Chapter 260 2002
Chu Qing was actually very disgusted.
Because Zhang Ming is Jia Zhangke's teacher, he had a small meeting before, and he couldn't talk about friendship, but he threw over Ning Hao coldly.
As soon as the new "Film Management Regulations" was passed, the domestic gang of money masters were all cowardly, for fear of being punished. Lao Jia, Lou Ye, and Wang Xiaoshuai are okay, at least their reputation is mixed, and if they can get foreign funds, the little director will be forced to work hard, and there is no way to live.
What's the matter now, I can't find the master, and I am wronged?
and Lao Jia, even if the two of them have a good relationship, they are quite unhappy with what he did this time, and the meaning is obvious: Anyway, you are banned, not bad.
!
You think I'm willing to be banned! Haven't I been a little bit confused? I don't care, I'm calm, I don't hang the film bureau, so is it because I didn't choose to do it?
The so-called desirelessness is rigid, sometimes it is really forced, in other words, this concept: broken cans and broken falls.
Of course, he is not dissatisfied with his own situation, but he is very satisfied, but this kind of satisfaction only exists in his heart, in the funny days with Fan Xiaoye, in the income that is enough to spend, and in the life without waves.
I think so, but you can't give me a stamp: independence, freedom, individuality, rebellion against tyranny, pursuit of art, love of career, and even bring new people.
!
Is this me? I don't even know each other. Anyway, I like to do what I do, not that you think, "I have to like what I do." ”
Well, complain and complain, the book still has to be watched, because he really likes movies.
The script is called "Incense", a realistic theme, telling the story of a monk who turned his fortune everywhere in order to repair the temple. The monk was upright, unwilling to open the light to cheat money, and suffered a series of setbacks. Finally, I couldn't help but flicker the money, but I waited for a piece of paper: the government wants to demolish the temple.
Fan Xiaoye flipped through it first, but he was not interested, so he sent it to his boyfriend neatly. She has no attitude, she looks like a rich woman, anyway, the money is enough, there are still two million in the studio account, plus the savings of the two, it is estimated that it can reach five million. Invest in a low-budget movie, it's a drizzle!
Chu Qing couldn't. He had to think it through.
When "This Summer" was filmed, it was a girlfriend in it, and it was said that it was necessary to stand up, but what is "Incense"? Come on! He is not a state-owned enterprise, a private enterprise, or a TV station, he earns all his hard-earned money, and if he spends five * cents, he will lose five * cents.
Therefore, in the first step, he asked Guan Jinpeng and Chen Guo to help with details.
The two have read the script and have a more unified opinion. This thing is very good, with feelings and sincerity, especially Chen Guo. As a big name in realistic movies, he simply loves this story.
As a filmmaker, you can make up for your lack of skills. If the consciousness is not enough, it can be honed, if there is a lack of sincerity. The soul of that life was lost. Ning Hao undoubtedly crossed the threshold of the three seniors at this point.
The second step is to study the issue of distribution and whether it can be profitable.
This is more consistent, don't even think about the domestic release, you can only send it to the exhibition, it seems that the Germans like this kind of film. If the director's strength is qualified, it is not an extravagant hope to mix a few small awards.
So, Chu Qing contacted Ning Hao again and asked him to send some works to see. Ning Hao sent several MVs he had filmed before, as well as the graduation work "Thursday, Wednesday" of Normal University.
Soon, the Hong Kong side replied to the message, with suggestions for script revision, and talked to him about shooting ideas, which was extremely detailed in all aspects. He didn't feel the turtle hair, but thought that the other party was more professional, much stronger than the master in heaven and earth, and he had the courage to meet the myth of martial arts, Zhang Zhenren, sweeping monk, Dugu seeking defeat or something.
The third step, which is the most important, is risk avoidance.
The producer of the film must not write the name of the studio, it is purely looking for death. Ah Guan proposed to build a small company in Hong Kong......
Oops!
Chu Qing felt quite reliable, but he didn't have a Hong Kong ID card and didn't know how to operate, so he first marked Ah Guan, and then dragged Chen Guo into it in vain, and the three of them invested some money, and a hard-working broken company was established. The three goods hid behind the scenes and pretended to be the boss, and brought a buddy as the manager, responsible for leading mines everywhere.
People start companies to launder money, and they open companies to launder movies.
Waiting for the project of "Incense" to be agreed, it has been several months, Chu Qing spent money to build a team, regardless of the shooting, all the profits were received, and Ning Hao only received the director's remuneration.
As for when to turn on, it depends on Ning Hao's time, he is a student in school, and he is unwilling to skip class, either summer or winter vacation, and decides for himself.
Chu Qing didn't think about acting, firstly, the time was uncertain, and secondly, he avoided appearance, saving the chrysanthemum of some people, which was also a kind of protection for Ning Hao.
Of course, this is all for later, so I won't mention it for the time being.
…………
On New Year's Day this year, Chu Qing had a very fulfilling life.
