Chapter 163: The Birth of the Goddess of Literature and Art

"Sister Hua" Wang Jinhua came, endured her anger and entered Xu Teng's penthouse apartment, glanced at it with a capable and atmospheric look, and understood in her heart that the director Xu Teng, whom Gu Xueli was prevaricating, was not very rich, at most he won the trust of Chen Daqiao, chairman of Shenzhou Film and Television.

For Xu Teng, Wang Jinhua has actually heard of it for a long time, after all, he is the first agent in the mainland, and he knows that Xu Teng's science fiction novels are very popular and have a lot of sales in Europe and the United States, and he also knows that Xu Teng was excavated by director Li Anda and made a science fiction movie in Hollywood.

A few months ago, she also planned to contact Xu Teng and dig up the Huayi Brokerage Culture Company, which she and Huayi jointly established, but later felt that Shenzhou Media was fierce, and the advertising resources given to Xu Teng were not simple, so she did not do so.

There was no one in Xu Teng's house, and the two young maids who opened the door for Wang Jinhua were waitresses selected from Ruilin Mansion, one of whom was a graduate of the secondary school health school, had received complete and strict vocational training, and was very decent, leading Wang Jinhua upstairs.

A lot of things are just a small detail.

The waitress's every move made Wang Jinhua feel strange, feeling that the other party was like a hotel manager or something.

Qin Hailuo and this sister Hua have had several contacts, after all, they are both figures in the Beijing film and television industry, so they introduced Xu Teng and Wang Jinhua, and the three of them were very polite to each other.

Xu Teng is a little absent-minded, he has a lot of thoughts, and he is still thinking about the matter of getting together three dans and one ice, and he wants to create the four queens, four goddesses, and four cash cows of Shenzhou Film and Television, which is what it means, anyway.

The key is to have the top public relations planning team to carry out complete image planning and promotion for the four queens, the seven golden hairpins, and the national goddesses. The same goes for male stars, the packaging is in place, and they are all cash cows.

"Mr. Xu, I came from Vice Chairman Gu Xueli, and she said that there are some things that only you can decide, so I came here to pay a visit and hope to talk to you about something. Wang Jinhua is really polite, every word is very clear, soft and rigid, neither humble nor arrogant, but it is also very comfortable to listen to.

"Sister Hua, let's talk about one thing first. Xu Teng must emphasize again, "I am really not Mr. Xu, I feel that I am not so old and not so ruthless." I am a small director in Shenzhou Film and Television Group, you can just call me Xiao Xu. ”

"Sister Hua, he has a lot of nicknames, a great writer, a male god, a little prince, Xu Shen, you have to shout Mr. Xu, how cheesy. Qin Hailuo poured tea for Wang Jinhua affectionately, and helped Wang Jinhua tease Xu Teng with a smile, as if she and Wang Jinhua were best friends.

"Okay, I'll call you Director Xu, in fact, the title is secondary, and you are in charge of the artist brokerage contract business of Shenzhou Film and Television after all. Wang Jinhua is still really polite, her words and demeanor are very respectful to Xu Teng, she is really not sure what Xu Teng's identity is now.

"I came this time, also on behalf of Huayi Film and Television, to tell you something for Mr. Wang. In business, the big fish eat the small fish, but if the big fish fight each other, it will hurt us. You have to stare at us to dig people, the two can only give each other a higher price for the actors, and it hurts the capital of our two families. Our Mr. Wang's meaning is very simple, I hope to be friends with Director Xu, the well water does not interfere with the river water, the friendship lasts forever, and the harmony makes money. ”

Wang Jinhua is worthy of being the No. 1 gold medal agent in the mainland, with great authority, as long as she wants to eat in the mainland film and television industry, everyone has to give her a little face, and these words are also both restrained and domineering.

"Oh. Xu Teng didn't speak, drank tea quietly, and thought for a moment, "The actresses in my hand are definitely enough, the lineup is very good, and it is not cost-effective to continue to poach people at a high price, but I still can't agree to your mention immediately." ”

On the actress's side, Wang Jinhua still has a piece of ice in her hand, and the two goddesses Xu and Zhao, whom Xu Teng recently planned to dig up, are not stars under her and Huayi Group.

