As a Mercedes-Benz spokesperson, 741 must climb a tree!
Lao Fan finally understood the meaning of the sex scene, so he finally changed the role to his father, and at the same time cheated Jiang Yan with more than ten kilograms of ancient tea.
Jiang Yan didn't care, it didn't count as taking advantage, after all, it was given to him, the elder, and Lao Fan had worked hard for the Star Cinema line in the past two years, so this little thing was just a small thing.
If Lao Fan chose his father, then the heroine’s father would have to be someone else.
So during the casting session the next day, Jiang Yan recommended Liu Changsheng to Chen Kexin. This old man was one of Jiang Yan's oldest friends. He had solid acting skills and was relatively thin, so he was suitable for hospital bed scenes.
This time I went to see him, and by the way, I signed a contract for next year's "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword". It's time for the "Green Winged Bat King" to come back.
Apart from the two fathers and the heroine, the most important character is the black boss. This character is cunning and ruthless, and his subordinates who have followed him for many years are as evil as they say, but there is also a flash of humanity at critical moments.
This character, Chen Kexin, likes Jiang Wen very much, which makes Jiang Yan's hair stand on end. Now that he's here, how quiet can the crew be?
So Jiang Yan introduced him to the low-profile version of Jiang Wen, his younger brother Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu is also considered an old friend of Jiang Yan. The two met on the set of "One Kick to Determine the Country". They had already talked about collaborating, and now they can play together.
Chen Kexin also knew Jiang Wu and was quite interested in him, so she didn't refuse.
In addition, there are some scattered characters who don’t have many roles and have supporting functions, so I just listed them one by one.
Anyway, friends bring friends, and when the time comes, you can just choose whoever is suitable. If you are chosen, it will be a favor. If you are not chosen, you will not say anything. There are only so many pitfalls in a movie, and Jiang Yan will take it even if he is a bad guy.
Everyone knows that if an investor is not a fortress, then he or she is not an investor. It’s a simple truth.
After the casting is over, there will be about two weeks of preparation. This is Chen Kexin's business, and Wu Yong will assist him in completing it.
After finishing "When a Man Falls in Love", Jiang Yan is still very busy.
In terms of music, Sony is here to urge updates.
This year, Jiang Yan was entrusted by Sony with resources to obtain the World Cup. Now that almost half a year has passed, it is normal for Sony to be unable to sit still.
Jiang Yan had already planned for this, and replied that he could start after the new year after confirming the co-singer.
Sony returned home satisfied, and Warner also came to urge for updates.
This year Jiang Yan has not released an album in either Chinese or English. Although the reasons are very good, it is the World Cup and he is injured, but no matter what, he will still release it next year. After all, with Jiang Yan's current popularity, releasing an album is no longer a matter of gaining fame, but a matter of fame.
It's a matter of maintaining status and making money.
Jiang Yan also replied, don't worry, it will be released next year.
Henry nodded with satisfaction and immediately started working on Cui's movie.
The first is the problem of the second season of "Prison Break". "Prison Break Season 1" was a big hit last year. If the second season is released this year, if the quality is not much different, the profit will still be considerable, because "Prison Break" has formed its own
fan base, that is to say, this film already has the qualification to "sell emotions". If it is re-released in a few years, it can make a lot of money.
Jiang Yan said there was no rush yet. As for the reason, he had not yet decided whether to open the IP address. …
Because the quality of "Prison Break" in the later seasons of "Original Time and Space" has declined a lot, and the results have also dropped a bit compared to the first season. Now the results of the first season are surprisingly good. This is not good news, because it means that if the original time and space is copied,
If so, the results after the second season may plummet, which is not a good thing for Jiang Yan as a screenwriter.
So he made two preparations, one was to go to another world to copy other high-quality plots, and the other was to simply let it go and exchange it for other resources.
How to do it specifically will have to wait until the busy period is over.
So what he meant to Henry was to put "Prison Break" on first and finish "Fast and Furious 2" first.
This year "Fast and Furious" has achieved impressive results, with a box office of 140 million in North America and a global box office of 200 million. If the domestic box office in December is added, it is estimated that it will be at least several million dollars higher by then.
Moreover, the scripts for the subsequent installments of this project have been prepared, so work on "Fast and Furious 2" will begin in a few days, with the aim of still being released in the summer next year.
In addition to these two projects, Jiang Yan actually wants to work on some other IPs, but again, there is no time to think about it now. Let’s wait until next year. Anyway, he has a huge resource base and wants to work on something at any time.
.
"By the way, you promised your fans to hold a concert before, and I've received a lot of letters, all of them urging you."
Henry finally mentioned this matter again. Jiang Yan knew that this was the promise he made last year in response to the viewership numbers and fans of "Prison Break". As we all know what happened later, "Prison Break" became a big hit, so Jiang Yan really owed everyone
A concert.
