Chapter 145: Cakes and Buns

How the Wang brothers and sisters should choose doesn't need Shao Yingying to worry about, what he has to worry about is the company's progress on next year's paving. At present, Huayi is determining the schedule with Li Lianjie, when the company contacted Li Lianjie, the script of "Ocean Paradise" was sent over, the total investment of the film is only 10 million, under the banner of public welfare films, Huayi Company announced that Wen Zhang starred with zero pay, and Zhang Xinyi, who replaced Gui Lunmei, also had zero pay, but just when Qiē was ready, Li Lianjie's agent came with very bad news, that is, Li Lianjie confirmed to participate in "Casting Names" and could not star in "Ocean Paradise".

It is very normal for the schedule to crash in the circle, not to mention that "Ocean Paradise" invites Li Lianjie in the name of "public welfare film" with zero remuneration for all of them, and it will naturally be at a disadvantage in the other party's choice, but in this way, "Ocean Paradise" instantly rarely has a very appealing actor......

If a film doesn't even have appeal, what public welfare is there to talk about?

Shao Yingying was in a hurry at this juncture of the New Year, the shooting of this kind of movie is much more troublesome than commercial films, and he has to find a replacement from his friends...... Liang Jiahui is definitely not good, Orange Sky and Huayi are in opposition, if it weren't for the early signing of the contract in "Embroidered Spring Knife", Liang Jiahui is likely to resign at the request of Wang Jinghua; Liang Chaowei can replace Li Lianjie, but everyone knows that he has been busy filming "Red Cliff" in 2007, and Shao Yingying does not have such a deep friendship with others; After thinking about it, Shao Yingying felt that he had to find Jiang Wen. Although there were no good commercial film results before "Let the Bullets Fly", the appeal of "Ginger Pattern" in China cannot be ignored. Secondly, Shao Yingying and Jiang Wen can open their mouths, and people are willing to open their mouths with people close to them once they have any difficulties.

"Brother. I'm in trouble. Shao Yingying said this directly when he called Jiang Wen.

"Say." Jiang Wen is not hypocritical, and there is no need for friendship between him and Shao Yingying.

Shao Yingying sighed and said: "Huayi plans to open a public welfare film, with zero salary and small investment, but now one of the leading actors has resigned, I can't catch anyone temporarily, and I will also have a drama next year, and the schedule will conflict with the public welfare film "Ocean Paradise". ”

"When will it turn on?"

"Summer."

"That's fine. I finished editing "The Sun Also Rises" and went. ”

Friendship will always allow you to break through the constraints in your career and take a big step forward.

Jiang Wen was determined to replace Li Lianjie. Shao Yingying asked people to send the script over, "Ocean Paradise" is completely knocked to death, in addition, Shao Yingying is still busy with several other scripts during the Chinese New Year. This New Year. Shao Yingying's donkey-like efforts are in order to have a good harvest in the film market next year.

At this moment, Zhongying's people called Shao Yingying, and this time, it was a bigwig-level figure who wanted to see him.

Third Master!

When he received this call, Shao Yingying was slightly stunned, he heard Wang Zhongjun say that the third master had called to inquire about the results of "The Grandmaster", but at that time he thought that this was politeness. I didn't expect that the third master, who had once set up an emperor for himself, would really send an invitation at this time.

After tidying up, Shao Yingying left home. Rushing to the agreed place on the almost desolate highway in the capital under the New Year's Pass, it was a teahouse.

The antique teahouse reminds people of the scenes in the TV series at a glance, and the decoration of the pure wooden structure makes people instantly stabilize their anxious hearts, especially the incense in the center of the teahouse, which is not as delicate as a woman's preference, with a kind of quiet that both men and women can adapt to.

Shao Yingying met the third master in such a place, one, who didn't seem to know how to describe it, and always felt that the person with this face didn't seem to be a man who should not climb to such a high position.

"Boss Shao, come, sit down."

The third master didn't get up, whether it was according to his age or seniority, he shouldn't have gotten up, even according to his identity.

Shao Yingying didn't lower his eyebrows too much, but just replied with a smile: "Xiao Shao, just call Xiao Shao." ”

The third master entered quietly, and reached a state where no matter what attitude others used towards him, he was so unchanged: "I watched "The Grandmaster", it is very good, in addition to the story is too simple, the use of lenses, the use of equipment, and the use of skills are very particular......"

This is a kind word, Shao Yingying automatically filters, how can a person as busy as the third master have the time to carefully study the lens when watching a movie? Anyway, Shao Yingying felt that "The Grandmaster" couldn't reach that point, even if Wang Jiawei used a lot of work. It is likely that the third master heard that the equipment used in "The Grandmaster" is very advanced, so he simply praised the lens when he praised the equipment, and the praise of the lens would naturally piggyback on the boasting skills.

