Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 77 Yan Li: Bingbing and I hit it off right away

Yan Li stayed in Zao City until the tenth day of the first lunar month, and signed the drama purchase contract for "Conquer" with Zao City TV Station before preparing to return to Beijing.

Because of Chen Jianjun, the contract with Zao City TV Station was relatively generous, 8000 yuan per episode, which meant that Yan Li's time was not wasted.

The most crucial project was "Railway Guerrillas". Yan Li further investigated the situation and found that the profits were quite high.

The investment is approximately less than 1500 million yuan, but due to some subsidies and support, the actual cost is probably around 800 to 1000 million yuan.

A main-theme drama of this level, with a Shanying background, is sure to be broadcast on satellite TV, and it is highly likely that it will not be a provincial satellite TV station.

Yan Li made a rough calculation and concluded that if everything went well, there was hope that the various copyrights could be sold for more than 2000 million. Excluding costs, the profit could be over million.

And there is also a hidden benefit. If the main theme is well shot, the authorities will inevitably give some policy preferential treatment, which will be of certain benefit to Yan Li himself and the development of the company.

This was the inspiration given to him by Pang Dan, whom he met on the set of "Cornucopia".

According to [Annual Intelligence], this sister later took root in the main theme, was known as a "red artist", and finally made it from the third-level film industry to the mainstream, with many titles such as member of the Standing Committee of the National Youth Federation, member of the provincial-level association, etc.

When doing business in the country, having these titles doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but without them, you are definitely more likely to be represented…

"Mom, don't stuff it. I can't finish all the food you brought."

When Yan Li returned home, he brought a lot of bags, and when he left, he brought even more big bags and extra-big bags.

"If you can't finish it, you can still have your girlfriend and classmates. Share some with them. They're all made at home, so they're clean and you can't buy them outside."

In the past, when Yan Li went home during the winter vacation, Zhang Hong was afraid that he would be too tired from carrying people on the crowded train, so she was very restrained. This time, Yan Li has a car, so there is no need to worry about it. She can just fill it up.

Yan Li had no choice but to let Zhang Hong do it. In the end, not only was the trunk full, but there were also a lot of things in the back seat.

Even the passenger seat had a new quilt put on by Grandma Yan Li.

The old lady didn't know where she got the news, but she heard that the capital was colder than home. She thought her grandson was suffering from the cold in the capital, so she prepared a quilt for Yan Li to take back to the capital. She even came early this morning to check whether Yan Li had put the quilt in the car.

After packing up his luggage, Yan Li got in the car and fastened his seatbelt. "Mom, I'm leaving. Tell my dad to hire someone to help if the store is too busy."

After the New Year, Yan's Braised Pork was officially launched online, and the business was so good that Comrade Yan didn't even have time to send his son off.

"Got it. Your second aunt will be here to help in a couple of days. Be careful on the way and call me when you get there."

Zhang Hong naggled for a few more words, and Yan Litong waved goodbye to his mother, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and drove away from home.

Watching the familiar street scenes gradually disappearing into the distance, Yan Li still felt a little melancholy about parting, but once he got on the highway, he slowly adjusted his mood and became full of confidence.

New year, new journey, let’s work hard!

...

Yan Li had originally made an appointment with Dong Xuan to visit her on the set of "Snow Goddess Dragon" after the Chinese New Year.

But later, Dong Xuan's mother couldn't bear to see her spend the New Year alone on the crew, so she came to the crew to accompany her daughter on the third day of the New Year.

This has disrupted Yan Li’s plan!

Dong Xuan really wanted Yan Li to meet her mother, but Yan Li didn't dare to go. Some things would easily become distorted once they met their parents, so it was better to avoid them for the time being.

Fortunately, the crew of "Snow Goddess Dragon" is about to wrap up, and Dong Xuan will be back to Beijing soon. It won't delay anything if she sees him earlier or later.

Dong Xuan is not in Beijing, Qin Lan is also filming on the crew, and Huang Shengyi is still on winter vacation.

Yan Li could only return to Jimenli alone.

But he was the only one in Jimen. His brothers were all at home for the New Year, including Lin Jiachuan. Yan Li also took annual leave after the Lantern Festival.

