On September 6, the 65th Venice Film Festival came to an end.

Compared with the five Chinese films shortlisted for the main competition unit last year, "Lust and Caution" won the Golden Lion, and "The Story of Two Donkeys" won the grand prize of the jury. This year's festival did not even have a single Chinese-language film shortlisted, only independent documentary director Wang Wenhai's documentary "Us" won the Special Mention Award in the Horizon section.

For this reason, Wang Xiaoshuai still regrets it a little, he knew that "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" should have signed up for the Venice Film Festival in the first place, and at least the nomination of the main competition unit would not be a problem.

However, He Xin's previous proposal is not unreasonable, and the English translation of "Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" is called "Feng Shui". Where do foreigners understand this, only in the East Asian cultural circle do everyone understand what Feng Shui means. After all, the award is one thing, and on the other hand, the film has to be sold.

Tang Wei terminated the contract with the company. ”

When Sister Hong told He Xin the news, he was not surprised, after all, Tang Wei's so-called ban was not written, in a sense, this is indefinite, and there is no possibility of rehabilitation. There is no point in staying in the brokerage company like this, sooner or later the contract will have to be terminated.

At least that's how he understands it now, although in his memories of his previous life he knew that Tang Wei would eventually make a comeback and then become an international soup.

Sister Hong was also very helpless, and finally came up with a "Zhang Ziyi second", but the special one was actually blocked, which was also a big blow to Haiyu Qianyi.

"Boss Jiang in Hong Kong is willing to sign her, and will find a way to help her get a Hong Kong identity. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a way out! Otherwise, if this kind of thing happens to a girl's family, she will have to work and eat in the future, right? Alas, what a pity. Sister Hong let out a long sigh and said with a look of regret.

As the saying goes, there are many people who are popular. Today's Tang Wei is a typical example, he became popular all of a sudden, and then he was unwilling to pay, and he aroused jealousy, and he deserved to be banned.

He Xin finally understood why Tang Wei was able to make a comeback later, and he dared to follow the same path as a beautiful boy.

After a sigh of emotion, Sister Hong said, "Oh, are you okay at noon, I asked Xingmei's President Qin to have dinner together, can we go together?"

"I'll forget it at noon, Haozi just came back from the northwest, and I made an appointment to meet at noon. ”

"That's ......"

Sister Hong nodded, but then she was a little suspicious: "Ah Xin, don't you have any opinions about Mr. Qin?"

Xingmei can also be regarded as one of the largest private film companies in China, they not only invest in movies but also operate cinemas, and the China Film Xingmei Cinema Line cooperated with China Film is currently the largest inter-provincial cinema chain in the country.

Sister Hong and Xingmei have a good relationship, and many actors under Sister Hong can be seen in the film and television works controlled by Xingmei. In fact, He Xin has a lot of intersections with this company, such as Wang Xiaoshuai's "Qinghong" and Mr. Yu's "Love and Afterlife" that he starred in before, all of which were invested by this company.

But what, how to say it?

On the one hand, the owner of this company may have started as a nightclub, and he doesn't seem to be a good person in his impression of opening a nightclub, and on the other hand, it is also because he had a lot of unpleasant experiences when he first filmed "Qinghong".

Although in business, it is indeed Wang Xiaoshuai's problem, but some of Xingmei's practices as an investment point are too cold-blooded, and later "Qinghong" was shortlisted for Cannes, such a large company actually let Yao Anlian, the teacher who has the most scenes in the film, go at his own expense, the reason is that Yao Anlian is not famous enough.

Although none of these involved He Xin, it made him have a bad impression of this company.

However, when he saw Sister Hong asking, he still smiled and said: "How is it possible, people are big bosses, what qualifications do I have to have opinions on others." ”

Sister Hong looked at him deeply and said, "It's good that you know, it's best not to offend people if you can be in the circle." Xingmei has the theater in her hand!"

"Well, I understand, but I really wasn't available today. He Xin could only smile bitterly.

He understands what Sister Hong means, in addition to the relevant departments above that have the power to approve the film company, there is also a theater that cannot be offended. If your movie is going to be released, and people don't schedule it for you, you can't do anything about it.

Now it is Zhang Weiping, who is a strange person, holding the national teacher in his hand and daring to argue with the theater chain and bargain for the box office share. Although he has seen a lot of negative news about Zhang Weiping on the Internet in his previous life, there is one thing to say, as a result of his several negotiations with the theater chain, as a film company, everyone is profitable.

"It's not that this time, even if you don't like people in your heart, at least you have to get by on the scene. Sister Hong still persuaded her again.

"Got it, Sister Hong, thank you!"

He Xin knew that Sister Hong was for his own good, probably this was his character flaw, as long as he was disgusted with a person, he was unwilling to deal with that person, and he couldn't even do perfunctory.

