Chapter 119 Cai Yinong from Tang Dynasty
December 8, 2003.
Xu Kun, a man of two generations, took a plane from Kyoto to the Magic City for the first time.
Wang Peng came to pick up the machine in person. Judging from Comrade Lao Wang's energy, he must be developing well in Hengdian.
After landing, he took Xu Kun and Liu Haibo to eat, drink, wash their feet, and experience the local characteristics of the magical city.
Then Xu Kun took the initiative to contact Tangren Film and Television as the producer of "Heroes of Sword".
This was somewhat of a surprise attack, but who asked the Tang people to strike first?
Before coming, Xu Kun and Liu Haibo also collected some information about Tangren Film and Television, and were surprised to find that this film and television company was headed by a strong woman.
Cai Yinong, the boss of Tang Dynasty, is from Fujian. He moved to Hong Kong Island in his early years and worked as a reporter for two years. He founded a film and television company in Hong Kong Island at the age of 25 and later moved to the mainland. He started by attracting Hong Kong investment to co-produce films. In recent years, he has Magic City can be considered a small success.
In the past, the films filmed by Tang Dynasty mainly used Hong Kong actors.
But recently Tang Ren's first sister Guan Yonghe has just retired and married Zha Zhahui. This has had a certain impact on Tang Ren, so Tang Ren is currently preparing to promote young mainland actors.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the product of this strategic transformation.
Tang Ren obviously did not expect that the producer of "Heroes of Sword" would really be 'invited' to come, and was caught off guard for a moment.
Xu Kun made the call in the morning, but it was not until the evening that Tangren responded, saying that Cai Yinong was willing to meet - but by this time Xu Kun had already gone to Hengdian with Liu Haibo, so the meeting could only be postponed until three days later.
Apart from anything else, Director Chen is really good at infrastructure construction. This Qin Palace complex, built in 1997 at a cost of more than one billion yuan, is much more luxurious than the Bayi Film and Television Base.
The irony is that director Chen's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" failed, while Lao Mouzi's "Hero" became a hit.
In fact, there are not many scenes in "Heroes of Sword" involving the Qin Palace, only the beginning. However, in order to gain a head start, this part of the investment cannot be saved.
Liu Haibo circled the majestic Qin Palace up and down several times, gesturing that it could be opened here and cut into two parts there. If Xu Kun hadn't stopped him, he could have put in half of the money.
When Xu Kun returned to the Magic City from Hengdian, he was not in a hurry to see Cai Yinong. Instead, he arranged a meeting with Liu Haibo and two groups of military officers.
In terms of reputation and professionalism, it is definitely the person introduced by Liu Haibo who is better, but Wang Peng has the producer Xu Kun as his backer, which is not in vain.
In the end, the two parties compromised with each other and decided to jointly guide and design some character-specific actions separately, so that the kung fu of different characters can be clearly distinguished.
As for Xu Kun, the "schizophrenic" male protagonist, he was happily cared for by both parties. Wang Peng's person was responsible for the martial arts routines of King Abelo, while Xiao Ting was responsible for the other party.
It wasn't until after the contract was signed that Xu Kun and Liu Haibo were free to make an appointment with Cai Yinong from Tang Dynasty.
…………
The back seat of a business car.
Cai Yinong lay on her side in the back seat with her hair disheveled, enjoying the assistant's squeezing and beating of her legs while flipping through Xu Kun's information with great interest.
In the past few days, she had been trying to win over Liu Yifei, so until she made an appointment with Xu Kun, she read the relevant investigation reports at the last minute.
I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after reading it, I thought this person was interesting. He was from a grassroots background and was a fellow villager of Ge You. After building some connections by delivering food to people during YQ, he actually managed to build a 20 million-dollar crew overnight.
Cai Yinong put the information into the document bag, rubbed his temples and asked, "The appointment is to meet tomorrow afternoon, right?"
"right."
The assistant said hurriedly: "The location is set to be in the reception room of our company."
"oh."
Cai Yinong responded vaguely, and after a while he suddenly ordered: "Let the Beijing office send someone to his hometown to inquire and find out whether he is a real lucky person or a wolf cub pretending to be a husky."
The assistant hurriedly called the office in Beijing.
