Just as they were talking about the origin of the name Jinshu Media, another guest came towards Chen Qing and the others. Seeing that the visitor was a senior executive of the Ministry of Radio and Television, Chen Qing reached out and poked Lin Su next to her. Lin Su reacted. He quickly greeted him with a smile: "Good evening, Vice Minister Sun. I didn't expect you to take the time to come over. This is really our honor."
"It is our responsibility to support the national film industry. Of course we have to attend such a grand event," Vice Minister Sun shook hands with Lin Su and then smiled: "It's you, Xiao Lin, who really brought glory to the country with that Forbes list." ah."
"It made Vice Minister Sun laugh."
The two chatted animatedly for a few words. In the end, Vice Minister Sun just nodded to Chen Qing, who seemed to be a follower, and turned to walk away.
Then came the leaders of several state-owned film and television production companies, including China Film and Television.
Finally, it was the turn of the big names in the Chinese film and television industry.
Lin Su only felt that he had become a mascot, but he could only work up his energy to socialize. This was the first time that Jinshu Media appeared in front of the circle with great fanfare. Most of the prominent figures in the industry were present, but Lin Su himself, Because of that "Forbes" list, it has undoubtedly become the most important contender.
After all, it's all his property, so... I have to try my best to help with something.
In the corner of the banquet hall, a middle-aged man named Feng with straight teeth and an unattractive appearance noticed Lin Su's appearance among the crowd. He was envious and puzzled, and asked the little man with glasses and a round face next to him: "Who is this?" ah?"
The little man's surname was Liu. Later, because of a CCTV food program, he left the impression of a cook. When he heard the questions from people around him, he smiled and asked, "You don't know?"
It was the middle-aged man named Feng Pants who later became famous, and when he saw Chef Liu cheating on him, he also became poor: "Should I know?"
Chef Liu did not continue and said, "Does Forbes magazine know about that woman? Her name is Lin Su. She is ranked 387th this year and has a net worth of US$500 million."
Feng Trousers really wanted to say that it was only US$500 million, which was far from the US$1.5 trillion super-rich man who had been reported in the news recently and was the backstage of Jinshu Media. However, this thought only passed by for a moment. 500 million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is more than 4 billion. In mainland China, at least on the surface, there is no rich man whose net worth can reach this figure.
While they were chatting, they didn't expect the woman to come to him under the guidance of Wu Shanlin, the president of Jinshu Media, and quickly cheered up.
The two of them are not guests today.
They are relatively well-known in the circle. They unexpectedly received an invitation from this new media company a few days ago. After asking about the company's background, they chose to join without hesitation.
After introducing each other, Lin Su looked at the two main creators of the "Love Call Transfer" project personally designated by someone, smiled and asked Chef Liu: "Mr. Liu, regarding that script, how are you preparing for it?"
Chef Liu completely put away his playful attitude and said seriously: "Based on the memo materials and the song provided by Jinshu Media, I have a lot of ideas and am currently collecting materials. I plan to capture various typical female characters, At the same time, it integrates the background of our era and finally completes the story.”
Chen Qing suddenly said from the side: "Mr. Liu, I hope you don't forget that Jinshu Media wants a comedy, so it's best not to try to stuff too much content into it."
Chef Liu didn't expect Chen Qing to interrupt, but he didn't show anything strange. He nodded and said, "Of course."
Lin Su waited for Chen Qing to finish speaking, and then said to Feng Pants: "This movie is scheduled to be released at the end of next year. You two have plenty of time. I hope you can work together to make an excellent movie."
After saying a few polite words, Luo Yan, the president of Jinshu Academy Line, came over and whispered that the leaders of 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 behind and continued to talk to the two. We exchanged a few words about the "Love Call Transfer" project and waited for Lin Su to return before turning to the next goal.
Feng Pengtong watched the two women walking towards Director Chen from "Farewell My Concubine", and then asked Chef Liu: "Who is that next to Lin Su?"
Chef Liu just shook his head this time: "I'm not sure about this either."
