This time, his reputation as "Son of the Wind" has soared, and the advancement of various projects and investments are much more comfortable than before.
Even Jiang Yan doesn't have to spend any money, he just writes the script and gets the commission to make money.
However, all his projects are profitable, so if he can do it all by himself, he must do it all by himself.
But the problem is of course that he has too many projects in his hands. If he really wants to monopolize them, to be honest, he really can't handle them.
In addition, the rules of the game are not suitable for monopoly, so in the end, joint investment was chosen.
For example, "The Fast and the Furious" had a relatively large investment, with a budget of 80 million US dollars, and the box office of the first film was only a small profit in the original time and space, so Jiang Yan directly decided to invest in the project with Universal, and is currently entering the casting stage.
Whether Jiang Yan acts or not depends on his mood.
In exchange, part of the share of "Kill Bill 2" was given away.
The total investment for the first part of "Kill Bill" was close to 70 million, with a global box office of 350 million. They were naturally willing to invest in such an IP.
But for Jiang Yan, it seems that this is a loss. After all, it is not cost-effective to exchange a small amount of investment for a hot IP, but it doesn't matter, because "Fast and Furious" is outstanding in the series, and the next few movies will be the best.
Make big profits.
Not only that, Jiang Yan also received an additional bonus through "Kill Bill 2", which was the investment amount in "Fake God".
With an investment of US$80 million, this film grossed US$490 million at the global box office, a huge profit!
Originally, this film was one of the films that Jiang Yan wanted to develop, but after talking about it, I found out that Universal had already approved this project, but they were just waiting for Jim Carrey's schedule, and there were some reasons why he was not optimistic about it. After all, 80 million
It's a bit exaggerated for a comedy, so I kept putting it off.
But now that Jiang Yan has joined the cast, people are naturally willing to let go of this ultra-high-budget comedy.
So it seems that Jiang Yan is still losing money, using a popular IP to gamble on two films with an unknown future, but the movie business is like this, and everyone knows it.
Then there is the film that Jiang Yan and Warner are solely responsible for, that is "Prison Break", which has also entered the casting stage. Jiang Yan still has the same request, it is best to use the original cast.
It doesn't seem to be a big problem at the moment. The leading actors Miller and T-Bag Knepp are currently in the industry, so it's easy to find them. Others are not particularly important, so it won't be a big problem to insert a few domestic actors when the time comes.
.
In addition, the advance trailer of "Kung Fu Panda" will be released soon.
This film is currently less than half complete, but it doesn't matter. All we need is to drive the nail in and announce to the world that such a film is coming.
And the response is indeed very good. In one sentence: you can always believe in pandas.
In addition to the above, "The Swordsman" has also started to go overseas. After the domestic release has received considerable response, a reset version will be produced according to the situation and released in the United States. It is of great significance to be able to be released in the United States.
In short, so far, the name "Son of the Wind" is very resounding, and Jiang Yan's other identities besides being a singer are also widely known.
Therefore, these projects will naturally have a layer of blessing when they come out, so that countless fans will pay for them.
Of course, there are some who are bullish and some who are bearish.
For example, in "Lord of the Rings", many people still think that Jiang Yan spent a lot of money, and some people even asked if Jiang Yan was cheated.
Jiang Yan also couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't care. After all, the quality of the film still depends on the box office. I believe it won't be long before Jiang Yan's "fiery eyes" become famous in the European and American film circles.
As for film and television drama projects, these are the ones currently available. There are others, but Jiang Yan is not prepared to do them all at once.
Take your time, slow progress is the last word. These projects will succeed anyway, so he is not in a hurry.
In addition to film and television dramas, variety show projects in Laos and the United States are also about to start.
But we have to wait for domestic variety shows to come out first, so there’s no rush.
In addition to this, Jiang Yan's personal video website is also about to start financing.
Jiang Yan actually didn't have much idea about this website. He only used it as a tool when he first created it.
But now that he can make money, he naturally wants to do it well.
The specific recruitment of various operations teams will be left to the small target, and the future direction will also follow the path of the oil pipeline.
Jiang Yan didn't have much expectations whether he could successfully ring the bell or something, since he didn't spend much money anyway.
Although I say that, in fact, the technology of this website is not easy to be surpassed in this era.
Therefore, there is still a high chance of a successful listing in the end.
Of course, going public will involve some sensitive issues, and Jiang Yan has already been prepared for this. He is not interested in those things, so if the situation is not right, he will get rid of it. This does not put much psychological burden on him.
