Chapter 304: Looking for Allies
The premiere of the film will begin at 6 o'clock, from 6:00 to 7:30 for the guest media, and from 8:00 a.m., the film will be shown for the first time. The venue is Honghuang Cinema, one of Tianjin's famous cinemas, not far from the headquarters of Wuxing Film and Television.
When his uncle's driver Shunzi drove Ye Zheng to the Wuxing Film and Television Headquarters, he was greeted by Liu Jianhui, the manager of the Wuxing Film and Television Department, and to Ye Zheng's surprise, the film's director Hong Guang also came down to greet him. Hong Guang is a new big-name director in the Chinese director industry, and has won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director and the Golden Horse Award for Best Director nomination in the three major Chinese film awards. This time, after Wuxing Film and Television Company confirmed Ye Zheng's script, after thinking about it, it invited Hong Guang to be the director.
"Haha, I'm so young!" Liu Jianhui strode over to Ye Zheng and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ye Zheng: "Hello Mr. Ye, I'm Liu Jianhui." "Hello Manager Liu. Ye Zheng shook hands with him. Hong Guang also smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Hong Guang." ”
"Director Hong is good. Ye Zheng smiled and shook hands with him. "Mr. Ye, do you say I call you Screenwriter Ye, or Dong Ye?" asked Liu Jianhui with a smile. Ye Zheng knew that they would definitely check their identity before inviting him, and the chairman of Time and Space Music could easily find out. Moreover, the music industry and the film and television industry are all connected, and the turmoil caused by Ye Zheng in the music industry has long been introduced to the film and television industry. It's just that Wuxing Film and Television didn't expect that Ye Zheng was the Ye Zheng who sold them the script.
"I just found out about Ye Dong's identity a few days ago, but I was really shocked!" Liu Jianhui said about this matter, and there was still a look of shock in his eyes that could not be concealed: "In the past nearly a year, Ye Dong's achievements in music are beyond the reach of today's young generation of musicians, even many older generation musicians can't compare." In the past few months, Ye Dong's name has really been thunderous. But I never thought you were the same person!"
His expression was quite exaggerated: "I said why I wanted to invite you to come here to follow the shooting, but you refused." Now I understand that Ye Dong is a very busy man! It is amazing to achieve such an achievement at such a young age! Amazing! Especially since he has such a high talent not only in the music industry, but also in screenwriting! The news that Ye Dong is the screenwriter of this movie has not yet been announced, but I believe that after today's premiere, Ye Dong may be stunned by a group of people again!"
Manager Liu smiled. Ye Zheng said with a smile. "I don't think people will be very surprised. Hong Guang said: "Mr. Ye has brought too much shock to everyone during this time, I think, even after the news that Mr. Ye is the screenwriter of this movie spreads, everyone will say, oh, okay, this kid has done another thing that we can't think of, but that's all." I think Mr. Ye will continue to bring new amazing things to everyone in the future, if you have to be stunned every time, everyone will become a stupid goose. ”
"Haha......" Ye Zheng and Liu Jianhui both laughed out loud. Very pleasant first meeting. Ye Zheng himself is a very easy-going person, and he is young, even if he is a little immature in some places, no one generally compares him. And Liu Jianhui and Hong Guang admired Ye Zheng's talent and strength very much. "After seeing the script, I once called Mr. Ye, do you remember Mr. Ye?" asked Hong Guang.
