Chapter 713 Everything goes well

After visiting the literary company, Wang Yuan has lived here, and he can't even drive him away.

Of course, "rush" is a joke, a little joke after Chu Xuan and Wang Yuan got acquainted with each other. Customers are attracted by the business they started. This in itself is a very fulfilling thing, so naturally it is impossible to drive away customers.

It just surprised the couple. This top second-generation son in the cultural circle is really in love with the screenwriting profession and literary creation. He does not just regard this profession as a symbolic thing as imagined. He has such a passionate heart.

It's quite rare for a person of this status.

Wang Yuan wanted to stay in the literary company for a longer period of time and communicate and learn more with screenwriting teachers. The couple had no objections and were even more happy to see this happen.

The industrialization of screenwriting is a literary creation model unique to the brilliant era. This sounds very confidential, but the couple and Liu Yiba must have more influential industry insiders like Wang Yuan observe and learn, and then subtly influence the entire industry.

industry.

The industry is affected and changes, which is the embodiment of the greatest value of industrialization. Only then will it gain the support of relevant national departments, thus opening up the situation of industrialization in an all-round way.

If industrialization only applies to the Brilliant Era, it will be a company's own business and will have little significance for the development of the industry, the country, and the film and television field.

At present, we are still far away from this ultimate goal, and it is not yet known whether it can be realized. It is still a long-term ideal with a long way to go.

Cai Yinong and Li Guoli continued to be involved in the negotiations to merge Tang Ren into the Bright Times. When it came to showing the screenwriting industry, the couple was a little cautious. Compared to Wang Yuan, the young screenwriter, what he saw was probably less comprehensive. As a young screenwriter,

Cai Yinong and Li Guoli, both semi-capitalists and senior film and television people, should have broader thinking.

When they see this sophisticated operation model of screenwriting industry, they should be able to imagine that TV and movies will also be affected by all-round positive effects, thereby driving the overall development of the Brilliant Era.

This can deepen their intuitive experience of the rich heritage of the Brilliant Era, thereby lowering the bargaining chip for merging into the Brilliant Era, and thus helping Sister Hua gain more initiative in this negotiation.

The couple doesn't know whether the facts are really what they think. Although Tang Ren's overall value is not very good, after all, it was Cai Yinong and Li Guoli's team who worked hard to develop it. If they are about to lose control of the company, they will struggle and think deeply no matter what.

, they can only wait for Sister Hua to tell them the final result.

These days, the couple is working on the script while taking guests Jack and Grande from afar for a walk.

First, we visited the major subsidiaries of the group. After greeting them in advance, the executives of each company also engaged in some formality, giving high courtesy to the two distinguished guests from Lo Laiwu, and also demonstrated the most dazzling achievements of the company.

part.

Century Culture’s most valuable TV copyrights, Star Culture’s variety shows watched by more than 100 million people, cinema chain companies’ hundreds of luxury theaters, artist managers’ high-end business...

As Macron is the overseas strategic partner of Bright Times, it is necessary for Bright Times to show its strength in all aspects. The stronger the Bright Times is shown, the more stable the cooperation with Macron will be.

When the cooperation was reached in April, Macron and his wife came to visit Bright Times. Jack compared the descriptions of his parents at that time with what he had seen with his own eyes in the past six months. After the groupization, the scale and layout of Bright Times were obviously stronger.

It made him more sure of his judgment——

"The Brilliant Era is the Disney of the East."

Although it is still far from Disney, it is still in its early stage at most, but with its development, he can imagine that it will become a giant in the Eastern film and television industry, which also makes him more determined to Macron and the bright era.

The heart of cooperation.

After visiting the company, tourist attractions are naturally indispensable.

The Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City Museum... the humanities and history in them amazed the two foreign friends again and again, and the magnificence of the various buildings also shocked them.

But when he visited the National Palace Museum and saw the unearthed cultural relics and the eras they represented, Jack said self-deprecatingly: "My former teacher told us that China only had a civilization of three thousand years. This foreign history class was a lonely one."

."

Many Western countries treat the history of China, and most of them start from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, starting from the period of Confucius.

Confucius' Confucian culture is the most well-known in the world among Chinese civilization. It is estimated that those Western historical nihilism experts will find it difficult to erase Confucius, so they calculate the inheritance of Chinese civilization from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in 770 BC.

Not counting before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, even if cultural relics from the Western Zhou Dynasty and Shang Dynasty were unearthed as evidence, Western experts would turn a blind eye.

You unearth yours, we say ours, it doesn't matter if you bring out the evidence, the media is in our hands, we can say whatever we want, and our citizens will believe whatever we say, that's the situation.

