Chapter 128: 4 Major Sponsors Who Poached Wang Jinghua's Partners
Chapter 128 Four Major Sponsors Who Poached Wang Jinghua's Partners
The role of Jiang Yuyan was not tailor-made for Yang Xue.
Initially, this role was prepared for Li Xiaozai.
Li Xiaoran even attended the press conference for the start of filming of "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws", but was unable to participate for unknown reasons, and Yang Xue was temporarily invited to replace her.
Director Wang Jing was initially not optimistic about Yang Xue, believing that her eyes were too big and she looked too weak, making it difficult for her to portray Jiang Yuyan's wolf poison.
However, Yang Xue was not discouraged. Instead, through continuous observation and practice, she created an unforgettable villainous character in her own way.
Through her nuanced acting skills, she successfully transformed Jiang Yuyan, originally a supporting character, into the leading lady of the drama.
Jiang Yuyan has become Yang Xue's most classic role, without exception.
"Your contract is expiring. Do you want to come to [Nanhua Film & Television]? Our company offers very good benefits," Zhou Yan began to poach talent.
"Why?" Yang Xue asked curiously.
I'm not some big star, it doesn't have to be like this.
"For no reason, just because you're pretty," Zhou Yan said, staring at Yang Xue in front of him.
Yang Xue's face immediately flushed, and her eyes became somewhat evasive.
"He's just talking nonsense," Yang Xue's heart pounded wildly.
Zhou Yan's words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples to spread across Yang Xue's heart.
If someone else had said that, Yang Xue definitely wouldn't have reacted so strongly; she would probably have just laughed it off.
But Zhou Yan is different.
She truly liked Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan also talked about her own experiences, and the two became more and more engrossed in their conversation, gaining a deeper understanding of each other.
"Alright, it's getting late, we should head back," Zhou Yan said, glancing at the time on his wristwatch.
"Yeah, the dorms will close soon if it gets any later," Yang Xue said. Unlike Zhou Yan, she needed to go back to her dorm.
Zhou Yan did not escort Yang Xue back to her dormitory; the two parted ways at the school gate.
Zhou Yan walked toward the "motorcycle" parked by the roadside.
This motorcycle was a birthday gift from Li Binbin—a Suzuki Bandit King.
The red and blue color scheme and streamlined body make it extremely beautiful.
Zhou Yan loved this birthday gift and even spent money to buy a Beijing license plate (京A).
Li Binbin's birthday gift truly touched Zhou Yan's heart.
Zhou Yan and Yang Xue had not been drinking, so it did not affect their ability to drive.
Zhou Yan put on a helmet and protective suit.
"Where to?" Zhou Yan pondered for a moment.
I spent some time with Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen recently, and I'll be filming with Binbin in a while; I have plenty of time.
"Let's go to Sister Binbin's place," Zhou Yan said, riding his motorcycle directly to where Li Binbin lived.
In November, "My Sassy Girl" became a sensation throughout East and Southeast Asia.
Pirated CDs appeared on the market and their spread became increasingly widespread.
Its influence on China is also growing.
It was around this time that some posts appeared on the Chinese internet.
These posts were continuously published on Tianya Forum, blogs, and other platforms.
The Chinese version of "My Sassy Girl" is currently being filmed.
The article points out that China Film Group, Emperor Entertainment, and Nanhua Film & Television are currently filming a Chinese version of "My Sassy Girl," with an investment of up to 100 million yuan.
This article attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was published.
"expect."
"I really hope it gets filmed soon."
-
"By the way, when will 'The World's Finest' be released?"
"have no idea."
"My uncle works at Dragon TV, and Dragon TV has bought the rights to 'The World's Number One' and will release it on New Year's Day."
"I don't know about the quality."
"You'll see when you see it."
More and more netizens are joining the discussion.
This article was not written by anyone else; it was written and published by staff members of [Nanhua Film and Television].
The purpose is clear—to ride the wave of popularity.
With "My Sassy Girl" being so popular, it's natural to want to ride its coattails.
