Chapter 922 The 500 Million Investment TV Series of "Topic Queen" Is Freshly Released!

When Chen Fei arrived at the premiere of "Skiptrace", the first thing he saw was Fan Bingbing, who was "outshining all the beauties" in the crowd.

With the official start of the summer vacation, Fan Bingbing's popularity has reached its peak this month!

"Skiptrace" on the 21st and "Legend of the Gods" on the 29th, two big-budget movies in a row, directly made her the hottest "topic queen" at the moment.

And more importantly, in addition to these two movies, there is also a main theme blockbuster "Sky Hunter" that will be marketed from time to time.

This has led to her popularity soaring again and again, successfully suppressing the other five of the four Dan and Shuang Bing.

In addition to these, she is also actively participating in various "hot" events.

For example, Huo Jianhua and Ziwei Gege's wedding.

The couple is urgently preparing for the wedding, and Fan Bingbing suddenly revealed to the public that he has become Ziwei Gege's "military advisor" and will help her choose a wedding dress.

For a time, the online discussion was heated again!

You know, the TV series "My Fair Princess" 18 years ago successively brought out three popular first-line actresses, Zhao Yanzi, Ziwei Gege, and Fan Bingbing.

Until now, there are still many netizens looking forward to the three of them reuniting.

And this time, once the news that Fan Bingbing served as a "military advisor" to choose a wedding dress for Ziwei Gege was exposed, it immediately aroused many people's memories and nostalgia.

With the continuous blessing of wave after wave of popularity, she is almost pushed to the sky!

Other female stars in the circle naturally couldn't hide their envy and jealousy, but for a while there was no strategy to target her, so they had to quietly wait for the right time to try to knock her down with one blow!

"Director Chen, hahaha, welcome, welcome to the premiere of "Skiptrace", it's a great honor..."

As soon as Chen Fei entered the venue, Chen Long greeted him with a smile.

After hugging him, Chen Fei smiled and said, "I wish you a big box office success in advance."

"Okay, okay! I wish you good luck, haha."

The two exchanged greetings for a while, and because Chen Long had other people to receive, he said goodbye and left.

As soon as he left, other filmmakers came over.

"Director Chen, I heard that you are going to win an award again?" Huang Xiaoming asked curiously.

Yang Ying, who had been following him, could not hide her envy and admiration, secretly fantasizing in her heart that it would be great if she could work with Chen Fei once.

"Yes, that's right, I plan to go to this year's Venice International Film Festival to have fun." This is no longer a secret, and Chen Fei simply did not continue to hide it.

While answering, he asked back: "I heard that your "Splendid Destiny"..."

"It's already half-ruined." Huang Xiaoming smiled bitterly: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have asked Park Shin Hye to play the leading role."

As soon as the ban on South Korea came out, all South Korean capital, actors, and idol artists had to be driven back in disgrace.

And film and television works like "Splendid Destiny" starring, produced, and participated in the investment of Huang Xiaoming, which involved South Korean artists, were naturally scrapped.

"Can't you change the role and reshoot?"

While speaking, Chen Fei also glanced at Yang Ying next to him.

Although she managed her body well, her slightly bulging belly could no longer be covered by a dress because it was too obvious.

"There is no plan to reshoot the film with a new cast for the time being." Huang Xiaoming shook his head and explained briefly: "The post-production has been completed, and the cost of reshooting with a new cast is too high.

I plan to put this project on hold for a while to see if there are other opportunities later."

After chatting for a while, Huang Xiaoming took Yang Ying to another place.

While greeting other people in the circle, Chen Fei walked to the front row and prepared to find a place to rest.

But at this moment, Ren Zhonglun, who came out of nowhere, suddenly stopped him.

"Chen Fei, let's find a place to talk?"

"Mr. Ren, you are really like a plaster? You stick to me as soon as we meet."

When Chen Fei saw Ren Zhonglun, he couldn't help but have a headache.

It has been spread in the capital circle these days that the listing application materials of Shanghai Film and China Film have been reviewed and approved, and the official listing time is not far away.

So, taking advantage of this last period of time, both La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun started the final "clique formation" and "absorbed" small shareholders everywhere, which was a big deal.

The "top shareholder" of Shanghai Film Group is Chen Long and his Yaolai Films, which has been sparing no effort to help Shanghai Film Group as an introducer.

As for China Film Group, perhaps because it is too "arrogant", it did not introduce an introducer.

But relying on the strong background of China Film Group, many people chose La Peikang.

Both parties have passed on the message to Chen Fei, but he was afraid to avoid it and did not come forward at all.

But I never thought that I would be blocked by Ren Zhonglun again today.

"Think about it carefully. If you join the lineup of Shanghai Film Group... Let me give you an example. If there is any problem on your side in the future, I can persuade the upper level to come forward to protect you..."

Ren Zhonglun seemed to be in a slow and persuasive manner, trying to persuade Chen Fei.

If he could be successfully tied to the lineup of Shanghai Film Studio, this would be a more dazzling banner than Chen Long!

However, Chen Fei was not tempted by his temptation at all, but became more vigilant.

