Zhang Jun is the deputy director of the production department of Huayang Brothers Media. He was ordered to come to Donghua to find Li Qian and sign the new director to Huayang Media.
Although he was a little unhappy that his dignified vice president was sent to do errands, he also knew that the company really needed capable directors.
Now there is only Ma Xiaogang, who is dragging himself to death. If he doesn't make good comedies, he won't make any war movies. Even Huang Zhongjun can't do anything about him, let alone himself as the vice president.
If there is a second director in the company who can sell well, he and Ma Xiaogang can restrain each other and make him restrain himself, which will make things easier for him as the vice president.
It would be great if Li Qian really had the ability. Let alone go there in person, Zhang Jun would have to take care of him even if he visited the thatched cottage three times.
But there is a problem right now. He still doesn't know where Li Qian lives. After all, the film and television industry and the Internet University are completely different circles, with almost no connection.
During this period, neither Galaxy Video nor Lu Entai and Lei Jiayin could ask for Li Qian's phone number and address.
He could only find someone to ask first. Zhang Jun thought for a while, found a number on his phone that had not been deleted, and dialed it.
At the beginning of the year, after the online movie "Tao Chang Chu Shan" became a hit, the director Xu Tao took the initiative to contact Huayang Media, hoping to attract investment to make a theatrical movie.
At that time, it was the first time that an online movie sold a box office of 8 million yuan. Zhang Jun was originally quite interested, but after watching the movie, he stopped thinking about it.
The call was quickly answered.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang."
On the other side of the phone, Xu Tao, who was also preparing for a new film, looked surprised. Unexpectedly, the deputy director of the production department of Huayang Media took the initiative to call him.
"Hello, Director Xu, I'm Zhang Jun. I want to ask you something." Zhang Jun said with a smile, even if he looked down on the other party, after all, he had something to talk to someone else about.
"Mr. Zhang, if you have any questions, just ask." Xu Tao said quickly.
Hearing Zhang Jun's tone, Xu Tao began to feel excited.
Are you here to cooperate with me?
The more Xu Tao thought about it, the more likely it became. After all, he had two successful online movies in succession. Although they were not as good as "Sniper Phone Booth", they were the only ones in the entire online movie industry.
Thinking of this, Xu Tao became excited. If he could cooperate with Huayang Media, he would be able to complete his transition from a great internet director to a real film director.
After all, it is the largest film and television production company in China, and its production, promotion, and distribution resources are all top-notch in the industry.
However, Zhang Jun's next words poured cold water on him.
"I would like to ask if Director Xu knows the contact number and address of Li Qian, the director of "Sniper Phone Booth". After all, you are both in Donghua, and you are all in the same network."
"Li Qian?"
Xu Tao's face froze. He never expected that Zhang Jun called just to find someone, and this person was the person he hated the most.
"Yes, that's Li Qian. You both studied in Donghua University, so you should know him."
"It means we know each other."
Xu Tao felt extremely insulted, as if the goddess he had longed for suddenly called. He thought his goddess was finally touched by him, but it turned out that the other person just came to ask for the contact information of another man.
However, since the other party was the vice president of Huayang Media after all, Xu Tao still suppressed his resentment and told Li Qian the address and contact information of his studio.
"Thank you, Director Xu. Let's have a meal someday when we have time."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, Mr. Zhang."
Xu Tao smiled apologetically and was about to say a few polite words and introduce his new film, but the other person gave up.
His face stiffened, and he slammed his cell phone on the table, knocking over the water glass, and most of the manuscript in front of him got wet.
"Grass!!!"
He cursed angrily and hurriedly cleared the table.
On the other end of the phone, after Zhang Jun hung up the phone, he deleted Xu Tao's number from his contacts and saved Li Qian's phone number at the same time.
After thinking for a while, he still didn't call. He stopped a taxi and gave the address of Li Qian's studio.
However, the studio door was closed, so Zhang Jun had no choice but to call Li Qian.
First call, turn off the phone.
