Chapter 139: Big Guys
On the surface, the "Beijing Circle" is a circle divided by geography, and the existence of groups like the "Hometown Association" is not so simple in essence.
The early Beijing circle included singers such as Cui Jian and Dou Wei, but with the fading of the rock generation, the Beijing circle that everyone talks about now basically refers to the film and television industry.
At the beginning, the main figures in the Beijing film and television circle were Wang Shuo, Ye Jing, Zheng Xiaolong, and Ye Dayin.
One writer, three directors such a configuration, in the 90s, that is, who is a popular masterpiece, so they began to form a gang, gathering Feng Xiaogang, Zhao Baogang, Uncle Ge, Chen Hong, Jiang Wen, Guan Yu, Wen Zhang, Xu Jingjing and a series of big bowls.
For actors, although entering the Beijing circle does not mean that they will definitely be popular, the top resources are gone.
However, with the arrival of capital, the entertainment industry is gradually keeping up with money, the power of the Beijing circle has been weakened, and some media no longer revolve around them...
Especially after Huiwen got up.
Xu Hui does not belong to the Beijing circle, he makes movies, even if he doesn't look for actors from his own company, he will pick some powerful actors!
Except for the very beginning of "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Those Years", he used actors under Huayi, and in the next few years, Xu Hui's movies basically did not see actors with the Huayi label...
In a sense, this is what the company did on purpose!
In the same Beijing, one acre and three points of land, Huiwen's most direct competitor is Huayi.
However, this is a normal business competition for the same type of company, in fact, Xu Hui and Feng Xiaogang have always maintained a good contact...
The Huayi Wang brothers belong to the bridgehead pushed out by the Beijing circle, they are essentially businessmen, and Xu Hui is different from them.
Xu Hui is an artist!
……
"How's it going, are you coming?"
"Well, he said he'll be there soon!"
Feng Xiaogang hung up the phone and replied.
The thing is very simple, Guan Yu wanted to start "Lao Pao'er", and found Zheng Xiaolong, who looked at the script and thought it was very good, so he asked who the screenwriter was, and Guan Yu said that it was Xu Hui.
Zheng Xiaolong really wanted to meet him!
Then Wang Shuo, Jiang Wen, and Chen Daoming, who were idle, were also called out.
Feng Xiaogang, who was hurriedly preparing for the Spring Festival Gala, also came to accompany him.
Zheng Xiaolong is the boss of this gang!
Or maybe Bole is more suitable!
In the TV series "Desire" produced by the Beijing Television Art Center in the 90s, Wang Shuo was the planner, and Zhao Baogang was the director, this TV series with thousands of empty alleys made Zhao Baogang embark on the road of directing, and later "The Story of the Editorial Department" became his pioneering work, which is known as the first indoor sitcom in China, which fulfilled Uncle Ge and made the relationship between several people closer and closer.
The producer of this drama is Zheng Xiaolong!
It was also he who recruited Feng Xiaogang to work as an artist.
In ninety-four years, the two co-directed "Beijingers in New York", and the actor was Jiang Wen.
The TV series "Addictive" directed by Zhao Baogang is the investor and producer of Beijing TV, and the producer is also Zheng Xiaolong!
The grace of knowing is more important than Mount Tai!
"The script of "Lao Pao'er" is good, but it won't make us wait for a group of people, right?"
Maybe it's because the literati are light, Wang Shuo looks down on Xu Hui a little.
"He is worth more than 10 billion, and he is the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and I heard that his movie is likely to win the Oscar, such a young man, let's wait a minute, what's wrong?"
Big Brother was obviously a little unhappy, Wang Shuo resolutely shut up, and then shifted the target to Feng Xiaogang, who was sitting on the side drinking tea: "Xiaogang, why is your face so bad?"
"Hey, I kind of understand, the Spring Festival Gala is simply not a human job, you say that I was really kicked in the brain by a donkey, and I took such a mess!"
opened the chatterbox, Feng Xiaogang was like Xianglin's sister-in-law: "I'm so stupid, really!" raised his unsparkling eyes, and then said: "I just know that directing the Spring Festival Gala must be very exciting! I don't know that this thing has so many restrictions! I think all the good programs have been killed, and those vetting masters, the first trial, the second trial, and the third trial, it is strange that there can be good works in such a review 1 The sketch has been reduced to a tool for singing praises and virtues, completely far from the original intention of the satire of the 90s..."
"How did I persuade you at the time? Don't take it, you don't listen!"
"It's not like I haven't done a party before, I want to try my hand..."
“…”
In the whole room, there was only the voices of Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo talking...
"Who of you knows what his movie did at the box office?"
Guan Yu said: "... 68 million in two days, and it is estimated that it will be 300 million at most..."
Zheng Xiaolong looked at Feng Xiaogang: "Is this box office good?"
“… can't be compared with his previous movies, his "Undefeated in the East" won more than 200 million at the box office!"
"It seems that the North American box office has reached $60 million..."
"Is it a foreign language film?"
"Yes, it's called "Cinema Paradiso", I've always wanted to take the time to watch it, and I can't leave it... Yo, he's coming!"
As he was talking, the phone shook a little, Feng Xiaogang looked at it, and Guan Yu got up and opened the door...
……
Huang Wen stood at the agreed place, looking at Xu Hui, who got off the car not far away and walked towards him, he was in a trance...
In the early morning of five years ago, he received a phone call, and then accepted Xu Hui, who was like a lost dog!
In just five years...
Huang Wen sometimes wants to write about what happened to Xu Hui, and it will definitely be a big hit!
It's called "I Am Legend"...
Who would have thought that a boy who returned from South Korea and planned to return home to become a dance teacher at worst would become a world-famous director?
In such a situation, even the most brainy online writer can't pull it out, right?
In fact, Xu Hui had an unpleasant encounter with him, and Huang Wen was also kicked out of the management.
In a year, Huang Wen has experienced a lot, and many of the friends who used to call him brothers and sisters are gone...
The goblins who were scrambling to warm his bed also left him...
The only constant may be Xu Hui's attitude towards him, as always respectful!
Far away, Xu Hui shouted, "Brother Wen!"
“… Congratulations!"
"Haha, I didn't expect it, let's go, Director Feng and they have been waiting for almost half an hour. ”
Xu Hui also laughed, and the two walked into the agreed hotel.
"Hello sir... Ah, Xu Hui!"
As soon as he entered the door, a beautiful waiter came over and politely wanted to ask, and then saw Xu Hui's face clearly, and shouted excitedly!
Uh, it's clear that this is a fan of Xu Hui...
"Hello!"
Xu Hui nodded with a smile, and then said the name of the box that Feng Xiaogang had sent to him before.
"Director Xu, I went to watch "Paradise Cinema", I was so moved..."
“… Thank you!"
“… Can you sign for me?"
"Of course. ”
After signing and taking another group photo, the waiter finally withdrew.
“… Come, let me introduce you!"
Entering the door, Feng Xiaogang got up and pulled Xu Hui to start introducing the people at the big table.
It's all big guys!
