Chapter 733: The Top Dinner in the Film Industry (4100+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)
Zhang Yimou heard that Wu Jianye had a suitable candidate, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Ge You!"
Just like Zhang Guoxuan's Cheng Dieyi, is there anyone in this world who is more suitable to play the role of Fugui than Ge You?
Apparently not!
"Li Dongbao?" Zhang Yimou recalled and asked, "Is he okay?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call you and you can see it?"
After speaking, regardless of Zhang Yimou's reaction, Wu Jianye called Ge You and asked him to come to the hotel as well, but when he called Wu Jianye, Ge You was drinking with Xie Yuan and Liang Tian, and when he heard Wu Jianye calling them, he also happily agreed.
Zhang Yimou called Ge You when he saw Wu Jianye, and he didn't ask too much, and told Wu Jianye about another thing.
"This movie Fengge Pictures contacted me and was invested by them, do you know about this?"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "I really don't know, but Fengge Pictures should also invest, if this movie wants to be released in China, it is basically impossible, and it can only take the overseas route." ”
Wu Jianye really doesn't know about this kind of thing, now Fengge Pictures has its own management team, Wu Jianye has long been out of the specific details of the work, Lao Mouzi's current fame has long been not limited to this part of the country, with repeated successes at European film festivals.
His fame is similar to Wu Jianye's fame after filming "The Red Lantern Hangs High" and "The Last Emperor", and he also has a group of loyal fans in Southeast Asia and even Europe, and it is not surprising that Fengge Pictures will invest in him.
In another time and space, both "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive" are invested by Xiangjiang film companies, "Farewell My Concubine" is invested by Xiangjiang Tomson Films, and "Alive" is invested by Xiangjiang Age Films.
In fact, during this period, many Xiangjiang film companies also set their sights on the domestic film industry, and this kind of thing with a large population base and great potential in China is not only known by the reborn, but other people have actually seen it, but these Xiangjiang film companies have not caught up with the good times, the domestic screening industry cannot keep up, and the supervision is not strong, and in the end, their investment can only go to the overseas literary film market and video tape market, so they slowly give up their investment in China.
The most successful of these is actually "Sunny Days" invested by Wen Fatzi, which made him the most successful investment in China by Xiangjiang filmmakers in the 90s.
And Wen Fatzi's ability to invest in "Sunny Days" was actually introduced by Liu Xiaoqing from the middle.
Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "The manager of Fengge Pictures is also quite interesting, I originally wanted me to shoot another movie, but when I heard that I wanted to adapt your "Alive", I immediately agreed, or your fame!"
Wu Jianye smiled, the other party was obviously patting his ass, but there was no need to talk to Zhang Yimou about this kind of thing.
Zhang Guoxuan, who had been listening to their conversation, glanced at them with some curiosity, Zhang Guoxuan had been observing for a long time, and he found that these people chatting together would be very casual, and they didn't regard Wu Jianye as a big boss at all, originally I was very curious about how they had this attitude, but when I was chatting with Jiang Qian in a whisper just now, I realized that Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei and others were all classmates.
This made Zhang Guolu very curious about what kind of school could teach so many outstanding film talents in one session.
After knowing their relationship, I just heard them talk about Fengge Pictures again, and found that they didn't know that Wu Jianye was the behind-the-scenes boss of Fengge Pictures, and I felt a little curious.
In fact, this is not to blame Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others don't know that after Wu Jianye integrated the media industry in Xiangjiang, he had already ordered Fengge Media not to report his identity in Xiangjiang, so almost no one in the media in Xiangjiang has mentioned Wu Jianye's commercial achievements anymore over the years, and the focus of the report has been on Wu Jianye's success in directing.
So Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others didn't know.
There were many people at the scene, so naturally he didn't speak alone, everyone else listened, Zhang Guolu chatted with Jiang Qian at this time.
Chen Kaige chatted with Gu Changwei about the movie, Director Xie Jin pulled Wu Jianye to drink with him, and Zhang Yimou and Gong Li didn't know what to whisper.
After a while, someone pushed open the door of the private room, and everyone looked back and found that Ge You, Xie Yuan, and Liang Tian had arrived.
