Chapter 195 Hidden Rules and Counterattack

The next thing is simple. With an investment of 10 million yuan, the distribution work after the filming of the film is completely handed over to Kumho Film Group. The cast is completely decided by Feng Xiaogang himself. Fang Mingyuan only suggested a few protagonists to consider.

"Uncle Ge", and at this point, Feng Xiaogang once again reached a "surprisingly" agreement with Fang Mingyuan! For a moment, Feng Xiaogang almost regarded Fang Mingyuan as a confidant - after deciding to take on this script

In an instant, what he thought was that the leading role must be played by "Uncle Ge"!

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan also suggested that if Feng Xiaogang has confidence in himself, then according to international practice, Feng Xiaogang's director's salary will be linked to the box office performance of the film. Of course, if Feng Xiaogang is not willing, Jin

Lake Film Group can also pay Feng Xiaogang the highest salary for a film director in the Chinese film industry. Such favorable conditions can be said to be unique in the domestic film industry.

Feng Xiaogang readily agreed. When Feng Xiaogang called the contact person, Fang Bin gently bumped Fang Mingyuan with his shoulder, lowered his voice and said, "Mingyuan, this Feng Xiaogang is really worthy of you."

Such importance?" What Fang Mingyuan promised Feng Xiaogang was not surprising in Hong Kong or Hollywood, but in the Mainland, it was surprisingly generous.

"It's worth it! It's worth it!" Fang Mingyuan said without hesitation. Although there were some criticisms in Feng Xiaogang's later works, no one is perfect, and not everyone can have a smooth life.

. Don’t those big directors and stars in Hollywood sometimes memorize their words, and their works fail at the box office? On the whole, Feng Xiaogang is still a well-deserved first-class director among Chinese commercial film directors. If he can make it now

He received the offer from Kumho Film Group, which is undoubtedly a very good deal.

Fang Bin touched his chin and had already made up his mind. Since Fang Mingyuan valued Feng Xiaogang so much, he would have to treat Feng Xiaogang differently in the days to come.

At this time, Fang Bin's secretary walked in again and whispered a few words in Fang Bin's ear. Fang Bin's face showed a bit of surprise, and Fang Mingyuan said: "Mingyuan, what happened just now?"

The two siblings have returned from the police station, do you still want to see them?"

Fang Mingyuan looked at Cameron and Gower who were walking through the palaces in the distance. They were very interested in the tall and majestic antique buildings and the imitation Qin utensils displayed in the palace and said: "Let them come over.

Let’s go.” Staying is just staying. Let’s understand the specific situation and think of it as a way to relieve our boredom.

Fang Bin's secretary brought over two more people, siblings Paridei and Kerimu. The two had already finished recording the transcript at the police station. At this time, Kerim no longer looked as unruly as before, and Paridei even more

He looked pitiful.

Of course, Kerimu had already told Paridei secretly the truth of the matter. Although it was precisely because Wu Xingguo secretly took away Kerimu's wallet that Kerimu was spared a possible re-education through labor disaster.

.But the Paridai siblings didn’t know why Fang Mingyuan and the others would help them cover up. Could it be that they had just escaped from the wolf’s mouth and entered the tiger’s den again!

"Sit down!" Fang Mingyang pointed at the chair nearby and said, "You haven't been made any trouble in the police station, right?"

"Thank you both for taking care of us. At the police station, the police officers took great care of us!" Paridei bowed deeply, "If it hadn't been for the help of these two gentlemen, Kerim would have been in trouble today!"

Fang Mingyuan looked at Kerim who was sitting aside with his head lowered and nodded. It seemed that this boy had learned some lessons. "To be honest, stealing is not a solution to the problem, and your brother is in Hengyang Film and Television.

The possession of knives in the city has brought a very bad influence to us. If we had not considered that there was a reason for the incident, and he was still a minor, and we did not want his good youth to be wasted in the correctional center, we would not have extended this hand.

After all, the state has national laws and families have family rules. If you violate the rules, you should be punished."

"But that Long Guokai also violated the rules. He took the money, but he didn't give me the role of sister! He didn't refund the money!" Kerim lowered his head, but was still unconvinced.

