Chapter 14 Wine Bureau
After three drinks, Zhang Hanyu felt a little better and suddenly took out a red envelope from his arms.
“Mr. Wang, look what this is?”
“I took a sneak peek at the red envelope that Director Wang just gave me, and it said there were at least two hundred thousand in it.”
< br>“I didn’t want it just now, but Director Wang insisted on giving it to me.”
"Later, I couldn't shirk it, so I accepted it."
Wang Zhonglei looked at the red envelope Zhang Hanyu took out after hearing this. The red envelope was very thick, and there was a lot at first glance. Then he looked at Wang Shu with a smile: "It seems Director Wang gained a lot from this trip to Berlin?”
“It’s just a hard-earned money,” Wang Shu answered vaguely.
He looked at Zhang Hanyu, who had a red face and seemed to have drunk too much
Wang Zhonglei did not ask in detail, raised his glass and gave a toast, then asked: "What does Director Wang think of our Huayi?" Like? ”
"Very good." Wang Shu took a sip of wine and responded flatteringly, "The leading private enterprise in the Mainland has many well-known artists under its banner. It has both strength and resources."
The leading private enterprise in the Mainland?
"Haha." Wang Zhonglei looked at Wang Shu with a smile, "Director Wang, are you interested in joining our big family?"
Wang Shu responded with a glass of wine, unmoved. Said: "Thanks to Mr. Wang for being considerate."
"It's just that I want to try setting up a company by myself."
Wang Shu didn't mention the studio, because the studio can be affiliated to the company.
Although Huayi has a good reputation in the mainland and is even more popular after its listing, Wang Shu is not interested in this company.
Wang Zhonglei and Zhang Hanyu were stunned for a moment when they heard this. They had different thoughts.
Zhang Hanyu also thought that Wang Shu would establish a studio affiliated with Huayi and the two parties would form a cooperative relationship. He would also follow this line and continue to star in films directed by Wang Shu in the future.
Now
When Wang Zhonglei heard this, he felt more disdain and disgust in his heart.
Not to mention that Zhang Yimou only opened a studio to cooperate with new pictures, but his own Feng Xiaogang is closely connected with Huayi. The young boy in front of him just won a low-level award in Berlin. Thinking of starting a company.
Really, I don’t know how high the world is!
"If that's the case, then I won't force it." Wang Zhonglei smiled and said polite words.
"Mr. Wang, you're welcome." Wang Shu toasted a glass of wine.
"I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Wang Zhonglei smiled, picked up the cup, made a gesture, and put it on the table without drinking.
“Yes.” Wang Shu drank half the glass of liquor in one gulp.
Wang Zhonglei is one of the leaders of a leading private enterprise in the mainland, so he cannot offend the other party too harshly.
Then, after chatting about some trivial matters, Wang Zhonglei found a reason to leave first.
Zhang Hanyu and Wang Shu stood up and politely sent him out the door. Zhang Hanyu followed him out of the store before returning.
When he returned to the private room, Zhang Hanyu shook his head and couldn't help complaining: "Mr. Xiao Wang took time out of his busy schedule to come and see you. It was Corporal Li Xian." "
Wang Shu smiled and said: "I really plan to start my own company, I didn't just say it casually."
"Really?" Zhang Hanyu was stunned, a little afraid. Confidence.
These days, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have connections. It’s not easy to set up a film and television company rashly.
"Why are you lying to me?" Wang Shu shrugged, "I planned to open a studio before, but then I thought it would be better to open a company directly."
"It seems that you are serious." Zhang Hanyu couldn't help but Thinking of the period when he started his business, he sighed a little, and then gave Wang Shu a toast.
The two continued to chat for a while while eating and drinking. Wang Shu suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you just now that the domestic distribution rights of "Buried Alive" have been sold to China Film."
“As long as the film can pass the censorship, China Film will start to announce it and release it in theaters after a while.”
Distribution rights do not mean distribution. Distribution usually refers to publicity, including theatrical performances, posters, Internet and other promotions.
Distribution rights are the rights to distribute copyrights, including selling them to theaters, the Internet, television, etc.
Zhang Hanyu's eyes lit up after hearing this. China Film Group is the leading state-owned enterprise and has a hundred times better connections than Huayi.
"Buried Alive" is handed over to China Film, which indicates that there is a 99% chance that it will land in domestic theaters.
"Did you say when it will be released?" Zhang Hanyu asked impatiently.
"Buried Alive" only received one nomination in Berlin, and he is now waiting for its domestic release to open up his reputation.
"I didn't ask about that." Wang Shu could understand Zhang Hanyu's eagerness. Although "Buried Alive" won an award in Berlin, it only had a few screenings in Berlin. Few people in China have watched the entire film. They were all blinded and had no idea what the content was. This was obviously something Zhang Hanyu, who wanted to stand out, did not want to see.
“However, with China Film’s strength, it is only a matter of time before “Buried Alive” is released in theaters. Just wait patiently.”
In 2003, Huayi joined hands with Xiying to establish Xiying. Yinghuayi Film Distribution Company is involved in the film and television distribution business.
Wang Shu guessed that Wang Zhonglei had not asked about the domestic distribution of "Buried Alive" just now, and he should have known in advance that he had packaged and sold the distribution rights of "Buried Alive" to China Film.
"We can only wait." Zhang Hanyu took a sip of wine and sighed.
He watched the entire film "Buried Alive" when he was in Berlin. Although he did not win the Best Actor Award in the end, he knew clearly that "Buried Alive" was a very good work, otherwise he would not have won the award. Received the Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award.
And he is the leading actor in the film.
For a film like this to land in domestic theaters, regardless of the box office, it will be of great benefit to his future development.
Therefore, he really wants "Buried Alive" to enter theaters so that audiences across the country can see the male protagonist he plays.
Wang Shu also took a sip of white wine, and the two continued chatting for a while and then broke up.
It was already eleven or twelve o'clock when he returned home. Wang Shu fell asleep and slept until the third day of the sun.
Xingze International.
Cai Xin came to the company early, and on her desk was a cup of hot coffee that her secretary had brewed in advance.
She took a sip of coffee, then picked up a newspaper and read it.
"Peacock directed by Gu Changwei won the Silver Bear Award at the 55th Berlin International Film Festival Jury Prize"
There was a picture attached to the newspaper, and she saw Gu Changwei holding the trophy in his hand.
However, when she continued to look down, her eyes widened.
In front of her eyes, there was a row of eye-catching fonts.
Buried Alive, directed by young director Wang Shu, won the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award at the 55th Berlin Film Festival.
Looking down, there is a picture. The young director in the picture looks exactly like the young man who sat across from her desk that day and was selling the script.
Seeing this, Cai Xin was completely dumbfounded.
She quickly looked at the date in the newspaper, three days ago.
There was once a script that could win an award at the Berlin Film Festival, but she didn't cherish it.
Now
She was originally very motivated when she came to the company early in the morning, but she suddenly collapsed on the office chair like a deflated rubber ball.
"If it had invested in "Buried Alive", then Xingze International would have become famous in China by now."
"If."