Although Cai Yinong's roots are in Hong Kong Island and her company is in Shanghai, how could someone who aspires to become bigger and stronger in the mainland film and television industry not pay attention to the capital city? Now Tangren only has a small office, but in 2017, it simply moved its headquarters to the capital.
After hanging up the phone, the assistant looked at the destination and hurriedly took out the dressing box. She simply put Cai Yinong's hair into a bun and tied it tightly with hairpins.
When the business car slowly stopped outside the door of the Paike Restaurant near Lu Xun Park, the assistant got out of the car and walked around to the opposite side, opened the door, and placed a pair of Hentian high on the ground.
Cai Yinong stepped on it reluctantly, and was helped up by his assistant Lafayette.
It wasn't until she opened the restaurant door and walked inside that the laziness and fatigue on her body suddenly disappeared. She held her head high and stepped on her stilettos with a clicking sound. Her aura was at least two and eight meters away.
But when she entered the box and met Liu Yifei and her daughter, her face shone brightly again, and she called Sister Liu one after another.
After the greetings took place, Cai Yinong deliberately tried to test: "It's a coincidence that I have been busy entertaining my sister and Sissi these two days. I never thought that there would be guests from the capital coming all the way. I heard that they are Sissi's hometown."
"Sissi's fellow countryman?"
Liu Xiaoli was obviously stunned for a moment and said suspiciously: "Did that person say it himself? Mr. Cai, you didn't meet a liar, right?"
"Sister Liu, you really know how to joke."
Cai Yinong covered his mouth and said, "That man is a fellow countryman of Teacher Ge Youge. Aren't we, Qianqian, also a fellow countryman of Teacher Ge?"
"Oh~ you're talking about Cai Hekun, right?"
Liu Xiaoli suddenly realized that she was still a little embarrassed.
When Liu Yifei first entered school, in order to create a persona that she wanted to be a performing artist, she deliberately picked up this hometown relationship. Unexpectedly, Lan Tianye didn't even see her, and Ge Youye pushed it out with a hum. .
Later, Liu Yifei first took over the role of Jinfenshi Family, and then starred in "Dragon Movie". Seeing that she had climbed up the ranks step by step, she didn't mention it again.
But later I heard that there was a certain Hekun who got involved with the Ge family and Mr. Lan by delivering food to people, which made Liu Xiaoli feel a little unbalanced.
At this moment, Liu Yifei, who had been standing by as a vase, suddenly corrected him: "His surname is not Cai, but Xu, Xu Kun."
"Um?"
Liu Xiaoli wondered: "How do you know? I don't even remember it clearly."
Liu Yifei shrugged: "I was reading the news online. He was the first person to be suspected of the 'nursery rhyme incident' a while ago, but later it was found that he was unjustly accused..."
"Oops~"
Before she could finish speaking, Liu Xiaoli started yelling: "I told you not to look at those messy things, why don't you kid just listen?"
Liu Yifei pouted slightly when she heard this, lowered her head and was silent again.
Cai Yinong smiled slightly and refilled Liu Xiaoli's tea while saying: "Sister Liu, we can't let Sissi look at those messy things, but it's not okay if no one helps to keep an eye on those messy news. Otherwise, if we are involved, we will If you still don’t know, don’t you think you are passive?”
With that said, she put down the teapot and introduced herself: "I'm not bragging. Tangren Film and Television is definitely the best in mainland China in terms of protecting its actors."
Liu Xiaoli didn't expect that Cai Yinong would get the chance after she casually taught her daughter a lesson.
But she still shook her head resolutely and said: "It's enough for me to keep an eye on you. It's better not to trouble you Tang people."
This was not the first time that Cai Yinong had run into trouble. He immediately dismissed the problem with a slight smile and only greeted Liu Yifei and her daughter to dinner.
When the party broke up in the evening, the assistant was cleaning up the mess and couldn't help complaining: "This Liu Xiaoli is really ungrateful. She didn't even pay attention to the 'nursery rhyme incident', and she had the nerve to say that she was enough."
Cai Yinong leisurely crossed his legs and said with a smile: "With my back against the big tree, I don't feel panic. Naturally, I want to wait for the price. Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
After a pause, he added: "Tomorrow morning, remember to urge the Beijing office to report Xu Kun's investigation results."
