Chapter 222 The general trend has been achieved
Smack!
Very rhythmic knocking sound.
Hu Fei was rubbing his brows on the boss's chair, and when he heard a knock on the door, he sat up all of a sudden, his breath was as steady as usual, and he said calmly: "Come in!"
Ming Xiaojing pushed the door in.
"Oh, Xiaojing is here, come, come, come, sit!"
Hu Fei immediately got up, with a kind smile on his face, and greeted at the same time: "Xiao Liu, which cabinet did you put my tea in? Find it out, find it out!"
The secretary came in and asked which tea was there, and Hu Fei replied, "It's just the cake of black tea I just brought yesterday!"
Xiao Liu immediately understood, turned around to the cabinet where Hu Fei collected the tea, and neatly found the tea.
At this time, Hu Fei had already started to boil water himself, and seeing that Ming Xiaojing was still standing, he beckoned again, "Sit, sit!" After speaking, he sat down first.
Ming Xiaojing was more or less surprised.
Hu Fei is usually very affectionate to others, which will make people feel particularly willing to make friends with him, but today...... How to put it, in terms of the sixth sense of a more attentive woman, he is a little too affectionate.
When he sat down, Ming Xiaojing sat down.
Actors, it's not easy to compare with directors, even if they are coffee and famous to the level of Ming Xiaojing, when facing a boss and big boss like Hu Fei, they can't talk about anything.
Qin Wei can call Hu Fei a brother and a brother, and call "Lao Hu" to his face, no problem, but Ming Xiaojing has to be respectful - even if this old Hu is very affectionate with Kang Xiaolou at every turn, but in the circle, the rules must be understood, he calls you brother and brother, don't kick your nose in the face!
The two sat down, the secretary had already come over with the tea leaves, skillfully found the tea needle, touched the amount of a pot, took the tea handle, put it on the table, and asked: "Mr. Hu, am I going to make it or ......?"
Hu Fei seemed to be in a really good mood today, and said with a smile: "No, I'll rush by myself, let's talk for a while!
Secretary Xiao Liu took the door and went out.
Ming Xiaojing felt more and more that something was wrong.
The water boiled, and Hu Fei fluently brewed, opened, and divided tea.
When the tea soup was divided, he asked with a smile, "How is Lao Qin's state?"
Ming Xiaojing received a call from Hu Fei after coming out of Qin Wei's house, and Hu Fei naturally wanted to care about Qin Wei's current state.
Ming Xiaojing said, "It's not good. ”
Hu Fei put away his smile, nodded, and then sighed a little heavily.
"Yes, it can't be too good! This incident hit him hard!" Hu Fei shook his head and sighed, "Old Qin, a person who has never lost in his life!
Ming Xiaojing nodded.
At this time, she simply didn't know how to describe her innermost thoughts to others.
Regret, grief, regret?
Neither.
Or, it can be roughly described by the words "inexplicably sad".
When she first debuted, Qin Wei was a well-known young and middle-aged director, praised as a rare genius by the domestic film industry, less than forty years old, and had won various domestic awards. When the two met, the cooperation of a "Red Light District" directly allowed both of them to reach the pinnacle of their respective careers.
At that time, Qin Wei was high-spirited and heroic.
However, he is a little old and desolate.
It seems to be aging rapidly.
After Hu Fei sighed, he sighed and said, "Don't talk about this, drink tea and taste it!"
Ming Xiaojing smiled reluctantly, picked up the cup and took a sip.
Black tea, it's really the first time I've drunk it.
Hu Fei picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Ming Xiaojing with a smile and put down the cup, and asked, "How is it?"
Ming Xiaojing smiled and said: "I don't understand tea, you Hu always attaches so much importance to it, then it must be good tea." ”
Hu Fei smiled when he heard this, and said, "I don't know about tea......! Hehe. ”
He left half of his speech, and Ming Xiaojing couldn't help but look at him.
