Back To 2005

"Do we need to be concerned about this kind of money-deceiving three-nothing product??? Okay, okay, how are you preparing for the press conference?"

Zhou Anan did not continue this topic that did not require worry, and was not worried at all about what would happen to the science fiction film "Guarding the Magic City". Zhou Anan was concerned about this afternoon's press conference.

The title of the film sounds like a hit on the street, and I don’t know how many investors’ money that Fleet Entertainment has stolen.

Even if the other party really does a good job, that's a blessing for Chinese science fiction movies, isn't it?

Oh, only they, Blue Whale Entertainment, can carry the banner of revival of Chinese science fiction films, the others are just noobs.

This confidence is a must.

"Almost ready."

After being told this by the major shareholder, Feng Jiming put aside the slightest worry in his heart and talked about the preparations for today's press conference.

After several days of casting, the male and female protagonists and many important supporting roles of "The Martian" have been confirmed. The reason why we waited until today to announce it is that the company completed the acquisition of Jiying Special Effects Company yesterday.

Everything is ready, just waiting to be announced to the world.

It's a pity that Feng Jiming felt a little unhappy because he was robbed of the limelight early in the morning.

"That's fine."

After waving his hand, Zhou Anan was ready to continue working.

"The press conference is about to begin, do you want to go there?"

"No, just go and host it."

"Okay, I'll go there first."

Not planning to attend the press conference, Zhou Anan briefly looked at the company's documents and prepared to run away.

Unfortunately, he was stopped by Secretary Chi who was waiting there: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Feng asked you to take some time to attend the company's party dinner."

"Okay, what time does it start?"

Facing this serious-looking secretary to the general manager, Zhou Anan asked about the timetable.

"It starts at half past five. I will contact Special Assistant Huang then."

"Um."

There were still two and a half hours left, so Zhou Anan didn't waste it and started playing online games in the office.

After a period of negotiations, Five Star Game Company has agreed that Celebrity Group will be the agent for DNF Games in China. The agreement has been signed and the China server will be opened in mid-September.

Under the pressure of Five-Star Games, Nanchao M Game Company had no choice but to give up the copyright of "Hot Blooded Jianghu".

The original copyright of "Hot Blooded Jianghu" on China's side was about to expire, and after paying a small amount of liquidated damages, it was returned to the Celebrity Group.

September will be a new turning point for the celebrity group.

Thinking of this, Zhou Anan controlled the swordsman in "Hot Blooded Jianghu" to kill monsters bravely. He didn't know if there was something wrong with the maintenance in the last few days. The Internet speed in his chairman's office was also a bit slow.

From time to time on the World Channel, someone would use a golden lion's roar (a game prop) to scold the game's Internet speed. After roaring, a few dollars would be lost.

Fortunately, because of the agreement, the promotional price of the ingot items in the game can only be 10% off, which does not have much impact on the prices in the game.

All these problems will be escalated and dealt with after the celebrity group takes over.

Doing the math, the system has only been out of service for the past two days.

"Everyone, now we invite our director Li Donglai to lead his creative team."

In the large conference hall of Blue Whale Entertainment, dozens of media reporters carried guns and cannons. When Director Li Donglai appeared, lights flashed.

Although many entertainment media reporters went to cover the inside story of the so-called 500 million investment movie, under the appeal of the cooperation between Blue Whale Entertainment and director Li Donglai, many large media sent people to attend the press conference.

The most important thing is a free luxury buffet and valuable gifts or red envelopes after the press conference.

For these entertainment reporters who travel around the world, the practical is the most attractive.

If there is money, there will be applause.

"Wow."

Amidst the applause, Li Donglai walked onto the stage with a group of creatives.

Even though both the male and female protagonists are first-line movie stars who have won the title of Best Actor and Best Actress, the focus of many reporters is still on director Lee Dong-rae of Hollywood's "Return of the King".

"Director Li, what is the name of the movie you are cooperating with Blue Whale Entertainment and what type is it?"

Soon, the first reporter who was called up to ask a question obediently asked a normal question.

In terms of director status, Li Donglai, who has returned from Hollywood studies, can be compared with several billion-dollar directors in China. Journalists like them also need to correct their attitudes and show respect.

"The first movie I collaborated with Blue Whale Entertainment is called "The Martian." It is a science fiction film about China's conquest of space and Mars in the future."

When Li Dong said that the new project was also a science fiction film, everyone immediately started talking when they thought of the big news in the morning, with raised hands all over the venue.

A female reporter with good looks was selected. After standing up, she immediately asked: "Director Li, what is the total investment for this science fiction movie?"

"Let me answer this question for Director Li. The initial investment for our science fiction film is currently 300 million, and will be increased according to the shooting plan. There is no upper limit. Moreover, we have already invested in this science fiction film before we started shooting. We spent a huge amount of money to acquire Jiying Special Effects Company in Hong Kong City, specializing in special effects production for this science fiction film."

Feng Jiming, who was sitting next to Li Donglai, took the microphone at the right time and announced the presence of Blue Whale Entertainment.

As for the glorious history of Jiying Special Effects Company, it is not suitable to waste time on this occasion. These reporters will naturally find out the relevant content afterwards, and may even know more comprehensively than he does.

"Wow"

Unexpectedly, Blue Whale Entertainment was so generous. The reporters present were in an uproar, and the shutters of their cameras flashed continuously, as if the film was free of charge.

In the morning, several companies such as Lian Nian Entertainment had just announced a 500 million investment in science fiction movies. In the blink of an eye, Blue Whale Entertainment and Li Donglai had produced a 300 million science fiction movie. It was simply a rare event in the Chinese film industry for many years.

Except for the costume dramas of several top domestic directors, there has never been such a large investment in a science fiction film in the history of Chinese film.

"Excuse me, this reporter."

There was another raise of hands, and Li Donglai chose a new questioner.

"Hello Director Li, I am a fan of yours. I would like to ask what prompted you to return to China to shoot science fiction movies?"

"Is such that."

After asking Li Donglai more than a dozen questions, everyone's attention shifted to the male and female protagonists of the movie.

While the press conference of Blue Whale Entertainment was in full swing, the heads of two of the top three companies in the country sat together and discussed new cooperation plans.

"Brother Huang, if we don't work together, we will have no place in the Chinese film industry."

Looking at the real-time news reports refreshing on the web page, Huang Qiulian from Huang's Pictures said with a smile.

"Little sister Qiu, please give me an idea."

After lighting a cigar, Huang Dongqing from Bohua Film and Television knocked on the table, waiting for the other party's next words.

They are both billionaires and don't waste time chatting.

"The two of us will cooperate and invest hundreds of millions to make a science fiction movie."

"Sure, let's do it."
