Chapter 114: The Board

When the car just turned to the front of the building, Feng Bicheng noticed that the old man's car was actually there.

parked the car, got out of the car, and took a special look at the car, which was a special gift from Yuan Ke, the boss of Jinghua Film, after the ratings of the drama exploded last year, a Maybach. Before this car, it was the old crown that the old man had been driving for nearly ten years.

Of course, in fact, it doesn't matter if the old man buys it himself, or if he buys it for him as a son, no matter how expensive the car is, he can definitely afford it! Just this top-of-the-line Maybach is less than 500,000 Chinese yuan.

Although the property of the father and son is not comparable to that of the big bosses, they are not short of money now.

The old man's studio has been affiliated with Jinghua Film in the past few years, and has produced four TV series, although it is not good to compare with the big dramas that dominate the screen at every turn on the side of Minghu Culture, but the old man has made a shot, and it is very stable, the ratings and topics of each drama are quite good, and the studio has a revenue share, and of course the money is also a lot to make.

On his side, Minghu Culture has never treated its own people badly, "Big Names" and "Crazy Stone", two consecutive movies have sold more than one billion, and the director's salary has increased with red envelopes and a little share, and the income has finally reached 20 or 30 million - you know, this is only two or three years of work.

Therefore, the two discussed and bought two villas next to each other in the same villa area.

Of course, although Feng Bicheng said that he talked about a little girlfriend who was seven or eight years younger than him last year, he has not received it at home yet, and he has no one else at home, so he usually comes to his parents to eat when he goes home.

When he entered the door, he called "Mom", and then followed the voice of the answer to look in the direction of the kitchen, and saw that his mother was in the kitchen, picking vegetables with the aunt he invited, Feng Bicheng asked casually: "Where is my dad?"

His mother had already dropped the food and stood up, and said, "Where's the study upstairs!" and walked out and asked, "Yesterday you said you wanted to go to the film and television city to visit the class, did you go?"

Feng Bicheng said "um" and said, "I went, I just came back!"

His mother asked again, "Did you see Xiaoqian?"

"Met, chatted for a while, and had a meal together over there. ”

Feng Ma had a smile on her face, "Okay!"

Feng Bicheng pointed upstairs and said, "I'll go to my dad!" and then he was about to go upstairs.

But after climbing a few steps up the stairs, he stopped again, turned back to his mother, and said, "Mom, get some delicious food in the evening, and I'll drink two cups with my father." ”

Mother Feng laughed even more when she heard this, "Well, it just so happens that your father is addicted to gluttony today, and he wants to eat the goose I roasted!"

Feng Bicheng smiled and walked up.

The old man was really in the study, looking at the information, a thick pile.

Feng Bicheng pushed the door in and said, "Dad, why don't you have a meeting today?"

Feng Yumin took a puff of the pipe on his mouth, and slowly exhaled smoke from his nostrils, and then put down the information, took the pipe in his hand, and said: "What is there to socialize, it has been decided a long time ago, and those people are just not giving up." ”

After a pause, he said with some disdain: "I don't want to think about it, such a big thing, so many people follow my studio to eat, they invite me to eat a delicious meal, drink two bottles of good wine, and beat my chest a little, I will throw away the good conditions of Minghu and run to them?"

While he was talking, Feng Bicheng had already sat down on the sofa, and felt that the room was a little choked, so he got up and opened the window, at this time Feng Yumin still added, "Besides, the friendship is there!"

Feng Bicheng nodded.

Li Qian was admitted to the Photography Department of Shuntian Film Academy in 96, and in the same year, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" began to prepare, and his father served as the chief director.

It's all 2005, count, it's been eight or nine years!

As early as when Li Qian was just a singer and music producer, as early as when Minghu Culture was not Minghu Culture, but was called Li Qian's studio, the relationship between the two was very good, at that time, Feng Yumin was the director of the TV Drama Production Center of Huaxia TV Station, and it was said that he had a higher status than Li Qian and a big scene, but every time Li Qian was mentioned, Feng Yumin was highly respected, calling him his "first New Year's friend".

came and went, the two have been together all these years, and their friendship naturally has nothing to say.

