Chapter 287 Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award (Daily Update 12,000~)
Although Wu Jianye wanted to keep a low profile about the establishment of Tangting Culture, his friends still knew the news, and many people came here to visit.
"Old Wu, it's okay. Just after the national policy was promulgated, you established your own cultural company!"
Zhang Huijun, Mu Deyuan, Xie Quan and others, Wu Jianye's classmates, also came to Tangting Culture. They opened the refrigerator and took out drinks without being entertained by the host, which seemed very casual.
Wu Jianye leaned on his desk and joked: "How about it, are you interested in working here? I guarantee you will get more than you can get in the college."
Zhang Huijun shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'll just be my teacher honestly!"
Xie Wan curiously played with the pot of orchids in Wu Jianye's office and asked, "Does the college know about your company?"
Wu Jianye nodded: "I have already told Dean Shen, there is no objection from the college!"
One advantage of Yanjing Film Academy is that no matter whether it is a student or an employee, they will not care if they go out to start a business. Later, Xie Wan, Liang Tian, and Ge You even established a company.
At that time, Ge You had just won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival with "Alive". At that time, the three of them said that Ge You was a national treasure-level actor and could not easily go out to take jobs. However, the company of these three people later did not improve. , and closed the door in a hurry.
"Where are Zhuang Zhuang and Chen Kaige? Why haven't I seen them recently?" Wu Jianye asked curiously.
"Hey, don't mention it. Zhuang Zhuang has made a movie now. I don't know where he is every day. It's so mysterious. Kai Ge was asked by Mouzi to go hiking."
Only then did Wu Jianye realize that the year had entered 1984, which was not only the first year of the company, but also the time for the fifth generation of domestic directors to explode.
The movie that Tian Zhuangzhuang worked on should be "Caesar", which is said to be incomprehensible, and Chen Kaige was forced to climb mountains by Zhang Yimou for the filming of "Yellow Earth"!
After Xie Wan finished playing with the orchids, he sat on the sofa and sighed: "I didn't expect that Zhuang Zhuang and Kai Ge would also start directing. Time flies so fast!"
Mu Deyuan smiled and said: "It wasn't all Lao Wu who inspired me. Although those two people didn't say it on their faces, they were both arrogant and arrogant. They watched Lao Wu win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. They must be very excited to win the prize, especially Kai Ge. He has always been very proud in school. Now that Lao Wu has taken the lead, I must be anxious. Now that I finally have the opportunity, I must do my best. Let’s show off!”
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "What does this have to do with me? Both of them are capable. It is only a matter of time before they become directors!"
Zhang Huijun waved his hand, "Let's not talk about them. What about you? How is the situation with "The Last Emperor" going? There are quite a few studios watching now!"
Wu Jianye: "This matter is not my responsibility. I have to listen to the superiors. It will probably take a few months no matter what."
Zhang Huijun said with a smile: "This is a piece of fat. There must be a lot of people staring at it. Old Wu, you are so awesome. You quietly made all the studios across the country take action because of this matter."
Xie Wan said nonchalantly: "If you want to move, just move. Just like what Lao Wu said, this matter is not something he can decide. Lao Wu, will you go to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony this time?" "
Although the Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award have not yet been merged, the two awards are held together.
This year's 7th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards and the 4th China Film Golden Rooster Awards will be held in Quancheng, the capital of Qilu Province.
The evaluation mechanism of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award is based on the popular film magazine that is sold. There are voting pages on it that can be cut out and voted for and sent to Popular Film. The Golden Rooster Award is similar to foreign film festivals, with a jury.
The honorary chairman of the Golden Rooster Award is the veteran domestic artist Xia Yan, and the judges for this year are two artists, Yuan Wenshu and Zhang Junxiang.
There are also 22 judges, including the current president of the Yanjing Film Academy Shen Chongsheng and director Xie Jin.
"Raise the Red Lantern" has been in the limelight in China for the past two years, and it was naturally shortlisted for two major award ceremonies.
Hundred Flowers Award for Best Feature Film, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress.
