PropNex was the first private distribution company in the mainland, and then Huayi joined in. At the same time, Bona has gradually developed into the field of film investment and production from a single film distribution at the beginning, and the two companies have naturally formed a competitive relationship.

Xinhao Media has gone from the popularity of "Wulin Gaiden" to the rise of the dark horse of "Stone", which has made the Huang brothers hot. At first they wanted to try to get in touch with it, and they wanted to make an acquisition.

It's a pity that Xinhao Media didn't pick up at all, and even Bona, which has close cooperation with Xinhao Media, also did not succeed in the acquisition, so that the Huang brothers temporarily died down.

But immediately after the success of "Double-sided Tape" and "Latent", "The Story of Two Donkeys" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, which made the Huang brothers have to start to examine the rapid rise of Xinhao Media again.

None of the movies and TV series produced by Xinhao Media missed, although they did not have many works, but in the field of high-risk film and television drama investment, this is already a miracle. What's more important is that their investment in these movies and TV series is not large, and they are all classic examples of small and big.

Think about it, Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" has an investment of 60 million, and it is already ecstatic to be shortlisted for Venice if it failed to sign up for Cannes. But "The Tale of Two Donkeys" was also shortlisted, and the cost was not even one-tenth of that of "The Sun".

Although Jiang Wen has had successful examples, "Sunny Days" has won both word-of-mouth and box office; although "The Devil is Coming" has been banned in China, but with the blessing of the Cannes Jury Award, the overseas copyright income is still good, not only can the investment be recovered, but also a small profit.

But after all, an investment of 60 million is very risky!

Huayi has always attached great importance to directing, and film is the art of directing. Since holding the trump card of Feng pants in his hand, he has also aimed at Jiang Wen, even if Jiang Wen has been banned for five years, after Huayi Investment's "Looking for a Gun" and "Hero of Heaven and Earth" Jiang Wen are all male No. 1, and the works themselves have a strong personal style of Jiang Wen, but unfortunately Jiang Wen of the chicken thief is not on the set at all.

In 04, Feng Xiaogang and Huayi Brothers left Huayi for a short time after the expiration of their term, but Wang Jinghua's job hopping almost caused Huayi to suffer a catastrophe, but fortunately, Huang Zhongjun, who had been aware of the signs before the incident, re-signed the pants director who had made great contributions to the Huayi Brothers. Although a "Night Banquet" has a poor reputation, it at least saved the decline of the precarious Huayi Brothers. In addition, with the joining of Zhou Xun, Xiao Minghuang, Deng Chao and others, Huayi Brothers has obviously made a comeback.

Although the Huang brothers failed to win over Jiang Wen, they are renewing their contracts as pants directors, and at the same time carrying out in-depth cooperation with some other potential directors, such as Lu Chuan, Gao Qunshu, Cao Baoping, etc.

"Stone" exploded, and Ning Hao suddenly became a fragrant bait, but unfortunately he was taken first by the third master. However, with the successive launches of "Double-sided Tape", "Latent" and "The Story of Two Donkeys", those bigwigs in the circle suddenly discovered that Xinhao Media is not just a Ning Hao, and He Xin is not just an actor, he is also the behind-the-scenes promoter of these projects.

The combination of him and Ning Hao is very similar to the combination of Huayi Brothers' film director Chen Guofu and Feng Pants. It should be said that the Huayi brothers were able to quickly come out of the decline of Wang Jinghua leaving with a large number of artists, and these two people definitely contributed to it.

Especially Chen Guofu, many influential works launched by Huayi Brothers in recent years, "Ke Ke Xili", "No Thieves in the World", "There is a Ghost in My Heart", as well as "Assembly Number", which has not yet been released, and "Li Mi's Conjecture", which has begun to be hyped in advance, starring Zhou Xun and Deng Chao, and has not yet started, all of these movies have Chen Guofu's shadow behind them.

As a trader who has never missed, especially when he learned that He Xin was planning a spy war movie project with a novel theme with Uncle Gao Qun, it naturally aroused Huang Zhongjun's interest.

The investment of 20 million or 30 million may definitely be a big production for Xinhao Media, but it is just a medium-sized investment project for Huayi Brothers. It's not a big risk, and it's never missed, so it's a good investment. Of course, it would be even better if the two companies could cooperate more closely in the future through cooperation.

The current cooperation between Xinhao Media and PropNex is nothing more than PropNex's willingness to invest in their film projects, and it also has the distribution capabilities that Xinhao Media does not have.

The Huayi brothers all have this kind of condition, and the Huang brothers are even ready to come up with more favorable conditions than Bona. This is why Huang Zhongjun took the initiative to talk to him today, and after the failure to do so, he asked Li Bingbing to go out for an interview to explore the new tone.

It's a pity that He Xin is only interested in Li Bailian, and about the Huayi brothers...... Probably it can only be hehe. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of trust, at least since "Green Meadow", the cooperation between the company and PropNex has been relatively pleasant, and the two sides have a certain foundation of mutual trust.

