Chapter 363: Difficult Brothers and Difficulties (Daily Update 12,000~)
The end of the New Year means that the tedious New Year greetings are about to begin.
With Wu Jianye's current status, not only has there been no reduction in the number of people who need to pay New Year's greetings, but it has even increased a lot. The elders who have known each other before naturally have to go, and all the new elders who have met are also indispensable.
Therefore, during this period, whether it is the Yan Film Factory compound, the Chinese Theater compound, or other compounds, a gray jeep can be seen passing through.
The selection of gifts is also very particular. For those who are just pure performing artists, such as teachers such as Chen Wei, Ge Cuncun, and Ma Jingwu, they should give priority to some more expensive nutritional supplements. Compared with Xia Yan, Zhao Ming,
Teachers like Lin and Cen Fan are not nutritional supplements, but gadgets that suit their needs, but they should not be too expensive.
When you reach the level of Zhaobu and Mr. Wang Lanxi, it is even simpler. Just a few bags of pastries from Zhengmingzhai and some fruits are enough. You must not give them anything too expensive, as this will put both parties at risk.
The relationship has become complicated.
"Mr. Wang, Happy New Year!"
When he arrived at Mr. Wang Lanxi's home, Wu Jianye looked at a room full of old people with stars on their clothes. All the status he had before was of little use in front of these people.
"Xiao Wu is here, you kid, come here. Why did you bring something?" Mr. Wang Lanxi looked a little unhappy when he saw the gift Wu Jianye was carrying.
"Mr. Wang, it's not something from the past, it's some pastries from Zhengmingzhai and fruits now sold in the market!" Wu Jianye explained quickly.
Sure enough, when Mr. Wang heard that Wu Jianye brought only these inexpensive gifts, he immediately turned from anger to joy and asked Wu Jianye to sit down with a smile.
It's just that on this occasion, Wu Jianye couldn't really sit still. Instead, he took on the job of serving tea and water to the elderly people.
There is no way, these people are all real old people who came out of that era. Although they are old now, their own momentum and influence are beyond Wu Jianye's reach.
Regarding Wu Jianye's behavior, these old people also smiled and nodded, taking it calmly.
Wu Jianye also knew that this was a gathering between their old comrades, so he said goodbye after a while and left. However, when Wu Jianye left, there was a man who was nearly sixty years old, wearing glasses and not wearing any clothes.
An old man wearing a Chinese tunic suit instead of a star uniform stopped Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye knew this old man, and he was now the big leader of radio and television.
Last year, the Ministry of Culture officially placed the Film Bureau under the Radio and Television Bureau in order to strengthen the unified leadership and overall planning of film and television. However, although the Film Bureau was placed under the Radio and Television Bureau, film units from all over the country, especially provincial, municipal, and county-level companies, still
It is led and managed by the local cultural department, so a phenomenon of "top-bottom cooperation but not cooperation" has formed. This top-down distortion and cross-management model has caused many difficulties for the leadership and management of the entire film industry, especially the macro-management of the film industry.
.
Wu Jianye's previous film "The Last Emperor" was originally completed under the leadership of the Ministry of Culture, so even though the film bureau was later transferred to the Radio and Television, when it was released, the Ministry of Culture contributed more, which also led to Wu Jianye
Ye has never had the chance to meet this great leader.
Of course, if you were an ordinary director in China, you wouldn't even think about it like this, but who made Wu Jianye's status in China become higher and higher now?
The domestic success of the movie "The Last Emperor" has also deepened Wu Jianye's status in the hearts of many leaders, but the most important thing is Wu Jianye's court culture and Xiangjiang Fengge Entertainment, which has become clear in the eyes of these leaders.
This is the capital that Wu Jianye can talk to directly!
"Xiao Wu, come to my place when the vacation is over." The big leader didn't say what the matter was.
But how could Wu Jianye refuse? He quickly said: "Okay, Aibe, I will definitely go there on time!"
.......
Wu Jian went to many houses at night, and many people came to him. Needless to say, Zhao Lei, Chai Ou, and Chen Ming came here on the first day of the new year.
The next few days were filled with Wu Jianye's various friends, but the gifts everyone brought were somewhat the same, basically all for the newborn baby.
