Chapter 185
“Who are you looking for?”
The security guard at the door suddenly became alert when he saw Su Yi wearing sunglasses and a hat.
Those who can come here are either rich or noble.
In this era, most of this place is used to entertain foreign guests.
It is different in nature from the Changan Private Club next door. That one requires more threshold, and most of them are business people.
However, the Capital International Club is composed of political celebrities, journalists, and special groups.
I rented a room here, and the cost can be imagined.
And there are seven at once!
To shoot a movie.
For some reason, he thought of the Yuzhou Song Troupe and the Disabled People's Song and Dance Troupe.
Films do cost money, not just film, but also equipment, venues, etc.
In the past, actors practiced hard just to pass the scene in one pass without wasting film.
Although a large number of digital devices have been introduced since 2002.
Film films are slowly becoming a thing of the past.
With the arrival of digital movies, the requirements are no longer so demanding.
But the essence of an actor cannot be changed!
Those dancers practice for so long every day.
My body is full of scars, and I just want to show everyone my perfect work.
And what about some actors? Luxurious cars and mansions, and all kinds of perks!
50 million for a movie!
"I'm looking for Zhou Runfa."
Su Yi sat on the sofa in the hall.
Although it has only been half a year since Su Yi graduated, his temperament has already undergone earth-shaking changes.
Every day we face leaders, propaganda departments, general bureaus, education departments, law enforcement departments, etc.
And now he also has multiple honors, including acting director of CCTV Children's Channel, review director of the National Film Bureau, August 1st Honorary Director, and also has a military rank.
People within the system, no matter how rich they are, will show no mercy to you.
At that time, Su Yi was not afraid of facing Sanlu, and there was even resistance from the business department.
And the unclear attitude of propaganda leaders.
Such strong winds and waves are coming.
Not to mention such a small scene!
"Do you have an appointment? Sir, Mr. Zhou is discussing the plot with the crew now. And he may be taking a shower at this time."
A man who looked like a lobby manager came over and motioned to a few The security guard leaves.
Su Yi looked at him with some surprise. Logically speaking, a club of this level should keep the privacy of its guests confidential.
"Director Su Yi, I like all your works, including the smoked lung slices that made me quit cigarettes. I am still a fan of your blog."
I know you even if I turn into ashes.
The lobby manager added in his mind.
"Thank you. Please inform me..."
Su Yi nodded, if he had known that he would not be able to star in Kuangbiao if he had become a charity director of this level.
With exposure, avid fans will recognize you instantly.
Although my performance is not very good, I can't stand it. This is a very good TV series.
"Wait a moment, I am not violating the rules. It is an honor for Mr. Zhou to have a director like you come to see him."
The anger in Su Yi's heart has lessened.
The service staff of this Capital International Club have very high emotional intelligence.
·····
"I think the script needs to be revised."
Zhou Runfa pointed at the script.
This is a luxurious room and there is even a wine room and a cigar room next to it.
Zhang Yimou frowned and said nothing.
The investor Zhang Weiping next to him had his eyebrows twitching, as if he was holding back his anger.
Zhou Runfa became famous very early. In the 1980s and 1990s, he had such a saying.
In Honghong, he can’t be compared to Zhong Chuhong, and in Fafa, he can’t be compared to Zhou Runfa!
This is no exaggeration.
And Zhou Runfa’s wife is also his manager, Kelly Chen.
Although this wealthy businessman's daughter looks ordinary, she looks graceful and luxurious.
Zhang Yimou didn't say anything, but Zhang Weiping couldn't help it.
This ‘die-hard fan’ of Zhang Yimou must invest in any movie, as long as it is directed by Zhang Yimou.
Now I can’t sit still.
Even if you have to meet these conditions, you still want to change the script?
“You are an actor, just leave the script to our director and screenwriter.”
Zhang Weiping still suppressed his anger. Although he was still a little polite, his tone was also very harsh.
Zhou Runfa's face looked a little ugly.
The two of them had a quarrel before.
Zhang Weiping respectfully called the other person teacher as soon as he came up.
Zhou Runfa: Prepare a room with a bathroom, a conference room, and a separate bedroom for me, as well as an RV so that my wife can rest when she comes to visit the class and I can use it when I go to the toilet.
Zhang Weiping almost lost his temper.
"The place where we filmed has a bathroom and it is very clean. It is also convenient for Sister-in-law to visit us."
