Ren Jingxi arrived half an hour late, and was sure that they could not reach an agreement. He ate lunch in a hurry and left early, leaving Guan Yinan and Jiang Anqi looking at each other.
And, a sense of relief.
Neither of them really liked "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", but they made an appointment to talk in person due to pressure from a certain man. Now that Ren Jingxi has taken the responsibility for failing to achieve this cooperation, they no longer have to worry about it. .
As for the inexplicable loss in the subconscious, they are just temporary thoughts after all.
Still have to look forward.
After seeing off Ren Jingxi, the two of them continued to have lunch slowly, and said to Jiang Anqi: "In that case, where should I talk to Jiahe's "Phantom Agent" again?"
Jiang Anqi was no longer anxious at this time. She thought about it and said, "I'll read the script first in the afternoon."
Guan Yinan nodded and said: "Actually, there are many movies and TV shows looking for you these days. Most of them are unreliable at first glance and I have blocked them. The rest, such as "Phantom Agent", are on your side. We all know. I have been to the United States, and the actors there, how should I put it, some specialize in movies, and some specialize in TV, the distinction is very clear. The situation here in China is very different. The box office of a year's movies is not as high as that of others. If you come down a lot, you may not be able to eat enough if you focus on acting in a movie. Although the style is high, I still recommend you to participate in a suitable TV series if there is one."
Jiang Anqi understood why Guan Yinan said this, but still advised her not to be too angry.
In fact, not at all... Well, indeed a little bit, but she is also very aware of the reality. In China, in the film and television circles, there are not many people who focus on movies or TV. Lao Jiang won awards abroad with "Sunny Days" Even though she has to film "Beijingers in New York" and the like, what qualifications does she have to win over Joe
The two of them were chatting like this, and seeing that lunch was almost there, Guan Yinan asked again: "Where are you going next?"
"Someone is waiting to lend me a loan. I will go back to my residence in Shichahai and read the script in the afternoon," Jiang Anqi said, remembering something: "Sister Guan, if I have any objections to the script, can I participate in the revision?"
"Of course, as long as you have a good idea," Guan Yinan nodded, and explained: "Hong Kong is different from Hollywood in this regard. As long as you have the right to speak, there is no problem in changing the play on the spot. However, as I just said, it is still You have to have a good idea, but if it’s just to add drama to yourself, they probably won’t agree to it.”
"I know."
"Also, I almost forgot, there is a party in the evening to celebrate the completion of "Kangxi Private Interview". In fact, the main reason is that the company wants everyone to get together. Do you want to come
"where?"
"It's a private club near Shichahai, not far from your residence," Guan Yinan said, "If you want to come, I'll let you know in the evening."
"OK."
After finishing speaking, the two paid the bill and left the restaurant together. A conspicuous black Range Rover was already parked on the street.
This is the car Jiang Anqi picked some time ago.
There was still some vanity in it. When they saw her coming out, the two girls in the Range Rover got out of the car together. One came over and the other helped open the door. Jiang Anqi, who had put on her sunglasses in advance, got into the car with her head down and looked at passers-by. His attention was silently excited.
After getting in the car, and finally waving to Guan Yinan, Jiang Anqi asked the driver to show her where she lived.
She has also obtained the villa in Rose Garden in Changping District, but has not moved in.
The main reason was that it was still under development and there were not many residents at all, not to mention that it was still a bit far from the city. After talking to people around her in the United States, the man quickly arranged for her to live in a courtyard house on the Shicha Sea. .
The renovated and grand courtyard is not far from Soong Ching Ling's former residence, so you can see the location.
It's a little regretful that I didn't send it to her directly this time.
On the other side, Guan Yinan and Jiang Anqi drove their own cars to the headquarters of Jinshu Media, which was also located in Haidian District, in an inconspicuous six-story office building south of the Beijing Normal University campus.
The location is very close to China Film Academy, less than 500 meters apart.
When this headquarters was finalized, many people, including Jiang Anqi, were somewhat resentful. Simon Westeros was so rich, so he at least allowed everyone to open up a piece of land in Guomao. However, Westeros himself actually gave a reply. If you want a good office space, you must first achieve results.
In fact, speaking of it, the entire building is owned by Jinshu Media, which is already very good.
