China Entertainment 2000.

Chapter 262 War of words in the company

"My full name is Yang Kaiser!"

As soon as Jiang Liu said this, Tong Ju and others looked at each other in confusion.

The two of them couldn't help but murmured "Yang Kaiser" a few times.

After a while, I couldn't help but admire Jiang Liu's quick wit.

Having Caesar have a surname does dispel any speculation that audiences may have had after the movie was released.

Jiang Liu's explanation was convincing and the matter was successfully resolved.

The atmosphere in the Children's Bureau office suddenly became relaxed and happy, and the three of them discussed the current situation of China's film and television industry while chatting and laughing.

The three people's views are almost unanimous.

The Chinese film and television industry in the past two years is like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and it can be seen that it is booming.

After all, after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 2000, several big-budget movies such as "Hero", "Pirates", "Kung Fu", "House of Flying Daggers", and "A World Without Thieves" appeared one after another on the market, with high box office Movie.

There are actually more scripts registered with the General Administration that have not been released or produced, and there are even more major movies in preparation that are rumored in the industry.

"The Promise", "Pirates 2", "Seven Swords", "The Great Sage", "Red Cliff", "The Night Banquet", "The City of Golden Armor" and so on.

These large-scale investment and large-production films not only drive employment, but also drive the entire film market, and the Chinese film industry is booming.

In the next few years, the total box office of the Chinese film market will undoubtedly rise rapidly.

Jiang Liu had some doubts about whether Yishui's costume movies could drive the Chinese film industry.

But it didn't show.

These days, Chinese costume movies can go abroad to earn US dollars. Most costume movies are determined by the market, and he has no say.

The two leaders are also on the rise.

"I have finished watching "Apes". The film has technical flaws, but the plot is smooth and the story is highly completed. Is it possible to break through the 200 million yuan box office in the mainland and become the first domestic director whose movie box office exceeds 200 million yuan?"

Tong Ju looked at Jiang Liu warmly.

Jiang Liu smiled and said, "I can't say for sure. I don't know if the audience will like this."

The first domestic movie with a box office of over 2002 million yuan was probably "Hero" released in .

It's a pity that Jiang Liu suddenly jumped out and pieced together a piece of "Pirates".

In 2002, "Heroes" hit "Pirates".

The final box office was 1.9 million yuan.

Zhang Weiping was in charge of the promotion of "Hero" at the time and announced that the film's box office had exceeded 200 million yuan. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the 200 million yuan box office included the Taiwan and Hong Kong markets.

The real box office in the mainland hovers around 1.9 million.

This has led to the fact that there has not been a domestic movie that has exceeded 200 million yuan in box office.

Jiang Liu's "Monster" last year was very popular, and the final box office was only about 1.8 million.

"Kung Fu" at the end of the year was still a little behind, with a box office of about 1.7 million.

From the bottom of his heart, Jiang Liu hopes that "Orangutan" will achieve a box office record of over 200 million yuan for a domestic film.

Otherwise, this record may fall into the hands of "The Promise" at the end of the year.

"The Promise" became the first domestic film to have a box office of over 200 million yuan. It's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Chen Kaige, on the other hand, was determined to be angry.

The audience must have scolded him even more fiercely.

Chatting until noon, the two of them declined Jiang Liu's invitation to have a casual meal.

Jiang Liu has no attachments, and the food in the canteen of the General Administration is not bad either.

There are no secrets in Forty-Nine City.

As soon as Jiang Liu turned around and left the headquarters, calls from several managers of "Orangutan" came in.

The bosses knew that the problem had been resolved, and the major review departments of the Cultural Affairs Bureau and the Film Bureau successively expressed that they had no objections. The film's world premiere time remained unchanged, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother!"

At Yixin Company, Jiang Liu stopped and asked the young man who called him his senior brother with a smile: "Are you from Nanjing University of Arts? What major do you major in?"

"Brother, I graduated from Nanyi Conservatory of Music. My name is Xu Yuteng. I am a song producer. I just joined Yixin."

