Chapter 353 Shen Xudong in the Eyes of Others
Currently, there are only three companies in the Mainland that have the capital to make movies, and they are doing pretty well: Huayi, Bona and Star America...
Oh, Tang Ren should be counted too!
That’s four…
New pictures don't count, that's Ah Mou's film studio. It has been established for so many years and has been relying on Ah Mou to dominate the world. If you are really capable, why don't you invest in other filmmakers?
Ahem...
Xingmei is rich, after all, money in heaven and earth is counted by the second!
This is also the problem.
Who knows if the money is clean or not?
Will there be any side effects after using it?
So, it’s better to say goodbye…
Shen Xudong probably knows a little bit about his reputation - it has reached the point where it can become a perfect money laundering tool!
The more this happens, the more cautious you should be...
In the entertainment industry, the most important thing is not talent or connections, but... don't break the law, don't get involved in illegal activities, everyone!
…
In later generations, investors often said that the film industry was in deep water and it was always their own people who made money.
It is not unreasonable for the big guys to express such emotion, because this is indeed the case in the film industry.
First-hand resources are the most reliable, and first-hand trading is the most profitable.
However, to get the "first hand" is not just as simple as having contact information, but also having "connections", because most of the time "connections" are also based on interests.
Xingmei’s Qin Hong is one of our own.
In the film industry, bosses who can make money must have "friendship" with creators, and friendship comes from sharing weal and woe.
Qin Hong later did Jiaying and became the first producer of works by Chen Kexin and Xu Anhua, also because of their friendship.
This friendship is established at this stage!
Like Bona, he is bound to Hong Kong filmmakers, especially Chen Kexin - starting from "If Love", after that, Tan Hong can be seen in almost all movies related to Chen Kexin, even Mrs. Chen Kexin Sandra Ng's work, Qin Hong also participated...
Yes, SMI is a company whose main creative body is Hong Kong filmmakers.
Probably because they feel that Lu Chuan, Wang Xiaoshuai and the like are not reliable!
Coming back, Xingmei’s handicap is huge.
To put it simply, the stardom of Xingmei's artists is no less than that of Huayi.
Xingmei Management, headed by Chang Jihong, has made many new film and television talents popular. Wang Luodan, Liu Ye, Huang Xuan, Jiang Wenli, Li Xiaoran, etc. were all artists under Xingmei.
Last year, Qin Hong didn't pay much attention to Shen Xudong...
What about the three major writers born in the 1980s?
What about the new martial arts helmsman?
Are there any movies for sale?
Not even a director!
So, although I bought "Sword Rain", I also picked up a horror movie script, which is to make friends...
You don’t have to pay too much anyway.
In just six months, things have changed!
Shen Xudong is already a cash cow in the industry...
"Yin Yang Town" has become a project with an estimated box office of 40 million!
So Qin Hong personally invited him...
The purpose is very clear, to win over!
In order to show sincerity, I even called Chen Kexin...
…
"Of course I know Shen Xudong, a very powerful young man. His works are already guaranteed to be blockbusters. Jiahe's "Cruel Streets" is said to have a very good internal screening effect..."
Chen Kexin briefly talked about what she knew about Shen Xudong...
Qin Hong was a little worried: "I'm afraid such a young man has a bit of a personality..."
Chen Kexin nodded: "Well, he does have character. I heard that his relationship with Du Qifeng broke down because of a trivial matter, and the agreed script was not given to him!"
"Du Qifeng?"
"Yes…"
Tan Hong was even more worried, even Du Qifeng looked down on him.
The news that Shen Xudong and Johnnie To have broken up may not be known to the outside world, but the news has still been received within the Hong Kong circle...
Everyone... I don’t have any opinions. Galaxy Impression is just a company. Johnnie To’s attitude cannot influence the Hong Kong film and television industry. Otherwise, he has boycotted the Academy Awards for more than ten years, and the Academy Awards will still be held!
Let's put it this way, Chen Musheng and Lin Lingdong still keep in touch with Shen Xudong...
After thinking about it, Qin Hong said: "Then are there any rumors about what he likes?"
The general manager of the production department sitting next to him answered quickly: "I like money!"
"Um?"
"I heard that in "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and "The Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter", his income was 8% of the total income...including the following dramas, all of which were 10%..."
Chen Kexin praised: "...This is the trust in one's ability and the unwillingness to accept a fixed salary!"
"I heard that Tang Ren originally offered 300,000 yuan. He thought it was too little, so he signed an account sharing agreement..."
"Then you still have confidence in your abilities!"
Chen Kexin admires Shen Xudong very much...
I think this person has a precise vision and is very suitable for making movies!
Qin Hong nodded: "If you like money, it's easy. We will give him 15% of the screenwriting share of "Yin Yang Town"!"
The production manager was anxious: "This is against the rules!"
"What are the rules and regulations? This is called buying horse bones for a thousand dollars! He is now a new star in the BJ movie circle. Just write a book and there will be a bunch of people rushing to get it... If we don't pay anything, why should we ask him to be used by us? Ok, deal!"
“…”
Chen Kexin smoothed things over: "Let's talk about it when we meet..."
…
In the car, Gao Fenfen warned Shen Xudong: "When we meet Mr. Qin Hong later, we must be more respectful!"
"Why Qin Hong and Qin Hui?"
Gao Fenfen shook his head: "I don't know. I heard that he was in Hong Kong recently..."
Shen Xudong answered casually: "This is about dealing with heaven and earth!"
"…deal with?"
"The boss of a media company is running a nightclub behind his back. How unpleasant it would be if word spread!"
There is the Prince Hotel in the south, and the Heaven and Earth in the north...
Everyone knows what kind of place this thing is!
If there is no exposure, that's fine, but when the Qin brothers run a media group, the most important thing is exposure. It's like putting themselves on the fire, so it's impossible not to be exposed...
Normal people know that contact must be cut quickly...
Qin Hui is no exception!
Gao Fenfen nodded seriously: "What you said makes sense...and that Tan Hui is also restless. There were even scandals with Li Jiaxin last year!"
"Li Jiaxin...she really has no vision!"
"how to say?"
"I can see that domestic entertainment is about to become popular. If someone like her continues to stay in the industry, she can easily earn millions a month... Why do she have to marry into a wealthy family?"
Gao Fenfen had a different opinion: "Artists eat the food of youth, and she is no longer young..."
"...Okay, you are right!"
Shen Xudong was too lazy to discuss this with her...
After all, no one knows now that in the future, a well-known artist will earn a million a month just for fun, and the top ones can even earn 208 a day!
Gao Fenfen changed the subject: "Can your "Yin Yang Town" be a big hit?"
"have no idea…"
"have no idea?"
"How do I know what Qiu Litao will do..."
Gao Fenfen: "Then you should have a rough estimate in mind... By the way, Chen Kexin is here too!"
"…who?"
"Chen Kexin...don't you like "Sweet Honey" very much?"
"...Chen Kexin and Xing Mei are getting together?"
"His "If Love" cost 10 million U.S. dollars. It's a musical. Who would invest in it except Star America?"