The little foundation the two of them had was only relative to the current circle. They were unexpectedly approached by Jinshu Media and signed a contract. In fact, they didn’t even know the origin of "Love Call Transfer". Although they found out about Jinshu Media. The general background, but the connections at higher levels are not accessible for the time being.
On the other side, Lin Su and others were discussing with Director Chen his next movie, "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin".
This is also a very important topic tonight.
It can be said that this movie, 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, which is the key setting of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin".
Historically, the Hengdian film and television industry began with Director Xie's "The Opium War" as a tribute to Hong Kong's return. Due to the political significance of the film, this project was not suitable for involvement. Now that he has begun to vigorously deploy China's film and television industry, Simon will naturally not let go of the Qin Palace project again.
What Jinshu Media has to do is to cut off the nonsense.
Regarding China's film and television industry, Simon has no intention of making small fuss. He hopes to promote the development of China's film and television industry in an all-round way.
After discussing the project "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" with Director Chen, Chen Qing finally had some time to spare. Chen Qing called the two heads of Jinshu Media and Jinshu Academy Line and said, "I am actually responsible for selecting you two, and you are Simon finalized it himself. I tell you this today because I hope you can understand that Simon attaches great importance to this company. I think you must have noticed this year's "Forbes" list. Simon will never be stingy with truly capable people. , so I hope you can do a good job in the two companies you are responsible for next."
Seeing Chen Qing's openness and honesty, the two executives, both in their early thirties, couldn't help but glance at Lin Su next to them, and then nodded again in assurance.
At the same time, it also further confirmed some of the speculations of the two people during this period.
You must know that before this, the two of them had had several contacts with Chen Qing and Lin Su. In the past, Chen Qing's dominant tendency among the two women was very obvious. However, they did not expect that the " "Forbes" list, Lin Su ranked 387th with a net worth of US$500 million, but Chen Qing was nowhere to be seen.
This is unreasonable.
Now that I think about it, the inside story of the matter is obvious. It’s just that the woman in front of me doesn’t want to be on the list.
As a Chinese, this mentality is also very easy to understand.
Thinking like this, Wu Shanlin said: "Miss Chen, since the project "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is very important to our layout, why not take the opportunity to sign Director Chen? I think that if we speak to Director Chen, he should also Won’t you refuse?”
Chen Qing looked at the tall and thin CEO of Jinshu Media and asked, "Have you read the script of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin"?"
Wu Shanlin nodded: "Of course."
"So, how much do you think this movie will get at the box office if it's released?"
Wu Shanlin thought for a while and said: "Director Chen plans to invest 70 million yuan in this project. Such a blockbuster movie, according to Hollywood, should attract the attention of many viewers. If it is promoted properly, in China, The box office will be very good. Moreover, Director Chen still has considerable influence overseas. With an investment equivalent to less than 10 million US dollars, it should not be difficult to achieve profitability through global distribution."
Chen Qing nodded slightly: "Your ideas are correct."
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 must remember that Jinshu Media's operating philosophy is mainly based on commercial movies. , rather than a literary film, and Director Chen’s style is really too literary.”
Wu Shanlin and Luo Yan were used to Chen Qing's weird names. However, Wu Shanlin raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that this was Simon's personal decision.
Chen Qing, the guys he personally selected, certainly knew their personalities. Noticing Wu Shanlin's slight expression, Chen Qing also narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Wu, and Luo, you have to understand one thing, Xiao It is usually true that children should listen to adults when they are growing up. This is especially true if the parent is a successful person. Because the life lessons taught by adults are often practiced personally. Whether it is Jin Book Media, you two, are almost like children in this circle, so before you prove that you have grown up, you two had better take Simon’s words as good advice.”
When Wu Shanlin and Wu Shanlin heard this, after a brief silence, Luo Que couldn't help but ask: "What if Mr. Westeros is wrong, Miss Chen, I remember you talked to us before, Mr. Westeros is very Pay attention to the localization of executives of companies investing in China, because the national conditions of China and the West are completely different. Since Mr. Westeros understands this, he should give us two the autonomy to make localization adjustments according to the actual situation. .”
