Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 262: Help Me (3/4)

Gao Jun is the middleman...

He is the vice president of New Film Association Cinemas and has a good relationship with all cinema managers.

Later, I worked on the planning and distribution of many films.

He was invited to join the distribution of "Love Is Not Blind". He gave a lot of suggestions and really helped.

If he brings people to visit Shen Yan, there is no way the latter will avoid him...

Then... the actions of the people he brought with him made Gao Jun feel very embarrassed!
——After all, Shen Yan is a cultured person. Why are you asking him for advice so directly?

What advice?
"I don't dare call myself a teacher... Who is this?"

"Xin Xiaoming... the founder of Yuji Xinghai Media..."

“Oh, I know this company…”

Shen Yan nodded: "You came to see me?"

"…Would it be convenient for us to have a quick meal?"

Shen Yan looked at Gao Jun, who also looked expectant...

Looking at the time, Shen Yan silently calculated it, then nodded: "But I only have an hour and a half, and I have an interview later... an interview with CCTV, scheduled in advance!"

Xin Xiaoming quickly said, "Don't worry, it won't take long!"

"No need to mention you... just call me Xiao Shen... who is this?"

Shen Yan glanced at the tall beauty he brought with him...

About twenty-three years old, with long legs, thin waist and big breasts!
I have to say that today's bosses tend to have normal aesthetic tastes.

Xin Xiaoming introduced: "This is Pan Chunchun... a new actor..."

"Hello…"

Shen Yan nodded at her...

I haven't heard of it. I guess he's an 18th-tier actor, or he's retired...

Pan Chunchun quickly forced a smile: "Brother Yan, I am your fan!"

Shen Yan smiled and didn't respond: "Let's find a place to eat?"

"Well, I know a private restaurant that's delicious!"

"where?"

"Not far from here!"

"Then let's go..."

……

Yuji Xinghai Media is an advertising company specializing in cinema advertising and movie poster design, and has collaborated with several major cinema chains...

Shen Yan was thinking, most likely he wanted to enter the film investment circle, so he asked Gao Jun for help...

Gao Jun had no way to refuse, so he brought him here...

Forget it, Brother Yan will pay for lunch later!
Just make friends...

Then Gao Jun talked about a movie - "The Ultimate Decoder"...

"The director's name is Tan Bing," Gao Jun introduced. "Originally, Yang Kun was approached to play the leading male role. Jackie Chan has a good relationship with Yang Kun, so he agreed to be the producer... and he also asked the Cheng family team to handle the action design..."

"It's pretty good. The action design by the Cheng family team is second to none worldwide!"

"But the director of 'The Ultimate Code' contacted Sun Honglei behind our backs... and promised him the leading male role!" "Huh?" Shen Yan said immediately, "Yang Kun must be furious!"

"Yes, Yang Kun left the crew directly. Jackie Chan originally served as the film's producer for Yang Kun's sake. He withdrew, so Jackie Chan naturally announced his withdrawal as well... After learning about this situation, Sun Honglei also withdrew from the project."

Shen Yan said: "...Then it must have been a miscarriage!"

"...his wife had a plan. She said she mobilized Starlight Brilliant Investment, and then Zhen Zidan joined, and later Zhao Wenzhuo also joined!"

"Oh!" Shen Yan nodded: "You are talking about the "Special Identity"!"

"Yes... but this Tan Bing is completely incompetent... he can't even direct a movie. I asked him to change the script, but he refused. And then Starlight withdrew its investment!"

"It's normal. Starry Sky is dedicated to supporting Jing Tian... They spent money, so they must have something to ask for. If they are not satisfied with the script, it is normal for them to withdraw their investment."

Xin Xiaoming said: "Then this project is over!"

Shen Yan looked at them and asked, "...Did you invest money in the early stage?"

Gao Jun nodded: "Yes, several million was invested!"

The so-called early stage investment refers to the expenses incurred after the crew is prepared, including the initial expenses of the crew...

For example, venue rental, equipment rental, including staff salaries...

Xingguang Canlan probably lost several million - but they are a wealthy family, so this little loss is nothing!
But Gao Jun and Xin Xiaoming are different.

"What are you thinking now?"

"I'd like you to help me write a script... so we can start a new play!"

"Even if you two were to remake a new version, it would be hard for you to recoup your costs. Donnie Yen's salary is too high... Aside from the 'Ip Man' series, his films have only grossed over 5000 million yuan at the box office... Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo would have to make at least million yuan, plus publicity and distribution, at least million yuan... With such high costs, it would take at least million yuan at the box office to recoup the investment. I don't think that's right..."

Gao Jun shook his head: "...That's better than the guaranteed loss we're facing now!"

"Zhen Zidan said he would make another movie to help us recover some of our losses." Gao Jun continued, "But he can't come up with a very good script!"

What Gao Jun said is true, Zhen Zidan really can't write a great script...

Even passing level is difficult!
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken until “Ip Man” to become a huge hit!

"Special Identity..."

Shen Yan suddenly remembered that this was not the fuse of the quarrel between Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo!

Then there's a saying going around: Don't be too Zhen Zidan...

He immediately didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore!
The incident between Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo is essentially a conflict between the entertainment circles of mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

As for the movie itself, Donnie Yen is the producer and action director. He was the one who brought in the investors and the director, so of course he is qualified to change the script!
In the Hong Kong circle, making money comes first. As long as things can be done and everyone can make money, dignity and justice will be put aside.

In mainland China, people should be polite and respectful, work together, and whether or not the work succeeds is unimportant. Profits should be put aside, and friendship should come first...

In Zhao Wenzhuo's opinion, it was a disrespect to him!
It's understandable: the film I was involved in was halfway through when the crew suddenly changed. The person in charge told me that the script had been changed and asked me to sign my consent... I saw that this was not acceptable and felt disrespected, because I took the film after reading the script of Duo Heroes. I asked the crew to respect the agreement they had made with me before. The crew said that the contract had been changed and if you don't agree, you can leave. Your rent has exceeded the limit and the crew can't afford it.

I tactfully packed up and left because I had been promised that the housing price would be deducted from my salary. I also participated in the filming in the early stages and I didn't think I had caused any losses to the crew.

At that time, the crew also issued a statement saying that everyone had different ideas and respected each other.

I didn't expect that after I left, some media suddenly said that I was a big shot and caused huge losses to the crew. I hoped that the crew would issue a clarification statement on my behalf, but the crew suddenly changed their tune and wrote a long paragraph to find fault with me. They wanted to put the tens of millions of losses wasted due to the team's replacement and script changes on my head.

I was upset. Who gave the production team the instructions to say that? I later contacted a crew member, and that person said it was Zhen Zidan who gave the instructions. I spat out a mouthful of blood.

No more talking, let’s start the war!
Shen Yan asked, "What are the requirements for the script?"

"It's best to have two heroes, and the heroine should be prominent..."

“…Please ask for someone else’s help!”
