Bright Era of China Entertainment

Bright era.

Office of the Chairman.

Xiao Shu drew the curtains, and tightly sewed the loose curtains to block the glare of the sun.

When she returned to the chair, her stomach growled slightly involuntarily.

"So hungry."

"Why haven't the boss and the proprietress come yet?"

Xiao Shu muttered, took out a small bag of candy from the opened snack bag on the table, and filled his stomach first.

These snacks are from New Haven, and there is a big bag of all kinds of food on the table, which is a gift from the proprietress's mother.

Not only her, but also several boxes of snacks were distributed to the whole company.

The portion is not much, but the heart is full.

"Aunt Liu is so kind." She opened the package and ate the candy, and looked in the direction of the sofa.

Two sisters, Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua, were laughing and chatting. One had been abroad for a few months, the other had been on a business trip for a few months. They each had their own stories, and they chatted endlessly for hours.

"Kim Jae-hee also started a business with Chu Xuan..."

When the topic came to this point, Wang Jinhua also felt strange because of this, and did not expect such a small episode to be drawn from Liu Xiaoli's words.

"Cissy, do you have any ideas?"

Wang Jinhua crossed her legs and became interested.

Kim Jae-hee went to see Sissy because of Chu Xuan?Is this capital Bai Fumei meeting innocent girls on campus?

This is often seen in TV dramas, but I didn't expect it to happen to Chu Xuan in reality.

Compared with Kim Jae-hee, the female stars in the circle are N grades behind.

Chu Xuan is outstanding, and she also expected this kind of situation to happen, but she never expected that this kind of situation happened to Chu Xuan for the first time, and the heroine's status is so high-end.

Sissy is even better. Hearing Liu Xiaoli talk about the conversation between the two gave her a feeling of being on the tip of the nails in a gentle atmosphere.

You want to develop in Hollywood?I'm going to create a Hollywood.

With one sentence, Kim Jae-hee was defeated, and Sissy was also dead!
Liu Xiaoli was manicuring her nails with nail clippers, she looked up and smiled at Wang Jinhua, and said, "I don't know what Qianqian thinks, she looks the same, but it gives me a feeling of sudden dark energy in her heart. "

"I've built up my energy." Wang Jinhua said, understanding this sentence: "Kim Jae-hee is not simple. He was born with a golden key, and he is pretty good in every aspect. There are resources and funds behind her for her development. Sissy wants to surpass her." She needs to worry about it."

She changed the topic: "One is to start a business, the other is to engage in the film and television industry. The former is to build a building to compress the space, and the latter is to lay the foundation to create a space. If both succeed, Kim Jae-hee will be far behind Sissy in terms of achievement."

Liu Xiaoli raised her eyebrows. What Wang Jinhua said was the truth, but the tone of her words was also very obvious to help Qianqian, probably to make her feel comfortable: "Then it depends on the future, and no one can tell what will happen in the future."

With a slight "click", the little finger nails were trimmed, and Liu Xiaoli folded the nail clippers back into place, and said, "I didn't ask her what Qianqian was thinking, as long as Xiaoxuan stays here, they will be allowed to deal with such things." Facing the two by themselves is also a process of running into the relationship, and it can also be regarded as a kind of growth."

Wang Jinhua nodded, approving Liu Xiaoli's thoughts.

There is no such thing as a smooth love, some things need to be adjusted and confronted, which is also beneficial to both Chu Xuan and Qianqian.

"What do you think about Luo Xiaozhong?" She asked again.

Liu Xiaoli put the nail clippers into the case, picked up the bag with her left hand, and was about to put the case into the bag: "I came to apologize personally, and the purpose was to treat his sister, and Xiaoxuan also asked him to go to South Korea to do such things , I can’t even get angry.”

"I was planning to wait for Sissy to finish her studies and settle down in the country, so I started to take over the affairs of the two of them and help them manage things."

"I talked to Xiaozhong Luo on the plane. This person seems ordinary, but he really knows a lot about foreign entertainment circles in China, including Europe, America, and Southeast Asia. He is a talent."