Zhou Runfa shook his head.
"Whether I am in Hollywood or here, I am still using a contract. Isn't it good to fulfill the spirit of the contract?"
Zhou Runfa's words blocked Zhang Weiping.
The relationship was broken that day.
Zhang Weiping is a businessman himself and attaches great importance to interests.
Although the previous movies I filmed with Zhang Yimou had a good reputation, they did not make money quickly and they spent money very quickly.
Zheng Anxi is anxious, and he is not a good person himself. Now that he sees this situation, he is furious.
Zhou Runfa frowned and even stood up.
"If you think what I said is wrong, I can stop filming and refund the money to you!"
Zhang Weiping did not expect the other party to be so straightforward, and was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping had not yet parted ways.
It can be said that Zhang Weiping, through hard work and hard work, got the first commercial film shot by Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yimou is a little helpless, but he also knows the elements of commercial movies.
I found Jay Chou, Zhou Runfa, Gong Li, and Liu Ye.
It can be said that famous actors from the island, Hong Kong and the mainland gathered together.
Seeing Zhou Runfa's attitude, Zhang Yimou was shocked.
He also felt that the other party was going too far, but it was agreed in advance and was not unreasonable.
These kinds of daily life are not excessive when it comes to Hollywood celebrities.
And what Zhang Weiping said is right, the angle of stance is different.
"Weiping! What are you doing! Apologize!"
Let's put it this way, if he were an ordinary person, Zhang Weiping would slap the table.
But Zhou Runfa is indeed very famous.
He was reluctant in every possible way and lowered his head.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Zhou Runfa saw the other party's apology and sat down.
Chen Huilian has also been silent. She is in charge of money, but she also wants to give face to her husband outside.
“Who is it?”
Zhang Weiping was feeling a little unhappy.
The other actors were silent, knowing that they were untouchable.
Even Gong Li was the same, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Jay Chou coughed. This music king is still a newcomer in the film industry.
After becoming famous with Initial D and the support of many fans, Jay Chou was also invited to the crew of "Man City".
I didn’t expect that today was just a discussion and we would encounter such an embarrassing scene.
"Sorry to bother you. Someone wants to visit Mr. Zhou. I don't know Mr. Zhou's phone number in mainland China, so I came to ask - I have called the guest room phone before, but the do not disturb mode was turned on."
The lobby manager is very respectful.
Actually, it’s not because the people in front of me are celebrities.
Working here, celebrities in the political field give people a stronger sense of oppression.
It’s just basic exercises.
"Mr. Zhou has not made an agreement with anyone, please come back."
Chen Huilian shook her head. Although she was not from the Dragon Kingdom, she spoke Mandarin very well.
It is also because there are mostly Chinese in Singapore.
“Okay, then I’ll let Director Su leave first——”
The lobby manager was not surprised at all.
"Brother Fa, it seems that wherever you go, some gossip spreads, and many directors want to cooperate with you-"
Chen Huilian said with a smile.
This kind of thing is quite common.
Chow Yun-fat is restricted in every aspect in Hollywood, but in mainland China, he is still very popular.
It doesn’t matter if the price is a little higher.
deserved treatment.
"Director Su? What's your name?"
Zhang Yimou asked subconsciously as he was very attentive.
Recently, the words "Director Su" have been all over the screen.
Zhou Runfa and his wife, who came back from abroad, didn’t know it, but they knew it.
"Director Su Yi, I won't admit my mistake."
The lobby manager looked around expectantly.
He didn’t know what he was expecting.
However, I got the answer I wanted.
"Director Su Yi? Come here to find Brother Fa?"
Su Yi!
Chen Huilian felt that the name was familiar, and if it was someone else, she would definitely not want to pay attention to it.
But when he saw the people around him, surprise appeared on their faces, and he immediately turned on his mobile phone and started searching.
Su Yi, the 2005 Capital TV Spring Festival Gala Chief Director!
Personal works: public service advertisement, smoked lung slices.
TV series: "Rush", "Soldiers Assault".
Movies: "Dear" (public welfare film), "Parasite".
Variety shows: "Waiting for Me", "Dragon Kingdom in the Classics", "Biographies of Heroes".
Documentaries: "The Devastated Dairy Industry", "Anti-Trafficking Documentary".
This director is really cross-disciplinary.
There are enough things to photograph.
“It seems that I met a liar.”
