China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 7 If it wasn’t for this movie, I wouldn’t buy this house

Fantasy World Network, reception room.

Chen Jingxing sat on the sofa, under the frequent gazes of the female employees walking back and forth outside the glass partition wall, and boredly read a booklet, which contained an introduction to Huanshi.com's current strength data and development vision.

Huanshi.com is currently one of the four major long-form video platforms in China. It ranks first among the four major platforms in terms of average daily views. It has been listed on Hong Kong Island and is currently the only listed company among the four major platforms. It can be said that it has strong financial strength.

Of course, Chen Jingxing did not identify Huanshi.com. Other platforms including Penguin, Tianhu and Fengshen contacted him, and the completed films were sent. However, Huanshi.com was the first to respond to contact him, only two days later.

Chen Jingxing could only sigh. It was no wonder that it was rumored that Huanshi.com was a maniac about working overtime and squeezed its employees the most. The efficiency was indeed very fast.

"Chen Jingxing?!"

A man with glasses wearing a plaid shirt took a few steps forward hesitantly, and it took him two seconds to confirm Chen Jingxing's face.

"Li Yang?"

"Ha, my old classmate has changed his life. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"...Do you accept the split-account model?"

Holding back his anger: "I passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to Beijing Normal University."

"...More than five million?"

"Effective on-demand account sharing + advertising account sharing."

Good guy, is this some new negotiation method?

First use flattery to get him off the ground, float into the clouds, make him lose his mind, and coax him into signing an unequal treaty in a daze?

A very ordinary high school classmate relationship.

"no problem."

"...So you have realized your dream?"

"I understand, I understand, um... I've also heard that there seem to be some independent colleges and joint branch branches under Beijing Normal University."

"Ha! Just kidding, I heard you didn't go to graduate school? What are you doing now?"

He didn't become a laughing stock among girls because he was the school idol.

The two looked like old friends reunited after a long separation. They hugged each other with joyful expressions, shook hands, and sat down. It was obvious that they were good buddies.

Zhang Jingyan was originally the director of the purchasing department of a well-known satellite TV station. After two or three years of continuous "seduce" by Huanshi.com, she was moved by its sincerity and resigned from her job at the TV station to become the purchasing department manager of Huanshi.com.

"You've given me the award. In fact, there are still many immature aspects in the film and the shooting process."

Chen Jingxing pulled on his tie and shook his sore shoulders. He had to say that today was the day when he spit the most. He had never spoken so much during the filming.

The news that Chen Jingxing failed to take the postgraduate entrance examination was brought up by Li Yang's mother on the phone. Li Yang's mother was also a teacher and was a colleague of Chen Jingxing's mother. Li Yang still remembered his mother's regretful and gloating tone when she mentioned this matter.

"Can I ask, which college did you graduate from?"

"This is my home. I spent 4.5 million when I bought it."

"I heard that you have also contacted three other platforms?"

"No problem, give me the news as soon as possible."

"...Does that sentence have a logical relationship?"

"..."

"Mr. Zhang, you just praised this movie for its extremely high level of completion and called me a movie genius."

Chen Jingxing was a little flattered.

The original cost of "Comet" was only US$50,000, which was quite cheap, mainly because the eight actors in the film were paid basically zero, and one of the actors was the director and screenwriter.

Seriously speaking, it's a little worse than ordinary.

"For a movie to have a clear story, reasonable logic, persuasive characters' personalities and actions, without ending, and with sound soundtrack and editing, all these require the director to have extremely strong control. To be honest, I have always doubted this movie before.

Mr. Chen, your teacher or parents took the lead in taking the photo."

"Beijing Normal University, majoring in mathematics and applied mathematics."

"You made a movie?"

It’s just that I passed the exam, but the important thing is that I haven’t passed the exam yet, so I have become a laughing stock among the boys in school.

"I'm really sorry. Mr. Zhang just had an emergency meeting. Please come with me."

Zhang Jingyan has a round face. Although her age can be seen, she has very few wrinkles on her face. A round face usually gives people a more friendly feeling, but a pair of red and phoenix eyes destroys this friendly feeling. The sharp eyes remind Chen Jingxing of high school.

Teaching Director.

"The degree of completion of this movie is very high, which is amazing."

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I just finished the meeting and I have a question that I want to confirm again. Please forgive me if I'm offended."

He failed the high school entrance examination, so the high school he attended was not a top one in the city, but it was not bad either. The class he was in was a science Olympiad class. He was a top student and was expected to go to a prestigious school. However, at the critical moment of his senior year in high school, he took a long leave to take the art exam and became a teacher.

In his eyes, he is completely unprofessional.

"But I also thought that my teacher once told me that 'the world of ordinary people is empirical, and the world of geniuses is a priori', so... everything is possible?"

"I'm sorry, are you Mr. Chen Jingxing from DreamWorks Studio?"

"Can I leave?"

"Mr. Chen, stay here. I have a question and I would like to exchange opinions with you."

When Chen Jingxing was in his senior year of high school, he took a week off to go to Beijing to take the entrance examination for the Academy of Film and Television. The news that he had not passed the exam was news to the entire school at the time.