But later, because of the storm in the World Cup, Jiang Yan revealed that he might not be able to perform anymore, so a group of fans began to express their strong feelings of reluctance to stay.
Jiang Yan still showed hesitation about this.
Henry knew at a glance that he was worried about the wind blowing again. In fact, Henry himself was also worried about what would happen if the wind didn't blow. Although his own media could be vaccinated in advance, but how can you deal with public opinion in Lao America?
Control? That’s not what you do, right?
Therefore, Jiang Yan will definitely be under great pressure from public opinion.
But the temptation is too great.
"Judging from the quotes we have received from advertisers so far, as long as you hold a concert and the wind blows, your income will be at least 100 million. If there is no wind, it will be about 30 million."
Jiang Yan was surprised and said: "One hundred million?"
A concert worth 100 million US dollars, this is definitely the most popular singer in the world.
The latter 30 million is actually quite high, and is on the same level as Michael Jackson at his peak, which is enough to show how famous "Son of the Wind" is.
So Jiang Yan was still a little excited.
Henry smiled and said: "Isn't it? If the wind really blows this time, you will be the most valuable singer in the world."
Jiang Yan said modestly: "I can't compare to Michael Jackson."
Henry was helpless: "But you are the Son of the Wind, the only Son of the Wind. This kind of thing is unbelievable, and it is normal to have high commercial value, so next year's Super Bowl is also here, and the price is quite good, but there are also bets.
.”…
The Super Bowl and the American Spring Festival Gala are the highest stages.
The Super Bowl took the initiative to find me, once again proving the weight of the three words "Son of the Wind".
Jiang Yan was very satisfied in his heart, but he still said worriedly: "Why do I feel that this situation is not good for me? It's okay if it's windy, but if it's not windy, do I have to retreat?"
Henry: "Some people do think so, but we can try not to let this kind of thing develop into the worst possible direction."
"That means no one can guarantee it, right?"
"Yes, but I believe you."
"I don't even believe in myself."
"But even if you refuse the Super Bowl, the fans must have an explanation for the concert."
Jiang Yan sighed after hearing this, then waved his hands and said, "Let me think about it first."
What to consider?
Of course, we should wait until the quotation is higher and the betting becomes crazier.
This quotation makes me appear and dream.
We have basically finished talking about the projects in music and the United States, and then there will be a series of projects in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Jiang Yan no longer pursues progress, but more of the long-term development of the company. Obtaining progress has become a matter of recording which script world he is interested in.
Therefore, compared with Xingchenhai's vigorous progress in the mainland and Hollywood markets, it has almost given up on the Hong Kong market.
However, Jiang Yan is no longer interested in Xiangjiang, but Xiangjiang still misses Jiang Yan very much.
Hua Qiang, Du Qifeng and other old friends from Hong Kong have been in constant contact with Jiang Yan recently.
Jiang Yan knew that the Xiangjiang market was in decline, and that he wanted to make a movie, but it was hard to make money by cheating, so he approached Jiang Yan to invest.
Others hope that Jiang Yan can launch a few more projects to save the market.
Not to mention making another movie like "Infernal Affairs", something like "Hedong Lion's Roar" would also be good.
In Wang Jin's words, "Hedong Lion Roar" is a bad movie, but it can't really make money.
With a box office of over RMB 22.3 million, "The Roar of the East" almost secured the 2002 Hong Kong box office title.
Next on the list is also Jiang Yan's movie, "My Sassy Girl" with a box office of around 21.8 million, almost locking in the runner-up spot.
Next up is Xiao Qi's "Marry a Rich Man" with a box office of 21.69 million, almost locking in third place.
After that, and the last movie with a box office of more than 20 million, was Liu Qingyun's "I Saw a Ghost in My Left Eye" with 20.71 million, almost locking in fourth place.
Why is it almost? Because 2002 has not passed yet.
However, people in the industry in Hong Kong are no longer very hopeful about whether there will be a movie to save the market this year, or even within a few years. Therefore, many friends in Hong Kong have contacted Jiang Yan, saying that your box office appeal in Hong Kong is still the same.
Qiangqiang, let's launch a few more projects? Try to save one and save the market.
Jiang Yan would definitely not pay attention to the talk of bailing out the market.
What is a bailout?
Co-productions are definitely not counted, they must be purely local, and local ones also require multi-faceted cooperation, such as "Infernal Affairs" with the participation of multiple actors and companies.
Otherwise, more than 60 million for "Shaolin Football" last year would have been enough to save the market, right?
In fact, this kind of film does not exist.
For example, the "Underworld" series, the "Chill" series, or the "New World" series will also work...
But Jiang Yan has no interest, mainly because he is busy. If he really wants to do it, it won't be too late to do it next year.
But if you don’t do it in a big way, it’s still okay to stir-fry and eat cold rice.
So Jiang Yan quickly decided to make one "Dark War 2" next year and another "Slaying the Wolf 2: The Fuse", that's almost it.
