Lin Youlun didn't expect that after less than ten minutes, he actually met Han Shanping again.

"Why, you've known each other before?" Huang Licheng was confused by the situation in front of him.

The driver Xiao Chen attached his mouth to Huang Licheng's ear and explained the ins and outs of the matter to him, Huang Licheng was relieved, "Okay, you Han Shanping, you are stuck in traffic and jams, do you still have a little organizational discipline in your eyes. Regularity? ”

Han Shanping can play tricks with Huang Licheng in private, but in front of him, he has to give the leader enough face, and he immediately made a gesture of accepting criticism with an open mind, "Director Huang criticized it, and he will definitely correct it next time!" ”

Huang Licheng was quite satisfied with Han Shanping's performance, turned his head and explained to Lin Youlun with a smile: "Director Han is now the director of a film studio in Sichuan. Kyo and I cried poorly. It just so happened that he was also from a film background, so he should have a lot of topics in common with Mr. Lin, so I called him along. ”

Such an opportunity to come to the door, of course Lin Youlun will not refuse.

Three into the same car to the north. The front door of Beijing is full of Jude, Wu Siyuan has been waiting at the door for a while, and when he saw a strange man coming down from the passenger seat of the car, Wu Siyuan was only slightly stunned, and then greeted him enthusiastically.

Huang Licheng introduced Han Shanping to Wu Siyuan, and the two sides were polite for a while, and then walked into the private room that had been prepared a long time ago.

Han Shanping snatched the waiter's teapot when he entered the door, poured water and tea for Sanjin, and lowered his posture.

Huang Licheng and Lin Youlun continued to talk about the topic discussed in the hotel, Wu Siyuan listened with emotion, what seemed to him to be impossible to succeed, was actually done in Lin Youlun's hands.

Wu Siyuan thought before that with his understanding of the mainland, Lin Youlun must have relied on him a lot, but he didn't expect Lin Youlun to go through the path of the supreme chief, China's affairs are like this, many times the things that can't be done by running and breaking legs and wearing out the skin of the mouth, but as long as there is a sentence above, the matter can be solved immediately.

Of course, Wu Siyuan quickly corrected his mentality, at present, the mainland has only opened a crack for Hong Kong films, and there must be a lot of work to be promoted in the future, Lin Youlun cannot stay in the mainland for a long time, Wu Siyuan has a foundation in the Hong Kong film industry, and he also has a pulse in the mainland, so it is most suitable to be this intermediate role.

Wu Siyuan was thinking about his own affairs in his heart, and he didn't notice that Han Shanping, who had been pouring water diligently beside him, was also a little slow at this time.

On the way to the hotel, Han Shanping had roughly figured out Lin Youlun's identity, and the billionaires in their early twenties did not surprise Han Shanping too much, what really shocked him was that the other party actually produced many movies with a global box office of more than 100 million US dollars.

If this is the case in Hong Kong, wouldn't Hollywood be even more powerful?

Han Shanping had not yet recovered from the shock caused by this huge gap, and then he heard a news that made him even more excited during the conversation between Huang Licheng and Lin Youlun.

The mainland wants to open up restrictions on cooperation with Hong Kong films, which also means that more Hong Kong films will enter the north, and these entry will not only bring film concepts and shooting skills, but also abundant funds.

Especially to the north. A film studio other than the Beijing Film Studio will be a great opportunity!

Han Shanping held the teapot in his hand, and still maintained the posture of pouring tea into the cup, but his mind was deserted, seeing that the water in the cup was about to be filled, Han Shanping didn't realize this, Wu Siyuan hurriedly reminded: "It's full!" It's full! ”

Han Shanping came back to his senses abruptly and hurriedly lifted the spout of the pot up, but there was still a lot of tea overflowing from the cup, and it was a rush to clean up the tea on the table.

In this way, Lin Youlun and Huang Licheng didn't care about talking, and they both looked at Han Shanping.

Han Shanping had no choice but to explain: "I was thinking about things just now, and I was distracted. ”

Huang Licheng glared at him, turned his head and was about to continue chatting with Lin Youlun, but found that Lin Youlun looked at Han Shanping with a thoughtful expression.

Han Shanping also noticed this, but Lin Youlun didn't speak, and he couldn't ask.

"Emei Film Studio is in Chengdu, right?"

Han Shanping didn't expect Lin Youlun to suddenly ask about the situation of the film studio, his mind turned very fast, and he soon realized that this might be an opportunity, so he introduced some information about the Emei Film Studio to Lin Youlun.

Eying also had a glorious period in the fifties and sixties, but after entering the eighties, with the reduction of state support funds, the situation was much worse than before.