"Because there are a few actors from Chinese opera over there who have a good relationship with us, they are all friends who help introduce us in the middle, and we don't offer a high price, so now it's all left to sign and announce. ”

Xu Teng doesn't like to embarrass others at home, and he said very politely, "But since you came over and said this in person, then I must say hello, after these people have negotiated, we will deal with it silently and will not announce it, and then it will end here, as long as it is Sister Hua's person, I will not move." ”

As the saying goes, the northern shadow produces the goddess, and the Chinese drama produces the male god.

There are really not many female stars in Chinese opera, and the seven golden hairpins are the most peak Chinese opera actresses in these years, and the male stars of Chinese opera are different, wave after wave, from Cheng Daoming in the 79th session, to Uncle Jiang in the 80th session, and then to Hu Hui, Xia Yu, Liu Ye, etc., there are countless others.

Several of them are under Wang Jinhua's banner, and they have really been negotiated, and they are all helped by Zeng Quinoa, Mei Yao, and Qin Hailuo, the seven golden hairpins, Xu Teng's investment is large, the price is high, coupled with interpersonal relationships, it is a matter of course to dig up this group of Chinese opera actors.

"Then tell me which ones, if it's not too much, I won't stop it, so I can get together and disperse. Wang Jinhua said that she would not stop it, how could it be possible, the last fight, you have to keep people by playing the emotional card.

"Sister Hua, aren't you asking knowingly, Xia Yu and Liu Ye, you definitely can't keep it, one is good with Yuan Xiang, and the other is a classmate Yuan Xiang, it's impossible not to come." Brother Hu Hui...... You can't keep it. "Qin Hailuo is a false accusation, half of the matter was done by her, Yuan Yu didn't care about it at all, she didn't plan to jump from Sister Hua at first, but she was persuaded by Zhang Ziyi and Qin Hailuo.

"This can't be like this, great writer...... Xu Shen, if you do this, you will really break the rules. "Wang Jinhua really didn't plan to be angry, she was the No. 1 gold medal agent in the mainland, Hu Jing left from her side, she didn't care at all, Yuan Yang and Lin Bingbing's termination and departure were a little hurt.

Cheng Daoming said hello and left, which hurt her even more, not only sad, but also her status in the film and television industry.

If Hu Hui, Xia Yu, and Liu Ye are all gone, the four biggest male stars in her hand will be dug up, and the remaining Yin Xiaochen and Zhu Yuchen will also come out of Chinese drama.

The northern shadow is a goddess, and the Chinese drama is a male god, this is not nonsense.

"So, that's what I'm talking about. According to Gu Xueli's meaning, the plan is to let these Chinese opera male gods and the seven golden hairpins under Shenzhou Media attend the signing ceremony together, get a Chinese opera gang, and have a long-term stable camp, which is convenient for the male and female stars who sign Chinese opera contracts in the future.

It's not good, in the end, even Uncle Jiang can sign it.

Under normal circumstances, these are trivial things that don't need Xu Teng to worry about, Gu Xueli is now pushing the trouble to Xu Teng, which is to cause trouble and find criticism.

Therefore, Gu Xueli probably just wants Xu Teng to delay time, she should be urgently sending people to take action, immediately find a few male stars, sign a contract today, give more termination money and signing fees, so as not to have a long night and dreams, and resolutely not give Wang Jinhua a chance to fight back.

"Great writer, there are always rules on this road, if you want to play like this, the market is chaotic, we are not happy, and you don't want to be happy. It is impossible for Wang Jinhua to agree to Xu Teng's words, what is the end of this, it has been dug up by Xu Teng, there is no need to dig anymore, and then talk about peaceful coexistence with her and Huayi Group, which is shameless enough.

"Sister Hua, you are discouraged. Qin Hailuo laughed with her, she did everything, but she wanted to pretend to be a good person here, pretend to be innocent, and bury Xu Teng, "Brother-in-law, you see that you will be angry with your sister, and your words will not go well." ”

This girl is indeed a thorn, she is not polite to talk to anyone, and she often satirizes Xu Teng directly, but she is really righteous, among the seven golden hairpins, she is the most righteous, and she has helped Xu Teng a lot.

