After finishing their work, they went to dinner together.
The address of the phantom company is very good, and the left is the Kyoto Hotel with a higher grade, with a good environment, familiar guests, the boss has discounts, and the signature dishes are authentic and delicious, and they will not be watched. Not far to the right, there is a star hotel, not far from Beiying, which is really convenient.
Naturally, the best place to eat is at the Kyoto Hotel.
But as he walked to the door, a car drove up to him, and the target was clearly the Phantom Company. Li Donglai stopped to watch, and after the car stopped at the parking post, a bald man with glasses walked out of the car. After he saw that the person who came was slightly stunned, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "It's Teacher Xu Zhen, it's a pleasure to meet you here...... You're here for me? ”
"Hehe, Mr. Li Donglai, I have admired the name for a long time, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so I am disturbed." He smiled, his temperament was not affected by the bald head on his head in the slightest, and his elegant speech revealed the vicissitudes of a mature old man, which had a special charm.
However, he looked at everyone as if they were going out, and laughed at himself: "But it seems that it is not the right time to come, you are going out?" ”
They are all old acquaintances in the circle, and after Liu Shishi and Cai Yinong saw the person who came, they immediately greeted him. Lin Gengxin, as a junior, was also introduced by Li Donglai.
After everyone greeted each other, Li Dong looked at everyone and then glanced at Xu Zhen and said, "Teacher Xu is here in the dust, there must be something urgent." If I have something on my mind and I can't eat well, I will take it upon myself to ask Mr. Xu to talk about business first. Xu Zhen smiled and signaled that he didn't mind. Li Donglai smiled: "That's it." Brother Zhu will take everyone to dinner first, and we will come back later. With that, Xu Zhen, who nodded apologetically, went back again.
I waited in the hotel for a long time, but I didn't wait for the two of them to come up.
Zhu Liangcheng, as a landlord, knew that Li Donglai was busy and forgot the time, and explained: "It is estimated that we have talked about it, so let's eat first." Go back and bring it to them. "After everyone couldn't wait, they ate first and deliberately slowed down. But I didn't expect to see them after dinner. I had to give Li Donglai a bag and take it back.
Master Liu was a little curious, this man was really ...... Odd. It seems serious, but sometimes it speaks the exact opposite. But when I work, I concentrate on it, and I have a special charm that I forget to eat.
Maybe it's because he was hugged before, maybe it's because he was alone in the office just now, or maybe he was teased by Li Donglai's last words...... Before she knew it, she was curious about the man.
When he returned to the company again, Master Liu paid special attention and found that the two of them were still chatting about work in the office. Looking at the past from the transparent glass, you can also find Li Donglai holding a script and reading it carefully, discussing with Xu Zhen from time to time.
Zhu Liangcheng, who was carrying food outside the door, went back and forth several times. They all hesitated and didn't go in.
Master Liu and the others are still waiting to sign the contract, and then they may want to live in the capital, waiting for the filming to start, and they have not returned to the hotel next door for the time being.
Idle and bored, he wandered around the Phantom Company. The Phantom's newly recruited staff is obviously very high. The enthusiasm for work is also very high, and Master Liu, as a big star, is engaged in entertainment, not many people don't know her, and no one will stop her.
Sure enough, it's a rich man, a new company. That's how big it is. This is the capital, a place where every inch of land is valuable. However, the office environment is very good, "Inception", "Hangover", "Source Code", and the poster of the new movie "Due Date" are pasted in a conspicuous position, showing the strength of the company. There are also Li Donglai's personal posters, which have also been posted a lot by employees.
There seems to be a poster of a Korean TV series and movie, starring Kim Tae-hee, Jun Ji-hyun, and Song Hye Kyo. These female stars, even Chinese are very familiar, she naturally recognizes.
After a long time, I turned around and came back to find that they were still talking in the office. It's not going to be talking about the plot of the script, Master Liu is also speechless, he is really a workaholic.
Cai Yinong left her first, and also took away the handsome little guy Lin Gengxin, who seemed to be about to become his fellow disciple, but Master Liu didn't care. Her mind was completely attracted by the last sentence that Li Donglai said at that time, and she wanted to ask Li Donglai what he meant by that sentence.
It's a pity that it was destined to be impossible today, and it wasn't until late that Li Donglai led Uncle Xu Zhen out with a happy face. The two hooked shoulders and obviously talked happily. But after chatting for so long, even lunch was delayed, and he was already hungry, so he hurriedly beckoned Master Liu, who had not left yet, to have dinner together.
