Time passed quietly from the water vapor emerging from the tender green Biluochun and slowly dissipated in the clear window, silent and speechless, as if the whole world had become silent, and the conference room returned to the silent film era for a while.
.
No one suggested any solution, not even the national master Zhang Yimou said anything. Although he is considered a top representative among directors, his status determines the right to speak, and he is very clear about this.
Here, there are at least three people with higher status than him, Wang Zhongjun, Dong Ping, and Zhang Weiping, or it is not certain that there will be one more Ye Ming in a few years. Therefore, at this time, Zhang Yimou, who was originally very silent, also changed.
He became even more speechless, as if he was drowsy and wanted to sleep in this silent silence.
Wang Zhongjun saw that everyone was silent. At this time, he actually understood very well. This was to avoid making mistakes. Obviously the three major companies would not be the first, but if they had to discuss a way this time, then
It is estimated that everyone will be unlucky when the time comes. Therefore, Wang Zhongjun thought for a while and said: "Director Zhang, you should say a few words about this matter first, how should we do it better."
When Zhang Yimou saw that his name was called, he coughed twice and said: "Once this tightening curse is worn, we will not have any good fruits to eat. Needless to say, everyone understands it in their hearts."
, no one is willing to say it, so I will say a few words. Resistance is necessary, but the key is to see if everyone is united. Ye Ming, you young people have broad vision and quick thinking. What do you think of this issue?
.”
Zhang Yimou is an old ginger and will not be fooled easily, so he kicked the ball to Ye Ming. At this time, Ye Ming looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Is it interesting? What can be discussed through such a discussion.
The key to the work is that the work speaks for itself. There is no good work. Talking about profit sharing, isn’t this just a castle in the air?
Therefore, if we discuss this way, there will be no sense of achievement at all. In such a matter, as long as we have good works and works that make the theaters excited, we can have bargaining chips with them.
Otherwise, even if all of you here go over together and negotiate with the people from the New Film Alliance, will they care?"
The window paper is just such a thin layer. Therefore, as long as this layer of window paper is broken, things will become relatively simple in such a situation.
Feng Xiaogang sneered twice, not knowing what he was laughing at: "It's boring. Ye Ming knows it. Don't we all remember it? Don't hide it. At this point, I will tell the truth.
.I think no one can escape from this matter. I originally wanted to shoot a movie with more literary and artistic themes. But then I thought about it and decided to shoot a comedy movie. After all, this is my specialty, and this one will also be ours.
We must have a good discussion on the division of the Huayi Brothers’ major event. Let’s see what you think.”
This is the bargaining chip of the Huayi brothers. The reason why it was said that it was not said by Wang Zhongjun, but by Feng Xiaogang. This is not to say that Feng Xiaogang usurped the show, but that Wang Zhongjun's methods were clever. What Feng Xiaogang said, in case something happens in the future
Changes. Then Wang Zhongjun also had a theory. If Wang Zhongjun said it, then things would not be easy to change. This was also discussed by Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang. The entertainment industry is changing rapidly, and these two have to be careful.
After Feng Xiaogang said that, Zhang Yimou pondered for a while and said: "Recently I have said that I have a shooting plan, but it is a low-cost film. Whether it can impress those in the theater chain, I can't say, but how much ability can make a big difference
In terms of ability, I myself would like to contribute my meager strength to this matter."
Wang Zhongjun felt relieved when he saw that Zhang Yimou had expressed his stance. In fact, he was just waiting for Zhang Yimou to speak. As long as Zhang Yimou spoke, it meant that the matter was actually half successful.
Therefore, at this time, Wang Zhongjun was very excited and said: "It would be great if Director Zhang can support it. Don't be humble. It's a small-cost movie. Your small-budget movie [not one less] will have no impact at all."
It’s not small, we can see this for all to see.”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhongjun glanced at Brother Chen Kai intentionally or unintentionally. This made Brother Chen Kai feel angry. Originally, Brother Chen Kai actually didn't intend to get involved in this matter. He even said he didn't want to come, but he also wanted to know about Wang Zhongjun.
I was waiting for something that I wanted to do, so I brought my wife over.
At this time, he saw that Zhang Yimou had also expressed his stance. This was the rhythm of forcing himself into the palace. Who in the circle didn't know that the last thing Chen Kai wanted was to lag behind Zhang Yimou.
