Chapter 651: Thousands of Gold to Buy Horse Bones
“Okay, but I have a condition.” Wu Tianmin said.
"Please speak."
"I am just a vice president in name. My focus is still on making movies, and I already have a script called "Face Changing". I hope Mr. Song can Agreed to start filming.”
Wu Tianmin gave a brief summary of the script.
During the Republic of China, there was an old artist named "King of Changing Face" who abided by the tradition. In order to inherit his legacy, he accepted a dog boy as his apprentice. Unexpectedly, the dog boy was a woman disguised as a man. After a series of encounters and changes, the King of Face Changing finally broke the tradition of "passing on the male rather than the female". The old rules, pass on the skills to Gouwa.
When Wu Tianmin finished speaking, Song Tangtang immediately said: "Director Wu, this is not difficult. I will ask the project department to arrange the project for you immediately."
"Thank you then."
"Why are you so polite? Director Wu, no, Mr. Wu, we are colleagues now." Song Tangtang said with a smile.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Mr. Wu." Zhang Yimou next to him immediately raised his glass.
Wu Tianmin can work in the prosperous age and continue to make movies. This is the best result.
"Congratulations, Director Wu."
"Congratulations, Mr. Wu."
The rest of the people also raised their glasses, some with envious looks on their faces .
Everyone enjoyed the drink.
On the way home, Song Tangtang drove the car and hummed a song.
There is a cloud made of rain in the wind
A cloud made of rain
The heart of the cloud is full of rain
A very popular song recently Song, "There is a Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind" by Meng Tingwei
Fang Minghua, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at his wife: "Now, is it as you wished?"
"Of course, if Wu Tianmin can come over, our Shengshi Film and Television will be even more powerful, let alone his directing skills. , in terms of his influence in Xijing and even the national film and television industry, this is like setting a benchmark: Look, Wu Tianmin is coming, why don’t you come?”
Song Tangtang was a little proud.
Fang Minghua smiled slightly.
He had known his wife's ambition to poach Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, He Ping and Zhao Jiping, all the backbones of Xiying Studio!
Of course, it has to be done step by step, but Wu Tianmin's arrival is a good start.
"I will sign the employment contract tomorrow. I originally wanted him to take charge of the construction of the film and television base. He has been a director and is an expert. Since he wants to make a film, let him do it!" Song Tangtang said.
"Solve his housing problem." Fang Minghua reminded: "Look at the family building in Xiying Studio where he lives now. It is shabby and small. Besides, if he really works in the company, the house will definitely not be there. I can’t live here any longer.”
“Don’t worry, I have arranged for someone to solve this problem. There is a community under construction near Cuihua Road called “Wulongtang Community”. The location is good and it is relatively close to the TV Tower. It has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and the house is very decent. The company is going to buy one for him.”
“In addition, as the vice president of the company, we will provide him with a car. All of us at the vice president level ride Santana. How about I buy him a Toyota Crown?”
"Okay, I'm willing to invest." Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"I just want to set an example for others. A thousand pieces of gold buys horse bones." Song Tangtang smiled sweetly and said, "Why did Zhang Yimou come here?"
"Zhang Yimou is from Xiying Studio. Although he is cooperating with us and other film studios to make films, as long as his personnel relationship is with Xiying, he is a person from Xiying. How could he let him go so easily?"
"But me? It won’t take more than two years. At that time, not only Xiying Film Studio, but also Beijing Film and Television Films and Changying Film were in recession. Have you forgotten that the country will start introducing ten foreign blockbusters this year, especially those from Hollywood, which will be a big hit for ordinary audiences? It's a good thing, but for us film studios, this is simply a disaster."
"Is it so terrible?" Song Tangtang seemed a little unconvinced. "You'll know when the time comes." Fang Minghua smiled slightly.
If nothing else, "True Lies" swept the entire mainland of China.
At a time when movie tickets in the Mainland are usually around five yuan, the ticket price for this movie is actually as high as 30 yuan!
Do you want other movies to survive?
Tianming officially joined Shengshi Film and Television, which caused a shock not only in Xijing, but also in the film and television circles across the country.
The former director of Tangtang Xiying Film Studio and a famous director actually went to a private company!
Although Shengshi Film and Television has become very popular in the film and television industry in the past two years, the leaders of the old film studios still look at this young film company with a condescending attitude.
I look down upon it in my heart.
If we weren’t merciful, you wouldn’t even be qualified to obtain the Dragon Label!
In the film and television industry, he is just a second-class citizen.
But Wu Tianmin, who came back from the United States, threw himself into its arms without hesitation! And the superior treatment given by the company makes some filmmakers envious.
Someone made me excited.
He is Wang Quan'an of Xiying Studio.
Since filming the script "Textile Girl" written by Fang Minghua, which won awards both internationally and domestically, he has become one of the new domestic directors.
However, he was still an employee of Xiying Studio. At this time, Xiying Studio was still full of talents, including Xie Fei, Zhang Zien, Teng Wenji, Xu Huanshan, Yao Shougang, Yan Xueshu, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Huang Jianxin< br>
Now that the domestic film market is deteriorating, so many directors are making films to make a living, so how could it be his turn?
So he had the idea of changing jobs.
But in this day and age, changing jobs from a state-owned film studio to a private enterprise without status or establishment requires a certain amount of courage, so he asked his good friend Zhang Jiayi for advice.
Since Zhang Jiayi starred in the male lead Sun Shaoping in "The Ordinary World", he has become an instant hit. He has been making movies and TV series one after another.
In 1992, he starred in the drama film "The Great Split" directed by Pan Peicheng, in which he played the role of Sha Gao, who makes a living by playing monkeys and invites villagers to Zhenping;
In the same year, he co-starred with Zhai Naishe and Qu Guoqiang in the drama film "Cruel Summer", in which he played the role of Zhu Guorong, the adopted grandson of the Zhu family.
This year, he starred in the movie "Messy Hair" directed by Guan Hu, which has now entered the finalization stage.
Zhang Jiayi listened to Wang Quan'an's thoughts. He thought for a moment and said, "Just go over there. I'm watching. This Xiying Film Studio will be finished sooner or later!"
"You think so too. ?”
“Isn’t this obvious? Look, how many movies has our Xi Film Studio produced in the past two years? Almost all of them have been sold under the Dragon Label label!” "Gao Gao Guang", Xie Fei's "Fragrant Soul Girl". These all won awards abroad, but it turned out that they were all from our factory, and other companies came to invest!"
"If this continues, these directors will leave sooner or later. You might as well take the first step."
"I think so too. Of course, the treatment at Shengshi Film and Television is also good." Wang Quan'an chuckled.
Shengshi Film and Television bought Wu Tianmin a house and a car. Of course he was not qualified, but after that, the salary would not be like the four to five hundred yuan salary at Xiying Film Studio, right?
Of course, more importantly, there are movies to shoot there!
"Okay, then it's settled!" Wang Quanan made up his mind: "I'll go find Fang Minghua!"
"Hey, why didn't you go to Mr. Song instead of Mr. Minghua?" Zhang Jiayi was a little surprised.
"If Teacher Minghua agrees, can Mr. Song object?" Wang Quan'an asked rhetorically.
This is also.
Zhang Jiayi nodded.
Everyone in the Xijing literary and art circles now knows that the soul behind Shengshi Group, the largest private enterprise in Qin Province, is Fang Minghua.
Of course, Wang Quan'an had another idea that he didn't tell Zhang Jiayi.
He also wants to film a novel written by Fang Minghua.
