This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 119 You can't afford not to be the leader!
Looking at the two dazzling figures on the stage, attracting the attention of everyone present, Wang Zhongjun's previous jealousy towards Chen Yuan and his Yuan Universe quickly turned into deep despair.

On stage, the Sony president spoke at length about his appreciation for Chen Yuan. Wang Zhongjun thought to himself, "What the hell is this all about? Not only did he win over Sony, but even the Sony president is backing him up."

The total market value of Changhong Group is only equivalent to that of a single department of Sony. Does such a large and powerful company like Sony really need a young man like Chen Yuan to advertise for them?

Hearing the vice president of Columbia Pictures personally say that a strategic partnership with the Metaverse would be reached,
When Wang Zhongjun was about to collaborate on a sci-fi blockbuster with a production cost of over 70 million US dollars, he felt his younger brother beside him suddenly shudder.

He himself felt dizzy. Seventy million US dollars was considered a medium to large-scale project in Hollywood.

Damn those Japanese devils, what kind of spell have they been given? How come they're so eager to fawn over Chen Yuan!
This young guy's metaverse hasn't even made a single live-action movie yet. Won't your investors protest?
Forcibly suppressing his excitement, Wang Zhongjun quickly realized that for Columbia Pictures, this project might not be anything special.
But for the Chinese film industry, a Sino-US co-production project with a cost of 500 to 600 million is absolutely nuclear-level!

Metaverse can't help but want to be the industry leader!

So what should Huayi do?
Without the title of being number one in the industry, can Feng Xiaogang support his grand vision on his own?

The photo of Chen Yuan warmly embracing Sony President Kunihiro Ando was immediately posted on major portal websites and widely reprinted.

Was Sony attracted by Chen Yuan's eccentric behavior in mainland China and wanted to place a small bet on him, or was it Chen Yuan's eloquence that won over this world-class company with his extraordinary charm and strong capabilities?

The media made a huge fuss about it.

As a result, hundreds of companies in China wanted to cooperate with Metaverse, and phone lines, email addresses, and reception rooms were all overwhelmed!
Chen Yuan's collaboration with Columbia Pictures to produce a $70 million sci-fi blockbuster and Metaverse's partnership with Sony to enhance their brand image have caused a sensation in the entertainment industry across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China!

This is absolutely the most influential project for Chinese cinema since the reform and opening up.

Some congratulated Chen Yuan on his talent being recognized by Hollywood.

Some question his ability to work with Hollywood;

Some criticized him for not promoting domestic companies but instead helping the Japanese.

There were also those who talked at length about the benefits of opening up the country to foreign investment.
Congratulations, excitement, doubts, criticisms—all sorts of comments and opinions flooded in at once.

Ordinary onlookers don't really care how the Chinese film industry develops; they just think Chen Yuan is really good at creating drama.

Not content with domestic challenges, he went abroad this time to take on an extremely difficult mission to push himself to the limit, which is truly admirable.

There's also a lot of discussion about the movie's female lead, Fan Binbin, who is considered one of the luckiest and happiest women in China.

Although neither the Metaverse nor Columbia Pictures has revealed specific details about this collaborative film,

However, according to someone who participated in the test shoot for this project, Chen Yuan prepared an absolutely stunning and amazing look for Fan Binbin.

This completely stunned the Columbia Pictures staff who disagreed with casting two Chinese people as the lead actors in such a large-scale film, and they agreed to Chen Yuan's request.

What kind of design could have such a powerful and intriguing effect? ​​However, most people simply dismiss this news as fabricated gossip. Just like the rumors and slander surrounding Fan Binbin during the summer when her popularity surged due to her role in the Blue Moon series, another wave of smear campaigns against her has begun.

They questioned and rejected her from various aspects, including her abilities and image.

But Binbin's fans were overjoyed, because their goddess was about to go abroad and go global!

In early December, a piece of news that the general public paid no attention to, but that surprised and astonished people in the film and television industry was published in the newspaper.

In a strategic move to upgrade China's film industry, the China Film Studio expansion project, located in Huai'ren District of Beijing, has been approved and upgraded to the construction of a China Film Digital Production Base.
The aim is to create a film production base with internationally advanced standards.

Anyone with eyes to see knows that this is the government paving the way for the Sino-US co-production project spearheaded by Chen Yuan.

Metaverse, which had previously only produced one animated film and hadn't even made a live-action film, has now become the undisputed leader driving the national film industry forward.

Many of the respected elders at the top of this feudal circle, who relied on their seniority and were shrewd enough to firmly control the industry's production system, were dumbfounded!

Young man, if you're so amazing, why bother with the film and television industry? Wouldn't it be better to just become a senior executive in a company? It wouldn't stop you from picking up girls!
Qualifications, experience, education, awards, and all the rules, both overt and covert—who cares?

Chen Yuan merely used the momentum to break the deadlock, forcefully pushing the issue, which already made many people feel extremely uncomfortable.

How many people will learn real skills to complete such a large project, and how much impact will it have on the existing system?
Chen Yuan's approach is clearly different from everyone else's, and it's almost impossible for others to imitate him.

His foundation wasn't in the film and television industry, but in business owners obsessed with his brilliant achievements. He also had close ties with the government, making him virtually unassailable!
He's only just started to gain momentum and he's already messed up the industry like this. I don't even want to think about what will happen in the future!

Because Chen Yuan's actions were so massive, the production cost was $3000 million, and it employed an all-star cast and a top-notch behind-the-scenes team.
The news that renowned Chinese director Zhang Yimou's first "blockbuster" film, "Hero," is about to be released seems somewhat overshadowed.

Before "Hero" could usher in the "blockbuster era" for domestic films, Chen Yuan had already exhausted the enthusiasm of some movie fans.

China Film Group also invested a lot in "Hero". Faced with Han Sanpin's teasing, Chen Yuan said that he was innocent.

The promotional campaign for "Hero" was unprecedentedly large-scale, second only to "Kung Fu Panda," which capitalized on the Olympic bid hype.
They went to great lengths to combat piracy, warning pirates in advance, plastering movie posters everywhere in bus stops and subway stations in big cities, and having the actors give countless interviews and appear in magazines and newspapers.

People might have thought that Zhang Yimou was very talented, spending so much money, hiring so many stars from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and having a Hong Kong martial arts choreographer, so his movies must be amazing.

However, after Chen Yuan's collaboration with Columbia Pictures, many people felt that if it were to make art films or feature films, Chen Yuan would definitely not be as good as Zhang Yimou, who has won numerous awards and is already recognized by the European film industry.

But Zhang Yimou's highest box office gross was only 30 million, and Feng Xiaogang's commercial achievements far surpass his.

When it comes to blockbuster films that are known for their explosive action and thrilling plots, Zhang Yimou may not be as good as Chen Yuanqiang, whose ability to create drama is renowned both at home and abroad!
