Chapter 410 Returning to Li with a Plan
Many people in the audience guessed that important people must be present at today’s must-attend meeting.
But no one expected it would be Director Ling.
The old man shook hands with several big directors one by one.
Xiaogangpao and Lao Mouzi had obviously met this leader.
This was Li Chen's first time.
When shaking hands with Li Chen, the old man smiled cordially and asked: "When will "Panda Vientiane Island" be filmed?"
With just one sentence, many people present were moved. It's a bright light.
Whether it is a theater chain or several leading production companies.
I have recently read the novel "Panda Wanxiang Island".
I just feel that the novel itself is nothing special.
But the underlying meaning is extremely universal.
The guardian panda of Vientiane Island is in perfect harmony with the national concept.
A simple summary is to love peace, protect ecological balance, and do not offend others unless they offend us.
Everyone present, even some people suspected that this "Panda Vientiane Island" is a monster version of "Avatar"!
Domestically, once there is policy support, the market is only one step away from exploding.
The era of sky-high film remuneration is coming, and the capital war is coming.
Wang Bureau and Tong Bureau sent the old man off, and the meeting got down to business.
The old man came as a gesture, shaking hands and doing pre-war mobilization.
The specific matters will be taken the lead by the General Administration.
Rongchen Pictures and Huayi are the two companies mentioned most frequently by Bureau Tong.
Especially Rongchen Pictures.
After Huayi went public, it made a lot of big moves.
Wang Zhongjun's speech was high-spirited: "Huayi will release eight major dramas this year, except for Director Feng's "If You Are the One 2", which is still in the process of scripting."
"The other seven dramas have all been completed. Produced.”
There was a lot of eloquence, and it sounded like a work report.
"Love in the City" starring Xie Tingfeng early next month is invested by Huayi.
Not only that, Huayi recently spent a lot of money to sign a former HOT member. Li Chen couldn't remember his name for a while.
I just remember that man and Dong Jie acted in a TV series.
While Zhang Ziyi was trapped in the Pomo Gate and Xiaosan Gate.
She snatched the role of "The Secret Fan of Snow Flower" from her for Li Zhengtong.
It seems that we are taking an international route, and our goals are no longer limited to the domestic market.
Li Chen felt sleepy after hearing this, and wanted to leave after the meeting.
As a result, he was stopped by the theater representative Ye Ning, Lao Mouzi and Xiao Wang.
Han Sanping sighed in his heart, this kid was more popular than him.
He told his secretary to ask Li Chen to come find him later, and he returned to China Film Studio first.
Seeing that Zhang Yimou obviously wanted to talk to Li Chen alone, Ye Ning and Wang Zhonglei chatted in an interesting manner.
"Director Zhang, you don't want to settle accounts with me after the fall, do you? In "Three Guns", I just discussed the matter as it happened, and I definitely didn't mean anything against you."
Li Chen chuckled and blocked it first. Lao Mouzi's mouth.
"Oh, I know, I don't blame you." Lao Mouzi said with a bitter smile.
"Then what do you want?"
"There are too many people here. If you are free in the evening, let's sit down and chat."
What Zhang Yimou said made Li Chen energetic. Could it be that the old man Mouzi enlightened?
"Okay, let me ask the driver to take you to Chang'an Club first, and I will be there soon. No one will disturb you there."
Lao Mouzi thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement. .
Wang Zhonglei and Ye Ning walked up and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, what are you talking about, Director Li."
"How come even Mr. Wang is gossiping."
Wang Zhonglei laughed and said: "Who is not interested in the gossip between you two?" "Mr. Wang is right, Director Li, you have disgraced our eight major theater chains with a billion-dollar bet." Ye Ning joked.
In fact, the losses of the eight major theater chains are negligible.
Because the improvements in these two points are only for Rongchen Pictures and fall on each theater chain, the annual loss will be about one million.
Smaller theater chains even spend hundreds of thousands.
It’s just that the eight major theater chains are collectively convinced of Li Chen this time.
The scene of a billion dollar bet is nothing more than that in Wang Jing's "God of Gamblers".
"Then you can lower the filming rate of "Avatar"." Li Chen was unreasonable.
Ye Ning laughed loudly. Only a fool would lower the filming rate of "Avatar".
Wang Zhonglei didn’t leave because he wanted to meet Li Chen.
Although it was agreed last time, "Charlotte" will not be on the same schedule as "Earthquake".
But he heard that the post-production of "Inception", "Space Passengers" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" have been completed one after another.
If Li Chen puts these three dramas on the summer schedule, both sides will suffer.
"Mr. Wang, you are a bit pushy."
"How about you help me choose, which time should I put these three dramas?"
Li Chen looked at it expressionlessly. With Wang Zhonglei.
You guys have occupied the summer slot, and Jiang Wen has occupied the New Year slot.
If Li Chen remembers correctly, "If You Are the One 2", which he is still writing the script for, is also scheduled for the Lunar New Year.
You Hua Yi are only allowed to act hooligans, and I, Li Chen, are not allowed to make a false shot.
Wang Zhonglei seems to have already thought about how to answer this question.
"Director Li, there are many good schedules on May Day and National Day."
"Of course, even if you really want to enter the summer and New Year slots, I can't stop you."
“But at least it won’t be released on the same day as "The Storm 2" and "The Tomb", right?
"After all, Yifei is also a shareholder of Huayi!"
Damn it, let alone Tang Yan and Yang Mi, only his own wife. Wang Zhonglei really knew his weakness.
"I know what Mr. Wang means, and I will handle it as appropriate."
"Then I'm relieved, Director Li, Mr. Ye, you guys can talk."
See Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun looked proud.
Li Chen and Ye Ning joked: "President Wang didn't have the confidence to discuss schedules with me before."
"That is, Huayi is now very wealthy and powerful, and several of your artists are all Huayi Yi’s shareholder is Lian Yifei, so Huayi is naturally confident.”
After chatting with Ye Ning, Li Chen called Han Sanping and went to China Film Group to see him later.
Arrived at Changan Club.
Without the outsiders, Zhang Yimou no longer hides.
Just open the skylight and speak frankly.
This time "Three Guns" can be said to be the Waterloo of his life.
It was a bigger blow to Chen Kaige than "The Promise" back then.
At least "The Promise" is indeed a big production with a big cast.
"Three Guns" is really hard to come by.
How many people would walk into the cinema for that vaudeville team if it weren't for Zhang Yimou?
“I keep thinking about what you said to me back then. I wonder if you still remember it?”
“Remember, I said that if you are not happy in the new scene, You are welcome here at any time, and the conditions are easy to negotiate.”
Zhang Yimou breathed a sigh of relief.
I had a big quarrel with Zhang Weiping that day, but Zhang Weiping still delayed paying his director's fee.
It also allowed him to completely see clearly the partner of the open-mouthed brother and the silent brother.
You can talk about anything, just don’t talk about money with him.
