(Ask for subscription, 5,000 starting coins reward plus a more chapter!)
Until the end, Zhao Fusheng did not reveal to Bai Jie who he contacted Zhou Xingxing through.
The main thing is that things have not been finalized yet, and it doesn't make sense to say it so early.
Let Zhang Qian send himself home first, and then send Bai Jie to the company, Zhao Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief after entering the door.
In fact, from the beginning to the end of today, he was still worried about what to do if the lion on the art side opened his mouth or regretted it on the verge of battle.
But fortunately, it seems that he has spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the other party has no intention of repenting.
In this way, there are skilled people in TV dramas, so there is no need to worry about it at all. Whether it is the behind-the-scenes personnel or the director himself, Renyi itself has its own faction, and its influence may not be as good as those stars who often appear in entertainment news, but in terms of strength, it is definitely equal, or even surpassed.
As for the movie, it depends on Zhang Guorong's face, on Zhou Xingxing's side, it doesn't work.
Facts have proved that Leslie Cheung is Leslie Cheung, even if Zhou Xingxing, a well-known recluse element in the entertainment industry, still wants to give him face.
In the afternoon, Zhao Fusheng was reading the newspaper at home, but received a strange call.
"Hello, is it Zhao Fusheng?" The person on the other side of the phone said a mouthful of Hong Kong, and he should not be proficient in hearing it.
Zhao Fusheng was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Hello, I am Zhao Fusheng." ”
In fact, at that moment, he had already made out who was talking to the other side.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Xingxing. ”
The voice of the person on the other side was not fast, as if every sentence had to be struggling to find its own tone.
"Ah, hello, Mr. Zhou. ”
Zhao Fusheng is quite polite, after all, he is not familiar with the other party, so it is naturally impossible to reveal the mentality of fans, otherwise there will be no way to continue to talk about the business in the future.
"My brother has told me about it, you are his friend, you are my friend. Zhou Xingxing's speed of speech gradually increased, and it was obvious that Zhang Guorong should have said something to him.
"My brother is polite, I just did him a few small favors. Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.
Since Zhang Guorong described himself as his good friend, Zhao Fusheng naturally would not be polite, anyway, now as long as Zhou Xingxing can agree to help him make a movie, Zhao Fusheng basically doesn't care about anything else.
"I heard my brother talk about the movie, and if you don't mind, I want to be able to read the script. Zhou Xingxing's attitude on the phone sounded quite polite, I didn't know, I thought this person was a very good person to get along with.
As everyone knows, on the set, this one is no different from a tyrant.
At the very least, in Zhao Fusheng's cognition, all the legendary news on the Internet, including the evaluation of insiders and Zhou Xingxing after contact, say that this person is a typical example of half angel and half devil.
But it is undeniable that in the history of Chinese comedy and even the entire history of Chinese films, Zhou Xingxing is a monument destined to be insurmountable.
Any comedian, no matter how successful he is, will be compared to Zhou Xingxing, and finally have to admit that he is far from him.
Being in the same era as him is a blessing and a sadness.
Fortunately, it can witness the birth of countless classics, and sadly, it is destined to be overshadowed by the light of this guy.
And now, Zhao Fusheng is about to witness the birth of a miracle again, and he suddenly feels that he has a feeling of excitement about creating a legend.
"It doesn't matter, if the script is played, our company will send someone to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible and send it to you. Zhao Fusheng said with a smile: "Of course, if you are in a hurry, we can send it directly to your company's mailbox." ”
This is naturally the words in the words.
You must know that the future film and television side contacted Zhou Xingxing several times before, but all of them were closed, although Zhao Fusheng said that he was not angry, but he was also looking forward to what Zhou Xingxing's reaction was when he saw this scene.
However, to his surprise, Zhou Xingxing didn't seem to feel much about his words, and continued: "Since this is the case, if you don't mind, can you ask the screenwriter to come over in person, I heard from my brother that your company plans to make me a director, isn't it?"
Zhao Fusheng frowned: "Zhou Sheng is right, you are indeed required to be the director yourself, but what does this have to do with the screenwriter?"
"That's right, when I shoot, I need to communicate with the screenwriter, after all, the script is created by the screenwriter, and the specific shooting is mine, and the two of us, as the people who know the most about the whole play, need to have a good chat. Zhou Xingxing patiently explained to Zhao Fusheng, without the slightest indifference as rumored.
But the more he is like this, the more certain Zhao Fusheng becomes, this person is really as rumored, when it comes to acting, he is a pure actor.
But away from the set, he was a shrewd businessman again.
Obviously, people let the screenwriter and the investor go to Hong Kong Island at the same time, making it clear that they want to negotiate the distribution of benefits.