Ren Zhonglun obviously said this not only to him. If nothing unexpected happens, every shareholder who joined the company has probably heard this from him.

It is true that state-owned enterprises can settle things, but who can guarantee that things that have been settled will not break out again?

If they become a community of interests, will they be accused of "collusion" in the future?

Thinking of this, Chen Fei became more vigilant.

"Mr. Ren, first of all, thank you for your kindness, but I really have no interest in this kind of thing, and please don't mention it again in the future."

Seeing that Chen Fei insisted on not joining Shanghai Film, Ren Zhonglun was helpless: "Alas! You are the same, why don't you agree to such a good thing."

"Because I can ensure that I am clean, and at the same time, I can ensure that no one dares to attack me."

"Otherwise, you can also let your Longxiang Capital..."

"Mr. Ren, let's stop this topic here. Longxiang Capital will not participate in any state-owned enterprise investment."

Ren Zhonglun: "..."

Although no one heard the content of the conversation between the two, the behavior of the conversation fell into the eyes of many people.

For example, La Peikang has been paying attention to the conversation between Chen Fei and Ren Zhonglun.

Seeing the latter sighing non-stop, he curled his lips and said disdainfully: "This Ren Zhonglun, he still thinks he is so awesome, but he was rejected?"

Hearing this, the secretary next to him said: "The conditions that Shanghai Film can give, we can also give at China Film, but the conditions that we can give may not be available at Shanghai Film!"

La Peikang was very satisfied with this sentence, because this was also his idea.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of another thing: "By the way, how is the communication with Feiyinghuang Agency going? We should focus on recruiting first-tier actors, forget about the second-tier and third-tier ones."

The secretary's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he reminded in a low voice: "In recent years, almost all the first-tier actors whose contracts have expired have gone out to open studios.

I arranged for people to find Wang Baoqiang, Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Zhao Liying and others. A small number of them agreed to our invitation, but most of them expressed no interest."

"Huh?" La Peikang frowned slightly, and his tone unconsciously raised a little: "The first-tier ones have gone out to open studios? When did this situation start?"

"It started after you took office, and there have been more in the past two years. Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Yi, Zhao Liying, Shu Chang and other contracted artists all left last year and this year."

Hearing this, La Peikang was silent.

Because the Feiyinghuang Agency project was a political achievement when Han Sanping was in office, he didn't care about it after he took office.

At first, whenever China Film invested in a new film project, he would instruct people to give priority to artists from Feiyinghuang Agency.

But after the first year, he completely forgot about the agency and chose actors and artists who were helpful to his political achievements.

In the end, he didn't even look at the business of the agency.

If China Film was not about to go public, he wanted to tie more people to his ship, and he even forgot that there was a business like Feiyinghuang Agency under China Film.

"It seems that he was ready to cut off from me early!"

La Peikang muttered to himself, feeling inexplicably complicated.

...

"Skiptrace" will be released on the 21st, and "Tang Detective 2" will be released on the 29th, with at least a week between the two.

Although this means that the two sides are still competitors, the competition does not seem to be that great.

Therefore, Chen Fei did not attach so much importance to this movie.

When watching the movie, he looked at the movie purely from the perspective of an ordinary audience.

The film mainly tells the story of a Hong Kong policeman, Chan Kong-sang, who was caught in a trap while trying to track down the criminal evidence of a gangster boss. On the way, he formed a partnership with Connor, a sly gambler who was being hunted by many parties, and the two started an adventurous escape journey together.

Overall, although the plot of the movie is a bit thin and monotonous, it gives a lot of space to action scenes and funny lines.

It can be seen that the story of this movie is not the main part of the movie, but the foil. The main elements of the movie are actually Chen Long's fighting and action scenes.

However, in terms of action, "Skiptrace" is actually an aging and low-profile version of Chen Long's movie, but because of this, the configuration of the movie in terms of special effects, production, and scenes is not low.

But the most entertaining part still comes from the action design of Chen Long and the Cheng family team.

Any prop in a scene, such as benches, tables, watermelons, Russian dolls, old popcorn machines, etc., can be incorporated into the action scene, and then become a laugh or excitement point, which is also a unique selling point.

After the premiere, in order to avoid being pestered by Ren Zhonglun, Chen Fei did not attend the subsequent banquet, but found an excuse to leave.

In the afternoon, the news releases about the premiere of "Skiptrace" on the Internet poured out like a gusher and began to flood the screen.

Chen Fei did not pay attention to these, but returned to the company to discuss the content of the "Hong Kong囧" script with Ning Hao and Wang Baoqiang.

They were busy until 7 o'clock in the evening, and the three of them finally read the entire script from beginning to end.

Finally, Chen Fei personally decided on the final draft.

"Okay, let's just go with this version; Baoqiang, when you go back, correct all the small details we picked out this afternoon, and then send it to the General Administration for review."

"Okay, thank you Director Chen, thank you Director Ning, thank you for your help, encouragement and support during this period, I will never forget it in my life..."

Wang Baoqiang kept thanking the two, his tone full of sincerity and gratitude!

He thought that his dream of being a director would definitely not succeed, but he never thought that Chen Fei and Ning Hao would support him so much, almost guiding him hand in hand!

