Chapter 322: A Long Way to Go
January 25th.
In order to celebrate the box office of "Crazy Stone" exceeding 10 million, the main creators of the film specially held a celebration banquet at the Shangri-La Hotel in the magic capital.
This time, Han Sanping, chairman of China Film Group, and Luo Jianyuan, director of the distribution department, were present in person, in addition, a mysterious figure from Hong Kong also came to the scene.
Needless to say, Han Sanping, even if Lin Xiaoguang hadn't seen it before, he was already famous, and Luo Jianyuan was in contact for the first time, as for the appearance of another mysterious filmmaker from Hong Kong, Lin Xiaoguang didn't know it at first.
After greeting the two bigwigs, Han Sanping and Luo Jianyuan, Xu Zheng walked over, led Lin Xiaoguang aside, and whispered: "Xiaoguang, I'll introduce Wen Dong to you later!"
"Wen Dong?"
"Which Wen Dong?" Lin Xiaoguang looked at Xu Zheng blankly.
"Over there, the dwarf winter melon standing in the corner, do you see it? Just the shortest one, let's hurry over! Whether our film can be released in Hong Kong depends on him. After Xu Zheng finished speaking, he led Lin Xiaoguang over.
"Wen Dong, this is Lin Xiaoguang, the producer of our movie!" Ning Hao introduced Wen Dong.
"Hello Wen Dong, look up for a long time!" Lin Xiaoguang smiled slightly, lowered his head, and greeted the middle-aged man in front of him who was two heads shorter than himself.
In other words, this mysterious Wen Dong, like Han Sanping and Luo Jianyuan, is the top existence in the entertainment industry, and it is not easy for Lin Xiaoguang to see others in his previous life, let alone be able to talk.
The existence that was unattainable in the past can now talk to them calmly.
Although it is far from a level, it is also a huge improvement for Lin Xiaoguang.
When Wen Dong heard this, he raised his head, glanced at Lin Xiaoguang, and then smiled and stretched out his hand, speaking in broken Mandarin: "You are the young man who played Yang Guo, well, yes, you can act, you know how to invest, and you have a future!"
Seeing that the other party knew him, Lin Xiaoguang was surprised: "Dong Wen, have you also seen my performance of "The Condor Heroes"?"
Wen Dong nodded and said: "I've watched some, your drama was broadcast on our Hong Kong Jade Channel this year, and the ratings are very high, and the audience over there also likes you very much, so you must come to Hong Kong to play when you have time." ”
Lin Xiaoguang hurriedly said: "It must be, I will depend on your care when the time comes." ”
After chatting with Wen Dong for a few words, before the celebration banquet began, Lin Xiaoguang pulled Xu Zheng aside and asked puzzledly: "Brother Zheng, what is the origin of that Wen Dong?
Xu Zheng pretended to be profound, and deliberately coughed twice, which was regarded as clearing his throat, before he said: "Xiaoguang, this is a long story, and the story has to start from 1990......"
Lin Xiaoguang said angrily: "Stop, don't go around in circles with me, how old were you in 1990, can you talk about the point?"
"Good, good. Xu Zheng saw that he couldn't resist him, so he changed his way and replied with a question: "Have you seen Stephen Chow's "Secret Detective Zero"?"
Lin Xiaoguang said: "I've seen it, Wen Dong invested?"
"No, he has a show in it. ”
"Who is playing?" Lin Xiaoguang became more and more confused the more he listened.
"Lu Xiaofeng in the Four Ugly Immortals, the stage name of Lu Xiaofeng's eldest brother is Wen Jun, Wen Jun is the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, that is, the Wen Dong who was introduced to you just now. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be him......" Lin Xiaoguang finally remembered.
"What happened to Wen Dong in 1990?"
Xu Zheng was not happy, and said, "Didn't you want to hear it just now?"