What's left is music, which is the position that reaps the biggest dividends this time.
This wave of dividends is huge, it can be said to be more than the sum of the previous harvests.
The value of dividends is not only reflected in income, but also in terms of status.
The name "Son of the Wind" has become famous all over the world, so various top invitations will naturally not be late.
There are various song invitation requests, commercial performance cooperation, fan activities, etc., which are overwhelming.
Among them, the first one that attracted more attention from Jiang Yan was the invitation song for the 2002 World Cup theme song.
He doesn't like football very much, but he is still interested in the World Cup.
Being able to perform on a stage like the World Cup is definitely a sign of a celebrity status, and of course he will strive for it if possible.
With the top resource of the World Cup, the previously suppressed Victoria's Secret performances seemed very shabby.
But you still have to go up if you can, this is also the rule of the game.
And the Victoria's Secret performances of this era are not the same as those more than ten years later.
The current Victoria's Secret show is at the peak of its popularity, unlike more than ten years later when it was declining and became an ordinary exposure stage.
So if Jiang Yan goes up, both sides will actually benefit.
Victoria's Secret can attract traffic, and Jiang Yan can also use this S-level resource to consolidate his status as a celebrity.
It's just that in the past it was Jiang Yan who wanted to fight for him, but now it's others who want to fight for Jiang Yan.
This is how Vanity Fair works, the more famous you are, the more you take the initiative.
Speaking of celebrity status, according to Warner's assessment, Jiang Yan's current celebrity status in the music industry is already in the top tier. If his next album can still be a hit, then it is certain that he will become a top tier artist.
Who is currently top-tier in Europe and America?
In the music industry there are Madonna, Britney Spears, etc.
In the film industry, there are Tom Cruise, Russell, etc.
Being able to be as famous as these guys, Jiang Yan actually feels quite accomplished when he thinks about it.
As for whether the next album will be a hit?
The name "Son of the Wind" is a joke?
Based on this alone, Warner expects Jiang Yan's album to be a hit, not to mention the songs in the new album that are as high-quality as ever.
This is also true. On the 15th, Jiang Yan took the lead in releasing the first song "unstoppable" from the new album on major platforms.
In less than a day, it has landed in the top five of various on-demand videos. According to media predictions, after Jiang Yan's "joey3" is officially released, the song will be at least in the top 15 of the Billboard, and there is a high probability that it will be in the top five.
The situation is great, Jiang Yan and his team are very happy, but there are also people who are not very happy, and that is the black snake.
In the afternoon after the release of song No. 15, Jiang Yan received a call from Kobe Bryant to investigate.
Kobe: "Why don't you come to the game?"
The 15th was Game 5 of the Finals between the Lakers and the 76ers. This game was decided in time and space. The Lakers won the championship, but there were also problems.
Today is the Lakers' away game. If Jiang Yan passes by, the provocation will be quite obvious.
After all, everyone knows that Jiang Yan is a Lakers fan, and the Lakers will definitely win if he goes to the scene, so no one can guarantee whether something will happen by then.
In addition, Jiang Yan himself didn't know much about the outcome of this game, so he simply stopped watching while he was too busy during this period.
So Jiang Yan explained: "You are playing away from home, you know my situation, why don't I get killed when I go?"
Kobe Bryant: "This reason is reasonable. Public security in Philadelphia is indeed not very good."
Jiang Yan continued: "Also, have you watched my "unstoppable" MV?"
Kobe: "Um, I haven't watched it yet.
"
Jiang Yan: "Look, I hinted so clearly in the MV. This is to wish you to win the championship in advance, and reporters are hyping it up, but you don't even know it. You make me sad!"
Kobe: "Oh, well, I'm playing basketball, you know, I have to focus.
"
"Okay, I forgive you, come on, win the championship after today's fight, and come to the capital to watch my concert in a few days. Hey, I'm a brother, and I haven't been to a single concert.
"
"Ah, my fault! Just look at it, I have to beat the shit out of No. 3!"
"That's pretty much it. Come on, I'm waiting for your good news!"
"No problem, that's right.
Well, let’s not talk about this for now. Goodbye. That’s all.
"
"Hey, Tsundere has learned how to show off!"
Jiang Yan smiled and hung up the phone, then dived into the rest of the trip.
The "Son of the Wind" tour has its final segment, and this time, he wants to completely dispel some of the remaining public opinion in the country.
(I’ll do this for today, I’m a little busy now that I’m at work, so I’ll update it tomorrow)
