Chapter 82: Painting Cakes All Over the Sky, Not Giving More Money......
Shao Yingying and Wang Zhongjun have his reasons for taking a month, and the reason is very simple, he wants to write a book and find a book.
The book Shao Yingying is looking for is Ning Hao's "Crazy Gem", which first appeared in a script contest held in Xiangjiang and was the champion of the script contest. In the second year, Ning Hao also won the championship of another script competition with another script, and these two script competitions are the predecessors of the "Asian Rising Star Director Program" plan, after the two script competitions, the new star director program was fully launched, at this time, Mr. Liu Dehua found Ning Hao and told him that he was the director of the new star director program to sponsor, but he wanted the script "Crazy Gem" from the previous session.
The later story is even simpler, because of investment, Ning Hao changed "Crazy Jewel" to "Crazy Stone" The film caused a wave and also made Ning Hao's name, so when Ning Hao mentioned the person he needed to thank ten years later, he still thanked Mr. Liu Dehua, not anyone else, even if he had finished filming his directorial debut "Incense" in O3.
Shao Yingying contacted Ning Hao and did not know GuΓ² Huayi, so Zhang Wan touched it while he didn't know anything about this director. Now the name of 'Shao Yingying Studio' has become a label in the TV drama circle, as long as Zhang Wan says that Shao Yingying intends to support new directors, Ning Hao, who suffers from lack of investment, must hand over the book. Shao Yingying is rich and willing to support newcomers, which everyone knows.
At the same time, Zhang Wan brought good news to Shao Yingying, Hou Yong signed a contract.
The studio has reliable photography, has its own team, and now has found Ning Hao again, and has also got the script of "Crazy Gems", Shao Yingying feels that he has enough hole cards. What is missing now is an opportunity, an opportunity to make a name for yourself as a studio in the film market, this opportunity. It's Wei Jiahui.
If you want to get Wei Jiahui, you have to prove that Huayi's ability and the film and television manufacturing industry of the big 6 are not what they used to be, Shao Yingying's own script is called "Embroidered Spring Knife", and the book he plans to ask Wei Jiahui to shoot is "Accident", and the script he brought over for Wei Jiahui to read is "Crazy Stone", he wants to prove that the big 6 not only has good photography, good production, but also good scripts and good actors, this is a mature market. The box office miracle of "Hero" proves that this market has always been waiting for talented people.
Since Wei Jiahui wants the audience to return to the cinema to buy tickets, then give him a mature market and a mature manufacturer, Shao Yingying doesn't believe that Wei Jiahui, who has seen the return of the Xiangjiang market, will stick to the old rules.
Get these three playbooks ready. Shao Yingying and Wang Jinghua flew to Xiangjiang, they chartered a teahouse, and Wang Jinghua used his connections in Xiangjiang to make an appointment with Wei Jiahui.
This date is very simple, it is impossible for Wei Jiahui not to know that Du Qifeng and Hua Yi are deadlocked. If Wei Jiahui can come. That means you can talk, and if you can't come, it means that there is no hope at all. If this is the case, Shao Yingying will put away all these three scripts, give Ning Hao money to let him get "Crazy Stone", and enter the film market alone with the team that finished filming "Soldier Assault", this time, he will not compromise. There will not even be any concessions.
The date is about half past two in the afternoon, which is the time for Xiangjiang people to have afternoon tea. As a result, Wei Jiahui and Wang Jinghua almost stepped into the teahouse back and forth, and the time was two o'clock in the afternoon.
Hopeful.
Shao Yingying had already seen this when he saw Wei Jiahui, who had a modest attitude, because there was no arrogance on his face, and he reached out very calmly to show friendship.
"Xiao Shao, meet again."
When Wei Jiahui said this sentence with a smile, Shao Yingying glanced back at Wang Jinghua, Wang Jinghua helped translate this sentence, and her perennial work with Xiangjiang artists made her Cantonese progress very quickly, and now she has reached the point where she can talk freely with Xiangjiang people.
"Oh......" Shao Yingying smiled and interjected when he heard Wang Jinghua translate this sentence, they have cooperated, and it is normal for Wei Jiahui to say this sentence: "Brother Hui is a busy man, and it is our recklessness to ask you to make an appointment." β
He can not compromise or regress, but he must give others face.
"You can't really ask me out for tea, right? Do you want to try two steamed dumplings? Wei Jiahui made a joke that was not big or small.
Wang Jinghua smiled and shook her head to translate, she didn't expect Wei Jiahui's personality to be so good, and he didn't have the shelf of a big-name director.
Shao Yingying took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Hui, I don't know what you think of the Xiangjiang Film Market?" β
"What else can you see? Piracy is rampant, bad movies are all over the place, and making a good movie depends on who plays it, if the starring fanbase is not big enough to support the box office, it will not be the same as hitting the street. Now that the Xiangjiang market has reached the bottom, the audience is no longer willing to enter the theater because of the wonderful Cheng dΓΉ of the plot, film reviews and trailers, but to see if there are any stars they like in the movie, if not, the same is true for watching pirated versions. "Wei Jiahui is very honest and honest, the current Xiangjiang movies are really a star policy, desperately stuffing stars into the movie to attract attention.
