Chapter 218: Self-proclaimed king
“Director Zhang, Dao Ming, what are you talking about, so speculative?”
Mr. Xiao Wang hadn’t arrived yet, but the voice came first.
The two turned around and saw Mr. Wang walking over with a wine glass in his hand and a smile on his face. Behind him, half a step slower, were Li Lianhua and Huang Xiaoming.
"Nothing, we are talking about Director Zhang's new film "The Rescue"..."
"Oh, I heard that the investment in "Hurricane Rescue" exceeded 100 million. Is Director Zhang planning to make a blockbuster?"
Zhang Chenxin said that no matter what else, Huayi's intelligence work was really good.
The final draft of "Hurricane Rescue" has not been finalized for a long time, and the investment scale has not been announced to the public. Huayi Brothers already knows about it.
Sure enough, there is no airtight wall. This sentence refers to the entertainment industry.
“There is no other way. I have already said that I will teach Wu Yusen how to make spy movies, why don’t you show some real skills?”
"Haha, Director Zhang is really young at heart, I'm so envious~" Wang Zhonglei laughed.
After a while, he asked tentatively: "Director Zhang, we at Huayi like to make blockbusters the most. I wonder if we will have a chance with Director Zhang's "Hurricane Rescue"..."
Next to Li Lianhua immediately took over the conversation: "Yes, Director Zhang, please consider me anytime. The flowers I have been waiting for to cooperate with Director Zhang are almost gone..."
Zhang Chen understood, He understood that Li Lianhua was reminding him, and it couldn't be in vain.
Hurry up and apologize: "Sorry, sorry, the female character in this drama is really not suitable for your image. Next time, I will definitely find you if I have the opportunity..."
After appeasing Li Lianhua with a blank check, Zhang Chen said again: "Mr. Wang, I would like to ask you to help me make a guest role..."
"Me?" Wang Zhonglei was also a little surprised.
Zhang Chen nodded: "There is a rich character in the play. I think Xiao Wang is very suitable. It matches your temperament very well. I wonder if Xiao Wang is interested in playing it? It’s a true performance.”
What Zhang Chen told Wang Zhonglei was the role of the adoptive father of the protagonist’s daughter, a rich man.
He also thought of it on the spur of the moment. Not to mention, his temperament really matches Wang Zhonglei.
If Wang Zhonglei plays the role, he doesn't have to think about the drama at all, he just needs to play himself.
Wang Zhonglei originally wanted to ask about investment, but unexpectedly Zhang Chen asked him to guest star in a movie, which was a bit of a surprise for a while.
“Am I...suitable?”
“Suitable, of course it is suitable, or let’s just make it a decision. It won’t take Mr. Wang too long, so let’s just play it off.”< br>
Wang Zhonglei naturally nodded in agreement, which was also a way to make friends with Zhang Chen.
Huang Xiaoming watched everyone chatting nearby and couldn't get a word in. Especially when he knew that Zhang Chen's new film "Hurricane Rescue" was a 100-million-yuan production, he was even more itchy.
But he didn’t know Zhang Chen, so he couldn’t speak rashly.
Wang Zhonglei next to him is a good person. He has noticed Huang Xiaoming's expression for a long time. During this period, Leader Huang happened to be the one they Huayi focused on attracting, so he couldn't help but speak for him:
"Director Zhang , I would like to make another humble request. I don’t know if there is a role in your movie that is suitable for our Xiao Ming. I want to get one for him. It doesn’t matter how much the role is. The main thing is that I want to form a good relationship with Director Zhang..."
Wang Zhonglei is very good at talking, and Huang Xiaoming nodded generously beside him: "Yes, Director Zhang, I have wanted to cooperate with you for a long time, but I never had the chance..."
Of course, Zhang Chen was happy to give the favor. He had originally planned to invite Huang Xiaoming, but now Wang Zhonglei proposed it, which was equivalent to a favor in vain.
"Since Mr. Wang said so, there really is a handsome guy in the supporting role. He doesn't have many roles, but he is very important in the early stage. Why don't you Xiao Ming give it a try..."
"Thank you Zhang The director’s appreciation.” Huang Xiaoming didn’t expect to get a supporting role just by mentioning it.
Actually, it doesn’t matter whether he deserves a supporting role or not, the main thing is that he has a relationship with Zhang Chen.
He has studied Zhang Chen. Since his debut, all his movies have been dominated by female protagonists. Female characters are the absolute protagonists in his movies.
But this time "Taken" seems to be different. It has become a conventional movie model in which men are the absolute protagonists.
This means that his future movies may also follow this pattern, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with him.
Huang Xiaoming is very good at sneaking around, so he has very good relationships with many big bosses. This is why he can always be active on the big screen despite his mediocre acting skills.
After getting the role, Huang Xiaoming was very happy, and Wang Zhonglei was also very happy. Only Li Lianhua was a little bit dissatisfied, but since Zhang Chen said so just now, there was nothing she could do.
I was wondering if I should strengthen her impression in Zhang Chen's mind.
Wang Zhonglei was actually quite surprised that Zhang Chen was giving face like this. Zhang Chen had nothing to say in the past.
But no matter what his reason was, while Zhang Chen was in a good mood today, he just wanted to get as much benefit as possible.
"Director Zhang, I don't know about the investment in "Hurricane Rescue". Can we at Huayi also participate?"
This time he simply made it clear.
Zhang Chen pretended to hesitate, and then said: "We haven't decided on the specific share yet. Let's do this. In a few days, I will call the interested investors together and we will discuss it together..."
"That's great, I'll wait for your call."