Zhang Yimou looked even more serious, he naturally knew Ge You, who was not bald yet, wearing a simple cotton coat with a ridiculous smile on his face.
At this time, Ge You and the three of them were also greeting everyone, Xie Yuan naturally didn't feel unfamiliar, half of them were their classmates, what else was polite, Ge You and Liang Tian were a little jerky, here they were only more familiar with Wu Jianye, although the others had also met a few times, but they were not familiar.
Ge You was also a little stunned when he saw so many people in the private room, he originally thought that there were only a few people who knew each other such as Wu Jianye, but he didn't expect there to be so many people, which made him a little unlet go for a while.
In fact, Ge You is such a person, in front of acquaintances, he has a lot of fun, but if he has friends who don't know each other, he will seem a little cramped.
Wu Jianye was not polite, and directly asked them to sit down, fortunately this time Chen Kaige found a larger private room in order to receive Zhang Guoxuan, otherwise he really couldn't sit so many people.
Wu Jianye said to Ge You: "Lao Mouzi, I am preparing a new movie during this time, which is adapted from the book "Alive" I wrote before, and I recommended you to Lao Mouzi!"
As soon as Ge You heard that this was the case, he didn't talk to Wu Jianye so politely, and teased: "Yo, then I have to thank you!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "I said before, you will definitely become an excellent actor, this opportunity has come!"
In fact, Wu Jianye's new movie is also like cooperating with Ge You, but Ge You's image is still a little worse, and it is not suitable for the role of the new film, otherwise Ge You will be able to enjoy the joint preferential treatment of the three top directors in advance!
Zhang Yimou didn't speak at this time, just paid attention to Wu Jianye's chat with Ge You, and after chatting for a while, he said seriously: "There is no problem with the appearance, as for the performance!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, there will be no mistake in the person I recommend, of course, the audition is still the audition, and you will know it yourself when the time comes!"
Zhang Yimou saw that Wu Jianye was so sure that Ge You was suitable for this role, so he smiled and said: "Okay, this matter is decided first, Youzi will go to the court culture tomorrow, you can try a few lines for me, if it's okay, the role of Fugui is yours!"
The script of "Alive", although it has not come out, but there is an original book, just take a few paragraphs on it and change it to ordinary character dialogue, and it will be no problem!
Ge You hadn't reacted at this time, so didn't he ask himself if he wanted to?
But this is the time to show Ge You's other two advantages, that is, he will not refuse people, and he is very righteous with buddies!
In Ge You's opinion, Wu Jianye is his buddy, and the movie he recommended must not be wrong, and now that the words have been said for this part, he is embarrassed to refuse again!
I had to smile and say, "Okay, when is it appropriate for me to go over tomorrow?"
Zhang Yimou thought for a moment and said, "Afternoon." Then he said to Wu Jianye: "Old Wu, it's no problem to borrow me the conference room of the court culture!"
Wu Jianye scolded: "You have said so, what else can be wrong!"
At this time, although Zhang Yimou's compilation is still in the West Film Studio, the filming has long been out of the relationship with the West Film Studio, there must be Gong Li in this, the matter between the two is in a uproar in the West Film Studio, plus Wu Tianming also left the West Film Studio, he naturally has no reason to stay in the West Film Studio!
Chen Kaige saw the three of them chatting on the side, and also said lively: "Youzi, I also have a role in the movie here that is quite suitable for you, how about it, come and do my buddy a favor!"
At this time, the wine bureau was already halfway through, and Chen Kaige had already drunk a lot, otherwise he would definitely not talk like this on weekdays!
Ge You smiled: "Then you can afford me, but Director Zhang is here!"
Chen Kaige said with a smile: "Lao Mouzi's movie has to wait, my side is finished, and he may not be able to build it!"
If this kind of thing is put on the actors of later generations, there will definitely be many aspects considered, such as the salary, the influence of the director, the size of the role, etc., but this kind of thing does not exist in Ge You.
As I said just now, Ge You has a big characteristic, that is, he will not refuse people, so now that Chen Kaige has said so, Ge You is naturally not easy to refuse.
"Nacheng, if you can afford me, then I'm fine!" agreed.