However, Yan Li did not feel lonely at all, as he had his own things to do.

Yan Li accumulated a lot of personal connections last year. He could take advantage of the New Year holiday to visit some people and exchange gifts. Maybe he could find some new opportunities.

Furthermore, "Conquer" will premiere on Tianjin Channel 2 at the end of February, with other channels like Jinling and Xi'an also set to air the series in March. Yan Li plans to contact the media to promote the series, both for publicity and, crucially, to attract the attention of provincial TV stations.

...

"Editor-in-Chief Sun, please help me."

"Teacher Yang, thank you for your concern."

Yan Li finished a social event with a newspaper editor and several reporters, stuffed a red envelope with them as a reward, and just as he was catching his breath, he received a call from Tong Dawei.

"Lao Yan, what's going on? I've been waiting for you for more than half an hour."

"Got it. I just finished and will be there in ten minutes."

There were many drunk driving checks in Beijing during the New Year, so Yan Li didn't take any risks. He called a taxi and soon arrived at a bar in Sanlitun.

He contacted Tong Dawei, who soon appeared and led him into a bar.

As soon as you enter the door, you will hear loud and explosive music, flashing lights, and many young people in the bar are swaying and jumping to the music, full of passion.

"Have fun."

Tong Dawei shouted, Yan Li glanced at the scene of demons dancing wildly and nodded perfunctorily.

He doesn't reject the bar environment, but he's not too fond of it either, mainly because it's too noisy and it gives him a headache after listening to it for a long time.

They came to a booth inside, where seven or eight people were gathered scattered around. Tong Dawei put his arm around Yan Li and introduced him to the others.

"Yan Li, my friend, is also an actor and graduated from Beijing Film Academy."

Afterwards, Tong Dawei introduced everyone present to him. In fact, Yan Li knew half of them without his introduction.

Venice Film Festival Best Actor, Xia Yu
Popular young actress, Li Bingbing
Popular young actor, Ren Quan

There was also an old acquaintance, Fat Fan, who was frowning and glaring at him.

It’s the Huayi Artists Gala, no, to be more precise it should be the young artists gala under Wang Jinghua.

After coming into contact with Wang Jinghua, Yan Li learned about the situation between her and Huayi through the system. The two parties had a cooperative relationship, and Wang Jinghua was more like a semi-independent partner, forming a unique faction within Huayi.

Therefore, the artists under Wang Jinghua are not strictly speaking Huayi artists, and not all Huayi artists are under the command of Wang Jinghua.

However, why did Tong Dawei call him to Wang Jinghua’s artist gathering?
Yan Li thought about it and combined it with some scattered past information, he understood what was going on.

Tsk, Sister Hua hasn’t given up on him yet!
Sure enough, Xia Yu, who was the most famous among the group and had spent the longest time with Wang Jing, was particularly enthusiastic towards Yan Li. It was probably because Wang Jing had given him some advice and asked him to win him over.

However, Yan Li had little interest in winning over Xia Yu, but was more concerned about Fan Xiaopang who was chatting with Li Bingbing.

So, not long after, Yan Li found an opportunity to come over and take the initiative to toast.

"Bingbing, long time no see."

Fatty Fan was a little surprised, but he didn't want to hit someone with a smiling face, so he nodded and said, "Long time no see."

Li Bingbing next to him was a little curious: "Do you two know each other?"

"We filmed a movie together before, and Bingbing and I hit it off right away. We got along really well."

Yan Li explained, and Fat Fan, who was standing next to him, was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Yan Li strangely.

Did this bastard lose his memory or get drunk?
How could he have the nerve to say that they hit it off right away, considering how they got along in "Cornucopia"?
That's right!

Yan Li's smile was very sincere. He did not feel that he had known Fan Xiaopang for a long time, but he did fall in love with "Fan Jiuyi" at first sight.

A 900 millionaire!
It’s not that she is just a gigolo, but the fact that she can earn so much will definitely make her famous in the future and she has good business skills.

Maybe we'll have the opportunity to cooperate and make money in the future. If we can make friends, then try not to offend...
