Chapter 084 Actor Question

Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng left the Bona headquarters in Chaoyang, and as soon as they got into their car, the couple lost the kind and even cautious feeling they had before, and they didn't even bother to put on their expressions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In other words, the aura is different.

"What do you think...... This 'Brother Chun'?" Shi Nansheng sneered.

"Hmm. Tsui Hark didn't even bother to give a sentence.

"Don't keep humming and humming, who knows what you mean?" Shi Nansheng asked coldly. "What the hell is that?"

"As long as there is only one female No. 2 investor, or such a well-known artist, what else can I say about a female artist who has been on Time Magazine twice?" Tsui Hark was also a little impatient. "I can only huh, right? What's more, the male number one invited Jet Li according to my wishes, right? What can I say?"

"I know you're not willing!" Shi Nansheng still had that mocking poker face.

"So I can only hmm!" Tsui Hark still felt angry. "I can't say no now, nor can I nod here with my responsibilities as a director, I can only hmm, okay?"

The couple quarreled a few words in an unkind tone, and then finally fell silent, while the driver in the front seat squinted his eyes with his hands on the steering wheel as if he was sleeping, as if he was no longer familiar with this scene.

"Let's be honest. It was a long time before Tsui Hark pulled out his cigarette and reopened his mouth. "Li Yuchun is not impossible, I endured it and admitted it, because this is the role belonging that was said in advance. Here's the problem...... When I met Jin Zhongming today, I always felt that he was very suitable for Yuhuatian's image, the kind of elegant and gentle on the surface and the domineering and powerful feeling on the inside, which was naturally suitable, and was a typical combination of Zhou Yu and Cao Cao. ”

"Reluctant?" Shi Nansheng asked coldly.

"That's right, reluctantly. Tsui Hark nodded. "Falling from heaven to hell is probably like this today. ”

"Even if you don't want to?" Shi Nansheng continued. "Do you invite a rich man like people who donate 10 billion won a year? How do you think about this kind of financial resources and style, how do you look like our 600-year-old uncle? When will you invite the sixth uncle to make a movie?"

"Not necessarily!" Tsui Hark pressed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray in the car. "The filmmaker understands the filmmaker, although he is well disguised, but I can see that he has some interest, but he should still have some concerns. I mean, when our divorced Mr. Yu comes back, find a chance to talk to him and let him mention it, in that case, there may not be no chance. ”

"Let's say okay. Shi Nansheng watched Tsui Hark light another cigarette and became a little impatient. "This time I came to Bona and tried not to lose my temper!"

"I know. Tsui Hark suddenly lost the interest in smoking, and he pressed a whole cigarette into the ashtray. "If it doesn't work, I'll admit it, can't I?"

"That's good. Shi Nansheng nodded, and then knocked on the seat in front of him. "Ah Liang, let's drive, let's go home. ”

In other words, from beginning to end, this strong woman has a cold poker face, as if she is bored with everything, including her husband's Tsui Hark. And Tsui Hark doesn't seem to be bored with just the issue of actors.

In this way, the car started and left, and in Chen Yongxiong's office on the fourth floor, the two people before were also staring at the car downstairs side by side.

In other words, everyone is not stupid, just after the famous circle couple downstairs discussed Jin Zhongming and left, Jin Zhongming and Chen Yongxiong also began to discuss them upstairs.

"What does Mr. Jin think of these two?" After returning from the window, Chen Yongxiong took the initiative to bring Jin Zhongming a cup of coffee from the secretary. "Latte with milk...... Now you can find this hobby on it. ”

"Times are different. The smiling Jin Zhongming made a pun. "Isn't that a matter of course?"

"That being said. Chen Yongxiong shook his head with emotion. "Many Hong Kong filmmakers actually can't see this, and I don't understand why anyone still has that sense of superiority."

"It doesn't matter. Jin Zhongming chuckled. "Those people will be eliminated. ”

"This sounds really emotional to me!" Chen Yongxiong shook his head again. "On the one hand, I really dislike that they can't understand the changing times. On the other hand, seeing that Xu Laowei, who had a weird temper and was always unexpected, actually had a day of pretending to be stupid and stunned, it was really a sad feeling. ”

"I actually have a double feeling. Kim walked around the office with a coffee cup and stood in front of a calligraphy piece hanging on the wall. "On the one hand, I do feel sorry for people like Tsui Hark, just like you. They are very good and talented, but the times have changed, and their golden age will never go back, so their talent is destined to be suppressed by the times. As far as Tsui Hark is concerned, artistically, he will never be able to return to the original "Green Snake" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", and commercially, he will never be able to return to the "Once Upon a Time Series" in the past. And this is almost the greatest sorrow of a filmmaker. ”

Chen Yongxiong was silent.

