use her own money to make movies.

"Probably because she can ask Wang Wei at any time to help her judge which film project has investment value;"

"If not, you can still ask Wang Wei for a project, or even direct it by him himself?!"

Thinking about it this way, the agent lady felt that she had realized.

For example, "Resident Evil", which is about to be released in the National Day file, in which Shen Zhenyi participated for the first time as a producer and has investment, has been certified by Wang Wei's "vision".

If this movie goes smoothly, then the status of this little girl ......

The agent's thoughts couldn't help but diverge a little-

After reaching a certain height, in terms of the status of the Chinese entertainment industry, money is no longer the first element, many out-of-fashion movie stars are very rich, but you can't say that their status in the industry is higher than that of some producers who are not well-known;

Whether Shen Zhenyi, as a producer, can still dig for treasures, how much profit she can realize from a project, and even to some extent, how many awards she wins can determine the status of the industry more than how many awards she wins;

And the success of her production career is also very helpful for her to talk to the crew about bringing capital into the game in the future - many things are like this, there is no precedent, and most people are not willing to be the first to make an exception; And once the game is broken, many people's tone will be easy to loosen.

"However, it is not easy to open up the situation! The opponent of "Resident Evil" in the same schedule is menacing! ”

The agent appeared to be a little worried.

……

The agent's concerns are not unfounded.

As Dunhuang's main work in the National Day file, "Resident Evil" is of course also facing five homogeneous opponents.

But this time the situation is different from before-

"The Legend of the Ranger", which was filmed by China Media, held an early film critics' viewing meeting;

The movie review has also been released, although there are no spoilers, but it is a one-sided praise!

Even the adaptation of a video game, which was previously hailed by many as an act of death, has now been praised by film critics-

"This movie will be a milestone for the game adaptation;"

"Finally there's a movie adaptation of the game that can appeal to a mainstream audience outside of game nerds;"

"The advent of this movie proves that the film and television industry can finally connect with the brain circuits of the game industry;"

…… Comments that can almost be described as "licking" made Gu Jinguang, who led the development of the "Resident Evil" game, wonder if the critics had made a fortune!

On the contrary, director He Wenying has a better understanding of the operating rules of the Chinese entertainment industry, and told Gu Jinguangdao,

"This means that the internal viewing of "The Legend of the Ranger" will definitely have a good response, which is why so many reviews will be unlocked in advance......"

Because if the reviews of film critics are generally not good, then the common practice of distributors is to try to block the reviews first, or even insist on it until a day or two after the release.

In this way, you can first deceive a wave of audiences and the box office through pre-publicity, and then see if it is possible that the critics are wrong.

After all, this kind of thing has happened more than once, the most recent is Wang Wei's "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" - if you only look at the word of mouth from film critics, this movie should have hit the street a long time ago.

In the past, if someone told a film critic that a movie based on a game could conquer them, I was afraid that they would laugh off their big teeth;

Usually, when they start talking about "game adaptations", they always start with a long history of bad movies.

- For this reason, "Resident Evil" never thought of holding an early film critics' viewing meeting.

Even if the two of them have already seen the final film, they have a certain degree of confidence.

As a result, good guys, the other party even came out with the statement of "Milestone of the Tour Reform Movie".

"I didn't want to go for any milestones, but the overwhelming praise really made me wonder how well this film was made.

Gu Jinguang scratched his head and said.

"This is also what worries me the most, you know, game adaptations have always been useless in the eyes of film critics, and if you can make a 180-degree turn in the attitude of film critics, this movie may not be easy to deal with."

He Wenying's brows furrowed suddenly.

Although the movie and game of "Resident Evil" are developed simultaneously and are not strictly speaking, they are not game adaptations, but the rumors that have been actively or passively revealed from the crew have made people who pay attention to this movie realize that this is a movie with "game elements";

The so-called most afraid of comparing goods in everything - competition with the same type of theme, even if your quality is not bad, but if the opponent is superb, your "quality is not bad" will also become "inferior".

This year's May Day schedule is a good example.

It's just that that time it was Dunhuang "super god"; This time, it seems to be the other way around.

"It's all said that it has to be returned, so it seems that the "Resident Evil" movie is not good. After all, the opponent still has a huge fan base, and it has an advantage in publicity......"

Gu Jinguang sighed,

"Then our movie will win two or three hundred million box office casually, and the production cost will be recovered, and the money will depend on the games we develop."

He Wenying on the side was really speechless.

- Do you think that a box office of two or three hundred million is so easy to achieve!?

- Who gave you the courage!?

However, thinking about the movies that Dunhuang has invested in the past few years, she has to admit that for Dunhuang, if a movie does not win more than 300 million at the box office, it can really be called a "fiasco......

It's just that if the movie and game linkage is good, if the whole movie drags its feet, what is it called!

Worried in her heart, He Wenying replied unceremoniously, "Yes, don't end up with a whole game income that is not as good as a movie, I see how you end it?" ”

Speaking of the game itself, Gu Jinguang's eyes suddenly became solemn.

"Our Resident Evil game, in terms of graphics, gameplay and operation, surpasses the online games of the same period, and can realize the interoperability of the console platform and the PC platform......"

Koo used a whole bunch of jargon to explain the power of the game's version of Resident Evil to show confidence in their work.

He Wenying pursed her lips, but she couldn't refute him.

It's not that she doesn't understand games — well, she really doesn't know too much;

But thanks to the tacit understanding of "knowing a little bit of understanding" in the previous film and game linkage process, she at least knows what the other party has done and how well it has done.

If you follow this guy's simplest and crude explanation -

Even the creators themselves love to play this game, can it be a good game?

Well, even though she didn't have time to play the game, there were quite a few people in the movie crew who ended up addicted to the game, which also made it impossible for her to scold him with a clear conscience.

"It would be nice if the development progress of your game was faster, and the sooner it was launched, so that we could accumulate some fans."

In the end, He Wenying could only sigh regretfully.

In fact, the progress of the movie version of "Resident Evil" is faster than the development of the game, and it is only in order to make the linkage between the two closer that it will be released on the National Day.

"Don't you see that our programmers are bald in order to keep up with the schedule?"

Like all the programmers of Party A who are facing the progress rush, Gu Jinguang's face suddenly turned dark.

"And...... Isn't the game on sale now? ”

"Oh? Is this early listing? He Wenying, who was busy and dizzy, really didn't notice it.

"Like you said, go public early, so you can accumulate some fans......"

He Wenying nodded, and shook her head again, "Alas, it's still late, but it's better than nothing." ”

Gu Jinguang smiled, "This is not necessarily, guess how much the game is sold now?" ”

……

New Year's auspicious ~~~
