Liu Jianshe was willing to speak for Wu Jianye, naturally not only because of their brotherhood, but also because Liu Jianshe saw another possibility in Wu Jianye.
That is the relationship between Wu Jianye and the Hong Kong film industry.
The academy and CCTV jointly sent people to study in Xiangjiang before, and there were discussions within the radio and television industry. Many people thought that this was just another useless trip. As a result, Wu Jianye contacted Fengge Entertainment in Xiangjiang, but it was
The people who arranged the domestic inspection were very good.
The report after returning made many people envious. If the domestic film industry and the Hong Kong film industry can form large-scale exchanges, it will be a good political achievement for many people.
This is the reason why Liu Jianshe spoke for Wu Jianye!
After knowing the cause of the matter from Cheng Yin, Wu Jianye finally felt relieved. When he arranged the domestic inspection team to go to Xiangjiang, wasn't he just hoping that he could gain more impression points with senior officials?
The cause you sow now finally gets the fruit you want.
But everything has two sides, there are advantages and disadvantages!
For example, Cheng Yin now told Wu Jianye that the country wants to send a relatively large inspection team there this year, and hopes that Wu Jianye can make this matter a success.
Wu Jianye scratched his head and said: "Dean, it is not a problem to let people go there, but again, Fengge Entertainment is only a small film company in Xiangjiang, and it is impossible to organize a large inspection group to go there.
Even in the past, many directors and actors in Hong Kong will not participate in the symposium, which may be self-defeating!"
It doesn't matter if people let people go by, but it is almost impossible for the inspection team to get the results that the higher-ups want. Only after the market in Wanwan is completely opened can it be possible for the domestic inspection team to get the results they want.
Otherwise, based on the nature of Hong Kong filmmakers, it would be impossible to give the domestic inspection team the respect they deserve.
Cheng Yin thought about it and said: "I have thought about the problem you mentioned, but many things will be recognized by others without you saying it. With the success of the first time, everyone will have a greater understanding of the second time.
Hope, this is human nature!"
"What should we do? If we really follow some people's ideas and organize a huge inspection group to go there, I can guarantee that they will not have any problems in their lives when they get there. But if they want to get the results they want, then
It’s impossible!”
Wu Jianye didn't feel any burden when talking about this issue to Cheng Yin. If Cheng Yin hadn't been thinking about himself, he wouldn't have discussed this matter with him in advance, but would have issued documents from the upper management as soon as it came up.
Now Wu Jianye and Cheng Yin are communicating about this matter privately. Wu Jianye must tell Cheng Yin all the problems that will arise.
Cheng Yin was also a little troubled: "We are obviously from the same mother and father, so why is it so difficult to do something?"
Wu Jianye was also very helpless. No one could do anything about this kind of thing. There were so many people who cursed their mothers when they put down their chopsticks. Even he had no way to solve this trend.
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Jianye suggested: "It's better to send people there this time on the premise of learning photography techniques. I heard that Fengge Entertainment has two movies currently being filmed. We can send people there to learn."
one time!"
In the first half of this year, Fengge Entertainment invested in and produced a total of three movies. The ones currently being filmed are "Mr. Zombie 2" by Lin Zhengying and the first part of "Wealth and Power" starring Fei Fei and others!
At the same time, "Five Lucky Stars" starring Hong Jinbao and others was officially released in Hong Kong at the beginning of this month, becoming the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong so far.
The scripts of these three movies were written by Wu Jianye after returning to China, and they were jointly invested and filmed by Jiahe and Baohe.
It is precisely because of these three movies that Fengge Entertainment's status in Hong Kong has improved, but compared with Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and New Art City, it is still a notch behind.
After "Zombie Family" and "Wealth and Power" are released, Fengge Entertainment will become the leader in the second tier of Xiangjiang Film Company.
Cheng Yin thought for a moment: "This is the only way!"
Wu Jianye was bound to have problems later on, and continued: "But Dean, these two movies are typical commercial films in Hong Kong. I think this time we only send people over to learn the technology, and forget about the others!"
