Chapter 123: The three directors come to help
"Director Zhang, welcome." Ning Hao hurriedly greeted him.
"Congratulations to Ning Hao, I hope your ** movie can achieve good results." Zhang Yi laughed loudly and held Ning Hao's hand enthusiastically, Ning Hao's original expression left a deep impression on him.
"Thank you!" Ning Hao said gratefully.
"Director Zhang, among the people I invited, you are the first to come today." Lin Yuquan shook hands with Zhang Yi and said.
"The junior's movie is released, how can I not support and support the senior, I won't be like someone, this kind of occasion is always late." Zhang Yi waved his hand.
"Who is speaking ill of me behind my back? Of course I support the junior, congratulations, Ning Hao, I am looking forward to your film, and I hope you can become another banner of our Kyoto Film Academy's directing department. Chen Kaige's voice suddenly came out.
"Thank you, Director Chen, I will work hard." Ning Hao hurriedly said.
"It's coming, it's not too late today." Lin Yuquan turned to look at Chen Kaige and said lightly.
Chen Kaige didn't care, came to Lin Yuquan, and said with a smile: "Yuquan, Wu Yusen is menacing this time, you have to be careful!" ”
"It's not just Yuquan, although on the surface it seems that it was just him and Yuquan colliding, but in fact, he didn't come to our mainland film industry, and wanted to step on all of us." Zhang Yi snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Director Zhang, in fact, it's not so strict, it's just a movie." Lin Yuquan shook his head.
"You just love to make a fuss, and no one else is worried about Yuquan, what are you anxious about?" Chen Kaige chuckled.
"So you guys, there is no sense of crisis, Wu Yusen is a Chinese-American after all, not a real Chinese, once his movies climb on our heads, others should say that there is no one in our domestic films." Zhang Yi sighed, as long as he remembered the anger he suffered in Hong Kong and Taiwan back then, he felt angry in his heart.
"That's right." Chen Kaige nodded.
Lin Yuquan, Ning Hao, and Xiao Yang were silent.
Before Lin Yuquan became a director, as an ordinary film and television lover, he just liked good-looking movies, in fact, the general public is like this, they don't care about the United States, Hong Kong, or China, as long as the movie is good-looking, it is enough, but for film practitioners, especially directors, this is a great shame.
In the past, he had never had such a cognition, but now it has only been initially formed by Zhang Yi's words, although it is still very shallow and not profound.
"What's wrong with you, standing at the door of the cinema one by one and not talking." Feng Xiaogang's unique voice sounded.
"It's okay, Director Feng, it's just about Wu Yusen's filming of "The Battle of Red Cliffs". Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"Director Feng, welcome to you." Ning Hao also said.
"Director Ning Hao, right, I watched that episode of "Luyu has an appointment", and Yuquan praised your movie in the show, saying that it was very funny! To be honest, I'm not here today to sell his face, but to watch your movie, which is also a comedy, and I hope we can communicate more in this regard in the future. Feng Xiaogang's face was full of smiles, and after chatting with Ning Hao for a few words, he then said to Lin Yuquan: "It's okay, it's no wonder, he Wu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and tsk, it is still a large-scale production with an investment of four or five billion yuan, and all the movies I made add up are not as much as his investment in this film, but he can't get along in Hollywood, so he wants to come back and dominate, and it's not so easy, I don't believe that I can't fight Zhou Xingchi, and I can't fight him in the mainland." ”
"Sure enough, it's Feng Cannon, what you said is exactly what I want to say, won't his movie be released at the end of next year? I'm just going to make a new movie next year, hehe, it's also a big production, we might as well compare it with him when the time comes, I don't believe that so many of us can't do him alone. Zhang Yi said out loud.
"You're strong!" Lin Yuquan gave a thumbs up, the reason why the two of them are like this, of course, is to rely on it.
Needless to say, Zhang Yi's confidence is needless to say, "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" in recent years are both large-scale productions, and according to Zhang Yimou's style, if he makes a commercial blockbuster, the investment amount will definitely rise, and the last time "Ambush on All Sides" announced an investment of 250 million yuan, then this time it is estimated that at least 300 million yuan will be declared.
And Feng Xiaogang, who has never invested much, finally made a big move, not only investing up to 20 million US dollars, but also Zhang Yi's favorite Zhang Ziyi to help him brave the world, and at the same time joined Ge You, Wu Yanzu, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, it can be said that the stars are bright, and it brings together Tan Dun, Yuan Heping, Ye Jintian and other strong production teams, so "Night Banquet", no wonder he is full of confidence.
What's more, in the past two days, media reporters have been full of how Wu Yusen is, how is "The Battle of Red Cliffs", and he has never mentioned him, as if "Night Banquet" is as vulnerable as he is in front of Wu Yusen, and he is already very unhappy in his heart.
"Yuquan, what movie are you going to make next?" Although Chen Kaige has the heart to compete with Wu Yusen, he has been busy with "Wuji" related to his personal success or failure recently, and has no plans for a new film at present, so he had to ask Lin Yuquan, although Lin Yuquan is far from the three of them in terms of qualifications, it stands to reason that the burden of fighting against Wu Yusen should not fall on his shoulders, but just in terms of commercial film talent, no one will ignore him.
"I, the script is still being conceived, but the investment should be more than "Red Cliff"." Lin Yuquan said with a faint smile, if you want to bring out the picture in the cultivator's memory, the cost of special effects must be extremely amazing.
Zhang Yi and Feng Xiaogang, who were full of confidence just now, suddenly shrank their eyes, and the investment of more than 200 million yuan was also very impactful for them.
Especially Feng Xiaogang, the last time he had dinner with Lin Yuquan and Xu Jinglei, Lin Yuquan said that his movie was a real investment, not an exaggerated figure, and he immediately smiled bitterly when he heard this, you must know that he finally managed to win 15 million US dollars, about 120 million yuan of investment, and claimed to be 20 million US dollars to the outside world, but Lin Yuquan is understatement of two or three billion yuan.
looked at Lin Yuquan and Zhang Yimou, and when he thought of the situation of several big-scale zuò movies that might be released next year, his heart was heavy, and he only felt that Yali Mountain was big, and these perverts still didn't let him live!
"You also say that we are strong, you are strong!" Zhang Yi sighed, of course he also thought of this situation, but he didn't have any fear, but said arrogantly: "Since we are all big-scale movies, we might as well compare who can take Wu Yusen down." ”
"Okay, compare and compare, whoever is afraid of whom, the loser will be invited to dinner." Feng Xiaogang said loudly.
"Yuquan, why didn't you speak, is there a problem?"
"No, I'm just thinking that if you both lose, will you please together or separately." Lin Yuquan's words immediately made Chen Kaige laugh, Ning Hao and Xiao Yang were hindered by the face of the two great directors, although they had a thick smile on their faces, they didn't laugh out loud.
Several people chatted happily, and the cameras in the hands of the media reporters in the distance never stopped, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, my obedientness, the top three directors in the domestic film industry are all here, and then counting the new generation of directors next to him, Lin Yuquan, this is definitely the four people with the strongest box office appeal in China, and it should be the first collective meeting of the four people, which is too valuable for news reporting.
Everyone looked at Ning Hao's eyes with a little jealousy, when would a small-budget movie have such treatment, in the past, such a movie, they wouldn't even comment on it, let alone participate in the premiere on the spot, but now it's not just them, the usually rare big directors have also appeared, of course the reporters know who Chen Kaige and others are coming for, and looked at Lin Yuquan, who was standing next to Ning Hao, talking and laughing, and felt a lot in his heart, what a lucky guy, really with his back against the big tree to enjoy the shade.