Zhang Jun frowned and hit again.
Still powered off.
Wait for a while and call again.
Or shut down.
His face darkened, he cursed in his mind, and found a restaurant across the street, where he ordered some food and ate while waiting.
I made a phone call every hour and waited until evening, and finally saw a man opening the door of the studio.
Zhang Jun quickly walked forward and said, "Hello."
Guo Fan, who had just opened the door and had not yet entered the studio, was slightly startled when he heard the voice behind him.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, I am Zhao Jun, director of the production department of Huayang Media."
Zhao Jun handed over a business card, looked at Guo Fan, and said with a smile, "Is this director Li Qian's studio?"
Guo Fan took the business card and saw that it was true. He had been to Huayang Media and knew a little bit about the top executives of the largest film and television company in the country.
Sure enough, you still have to rely on your works to speak for yourself. I had tried every means to join Huayang Media but failed, but now one of their vice presidents came to see Li Qian in person.
"Yes, do you have anything to do with Director Li?"
"I called Director Li several times, but no one answered. Can you tell me where he lives?" Zhao Jun said.
After all, the other party was the vice president of Huayang Media. Although Guo Fan had no good impression of this company because of the previous incident, Li Qian should be having dinner now and would not disturb him, so he made a call.
The call was quickly answered.
"Director Li, there is Mr. Zhang from Huayang Media here looking for you."
"Huayang Media, why did they come to your door?"
Li Qian on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment and said, "Give him the phone."
"Hello Director Li, I am Zhang Jun, director of the production department of Huayang Media. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to meet and chat."
After receiving the call, Zhang Jun introduced himself and at the same time scolded Xu Tao in his heart for daring to give him a fake phone number.
In fact, Xu Tao gave Li Qian his previous work number, but it is no longer used. I don’t know how he would feel if he knew that he was wrongly accused of being a dog licker.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I'm busy right now. If you have anything to do, please call me." Li Qian also probably knew the other party's intention. He just wanted to sign him. Apart from that, Li Qian couldn't think of any other reason.
Zhang Jun frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Li Qian wouldn't even let him see him, but he had no choice but to explain his purpose and said with a smile.
"Director Li, I have watched the movie "Sniper Phone Booth" you just made many times. Even compared with theater movies, it is a very good movie. I think with your talent, it is really unfair to make another big online movie.
.
We at Huayang Media are in need of excellent directors like you. As the largest film and television production company in China, we can equip you with the best shooting team, the best actors, the best publicity resources, and any scripts in the company's script library.
You can choose any crew you want.”
There are a lot of things, and Zhang Jun is not here for nothing. Huayang Media is definitely the dream place for every new director. No matter what you need, you can get it here, even if you want to assemble an all-star lineup, it will be no problem, as long as
Have this strength.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhang, I have already started preparations for my next online movie, and I have no plans to enter the big screen yet."
Although he was rejected unexpectedly, Zhang Jun continued to persuade, "Director Li, Internet University is an Internet University after all. With your ability, there is no need to film another Internet University. The level of "Sniper Phone Booth" has already reached the level of a theatrical movie.
At your level, the big screen is the stage for you to perform."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, the film is already in preparation, and we have signed a contract with Galaxy Video in advance. I appreciate your company's kindness."
"That's it. I have something else to do. I'll treat Mr. Zhang to dinner another day."
He casually found an excuse to reject the other party, and Li Qian hung up the phone.
He has no interest in going to Huayang Media. Not to mention anything else, there are only four popular first-line female stars in their company, and there are also several first- and second-tier male stars. A small half of the stars in the film and television industry are in Huayang.
script.
Li Qian doesn't want to be the emperor in a palace-fighting drama. When the show starts, a large group of people come overtly and covertly to get roles, which would be annoying to death.
Besides, even Ma Xiaogang doesn't have absolute freedom in Huayang Media. "Assembly" didn't temporarily add a character to Deng Chao as a meeting gift, so why bother himself?