"Krimu!" ​​Paridei quickly pinched him and said.

"Krimu, you are right. Long Guokai's behavior does seem to violate the rules. But, do you think these rules can be open and transparent? Will they be protected by national laws? Use money to buy them.

Although I believe that roles are not uncommon in the film and television industry, they cannot be put on the table after all, right? Therefore, in many cases, this kind of thing is just a gamble on luck, betting that the other party will do something after receiving the money! This is

Unspoken rules." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said.

In fact, in Fang Mingyuan's view, giving and receiving bribes are actually two things. Without giving bribes, how can we accept bribes? In China, many times people only focus on taking bribes, but for those who give bribes, they are deliberately

I forgot about it unintentionally. Later, there was even a joke. Leaders who took bribes and sold their officials were already in court, while those officials who paid bribes to get promoted were still sitting on the Diaoyutai and were promoted.

Paridei kicked Kerim hard in the calf who was about to speak again. Kerim was caught off guard and couldn't help but screamed "Ouch".

Fang Mingyuan and Fang Bin's eyes immediately glanced over. Paridai couldn't help but blush, and whispered: "Krimu, shut up! Stop talking nonsense! If you don't obey, I will kill you."

Send him back to Western Xinjiang!" Kerim shrank his neck, lowered his head and said nothing.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, I know it's wrong to bribe the director, and it's even more wrong for Kerim to do this! But I really want to be a formal actor, so I made this move because I had no other choice." There was a look in Paridei's eyes.

Already in tears.

Fang Mingyuan sighed softly. He didn't want to try to figure out whether Paridei liked acting or whether he was interested in acting. There were countless men and women all over the world who liked the feeling of being in the spotlight.

Fang Bin twitched the corner of his mouth. To be honest, after staying in Hong Kong for the past few years, Fang Bin has seen a lot of bribery of directors with money and even beauty to get roles. Although he said he is not used to it, Fang Bin

Bin also understands that it is difficult to prohibit this kind of thing.

How much money can a star earn in a year by acting and making public appearances - such as cutting ribbons for businesses, filming advertisements, acting as spokespersons, etc.? And how much money can an ordinary citizen earn in a lifetime? With this money, maybe he

You won’t be able to earn it in ten lifetimes. For a TV star who can appear in TV shows from time to time, it is not a problem to earn 1.8 million yuan a year. Let’s use millions, which is not very eye-catching among celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Small numbers. If the ordinary people in China, including the vast number of farmers, were included, their per capita annual income in the mid-1990s would probably not have been more than 3,000 yuan. Putting two extremely simplified figures together, we can draw such a clear conclusion:

Even for a second- or third-rate star, his or her annual income is likely to be hundreds of times that of an ordinary citizen.

Such a large income gap has caused the celebrity industry to be more attractive to boys and girls than ordinary professions, enough to attract a huge team of candidates. This can be seen from the fact that every year many beauties and beauties compete for film and television examinations.

The spectacular scene of the academy can be proved.

With such a huge team of candidates, after all, only a few people can enter the film and television industry and truly become famous. With so many monks and so many interests, it is not surprising no matter what happens. It’s Fang Fang.

Bin himself has encountered similar things in the past few years. Hong Kong actors will do whatever they can to get roles. As the core executive of Kumho Film Group, he is naturally a person who fawns over in many ways.

picture.

"This is unfair! Why haven't you heard of this happening in Hollywood, America?" Kerim couldn't help but interjected again.

"Who said there is no such thing in American Hollywood?" Before Fang Mingyuan spoke, someone said behind Kerim.

"Director Feng! Hello!" Paridei quickly stood up and said, the person speaking was none other than Feng Xiaogang.

"No, I've never heard of such things happening to Hollywood movie stars!" Kerim said stubbornly.

Feng Xiaogang shook his head and said: "First of all, just because you haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean that there is no such thing in American Hollywood. Secondly, compared with China, in American Hollywood, this kind of thing is well known to everyone, so it

It's not a 'hidden' rule at all. When everyone knows something and everyone is accustomed to it, once it happens, it will naturally not attract people's attention. Moreover, Americans have different cultures from ours.

