Chapter 205: The Noise
Morning, half past ten. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Feng Bicheng walked out of a building disappointed, threw the plan and script in his hand into the passenger seat, and stood outside depressedly and smoked half a cigarette before driving home.
As far as the Chinese film and television industry is concerned, he is classified as a princeling, the second generation of directors, his son Feng Yumin was born in Shuntian Film Academy, rooted in Huaxia TV for many years, and now still serves as the director of Huaxia TV drama production center.
After graduating from the directing department of Huaxia Drama Academy, Feng Biben first joined the TV drama production center of Huaxia TV and studied for a few years.
After a few years of mixing like this, he finally got an investment, not much, only three million. But with this investment, he filmed "Half a Hero", and under the overall collapse of the film market like 98, he bucked the trend and won more than 20 million box office, which can be regarded as a fight to become famous.
At that time, even Li Qian felt that he was quite talented and thoughtful, because he had a good relationship with Feng Yumin, he was a year-old friend, and once personally came forward to pull the Feng family father and son over. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to come up with the general idea of "Farewell My Concubine" to seduce Feng Yumin.
It's just that at that time, there was quite a talk of separating the TV drama production center from Huaxia TV to set up a film and television company, Feng Yumin was worried that he could pull it out and work alone when the time came, and he was worried about the position of general manager of the film and television company that was very likely to be acquired, so after thinking twice, he finally declined Li Qian's invitation.
However, at that time, Feng Yumin tried his best to persuade Feng Bicheng to go to Minghu culture, but at that time, Feng Bicheng had just become famous in a fight, and he was a big man in the film industry, and his heart was at the highest time, and Minghu culture at that time did not have any outstanding achievements in film and television.
In short, under Feng Yumin's matchmaking, everyone had a meal together and chatted, and Feng Bicheng left Li Qian with the feeling that even if they had a meal together, they seemed to have borrowed Feng Yumin's face!
In short, Feng Bicheng was not very interested in Minghu culture and Li Qian's wooing.
So, the matter was stopped at that time.
At that time, Feng Bicheng's second movie was actually already being planned. The movie "Half a Hero" made the investment boss make a lot of money, but Feng Bicheng only took a big red envelope in addition to a director fee of 100,000 yuan, just 300,000 yuan!
Compared with the net profit he created for investors as high as tens of millions, the little bit he got himself was really insignificant!
So, although he didn't fall out, he then found someone else to invest in him, and took advantage of the great success of "Half a Hero" to attract an investment of up to 12 million in one fell swoop, and filmed his second film "The Heroic Woman" - yes, another urban comedy.
The production cost has quadrupled, and there is no doubt that the production of "The Heroic Female" is much more elaborate than that of "Half a Hero", and even the actors have a certain degree of popularity! The heroine among them is the famous Xiaohuadan in China at that time, the pure jade girl Wen Yuanyuan, who was invited at a high price, and it is said that in order to invite her, the producer wrote a check of up to 2 million! At that time, Wen Yuanyuan was actually not worth this price!
However, that movie certainly allowed Feng Bicheng to get a director fee of 1 million, but after the movie was released, the box office did not have a bumper harvest as expected!
After entering the summer of 1999, this "Heroic Woman", which had been pinned on by the domestic film industry in advance, collided head-on with Hollywood blockbusters, and suddenly broke its head and bleed! In the end, it only got a total box office of 13.52 million -- there is no doubt that this achievement hit the street so much that investors couldn't find a grave when they cried!
At that time, his movie hadn't even been released for a month, and before the fourth week had passed, it was hastily taken offline by major theaters.
And then...... It can well be imagined!
Investors estimate that they even have the heart to kill Feng Bicheng, and Wen Yuanyuan's originally smooth star road has suddenly been cast a heavy shadow - Xiaohuadan's road should have been the safest to start by slowly brushing her face, rubbing the scene, and taking the vase route, she has done very well before, although the salary is limited and there are not many plays, but she is also one of the few small vases in the film industry! So all of a sudden, she, a small vase that had been optimistic about the future in the circle, suddenly became known as "box office poison"!