"It's really not right on my part. Xu Teng sighed and sent a cup of tea to Wang Jinhua, "Sister Hua, don't worry. ”

"Can I not be in a hurry? Great writer, I started to be an agent in 90, and I am the oldest qualified in this industry, and there are many rules, which I have set for my peers. ”

Hearing that Xu Teng was going to poach Hu Hui, Wang Jinhua was really angry, "It's too late to stop this matter, otherwise, I will also quote a high price for your star, and we will lose each other." ”

"Sister Hua, you really can't do this, if you burn money compared to a big writer, you will burn Huayi out, and it won't be cost-effective. Qin Hailuo is still here to continue to pretend to be a good person, "Besides, how hard we actors are, you two should give more money and take a small share." ”

Xu Teng estimated that he really couldn't do anything today, unlocked the phone, flipped through the text messages, and there was still no news from Zeng Quinoa and Xia Li, so he put the phone down again, drank tea, held his forehead and thought, and didn't talk to Wang Jinhua.

Nothing to say.

The size of the capital is not at one level.

He doesn't speak, Wang Jinhua has to speak, he says all the good and bad things, and he goes around and around, Liu Ye definitely can't keep it, and she doesn't care anymore, Hu Hui and Xia Yu have won the actor, and they are not allowed to dig it.

Otherwise, she also used Huayi's funds to poach Xu Teng's stars.

From beginning to end, she got one thing wrong, and for Xu Teng, these things were not worth asking about at all.

Anyway, she saw that Xu Teng lived in a place like the penthouse of Boya Apartment, he must be rich, but he was not too rich, he should be a minority shareholder of Shenzhou Film and Television Group, working for Chen Daqiao.

This went on for another half hour.

Xu Teng finally didn't have the patience to delay his time, and cleaned up the teapot and sent it off, "Sister Hua, I still say the same thing, since I have promised others, then I have to sign, after these few signings, we will not violate the river water, and I will not dig up your actors again." ”

"No way, how can there be such a good thing, you guys played so hard when you first arrived, something happened, don't blame us. Wang Jinhua was ruthless, and her heart was uncomfortable.

"Sister Hua, if you really have a way, can you talk nonsense with me for a long time?" Xu Teng was quite disdainful, "Gu Xueli is teasing you, how the company operates, I don't ask at all, at most I just write a script to play and pass the boring time." If you want to talk about female stars, I like to sign in to the company to take care of them, and the affairs of male stars have nothing to do with me. ”

He himself couldn't help but want to laugh when he said it later, but he laughed and had an accident.

"You just ask about these things, then why don't you say it earlier, play me!" Wang Jinhua was angry, snapped, raised her hand and smashed the purple sand teacup she was holding, and pointed at Xu Teng, "I sue you, this matter is not over, you let that Gu Xueli wait." ”

Xu Teng was silent, his face was ugly, this was the rain open-air star beam pot he took out to entertain Zhang Ji, the posthumous work of Master Gu Jingzhou, and Zhang Yimou gave it, and it was a complete set.

Wang Jinhua didn't care about this, and she didn't expect it, so she turned around angrily and left.

Qin Hailuo was stunned, she knew that these things Xu Teng played with were quite valuable, and they were one of the several sets of cultural toys he liked very much, so she hurriedly helped him pick up all the pieces of the Zisha teacup, and accidentally cut her fingertips, and she didn't dare to say anything.

"Forget it, don't clean it up. Xu Teng took out the walkie-talkie on the table, beckoned a waitress to come over, clean up the debris, the larger debris was encapsulated in a cardboard box, and then sent to Yixing to ask someone to remake one.

"There's a nurse at home, you go downstairs to take care of the wound, I'll tell you later." "Xu Teng has a headache, if this set of tea sets is well preserved, after 08 years, as the price of these cultural toys skyrockets, a set of two or thirty million prices.

The rain open-air star beam pot is still the masterpiece of Master Gu Jingzhou, only this set, there is no second set, Zisha Seven Elders, and several others have not made similar teapots.

