Chapter 594 Chinese version of "The Old Man and the Sea"(1/2)
Lin Chaoyang turned his head and laughed, "Jiang Shan, how about it? Are you still adapting to staying in Xiangjiang?"
"The colleagues in the company are very caring and are very adaptable." Jiang Shan replied, and said hello to Xie Jin: "Hello Uncle Xie!"
Xie Jin asked: "Are you Jiang Shan from the Yan family of Jianghuai?"
"yes."
"Why did you come to Hong Kong?"
Lin Chaoyang explained to Jiang Shan: "There is a female second-teacher in a movie that suits her very well, so let her come over to play and watch it."
Jiang Shan casts gratitude to Lin Chaoyang.
Xie Jin nodded, "Xiao Jiangshan's conditions are really good. She acts well. Maybe she will be Gong Li again in the future."
Jiang Shan was a little confused by Xie Jin's praise, "Uncle Xie, you have won the award. I haven't even acted in a movie."
"Take it slow, don't worry."
Lin Chaoyang asked Jiang Shan again: "When will the filming of your drama start?"
"Next month, Leslie Cheung's schedule will be too full, so she will be training in the company during this period."
In the mainland, actors are actors. After a professional college graduate like Jiang Shan can act directly after joining a professional troupe. Even if it is a supporting actor, it is also called acting.
But in Xiangjiang, many newcomers start with training class students, in addition to learning and practicing acting skills.
The cultivation of social etiquette, hair and hair skills and other skills is also indispensable.
Lin has also signed some artists in recent years. The principle is that the essence is not expensive, and the training is much higher than the TVB actor training class.
The whole process of acting, music, dance, styling, fitness, and public relations is aimed at cultivating superstars.
Jiang Shan talked about her experience in visiting Xiangjiang for more than half a month, and she looked very excited. For her, all her experiences and experiences these days were fresh.
In addition to language, diet and other aspects, she is very satisfied with everything she is now.
"That's good. Yushu and I will treat Lao Xie to dinner tonight, so you can go together.

Jiang Shan was not willing to attend such a party at a young age, but she noticed the subtle expressions of Lin's employees not far away, and immediately understood Lin Chaoyang's intention. Uncle Lin was afraid that she would be bullied in Xiangjiang, so she was giving her
Support it.
"Okay, thank you Uncle Lin."
Jiang Shan and Lin Chaoyang chatted for a while before leaving. Lin Chaoyang and Xie Jin ran to the conference room to listen to the report.
The box office and overseas copyright operation of Red Cliff War.
The massive release of "The Battle of Red Cliff" is mainly concentrated in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Other countries outside this are basically operating in the form of copyright buyouts.
Compared with the huge box office revenue in East Asia, Southeast Asia, this part of the benefits are very low, currently only 350
Hong Kong dollars, which also indirectly confirms that the largest audience of the IP "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is still in the Confucian cultural circle.
"Can this computer game sell so well?"
Xie Jin pointed to the slide projection, his face full of strangeness.
The game of the same name in "The Battle of Red Cliff" was developed by Sugar Games and was launched before the New Year. With the popularity of movies in the Confucian cultural circle, its sales performance is good.
In the three months of issuance, the cumulative sales reached 560,000 units, of which the Japanese market performed the most, contributing nearly half of the sales.
The sales of a single game amounted to HK$112 million, setting the best result of Sugar Games so far and laying a solid foundation for the internationalization of Sugar Games.
A few days ago, Yulang Institution announced the sales performance of "The Battle of Red Cliff", and the stock price rose by 5.2%.
"It's the linkage effect, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very influential in East Asia, Southeast Asian countries themselves.

Xie Jin exclaimed, "In business, there are still too many leading Hong Kong movies."
Xie Jin is one of the earliest directors in China to awaken business concepts and market economy awareness. He is dissatisfied with the current situation where the literary and artistic circles can only rely on state funding.
It is believed that people in the literary and artistic circles should change their ideas and establish awareness of the commodity economy. They have repeatedly called for it in the media and in public, but unfortunately they are useless.
"The United States is still far from it, and it still needs to work hard," said Tao Yushu.
After talking about the operation of the film copyright, Tao Yushu called the finance department, and the black suitcase fell heavily on the table.
Tao Yushu directly opened the suitcase, and a whole box of gossip red came into view. Xie Jin couldn't help but shrink his pupils and breathe stagnated.
"The Battle of Red Cliffs made a lot of money for Lin, and everyone has a share, and this share is yours," said Tao Yushu.
A heartbeat flashed in Xie Jin's eyes, but soon returned to Qingming Festival. "I have received my reward, which is not suitable."
