Feng Pants is very proud of himself recently. When he came to Tangting Culture, his feet were all floating.
"What's going on, why are you so happy?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile while sitting in the office, looking at Feng's pants that were not touching the floor.
"Hey, Teacher Wu, I am now officially the art designer of the center!" Feng Pengtong happily walked to the refrigerator and took out a can of Jianlibao for himself, and said with a smile.
Ever since he met Wu Jianye, Feng Pengtong spent more time at Tangting Culture. Sometimes he came with Feng Xiaolong and others, and sometimes he came by himself.
Because Feng Pengtang discovered that Wu Jianye was different from others. Although he was now actively entering the circle of Wang Shuo and others, in that circle, he always felt inferior, and it might also be because of his own background that he let those
People don't like themselves very much.
But Wu Jianye is different here. Although Wu Jianye is also a member of that circle, and is even a very famous person in that circle, he has never yelled at him, and he sincerely treats himself as a friend.
People are like this, they like to get into more comfortable circles, and Wu Jianye's circle is really too big, not only the circle in Beijing, but also the previous screening of "The Last Emperor" at Yan Film Studio
, Feng Pants also went, and when he saw Wu Jianye standing there chatting and laughing with all the domestic bigwigs, he couldn't help but feel envious.
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "Is the center already preparing to shoot Hai Yan's "Plainclothes Police"?"
Feng Pengtong showed a surprised expression, "Teacher Wu, you are really amazing. Do you know this?"
Wu Jianye, who had long been accustomed to Feng Pong's way of speaking, smiled and said, "What's so strange about this? Zheng Xiaolong had already mentioned this matter when he came here before. Now seeing how happy you are, you still...
Is there anything hard to guess?"
Feng Pengtong gave Wu Jianye a thumbs up, "If not, Mr. Wu, you can make movies like "Raise the Red Lantern" and "The Last Emperor", that's awesome!"
Wu Jianye smiled helplessly and said, "You, you should be busy at this time, why did you get up and come to me?"
Feng Pengtong smiled and said, "I'm so happy. I am a daughter-in-law who has been married for many years. I just want to find someone to talk to in a happy way."
How about saying that Feng Pengtong knows how to be a good person? When he heard this, that person would be very excited.
Wu Jianye said, "Okay, since you are happy, how many people can come out to help you celebrate tonight?"
Although it was in the form of a question, both Wu Jianye and Feng Pengtong knew that the matter was settled.
Sure enough, Feng Pants said happily, "That's a good relationship."
Wu Jianye then asked Feng Pants to call Zheng Xiaolong, Wang Shuo and others and tell them to get together in the evening and celebrate Feng Pants.
After they received the call, they said it was no problem and they would be there on time that night. When Wang Shuo arrived, he casually asked if he wanted to find someone else.
Wu Jianye said it was casual.
Seeing Wu Jianye being able to summon everyone with just one phone call, Feng Pengtong looked at Wu Jianye with envy. He now felt that Wu Jianye was like the leader of the martial arts in martial arts novels. Once the leader's order was given, everyone would
Arrive immediately.
But Feng Pants was more happy. After all, Wu Jianye called these people out this time to celebrate himself.
After thinking for a while, Feng Pengtong said, "Teacher Wu, I have also met Haiyan. He is also in Yanjing now. Do you want to call him too?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "This is for your celebration, you can call me whoever you want!"
"It's done!"
Feng Pengtang happily picked up the phone number in Wu Jianye's office again and called Haiyan, asking him to arrive on time in the evening. When Haiyan heard that it was Wu Jianye's treat, he also said that he would arrive on time, which made Feng Pangtong feel even better.
My son has face.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Feng Pants is still a little unsure of himself. Although becoming an official artist is a big improvement for him, the status of an artist in the entire crew is not much higher than that of a miscellaneous person. But Haiyan is different.
Not only is he the screenwriter of this TV series, but even the TV series "Plain Clothes Police" is adapted from Hai Yan's novel of the same name.
According to the current normal cast and crew hierarchy, Feng Trousers belongs at the bottom of the pyramid, while Haiyan is at the top.
Now that Feng Pants is able to invite Wu Jianye to celebrate for him, when Haiyan comes and looks at his circle of friends and when he goes back to promote it, Feng Pants' status in the crew will definitely rise immediately.