After waiting for a few minutes, Qin Hailuo hurriedly came back, and had to comfort Xu Teng, "Brother-in-law, don't be angry, Sister Hua probably doesn't know the price of these things." Besides, if you live in Ruilin Mansion, where does she dare to be arrogant, you surrender your identity and have to live in this small apartment, she really doesn't take you seriously. ”

This sister has a lot of eyes, if Xu Teng and Zeng Quinoa live in Ruilin Mansion, how fun it is, she can go to Ruilin Mansion every day under the banner of spending time with her girlfriends to eat and drink for nothing, tens of thousands of bottles of Richard cognac are open for her, and it will be fine to open a few bottles.

"Hailuo, we have a good relationship, so I want to ask you to help me run an errand. Xu Teng has already figured it out, either don't do it, or play ruthlessly if you want to do it.

"You have something to order!" Qin Hailuo sat down with a grin.

"Director Feng's wife Xu Dong is from Chinese opera, you senior sister, you want to find a way to get in touch, I will ask Shenzhou Media to make a complete public relations plan, and then help Director Feng formulate a long-term plan. Xu Teng said quite casually, as if there was no difficulty in this matter, he took the rain open-air star on the tea table to the pool table to clean, hung it aside to dry naturally, and wiped his hands with a towel, "In short, I will give away 50 million for nothing, and then give Director Feng a film budget of 450 million yuan, and I will dig Director Feng over, and it will be within a month." ”

"No, brother-in-law, you're ruthless. If Huayi Group loses this great director, then it will have to work hard with you, not to mention that this Feng is famous for talking about rules and going to the road, it is impossible to give up his friendship with several bosses of Huayi Group for money. Qin Hailuo was a little weak-hearted, and it was estimated that this thing would really not be done.

"If you don't give it a try, how do you know if you can't do it?" Xu Teng poured two cups of Hennessy for himself and Qin Hailuo, sent them to her, and sat in front of the tea party pondering the plan for a long time, "I am responsible for formulating the specific plan." There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and I have to get the other party over even if I lose money. Of course, I won't treat you badly, if this thing is done, I will buy you a commercial house near Ruilin House, and if you want to play in Ruilin House in the future, you are welcome at any time. ”

"Okay, then let's decide, this thing is a hob, I'll do it for you. Qin Hailuo insisted, "In fact, in this circle, everyone has pursuits, as long as you open the price enough, there is nothing that cannot be done." What's wrong with having a relationship, let's not ruin his friendship, just come over and make a few movies. ”

"Yes. Xu Teng nodded, thinking in his heart that this is the case, his price code is not complicated, first make four movies in Shenzhou Film and Television, the subject matter is arbitrary, it doesn't matter if you make money or not, as long as you don't lose money, you can make two Sino-American co-productions later, in fact, it is to send Director Feng to Hollywood to make movies.

Once this thing is done, within four or five years, the series of blockbusters such as "Ambush on All Sides", "Mobile Phone", "No Thieves in the World", "Tangshan Earthquake", and "Assembly Number" are all his.

Shenzhou Film and Television wants to go public and make money, and this matter is worth any amount of money.

At this time, Jiang Jiajun, the director of "Talented Men and Women", finally sent a text message back to Xu Teng, and the other party felt that Xia Li and Zeng Quinoa could star in this TV series.

Superfluous words, Director Jiang didn't say anything.

Xu Teng could guess that the audition lasted for a whole day, which was estimated to make Director Jiang very painful, and he repeatedly said the play, and only now could he meet the requirements, showing the kind of characteristics that the director team wanted.

"Thank you, the shooting cycle is a little longer, the cost is a little higher, it doesn't hurt to ensure the quality, there is Director Jiang Lao. Xu Teng knew in his heart that he had to thank Director Jiang, and he would definitely trouble the other party to take more care of him during the post-filming process.

"Mr. Xu rest assured, it is generally no problem, and there should be no delay. Jiang Jiajun is a very cultivated Hong Kong director, his name for Xu Teng is a bit different, this big director who is good at shooting urban dramas and movies, and he also signed a long-term contract with Shenzhou Media, and the contract is four TV series and one movie, this is the first one.