But what made Wu Jianye a little curious was that Jiang never showed up, but the person who was supposed to show up would eventually show up. When Jiang showed up, Wu Jianye knew why Jiang was so late.
"When did you two get along?"
Coming with Jiang was his co-star in "Furong Town", Liu Xiaoqing.
Seeing the two holding hands, Wu Jianye knew that the relationship between the two must have begun. It was obvious that the two were still in love during this period, so naturally they had no time to come to the courtyard.
"I thought you knew this already!" Jiang was not polite and sat directly on the wicker chair in the middle of the yard.
Although Yan Jing had just finished college two days ago, Wu Jianye and Yan Wen cleared the snow in the yard early so that Zhu could move freely in the yard.
Qian Sisi, Yang Weiwei and others originally built a snowman before, but as time passed, the snowman has almost melted.
"It's too cold outside, let's go inside!" Wu Jianye said.
The winter in Yanjing has a coldness that penetrates the bone marrow, especially in the past two years, which has become more severe. Although it is spacious outside, it is not as warm as inside the house.
"You go to the study and chat, I'll go see Linlin in the house!" Liu Xiaoqing said with a smile.
Wu Jianye and Jiang walked into the study room and threw a special panda to Jiang. When Jiang saw the cigarette, he immediately laughed and said: "It's a high-end product. This kind of cigarette is not common!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "There are only half a box left. I won't have any more after I smoke it!"
The half box I requested from Zhaobu before will only be half a box left after the Chinese New Year.
He lit the ginger, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "The taste is really different."
"I haven't said it yet. When did it start?"
"When we were filming "Furong Town"." Jiang was not embarrassed, "I thought you knew about it a long time ago. Didn't it be mentioned in "Popular Films"?"
"I haven't had time to read magazines recently. I've been paying New Year greetings." Wu Jianye said.
Jiang's love affair with Liu Xiaoqing can be regarded as the earliest gossip news in the domestic entertainment industry. This is due to Liu Xiaoqing's current popularity in the country. With Gong leaving the country for Xiangjiang and Li Xiuming's death, Liu Xiaoqing has become a domestic celebrity.
The number one female movie star in the world.
Liu Xiaoqing has been married once before, and the age gap between the two has made their romance the most exciting news in the domestic film industry.
After listening to Jiang's description, Wu Jianye couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he and Zhu got married early, otherwise what happened to him would definitely become big news now.
"Then what are you going to do?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.
Jiang said nonchalantly: "I don't care what they think, I want to fall in love myself, and I have to get them to agree!"
Wu Jianye gave Jiang a thumbs up.
Although the relationship between the two did not end well in the end, the two did not engage in a fight after breaking up like those couples or couples in the entertainment industry in later generations.
On the contrary, even after they broke up, the two have always maintained a good relationship as friends. For example, the reason why Jiang was able to make his first movie "Sunny Days" was because Liu Xiaoqing helped him contact Xiangjiang Capital, which was also the reason why Jiang was able to make his first movie "Sunny Days".
The one who plays Lu Xiaofeng, the one with four eyebrows that everyone loves in "Internal Agent Zero Zero".
Later, when Liu Xiaoqing went in for reasons known to everyone, Jiang also visited her in person.
"When is the movie going to be released?" Wu Jianye asked.
Wu Jianye looked at Jiang curiously and asked, "What's wrong? According to the influence of director Xie Jin, there shouldn't be too many problems with this movie?"
It turns out that on the eve of the Spring Festival, "Furong Town" began to have trial screenings in Shanghai, Yanjing and other cities. As the scope of trial screenings expanded, there were more and more criticisms about the film. Some people think that this film is giving society
smeared the film and advocated an immediate ban. In order to avoid causing trouble, Xie Jin processed some scenes in the film before and after the test screening. After the processing, although the film was supported by the Shanghai Film Bureau, a film review was held in Yanjing
During the exhibition, "Hibiscus Town" sent by Huhai Selection was "shot".
"...Director Xie Jin is in Yanjing right now, scratching his head over this matter!" Jiang said.
Wu Jianye spread his hands and said: "There is no way. I have read the novel "Furong Town". Some people will definitely be dissatisfied with it when it is filmed. However, according to Director Xie's status in the country, the problem should not be too big.