Jiang Liu nodded with a smile.

Xu Yuteng is indeed his alumnus, and has released a song "Wait a Minute" that is very popular among young people today.

Speaking of which, Nanyi has trained many celebrity singers and presenters, but many of them are short-lived.

He is now regarded as the most famous person in the entertainment industry who was born in Nanyang.

After chatting with Xu Yuteng about the changes in his alma mater, Ji Nan hurriedly came over and said, "Boss, everyone is waiting in the conference room."

Jiang Liu nodded: "Let's go."

It is only two months away from August 8, the date when "Orangutan" will be launched in the four film markets of China, Eagle Sauce, Japan, and South Korea at the same time.

It is extremely important to quickly formulate an efficient publicity route and the distribution plan of creative personnel.

The newly established propaganda department of Yixin was under great pressure, and senior executives such as Jiang Liu, Xing Aina, Wang Jinhua, and Hou Hongliang had to get involved and help Ji Nan make suggestions.

"I will go to North America alone to meet up with He Jing."

"The North American market is more important, and it is related to Yixin's business development. I have to go there personally to understand what the North American audience is thinking, eating, and doing on a daily basis."

"Furthermore, the main creators Fan Binbin, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Bao Qiang and others are not famous in North America. Going to North America will not achieve much publicity effect and will waste publicity funds. It is better to stay in China and run road shows."

Ji Nan said seriously: "But boss, you are also important in China and South Korea."

"I know, but you have to prioritize." Jiang Liu nodded.

Wang Jinhua rolled up her sleeves and attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room. She said casually: "Binbin wants to go to Yingjiang with the boss. She is also planning to go to South Korea and Japan. She is not too tired!"

Ji Nan and Hou Hongliang looked at Jiang Liu. When Jiang Liu was about to open his mouth, Xing Aina said angrily:

"I think she should be honest and stay in the country. Pictures of her and Wang Xuebin bathing in hot springs are flying all over the world. Don't go to the media for the time being, otherwise the promotion of the movie will turn into a promotion scandal."

Before Wang Jinhua joined Yixin, she supervised Yixin's celebrity brokerage business.

Since she joined Yixin in 2000, no artist from Yixin dares to make a fuss about their personal affairs.

Not to mention the critical moment when the movie is about to be released.

The media reports heavily on scandals, relationships, and even promotes movies.

There was another point that was the most unbearable for Xing Aina.

Just a few days after Wang Jinhua and her team arrived, Yixin was described by netizens as a celebrity company harboring evil and evil practices due to negative news about some artists.

Prior to this, Yi Xin had a reputation as a frequent producer of blockbuster movies and TV dramas.

"Manager Xing, in our industry, we still don't understand that celebrities without scandals are not celebrities?"

"Binbin has many scandals, which just shows that she has high attention. Before a Hollywood movie is released, many management companies will include the scandals of male and female stars in the promotion contract."

Xing Aina kept retorting: "Is Wang Xuebin an actor in the movie? If he is, I won't say anything."

"According to Manager Xing's wishes, stars who join Yixin can't even have boyfriends and girlfriends?"

"What's wrong with a boyfriend and girlfriend taking a bath in a hot spring?"

"When Yixin was founded, the boss said that Yixin would not interfere in the personal affairs of employees."

"The company has no control over Fan Binbin's love affair in a hot spring, but since what she did affects the movie promotion and the company's interests, then please stop participating in promoting the movie and coveting the use of the company's publicity resources to promote herself."

"It's that simple!" Xing Aina slapped the table.

Wang Jinhua felt her chest was tight, and her face was filled with anger. She said loudly: "You are unreasonable. What's the big deal about a scandal? Binbin and Mr. Jiang were also rumored to have a scandal. What does this mean? It affects the boss's movie." Is it at the box office?”

"It's not like she did something outrageous and heinous!"

Jiang Liu was quietly watching the verbal battle between the two senior executives. Wang Jinhua's unbridled words suddenly made him unable to hold his nerve.
