April 31, evening.

Yanjing, Grand Hyatt Oriental Hotel.

Today, as usual, the hotel has welcomed a group of important figures in the political and business circles.

"Mr. West, we need a drink tonight." Zhao Jiangshan led a foreigner into the hotel, talking and laughing.

West's height is as strong as that of a European, so his body is not shorter than the tall Zhao Jiangshan. Today is estimated to be going well, so he spoke boldly and generously: "Haha, naturally we have to have a good drink, respect our friendship, and respect our career." ”

"Yes, respect for friendship and career." Zhao Jiangshan laughed.

The generals and subordinates found the object of chat, and the atmosphere was harmonious and happy to walk into the magnificent hall.

After three rounds of drinking, West finally talked about the mission again: "Mr. Zhao, I think it's not enough to open 40 part of the account and 50 buyout pieces, so I hope you can discuss and add a little more." On our side of the European Union, it is naturally no less than that of China. ”

Zhao Jiangshan raised his wine glass and said calmly: "Mr. West, 40 part of the account and 50 buyout pieces are already good, if you think about the United States, you get less than you." ”

"That's different." West shook his hand again and again, "North American films are too aggressive and harmful to local films, so restrictions should be restricted." EU films are different, like Chinese films, which are conducive to cultural exchanges between the EU and China. ”

Zhao Jiangshan listened and listened, pursed his lips covertly, and said secretly in his heart: "You can fool around, aggressiveness is the same in every movie......"

Seeing that Zhao Jiangshan was unmoved, West put forward another condition: "I hope to be able to cancel the release date limit of the movie, 30 days is far from enough to tap the box office potential of a movie." ”

Zhao Jiangshan thought about it, and it seemed that there was no big problem in lifting the restriction on the release date, so he said: "There should be no problem, Mr. West, please rest assured." I'll report this to the leader, and now, let's talk about the distribution cooperation. ”

"Release? Good. West nodded, this is also one of his tasks, he must make a result and show it to his superiors, so that he can sit firmly on his ass.

"We currently have a total of 14 film companies in China with distribution qualifications, the first is China Film Group, which manages 30% of all imported blockbusters in the United States, and other distribution channels are more mature Datang International, Huayi, and Orange He. All have experience in introducing foreign films. We also have distribution channels and experience in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. As for the remaining 10 companies, they are still a little short in terms of experience and channels. ”

Zhao Jiangshan is telling the truth, in his eyes. Naturally, these film distribution companies are the most suitable to reach cooperation with the EU, and they are also the most in line with their interests.

"That Mr. Wang heard that there is a film company, does it have the distribution rights?" West asked suddenly.

"Mr. Wang? Which Mr. Wang?? ”

"It's the same Mr. Wang from "Fast and Furious"!" West's eyes were bright and serious. West is a native of England in the European Union, so he was very impressed by the movie "Fast and Furious", which had been shot in England, and the "Fast and Furious" series had a very high box office and was also very good-looking, so he was very impressed with Wang Shang, before he went to China. He has specifically checked Wang Shang's information.

"Fast & Furious...... Mr. Wang...... You're talking about Mr. Wang Shang, the director of "Biochemical Apocalypse" and "Transformers", right? ”

"Yes, that's him!!" West slapped his thigh, and then looked at Zhao Jiangshan with an inquiring gaze. "Does his company have the right to publish? I heard that his company is quite powerful. ”

His company is called Tianwang Film and Television, although it has only been established for less than nine years, but the scale is still quite large, and its assets are growing rapidly every year. Personally, he is also a very talented person, but unfortunately, it does not have the right to distribute it for the time being. Zhao Jiangshan personally still has a good impression of Wang Shang, and he also saw that the application for the distribution rights of Tianwang Film and Television has been handed to his desk, waiting for his final approval.

It's a pity that Zhao Jiangshan is still a little hesitant about whether to agree to the approval, at this critical moment in the negotiation of the EU mission, some subordinates are temporarily staying without review, and then reconsider after the EU mission leaves. These subordinates sometimes represent the interests of major film companies, so Zhao Jiangshan has to think carefully.

"Oh, that's a shame......" West said disappointedly.

Just when West and Zhao Jiangshan were talking about Tianwang Film and Television Company, the chairman of the other accompanying film companies and the senior management of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, although they did not show it on the surface, listened carefully, and at this moment, all the people stopped picking up dishes and toasting.

And Yang Shou's heart was beating faster, during this time he was contacting others and asking Zhao Jiangshan to open the distribution rights to Tianwang Film and Television Company, but what he didn't expect was that their joint speech had little effect, and his heart was dying. This is related to special effects and 3D technology.,The cooked duck is about to fly away.,The flesh hurts~~~.