Lin Xiaoguang immediately put on a respectful face and said, "I want to hear it, Brother Zheng, it's my fault, you don't remember the villain." ”
Xu Zheng quipped: "Yo he, it's quite rhyming to speak, okay, for the sake of your sincerity, I'll tell you about it." ”
In 1990, the 33-year-old Wen Dong ran a publishing house in Hong Kong, and he often wrote salty and wet paragraphs, and he was still a reader at heart. At that time, his friend Shu Qi did an overseas release for "The Red Lantern Hangs High", he was shocked when he saw the sample, and said that he wanted to give Gong Li a photo album, rubbed Shu Qi's ticket to visit the class, and flew to the Qiaojia compound in Shanxi to chat with Zhang Yimou......"
In the second year, Wen Dong brought Wan Ziliang over to find Jiang Wen and Gu Changwei to shoot from Shenzhen to Inner Mongolia together. started a journey of more than 20 years of filming in the north. ”
Under Lin Xiaoguang's questioning, Xu Zheng said a lot about Wen Jun's past, and only then did he know that Wen Jun has always been inextricably linked with the mainland film industry.
Especially in 1993, Jiang Wen's girlfriend at the time, Liu Xiaoqing, went to Hong Kong and called Wen Jun to say that he would meet and chat.
Liu Xiaoqing asked Wen Jun to help raise $1 million to shoot "Sunny Day" for Jiang Wen, and Wen Jun flew to the capital immediately after raising it.
However, at that time, Jiang Wen's film was halfway through the filming to catch up with the property market diving, Wen Jun's money was cut off, and the person disappeared.
The rest of the money in the crew was used to shoot a telegram for Wen Jun, and someone in the middle squeezed Jiang Wen to shoot "About Winter", Jiang Wen was really anxious.
Half a year after the trick of credit was completed, some people said that they had found Wen Jun, and later learned that he had endured the humiliation and returned to Hong Kong to make a third-level film to make money......
Lin Xiaoguang was skeptical when he heard this, but he still looked at Xu Zheng with an amazed expression: "Brother Zheng, I'm curious, how do you know about you?"
Xu Zheng said faintly: "Learn a little, mix in the entertainment industry, don't you do some homework?"
"Who told you?"
Xu Zheng twisted his head and said arrogantly: "Don't tell you, guess it yourself!"
"Is it Liu Yiwei?" Lin Xiaoguang knew that Xu Zheng and Liu Yiwei had a very good relationship, and he also knew that Liu Yiwei knew a lot.
Liu Yiwei is the cook who stir-fries on CCAV TV, and he has a special relationship with Xu Zheng in private......
The celebration party started immediately, but there were not many people present, except for Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng, Guo Tao and Wang Bo and other crew members, and Handan Sanping, there was only a group of reporters left.
Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and Lin Xiaoguang took the stage with a microphone.
Facing the reporters in the audience, Ning Hao felt a sense of relief, and this time he finally had an explanation.
"Thank you very much for coming to the celebration of the box office of "Crazy Stone" exceeding 10 million, the movie has been released for ten days, it is not easy to achieve this result, I have experienced a lot in the middle, on behalf of the crew, I thank you for your support!"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Accompanied by everyone's applause, a reporter asked: "Director Ning, when you chose to make this movie, did you ever think that your movie, which has an investment of only three or four hundred, can get 10 million box office in ten days after its release?"
Ning Hao thought for a while and said calmly: "Actually, my goal at that time was to finish the movie smoothly, but I didn't expect to give me such a big surprise now!"
"Director Ning, how did you say that Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng, two big-name actors, joined and invested in your movie?"
Ning Hao paused and quipped, "They all asked for it themselves! I didn't invite them." ”
As soon as Ning Hao finished speaking, the audience immediately laughed, and Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng also showed embarrassed but polite smiles.
"Then Xiaoguang, what attracted you to it in the first place?"
"The script was recommended to me by Brother Zheng, and he said that there was a very good movie script that needed investment, and the director was a very talented young man, so I came!" Lin Xiaoguang said calmly.
"Didn't you have any doubts in your heart at the time?" the reporter asked.
Lin Xiaoguang glanced at Xu Zheng and said truthfully: "No, I have been filming TV series for so many years, I have always wanted to make movies, I am like-minded with Brother Zheng, this time, I also joined the crew with a learning attitude!"