Liu Xiaoli paused, put the nail box cover into the bag, zipped it up, put the bag aside again, and looked up at Wang Jinhua: "It is estimated that Xiaoxuan has done a good job in this matter. The school is very grateful to Xiaoxuan and feels guilty towards Qianqian, it doesn't look like it's just pretending."

"Because of Xiaoxuan's operation, Xiaozhong Luo no longer has the opportunity to stay in the original industry."

"And if we have such an attitude towards Xiaoxuan, then forgive him, let him join my assistant group and give him a high salary, and his loyalty should be guaranteed to a certain extent."

"Compared to recruiting an unfamiliar person to cultivate trust from scratch, choosing Luo Xiaozhong will save a lot of trouble and avoid possible troubles."

Now Liu Xiaoli's assistant team only serves Concubine Liu Yi, and will also serve Chu Xuan in the future.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi are celebrities, and they will also get along with the assistants day and night, and the assistants will also be exposed to many secrets in life and career, which requires a high degree of loyalty.

The current assistant, Xiao Zeng, and the driver, Xiao Lu, were both recruited by Liu Xiaoli when she was still in the Red Star House. Liu Xiaoli has not changed until now, because she has a high degree of trust after several years of getting along.

"Xiaoxuan laid the groundwork for the matter in advance, and finally left it to you to decide. I guess Xiaoxuan recommended Luo Xiaozhong to you, which should be consistent with your ideas. He is a talent and has a certain degree of loyalty, which saves you a lot of trouble. "Wang Jinhua said.

Liu Xiaoli nodded slightly, approving Wang Jinhua's analysis. Although Chu Xuan didn't say this, she felt that Chu Xuan must have such thoughts for her.

"This child..." She slowly shook her head with emotion: "Sometimes, people and things are so mature."

Wang Jinhua smiled and nodded.

From Han Sanping, she learned that Chu Xuan had dealings with a certain leader. She didn't know the specifics of the relationship, but she looked at the Korean wave being overthrown and the result of the Olympic torchbearer.

To be able to reach a consensus and facilitate such a thing, can it be done by someone in his early twenties?
In her cognition, there was only Chu Xuan.

Just like Liu Xiaoli's understanding of her son-in-law, at Chu Xuan's age, sometimes things are really too sophisticated.

"Sister Hua!!" There was a happy voice from the door.

Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua looked together, and Xiao Shu, who was sitting on the office chair, turned her head to look.

Chu Xuan walked in side by side with Concubine Liu Yi, seeing Sister Hua for the first time in a few months, Concubine Liu Yi had a happy expression on her face.

However, there was something strange in Liu Xiaoli's and Wang Jinhua's smiling eyes.

In the past, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi had very regular schedules.

I came back last night and didn't show up until after two o'clock this afternoon.

What did you do?
Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi understood the meaning of the strange expressions, and their smiles were a little embarrassed.

"Sister, auntie." After greeting Chu Xuan, he sat down on the sofa.

"Sister Hua!" Liu Yifei and Wang Jinhua embraced.

"Qiqian, you're a little prettier again." Wang Jinhua patted Concubine Liu Yi's back lightly, and looked at her shoulders.

Concubine Liu Yi smiled softly, and waved at Xiao Shu: "Sister Xiao."

Xiao Shu also waved his hand, and said happily, "Madam Boss."

Concubine Liu Yi couldn't help laughing at the long-lost address, and she was as happy as coming home when she came to the company's office. She bounced and sat down beside Chu Xuan.

"Dish, the food is cold." Liu Xiaoli greeted.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi hadn't eaten all day, and they felt very hungry on the way here. After Xiao Shu came to sit on the sofa, they started eating with everyone.

"I'll eat lunch here, and I'll eat at my sister's in the afternoon." Wang Jinhua picked up the chopsticks and opened the lunch box.

"Ah, sister Hua tomorrow, Chu Xuan and Deng Chao and I have already made an appointment for dinner." Concubine Liu Yi broke the disposable chopsticks apart.

Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaoli glanced at them and nodded: "Then tomorrow, Sister Li, let's have a few drinks tonight."

They didn't ask too much, and the two children also had their own circles.

