Chapter 540 Haima Film and Television Studio
"How is it? Your company is filming this." Fang Minghua asked casually, staring at the TV.
“However, I have always felt that this novel is not very exciting.” Song Tangtang frowned.
Song Tangtang originally planned to shoot the book "Crossing Guandong" written by Fang Minghua, but Fang Minghua told him that he wanted to shoot this one.
Before the Spring Festival, after Fang Minghua got the book, he immediately asked Song Tangtang to contact the publisher of the book, China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Publishing House, and through the publisher he found the author of the book, Cao Guilin, who has a company in the United States.
Fang Minghua called Sun Lizhe who was far away in the United States and asked him to help negotiate with Cao Guilin to buy the TV series adaptation rights of this book on behalf of Shengshi Film and Television.
Everything went well.
Now that he heard his wife say this again, Fang Minghua said with a smile: "The story is not very exciting. The other party is just an amateur author after all, but you have to deny that this subject matter is very novel to the common people in China. , they want to see it too.”
“Everyone wants to go abroad. Even if they don’t have the money or ability to go abroad, it’s good to see the lives of our compatriots abroad.”
“But. "The description in the book is quite tragic," Song Tangtang added.
"Didn't the author say it at the beginning, if you "If you love someone, send him to New York, because that is heaven; if you hate someone, send him to New York, because that is hell." "Fang Minghua said with a smile.
Seeing Song Tangtang's hesitation, Fang Minghua added: "If you don't want to take the photo, maybe Zheng Xiaolong and the others want to take the photo. "
"How do you know? "
"Guess. "Fang Minghua replied leisurely.
"Minghua, I asked about something. Wang Shuo, Ma Weidu, Feng Xiaogang and others established a company called "Haima Studio" in Yanjing. "The Story of the Editorial Department" "" is their work. I heard that there are friends you know among the members. "Song Tangtang said suddenly.
"Mo Yan, Liu Zhenyun, and Hai Yi, Su Tong, and Tie Sheng?" Fang Minghua said with a faint smile.
"Huh? Brother Shi also participated? I don't know that."
"It's okay, don't worry, their studio won't last long."
"Why ?”
“They are all elites. Who can control them? Just him, Wang Shuo?” Fang Minghua laughed.
Today, these people came to Room 1154 of the Jingdong Huadu Hotel where they often gather. Wang Shuo, Liu Yiran, Wu Bin, Wei Ren, Su Lei, Ma Weidu, Ge Xiaogang, Mo Yan, Zhu Xiaoping, Liu Heng, Liu Zhenyun, Hai Yi, and Su Tong were all present.
Feng Xiaogang told Wang Shuo about the discussion in Zheng Xiaolong’s office that day.
At this time, Wang Shuo is no longer the young man he used to be. He has a crew cut. He is sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and a "Hua Zi" in his hand. He looks like a big boss. .
Listening to Feng Xiaogang’s lengthy narrative, I felt a little impatient.
Actually, Zheng Xiaolong had already called him and told him everything.
What he is thinking right now is:
Hey
Zheng Xiaolong and Fang Minghua are at odds?
He now knows clearly that Fang Minghua is the actual controller of Shengshi Group.
Without Fang Minghua, Shengshi Film and Television and Shengshi Books would be nothing!
interesting.
He loves and hates Fang Minghua.
The two have a relationship and can be regarded as friends. Fang Minghua gave him a hand at the beginning, and he was very grateful.
But in his heart, there was an inexplicable hostility from the beginning, and even he himself couldn't explain why.
After finally hearing what Feng Xiaogang said, Wang Shuo took a puff of cigarette and said:
"Everyone knows the ins and outs. Shengshi Film and Television is aggressive, so Xiaolong asked our studio to come up with another script, and everyone will share their thoughts."
Unlike the usual gatherings where everyone talks and laughs, today the room But it seemed surprisingly quiet.
This is when everyone finally understood.
Holy shit
There are so many twists and turns in the story! Mo Yan, Su Tong, and Liu Zhenyun were even more shocked. They had been fighting for a long time because they were competing with Fang Minghua.
The three of them glanced at each other and exchanged glances.
The subtle expressions of the three of them did not escape Wang Shuo's eyes.
Wang Shuo took another puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Actually, everyone knows that the husband of Song Tangtang, the general manager of Shengshi Film and Television, is Fang Minghua. The scripts of these two TV series invested by Shengshi Film and Television are all written by Fang Minghua. Written by Fang Minghua, who is the soul of Shengshi Film and Television and even Shengshi Group. "
"I know that many of you here, including me, are familiar with Fang Minghua and are considered friends, and they are all more or less educated in literature. I don’t deny his guidance.”
The room was still quiet except for Wang Shuo's voice.
“But what I want to say is that friends are friends and business is business. Our Haima Studio was established to make some profits for the friends here. Now Xiaolong’s Yanjing Art Center and Shengshi Film and Television are in conflict. , I will definitely help Xiaolong this time. As for whether you don’t want to join in this script, it’s up to you.”
Some people immediately expressed their intention to continue working with Wang Shuo, and of course some remained silent.
Wang Shuo took a look and saw that it was still Mo Yan, Su Tong and Liu Zhenyun.
But he didn't say much, but said with a smile: "That's it for today's discussion. Let's go to the Weidu Seahorse Dance Hall to dance in the evening. I'll treat you."
Ma Weidu, who was sitting next to him, smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
Are you treating me to a treat?
Master Shuo, when did you pay for it?
In the evening, the Haima Dance Hall on East Fourth Street was still full, and most people from Haima Studio came as scheduled.
Only three people didn’t go.
Mo Yan, Su Tong, Liu Zhenyun.
Fang Minghua, who is located in Xijing, naturally does not know these details, and now he is getting busy again.
The "Twilight Saga" is not finished yet, and now I have to write the script of "Yenjing Man in New York".
Zhang Yimou will definitely not make any more movies. His heart is set on the big screen. I heard that he is currently planning a new movie.
As for who will film it, Song Tangtang has not decided yet. We will wait until the script is written.
It is early spring. Fang Minghua is sitting in his study, looking out the window at a weeping willow tree that has sprouted buds, and the spring scenery is bright outside.
I still have to work hard to code.
I will try to finish "Twilight" this week and take a few days off before writing the script of "Yenjing Man in New York".
At this moment, the landline phone next to the desk rang, and Fang Minghua picked up the phone.
Since moving to this small courtyard, it has been inconvenient to answer calls upstairs and downstairs. Fang Minghua asked someone from the post and telecommunications office to help connect the extensions so that he did not have to go downstairs to answer the phone.
"Hello, who's there?"
"Minghua, I'm Yimo."
"Yimou, why are you not busy anymore? I heard that you are planning to shoot a new movie recently?"
"Yes, are you free now? I want to come to your house to discuss something with you, which is about my new movie."
"If you are free, come on."< br>
About half an hour later, Fang Minghua heard a knock on the door outside the yard. Fang Minghua went downstairs to open the door, and saw a thin man standing outside the door. It was Zhang Yimou.
Fang Minghua invited him into the living room, poured him another cup of tea, then sat on the sofa and asked, "Yimou, what's up with your new movie?"
"I liked it. I want you to help adapt a novel into a script." Zhang Yimou took out a magazine from the briefcase he was holding, and it turned out to be "Yanhe".
He turned to the first few pages and handed it to Fang Minghua: "This is the novel."
Fang Minghua took it and took a look.
Su Tong's "Wives and Concubines"!