"Remember, I'm sorry. Ye Zheng smiled. At that time, after Hong Guang saw the script, he was amazed by Ye Zheng's shooting techniques marked on the script, so he wanted to invite Ye Zheng to participate in the filming together, but Ye Zheng refused him politely, and said: "If you encounter any problems in your shooting methods, just shoot according to what I wrote, I wrote it very clearly, so there is no need to go." Hong Guang laughed: "To be honest, I didn't like you at the time, I thought you were too arrogant." But after Manager Liu told me your information, I understood that Ye Dong really didn't have time. Speaking of which, it is normal for a young talent like Mr. Ye to be a little arrogant...... However, the most admirable thing is that you don't have the slightest arrogance. In other words, your arrogance is in your heart, not on the surface. ”
It seems that Hong Guang is a cheerful person, Ye Zheng likes people with this kind of character, and said with a smile: "Director Hong, if you always praise me like this, I will really be proud." When you call me again, I'll have to ask you to make ten calls before I answer. Then refuse ten times and promise you again!" "Haha......" Liu Jianhui and Hong Guang laughed, but Liu Jianhui quickly realized the deeper meaning of Ye Zheng's words, stopped his steps moving forward, looked at Ye Zheng and asked, "What does Ye Dong mean by this...... There's a new script you can work with us?"
"If you can get into your eyes. Ye Zheng said. Liu Jianhui was surprised: "Ye Dong still has a script? When can you give us Wuxing Film and Television to see? If we can, we will definitely give a price that Ye Dong is satisfied with!" Regarding this matter, Liu Jianhui was surprised by Ye Zheng's creative speed, you must know that he has produced nearly 200 songs in this year, which has fallen through the eyes of countless people. Liu Jianhui was quite surprised that Ye Zheng could still create "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" under this circumstance, and now Ye Zheng said that he could also come up with a script!
Since Ye Zheng dares to take it out, it won't be bad. Before I saw the script, not to mention the quality, even this speed was incredible. Where did he get so much creative thinking? This idea was born in the minds of Liu Jianhui and Hong Guang at the same time. "I've brought the script. Ye Zheng smiled: "I can show you now." He turned back to Shunzi who followed him and said, "Brother Shunzi, bring that script to Manager Liu." ”
Ye Zheng didn't have a secretary, so the driver Shunzi temporarily acted as his secretary. Others bring a delicate or hot beautiful secretary on a business trip, or a male secretary who has a temperament and can do things, but Ye Zheng brings a burly and strong-looking Shunzi. Junko alone played the three roles of driver, secretary, and bodyguard. Junzi took out a pile of printed paper from her bag and handed it to Liu Jianhui. "Do Not Disturb If You Are Honest". This is part of the script of this movie, and when Ye Zheng decided to come to meet them, he seized the time to make about a quarter of the script and brought it.
He did so with a purpose. Liu Jianhui and Hong Guang didn't expect Ye Zheng to come with the script, Hong Guang was very curious, but he still suppressed his curiosity and didn't come over. After Liu Jianhui flipped through a few pages of the script, the surprise in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and after a while, he closed the script quietly and said to Ye Zheng: "Ye Dong, please go to my office to talk about it." "Okay. Ye Zheng nodded. "Director Hong, I'm sorry, I'm not going to chat with you for the time being. Later, I will go with Ye Dong to meet you. Liu Jianhui apologized to Hong Guang.
"It's okay, I'll tell them. Hong Guang smiled, but there was unconcealed curiosity in his eyes, and the script that Ye Zheng took out shocked Liu Jianhui at once. Hong Guang was curious about what kind of script this was.
But he is not affiliated with Five Elements Film and Television, it is only a temporary cooperative relationship, not a person from Five Elements Film and Television, and there is no reason to watch it now. Unless Wuxing Film and Television invites him to be the director with the script. Ye Zheng and Liu Jianhui came to Liu Jianhui's office together, and Shunzi was waiting outside. The two sat down, and Liu Jianhui said: "Ye Dong came with the script, presumably he has some ideas, let's talk about it." ”
At this time, Liu Jianhui underwent subtle changes and became a serious businessman. "It's a comedy, and I promise it's a good comedy movie. Ye Zheng said: "Nowadays, comedy movies are sluggish, and excellent comedy movies are low-yielding. Manager Liu should be very aware of how high the box office and other benefits an excellent comedy movie will bring. Liu Jianhui was still flipping through the script in his hand, and when he heard Ye Zheng's words, he smiled: "As far as the previous content is concerned, it is indeed good." But I don't know the plot behind it, so I can't comment on the overall quality of this script. Ye Dong might as well tell me what you have to ask for first. I think what Ye Dong wants now shouldn't be as simple as selling scripts, right?"
