Chapter 204: What kind of life do you want

Love that is not aimed at marriage is a hooligan!

Zhang Pu said this, Xu Jiahui naturally heard it.

It's just that when I heard it before, I smiled, but at this moment, it was a different feeling.

There are many girls chasing Zhang Pu, and I have heard about this from Xiao Xue.

And now, Zhang Pu is a hot director, so young, handsome, and talented.

It seems that it should be quite rich!

At least for many, Zhang Pu does have money now.

The net worth is more than 100 million, it depends on who it is.

A female fan who fights the fire with moths, a female star with an ulterior purpose, as long as Zhang Pu is willing, it is estimated that it will be no problem to change a girlfriend a day.

But Zhang Pu didn't, not one.

It is really rare for a director like him to be "clean and self-conscious" in the circle.

If he falls in love, he probably really rushes to get married.

This kind of wood may not be suitable for love, but it is definitely suitable for marriage.

"Do you mean that you didn't have a girlfriend because there was no one who made you want to get married yet?" Xu Jiahui looked at Zhang Pu, her eyes flashing a little gloomy.

How she understood it was right.

"The main thing is that I don't plan to do that yet. Zhang Pu said.

Don't you plan to do that?

Xu Jiahui thought for a while and said, "I really want to know, what else is there in your world besides work? Don't you think that you work all day long, and this is very boring? Is this the life you want?"

When Zhang Pu heard this, he was stunned.

He seems to be really as Xu Jiahui said, all day long is not work, that is, he is preparing for work.

Is this kind of life really what you want?

Apparently not!

Zhang Pu shook his head, this kind of life was naturally not what he wanted.

"Since this kind of life department is what you want, then why are you still like this, you haven't thought about adapting it?" Xu Jiahui said, "For example, ask a friend to sing K, or simply go on a trip or something?"

"I'm working hard for the life I want now!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Life is helpless, it's not like what you want to live." As for what you said about ordinary singing K, traveling, I haven't thought about it. The problem is that I don't really have many friends, and they're all busy. ”

Zhang Pu's words were a bit perfunctory.

The reason why he is like this is actually a sense of urgency of time.

As a "porter", there are so many things that he can move, and he needs to race against time.

Perhaps, he felt that if he moved less, it would be a waste.

In that case, it would be a shame.

"And what kind of life do you want?" asked Xu Jiahui.

She apparently agreed with Zhang Pu's answer.

Not everyone is born with nothing like her. If you want something, you don't need to work hard yourself, your parents can give it.

As for Zhang Pu's friends, she also knows something, and it seems that there are really no two.

"Sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money until your hands cramp!" Zhang Pu smiled and said, "Does this count?"

"Get out!"

When Xu Jiahui heard this, she said angrily.

Zhang Pu's answer was clearly a joke and perfunctory.

In these years, no matter how rich people are, they will not count their hand cramps.

It's just a number, can you still cash in, one by one?

"You can take out the money in your card now, and you don't need a piece of five denominations, just a hundred denominations. If your hand can't count the cramps, count me out. Xu Jiahui said, "Isn't it up to you when you go to work, and if you want to sleep until you wake up naturally, isn't it okay? ”

"It's just a joke, you take it seriously!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "At different times, the pursuit of nature is different." ”

"When I was a kid, did you know what I wanted my life to be like? living in a brick house and having meat to eat every day. Zhang Pu smiled and said, "When I was in college, my family didn't make up enough tuition fees for smashing pots and selling iron, so my uncle came forward to find people in the village to make it together." I thought at the time, I must be a rich man in the future. ”

"When a goal is reached, a new goal will emerge. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "People are not satisfied with the status quo. ”

"What about your goal now?" asked Xu Jiahui.

Living in a brick house, there is meat to eat every day!

This seemingly random sentence touched a sensitive nerve of Xu Jiahui.

At this time, Xu Jiahui remembered that Zhang Pu was born in the countryside and had a poor family.

Indeed, as he said, the life you want is different at different times. If Zhang Pu is content with the status quo, I am afraid there will be no Zhang Pu today.

"Wherever you have a goal, just look up and move forward. Zhang Pu shook his head, then smiled and asked, "What about you, what kind of life do you want?"

"Me?" Xu Jiahui thought about it, shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about it either." Life now seems to be pretty good. ”

If you have a boyfriend who you like and like, it's perfect.

Xu Jiahui didn't say the latter words. Zhang Pu wouldn't have guessed there.

