Chapter 347 Master Xing's Sino-Korean Cooperation and Movie Ticketing Website

"The box office is a big hit, congratulations."

At the celebration banquet of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Wei Yang took the initiative to clink glasses with Master Xing. Wen Zhang next to him wanted to strike up a conversation, but Boss Wei ignored him.

The newly promoted Mr. Billion Box Office flashed a bit of embarrassment, but he didn't dare to turn against Wei Yang, so he could only leave embarrassingly.

Up to now, no matter how good people comment on the performance of the two actors, it is just a few chats after dinner.

For Wei Yang's current identity, businessman + production talent is the key, and the actor's identity is in the back. Regardless of the comprehensive conditions, a single evaluation is a paradox.

No matter how awesome Wen Zhang was, Wei Yang was hoisted up and beaten by his performance as an actor. In reality, seeing Wei Yang, he was still a younger brother.

In the past two years, he still dared to say a few words, but now Wei Yang is worth billions of dollars, making a lot of money every day, with his back in the Shanghai circle, and he is a bigwig in the industry.

Wen Zhang is crazy, but it's not really short-sighted...

Master Xing glanced at Wen Zhang, but didn't say anything. He had a good impression of Wen, but it wasn't enough to stand out for him, and it wasn't a conflict in the first place.

Compared with the Xiangjiang entertainment circle in the early years, Wei Yang's ignorance is already very civilized and polite.

In Xiangjiang entertainment circle 20 years ago, two people with such disparity in status had conflicts.

It is not uncommon for them to reprimand and sneer with a cold face, to make a face on the spot, to insult or even hit someone with their hands, and what is more, the methods are more vicious and violent.

At the beginning of the century, artists in Hong Kong held collective demonstrations against gangs. It was not a show, but the blood, tears and outpouring of resentment accumulated over decades.

With no clear grievances and no conflict in itself, Master Xing would not speak rashly.

There is nothing to say about this talent, but his personality is relatively reserved and gloomy, and in many cases even gives people a feeling of indifference and selfishness.

Such people are not willing to meddle in other people's affairs, and most of the time they are not willing to communicate with others, especially those who are not familiar with them. The main reason why they can chat with Wei Yang is because Wei Yang is also an excellent creator.

For film creation, comedy design, and some character creation, the two sides have enough common language.

Wei Yang liked him and even talked about the lines in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". Many people complained that the lines "I once had a relationship..." and "Love you for 1 years" were plagiarisms from old works or were jokes. Wei Yang put forward his own opinion.

"The feeling of the two times is different. The first time is fake, but this time it is true. The time is different, the artistic conception is different, and the meaning and words I want to express are also different."

Master Xing's eyes lit up: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Wei Yang nodded and shook his head again: "It's also my own speculation, I don't dare to say I understand it, but after learning about your story, I probably have some ideas."

Master Xing was stunned, silent for a moment, and suddenly said thank you.

Wei Yang accepted it calmly. Although his dialogue with Master Xing was a bit tricky and imitated Chai Jing's interview with Master Xing in his previous life, he really understood some of the meaning of the movie.

As a professional screenwriter in his previous life, he naturally picked up the script of a phenomenon-level movie like "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and for various reasons began to dig deeper into the story behind it.

Compared with the half-true and half-false stories in "A Chinese Journey to the West" back then, the "Tang Monk" in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is Master Xing himself, and that Ms. Duan is indeed a real person. It is her first love Luo Huijuan who died of illness last year. died.

In the middle of the movie, Ms. Duan showed her love to Tang Seng, and she was told "mentally ill", which is the real story between the two.

There are a lot of details in all of these, and the story of the two has become a permanent regret. The quality of the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is not high or low, but the emotional line of Star Master is very affectionate.

Boss Wei thinks his style is not good, but it doesn't mean he dislikes pure love. He always respects some sincere feelings.

However, he didn't come here today to flatter Master Xing's feelings, respect is respect, what's more, he wants to improve his favorability and get online with Master Xing.

"Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" was controlled by Huayi, but later fell out with Master Xing because of money.

This is because Huayi is dishonest. Judging from the evidence on the surface, it was agreed to pay dividends. As a result, Huayi made excuses to delay the signing, which caused the contract to not take effect. It saved 8000 million yuan, but lost its reputation and reputation. morality.

After suffering this loss, Master Xing said why not do it with Huayi, and instead moved closer to the capital in the Shanghai circle.

Enlight and Lianrui are the first to cooperate. Needless to say, the former is a company established this year.

This company is also a rising star in the film industry in the future. It has produced and distributed many films, and is good at making big gains with small things. Its starting capital is because of Master Xing's "Mermaid".

Now that Wei Yang has Wei Yang, he will naturally not give up this piece of fat easily, and find a new company. He himself is the largest film and television capital in the Shanghai circle.