Master Liu was very speechless, feeling that he was wandering around with him for a day, just to mix two meals to eat.
The next day, when Cai Yinong brought Master Liu to officially sign the contract, he was surprised to learn that the Phantom Company was about to start filming a new movie again. According to the grapevine, Xu Zhen will serve as the director and starring role in the film, and once the project is approved, the transfer of funds will be completed on the same day, and new information will be announced to the media in the near future.
However, the online media and local Taiwan media have long spread that after Li Donglai returned to China, a series of actions of the "Phantom" exploded like spring thunder, which made people jaw-dropping. After the start of filming a TV series and a movie, there will be new actions, and this time it is still a movie.
The most surprising thing is the director candidate, the last "33 Days of Broken Love", which invested tens of millions of dollars, rarely used the coat of arms without any directorial experience, which has already made people speculate......
What is this for, praising a new director?
But I haven't heard that Phantom's Chinese companies have signed contracts with other artists, and American and Korean companies have signed artists, but those companies are well-developed, which is naturally different from the newly created Phantom China company. If you don't sign a contract, you use money to support others, and you don't think there's a lot of money to spend.
In the domestic film circle, many companies have shouted the plan to cultivate new star directors, but most of them are slogans shouted loudly, and very few have actually implemented them. Among them, the only one who has done a good job is Liu Dehua of Xiangjiang, and director Ning Hao's famous work "Crazy Stone" is what he invested. But when you look at the newly established Phantom Company, the difference is immediately apparent.
Lee Dong-lai, the youngest Oscar-winning director and a popular young idol actor who has swept the world, is himself a representative of young people. Now he has begun to train the same young new director Emblem, Xu Zhen. So who will be the next young director, Huang Bo, who has a good relationship with Li Donglai? Or is it another person in the circle who has a depressed movie dream?
In fact, the Phantom Company was founded last year, but it has been developing slowly and low-key, in obscurity. But recently, it has become a hot topic in the entertainment industry.
All of them came back because of Li Donglai, and they made several big moves resolutely.
Let's not talk about what will happen in the future when it invests so much money to make a new film, in terms of the temperament shown by the entire Phantom company now. It is a kind of young and infinite, vigorous and vigorous!
Like a boulder. Falling from the sky and smashing into a pool of rotten water, calm and waveless small pond, it stirred up a thousand waves and made all the insiders look sideways.
Hong Kong media reported: "Donglai Tsai spends a lot of cash to support the newcomer director." Patriotic enthusiasm is high, and a new wind is blowing in the film circle". Xiangjiang's media reports on entertainment news have always been fierce, and they never leave room to ridicule a certain star, but this time they are merciful to Li Donglai, because Hong Kong people love this kung fu boy and his popularity is too high.
reported on the new trends of the Phantom Company, and Yan Donglaizai's continuous actions in the mainland have set off a new trend of youth, giving the entertainment industry a new look, etc. Finally, he said in a slightly sour tone: Donglaizai, can you make Hong Kong films in the future? Give Xiangjiang stars some opportunities, everyone wants to cooperate with you.
Mainland entertainment is more keen to report on the news that younger people are replacing the older generation of big directors. said that the future is the future of young people, and young directors will replace the older generation of directors and become the backbone of the new generation of film and television industry, and Li Donglai is the initiator.
Some old diehards scoffed at this report. Cheng Kaige responded: "It's a good thing to give young directors more opportunities, but making movies is not so easy. It's a double-edged sword. Li Donglai's miracle is unique and not replicable. But promoting young directors to film is also risky......"
What he meant by that was that if the movie was made, it would be ok. If the movie is a bad movie, then Li Donglai's golden sign will suffer a lot of damage...... The implication of not being optimistic about young people is unmistakable.
However, young netizens obviously don't buy it, few young people of this generation have seen his classic "Farewell My Concubine", they only know that his recent blockbuster "Wuji" is simply a big bad movie among bad movies, the only highlight is Bai Zhi's sacrifice nudity-exposure, and the big joke that provided a rehearsal for the later door incident.
It is said that five years after filming "Wu Ji", he started filming a new movie "Zhao's Orphan" again, with a lot of big names to help. Take a look at his shocking lineup: Ge You, Wang Xueqi, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Binbin, Haiqing, Bao Guoan, Zhang Fengyi, Zhao Wenzhuo, etc. With such a big stuck, it is definitely going to win the annual championship, so let's see what kind of spectacular film you have made then.