Golden Rooster Awards for Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Art, and Best Costumes.
Judging from the current voting situation, the Hundred Flowers Awards have almost reserved two awards for Best Feature Film and Best Actress.
Wu Jianye said: "We must go, and we will officially set off in two days."
The Golden Rooster Awards and Hundred Flowers Awards are held in late May, which is less than half a month away. Wu Jianye has been nominated for so many awards this time. It would definitely be inappropriate not to go there.
In the evening, Chen Peisi and others also came to visit Tangting Culture.
Although the company in this small three-story building seemed a bit shabby to Wu Jianye, it seemed to them to be very magnificent.
"Teacher Wu, is this the first private cultural company in Yanjing?" Ge You asked with his usual Beijing accent.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I guess so. Are you interested in becoming an actor here?"
If Wu Jianye was teasing Zhang Huijun and others, then he was sincerely inviting Ge You. Wu Jianye didn’t need to tell everyone about Ge You’s achievements, but now Ge You is
He is still a relatively unknown actor in China. If we can get Ge You to join Tangting Culture in advance, it will definitely be a profitable business.
Ge You carried Jianlibao and wandered around Wu Jianye's office casually. He didn't take Wu Jianye's words to heart and said with a smile: "With my image, you dare to ask for it!"
The current Ge You image is indeed not very good, not even as good as Chen Peisi who is already bald, so Ge You has always been a little inferior in this regard.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "What's the matter? As long as you come, I will pay you a salary immediately. How about 1oo a month? Then we will ask Zheng Xiaolong and others to save a TV series and make you the most popular in the country.
actor."
At this time, there was no so-called star contracting system in China. All actors received a fixed salary like ordinary workers, but they would receive subsidies when filming TV series or movies.
Zheng Xiaolong joked from the side: "You are a great movie director, but you also write TV series scripts!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I won't write it, but the people around you will. I think Wang Shuo is pretty good. I've read his work, which is full of Beijing flavor. Ask him if he is willing to write it. If he is willing, I will
Invest now!”
Why Wang Shuo became the spiritual leader of the Beijing circle is because he can write. Everyone knows that he writes, but they don’t know that Wang Shuo’s ability to write scripts is absolutely top-notch. It’s just that people are a little lazy, which is what later generations call procrastination.
In the advanced stage of the disease, this master's writing depends entirely on his personal mood.
When the mood came, no one could stop his enthusiasm for creation. There was a bicycle repairman next to the yard, but he felt that he was in the way. He would rather give all his savings to him and not let him disturb his writing.
If there is no enthusiasm, even if you lock him in a small dark room, he will not be able to write a word.
As for why Feng Pants became so popular later, it was because he started his business by imitating Wang Shuo's style.
Ge You still smiled unconfidently and said, "Don't pick on me anymore."
Wu Jianye didn't say anything. He walked directly to the back of the desk, opened the safe, took out a stack of contracts and a stack of money, and said with a smile: "I've prepared the contract and the money, just waiting for you to sign.
Got it!"
Everyone was also surprised. No one thought that Wu Jianye had actually prepared all this.
Only then did everyone realize that Wu Jianye was not joking.
"Are you serious?"
"It's more real than this pile of money."
"You're fooling me with fake money!" Ge You said with a smile, but he still walked over, picked up the contract, and read it. As for the money, Ge You didn't pay much attention.
"Brothers, if anyone wants to make extra money, I welcome you at any time!" While Ge You was looking at the contract, Wu Jianye extended an invitation to this group of people.
"The treatment is the same as Yuko's."
Everyone looked at Wu Jianye hesitantly. Why did this matter seem so casual? For a moment, everyone didn't know how to answer.
Ge You had also read the contract at this time. Of course, he only read it roughly and frowned slightly.
"Teacher Wu, your contract..."
"What happened to the contract?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.
Everyone also looked at Wu Jianye and Ge You curiously. Chen Peisi was more straightforward and asked directly: "Teacher Wu, are you planning to be a vicious capitalist and exploit our Comrade Ge You?"
Ge You smiled bitterly and said: "It's not enough to exploit me, it's because the conditions are too good!"