The night before, that is, on December 31, the big-nosed singer invited him to watch his New Year's Eve concert, and then called a group of friends to have a party.
With a group of inexplicable stars, a piece of New Year's countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...... He thought it was a stupid thing.
He tossed and turned all night, and ushered in the first day of 2002 in exhaustion, and then he didn't think about anything else, and hurried home to sleep, because there was still a show at night.
It is said that Chu Qing has been very depressed recently, and he is a little afraid to be bolted.
The form of the stage play is the process of stumbling with the audience, face to face, voice to voice, the people below are staring, the slightest mistake is exposed.
You think, 18 scenes, one every other day, all of them are more than 30 days, you have to devote yourself wholeheartedly, and you basically can't do anything else. He hasn't taken on the scene for four months since he finished filming "Love Jun Like a Dream", he is addicted, he can't find an antidote, and his heart is always in decline.
Fall all day long! Stumble! Stumble!
But there are gains, at least his body movements are more open and free than before. The face hiding behind the mask, conceiving various simulated scenes, with strange expressions, or a cheap fall, or a lewd * slutty fall, or a stupid fall, or a perverted * murderous maniac fall...... You can play as much as you want, and no one else can see it anyway.
In addition to these, he also learned a truth: no great comedian thinks he is funny.
Although Chu Qing is still far from greatness, his journey has begun.
The hardships of the days have come to the end of January in a blink of an eye.
"Tin Tin Beer Bear" finally ended, thanks to him, not only did he not lose money, but also made a small profit, Zhan Ruiwen sealed a red envelope for him to express his heart.
And "Love Jun Like a Dream" has long been offline, and the final box office is more than 17 million, ranking ninth in the 2001 box office list, and the champion is naturally Zhou Xingxing's "Shaolin Football".
There is no money to be made at all, Andy, Amei and Wu Junru's salaries account for most of it, and it is impossible to distribute it in the mainland, so it can only rely on the income of Taiwan, Japan and South Korea to slowly return to the market.
That's it, what surprised him was that the filmmaker actually signed him up for Best Supporting Actor at this year's Academy Awards. "Lan Yu" is absolutely OK over there, if this side is shortlisted again, there will be a scene where one person competes for the male protagonist and supporting actor at the same time.
Well, sometimes I really can't figure out the situation, is he red or not? Thisisaquestion。
……
Canopy, office.
"Bang!"
Mak Shaotang arranged a stack of articles on the table, obviously unable to control his anger, and asked, "Andy, what's the matter?" ”
"What's going on?" Liu Dehua asked rhetorically.
"Don't pretend to be confused, why didn't you sign?"
"I don't think it's up to standard, so I didn't sign it!"
"Not up to par?"
Mai Shaotang waved his arm violently and said loudly: "Hantec Securities has promised to underwrite 80 million Hong Kong dollars!" Now it is the first month of the new year, good times and good times, the company is listed and sold at this time, and it must be good! ”
He was so angry that he pointed at the other party and said, "Just because you turned back on the spot, do you know how much we lost?" ”
"Smack!"
Liu Dehua, who has always been kind, couldn't bear it, patted the armrest of the chair, got up and said: "The company obviously has not reached the listing standard, if it is forcibly listed, it will ......."
He paused and said, "No matter what, I can't cheat fans out of their money!" ”
"You!"
Mai Shaotang couldn't stand this naïve idea at all, and was about to refute it when he opened his mouth, but he opened his mouth, gave up, sat on the sofa, and lit a cigar.
Ya entered the Tianmu, originally in order to concoct a listed company mainly engaged in entertainment, he was extremely confident in his manipulation methods, not to mention Liu Dehua's excellent fame assist, hype, and immediately sell shares to cash out.
The fate of this kind of company has no good results at all, it is lively for a while, brushing the market for a few days, and then properly hitting the street, but it is the shareholders who are hard.
Andy was afraid of this, so he didn't dare to sign rashly.
Mai Shaotang's plan to make money was broken, and he was naturally furious, but after all, the two had a honeymoon period before, and they had a good relationship, he was not good at Chiguoguo's breakup, so he eased his feelings, and continued to persuade: "Andy, I arranged for Tianmu and Oriental Entertainment to be listed at the same time, raising 80 million yuan, according to this estimate, Tianmu's valuation can reach 360 million!" We each have half of the equity, and the value has appreciated to 160 million in an instant, so think about it, which line of work can have a return of 60 million a year? Don't be rash! ”
Liu Dehua also suppressed the ups and downs, and said firmly: "Mr. Mai, I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more." The canopy can be listed, but definitely not now. ”
“OK!”
“OK!”
Mai Shaotang said twice, waved his hand with his cigar, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will leave first." ”
With that, he walked quickly out of the office.
Andy watched him go out, depressed, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. He knew the consequences, his contracts were signed in the canopy, involving many matters and huge amounts, and if the two parties really wanted to go to court, it would not be a trivial matter.
It is possible to even go bankrupt.
