Life in the Light and Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

After some discussion, the release date was set for October 31st, a Sunday, and the distributor also guaranteed that the film would be shown for two months.

With the help of a public relations firm, this film could not only compete for the Oscars, but also for the Golden Globes.

The only difference is that the former requires public relations, while the latter can be discussed after the nomination, and the latter can also be used to screen out the next opponents.

It's only May 15th now, and there are still more than four months until the release. During this period, the film will be kept by Leonardo DiCaprio.

After Leonardo DiCaprio's agent saw Pitt and the distribution representative out,

"Dude, this movie is amazing! Your directing skills are incredible! I'm full of confidence now!"

Little Li Zi suddenly transformed from a male god into a male lunatic, not only dancing with joy but also hugging Wu Yang and shouting.

Since becoming a global superstar, the only thing that Leonardo DiCaprio is still dissatisfied with is that little golden statuette.

Now, after watching the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio is filled with confidence that he will definitely win that Oscar!

The original public relations budget was $2000 million, but Leonardo DiCaprio secretly decided to add another $1000 million.

……

6 month 1 number.

Wu Yang walked out discreetly through the VIP channel of Beijing Capital International Airport, while Pang Hai and Zhao Xiaoguang walked out through the regular channel.

The two of them were there to attract media attention for Wu Yang, and of course, they could also make an appearance during interviews.

By leveraging Wu Yang's fame, they can increase their own visibility.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, even if they are from different majors at Beijing Film Academy.

As someone working behind the scenes in a film, fame is also essential.

Otherwise, if you mention it, people won't recognize it, and it will be difficult to quote a high price to outsiders!

Looking at the internationally renowned directors in the Chinese entertainment industry, whether it's Zhang Yimou or Chen Yimou, they all have well-known behind-the-scenes teams.

Outsiders who want these people to help make movies often offer prices second only to those of Zhang Yimou and Chen Shiren.

This is the result of fame; Wu Yang doesn't have much ambition.

As long as you can make your behind-the-scenes team's value comparable to that of Zhang Yimou and Chen Shiren!

With such talent-making ability, not only can Wu Yang's position be consolidated, but a steady stream of talent can also be attracted to join.

There's no need to worry about being exposed behind the scenes and facing the predicament of having no one available.

Pei Le and others are currently only minor celebrities in the industry because they have just graduated and are not yet married.

There's no need to worry too much. Once "Lost in Thailand" is a success, Pei Le and the others will quickly become famous.

Even if a film is successful, unless it wins an international award, the people behind the scenes are just passersby in the eyes of the audience.

Among his peers, a director who can make money-making movies is a guiding light!

At that time, major entertainment companies will definitely not let go, just like Wu Yang did back then, offering all sorts of attractive prices.

They were all young, energetic, and eager to become generals. Wu Yang didn't believe that Pei Le and the others wouldn't be tempted.

Of course, all of this is still unknown, and Wu Yang is just taking precautions!

At least the fact that the behind-the-scenes team was poached proves Wu Yang's leadership ability, which indirectly defeats Wu Yang.

It can attract more behind-the-scenes personnel and continuously cultivate film talents for the country.

This can be considered a boost to the progress of Huayu Entertainment, and of course Wu Yang didn't suffer any losses either.

Because the film industry involves many commercial factors, even the contract length and breach of contract penalties for behind-the-scenes personnel.

These are all much longer and more expensive than other industries, and various confidentiality agreements must be signed during this period.

Especially for movies that haven't been released yet, such as before returning to China, in the presence of a lawyer.

Wu Yang, Pang Hai, and Zhao Xiaoguang all signed a confidentiality agreement regarding everything related to "Manchester by the Sea".

Once a breach of contract is made, whoever is responsible will have to compensate for all losses!

Even with Wu Yang's current wealth, he couldn't afford to pay the compensation, let alone Pang Hai and Zhao Xiaoguang.

Outside the airport, Liu Yifei discreetly drove an Audi and parked it in the parking space closest to the VIP lane.

When Wu Yang appeared pushing his suitcase, Liu Yifei did not get out of the car because there were outsiders present, but instead honked the horn once.

Although Wu Yang is famous both at home and abroad as a director, there are still many people who do not know him.

At least the people who were sitting in first class and using the VIP passage did not recognize Wu Yang.

Put the suitcase in the trunk, then open the car door and sit in the passenger seat.

After the car door closed, Liu Yifei immediately rushed over, and two months of longing turned into a lesson on lip reading.

Fortunately, this Audi had been modified and the windows were fitted with privacy film, so there was no need to worry about it being seen by others.

In June, the capital city was already scorching hot, but fortunately the night breeze was still quite cool.

After the battle, Wu Yang and Liu Yifei took a shower and lay down in their bedroom on the third floor.

With the windows open to the north and south, a gentle breeze brings coolness and eases the longing in my heart!

"Is everything done?"

Wu Yang smoothed Liu Yifei's freshly dried hair and asked casually.

"The company has been dissolved, and the personal studio was just opened yesterday."

Liu Yifei's face was rosy as she leaned on Wu Yang's shoulder, her tone conveying both relief and a touch of sadness.

Wu Yang hadn't originally planned to return to China so soon, but Paramount executives contacted him.

I plan to talk to Wu Yang about collaborating on "The Martian," since this science fiction film has very few scenes.

It tells the story of never giving up and never abandoning others, and it has a happy ending.

Therefore, the investment is not large. According to Paramount's analysis, if they cooperate with Wu Yang, it can be filmed for $5000 million.

It's a low-budget sci-fi film, barely reaching the mid-range B-movie budget, so Paramount wanted to give it a try.

Wu Yang was tempted by the offer of cooperation from the six major Hollywood studios, but of course he would also be extra cautious.

I had only been in contact with that high-ranking official a few times when I received a call from Master Han.

At first, Wu Yang thought it was Third Master Han urging him to return to China.

After all, the investment in "Lost in Thailand" was too small, with a production cost of 800 million and a marketing budget of 200 million.

The reason for the 1000 million limit is that Wu Yang only publicly stated that he was the producer of this film, not the director.

It was meant to be a practice exercise for Pei Le and others, and even if it had some of Wu Yang's appeal after its release.

The box office is unlikely to exceed 100 million; at best, it can only guarantee that it won't lose money!

As for how much they can earn, it's still uncertain, because Huayi wasn't involved in this investment due to the forced acquisition of shares.

China Film Group invested 5 million yuan, accounting for 500% of the share; Guangxian invested 500 million yuan, accounting for 3% of the share; and Wu Yang contributed personnel and script, accounting for 2% of the share.

Because the investment was too small, Bernard wasn't brought along this time. He didn't want to bring anything fancy, but Mr. Wang personally came to his door with a check to ask for it.

Since "Love Like a Bouquet" was taken off the screens, Han Sanye has called several times in the past two months.

They urged Wu Yang to return to China as soon as possible to discuss the film project to be shot later.

Unexpectedly, this time Master Han was just acting as a mediator, warning Wu Yang and Liu Yifei, the young couple, to stay away from Chen Jinfei so they wouldn't get caught in the crossfire!

The power behind someone who can get Master Han to deliver a message is immense!