"Sister, what's the result of the movie?" Chu Xuan raised his head and asked while eating twice-cooked pork chops.

Speaking of this topic, Concubine Liu Yi also became interested, took a small bite from the lunch box, and raised her eyebrows to look at Sister Hua.

"In order to cultivate special effects talents and accelerate the development and progress of special effects production, special effects production belongs to us, which is our previous expectation." Wang Jinhua said.

Chu Xuan reached out to pick up the vegetables and nodded.

The post-production of special effects is an indispensable part of special effects movies.

The addition of the crew to the special effects team is also a major trend in the evolution and growth of film and television crews.

The former is post-production, and the latter is shooting, both of which are the core parts of film and television production.

If you win the right to produce special effects, it will undoubtedly be good for the accumulation of experience, practical operation and exploration before the industrialization of film and television, and it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the bright era.

This is also the expected goal of him and Sister Hua.

Just hearing what Sister Hua said, the expectation may change.

"You guys are the male and female protagonists. Yinghuang feels that he is too disadvantaged in this area, so he wants to take care of the special effects production. They also want production experience in this area."

"But regardless of personal interests, my third brother and I also disagree on the production of special effects."

"Xiangjiang entertainment industry has a certain foundation in the film and television industry, which is indeed stronger than our inland areas."

"But their film and television industry only serves their few types of movies."

"In terms of special effects production, even if they have a foundation in the film and television industry, the final effects may not be as strong as our brilliant era."

Chu Xuan listened and understood.

The basic chain of Xiangjiang film and television industry does exist. After all, it has learned from Hollywood since the 70s and developed early.

However, the Xiangjiang film circle followed suit very seriously. Basically, one movie became popular, and the rest all imitated.

This has led to the homogenization of film genres, which in turn has led to the homogenization of the basic production links of the film and television industry, and it has not changed much until now.

Xiangjiang movies had special effects a long time ago, but due to the homogeneous production industry, audiences who have watched many Xiangjiang movies will find that the special effects in several movies are not the same?

Just like zombie films, Mr. Lin Zhengying's series of films, and the series of "I Have a Date with Zombies", the special effects look different, but in fact the production process is exactly the same, including base map elements, P drawing method, rendering specifications, etc.

Moreover, in order to save money, the special effects are not modeled at all, and they look like textures.

In such a situation, even for a big company like Yinghuang, when faced with sci-fi special effects, it almost needs zero foundation to do it, which is not as good as the bright era.

"After a few days of stalemate on this issue, Yinghuang finally asked for all important supporting roles."

"For us, co-starring with Sissy and Cheng Long is enough."

"Third brother doesn't need to train actors, and there is no objection to this point."

"It's just that we mentioned that it doesn't matter who plays which role, as long as it meets the requirements of the role."

Wang Jinhua took a bite of the food and said, "Yinghuang hesitated for another two days."

Chu Xuan's hands froze for a while while eating, and said: "Actors meet the requirements of the role, isn't this basic practice, and you have to hesitate. Yinghuang doesn't want to cram all the artists under his banner into it?"

Wang Jinhua smiled and nodded: "They have this idea."

"It's no wonder that Xiangjiang Film is getting worse and worse. It's all about how to praise artists." Liu Xiaoli sighed.

Concubine Liu Yi picked up a piece of braised pork, and seeing the buttery fat between the skin and the lean meat, she stuffed the piece of braised pork into Chu Xuan's bowl: "There are still good movies, but there are fewer, probably because of them Slowly shifted the focus of my career from works to marketing hype artists."

"That's right." Wang Jinhua gave Concubine Liu Yi a thumbs up.

Concubine Liu Yi blinked at Wang Jinhua and smiled slightly.

"Then what do they say?" Chu Xuan took a big bite of the braised pork that Concubine Liu Yi gave him.

"Agreed." Wang Jinhua said: "The important supporting roles are given to them, the premise is that the actors meet the requirements of the roles. Even if their artists don't meet the requirements, they can exchange resources and benefits to other companies. No matter how you look at it, they can make money."

Chu Xuan was indeed hungry, and he ate very fast. Within a few minutes, he emptied a bowl of rice, picked up another bowl and opened the lid.

