"You guy, you don't know how to speak tactfully, you embarrass Xiao Fan like this. Seeing off Fan Xiaopang and his party, Yu Dong smiled bitterly.

"I'm already tactful enough, it's something I can't do, how can you let me be tactful?" He Xin spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Hey, you don't think anything about Xiao Fan, do you?"

"No, I haven't dealt with her a few times. He shook his head.

But if you think about it carefully, maybe there may be an instinctive rejection in the subconscious, maybe Fan Xiaopang is too beautiful, maybe she is very ambitious, or maybe it is all kinds of unbearable negative news about her in the impression of later generations...... Even he couldn't tell.

"Forget it, come on, drink tea. ”

After sitting down, Yu Dong handed over a cigarette. Well, soft China, this is the standard configuration of the big boss.

"You tell me the truth, are you not optimistic about Director He Ping, or are you not optimistic about the play "Wheat Field"?" Yu Dong still couldn't help asking.

Since "The Story of Two Donkeys", he is indeed a little superstitious about He Xin's vision.

Looking at Lao Yu's puzzled face, He Xin couldn't help but smile and said, "How is this possible? You know, what I hate the most is that talking doesn't count, and there is also drama." I promised Uncle Li in front of this, and then I turned around and released his pigeons, such a partner, do you have to pay attention to it in the future?

Besides, what qualifications do I have not to be optimistic about Director He Ping? I also like his "Swordsman in Shuangqi Town" very much; as for "Wheat Field", I haven't even read the script. ”

Yu Dong was a little embarrassed by He Xin's words, and it was he who instigated He Xin to release the pigeons at the beginning.

He sneered and said: "I just think it's a pity, the story of "Wheat Field" is really good, it is about the Warring States Period After the Changping War, the soldiers of the Qin State jumped into a widow's city, and then ......"

"Gotta do it, Brother Dong, don't hang my appetite. ”

He Xin hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt, he really didn't have any impression of this "Wheat Field", but he didn't dare to comment on it, after all, he was not one of those male protagonists written by other entertainment authors, he knew all film and television dramas and pop songs well, and he was flying with ease.

What he doesn't have an impression of doesn't mean that this kind of film won't be successful, including his films "Lan Yu" and "The Story of Two Donkeys", he also has no impression, but they are all very successful.

"Let's get down to business. Lao Gao's side is a little unsure of the film "The Wind", I want you to help find a more reliable producer......"

He briefly talked to Yu Dong about the current difficulties encountered by "The Wind".

Although the specific details of the cooperation have not yet been discussed, with the current good cooperative relationship between Xinhao Media and Bona, there should be no twists and turns. Moreover, although Yu Dong is a bit of a scum in terms of the relationship between men and women, he is still relatively disciplined in business. It will not happen that the Huang brothers reached an agreement verbally, and then turned their faces and did not admit it.

And Yu Dong has a very good relationship with the Hong Kong circle, don't look at He Xin's previous scolding of this and that, but for now, Hong Kong and Taiwan directors are relatively experienced and reliable in the field of commercial films compared with mainland directors.

After listening to this, Yu Dong groaned: "Since Lao Gao himself has no self-confidence, then simply change the director!"

“......”

It's not that He Xin hasn't thought about changing the director, after all, "The Wind" is the first blockbuster for Xinhao Media, although this may be that it is just a medium production in the eyes of the East.

There are many factors that make a blockbuster, such as big directors, big stars, big investment, big scenes, big themes, etc., but the most important of them, or the director, is the key to determining the quality and artistic style of a movie.

But if he changes the director, he will not be able to support him, after all, the original version of "The Wind" impressed him too deeply, and it also proved that Lao Gao is reliable as a director.

And he has a good relationship with Lao Gao, and it seems that there is only such a "The Wind" that Lao Gao's big-screen works can be used in his memory, and he can't bear to watch Lao Gao mix up until he doesn't even have a masterpiece in the end.

"The Wind" is a suspense theme, Lao Gao is still good at this, and he is the screenwriter of the script, so he knows the details of the story better than him. He just doesn't have much confidence in himself, and he's worried that he's sorry for his friends if he messes up. I think it's enough to find a producer to help him check the gates, and it's okay if he still co-directs. He Xin groaned.

"Ah Xin, work is in charge of work, and friends are righteous in their friends, this is not a joke. Yu Dong said solemnly.

"Brother Dong, don't worry, our Xinhao Media is a small business, and the first time I make a blockbuster, I care more than anyone else. But I can guarantee that Lao Gao is still reliable, and this is definitely not a matter of friendship. How can I joke about tens of millions of things?" He Xin said equally seriously.

Yu Dong stared at him for a long time before nodding and said, "Well, that's it, I'll help you introduce Director Chen Kexin or Director Chen Jiashang when you go back, and let's talk about it together." ”

"That's great. He Xin hurriedly said.