Now, considering that the local box office of "Something to Say" released before the New Year in China has exceeded 60 million, and the overseas copyright has also been successfully sold, earning an equivalent of 30 million yuan, it is also a good start.
Some achievements have been made.
Finally not too busy.
Guan Yinan's afternoon work was to plan to discuss "Super Girl" with Jinshu's senior management.
This matter was finalized last year. During this period, many changes occurred, such as changing TV stations and struggling with the creative team. After the year, it was finally confirmed that it will be exclusively broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV, which is logged on to the satellite. Jinshu Media will exclusively broadcast "Super" this time. "Girls" contestant management contract. Considering the popularity of the original version of this show "American Idol" in North America, as long as everything goes well, it can directly support the music department of Jinshu Management Company.
You know, the domestic music industry was still quite prosperous in the 1990s.
As soon as she parked her car under the company's office building, Jiang Anqi saw her boss Wu Shanlin and a group of other people hurriedly entering the door of the office building. One of the women was very familiar, Chen Qing.
He quickly followed and finally caught up with the crowd.
The senior management of Jinshu Department are all young and powerful hard-working people in their thirties. Guan Yinan is even two years older than Wu Shanlin, and they are both in the entrepreneurial stage. There is no obvious grade difference between them. Seeing her come to his side, Wu Shanlin and others took the initiative to nod in greeting. Guan Yinan stepped forward and did not forget to say hello to Chen Qing. Then he looked at Wu Shanlin again with a questioning look.
There was no elevator in this old office building. Everyone walked towards the stairs together, and Wu Shanlin whispered: "It's done."
Then no more was said.
Guan Yinan didn't ask any more questions, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
She actually knew the matter.
Over in Suzhou, the Jinshu Film and Television City project was reported recently.
The reason is that the local government violated regulations in approval.
The reasons are not complicated. Some people are interested in the huge investment projects worth hundreds of millions and want to undertake some projects. The Jinshu Department has its own arrangements. After all, they all spend their own money, not government infrastructure. , of course it is impossible to give it to everyone who wants it.
Therefore, it is inevitable that some troubles will occur.
Looking again at Chen Qing, who was flipping through a handheld computer while going up the stairs, Guan Yinan was thinking of a certain man.
With the relationship between Simon West and the above, it would be strange if this matter could not be resolved.
After all, in various fields in the country, there are countless side projects like Jinshu Film and Television City. In this era, it is popular to cross the river by feeling for the stones. In fact, the above people are turning a blind eye, as long as they don’t make something too bad. Stall, I’d love for you to try it.
It's just that there are always a lot of bad things.
Such as this kind of report.
It depends on whether your energy is strong enough and whether you can cover it up.
Guan Yinan is actually the senior executive Chen Qing is mainly responsible for selecting. He has met her many times, so he knows this pretty girl quite well. Looking at Chen Qing's still sullen face, Guan Yinan feels that this The matter is not as simple as just covering it up. No matter who is behind it, it will probably be in bad luck.
Of course, these are not things she can worry about.
Upon arriving on the floor of Jinshu Brokerage Company, Guan Yinan separated from Wu Shanlin and others and went to work on his own work.
Chen Qing didn't pay attention to the coming and going of Guan Yinan beside her. She walked all the way to a conference room on the sixth floor. She didn't try to grab the main seat. She just sat down on a chair and waited for others to sit down before saying: "This matter You don’t need to pay attention to the follow-up, just tell me about the progress of the company’s various projects.”
In addition to Wu Shanlin, Luo Qian, who is in charge of theaters and movie studios, is also there, as well as He Ze, the main person in charge of the Jinshu Film and Television City project in Suzhou, who is also a young executive who looks to be in his thirties. .
Different from some other fields, although Simon personally finalized the Jinshu Department, the specific aspects of the people around him were all selected by Chen Qing. With some understanding, for this person who is younger than them The girl was also quite convinced. After hearing what she said, everyone knew that they would not be able to intervene in subsequent matters. Wu Shanlin began to report on various projects of Jinshu Media.
The first is "Speak Well". The release has begun to wrap up, and the overseas rights have been successfully sold. It has a domestic box office of 60 million yuan and an overseas revenue of 30 million yuan. It is a good start.
Next, the TV series project "Kangxi Private Interview" finalized last year was just completed last week. Together with "Super Girl" which has entered the production stage, this can be regarded as the main focus of Jinshu Media in the summer of 1997.