"Dark War 2" was handed over to Johnnie To. This was a side task of investing in his new movie. Jiang Yan gave him a rough plot framework and he let him play the rest.
"Slaying the Wolf 2" was prepared for Wu Jing.
I don’t care if Xiangjiang Film dies or not, Wu Jing’s status as a celebrity still needs to be consolidated.
Anyway, in the eyes of mainland movie fans and domestic entertainment industry, Hong Kong circles are still very high-end, so Wu Jing must make good use of this advantage.
So "Sha Po Lang 2: The Fuse" can be released. At the same time, this movie can also solve the problem of the newcomer An Zhijie that Huaqiang wants to promote.
Wu Jing and An Zhijie added "Chang Wei" and threw in Fan Bayi who was in the original version. If you want to play Agu in the original version, give it to him. If you don't want to play, Jiang Yan will make a cameo. In this way, brothers have taken care of it.
The concubine is also comfortable, and the interests with Xiangjiang are also stable, perfect!
The Hong Kong area is like this for the time being, and the demand in the bay area is also great.
Jiang Yan on Wanwan's side has also been prepared for it. He has already started preparations for "Eternal Dragon Sword", which he had agreed to shoot early next year, and strives to start filming early next year. Part of the market share will also be given to Wanwan Lao Wu. This must be given, no
Lao Wu and Jia Jing couldn't deal with some troubles they had in Wanwan, so Jiang Yan was very generous.
And Lao Wu is also very happy. Two years later, Jiang Yan's current status is no longer what it used to be. Now Jiang Yan still abides by his previous agreement and has not forgotten his old friend. In his heart,
Naturally, I felt very comfortable, so I took the initiative to cooperate with some TV stations in Wanwan.
Wu Yong was relieved to know that Boss Wu would participate.
The TV station that Wanwan cooperated with before even called him and said that there might be some trouble in future cooperation.
The most important among them are some questions about the unspeakable.
This year, the "exchange" between Bay Area and Mainland China in terms of film and television dramas has not been very good.
This can be reflected in the Golden Horse Awards in November this year.
Due to some unspeakable reasons, the budget of the executive committee of this year's Golden Horse Awards was frozen by a certain group. The direct consequence was that the scope of this year's Golden Horse Awards was artificially narrowed. Many outstanding mainland films almost disappeared from this year's Golden Horse Awards. Jiang Yan
"The Disciple" was not even nominated because of its relationship with the Mainland.
Instead, there are some Hong Kong films whose quality cannot be complimented, resulting in a significant loss of authority.
This also caused the Golden Horse Awards, which used to be crowded, to suffer an embarrassing winter. Many celebrities, filmmakers and even award winners stopped attending, causing the popularity of the Golden Horse Awards to plummet.
It doesn't really matter whether Jiang Yan dies or not at the Golden Horse Award, it's just an award. This award has a high gold content, and it would be a pity to lose it. But if the gold content drops significantly, it won't hurt to lose it.
But if you don’t need the award, you still have to hold on to the Wanwan market. This is a matter of money and influence.
So in this case, Boss Wu plays a great role.
This is indeed the case. After Boss Wu knew that "Yitian" was about to be launched, he quickly took over several TV stations, eliminated all hidden dangers, and at the same time left enough space for the film. …
This will be helpful for Stars and Sea dramas to enter the Bay Area in the future.
So after receiving the assurance from the TV station, Wu Yong felt relieved for the time being. There were so many dramas in Stars and Seas that were related to Wanwan, so it was a pity that it was discontinued like this.
Jiang Yan actually doesn't feel much. He knows that there will be no problems on both sides of the Taiwan Strait in the future, and he has said before that he is mainly thinking about Jia Jingwen. It can be said that that is Jia Jingwen's base. After "Love Through Time" is broadcast,
, Jia Jingwen is about to embark on a journey to dominate the Bay and the mainland.
Of course, even without Jia Jingwen, he would not give up on Wanwan Market, after all, there are so many fans here.
So Jiang Yan still put "Initial D" on stage as planned.
"Initial D" aims at the market centered on Wanwan, and at the same time it can also help its little brother Jay.
Don't ask why so much Mother Charity.
You must understand this truth. Jiang Yan's status in the industry is that of the boss of the employer. What the employer has to do is always how to make money and how to consolidate its market position.
So is there any problem with letting Little Heavenly King make money for himself?
No, it should be said that he helped a little brother and made a good story. Is there any problem?
Well, actually the most important thing is that as a Mercedes-Benz spokesperson, you must climb a tree!
The ambition I made many years ago must be achieved!
So Jiang Yan communicated with Jay Chou and gave him a few compositions, such as "All the Way West" and "Drift". After writing them, he tried to adjust the album time so that it could be linked with "Initial D".
Jay knew that Brother Yan was trying to support him, so he was full of fighting spirit and began to write songs like crazy, practice acting, and practice driving...