Because of this, in fact, I was quite annoyed by Li Qian in the early years - you are a big boy in your early twenties, not as old as me, and you have a relationship with my father's peers, what's the matter, why do you want me to call you uncle?

Of course, this sentiment is definitely long gone.

Now he is no longer the Feng Bicheng he was a few years ago.

Sitting down for a while, Feng Bicheng suddenly said: "Dad, there is a tea house on the top floor of our company, where is the exhaust and ventilation system, it is specially customized, even if many people smoke cigars together, it is not tasteful, I will ask where the company ordered the goods at the beginning, and give you a set of small ones in this study, right?"

Feng Yumin smiled and waved his hand, like Maitreya Buddha, and said, "No! In another half a month, I will go to your teahouse to smoke!"

Feng Bicheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed.

But no, in half a month, the contract signed by the studio and Jinghua Film will completely expire, the number of TV episodes, time, etc., all the conditions stipulated at the beginning have fully expired.

By the end of May, as soon as the contract with Minghu Culture is signed, in the next six years, Feng Yumin's studio will be attached to Minghu Culture, and Minghu Culture will also vacate an office area for Feng Yumin's studio in Minghu Building.

At this time, Feng Yumin looked a little complacent, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qian bragged, saying that his pipe making skills were taught by British art masters, and he also promised to make a bucket for me and Cao Zhan, which promised us more than a year, and when I moved to Minghu Mansion, I will go to collect debts!"

Feng Bicheng laughed when he heard this, and said, "How can he have the kung fu to make pipes recently! I went to the film and television city to visit the class today, and I am very busy." And I think he is under a lot of pressure, after all, the investment of 500 million, whether it is Minghu or himself, including our country, no one has ever played so much, and he still has to use new technology, before the movie comes out, I estimate that even he himself is not very accurate. This debt, you can delay and collect it again!"

Feng Yumin smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's also done!"

But after a pause, he said, "Actually, it's fine!"

As he spoke, he took a puff of his pipe, and with a leisurely look of memory on his face, he said, "There must be pressure." But your dad and I have known him for so many years, don't look at him young, do things steadily. If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't have played that big. Since he dares to do it, it means that in his heart, this matter is already ninety percent reliable!"

Feng Bicheng nodded, but he still couldn't help but say, "He does things safely, he is definitely safe." However, there are still risks. ”

Feng Yumin finally tasted that something was wrong, and couldn't help but look at his son seriously.

I didn't say it earlier, in the past year or two, my son has admired Li Qian very much, and his confidence in him is even much greater than his own - character or something, throw it away, just talk about ability, the two scripts before and after, let this kid admire Li Qian so much.

But today, he seems to be a little unusual, full of worries about Li Qian and the movie he is making?

And since entering the house today, his mood doesn't seem to be high?

After thinking about it, Feng Yumin got up and walked over, sat down on the sofa opposite him, and asked, "What's wrong with you today?

Feng Bicheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and laughed, "No, no." Dad, don't worry, I just look at the big stalls spread out in the film and television city now, watching his kind of 3D all-green screen shooting, I feel a little subconsciously worried, nothing else. ”

Feng Yumin nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, all-green screen shooting has long been not uncommon in Hollywood. It's just that we haven't kept up with this in China. But it's the trend!"

Feng Bicheng nodded and replied: "Mr. Li said that now domestic human resources, time resources, etc. are still cheap, so live shooting will be cheaper than green screen shooting, and the current big investment in China is relatively small, most of them are realistic themes, and it is easier to come out with real shots, so use green screen less." But if it continues to develop, in the future, special effects will become cheaper and cheaper, and live scenes will become more and more expensive, and more and more movies, and even TV series, will be shot with green screens. And the restriction of many subjects is that green screen is much cheaper than shooting on set! This is indeed a trend!"

