Chapter 37: The Huluwa Incident
Zhang Yimou is the kind of workaholic, and his work is rigorous and pragmatic, which is even more outrageous.
Some people are afraid of making a mistake and adjust their watch by a few minutes, which is understandable, right? But Zhang Yimou's watch was adjusted by him by half an hour!
With such a sense of time, the people who worked with him were also devastated. When filming "Alive", the screenwriter was Reed. After filming every day, Zhang Yimou will leave the main creator behind and continue to discuss the plot, and Lu Wei is forced to sleep only three hours a day...
A director with such energy...
Zhang Yimou will also rest for a year, and it is very fixed: the first day of the Lunar New Year every year. Sleeping only 2-3 hours a day all year round, the collaborators all collapsed.
At the same time, he has a clear positioning for himself, that is, a capable director in photography, so he pays special attention to the screenwriting and script!
All of China's literary and artistic youth know that Lao Mouzi is not good at screenwriting.
Looking at it from another angle, this also shows that he is extremely accurate. After all, no one dares to say that the movie has won an award or has a good reputation, and the script must account for the first credit!
If there were no two strife and a bunch of things, according to his usual work efficiency, "The Return" would be released this year!
So Xu Hui was not in a hurry, and sat on the side and watched Huang Wen take out the contract and discuss the content of the contract with Zhang Yimou.
After all, Huiwen Tianxia is a listed company, although it attaches great importance to directors and has become a personal studio for each director, but there are also tasks, such as three-year and five-year plans.
Although it is not necessary to set a net profit every year, there is a basic requirement.
For example, commercial films must return to their original costs...
Of course, there are not so many requirements for Zhang Yimou, but there are also minimum guarantees, such as a movie every two years.
After all, his signing fee is as high as 120 million!
ββ¦ That's basically it..."
Huang Wen introduced them one by one according to the terms.
ββ¦ 120 million? Is it too much? Do I have to pay taxes?"
Lao Zhang was shocked by Huiwen's generosity.
Tsk, the old man in Shaanxi * West has no knowledge!
Huayi can bid 1 billion to buy Feng Xiaogang's studio, and Ahri 2.3 billion to buy 51% of Xingye's shares, in comparison, 120 million is a hair!
"Director Zhang, your "Hero" has a global box office of 1.4 billion yuan, according to the minimum director's share, you can get at least 100 million..."
"At that time, we didn't have any sharing standards, they were all the most basic salaries..."
"So, this 120 million is considered compensation for you..."
Regarding "Hero", Lao Mouzi has his own opinion, the core of the movie is 'King, kill or not', but unfortunately, the final shot was cut by Miramax.
"Kill, kill!" Ten thousand arrows fired a volley, and he died nameless at the gate of the palace, and King Qin's eyes wept. Suddenly, the 800 ministers laughed, and all bowed to King Qin: "Congratulations to the king, you have escaped another catastrophe!" King Qin smiled and did not answer, but there were still tears in his eyes, and he only said: "Thick burial!"
With this one more shot, there is no way to talk about the kind of nothingness that has been criticized by film critics!
β¦β¦
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Wen and Xu Hui left Zhang Yimou's house.
Huang Wen looked at Xu Hui: "When will you return to Beijing?"
ββ¦ Wait two more days. β
"You're telling me the truth, did something happen?"
"What can I do... By the way, did you remind Lao Mouzi to hurry up and pay the fine?"
"What fine?"
"What fines can there be?"
"This, his wife should have paid it off..."
Huang Wen hesitated.
This thing is a private matter, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to ask more, and it is not easy to meddle...
ββ¦ You, I'll take a look at Weibo!"
Huang Wen and Xu Hui visited Lao Mouzi with such fanfare, they must not be able to hide from the eyes of a bunch of people, so they slapped it casually and uploaded it to Weibo...
Zhang Weipin must have found out!
Sure enough, the first hot search on Weibo became 'Xu Hui visits Zhang Yimou, and the two may cooperate...'
What's more, everything in the era of self-media needs to be hidden!
ββ¦ Isn't that fine, you're making too much of a fuss... I'll go!
Huang Wen turned his head sideways and looked at Xu Hui's mobile phone, as soon as the words fell, Xu Hui clicked on a repost sent by a fan, capitalized 'Zhang Yimou's gourd baby and his father...'
In December 2011, China's famous director Zhang Yimou officially registered his marriage with a local woman, Chen Ting, in Sudi Wuxi. They have two sons and a daughter, and four ex-wives, for a total of seven children...'
ββ¦ Wait, I'll give you a call and ask!"
This kind of thing, once it is on Weibo, it is impossible to hide it!
In particular, Zhang Yimou is still a public figure.
Huang Wen hung up the phone: "Someone sent a text message, and most of the senior reporters in the country received it!"
ββ¦ Is it Zhang Weipin?"
"Even if it's not him, it's with him, and it can't be separated from him!"
"Find someone for public relations immediately, and contact Zhang Yimou immediately and ask him to pay the fine quickly... If he can't bear it, we can pay it on his behalf!"
What's the matter, it was announced that he had signed a contract with Zhang Yimou, and a 'gourd baby incident' immediately appeared, which was to kill Huiwen in the world!
β¦β¦
Beijing, the new crown of pictures.
Zhang Weipin is sending private text messages to his good friend He Jun.
This He Jun is a very stupid and naΓ―ve actress in the series, probably Zhang Weipin gave her some promises, such as 'Mou Girl' or something, but unfortunately, when "Thirteen Hairpins" was filmed, she was kicked out of the crew because she violated the crew's confidentiality regulations...
But she has always maintained a very close relationship with Zhang Weipin.
"You broke the news, you can definitely be popular!"
Zhang Weipin said.
It's not very clear whether it's on fire or not, but this Weibo is really popular!
The number of reprints in 24 hours reached more than 100,000 and a bunch of comments.
'Tsk, making bad movies says that it is an export of foreign culture, engaging in extramarital affairs and then breaking up is said to be for the sake of the prodigal son of his children to turn back, and forming a superborn guerrilla force is said to be an elite who has the right to have more children, a true national teacher!'
'Gourd baby, gourd baby, seven flowers on a vine...'
It spread very quickly, and it is clear that someone is behind it!
When Lao Mouzi cooperated with Zhang Weipin before, Zhang Weipin's big mouth completely offended the Beijing circle, and everyone was willing to see Lao Mouzi in trouble.
In addition, Huiwen has more competitors in the world, so...
Loved!
It's also understandable to poke in the back.
At about five o'clock, Xu Hui arrived home and kept calling after that.
He does have something, and it's not just to avoid the big power.
'Superborn Incident', 'Character Problems in 'Wasteland', in short, he's busy...
Da Mi Mi has been sitting on the sofa in the study, watching him busy.
Half an hour later, Xu Hui put down his phone, looked at the neutral gear, and asked, "... You went to see Zhang Yimou today?"
"Well, you read Weibo?"
"Then tell me, does Zhang Yimou really have seven children?"