On the one hand, He Xin is not familiar with the Huang family brothers, and on the other hand, it comes from all kinds of negative news about the Huang family brothers that he has seen on the Internet in later generations.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that after Fan Xiaopang and Huayi terminated the contract to set up their own studio at the beginning of the year, the Internet was almost full of negative news about Fan Xiaopang during this time, and you can get a glimpse of the leopard.

Of course, He Xin is not stupid, and he will not say that he is like the male protagonist in some entertainment, all kinds of pretending, not taking anyone in his eyes, and refusing words as soon as he comes up.

The brothers of the Huang family are now also bigwigs in the circle, and it is impossible for him to make a strong enemy for no reason. What's more, with the participation of Huayi Brothers in the competition, does Bona have to be more generous?

In the end, although I couldn't cooperate, I still used your company's artists, and everyone was happy, isn't that good!

So in the face of Li Bingbing's temptation, he could only be hypocritical, uh-huh, uh-huh, not the slightest bit of tone. Li Bailian was very unhappy, but at the same time, it was very in line with the normal logic of business negotiations.

Oh, by the way, there is another very important reason that compared to the Huang brothers, who are businessmen in their bones, Yu Dong can at least be called a filmmaker.

Of course, there is a hang-up between filmmakers and filmmakers.

......

It should be said that this time, the Huabiao Award and the Feitian Award were held two days before and after, which was still more humane. After all, whether it is actors, directors or behind-the-scenes staff who are engaged in literary and artistic work, everyone is very busy, and holding the award ceremony of the two awards in two days can allow everyone to better allocate their time.

Therefore, many of the people present are old faces, who just participated in the Feitian Award the day before, and appeared at the Huabiao Award today.

Before the start of the awards ceremony, regardless of whether there were any conflicts in private, under the care of the reporters' cameras, everyone greeted each other warmly. Although He Xin has always been relatively low-key, he is no longer a rookie, and many people took the initiative to come over to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. He!"

"Xiaohe, congratulations!"

"Well, young man, promising!"

“......”

Well, the person who said this was a man with a high hairline, a mole on his chin, and glasses, who looked a bit like Grandpa Mao, but he didn't have the affinity of Grandpa Mao, but his face was full of arrogance, and he looked like "I'm a teacher".

It's a pity that He Xin doesn't know each other.

This is a famous screenwriter, the editor-in-chief of "Film" magazine, and one of the judges of this year's Huabiao Award, Mr. Zhao Baohua. ”

As soon as he heard Yin Li's introduction beside him, He Xin suddenly realized that he was "Master".

Similar to this kind of person, there is often a title called "film critic", which is commonly known or influential film critic.

This kind of person is probably the kind that filmmakers are most reluctant to offend, and at the same time they love and hate. They often don't play a positive role in the movie, but they can do bad things when they want them. Some of the powerful ones can even influence the direction of the policies formulated by the relevant departments.

As for love and hate, it may be that after receiving the money, they are willing to help you tout, even if it is a bad movie, you can praise the film as a flower through their pen. But if you don't give money, or if the opponent gives money, then even if you are a national teacher, you will be sprayed by them.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, hello!"

He Xin hurriedly stretched out his hands politely to shake hands with the other party and say hello, putting his posture very low.

There is no way, I would rather offend a gentleman than offend this kind of pen-holder.

Everyone is meeting for the first time, and Mr. Zhao is quite satisfied with He Xin's performance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his chin slightly raised, which can be regarded as a response.

There were a lot of people at the scene, in addition to the guests, there were also many people wearing white shirts, including this teacher Zhao was also wearing a white shirt. Even though they were dressed in a low-key manner, even the live camera at the awards ceremony didn't take much care of them. But in the field, they are really the center.

They are all members of the jury, Huabiao Award as a government award, each session will have a huge jury, except for a few necessary directors, actors, screenwriters and other professional judges, most of the rest are from the propaganda of various relevant departments of the state, and most of the levels are at the department level. Qi Yan reads

Of course, there are also high and low levels between white shirts, for example, Mr. Zhao, who was arrogant in front of He Xin just now, turned his head and saw him nodding in front of another white shirt, just like the role played by Shi Hang in Jiang Wen's movie "Evil Does Not Prevail" in the later generations.

"Koga!"

One tall and one short, two middle-aged women walked towards him.

"Teacher Yue! Sister Jiang Shan!"

He Xin hurriedly greeted him.

These two are the only two actress judges of this year's Huabiao Awards. Women can hold up half the sky, and there are a total of four actors and judges, two men and two women. The other two male actor judges are the famous Mandarin actor Liu Peiqi and the head of the Bayi Factory Actors Troupe Liu Zhibing (a middle-aged handsome guy, the husband of the little cabbage Ruping).

"Xiaohe, you're really amazing now. This time I went to Venice to try to get an actor back!" Jiang Shan said with a smile.

Looking at the former white moonlight, He Xin felt a little emotional. Jiang Shan, who has been divorced for many years, now finds a boyfriend who is nine years younger than her. It is said that the two met when they collaborated on a family ethics drama, and the little boyfriend was unknown and still played her son in the play.

