Chapter 1020 In China (4)
Just as they were talking about the origin of the name of Jinshu Media, another guest came to Chen Qing and the others. Seeing that the person was a high-level executive from the Radio and Television Department, Chen Qing stretched out her hand and poked on Lin Su next to her. In response, Lin Su He quickly greeted him with a smile: "Good evening, Minister Sun, I didn't expect you to take the time to come here. It's really our honor."
"It is our responsibility to support the country's film industry. Of course we must attend such a grand event," Minister Sun and Lin Su shook hands and laughed again: "It's you, Xiaolin, that Forbes list really wins glory for the country. ."
"Oh, let Minister Sun laugh."
The two chatted warmly for a few words, and Minister Sun finally nodded to Chen Qing, who seemed to be a follower, and turned to go elsewhere.
Then he was the leader of several state-owned film and television production companies such as China Film.
Finally, it was the turn of the big names in the Chinese film and television circle.
Lin Su only felt that he had become a mascot, but he could only cheer up and socialize. After all, these were his industries, since... he always tried his best to help out.
In the corner of the banquet hall, a middle-aged man surnamed Feng with a pair of dull teeth noticed Lin Su's scenery in the crowd, envy and doubts, and asked the small man with glasses and round face beside him: "Who is this? what?"
The little man's surname is Liu. Later, because of a certain food show on CCTV, he left the impression of a cook. Hearing the questions of the people around him, he asked back with a smile, "You don't know?"
It was the middle-aged man in Feng Pants who saw Chef Liu selling off, and followed him into poverty: "Should I know?"
Chef Liu said: "Forbes magazine knows, that woman, named Lin Su, ranked 387th this year, with a net worth of US$500 million."
Feng trousers would like to say that it is only $500 million, which is far from the $1.5 trillion super rich that even the "News Network" recently reported on. However, this idea is only a flash in the sky. $500 million is calculated. In RMB, it is more than 4 billion yuan. In mainland China, at least on the surface, no rich person can reach this figure.
The two were chatting. Unexpectedly, the woman came to her side under the leadership of the president of Jinshu Media, and quickly cheered up.
After introducing each other, Lin Su looked at the two main creators of the "Love Call Transfer" project designated by someone personally, smiled and asked Chef Liu, "Mr. Liu, about the script, how are you preparing?"
Chef Liu completely put away the joking attitude just now, and said seriously: "According to the memo material and the song provided by Jinshu Media, I have a lot of ideas, and I am currently collecting materials. I plan to capture all kinds of typical female characters, At the same time, it integrates into the context of our time, and finally completes the story.”
Chen Qing suddenly said: "Mr. Liu, I hope you don't forget that Jinshu Media wants a comedy, so it's best not to try to put too much connotation in it."
Chef Liu didn't expect Chen Qing to interject, but he didn't behave any differently, nodded and said, "Of course."
Lin Su waited for Chen Qing and the two to finish, and then said to Feng Pants: "This movie is planned to be released at the end of next year, and the two of you have plenty of time. I hope you can cooperate seriously and make an excellent movie."
With such polite words, Luo Gu, the president of Jinshu Academy, came over and said that the leaders of the radio and television were leaving. Lin Su understood, and turned around to see off the distinguished guests. Chen Qing, who had no identity baggage, naturally stayed and continued to confront the two of them. The project "Love Call Transfer" exchanged a few words, and when Lin Su returned, he turned to the next goal.
Feng Pants watched the two women walk towards Dao Chen of "Farewell My Concubine", and then asked Chef Liu, "Who is that next to Lin Su?"
Chef Liu just shook his head this time: "I don't know much about this either."
Both of them are still small roles at this time. They were accidentally approached by Jinshu Media, signed a contract, and got the project "Love Call Transfer". Until now, they still feel a little pie in the sky, although they know the general situation of Jinshu Media. The background, but the personal connections at the upper level are temporarily unavailable.
On the other side, Lin Su and several others are discussing his next movie with Director Chen, "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin".
This is also a very important topic tonight.