The current atmosphere of the conversation is very friendly, and Shao Yingying simply went straight to the point: "Did Brother Hui think of the idea of making a movie in Big 6?" What do you think of the Big 6 Film Market? β
Wei Jiahui glanced at Shao Yingying, even if he had already understood why Shao Yingying wanted to ask him before he came, but at this time he still said like a hook: "I have to admit that the big 6 market has great potential, even greater than the potential of the whole of Asia combined, I like this market environment very much." It's just ......" he said with some embarrassment: "Nowadays, there are fewer movie themes in the big 6 market, your company's Chinese New Year films occupy half of the country, and Hollywood blockbusters occupy half of the country. Do you know what I'm seeing? It is another reincarnation of Xiangjiang movies. β
"The big 6 market has not been fully opened so far, if it is really like Xiangjiang movies, only one theme is filmed to death, and the next theme is remembered only when it is filmed badly, in addition to following the trend to make money, the audience's feelings are not considered at all, then this market will collapse sooner or later. I might as well stay here. Maybe then, there will be some new hope here. β
People who have watched Xiangjiang movies turn from prosperity to decline may have such doubts about the big 6 market, because they have seen death. Naturally, they will have a fear of the new life, and the new life will definitely face the next death, which is the old thinking about reincarnation in their memory.
In fact, Shao Yingying, who knows the history of film exhibitions in the next ten years, is optimistic about this, the big 6 is not without the phenomenon of following the trend, after films such as "Hero" and "Durala" have emerged, there are many movies that follow the trend, but most of the follow-up movies can still find their own market and bring out some changes. There is no zombie film fire in the Xiangjiang Film Market, so the market is full of zombie films this year. Perhaps, this is the countermeasure made by the big 6 filmmakers after the Xiangjiang market gave a lesson. It's good to say that it's self-conscious. Consciously carry out a lot of follow-up avoidance, at least in the history that Shao Yingying knows, this situation does not appear.
However, how could he guarantee Wei Jiahui?
You can't put your arms around people's shoulders and say. Dude knows 500 years later, right?
"Brother Hui. You look at these three books. β
Shao Yingying took out the three scripts from his bag.
Wei Jiahui just wanted to excuse himself and said that he had read the script of "Accident", and it was indeed well written, but when he saw that it was three scripts, he was stunned.
"One of these three scripts is the movie "Accident" that I am planning to shoot, the other is the film "Crazy Gem" that I am preparing to invest in, and the other is the pending film "Embroidered Spring Knife". These three books have very different styles and are different, and the reason why I asked Brother Hui to read these three books is to prove that Hua Yi and Shao Yingying's studio have enough resources. There will never be a reproduction of the situation that the Heung Kong Company even has to copy its own company's popular movies; In addition, we do not deny that Huayi has just experienced a box office failure due to piracy. This also shows that we will pay more attention to the confrontation with piracy, and with these two points, Brother Hui's question will be answered. β
Wei Jiahui picked up the "Embroidered Spring Knife" that he was interested in and looked at it a few times, the whole script from the killing of Wei Zhongxian to the plot after it was linked one by one, there were no too big scenes but enough conflicts were created, this is the style of the movie he likes, although he didn't finish reading the entire script, but he likes this style very much.
Wei Jiahui doesn't want his own style, if the style can make the audience enter the cinema, he won't think of other ways.
"Mr. Shao, what do you mean......" His address to Shao Yingying changed, because Shao Yingying is also a boss in this circle, uh, even if he is not Huayi's boss yet.
Shao Yingying said: "It proves that we have enough talents to prepare a good enough script for you, not a single choice, but a selection, in a market that is not known how many times larger than the Xiangjiang market, choose your favorite style, and choose the script that suits you." In other words, the purpose of our visit this time is to prove that Huayi is stronger than any film company in Hong Kong, and we sincerely invite Mr. Wei Jiahui to join us. β
Wang Jinghua interjected at this moment: "If Mr. Wei Jiahui is willing to join Huayi, we are willing to increase your treatment by 2o% and the box office share from 1.5 net profit points to 2 net profit points according to the Galaxy Galaxy, and give you the absolute right to speak in the movie. β
This temptation is a bit big.
In Xiangjiang, the sworn enemy relationship between directors and producers often makes directors who lack the right to speak suffocate to death in their own films, but Hua Yi solved these problems for Wei Jiahui, and also provided him with enough scripts to choose from, promising to invest as long as he picked out the favorite among these scripts......
In other words, Wei Jiahui does not have to give up his style to find his own world in the new market!
"Of course, we also have our requirements, first, you have to be the director of the film "Accident"; Second, no matter which script you choose to shoot after directing "Accident", the first film after joining Huayi will only have a fund of 10 million. Brother Hui, we know that such conditions are very harsh, and we also know that "Infernal Affairs" is a high-quality product, but our sisters also have bosses above their heads, right? As long as Brother Hui comes up with a blockbuster movie, everyone will have room to discuss the next investment. You, look at the script, by the way, think about it? Shao Yingying threw such a big piece of cake and didn't believe that Wei Jiahui was not moved, who didn't know that Hua Yi invested 130 million in "Night Banquet"? Will people like Wei Jiahui admit that they are worse than Feng Xiaogang? No way!
In other words, Wei Jiahui is now facing the giant wave SS of Huayi, which is much more generous than the investment of Xiangjiang Films...... (To be continued......)