Feng Yumin looked at him quietly for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly asked, "Since there is nothing in this regard, then why do you look like you are full of worries?

Feng Bicheng glanced up at his father and said: "A few days ago, I chatted with Lao Han, he mentioned it to me, Mr. Li meant that he might start to do a few studios in the company next, I didn't care about it at the time, anyway, I can do anything, and the company won't treat me badly, and I don't have any other ideas." But I went to visit the class today, and chatted with Mr. Li for a while at noon, and Mr. Li told me personally that he had already thought about it, and he was indeed going to do a studio next, and I was the first batch!"

Feng Yumin showed a look of understanding.

After a while, he said, "Isn't that a good thing? Why do you seem upset?"

Feng Bicheng thought for a while and said: "Mr. Li said that the first batch is me, with Lao Han and Lao Jin, our three directors, plus Bai Yujing and He Yingyu. Everyone else had to go to the back row. ”

Feng Yumin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was shocked and sat up straight.

"That's ...... Isn't that okay?"

Feng Bicheng scratched his head rarely, "I don't think it's very good! The company and him, if there are any ideas, I can't interfere, and I don't think about those, I just think that this first batch of five people will open a studio, plus your studio, six, the two of us will account for two, which is not very good." ”

Feng Yumin's heart was telephonic and asked: "Isn't Zhao He not qualified? Lu Lingxi also has two TV series, and the ratings are very high, and she is so popular as an actor...... and Zhou Baoshan...... Hey, what is Li Qian doing here? This bowl of water is not very peaceful......"

Feng Bicheng nodded and said, "So, I pushed it!"

He looked at his father and said, "I told him that I don't have any ambitions now, I just want to do things well, be a good person, make more good films, and repay him for the opportunities he gave me." As for whether the studio is studio or not, I don't care, you can consider me at the end!"

Hearing this, Feng Yumin nodded slowly, and the whole person leaned back on the sofa again.

He muttered, "It's good that you answer him like that!"

After a long time, Feng Bicheng didn't speak again, and Feng Yumin didn't speak, smoking a pipe, thinking about something back and forth in his mind. It wasn't until two or three minutes had passed that he sighed and finally spoke, "Zhao He is no problem. At most, it's another film, he is one of the first people to follow Li Qian, but Li Qian probably understands that he actually has a limit, and "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" is a bit old-fashioned, so he has to wait to see the situation of "Shaolin Temple". ”

"Lu Lingxi is also fine. This girl has deep skills, and what is powerful is that Li Qian first praised her as a popular movie star, and then let her be a director, this fame is not comparable to ordinary directors who shoot two blockbuster dramas. Therefore, her status in Li Qian's heart cannot be lowered. ”

"By the way, there is also Qin Jingjing. If this was left in another company, it would have been impossible to suppress it a long time ago, and the studio should have opened a long time ago, but it seems that Li Qian thinks that she is still a little short of the ability to carry the box office, so she has to continue to press it. Bai Yujing, on the contrary, she occupies the light of the old minister, she is the eldest sister of your Minghu group of actors, no one will say anything about this. It is...... Alas!"

Feng Bicheng smiled and said: "Everyone thinks that when Zhou Baoshan played a big name, he and Mr. Zou went over together, which was a not light board, although it didn't take much effort to fall, it was a bit thunder and rain, but the matter should be regarded as over." But no one expected that the real board was here!"

Feng Yumin nodded, "Among these actors in Minghu, the most popular one now is him Zhou Baoshan, and the one with the most box office appeal is also him Zhou Baoshan." But Bai Yujing and He Yingyu have studios, but he doesn't...... Li Qian's ...... By the way, have you inquired, how many years are left in Zhou Baoshan's contract with Minghu?"

