Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

When Gu Xintong entered the dressing room, Zhou Cheng had time to look at the studio: "Qian Duoduo, you also came back from studying in Paris. Not to mention that the studio is in this shabby place, the area is too small."

"You lend me money." Qian Duo glanced at Zhou Cheng with disdain. In Qian Duo's opinion, Zhou Cheng's financial situation should be the worst among the siblings.

Zhou Cheng doesn't mind: "After a while, after my movie project is approved and I get investment from People's Art, I will ask you to do costume design and give you some business."

"Thank you..." Qian Duo originally thought Zhou Cheng was bragging, but looking at him seriously, he didn't look like he was joking: "Did Sister Qian say you are really planning to make a movie?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise I wouldn't be busy going back and forth."

"Okay, as long as you help me this time, my mother can never accuse me of not doing my job properly."

"Auntie?" Zhou Cheng thought about the other more powerful woman in the family and couldn't help but feel his legs soften: "Sister, you should listen to your auntie. I won't drag you into the gang. You should find someone to marry as soon as possible.

.”

"Look at how cowardly you are." Qian Duo made a contemptuous gesture towards Zhou Cheng again: "This girl inside has a good figure. Is she your new beau?"

"Don't talk about the Hong Kong Typhoon. There's no such thing as a fool. This is an employee of our company. Come with me today to see the world."

"Tch, I don't know yet. You have been a coquettish guy since you were a child. If you like her, you will chase her. This girl is pretty good, especially her hairstyle. I like her."

"Stop it, I have problems with short hair."

While the siblings were still arguing with each other, the door to the dressing room opened over there.

"Wow, Xintong, you have such a cool temperament." Qian Duo looked at Gu Xintong and couldn't help but praise: "This blue jumpsuit matches your tall figure, it is absolutely fashionable, handsome and neat."

Zhou Cheng also feels that the outfit Qian Duo chose is quite suitable. Gu Xintong's temperament is not suitable for skirts, but jumpsuits are more handsome and show off her own characteristics. However, this outfit has high requirements on the figure and is not easy to wear.

A whole 50-50, not only does it have no aura, but it even stretches the crotch a bit.

Gu Xintong, who is 170cm tall, looks as if he was tailor-made. He is tall and handsome when he wears the upper body. With the bright diamond embellishment, he is even more advanced and refined, charming and full of aura. And this one-piece suit

The top of the trousers was a camisole with a hollow design on the back, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin. Zhou Cheng actually saw a hint of feminine charm in her body.

"It must be an illusion." Zhou Cheng shook his head. He must have gotten angry because he had not discussed braised chicken with Li Jiaqi in recent times.

"Isn't the back of this a little too exposed?" Gu Xintong was a little shy.

"Beautiful!" Qian Duo couldn't help but exclaim, and then made a semi-arc gesture with his hand on his chest: "You can straighten your back further so that the curve in front of you can be revealed."

Gu Xintong is not a person who can't let go. The shyness just now is a female instinct. Seeing Qian Duo's praise for her, she straightened her body and showed her height advantage: "Okay, anyway, I am an agent.

, I’m not an actor, and not many people pay attention to me.”

"The Sun Also Rises" is the third film directed by Jiang Wen. The investors of this film are Hong Kong-based Emperor Pictures, Yanjing-based Taihe Media and Jiang Wen's own Biyilehu Film Co., Ltd.

After Jiang Wen's first film "Sunny Days" was widely praised abroad and received a good response from the mainland market, his second film "The Devil Is Coming" attracted the attention of many film and television companies. The final result It was banned and could not be released in the mainland, causing the investor Huayi Brothers to suffer a huge loss.

After several years of preparation, Jiang Wen took the script of "The Sun Also Rises" and told the TV companies in Yanjing that I want to make a third film, so you should come and invest as soon as possible.

At this time, the Huayi brothers, who had already been fooled once, got out of the way, and Taihe Media, which had transformed from real estate, stepped in.

According to the pre-budgeted budget, Taihe Media invested 18 million, but when the filming of the film was only halfway through, the funding came to an end.

After receiving the notification letter from Jiang Wen requesting additional investment, Wang Wei, the CEO of Taihe Media, was about to burst into tears. Only then did he realize that Jiang Wen's filmmaking was just like the rumors, and the budget had to be multiplied by two.

As a real estate businessman, Wang Wei would rather stop the project than stop the loss, and refused to make additional investment. In the end, Yang Xuecheng from Xiangjiang Emperor Pictures looked at Jackie Chan's face and invested an additional 20 million, taking away the film. Half of the rights to the film and all overseas rights.