In fact, when Ge You just came in, Chen Kaige fell in love with Ge You, thinking that Ge You and Yuan Siye in his movie were very compatible, anyway, he snatched the female lead of Lao Mouzi, and then snatched the male lead, there is nothing to say!
Chen Kaige saw that Ge You agreed, and then introduced Zhang Guolu to Ge You, explaining that Zhang Guolu is one of the protagonists of the movie "Farewell My Concubine"!
Xie Yuan asked curiously next to him: "What about the other male lead, have you figured out who to find?"
"Farewell My Concubine", like "Alive", is adapted, and Xie Yuan, as Chen Kaige's classmate, also knew early that Chen Kaige was going to shoot this movie, so he still knows some about the content of the movie.
Chen Kaige smiled: "What, you want to try!"
The two are classmates, and they have collaborated on movies like "The Child King" before, so they are naturally very familiar with each other, so they have no scruples when they talk.
Xie Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, I have a drama on me, if it weren't for the Chinese New Year, I would still be in the crew, I wouldn't have time to go to your side, but I have a suitable candidate!"
Xie Yuan is now filming "Huhai Family" and does not have time to participate in Chen Kaige's film.
Chen Kaige asked curiously, "Who?"
Xie Yuan smiled and said, "Then you have to toast me with a glass of wine, and I'll tell you again!"
Chen Kaige didn't shirk, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Nacheng, I thank you in advance!"
After the two finished drinking, Xie Yuan smiled and said: "Zhang Fengyi, I feel that his image is quite suitable for Duan Xiaolou, and he himself has a foundation in Peking Opera!"
Chen Kaige's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What is Lao Zhang doing now?"
Xie Yuan said: "I made a phone call two days ago, and I was squinting at home!"
Chen Kaige hurriedly looked at Wu Jianye, and Wu Jianye comprehended the phone and handed the phone to Chen Kaige.
Chen Kaige took the phone and went out to call.
And Wu Jianye introduced Zhang Guolu to Ge You, in fact, they had already introduced each other just now, but now Ge You has decided to participate in "Farewell My Concubine", which means that the two will have a lot of time together in the future, so it is also appropriate to reintroduce it.
Ge You has this kind of affinity, whether he knows him before or not, when he sees him, he will be attracted by his affinity, even Zhang Guolu is no exception, so the two just chatted a few words, and then they became warm.
Seeing this, Jiang Qian gave up his position to Ge You, and sat in Ge You's position.
After a while, Chen Kaige came back with the phone.
Wu Jianye was asking Xie Yuan at this time how the three of them got together.
Xie Yuan smiled: "Guess!"
Wu Jianye glanced at Xie Yuan and said, "The three of you also want to set up a film and television company, right?"
Xie Yuan glanced at Wu Jianye in surprise: "Old Wu, you are really a god, you have guessed this!"
Wu Jianye smiled, he naturally wouldn't tell them that he knew in another time and space that these three people would get together and start a film company, but the film company of the three of them was also like a joke, and if a movie didn't come out, it would be a yellow stall.
In fact, at this time, there were many domestic film companies, similar to Xiangjiang Jiǔ in the 10s, they were all a few actors, or directors started film and television companies as soon as they were hot.
As a result, no one had this experience, and in the end, they all died.
Chen Peisi's Hainan Film and Television Company, Feng Pants, Wang Shuo and others' Dream Film and Television are all products of this kind.......
"Lao Wu, you wait, when our company is up, we will definitely be able to do your dignified culture!" Xie Yuan joked.
Wu Jianye glanced at Xie Yuan and said, "Since you are so confident, then we can say that when the time comes, you are not allowed to come to my side to borrow people or equipment!"
Xie Yuan's face fell, and he hurriedly said: "Don't, our old classmates are joking with each other, why are you still taking it seriously, this is not good!"
The equipment of Tangting Culture is famous all over the world, and there are many actors, and even Ge You now has a contract with Tangting Culture.
Now domestic film and television companies are basically no different from leather bag companies, and you can open an office if you find an office, but it belongs to the existence of nothing, and it is far from wanting to make movies!
"Then you have to toast me with a glass of wine!" Wu Jianye said with a smile!
"Well said!"
