Chapter 67.067
This is an anti-theft seal
Jiang Min picked up her phone and looked at the displayed name. She couldn't help but tremble her wrist and thought to herself, "I'm afraid the one who comes back this time is probably not the God of Wealth, but the God of Decay."
"Sister Liu, good afternoon."
Chen Manqing put down the reader, took his cell phone and answered the phone. The voice was soft but with a bit of unspeakable coldness. The relaxed posture of sitting on the sand became a dangerous place.
"I'm pretty good." Liu Yunxi smiled happily on the other end of the phone: "But... I heard that you don't seem to have a good life recently? Tsk tsk tsk! Go out solo, keep a group of people by yourself, right?"
Chen Manqing intercepted Liu Yunxi's words and said slowly: "I don't understand what Sister Liu said."
"Okay, then I'll say it clearly." Liu Yunxi smiled and said, "I plan to direct a movie recently. I want to invite you to come and take a role..."
"Sister Liu is polite." Chen Manqing's voice also had a smile, but his face was calm and almost cold: "Although Sister Liu is a director now, she is also an actor after all, why not make a guest appearance by herself?"
"I want to play the leading role." Liu Yunxi said enthusiastically: "I heard that you haven't received any other notebooks in your hand, except for live broadcasts... Anyway, I'm idle, so come and help me?"
"Next time." Chen Manqing thought for a while and said, "I'm actually quite busy recently. I'm reading "The Art of War". If Sister Liu has nothing else to do, let's talk about this first..."
He hung up as soon as he said he could. Chen Manqing put his phone on the coffee table, his expression on his face collapsed, and a little irritable emotion appeared in his eyes. He asked Jiang Min: "How are you looking for the script?"
"The best books in the screenwriter circle have basically been booked." Jiang Min said bitterly: "I have been doing online literature these days, but there are very few high-quality works suitable for adapting into movies. Even if there are, the copyright has been hyped up very high, which is what we expected..."
Chen Manqing rubbed his eyebrows and suppressed his annoyance: "Continue to search, so many online articles can always find something that can be used."
"Why don't we change our targets and have fun?" Tao Wei, an agent who has been lying on Changsha, suddenly spoke out: "Don't take a commercial blockbuster for the purpose of winning the award?"
Chen Manqing looked at Tao Wei with three big words hanging on his face - disagree!
"No one of the four major international film awards won." Yusheng paused slightly, and Chen Manqing continued: "The Asia-Pacific Award has not won the Grand Slam yet."
Although I won five Chinese awards, the films I gave were not favored by international awards due to their genre and theme, which led to my running at four major international film festivals every time. I was named "The First Person in Running" by some media.
"Let's make some money first. If you have too much money, you can sign whoever you want, and buy whatever script you want." Tao Wei said casually: "When you rely on your acting skills, what award will you not win?"
Chen Manqing changed his expression of "You are coaxing me" again, then changed the topic and asked, "How are you talking to there?"
Tao Wei turned over and changed into a comfortable position, saying lazily: "Jun Xinzhuo's body is still in the morgue of Nandu Hospital. Her parents and siblings are busy suing the insurance company and the organizers of the Golden Eagle Awards. The company's affairs are all handled by the general manager appointed by Jun Xinzhuo. As for those young actors, filming, variety shows, they have not started much."
"I'm afraid they can't help it." Chen Manqing thought, "It was fine when Jun Xinzhuo was here, with connections, resources, and ability to keep the place. When she left, the company she left was a big fat piece. No one in the entire entertainment industry was jealous."
"No?" Tao Wei finally sat up: "I went to their company for a walk yesterday. Tsk tsk, do you know what I found inside?"
"What's there?"
"The screenwriter team, costume prop team, operation promotion... It's okay." Tao Wei suddenly sat up and raised his voice: "Do you know, I have a game team and a special effects team inside."
Although he didn't understand why a media group wanted to build a game team, Chen Manqing was still a little surprised. He thoughts flashed through his eyes, and soon chose a topic he could continue: "It's not an easy thing to build a special effects team."
"But for Jun Xinzhuo, this is too simple." Tao Wei shrugged, dragged a document from the coffee table, and pushed it to Chen Manqing: "Jun Xinzhuo is like you. He returned to China at the age of 23. After spending a year in the TV industry, he took out 10 million to invest and found Xinzhuo Film and Television Media Co., Ltd.."
