On the 21st, on the plane to Wanwan, Jiang Yan looked through Li Xiuxiu's memo.
In the past few days, in addition to harvesting advertisements and variety show interviews to maintain exposure, I also have to talk to the heads of various projects.
Among the projects discussed, apart from those related to Xingchen Technology, the most important and the most numerous are naturally film and television drama projects.
This is the foundation of Jiang Yan's life, so it is natural that he should focus on it.
And these days, I have a cup of tea here, a drink there, finalize projects with my various connections, and spend a lot of money.
In the end, the project list alone was a full page.
The projects on this page also mark that Jiang Yan’s current network of relationships in the industry has gone from not knowing anyone at the beginning to now knowing almost everyone.
The grass finally grew into a towering tree.
What follows is the explosive development of Xingchenhai's artists this year.
The first is Xingchenhai’s own project.
"Xiaobao and Kangxi", starring Zhang Weijian, was co-produced with Wanwan CTV, and the relationship touches the treasure island.
At present, there are companies in China that can do this, but not many can handle the relationship well, and most of them are dominated by Wanwan.
The representative one is Qiong Yao Company. Qiong Yao dramas are killing everyone in the mainland. Related partners in the mainland are also making a lot of money, such as Xiangnan TV, but Qiong Yao is the leader. This cannot be changed. Next, Qiong Yao will work with Yangshi.
Even though we cooperated, there was nothing the Shonan side could do.
But Stars and Seas is different. The screenwriters, team and even the main cast are all from Mainland China or Stars and Seas. Even "Xiaobao and Kangxi" is the same, Wang Jin is one of his own.
In addition, Tang Dynasty has a similar development trend, but now it is still dominated by Wanwan, but Tang Dynasty is also owned by Jiang Yan, and the "Legend of Heaven and Earth: Fish Beauty" currently being filmed is one of its projects.
So in summary, when it comes to cooperating with Wanwan, Xingchenhai is at the forefront in the mainland.
His second major project is "Looking for Qin", in which Jiang Yan and his two wives participated, and TVB is the leading director.
To outsiders, Stars and Sea does not seem to have much initiative in this project, but the actual situation is now clear to everyone in the industry. Uncle Liu asked Jiang Yan to cooperate, and the nature of this project is different.
In addition, even if there is no initiative, it will be difficult for other mainland companies to participate.
Moreover, after "The Legend of Qin" ends, although "The Golden Branch" will still be co-produced with TVB, the participation of mainland actors will be much greater by then, and it will basically be a 50-50 split with Hong Kong actors.
It was only 2000, and Stars and Seas was definitely at the forefront of TV dramas in Mainland China and Hong Kong.
The same goes for movies. At present, the only domestic companies that can cooperate with mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan companies are Stars and Sea, and Huayi can be counted as one. However, Sister Hua has not joined the franchise at present. Huayi just spends money to invite Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to make money.
It is completely different from the sea of stars.
Among the projects, the third part of the "Infernal Affairs" series is a good example. In this era, it is indeed rare for a movie to have several mainland actors participating in the main roles.
After this, Liu Weiqiang and Wang Jin will also start a movie that they have long wanted to make, that is "The Battle of the Forbidden City", starring Andy Lau. The original heroine was Zhao Buffett, and now it is naturally Li Binbin.
After "Kill Bill", Li Binbin had "Battle of the Forbidden City" and then Xingye's "Shaolin Soccer". After several projects, Li Binbin's status among the new generation of mainland female stars basically stands at the top.
to the top.
In this way, Xingchenhai's cooperation channels have basically covered the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Hollywood.
And with the exception of "Battle at the Forbidden City", all of these projects will explode.
Therefore, if Xingchenhai wants to become the number one entertainment company in the mainland, relying on these few projects alone will not be a big problem.
In addition to Xingchenhai's own projects, Jiang Yan has also picked up many outside projects these days.
The first is a good drama given by Sister Hua, that is "One Foot to Decide the Country", a drama about the Song Dynasty Football Club.
This film is pretty good. Although it is not a blockbuster drama, the ratings and revenue prospects are not bad, so Jiang Yan naturally accepted it.
