Chapter 199: The Big Guy in the Circle

Zhang Pu's conditions are definitely very tempting.

Especially if the investment of less than 200 million yuan is arbitrary, this is definitely a condition that other film and television companies can't give.

Jiang Yun wouldn't think that Zhang Pu was making empty promises here.

Oriental DreamWorks is small, but it can be rich.

"Are you really going to go to Xiaopu's Oriental Dream Factory?"

After Zhang Pu left, Cai Ya asked.

She could see that Jiang Yun's heart was moved.

"This condition, it is estimated that the old guy who shelved Zhang Ke will be moved. Jiang Yun said with a smile.

Zhang Ke is now the most box office appeal director in China, and he is also the director who has the most investment.

However, even he is subject to a lot of restrictions, and it is impossible to shoot whatever he wants, especially when he has a large investment and a big production, he is more constrained.

For people like Jiang Yun and Zhang Ke, the creative space is probably the biggest attraction for them.

Take Zhang Ke as an example, two films with a box office of over 100 million, but are those two films really what he wants to make and is willing to make?

People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.

This is the case in many industries.

There are times when great directors can't help themselves.

For example, some directors want to make a certain film, but the company is not optimistic.

Shooting, in the end, it is natural to be able to shoot, but the additional conditions are estimated to be indispensable. For example: how much the box office must reach, and how to do it if it is not reached.

Is this situation rare in the circle?

"Then I'll go talk to that kid from the Xu family?" Cai Ya said.

Cai Ya is teaching at the film academy, and she is already in a state of semi-retirement, but now that Jiang Yun is back, she estimates that she is more of an assistant to him.

"Let's talk!" Jiang Yun nodded and said, "It's almost enough, don't embarrass Zhang Pu." ”

"Yes. Cai Ya said, "You, a student, are not very powerful, I'm afraid it's not in the director." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Yun looked at suspiciously.

"Screenwriter!" Cai Ya said, "Don't you say that you went to Oriental DreamWorks, there is no reason for this?"

"I won't go to Oriental DreamWorks and ask him for a script, will he give it to him?" Jiang Yun pouted and said.

He has to admit that the most amazing thing about Zhang Pu is not that the director's three small-budget films are all high box office, but his screenwriting ability.

The importance of screenwriters in China is difficult to compare with Hollywood.

But people like Jiang Yun know very well how difficult it is to encounter a good script.

How important a good script is to a movie.

Remembering that Zhang Ke had red eyes and a face full of envy and jealousy after reading the script of "Farewell My Concubine", Jiang Yun felt a sense of comfort rushing straight to his head.

"I will definitely give it, but if I want a script like "Farewell My Concubine", I'm afraid it's difficult. Cai Ya said with a smile.

Zhang Pu is a person, and Cai Ya naturally knows that he is a person who values feelings.

Jiang Yun asked him for a script, Zhang Pu would not refuse, and the script given would definitely not be bad.

Will you come up with the best?

I'm afraid it's hard to say.

Human.

What's more, if you ask for it once or twice, can you go on forever?

If you want it once, you will have one less point of affection.

"Agreed?" Xu Jiadong said with some surprise.

"Don't you listen to my conditions?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"What conditions?" Xu Jiadong said casually.

He really didn't care much about this condition. To put it mildly, the major shareholder of Oriental DreamWorks is Zhang Pu. At the beginning, he was able to take out 60% of the shares to pull Zhang Pu in, but Jiang Yun's coffee position and value were not comparable to Zhang Pu at that time.

The current Zhang Pu is estimated to be incomparable, and the original Zhang Pu is even more incomparable.

Zhang Pu said the conditions and said, "How to talk to my wife, you can do it! My teacher came to our broken company, and it is not too much to give any conditions." In addition, we can't treat the people brought by the teacher badly. ”

"Don't worry!" Xu Jiadong said.

As Xu Jiadong said before, if Jiang Yun comes, the difficulty of digging people will be reduced by ninety.

This is an invisible influence.

If "Farewell My Concubine" has outstanding results, this influence will be even greater.

"I'll be on the plane later, the teacher is coming, you explain it to him. Zhang Pu said.

"Farewell My Concubine" is led by Oriental DreamWorks, and post-production is naturally completed here.

Jiang Yun, as a director, will definitely follow up.

"Get out!"

Xu Jiadong waved his hand and said.

Zhang Pu is going to Xiangjiang, and Xu Jiadong naturally knows it.

The new film needed a team of action designers.

Zhang Pu doesn't know much of the filmmakers over there, and it is estimated that Chen Huatao is more familiar.

Zhang Pu invited Yuan Hong, the action director of the Xiangjiang boss level this time.

Yuan Hong has a very high status among Xiangjiang filmmakers, not only as an action director, but also as an action actor, and also as a director.

He is also one of the most dazzling filmmakers in the most glorious period of Hong Kong films.

Zhang Pu is not familiar with him, so he naturally needs someone to match.

On this trip to Xiangjiang, in addition to Tan Siming, Zhang Chu was also entouraged.