Chen Manqing opened the document and listened to Tao Wei continuing: "At that time, Jun Xinzhuo signed a group of students who had just left school. He had a kidnapped a Korean director from somewhere. He only used extremely low costs to create four urban fashion dramas in a year, and earned hundreds of millions of assets."
Chen Manqing knew some of these things, but she was not very clear about the details. At that time, she was working hard in the Hong Kong film industry and was working hard.
"You know, in those years, the entire Chinese TV drama circle was in a downturn. Hong Kong and Taiwan were trying their best to transform, but they never made any more glory. Instead, it was Korean idol dramas that opened up the Asian market." Tao Wei spent more than ten years in the film and television industry, and was most clear about these ups and downs, but it was just like a familiar word: "But the local dramas in Asia's largest ratings store were extremely sluggish, and Jun Xinzhuo fabricated several so-called fashion dramas at this time..."
In that era when Shamatt was rampant and the Zangai family was dominating, Jun Xinzhuo used a group of young and white students to shoot a "fashion" drama, which completely refreshed the aesthetic level of local audiences, and took all the younger generations in the drama shortage, and cultivated them into her faithful ratings.
It is precisely because of this that four dramas sold at a sky-high price of hundreds of millions a year, and then took advantage of the situation to gain local ratings, and divided the world with Korean dramas.
Chen Manqing put down the document and said calmly: "In the next six years, Xinzhuo Film and Television produced a total of 41 TV series and seventeen movies, including thirteen current TV series and movies..."
"Well, just talk about TV series. Movies are the flaws of their company, so they can save some face." Tao Wei coughed, and then returned to the main topic: "Before Jun Xinzhuo's death, Xinzhuo Media was preparing to go public. Of course... it is definitely impossible to go public now, and the company will disband sooner or later. Therefore, we must consider clearly which departments they should buy when they sell."
"It's fine if you can't get it down. The operation team and the special effects team must be taken down." Chen Manqing said in a deep voice: "In the past two years, the Chinese film circle has become less powerful, and a large part of the reason is special effects."
"The special effects team is the core of the entire Xinzhuo Media, and our old boss will probably take action." Tao Wei spread his hands and said, "To be honest, we don't have enough money, and even if we take it down, we can't afford it with our current resources."
Chen Manqing had no choice but to say: "It really doesn't work, reality shows, variety shows, endorsements... as long as it is a program that can make money, I can take it."
"As long as you want, you can easily receive these programs, but this is very unfavorable to your future exhibitions. In the past few years, you won five major Chinese awards, just one step away from Ye Shen and Zhang Huang. If you win two international awards, you will be as famous as it... But now, as the six major actresses in the film industry, you are declining to take on these programs... How do you go abroad in the future? How do you face the world?" Tao Wei advised: "Manqing, you must understand that if it wasn't for raising money, I wouldn't even let you take on live broadcasts."
"I know." Chen Manqing leaned on the sand with some strength: "But Sister Tao, you also know my goal..."
"The superstar of the times! Idol of the century!" Tao Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But Manqing, your strength is acting, and my strength is helping you find acting, helping you to quit prices, and helping you collect money. We don't have the ability of Jun Xinzhuo, and can start high-rise buildings from ruins and make money to become world-famous. What's more, there is Liu Yunxi behind you waiting to grab your tail..."
"Liu Yunxi, don't care about her now." Chen Manqing pursed her lips, stood up from the sand, holding her cell phone and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and said, "Let's find some time the day after tomorrow. Let's go to the hospital to say goodbye to Jun Xinzhuo."
"Huh?" Tao Wei was a little surprised: "You know Jun Xinzhuo? Why have you never heard you talk about it?"
"I know each other, but I'm not very familiar with each other." Chen Manqing recalled hard: "Before going abroad, she joined the same crew as her. Later, she also went abroad to study. By chance, she met several times, and she could barely be considered a friend."
Tao Wei couldn't help asking: "That's it?"
"Of course that's it." Just based on memories alone, Chen Manqing could hardly remember Jun Xinzhuo's appearance: "Sister Tao has known me for so many years, when have you ever seen me contacted her?"
Tao Wei thought about it, but she was still a little worried and reminded: "If it is not necessary, don't let people know that you and her are old acquaintances."
Chen Manqing was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Jun Xinzhuo's fans are all evil/cultural/disciple." Tao Wei took out his mobile phone, opened the browser, searched for the three words "Jun Xinzhuo", and then a large string of news jumped out.
Chen Manqing took Tao Qing's phone and looked at the various news on the screen, and was speechless.