Whether it is "Zombie Family" or "Wealth and Power", they are the most original commercial films in Hong Kong. They are fundamentally different from the concepts of many domestic filmmakers. Therefore, if you go to some major domestic directors, they will definitely be interested in these two films.
Disdainful.
.......
After discussing with Cheng Yin in the college about organizing a group to go to Xiangjiang, Wu Jianye returned to the courtyard again.
However, this time he did not return to the courtyard where he originally lived, but went to the courtyard where he and Zhu Xi were going to get married.
Shijia Alley!
This courtyard house is much larger than the one where Wu Jianye lived before.
This is a typical medium-sized Yanjing courtyard house, with 5 rooms in the north, 3 in the front and 2 in the west, and 3 in the east and west wings. There is a corridor in front of the house to protect it from wind and rain. The front yard (outer yard) is separated by a courtyard wall.
, the backyard (inner courtyard), the courtyard wall is connected with the moon gate. The front courtyard is of deep depth, with one or two rooms used as the gatehouse, and the backyard is the living room. The architecture is exquisite, with square bricks on the ground and bluestone as the steps.
When I first got this courtyard house, it was not like this. There were more than a dozen families of various sizes living here, and Wu Jianye also spent a lot of money to invite these ancestors away.
Later, a professional design team was borrowed in the name of Zhou Tao, and the courtyard was rebuilt into its original appearance.
Now Zhao Lei's men are all over the Forty-Nine City helping Wu Jianye touch the courtyard, which is the gate of the mansion!
However, things like mansion doors are hard to come by, and the purchase procedures are also very complicated. If you simply rely on Wu Jianye's influence in the country at this time, even if you find such a mansion door, you may not be able to buy it.
In the end, it was still purchased in the name of Zhou Tao.
Next year, after Jianlibao officially makes use of the power of the Olympic Games to become famous in China, Wu Jianye will also have to plan his own affairs in Yanjing.
In 1984, the first year of the company known as Huaxia, if nothing unexpected happens, Wu Jianye himself will also register a cultural company in China in his own name, and will be fully authorized to represent Wu Jianye's domestic shooting plans.
At that time, the studio will not have so much restraint on itself.
In the middle of the yard, according to Wu Jianye's request, the jujube trees, pomegranate trees, and large fish tanks have been set up according to the designed directions. However, the jujube trees and pomegranate trees are still just saplings, and there are no jujubes or pomegranates to eat now.
Wu Jianye never tired of teasing the two big turtles in the fish tank.
Zhu Xuan said angrily from the side: "Everyone raises some koi carps and the like, but it's better for you to raise two big turtles."
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "We both have no time at work, and maybe we are away from home for half a year. If we keep two koi here, we will want to eat them when we come back from outside.
It is estimated that their bodies will not be found.”
Zhu Xian walked over, hugged Wu Jianye's arm, and said gently: "When you come back this time, you won't have any shooting plans this year, right?"
Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "There shouldn't be any this year, but I am going to Venice in September, and the movie "Raise the Red Lantern" will be participating in the film festival then!"
Zhu Xian asked: "Didn't the I/I Company not agree to this movie?"
Being at Yanjing Film Studio, Zhu Xuan naturally got the news.
Now, the news that Wu Jianye's first film as a director will participate in foreign film festivals has long been spread among the major studios.
Everyone has mixed opinions about Wu Jianye's participation in the competition.
Some people say that Wu Jianye dared to try.
Some people say that Wu Jianye doesn’t know the heights of the world.
But no matter what, this matter has now become the biggest news for domestic studios, and everyone wants to see if Wu Jianye can realize his big words and win awards at international film festivals.
Wu Jianye smiled and told Zhu Xian the results of his previous analysis.
"...This time is actually a deal with China Film Group. I will continue to find ways to help their people go to Xiangjiang to study, and in return they will definitely give this spot to the cast of "Raise the Red Lantern"
!”
Zhu Xian said with a somewhat tangled look: "Then do you want to go to Xiangjiang?"
Wu Jianye pinched Zhu Hao's chin: "Why can't you let me go?"
"No!" Zhu Xian raised his head pretending to be arrogant.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't go to Xiangjiang again this time. After all, I went there once last year. If I go again this year, some people may be dissatisfied!"