The two chatted without a word.

Maybe Zhang Pu didn't even notice that they were talking about a wider range of topics.

At the beginning, Zhang Pu and Xu Jiahui's chats basically revolved around music, just like chatting with Xiao Xue, all around movies.

The theme song of "Farewell My Concubine" is solved, and the soundtrack is basically completed.

The preliminary preparations for "A Chinese Ghost Story" were also very smooth, and Zhang Pu was relatively leisurely.

At the launch conference of "Snow Leopard", he also took the time to participate.

There is no doubt that he has become the focus of the press conference, whether it is director Gao Wang, or the male number one Chu Rong, they have all become Zhang Pu's foil.

However, this TV series has been followed by countless TV stations because of this.

Zhang Pu and Gao Wang's second collaboration, and it is also an anti-Japanese film.

Although the popularity of "Bright Sword" has faded, its influence is long-lasting.

Even if "Snow Leopard" can't reach the height of "Bright Sword", as long as it is half, it will be enough.

This TV series has just started filming, and many TV stations have already expressed their purchase intentions.

At the end of March, before the Golden Dragon Award ceremony, the post-production of "Farewell My Concubine" was completely completed.

After watching the finished film, Zhang Pu's confidence has increased a lot.

Classic presentation!

Zhang Pu has to admit that there is still a huge gap between himself and those top directors.

Perhaps, even if I have the original version as a reference, I am afraid that the things that will be filmed are far inferior to Jiang Yun's version.

"How about writing me a script?" Zhang Ke patted Zhang Pu on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhang Ke, obviously not joking.

"No problem. Zhang Pu nodded and said, "What type of script does Director Zhang want?"

Zhang Pu is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and Zhang Ke has been of great help to him.

When Zhang Ke heard this, he was stunned.

Is this ready to be tailor-made?

"I don't pick types. Zhang Ke then smiled and said.

As long as it's a good script, the genre naturally doesn't matter.

"Okay!"

Zhang Pu nodded, but his mind kept thinking.

Don't pick the genre, you can pick the script.

Zhang Ke is now a top director in China, and no matter what he films, he has attracted much attention.

Small-budget films, that's a waste.

However, if the cost is too great, Oriental DreamWorks is estimated to become a foil.

Oriental DreamWorks dominates, and it is estimated that there is some suspense.

But one of the leading ones, but it is necessary, and it should not be difficult.

History, sci-fi, action, comedy, ......

Zhang Ke has a lot of box office appeal in the world, and if it is only aimed at the domestic box office, it will be a waste.

Or a Hollywood movie adaptation?

Sci-fi movies seem to be a bit suspenseful!

Zhang Ke is not good at special effects, at least in many of his films, there are no special effects.

Moreover, once it comes to special effects, and it is also aimed at the international market, the investment may not be small.

Suddenly, a film by Zhang Pu appeared in Zhang Pu's mind.

A martial arts film with amazing box office and awards: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

The investment in this film is not very large, and it has the name of "martial arts", so I am afraid that there will not be many people who are optimistic.

It is an indisputable fact that kung fu films and martial arts films are not doing well at the box office.

Then that's it.

If Zhang Ke gets a few Oscar nominations like the original, and wins one or two little golden figures by the way, it will naturally be better.

"Is this film really that good?"

After everyone left, Xu Jiadong asked Zhang Pu.

It's good, he really can't see it, anyway, he doesn't like this film very much.

However, judging from the reactions of Han Shan and Zhang Ke, this film seems to be really good.

"Naturally!" Zhang Pu nodded, his tone affirmative.

This guy is probably just suitable for watching popcorn movies.

"Really?" Xu Jiadong shook his head and said, "The box office shouldn't be good, right?"

"This film is not going to the box office. Zhang Pu said.

"Farewell My Concubine" was rushing to Cannes at the beginning, and looking at Han Shan's appearance, it seems that he is ready to hit the Oscars.

Perhaps, there is still a chance to get back a best foreign language film.

"What about your cooperation with Director Zhang Ke?" Xu Jiadong asked, "You just promised to write a script for him." ”

That's probably what this guy cares about.

Zhang Ke is now the most box office appeal director in China.

If you make a literary film, it will be boring.

"What, do you mean to write him a script for a commercial blockbuster?" Zhang Pu said, "If the investment is too large, can Oriental DreamWorks eat it?"

"You cooperate with Zhang Ke, do you think we can eat alone?" Xu Jiadong said.