After Han Shanping's introduction, Huang Licheng added: "Eying made a film "Dagu and His Father" in the sixties, and also got Mr. Zhou. Although we have encountered a little difficulty now, the quality of the staff is still very high. ”

"I have a movie in my hand that is about to be filmed in Sichuan, one of the leading actors of the film is an actor from the mainland, my idea is to co-produce this film with Emei Film Studio, we have to hire some local personnel, including drama and extras, and the crew can return about 1 million to 2 million to Eying after the most reluctance."

Originally, according to the practice of co-production, the film studios on the mainland were only responsible for providing some convenience, and the main work was still done by the Hong Kong crew, and after the film was completed, it was enough to give the mainland copyright to the film studio, and there was no need to spend additional funds.

However, even if "The Heroes of the Storm" is labeled as a co-production, it is estimated that it will be difficult to pass the review of the mainland, so that according to the previous cooperation method, the mainland film studios will not get any benefits at all.

Lin Youlun proposed this kind of cooperation, in fact, it is a disguised support for Emei Film Studio, 2 million in Hong Kong may only be a popular star's salary for making a movie, but at this time in the mainland to complete it is a huge amount of money.

"Mr. Lin isn't joking with me, is he?" Han Shanping was so excited that even his voice trembled a little.

Huang Licheng didn't expect Lin Youlun to be so generous, and his mouth was two million. With this money, Emei Film Studio can survive the current predicament, but the news of the matter is that this bowl of water is uneven, and other film studios will definitely have something to say.

Han Shanping didn't care so much, stood up and replaced the wine with tea, and saluted Lin Youlun and said: "On behalf of the whole Eying factory, I would like to thank Mr. Lin for his support to our film industry!" ”

"Director Han didn't rush to agree, I still have a request that I haven't said." Lin Youlun stood up, but he was not in a hurry to clink glasses with Han Shanping, "This movie was filmed in the mainland, and I also want to take this opportunity to show the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland to the outside, so I want to invite a photographer from the mainland to take charge of the camera, and I still need the help of Director Han to come forward in this matter." ”

Huang Licheng, who was sitting on the side, was already alive at this time, and the photographer who could make Lin Youlun value should at least be well-known in China, but Emei Film Studio did not have such a photographer in its hands.

Han Shanping was a little uncertain, "I don't know which photographer Mr. Lin wants to find?" ”

"Zhang Yimou."

Han Shanping and Huang Licheng glanced at each other, and they were no strangers to the name Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou was taken by the North after the resumption of the college entrance examination. In 1984, he participated in the filming of the movie "One and Eight" shortly after graduating from the Photography Department of the Film Academy. This film has made a big breakthrough compared with previous generations of films in terms of form and content, as well as in terms of direction, photography, and beauty. Zhang Yimou won the 1984 China Film Outstanding Cinematography Award for his bold compositions and unique lens designs, and began to attract the attention of the film industry.

However, what really made Zhang Yimou stand out was his subsequent work in "Huang. Land". In this film, Zhang Yimou fully mobilizes the means of photography to express the simple and majestic beauty of the Loess Plateau with a unique shape. The film won the Best Cinematography Award at the 5th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards, the Best Cinematography Award at the 7th Nantes Tricontinents International Film Festival in France, the Oriental Kodak Outstanding Production Skills Award at the 5th Hawaii International Film Festival, and the Silver Leopard Award at the Lucano International Film Festival in Switzerland.

For the vast majority of audiences, the name Zhang Yimou was after watching the film "Red. After "Sorghum", this film has not started filming at this time, and Zhang Yimou is only beginning to become famous in the film industry, but Lin Youlun himself is engaged in film production, so it is not surprising that he will notice Zhang Yimou.

Although there have been various controversies about Zhang Yimou's works in later generations, there is no doubt about one thing, the film pictures under his lens are extremely beautiful, and in many minds, he may not be the most first-class director, but he can definitely be called the first-class photographer.

Lin Youlun asked Zhang Yimou to be the photographer of "The Heroes of the Storm", but he also wanted to "squeeze" his talent in photography, and when Zhang Yimou became a director in the future, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity.

Lin Youlun made this request, but Han Shanping was a little embarrassed, Zhang Yimou's current working relationship is in Guangxi Film Studio, and it is not easy to borrow from the other party.

Seeing Han Shan looking at him with flat eyes, Huang Licheng suddenly had an idea in his heart, this time the co-production of the movie, the benefits can't all be taken up by Eying, otherwise other film studios will have opinions, and now if you join one more Guangxi film studio, other film studios should always have nothing to say.

"Guilin's mountains and rivers are dying, Mr. Lin wants to show the beautiful scenery of the motherland in the movie, and I think I can also consider shooting some scenes in Guangxi, so that Guangxi Film Studio can also join in." Huang Licheng said his thoughts, Han Shanping suddenly made a bitter face, although he was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that there was only one way to do this at present, otherwise he really couldn't borrow Zhang Yimou.
