Zhang Yimou had a lot of power and responsibility in the Beijing Olympics ceremony. Although he was busy and made some minor mistakes, it was still the peak of his personal career. So it is inevitable that some people would not dare to report problems to him.
, but Wang Ai is different.
Hearing Zhang Yimou's words, Wang Ai picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, imitating Zhang Yimou's example and squatting on the ground: "You are a wise man who may make mistakes after thinking a lot. I am a fool who may gain something after thinking a lot. I just caught up."
Zhang Yimou chuckled. He didn't eat much, so he barely ate a box and put it down. Before leaving, he patted Wang Ai on the shoulder: "Is your football movie going to be released? Is it called "Style"? Let me know when it is released.
One sound."
Wang Ai said "Okay" and said no more.
The two knew each other six years ago when Zhang Yimou was filming "Hero". After that, Beyond Entertainment relied on its strong publicity and distribution capabilities in the Northeast market to seize 50% of the investment rights in Zhang Yimou's movies from New Picture.
At the beginning, the cooperation between Beyond Entertainment and New Picture was okay. Beyond Entertainment had no ambitions and was too lazy to care about the rights and wrongs of the entertainment industry. But later I discovered that Zhang Weiping was no longer a thing! This guy has a bad mouth and offended his colleagues in the literary and art circles.
After all, he is a businessman and he doesn’t care, but Zhang Yimou can’t do that. So when Zhang Weiping opened his mouth, Zhang Yimou had to go door-to-door with gifts to apologize. No matter how many times Zhang Yimou complained, Zhang Weiping still went his own way, just like this over and over again.
Back and forth! But that's all. The key is that he played tricks with Zhang Yimou. When he asked Zhang Yimou to work, he was nice and deceptive. When the real money was paid, the abacus made a snapping sound, and he was squeezed extremely hard.
For example, "Hero" had a global box office of 1.4 billion. How much did Zhang Yimou get in the end? 300,000.
Although Zhang Yimou's movie is controversial, at least it does not lose money! This means that Zhang Yimou's projects are not short of investors! What about Zhang Weiping? I don't understand if he takes office except for vulgar hype, but does Zhang Yimou's movie need to be hyped? His name itself
It’s the biggest brand!
So this Weiping is a parasite, but this parasite always appears with the face of "Zhang Yimou would not exist without me" and "Zhang Yimou's success depends on me", which disgusts Beyond Entertainment.
Liu An, the general manager of Chaoyue Entertainment, couldn't stand it anymore. With Wang Ai's support, he had a big quarrel with Zhang Weiping. Zhang Weiping was swearing and wanted to play rough. Liu An was afraid of him? He wanted to beat him at that time.
The new picture is nothing but bullshit except for Zhang Yimou, and behind Beyond Entertainment there is also Beyond Group and the even more powerful Northern Light Industry!
After Liu An made such a fuss, Zhang Weiping could no longer deceive him, and he obediently adjusted Zhang Yimou's income ratio according to the market price. After this incident, Zhang Yimou finally saw the true face of his "good buddy". If it weren't for
Then preparations for the Olympics began, and he had already kicked Zhang Weiping out of the water.
Just because someone is honest does not mean that they are stupid. Once they wake up, they will be filled with shame and anger and will never look back. Besides, Beyond Entertainment is the most upright, powerful and kind-hearted domestic entertainment company.
In essence, the pursuit of Beyond Entertainment is different from that of other entertainment companies. Of course, money must be made, but it is not the only purpose. According to Wang Ai's industrial layout assumption, Beyond Entertainment is the voice channel of Wang's enterprise, so for the company's image, artists
He attaches great importance to his image, otherwise he would not have hired Chen Daoming as the Minister of Discipline.
Therefore, the real relationship between Wang Ai and Zhang Yimou is actually very close, but it is not enough for outsiders to know, and there is no need to announce it. But it is precisely because of this close private relationship that Zhang Yimou tolerates Wang Ai's "picking three"
Pick four" and finally found a big loophole.
Apart from the issue of the flagpole, there was nothing else, and Wang Ai didn't care about anything else. So we walked through it twice more in the afternoon, and the rehearsal was declared complete.
Wang Ai temporarily returned to the Olympic Village to wait for the closing ceremony to begin. At 8 p.m., Wang Ai and the Chinese Olympic team entered the venue together with the Chinese Olympic team in formal attire. Then, Wang Ai quietly left the team and went backstage to change into a white dress.
As soon as the staff said hello, Wang Ai picked up the flagpole and came out holding the flag.
It wasn't until he walked onto the stage and his face was illuminated by the camera for several seconds, especially after the Mayor of London took the initiative to raise his hand to say hello, that the audience across the country noticed in surprise that it was him.
During the whole process, apart from giving a smile in response, Wang Ai acted in a well-behaved and honest manner. After a few seconds of the program, he left the stage, which seemed ordinary. As for how the outside world interprets it and what the audience thinks, then let it be.
It's up to you. As the same saying goes, if you understand, you will understand naturally. If you don't understand, don't explain.
After exiting the stage, Wang Ai did not wait for the rest of the process, nor did he watch the extinguishing of the sacred flame. Instead, he changed his clothes and walked directly out of the Bird's Nest and got into the van waiting for him.
"Where to go?" Yan Zhu asked while driving the vehicle.
"Go home, Dongcheng District." Wang Ai looked out the window and breathed a sigh of relief.
Until then, his Beijing Olympics was completely over. Sitting in the car, Wang Ai put his chin on one hand and looked at the street outside the window while wandering around. The Olympics was a large machine, in which he played a small part.
From the torch relay in London to the preparations for the competition in Xianghe, from the one-year training in Tübingen to Shenyang, the six games in Beijing, from the entrance ceremony of the closing ceremony to the flag bearer, there are all kinds of things, and it is quite long.
Like many people, he was also worried. It was not until he recalled that he found nothing wrong that he let out a long sigh of relief.
It's a good beginning and a good end, right? That's right.
Today I have to meet my parents when I get home. In the next ten days, he will be busy with the Olympic team and his own business affairs, so he may not have time to have an in-depth talk with his parents.
"Why are we accompanying him?" Wang Bin sipped tea in the study room at home: "We are not only representatives of the players' families, but also the largest 'financiers'. Don't forget, the young people of Tuebingen, it's the money I spent."
Wang Ai was stunned for a moment, then he was convinced: "I forgot about it, I always thought it was mine."
Ai Xiaoqing played with Wang Ai's gold medal: "I heard that the leader went to visit you after the game?"
Wang Ai told his parents about his conversation with the leader in detail. Wang Bin and Ai Xiaoqing thought about it for a while, and Wang Bin finally said: "It's okay. Chinese athletes, no matter how famous they are, can't imitate European and American athletes."
.If the country is unhappy, the people will not accept it."
Ai Xiaoqing put down the gold medal: "After this Olympics, your reputation has reached a new level, and you have become a big star. Have you figured out what to do?"
Wang Ai frowned and thought about it: "Next step, I plan to start from two aspects. The specific idea is this..."