Zhang Chu starred in the action movie directed by Xu Ming, and the action director was Yuan Hong.

The two are also familiar with each other.

Of course, it's not to the point of matchmaking.

It's Xu Ming who pulls the strings!

"Brother Tao?"

Zhang Pu was a little surprised, as soon as they got off the plane, Chen Huatao actually came to pick up the plane.

"I heard Director Xu say that you are coming to Xiangjiang, and I will pick you up when I am free. Chen Huatao said with a smile, "You too, you didn't notify me when you came to Xiangjiang." ”

"Brother Tao is a busy man, and I can't bother it!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's take you to the hotel to rest first, and then take you to see Hong Ye. Chen Huatao said.

"Then it's troublesome Brother Tao. ”

Zhang Pu said with a smile and did not refuse.

When people come, if you refuse, it will be a loss of face.

Chen Huatao and Yuan Hong are naturally familiar with each other.

It is said that Chen Huatao was banned by a certain company back then, and it was Yuan Hong who came forward to settle for him, and promoted him to star in his own movie.

At that time, Yuan Hong's movies were very influential.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it has the grace of reinvention for him.

Of course, Chen Huatao is also a person who remembers his gratitude, otherwise he would not have been able to go to this level today.

Some people say that Chen Huatao likes to bring newcomers, and a large part of the reason is because of Yuan Hong.

This may also be a kind of inheritance.

Yuan Hong is now in his fifties, burly and full of momentum, but when he laughs, he feels like a spring breeze.

"Taozi is here, feel free to do it yourself. Yuan Hong smiled and said to Zhang Pu, "Director Zhang, I didn't expect to be so young, really young and promising." Xiao Zhang is also here, please take a seat, please take a seat! You're welcome. ”

"Master Hong!"

Zhang Pu and the others hurriedly greeted.

People in the circle call it that, if it is called "Yuan Dao", it may be a little more polite, but it is a little less cordial.

"Xu Ming mentioned it to me, saying that you want to invite me to be the action director of your new film?" Yuan Hong said directly to the point.

called Chen Huatao "Taozi", and called Xu Ming's name, it is estimated that there are few people in the film industry.

However, Yuan Hong definitely has this qualification.

Xu Ming is also a junior in front of him.

The two are about the same age, but when Yuan Hong became famous, Xu Ming was still working in the crew!

"Yes!" Zhang Pu nodded and said, "The new film is a god and demon film, I don't know if Hong Ye is interested? In addition, I also want to invite Hong Ye to play an important role in it." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Hong smiled and said, "The action director is no problem, but to play the role in it, I have to read the script first." ”

An important role?

Yuan Hong naturally knows that he is nothing more than a supporting role.

He is not averse to playing supporting roles.

As he got older, he gradually moved behind the scenes, but he also played some supporting roles when he was interested.

Of course, he plays supporting roles, mostly in films in which he participates behind the scenes.

Zhang Pu smiled and handed over the script.

"A Chinese Ghost Story?"

Yuan Hong picked it up and looked at it, nodded, the title is good.

This should be a ghost movie, right?

It seems that there is nothing inappropriate to say that it is a god and demon type film.

Scholars, female ghosts, dryads, swordsmen, Taoist priests......

Good script!

If you agreed to be the action director of this film so happily before, it is completely for Zhang Pu's fame.

is so young, three consecutive small-budget movies have achieved amazing box office, one of which has broken one billion.

There is no harm in working with a young director with such great potential.

He is also extremely interested in Zhang Pu.

After so many years in the industry, I haven't seen any talented people, but there is really no one who can compare with Zhang Pu.

After reading the script, Yuan Hong was really interested in this film.

"Yan Chixia?" Yuan Hong looked at Zhang Pu with a smile and said.

"That's right!" Zhang Pu nodded and said.

In the play "A Chinese Ghost Story", Zhang Pu chose the 87 version, and the plot has not changed.

The scene will definitely be bigger, not to mention the special effects.

The reason why Zhang Pu chose this drama is that in addition to liking it, it is mainly to praise people.

Hold Xiao Xue.

It doesn't mean anything else, it's just a peach in return.

Well, that's it.

There are not many outstanding roles in the film, and Yan Chixia is definitely one of them.

"I took this role too. Yuan Hong said with a smile.

He likes the role of Yan Chixia, not Zhang Pu's face. Although this role is a supporting role, if it is played well, it may not be worse than the hero and heroine.

Yuan Hong is also a director, how can he not have this eyesight.

Of course, when Zhang Pu was invited, he actually agreed halfway.

As long as the role is not too bad, he is not ready to refuse at all. I just didn't want Zhang Pu to surprise him.

Everything was settled, and then the small talk was very pleasant.

"Let's have a meal together!" Yuan Hong said with a smile, "Last time, Xiao Zhang bullied me for being old and frail, and now I will call that kid from my family back and have a drink with you." ”

Zhang Pu glanced at Zhang Chu, but smiled.

It seems that Zhang Chu drank Yuan Hong down when he filmed Xu Ming's drama.