While the two were chatting, a girl wearing business attire of this era, with a ponytail and a childish face that had just stepped out of society, knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mr. Wu, there is Mr. Zhang Yimou outside, he said he is your classmate."
The girl's name is Xia Xiaohong. She is a student who just graduated from Yanjing Communication University this year. She refused to go to work in a good job and insisted on working in Tangting Culture. At that time, Wu Jianye asked her why she came to Tangting Culture.
Tangting Culture is the first private cultural company in Yanjing, and the boss of the company is a great director like you, Director Wu. I believe that Tangting Culture will have very good prospects, so I hope to learn new methods here.
work experience!
After Wu Jianye heard this, he was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this girl looked young, but she was quite thoughtful. After thinking about it, he really needed an assistant and secretary here, so he kept her.
Similar to Feng Pants, she would not stop people who come frequently, but if a strange face comes to the company, she will still come to ask for instructions in person.
"Lao Mouzi is here?" Wu Jianye laughed and said, "That is indeed my classmate, please invite him in!"
Xia Xiaohong followed Wu Jianye's orders and went out.
After a while, Zhang Yimou, who had a short haircut and was wearing a solid sky-blue fabric and a military coat, walked in. Along with him was a man in the middle with a bald head and a very bold look.
"Old Wu, the airs are getting bigger and bigger now. If I want to see you, I have to make an appointment in advance!" Zhang Yimou walked into Wu Jianye's office and started complaining.
Wu Jianye ignored him and said directly to the middle-aged man who came in with him, "Director Wu, welcome!"
The person who came with Zhang Yimou was Wu Tianming, who is known as the godfather of fifth-generation directors and is now the director of Xiying Film Studio!
Wu Tianming had the frankness of a man from the northwest, and laughed and said, "Director Wu, do you know me?"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "I have seen Director Wu's photos, but I didn't expect Director Wu to be more impressive than in the photos!"
Wu Tianming: "Speaking of momentum, Director Wu, you are really powerful. When I just came to your office, I took a look and found that your place is more impressive than some studios!"
After the two sat down, Wu Jianye introduced Feng Kuang to them. Feng Kuang smiled and said hello to Zhang Yimou and Wu Tianming. The two exchanged greetings and sat down.
Wu Jianye glanced at Feng Tongtong and Zhang Yimou. This should be the first time the two met. They have been competing with each other since then. In addition, Zhang Weiping, who was next to Zhang Yimou at that time, added fuel to the flames, which made it even more lively.
At that time, Zhang Weiping relied on Zhang Yimou to fight against the sky and the earth, and almost ignored all the big guys in the industry. Later, he and Zhang Yimou had financial problems, which directly led to their subsequent breakup.
According to one of Feng Pants's movies, after the two broke up, it was a mess.
Zhang Yimou, who left Zhang Weiping, is still the top director in the industry, but Zhang Weiping danced around for a while when the two separated, and then disappeared without a trace in the circle.
"Old Wu, you are very impressive here. I heard that Kaige's "King of Children" is being post-produced here?" Zhang Yimou sat down, took off his military coat, and asked in a nonchalant manner.
Although Zhang Yimou has become more and more low-key and calm outside now, in front of old classmates like Wu Jianye, especially the group of people with whom he has the best relationship, he still has no taboos.
Feng Pongtong looked at Zhang Yimou and curled his lips secretly. He had been here more often and Feng Pongtang thought that he was more knowledgeable. Although he was wearing similar clothes to Zhang Yimou now, he still felt that he was more knowledgeable than him.
.
Some people's first impression is so weird. When Feng Pengtong met Wu Jianye's other classmates, he seemed very polite. But for some reason, when he saw Zhang Yimou at the first glance, he didn't feel so welcome.
strength!
Wu Jianye said, "Yes, but he is busy dating recently, so he probably won't come over today!"
Zhang Yimou said in surprise, "We are in love again, he is so fast!"
"I'm envious. I'm envious. You should try it too!"
"Don't talk nonsense. If your sister-in-law hears it, it's time to start a fight with me again!" Zhang Yimou said quickly.
"Look at your courage!" Wu Jianye curled his lips and glanced at Zhang Yimou with disdain.