"The conditions are too good?"
Everyone was stunned. Chen Peisi curiously took Ge You's contract and looked at it.
After reading it, Chen Peisi sighed: "Teacher Wu, you are trying to be a money-splitting boy!"
It turns out that the content of the contract has almost no restrictions on Ge You. Except for the terrifying 20 years, in addition to the programs of the cultural troupe Ge You is currently in, Ge You must give priority to Tangting Culture's movies every month.
There is a fixed salary, which will increase as time goes by and Ge You's fame increases. At the same time, Ge You's salary is also the highest in the country.
The salary for each movie is 1,000 yuan. If it is a TV series, it is 1,000 yuan per episode. This is currently the highest in the country!
Moreover, the salary increase will increase with the increase of Ge You's fame. It can be said that as long as Ge You signs this contract, he will immediately become the highest paid actor in China.
Of course, this has to be a movie or TV series produced by Tang Ting Culture. The movies and TV series he arranges with the art troupe have to follow their rules.
"How about it, Peisi, come over too!" Wu Jianye also invited Chen Peisi.
In the late 1980s, Chen Peisi shot a series of films called Erzi, which can be regarded as the pioneers of domestic comedy films.
But the results?......
If the box office system does not change, even if he makes these excellent movies, he will not be able to make money. This is why after Wu Jianye was reborn, he did not first separate domestic movies into various genres, because even if you have
No matter how many genres there are, domestic film studios will still lose money given the imperfect domestic film box office system.
No one would do a losing business.
Chen Peisi shook his head and said: "Forget it, I have a lot of things to do in the past two years. Even if I sign with you, I probably won't have time to come here, and I won't be able to take your salary in vain by then!"
Ge You said from the side: "Let's change this contract, this is so embarrassing!"
This is Ge You, who dislikes his high salary. If it had been anyone else, he would have happily signed the contract.
Ge You is very particular, but Wu Jianye doesn't care about this. In this era, no one knows Ge You's future development better than him.
Not to mention the price in the era when he was reborn, even five years later, it would be more than this price.
"Okay, just sign it. You forgot that you promised me before that you would make my movie!"
At this time, there was no comparison between Ge You and Chen Peisi. They were still just marginal figures in the film and television industry. Seeing such a contract at this time, he finally had no way to refuse and signed the contract.
In this way, Ge You also became the first signed artist of Tangting Culture.
This was the first of its kind in China in the 1980s!
"Let's go. To celebrate this moment, let's find a place to have some drinks!" Wu Jianye suggested.
"OK."
When everyone walked out of Tangting Culture, Zheng Xiaolong came to Wu Jianye's side and asked, "Do you really want to invest in a TV series?"
Wu Jianye nodded: "This is still fake. As long as you can persuade Wang Shuo to write a script, I will invest!"
Zheng Xiaolong thought for a moment and said, "That works, I'll give it a try!"
Wu Jianye suddenly remembered a character: "Which of you knows Liang Zuo?"
Speaking of Liang Zuo, you may not be familiar with him, but when it comes to a TV series, you have to know that the first domestic sitcom "I Love My Family" was written by this person.
Liang Tian, whom everyone is more familiar with, is his younger brother.
"I know him. He works in the Ministry of Education now. He is a famous talent!" Chen Peisi said from the sidelines.
Zheng Xiaolong also said: "What, you want to get to know me?"
"Yes, I have read the articles he wrote and found them quite interesting. It would be quite interesting if I could find him to help write a script!"
"That's it, wait until you come back in Quancheng, and I'll make an appointment for you!" Chen Peisi said.
In the evening, a few people randomly found a small restaurant to celebrate the founding of Tangting Culture. Except for Wu Jianye, none of these people thought that the leader of the Chinese entertainment industry for decades would hold the ceremony in a small restaurant like this.
their celebration ceremony.
As the time approached late May, Wu Jianye and the cast members of "Raise the Red Lantern" and Chen Peisi, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Sunset Street", went to Quancheng to attend this year's Golden Rooster Awards and Baihua.