Anyone who has been a soldier will not drink badly.

However, is the amount of alcohol drunk by people like Yuan Hong poor?

Yuan Hong called his youngest son, in his twenties, named Yuan Bin.

Yuan Bin is much more handsome than Yuan Hong when he was younger, but his height of nearly 1.9 meters has been somewhat affected in the film and television industry.

It's too high, and it's hard to find a play.

In addition, his father Yuan Hong is too famous, so naturally like many second-generation stars, he is not popular.

Yuan Hong is less than 1.8 meters tall, but he has a son who is nearly 1.9 meters?

Zhang Pu was not surprised, who let Yuan Hong have a wife who was more than one meter and eight meters and was born as a model?

"Director Zhang, if you have the opportunity in the future, bring this kid from my family. Yuan Hong said with a smile, "This kid has a tendon, and he has to mix in the film and television industry." ”

Yuan Hong said it very casually, and he may not expect Zhang Puzhen to help.

I guess he said this to many people.

Yuan Bin did get a lot of roles, but unfortunately they were all supporting roles, and they weren't very brilliant. Yuan Hong also paid for his own filming to praise Yuan Bin, but unfortunately he didn't have any bubbles, and he lost a lot.

The second generation of stars who are not popular is like a spell in the film and television industry.

He asked Yuan Bin to come back, and it is estimated that he will be introduced to Zhang Pu, and it is good to keep a familiar face.

Opportunities are earned.

Hong Ye laughed. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "However, if Brother Bin likes the film and television industry, I have a suggestion." ”

It can make the hearts of parents all over the world.

Yuan Hong made a very good impression on Zhang Pu, and he also grew up watching Yuan Hong's movies, so he said a few more words.

"Oh? Yuan Hong was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

Yuan Bin also looked at it curiously.

In front of him, a young man who was younger than himself, he didn't dare to despise him.

This is a person who can talk to his father.

Zhang Pu's name, who hasn't heard of it in the film and television industry now?

"Go north!" Zhang Pu said.

If you go north, you will naturally go to the mainland for development.

There are many such Xiangjiang filmmakers.

However, there are not many actors. And those who can mix up some fame are people who have already made a lot of fame.

Except for the son of Yuan Hong, it is estimated that few people remember his name Yuan Bin.

If he goes north, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a role.

Yuan Hong's connections are probably all in Xiangjiang.

The director of Xiangjiang in the north may give Yuan Hong face, but even so, Yuan Bin may not be able to pull any good roles.

The important roles are basically investors.

The other characters are mostly soy sauce.

"The mainland has a huge market. Zhang Pu said, "Nowadays, the center of gravity of Chinese films is on the mainland, which is an indisputable fact. ”

"In Xiangjiang, I am covered, he is mixed like this, if he goes to the mainland, I am afraid he will not even be able to get a trick. Yuan Hong sighed and said.

What Zhang Pu said is indeed the truth.

Nowadays, there is indeed no development scenario in Xiangjiang.

But in Xiangjiang, with his Yuanhong's face, how can he find an opportunity.

And went to the mainland?

"There's no need to stumble in the film industry, in the field of TV dramas and variety shows, there are more opportunities than in Xiangjiang. Zhang Pu continued.

Xiangjiang filmmakers are a little lacking, largely because of a lack of opportunities.

The Hong Kong Film Market can't afford to support so many filmmakers.

Today's Xiangjiang films need the support of the mainland market. And mainland fans are probably familiar with those old Xiangjiang stars.

There are very few young Xiangjiang actors who are famous in the mainland, and even fewer can support the box office of a movie.

Investors naturally dare not use them.

If you don't have a chance, how can you get ahead?

"Master Hong, my words may be a little ugly. Zhang Pu continued, "If the young people of Xiangjiang do not go north, it may be difficult to get ahead, which is determined by the market. Brother Bin really wants to be famous in the film and television industry, but the only way to open up his popularity in the mainland is to open up his popularity. Unless he does behind the scenes. ”

Yuan Hong frowned.

As a person who has witnessed the glory of Xiangjiang movies, Zhang Pu's words are indeed a little ugly, and even very heart-wrenching.

But Yuanhong had to admit that what Zhang Pu said was the truth.

Zhang Pu said this, naturally with good intentions.

If it's a different person, why risk upsetting yourself by saying this.

Just be polite.

Sighing, Yuan Hong said to Yuan Bin: "Forget it, you can consider this matter yourself." If you think about it, do it!"

"Director Zhang, if I go north to the mainland to develop, please take care of it at that time. Yuan Bin smiled and said.

Zhang Pu's suggestion, he was undoubtedly extremely moved.

Perhaps, when you go to the mainland, it is more difficult to find opportunities, but you can better get rid of the shadow of your old man!

In Xiangjiang, no matter what achievements you make, you will be considered to be influenced by your father.

He's just a second-generation star who sits back and enjoys his success.

"Naturally!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Yuan Bin's appearance conditions are good, and he is practicing martial arts, if his acting skills are passable, it is still worth praising it.