Zhang Pu's own new film, Oriental DreamWorks has to let other film and television companies participate, not to mention the film with Zhang Ke.

Oriental DreamWorks doesn't have the heritage to eat alone.

Zhang Ke did not sign with any film and television company, has his own studio, and has his own team.

But in recent years, which movie has not been invested and distributed by several investment companies?

"You say, if I write a script for a martial arts film for Zhang Ke, how many companies will be interested?" Zhang Pu said.

"Martial arts films?" Xu Jiadong looked at Zhang Pu and said, "Are you kidding?"

Xu Jiadong may not know so much about movies, but he still has some understanding of the film market.

Nine out of ten martial arts films are losing money, and Xu Ming, the director who is best at making martial arts, almost lost it.

After his "Dragon Gate Inn", there have been no martial arts films in theaters.

There are a lot of big online movies.

But do you want a director like Zhang Ke to make a low-budget martial arts film?

"Do you think I'm joking?" Mr. Zhang said, "and the film is mainly aimed at foreign markets." ”

"Martial arts films, foreign markets, the domestic market is almost gone, and the foreign market is still in the foreign market. Xu Jiadong looked at Zhang Pu and said, "You really dare to think about it." However, are you sure that Zhang Ke will ask you for this script?"

"Yes. Zhang Pu smiled, his tone was very confident.

"Forget it!" Xu Jiadong said, "I am a pure layman in the movie. You can do it!"

"What's going on with Jiang Xingwen?" Zhang Pu then asked.

Oriental DreamWorks really needs a leader who understands movies and understands the film market.

"It's settled. Xu Jiadong smiled and said, "It is estimated that after the Golden Dragon Award, you will be able to come to the company." ”

"Then why don't you call him with you today?" Zhang Pu said.

"Before leaving Orange Entertainment, there was a lot going on. Xu Jiadong said.

He did shout, but the other party couldn't pull away.

Jiang Xingwen took over Oriental DreamWorks, and his first job is probably "Farewell My Concubine".

Within two days, the Golden Dragon Award ceremony arrived.

Although Zhang Pu was not shortlisted for Best Director, the box office of "Nobody" was too dazzling, and he was also shortlisted for several heavy awards.

And both of his films were nominated for Best Picture.

If you want to say which filmmaker has attracted the most attention this year, it is undoubtedly Zhang Pu.

Even if he was only shortlisted for Best Screenplay personally.

"Director Zhang, both films are nominated, how do you feel?"

The host asked Zhang Pu.

"It's a pleasure and an honor. Zhang Pu looked at the camera and said with a smile.

The Golden Dragon Awards ceremony will be broadcast live on the movie channel.

This is naturally the case.

"Are you confident of going back with a few awards?" the host then asked.

"Not a single one!" Zhang Pu replied very dryly.

"Oh!"

The host was stunned, and Long Xiaoyun next to Zhang Pu was also stunned.

Director Zhang, don't you have confidence in yourself, and don't you have confidence in us?

"Director Zhang is really modest. The host said with a smile.

"Be mentally prepared first, and you won't be depressed if you don't win the award. If you win a prize, it's a surprise. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I haven't learned about the other shortlisted films. If you don't count it in your heart, you naturally can't talk about any confidence or disconfidence. ”

What are the competitors, Zhang Pu naturally understands.

But he really hasn't seen those films, how good or bad they are, there is no comparison.

However, the call for "Nobody" to be shortlisted for the award is indeed not very high.

"Director Zhang, are you really not optimistic about our film?"

Entering the venue, Long Xiaoyun said in a low voice.

"You three get a chance. Best Screenplay and Best Picture, it is estimated that there is no drama. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.

Whether it's Best Screenplay or Best Picture, it seems that the original version didn't win an award.

The actor also seems to have only won some lesser-known awards. However, this proves that this character has the potential to win awards, and Long Xiaoyun's performance is extremely amazing, they can be called the actor and actress, and they also have a chance to win the award.

And as a result, as Zhang Pu himself guessed, he returned empty-handed.

"Rhubarb the Loyal Dog" and "The Nameless" both failed to win Best Picture.

Zhang Pu also failed to win Best Screenplay.

Guo Ji also failed to become the emperor with the role of Ma Xianyong.

However, "Nobody" is not without results. After Long Xiaoyun was sealed again with the role of Ma Jiaqi, Huang Ye won the Best Supporting Actor Award for the role of the big head, officially opening his road to counterattack.