Such a result makes Taihe Media have no choice but to swallow the past.

Three companies, three demands.

The Emperor made the investment to support Jackie Chan's eldest brother's son, and Jackie Chan would provide other rewards in other aspects later on.

What makes him happy is that Jiang Wen's own company counts his own actors' remuneration as investment. Not only did he not pay a penny, but he also took away 20% of the box office revenue.

In the end, only Taihe Media seemed to have been taken advantage of, spending real money and only getting a part of the domestic box office revenue.

This premiere was also requested by Taihe Media because after internal reviews, everyone lacked confidence in the film.

In the end, Taihe Media decided to sign up for this year's Venice Film Festival to build up the popularity, and then hold a premiere that was not open to the general audience. All the invitees were either insiders or media people with whom they were familiar, and insiders For Jiang Wen's sake, he would not give a bad review, and the media people would even encourage him after receiving the money.

With the bragging of this group of people, we can put some more mysterious veils on this film. When the popularity is reached to the extreme, and the fans who are looking forward to Jiang Wen's film are even more excited, it will be officially released. You can take the opportunity to reap a wave of box office.

This is a theory that Wang Wei came up with by selling houses. They call it "hungry selling".

Jiang Wen rejected this kind of premiere ceremony from the bottom of his heart. In the end, he still looked at Taihe Media. Emperor Pictures had really invested too much in his film this time, and it would be a big loss for him if he couldn't get his money back. influence, so I agreed to hold it.

The venue for the premiere was the Wandou International Cinema on Jianguo Road. Guests holding invitation letters entered the cinema through two channels.

Celebrities generally enter through the main entrance. Taihe Media has a red carpet, signature wall and media interview area here. After entering the main entrance, take the sightseeing elevator directly to the fifth floor. There is also a social gathering place here for the convenience of these guests. for communication.

Another channel is for insiders like Zhou Cheng, holding invitation letters in hand, to take the elevator from the underground parking lot to the fifth floor to participate in insider exchanges.

According to the matching plan given by Qian Duo, Zhou Cheng wore a white suit to match Gu Xintong's blue clothes, so as to set off the female companion next to him.

"Qian Duoduo is a feminist, you should stay away from her in the future."

"I think she has a good personality and we get along very well. She even invited me to be her model."

"Did you agree to her? Are you planning to change your career to a model?"

"Isn't it okay? Only by experiencing it can you know how to lead an artist." Gu Xintong used Zhou Cheng's words to refute him.

Zhou Cheng almost choked with anger. When he saw the elevator reaching the fifth floor, Zhou Cheng bent his arm and motioned for Gu Xintong to take it. He said angrily to Gu Xintong: "Take my arm. This is what you should experience."

Gu Xintong, who was still a little reluctant at first, was shocked by the decoration of the movie theater after stepping out of the elevator, and unconsciously held Zhou Cheng's arm.

"This is our invitation letter." Zhou Cheng handed the invitation letter to the staff and walked in with Gu Xintong.

This was the first time for Gu Xintong to come to this newly opened cinema. Looking at the colorful and dazzling interior, she couldn't help but praise: "This cinema is so beautiful, much better than the one at the Workers' Cultural Palace."

Different from the large and small movie theaters that have sprung up like mushrooms after a few years, the newly opened Wantu Cinema is the first super five-star movie theater in Yanjing. All the hard and soft audio-visual equipment inside are the first in Yanjing. At the same time, they are also the first in Yanjing.

It has the first IMAX theater, which can provide a first-class visual feast. However, there are no films that can meet IMAX standards at this time, making this theater just a gimmick.

Zhou Cheng had been to this cinema many times in another world. In a few years, more luxurious cinemas would emerge one after another, so he had no feeling at all. He introduced to Gu Xintong: "This is the first super five-star cinema in Yanjing."

The theater is definitely better than the one produced in the 1970s and 1980s at the Palace of Culture. In a few years, maybe we will build a theater chain of our own."

"Haha, let's wait until you finish filming the movie."

Zhou Cheng also wanted to introduce his future ambitions to Gu Xintong, and saw a few acquaintances who had met him once.

Just when Zhou Cheng was about to greet him, a man with gold-rimmed glasses walked up to him and said arrogantly: "You must be Zhou Cheng. My name is Zhou Kaiwen. I have something to talk to you about."

talk."
