Chapter 120. military alliance
Hearing Ang Lee's words, some reporters who had not had time to interview instantly leaked a look of pity.
But everyone has said that reporters are not reluctant, otherwise Li An's card position is so big, and if he doesn't let you interview, he won't let you interview.
Hello Director Feng, you and Director Li, as the two highest-grossing directors in China, are now working together, does it mean that this film will set a new record for domestic films?
Director Feng said with a smile: I personally think so, but Director Li said that this year's box office champion will definitely be a "Jingwu Hero", so in the trust of Director Ang Lee, I plan to put this movie in next year's Chinese New Year file, to be honest, let me fight with Director Li at the box office, I really don't have a bottom in my heart.
At this time, a reporter asked: What do you mean by this sentence that you are afraid of Director Li? Have you recognized Director Li's title as the No. 1 director in the country?
Faced with such a difficult question, Director Feng still smiled and said: You have to ask Zhang Bufan about this sentence, I am not qualified to speak, Director Li is now in the golden age of a director, I ask myself if I can't fight Director Li now.
In the end, it is an old fritter, and he says that he is not as good as Ang Lee, but the reason is that Ang Li is young, and the reason why he is old, he can't remember sinners, and he doesn't lose face, which is really amazing.
The press conference ended in such a question and answer, and as soon as it ended, Director Feng came over and pulled Li An and said: Don't go!
Ang Lee said with a smile: I'm not leaving, I just want to find a place with few people to wait for you, see you're so busy, you two leading actors are good?
Director Feng said with a smile: We don't have any money to take the Jingwu heroes, of course we have to keep a hand, I told you that if you want to find an actor in the future, you will come to our company, who in the country doesn't know that our company has all kinds of men.
Li An nodded and said: But the heroine of your company looks a little worse.
Director Feng said embarrassedly: There are good ones, either they are too famous or they are not famous, and they have to be cultivated slowly, if you want to say that a beautiful actress must be Brother Pictures. All the well-known actresses in our mainland are in the Brother Theater, no way, Director Xie is the best at filming women.
Ang Lee asked suspiciously: You and Brother Pictures, one male is great, the other is female, why is this, why can't it be averaged!
Director Feng said mysteriously: It's not that I don't want to be average, but it's an example from An's past.
Don't you know, this type of beautiful man and woman is always making scandals together, today with this hype, tomorrow with that shopping again, plus the mixing of reporters, you can't calm down.
Ang Lee asked puzzled: Isn't that right? There are reporters who specially give you the door to stir up the heat, and it can also keep your star exposed, is this a good thing?
Director Feng said: What's the matter! It has destroyed the popularity that we have built up with great difficulty, you see that the original An's first brother Hu Tao was because he was too popular, and he made scandals fly, and was blocked by the Electrical Inspection Department, and An's hard work for several years was in vain, and the instructions given by the Electrical Inspection Department were. Artists or celebrities should focus on spreading positive energy, ordinary people watch you make scandals every day, how can China educate the next generation.
Li An nodded understandingly.
Director Feng looked around and said to Ang Lee in a low voice: If a star really cheats, it won't be on the news, I really don't understand how you came here, such a big director doesn't know the rules of the entertainment industry at all.
In a word, Ang Lee's face is red-faced, and his filming is like playing a stand-alone game, and he will never invite anyone if he can finish filming by himself.
Director Feng whispered to Ang Lee: Which actress will come to toast you in a while, and if you are in the picture, you will have a drink with others, and don't drink it if you don't have it.
Li An asked puzzled: What will happen if you drink it, and what if you don't drink it.
Director Feng patted Ang Lee on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are such a freshman director, do you still want me to say it?"
After drinking, you can go to see the sunrise together today, and if you don't drink, you can go back by yourself.
Li An asked mysteriously: Is it clean?
Director Feng said with an expression that he knew this for a long time: Absolutely! But one thing is that you must not have feelings, remember, you must listen to your brother at this point, otherwise you will regret it!
Li An nodded understandingly.
After Director Feng finished speaking, he took his wine glass and left, obviously looking for someone to drink.
Ang Lee understood, but Director Feng didn't say what would happen if two people came over to toast!
I saw that the two heroines who dominated the world came to Ang Lee in costumes together, one holding a wine glass, and the other holding a wine and saying to Ang Lee: Director Li, we are all your fans, let's have a drink with us!
The two Ang Lee were really a little excited, but men just have to know how to control themselves, otherwise there will be a big disaster.
Li An smiled and said: I'm sorry, two beauties, I can't drink, I'm allergic to alcohol, I'm sorry.
Hearing Ang Lee's refusal, the two of them gave Ang Lee a roll of the eyes, and the two of them can't come over together, you won't be a, right! Hmph, go back and spread the word that you are a in the circle. See what you do.
Seeing the two beauties leave like this, Li An felt a pity in his heart.
