Shenhao who plays around the world

Chapter 207 Audition

Before Lin Shen left, he specifically told Zhou Yi.

In the subsequent online variety shows that Dousha will make, Zhou Shuyi and others will have fixed guest quotas.

You know, it is a variety show that is continuously played on the homepage and will also be put on other platforms with a lot of budget for publicity.

It can even be said that the invited guests of this kind of program are already very close to variety show stars in the entertainment industry.

Although domestic entertainment variety show stars are at the bottom of the contempt chain.

But no matter what, he is still a star!

It is true that top Internet celebrities earn much more than third- and fourth-tier stars.

But speaking of it, the appearance is different.

It is possible for female celebrities to marry well.

Female Internet celebrities are destined to be playthings.

Returning to Shanghai, teasing a few little ones, feeding everyone at home, life is wonderful.

Yang Mi has now completely retired from the spotlight and appears in public, that is, going shopping with her good friends, or going out to walk or pick up her children.

Although Lin Shen didn't care about other people's opinions and comments, Yang Mi didn't want to make it difficult for Lin Shen in this regard.

The family has so much money that they will never spend it all in a lifetime.

Filming?

For her, it was already a bit boring.

In a place like the entertainment industry, updates and iterations are incredibly fast.

Even if you don't stop making movies and don't have any works for two consecutive years, people will gradually forget you.

Yang Mi is retiring and Reba is about to give birth. She has lost two top players all at once. The pressure on Zhongxia is really quite big.

Fortunately, Forest Film Group has a big business and has no shortage of backup forces to support them.

Which graduate of the three major film and television schools does not desire to be favored by Forestry Pictures and embark on a road of success?

When it comes to film and television production, other companies in the industry are far behind.

Forest Pictures has ten directors of Feng Pants' level.

There is also Jiang Ye who is on the same level as Kashen and Nolan.

Other film and television companies are not even worthy of supporting Forest Films.

Even if they can drink some soup with Forest Pictures, they are already grateful.

For more than a year, Jiang Ye's main energy has been spent on wandering the earth.

He selected the artist who best suited the character's personality, took up to a year to shoot before and after, customized over 10,000 pieces of various props, and built several studios according to his ideas.

For the filming budget alone, Lin Shen approved 500 million.

Compared with the original version of 320 million, it is much more generous, and the details are naturally more refined.

As for the leading actors, naturally they won't be criticized for their acting skills like before.

Lin Shen didn't have much else but talent recruitment papers.

I took out 3 outstanding employee recruitment papers and just recruited a middle-aged actor Wen Bin who is suitable for tough guy themes, and two young and beautiful actresses Xia Qi and Zhang Anjin.

Excellent acting skills are enough to ensure that they all have the ability to be a Golden Horse Best Actor and Best Actress.

This kind of configuration is still done by our own artists.

Even after a year of filming, I still have no complaints.

Lin Shen used his level 9 system privileges and spent only 32 million to have all the film and television materials of "The Wandering Earth" harmonized.

Even the copyright of "The Wandering Earth" was generously awarded to him by the system.

With the original successful template, Lin Shen naturally did not worry about Jiang Ye losing money.

Referring to the results of the original version, plus Lin Shen also has a Xingyi Cinema line.

Even if the movie theaters under his name increase the film schedule for "Traffic Earth" to 100%, others can only condemn it and have nothing to do with him.

5 billion is the goal Lin Shen set for Jiang Ye.

In today's bleak situation in the film and television industry, being able to deliver an astonishing box office performance of 5 billion is enough for Jiang Ye to sustain himself for several years.

What's more, Forest Pictures still has distribution capabilities.

With two media promotion platforms, Weibo and Happy Planet, how can you fight them with a film released at the same time?

…

With a box office of 5 billion, it can only be released during the Spring Festival.

It is not uncommon for a super blockbuster to take two years from preparation to release.

Since obtaining the theater license, Xingyi Cinemas has accelerated its efforts to expand its footprint across the country.

With Guanhai Group as its backing, it needs money and people.

In one year, Xingyi Cinemas added 172 cinemas in the country, bringing its cinemas to just 300, with a total number of screens reaching 2,400.

In terms of average box office, Xingyi Cinema was second only to Wanda’s 8.57 million, but also reached 6.8 million, twice that of Jinyi, Hengdian, Happy Blue Ocean and other theaters.

As for these movie theaters, only three are Wanda, UME and Xingyi that can be considered luxurious in decoration.

The decorations of other theater chains are too old-fashioned and do not meet the aesthetics of young consumers.

Either the equipment is too stretched, and many equipment that should have been replaced long ago are still reluctant to be replaced.

Under normal circumstances, these 300 movie theaters can contribute 2.1 billion in box office.

What concept?

Among the top ten theater chains in mainland China, it is enough to rank among the top six.

