Chapter 492: Gang of Men
There is a saying in the entertainment industry: If you look awkward and have a lot of characters after the play, you must be a relative of the investor.
The most obvious example, an actress with a Korean surname and an actress with a rare surname, one of them can always appear in the Spring Festival Gala inexplicably, and the other can always have various big names such as Donnie Yen and Sun Honglei to play together.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Ye Leiyang, he doesn't have the mood or the opportunity to greet these people, it's all the director's and producer's business.
I have to say that Feng Xiaogang is a very patient person, according to Ye Leiyang's estimate, he may have to wait a week before meeting him. I didn't expect this to be half a month.
Half a month is enough time for a lot of things to happen, for example, Anna helped Ye Leiyang look at a house, the price is not expensive, and you can buy it with a loan. The area is not big or small, and the three bedrooms and two living rooms are just enough for Ye Leiyang to live alone. Another example is that Yu Wanrou recently didn't have time to nag Ye Leiyang to ask him to write a new song, because she encountered new problems.
Jiang Zhi has come to the capital!
In Ye Leiyang's words, it is because of the need to focus the game company on the capital, as for the actual reason, it can be known from Yu Wanrou's recent lack of time to disturb herself that she is busy dealing with Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi, this guy in addition to sleeping twenty-four hours a day, almost grew up by Yu Wanrou's side, Yu Wanrou who was pestering had no temper at all, and called Ye Leiyang, Ye Leiyang simply said that he couldn't help it, and he couldn't drive away, so he had to let him mess around.
And on this day, Ye Leiyang was reading a book in the hotel, and finally received a call from Zhang Guoli.
The house that Anna helped to see has already finalized the purchase contract, and there is only one signing and transfer procedures left, Ye Leiyang plans to move in after a while of decoration, plus he may have to return to Binzhou after a while. So I still live in the hotel.
"Xiao Ye, are you still in the capital?" Zhang Guoli's voice is very loud and full of energy, which is completely different from the impression he gives people.
Ye Leiyang nodded: "Yes, I may have to leave recently." ”
"Back to the Northeast?" The last time they met, Zhang Guoli already knew that Ye Leiyang was from the Northeast. Now I heard that he was going home, so I asked.
Ye Leiyang smiled and nodded: "Yes, I don't have anything to deal with here, so I plan to go back first." ”
The two chatted a few more words on the phone, Zhang Guoli never said the topic, Ye Leiyang was not in a hurry, and accompanied him to chat in the north and south of the sea that day, with a posture of sitting firmly on the fishing boat.
Time passed minute by minute, and I was about to hang up. Zhang Guoli seemed to inadvertently say to Ye Leiyang: "By the way, are you free tomorrow night, I have saved a game, they are all familiar friends in the film and television industry, Xiao Ye, if you are free, come and sit down, how about it?" ”
Ye Leiyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Okay." I'm sure in the past. ”
Putting down the phone, the corners of his mouth arced. It seems that some people finally can't sit still. The purpose of Zhang Guoli's call today should be very clear, that is, to negotiate with himself.
In fact, Ye Leiyang guessed correctly, when Zhang Guoli put down the phone, there was a guy with buckteeth and a long face sitting opposite him, who was the well-known director Feng Xiaogang and Feng Da in the grumpy circle.
"How. Did he say yes? Feng Xiaogang asked Zhang Guoli eagerly.
Zhang Guoli rolled his eyes helplessly: "Tell me about you, what is this called." ”
He really doesn't want to comment on the character of this product, Feng Xiaogang's kind of temper that I see you can do whatever you like, and you slap the table and scold your mother if you don't like it. When I saw Ye Leiyang for the first time, this guy was holding a shelf. As a result, Ye Leiyang didn't give face. Later, after reading the script, he was moved, and after holding up for half a month, he finally couldn't help but find himself, hoping that he would be the middleman to facilitate this matter.
"Xiaogang, is that book so good?"
The person who asked this sentence was a bald man, and just sitting there gave people a sense of joy, it was Uncle Ge, who had worked with Feng Xiaogang in comedy for many years.