The opportunity to go abroad in the 1980s was rare for everyone, and it was something every unit wanted to strive for. If "Raise the Red Lantern" is really shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, then Wu Jianye will definitely take it with him.
The team is heading to Venice. If he goes to Xiangjiang again, it will definitely make some people unhappy.
Zhu Xuan smiled happily, "Then can you stay with me in the second half of the year?"
Wu Jian took Zhu Hao's hand, sat on a wicker chair in the middle of the yard, put Zhu Hao in his arms, and asked with a smile: "Don't you have any shooting tasks in the second half of the year?"
Zhu Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I just finished filming the TV series "Golden House" directed by Xu Qingdong, and I am going to take a break in the second half of the year!"
"Golden House" is a TV series that Wu Jianye heard from Zhu Hao before. It said that Wen Jing, played by Zhu Hao, loves music and opens a music restaurant "Golden House" with his companions. Through hard work, he realizes his dream of being a singer.
And harvested the story of love.
"Is there such a concert hall in Yanjing now?" Wu Jianye suddenly asked.
Zhu Xian nodded and said: "Yes, but not many, and I heard that many such concert halls are undergoing rectification recently."
Wu Jianye suddenly laughed and said, "What do you think we should open a few karaoke bars like this in Yanjing?"
Zhu Xian was stunned: "The current environment is not very good, isn't it?"
"Of course we can't open it in our own name. Let Zhou Tao come forward when the time comes. I heard that there are a lot of young musicians in Yanjing now. If we open a karaoke hall like this, we can give them a chance to perform."
Wu Jianye actually had an idea about this matter a long time ago.
It's just that his original idea was to prepare this thing around 1985, but he didn't expect that in 1983, there would be such a music restaurant in China.
Many well-known top singers in the country in later generations actually got their start in karaoke bars in Yanjing, such as Heping House, Bay Hotel, Monopoly, and even the top bars in Yanjing. However, most of these people
They all came out in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Wu Jianye wanted to open a discotheque like this, naturally not to make money, not to mention that there are many other things to do in opening this kind of restaurant besides regular business, so Wu Jianye definitely couldn't take charge of this matter on his own.
If this type of disco can be opened and a record company is established in China in two years, in this era when domestic entertainment industry is so scarce, it will definitely be able to win over a group of later music singers. This can be regarded as a blessing for Wu Jian
Another foundation has been laid for Ye’s entertainment empire!
Zhu Xie thought for a while and said: "Opening it in the name of Zhou Tao is probably no problem in terms of policy, but in other aspects, especially the current situation in the country..."
Severe crackdowns have spread across the country. Nowadays, even listening to Teresa Teng's songs is called a cultural crime. You can imagine how much risk you have to take to open a disco.
Wu Jianye didn't care, "I'm just saying that if we really want to do it, choosing a place, decorating it, and running the preliminary documents, even if Zhou Tao is a Hong Kong businessman, it will still take more than a year.
It is estimated that the official opening will not be until the beginning of 1985, and the policy should have been relaxed a lot by then!"
As mentioned before, Wu Jianye is planning to start deploying Yanjing next year. By then, the investment in Yanjing will be in hundreds of millions. At that time, Zhou Tao will be considered a real high-level player in the country.
With the right to speak, if Zhou Tao opens a discotheque like this in Yanjing at that time, there will be no problem.
Another advantage of this is that it can be used as a reason to officially enclose Wu Jianye's territory in Yanjing...
Zhu Xian nodded and didn't say anything. She has always supported Wu Jianye 100% in her work matters. Now that Wu Jianye has confirmed it, she can just support it. As for what she just said
Since Wu Jianye said the trouble could be solved, it must be solved.
.......
Then Wu Jianye, led by Zhao Lei, went to the courtyard where he collected antiques.
After Wu Jianye was obsessed with antiques in Zhaoyu, he asked Zhao Lei to start buying antiques in Yanjing.
Nowadays, domestic antiques are at a bargain price for Wu Jianye. Naturally, the more the merrier, so as not to regret it in the future...
