Hollywood New Century

In a high-rise mansion in Beijing, CY District, and Guomao CBD area, Simon stood in front of the window and admired the city of Beijing.

Tong Liya came from behind with two glasses of wine, handed Simon a glass, and said with a smile, "I've been in Beijing for three days, isn't there something wrong? Why are you all playing?"

Indeed, Simon spent three days in Beijing after coming from Hong Kong, leaving footprints on the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and other attractions.

"It's not a big deal, there are so many people in the company, I don't need to care about anything," Simon said, looking back at the beautiful Tong Liya and smiling,

"How is living here?"

Simon had let Adam Root invest in Chinese real estate before and formed a joint venture with a local real estate company.

Big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are of course the preferred targets, mainly for the development of high-end residential and office buildings.

Tong Liya now lives in one of the real estate developments developed by the company, a high-rise mansion with an area of ​​about 3,500 feet.

"Yes, this is the bustling business district of Beijing, surrounded by headquarters of various large multinational corporations, Chang'an Avenue, the junction of the embassy district," Tong Liya responded with a smile.

Simon nodded. In fact, Simon bought a villa in Ziyu Villa before, but he did not come to Beijing very often.

"By the way, how is the company?" Simon asked about Galaxy Culture.

"Yes, I've already started investing in low-budget movies, but it's mainly TV dramas, and I've also signed up a few new people to train them," Tong Liya felt happy when she talked about the company.

"Well, now you can buy as many novel IPs as possible, and adapt them into film and television dramas when appropriate, so that you can better cultivate new people," Simon suggested. After all, China is different from the United States. Hollywood's anti-monopoly laws Film companies are not allowed to get involved in the artist brokerage business.

"Now, you probably don't have much experience in movies, so you should first gain experience as a small-budget movie investor," Simon continued.

Tong Liya nodded. Although Galaxy Culture is not short of funds now, spending money is not arbitrary.

"The company's current main business direction is artist brokerage, but I will tell Zeng Jia to buy novel IP. In the future, Galaxy Culture can also produce film and television dramas by itself;"

"Now because I participated in the Sino-US co-produced blockbuster "Tai Chi", there is a high degree of discussion in China," Tong Liya smiled. Originally, she was only a small actor, but now her popularity has suddenly risen.

Afterwards, Simon hugged Tong Liya affectionately and kissed at the window.

Simon, who stayed in Beijing, can no longer stay idle. After all, Simon is investing more and more in China now.

Some of the business of Xinghai Entertainment must be dealt with, so it must be met with the person in charge of China Film and other aspects.

Beijing, HD District, the headquarters of Galaxy Culture and Entertainment Company.

Tong Liya and Zeng Jia are chatting about the company's business in the office.

"The sitcom "Love Apartment" we invested in was launched on Jiangxi Satellite TV, and it has a good reputation and ratings, and the comedy movie "Night Club" that we invested in earned 8 million yuan at the box office in a week," Zeng Jia said with a happy face. Love Apartment" has just been released, and according to word of mouth, the ratings will definitely be higher.

As for "Night Club", although it is only a new director, Xu Zheng's investment, the cost is only 2.4 million yuan.

"It's great!" Tong Liya smiled, and then she thought of something.

"Well, Yang Mi is very popular now, will she come to our Galaxy Culture?" Tong Liya asked. After all, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" just aired this year has high ratings, and Yang Mi is the heroine in it!

"Yes, it's been agreed, her contract with Rong Xinda expires next year, Rong Xinda doesn't have very good resources now, and the leading "Dream of Red Mansions" has been receiving negative reviews, and the film aspect is basically not involved. ," Zeng Jia said with a smile, Yang Mi will definitely come, there are currently no heavyweight stars in Galaxy Culture.

Tong Liya has already appeared in Chinese and American blockbusters. There is no shortage of resources to know big people. Galaxy Culture can focus on cultivating Yang Mi.

"That's good, by the way, didn't you have the copyright of some novels that you were optimistic about before? We should buy them back as soon as possible, and then adapt them into film and television works ourselves," Tong Liya said again, after all, Simon also suggested so.

"Yes, there are several," Zeng Jia said, taking out a document and handing it to Tong Liya.

Tong Liya looked at it, and it was indeed the introduction of several novels.

"Startling step by step", traveled through? There is also "The Queen of the World", a court drama...

"Is it okay?" Tong Liya asked. The novel is quite popular, but I don't know what will happen after the adaptation.

"So we need to find a film and television company with this type of production experience to cooperate, so as to ensure the ratings," Zeng Jia is also an agent after all, and lacks experience in film and television production.

"Okay, but we also need to focus on cultivating newcomers to the company. In terms of movies, if you have a good script, you can continue to invest, as long as the cost is not high." Tong Liya has spent a lot of time since she opened the Galaxy Entertainment Company. learn this knowledge.

As long as TV dramas are not too shoddy and the ratings are too low, it is not easy to lose money; if the movie is different, if the box office is not good, it will lose money quickly.

"Yes, there is a comedy movie about the story of the Spring Festival. Hong Kong director Ye Weimin, one of the main actors is also Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng found us and hoped to continue investing," Zeng Jia responded. This time, we didn't make a decision so quickly. After all, this time But more than 2 million.

"What do you think of the story? Xu Zheng should be good, right? The box office of "Nightclub" has already reached 8 million. How much investment is needed?" Tong Liya asked.

"I think it's okay. The script is very down-to-earth, but I don't know how the box office will be after it is released. The total investment is about 7 million yuan. Wuhan Huaqi Film and Television is the producer who can invest 2 million yuan," Zeng Jia explained. This means that Galaxy Culture and Entertainment needs to invest 5 million.

"Then, why don't you vote, I think Xu Zheng is very talented in comedy," Tong Liya now estimates that her appetite has grown, and 5 million yuan doesn't feel much.

"By the way, can you sign Xu Zheng to our company, so that it will be more convenient to cooperate?" Tong Liya suggested, but Xu Zheng is a long-established TV star, and I don't know if the old brokerage company will let them go.

"I'll give it a try, then we will continue to vote for this Xu Zheng's film?" Zeng Jia was not sure to dig Xu Zheng over, after all, Galaxy Culture and Entertainment is just a new company.

"Well, we have invested in Galaxy Culture, and we will make our own movies in the future," Tong Liya said with anticipation. The company will find screenwriters, directors, and actors to develop it.

Zeng Jia nodded, Galaxy Culture also has its own advantages, right? Hollywood Xinghai International Pictures is also a shareholder of the company, and Xinghai International Cinema now has more than a dozen multi-room complex cinemas in China!