At the same time, the actors, agents, investors, etc., who were originally around Feng Bicheng, also dispersed in an instant!
The film and television industry and the entertainment industry are such a reality, and everything revolves around fame and profit - when you can bring profits to investors, and can bring remuneration and fame to actors, you are the king of heaven, and everyone holds you, but once you can't do it, everyone will immediately scatter!
What's more, the investment of 12 million only recovered the box office of 13.52 million, which is simply a loss of bottoms!
It can be said that with the small cost and big return of "Half a Hero", and it is also a success against the market, even if "The Heroic Female" is just an ordinary small loss, it is not enough to make everyone completely disappointed in Feng Bicheng.
For those who have succeeded, everyone is still relatively tolerant and waiting.
But the point is, "The Heroic Female" lost too much!
The producer loses! The distributor loses! The theater chain loses! Even the actors have lost their reputation and future! So much so that everyone judged at the first time that the success of "Half a Hero" was just a coincidence!
Therefore, even in the most realistic Hollywood, there is the so-called "three films" principle, a successful person has at least three chances to miss, and in China, film directors who have made money are doubly favorable, but such a huge loss of "The Heroic Woman of the World" still made Feng Bicheng a complete failure overnight!
The failure of this movie made him not dare to come out to meet people for a full year!
It wasn't until the autumn of last year that he finally couldn't hold it back, people, especially those who have achieved success, will always want to succeed again, and it is definitely impossible to endure loneliness.
So, he took the script he had been holding back for a year, and began to run around looking for investment again.
It's just that this time, even if he has the face of his father Feng Yumin, many film and television companies, production companies, and investors are unwilling to see him at all!
In a nutshell, the huge loss of "The Heroic Female" has made everyone in the circle frightened, and no one wants to believe him and give him any chance!
Today, too.
Asking friends, friends and friends, a friend and a friend, a total of several turns, finally supported the person, and finally moved an art director of the production company to agree to meet - in fact, everyone knew each other, and they had more than one drink together back then, but to this day, people are afraid of him, so they have to tactfully ask a friend to talk about it in the middle, and they finally reluctantly give a chance to meet.
Then, in less than twenty minutes, Feng Bicheng even suspected that the grandson hadn't even read the script seriously, just flipped through it casually, everyone chatted a few words, gossiped, and even recalled each other's past friendship years, and then ...... People just said: We can't invest in you, find someone else!
Feng Bicheng is ashamed and angry!
But there is nothing to be done!
To tell the truth, when I saw and heard the story of other people's downfall, I couldn't help but feel a little sad emotion, but I always felt that there was a layer of separation, and it didn't touch my heart and lungs much.
As long as you are red, what you say is what, how do you do it!
To put it mildly, if you fart a fart, people can analyze the Mediterranean flavor for you!
But once you hit the street, such as yourself who has fallen to the present, although your script is carefully conceived and honed over and over again, it is definitely a good thing, but no one even has the intention of looking at it - you are a director who has made a big bad movie like "The Heroine of the World"!
When he got home, he collapsed on the sofa, his eyes staring straight at the ceiling - at that moment, just like the previous few times, Feng Bicheng once again had a feeling of disillusionment in his heart.
I turned on the TV in a boredom, and it was a coincidence that this should be a replay of last night's show - that girl again, He Yingyu!
Every time he saw her, Feng Bicheng felt an indescribable irritability in his heart!
That is, in a few seconds, he didn't even hear what the host asked He Yingyu on the TV, so he turned off the TV again.
Bang!
The remote control was thrown to the ground, the TV cover jumped up, and the battery collapsed.
He collapsed limply on the couch again, looking up at the ceiling.