He said: "Then they will exchange resources to our internal entertainment company. The competition in Xiangjiang is so fierce, Yinghuang is unlikely to give resources to its competitors."

"Yes." Wang Jinhua agreed, and said, "But this part has nothing to do with us. We will know which actors are in the group."

"Sister Hua, how much is the total investment?" Concubine Liu Yi curiously asked with her chopsticks in her mouth.

Wang Jinhua replied: "2.2 million, Yinghuang 4000 million, ours 8000 million, Huaying 5000 million, and the other 5000 million will be released to attract investment."

She looked at Chu Xuan: "25%, 30%, 25%, 15%, 5% of the shares."

Chu Xuan opened the lunch box and inserted the chopsticks into the rice temporarily. The few numbers that Sister Hua said made him quickly calculate silently in his mind.

Brilliant Times still accounted for the largest proportion, but judging from the ratio of capital investment, it was a bit lower.

Yinghuang and Huaying are tied for the second share, but judging from the ratio of capital investment, they are both a little higher.

The next 15% belong to retail investors, what is the last 5%?
"What about 5%?" Chu Xuan was puzzled.

"Tang Ji Li and Cheng Long's box office share." Wang Jinhua said.

Chu Xuan suddenly understood.

"Big Brother is Big Brother." Concubine Liu Yi admired it. It's not the same thing in Hollywood that takes the box office share, and the Huaguo market doesn't like this.

Apart from the director and producer, as far as she knows, she has never heard of the saying that Hua country actors get a share of the box office when they make movies in Hua country.

Wang Jinhua added: "We are in the lead in the production of special effects, with Huaying and Yinghuang jointly participating as the deputy executives. The post-production location is at Huaying's production base, and the third brother will provide support and supplements for machines and personnel. Huang provides overseas distribution channels, so our shareholding ratio has been diluted a bit.”

She looked at Chu Xuan: "We have technology and experience, but we lack people, equipment, and overseas distribution channels. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Chu Xuan understood.

No one knows what the final effect of "Soldiers Coming to the City" will be except for the general picture in Tang Ji.

But unlike the original "Hope" micro-movie, a complete blockbuster with special effects is not enough to rely on the [-] machines and [-] technicians in the bright era.

It’s okay to say enough, the completion of the post-production will be indefinitely, and it is possible to do it in three to five years, but the efficiency is too slow.

As a central enterprise, Huaying Group has state support and naturally has a complete industrial chain.

There is a production factory under it, the full name is Huaguo Film Production Base Co., Ltd.

This Huaying Group's branch dedicated to film production is equivalent to a small and medium-sized film production farm compared to the eight major film studios in Hollywood.

Sufficient staff and adequate equipment.

Brilliant Times takes over the production of special effects. Although it has certain technical strength, the scale of the special effects department is still not on the table in terms of the special effects blockbuster market.

However, even if it can't get on the stage, it is definitely the first in the scope of private companies in the domestic entertainment industry.

Even this number one still fails to meet the requirements of blockbuster special effects movies. It is conceivable how barren domestic special effects film and television is currently.

If you buy equipment and recruit personnel by yourself, not to mention the time issue, the cost alone is estimated to be several hundred million. Borrowing the personnel and equipment from Huaying Studio is currently the best choice and cooperation method.

Therefore, it is very reasonable for them to reduce the proportion of film shares.

"Yinghuang owns a lot more shares, why is it higher than Huaying's investment ratio." Concubine Liu Yi was also doing silent calculations, but the result of the silent calculations made her feel puzzled.

According to the normal investment ratio, Yinghuang only accounted for 18%, but now it accounts for 25%, and the excess proportion is higher than that of Huaying. She is a little puzzled by this.

"Overseas distribution." Chu Xuan looked at her and said.

"Yes." Wang Jinhua nodded: "In my country's film market, distributors and theaters share a [-]-[-] split, but it's not the case when Chinese films are released abroad. Overseas distributors need intermediary fees, which is equivalent to slaughtering sheep. Understand it like this Just do it."

"Just like "The King of Kung Fu" invested by Huayi Brothers, it's not bad for their overseas box office to get one or two achievements. It's impossible to have more. How can it be possible to steal money from Hollywood capital?"