"I really have a ...... for you to boast about it Excuse me. Shao Yingying didn't pretend to be fake, and said honestly: "The key is that the movie is not made by me, nor is it my creativity, I just invest ......"

"What's so embarrassing about that? If there are more investors like you in China, then the number of good movies will increase a lot, which will also contribute to the film market. ”

After the third master said this, he looked up at Shao Yingying's expression, and when he saw that the other party was a little restrained, he said: "Xiao Shao, I called Wang Zhongjun before, saying that you "The Grandmaster" will celebrate you as long as you come up with a good result, it seems that I am going to break my promise, I will be very busy in a few days, the expansion of domestic digital cinemas cannot rely on the support of the Film Bureau and the state, and capable businessmen should also contribute, and my work will be more spread on this next, understand more." The third master slowly picked up the teacup, moistened his lips and said: "After all, the entertainment company has its own theater line, which is also a kind of expression of the company's industrial chain, what do you think?" ”

"Should, should."

Shao Yingying understands what the other party means, the country is now encouraging a comprehensive change of the theater line, but this cannot completely rely on national investment, there are only a few large domestic companies, and there are only so many that have made achievements, and there is no need to count on the loss of more than 300 million yuan in the heart, then there are two families in the city, Orange Sky and Huayi, he asked Shao Yingying to be justified, who let him say before that he would help Shao Yingying celebrate his success, this is not even a lie, even if the other party may not take it seriously.

"Okay." The third master used a word of admiration, but his face was still noncommittal: "The state intends to encourage the digitalization of cinemas, so it will naturally give some convenience......"

"Chairman Han." Shao Yingying interrupted the other party's words at this time: "How much time do you have today?" If time permits, can I give the other two shareholders of our company a call, I think all three of us should come and listen. ”

How could Shao Yingying let go of this great opportunity? It was only a few days after he hooked Wang Zhongjun's side, and the third master found the door, if he didn't quickly find the Wang family brothers, wouldn't the duck in hand not know where to fly?

"I'm not busy today, it's okay to call Zhongjun and Zhonglei, let's discuss it together."

Shao Yingying hurriedly went to make a phone call to Wang Zhongjun, and said on the phone: "Mr. Wang, the third master asked us to have tea, in the teahouse not far from your house......"

After making the call, Shao Yingying was afraid of embarrassment and pulled the topic elsewhere: "Chairman Han, I heard that Zhongying invested in "Casting Names"? ”

Han San smiled: "That's right, it's invested." He added: "The story structure of Hollywood is different from that of our country's audience, and people use a story that is too simple to be simple with stars and special effects, and when they get it to us, someone will buy it, but if we dare to do this, sooner or later we will have to break ourselves, because the contrast is too strong." Later, I thought about it carefully for a long time, since I can't catch up with other people's technology for the time being, let's start with the model, don't you bring a 'star-studded' trend on the small screen, I think this technique must also work on the big screen. The lineup of "Casting Names" is also suitable, Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, Jin Chengwu, plus Wei Zhangwan, Gu Baoming, Wang Kuirong and other old actors, the box office is not low after filming. ”

Shao Yingxing likes to find friends to make cameo appearances to play star cards when filming TV series, but Shao Yingxing's emotional investment and human exchange are exchanged, and "Vote for Fame" smashes money, which is a real banknote.

"Yes, there are many Hollywood blockbusters such as "Ocean's Eleven" that play star cards......"

When the two of them were chatting about other movies without words, Wang Zhongjun came, and when he saw that Shao Yingying was already sitting opposite Han Sanping, he hurriedly went over to compensate: "Chairman Han, I'm really sorry, I'm late, don't you pay you first...... So, let's change places, and you give me a chance to toast you in person. ”

"What do you say, Loyal Army, I'm so stingy?"

Shao Yingying looked at the attitudes of Wang Zhongjun and the third master, and knew that the relationship between these two people was not ordinary.

"Mr. Wang, Chairman Han is looking for us this time, but it's a good thing." As soon as Wang Zhongjun sat down, Shao Yingying said: "Chairman Han can say that next year, the state will give certain policy convenience to individuals and entertainment companies that build digital cinemas, and encourage the digitalization of cinemas across the country." ”

Hearing these two words, Wang Zhongjun didn't even have time to take off the black coat on his body, and asked first: "Chairman Han, is this true?" ”

"It's true."

After the third master answered, he repeated what he had just said, and also said a lot of new content, such as giving loan support in order to reduce the financial pressure on entertainment companies to build theaters; Another example is that Zhongying will respond to the call of the country and make concessions at the box office......

After a series of affordable policies were announced in advance, the expression on Wang Zhongjun's face became more and more complicated, and he didn't know what to say.

It's like a person with a cake in his hand who sees a basket of freshly baked buns in front of him, and a person who is used to living a poor life is both reluctant to have bread and wants buns. (To be continued......)