"The Mermaid" and "Journey to the West: The Demon" had poor reputations, but the box office was worth billions of real money.

It's a big deal to let the emerald shrimp come forward, but the project can't be cheap for others.

So today Wei Yang stopped by to attend the celebration banquet of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". On the surface, he congratulated him, but in fact he wanted to poach the wall.

Just laying the groundwork and leaving a good impression. When Huayi and Master Xing fall out later, he will be the first to come to cooperate with the banknotes. Not only the contract is clearly written in black and white, but also Huayi can work together.

Wei Yang was definitely not the only one who had this idea. After a while, Lao Wang from Guangguang came over, and Fatty Yu from Bona also came over.

They don't know that Huayi and Master Xing will fall out, but if there is a date or not, they will make three shots first. What if they succeed?

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is the only Chinese-language film with over 10 billion yuan, so Star Master has naturally become a favorite.

Everyone is happy to make friends, even if you can't poach Huayi's corner, it would be good to go back and participate in a wave of shares.

Normally speaking, everyone wouldn't be in such a hurry, and they poached people at other people's celebrations. What's the difference between Huangmao Huayi and Huayi who are suitable for face-to-face, and they still have to give face to the Wang family brothers.

Seeing that Wei Yang and Master Xing were talking happily, they couldn't sit still.

I'm afraid even Boss Wei doesn't know that his weight in the hearts of other bosses is not usually high.

Leaving aside the size of the company and production capabilities, that vision is absolutely enviable.

A piece of "Lost in Thailand" earned hundreds of millions in real money, not to mention the influence of various parties and the increase in soft power. Every time the old Wang Guangguang thinks about it, he can't help but slap himself.

So when he saw Wei Yang making contact with Master Xing, he was really afraid that Wei Yang would fool him away, so he rushed over to brush his face and make contact.

Fatty Yu also had the same mentality, but he wasn't completely aimed at Master Xing, but half of his purpose was aimed at Wei Yang.

In the previous "Fame and Li Wan" and "Tai囧", Wei Yang starred in China Film, Shanghai Film and Light, especially in terms of distribution.

And these two movies have already proved the potential of Wei Yang and even Blue Whale. Bona started his business by publishing, so he naturally wants to cooperate more with Boss Wei.

Shanghai Film Group's share can't be grabbed, and Wei Yang and Shanghai Film Group are about to show their cards now.

Everyone knows that the two sides have reached a tacit agreement, one side contributes to making money, and the other side acts as a backer + distribution. Even China Film Group can only get a share of the pie, but Shanghai Film Group cannot be avoided.

Fatty Yu didn't even think about competing with Shanghai Film Group. Regardless of the official background, the United Cinemas under Shanghai Film Group ranks among the top three in China, second only to Wanda and China Film Group, and Bona is inferior.

But Shanghai Film cannot compete, and the light is hard to say.

In the two films of Blue Whale last year, Wei Yang ate the big head, and the light is not considered to be the bone, and he made a lot of money in silence. Wei Yang provided tens of millions of income from the release of the financial report at the end of the year.

Of course Fatty Yu also wanted to take a bite of this kind of fat meat, and his desire for Wei Yang was even far greater than Master Xing.

After all, the latter is just one person, and the output frequency is relatively slow. Behind Wei Yang is a mature company, and it is quite high-yield. Any fool knows who is more suitable for long-term cooperation.

The old Wang of Guangguang also realized that Yu Fatty and Wei Yang had a good chat.

They didn't poach Huayi, but they wanted to poach him? !

Wei Yang didn't get entangled with the two of them. When the chat atmosphere between him and Master Xing was disrupted, there was no need to stay. Besides, there were several bosses around, and Huayi was not stupid.

If the brothers of the Wang family changed their minds, fearing that Master Xing would be fooled away, then the 8000 million would be given to Master Xing, and it would be difficult for him to dig into this corner.

So, Wei Yang and Master Xing exchanged contact information, and then pulled Fatty Yu aside to chat.

Since Fatty is interested in him, he actually doesn't reject Fatty.

There are so many projects involved in it, the Beijing and Hong Kong circles are mixed, Weiyang's emerald shrimp has more and more funds, and the Blue Whale family can't afford it, and there are not so many high-quality resources in the Shanghai circle.

Then, under the condition of ensuring the basic market in the Shanghai circle, it is also a way to properly expand and contact the outside crew. What's more, Wei Yang now has Coral Entertainment, and there are many artists under his hands, so there is no harm in contacting Beneteau.

Although Bona also has an artist brokerage business, he doesn't have many cards to play. The most famous ones are Huang Yi and Yuan Quan.

