Chapter 504 Said he wanted to make a co-production blockbuster
Waiting for Wang Shu and Wang Jinhua to finish the call, Yang Wei put the phone on the table, spread his hands and said: "I really didn't tell Sister Jinhua that I would have barbecue with you. "
"I came here after I received your call. I really don't know how she knew. "
Wang Shu also knew that Yang Wei didn't need to lie to him about this kind of thing. The place where the two of them had barbecue was at a roadside stall. He had been sitting alone for a while, and there were people coming and going around him. Maybe the news would spread just like that.
Then he smiled and said: "It's okay."
When Yang Wei saw that Wang Shu didn't pay attention, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Wang Shu would mistakenly think that he had informed Wang Jinhua, which would affect their friendship.
Thought for a while, and then said: "Although Sister Jinhua parted ways with Chengtian and established a studio, the situation is not very good."
"In the film field, Huayi and Chengtian They don’t use Sister Jinhua’s artists.”
“In terms of TV dramas, Tangren and others only use their own artists.”
“These companies control almost most of the film and television resources in the industry, so Jinhua. Sister Hua doesn’t have many good resources to allocate now.”
"Even if there are, there are too many monks and not enough flesh and blood."
"But these have nothing to do with me. Anyway, I just play some supporting roles, so I still have these resources."
"It is mainly the protagonist role. Resources, as well as high-quality protagonist drama resources, are more monks and less meat."
Wang Shu nodded. The film company has a monopoly-style operation, and a simple brokerage company has a far-fetched future. This is what Wang Jinhua encountered. Dilemma is inevitable.
In the future, it is inevitable that it will gradually become silent.
The two had just chatted for a few words when Wang Shu's cell phone rang. He pulled it out and saw that it was Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film Studio.
Wang Shu sighed in his heart, guessing that he was here again for the co-production of a film.
Since he answered Wang Jinhua’s call just now, Wang Shu knew that his mention of a co-production film at lunch had spread to many people’s ears.
"Hello." Wang Shu answered the phone.
"Haha, Director Wang, I called you suddenly, didn't I disturb you?" Ren Zhonglun said with a smile.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Ren?" Wang Shu responded with a smile, and then said, "I wonder why Mr. Ren suddenly called me about something?"
Ren Zhonglun also knew that Wang Shu didn't like to talk. Nonsense, he immediately said: "Didn't I hear that you are planning to prepare a co-production? So I called and asked if there is any place where Shanghai Film could use it."
Shanghai Film has become the most profitable company in China in the past two years. The film company now has a lot of money and has always wanted to make big moves, but there are no good projects.
Wang Shu knew this very well, so he said: "This matter is just mentioned. It is not certain whether it will succeed in the end."
"Haha." Ren Zhonglun said with a smile. : "Since Director Wang would bring it up, he must have an idea."
"If it can't be done now, it can be done in the future."
He knew in his heart that as long as China Film and Wanda are involved, plus Hollywood film companies, even a billion-dollar project can be completed.
So there is no question of whether it can be done, but it can definitely be done, but the time is not certain.
If you can’t get on the bus now, you won’t even have the chance to get on the bus in the future.
When Wang Shu heard what Ren Zhonglun said, he thought for a while and said: "Mr. Ren, let's do this. Take some time to call Director Han and Mr. Ye after this matter, and then everyone can talk about it together."
Ren Zhonglun knew in his heart that China Film and Wang Shu had always been cooperating. In this kind of matter, it would be necessary to leave the other party alone and let China Film alone. He immediately responded cheerfully: "As long as Director Wang says this, we can talk whenever we have time."
"Haha, Mr. Ren is too polite." Wang Shu said with a smile.
Ren Zhonglun called him just for this reason, but he didn't have the discernment to continue disturbing Wang Shu. He then exchanged a few words with Wang Shu and hung up the phone.
After finishing the phone call with Ren Zhonglun, Wang Shu decisively turned off his phone.
He was so excited that he came to the old roadside stall to have a barbecue, but he didn't expect to be disturbed so quickly.
Yang Wei listened silently, but he didn't ask, because he knew his position and knew that whether Wang Shu made a co-production or not, it had nothing to do with him.
If Wang Shu asked him to play a supporting role, he would do it. If he didn’t ask, forget it.
Yang Wei, whose appearance is not up to par, and whose acting skills are also mediocre, knows that he can only play a supporting role.
Wang Shu was no longer in the mood to continue eating barbecue. He looked at Yang Wei and said, "Do you have a schedule? If you have a schedule, come and play a supporting role in "Life of Pi"."
Yang Wei was startled when he heard this, and after a moment of silence he said: "Is this a Hollywood movie? There should be many people who want to participate in it. Why don't you give the opportunity to others."
"My acting is of no use, but a waste of resources."
The implication is that he wants Wang Shu to use this character's resources to give favors instead of wasting them on him.
Wang Shu said with a smile: "It's just a small supporting role, not an important role. If you are asked to come over and make a guest appearance, why is there so much nonsense?"
"Haha." Listen. When Wang Shu said this, Yang Wei no longer hesitated, and immediately responded with a smile: "Okay, call me when the time comes, and I will be there when you call."
Wang Shu shook his head, and then chatted with Yang Wei for a while , then check out and leave.
When he returned to the villa, it was still early. Wang Shu did not turn on his mobile phone, but took a shower and planned to have a good sleep early.
