Chapter 77 Senior Sister Xu (Second update)

The time has come to December 24th, and the premiere of "Party A and Party B" will be held today.

The driver stood guard outside for more than thirty minutes, arranging several cigarette butts thrown on the ground in a circle, looking a little bored.

The roar of the engine stopped suddenly, and the car stopped vibrating.

Not long after, Qi Wei helped each other sort out their clothes. Satisfied, Qi Wei pulled Yan Danchen, who still had a rosy face, out of the car and walked out.

The premiere of the movie "Party A and Party B" was held at the CPPCC Auditorium.

"Wow! So many people are here!" Yan Danchen, who was holding Qi Wei's arm, looked at the crowd at the main entrance of the auditorium and was slightly surprised.

"This is a movie that Mr. Han has high hopes for, and the publicity battle is not small at all."

Qi Wei chuckled, "Don't look at it, we are not the protagonists, we can only go through the side door."

The main entrance is reserved for the main creative staff, whether it is Qi Wei or Yan Danchen. They are still small celebrities in the film and television industry, so naturally they can only enter through the side door.

"That's Qi Wei!"

When Qi Wei was holding Yan Danchen and preparing to enter through the side door, some sharp-eyed people in the audience who stopped at the outer door recognized Qi Wei and shouted. They all looked sideways this way. Many people looked towards Qi Wei.

Come running.

Helpless, Qi Wei could only step forward to deal with the wave.

After signing autographs, shaking hands, and joking with some nice words, it took more than ten minutes for Qi Wei to finish.

"How did I know that I still have so many fans here? Being famous is troublesome..." Qi Wei said with a smile as he returned to Yan Danchen.

"You just have to do it!" Yan Danchen gave Qi Wei a contemptuous look, and felt very happy for Qi Wei. With a smile like a flower, he held Qi Wei's arm and went in through the side door.

Many guests have already arrived at the scene, and Han Sanping and the crew are entertaining them.

Seeing Han Sanping, Qi Wei took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello, Mr. Han."

"You're here, I look familiar. Who is your beautiful female companion?"

"My girlfriend from Nortel, Yan Danchen, once filmed the movie "Flower Season and Rainy Season"..."

"Young people are full of energy. It seems that your relationship is very good..."

Mr. Han saw it right away and burst into laughter.

Yan Danchen grabbed Qi Wei's arm and his ears turned red with embarrassment.

Mr. Han continued: ""Flower Season and Rainy Season", oh, I remembered this movie. This movie seems to have been shortlisted for this year's Huabiao Awards. Maybe there will be some surprises..."

Qi Wei immediately understood that it seemed that Yan Danchen was a sure winner as the best newcomer. He quickly pulled Yan Danchen to thank him and said, "You need to pay more attention to Mr. Han."

Mr. Han smiled and said nothing, letting Qi Wei follow and get to know people.

"This is Mr. Zhang Heping, the general manager of Forbidden City Film Company."

After Mr. Han introduced him, Qi Wei pretended to be very surprised, held the bag in his hand and said flattered:

"It's a great honor to meet you. I really like the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" and "Enjoyable" that you organized and created. I don't know how many times I have watched it."

Seeing Qi Wei's humble and polite look, Zhang Heping said with a smile: "Young people are very good at talking. Your records are selling like crazy. You are also young and promising. I heard that you are interested in going to the film and television industry. I have a guy here.

I wonder if you are interested in the project?"

"What project?" Qi Wei asked curiously.

""Red Lover", starring Zhang Guorong, is currently being filmed and is currently still accepting investment."

"."

When Qi Wei heard the name of the movie "Red Lovers", he was immediately not interested.

It's not that Qi Wei thinks this movie is bad, it's a classic, it's just that it's a scam.

Qi Wei remembers that for the movie "Red Lovers", the originally agreed-upon shooting budget was 6 million, and this investment was provided by Forbidden City Pictures.

But later, after his brother Zhang Guorong joined, this investment amount was not enough, so he added several million more investments.

The increased investment was approved by the director and investors, but once the movie started shooting, the cost suddenly increased significantly.

It is a continuous increase in investment. So far, the investment in this film has exceeded 25 million.

This also resulted in Forbidden City Pictures' funds almost drying up.

But the movie hasn't been finished yet, and post-production will cost at least several million.

