After four years of rapid development, while the new art city has built a great reputation, the monolithic creative team "Seven Monsters of the new art city" has gradually begun to fall apart for various reasons.

First directed by Zeng Zhiwei, "Best Partner 2" failed at the box office, and Wang Zheng took the opportunity to bring Shaw Brothers. Closely followed Xu Ke's guidance of "Best Partner 3", due to the uneven distribution of interests, he left Xinyi City with his wife Shi Nansheng, and established a film studio with the support of Lei Juekun.

In 85 years, the new art city, which once forced the two giants Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest to join forces to fight, only Mecca, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, and Teddy Robin were left in the main creative team.

Among them, Teddy Robin does not have shares in Xinyicheng, and the three people who hold shares, Mecca, Shi Tian, and Huang Baiming, have been estranged due to the uneven distribution of shares, Wang Zheng only needs to take advantage of the situation to stir up one or two among the three, and Xinyicheng, which seems to have a strong momentum on the surface, is likely to fall apart.

Let Wu Yusen and Xu Ke be Shi Tian's lobbyists, even if Shi Tian chooses to reject the two old friends because of Xinyicheng, Wang Zheng has other means, even if he doesn't move, Hong Jinbao will help him mend the knife in the back.

Just as Wang Zheng was thinking about how to make Xinyicheng disintegrate in advance, the beautiful woman at the front desk of the company led a middle-aged man about fifty years old to the reception room.

The middle-aged man's burly figure has been blessed, and his fat face has a pair of flat eyes. Wang Zheng was a little familiar with this appearance, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and finally looked at the beautiful woman who had led people to the reception room without being announced.

The beauty front desk smiled sweetly and said crisply: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Ni Frame said that he was looking for you for something!"

Hearing the word Ni Frame, Wang Zheng instantly remembered who the middle-aged man in front of him was, only because he often saw photos of this talented man in newspapers and magazines, but he had never seen him in person, so he didn't recognize him at the first time.

"Mr. Ni Kuang is really a rare guest, please take a seat!"

Wang Zheng, who reacted, immediately stood up from the sofa, and while inviting Ni Frame to take a seat, he hurriedly said to the beautiful front desk: "Quick, go and bring my treasured tea." ”

Ni Frame didn't care about Wang Zheng's slow reaction, but smiled heartily, sat down on the sofa with a big knife, and said with a smile: "Good tea is not as good as good wine, if Wang Zheng Xiaoyou has a heart, it is better to take out the treasured good wine for me to taste and taste." ”

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, this Ni frame is really like an ancient dragon, he is as addicted to alcohol as he is, he doesn't drink tea in the daytime, but he is a guest, and the guest's requirements should be met, so he immediately changed his words to the beauty front desk: "Then bring the two bottles of XO wine I treasured, and take a little ice." ”

Hearing XO wine, Ni Kuang's eyes became bright, and even his throat couldn't help but float up and down.

The hands and feet of the beautiful woman at the front desk were very quick, and after a while, she brought over two bottles of XO wine and ice cubes together.

Seeing that Ni Frame looked like he was addicted to alcohol, Wang Zheng didn't talk nonsense, tore open the packaging of the wine bottle, put ice cubes into the crystal glass, and then poured amber XO foreign wine.

Pushed the poured wine in front of Ni Frame and said: "These two bottles of wine were given by Mr. Gu Long when he went to Treasure Island for filming last year, I am not a good wine person, and today I just used to entertain Mr. Ni Frame!"

Ni Frame picked up the amber XO wine, first took a sip of Xiao Yao, smashed his mouth, and then drank it all in one gulp, and praised it with a retrospective face: "Good wine!" I said how the taste is so familiar, it turned out to be Yaohua's collection. He smashed his mouth and said: "There have always been rumors in the Xiangjiang literary circle, saying that Wang Zheng Xiaoyou is an amazing young talent, not only can he write, but the script is also first-class, but when I see it today, Xiaoyou is not like the rumor, he is a literati of my generation!"

Wang Zheng helped the wine glass in front of him to refill, and said with a smile: "It's just a small article and script, of course, it can't be compared with Mr. Ni Frame's "Wesley" series. ”

Ni Frame waved his hand and smiled: "No, no, it is not true that Wang Zheng Xiaoyou is not like a literati, it is not that your script is not well written, but that you are not good at the things in the cup, which is very different from the literati of my generation." ”

Although Wang Zheng never considered himself a literati, he was very curious about Ni Quan's statement and asked, "I don't know what the difference is?"