."
Jiang curled his lips: "Who knows."
But soon, Jiang's brothers and sisters arrived.
Chen Kaige came to the courtyard with a dejected look. When he saw Queen Jiang, he simply said hello.
"What's wrong with you? I don't owe you any money during the Chinese New Year!" Wu Jianye said helplessly.
"Don't mention it, after Xi Film Studio sent me "The King of Children", it was rejected!" Chen Kaige lit a cigarette in despair and sat across from Jiang.
"Haha, you guys are really brothers and sisters!" Wu Jianye laughed.
Later, Chen Kaige also learned about "Furong Town".
Chen Kaige comforted Jiang: "It's okay, you don't have to worry so much. According to Director Xie's influence in the country, "Furong Town" should not be a big problem, but "The King of Children" will be difficult. Originally, China Film
There have been a lot of criticisms against Xiying Film Studio, but it’s probably even more difficult now.”
Jiang smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. This is your director's business. It's more comfortable to be an actor!"
Wu Jianye glanced at Jiang, "I don't believe you will always be an actor."
Jiang: "Let's talk about the future things later. Anyway, there are no scripts I want to shoot now!"
For Jiang, now is really not the time to make a movie. Not to mention that Jiang doesn't want to make a movie, even if Jiang wants to make a movie, Wu Jianye would have to advise him to wait a few more years.
As for the reason?
Naturally, it is a domestic policy.
At present, the country has not abolished the policy of making profits from selling copies, which means that the studios have not yet had direct dialogue with city and county companies.
If Jiang's movie is made now, it will be a loss. Jiang's movie is not like Wu Jianye's movie. Although the movie has won awards internationally, the overseas box office...
In other words, the main ticket sales for this movie are still domestic.
Just this year, the domestic voice for further deepening the reform of the film system has become increasingly intense.
Production companies represented by several major studios in Yanjing and Spring City proposed: 1. Film production companies should expand their independent management rights and require the films they produce to be directed to provincial-level companies and close the relationship between production and sales.
, in fact, some film studios have begun to automatically unite masters and apprentices to form production and sales consortiums, forming East China, South China travel networks, etc.
2. Many provincial companies have requested to change China Film Company’s isomorphic exercise of rights and implement local self-purchase and exercise of rights, so that provincial companies can truly realize the ‘independent operation and independent accounting’ sales method.
However, both of these were rejected...
Of course, the radio and television authorities have also considered the wishes of the studios and local companies, and have been holding meetings to discuss this matter years ago.
"Director Wu, what do you think?" Wu Jianye asked.
Wu Jianye had mentioned this matter when he had dinner with Wu Tianming and others. At that time, Wu Tianming really did not expect that their worries would actually come true.
Chen Kaige said helplessly: "Director Wu, there is nothing we can do about it. You also know that what Director Wu did at Xiying Film Studio offended many people, and he wanted to bypass China Film to form his own industry.
The Internet has made it impossible for him to speak with China Film Group, so this time..."
Wu Jianye understood that the root cause was here. Lao Mouzi had said at the beginning that he hoped Wu Jianye could help when the time came. Now that things had happened, Chen Kaige naturally came here for this matter.
"Let's do this. After the New Year, I will contact Director Liu of China Film Group. As for whether the other party is willing to give this face, I'm not sure!" Wu Jianye said.
Director Liu is Liu Jianshe, who originally participated in "Raise the Red Lantern". Wu Jianye has been in contact with him in the past few years, making the relationship between the brothers, who were not very enthusiastic at first, now much stronger.
Chen Kaige smiled: "Then this matter will trouble you."
Regarding Wu Jianye's influence, Chen Kaige had already seen it when "The Last Emperor" was released. Now that Wu Jianye is willing to help, he is naturally relieved.
Then the three of them chatted about movies for a while, and when it was time to have lunch, the two of them plus Liu Xiaoqing also stayed in the courtyard.
Although Chen Kaige agreed to help inquire, Wu Jianye took the lead in going to see Ai Bu after the New Year's holiday.
As the boss of radio and television in the next few years, if Wu Jianye wants to develop in domestic film and television, it is natural that he cannot do without Aibe's support.