Hu Fei said: "Two years ago, when we met for dinner, Li Qian took He Runqing and He Tianhou to go, and He Runqing brought these two boxes of tea to me at that time. Yesterday, I suddenly remembered, turned it out at home, and brought it over. ”
Ming Xiaojing was a little stunned.
When I used to come and go frequently, I seemed to have heard Li Qian mention it, saying that He Runqing's hometown produces black tea, and Li Qian loves to drink tea, so obviously, He Runqing estimated that he had collected a lot for him.
Li Qian, she still knows a lot about this person.
In addition to creating, creating, and creating, he himself doesn't really care much about food, clothing, housing and transportation. But the key is that the people around him are all people with good taste, so although he doesn't pay attention to it and doesn't care, but the people around him help him pay attention to it and help him care, and unconsciously, the food and clothes around him are almost nothing ordinary - once I went to his office with Xiaolou, and the two of them opened the cabinet and turned over the cigars, and the cabinet of rare limited edition cigars shocked Kang Xiaolou on the spot, and he came home and chatted for a long time.
The root of the problem is here, there are some things that you can't necessarily buy with money!
But Li Qian is weird: he smokes cigars, someone gives them, top-notch, he doesn't care about dressing, but Zhou Yan himself founded a clothing brand, he loves to drink tea, and I have the impression that Xie Bing simply paid for a large tea garden and handed it over to her father to manage.
As the two most famous sweet sister nursery rhymes in the domestic music scene, Xie Bing can do that, then you can imagine that He Runqing, who is smarter and more thoughtful in doing things, may also buy a tea garden in HUNAN's hometown!
How to say it, it gives people the feeling that although Li Qian doesn't care about these things, in fact, the things he enjoys every day are the ultimate luxury.
Of course, at this time, this information is just flashing in my mind.
After all, it doesn't really matter.
What's important is that Hu Fei called himself over and took out the tea that Li Qian gave him two years ago.
This one is kind of interesting.
Carefully calculated, from the fight between the two movies last year, to the fact that Li Qian couldn't bear to take out the letter of renunciation that shocked the entire entertainment industry, the two sides have completely severed their relationship for more than a year.
Subconsciously picked up the cup and tasted it again.
Well, I still can't drink anything, but it seems to be quite moisturizing.
Hu Fei took a sip of tea, put it down, seemed to be brewing for a while, and then said: "I remember that "Unfinished Love" was originally set, and it was scheduled at the end of September?"
Ming Xiaojing nodded, "Yes." ”
After a pause, he said: "After all, it's not a commercial film, and if you rush to the summer file, you're looking for death." ”
Hu Fei nodded, "Well, that's the case, try to avoid risks!"
But soon, he asked, "How's it going?" Do you have any new ideas? What are you going to shoot for the next film?"
Ming Xiaojing was stunned when he heard this, and then said after a pause: "You're not afraid that I will lose my "Unfinished Love"?"
Hu Fei laughed, "If you lose, you will pay! Movies are originally high-investment, high-return, and high-risk, we have been making movies for so many years, and our family background is a little bit of a little bit of knowledge, you Brother Hu and I are not like those people outside, as soon as I say that I may lose, I will be immediately frightened!"
Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said magnificently: "As far as your production cost is concerned, how can you pay for it? Besides, you are a dignified actress, there is nothing to say about your artistic talent, one can't do two, two can't work three, lose and lose, you will understand what's going on, once you understand your level, a film can earn back all the losses in the past!"
Speaking of this, he laughed, "No more, if you keep losing, losing several films, then it's a big deal to sign a deed of sale, just take a few more films and earn the money back and pay me back!"
Ming Xiaojing couldn't help but smile.
Some hearts are in high spirits.
But she soon understood that it was definitely not that simple.
It is true that Hu Fei is very generous, but in terms of business investment and film investment, he has never been too generous - on the contrary, if you say that you have taken a fancy to a certain luxurious dress, this boss dares not even ask the price, and directly says, buy it, brother will give it to you!
In short, work is work, investment is investment, and friendship is friendship.
