Chapter 227 News Spreads, Competition
Liu Yulan's purpose in holding the celebration banquet was more to increase her popularity.
It doesn't really matter whether entertainment company executives like Chen Jingyuan are there or not, as long as there are enough celebrities.
Many entertainment companies are quite accommodating to celebrities, and they make demands on many of their stars.
There were quite a few celebrities who attended the celebration party for "Better Days"!
Even those who had nothing to do with this drama still came one after another.
Besides the company's requirements, they also wanted to maintain a good relationship with Lanco Entertainment.
With the success of two projects, Lanco Entertainment has risen to become a rising star in the Chinese entertainment industry.
One more thing!
As the saying goes, "ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring," and many celebrities can sense that the overall environment is not good.
Before, it was easy to get scripts, but now it's obviously much harder.
Even when some celebrities take the initiative to contact directors and lower their demands for pay, it is still difficult for them to join the cast.
If Chen Jingyuan knew, he would definitely say that things are actually quite good now.
If we wait a few more years and are impacted by AI, things might be even more bleak then.
These past few years have been like the last rays of a sunset, much better than before Chen Jingyuan's rebirth.
This celebration banquet has made headlines on social media!
This has generated a lot of buzz for "Better Days" and should attract some people to the cinema.
Box office revenue rebounded somewhat in the following days!
The box office has already surpassed 13 billion yuan, and there are still half a month left.
It's hard to say whether the film will be able to get an extension, but there's still a good chance it will reach 15 billion.
For Lanco Entertainment, this is already quite satisfactory.
With the film's popularity, Chen Jingyuan, Wang Changtian, and others also signed contracts.
The task now is to find a director for "The Battle at Lake Changjin".
Having the successful experience from his previous life, Chen Jingyuan directly proposed a collaboration with several top directors.
Many companies naturally wouldn't object to this plan!
While collaborations between top directors are uncommon, this project is worth $2 million.
It would be a bit rash for a single director to handle such a large project.
Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark, Lam Chiu-yin and other renowned directors were all nominated.
We'll have to wait for further contact to find out!
To be honest, many of these great directors faded into obscurity during the era of high box office returns.
We certainly won't let such an opportunity slip by!
Many companies have also started to release some information, after all, they definitely need to take care of their stock prices.
"I heard that many companies in the Chinese entertainment industry are planning a big project!!"
"This project was reportedly proposed and initiated by President Chen Jingyuan!!"
"Many company executives personally attended the premiere, probably for the sake of the project."
.....
Rumors began to circulate, sparking heated discussions among netizens.
The fact that the stock prices of many companies have begun to slowly recover is good news.
The projects were mainly established by Chen Jingyuan, so they are relatively secure.
At least many people are optimistic about it!
Given the positive outlook, the stock prices of these companies naturally rose.
Wang Changtian and the others were undoubtedly still very excited!
Although I had a premonition before, I didn't expect the name Chen Jingyuan to be so powerful.
Don't underestimate Chen Jingyuan's status among stock market investors; Tencent missed out on him before.
This is definitely not to be missed!
Of course, this major project is also very eye-catching in the Chinese entertainment industry, especially at this time.
They all started asking around among acquaintances, hoping to find a suitable role for themselves.
This is a great opportunity for many celebrities and actors.
However, many people have also noticed one thing: Huayi was not included in the many company collaborations.
Many celebrities are well aware of this, and it's clear they've been affected by the previous dual contracts.
The two Wang brothers from Huayi were quite angry about being isolated.
Why not include Huayi?!
It can be said that Huayi has never suffered such indignity since its establishment.
Furthermore, Chen Jingyuan previously blatantly targeted artists from Huayi Brothers, showing them absolutely no respect.
This incident still left Wang Zhonglei extremely unhappy.
Chen Jingyuan is just an ordinary worker; if it weren't for Tencent's backing, who would care?
In the end, it all boils down to jealousy!
Chen Jingyuan is enviable in every way, including his age, ability, and status.
"Let's wait until this turmoil is over."
Wang Zhongjun remained quite rational and spoke up.
Currently, Huayi does not have much funding to participate in any major projects.
Even if we let them participate, they probably wouldn't get much of a share, not to mention that offending so many companies is indeed a problem.
Compared to his initial outrage over the dual contracts, he has now come to accept the situation.
The most important thing right now is to protect Huayi, even if its market value drops, it still has nearly 10 billion yuan.
This is the two brothers' greatest asset!
If Chen Jingyuan knew what the Huayi brothers were thinking, he would only shake his head.
If Chen Jingyuan knew what the Huayi brothers were thinking, he would only shake his head.
Huayi Brothers will only get tougher during this film and television downturn; they'll have to be capable of causing trouble if they want to.
at the same time!
The Shadow crew
This is Zhang Yimou's new work after the failure of "The Great Wall".
Originally, he only wanted to make this film well, but an invitation that came unexpectedly made him hesitate.
It's about the major project "Changjin Lake" spearheaded by Tencent!
This is a pretty good topic, and there's also the $200 million project.
The critical failure of "The Great Wall" last time, which resulted in losses of tens of millions of US dollars, had a significant impact on him.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
The shrewd strategist couldn't help but think to himself.
Besides Zhang Yimou, many other renowned directors are very interested in this project.
Director Chen, in particular, has a strong idea for directing this project.
However, the specific directors to be selected are still undecided.
Chen Jingyuan didn't have any particular preference regarding which big director would be given this project.
He hadn't had much contact with these big directors before, so it didn't matter which ones were ultimately chosen!
Chen Keke, on the other hand, asked him a lot of questions about the project, clearly asking on behalf of someone else.
Chen Jingyuan didn't know who Chen Keke was asking for, but he still provided some basic information.
Another thing he has to do next is about private jets.
It turns out that Gulfstream had cancelled a G500 order, but the aircraft was almost finished being built.
If Chen Jingyuan buys it, it will save a lot of time.
The procedures might be a little troublesome!
The delivery time for medium and large business jets is usually more than 18 months, which is indeed too long.
If he buys this Gulfstream G500, it can be delivered in October.
In addition, the processing time may take some time, so it may be available by the end of the year at the latest.
After some consideration, Chen Jingyuan decided to modify the order and go through the formalities.
Normal delivery time is indeed a bit too long; buy early and enjoy it sooner!