A few days ago, he didn't think about what happened back then, sometimes he felt that he couldn't take a step forward anymore, so he thought, it's really not good, and then ask the old man's face to see if he can go to Li Qian to serve a bowl of rice.
However, just when he felt that his pride was about to be smoothed out, and when he felt that his face was about to succeed in cultivation, he brushed it, and "My Sassy Girlfriend" became popular!
No. 1 in the weekly box office for two consecutive weeks, stunned to survive the total box office of 100 million for the Valentine's Day schedule! And this movie itself, only two weeks after its release, got more than 80 million box office!
It is said that the total investment is only 10 million -- the industry practice, in this 10 million miles, there will definitely be some sponsorship and advertising, and in the case of Li Qian's coffee position, maybe at least half of his 10 million shooting and production costs come from advertising, and even more, maybe he doesn't have to pay a penny himself!
In other words, this movie is definitely making a fortune!
So, Feng Bicheng felt that people were more popular and awesome now, and if he sent it to the door, it was estimated that people would be even more disdainful - who let him be so proud to reject him at the beginning!
Who can not be proud of others?
I was kind enough to woo you, but you refused, and now you come to me again, isn't this looking for me to be humiliated?
So after thinking about it, forget it!
It's just that "My Sassy Girlfriend" is really red now!
Li Qian has been fruitful in the music world, and after several days under his hands, he filmed a TV series, and won Bai Yujing, who disappeared without a trace, to become popular, and now he has started to make movies, and his first movie has steadily exceeded 100 million, and he actually picked up a national goddess He Yingyu!
This 10 million investment is really worth it!
…………
While he was thinking wildly, suddenly, the phone rang.
He picked up the phone and glanced at it, and when he saw that it was his father's number, he immediately frowned a little, but in the end, he still connected the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Feng Yumin's voice was a little majestic, "Don't drink today, don't stay up late, remember to get up early tomorrow, I'll drive to pick you up!"
"Huh, what?"
Feng Yumin sighed when he heard this, and said, "Cheng Yunshan knows, right? Tomorrow is his seventy-fifth birthday!"
Feng Bicheng was stunned for a long time and didn't react, until he said on the other end of the phone, "Did you hear that?" Don't drink, don't ......", his eyes suddenly blinked, interrupted his father's words, and asked, "You mean, the birthday of the old man Cheng who sang Peking Opera?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and said: "Yes! It is said that Li Qian will also go tomorrow! I have a good relationship with Fang Shaobai, the eldest disciple of Old Man Cheng. You...... See what I mean?"
Feng Bicheng was stunned when he heard this, and it took a few seconds to come back to his senses, and he suddenly felt that the whole person was from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, and suddenly full of spirit again, "Gotcha! Gotcha! I understand what you mean! Don't worry, I won't drink today, I won't stay up late, I'll go to bed early! I'll drive to my house over there to pick you up tomorrow!"
"Hmm. ”
Feng Yumin agreed with satisfaction.
After hesitating for a moment, he said again: "Don't mention what investment is not invested, people will definitely be indispensable at that time, there are many apprentices and grandchildren of Old Man Cheng, let's go there, that is, to pay homage to the old man, don't mention anything else, it's best to see Li Qian, chat a few words, congratulations to him, it doesn't matter if you don't see him, it's a very familiar relationship, there will be opportunities in the future, I can ask him out, don't always be in a hurry to do things!"
After finishing speaking, he put on his father's majesty again and asked, "Do you understand?"
"Understood! understood!" Feng Bicheng obediently agreed, and said: "I promise not to mention anything at that time, everyone will smooth out the relationship first, and when they are almost gone, it will be easy to say anything......! I understand!"
On the other end of the phone, Feng Yumin sighed, "Okay, I'll hang up!" After speaking, he hung up the phone.
On the phone side, as soon as the other end hung up, Feng Bicheng immediately got off the sofa with a carp, his face flashed with excitement, and he muttered: "If Lao Tzu can come back to life, just look at it!"
