Chapter 258 About Xu Ke
After hanging up the phone to Feng Xiaogang, everyone in the room looked at Lao Li.
Old Li touched his nose: "I should have got the news from Wang Zhonglei, who also wanted to sell me the share of "Hurricane"..."
The group of people looked at each other, were they playing games? It's too much.
Feng Xiaogang has a good relationship with them. If he is so unfavorable, are the other partners similar?
Do you want to tell Guang Guang, the drama is over now anyway, don't scare your partner out again.
While thinking about this, Zhang Chen's phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID is Zhang Guoli.
This...
First Feng Xiaogang, then Zhang Guoli, what is going on?
Making a gesture to signal everyone to be silent, Zhang Chen answered the phone: "Uncle Guoli~"
"Zhang Chen, the news these days is saying that you and the General Administration are not dealing with each other, what are you going to do? "What happened?"
"It's a little unpleasant, but not to that extent..."
Zhang Chen didn't know the purpose of Zhang Guoli's call, so he just dealt with it casually.
"I have some connections with the General Administration. I know one of their section chiefs. Why don't I introduce you to someone in our line of work? We still need to maintain a good relationship with the General Administration, otherwise it will be very troublesome... ”
Zhang Guoli suddenly offered to help, which surprised Zhang Chen.
If something like this happens, shouldn’t we hide as far away as possible?
“No, Uncle Guoli, it’s okay~”
“Don’t be so harsh, it’s okay to keep your head down. If someone messes up the 120 million project, you won’t have anywhere to cry. Go..."
Zhang Guoli thought that Zhang Chen was a young man with a thin skin and couldn't bear to apologize, so he began to persuade him earnestly.
"No need, Uncle Guoli. If necessary, I will definitely open my mouth to you and Uncle Feng~"
Hearing Zhang Chen say this, the person on the other side was silent for a few seconds, and then the voice sounded again: "Zhang Chen, There is something wrong between Feng Xiaogang and I. If nothing else happens, the Taihe people will probably be disbanded in the next few days. I have no other intention of telling you this. I just want to inform you, but don’t worry, this will not affect us. Future cooperation..."
Zhang Chen was a little stunned by Zhang Guoli's words, "When did you and Uncle Feng break up?"
"Just now."
For some reason, Zhang Chen's mind suddenly flashed back to the way Lao Li answered the phone just now, and he subconsciously realized something.
"Because of me?"
Zhang Guoli didn't say anything, but Zhang Chen already knew the answer.
Think again, Feng Xiaogang hasn’t had a single phone call since the accident.
Not even a comforting one.
He didn't think much about it at first, but when he thought that Feng Xiaogang had just wanted to sell his share, Zhang Guoli offered to help, this must be a disagreement between the two in their attitude towards him.
But thinking about it on the other hand, you can tell who is far and who is near at a glance.
"Uncle Guoli, this..."
Zhang Chen didn't know what to say.
I never expected that the Taihe people would disband anyway.
It turns out that Taihe People disbanded because Feng Xiaogang felt that it was not profitable to run a company with Zhang Guoli, and because of the influence of Wang Jia brothers.
When they left, they also took away the project they were preparing, which was "Assembly".
But in this life, Zhang Chen never thought that it was because of himself.
"Uh, Uncle Guoli, what's going on? Can you tell me in detail?"
"It's nothing, just some differences in concepts. We can't continue to cooperate. You Just stop asking and tell me about your business. Why did you kidnap me here?"
Zhang Guoli is a fastidious person and did not say anything bad about Feng.
So did the original Sora, and Feng took "Assembly" with him to great success.
Later I felt sorry for Zhang Guoli and asked him to travel, but in the end it didn’t happen.
But at least it can be seen that Zhang Guoli is a very generous person.
"By the way, Uncle Guoli, you and Uncle Feng have broken up, what about the share of "Hurricane Rescue"?"
"We each have half."
After thinking about it, he felt that the matter could not be hidden anyway, so Zhang Guoli decided to give Zhang Chen a vaccination first: "Your Uncle Feng may want to redeem his shares in "Hurricane Rescue", but don't blame him, I quit "The Night Banquet" ", he needs money to plug up the vacated part..."
Zhang Guoli told a white lie, but Zhang Chen knew it would not be because of this.
Feng Xiaogang's movies are not short of investment. As long as he spreads the word that he needs funds, people will queue up for miles.
"Haha, I don't mind. In fact, if Uncle Guoli wants to, he can..."
Before Zhang Chen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Guoli: "I'm not that short-sighted. People, investing is definitely risky, and you may not be able to make money if you invest in "The Fragrance of Sophora Flowers in May"..."
Zhang Chen understood what Zhang Guoli meant and laughed, feeling a little touched in his heart.
"Uncle Zhang, let me tell you everything. In fact, there is nothing between me and the General Administration."
"Really?"
"Better than pearls Really."
"Yes, I can still joke. It seems that everything is fine. That's because I was meddling in my own business."
"No, no, no, Uncle Guoli has good intentions and treats me as his nephew. I know it in my heart." "Haha, you kid..."
Zhang Guoli was also very happy to know that he was grateful. .
The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Guoli suddenly asked: "By the way, I saw on your blog a few days ago that you have a TV series that is about to be finalized and you are looking for a buyer?"
