Hollywood New Century

Chapter 230: Of course it helps

China, Zhejiang Hengdian Film and Television City, Zeng Jia, the newly appointed president of Galaxy Culture and Entertainment, came here specially to meet Yang Mi, the little flower that he had brought with him for several years.

At present, Yang Mi is well-known for Guo Xiang in "The Legend of Condor Heroes" two years ago, and is now filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "A Dream of Red Mansions" at the same time.

"Sister Zeng, I heard that you have now become the president of a joint-venture cultural and entertainment company. The news said, are you sure you want to leave Rongxinda?" In a hotel room in Hengdian Film and Television City, a young Yang Mi was asking From Zeng Jia's job-hopping.

"Yes, I was originally going to be an artist director at Mayer Entertainment in Hong Kong. Your contract with Rong Xinda expires next year, and I am also going to transfer you to Mayer Entertainment," Zeng Jia and Yang Mi have a good relationship. Rongxinda does not have any resources at the moment, so it is inevitable to leave.

"However, I suddenly received an invitation from the person in charge of Xinghai Pictures' Asia region. They funded me to set up a cultural and entertainment company. The conditions are very good, and there are executive shares!"

"Xinghe Culture and Entertainment Company, I have seen it, and it seems that there is only one artist in it, called Tong Liya, who is also a shareholder!" Yang Mi said with a smile, it is too obvious, there is capital behind the artist.

"Well, this is not important, Miss Tong Liya has no shortage of resources, and Xinghai Pictures China branch will invest 8 to 10 Chinese films in the past two years, Miss Tong Liya is just a newcomer and has little influence, the main direction is still TV series," Zeng Jia said, looking at Yang Mi's big eyes,

"Last night, I received news that the above has agreed that Galaxy Culture will invest in the historical drama "New Three Kingdoms", 30 million yuan, accounting for 3 floors of the total investment, and I just won the role of Xiao Qiao for Miss Tong!"

"Really? It's true," Yang Mi was envious, but Rong Xinda didn't have such courage, and 30 million RMB was thrown away without blinking an eye.

"Ami, after your contract expires next year, come to Galaxy Culture. Although Tong Liya has someone on it, she has shares. Galaxy Culture is an independent company. The better it develops, Tong Liya will be happy, and she doesn't know the future. Will you always be an actor?" Zeng Jia said and blinked, meaning that now the company has the resources and financial resources to support newcomers.

Yang Mi blinked her eyes, so that she wouldn't offend the artist boss.

"I know, I originally planned to follow you to Meiya Entertainment after the contract expired. Didn't we all agree on Sister Zhao's side? Now, Sister Zeng, you are in Galaxy Culture, and we will all follow you there," Yang Mi said. Said Sister Zhao is Zhao Ruoyao, who has now replaced Zeng Jia as her agent.

"That's good, now your fame is not small, and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is also a popular film and television IP. I believe that your influence will be even greater after the broadcast next year, and the company can focus on cultivating you at that time!" Zeng Jia At present, it is really ambitious, with capital support, investing in a few beautiful projects, and then signing a few more actors to complement each other.

"By the way, do you know who the boss behind the company is? I heard that Xinghai Pictures is very big in Hollywood, and the films it produces are very popular." Who doesn't have the heart to go international, Yang Mi No exception.

Zeng Jia shook his head and said: "I don't know, I haven't seen it before. I guess the big boss doesn't care about such a small company. After all, Xinghai Pictures' main business in China is to open up the market, and now the joint venture studios in several cities are about to prepare. Opened, like the two in Beijing are large multiplex theaters, and one is an iMax giant screen theater, I heard that there is also a new iMax giant screen hall in Shanghai!"

"So, it seems that the big boss really doesn't care about this small company below!" Yang Mi doesn't understand it very well now, it is estimated that someone has paid for Tong Liya.

"Don't think about it too much, let's go eat first, I still have confidence in Galaxy Culture now," Zeng Jia said with a smile.

Of course, Simon, who is far away in Hong Kong, does not know what happened in Hengdian Studios. At this moment, Simon is in the office of the Hong Kong headquarters of Xinghai Films in Tsim Sha Tsui.

"What difficulties did Sony Columbia encounter in preparing to remake The Green Hornet?" Simon asked Zhou Lixian.

"Chinese comedy star Stephen Chow, who previously directed and acted in "Kung Fu", was originally the director of the new version of "The Green Hornet" and the actor of Kato, but it seems that there is no agreement with Colombia on the script adaptation, and he has withdrawn from the project." Zhou Lixian explained.

"I know that "Kung Fu" was invested by Columbia Pictures, and it made a lot of money. Stephen Chow's "Yangtze River No. 7" released this year is also owned by Sony except for the distribution rights outside China. They are indeed optimistic about Stephen Chow!" Of course Simon was clear,

"Zhou Xingchi is in China, just like Jim Carrey in the United States, I know."

"Columbia Pictures is also ready to support Stephen Chow to direct and star in an American kung fu hero movie. American comedian Jack Black and actress Anne Hathaway are very interested in working with Stephen Chow. When DreamWorks' Kung Fu Panda was released this year, , Jack Black, who dubbed the character Po, has expressed more than once that he likes Chinese kung fu movies, he likes Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer" and "Kung Fu" very much, and is looking forward to working with Stephen Chow!" Zhou Lixian continued.

"Jack Black, the fat man, is still well-known in the United States. He is also a good partner with Stephen Chow. Coupled with Anne Hathaway's words, this new kung fu movie is still very marketable," Simon agreed. That "Tai Chi" filming did not start.

"I also think, but it seems that Sony Columbia has given up recently. China Film and Stephen Chow's team are now in contact with other Hollywood film companies. After all, the budget of this new film is not small, and it is aimed at the global market. The Chinese market is definitely not acceptable. " Zhou Lixian said with a smile,

"I met with Mr. Han Sanping, the chairman of China Film, and he really hopes to promote this Sino-US co-production!"

"Interesting, make an appointment, I hope to chat with Han Sanping and Mr. Zhou Xingchi about this movie. The $20 million investment of "Kung Fu" has earned $105 million at the global box office and $17 million in North America. I believe this new movie It won't be bad!" Simon will definitely promote this movie, Sony's "The Green Hornet" should soon find Jay Chou to play Kato.

"The budget is about $60 million, and the film is mainly shot in the United States, which is a bit similar to Bruce Lee's "Dragon Crossing the River," reminded Zhou Lixian.

Simon nodded and smiled: "Sony is not confident, I am confident. I came to China, of course I have to do something!"
