Chapter Forty-Nine: Hold on to the Last House
"Really, I happen to be in Hong Kong, and I can do it whenever I want. Ning Hao thought about it, if Yingyi Entertainment really had the distribution qualification, it would be an excellent opportunity for him.
"Well, I'll send you the contact information of my senior sister in a while, her name is Holly, she is very optimistic about you! Chen Yanxi said expectantly, "Okay, I won't bother you, bye." ”
"Well, thank you, Yeon-se. Bye. Ning Hao smiled, hung up the phone, look, it's another opportunity! So, as long as you don't give up, the opportunity is always waiting for you around the corner.
After Ning Hao put away his mobile phone, Fang Cun, who was paralyzed on the side, suddenly came over and looked at Ning Hao with a suspicious expression: "I heard me right just now, you said that you were looking for a film company to release a film?
Ning Hao nodded, there was nothing to hide from this, and said calmly: "Yes, I shot a DV movie before, and I recently came to Hong Kong to find a company to release it." ”
After speaking, Ning Hao walked to the counter and began to greet guests again.
Fang Cun touched his chin, looked at Ning Hao with a complicated face, and came to the front together, but soon regained his poisonous tongue: "Hey, man, I think you must have been frustrated, and you were ruthlessly rejected by those film companies......?"
Ning Hao shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "You said it well. ”
"I know, Ning Hao, how can it be so easy to make a movie!" Fang Cun looked like he was not as I expected, borrowed cooked food with one hand, and began to chop up with the other, looking like a person who had come over, "I wasn't like you at the beginning, full of fighting spirit and passion, full of so-called dreams, and ran to the crew film and television city, but what happened? ”
Quickly cut a plate of cooked food, wrapped it with sauce, threw it to Ning Hao's side, and continued: "I have already seen through it, the film industry is an extremely arrogant place, and they will not give a rookie a chance." Especially you are a stunned young man who is poor and white, and has nothing but dreams. Don't tell me you're talented, it's all a liar! How many of the tens of thousands of people can get away with it?"
"Dreams? That's not something anyone can achieve. Fang Cun began to chop again.
"I don't care, how do I know if I can't achieve it if I don't work hard?" Ning Hao said in a firm tone, but Fang Cun on the side expressed his disdain by continuing to chop meat.
Looking at Fang Cun, Ning Hao suddenly asked, "Then how many crews have you been to?"
"Five or six. Fang Cun said casually, looking a little impatient.
Ning Hao laughed, handed him a large piece of beef, and said, "Let me tell you, I have been to no less than five cities, and as for the film company, there are dozens of records, and I will go to the next one soon." ”
Fang Cun's hand chopping meat paused, as if it was piercing the heart, snorted, didn't look back, chopped a few times harder, and said angrily: "Ning Hao, then I will also tell you, you will have a next time, next time, then you will know how stupid you are now." We weren't doomed. ”
"Next time, next time, next time, next time......" Ning Hao didn't care at all, and said deliberately according to the rhythm of chopping meat, "Next...... Next time, look, my dreams will always come true!"
Fang Cun looked at the kitchen knife that stopped in his hand, panted, and shouted, "Hmph, I see how many times you can hold on!"
"One last time, until the one that succeeds!" Ning Hao replied firmly, and then threw another piece of cooked food over.
"Da da!" Fang Cun slammed the chopping board until he was tired and couldn't move his wrist, then he stopped panting, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes, "Bastard, damn bastard." Your dreams will come to an end sooner or later!"
……
Ying Yi Entertainment Co., Ltd., founded by Asian superstar Mr. Andy Lau, focuses on film investment and production. This year, Yingyi Entertainment is still in the early stage of development, and has even just obtained the distribution qualification.
Although the scale of the company is not large, due to Liu Tianwang, the future potential is unlimited. Moreover, Liu Tianwang was originally a plan to support emerging Asian directors.
On this day, Ning Hao sat in the screening hall of the headquarters of Yingyi Entertainment under Dongqing's arrangement.
You Ping, the manager of the distribution department, Dong Qing, the manager of the film purchase department, and Jiang Fang, the production manager, gathered together, although the three of them are young and young, they are definitely heavyweights of Yingyi Entertainment, and they are all staring at the screen intently.
Ning Hao sat on the very edge, observing the reactions of the three of them.
I chatted very happily with Dongqing on the phone before, one was Chen Yanxi's relationship, and the other reason, after all, Ning Hao was also a fellow student of USC, and after reading Ning Hao's script in advance, Dongqing became more and more optimistic about his junior.
Therefore, Dongqing attached great importance to Ning Hao's arrival, and the three managers appeared together to review his movie.
Moreover, since the beginning, they were ready to watch the whole film, and they watched it very seriously, and the whole process was not interrupted, and as the plot progressed, they were reluctant to interrupt. Laughter rang out from time to time in the screening room.
Finally, at the end of the movie, Huang Bo crawled out of the manhole and was so hungry that he smashed the scene of the bakery, and then it was the scene that amazed countless people, running away and chasing the camera!
You Ping looked at Huang Bo's acting skills and stood up in shock, Jiang Fang also tried his best to hold back, but in the end, it was still hahahaha!
"This, this is really exciting!" As the movie ended, Dongqing glanced at Ning Hao with a slightly cool neutral charm, obviously this junior didn't disgrace her, at least, worthy of her high recommendation.
Dongqing took the lead and applauded: "Ning Hao, this is really exciting, how did you come up with it!"
Jiang Fang also rubbed her tired cheeks, and looked at Ning Hao in disbelief: "Young man, your film is really going to make me laugh to death." Especially the black-skinned characters in it are really amazing. ”
"Thank you. Ning Hao smiled, Ning Hao was naturally very happy to be praised by them, but his heart was still hanging, after all, he hadn't been praised before, but he was still 108,000 miles away from the final release!
And many times, good word-of-mouth does not mean good box office, especially Ning Hao's own hard wounds, so Ning Hao still keeps calm.
Sure enough, Jing Guan was hurt by Le's laughter, but Jiang Fang still frowned and said, "It's just that young director, I can't be sure of the market ......."
She rubbed her apple muscles and said helplessly: "I agree that this is not an excellent movie, but compared with the big productions of the same period, he does not have an absolute advantage, especially in publicity, and the picture quality of this movie is too poor, in the same situation, anyone will choose a clearer film with a stable lens." Moreover, this movie is really not much topical in terms of casting. ”
Just before Jiang Fang finished speaking, Dongqing on the side directly interrupted: "Hey! Jiang Fang, have you forgotten our company's current big strategy! It is to find and support young directors! Isn't this the best case, and I think this movie must have a market! With his wonderfulness, I think he can become a box office dark horse by virtue of word of mouth! Believe me, this kind of narrative structure, this kind of black humor, will definitely make people crazy! Especially when it comes from a director who is under the age of eighteen!"
"Yes, Ning Hao itself is the biggest topic!" You Ping on the side also answered!