< br>Zhang Chen knew he was talking about "Wulin Gaiden" and nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing, a costume sitcom."
"Show it to me later, and I'll help you reference which TV station will be interested. In the circle of TV dramas, your Uncle Guoli still has some energy."
"That's great."
Zhang Chen originally asked Guangguang to help contact him, but it would be better to have another channel.
After the two hung up the phone, Zhang Chen said to the crowd: "Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang broke up. I'm afraid it's because of us. Feng Xiaogang's share sale may also have something to do with this."
Chen Xi pouted. : "It would be better if they all sell it. Let's take it all back. When the movie is released and the box office is a big hit, I want to see their expressions after missing 100 million..."
"Hahaha~~"
A joke made everyone laugh and successfully eased the somewhat depressing atmosphere.
"Uncle Li, I will trouble you to make another trip tonight. He wants to sell his share, so you take it from him~~"
"Of course, I, Old Li, think of the share. The more, the better.”
The next day, Lao Li called and he won Feng Xiaogang’s 2.5 million share at a 20% discount. Now his share is as high as 7.5 million, which is more than the Rays’ share. Its share is still high, and it is truly the third largest investor.
The rumors outside are getting more and more intense. They are outrageous anyway. There are even rumors that Zhang Chen has been banned.
As for Lao Li, he was not worried at all.
Although he doesn’t know the truth, his values are very simple.
He just believed that Zhang Chen and Xingchen Entertainment were not in a hurry. They must have a backup plan, so he was not in a hurry.
Two days later, Wang Changtian and people from China Film Group gathered at Star Entertainment again. This time they came to discuss the promotion of "The Stone".
"Stone" cost 8 million, of which 5 million was the production cost.
Zhang Chen reserved a full 3 million for the promotion of "Stone", with the goal of making "Stone" an instant hit.
Although "Stone" is low-budget, its genre is definitely different in China at this stage. If it is well publicized, it may exceed 100 million yuan.
"Two days later, we made an appointment with the managers of major theater chains to watch the film. "The Stone" will definitely shock them by then, but I still recommend avoiding "Seven Swords" as much as possible."< br>
The person speaking was the head of publicity of China Film Group Corporation. Of course he had seen the finished film in advance.
He strongly agrees with the quality of the film, and the multi-line narrative structure is absolutely eye-catching.
But Xu Ke's reputation is too great. He is one of the three major directors in Hong Kong and has produced countless martial arts classics, including the "Once Upon a Time in the Sky" series, the "Swordsman" series, and "New Dragon Inn" class.
This time Xu Ke returned to his old career and took up martial arts again. The adaptation was Liang Yusheng's famous work "Seven Swordsman Down the Mountain", which put great pressure on everyone.
Everyone unconsciously wanted to avoid him.
Zhang Chen doesn’t think so. He knows that “Seven Swords” is a bad movie.
Mr. Xu has a big heart. "Seven Swords" is modeled after "The Lord of the Rings" and he wants to make a trilogy, so that's why the first part was made like that, with a lot of popular science.
But unfortunately, he only has the heart for a trilogy but does not have the ability to do a trilogy.
The first part of "Seven Swords" was an immediate hit, and the next two parts were also aborted.
Actually, it’s normal for Dong Jianqiang and the others to be nervous. If Zhang Chen didn’t have the memory of later generations, he would definitely be nervous too.
Who is Xu Ke?
A recognized genius in the Hong Kong film industry.
There are so many powerful guys in Hong Kong movies, but he is the only one called a genius, which shows his high status.
And he is known as the master of Hong Kong's new martial arts genre. In the field of martial arts films, Xu Ke's status is similar to Jin Yong in martial arts novels.
He created a new style of martial arts in Hong Kong and promoted its development.
Before him, Hong Kong action movies were basically straightforward.
The camera is there, and the two actors are fighting in the camera.
The emphasis is on coherent movements and neat composition...
This has the most basic requirement, the actor himself must have a foundation in kung fu.
Of course there are action designs, but they don’t have any special features. They stand there like a puppet and take action. What special features can there be?
The martial arts movies of that period basically followed this routine.
Everyone has the same style, so it’s hard to tell who is better or worse.
But Xu Ke is different. He pioneered a new path - through rapid editing of a large number of shots, splicing the actions together to achieve a better viewing effect.
This is actually learned from Hollywood. Hollywood likes to use fast editing to increase the visibility of actions. However, Hollywood is a modern action film, and Xu Ke used it in martial arts films. .
Furthermore, the characters in Xu Ke's films generally move up and down with graceful and graceful movements, and the main characters generally have feelings about family and country, which means they are somewhat heroic and serve the country and the people.
This invisibly breaks away from the grudge routine of traditional martial arts films, sublimating the film and giving people room for imagination.
It makes sense that it would be a hit at the box office.
Xu Ke’s style is very different from traditional martial arts, so his style is called the new style of martial arts.
The biggest feature of the new martial arts is that it no longer requires a professional kung fu actor to play the role. An ordinary person with no foundation can also perfectly interpret a martial arts master.
So in those two years, martial arts masters traveled everywhere, and Liang Jiahui, an actor who specialized in literary dramas, became the world-famous Zhou Huaian in his films.
