Cheng Xiaodong was overjoyed after hearing Shi Nansheng's words.
He quickly expressed his stance to Sun Dahai and said: "Boss Sun, do you really want me to direct a movie? I will definitely go all out to complete this movie."
Huang Baiming said: "Dahai, do you want to sell the rights to film and television adaptations of Li Bihua's works, and then let Xiaodong film them? Xiaodong has studied acting and practiced martial arts, so he is quite good at making costume films and action films.
"
Sun Dahai nodded and said: "It was only after watching "A Chinese Ghost Story" that I thought about asking Director Cheng to help me make a costume film.
Li Bihua has several works that I am very interested in, but I still have to make a plan and shoot them one by one. Director Cheng, is your director scheduled to be at New Art City?"
"Xiaodong and we have a cooperative relationship. If there are suitable projects, we will cooperate. There is no long-term contract between us." Shi Nansheng answered for Cheng Xiaodong.
Sun Dahai thought for a while and said: "That's easy. Director Cheng, you just heard that Ms. Li Bihua and I made an appointment to meet on Wednesday. Next Tuesday, you can take time to come to Youlian and talk to Fen from the agency department.
Sister, sign the contract for this movie in advance and go with me to meet Li Bihua on Wednesday.
By the way, our Youlian does not have a full-time director yet, and there is no action director. You and Sister Fen have a good talk to see if you want to sign a long-term contract with the company."
Wu Yusen asked in surprise: "Your Friendship League doesn't have a full-time director?"
Sun Dahai spread his hands and said: "Isn't it strange? Youlian has been established for less than two years and has just undergone reorganization. Isn't it normal that there is no full-time director for the time being?
Besides, Youlian has invested in a total of five movies so far. Two of them ("A Better Tomorrow" and "A Better Tomorrow 2") are directed by Director Wu, and the other one is directed by Director Du and is about to start filming "
"Eight Star Announcement", can't you tell if we have a director here?"
Tsui Hark said with a smile: "Then you and your friends have signed a few actors together!"
Sun Dahai replied: "The name of the company is Youlian. In fact, it was originally built as a platform for Uncle Wei, Fa Ge, Hong Gu and Leslie. We didn't even think about whether we could make money or not.
Who knew that with the help of a few projects, the company would actually develop, and now it needs to be gradually formalized, so we are increasing our manpower and business scope."
While they were talking, they happened to see Zhang Yimou walking over with Chen Xiaohua and Wu Junmei to get food, so Sun Dahai called Zhang Yimou over.
Zhang Yimou is the cameraman of "A Better Tomorrow" and is very familiar with Wu Yusen and Tsui Hark.
After Sun Dahai introduced several other directors to him, he said to Zhang Yimou: "Uncle Zhang, I made an appointment with a playwright on Wednesday to discuss adapting his work into a script. You and Director Cheng can come with me. Then
You won’t go back to your country yet, right?”
Zhang Yimou shook his head and said: "The crew has to participate in activities these days, and we won't return to China until a week later. It's Wednesday, right? I'll ask for leave then."
Zhang Yimou worked as a director's assistant on the set of "The Last Emperor". When directors Bertolucci and Ren Kuei were surrounded by reporters and other filmmakers, it became his job to take care of the two heroines.
When he saw Chen Xiaohua and the others waiting aside, he said hello to everyone and walked over.
Sun Dahai chased after him: "Uncle Zhang, if it's inconvenient to ask for leave, just tell me and I'll go talk to Mr. Ying."
Sun Dahai knew that if he wanted to cooperate with mainland China in making films under the name of UFIDA, Ying Lao would be his direct leader, so he had to find time to communicate with Ying Lao in advance.
Everyone is busy with the premiere today. It is official business and there are official people present, so there is no need to be so polite.
But Sun Dahai is considered a local snake in Xiangjiang, and Ying Lao is the elder, and he has helped Sun Dahai before. Due to the reasons, Sun Dahai has to come forward to receive Ying Lao, otherwise he is ignorant.
Zhang Yimou walked up to Chen Xiaohua and the two of them, looked at the snacks on their plates, and said: "You guys have a very tight schedule during this period. Eat as much as you can. Don't even think about keeping in shape. Otherwise, your body will be in bad shape."
They will all collapse."
Chen Xiaohua came close to Zhang Yimou and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, isn't that Sun Dahai? Why did he come to Xiangjiang and show up at the reception."
Zhang Yimou was a little surprised and asked: "Don't you know he is the sponsor of this movie? Weren't you also present when Ren Kuang and Gabriel treated everyone to hot pot in the capital?"
"He is really a sponsor! I thought he was the child of a leader of China Film Group. Isn't he from the capital? Why did he come to Xiangjiang again? What do those people with him do?"
"Dahai is from the capital, but he has a company here in Xiangjiang. The sponsor of "The Last Emperor" is Youlian Film and Television Company. But now the company has been reorganized and renamed Youlian Brokerage Company, and he is here to host this event today.
The company of this premiere. The starring actor Ren Kuei and one of the producers Mr. Gabriel are both from his company.
Several people over there are local directors from Xiangjiang, and Sun Dahai may have a project to collaborate with them."
Zhang Yimou thought about it and told Chen Xiaohua some of Sun Dahai's situation, just a little bit relevant. Most of Sun Dahai's situation has nothing to do with this movie, Zhang Yimou will not say more, he is not a gossip.
people.
"Sun Dahai and I are considered acquaintances. Brother Zhang, do you think I should go over and say hello to him now?"
Zhang Yimou looked at Sun Dahai and found that Gao Yi went to look for Sun Dahai with his mobile phone. So he said to Chen Xiaohua: "There may be something going on over there now. If no one is around after a while, you can go over and look for him."
Bar."
At this time, the crew came over and asked them to go back. Several reporters were interviewing Bertolucci, and the director asked the two female leads to come over and be interviewed together.
Forget it, Chen Xiaohua went to the interview with some regret. She originally thought that Sun Dahai was the child of someone else, but she didn't expect that he was actually capable.
Although Zhang Yimou's words were vague, the smart Chen Xiaohua had already figured out that Sun Dahai wanted to invest in making movies, otherwise what would he be talking to several directors about.
Chen Xiaohua originally wanted to go over and catch up with Sun Dahai and see if there was a role in the new movie that would be suitable for her. But Chen Xiaohua thought about it again and decided to forget it.
Even if Sun Dahai really wants to invest in making movies in Hong Kong or mainland China, it has little to do with her. Since she has decided to take root in Hollywood, she will not easily come back to take over the movie.
Chen Xiaohua has been working hard in the United States for six years since 1981. Now with the help of "The Last Emperor", she can let more Hollywood filmmakers know herself, and her future prospects are bright.
Chen Xiaohua has been encouraging herself in her heart, she must persevere, the dawn of victory is just ahead.