But no matter what, at least Jiang Shan is like two people when the two of them filmed "Conquest", a sense of happiness from the heart is on her face, and the whole person looks a lot younger.

Sure enough, women need to be moisturized. This flower, which was once about to wither, is now clearly bright again.

As for her little boyfriend who is nine years younger, He Xin can't tell whether he has a kind of envy or jealousy, in short, it's not a taste.

Of course, on the surface, he still smiled and said: "Sister Jiang Shan, I don't dare to think about the actor, I just went to join in the fun and participate." ”

"Then tonight's actor doesn't dare to think about it?" Jiang Shan suddenly asked again, and at the same time, those very charming eyes winked at him.

"Huh?"

He Xin's heart suddenly jumped. Although in his mind, the Huabiao Award may be a grade lower than the Golden Rooster Award, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to win it! Last night, he sat at the National Center for the Performing Arts for more than two hours, and finally he was empty-handed, and his heart was still very unhappy.

There's no way, Mr. Li Youbin's "Bright Sword" is too popular, and Mr. Wang Wufu is a special actor of the commander-in-chief, and he has no temper at all.

Unfortunately, among the four finalists for the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actor this time, Mr. Wang Wufu happened to be the actor in the movie "On the Taihang Mountain" and occupied a shortlisted place. Then in addition to He Xin himself, the other two are Feng Gong in "Don't Treat Yourself as a Cadre" and Fu Dalong in "Tiangu".

To be honest, in his eyes, Uncle Feng should most likely be the role of escort. But Fu Dalong's Li Tiangu is really good, although it may not be as exaggerated as the beautiful boy Qing performed in another time and space, but He Xin felt very shocked when he watched it in the cinema, even if he played it, he didn't dare to say that he could surpass Fu Dalong's performance.

Four actors were shortlisted, and according to the tradition of the Huabiao Awards, two winners, with a probability of 50%. But one of the four people is running with him, the other is a plug-in, and the rest is the strength competition between him and Fudalong. To be honest, he wasn't sure at all.

At this time, he got Jiang Shan's hint, although he knew that this inside information must be accurate, he still subconsciously looked at Teacher Yue Hong.

Teacher Yue Hong also smiled and nodded at him slightly.

"Uh, thank you, Teacher Yue!

He held back the excitement in his heart, lowered his voice and thanked his two sisters.

Although these two judges' sisters are not enough to decide the ownership of the award, it goes without saying that they must have voted for themselves.

"Cut, thank you verbally?" Jiang Shan said arrogantly.

"Sister, then how do you say it is appropriate? Otherwise, tomorrow I will set up a table in the county palace, what do you think?" he said busily.

"That's pretty much it. Jiang Shan nodded with a smile.

However, Yue Hong thought about him and said, "You will leave the day after tomorrow, or you will wait until you come back." Maybe it can turn into a celebration feast!"

"No, I don't have time to come back, I can't go back to the capital. Just tomorrow, after I go back and book, I'll send a text message to your phone. Two sisters, call your family together. He Xin said happily.

Teacher Yue Hong couldn't help laughing when he saw him insisting: "That's good, my Ian is your little fan, and he has been clamoring to see you for a long time!"

"Oh, Ian should take the college entrance exam next year, right?"

He Xin remembered that after filming "The Story of Two Donkeys" last year, Teacher Yue Hong also specially asked for a few signed stills for his daughter.

"I finished the exam this year and was admitted to the Nortel Department of Directing. Teacher Yue Hong inevitably showed pride when she talked about her daughter.

"Yo, then there will be a female director in the future. ”

He immediately responded very cheerfully, and then smiled at Jiang Shan: "Sister, don't forget, bring the one from your family too." Although I don't know him very well, he is also my senior brother in Chinese opera!"

Jiang Shan's face was slightly red at first, but then she shook her head, and said with a sad face: "Forget about him, I'll bring our family over with one heart." ”

As she spoke, she seemed to deliberately divert the topic, and said, "Don't forget, bring your family with you." ”

"Yo, she can't do it, she went to the group to film. ”

"That's not a coincidence......"

was chatting, when I heard someone next to me laughing: "It's so lively!"

The three of them brushed back together, and saw Han Sanye and a white shirt about fifty years old wearing glasses.

"Han Dong!"

"Director Guo!"

He Xin didn't know the white shirt, but just followed Yue Hong and Jiang Shan to say hello.

"Xiaohe, don't know me, let me introduce you, this is Director Guo of the Literature and Art Department of the Party Newspaper. He is also one of the judges of this year's Huabiao Awards. ”

When He Xin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly held the other party's hand with both hands, and said with a grateful face: "Director Guo, hello! Thank you, thank you very much!"

As for what to thank, everyone knows it. A sentence in the "Party Daily" once commented: The standard work of spy war dramas has created the recognition of "Latent" by the whole society, and the craze has not subsided.

This Director Guo was obviously also very humorous, holding his hand and laughing: "What should I call you, He Xin or Comrade Yu Zecheng?"