If foreigners want to understand the comprehensiveness and authenticity of Chinese civilization, only by truly visiting China can they break their perception and say something like Jack complained: "This foreign history class is lonely."

They had a deep understanding of the power and bright future of the Brilliant Era, and also felt the light of China's long-standing civilization. Jack and Grande did not forget the official business of this trip, the investment and casting of "The Twilight Saga".

The total investment is planned to be 40 million US dollars, equivalent to just over 300 million yuan. This is a huge amount in the Chinese film investment market, but can only be regarded as quite satisfactory in the Western film investment market.

But the difference in investment amount does not mean how good the West is. It is just a difference in market prices between the East and the West.

Compare this with the salary of a director in China, which is 20,000 US dollars a day, and that of a director in the West, which is 20,000 US dollars a day.

It seems to be a gap of more than seven times, but a breakfast in China is 10 yuan and a breakfast in the West is 10 US dollars. The price difference is also 7 times. The purchasing power of China is different to China and the purchasing power of the West is to the West.

Not much different.

Many people who worship foreigners and favor foreigners see that the United States pays wages in US dollars, and they deeply think that wages are very high. They also think that prices in the East and the West are the same. They think that with such high wages, it would be great to develop in the United States and the moon would be very round.

These people don't even think about it. The average salary is seven times that of China, and prices are still the same as China. If this were true, the Western world would have experienced inflation and an economic collapse.

After the film company took the "Twilight Saga"-related texts into account and considered it, Wang Jinhua finally made the decision and invested US$8 million, equivalent to nearly 60 million yuan, accounting for 20% of the shares.

Wang Jinhua was also influenced by Chu Xuan. She had always believed in Chu Xuan's vision. Chu Xuan said that "Twilight" was likely to be a hit, so she began to consider investing in it assuming that the movie would be a hit.

How much is appropriate.

20% is the highest proportion given by Jack on behalf of Macron, and the remaining 80% is allocated by Macron himself.

Jack did not expect that The Brilliant Era would be so grand. The first cooperation gave him full sincerity and resolved part of the investment in the film, which made him quite happy: "The Brilliant Era will always be my most important moment in Macron's career in China."

A faithful companion."

Wang Jinhua smiled and said: "This money will take a week to operate, and will be transferred to your account by Bright Times Asset Management Company."

Jack didn't care: "This is a small matter. I have no doubt about the strength and credibility of my partner."

Los Angeles-based Bright Times Asset Management Company has no overseas projects yet, so it has little financial reserves and needs an injection of funding from the head office.

Converting RMB to US dollars involves foreign exchange and overseas cooperation. The affairs here are very troublesome and take a lot of time.

As a shareholder of Xinlang Micro Entertainment in Bright Times, and Xinlang's shareholders are all over the world, Wang Jinhua asked Cao Guowei to help contact a Xinlang shareholder in the United States, and asked him to help inject US$8 million into an asset management company in Los Angeles, and then

By transferring funds to Macron in the name of investment from the asset management company, the capital operation in the country's local currency will be much faster and more convenient.

Bright Times used nearly 60 million yuan in exchange to transfer the money to this person's bank account in China to complete this foreign exchange swap transaction with this American shareholder.

Such internal foreign exchange transactions are very common among the shareholders of many domestic companies listed overseas. This is also a manifestation of the strong capital network.

After the major investment matter was resolved, everyone's attention turned to the matter of casting.

Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Wang Jinhua had already decided not to interfere in this matter and let the casting director brought by Jack make the decision.

Huang Bing, the chairman of the artist agency, sent an internal message to the actors, informing them about "Twilight" and asking interested actors to come to the company to meet with the casting director and get a simple makeup look.

Go through the motions and try your luck.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were very curious about this. They didn't know whether the whole army was wiped out or whether someone was attracted by the director.

In the couple's opinion, people like Su Chang, Jiang Xin, Zhao Liying, Huang Xuan, including Hu Jun, and Ren Quan have too oriental faces. As Hollywood newcomers, it is obviously very inappropriate to be included in a vampire movie with a completely Western culture.

suitable.

Only Li Congcheng, who has been in the international film industry, has a certain degree of compatibility between her face shape and temperament and Western culture.

The result was not as expected by the two of them. The casting director took a look around and picked the only one selected, Li Congyi. I don’t know whether it was to show the glory of the era or because Li Congyi was really good, so he gave Li Congyi a relatively important role in "Twilight".

The second female lead in "The City", Alice Cullen.

The sister of the male protagonist Edward Cullen in the vampire Cullen family.

In this version, in order to fulfill the love between the male protagonist Edward and the female protagonist Isabella, Alice broke off their marriage and finally died together with the werewolf.

