In meetings with management, we talk more about practical matters and the overall strategy of the company in the future.
As for the company's plan and arrangements, people in the company have generally made arrangements.
Jiang Yan only needs to ask for some details.
Among the projects to be completed by Xingchenhai in 2000.
The first major project at the beginning of the year is "Infernal Affairs 2/3" in Hong Kong.
Filming starts on February 25, and Jiang Yan, as Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs 2", has to play the role himself.
Because of the special birthplace of this project at the beginning, and the high quality of the first part, the sequel has become a project in Hong Kong and even Guanzhou in Asia. One of the interesting points is that Jiang Yan is very interested in this project.
The amount of investment only guarantees the interests of some people, and the rest is released as a win-win function, so whether you can participate in this project even becomes a reflection of the company's strength.
So to a certain extent, "Infernal Affairs 2" costing about 30 million yuan and "Infernal Affairs 3" costing about 50 million yuan, with a total investment of 80 million yuan, can actually raise 100 million yuan of funds. This is extra
Yes, everyone understands it. It has become an "overflow" price. To put it simply, it is sponsorship.
In addition, if Jiang Yan had not strictly controlled the advertising, there would have been dozens of advertisements inserted throughout the film.
Having said that, the preparations for "Infernal Affairs 2/3" did not put a lot of pressure on Xingchenhai, but rather the pressure on the best partner film company.
Therefore, Xingchenhai has enough time to prepare for "Xun Qin Ji" after "Infernal Affairs".
"At what stage are the preparations currently underway?" Jiang Yan asked.
"The purpose selection has been completed. The costumes and props can be completed within half a month. The construction will be later, about a month..." Wu Yong quickly gave a detailed answer.
"Okay, as long as we can catch up with the time." Jiang Yan nodded.
The original "Looking for Qin" is a rare big scene in the history of TVB. It was shot in many film and television cities such as Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Hengdian, but most of it was filmed in Xiangjiang.
You can see the obvious setting in many scenes. Before the unification of the world, there was actually a sea in the Qin Dynasty. Even Xiang Shaolong's clothes later were the same as those of Jinlun Dharma King.
Uncle Shao Liu has indeed reached the realm.
However, now that Jiang Yan is participating in "Looking for Qin", the plot does not need to change, but at least the details still need to be optimized.
For example, the filming location, hairstyle and clothing, etc., must be at least closer to the Warring States period than the original version.
So it is necessary to take more time to prepare.
But you can't take your time, because Jiang Yan doesn't have much time.
His schedule for "Infernal Affairs" is 20 days, and then he will join the cast of "Qin Qin Ji" before March 20.
The main characters of "Looking for Qin" have been decided. Xiang Shaolong will be played by Agulai, and Zhao Pan will be played by Jiang Yan. The other characters are basically recruited from TVB. The original version shall prevail, except for a few designated by Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan will naturally play them.
The most outstanding roles are reserved for your own people.
Jiang Yan will stay in "Looking for Qin" until before the men's basketball training camp, and will continue to deal with basketball until the end of the Olympic Games in October. After October, he will choose the opportunity to start "Love Through Time". The screenwriter of this film, Feng Li, has a great background.
She is from the Writers Association. In addition to "Love Across Time and Space", her works also include the familiar "I Love My Family". So last year, Jiang Yan took advantage of the Music Association's costume competition to get in touch with them and spent a lot of money on it.
Perfect cut off.
Having said that, Jiang Yan's schedule is basically full this year, so the time he can film "Looking for Qin" is more than two months, March and April. In this time, it is natural to complete the role of Zhao Pan.
Enough, but reality always has surprises, so the more time you have, the better.
Jiang Yan's goal is to create the first time-travel drama in the true sense of Hong Kong and the first time-travel drama in the Mainland, all in the hands of the stars and the sea.
The time traveler will naturally become the originator of time travel in film and television dramas. This is dignity!
