Chapter 174 Dinner Party
Jin Chengwu heard this and thought that Wang Shu was giving him face. The smile on his face became even bigger. While handing Wang Shu his business card, he said: "Director Wang can make a movie next time. Call me. As long as there is no conflict with my schedule, I will seriously consider it.”
Wang Shu was delighted when he heard this and said to me, would you consider it if there is no conflict with my schedule?
He is indeed an actor from Treasure Island and deserves his reputation.
He knows that Jin Chengwu is an actor from Taiwan, and he is also a two-faced person.
Therefore, whether it was the style of Baodao actors or other aspects, he had never thought about collaborating with them.
It is undeniable that there are indeed very few capable commercial film directors in the Mainland, but there is never a shortage of actors.
Grab a handful and have as much as you want.
Wang Shu took Jincheng Wu’s business card politely and said with pretense of embarrassment: “I don’t have a business card, so I can’t give it to you.”
This is Zhou Xun’s fault. Yes, she looked at Jincheng Wu, whose face suddenly stiffened, and said: "Director Wang has indeed never had a business card, and has never given a business card to anyone else."
Jinchengwu knew that Zhou Xun and Wang Shu were familiar with each other. When he heard her say this, the expression on his face became better. Then he smiled and said, "It's okay. Director Wang has a movie in the future, just call me directly."
< br>"Okay." Wang Shu responded with a smile.
Jin Chengwu continued to chat for a few words, and gradually realized that the conversation between Wang Shu and Zhou Xun was delayed, so he said goodbye and left.
Seeing Jincheng Wu walking away, Zhou Xun turned his head to look at Wang Shu and asked curiously: "Are you really going to ask him to act?"
Wang Shu looked back at Zhou Xun , said: "What do you think?"
Zhou Xun had a dark face and looked unwilling to guess. Seeing that Wang Shu never took the initiative to say anything, he became even more angry.
Wang Shu felt something in his heart, and then said something ambiguous: "You also know that when I choose an actor, my first consideration is whether the actor is suitable for the role, and then other aspects will be considered."
"If there is a suitable one, I might consider Jin Chengwu’s role.”
“If not, I definitely won’t consider it.”
What he said to Zhou Xun was very tactful, but in fact he didn’t. I won’t ask Jin Chengwu to act.
"Why do you say that if there is a suitable role, you might consider it?" Seeing that Wang Shu finally took the initiative to say it, Zhou Xun felt proud at first, and then asked curiously.
Wang Shu heard this and replied calmly: "It's not like we don't have actors in the mainland. If other people are suitable, why should I go find an actor from the island to star?"
Zhou When Xun heard this, he was speechless.
Thinking of Jin Chengwu coming over on his own initiative, Zhou Xun suddenly realized something and immediately asked, "What if Baodao came to you for investment and asked Jin Chengwu to star?"
Wang Upon hearing this, Shu gave a speechless expression and asked: "Am I short of investment? Do I need investment from Baodao?"
When Zhou Xun heard this, he was speechless again.
She then chatted with Wang Shu for a while and said, "You can have fun here by yourself. I have some acquaintances who want to go over and say hello."
"Go ahead. "Wang Shu said with a smile.
Zhou Xun replied with a smile and then left.
Zhao Yanzi in the distance saw Zhou Xun leaving Wang Shu's side, and immediately stepped towards him.
"Hello, Director Wang, I am Zhao Yanzi. I like your movies very much."
"Whether it is "Buried Alive" or "The Tuner", I have watched them all."
>"They are all very excellent works!"
Zhao Yanzi accompanied Wang Shu with a smile and took the initiative to talk to Wang Shu.
"Hello, I have also watched "Huanzhugege", and Xiao Yanzi acted very well." Wang Shu answered with a smile.
At this time, Zhao Yanzi was only 30 years old. She was in the stage of fading away from youth and becoming mature, and she looked very charming.
It’s just this guy who has a big problem.
When Zhao Yanzi heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and she said again with a smile: "I haven't congratulated Director Wang for winning the Golden Deer Award at this Changchun Film Festival."
"Haha." Wang Shu laughed twice, "When you said that, I also remembered that you were also nominated for Best Actress."
"Although I missed it this time, there will be many opportunities in the future. Keep up the good work.”
Zhao Yanzi glanced at Wang Shu pretending to be resentful and said, "If Director Wang hadn't come here with "The Tuner", I would have had a good chance of winning the award, okay?"
Change it Other young men, seeing Zhao Yanzi being so resentful, would definitely be tempted to turn into flower protectors.
Only Wang Shu is different.
He said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't want to come at first, but in the end, I really had no choice but to come."
Zhao Yanzi's face froze when he heard this, and he could only It took a brief moment to sort out my emotions.
These words sounded to her ears as if Wang Shu and Jiang Wenli didn't want to come, but the organizer insisted on them coming, and also forced the grand prize she wanted but didn't get into their hands.
This feeling
There is an urge to curse.
Zhao Yanzi calmed down and was about to answer the conversation when Jiang Wenli led some people over and had to shut her mouth silently.