Of course, Zhang Hanyu, International Zhang, Huang Xiaoming, and Li Bingbing are all minority shareholders of Bona. These people are not considered direct descendants of Bona, but rather a kind of cooperation.

Wei Yang didn't even think about letting people from Blue Whale and Coral replace them. The two parties can still reach a cooperation, and then discuss according to the share of specific projects.

Fatty Yu even intended to let Wei Yang take a share, but Wei Yang declined, the cooperation is cooperation, and he didn't want to be tied up with Bona.

After chatting with Fatty Yu, Wei Yang was a little hungry. Just as he was about to find something to eat, he bumped into the light that was looking for him.

Old Wang's eyes were filled with resentment: "Is this hooking up?"

"Why do I feel like I'm in a mess and I'm giving up. Brother Wang, you can't make money by buying or selling one or two, and cooperation and development are the last word."

Boss Wang of Guangguang is not really angry, this situation is too common, if because of this awkward situation, Wei Yang should be the first to turn against him when he went to dig Master Xing just now.

Although it is possible to cause damage to the interests of the light, it is also possible to make the cake bigger and make everyone rich together.

He didn't even have this vision, so Boss Wang shouldn't mess around, he was looking for Wei Yang mainly for another matter.

"Co-production between China and South Korea?"

"...The higher-ups are already promoting this project. I heard that it is the lead of publicity, and China Film Group is also involved. Let's not talk about the big policy. The Chinese-Korean co-production is equivalent to domestic production, and neither country is subject to restrictions on imported films..."

Boss Wang is from the system, and he is much more informed about some relationship news at the upper level. Wei Yang is not surprised, because the wind started to blow very early.

As early as the year before last, some Korean directors had come to test the waters, and Da Mimi's "Far Cry" was a Korean director.

The so-called China-Korea co-production means that Korean actors and directors are interested in the Chinese market, while China values ​​the professional ability and popularity of Korean directors, teams and actors.

At the same time, the two parties cooperate to share the financial pressure, and can also spread mutual influence, and both go abroad.

On a larger scale, there are certain benefits.

However, Wei Yang is not very interested in this project. Firstly, he does not lack money, secondly, he does not lack professional ability, thirdly, thirdly, he does not lack actors, and fourthly, he is not very interested in the Korean market.

As a result, there is naturally little interest in China-Korea co-productions, and even some resistance.

Because his main advantage business happened to collide with this group of people, and he felt a little bit robbed of the cake.

What makes this project a little bit tempting to Wei Yang is that some sensitive subjects can be filmed in South Korea, but the plot and ideology cannot pass the censorship, and they still cannot be released in China.

But he was quite curious, why did Lao Wang tell him this inexplicably.

"Is there a project?"

"Whether you want to do "New My Sassy Girlfriend" or not, you are appointed as the male lead, and you can choose the female lead at will. Son Yezhen, Lin Yuner, Jun Jixian..."

It was still Wei Yang's familiar pimp tone, but he understood why he was so keen.

Thanks to several hit dramas, Wei Yang is quite famous in Korea.

It is equivalent to the influence of TVXQ and Girls’ Generation in China, and it may even be even stronger. After all, "My Love from the Star" is a sensation in East Asia, and his other dramas can also wrestle with local hot dramas on Korean websites. The King of Chinese Drama].

In other words, with Wei Yang and a well-known Korean actress, there is no need to worry about the Korean market, and the domestic market is guaranteed.

This Chinese-Korean co-production was tailor-made for him!

But Wei Yang is really not interested. To put it bluntly, don’t you still drink his traffic? The big players in the market are also in China, so it’s so troublesome.

Wei Yang really doesn't have much obsession with becoming an international superstar, he just wants to make money.

Wei Yang is already very satisfied to be able to eat the huge market of China in a down-to-earth manner. For him, going abroad has become a gratification, but he will not deliberately pursue it.

"Aren't you a waste?"

Boss Wang is very sorry, the born superstar Miao Zi, who has become more talented and business capable, has become less and less interested in acting career, and has lost his face in vain.

"Don't worry, go back and ask if there is a good script over there. If there is a good story, maybe I will agree."

Wei Yang casually said a few perfunctory words, and walked towards the corner with his arms around Boss Wang.

"By chance, I also have something I want to tell you. I'm looking for someone to build a movie ticketing website, and I want to match some theater resources with your lighting."

"Ticketing website? I remember Meituan seems to have one?"

"It's gone now. His team was incorporated by me and renamed Hualuo. You will know later that Meituan, Penguin, and Baidu all cooperate."

"Flower snail?"

Old Wang tasted it, and it was indeed Wei Yang's handwriting, but he was curious, how Wei Yang recruited people from Meituan.

Boss Wei smiled plainly: "Maybe I haven't told you before, but I have a little share in Meituan."