The more he is like this, the more Zhao Fusheng is willing to cooperate with him, after all, it is better to talk about people who put their interests on the surface than to stumble in secret.
After making an appointment, Zhao Fusheng put down the phone and showed a satisfied smile.
didn't turn off the phone, Zhao Fusheng simply dialed Bai Jie's number.
"What's wrong, is there something?" Bai Jie was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that if Zhao Fusheng didn't explain anything clearly, he should have said it in the car just now, why did he suddenly call again.
"Zhou Xingxing has contacted me, and in a few days you will personally lead the team and go to Hong Kong Island with me. Zhao Fusheng said calmly.
"What?"
Bai Jie sat in the office, and suddenly her voice rose by more than a dozen decibels, and she stood up suddenly: "You say it again?"
"I said, Zhou Xingxing's side has already been contacted, and you will bring the script and the company's team back, and let's go over and talk about cooperation together. Zhao Fusheng said lightly: "Remember, we can give him the position of director, the actor can also let him choose, and he can also take the box office share, but there is one point, I want to ensure the quality of this play, if the box office does not reach more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, he will not get a penny!"
HK$50 million!
Bai Jie never expected that Zhao Fusheng would have such a big appetite.
You must know that if it is 50 million Hong Kong dollars, if you look at last year's box office results, it is basically equivalent to the champion of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.
Of course, this is the result of not counting Hollywood blockbusters.
But even so, Zhao Fusheng's goal, in Bai Jie's view, even if the director and actor are Zhou Xingxing, this is inevitably a little
It's crazy.
"Floating life, 50 million Hong Kong dollars, isn't it a bit much. After hesitating for a moment, Bai Jie felt that he should still remind Zhao Fusheng, lest he have a disagreement with Zhou Xingxing at that time.
After all, he is now the first person in comedy films across the Taiwan Strait and three places in China, if he is really forced to be anxious, let go, refuse to cooperate, where will film and television find another comedy master in the future.
Zhao Fusheng laughed: "What, you don't have confidence in me, or don't have confidence in Zhou Xingxing? You have also read the script, you know what the quality is, do you think that with Zhou Xingxing's acting skills and directorial level, if this drama can't win 50 million box office, what's the point of our investment?"
Sister Bai was silent, Zhao Fusheng's words seemed to be strong, but there was really some truth.
If he and Zhou Xingxing join forces and can't create a box office myth, then what's the point of everything that future film and television is doing now?
The best actor!
The best director!
Best Screenwriter!
Best script!
Naturally, it also needs the highest box office!
What's more, if there is no such stimulation of high box office, how can anyone be willing to follow the footsteps of future film and television.
Zhao Fusheng saw this truth very thoroughly, because he knew very well what kind of place the film and television industry was.

In the evening, Fan Baobao came home from work.
"I heard that you went to our courtyard today?" asked Fan Baobao to Zhao Fusheng.
Zhao Fusheng nodded: "I went over with Bai Jie to confirm the cooperation." ”
As he spoke, Zhao Fusheng talked about the specific situation again, and then said: "I may have to go to Hong Kong Island to run errands in a few days, do you want to buy something?"
Fan Baobao was stunned: "Go to Hong Kong Island?"
Obviously, she didn't expect that Zhao Fusheng and Renyi would go to Hong Kong Island when they had already negotiated cooperation.
Zhao Fusheng smiled: "Well, visit Zhou Xingxing and ask him to go out of the mountain to make a movie." ”
"Zhou Xingxing!"
Fan Baobao was stunned, and then the expression on his face was full of surprise, he looked at Zhao Fusheng, and said eagerly: "Can you ask me for a copy of his autograph?"
It's clear that this is another fan.
Zhao Fusheng laughed, nodded, and agreed.
After determining the relationship for so long, his feelings for Fan Baobao have not become accustomed to it because of the long time and the determination of the relationship, but with a deeper understanding of each other, he has become more immersed in it.
Of course, beauty is still beautiful, and it goes without saying that two people are naturally blended, each other is like another part of each other's body, and it is also a part of each other's life.
Sometimes, they forget about themselves by thinking only about each other.
Zhao Fusheng doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, it's not a wrong thing to love someone wholeheartedly, and even forget yourself for the sake of the other party.
That can only show that the love is deep and the love is true.
"Well, got it. Zhao Fusheng touched Fan Baobao's head lovingly, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light: "No matter what you want, I will give it to you." ”
"Cut, you want to be beautiful!"
Fan Baobao glared at Zhao Fusheng charmingly: "Don't eat your banana, I want to cultivate myself!"
Zhao Fusheng blinked, and suddenly felt that he needed to revive his husband.