People don’t take this kind of thing too seriously.”

As a director, Feng Xiaogang naturally knows more about things in this industry at home and abroad than Kerim.

The crows in the world are as black as black. If there is any difference between American Hollywood and the Chinese film and television industry on this point, it is that in American Hollywood, actors "dedicate themselves" to directors, investors, and agents in exchange for roles. This kind of thing has already

It is a well-known rule. Moreover, in Hollywood, it is not just women who need to pay for their beauty. It can even be said that there is complete equality between men and women. Because in the American film and television industry, it ranks among the major film companies.

, the proportion of homosexuals among the senior people in important positions in the brokerage company is quite high. If you add in the female senior people who may like sister-brother love or even mother-son love, the possibility of male actors needing to "dedicate themselves" is as high as that of women.

The actors can be said to be very different.

Of course, Feng Xiaogang also understands that this does not mean that all Hollywood male and female stars have become famous by selling their bodies, nor does it mean that all Hollywood actors are willing to do so. There are exceptions to everything, and some people

They starred in non-competitive roles, but unexpectedly became famous instantly; some were lucky enough not to encounter a pervert along the way; and some were so talented that they far surpassed other competitors and did not need to worry about it at all.

What does this cost...

However, the proportion of these people in the film and television industry can be said to be very small, and they can only be regarded as exceptions.

Of course, Feng Xiaogang would not explain these words to Kerim, a young man who is not yet a minor.

"How about taking a seat, Director Feng? Everything has been arranged?" Fang Mingyuan said with a genuine smile.

"Everything has been arranged. Important members of the crew will be here in the evening. If nothing unexpected happens, we can start filming next year when the weather gets a little warmer. Lao Ge and I also said hello, next year

There should be no problem with the schedule," Feng Xiaogang said. Fang Mingyuan had just made it clear that this movie was going to be released during the Spring Festival. For him, there is still plenty of time.

"That's great!" Fang Mingyuan clapped his hands and said with a smile. Uncle Ge and Feng Xiaogang are the famous golden partners in the future film industry. With the two of them joining forces, the future box office is fully guaranteed. And Fang Mingyuan

I am confident that after several cooperations, Uncle Ge and Feng Xiaogang will eventually join Kumho Film Group. In this way, the company will have its own, capable big-name directors and stars.

"Director Feng, has the film bureau approved the filming of your new work again, or do you have a new movie coming up?" Paridei asked in surprise.

Feng Xiaogang smiled bitterly and said, "What? You also know?"

"Director Long Guo Kailong mentioned it when he invited people to dinner in the hotel half a month ago, saying... that you... even forming a crew would be useless, and the film bureau would definitely stop it. Talking about your new work

It's hard to reach the level of elegance if you work with a low level of thought..." Paridei said hesitantly. Obviously, what Long Guokai said at that time was more direct, explicit, and uglier than what he said now. Feng Xiaogang's expression was naturally also

It becomes even more ugly.

"Director Feng, how about this. We were originally going to hold a press conference for the arrival of James and the others in the evening. Haha, it can also be regarded as raising the profile of Hengyang Film and Television City. Since both of us have reached a consensus on the new work, then this matter

, we might as well announce it to the public at that time, what do you think?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Mr. Fang, is this okay?" Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but beam with joy, but then hesitantly said. Being able to attend this press conference with Cameron and Gower would undoubtedly be his first appearance in front of a national audience.

opportunities. With Cameron and Gall attending the press conference, you can imagine that the media must be gathered. Everyone is very concerned about when Cameron's new work will be released and whether it will trigger a new round of viewers.

Movie craze.

My cooperation with Kumho Film Group is a high-profile counterattack against Long Guokai and his like! Let them see that the film bureau's rejection of their works will not affect their careers at all!

However, at this press conference, announcing their cooperation with Kumho Film Group at the same time, will Cameron and others be displeased? As well-known figures in Hollywood, Cameron and the others are willing to share what originally belonged to them.

Is it glorious? As far as Feng Xiaogang knows, not all American celebrities are easy to talk to.