Chen Qing looked at the two people and said, "When the party just started, we talked about the origin of the word 'Jinshu'. Do you know who came up with this name?"
Wu Shanlin glanced at Lin Su, then turned to Chen Qing: "Isn't it Miss Chen?"
"Of course not, this is the name Simon gave himself, and it is based on Lu You's song "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix"."
When the two executives heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Wu Shanlin said: "In this way, Mr. Westeros understands Chinese culture, but it is not profound. Miss Chen, you should explain to Mr. Westeros Let’s look at the meaning of this poem.”
"Oh, it seems that you two are still unconvinced. If you have the opportunity to meet Simon, you will definitely understand that since Simon gave this name, he must have his own profound meaning, rather than being just an arty person with a vague understanding. I don't want to give any advice to you about this. You explain too much. 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 wrong thing best, or you can choose another way. Road, go out and turn left.”
Faced with Chen Qing's strong tone, after a moment of silence, Wu Shanlin finally said: "Okay, Miss Chen, we will work hard according to your ideas."
"It's not my way of thinking, it's Simon's way of thinking."
Wu Shanlin nodded again: "OK."
Chen Qing looked at Luo Que again, the aggressiveness in her eyes not diminishing at all.
Luo Que also raised his right hand slightly: "Me too."
Wu Shanlin then added: "In that case, Miss Chen, it will definitely be no problem for us to discuss the cooperation with "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" recently. It is just about the location of the film and television city. I hope Mr. Westeros can confirm it as soon as possible."
Chen Qing nodded: "Of course, 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 helmsman of Jinshu Media, you must first become an outstanding Producer, whether it is your diploma from Renmin University of China or your resume working in Jiangsu Radio and Television System, it does not count. On the contrary, if you rely on these, it will only give you a better career in the future. It’s counterproductive.”
"I understand," Wu Shanlin said with a smile, "Although I also know that these qualifications are the reason why Ms. 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 towards the two of them: "I wish you a successful career in advance."
The reception starts at eight o'clock and ends at eleven o'clock.
Chen Qing stayed until the end, and then returned to Maoer Hutong with Zhu Momo and others who also came to join in the fun.
In the courtyard.
Lin Lan, who had been a silent bystander for most of the day, took a bath and walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. While pulling her still wet hair, she said to Lin Su, who had also taken a bath and changed into pajamas on the big bed: "Sister, it's not me. Provocation, but I feel like Chen Qing is suppressing 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 in next to her sister, glanced at the English version of "The Economist" in her hand, and suddenly felt a little pain in her head. She avoided looking and hugged her. He shook his sister's waist and said: "Sister, take time to talk to dad and the others over the weekend. Even if you don't give dad face, those people in the provincial government, if you leave them alone, they will leave them alone next." We are a family."
Lin Su frowned in distress: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Lin Lan chuckled a few times, jumped out of bed and ran to his shoulder bag. He took out a heavy folder that had been hidden for a long time, ran back and stuffed it into his sister's hands: "Hey, these are some documents compiled by the provincial government. Please take a look at the project information first. If you like whichever one you like, I will give you more detailed information."
Lin Su helplessly held the folder in her hand, thought for a while, and did not open it immediately. Instead, she said to her sister: "Xiao Lan, I can't touch that money."
"I know, I know," Lin Lan nodded: "Sister, actually you also understand, dad and the others value Simon Westeros more, 1.5 trillion US dollars, tsk tsk, just pull out a hair. It’s enough to last us to death.”
"That's just a number. Most of them are technology stocks, which are difficult to cash out."
"Yeah, yeah," Lin Lan saw that her elder sister still refused to open the information. She thought for a moment and then said, "Sister, weren't you discussing the film and television city at the cocktail party tonight? I think this project is quite good. It's suitable for us, as you know, "The Opium War" is currently being filmed in our Zhejiang province."