Li Donglai's fans, fans, and some young netizens have clamored for Donglai to pop chrysanthemums and give the old guys a little color.
And this kind of rhetoric doesn't seem to be a minority anymore, and it soon caused a whirlwind on the Internet. Dianguang Media, the producer of "Zhao Gu", saw that the situation was not right, and before the movie was released, it was boycotted by netizens, and it was okay. can't, quickly let Cheng Kaige put down the big director's shelf and come forward to clarify. said that there was no intention to slander Li Donglai, young people are good at making movies, and so on.
But it's late, no matter how you clarify, the early concepts of netizens have already settled in, and they are deep-rooted, and it is difficult to uproot them!
Compared with Cheng Kaige, Zhang Yimou is much calmer, honestly making his own movies, and not confronting fans.
His "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" invested more than 100 million US dollars, and he also invited Batman Christian Bale to join, and every day the money was sprinkled out, time was tight, and he had no time to pay attention to other things.
When it comes to blockbusters, I have to mention director Jiang Wen's new work "Let the Bullets Fly", this movie gathers him and his wife, Zhou Runfa, Ge You, Liu Jialing, Chen Kun, Shao Bing, Yao Lu, Liao Fu, Jiang Wu and other big cast actors, and the lineup is not weaker than "Zhao Gu". And Jiang Wen is also a very talented director, and his reputation is obviously better than Cheng Kaige's, and fans have a lot of enthusiasm for the movies he started.
Feng Xiaogang, who has always been a loud-mouthed cannon, appreciated it very much, and said bluntly: "I don't mind being replaced by young people, the future is for young people." I would like to see a new trend in the Chinese film industry gradually take shape. And Li Donglai himself also taught us old guys a lesson with practical actions, he has completed a feat that no one can accomplish, the world box office champion, and he succeeded in rushing to the Olympics. Expect them to succeed and complete the baton. ”
Director Feng is sincere, and there are many loyal fans of his works, so what he said is naturally sincere. But it is not ruled out that he may promote his upcoming masterpiece "Tangshan Earthquake". During the summer vacation, "Tangshan Earthquake" will be released, China has just experienced the suffering of the earthquake, many people still remember the disaster not long ago, this film will definitely get a lot of attention.
Li Donglai also reciprocated the favor, and was busy accepting an interview with Penguin.com, saying: "I like comedy, and the best comedy in China is Director Feng, I have watched every one of his works, and my humorous style has benefited me a lot." I am looking forward to Director Feng's masterpiece "Tangshan Earthquake", and I will definitely buy tickets to watch the movie when the time comes. The Phantom and I are both new companies, new people, and we don't have the idea of replacing anyone, not at all, we're just doing our own thing. ”
"What are the considerations for choosing a rookie director to play the role?"
"Because they're the best!" Li Donglai said categorically: "Please don't deliberately think about whether Teacher Heraldic and Teacher Xu Zhen have directing experience." Experience is naturally useful, but it can also become a shackle and constrain one's thoughts. On the contrary, it is the first time to direct, but there are many new ideas to express, and I will put more effort into it, which is what I care about. After all, no one is born with it, and if you don't take the first step, you will always be a newcomer. ”
"Then if the Phantom's next movie starts, will you continue to invite newcomers to be directors?"
Li Donglai laughed and said, "Haha, I really have this idea." Of course, this is also a coincidence. I was thinking about adapting an old movie, and I really needed such a person to take the lead, but it was still being discussed, and opening four sets at the same time was something that Phantom couldn't afford. "Iron Man 2" is almost ready, and I'll wait for this time to finish. ”
"Could it be Huang Bo? Rumor has it that you approached Huang Bo. The reporter asked.
"You said the actor, hehe......" Li Donglai smiled and said: "I have considered this." But Mr. Actor is too busy, and he has to discuss everything, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. ”
"The last question, it's not about movies. Your solo single 'higher' has been the US Billboard champion for two consecutive weeks, with sales exceeding 1.5 million copies, which is also a record for a Chinese singer and even an Asian singer. The song has not yet been released in the mainland, and I heard that Universal Music is pursuing you to sign a contract, have you ever thought about entering the music industry? ”
Li Donglai's face was grim and threatened: "You know too much! ”