"Still. Jin Zhongming turned around and put down the coffee cup in his hand. "On the other hand, true filmmakers never die because they are always willing to compromise for the sake of film. Or rather, people who are willing to compromise for the sake of cinema are real filmmakers, because they can survive. These people can bear the ...... of investors, the market, and the media for the completion of a movie Even political pressure. Even director Chen Kexin, I think he will be much calmer after suffering the losses of "Casting Names" and "October Siege", because in the final analysis, I still think he is a good director when he calms down. Of course, there is also our director Tsui Hark, in my opinion, it is natural that he has such a style today, because he is Xu Lao Wei. ”

I don't understand that. Chen Yongxiong looked at the coffee cup on the table with an expressionless face. "Shouldn't Old Monster Xu be wanton?"

"Why do you call him Xu Lao Wei?" Jin Zhongming asked without answering.

"It's simple. Chen Yongxiong explained lightly. "He always surprises us......"

"That's innovation. Kim Jong-ming corrected the other party's statement. "A lot of people always miss his past work as much as I do, thinking how great it was and how he can't go back now...... But in fact, it's just because he keeps overthrowing himself and starting over, and such a person is probably the one who can best adapt to the changes of the times. ”

"Including pretending to be stupid and stunned at you, without any sharpness?"

"It's different on set. Jin Zhongming suddenly smiled bitterly. "It's a pity, in fact, I still want to see the level of this famous director. ”

"That's not impossible. Chen Yongxiong also put down the previous topic for the time being. "How about it? I also know that Kim always focuses on being an actor in everything, you are interested, and Director Tsui Hark also has that intention, do you want to try it? I know you don't act in costume dramas, but martial arts films should not be among them, right?"

"I appreciate Mr. Chen's kindness. Jin Zhongming waved his hand gently. "I don't act in costumes because there are a lot of problems with Korean works with historical themes, and martial arts films really don't have this taboo, but there is still a movie in South Korea, and it will be action at the end of this year, where can I run on both sides?"

"If it's a commercial film. Having said that, Chen Yongxiong still tried his best to persuade a few words. "You can still run on both sides, and you won't miss anything. I don't say this to say that if you want to come, I can easily save a salary, but the main thing is ...... The main reason is that I saw that Tsui Hark did meet you just now, and then I was extremely dissatisfied with Li Yuchun's candidate. Therefore, even if he pretends to be stupid again, maybe he will hold his neck to find the important person at that time. Rather than this, it is better to show you sincerity first, if you can take it, I still hope that Mr. Jin can consider it. ”

Jin Zhongming shook his head firmly this time: "It's not that I shirked, you also said it, I have eye to eye for Director Xu, but the movie over there is not an ordinary commercial movie, and there are even serious political tasks in it...... After the movie was not finished, Ben and I didn't dare to leave Korea. ”

"That's a shame. Chen Yongxiong sighed. "It seems that I have to think of another way to appease Old Monster Xu. ”

"In that case, I wish "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and my "Melting Pot" success together!" Jin Zhongming raised his coffee cup and gestured to the other party.

"It's fine. Chen Yongxiong also raised his teacup.

In this way, the discussion about the film and the decline of the Hong Kong film industry seemed to end here, and even soon the two walked out of the office side by side, and only a calligraphy work called "Drifting with the Flow" was still quietly looking at the two teacups left on the desk.

The matter seemed to come to an end, and in the days that followed, Kim Jong-ming was based on the Bona headquarters in the East Third Ring Road, and began to brush his face everywhere.

I went to visit Zhu Jun once today, and tomorrow I accepted Zhu Jun's contact to participate in a talk show on a movie channel. The day after tomorrow, he went to visit Xu Jinglei again, and then turned around to the evening, Xu Jinglei invited him to dinner again, and then helped introduce some directors, screenwriters, and writers in Beijing.

Just like that, the so-called popularity basically opened, and soon many people in the capital knew that the actor from South Korea had a good level of Mandarin, and there was no shelf, and it seemed to be very open in South Korea.

And then? And then nothing.

There is no deep friendship, and there is nothing worth taking to heart, everyone just recognizes each other's faces. However, once there is a real need in the future, these face-brushing actions will play a real role.

After three or five days in a row, the negotiations have been reached in fact, and the three subsidiaries of Cube have obtained a total of 15% of the equity share of Bona, while Huber&Ranner has obtained 10% of the share of the three film and television subsidiaries of Cube and the difference is made up by cash. Of course, in the actual process, due to legal and income issues, there is a third-party registered leather bag investment company in the middle...... But to be honest, this one is too cumbersome and complicated, so there is no need to mention it.

There are two things that really need to be noted here.

The first one is the number of share swaps. 15% is a delicate number, because Bona has received financing from Sequoia Capital in the development process, which is already Yu Fatzi's heart disease now. Among them, there is a Chinese hidden rich man who directly obtained about 15% of the equity through Sequoia Capital, to be honest, this is not only a matter of heart, it has made Yu Fatzi, who has a strong desire to control, unbearable. And now, through a share swap, the billionaire's share has been successfully diluted to less than 15%, and it has fallen to the third position, replaced by an investment company wholly owned by three of Cube's three film and television subsidiaries, or Kim Jong-ming.

