So, under everyone's suspicious eyes, Fang Tianfeng took out his mobile phone and called Director Hong, whom he had had dinner with at Yuanjiang Tower. At that time, Fang Tianfeng had calculated that Director Hong would soon be promoted to deputy director Hong.
Director or deputy director, deputy department level. Director Hong was then a director of the Film Administration Bureau under the State Council's State Administration of Radio and Television, and should now be promoted to deputy director of the Film Administration Bureau.
"Master Fang, why do you have time to call me?" The voice on the other side was extremely warm and familiar, as if he was a friend for many years. It was impossible to tell that the two parties had just had a meal together.
"Director Hong, no, I should call you Director Hong now, right? Did I say that right at the time?"
"Master Fang has a sharp eye and is absolutely right."
"I may go to the capital with my friends after the New Year, so don't pretend you don't know me then."
"Look at what you said, I paid for all your expenses for coming to the capital! Oops, I was so excited by you that I almost fell into your trap. I'm in charge of the fare and food, and I don't have a penny for the rest."
Deputy Director Hong had a slight Beijing accent, and both parties immediately started laughing.
Most of the people at the dinner table couldn't understand what Fang Tianfeng meant, but they all understood that Director Hong in the capital was definitely not an ordinary director.
The director Tan and the producer opened their eyes wide. Both of them need to know the news about the film industry. Naturally, the first director and two deputy directors of the National Film Administration, which is in charge of films, have to pay attention at all times. Both of them know about film management.
The bureau also has a new deputy director named Hong.
They also all know that when speaking in front of deputy officials, such as the deputy mayor or deputy director, the word "vice" is usually removed. Only when the official official is present or not in front of him, the word "vice" can be added. Both of them guessed that Fang Tianfeng said
Director Hong is probably that Deputy Director Hong.
The two chatted for a while, and Fang Tianfeng changed the topic and said, "I am investing in a movie now, and you will never guess who the collaborator is. It is the famous beauty Xu Rou."
"Those who invest in movies are all big bosses. Now, I can save money on transportation and meals." Deputy Director Hong said with a smile.
"I also want you to save the money, but I'm in trouble. Xu Rou and I are trying to get Huang Bo to be the leading actor in our new movie. However, Huang Bo has been having a bit of trouble lately. The new movie he just finished filming is stuck.
He said that the people from the 'Film Censorship Board' thought it was too violent and bloody. If this matter is not resolved, he will not be able to participate in my new film. You said, if he does not come to perform, if the film I made loses all, I will have to go to Beijing to find him.
You pay for the car and food." Fang Tianfeng said with a smile.
"I am also the deputy director of the 'Film Review Committee'. I have seen Huang Bo's new film. It is quite good. There should be no big problems. I wish your film a big hit in advance." Deputy Director Hong expressed his attitude.
, but because it involves the power of one’s own position, it is not very direct.
"With Deputy Director Hong's good advice, the new film will definitely be a hit. When the film premieres, if you are not busy, come and see it and have a meal together," Fang Tianfeng said.
"No problem, I will definitely be there." Deputy Director Hong's answer was very direct.
The two parties chatted for a few words and ended the call.
Fang Tianfeng put away his phone, looked at Huang Bo and said with a smile, "Just wait for the news."
Although Huang Bo didn't know who Director Hong was, he knew that his status must be extraordinary. He said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Fang."
Director Tan forced a smile and asked: "Master Fang, is the Director Hong you are talking about the new Deputy Director Hong of the Film Administration Bureau?"
"Yes. He went to Yunhai a few days ago, and several of our friends had dinner together." Fang Tianfeng said.
Others didn't know who Deputy Director Hong was, but after the two people asked and answered, everyone knew that the Film Administration Bureau is the competent authority of Chinese films! If you want to get involved in the film industry, no matter how hard you go around, you can't get around it.
This big mountain!
Everyone looked at Fang Tianfeng carefully again, wondering what kind of stupid young man he was. He was basically a big shot with money on his left hand and power on his right hand. No wonder he was so confident despite not knowing anything. He could talk directly to the deputy director of the Film Administration Bureau.
And one phone call can solve a problem that the entire film company is helpless about. This relationship is obviously extraordinary!
Not only can this kind of people not afford to offend, but if they want to be successful in the film industry, they must be ingratiated with them!
Everyone seemed to have picked up a million dollars, with smiles on their faces, and their fiery eyes made the temperature in the private room rise rapidly.
Huang Bo was secretly glad that he had made the right choice. He thought that even though he was the Golden Horse Best Actor, let alone the deputy director of the Film Administration, even a bigger male star or even a director with a little status could make him suffer a lot. Offending seniors in the entertainment industry
Then there are too many people who have lost their futures due to the manipulation, not to mention offending the leaders of the film authorities.
Fang Tianfeng, who used to be relatively cold when talking about the director, felt as if his bones had been ripped away. He no longer had the airs he had just met. Fang Tianfeng was so enthusiastic that Master Fang had goosebumps every time he listened to it.
Huang Bo was a little better. Among the other famous actors who came, the youngest was three years older than Fang Tianfeng, and the oldest was twenty years older than Fang Tianfeng. When he opened his mouth, it was Brother Fang. Fortunately, Fang Tianfeng was used to being called by honorifics. If not,
If you are used to it, you will definitely spit out a sip of wine.