"...I didn't say it so bluntly, and usually people can't boast that they are geniuses. Besides, whether you are a movie genius or not, the degree of completion of the movie has no causal relationship with the market acceptance. I hate big variety movies, but this is not

Influenced his success at the box office."

"So we may mention Mr. Chen in marketing, and even need to use Mr. Chen's portrait or other aspects as promotional materials."

"I have been working in this industry for thirty years and have met countless directors. If this movie was made by a director over 35 years old, I would not be so surprised. But for someone as old as you, even if you have a professional background,

, it’s great to be able to make an interesting short film. In fact, many people have made countless commercials or short films, but they still can’t make a decent 90-minute film with a complete structure.”

"So the actual production cost of the movie is 500,000? The buyout price of 1 million is also a huge profit."

"...I thought that was your home."

A girl wearing a business suit and riding high heels walked over in two or three steps after seeing Chen Jingxing, with a professional smile, three parts surprise, three parts gentleness, and four parts apology.

Chen Jingxing is not afraid of being famous. It’s not that he has never thought about directing and acting, but he has no choice but to show his acting skills.

"If a cooperation can be reached in the end, the company will also need to promote the film. After all, the wine is also afraid of the alley. If it can achieve more successful results in marketing, this will benefit both parties."

Zhang Jingyan leaned a little tiredly on the backrest of the ergonomics chair: "In this case, I will ask the leader for instructions today, and I will definitely give you a reply tomorrow, but I hope Mr. Chen will not sign agreements with other platforms before that, okay?

"

"Yes, Manager Zhang Jingyan of the Procurement Department of Huanshi.com called me last night to ask for a discussion."

"We prefer to sign an exclusive copyright agreement."

"Of course, the actors I invited are all pillars of the May Day Theater. Do you think they can be used for free?"

"right."

…

But Chen Jingxing has no qualifications in the film and television industry and no relevant connections. It would be a dream to let an actor with acting skills appear for free.

Zhang Jingyan did not say that the movie was brain-burning and suspenseful, or that the background of the story was too simple, which surprised Chen Jingxing, and then he admired it. Although the online video platform is a new force in the film and television industry, it seems that there are still a lot of professional talents.

"I am."

…

"so?"

"..."

"How to divide?"

"The studio doesn't need money?"

After a heated argument.

"Mr. Chen, you are the only director of this movie, right?"

Making movies is his dream, and it is not a means of making a living. Why should he be nervous now that he is already wealthy and free?

While recalling the deposit numbers in his bank card in his mind, he smiled and waved to his old classmate who had not seen him for many years and had a gloomy face: "I'll go over first and treat you to dinner tonight."

Li Yang suspected that his brain was burned out by the bullshit code in the morning, and his reading comprehension ability was seriously damaged. No wonder there is an old saying: Don't take over other people's code.

High heels, da da da.

"...The filming cost of this movie alone was more than five million."

At that time, the spring breeze of art exams had not yet reached Chen Jingxing’s hometown, a small fourth- and fifth-tier city.

In high school, the relationship between Chen Jingxing and Li Yang was basically a replica of the relationship between their mothers of the previous generation.

Chen Jingxing tugged on the somewhat tight tie around his neck. The suit was custom-made and it fit fairly well, but the tie didn't quite fit.

Therefore, he has extremely rich experience in film selection and has a very professional understanding of movies and TV series.

"...There is one last little question, um... Mr. Chen is not a student who is good at sports, but a student who is good at art."

Chen Jingxing is making a movie? Why didn’t my mother tell me?

"..."

Li Yang recalled the conversation between the two in his mind.

"How about 4.5 million? I'll give you 500,000."

In fact, they are not familiar with each other.

"..."

"After four years of hard work, I have accepted the fact that I have no talent in mathematics. It is not easy for our country to develop basic subjects, so I will not cheat the country's scientific research funds, so I made a movie and prepared to sell it.

To the fantasy world."

It's definitely not because of nervousness.

"In terms of completion, "Comet" not only surpasses most online movies, but is even far inferior to many theater movies. Some of the movies shown on the screen now are at best a large sketch or composed of jokes.

Thousand-layer cake, let alone a so-called variety show movie."

"?"

"How about a million?"

"A dream? Well, it's still early. This is the first step in a long journey of thousands of miles."

"You asked."

"I don't object to exclusive copyrights, as long as the price is right."

“The total salary of the May Day Theater’s main actors in the film is five million?”

"If it weren't for this movie, I wouldn't have bought this house. I like high-rise buildings and large flat floors."

Chen Jingxing knew what the other party meant as soon as he heard it.

"Have you graduated from the Beijing-Tianjin Academy of Film Arts?"

"Yes."

"This is not a compliment, I'm just telling the truth."

Chen Jingxing was furious. Although the university he went to was not Mizuki University or Peking University, it was one of the ten top 3 universities after top 2. It was because of his ability to comfort himself after having the Shenhao system that he had zero capital.

reliance.

You cannot allow someone to slander your status as a top student like this.

"Mr. Zhang, I am a genuine undergraduate graduate from the Capital Normal University. Do you need me to show you my graduation certificate and degree certificate?"

"...Can I get it?"