This kind of role is liked by the audience, and Li Li is very satisfied with it.

Li He, her biological sister, was even more happy for her. The bosses did not allow the company to interfere with casting matters, which made her want to do something for her sister Li Congcheng. However, she did not expect that the final good result would still fall on her sister Li Congcheng.

Yes, everyone is really happy.

"Sister Congcheng, congratulations." Liu Yifei and Li Congcheng hugged and congratulated.

"You are the male and female protagonists of Brother Chenglong. When the movie is released overseas, the revenue will be greater than mine, so we should be happy together." Li Congtong replied with high emotional intelligence.

Even if the company has cooperation and investment in movies, it is not easy to get an important role under the overall quality control.

After receiving the character script, Li Zhengtong immediately went home to study in retreat, waiting for the call from Macron's crew.

Jack and Grande have almost finished their fun and have done their business. Every day they are delayed on the movie will cost them more time. They have been in the capital for half a month, and they should go back with Macron's team.

Returned to life.



In December, the capital city is as cold as frost, with fine snow falling in the sky.

In the afternoon, the sky becomes gloomy.

At the international airport, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli's family bid farewell to Jack and Ellen.

"Bon voyage, Grande, see you in New Haven."

"Why are you going back to school?"

"Be sure to come before graduation."

Ireland was speechless. There was still half a year left before graduation. This Sissi and Chu Xuan were really stuck together and couldn't be separated no matter what.

"Jack, it's a safe journey. Welcome to come to the capital next time."

"Chu Xuan, come to Los Angeles when you have time, and we will discuss production and directing matters."

"good."

Jack shook hands with Chu Xuan and said goodbye. This trip to the capital was truly an unforgettable trip. He saw a lot of culture and things beyond his cognition. The most memorable one was the screenwriting industry in the Brilliant Era, which also made him have a deep understanding of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.

With a deeper understanding——

"These are two outstanding film and television people who are very innovative and pioneering, and they are also two very pure young artists. It is an honor for me to be friends with them." He commented when talking to his parents on the phone.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Jack, Grande, goodbye."

"Goodbye, aunt."

Liu Xiaoli waved her hand. Grande had often been a guest at her home in New Haven before, and she was her daughter Sissi's only best friend abroad. This time they did not greet them when they came to the capital, and she followed the two when they said goodbye this time.

A kid takes a trip.

After watching the group of people enter the terminal, the family returned to the nanny car.

Compared with the heating environment inside the car, the cold outside can be described as freezing.

After Liu Yifei sat down on the sofa, she immediately took off her furry bunny hat, smoothed her slightly messy hair, and feeling Shang's still cold face, she naughtily picked up Chu Xuan's hand that had been in his pocket, and then stroked it

on one's own face.

Chu Xuan was wearing a military coat. Seeing that Liu Yifei was feeling cold, he opened the left side of the coat and said, "Come and try it to keep you warm."

Liu Yifei blinked and then shrank into Chu Xuan's arms.

Chu Xuan used half of the military coat to cover Liu Yifei like a quilt. Liu Yifei felt a burst of warmth and suddenly squinted her eyes in comfort: "It's warm, buy me a military coat later."

Liu Xiaoli saw her daughter huddled in her son-in-law's clothes. Such a loving and warm scene made her smile softly: "Military coats are a magic weapon. In the winter of the 1970s and 1980s, they were a must-have for our generation."

Liu Yifei looked at her mother and asked: "Then why are so few people wearing them now? I think they are much more reliable than down jackets."

"It's too ugly." Liu Xiaoli said.

"It's not ugly." Liu Yifei stood up and took a look at Chu Xuan's military coat. She didn't think it was ugly.

"That's what he wears. Try it on someone else?" Liu Xiaoli said.

What he said made it sound like Chu Xuan was handsome and the others were ugly.

Liu Yifei lay on Chu Xuan's chest again, huddled in the military coat: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Pan'an is in the eyes of the mother-in-law."

"What the hell." Chu Xuan was stunned. Such a sentence suddenly popped out, which also made him laugh.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help laughing when she heard her daughter's golden words: "By the way, Sissy, your grandma called and asked you to return to Wuhan a few days early for the Chinese New Year."

"A few days in advance..." Liu Yifei didn't know why: "Why?"

"Your grandma said that her granddaughter is getting married and will have less time to spend with her in the future, so she asked you to go back a few days earlier to spend more time with her." Liu Xiaoli joked.

Hearing this explanation and seeing her mother's joking look, Liu Yifei felt a little embarrassed and puffed out her cheeks to express her inner shyness: "Okay, let's go back a few days early. What about Chu Xuan?"