"In the agreement we signed, Yinghuang promised that we would get [-]% of our overseas box office."

"As for how Yinghuang communicates with their overseas distribution channels, that is Yinghuang's business, and we don't care about it."

"If they don't get [-]%, Ying Huang will make up the difference to Brilliant Times and Huaying Group according to the box office ratio."

Wang Jinhua looked at Concubine Liu Yi: "Do you understand?"

The dishes on Concubine Liu Yi's chopsticks were hanging above the lunch box, she was thinking silently, and after a while she said "Oh~", she probably understood: "It's like, if the overseas box office is only negotiated for [-]%, then the remaining [-]% It will be compensated by Yinghuang."

She looked at Sister Hua.

"Yes, according to this agreement, we only need to know that we can get [-]% of the overseas box office. It doesn't matter where the money comes from." Chu Xuan nodded and stretched out his hand to grab the food.

Wang Jinhua smiled slightly: "You can say that."

"Then I understand." Concubine Liu Yi lifted the chopsticks and put the food into her mouth.

She asked why Yinghuang's investment ratio is so much higher. It turns out that there are other opinions about the overseas distribution of domestic films.

If Yinghuang can negotiate a higher overseas box office ratio than the market, that is also Yinghuang's strength, and it is reasonable to take more domestic box office share.

However, Concubine Liu Yi was puzzled again: "Isn't Huaying Group also able to distribute overseas, and there is also the third brother, why not ask the third brother for help?"

Before Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua spoke, Liu Xiaoli who was next to her was the first to speak: "Don't you understand, Huaying Group is the official, and if the official is to deal with foreign capital, the transfer of favors and benefits will be complicated."

"Yinghuang is a private enterprise and can't represent anyone. They go to deal with overseas capital, whether it's favors or benefits, that's Yinghuang Entertainment's business and has nothing to do with us."

Chu Xuan tilted his head, and looked at Concubine Liu Yi happily together with Wang Jinhua.

"That's it." Concubine Liu Yi nodded, "It's a bit complicated, but I understand it, and I've learned it."

Wang Jinhua nodded: "You can ignore these things, but you have to understand, and only then will you know how to operate capital, and leave the rest to the people below."

After Chu Xuan finished his last mouthful of rice, he put the empty lunch box and chopsticks on the coffee table, and said, "Why do you talk and talk like it becomes a teaching, the proprietress has a record?"

"Hahaha..." Liu Xiaoli, Wang Jinhua and Xiao Shu burst out laughing, and each looked at Concubine Liu Yi with playful eyes.

Concubine Liu Yi inserted her chopsticks into the rice quickly, and looked at Chu Xuan with bulging eyes, annoyed and amused.

With regard to the movie, after Wang Jinhua's narration, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi basically understood the situation.

At present, Tang Jili is still leading the team to prepare for the preliminary work, and it will definitely take a long time before the shooting.

They put the matter aside for the time being and just waited.

In response to Sister Hua's and mother-in-law's interest, Chu Xuan talked about the public opinion again. Seeing that Concubine Liu Yi had finished eating, he had almost finished talking. He looked at the time on his watch and it was past three o'clock in the afternoon, and said, "Let's go." Bar."

Concubine Liu Yi wiped her mouth with a tissue, blinked and said, "Are you going? Brother Chao said it was seven o'clock in the afternoon."

Chu Xuan said: "Go to the film and television company for a walk. Brother Kong said that the theme song of "Legend of Red Flame" is best sung by us. Go and see it?"

theme song? ... Concubine Liu Yi's eyes lit up. Although singing is not her strong point, and she and Chu Xuan don't follow this path, it's still quite new to play occasionally, and she didn't expect the theme song of the show to be released so soon.

What song will it be?
"Go, go and have a look." She became interested and stood up from the sofa.

Chu Xuan took her hand and said goodbye to the two elders: "Sister, Auntie, let's go play then."

Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua nodded, and watched them walk out hand in hand.

It's sticky, but it hasn't changed.

The two parents and aunts laughed. (end of this chapter)
