Chapter 111 "The Good Man of the Three Gorges"
"Director Jia, sit down and talk. Wang dreamed that Jia Zhangke seemed to be contemplating.
Immediately, he invited Jia Zhangke to talk about it in detail.
"Good. ”
Jia Zhangke did not refuse, and found a corner with Wang Meng and sat down.
……
The crowd on the side saw this scene......
"What's the matter?, Lao Jia and Wang Meng still know each other?" Lu Chuan asked Feng Xiaoning on the side.
Feng Xiaoning and Wang Xiaoshuai were also very surprised, Wang Xiaoshuai said: "I heard that Lao Jia is filming "East". But there seems to be another plan, it's a set, it's an emotional realistic humanistic film. You said it wouldn't be looking for Wang Meng to invest, right?"
Feng Xiaoning was stunned for a moment and said: "It's really possible, Wang Meng's "Crazy Stone" has made a lot of money this time, and there are two spare money." I think Lao Jia is the idea, I heard that Lao Jia and Ning Hao have a good relationship, and it seems to have a connection with Wang Meng, right?"
Lu Chuan was also puzzled, and said: "It should be like this, this Wang Meng from "This Man is from the Earth" to "Crazy Stone" is all taking a commercial path, making money first, Lao Jia asked him to invest in realistic humanities films, will he agree?"
Wang Xiaoshuai thought for a while and felt that it was right, but did not speak.
However, Feng Xiaoning, who has a bit of inside information, said: "This is not necessarily, maybe young people have a hot mind and think they are very discerning? I also heard that Lao Jia's plan is not a high investment." is a simple realistic film, continuing Lao Jia's usual style, I heard that Lao Jia is very serious, and he wants to win an award with this film. Maybe as soon as Lao Jia flickered, Wang Meng agreed?"
As soon as Feng Xiaoning said it, everyone thought it was really possible.
"Don't say it, maybe you will agree, Lao Jia has found the fat sheep this time. Lu Chuan said.
At this moment, before Jia Zhangke became famous in "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", there were indeed not many films worth remembering.
is nothing more than a "Xiao Wu" that has gained some fame, "Xiaoshan Goes Home", etc., does not have much fame.
And this life is not like the previous life, the shooting conditions in this life are very wide.
In this life, Jia Zhangke does not need to shoot secretly, and it is indeed less than the requirement that he was banned from filming many times in his previous life.
"It would be good if Lao Jia really succeeded! At least, if we need to invest, maybe we will try it too. A few days ago, the newspaper praised DreamWorks, saying that a group of people with dreams gathered, this reputation went out, Wang Meng refused, okay?" Feng Xiaoning muttered.
Obviously, the three of them at this moment regard Wang Meng as the wronged leader.
The other side......
"Why Xiao Xu, stunned by Wang Meng's handsomeness?" Hu Mei teased.
Hu Mei said: "I saw him at the college student film festival some time ago, this guy is really a pity, he is a good material for singing as an actor! He made a lot of money investing in "Crazy Stone", and this guy is really lucky. ”
Hu Mei, born in Beijing in 1958, is currently a national first-class director of China Film Group. She is one of the few outstanding female directors in China. The film works he directed include "Urban Gunman", "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Qiao's Courtyard", "Loyalty" and so on.
It's not very famous in front of the audience, but it's very famous in the director's circle.
"It can't be said that he is lucky, this Wang Meng is still very discerning. Whether it's a movie or a comic, it's very powerful, and if you don't have any strength, you can't rely on luck alone. "It was Li Shaohong who spoke, and this is definitely a well-known female director in China.
Xu Jinglei smiled and said: "No, I just think that this guy is very right, it may be an illusion." ”
"Haha, it's not right, he's a talent, you're a talent, if you weren't more than ten years older than him, I think you two are really a good match. Li Shaohong teased.
"Teacher Li, come and laugh at me again. Xu Jinglei smiled.
……
After Jia Zhangke and Wang Meng, who came to the side, sat down, Wang Meng said:
"Director Jia. I heard that you've been directing "East" lately, how is the filming going?
Jia Zhangke smiled and said, "It's almost a little fight, it's almost over, and I'm waiting for the later stage, so I have time to participate in this party." ”
Then he smiled and said: "It's Wang Dao and Lao Ning's stones that are greedy, this is all going for 50 million, right? It's amazing, Lao Ning used to always ask me for relief, this time I want to look up to him." I heard Lao Ning say that Director Wang has a lot of support for Lao Ning, and Lao Ning has met a confidant. ”
"If I don't deserve it, I'll just give some money, and then ......" Wang Meng smiled and said to Jia Zhangke: "I envy Director Jia's artistic spirit, I'm a little cheesy, and I fell into the eye of money." Just like Director Jia said about the confidant, I actually want to have a confidant like Director Jia, I can edify it, haha......"
Speaking good things, Wang Meng has already practiced it.
By the way, I am also very optimistic about you, I really want to make friends with you, and if you have a good theme in the future, I can also invest, right?
Jia Zhangke was very comfortable to listen to, he is the standard literary and artistic supremacy.
Actually, Wang Meng admires such a person very much.
"This is easy to say, don't you know each other, and you have become friends, as long as Director Wang doesn't dislike me, a young man. Jia Zhangke also has a purpose, and if he makes friends at will, he will also open his mouth.
"That's good, I recognize Director Jia's friend, as long as Director Jia has friendly ideas, even if he comes to me, I will definitely support those who can support him. Wang Meng immediately revealed his thoughts, and Jia Zhangke was happy in one sentence.
But......
Jia Zhangke was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to say it.
This is a disease, Wen Qing is sick, I feel that I can't say anything about attracting investment, and I just met, right?
Now I really want to get you some money, I can't open my mouth.
And Wang Mengle is happy, there is a play.
In 06, Jia Zhangke's "East" was finished, and the only thing left was "The Good Man of the Three Gorges"?
Wang Meng thought to himself, he must not let the meat in his mouth fly.
Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film. -- Best Picture, not Best Director.
In other words, whoever invests in the company wins the award, isn't this a pie in the sky?
In his previous life, he invested in a small company, so it was Jia Zhangke who received the award.
If you make your own investment in this life, isn't it yourself who lifts the trophy at the Golden Lion Award?
Chiguoguo's reputation, God appreciates food, can you do it.
So after Wang Meng saw the embarrassed Jia Zhangke, he said very heroically: "Does Director Jia have an idea, if he has, just say it, I can definitely help, you also know that my company has just been established, and I really need a director like Director Jia, and I also hope that Director Jia can give my small company some reputation." ”
This is very thorough, Jia Zhangke would be stupid if he didn't agree.
So he said gratefully: "Director Wang, I won't tell you, I really have ideas, but ......"
"Then say, but what?" Wang Meng was very anxious,
Jia Zhangke said: "However, there are no big names and no publicity topics, it is difficult to make money, and there are ......"
"What else, just say it. Wang Meng urged.
Jia Zhangke gritted his teeth and said: "Also, this is my consistent style, realistic humanistic films, which can also be said to be emotional films!"
When he says this, Jia Zhangke is embarrassed, there is no big name and no publicity topic, it is still a documentary, and the typical standard is to lose money!
But when Wang Meng heard it, it was the opposite.
That's right!
You said that I really don't dare to invest in anything else, it's right that there are no big names in realistic emotional films......