"Zhao Yanzi, are you here too?" Jiang Wenli and the people behind her first exchanged a few polite words with Zhao Yanzi, and then Jiang Wenli introduced the identities of the people behind her to Wang Shu.
Wang Shu also knew that some communication was unavoidable on such occasions, so he immediately started chatting with them with a smile on his face.
Zhao Yanzi looked on and found that there was no chance to interrupt, so she turned around and left silently.
Wang Shu is the director who won the Best Actress Award at Cannes, which is a great help for her who wants to go further in the film and television industry.
It’s just that I couldn’t get online.
In fact, her company had already contacted Wang Shu’s Yishu company. However, Wang Shu was not short of investment, which led to many actors, including Zhao Yanzi, wanting to play Wang Shu’s role, but there were no Corresponding measures. Other directors will basically seek investment from outside when filming.
Therefore, the casting rights are in the hands of investors and producers.
The investor or producer has the final say as to which actor they want to star in.
The director is just a part-time worker.
Directors like Wang Shu, who is not short of investment and is an investor himself, are not included in this list.
It's not easy to plug actors.
Just like Zhou Xingxing in Hong Kong Island, he has the final say in the selection of actors in the plays he produces.
Rather than the investors and producers making the decision.
"Cannes. Best Actress" Zhao Yanzi whispered to herself.
Her goal has always been to enter the international stage.
It's just that although she has acted in several movies now, "Lovers' Knot" helped her win the Best Actress Award at the 8th Shanghai International Film Festival and the Best Actress Award at the 11th Huabiao Awards. .
Originally, she would also win the Best Actress Award at this Changchun Film Festival.
In addition to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, I have won all the prestigious awards in the Mainland.
The appearance of Jiang Wenli interrupted this momentum.
The culprit is approximately equal to Wang Shu.
The dinner ended with many people working in the film and television industry interacting with each other. Wang Shu, as an accomplished director, was roped in to exchange phone numbers even though he did not have a business card.
Jiang Wenli glared at him angrily and said speechlessly: "You are the boss of a company now, why don't you even have a business card?"
Wang Shu smiled awkwardly. : "When I go back this time, let the people in the company prepare it."
In fact, the company had already prepared a business card for him, but he didn't use it.
Jiang Wenli shook her head and asked, "Should we go back to the hotel now or somewhere else?"
"I'm not familiar with this place. Where else can I go if I don't go back to the hotel?" Wang Shu answered subconsciously.
Hearing this, Jiang Wenli looked at him and asked softly, intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you want me to take you around?"
"It's so late? Where can we go?" Wang The tree declined.
The award ceremony started at 7 o'clock in the evening and lasted for more than an hour, followed by the dinner party. It is now past ten o'clock.
Jiang Wenli also felt that it was a little late, so she did not continue the topic, but asked: "Going back tomorrow?"
"The crew is still waiting. A day's delay will cost a day. How can we not go back in a hurry?" Wang Shu answered.
Jiang Wenli nodded, knowing that Wang Shu was directing and acting in an idol drama.
The heroine is still Fan Binbin.
She couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Why are you so persistent in making idol dramas?"
"Isn't it bad to make movies?"
Wang Shu knew that many people would have this doubt, so he immediately explained with a smile: "I plan to lead the team in the company to gain experience. What will I do if I don't make idol dramas?"
When Jiang Wenli heard this explanation, she thought the same thing. , then asked with a smile: "Are you ready to train your own team for filming?"
"You have already opened a company, you can't just go out and piece together a team every time you film, right?" Wang Shu He answered with a smile.
Jiang Wenli nodded and responded with a smile: "That's the truth."
"If you want to become bigger and stronger, you really need to cultivate your own team so that you can recruit a crew to film movies in the future. Also convenient.”
Wang Shu smiled and said: "So... this is not just about filming idol dramas?"
"After all, the team in my company is considered a novice. If we start working on other projects from the beginning, we may be too busy to do it well."
“Idol dramas are relatively simple.”
After Jiang Wenli heard Wang Shu’s explanation, she already understood what was going on, and then smiled and said: “We are already preparing to train our own team, so there is no need to Thinking of becoming an artist manager?”
Wang Shu said with a smile: “I have no plans for this yet.”
He didn't talk too much, and he might sign some artists in the future.
Just now, no need.
It’s not too late to get involved until you reach the level of Zhang Yimou or Zhou Xingxing.
Because, at that time, he can also find any artist and turn him into a tree girl.
Of course, just like Zhang Yimou and Zhou Xingxing, they have to sign a contract with their own company before they can praise them.
Otherwise, why should you praise it?
In fact, domestic entertainment companies that are both producers and artist managers are considered a monopoly and seriously infringe on the rights and interests of artists.
Although, if you don’t sign the overlord treaty, why should others praise you?
But. Is there a possibility?
As long as the relevant laws and regulations are more standardized, if a production company wants to make money from a project, do they have to support it even if they don’t support it?
It is undeniable that the domestic market will become bigger and bigger in the future, and many artists will be paid very high salaries.
But.
Many newcomers are faced with various overlord clauses that violate their three views.
What’s more, after signing the contract, they still have to pay money to work for the company.