After talking about his own affairs, he then talked about other people's projects in the company.
Among the other projects, the main one is Zhang Weijian's "Xiaobao and Kangxi". This is also a co-production with TVB. The actors can be flexibly interspersed if they have schedules. And because of the "Wei Xiaobao" theme, this drama is actually another marriage.
drama, in short it is very maneuverable.
During the filming of "Infernal Affairs", this film will start shooting, and Wang Jin has probably set a date of February 20th.
After "Xiaobao and Kangxi" ends, Zhang Weijian will start "Chess Warriors" or "Young Zhang Sanfeng", which are mainly for mainland audiences, and are also dramas that will consolidate the popularity of Li Binbin and Ren Guoguo.
In addition, "I Love to Remember Lyrics" will also be launched in March. Liu Yan has been imitating it for a long time. Chen Hao can also make a guest appearance by then. After she has been practicing for a while, "Pink Girl" is waiting for her, maybe this year, maybe next year
, in short, hard work will be rewarded.
In terms of movies, Huang Bo's "Get in the Car and Let's Go" will also start filming, and Zhou Zhiruo's "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" will also start filming at the right time.
In addition to these, there are also a bunch of investment film and television drama projects in Xiangjiang, Bayan, Mainland, and Hollywood. In short, listed one by one, the total investment is close to 800 million yuan, of which the bulk is
"The Lord of the Rings" took it away.
This directly makes the management excited, but also worried about whether the company's money is enough.
Last year, several dramas made huge profits, the highest being "Shaobao 1", which is now on its fifth round of sales, with a total revenue ratio of more than 6 times. One drama has topped other companies for many years.
The total revenue of all TV series last year was 110 million yuan, and the movie revenue was about 23 million yuan. This is before tax, but even after tax, it is still far from 800 million yuan.
Just when he was worried, Jiang Yan announced that Xingchen Cinema Chain would start laying the groundwork to become the first wave of people to eat crabs when the theater chain is reformed. The first batch will invest a budget of about 2 billion, and the total investment will be 3 to 5 billion.
Budget.
When the managers heard that there was so much money, they almost jumped out of fright.
According to this scale of expenditure, it is among the top among private enterprises in the country.
So our little Xingchenhai Entertainment Company is a powerful force in the mainland?
But Jiang Yan smiled slightly and said to himself that this was just for entertainment, and there was a budget of 5 billion for science and technology.
Of course, these funds are not given in one go. After all, U.S. Internet stocks have plummeted since March, and the money will have to be used for short selling.
But then again, when the Internet bubble bursts, even if you keep 300 million US dollars, it will be able to double five or six times in a year.
Added together, Jiang Yan's assets are heading towards 30 billion.
In this case, the person sitting in front of you is the richest man in the Mainland. If you knew this, wouldn't you be scared to death?
So Jiang Yan just calmly said: Roll up your sleeves and work hard!
After everyone dispersed, they held a meeting with their respective subordinates. Although many things were kept secret, it still made the entire sea of stars excited.
This year’s budget is several hundred million, what a guy!
Everyone feels that they are truly lucky to be able to join such a company.
At the annual banquet that night, Jiang Yan gave away two hundred thousand red envelopes, which was equivalent to one or two thousand red envelopes for everyone, so the whole dinner was very lively.
However, as the boss, Jiang Yan would naturally not be the last to win. He left early and handed over the place to Huang Bo and the others, so that they could play more relaxedly and Jiang Yan could be happier.
In the villa, Zhou Zhiruo once again changed her appearance as a goddess, transformed into a female war goddess, and fought with Jiang Yan from Nantianmen to... Well, Zhou Zhiruo's physical strength was not good, or Jiang Yan's physical strength was too strong, so Zhou Zhiruo had to go all the way.
It was finished while begging for mercy.
On February 13th, Tang Dynasty and the crew of "Legend of Heaven and Earth" arrived in Hengdian, and filming will start on the 15th.