Even Hengdian Film and Television, which had previously wanted to acquire Xingyi Film and Television, would be left far behind.

However, investment in theaters has always had a low return on investment.

Xingyi Cinema has a top-notch budget of RMB 20,000 per seat.

The average investment in a single movie theater is as high as 24 million.

The 172 new movie theaters will require a real investment of 4 billion.

This money will naturally be invested in the name of Tangcheng Group.

Recently, Lin Shen used Tangcheng Group as the main body to integrate Forest Pictures and Lemon Films.

The profits from the latter two are used to support the bottomless pit of Tangcheng Group.

When Tangcheng Group gains momentum, it will buck the trend and feed the latter two.

With the drag of Tangcheng, Forest Pictures and Lemon Pictures would have been able to easily make profits, but now they have no hope of doing so.

This 4 billion can be easily obtained by Forestry Pictures alone.

Who makes the vast majority of lemon film and television content purchase orders fall on them every year?

Calculated based on 15 billion, they can earn at least 90% of the total, and the gross profit is at least 40%, which is 5.4 billion.

Just listening to it is quite scary.

Such terrifying profits are also related to the deep binding between the two companies.

Which Aiyouteng of the same level does not support seven or eight companies?

But at Lemon Films, Forestry Pictures has to digest everything internally.

In addition, the music business incubated internally by Forest Pictures has also officially registered as an independent subsidiary, which is also under the Tangcheng Group.

Orange Music focuses on discovering small but beautiful treasure singles!

Lin Shen had the idea of ​​preparing a music platform a long time ago.

Especially with the huge music copyright purchase fee paid by Happy Planet, Lin Shen's thoughts were further strengthened.

It has film and television investment privileges, and many OST songs supporting film and television dramas have the potential to break into the industry, which has aroused a lot of popularity.

Earlier, Goose Factory and Pig Factory had a fierce fight over music copyright.

In the end, it was only with the coordination of relevant departments that the two parties granted each other credit and shared more than 99% of the music library.

The 1% of songs that have not been released may seem small in magnitude, but they are the core and key music library.

The price of ordinary songs is not expensive, and both companies are very generous. There is no reason not to kill the powerful Guanhai Group.

But don't even think about real hit songs.

Some high-quality songwriters were even lured over by two companies with high salaries and generous contracts.

In terms of influence on domestic entertainment, the two companies are inferior to Guanhai Group.

But in this world, there will never be a shortage of fools who are blind to money.

Lin Shen was not angry at all. The copyrights for the OST songs produced in the previous films and TV series instantly brought a number of users to Orange Music.

These 1% of songs are produced in a unique way by Orange Music and are not licensed to outsiders. They are exclusive songs.

…

With the completion of Spring and Autumn City, Qin Palace, Ming and Qing Palaces, Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street.

Tangcheng is just like a replica of Hengdian.

Anyone who registers as a group actor in Tangcheng and accepts filming roles no less than ten times a month can receive a rental subsidy of 1,000 yuan.

Moreover, Tangcheng Group will select a group of people from the extras every year and give them some important supporting roles.

When the news came out, everyone was upset.

Isn't it because you came out to be a group performer just to chase the possibility of becoming a star?

Of course, from group performers to stars, only a few can cross this dragon gate.

But as long as hope remains, there will never be a shortage of dream chasers.

Now, Tangcheng Group directly launched a big move and brought out heavyweight supporting roles.

For extras, this is simply more tempting than Pandora’s Box!

Hengdian was dumbfounded for a moment. He never dreamed that Tangcheng would play like this.

But unfortunately, they couldn't imitate it.

In the entertainment industry, the reputation of Forest Film's productions as must-have products has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As for Hengdian, they are just participating in investment in some film and television projects.

In the past, relying on a large crew and occasionally giving out small supporting roles was enough to keep these extras determined not to leave Hengdian.

It has even attracted countless young people with dreams of becoming stars to become members of Hengdiao.

Now it's better, Tangcheng directly provided starring resources that are n times better than theirs.

Even though it was not a male or female lead, even if it was a male lead, it still gave them hope.

A large number of extras left and went to Xiangyang, which naturally caused the original crew to complain endlessly.

Originally, many crew members would rather accept the high rent of the Hengdian studio because there are many extras here and the film and television equipment and scenery are complete.

Now that there is no advantage in the number of extras, Hengdian's cost-effectiveness is greatly reduced.

…

This time, Tangcheng Group specially organized a celebration banquet for Xingyi Film Investment. Except for those who really couldn't leave, no one of the entertainment company executives and celebrities in the circle dared not come to support it.

In the industry, it is okay to offend the director.

But what we must not offend are the controllers behind these theater chains.

Otherwise, people won't show your movie.

Do you think you can bear it?

Not to mention, the current size of Tangcheng is no less than that of Hengdian.