This drama originally starred Ren Quan and Li Binbin. Now these two people have changed their owners, and after going around and around, Sister Hua still found them. I have to say it is really fate.
In fact, strictly speaking, this drama is not a project that was discovered through Sister Hua.
Because this drama was produced by Forbidden City Film and Television, Han Sanpin had connections with it, and when they went to discuss it, Jiang Yan also knew that in fact, if Sister Hua hadn’t told her, there was a high chance that he would have found the Stars and the Sea.
But it doesn't matter, nothing happens if it happens, so let's count this as Sister Hua's contribution.
In addition, Sister Hua has gained a lot of benefits from Jiang Yan through Chen Daomin, so this reward is naturally not enough.
So after "One Kick to Decide the Country", Sister Hua introduced "The Legend of Lu Buwei".
This drama stars Zhang Tieling and Ning Ning, and the original version of Chen Hao will also have an outstanding performance in it.
So it just so happened that Jiang Yan directly spent money to participate and solved Chen Hao's employment problem.
One of the producers of this project is Gu Changning, who was also the producer of Chen Daomin's "Shaoxing Master" last year. He is considered a pure-bred Hua Jie.
It can solve the employment problem, and at the same time, the income from this drama is decent, so don’t give it up in vain.
In addition to the relationship with Sister Hua, master Chen Daomin also found Jiang Yan.
The master wanted to star in a TV series with Jiang Yan, which was the famous "Kangxi Dynasty". The film crew approached Chen Daomin. Chen Daomin said that I have an apprentice and I want him to play the younger version of Kangxi. Only he can play the role of me.
Such a temperament, but the condition is that filming will not start until November, because Chen Daomin knows that Jiang Yan is going to compete in the Olympics.
When the film crew heard that it was Jiang Yan, they said they would start filming after November if possible, and Jiang Yan agreed. Although he didn't like Qing palace dramas very much, "Kangxi Dynasty" was an exception. After all, the master had spoken.
However, this drama involves many relationships, so the outcome is not yet certain.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Apart from these, other projects are basically the relationships that Jiang Yan has managed by himself over the past year or so.
The first is Mr. Jin Ying and Ma Teng from the capital.
Mr. Teng is a very interesting guy. In the last "Peerless Two Prouds", Mr. Teng collected all the money he earned and added a little of his own personal money. After Jiang Yan spread the news of "lack of money"
, he immediately voted for "Kill Bill" by Jiang Yan.
No matter what purpose he had, Jiang Yan felt that there was no problem in strengthening cooperation with this person anyway.
So before, Mr. Teng had to work on a project and was short of money, so Jiang Yan just invested in it without saying a word.
Hence the "Riding Horses Howling in the West Wind" that I mentioned before.
Coupled with the "get in the car and let's go" agreement that was made early in the morning, Xing Chenhai and Jin Yingma are in the honeymoon period.
"Get in the Car and Let's Go" will be played by Huang Bo. Also participating in the investment are Beijing Film Studio and Yangshi Film Production Center.
This is a TV movie, so I don’t expect much at the box office, but there is no problem in preserving the capital, and the Sixth Princess will buy it out.
What Jiang Yan values is not money, but the depth of the relationship and the bonus the movie will bring to Huang Bo.
Another actor in the film is Gao Hu. This person has a "criminal record" from the perspective of Jiang Yan's later generations, but now he has not committed any crime, and he has some connections. His relationship with Huang Bo is actually not bad. In addition, the project
The one in charge was the Yangshi Film Production Center, so it was difficult for Jiang Yan to change people. In the end, the only thing he could do was to tell Huang Bo to stay away from this kid in the future.
In terms of TV stations, in addition to the TV movie "Get in the Car and Let's Go", we have two major projects with Yangshi.
That is "The Mansion Gate" and "Swordsman".
Jiang Yan had been approached for these two projects before, and they both wanted Jiang Yan to participate in the role, especially in "The Swordsman". Zhang Dabeard wanted Jiang Yan to play Linghu Chong, but Jiang Yan said he wanted the Olympics, so
Refused.
A few days ago, "The Swordsman" started filming, starring Shao Bin, but soon there will be a change of roles, and the soft-boiled guy will take over.
Regarding these matters, although Jiang Yan had an investment share, he had no intention of paying attention to them.
