Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 238 He really goes when there's trouble!
Liu Yifei's eyes widened slightly as she glared at Gu Bei.

Then she met Tang Yan's grateful gaze.
After hesitating for a moment, he admitted, "Oh yes! It's me."
I chose yours from a bunch of actor resumes.

"But..." Tang Yan interrupted a little embarrassedly, "I haven't submitted any resumes!"

When Gu Bei was finalizing the cast for the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3, there were only a handful of people in the company. They hadn't organized any large-scale auditions; all the roles were decided by him.

They've been exposed!

Liu Yifei looked at Gu Bei.
Gu Bei then looked at Ji Rujing.

Ji Rujing was originally a singer, but after developing her career in Xiangdu and Kyoto for a period of time, she found that she had no chance to make a name for herself. So, a couple of years ago, she moved behind the scenes and became an agent for Orange Sky Entertainment.

Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, she at least has some sense of propriety.
It was immediately obvious that Gu Bei was using Liu Yifei as a shield.

Indeed, with Liu Yifei and Tang Yan both standing here now, even a fool would know to choose the former!
"Yanyan, I didn't tell you before, but I recommended your resume to Linlang Entertainment through a friend's connection," Ji Rujing said with a smile.

"Is that so!" Tang Yan quickly thanked Liu Yifei, "Thank you so much, Teacher Liu Yifei, thank you for choosing me!"

Liu Yifei was still a little embarrassed.
However, after chatting with Tang Yan for a while,

I found that Tang Yan's personality was quite to my liking, and the more we chatted, the happier I became.

Gu Bei saw this scene,
No wonder they're destined to be best friends.
He smiled and said, "Then you two chat first."

Subsequently,

Gu Bei walked around the banquet hall.
He returned to that small area of ​​the banquet hall to meet the group of film company executives.

"Director Gu, I really didn't expect you to give me such a surprise!"

When Han Sanpin saw Gu Bei enter, he immediately asked with a smile, "Are you planning to direct the movie 'The Great Earthquake' yourself?"

Everyone present had heard of the "Wind Message" project to some extent, but the scale of the cast surprised them.

But when the major earthquake project came out...

Even these CEOs,

They were all somewhat surprised by Gu Bei's boldness.

Don't be fooled by the fact that during this period, "The King of Kung Fu" was said to have a 5 million yuan investment, and "Red Cliff" was said to have a 6 million yuan investment before filming began.
But aside from these two films that were intended to profit from overseas box office revenue from the very beginning...

In the next three years, there will only be one film with an investment of 2 million yuan, namely Bona Film Group's Mulan starring Zhao Yanzi.

Bona Film Group is already a giant in the domestic film industry.
Gu Bei's Linlang Entertainment has only just been established, yet he dares to play such a big game!
Seeing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, Gu Bei smiled faintly: "I don't have any plans to direct for the time being, but you never know what the future holds. Let's wait until the script is finished and see."

Gu Bei wasn't very interested in this project.

This film involves too many aspects, and to make it, we must take into account the ideas and opinions of all parties. He doesn't want to waste time dealing with all parties.

However, for projects of this level
It also needs a big-name director to keep things in check.

Gu Bei already had a suitable candidate in mind.

"well said!"

Han Sanpin was very supportive and immediately clapped, saying, "Chinese films need ambitious companies like Linlang Entertainment so that they can flourish!"

Third Master had enough influence, and everyone immediately joined in the applause.

at this time,

Wang Zhongjun suddenly spoke up: "Director Gu is quite grateful. Most of the funding for the Twilight project came from China, and he immediately invested in a blockbuster to give back to Chinese cinema."

By the way, is Director Gu's Twilight Saga ready to start filming?
You haven't forgotten the domestic companies that helped you before, have you?

What wonderful tea!

Gu Bei heard this,

His gaze swept over and met Wang Zhongjun's cold eyes.

As expected of Boss Wang,
This tactic of moral blackmail is like a venomous snake in the dark.
While Gu Bei wasn't paying attention, she suddenly attacked him.

According to Gu Bei's original plan, the sequels to Twilight would be 100% profitable, and naturally, no other investments would be accepted besides the distributor Summit Entertainment.

This is also a Hollywood tradition.
Seeking external funding is to share the risk.

When the risk disappears, it will naturally eliminate others from the game.

Wang Zhongjun and Gu Bei were originally enemies.

He was never qualified to receive a share of the investment for the Twilight sequels.
Therefore, this move is a very obvious open strategy!

If Gu Bei wants profit, then he must bear the reputation of being ungrateful.
If Gu Bei wants a good reputation, then he has to give up his investment share to others.

Interests and reputation
It seems there's no way to own them together.

Gu Bei was about to speak,
Han Sanpin spoke first: "Director Gu has already discussed the Twilight sequel with me."

The original investment has already yielded a substantial return.
Because the domestic box office accounts for too small a percentage of the global box office, China Film Group did not continue to pursue the sequel as a co-production.

Once the three Korean products are exported,

The crowd, who had been itching to act, immediately fell silent.

In terms of support, China Film Group provided the most support to Twilight, while the other companies only accounted for a very small share of the investment.

If China Film Group has given up, then no one else has the right to speak.

After saying that, Han Sanpin smiled at Gu Bei.

Compared to other CEOs, he was the one who had the most contact with Gu Bei and knew very well that although Gu Bei was in Hollywood, his heart was in Chinese cinema.

That's why he supports Gu Bei so much.

The key is,

Whether China Film Group makes money or not has nothing to do with Han Sanpin.
The first investment in Twilight marked the first time a domestic film company participated in global distribution and revenue sharing. However, the second investment in Twilight only resulted in profits for China Film Group.

No matter how much profit China Film Group makes, they won't give him much of it.

He naturally had to consider it from the perspective of Chinese cinema as a whole.

Seeing the silence of the crowd, Gu Bei felt a warmth in his heart and gave Han Sanpin a grateful look.

Compared to Gu Bei speaking for himself, Han Sanpin, as a third party, is definitely more persuasive.

It has to be said, Han Sanpin really goes all out when something happens!

After a pause,

Gu Bei said, "Linlang Entertainment has just been established, and I plan to find a distributor to cooperate on film distribution. We will sign a three-year contract to be responsible for the distribution of all of Linlang Entertainment's films from 09 to 12."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts stirred.

Although Twilight didn't have a share of the investment.

However, Linlang Entertainment's film distribution business over the past three years is also a considerable sum.

The two films announced so far are "The Message" and "The Great Earthquake," with a combined investment of nearly 300 million yuan. Even if the box office performance is bad, it won't be too bad.

Gu Bei looked at Wang Zhongjun and said calmly:

"If Huayi is interested, they can also give me a price."
However, if you distribute a film by Linlang Entertainment, you can't release your own film in the same release window!

Murder and kill!
Gu Bei's actions were essentially equivalent to putting the meat on Wang Zhongjun's nose, letting him smell it, and then taking it back.