By saying this, Zhang Chen is sure that they can enter the game. The only difference is the share. You don’t need to guess to know that China Film, Shanghai Film and Television and theaters with Chinese prefixes will definitely account for the majority, and private companies like them can only follow behind and enjoy the soup.
But soup is also good.
"By the way, there is one more thing that I want to trouble Mr. Wang. I heard that Sister Hua and Mr. Wang were not having a happy quarrel, so I wanted to be a lobbyist and help make peace.< br>
The film and television industry is such a big place, and everyone can’t see each other even when they look up. It’s better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Besides, Sister Hua was bewitched by Chengtian before, but now she has broken up with Chengtian and plans to do it on her own. This is completely neutral. There is still a chance for everyone to cooperate~"
When Zhang Chen said this, Wang Zhonglei always had a smile on his face.
He didn't know why Zhang Chen wanted to take care of this matter, but the conflict between Huayi and Wang Jinghua was compared with today's gains. It's nothing at all. Since Zhang Chen wants to take care of it, he is happy to return the favor.
"What did Director Zhang say? My eldest brother and I have always admired Sister Hua. That was the direction of the company's management before. Some minor conflicts, nothing serious. ”
"If Mr. Xiao Wang says this, I'll be relieved. I'll contact Sister Hua later and we can all go out to have a meal together."
Zhang Chen didn't do this just to be a good guy.
Since he has decided to invest in Wang Jinghua, of course he hopes that Wang Jinghua’s side will blossom in all directions. If Wang Jinghua is good, he will be good.
……
A few days later, Fan Binbin Studio
The assistant rushed into the office in a hurry: "Sister, Wang Jinghua has issued a statement~"
Behind the desk, Sister Jiuyi, who was lying on the boss's chair, rolled her eyes angrily: "We are not early Did you know that Sister Hua will definitely leave Huayi and join Chengtian..."
"No, that's not the case..."
"Huh?" Sister Jiuyi sat up straight. Body.
"Sina headlines, read it yourself~" the assistant said eagerly.
Sister Jiuyi opened her laptop, entered the Sina address, and then saw the news pinned to the top.
“According to the latest news obtained by this newspaper: Wang Jinghua, the president of Huayi Brokerage Company, has resigned and is preparing to set up his own brokerage company, called 'Shijiu Culture'.
Its stars such as Chen Daoming, Xia Yu, Hu Jun, Tong Dawei, Ren Quan, Yang Ziqiong, Guan Zhilin, Liu Jialing, Wu Junru, etc. will all follow and leave. Huayi may become an 'empty city plan'..."
"There are insider sources saying that this The investor of Second Wang Jinghua's new company, Shijiu Culture, is Li Zhaohui, the steel king of coal province. It is said that director Zhang Chen's company Xingchen Entertainment also has a stake in it..."
"Wang Jinghua personally admitted that she Its artists will be deeply bound to director Zhang Chen's new film "Hurricane Rescue", in which many artists will play important roles..."
"It is reported that the male and female protagonists of Zhang Chen's new work "Hurricane Rescue" have been confirmed, and they will be played by Liang Jiahui and Xu Qing from 'Shijiu Culture' respectively, and actors such as Chen Daoming and Zhang Jin will also make guest appearances... ”
That’s right, after getting Zhang Chen’s permission, Wang Jinghua even signed the contract with Zhang Jin.
"Zhang Chen got involved in Wang Jinghua's company?
Forget it, forget about it, Xiao Chen, we will also send it~"
Ten minutes later, Tencent's The headlines have changed.
"Fan Binbin left Huayi and formally established the first personal studio in China with the help of Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen personally held 30% of the shares..."
Good guys, Fan Binbin also left Huayi, so what about Huayi? Isn’t friendship empty?
Some people couldn't help but gloat, but others noticed that Wang Jinghua and Fan Binbin both accepted Zhang Chen's investment after leaving Huayi. Or was it Zhang Chen who encouraged them to leave?
All kinds of speculations suddenly appeared on the paper, and various speculations also appeared on the Internet.
Is Zhang Chen going to war with Huayi Brothers?
The Huayi brothers have betrayed each other, and now they are at odds with Zhang Chen. Where will their future go?
Netizens have the richest imaginations. It didn’t take long before several versions of the incident appeared.
Why did Zhang Chen and Wang Zhonglei compete for Fan Binbin and become enemies, Zhang Chen encouraged Wang Jinghua to change jobs in a rage...
"Don't we do something?" Dong Jianqiang asked in the office.
"What to do? You don't have to do anything, we can just eat." Zhang Chenzheng was watching with great interest, as if others were planning their own lives.
Just when people were speculating, Huayi suddenly issued a statement.
"Wang Jinghua's departure is only due to the conflict of ideas between the two parties in company management. The temporary departure will not hinder subsequent cooperation.
And Huayi Brothers has successfully signed a contract with director Zhang Jizhong to completely complement A shortcoming in the entire field of TV dramas.
At the same time, Huayi Brothers has confirmed that it will participate in the investment of "Hurricane Rescue" directed by Zhang Chen..."
Three news in a row, directly. The melon-eating crowd was stunned.
What's going on?
Didn’t I say that Zhang Chen and Huayi had a falling out? Why did Huayi invest in Zhang Chen's new work? Is there such a fallout?
Also, Huayi signed Zhang DaHu, the most popular TV drama director at this stage.
And the relationship between her and Wang Jinghua is not as rumored by the outside world. Wang Jinghua responded that there is no conflict between her and Huayi, it is just that the contract has expired.
Half a month later, "Hurricane Rescue" officially started shooting in Hong Kong.
