Chapter 233 Troubled Yongsheng(1/2)
The Golden Horse Awards are sponsored by the government every year, but in recent economic recession, the support is getting smaller and smaller. Fortunately, with the increasing rise of Chinese-language films, the Golden Horse Awards are the most premier award in the Chinese-language film industry, so there are sponsors!
There are eight sponsors this year!
Sponsoring a Golden Horse is probably the least cost-effective deal, because you can't hear the host say something like '20 million photos are clearer, oppo illuminating your beauty...'
In the early morning, it drizzled in the sky, the temperature dropped sharply, and I could feel a significant chill when I bare my shirt.
Changing shirts and jeans, Xiaobai sat in the living room waiting for the young lady to put on makeup...
That’s right, Xiaobai is here!
Of course he will be present for his girlfriend's coronation ceremony!
"Pan Yueming became popular again with "White Night Chase", and the low-key acting player finally ushered in spring!"
"Why are a group of traffic-produced young actresses ridiculed? The vegetables are original sins, but if they don't work, they won't work!"
"What are you looking at?"
The young lady finally finished putting on makeup, looked at Bai Xiaofei, who was smiling at the ear of ear, and asked.
"…Nothing, I'm talking to Weibo hot searches, it's quite fun."
"Another new power of movies?"
"right!"
"No one informed me!"
"…Hurry up and change jobs. The General Administration has now set his sights on Huanrui. Who made your broken company think about hype all day long..."
"No, I have two years to go to contract!"
"Or what if I pay for it?"
"No, I don't expect them to take resources anyway. Stay there. If he wants to take action against me, I will sue it directly!"
The two chatted and arrived at the elevator.
"Sister Taohong, Brother Xu Zheng, such a coincidence!"
"…What are you two doing?"
"I have nothing to do, go out for a walk, and few people in Taiwan know me!"
Xu Zheng frowned: "...You won't go to the Golden Horse Film Festival?"
"I won't go. "The God of Medicine" has already negotiated the export copyrights of twenty-seven countries. The influence of the Golden Horse Film Festival is not as good as Sister Zhong's connections!"
Although it is a bit biased, Zhong Lifang successfully negotiated overseas copyrights in nearly 30 countries, and of course it also leveraged the influence of the Li Kaixin family in Singapore...
The Golden Horse Film Festival is a supporting film festival for the Golden Horse Awards. The Taiwan market was relatively broad at that time. Compared with the native port of Xiangjiang, many Hong Kong films will participate in the Golden Horse Film Festival. In recent years, the capacity of the Taiwan market is not as good as a province in the mainland, and there are fewer and fewer films participating in the Golden Horse Film Festival!
Although the name of the Golden Horse International Film Festival is very impressive, it is not true around the world. It should be said that it is not famous in East Asia!
I just want to ask, which master's film will premiere at the Golden Horse Film Festival?
Even Hou Xiaoxian and Cai Mingliang will bring the film to Cannes!
"...I have to go. You have Sister Zhong, but I don't have one!"
Xu Zheng was a little worried...
...
“…Do you still want to go shopping?”
"Nothing interesting!"
"Or why don't we go to Eslite Bookstore?"
"No, I want to..."
"Wait, I'll answer a call!"
Seeing the number, Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, but it still connected, and there was a very refreshing woman's voice opposite.
"Where are you?"
“…I’m in Taipei.”
"Then let's meet, my secretary and I are here!"
"OK."
I hung up the phone and looked at the young lady who pretended to be indifferent: "Let's go, someone will invite her to dinner!"
"Who?"
"Gu Nianxi!"
"…your former boss?"
"right!"
"Why did she come?"
"…With director Xu Anhua, the producer of "When will the Moon Come" is Yongsheng!"
...
After a few casual words when we met, Gu Nianxi said his purpose and attracted investment!
"Asura is created by Hollywood's first-line special effects team. This team has created "Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars", "Fast and Furious"! It took 6 years to prepare, cost 750 million yuan, 2,400 special effects shots, and top talents in the film industry in 35 countries..."
"stop!"
Xiaobai waved his hand and interrupted, and his brain hurt.
How did this mess be transferred to Yongsheng?
"…I know this movie. I asked me half a year ago and wanted me to invest 300 million yuan. I didn't even watch the script and just pushed it!"
"Why? We have studied it and fantasy themes are promising around the world!"
"…Then let me ask you, what is the highest box office in mainland China with fantasy movies?"
"Well…"
"Is it "The Dragon Search" with a box office of 1.7 billion, or is it because of the power of the original "Ghost Blows Out the Light". Others like "The Hobbit" and "Painted Skin" failed to exceed one billion. With an investment of 750 million, do you think it is possible to recover the cost?"
In fact, the script of "Asura" is like a god-expanding, just one word, it's bad!
Unlogical behavior and causal relationship...
Why, now there is no money?
It is said that the production company of "Asura" has picked up a film and television base in Ningxia Xihaigu...
Xihaigu has always been one of the poorest areas in China for thousands of years. Why? Because it is not suitable for human habitation!
Then why do you still need to build a film and television base there?
Big brother, what political achievements!
Then, the Discipline Inspection Commission issued a notice: Ma Zhihong, former member of the Standing Committee of Guyuan Municipal Party Committee, former secretary of Xiji County Party Committee, and others dereliction of duty...
The film and television base was demolished, but the movie has invested hundreds of millions of dollars. What should I do?
Pull people into the gang!
Yongsheng made nearly 400 million yuan in a year last year, and this year's variety shows and TV series also made a small profit. He has always wanted to build a big project. At first glance, he has an investment of 750 million yuan!
Damn it!
Big project!
Get closer decisively!
With one investment after another, Gu Nianxi felt more and more unsure, so she thought of Bai Xiaofei...
"But...we have invested 200 million!"
"How many? 200 million?"
Xiaobai immediately sneered, Zhen Jiba is rich!
Yang Lan, who was as quiet as a chicken, quickly patted Xiaobai's back.
"Ahem... stop investing. No matter what he says, don't investing. The movie will be at most one billion yuan in box office. The more you invest, the more you lose!"
"…You are so unfavorable to this project?"
Gu Nianxi frowned.
"Yes, I'm not optimistic!"
"If you make so much money, can't you make a little contribution to Chinese movies?"
"…Sorry, I really didn't see what "Asura" has to do with Chinese movies?"
"You...you will regret it!"
Gu Nianxi turned around and left the coffee shop.