Moreover, I think that when he first proposed to shoot "Unfinished Love", he didn't have the attitude he has now - he looked for him three times before and after, and the budget was finally reduced from 4 million to 2 million, but he was still killed directly again and again.
In the end, he still found Li Qian, he was soft-hearted, knowing that he would lose money, but he still decided to invest half of it for himself - but he later let down the love of others.
So at this time, after being happy, Ming Xiaojing didn't say a word, just looked at him.
Hu Fei also looked at her.
None of them are fools, and none of them are laymen.
It's good to go around in circles, although Hu Fei is sleek, he has never been the kind of person who goes around.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and he said very simply: "Xiaojing, the current situation is like this, Lao Qin's heart is lost all of a sudden, and it is estimated that he will have to rest for a while to relieve this breath." And now, the general trend of Minghu culture has become a trend, and they are invincible in movies and TV series. Li Qian is not only talented himself, but also very good at training people, Feng Bicheng and Zhao He, they have already come out! Jin Han has also won the award! And on the side of Minghu Culture, as far as I know, Han Shunzhang is the number one director in Li Qian's hands, and he hasn't made a move yet! In addition, it is said that Li Qian's evaluation of Lu Lingxi is also very high!
Speaking of this, he looked heavy and said, "Think about it, what kind of concept is this? In just a few years, Li Qian's own three movies want to be famous and profitable. The directors under his command are also big sellers when they release a film! Of the films that have grossed more than 500 million yuan at the box office in China so far, including this "Huang Feihong", there are four in total, and their company itself accounts for three!"
Speaking of this, he sighed before he said, "This battle can't be fought!"
Ming Xiaojing looked at him in surprise.
She really didn't expect that such a big guy as Hu Fei would actually say such things to herself.
Situation...... Has it come to this point?
Hu Fei raised his hand, as if he wanted to make some move, but finally put it down helplessly, and just said: "If this wave of "Golden Stage" is up, we will barely be able to stand with Minghu, let's pull Zhou Yanghua again, we can hold on for a while, but "Golden Stage" pounces, and I have no choice! Zhou Yanghua has been thinking about finding a place where no one is crying so far this year, and I am almost the same!"
"What should we do? We worked hard, we worked hard, but we just couldn't get him!"
"On my side, Lao Qin is broken, at least for a year, he can't rest, the key is that he has no self-confidence! Liu Chengzhang's new movie doesn't know when it will be released, the key is that even if he makes money with this new film, he can't count on it! He is not a person who can carry the flag! Moreover, he can't talk about any deep friendship with our side, just leave!"
"Zhou Yanghua's side, Wu Han's film may be released in the second half of the year, which is good news, but this year, even Lao Qin and Du Weiyun can pounce like this, can Wu Han definitely do it? Moreover, he didn't even drink the soup in the few dramas that were sold in China this year, and Du Weiyun, who he relied on the most, also pounced like that......
"It is estimated that he will not be able to stand it, as long as Minghu Culture does not give him copies of future plays, he will stare dryly! You know, the cinemas of the Oriental Cinema Line are all in the bustling commercial district! The same film, he has a high attendance rate, but the rent is also expensive! He has a large cost and expenses, if everyone has a film, he doesn't have it, he can't get it, I tell you, it's okay to say in one year, and in two years, he has to pay for all his pants!"
"Zhou Yanghua is so smart, it doesn't take a year and a half, it is estimated that he has already come back to his senses now, what is there to fight? What is there to fight? To put it bluntly, we are not like you, you are artists, we are just businessmen! Businessmen, the ultimate goal of making such a big mess is not to make money? Because of the fighting spirit, he doesn't even make money? Stupid or not?"
"So, maybe he had a heart before, and I also had intentions, but now, I am like a mirror in my heart, and he is probably very clear in his heart, even if the two of us are united, plus a Yuan Ke, of course, we can still continue to wrestle with Minghu Culture for a while, and the three of them can still make up a foundation of Minghu, plus Oriental Media has a theater line over there, it can be regarded as a strong soldier!"
"However, it doesn't mean much!"