He is sleeping now, but there are constant topics about him in the circle. "I have inquired clearly. It is said that Wang Shu, Han Sanping and people from the Film and Television Bureau had dinner together at noon today. At the suggestion of Han Sanping and others, he expressed his intention to make a co-production of a blockbuster." Mu Xiaoguang looked at Fan Binbin and whispered.
As Wang Jinhua left Chengtian, Fan Binbin also let go of Chengtian.
Mu Xiaoguang originally had a good deal with Cheng Tian, and Fan Binbin set up a studio with Cheng Tian after leaving Huayi.
It's just that what I said was really good at the time, but later I kept putting it off, and then let go of Cheng Tian's dove.
Now Fan Binbin has offended both Huayi and Chengtian.
However, Fan Binbin did not panic.
Because under Mu Xiaoguang’s operation, in February 2008, a company called Bona Yinglong announced that it would invest in Fan Binbin’s studio. The company’s investment members include Chen Long, Emperor, and Poly Bo Accept.
After that, rumors began to spread about Fan Binbin’s affair with Yu Dong, the boss of Polybona. The two appeared in many public occasions hand in hand, sometimes showing unusual intimacy.
Some media said that the two were "dating because of capital." It is unknown whether there was a male-female date.
After that, Fan Binbin starred in two movies with Nicholas Tse, the first brother of the Emperor, "October Siege" and "Shaolin Temple". Both movies were large-scale productions. The former had Yan Yanzhuang and Liang Jiahui joining the cast. The latter is led by Chen Long and Liu Dehua.
To put it bluntly, these two movies use some big names to praise Nicholas Tse and Fan Binbin.
Tse Tingfeng is the first brother of the Emperor, so it is normal to have such resources.
But there are obviously a lot of female artists under the Emperor's banner, but Fan Binbin is praised.
Only the person involved knows exactly what this person paid.
Of course, there is a reason why Fan Binbin is so close to Yu Dong.
Firstly, Fan Binbin left Huayi and at the same time let go of Orange Sky. In terms of entertainment resources, he was often excluded and suppressed by these two major entertainment forces.
Now that she has new partners Chen Long, Ying Huang, and Yu Dong, they will naturally be revealed, so that no one in the circle will dare to bully her anymore.
Secondly, Fan Binbin wants to enter the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Zhao Yanzi was already very popular in Hong Kong's entertainment industry, and Fan Binbin was fascinated by it.
In addition, in this era, Hong Kong Island’s entertainment industry controls a lot of film resources. Mainland artists all believe that if they are not recognized by Hong Kong Island’s entertainment industry, they will not be able to become superstars.
Of course, this superstar is a superstar in the scope of Chinese films, not an international superstar.
Actually, even though Fan Binbin was suppressed by Huayi and Chengtian, he no longer had any film resources in the mainland, so he took advantage of the situation and went to Hong Kong. It was really his behavior to join the National Army in 1949.
In fact, in this era, the Hong Kong industry controls a lot of film resources, and domestic entertainment has not developed. It is true that the Hong Kong industry is more powerful.
Who would have expected that in just two or three years, domestic entertainment would develop and leave Hong Kong behind.
In this era, few people have such foresight. They rushed to join the national army in 1949. This is only human nature.
However, although Fan Binbin was suppressed by Hua Yi and Cheng Tian, she hugged him again after all.
So in 2008, Fan Binbin produced and starred in "Rouge Snow". The overseas rights of this TV series were sold for US$20,000 per episode.
In other words, the overseas copyright of this drama alone has earned nearly 10 million yuan.
Domestically, it was also sold out.
It was first broadcast on four satellite TV stations, with an average price of 500,000 per episode.
Mu Xiaoguang said that the show will have at least 30% profit, which means that this 28 million investment show can earn at least nearly 10 million, far exceeding Fan Binbin's expectations.
Of course, the income of nearly 10 million is far less than the income of Wang Shu's movies.
However, in this era of internal entertainment, it is already a very good achievement.
And because Fan Binbin also made a lot of money this year in addition to this drama, she also had some Hong Kong movies, etc. Therefore, in this year's Forbes China Celebrity List of Actresses, Fan Binbin overtook Zhao Yanzi and followed closely behind. The first place is Zhang Ziyi.
Subsequently, the new "Four Top Huadans" were announced. Fan Binbin and Li Binbin replaced Xu Jinlei and Zhang Ziyi, and together with Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun, they were called the "Four Top Huadans".
You must know that in the era of Huayi Brothers, the entertainment industry had a "four dans and two ices" configuration.
First there were the "Four Dangers". When the Huayi brothers saw that their own "Double Ice" was not selected, they forced themselves to ride on the popularity and then got on the last train of the "Four Dangers and Double Ice". This was Wang Jinhua's handiwork.
At that time, there were only four seats on the last bus, and the double-ice ticket was a standing ticket, which was slightly lower than the fourth-ice ticket.
Now Huayi is focusing on supporting Li Binbin, and Mu Xiaoguang is working hard to build Fan Binbin, and the two finally grabbed two seats.
However, these two people were able to grab seats only because Xu Jinlei and Zhang Ziyi gave them up.
The former is almost a career change from an actor to a director, from being in front of the stage to being behind the scenes.
For the latter, even Zhou Xun could only act as a supporting role for him, and the position was vacated when he went to work in Hollywood.
They are not on the same level as the four major celebrities who are currently on the ice.