Xie Jin is the head of Superstar Pictures, which is one of the investors in "The Battle of Red Cliff", so Xie Jin naturally needs to avoid suspicion.
"I say it's appropriate, it's appropriate. This is a red envelope, and others can't say anything."
Xie Jin still shook his head, "The company has made enough money, this red envelope——"
He hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Forget it."
There are four investors in "The Battle of Red Cliff", namely Lin's Pictures, Xiangjiang Times Pictures, China Film Cooperative Production Company and Shanghai Superstar Pictures.
Because there are many investors and the contracts are relatively complex, in summary, Lin's Pictures occupies nearly 80% of the film's revenue because it occupies the majority of investment, the advantages of production team and overseas distribution channels.
The remaining 20% of the money is shared by Times Pictures, Co-production and Superstar Pictures, but even so, it has already made several companies make a lot of money.
Superstar Films initially invested 2 million yuan in "The Battle of Red Cliff", earning nearly 5.5 million yuan in return.
This number is inconspicuous for Lin's Pictures, but for Superstar Pictures and Shanghai Film Studios, it is a rainfall from the sky.
Domestic film studios have always lost money when investing in movies, but Superstar Film has made a big profit in investing in "The Battle of Red Cliff".
It is definitely rare in the domestic film industry. During this period, Shanghai Film Studios were excited and felt that they had found a shortcut to the path of marketization.
"The company is a company, and an individual is an individual. If you follow the rules of Lin's Pictures, you will get more than this.
It is because of your special situation that I said this is a red envelope.
You are filming outdoors all year round, so you can treat this money as a way to improve your living conditions for your family."
When talking about family members, Xie Jin was silent.
It is no exaggeration to say that his achievements in film career stand at the top of this country and even Asia, but behind this is his long-term neglect and debt to his family.
He and his wife have three sons and one daughter. Except for the eldest son, they are healthy, the remaining three children have some intellectual defects.
Xie Jin has earned a lot of money for many years, but his family's financial situation has always been unoptimistic.
During the filming of "The Battle of Red Cliff", his son Asan passed away and he only stopped working for three days.
Tao Yushu mentioned his family and saw Xie Jin silently, she said, "Let's do this, I'll call your factory to explain the situation, and it's a special reward from our Lin Family Pictures.
"The Battle of Red Cliff" earned our company 300 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office alone. I would like to reward you, a hard-working director, and no one can say anything."
Tao Yushu's thoughtful arrangements made people unable to find any fault. Xie Jin finally bowed to her and Lin Chaoyang, "Then I'm ashamed of taking the lead!"
"There is no pressure. You don't know Lin's rules. As long as the movies are big, the directors, screenwriters and starring actors, everyone will be able to pay dividends.
The old Chen boy made a movie "Farewell My Concubine" and he got more money than you.
You uncle still have to work hard.”
Lin Chaoyang's jokes made the atmosphere in the office relax, and Xie Jin also let go of his psychological burden.
In the evening, Lin Chaoyang chose the reception location at Hangzhou Restaurant.
He found Li Hanxiang and Wu Siyuan to accompany him. Since the reform and opening up, they have had many exchanges with the mainland film industry and are also acquaintances with Xie Jin.
Another thing is Jiang Shan, a young man. She came to the party just to be a diner and gain some experience.
Listening to the elders talking about Xiangjiang and various strange stories in the mainland film industry, she felt that she was very eye-opening today.
This trip is worth it.
Of course, what made her even more excited was the movie pay and dividends mentioned by everyone.
A big-selling movie is worth millions of Hong Kong dollars. Jiang Shan, who has lived in Yan Film Studio since childhood, realized for the first time that movies are such a profitable job. She couldn't help but feel her future acting career full of longing.
More than half a month later, Du Feng led Chen Lan into Villa No. 75, Shenshuiwan.
Chen Lan just retired last month and transferred to Yanjing Public Security Bureau, otherwise she would not be able to leave the country.
Her and Du Feng’s wedding date is scheduled during the National Day. This time, Du Feng came to Xiangjiang to buy some jewelry.
Du Feng is now rich, so of course he can't get shabby when getting married.
"Where did you buy a wedding house?" Tao Yumo asked him.
"Lijing Garden."
"Tu, I've all gone to the airport."
"What do you know? The location doesn't matter. What matters is that the house is expensive, 10,000 yuan per square meter. Don't care how far I live, who can't say a big money?"
"That's a local rich man."
Tao Yumo said to Chen Lan: "Don't listen to his jewelry when buying it. The aesthetic soil is so fatal. I'll help you with your advice.