Keep saying to yourself, I'm the one who is going to get married, I'm the one who is going to get married.
After a while, several people came to toast, and Li Ang sent away under the pretext that he couldn't drink.
Seeing that almost all the actresses present had changed, Li An suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really not suitable for this kind of occasion!
After a while, Director Feng walked over with the heroine Li Yao this time and said: Director Li, you are so determined!
Hearing Director Feng's ridicule, Li An blushed and smiled.
Director Feng said: Let's go! The party is about to start.
Li An took Director Feng's car and the group to the outskirts of the capital, in a villa that covers a huge area.
Li An got out of the car and followed Director Feng in.
The party should have just begun, there were not many people coming, only some waiters were putting things up, the lights in the courtyard were very good-looking, colorful, all the people present were people from the entertainment industry, and they saw Director Feng and Ang Li coming over to greet the two of them.
After a while, a man who was about fifty or sixty years old, looked very strong, and walked towards Li An with a smile, he was Yan Peng, the chairman of Wantong Film and Television.
Yan Peng stretched out his hand to Ang Li and said with a smile: Director Li is here, I am sorry, I am sorry.
Li An stretched out his hand and shook Yan Peng and said: Take the liberty to come and disturb, I hope you don't be surprised.
After seeing that Ang Li was such a polite person, Yan Peng smiled even more happily, looked at Ang Li and said: Director Li is inconvenient to go in and talk, the people here have not yet arrived, and the actresses in our company know that you are going to come, you must pay more attention to makeup, isn't it.
Li An smiled and said: Thank you very much for your company's enthusiasm, let's go in and talk!
Yan Peng led Li An into a meeting room in the villa.
Uncle Ge looked at Director Feng who was standing outside and asked, "Old Feng, you invited the person, why don't you follow in."
Feng Daozi pouted and said: I will become a Taoist tea when I go in, how can I speak inside, it is better for me to look at beauties outside, you don't have to worry, Ang Li is very shrewd and will not suffer.
Yan Peng took Li An into a living room, where various photos were pasted on the wall, and there was a bookshelf in the corner, on which dozens of trophies were densely placed.
There is a plaque hanging directly above the bookshelf, which reads, "Let the storm come more violently", seeing this, Li An knew that this Yan Peng was a person with a heart.
Seeing Li An looking at the plaque, Yan Peng also knew that his plan had worked, Li An must be very satisfied, Yan Peng said with a smile: I personally like Director Li's words very much, every time I read it, I will feel that the suffering I have suffered is not a matter at all, and my chest will be ignited with a raging fighting spirit, as if I have returned to the age of 20. Director Li is talented.
Li An said with a smile: Mr. Yan praised it falsely, but it was just a momentary feeling, and he deserved such praise from you.
After Yan Peng sat down, he made a cup of tea for Ang Li and said: Director Li, you have become a leader in the Chinese film industry at a young age, and the future is really limitless?
Ang Lee said: If you want to say that the most indispensable thing in the film industry must be your Vantone Pictures?
The two of them praised each other for a while, and Yan Peng said: Actually, I invite you to come over today because I have something to ask for!
Li An said with a face that he had known for a long time: You said, everyone is a peer, there is nothing that cannot be said.
Yan Peng said with an embarrassed face: I want to form an offensive and defensive alliance with your Wanda Film and Television, what do you think?
Ang Lee thought for a while and said, "Can you elaborate on it?"
Yan Peng took a sip of tea and said: The so-called offensive and defensive alliance is as the name suggests, we form an alliance, and Wanda's movies can be released together with Wanda, which is equivalent to having half of the theaters, and the box office can be doubled invisibly.
Ang Lee thought for a while and said: But in this case, what if the two of us release a movie at the same time in the summer file.
Yan Peng said: This is easy to do! The quality of watching movies, your movies are big sellers, and my movies hit the streets, so both sides will release your movies and cut my movies, and vice versa, the biggest advantage of this is that the theater chain can maintain profits, and we don't have to lose money on movies and advertising to lose money on the theater chain.
Li An thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes, so can you add An's."
Yan Peng thought for a while and said: What is the situation of An's now!
Li An shook his head and said: I'll take the time to ask about this matter!
For example, actors, you can set the protagonist, give us some supporting roles, and advertising resources, for example, your headquarters is in Shanghai, and my headquarters is in Beijing, so we can work together to let half of the country see our advertisements.
Ang Lee thought about it, and this was indeed the case.
Just as Ang Lee was chatting with Yan Peng, Zhang Chao, the chairman of Brother Pictures, appeared at the door of the party with more than a dozen cars of the company, and Zhang Chao got out of the car and walked into the venue with more than 20 actresses from his company.
Director Feng, who was flirting with the actress, received a message from the doorman, and when he heard the doorman say that Zhang Chao came with a group of actresses, he smiled and said: This old fox, the news is really good!