In addition to Xu Huaiyu, the heroine of this film was played by Huang Sanshi's wife Sun Li in the original version.
This time it was still Sun Li, even if Jiang Yan mentioned Jia Jingwen.
But it's not because of Cai Yinong's problem, but because of Jia Jingwen's own thoughts.
When Jiang Yan found out, his heart tightened. Could it be that the third lady also started to practice Buddhism?
Fortunately, Jia Jingwen was not like that, but because of Wu Zongxian's introduction, she joined another group. The director of that group had been kind to her before, so she went there. But she was selected, so it was difficult to recommend.
In addition, her role requires an artist to play two roles, which is very challenging, so Jia Jingwen and Jiang Yan played coquettishly. Well, how could Jiang Yan endure this!
Of course, Jia Jingwen still encountered some things after joining the group, but Wu Zongxian still had some energy, and Jiang Yan's money cleared the way, so Jia Jingwen was very safe, and her historical trajectory coincidentally returned to its original state.
.
The crew is called "Flying Dragon in the Sky", which is a miracle film. This year's ratings champion in Bay Area, Jia Jingwen was also dubbed by Bay Area media as "the woman that all Chinese men are willing to kneel down to pursue" because of this film, which is enough to show that
How much this drama has benefited her.
So Jia Jingwen, who has regained her confidence, really has a bright future, but she just suffered from Jiang Yan and could not meet the third lady in Hengdian.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan will go to Wanwan during the Wanwan Golden Melody Awards in a few days, and Jia Jingwen also said that he will listen to him in everything then, well... If he said this, Jiang Yan would not feel sleepy immediately.
Having said that, the first thing the Tang Dynasty crew did when they came to Hengdian was naturally to visit the pier.
And Jiang Yan also met the clam spirit that many people miss.
Speaking of which, Jiang Yan always feels that Yang Mingna, who plays the Clam Spirit, and Sun Li, who plays the Golden Peony, look quite similar.
Just like Li Chun and Wang Ou, they both clashed.
However, Jiang Yan is not very interested in these people. Sun Li has a man, Yang Mingna is just like that, and Xu Huaiyu is even more beautiful than him.
Except for Sun Li, these main creators are very interested in Jiang Yan.
After all, it was Jiang Yan, right, so he came with enthusiasm.
As a result, Jiang Yan was even less interested in them.
So after a brief chat, he just found an excuse to leave.
As for this film, there is no way to record the script anyway. His progress space must be reserved for "Infernal Affairs" and "Quest for Qin", and even if he can be recorded in the end, he will have to go through the early stages as a mortal after entering, but this is a mythical world
Ah! He really doesn’t dare to play.
Calculated this way, the only thing left in this film is to brush up on skills and see if the Tang Dynasty can adjust the scene and take a bite of clam essence in advance...
Thinking like this, the "Lord of the Rings" key in my mind suddenly turned into color.
Jiang Yan immediately realized that this was the completion of "Lord of the Rings 1" in New Zealand!
Calculating the time, it is indeed about this time.
So, can we get in or not?
After Jiang Yan spent five seconds thinking about it, he decided not to enter. First of all, he thought it would be fun to enter at the same time as the release date. Besides, even if he wanted to enter, he would have to find a movie about the ordinary world and try it first to accumulate some points for mortal survival.
experience, otherwise such a good opportunity will be wasted.
So where can I find a film that is almost finished, can be invested in, and has a suitable subject matter?
At the first moment, Jiang Yan thought of TVB. There were many dramas there, so he called TVB Fang Yihua. After the call was connected, Fang Yihua checked for a while and informed:
"Of course there is. There is a drama that will be completed the day after tomorrow. What is the subject? Tang Dynasty palace drama, of course there is no magic. What's wrong, A Yan? What? Investment?"
Ten minutes later, Fang Yihua hung up the phone with questions in his mind, and Jiang Yan also embarked on the road to Xiangjiang.