After Tangcheng's attack, Hengdian's status in the world was not as good as before.

Many crew members who originally signed contracts with Hengdian have also switched to Tangcheng.

At the cocktail party, many female celebrities looked at Lin Shen with admiration.

However, Lin Shen was always surrounded by bosses from major companies chatting with him, and he didn't give them any chance to get close.

But there are always a group of ambitious women who can seize hard-won opportunities.

When Lin Shen went to the men's restroom to wash his hands, he saw a familiar female star when he came out.

Wearing a fishtail evening dress with a very low opening, her makeup was very delicate, revealing a pair of crystal clear white legs, and her beautiful eyes stared at him unblinkingly.

"Is something wrong?"

"Director Lin, my name is Sun Yi. I have always admired you. I hope you can give me a chance. I want to show you my acting skills so that I can have more cooperation opportunities with your company."

Sun Yi finished speaking in one breath, feeling very anxious in her heart, wondering what the wealthy chairman of Guanhai Group was thinking.

But she really had no choice. After the divorce, her resources dropped sharply, so she could only rely on variety shows to gain popularity.

But her ex-mother-in-law was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

If she doesn't find a strong backer quickly, she may no longer have a foothold in domestic entertainment in the future.

Lin Shen hugged his shoulders, touched his chin and looked at Sun Yi.

I have to say, this woman has a really good figure.

"Sorry, although I don't care much about your ex-mother-in-law, your value is obviously not enough for me to offend a well-established Beijing agent for you."

Lin Shen is very realistic, and it's not like he doesn't know Sun Yi's dark history.

He came up from a wild model, and now he is pretending to be pitiful with her. She really thinks he is a fool!

Seeing Lin Shen leaving with his bodyguards, Sun Yi was stunned for a moment.

Originally, she had thought that as long as Lin Shen agreed, she would recommend herself as a pillow mat.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shen was not tempted at all.

For a moment, the shock was so great that she was in a daze.

But if she misses this opportunity, she really doesn't know where she can find a sponsor who can convince her ex-mother-in-law and allow her resources to take off.

Except for a few female celebrities in the industry who have made their way on their own, most of them are supported by financial sponsors.

In the early years, the fairy sister was praised by her godfather, which led to her subsequent glory.

Lin Shen's worth, age, and power make him the perfect candidate in Sun Yi's eyes!

It's a pity that they didn't pay attention to her at all.

…

Returning to the banquet hall in despair, Sun Yi couldn't help but smile sadly when she looked at the female celebrities who had been friends with her in the past but now avoided them.

To say where is the most realistic place, it must be the entertainment industry.

Her current situation is extremely dangerous.

Without a backer, her mother-in-law would not be merciful to her.

At this time, Lin Shen, who was being admired by all the stars, made Sun Yi's eyes extremely complicated.

For the first time, I lost confidence in my own charm.

Think about it, who is that person?

Chairman of Guanhai Group!

A super rich man worth hundreds of billions of dollars!

The boss of the largest film and television company in the entertainment industry!

Female celebrities are very attractive to ordinary rich people.

But to Lin Shen, it really means nothing.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Lin Shen is interested, almost no female celebrity can refuse his invitation.

At the dinner, Jiao Weijie, president of Tangcheng Group, also made bold remarks.

In the next three years, Tangcheng Group will build another 1,200 movie theaters in China.

By then, Xingyi Cinemas will have 1,500 cinemas and become the leading cinema chain in the country!

1,200 movie theaters require an investment of at least 29 billion!

If Tangcheng really comes to fruition, the voice of domestic entertainment will definitely have to be readjusted.

Theaters are king, which is different in China and Hollywood.

For a long time, the big six companies with distribution capabilities have tightly controlled theater chains.

Even Wanda, the current leader in cinema chains, only has about 900 cinemas under its umbrella.

Of course, no one doubts the strength of Guanhai Group.

29 billion, which may be very difficult for Tangcheng Group.

But for Guanhai Group, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Regardless, there are many banks willing to provide Guanhai Group with huge low-interest loans.

With no bad assets and excellent profitability, it is naturally the focus of capital pursuit.

As the banquet came to an end, the guests left one after another.

Sun Yi carried her handbag and walked out of the banquet hall with her head lowered.

"Miss Sun, please wait a moment."

When Sun Yi heard someone calling her, she turned around subconsciously.

"This is our boss's business card. If it's convenient, I'll take you to a place. The boss will be there in a minute."

Chen Ji politely handed over a very stylish business card. The black card body was made of refined pure metal from Switzerland and was inlaid with tiny but extremely pure diamonds. The value of a single business card was already more than

$10,000.

Sun Yi instinctively took the business card, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't quite understand what Director Lin meant.

I rejected her before, but now I invite her again.

Is this interesting to her or not?