Liu Ye’s mouth moved.
Liu Ye has become extremely popular in recent years.
First I participated in "The Promise". Then he was selected by Zhang Yi to participate in "Man City".
Although in Su Yi's opinion, they are not good movies.
But it also represents Liu Ye’s popularity.
"It must be a liar. I heard that Director Su Yi is busy with the children's channel."
Zhang Yimou also smiled.
This is not a random guess on their part.
After Su Yi became famous, he was recruiting actors in every episode of variety shows such as Collection and Heroes.
It is rumored that the unknown Wan Qian was selected to be the second female lead in "Dear" just because she appeared on the collection show. Strictly speaking, she is the first female lead.
Now she has become instantly famous and even appeared on Dongfang TV's Spring Festival Gala - it's not that she has turned her back on Su Yi.
But Su Yi's program was full and she was not invited. She even called to 'ask for permission', which made Su Yi dumbfounded at the time.
However, as soon as the news spread, many new actors became excited.
There are many people who are cheating in the name of Su Yi.
There are indeed many people who have been defrauded of money and sex.
It caused quite a stir some time ago.
80% of people who study art don’t want to engage in art, they just want to be famous.
The probability may be even higher.
"Let him go, we still have to discuss the plot."
Zhou Runfa didn't care, after all, he had been filming in Hollywood.
Whether he is a liar or not is not important in his eyes.
“Wait a minute, what if Director Su Yi is real?”
Jay Chou was very interested and spoke half-baked Mandarin.
Because Su Yi is very bad now.
He has always wanted to meet her. After all, he has also been to the Spring Festival Gala.
Fortunately it’s not this year.
“Okay, let him come up – I’ll go down and have a look.”
Zhang Yimou felt that today's scene was embarrassing. Even if it wasn't really Su Yi, it was just an excuse to go out and smoke a cigarette.
If it is true, there is nothing wrong with welcoming it yourself.
After all, he still remembers what happened with the Film Directors Guild.
Director Xie is the president and is very old, so there is no need to flatter him at all.
But he admires Su Yi very much.
Moreover, this Spring Festival Gala also shines brightly. If you have time, you should have a good chat with this young man.
Learning is endless.
Although he was born in Beijing Film Academy, he was classmates with Chen Kaige, Li Shaohong, Gu Changwei and others.
But it is the photography department, not the directing department.
Later on, I started working as a photographer, actor, and director step by step.
And once he graduated, he was not as brilliant as Chen Kaige.
So we have more respect for young people.
“I’ll go take a look with you too.”
Zhang Weiping seemed fine, but in fact he wanted to get in.
It is really shameless to apologize in front of so many people.
But he apologized with money!
Nothing to be ashamed of.
But it is still necessary to go out and calm down.
“I’ll go too.”
It’s Jay Chou and Gong Li who are talking!
The two said in unison, and after looking at each other, they were both a little surprised.
Gong Li has achieved a lot now and has won major awards at home and abroad.
There are only two international actresses, Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.
Jay Chou is even more so, his music is going crazy in Chinese.
Two people who have achieved such success are now going to greet each other without knowing their identity?
I saw that everyone had opened the door.
Liu Ye scratched his head.
"If they all go, then I will go too."
Zhou Runfa and his wife were left in the room.
“This is Su Yi. I searched. The director was born in 1982 and graduated in 2005. So many people greeted him?”
Kelly Chen was a little surprised.
·······
“So many people?”
Led by the lobby manager, a group of people came over in a mighty manner.
Su Yi took off his sunglasses and hat.
"Director Su Yi, are you really you? We thought you were a liar!"
Zhang Yimou came over and extended his hand.
Actually, they are much older than Su Yi, but they obviously regard Su Yi as their equal.
This circle also emphasizes strength.
Don't say he just graduated. Even if he is a primary school student, no one can look down upon him with such great achievements.
Besides - Su Yi still holds the position of deputy director of review at the National Film Administration!
This is a real power unit.
"I'm interrupting your discussion about the movie, or I'll wait a little longer until you finish talking-"
"Director Su! Hello, my name is Gong Li. I've known you for a long time."
Gong Li took a step forward and introduced herself.
"If I don't even know you, then I've really failed as a director."
Su Yi smiled and wanted to hold Gong Li's hand.
Unexpectedly, Gong Li came up and gave her a polite hug.