Chen Fei smiled and joked: "There's no need to say thank you, just work hard to make the movie well, don't let me lose money."

"No, no, I will do my best..."

Ning Hao reached out and put his arm around Wang Baoqiang's shoulders, shouting: "Haha, let's go, let's go drink, we won't go home until we're drunk tonight!"

...

The next morning, the entire entertainment, Internet, and financial circles' capital attention was almost focused on the shareholders' meeting held by Weibo.

There were quite a few media and investors who were present in person.

Many people have been looking forward to it early, and they don’t know if there will be new changes or incidents in the future after this incident on Weibo?

However, the attention of ordinary netizens is now focused on several new hot searches on Weibo.

“This morning, the large-scale historical costume TV series "Win the World", which is controlled by Tangde Pictures, co-produced by Ameishen Pictures, Mango Tianyu, and Evergrande Pictures, and invested up to 500 million yuan, was officially announced!”

“It is reported that Fan Bingbing, chairman of Ameishen Pictures, will serve as the producer and producer of the show, and will serve as the female lead Ba Qing in the show. As a weak woman, she will step into the upper class of the Qin Dynasty step by step, and finally achieve a legendary life...”

“According to the announcement released by Tangde Pictures and Ameishen Pictures, "Win the World" has completed all casting work, and actors Gao Yunxiang, Yan Yi Hip, Ma Su, Zhang Guoli, Guo Pinchao, Pan Yingzi, Xu Fan, Pan Hong, Xie Yilin and others will partner with Fan Bingbing to star in the drama. "

"Win the World" is created by the main creative team of "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang", interpreting the grand pattern of Qin Dynasty history from the perspective of Ba Qing women."

"In the main creative lineup of "Win the World", the mix of powerful big names and idol newcomers is refreshing. Director Gao Yijun said: Casting is not only about face, but also about "play." "

On the way to ByteDance, Chen Fei also noticed the news that "Win the World" was announced.

Many netizens are paying attention to the starring lineup of this TV series, and at the same time congratulating Fan Bingbing for winning another big production role.

But Chen Fei focused on the investment amount of this TV series.

It's just a TV series, but it has a budget of 500 million yuan. This is too outrageous!

If you don't know, you might think it's a special effects blockbuster!

You know, when he invested in the filming of "Game of Thrones" in Hollywood, the budget for each season was only 70 million US dollars.

Even if this 70 million US dollars is converted into RMB, it does not exceed 500 million RMB.

But a costume TV series like "Win the World" actually made a budget of 500 million, which is simply too exaggerated!

"Is this going to learn from Chen Kexin's operation? Enrich yourself? Or wash the dirty things clean?"

Chen Fei muttered to himself, and his mind couldn't help but recall the various "sexy operations" on the small screen in recent days.

After the ratings and online platform clicks of "Undocumented Crime" and "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" soared again and again, many investors suddenly couldn't sit still.

The most popular one at present is Guo Xiaosi's "Fantasy City".

This drama not only brings together a group of traffic stars such as Feng Shaofeng, Song Qian, Ma Tianyu, Zhang Meng, and Jin Xishan, but also shouts out the slogan of creating a "fantasy masterpiece", which can be said to be coming with great momentum!

There is also the "Half-Demon Allure" invested by Yu Zheng, which is currently being screened.

This drama also uses the slogan of "fantasy", and at the same time, it also copied "Love O2O", which has caused a large number of netizens to angrily denounce the "dead girl" for being shameless!

Finally, there is "Nine Continents Sky City" adapted from a well-known IP.

The producer behind this drama is Tencent, and Huanrui Century is also involved, as well as the hottest traffic star in recent years, Li Yifeng, as well as child star Guan Xiaotong and 4,000-year-old beauty Ju Jingwei...

Several companies have been fighting fiercely in terms of publicity recently, and from time to time they will shout slogans to break the record of "The Journey of Flower", which can be said to be all kinds of copycats.

If it weren't for the "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" produced by Alibaba Pictures, Chen Fei would have used "Princess Agents" to suppress them.

However, no matter how hard they try, no one dares to shout slogans like "investing 500 million" in a TV series.

You know, even for costume TV series and movies like "The Journey of Flower" and "Zhu Xian", which are very expensive in special effects, Feiyue Film and Television did not spend more than 200 million.

So, Chen Fei really couldn't imagine how "Win the World" spent 500 million?

All he could imagine was that the props were tampered with, such as a straw hat costing thousands of dollars.

However, Wang Zhonglei, who was well versed in this, looked at the project draft of "Win the World" and the investment amount of 500 million, but just curled his lips, as if he was already used to it.

"Haha, this is a trick I've played out many times, how did you guys just come up with it?"

While muttering to himself, he looked at the two actor salary contracts on the desk.

One of them showed a salary of 30 million, while the other showed 20 million.

If you look closely, you can find that the names on the two contracts are the same, including the project name!

Except for the different salaries, everything else is exactly the same!

"Hehe, one yin, one yang, and the difference is in my pocket. As long as the project is good, there is no end to the leeks..."

(ps: Second update, please give me a monthly ticket!!!)