Therefore, seeing the look in Wang Zhongjun's eyes, Brother Chen Kai wanted to go up and beat him twice, but in the end Brother Chen Kai still said: "My lips are dead and my teeth are cold. I understand this very well. As a director, I don't want to see this matter come to an end."
At this point, in the near future, I will have a big production, which should be quite shocking, but it is just a plan. There is still a long way to go before it is actually implemented. As long as there is no problem with funds.
, I will try to start by the end of the year, that will be the earliest.
But this is my share, we can’t just sit back and wait for death. The older generation will have to bear the wind and rain at critical times.”
Naturally, I said this to Ye Ming and Jiang Wen, especially to Ye Ming. This means that when the matter comes to a critical point, it will be up to us old guys to support it.
This may mean that most people can hear that it is directed at Ye Ming, but after all, Brother Chen Kai did not name him, and among the people present, the one who can be called a junior is Jiang Wen.
.
Therefore, in such a situation, Jiang Wen couldn't sit still. Is this a mockery of my youth?
Just when Jiang Wen was about to say something, Dong Ping said with a smile: "Director Chen has any masterpieces coming out. If you need help, I would like to provide you with some help. Let's not talk about it. Even if it's a few million, it won't be a problem."
of."
This was also frightened by [Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin]. Otherwise, with the fame of Brother Chen Kai, a few million would be a trivial matter, and tens of millions would be considered small money. But after all, Dong Ping suffered a loss from Brother Chen Kai.
, therefore, this time I became a little more cautious.
This also aroused Brother Chen Kai's dissatisfaction. He thought to himself, how many millions are you sending to beggars? It's not like bullying people. Therefore, Brother Chen Kai said with a somewhat unkind expression: "Then I would like to thank Manager Dong here. However,
I think the funding gap will be solved. I visited Ms. Xu from Tomson some time ago and she is quite interested in this matter. Therefore, the funding gap is probably not a big problem."
Now that he has the support of Tomson, Brother Chen Kai is just saying a few hypocritical words at this time. After all, the cooperation with Tomson has not yet been signed, and it has not become a black and white matter. Therefore, he has not fully said that it is his fault.
It will definitely be a big production.
This showed his dissatisfaction, but Dong Ping didn't care. As a businessman, he still had a broad mind at such a time and would not be angry at a word or two from Brother Chen Kai.
But at this time, there was something hard to pass. Jiang Wen immediately took over and said: "It's a coincidence. I also have a film. I think it can be shot and become a masterpiece. And this is not a plan, it is already done."
It’s started to work. It’s called [The Devils Are Coming], and it’s considered my own big production. Anyway, I’m very hardworking, so I shouldn’t have any problem winning an international award or something.”
This actually shows Jiang Wen's very strong self-confidence.
Being able to win an international award is not an ordinary achievement.
At this time, Wang Zhongjun finally became excited: "In this way, the four directors will all have their own works. If everyone works together, then I think we can achieve great results. We should have enough chips and theaters."
Negotiations are over. Ye Ming, but you are the only one left to express your gratitude. As the Berlin Best Actor, you cannot just sit back and watch."
Berlin Best Actor, this is a pretty big bargaining chip, and as a director, Ye Ming also has quite gratifying achievements. Therefore, this is an important reason why Wang Zhongjun brought Ye Ming over.
Ye Ming knew that it was impossible for him not to express his position, and he also knew very well that once the New Film Alliance did this, everyone present would not be able to reap the benefits.
Therefore, Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "I do have such a plan for shooting, but it is not possible for the time being, because I want to shoot Swordsman, and I promised others that it is impossible not to do it, right?"
Originally, after The Swordsman, I planned to shoot a palace TV show, which is a very interesting drama about palace fighting, but now that I have encountered this situation, I will advance the movie I planned.
Yesterday I also met Andy Lau, and I intentionally invited Andy to star in this movie. It should be a film co-produced with Hong Kong City. The quality, I have not said, is absolutely excellent."
With Andy Lau, Eric Tsang and other movie stars, how can this not be a powerful film? Ye Ming is still very confident about this film. It can be said to be the flagship film of Hong Kong films in the next ten years.
It’s not an exaggeration at all.
As he said, he originally planned to film the palace drama first, but now it seems that time is running out. (To be continued)