He came out of Sister Hong's company, went west along the North Third Ring Road, crossed the gate of Beijing Film Studio, turned right and entered the Huangtingzi Street at the junction of Beijing Film Studio and Nortel, walked about 200 meters, and stopped at the door of a restaurant called Red Coral.

"I said why did you make an appointment here, so you are all here!"

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ning Hao, Cui Shiwei, the screenwriter of "Crazy Racing", and Bo Ge sitting at a table by the window, all of whom had already drunk.

Cui Shiwei is Ning Hao's classmate of Nortel, and he has been following Ning Hao to shoot commercials and MVs since he was in school, including the later "Incense", "Green Meadow", and "Stone", and he is Ning Hao's old partner. This guy has a good literary style, and the book of "Racing" was saved by him and Ning Hao, as well as Yue Xiaojun and others.

As for Brother Bo, he once spent two years in Nortel, went to a junior college, and was a classmate of Liu Tianxian, who is very popular at the moment, but it is said that he has not seen him twice in school in two years, and everyone is basically filming outside.

In fact, strictly speaking, Ning Hao, Cui Shiwei and Huang Bo are considered to be one session, and they all graduated in 03.

"Hey, Brother Bo, isn't "Iron Man" turned on, when are you going to report to the crew?" He Xin sat down next to Huang Bo and asked casually.

"It's early, I don't have a lot of internal scenes, and it will take a while to join the group. Brother Bo grinned.

After director Yin Li completed "The Ballad of Yunshui", he prepared this main theme film that depicts the story of two generations of "iron men". Brother Bo mixed the role of male No. 3 in this film, playing the friend of the modern iron man Liu Li. The role of the iron man in history was played by Wu Gang.

He Xin took a glass of beer that Bo Ge had just poured for him and toasted everyone, and then asked, "How is it, this trip to the northwest is quite rewarding, right?"

"It's really rewarding.,The book is almost done.。 Ning Hao nodded with his characteristic innocent smile, but it was not difficult to see that this product was being proud at this moment.

"When are you going to start doing it?"

Because the preparation of "The Wind" is currently facing a huge overrun, he is really a little worried about the company's lack of funds.

"There's no rush for this, and it will have to start spring next year at the earliest. In winter, you can't shoot at all, it's cold. ”

As he spoke, he smiled at Huang Bonunu and said, "And Brother Bo will be able to vacate the schedule at that time." ”

"Hey, don't you want to say that, I'm like a big star, and I'm not scheduled. Brother Bo said embarrassedly.

Although he became a small hit in "Stone", except for the unreleased "Bullfight" and "Racing", the scenes he has received so far are basically supporting roles.

"Brother Bo, I'll guarantee you a big star for a month at most!" He Xin patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

Ning Hao came back early from the northwest this time, mainly because "Racing" is scheduled to be released on September 30, and the current publicity work has begun to start. And this year's National Day file competition is fierce, and there is only a four-day difference between "Racing" and "Painted Skin" released on September 26.

"Ah Xin, I have the bottom in my heart when I hear you say this, come on, come on, I'll toast you, I'll do it, you feel free. Bo Gele said.

As he spoke, he deliberately lowered his cup when he picked it up and clinked it.

has known Brother Bo for three or four years, and He Xin now already knows how Brother Bo, who was known as Brother Bo with high emotional intelligence in later generations, is nothing more than being low-key and speaking well.

"You're quite confident, I'm still up and down in my heart!" Ning Hao said a little worriedly.

The film "Racing" accounts for the majority of the film, and to put it mildly, this film is Ning Hao's vote to the third master, so the pressure on this guy is still quite high.

"According to the situation this year, it is clear that the domestic film market is picking up. Think about it, a bad movie like "Ten Perfect and Nine Beautiful" can sell more than 50 million, aren't you even as good as that fat man?"

"Fat Yue?"

"Oh, it's that Wang Yuelun, who accidentally said bald mouth. That's still the first brother, are you so unconfident as a ghost director?"

Ning Hao was a little embarrassed by what he said, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, this time is fierce competition after all." ”

In addition to "Painted Skin" starring Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, and Zhao Yanzi, this year's National Day file will be released on September 26, as well as the co-production "Keep Talking" directed by Chen Musheng and starring Gu Tianle, Liu Li, and Da S, which will be released the day before the release of "Painted Skin". On October 9, after the October Golden Week, the Hollywood blockbuster "Wanted" starring Angelina Jolie will also land in the Chinese mainland market. Compared with the year before last, when "Stone" was released, the competition was much fiercer.

"It's okay, anyway, I'm right to you, to Brother Bo, and of course, the most important thing is to have absolute confidence in the film "Racing"!"

He Xin said, picked up the cup and said: "Okay, don't suffer from gains and losses, with this work, you will work hard when the roadshow comes." Come, come, drink!"