The older generation of Hong Kong people is very realistic, no matter how many problems there are, they will find a way to satisfy the boss, and those Hong Kong executives over the age of 40 around Mui Jiali generally have this characteristic and are very pragmatic.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, I have discussed with several screenwriters, and I have some new ideas, I want to improve the plot and ending, increase Xia Li's role, adjust from the third female to the second female, and adjust it to the direction of the musical. Jiang Jiajun suddenly had a strange mention.

"Oh, are you sure?" Xu Teng was very strange, his relationship with Xia Li was almost unclear, did the great director notice such an eager trick.

"Sure, because they were so nervous, during the lunch break, I had people find a guitar and sing a few songs to soothe the feelings, and she sang an English song, which felt very, very good, I felt a bit like Cindy Laupa, and the voice had a poetic static beauty. Therefore, I also had a whim, wanting to expand the emotional conflict of the plot, and at the same time use a lot of lyrical songs, which is also the general trend of idol dramas in recent years, and "Meteor Garden" has been very successful in this regard. ”

Jiang Jiajun seems to appreciate Xia Li's characteristics and believes in his professional judgment, "I have been in the entertainment industry for 20 years, and it is rare to see such a female star, she will be very popular and have an unlimited future." ”

"Okay, give you half a month to speed up and bring me the new script. Xu Teng agreed, and by the way, he advised, "Don't have any hard injuries in the plot." ”

"Don't worry, these are very mature plots, I plan to invite a screenwriter from Taiwan to come and help, do my best, and within two weeks, I will definitely submit a new script. Of course, Wang Liping is also the main screenwriter. Jiang Jiajun is very cautious, his original screenwriting team was born in Hong Kong TVB, and there are also young screenwriters from the mainland, Wang Liping, the gold medal screenwriter of mainland urban family dramas, was personally invited by Xu Teng.

The theme of the whole drama is also decided by Xu Teng, adjusted to the story of the sales department of the most eye-catching real estate company at the moment, the outline is a group of newly graduated college students who stepped into the society, interned in the sales department, and grew up in the history of struggle, blending family, feelings, sisters, extramarital affairs and other very popular elements in the mainland.

"Do you mean to use the way of idol dramas to shoot a mainland emotional drama?" Xu Teng vaguely understood.

"I've watched some Japanese and Korean dramas recently, as well as a few American dramas, and I've been very impressed. "Orange County" and "Felicity" are all typical youth idol dramas, but in terms of elements such as family parents, brothers and sisters, they all have the depth of expression of mainland emotional dramas. If Mr. Xu is not a very stylish investor, I don't want to make trouble, in fact, I think the two genres of mainland emotional dramas and Taiwanese idol dramas can be integrated. ”

Jiang Jiajun said very seriously.

"Tomorrow, Director Jiang will come over early, and around 9 o'clock, we will have a good chat at my house. Xu Teng suddenly had an idea to establish a standard for Shenzhou Film and Television, only shoot high-quality dramas, six to seven TV series a year, and each of them must be an annual drama-level investment.

Jiang Jiajun actually told Xu Teng a fact that whether a TV series can be filmed well is not simply a matter of the director's level or the screenwriter, the core issue is the standard of investors and the requirements of investors.

For a big director like Director Jiang who made movies in Hong Kong in the 90s, it is not a problem technically, vision, ability and ability to learn new elements are not a problem, the problem is investors.

Investors want an anti-Japanese thunder drama that makes quick money, and the director can only shoot an anti-Japanese thunder drama.

Xu Teng is in his attic study, in the garden in the sky, in the evergreen shrubs, in the withered and withered rose bushes, in the glass wall.

He thought about these questions, and suddenly thought of Xia Li again, thought of Director Jiang's comments on Xia Li, and suddenly realized that the literary and artistic school flower of that high school was growing rapidly and becoming a goddess he had never imagined, a real goddess of literature and art.

He even had a hunch, a little worried, that a goddess of literature and art who could influence the times was being born. (To be continued.) )