Liu Xiaoli said: "Let's go back to Wuhan first. Xiaoxuan and Sister Hua will come over on New Year's Eve. They will go to their parents' house first, and then go to your dad's house on New Year's Day."

Chu Xuan nodded: "New Year's Eve is January 25th, and there are still more than 50 days. The preliminary work of the TV series should be almost arranged by then."

The scenes and makeup were arranged intensively by Qi Mu and Fang Wenshan and their team.

Only the script needs to be completed, and then a detailed list of props can be compiled and the props can be prepared.

Fifteen screenwriters divided their work to write the script clearly. Unlike "Hope", which was an experimental creation without specific goals, the creation efficiency of "My Love from the Star" is very fast, and the script will be completed probably in the middle of this month.

After finishing the script, spend a month preparing props. Many of the props for urban dramas are ready-made and can be purchased. Only a few need to be customized. One month is definitely enough.

It should be more than enough to get these preparations done before the New Year.

"Director Chu, when are you going to shoot?" Liu Xiaoli called out "Director Chu" jokingly.

"After the new year, if we don't get the engagement done, we won't be able to concentrate on filming." Chu Xuan said, the top priority right now is the engagement, and if he doesn't get the engagement done, he won't have much energy to do other things.

Liu Xiaoli nodded slightly: "Is there an investment meeting in a few days?"

"The day after tomorrow." Liu Yifei said: "Zhou Jielun had a concert some time ago and will not be able to come until tomorrow. From the day after tomorrow, he will take care of this with us."

"Come on, it's best to get your money back directly. You won't be under too much pressure in the future." Liu Xiaoli encouraged.

"I have guessed with Li Hed that it is very likely that the sponsorship fee will be repaid directly." Chu Xuan said, and Liu Yifei nodded.

"That's best." Liu Xiaoli said, seeing the vehicle stop, she got up and got out of the car: "Let's go, we're home."

The family got off the car and walked into the villa.

As soon as I took two steps, Wang Jinhua's phone call came.

After Chu Xuan answered the call, he said: "Sister Hua and Cai Yinong reached an agreement. Tang Ren agreed to merge into the Brilliant Era. Hu Ge and Yuan Hong will come over tomorrow. Sister Hua asked us to attend the welcome banquet tomorrow."

Getting this news made him feel very happy.

In the closed loop of the group's own production chain, in terms of television, there are currently three dramas a year.

If you want to break the upper limit, then the pre-production process of the literary company, the filming and post-production processes of the TV company, the publicity and marketing team of the head office, the long-term cooperation channels of other TV stations, the cultivation and recruitment of high-quality artists by artist managers... these are just a few

Each department in the link must be upgraded accordingly to increase the company's operating ceiling.

This requires time to develop and progress.

Unless it acquires a mature film and television company to increase the group's operating ceiling and achieve rapid development and resource integration.

The merger of Tang Ren played such a role, and it also gave him and Sister Hua a good start in the development strategy of the branch base expansion model.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli said: "I just said that Cai Yinong has no reason to disagree. It will happen sooner or later."

She spends time with Wang Jinhua in the company every day, and is most aware of Tang Ren's weaknesses.

They have the ability and strength to create, and there are several reliable artists who are on the rise. In addition, there are no channels and resources to show their creative abilities and cultivate artists. Even if they do exist, they are not stable. They belong to the East.

We do things here and there, but we don’t have a basic base of resources and channels.

There are these things in the Brilliant Era, which are enough for Tang Ren to develop rapidly.

Even if Tang Ren is controlled by Bright Times, it will be purchased with money of corresponding value and will not interfere with Tang Ren's management and operation.

For Tang Ren, whose status in the industry is neither high nor low, the advantages of merging into Bright Times obviously outweigh the disadvantages.

She told Wang Jinhua that if Cai Yinong only wanted to make quick money, then this cooperation would be a mystery. If Cai Yinong wanted to develop in the long term and make lifelong profits, she would definitely agree.

In her eyes, Cai Yinong has ambitions in the entertainment industry, and now it seems that she was right.

Liu Yifei put her hands in Chu Xuan's purse to keep warm. She was very relieved when she heard the news. She jumped up and said: "Now, the development breadth of the group's TV series has reached a new level. Hu Ge and Yuan Hong can also get it."

For faster and better development, fresh blood has also been added to the group's young actors."

Jack and Grande's official business ended yesterday, and they just saw each other off. The first cooperation between the two parties was successful.

Now there is good news from Sister Hua. The preparatory work for the TV series is also going smoothly. Everything is really going smoothly.