Ni Frame drank the wine in the toast in one gulp, wiped the wine stains on his lips, and laughed: "In ancient times, there was a poet and immortal Taibai who raised a glass to invite the bright moon, and now there is an ancient dragon who has expanded the rivers and lakes to carry wine, but Wang Zheng Xiaoyou is not good at this cup, and he does not have the demeanor of my generation of literati at all." ”

Wang Zheng smiled embarrassedly, immediately poured a full glass for himself, and drank it all with Ni Frame's wine glass.

In front of Ni Frame, one of the four great talents of Xiangjiang, although Wang Zheng met him for the first time, he was very familiar with his deeds.

Like Gu Long, Ni Frame also has three hobbies, one is wine, the second is cigarettes, and the third is women. is different from Gu Long's stable growth experience, Ni Frame's growth experience is much more exciting.

In the late 50s and early 60s, Ni Huan, who was born in Jiangsu Province and was assigned to Inner Mongolia to manage prisoners in labor reform, was imprisoned for 10 years for demolishing wooden bridges for heating and keeping wolf dogs privately.

Riding horses, pickpocketing trains, and taking boats, he fled all the way to Shanghai, from Shanghai to Guangzhou, from Guangzhou to Macao, and finally from Macao to Xiangjiang. Thanks to his skill in carving seals, it would have been difficult to hide from the customs.

Such a tragic experience that Ni Frame's Zhong did not shy away from expressing his dissatisfaction with the mainland, except for these, Wang Zheng's impression of him was not bad.

"I came uninvited this time, I was entrusted by Yaohua, and I heard that Wang Zheng Xiaoyou wanted to co-produce a movie with Baolong Film Company, but I don't know which of Yaowah's works is a remake. ”

A cup of spicy XO wine went down, and Ni Frame expressed his intention this time.

Wang Zheng and Ni Frame didn't know each other, and they didn't have a relationship, so they could only find Zheng Fei Xingwei's headquarters, but they could only be entrusted by Gu Daxia. He had been prepared for this for a long time, and immediately replied: "The Sword of the Third Young Master." This work is Mr. Gu Long's most recent work, and it is also one of my personal favorites. ”

Ni Frame sighed lightly when he heard this, and said: "Indeed, this work is Yaohua's most proud work except for "Chu Liuxiang", but it's a pity that Yaohua is already bedridden, and even his disciple Ding Qing has to ghostwrite the creation. ”

Wang Zheng was stunned and asked, "Is Mr. Gu Long's condition already so serious?"

Ni Huan waved his hand, unwilling to talk more about Gu Long's condition, took a sip of XO wine, and said: "As far as I know, Shaw Brothers remade this work by director Qu Yuan in 77, after such a short time, Wang Zheng Xiaoyou will remake it again, I'm afraid it will be bad for the final box office, right?"

Wang Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about this Mr. Ni Frame, my version of this remake is very different from that of Director Qu Yuan, and the final box office depends on whether the audience likes my storytelling technique this time." ”

Ni Frame nodded and said with a faint smile: "You are the director, you have the final say on how to shoot, and I will not interfere." This time, I came mainly to discuss cooperation matters on behalf of Baolong Film Company, investment, box office, and how to distribute it in the end. ”

How to distribute, Wang Zheng had a preliminary discussion with Gu Long a year ago. In the face of Ni Frame's inquiry, Wang Zheng briefly described it again: "The distribution is very simple, half of the investment is for one person, and half of the box office income is also for one person." After a pause, he said: "Because Mr. Gu Long is ill, Zheng Fei Xingwei is willing to give up the copyright and video tape income of this play, which is owned by Mr. Gu Long himself or Baolong Film Company." ”

Ni Frame smiled: "Then I will thank Wang Zheng Xiaoyou for Yaohua's kindness, since the matter is over, after I convey Yaohua, I will come to visit Xiaoyou!"

After Ni Frame finished speaking, he got up to say goodbye, Wang Zheng hurriedly followed Xiang Xiang, came to the door of the company, and said: "Thank you Mr. Ni Frame for working hard to go back and forth, just because I can't go to Treasure Island now, otherwise I can go to Treasure Island to meet Mr. Gu Long and visit." ”

Ni Frame seemed to know the reason why Wang Zheng couldn't go to the treasure island, so he said lightly: "Wang Zheng Xiaoyou is a rare outstanding director in Xiangjiang, don't ruin your talent because of bureaucratic capitalism, it's better to stay away from those corrupt bureaucrats!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Zheng to answer, turned around and sat in the back seat of the car that was waiting on the side of the road, and left.

Wang Zheng naturally knew the meaning of his insinuating words, but just looked at the shadow of the car in the distance and smiled disapprovingly.