There are no film projects during the summer.
It's a small regret, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the stall has just been rolled out. Both Simon Westeros at the top and themselves have the idea of preferring less than excess. What's more, China is like this these days. It’s really hard to make money while making movies.
Or is a TV project safer
Everyone has already seen the sample film of "Kangxi Private Interview", and the effect is very good, so we are confident that another TV series will have a good start in the summer.
As for "Super Girl", everyone also knows the principle of Nan Ju and Bei Zhi, not to mention that there are few such programs in China, so it can only be regarded as an attempt.
Then, it’s the end of the year.
"Love Call Transfer" directed by Director Feng has recently come to the end of its casting process and is about to start filming in May. Unsurprisingly, it will definitely be this year's New Year's film.
In terms of TV at the end of the year, Ren Jingxi is in charge of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".
Wu Shanlin and others have reservations about this project, not to mention that Ren Jingxi is just a rookie. However, since the big boss personally makes the decision, they will do their best, so it will be the main distribution of TV series at the end of the year.
As for next year.
First of all, in terms of TV series, if this summer's "Kangxi Private Interview" does well, the second one will be released next year and become a series.
Then there is the "Mansion Gate" project, also at the end of the year.
At present, the construction of the real scene in Suzhou has begun. If everything goes well, this project will be mainly shot in Suzhou.
In addition, a possible second season of "Supergirl", or a shift to "Superboy", remains to be determined.
The concept of series has rarely been seen in China before. The second and third parts of various popular movies and TV shows in the past few years are rarely seen. This is also the experience learned by the Jinshu Department from Hollywood. After all, everyone can watch it. The stability of the series will become a signature of the Jinshu series once it is completed.
Then came the movies.
With the success of "Hurricane" and the completion of "Let's Talk", Zhang Guoshi's "Hero" has also entered the later preparation stage. If all goes well, filming will begin in the second half of the year and will be released in the summer of next year.
At the end of next year, it will be "Party A and Party B" whose script has been temporarily suppressed.
The last "Dragon Movie" was basically a sideshow, because it was the private hobby of the big boss behind the scenes, and it was not intended to make money. The cycle was also quite long, so it was treated as a signboard hoping to make some money.
These are just the highlights.
As long as there are other suitable film and television projects in the future, Jinshu Department will also consider participating in them.
Overall, in terms of film and television production, the plans for the next two years are full.
Then there is Jinshu Film and Television City.
This time I was disgusted, but fortunately it was nothing serious.
The Qin Palace, which broke ground in October last year, has been under construction for half a year. Some major sets such as the main hall of the Qin Palace have been basically completed. Director Chen has already begun to arrange scenes there for his "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", which will also start filming in the second half of the year. Director Chen has finished filming "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", and Zhang Guoshi's "Hero" can be filmed back to back without any waste.
However, the entire Qin Palace project, the buildings and pavilions, and the Qin and Han style scenery blocks will still need to be carefully crafted in the next one or two years or even longer to finally reach the level of a tourist attraction.
The other Ming and Qing palaces and Jiangnan Fenghua are still under planning and design. The selected land will be demolished just after this year. It will be good to break ground by the end of the year, because it is also planned to be a tourist attraction, and of course it needs careful planning. Moreover, the construction period will definitely be longer. It is expected that some scenes will be used as filming sets by the end of next year. If it is to be used as a tourist attraction, it may not be until around 2000.
After Jinshu Film and Television City, there is the theater chain and movie theater business.
The two movie theater pilots in Beijing and Shanghai were very successful, which was actually within expectations, because they are both prime locations and central cities in China. Even if the industry is in a downturn, they still have a considerable number of movie consumers. Since last year, Judging from the data from the opening to the present, in 1997, the turnover of the two cinemas was between 15 million and 20 million yuan.
It's also a good start.
Therefore, the second batch of 20 movie theater plans also in the core areas of various provincial capital cities has been launched and is expected to be put into use next year.
As for theater chains, progress is quite slow due to domestic regulatory restrictions and passive resistance from various regions.
However, generally speaking, the entire Jinshu Series can be said to be in a state of quiet expansion with vitality. Even compared to other domestic private media companies that are in the early stages of development, the Jinshu Series has already taken shape unknowingly. It can already be regarded as a behemoth at the level of an industry leader.