Regarding investment, at first Jiang Yan thought that if he didn't participate in the show, it would be difficult to talk about investment, but later he realized that he was overthinking it.
On the one hand, Yangshi is not a treasury. It also needs social funds. In addition, with Jiang Yan’s current energy, if he wants to participate in the Yangshi drama, he can just say that he can get as much as he wants. Naturally, it is an exaggeration.
But you can definitely get the share.
Therefore, both major dramas have Jiang Yan's share, but it is not easy to fill in the actors. Since Jiang Yan has no one, he only has these few, and the schedule is already full.
So I gave up.
To take a step back, even if there are schedules, there are not many roles suitable for our artists in these two films, so shoehorning them in may not necessarily be a good thing.
In addition, the role positioning, shooting cycle, right to speak, etc., compared with other projects of our own, the cost-effectiveness is clear at a glance.
As an actor, you still have to find someone who suits your role.
So in the end, I had to introduce some relationships that were not far or near to others, and it was up to the director to decide whether they could be hired, so Sister Hua received the favor again.
As for these two investments, although from the perspective of an entertainment company, the gains may not be too great, after all, they are not praising their own people.
But for Xingchen Technology, the harvest is still quite big.
Xingchen Technology provides free sponsorship for high-definition cameras, and a professional team is responsible for real-time maintenance.
For this reason, "House Gate" also decided to launch a publicity stunt as "the first domestic TV series shot with high-definition cameras".
So this is a good advertisement.
At the same time, Xingchenhai’s other projects have basically begun to use Xingchenhai’s high-definition cameras.
This is the first step for Xingchen Technology to enter the market.
I don’t know what the future will be like, just take it one step at a time.
Having said that, not all of Yangshi's dramas can be cast. For example, "Love in the Rain", which will be filmed this year, Qiong Yao is very stubborn. Let alone Jiang Yan, other mainland film and television companies want to cast it.
No, only advertisers can participate.
Hey, let’s eat the cake together, Aunt Qiong Yao’s style is too small!
Therefore, Jiang Yan directly rejected He Shuhuan...
In addition to the relationship with Yangshi, Jiang Yan has also strengthened cooperation with Lantai.
That is "The Eight-Year-Old Dragon in Tokyo" starring Jiao Meinan and Shi Xiaolong next. Strictly speaking, this film is a collaboration with Cheng Lidong from Hangzhou. This person worked at Lantai and knew Alima, so Jiang
Yan got in touch with him, and over tea one afternoon, the project came about.
The film "Eight-Year-Old Dragon in Tokyo" does not have high ratings, but in this era, with Jiao Meinan, a beautiful boy, and Shi Xiaolong, a child star, it has no worries about selling, so the relationship will be more solid in the future.
And compared to these later relationships.
Jiang Yan's close acquaintance brought him the biggest surprise now.
This humble acquaintance was Fan Datian.
At the beginning of "Blood Sword", Jiang Yan was still a minion. The two met because of Zhang Shuang, and Fan Datian did not despise Jiang Yan because he was nothing at that time, although Jiang Yan was pulling the skin of a tiger here.
factors, but after these days, Fan Datian's character is indeed acceptable.
And because Zhang Shuang, Wu Jing, Fan Datian and Jiang Yan, the four of them know each other and are close friends with each other.
So Fan Datian can basically be regarded as half of his own people.
So after "Blood Sword", Fan Datian later gave Jiang Yan the hit drama "Spring Scenes of Pigs". While making money, he also introduced Jiang Yan to Xu Shanzheng, but of course there was a little trouble.
, that is, Taohong would still send him text messages from time to time.
Having said that, since "Spring Pig" became a hit, Fan Datian's company is now on a fast track.
The next project was "A History of Martial Arts". Jiang Yan directly spent money to support it without saying a word, but instead of playing the leading role, he pushed Li Zi, Bai Feifei and Zhu Qiqi, in short, the role could not be
Low.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Fan Datian is a little regretful about Jiang Yan's non-participation, but after hearing Jiang Yan say that there are no major problems with the magically modified script, Fan Datian can also
He was immediately full of confidence, he could still trust Jiang Yan's vision.
In addition to "The History of Martial Arts", Fan Datian also has a super project, which is "Li Wei Becomes an Official".