"It's still the same sentence, what kind of fighting! Everyone joins hands to make money, it's a serious thing!"
"But the problem now is, you know, the relationship is stiff!
Speaking of this, he looked a little worried, raised his hand and rubbed his head, and then waved his hand unconsciously, "I don't know what Zhou Yanghua will do over there, but I, we, have to turn around!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Ming Xiaojing and said, "Xiaojing, I know, this will make you a little embarrassed." However, I can only look for you! I knew your relationship with Li Qian before, but later for the sake of Lao Qin, I hurt this childlike relationship, and I also know it, but what can I do?"
At this point, Ming Xiaojing felt that this might be the longest passage he had ever heard Hu Fei say in one breath - it meant that of course he understood and understood.
It's just that......
Hu Fei said: "In this way, you can draw up a book, even if you only have an outline! Just shoot what you want to shoot the most, and tell you clearly, your film, Brother Hu is not afraid of compensation! You pay all the money, and you Brother Hu and I can only thank you, okay? You should practice again and play with confidence!"
After a pause, he said: "There is only one request, the hero and heroine, invite someone from Minghu Culture! And you must invite me! The heavier the better!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ming Xiaojing to reply, he added, "If you can get Li Qian's script, it will be even better!"
Ming Xiaojing looked embarrassed.
Do you want to find Li Qian again?
She really didn't have that confidence anymore, and she felt that she really didn't have the face to say anything more about what she wanted.
As we all know, Li Qian does not take on dramas except for one "Red Sorghum", only friends' plays, and he can't erase his feelings, so he will occasionally appear in a cameo role, but at the beginning, he had promised himself that he would play the leading role in "Unfinished Love".
Think about it, what a face.
That's a lot of affection.
But......
When she saw that side in Cannes this year, she already knew very well that the past feelings were gone.
"Mr. Hu, I'm afraid it's ......" she shook her head, wanting to refuse.
Hu Fei hurriedly raised his hand, stopped her words, and said: "Li Qian is a person who misses the old and has a soft heart, as long as you go, he will definitely not refute your face!
Ming Xiaojing looked at him, and wanted to say at this time, even if he would promise me, I would have no face to go.
But after thinking about it, he blurted out another sentence, "I understand what you said just now, I understand some, but there are others, I don't understand very well! Zhou Yanghua has a cinema chain in his hand, he wants to maintain the cinema chain, he can't continue to get the screening rights of those big-selling movies in Minghu, but our Huafei Film and Television ......"
Hu Fei laughed, shaking his head while laughing.
Ming Xiaojing's words naturally stopped.
After a pause, Hu Fei said: "Last year, Lao Qin's "Gate of Life and Death" stepped on Li Qian's "Huang Feihong", and as you know, it is estimated outside, at least Minghu Culture has lost tens of millions of box office! So, what next? Du Weiyun pounced, Lao Qin pounced, and Li Qian had no one to stop him! This circle of people in China, who he wanted to destroy and whom! Don't talk about him, it was Feng Bicheng and Zhao He, who were also people who everyone feared!"
"What if Minghu Culture turns over and turns around and starts to aim at our films? Not to mention anything else, he will make the third part of "Huang Feihong" next year, what schedule you set, what schedule he sets, what should I do?
"To put it bluntly, the world has changed, and we are now at a disadvantage! So I don't want to, and I don't dare to fight against them! And, ...... I'm scared!"
"So, I'll pay for it, you make a film, and invite the actors from Minghu! Let's take this opportunity to ease the relationship, and hope that Minghu culture will not target us in the future." You say, isn't that the reason?"
Ming Xiaojing hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Li Qian...... He's not like that, he's not!"
Hu Fei nodded, but said, "But Qi Jiehui!"
Ming Xiaojing was speechless.
***
The title numbers of this chapter really awkward to me......
Keep asking for a monthly pass to hide your embarrassment!
PS: Today's update of the official account is the character card of "Lu Lingxi", haha, the role of Mr. Lu, even if it was a dream that I personally didn't go to film school because I didn't have the money to pay tuition!