"Thank you, thank you for filming the anti-trafficking trilogy. Compared with you, the charity I have done is insignificant."
Gong Li's eye circles were a little red.
The charm of Su Yi lies in the fact that he has photographed many works, and there is always something that can attract you.
"What I should do."
Su Yi patted the other party's back gently, and then let go of his hand.
Gong Li just expressed her inner excitement.
The actor's inner emotions are also very rich, and he is even better at empathizing with them.
Gong Li makes movies by herself and doesn't watch many ordinary movies.
But I have indeed read a lot of Su Yi’s works.
"I'm here this time to discuss cooperation with Mr. Zhou. The new movie is about to start. Let's talk about the salary."
Su Yi chuckled.
The reason why I came here by myself this time is because I wanted to see with my own eyes whether the other party had so much dirty information.
At present, it seems that this treatment is definitely correct.
"Talk about remuneration? I suggest that Director Su, please be mentally prepared."
Zhang Weiping, who was next to Zhang Yimou, was still a little unhappy.
It is true that these celebrities were found for the sake of box office, but the pomp and circumstance was a bit too big.
"Then you guys talk first, I'll go up and talk to them."
Zhang Yimou was about to go upstairs with Su Yi.
Others were sitting in the lounge in the hall.
There is also gossip in my heart.
Su Yi’s new movie!
Zhang Yimou is under great pressure this time!
·····
“Hello, Mr. Zhou, Miss Chen.”
Su Yi smiled.
Looking at Zhou Runfa in front of him, he is tall and has majestic facial features. Compared with the lady next to him, he seems a bit out of place.
But no matter what, the relationship between the two is still enviable.
"Director Su Yi, please sit down. Have we contacted before?"
Chen Huilian sat on the stool and said with a smile.
"From the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly"."
Su Yi knew that the other party would definitely not remember it.
Even things about Su Yi are searched online.
Zhou Runfa smiled and didn't say much.
However, the name Su Yi vaguely feels very familiar.
“Sorry, we have a large number of cooperation applications every day, so sometimes we forget some names. I don’t know when your movie will be launched, but if it is the nearest time, we can still cooperate.”
Chen Huilian is the agent and the money manager of the family, so she has been talking to Su Yi.
“But as you have also seen, our brother Fa has some personal habits, and the price will not change. The performance fee of 50 million yuan, in terms of access, is enough at the current scale, and there must be a toilet in the RV. ”
Kelly Chen had a smile in her eyes.
When I came this time, I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected surprise.
The two crews started working at the same time, and the performance fee was 100 million.
But Su Yi shook his head.
He looked serious.
"Impossible. My film performance fee cannot exceed tens of millions."
This young man has such a big tone.
Even a little domineering.
Chen Huilian has been the daughter of the richest man in Xinjiapo since she was a child. After marrying Zhou Runfa, she has always been well-off and well-off, and it is rare for her to be spoken to in such a tone.
"I'm sorry, our cooperation can't continue."
Kelly Chen shook her head.
Su Yi stood up, Zhou Runfa frowned, trying hard to think of where he had heard Su Yi's name.
"Mr. Zhou, I think it is a pity that you missed this movie. The movie is wonderful, and it is more in line with Chinese people. Many times, foreigners yearn for our culture, and there is no need to copy foreigners' culture."
Su Yi said lightly.
What a pity, he is also one of my favorite celebrities in childhood.
In 10 years, the title will become the King of Bad Movies, and it will never turn around again.
“Wait!”
Zhou Runfa suddenly stood up.
"Director Gore Verbinski. Told me about you! You directed Underwater Roselle!"
Directed by Gore Verbinski!
Director of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy!
Chow Runfa received an invitation to film the third part.
The first thing he said when he saw Zhou Runfa was.
“It’s hard to believe that such a beautiful picture can be shot with such technology. If possible, please recommend me director Su Yi. This will also have a great impact on our underwater shooting. Help! ”
At this time, Su Yi had already turned and left!
In the absence of any official media statements, it is still not credible to rely solely on the words of self-media. The author only wrote some solid things. I know how some readers feel about Chow Run Fat. I grew up watching his movies when I was a child. In fact, I also like movies such as A Better Tomorrow and Peace Hotel. I didn’t want to write about him at first, but When I wrote "Let the Bullets Fly," I couldn't avoid him, which also explained Su Yi's attitude towards shooting and its subsequent impact on the film industry.