The others all have higher status than the actors and still call him Master Fang. After all, Huang Bo is going to star in Fang Tianfeng's movie, so the relationship has become closer, so he only calls him Master Fang, and occasionally the boss.
Although Fang Tianfeng knew Deputy Director Hong, he didn't know much about the "Film Review Board", so when the topic came up, he asked casually.
Everyone knows that Fang Tianfeng is an outsider, but now no one dares to express objections or even think about it.
Xu Rou answered with a smile: "The film censorship committee mainly reviews whether the content of the film is suitable for release, and controls the life and death of Chinese films."
"What position should Deputy Director Hong hold there?" Fang Tianfeng asked.
Xu Rou replied: "The highest status of the Film Review Committee is a director and two deputy directors. The rest are ordinary members and special members. In fact, the directors are all served by the director of the Film Administration Bureau, and the two directors of the Film Administration Bureau
The deputy director will also serve as the deputy director, and some officials of the Film Administration will serve as members concurrently and are also responsible for review. As for other members and special committee members, they are people from all walks of life, including directors and editors in the film industry, relevant scholars and professors, and
There are officials from other relevant units. In short, this committee is a department that must be unclogged for those of us in the film industry."
"So that's it." Fang Tianfeng thought to himself that this is a bit like two brands with one team, at least the leadership team is the same group of people.
The person who was talking about the director said: "Master Fang, I see that the new film you have invested in has not yet chosen a director. My film is about to be completed. How about I join your crew as the director? We are all friends. I will not take any dividends, but only the salary.
I only take half, what do you think?"
Everyone was moved by this, thinking that it was no wonder that this director became a famous director. In addition to being good at making movies, his eyesight and waist strength were extraordinary. He was so flexible and flexible. The salary was small, but if he could reach such a big shot, he would need money in the future.
If you have money and power, becoming a top director is not a dream.
Fang Tianfeng glanced at Xu Rou, and Xu Rou felt troubled. After all, she was still an actress, and she could not offend the director by offending anyone.
Fang Tianfeng took the initiative and said: "What we are shooting this time is a comedy, which slightly conflicts with Director Tan's style, and we will start filming soon, which will conflict with Director Tan's current movie. Let's see, when I invest in martial arts blockbusters in the future, I will definitely
Let’s consider talking about guidance first.”
Director Tan immediately beamed and offered Fang Tianfeng a drink.
Fang Tianfeng silently thought to himself, your new film is doomed to fail miserably and has no chance.
Those actors also said that they could play supporting roles in the new movie for free, and there would be no problem with making guest appearances. Fang Tianfeng smiled and said that they could consider it.
When the conversation got lively, a male star who has become popular in the past two years smiled and said: "Brother Fang, you are a busy man. I am lucky to meet you today. I don't know if I will have the chance to meet again in the future. You
Can you let me take a photo with you so that I can soak up your fairy spirit?"
Fang Tianfeng was stunned, what is going on? Others are taking photos with celebrities, why did this star take photos with me?
A female star immediately gave Fang Tianfeng a wink, and Jiao Didi said: "Master Fang, please take a photo with me too."
Fang Tianfeng thought to himself that he was not the kind of master who used photos to show off his connections in order to gain fame and reputation. Besides, other masters might be proud to take photos with celebrities and then hang them at home to show off their low-key glamour, but Master Fang didn't need that.
Xu Rou knew very well that Fang Tianfeng was not very greedy for fame, so she smiled and complained: "Master Fang doesn't like taking pictures the most. When it comes to taking photos, I also have a little knot in my heart. We have known each other for so long, but he has never taken the initiative to take photos with me.
, they are even less interested in my autograph.”
Huang Bo joked: "This is unscientific. He is indifferent to Xu Dabei. Master Fang, is it possible that the family is very strict?"
Xu Rou didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, she said with a smile: "He is not married, but he has a lot of women. I have been to his house, and the scene was really amazing. I almost could have made "Seven Fairies"."
Fang Tianfeng glanced at Xu Rou helplessly and said, "I'm quite busy. I don't know when I will come to the studio next time. Let's take a group photo together."
When Fang Tianfeng said this, the actor and actress who asked for a photo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Fang Tianfeng refused directly, the two of them would have no shame in staying here.
So, everyone took a group photo together.
Everyone chatted until eleven o'clock in the evening before leaving. Most of them were a little excited. After leaving, they took out their mobile phones as soon as possible, or told their friends, or told the people they needed to curry favor with, asking them to find ways to participate in Fang Tianfeng's new movie.
.
Money is not a problem, and the official channels are smooth, with the kind of treatment that only the top major film companies in the country can have. This means that Fang Tianfeng and Xu Rou's new film company has huge development potential.
Xu Rou still maintained the reserve of a big star on the surface, but some subtle expressions betrayed her heart. She thought Fang Tianfeng was just a local snake in Dongjiang, but she didn't expect that he could reach out to the capital. No wonder she dared to show up even though she didn't understand anything.
Being involved in the film industry and having such a deep relationship with the deputy director of the Film Administration, I definitely have the ability to thrive in the film industry.
If the deputy director continues to be promoted in the future and takes up an important leadership position in the State Administration of Radio and Television, Fang Tianfeng's position in the film industry will be even stronger.
Thinking of this, Xu Rou smiled slightly, thinking that she was really lucky to meet a good and noble person like Master Fang at the most dangerous time. (To be continued.)