Zhang Yimou smiled coquettishly and said, "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, I came to you this time for a serious business!"
Wu Jianye joked, "Want to eat roast chicken?"
Zhang Yimou waved his hand and said magnanimously, "We'll talk about it later when we eat roast chicken." Then he immediately put on a flattering smile, "But now that we've finished talking about the serious business, we can talk about eating roast chicken."
After the two made a few jokes, Zhang Yimou officially talked about the serious business of his visit this time.
"When I graduated, you said that if I became a director, you would invest in me!"
After saying this, Zhang Yimou showed a proud smile.
Wu Jianye said to Wu Tianming, "Director Wu, are you brave enough? If you let him film a movie for your Xiying Studio, you won't be afraid of it being ruined?"
Wu Tianming also knew that this was Wu Jianye making a joke on Zhang Yimou, and laughed and said, "Xiao Zhang is a good person, and he also has his own ideas about movies, so we at Xiying Film Studio still believe in Xiao Zhang."
of!"
"Old Wu, there is no such thing as you to cause trouble!" Zhang Yimou said dissatisfiedly.
"With Director Wu here, why would you ask me to invest?" To be honest, Wu Jianye didn't understand why the two of them came to him for alms.
Although Xiying Studio is not as powerful as it was in the following years, from last place in the number of copies to first place in the number of copies, at least under the leadership of Wu Tianming, it has gradually improved, and according to Zhang Yimou's style
The amount of investment in the film will not be too large, and Xiying Film Studio is fully capable of handling it on its own.
Later, Zhang Yimou told the truth. It was indeed his first movie "Red Sorghum" that he wanted to shoot, but there were still some problems in it.
It turns out that Zhang Yimou didn't know until he went to Gaomi that there would be no sorghum grown there next year. According to Zhang Yimou and Wu Tianming's idea, since local farmers don't grow it, they can grow it themselves, but this will require more funds.
To be honest, the West Film Studio itself can use this fund. At worst, everyone will have to tighten their belts. But Zhang Yimou is a new director after all, and it is inevitable that some people in the factory will have complaints. If this fund is used again, what will happen to Zhang Yimou and Wu
The pressure on Tian Ming is really too great.
At this time, Zhang Yimou thought of his old classmate Wu Jianye. Everyone knew that Wu Jianye had opened a cultural company in Yanjing and had money. So when he came to Yanjing to find actors, Zhang Yimou also brought him with him.
Following Wu Tianming, he came to Tangting Culture.
After Wu Jianye heard this, he asked, "How big of a hole is there?"
Wu Tianming immediately beamed after hearing this, "It would be best to raise 100,000!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Okay, these 100,000 Tangting Culture are out, when will you need them?"
"The sooner the better!" Wu Tianming is worried about money every day now. When he heard Wu Jianye agreed to invest, why did he want to delay it?
Wu Jianye first asked about Wu Tianming's investment in the entire movie, then called Xia Xiaohong in, gave her instructions, and asked her to prepare some corresponding documents. It didn't take long for Xia Xiaohong to come over with the documents.
"Director Wu, take a look at it. If there is no problem, just sign it!" At this time, Wu Jianye and Wu Tianming also called themselves Director Wu.
Wu Tianming took the document and read it carefully, showing a shy smile: "Director Wu, is this treaty too inappropriate for your court culture?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It's nothing. For Lao Mouzi, we are old classmates. I will definitely support him when he becomes a director for the first time. And Director Wu, you are a director I respect very much.
Don’t say anything else!”
When Zhang Yimou heard what Wu Jianye said, he immediately showed a reserved smile.
In fact, Wu Jianye did not suffer much loss from this contract. Although the ratio of his investment and income was not proportional, the people behind the entire movie were from Xiying Studio, and it also involved issues such as the factory logo, so
After conversion, Tangting Culture has not suffered a loss.
What's more, through this cooperation, we can also establish a good cooperative relationship with Wu Tianming and others.
In the domestic entertainment circle, there is not only the Beijing circle, but also the northwest circle, and Wu Tianming and Zhang Yimou are the backbone of the northwest circle.
In the end, Wu Tianming signed his name on the contract.
Zhang Yimou said excitedly, "Old Wu, thank you this time!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "You and I are talking about heretics." Then Wu Jianye asked, "Have you found the actor?"