Needless to say, Chen Kexin's final box office of "Casting a Name" at the beginning of the year will exceed 200 million. As for Chen Jiashang, who has just directed "Painted Skin" starring Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, and Zhao Yanzi, he is also a powerful commercial film director.

"I don't dare to guarantee the ticket, I have to sit down and talk about how to cooperate, and then you will call Lao Gao together. ”

Saying that, Yu Dong raised his wrist to look at the time, stood up and said, "Okay, I won't keep you at noon, and I have to visit the class in a while." By the way, are you going back to the office? ”

"Are you going to visit the 798 class?"

"That's right, the crew of "Women Are Not Bad" has been filming in the old factory of 798 for the past two days, don't you know?"

"Well, I haven't been to the office in days...... Brother Dong, I'll go with you to have a look. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

If Yu Dong didn't mention it, He Xin really forgot, compared to the unfamiliar Chen Kexin or the Chen family, isn't there still an old monster Xu!

Since Xu Ke hit the street with "Seven Swords", there was no high-profile promotion of creating the "Seven Swords" trilogy at that time. and messed up two big productions one after another, which made him in a low period in recent years.

Of course, although it is a low period, it does not mean that Xu Ke has no scenes to film. For example, in the first half of last year, he co-directed "Iron Triangle" with Lin Lingdong and To Qifeng, the romance film "Looking for People in the Deep Sea" in the second half of the year, and the romantic comedy "Women Are Not Bad" invested by Bona is now being filmed.

It's just that in addition to the investment of "Women Are Not Bad", there are twenty or thirty million, and the other two are small productions of several million.

Many people in the circle say that he is old, and that's it, like many former famous directors, he made a little trouble to earn some pension money, and then withdrew from the rivers and lakes to live his life.

But He Xin doesn't think so, thinking about the "Di Renjie" series in later generations, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", Xu Laowei, who is in his sixties, is still doing wind and rain.

Coincidentally, "Di Renjie" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" are a bit suspenseful and spy war.

"At noon, I want to invite Director Xu and a few creators to have dinner together, you can also participate, hey......"

Halfway through speaking, Yu Dong suddenly paused, widened his eyes and said, "You shouldn't want to fight Director Xu's idea, right?"

"By the way, let's talk about it first. After all, Director Xu is also an old acquaintance. He Xin smiled embarrassedly.

"Then you've got it figured. Yu Dong said with a hesitant expression.

"Aren't you looking for him to make a film too?"

"I'm in a different situation here, the investment is not large, and the product placement has almost recouped its investment. But "The Wind" is different......"

Like many insiders, Yu Dong also has doubts about Xu Laowei.

Speaking of which, the Huang brothers are courageous, and a "Di Renjie" not only made Xu Laowei turn around, but also made the Huayi brothers have a bumper harvest at the box office.

Then Yu Dong hurriedly followed suit, and there were the best-selling "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".

"Let's talk about it first. He Xin smiled lightly.

"You guy!"

Yu Dong shook his head, looking noncommittal.

The two drove to the old factory area of 798, which is not far from Xinhao Media Company, separated by two roads, 797 and 798. When I arrived at the scene, I saw that a huge stage had been set up in the square in front of a pile of dense pipes, distillations, and reactors, and a light yellow banner was hung horizontally on the blue steel plate behind the stage, with a few big words written on it: "Justice is invincible, music is immortal!"

There are also various cranes, rocker arms, rails, and workers are setting up scaffolding on the adjacent buildings, as well as arranging sound and installing various lights on those black and coarse industrial equipment.

Wrapped in a black down jacket, his gray hair was blown by the wind like a chicken nest, Xu Laowei was standing in the center of the field at this time, looking around, and pointing at Zhang Shuping beside him from time to time.

"Director Xu!"

"Ah Xin, long time no see!"

The two sides met and shook hands warmly.

Xu Ke is okay, I saw it once when "Black Triangle" was released last year and came to the capital to do publicity. Zhang Shuping hasn't seen each other for a long time, and Speaking of which, He Xin knew him the earliest. Traveling to this era, the first time He Xin had fashionable and decent clothes was the dozen sets of Japanese-style fashion that Zhang Shuping helped him buy when he was filming "Lan Yu".

"Can you shoot tonight?" Yu Dong asked after looking at the scene.

"No problem, if it goes well, this scene can be completed in three days. Xu Ke gestured a big circle with both hands, full of confidence.

Old Monster Xu is still the same Old Monster Xu, he doesn't see the decline of the low tide period at all, and he is always so high-spirited.

In fact, he is the same kind of person as Jiang Wen, and he often has wonderful ideas. For example, in the scene of this rock concert that is being prepared now, on the way here, He Xin heard Yu Dong complain, saying that it was not in the script, and it was added by Xu Laowei temporarily.

The extras alone need 500 people, and the re-setting of the scene, labor, venue fees, etc., will cost more than 2 million yuan for this scene.

However, compared to Jiang Wen's unscrupulous self-indulgence, there is a rational Shi Nansheng behind Xu Laowei to help him control everything, so it will not be too outrageous.