Feng Bicheng replied: "It should be that after "Huang Feihong" became popular, the company signed a new contract with him, but it was only signed for four years, and it should expire next summer." ”

Feng Yumin narrowed his eyes when he heard this, thought for a long time, shook his head, and said, "It's a bit risky this time!"

Feng Bicheng nodded when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

Zhou Baoshan is now popular, and among all the Chinese actors, he is the most box office appealing superstar, and there is no one. Even, even Li Qian now, in the world, is not stronger than his appeal. On the contrary, Minghu Culture upgraded a group of directors and actors and opened studios, but there was no him.

If it is under normal circumstances, the contract is still very long, then of course it doesn't matter, at most, it means that he will press you for a year or two, but now, his contract has only one year left - that is to say, if Zhou Baoshan wants to change jobs and leave, Li Qian has opened the door to him!

At this time, Feng Yumin suddenly asked: "Didn't he talk about renewing the contract over there?"

Feng Bicheng shook his head and said, "Zhou Baoshan didn't take the initiative to mention it, and the company didn't mention it either. It's freezing here!"

All kinds of thoughts flashed in Feng Yumin's heart, and finally, he sighed and said, "It depends on how Zhou Baoshan chooses." If you choose the right one, Li Qian will continue to praise him. If you choose the wrong ...... Maybe even "The Matrix" may be replaced! Li Qian dares to do this, which proves that he is sure to bring a new person out at any time. But Zhou Baoshan wants to jump ship and leave at this time, and even lose "The Matrix" and "Once Upon a Time...... It's a bit unstable. ”

Feng Bicheng nodded, but said, "That's what I said." But I think...... Zhou Baoshan is still quite honest, although something happened, but I don't think he really has the intention of changing jobs, so it seems that he is forcing him to change jobs. Is this a bit too obvious?"

Feng Yumin laughed slowly, shook his head, and then the old god said: "Over the years, I can understand that although Li Qian himself is talented, what he values most is actually his character. Maybe it's because he's so talented! A talented person is often arrogant, but he doesn't, if you think about it carefully, he always thinks very low of himself, and his posture is always very low. But in fact, it was only because he had disdained to put that arrogance on his face all day long. You think, just with his ability, how can he not have a little arrogance in his heart? You Zhou Baoshan has only been popular for a few days, and you dare to play a big name for me? Do you really think that your ability has already reached the sky?"

After a pause, he added, "Moreover, he especially likes to use those who are trouble-free and clean." Because from his point of view, he is very good to anyone, does not treat anyone badly, and does not disdain to oppress anyone, as long as you do things well, he will definitely praise you, and he will never press what should be given. This time, it is probably that he would rather sacrifice Zhou Baoshan, a person who has already been promoted, to suppress the film and television department of Minghu Culture!"

Feng Bicheng frowned slightly when he heard this, "Suppress the film and television department?"

Feng Yumin laughed and said: "In recent years, both himself and the entire Minghu culture have been turning to film and television, especially movies. The current Minghu culture, the scale, efficiency, and fame of the film and television department have shown a serious tilt. There are a lot of big names here in the film and television department! The last time he drank, he also said that he felt a little crooked and wanted to raise his head. So what should I do, then press it!"

After a pause, he smiled and said: "You think you have become famous and married, and you are a wrist? Then let you be clear that in the entire Minghu culture, only I am the wrist!"

Feng Bicheng nodded slowly when he heard this, with a look of sudden realization, and said, "It makes sense." ”

After a pause, he added: "He hates those 'crooked tendencies' the most." I like everyone to do things in peace and filming. He always told us that Chinese films must now catch up, at least for another ten years of down-to-earth work, before it is possible to slowly catch up with Hollywood, at this time, the attitude of doing things seriously is more important than talent!"

Feng Yumin nodded slowly, then sighed and said, "It's just Zhou Baoshan...... It's a pity! He spent so much effort to pick it up. ”

Feng Bicheng smiled and said, "Not necessarily, let's see what Zhou Baoshan thinks!"