Feng Xiaogang nodded: "It's a good story, I want to shoot it." ”
As soon as he said this, several people at the dinner table were stunned, and they hadn't heard Feng Xiaogang praise a script as a good story for a long time. You must know that although he makes money one after another for the Chinese New Year, in Feng Xiaogang's mouth, those movies are made to cater to the market and the audience, and there is nothing good or bad.
Chen Zhiming, who was wearing a pair of glasses, frowned: "This young man, where did he come from?" ”
This question is the key, if a rookie screenwriter is a screenwriter, Feng Xiaogang is so cautious? You must know that in this circle, it is not a matter of having a good story and a good idea.
Zhang Guoli smiled bitterly, and helplessly explained to a few old friends: "People are not screenwriters, they write novels." He wrote the popular "Twilight Zone" reported some time ago, and I met it through a friend. ”
"This is not easy to do." Chen Zhiming touched his head and said.
If it is a person in this circle, he may be able to use some of the resources in everyone's hands to force the other party to comply, but they are not from the film and television industry, but from the cultural circle, in other words, it is still a foreign-related cultural circle.
These people, no matter how much energy they have in the entertainment industry, they call for wind and rain, and they have no combat effectiveness in front of the real power organs.
Otherwise, the sixth generation of directors has been banned for so many years, and they don't see a single person who lends a hand. The so-called feelings, in the final analysis, are actually pretending, or more accurately, their feelings.
A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then we can only talk." ”
As soon as his words came out, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Guoli nodded again and again, and even Uncle Ge and Chen Zhiming nodded in approval.
This person's name is Zheng Xiaolong, maybe most people have never heard of his name, but later he filmed a TV series called "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
And, in the days when he was the director of the Beijing Television Art Center, he recruited Feng Xiaogang to work as an artist. In ninety-four years, the two co-directed "Beijingers in New York", and the actor was Jiang Wen. and Zhao Baogang directed the TV series "Addicted", the actor is Wang Zhiwen. In addition, Uncle Ge's "Alive" that won the Cannes actor is also related to him.
In addition, in the 90 years of the Beijing Television Art Center produced the TV series "Desire", Wang Shuo is the planner, Zhao Baogang is the director, this TV series with thousands of empty alleys, let Zhao Baogang embark on the road of directing, and later "The Story of the Editorial Department" became his pioneering work, which is known as the first indoor sitcom in China, which has fulfilled Uncle Ge and made the relationship between several people closer and closer. You must know that Feng Xiaogang was studying directing with Zhao Baogang at that time, and he even publicly admitted that Zhao Baogang influenced his life.
And the producer of this drama is still Zheng Xiaolong!
In other words, Zheng Xiaolong is the real behind-the-scenes boss in this circle, and no one will not listen to his words.
Since he said that he can only talk about it, it means that this script must be taken from Ye Leiyang in a reasonable way, and no other off-the-board moves can be used.
Wang Shuo, who had never spoken, picked his teeth with a toothpick, and said in a particularly authentic Beijing accent: "Ya is just a small character, do you need to be so polite to him?" ”
He has a bad temper, perhaps because of the character of the literati, and when he heard Zhang Guoli's introduction to Ye Leiyang, he instinctively felt very uncomfortable.
Zheng Xiaolong glanced at Wang Shuo and said lightly: "This person has never been interviewed abroad, and he has never even signed and sold books, and it is the same in China." ”
After a pause, he continued: "And didn't you hear Guoli say, he is twenty-three years old this year, what were you doing when you were twenty-three? ”
Wang Shuo closed his mouth instantly, and Zheng Xiaolong's tone already showed that the big brother was a little unhappy.
The people who are most willing to provoke no longer speak, let alone others, not to mention that there are not many people who are qualified to speak at this table, except for Wang Zhiwen and Jiang Wen, who are not present, the rest are the little characters in this circle, and no one dares to question Zheng Xiaolong's words.
Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that tomorrow night's dinner might not be so easy to talk about. (To be continued.) )
