"This is a story about bandits fighting bullies..."
In the warm-style restaurant, accompanied by the melodious sound of violin, Jiang Wen talked about his new film:
"The original work by Mr. Ma Shitu is called "The Story of a Robbery Official". It is said that in Xikang Province of the Republic of China, there was such a group of bandits who acted chivalrously and took pleasure in vengeance. One day, they ambush a county magistrate who took office...
…”
Lao Jiang manipulated his subwoofer voice and told the story vividly.
Zhou Yun resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Of course she knew what he wanted to shoot, but she couldn't tell the investors. They would definitely lose money if they heard that you were doing this cloud-covered thing again!
So he lied, saying: "This is a commercial film, and I'm going to invite a superstar to star in it. The biggest superstar, and the supporting roles will also be popular niche actors. Whoever is handsome will be cast. There will be shootouts, action, and horse fights!"
Oh my, this horse fight is incredible..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Yu Jiajia interrupted his deception and asked directly: "Do you have a budget?"
"We haven't set up a group yet, where will we get the budget? This is not the way to ask you to invest."
Jiang Wen was reserved for a second and then immediately said: "It must be 70 to 80 million anyway!"
He thought for a while and wrote down several names.
"Let the Bullets Fly" cost 130 million. It was released in December 2010 and grossed 664 million at the box office. It was jaw-dropping, but it ranked second that year because the first was "Avatar."
Jiang Wen received a call from Yi Qiangnan, saying that the matter was settled and he was very happy.
"No wonder 99 Company has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. It is indeed different, different!"
…
In his previous life, his favorite movie before the age of 30 was "Westward Journey", and his favorite movie after the age of 30 was Yi Qiang's new drama "Let the Bullets Fly"!
"Ding dong ding dong!"
As for this guest's "One Step Away", everyone can't understand it again. Yao Yuan seems to have relapsed into old business, and has become clouded again.
So he wrote "Zombie", "Cold War", "Anti-Drug" and other films. Hong Kong films have declined, but in fact they still have many fans. Just look at the current online articles and you will know that there are a lot of Hong Kong variety shows...
"You and money are both important to me, and I am very important without you!"
In fact, those are all easy to get, as long as you have the original version, you can just be a copywriter. What is difficult is the overseas works, which need to be studied one by one, and I don’t have time to think about it in detail right now.
"OK!"
Wang Si was scolded because he understood.
"I'll give you 100 million. Spend it first. If you don't have enough, come back to me."
I came today with the mentality of playing a protracted game, but unexpectedly I got it done in 20 minutes.
Yi Qiang watched the press conference with Yu Jiajia today. There were 3 TV series and 5 movies, but the number was still too small.
"Don't make fun of me. I will go to Beijing tomorrow and bring you something."
"..."
But for him personally, in the film and television environment of later generations where "the supreme poop is in the poop, and the nine-turn large intestine is in the intestines", Lao Jiang's works are really valuable.
He plans to go public in 2011.
"Keep it secret!"
"This matter needs to be kept secret. It's a good thing anyway. I'll hang up first."
"That's good. I have to leave beforehand. Someone will meet you."
"When the county magistrate takes office, he has to create a clever name, win over the gentry, pay taxes and donations, and then they pay, so that the people can follow suit. After receiving the money, the gentry's money will be returned in full, and the people's money will be divided into 30 and 70!"
laugh!
It's like reading an article on the Internet. He thinks it's a fairy grass, but you think it's a poisonous weed. It's normal.
But later on, as I got older, experienced more things, and understood the film better, I realized what kind of story "Let the Bullets Fly" tells.
"I understand, I definitely understand."
This year, the United States has a new president, Okukankai, and has just approved an economic stimulus plan totaling US$838 billion. Soon, Japan will also announce an economic stimulus totaling 56.8 trillion yen.
"..."
Back then, when the audience was at a loss, Wang Sipei scolded him: "Rich people these days can't even like a movie. If the movie is made like xx, do you still let people say it?"
The impact of the financial crisis is still continuing.
Yu Jiajia picked up the bucket and left.
Zhou Jun was also excited.
"Let's talk about it later!"
Cheng Wei looked at his boss, thought twice, and reported: "Mr. Yao, Penguin has launched a game called "Sunshine Manor", do you want to take a look?"
"But……"
I understand everything.
"Huh? How come you, an honest man, have learned how to cheat on women?"
After the failure of "The Sun Also Rises", I was happy for a long time, looking for mistakes in investment. When people heard about Yao Yuan, their first reaction was: Damn it, your show is either banned, or you can't understand it, you can't
I will make some movies that normal people can watch!
Fine!
Lao Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
He guessed a possibility and immediately became excited. He couldn't even sit still and walked back and forth in the office, like a crazy grasshopper.
Cheng Wei shut up decisively and seemed not to take it seriously.
In the future, if we want to support two video platforms, we will have to upgrade our products independently and buy copyrights. Don’t worry about that, as long as you have money. As for the development of video platforms, one depends on the base and the other depends on quality.
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang and I saw it was Bai Yongxiang.
The wonderful environment will not begin until 2010. At this time, investment institutions have money again, Internet products are also alive, and Jiang Wen is ready to go public.
Jiang Wen threw away his pen and casually decided on the development plan of 99 Entertainment for the next ten years.
"Mr. Bai, what are your instructions?"
Hiss!
Even Old Jiang squirted and said, "Seriously?"
(besides……)
the other side.
Especially at the end, the horse-drawn train turned right with the left light on and headed towards Pudong. Zhang Mazi followed on a white horse, lonely and hesitant...
Hong Huang watched the excitement and was not afraid of trouble, and said hurriedly: "That's so funny. Isn't the prototype of Wu Yi the same as you?"
"No time, let's talk about it later!"
In fact, "The Sun Also Rises" and "Let the Bullets Fly" tell the same story. The former used more popular techniques to achieve commercial success.
The two of them were alone in the restaurant. Lao Jiang couldn't believe it and said to himself: "This, this is it?"
99 Group has four major industries: social networking (including games), e-commerce, entertainment, and mobile phones. What it does is no different from later generations of Alibaba and Tencent. They are both business empires, except for the addition of a mobile phone business.
Then there were Hollywood films such as "The Conjuring" universe and "Get Out".
"what?"
When it was released in 2010, he went to the cinema to watch it. At that time, he just felt very happy and his male hormones were overflowing.
In recent years, more and more people have understood "One Step Away". Of course, more and more people think that it is a bad movie. There is nothing wrong with it, because watching movies is a very subjective matter.
Jiang Wen also thought so later on, but Qian Kuaikui changed his mind again, because if the film "One Step Away" was explained clearly, it would not be released at all.
Including "囧", "The Secret of the Dragon", "Journey to the West", "Charlotte" and so on. While developing the mainland market, we must also take care of the Hong Kong market. Hong Kong is currently the base for overseas expansion.
"It's done! Mr. Yu keeps his word, 100 million!"
"Don't talk to me about commercial films or literary films. Everyone knows it by heart. My only request is that everyone can understand it this time."
There was great excitement in Bai Yongxiang's voice, mixed with a hint of apprehension, which was quite strange. Jiang Wen touched his chin and slammed the table, couldn't it be done?!