Feng Yumin sighed and was about to speak, but at this time, the two of them were just chatting, and they didn't notice that the time passed very quickly, and Mother Feng downstairs had already begun to shout, "Aren't you two going to drink?" I got you a few cold dishes, come down and drink first!"

Feng Yumin's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Let's go, go down and have a few drinks with me!"

Feng Bicheng also stood up with a smile, and subconsciously asked, "Okay! What kind of wine are you drinking?"

Feng Yumin had already put down his pipe, opened his cabinet, took out two bottles of red wine, lit up at his son, and said, "Qian'er sent it, saying that it came from his winery!"

As he spoke, he smiled and said: "We can't take care of other things, and we don't have to think so deeply, take care of ourselves, we should eat meat and eat meat, and we should drink and drink." Then, let's watch his flowers bloom and fall, and the tide will fade!"

Feng Bicheng nodded.

The two men went out with their front and back feet, one holding a bottle of wine.

When going down the stairs, Feng Yumin also asked, "Your new film, it's decided?"

Feng Bicheng said: "Mr. Li's meaning is to let me take a break, not so anxious, there is no need to go one after another, the time to rest is actually a time to think and precipitate." But at noon today, I told him, and I said that I had already settled at the beginning, and now I just want to work. ”

Feng Yumin turned his head to look at his son when he heard this, and asked, "What did he say?"

Feng Bicheng laughed and said, "He looked at me and smiled and said okay." Then he said that I should go to the company tomorrow to find Mr. Qi to get a script. The next play is called "Crazy Racing". He explained to me that this play is a continuation of the style and idea of "Crazy Stone", and ...... It is necessary to focus on Liu Zhongxin. ”

Feng Yumin thought about it, and before he could sit down at the dinner table, he smiled.

"Sure enough!" he laughed, "that's it, he just likes this kind of person who is willing to be honest and obedient, and even, the more talented you are, the more honest you have to be." As long as you are willing to put your talent into your work, he can tolerate you for other things! As long as you are serious about filming, he can pick you up in a few dramas! And as long as you are not honest and want to jump up and down at the slightest moment, then he will suppress you without discussion! Like Zhou Baoshan, he actually played a big name on the set, although it was not serious, and there were more people in the circle who were not as popular as him but did things more than him, but in Li Qian's opinion, it was not good. ”

Feng Bicheng smiled and nodded.

"So the next thing I did was to shoot "Crazy Racing". If he wants to praise Liu Zhongxin and give Zhou Baoshan an example, then I can't let him down. ”

Feng Yumin said with a smile: "His book would not have disappointed." ”

Feng Bicheng nodded.

Although he hasn't seen this script called "Crazy Racing" yet, just by listening to the name, he knows that it is in the same vein as "Crazy Stone". With Li Qian's usual level, it must not be bad.

Therefore, it is equivalent to Li Qian giving him another movie that is bound to be a big hit.

This is the third installment.

This almost gave him an illusion: as long as he followed Li Qian, he would come up with good stories one after another to achieve himself, until he became a god!

I just don't know, Zhou Baoshan will feel this way!

After all, along the way, from the "Once Upon a Time" two-part series to "The Matrix", he is now popular all over the world, and the resources and strength he has gotten are even incomparable to himself, Jin Han, He Yingyu, Bai Yujing, etc.

In the entire Minghu culture, the person who should be most grateful is himself, and the second one should probably be his turn!

When I became a lost dog, I chose to stay, so I have today.

And he was an extra who worked odd jobs from a part-time job, and was directly praised by Li Qian's movies.

***

I haven't written a big chapter for a long time, and recently I have written several big chapters of five or six thousand words in a row, and I once again feel that after three years of writing a book, my body is really broken! A chapter of five or six thousand words often requires at least three hours, or even four hours, and frankly speaking, my body really can't sustain such a long period of high-intensity work.

In the future, let's be honest about three or four thousand words in a chapter.