The second is that the way of share exchange is extremely safe, in other words, although Jin Zhongming holds 15% of the equity, it is much safer than those hidden behind Sequoia Capital. Because this is a share swap after all, the two sides hold each other just for the in-depth cooperation of the enterprise. Moreover, the two companies are one in South Korea and the other in China, and generally do not interfere with each other. When it really comes to the necessary time, as long as the two sides do not collapse, it can be easily acquired back.

So everyone was happy, especially after the fat man ran back from Nanjing with a haggard face and a divorce agreement, it couldn't be better. Among them, the Korean side is not enough, but I don't know how many employees of Bona who are waiting for the listing to be paid are excitedly cheering for the broken family of their boss.

The signing ceremony of the agreement was held in a grand manner, with flowers and champagne, reporters and stars, Bona's connections were vividly displayed at the ceremony, and half of the entertainment circles in the capital came to cheer, and Jin Zhongming even saw Han Sanye and Feng Xiaogang here for the first time. However, the two sides only nodded and exchanged contact information, and did not have a deep chat. Moreover, Jin Zhongming can also see that Director Feng, who has mixed in the Beijing Military Region, seems to be a little resistant to him, a Korean stick, and Han Sanye, who needs to take responsibility for cultural exchanges, is more enthusiastic about him...... All sorts of incidents, and so on.

However, there was one thing at this ceremony that he was a little unexpected-Yu Fatzi, who had just come back for less than a day, took Tsui Hark, and the two came together and officially invited him to take over the villain actor of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

"It's not that I'm shirking. Jin Zhongming was helpless, Tsui Hark was in front of him, he could only pretend that Yu Fat didn't know his reason, and then repeated what he had said to Chen Yongxiong.

"That's right. Yu Dong was the first to speak. "Since we are now a family, Mr. Jin, you have to think about it for everyone, this movie has an investment of 30 million US dollars, and the company is counting on this movie to get off to a good start for the listing......"

Jin Zhongming nodded, the reason is very good and powerful, he has also made a lot of money with the success of the listing here, which really makes people have nothing to say. But that wasn't enough to dispel his concerns about the Korean side, and he needed to give his all for The Crucible.

As soon as Yu Fatzi saw the perfunctory on Jin Zhongming's face, he understood that he couldn't convince the other party from his own point of view.

Therefore, Tsui Hark immediately took over: "I really want to cooperate with Mr. Kim Jong-ming, people may be so strange, if I hadn't thought of you as an actor prepared for me by Bona from the beginning that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't have too many thoughts." But...... There are some things that are hard to break free of once they are imprinted in the mind. ”

Jin Zhongming smiled bitterly, not to mention Tsui Hark, Chen Yongxiong said that they met when they met, that was the truth, but it was just ...... A thousand words and a sentence - "The Crucible" he can't break free.

And since the other party is so honest, Jin Zhongming did not cover it up anymore, but explained the movie "The Melting Pot" to the other party.

At first hearing this, Rao is Tsui Hark and Yu Dong were speechless after all kinds of life.

"So to speak. Jin Zhongming held the wine glass a little helplessly and added a few words: "It's really not that I shirk, but this matter is by no means just a matter involving political confrontation, there is another point in this that I can't let go of no matter what, that is, from top to bottom in this case, from the beginning to the end, there is no relevant person willing to say a word for the group of deaf and mute children who can't speak." Now, no matter what he is concerned about by this group of politicians for some other purpose, if it can make a difference, then I always have to do my best. After all, whether it is entrusted by others to be loyal, whether a little conscience is still there, or whether it is fulfilling the professional ethics of a filmmaker, the stakes are very high, and it is impossible for me to have any distractions. ”

Jin Zhongming's tone was a little helpless at first, it was pretended, because he was rejecting other people's invitations, but later, his tone was unusually firm, "The Crucible" was the one thing he put the most effort into, he didn't allow anything to go wrong, and he was willing to give up some other good opportunities for it.

"I see. Yu Dong was the first to react from his contemplation. "Now it seems that we are Meng Lang......"

Jin Zhongming resumed the gentle smiling face that was common at the banquet, and nodded at the other party: "Where ......?"

"That being said. Tsui Hark also suddenly spoke. "I'm looking forward to working with you even more. ”

"Director Xu......" Yu Dong was speechless, he felt that Tsui Hark was pumping his brain.

"If ......" Tsui Hark ignored Yu Dong, but looked at Jin Zhongming seriously and sincerely. "I'm willing to focus your scenes until after the beginning of spring next year, because according to you, that movie should be shot in the winter, right? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Yu Dong was dumbfounded, commercial film, the protagonist filmed halfway, framing, scheduling ...... In case the preparations for next year's Chinese New Year stalls cannot be completed, where can I find the 30 million US dollars? However, both Jin Zhongming and Tsui Hark ignored Yu Dong's meaning.

In fact, at this moment, Jin Zhongming has been staring at the famous director in front of him, and the two looked at each other for a long time before he lowered his head and took a sip of red wine: "I'm so worthy of Director Xu's expectations?"

Tsui Hark lowered his head and rubbed his shoe against the floor, then raised his head again: "It's really ...... At first sight, obsession flourishes. ”

"I see. ”