Why does he have it? Because the screenwriting team of "Wulin Foreign History" is the Pumpkin Creation Center. This is Hainan Zhouyi, a magical company.
Hainan Zhouyi has been established for a long time, but it has only recently begun to officially lead the production of TV series. To produce TV series, it is natural to have connections with the TV station, and they happen to know Fan Datian, so it is logical that "Wulin Foreign History" and "Li Wei Becomes an Official"
It became a project to be built this year.
Now that Fan Datian talks about it, Jiang Yan will naturally not let this project go. Not only that, he doesn't even want to let Hainan Zhouyi go. In the future, this company will produce a lot of output, and the quality will be good.
So he deliberately took a detour during those ten days and chatted with Zhou Yi. The final result was gratifying and he successfully bought shares.
The model is the same as investing in Tangren, with no controlling interest or intervention in production.
At the same time, Jiang Yan also gave Zhou Yi the right to participate in the Star Ocean project.
This project refers to all projects, including Hollywood, so Zhou Yi agreed after considering it.
So this year, the sea of stars is happy to have a new member.
"History of the Martial Arts" will be stuffed with pears, and "Li Wei Becomes an Official" will naturally be stuffed with Chen Hao according to the original version. Needless to say, Xu Shanzheng will naturally find Fan Datian, but the favor will basically fall to Jiang Yan.
It can be said that Jiang Yan has made a lot of money this time.
At the same time, Fan Datian brought more surprises than that. He also had a project in his hand, which he said he didn't know if it would work. Jiang Yan took a look and realized that "It's all the angels' fault." In the original time and space, Ren Quan and Li
It doesn't matter if Xiao Lu plays the leading role or Li Xiaolu does, but Ren Quan still has to arrange it, so why don't you talk nonsense and just vote!
Fan Datian was definitely moved when he saw Jiang Yan supporting him so much, and the relationship got closer.
In addition to these, there are of course Hengdian's own projects, such as "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind".
There are also projects after Stars and Sea, such as "Love Across Time and Space" and "Shaobao 2", "Wind and Cloud" and "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".
As well as other less popular projects introduced, Jiang Yan also participated in some projects for future development.
So so far.
Jiang Yan is considered a prodigy in movies and TV series. She has a lot of projects, and most of them are hits.
The artists under the banner are also fully scheduled, and each of them will basically have two or three popular projects this year.
With such an amount of resources and few artists in Stars and Seas, this is like a rat in the granary, eating until they are full!
In this way, artists don’t have to worry about their promotion channels, and Jiang Yan doesn’t have to worry about the company during his upcoming training camp. Perfect!
And in terms of establishing a relationship network.
Geographically, Jiang Yan also involves the Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Hollywood. In terms of relationships with important figures, it also involves all aspects. In addition to these, there are many potential individuals and institutions, such as Zhou Yi, Zhang Dabeard, etc.
The network of connections can be said to be half of the entertainment industry.
In this way, both soft power and hard power are available.
By the end of next year, these projects will be launched one after another, and Stars and Sea will become the undisputed number one.
Of course, a lot of money is spent.
Therefore, although Li Xiuxiu is alarmed by the strength of her company's resources, she is also worried: "Just these film and television projects, coupled with Hong Kong's movies and TV series, as well as Hollywood's "Lord of the Rings" and "Kill Bill" expenditures, this will
It’s almost 1.3 billion yuan. Isn’t this a step too big? What should I do if I can’t get it back?”
Can’t take it back?
These projects will be received by you when the time comes!
However, Jiang Yan naturally would not answer directly. He just joked: "If you lose, you will lose. At worst, if you lose everything, I will sell myself."
"It will take several months to sell it." Li Xiuxiu blurted out.
"Wow, you've been planning this for a long time, right?"
"Of course, do you know how much you can get in one night just by nodding your head?"
"How much? Ten million?"
"Ten million is just an average number, and the highest offer now is 38.88 million!"
"Yo!"
Jiang Yan became excited, "Tell me quickly, which aunt is it? No, which sister is it?"
When Li Xiuxiu heard this, she rolled her eyes, put on her blindfold, tilted her head and ignored Jiang Yan again.