But the Forbidden City Pictures was in trouble and had to go outside to find money.

Why is this happening? There is naturally something fishy about it, because the production team of this movie is really ugly.

A straw hat costing several thousand yuan, with unclear accounts, and defrauding investors of their money is not just a patent of the Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television circles.

People in the mainland film industry are also professional when it comes to tricking others, and they are not merciless when trying to trick their own people.

This is also a very important reason why Qi Wei is cautious in the film and television industry.

Unsurprisingly, the investment in this film will definitely be upwards of 30 million. Considering the current mainland film market, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking to recover the cost.

Totally impossible.

As for the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even overseas, forget it, this kind of red-themed movie has basically no market outside the mainland.

Forbidden City Pictures is currently in a difficult situation. If we don’t continue to invest money, our previous investment will be in vain. We can only bite the bullet and continue.

It was obvious that he was looking for an enemy to share the losses, so Qi Wei was naturally unwilling to be the enemy.

So Qi Wei declined politely: "I am very interested in this movie. Leslie Cheung is a star that I like very much, but I am about to start making my second album. I don't have the funds or the time to invest in other movies and TV series. I have too much energy and energy.

It’s a pity.”

"It doesn't matter. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Zhang Heping just tried his luck and did not force it.

"I also hope that we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future." Qi Wei said politely.

I thought to myself that luckily the movie "Red Lover" had wiped out the funds of your Forbidden City Pictures, so I was given the opportunity to invest in "Party A and Party B".

You must know that the Forbidden City is also one of the investors of "Party A and Party B". Under normal circumstances with sufficient funds, it will definitely be able to make up for the funding gap of "Party A and Party B" of more than 2 million.

Accompanying Third Master Han to get to know a few people, Qi Wei saw Ge You chatting and laughing with a few people, so after saying goodbye, he took Yan Danchen and walked towards Ge You.

As soon as he saw Qi Wei, Ge You introduced his friends to Qi Wei.

"This is Qi Wei, who is this?" Ge You pointed at Yan Danchen and asked.

"My girlfriend Yan Danchen, I know these two famous names very well, I don't need you to introduce them, Uncle Ge."

Then Qi Wei smiled and reached out to someone, "Senior Jiang Wen, I really like the movie "Brilliant Days" directed by you. I have watched it so many times that I can't even remember it, and I still haven't finished it."

"Oh?" After shaking hands, Jiang Wen looked at Qi Wei with a smile and said, "I heard, who blamed me for the box office failure of "Song of Qin"?"

"He said it, he said it." Ge You on the side pointed at Qi Wei and said "betray" directly, and burst into laughter.

"This is spreading rumors. I said this movie was a non-war crime and a human fault. It's none of your business that it flopped at the box office."

The movie "Qin Song" stars the three people in front of me.

The production cost of this movie is as high as 40 million. In this era, it is considered a rare high-investment blockbuster in the mainland.

Many people had high hopes for this movie, but the movie had an ill-fated fate after it was released. It was banned and then withdrawn within four days of its release in the mainland. The unwilling investors and producers took the main creative staff to Hong Kong for release.

.

However, the subject matter of this movie is not interesting to Hong Kong people, and with an all-mainland cast, it would be damned if it could achieve high box office in Hong Kong.

There were no surprises. After the film was released in Hong Kong, no one cared about it and the box office was dismal.

The movie "Song of Qin" cost the investors all their money.

"Screwing up" such a high-investment movie will have a great impact on the career of its leading actor.

Otherwise, Ge You wouldn't have turned back from movies and filmed the TV series "Kou Lao Xi'er", while Jiang Wen is seeking investment in preparation for a movie that he will direct and star in.

Of course, it is not the two of them that have the greatest impact, but the other one.

"I didn't expect my junior brother to see it so clearly. Finally, I have someone willing to speak for me." At this time, the sexy and voluptuous woman next to me sighed.

Qi Wei looked at her, his eyes were passionate and bold, and his smile had a signature dimple, which made people feel a little moved.

"Nice to meet you, Senior Sister Xu Qing!" Qi Wei took the initiative and stretched out his hand towards her.

"Me too."

The woman smiled beautifully. When shaking hands, her slender and soft fingers lightly scratched Qi Wei's palm.

Yan Danchen was holding her arm beside her. She was really bold.