It can be said that this film, which was a commercial failure in the original time and space, is related to the next stage of Jinshu Media's layout.
One of the keys is the Qin Palace.
Historically, the beginning of the Hengdian film and television industry started with "The Opium War" by Director Xie as a tribute to the return of Hong Kong. Due to the political significance of the film, this project was not suitable for intervention. Now, since the Chinese film and television industry has begun to be deployed on a large scale, Simon will naturally not let go of the Qin Palace project.
What Jinshu Media has to do is to cut off Hu.
For China's film and television industry, Simon hopes to achieve a layout of the whole industry chain.
After socializing in this way, Director Chen finally had time to relax. Chen Qing invited the two directors of Jinshu Media and Jinshu Cinema to say: "You two, I was actually responsible for the selection, and Simon personally finalized it. I will tell you this today, I hope you can understand that Simon attaches great importance to this company. What I want to say is that you must have noticed this year's Forbes list. Simon will never be stingy with the truly capable people around him. All, I hope you can do well with the two companies under your own name."
The two executives, both in their early thirties, saw that Chen Qing was open and honest, but couldn't help but glance at Lin Su next to him, and then nodded again to assure, which also confirmed some of the speculations of the two during this period.
You must know that before this, the two have had several contacts with Chen Qing and Lin Su. In the past, Chen Qing's dominant tendency among the two women was very obvious, but no matter what, I didn't expect that in the first paragraph. time
On the "Forbes" list, Lin Suneng ranked 387th with a net worth of 500 million US dollars, but Chen Qing has no shadow.
This is not reasonable.
Thinking about it now, the inside story is obvious, but the woman in front of her just doesn't want to be on the list. As a Chinese, this mentality is also very understandable.
Thinking this way, Wu Shanlin said, "Miss Chen, since the project of "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin" is very important to our layout, why not take the opportunity to sign Director Chen? Would you refuse?"
Chen Qing looked at the tall and thin executive and asked with a smile, "Have you read the script of "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin"?"
Wu Shanlin nodded: "Of course."
"And then, how much box office do you think this movie can get if it is released?"
Wu Shanlin thought about it and said, "Director Chen plans to invest 70 million RMB to shoot this project. Such a film, um, according to Hollywood, a blockbuster should attract the attention of many audiences. If the propaganda is proper, the Chinese side , the box office should be very good. Moreover, Director Chen has a good box office appeal overseas, equivalent to less than 10 million US dollars of investment, global distribution, it should not be difficult to achieve profitability. "
Chen Qing nodded slightly: "Your ideas are all right."
Wu Shanlin showed a puzzled expression.
Chen Qing shrugged slightly, shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, Simon doesn't see it that way. Frankly speaking, these are Simon's decisions. Wu, and Luo, you have to remember that Jinshu Media's operating ideas are mainly commercial films. , not a literary film.”
Wu Shanlin and Luo Gu were used to calling Chen Qing's strange name, but Wu Shanlin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he heard that it was made by Simon himself.
Of course, Chen Qing knew the personalities of the two people she personally selected. Noticing Wu Shanlin's micro-expression, Chen Qing also narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said, "Wu, and Luo, I want you to understand one thing. Reason, many times, a child in the process of growing up, must listen to adults, this is absolutely not wrong, because the life experience taught by adults is often through personal practice. Whether it is Jinshu Media or the two of you, In this circle, they are basically the same as children, so until you prove that you have grown up, you better take Simon's words as good words."
After the two heard the words, after a brief silence, Luo Gu couldn't help but ask: "What if Mr. Westeros is wrong, Miss Chen, I remember you talked about it when you chatted with us before, Mr. Westeros It attaches great importance to the localization of executives of investment companies in China, because the national conditions of China and the West are completely different. Since Mr. Westeros understands this, then he should give us two corresponding localization adjustments according to the actual situation. autonomy."
Chen Qing looked at the two and said, "When the party just started, we talked about the origin of the word 'jinshu'. Do you know who came up with the name?"
Wu Shanlin glanced at Lin Su, then turned to Chen Qing: "Isn't it Miss Chen?"
