For a director who can only be regarded as a newcomer, suddenly getting the opportunity to direct a blockbuster is tantamount to pie in the sky, and Du Qifeng feels like this.

Before this, even he didn't dare to imagine that one day Zhang Xiaoye would take the initiative to find him and invite him to shoot a work aimed at the international market, with a budget similar to "Ace Agent", nearly 10 million US dollars.

"Zhang Sheng, don't worry, I will never let you down. Although he was very apprehensive in his heart, Du Qifeng still gritted his teeth and agreed, who would want to miss such an opportunity.

In fact, he was quite bottomless in his heart, what should he do if such a high budget was messed up? Before meeting Zhang Xiaoye, he also went to talk to Wang Tianlin and asked his master's opinion.

Wang Tianlin had a lot of dealings with Zhang Xiaoye, and he knew him very well, so he said directly: "Pick it up, why don't you pick it up, if you think this is a hot potato, then you don't know Zhang Xiaoye too well." ”

If he were to change someone and be ready to invest 10 million US dollars directly, Du Qifeng would really not dare to accept it now, because he couldn't afford to lose it, and he didn't have the confidence to be able to play, and it would have been too difficult to earn back so much investment.

Xiangjiang shoots so many movies every year, not to mention such a big cost, and the total box office can not reach this number, so far only Zhang Xiaoye in Xiangjiang can play such a big deal.

Wang Tianlin said: "Anyone who has worked with Zhang Xiaoye knows that his scripts have always been storyboards, and the operation mode is more like Hollywood's producer mode, he has the final say on how to shoot, and you, the director, are just going to carry out the process." ”

"I know your abilities very well, and of course there is no problem in doing this, so there is nothing to worry about at all. And since Zhang Xiaoye is in the morning, he will give you absolute trust, Lin Zhenying, Huang Baiming and others before are like this, the person he chooses will have absolute trust, even if it is lost, there is no need to worry about anything, you don't need to be responsible. ”

A long talk completely made Du Qifeng have no worries, so after seeing Zhang Xiaoye's promise, Zhang Xiaoye smiled and said: "Du Sheng, there is another thing, you should be free now, right?"

Du Qifeng's experience is also quite in line with a legend, he was also a student of the wireless artist training class at the beginning, ran for a while, and after graduation, he felt that he had no future as an actor, so he moved behind the scenes, worshiped Wang Tianlin as a teacher, and started from an assistant director step by step.

The title of assistant director sounds very good, but in fact, it is almost the same as a miscellaneous job, and it is not easy to get to the point where he is now, not to mention that Zhang Xiaoye knows better how far he can go.

Du Qifeng has no contract, and the opportunity for Shaw Brothers to develop in the film industry is gone, if you want to develop in the film industry, you can only leave, he nodded, Zhang Xiaoye continued: "So are you interested in joining our Shining Film Studio?"

"It is my honor that Zhang Sheng values me so much. Du Qifeng nodded busily in agreement, he is thirty years old this year, and he looks like a junior in front of Zhang Xiaoye.

This is called happiness coming too suddenly, Du Qifeng's excitement was overflowing, Zhang Xiaoye smiled and said: "Then welcome to join us Shine Film Studio, find a time for us to sign the contract first, before preparing for Thunderbolt, you prepare and follow me to the premiere of Die Hard." ”

Du Qifeng is also the first time to participate in such an occasion, his only connections are in TVB and Shaw Brothers, the former is playing TV series, and the latter has long been lonely, and it can be said that it is the only company that has not held a grand premiere at present.

Golden Harvest has a blessed star series of bright stars, and "Best Partner" in New Art City is not far behind, although Shaw Brothers has also made a lot of movies in the past two years, but there is no masterpiece to carry the masterpiece, and it has not reached the specifications if you want to make a big fanfare.

Entering the Shining Film Studio and following Zhang Xiaoye to the premiere ceremony can be regarded as a real connection with the film industry for Du Qifeng, if it weren't for this, it would take time to work hard if he wanted to gain attention and affirmation.

Bigwigs like Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, popular superstars like Chenlong, Hong Jingbao, and Yuan Biao, he has finally met them all over again, he and Zhong Chuhong are already old acquaintances, but now Zhong Chuhong is no longer the same, and he is also very embarrassed to think about him.

Stars need exposure, and movies need hype boo, so Zhang Xiaoye also called all the women in the family to join in the fun this time, and it is also very important for them to walk the red carpet Bobo version, tomorrow the newspaper can report who will cheer for "Die Hard", why not do a win-win thing.

Even Zhang Xiaoxian was invited to participate in the ceremony as Zhang Xiaoye's girlfriend, which was the first time, except for saying nothing in front of reporters, and Chenlong, these bad friends and people in the circle, but they all announced the identity of their girlfriends.

Having said that, Zhang Xiaoxian didn't pester him, followed one by one and said hello, and shrunk aside with Zhou Huimin, Luo Meiwei and others, knowing that he still had business, so he didn't bother.

Today's Du Qifeng is dressed very formally, and it can be seen that he is very cautious about this, Zhang Xiaoye pulled him over and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Du Qifeng, the director of our new film." Brother Du, Huizhong, you've seen it before, this is Yang Ziqiong, and Yang Lijing, that is, the three heroines of our movie. ”

This is the first time that the creators of "Breaking Baby" have met, Zhang Xiaoye introduced them to each other, and then arranged some specific matters, and saw Lin Qingxia holding her hands and looking at him with ill will.

"You communicate by yourself, and everything about filming in the future will be arranged by Brother Du. Zhang Xiaoye threw down this sentence, walked up to Lin Qingxia with a scowl and said, "Sister Qingxia, you're here, I haven't seen you for a long time, hug me." ”

"Do you dare to have something fresh?" Lin Qingxia looked at him angrily, he grinned, and said, "Fresh, I'm afraid you'll beat me." Sister Qingxia, I haven't seen you for a few days and developed again, come and touch ......."

"Fuck off, my wife is thirty years old, you tell me about development, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'm not done with you. Lin Qingxia had a cold face and was not polite at all.

"It's not just thirty, I remember all thirty-one. You're thirty-one years old and haven't been developed, so you haven't developed a second time at all, which is also normal. Zhang Xiaoye continued to die, while Du Qifeng and Yang Lijing were dumbfounded.

It is estimated that Zhang Xiaoye is the only one in the world who dares to tease Lin Qingxia like this, Yang Lijing can be regarded as further understanding the thoughts instilled in her by Wang Zuxian, and Du Qifeng also understands Wang Tianlin's words even more, Zhang Xiaoye is actually very easy to get along with, but she is too romantic.
