Chapter 3 Huayi
Hearing Huang Wen's words, Xu Hui frowned and thought for a long time, but still shook his head: "No, I'm not an actor!"
Xu Hui looks down on actors in his heart, he thinks that actors are actors, and directors are artists!
Now let him be an actor, is it possible?
"Then do you know what camera position, light, lighting, and focus are?"
It is true that Huang Wen is an agent, but he still has experience in film and television production, and casually asked a few directors about the basic common sense.
“… Hehe, Brother Huang, you may not know, I applied for the Nortel directing department before, so I still have the theoretical knowledge of directing!"
"So what? Do you have a way to get the distribution company to believe you?"
"I have so many fans, my films..."
Xu Hui still wanted to argue for himself, but Huang Wen interrupted him again: "Xu Hui, just listen to my advice, I won't harm you!" You first participate in a few movies and be familiar with the production process of domestic films.
Xu Hui was slightly stunned.
He knows that if he announces directing the film now, there will definitely be a lot of opposition, but relatively speaking, once the work he makes is at a normal level, he can impress these people!
However, Huang Wen's words still reminded him that with his current appeal, it is impossible to find a decent behind-the-scenes team!
Without a distribution company, you can figure it out on your own, but without a behind-the-scenes team, the movie can't be made anyway!
Seeing that Xu Hui seemed to be a little moved, Huang Wen added to the fire: "You can also think about how to shoot your first movie while filming, which behind-the-scenes personnel to find, and which actors to find, these all take time." ”
This is true, my current identity is a little fresh meat and an idol!
Idols are of course god-like beings in the eyes of fans, but in the eyes of peers, they are a joke - just a skin and an egg!
When they see the huge energy that can burst out of fan movies, they will know that having a good skin can really outperform good acting skills that have been honed dozens of times!
"Okay, then tomorrow you bring the script, I'll pick a few plays..."
“… Xu Hui, although we Huayi have produced a lot of movies, most of the roles have already been decided. ”
"It's okay, I don't compete with others for roles!"
"Okay, let's go to Huayi together tomorrow!"
……
Night, three o'clock.
A mansion in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul.
A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties was at home and roared, "What do you mean? What does it mean to be gone?"
"President, we have searched the entire company and the dormitory building, and we can't get through to his phone, we have a few suspicions..."
"Suspect what?
"We suspect he went back to China!"
Lee so-man, well, this man is the president of Star Museum Entertainment Company, Lee so-man.
Anyway, this gentleman is quite funny, and he actually named his company S, M!
After a while, Li Xiuman's voice returned to its original state: "... Any signs from before?"
"There's really no sign of this... No, president, Xu Hui once mentioned to me, saying that he wanted his personal studio in China, but I refused... You said it was because of this, that's why he..."
"You're doing a great job, and if you change me, I won't agree either!"
Li Xiuman snorted coldly: "Why don't these people want to think about it, without us, where would they have the opportunity to become famous, and now they will betray the company for a little profit!
Li Xiu was full of anger, and his words were still full of gritted teeth.
“… President, what should I do now?"
"Hmph, wait, wait for him or the person behind him to take the initiative to contact us!"
“… Oh, I see, the president is really clever, what does the president mean..."
"Don't talk about those useless ones, let me ask you, how did the other members react?"
Li Xiuman didn't give this subordinate time to perform at all, and asked directly.
“… It's all good, except for Xi Che, who insists that we forced Xu Hui away!"
"It's okay, that kid is angry, this is a good thing, is there anything else?
"There hasn't been much change in the mood of Siyuan, but several Chinese members of SJ-M are clamoring to increase the share ratio, president, you see..."
"Ignore them, Xu Hui is gone, SJ-M will be stranded for the time being, by the way, have you notified Vice President Kim Young-min?"
“… Not yet, we'll call you first. ”
"Okay, call Kim Young-min right away, we... At five o'clock, the company gathered to discuss the next countermeasures!"
Li Xiuman looked at the watch in his left hand and said the meeting time.
……
The next morning, Xu Hui followed Huang Wen into the interior of Huayi Company.
He was greeted by the second-in-command Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhonglei has always served as the general person in charge of the Huayi film and television section, so he is also the one who shows up the most.
"Xu Hui, it is definitely an honor for us Huayi Brothers for you to join our Huayi Brothers!"
"Mr. Wang, you are too polite, it should be me who thank you for accepting me, a poor homeless person!"
After greeting for a while, Wang Zhonglei said: "You don't have to worry about the termination of the contract with SM Company, we have already read the contract, and it is simply frenzied! We have arranged a lawyer, and they say that the probability of success in the lawsuit is very high." ”
“… Thank you, Mr. Wang. ”
"Don't keep calling me Mr. Wang, call me Brother Zhonglei! By the way, do you want to continue to make music or film when you return to China this time? I think your image is quite suitable for being an actor. ”
"I want to be a director!"
“… Director?"
Wang Zhonglei was stunned.
Are you kidding?
Just you, or director?
Huayi started with Feng Xiaogang, and of course he attaches great importance to the director.
They are willing to believe in the power of the director, they feel that as long as there is a director, there is everything, of course, they only believe in director Feng Xiaogang!
It's not right, it should be said that they are willing to believe in experienced and powerful directors.
Wang Zhonglei looks down on people who want to be directors halfway.
Therefore, Huayi missed "33 Days of Broken Love", a work with an investment of 10 million in exchange for a box office of nearly 400 million, its director Teng Huatao and Wang Zhonglei are friends, and the two often play together, why Huayi Brothers did not invest, it is because Teng Huatao is just a TV series director;
missed "Thai Embarrassment", the investment company Xu Zheng was looking for at the beginning must have been Huayi, and the Huayi brothers also refused, because they didn't believe that Xu Zheng, who was born as an actor, could direct a good movie;
However, later, they were willing to support new directors, He Yi's "Gardenia Blossom", Huang Lei's "Trouble Family"...
I guess I've also realized the benefits of bringing my own fan team.
But that was after 2015, and now it's 2008, do you think Wang Zhonglei will agree to let a 24-year-old idol like Xu Hui get addicted to being a director?
In an instant, the two fell into an awkward situation.
"Mr. Wang, this is his ultimate goal, and at this stage, of course, he is accumulating experience in acting. ”
Huang Wen added on the side.