"Of course not, it's Simon's name, and it's based on Lu You's song "Chaitoufeng"."
When the two executives heard the words, they couldn't help but look at each other, Luo Gu said: "In this way, Mr. Westeros understands Chinese culture, but it should not be profound, Miss Chen, you should be Mr. Westeros. Explain what the word means."
"Oh, it seems that the two of you are still not convinced. If you have a chance to meet Simon, you will understand that since Simon has this name, he must have a deep meaning, rather than being arty with a little knowledge. I don't want to. There are too many explanations for you. I just want to emphasize one more point. You must be obedient and try to follow Simon's ideas. Even if it is wrong, you must do the best thing. Or, you can choose another one. Lu, was kicked out."
After a moment of silence, Wu Shanlin finally said: "Okay, Miss Chen, we will work hard according to your ideas."
"It's not my idea, it's Simon's idea."
Wu Shanlin nodded again: "OK."
Chen Qing looked at Luo Gu again, the aggressiveness in her eyes did not diminish at all.
Luo He also raised his right hand slightly: "Me too."
Wu Shanlin immediately said again: "In this case, Miss Chen, we have no problem talking about the cooperation with "Jing Ke Thorn King Qin" recently. Regarding the location of the film and television city, I hope Mr. Westeros can confirm it as soon as possible."
Chen Qing nodded and said: "Of course, very soon, and, Wu, what you need to focus on at this stage is "Speak Well" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", if you want to become a qualified head of Jinshu Media , you must first become an excellent producer. This point, whether you have a diploma from Renmin University of China or your resume working in the Jiangsu Radio and Television System, is innumerable. On the contrary, if you take these as your support , will only give you the opposite effect."
"I understand," Wu Shanlin said with a smile, "Although I also know that this is the reason why Miss Chen chose me, but that was all in the past."
"In this case," Chen Qing quickly changed her smile, like a fickle little fox, and raised the red wine in her hands to the two: "I wish you all the best in advance."
The reception starts at eight and ends at eleven.
Chen Qing stayed until the end, and then returned to Mao'er Hutong with Zhu Momo, who also came.
Inside the courtyard.
Lin Lan, who has been silently serving as a bystander since this afternoon, has taken a shower and walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. While tugging at her still wet hair, she said to Lin Su, who had also showered and changed sleepiness, "Sister, it's not. I'm provoking, but I feel that Chen Qing is pressing you on purpose."
Lin Su, who was leaning on the bed and flipping through a magazine, glanced at his sister: "Aren't you provocative?"
"Okay, I'm just provoking," Lin Lan threw herself on the big bed with a smile, squeezed beside her sister, glanced at the English version of "The Economist" in her hand, and suddenly felt a little pain in her head, she avoided her eyes and hugged her. Shaking his sister's waist: "Sister, take the time to talk to Dad and the others on the weekends, even if you don't give Dad face, those people in the provincial government, if you let them hang, they will hang on to them next. We are a family."
Lin Su frowned in distress: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Lin Lan laughed silly a few times, jumped out of bed next to her satchel, took out a document that had been hidden for most of the day, and stuffed it into her sister's hands: "Hey, these are some projects sorted out by the provincial government. Information, you look at it first, which one you fancy, and I will give you more detailed information."
Lin Su reluctantly held the thick folder in her hand, thought for a while, did not open it immediately, but said to her sister: "Xiao Lan, those money... I can't move it."
"I know I know," Lin Lan nodded, and said, "Sister, in fact, you also understand, Dad and the others, the more important thing is Simon Westeros, 1.5 trillion US dollars, tsk tsk, just pull one Root hair, really only need one hair, enough to support us to death."
"It's just a number, and if you look at it a little bit, you know that most of it is tech stocks, the kind that are hard to cash out."
"Hmmmm," Lin Lan saw that her old sister still refused to let go of the information, she thought for a while, and then said, "Sister, at the evening reception, aren't you guys discussing the film and television city? I think, if this project is It may be very suitable to be placed in our Zhejiang, you know, "The Opium War" is now being filmed in our Zhejiang."