Seeing the EU envoy mention Wang Shang this time, Yang Shou's heart beat even harder, and he thought to himself: "This Wang Shang has so much energy, and he actually explained to the EU envoy, this may be a turning point." ”

It's a pity that Zhao Jiangshan didn't seem to loosen, and this foreign envoy didn't continue to entangle, which disappointed Yang Shou.

Some people are worried, some people are happy, and a few people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the EU envoy did not entangle Wang Shang anymore, and then relaxed and began to toast each other.

――――――――――――

Yanjing, a high-end community, a villa, the Spring Festival Gala organization and planning group.

The Spring Festival Gala organization and planning team is not the director group of the Spring Festival Gala, but the group that selects the director, its existence has always been relatively mysterious and low-key, and only some people know that there is such a group.

A car drove from the wooded path to the villa, and in the back of the car was an elderly man with heavy reading glasses. This old man is the old man Yang Shou saw in a small courtyard, that is, Yang Shou's master.

The car entered the villa, the old man got out of the car, and walked slowly into the hall, at this time the other people in the hall greeted him, all of these people were about forty to sixty years old, and any one of them had a very great influence outside.

"Team leader, drink water." A man poured a glass of water and handed it to the old man.

Everyone looked at the old man with a blank eye.

The old man didn't have an appetite, and said directly: "The plan we made." The leader did not agree. ”

"Didn't agree to the plan?" Others couldn't help but be discouraged.

At this time, the old man said again: "By the way, the leader also gave a reminder, saying that it is better to try to use the old director of the Spring Festival Gala, and other directors can join, but not many, and they can't be the chief director." Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, Li Chengshu, and Wang Shang, the leaders agreed to give them the status of assistant directors, but the number cannot exceed three. ”

The Spring Festival Gala plan was rejected, and the Spring Festival Gala organization and planning team began to get busy again.

Wang Shang, who is directing "Transformers". Soon received a call from the secretary.

"Invite me to be the assistant director of the Spring Festival Gala? I'm really sorry about that. You also know that I'm directing Transformers right now. So I may not have time to participate, so I won't delay the preparations for the Spring Festival Gala, please forgive me. ”

Wang Shang refused directly, simply and neatly.

After Wang Shang hung up the phone. Zhou Jianguo, who was on the other side of the phone, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

He also admires Wang Shang, a young man, and also likes Wang Shang's movies, so he naturally hopes that Wang Shang can be a director at the Spring Festival Gala, so he called Wang Shang for the first time, but he didn't expect Wang Shang to not cherish this rare opportunity.

It's incredible!!

"Could it be that he doesn't know the benefits of being the director of this Spring Festival Gala? Do you want to remind him again?? Zhou Jianguo hesitated for a moment, and finally put down the phone, and then said to the others, "Wang Shang said that he wanted to shoot "Transformers", so he didn't participate in the Spring Festival Gala. ”

Others listened. The whole hall was silent.

All of them had mixed expressions, some disdain, some admiration, and some ridicule. And so on.

Other film and television drama directors such as Xu Ke, Chen Kaige, Du Qifeng, Zheng Long, Li Chengshu and others didn't know how happy they were when they received a call from the Spring Festival Gala organization and planning team, and one director was even so excited that he cried.

When he arrived at Wang Shang, not only was he not overjoyed or grateful, but he even refused it neatly!!

Is this looking down on the Spring Festival Gala?

Is this looking down on us?

It's so arrogant!

It's really unbelievable!!

Some of the team members were furious.

Wang Shang naturally didn't know that he had provoked a lot of old-timers by refusing alone, and if he knew, he would probably refuse again and again. It's a disaster.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Shang continued to sit down next to the director's seat and watched Michael direct.

The director's position is exquisite, because on the set, sitting in different positions will have different angles and see different things.

The film director's seat has a wider perspective and a wider control of the situation. However, this also requires the director sitting in this position to have a clear enough mind, a clear understanding of the direction of the plot, the grasp of the picture, the performance of the actors, and even various factors such as lighting, positioning, and perspective.

“ng！！ Again!! ”

"Wang Song (the main character)!! You haven't had enough to eat!! Run faster, run nervous!! ”

“ng！！！”

"You're going to be embarrassed!! You're going to run around!! Also, run along the drawn route!! ”

Michael screamed at the horn.

And Hu Bugui (protagonist Wang Song) was already tired like a toad at this time, lying on the front cover and refusing to move, his tongue gasping out.

I have to say that Michael Bay's blasting and chasing skills are among the best in the world, and Wang Shang has learned a lot from observing his directing process.

After thinking about it, Wang Shang said to Michael Bay: "I have thought it through, and you will shoot "Transformers 2". ”

Michael was pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”

During this time, he had fallen in love with Transformers.

Wang Shang smiled: "Of course it's true!" I've already contacted the military, I'm the producer, and there are some confidential things that can't be filmed by you, and everything else is up to you to decide. ”

Michael Bay jumped in surprise.

"Great!!".