At this time, Zhou Yan and Fan Binbin had already gone to Hong Kong to film.
They filmed the scenes in Hong Kong first, and then went abroad to film on location.
With China Film Group as a backer and prior contact made overseas, there were not many obstacles.
To ensure a high degree of fidelity to the script, a lot of preparation was done in the early stages.
The production team even invested in purchasing a villa as the residence for the male and female leads.
Furthermore, the villa underwent some upgrades and renovations, equipping the entire villa with high-end artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
In 2002, "Resident Evil" was released, and the level of technology in it was quite good, with not only various security mechanisms but also artificial intelligence control.
Zhou Yan's goal for "The Assassin Couple" was precisely this: to showcase cutting-edge technology.
The downside is that it costs a lot.
However, with an investment of 100 million yuan, the actors' salaries accounted for only a small portion of the total budget, and the majority of the remaining funds were used for the film's production.
They can afford it.
In addition to being equipped with artificial intelligence, Zhou Yan also specially customized a high-end computer and a "smartphone".
Of course, this smartphone is definitely fake; current technology and capabilities are insufficient to manufacture smartphones.
However, Zhou Yan could first propose this concept and then present it through a film.
What's even more outrageous is that, apart from the different trademarks, Zhou Yan completely copied the appearance of the future Fruit 4.
One day, when the iPhone is born, when people look back at "The Assassin Couple," they will sincerely exclaim, "Damn, it's exactly the same!"
People even say that the iPhone copied the concept from "Assassin Couple".
Steve Jobs and his team simply brought the plot of the movie to life.
In addition to smartphones, Zhou Yan also showcased many high-tech instruments and technological products in "The Assassin Couple".
The aim is to export China's science and technology culture in a reverse direction and promote China's technological level in a positive way.
Although many people know it's fake.
But even just proposing a concept is incredibly impressive.
In addition, Zhou Yan specially made a series of costumes for Fan Binbin and others.
Fan Binbin's performance in "Assassin Couple" is more like a "fashion show".
The exquisite clothing worn by Fan Binbin was visually striking.
Zhou Yan also had suits and other clothing made for herself.
In addition to Nanhua Film & Television, Yinghuang Entertainment, and China Film Group, Zhou Yan also secured four other sponsors.
They are Dior, Changyu Wine, Haier Group, and Mercedes-Benz.
Zhou Yan and Fan Binbin's outfits were all sponsored by Dior, which also personally contributed five million yuan.
Changyu Wine paid three million yuan in GG fees.
Haier Group, with its deep pockets, not only sponsored a complete set of home appliances but also sponsored eight million yuan in GG fees.
Haier Group highly values the "smart home" concept proposed by Zhou Yan.
In their view, this concept alone is worth eight million.
Mercedes-Benz also invested in Zhou Yan, symbolically investing four million yuan, and agreed that Mercedes-Benz would provide vehicles free of charge wherever they were needed in the film.
Of course, Zhou Yan's efforts were not in vain. In addition to the film investment increasing by 20 million and his funds becoming more readily available, he also received a villa for free.
The three companies agreed that after filming wrapped, the villa where the filming took place would be left to Zhou Yan as his personal property.
This villa was purchased with investment money and is jointly owned by three families.
However, China Film Group is a state-owned enterprise, so Han Shanping could not obtain it; Yang Shoucheng of Yinghuang was not short of money, and Zhou Yan brought in 20 million yuan in sponsorship, so China Film Group and Yinghuang did a favor by leaving the villa to Zhou Yan as a reward for bringing in 20 million yuan.
After some initial refusal, Zhou Yan accepted the offer.
This villa is not cheap; it is located in Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong, and costs over 30 million.
In a few years, it will definitely be worth over 100 million.
It's important to understand that Hong Kong's property market at that time was in a slump following the 1997 Asian financial crisis, with property prices falling sharply and market supply exceeding supply.
There are no restrictions on buying a house now, and the prices are cheap, making it a great investment.