"Of course it's not a direct sale. Ye Zheng said: "You can rest assured of the overall quality of this script, I have completed it all, but I only brought these today." What I want is that Wuxing Film and Television can reach some cooperation agreements with Time and Space Music and share some product promotion and sales channels. At the same time, we will cooperate in as many areas as possible and become allies who help each other. This is Ye Zheng's purpose, now, time and space music has been established for a short time, although it has developed rapidly, but no entertainment company has reached a cooperative relationship with time and space music. The product promotion and sales channels of Time and Space Music were all developed by themselves, and they paid a lot of costs and encountered some obstacles. But if they can use the help of some old companies, it will be much easier.
Especially nowadays, some music companies have become hostile to space-time music, and even secretly obstruct the development of space-time music. Although Ye Zheng is confident that Time Music will become a music empire, they can't afford too many obstacles now, and Time Music needs to seek some allies and find commercial cooperation and support. Seek, not seek. Ye Zheng came this time to test the attitude of Five Elements Film and Television. Ye Dong's words were too general. Liu Jianhui said: "And becoming an ally is not as simple as a script." ”
He understood what Ye Zheng meant, and he probably knew the situation of time and space music. But business cooperation is not simply about helping others, they first consider the benefits they can obtain. And Liu Jianhui doesn't think that the time and space concert will bring enough benefits to Five Elements Film and Television. Ye Zheng smiled: "Believe it or not, this script can definitely bring you more than 500 million box office." And, since I've made this proposal, I'll be able to impress you enough. Manager Liu thinks that our space-time music is just an object that needs help? The alliance relationship with us will definitely be of great benefit to the future Five Elements Film and Television. As Manager Liu said, it is not as simple as a script. is by no means as simple as a script that can create a box office of 500 million. It's not just about the script. ”
Ye Zheng smiled and said these words slowly. A strong self-confidence was born in him. At this moment, Liu Jianhui also suddenly discovered that Ye Zheng was no longer just a genius boy. He has always called Ye Zheng "Ye Dong". But only at this time did Ye Zheng really treat him as a chairman. "Ye Dong is very confident. Liu Jianhui said: "But such a big matter is not something I can call the shots, and I need to report to the president of the group for a decision...... Personally, I'm looking forward to reaching a series of cooperation agreements with Time Music. As for this script......"
"Even if we can't reach a cooperation agreement, we can talk about this script separately. Ye Zheng said with a smile: "I am confident that I can also take other things to impress other companies, please Manager Liu must convey a word to your president for me." If he had chosen to work with Spacetime Music, it would have been one of the most rewarding decisions he had ever made. The conversation lasted only ten minutes, and Liu Jianhui instructed the secretary to contact the president and make an appointment for a time to discuss the matter. Then he took Ye Zheng to a larger living room.
All the guests who came to attend the premiere of the film today have arrived, director Hong Guang, actor Li Muchen and Lu Yunhong, who just won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress. In addition, there were also three singers invited by Five Elements Film and Television to be guest performers. To Ye Zheng's great surprise, one of them turned out to be Song Qian from Baina. Song Qian has been doing quite well recently. Since "The First Dream", she has jumped from a newcomer who has just debuted to a well-known second-tier singer. Several successful concerts have been held, several entertainment programs have been participated, and a new album is in the pipeline. She has become one of the objects of Baina's heavy investment.
This time, Wuxing Film and Television asked Baina for a singer to be a guest, and Baina sent Song Qian. Song Qian is quite complacent, this feeling of being a real singer only existed in her imagination a year ago. So, during this time, her pride swelled a little again. Some old problems have been made again, and I often can't get along with some staff in the company and find trouble with others.
Coming here today, of course Song Qian won't trouble anyone. It's just that she's been doing one thing since she came here, talking about it. Talk about music, talk about performances, talk about making shows...... Her favorite thing to hear is that you are famous at such a young age, and you will definitely become a popular singer in the future.
