Chapter 40: Handsome Girl
Imperial Capital Film Factory and Huayi Film Company, the reason why Fang Yan chose these two is also because of his own considerations.
First of all, these two are local units and companies in the imperial capital, so it is easy to find and there is no need to travel far.
Secondly, both of these have strong resources and capabilities in film, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
As one of the old film studios in China, Imperial Capital Film Factory has a rich reserve of shooting equipment and professionals, and it has to invest or shoot many movies by itself every year.
In terms of disadvantages, the internal system of state-owned units is too rigid, and investment in filming depends more on the preferences of the leaders, and it is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to get investment from it.
Compared with the Imperial Capital Film Factory, Huayi Film Company's qualifications can be said to be pitiful, and it has only just set foot in the film industry.
Huayi started by making advertising films, and it has only invested in filming movies since last year, if the Imperial Capital Film Factory is a long-established boss on the rivers and lakes, then Huayi is just a young rookie who has just entered the rivers and lakes.
But as the saying goes, don't bully young people into poverty. At this time, Huayi has shown its potential and has become a force to be reckoned with in the film industry.
In 1998, Huayi successively invested in Chen Kaige's "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming", and Feng Xiaogang's "Endless".
The movies of the first two directors, the final result was that "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" was a miserable box office, and he didn't even return to the book, and "The Devil is Coming" did not pass the review directly, which gave Huayi a big blow.
Only the movie "Endless", with a box office score of 30 million, successfully continued the undefeated record of Feng's film New Year.
It is precisely because of the success of this movie that the Wang brothers, the bosses of Huayi Company, completely strengthened their determination to hug Feng Xiaogang's thighs, and gave them generous conditions to bring this domestic commercial film director under their command.
Since then, Huayi has become the most powerful company in the domestic entertainment industry with two fierce generals - director Feng Xiaogang and agent Wang Jinhua.
Although Huayi's reputation in the future is not very good, as a commercial film company, its brilliant achievements cannot be ignored.
According to the original history, when Lu Chuan filmed the movie "Ke Ke Xili", the investor at that time was Huayi Company.
With this advantage, Fang Yan went to Huayila to invest, which can improve the success rate a lot.
Of course, it doesn't hurt to go to Huayi. Because of investing in art films, Huayi has lost several times in succession, and it is very difficult to find it to attract investment at present.
In addition, Huayi invests in films and likes to interfere with the work of the crew, if he really cooperates with it, it will definitely affect Fang Yan's directorial authority.
Different from the Buddhist system of the film studio, Huayi, as a commercial film company, everything is based on profits, and there is a great possibility that it will designate the roles in the film to be played by actors from its own company.
For this situation, Fang Yan never wants to see it, so Huayi can only be an alternative, and he will not go to it unless he has to.
"If you want to find the Imperial Capital Film Factory, I should be able to find someone to help."
Zhang Jiandong recalled and said: "I mentioned to you before that the people from the Imperial Capital Film Factory are very optimistic about you and want to recruit you in, now I will contact you, and the other party should be willing to help."
Fang Yan said gratefully: "Teacher Zhang, everything will trouble you."
Zhang Jiandong sighed and said, "I'll do my best, you have to make other preparations yourself, don't put all your hopes on me."
"Ahem......"
Liu Shixian coughed twice deliberately and raised his eyebrows at Fang Yan.
As mentioned before, Liu Shixian is the second generation of officials, and his father is the deputy director of the Imperial Capital Film Factory.
Regarding his family affairs, Liu Shixian has never publicized it, and in addition to Fang Yan, even Zhang Jiandong, the head teacher, is not clear.
Facing Liu Shixian's hint, Fang Yan immediately understood what he meant-Brother, don't worry, I will definitely help with this matter!
Good brother, that's interesting!
With Liu Shixian's help, Fang Yan felt a lot more at ease.
…………
Two days later, the imperial capital railway station.
As one of the largest railway stations in the country, the Imperial Capital Railway Station receives a large number of passengers every day, with an average daily passenger flow of hundreds of thousands or even millions.
"Ugh—hasn't it arrived yet?"
At the exit of the train station, Fang Yan was crowded in the crowd, and his whole body was hot to death.
This is not the worst thing, there are a few flowery women next to Fang Yan, they are holding signs for eating and lodging in their hands, and the smell of inferior perfume on their bodies is so bad that people can't open their eyes.
"Boss, do you need to eat?"
"Handsome guy, don't be in a hurry to leave, let's take a look at the accommodation."
As soon as a male passenger appeared, the women would pretend to shout coquettishly, and the posture was very eye-catching.
No, I'd better hurry up and change places!
Standing next to these women, Fang Yan always felt that others looked at him a little strangely, and he really couldn't hold on.
Just as Fang Yan was about to leave, the person he was waiting for finally appeared.
Fang Yao was holding a suitcase in his hand and a large backpack on his body, and his panting appearance looked quite pitiful.
Because there were too many people, Fang Yao stood at the exit and kept looking, but he never found Fang Yan.
"Miss, do you need a ride?" A young brother appeared and began to pester Fang Yao.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yan walked over with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.
"This beauty, do you need a lodging and rest?"
"I don't ......"
Fang Yao was very annoyed, and just wanted to refuse but found that it was Fang Yan, so she unceremoniously threw her luggage over.
"Hurry up, I can't wait!"
Fuck, this woman's attitude is too contrasting!
The young brother was dumbfounded, and for a while he had doubts about his appearance.
is also pulling business, why are others so relaxed, just because they are handsome?
Fang Yan gave the little brother a look of pity, and led Fang Yao to leave with a big swagger.
"Sister, why are you bringing so many things?"
Fang Yan checked the backpack in his hand, it was really heavy, I really didn't know how Fang Yao could carry it as a girl.
Fang Yao rubbed her sore shoulders and said helplessly, "No way, it's all stuffed in by our mother."
"Are you going to eat first, or do you want to go home first?"
"Let's go home first, I'm sweating, I need to take a shower and rest first."
…………
In the evening, the private restaurant of Sichuan Mansion.
Fang Yao likes to eat Sichuan food, in order to catch her wind and wash the dust, Fang Yan specially booked this restaurant in advance.
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Yan discovered something new, Jing Meng actually asked for help.
This is a young girl, tall and heroic, and looks a little familiar.
"Welcome!" After the girl said coolly, she continued to wipe the table with her head down.
Fang Yan was surprised: "It's not easy, old man, you are finally willing to ask for help."
"Go, go, you can't talk!" Jing Meng blew his beard and glared and said, "This is my granddaughter, not a helper."
"Uh...... Excuse me. ”
Fang Yan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I heard you say before, you don't have any relatives in the emperor?"
"My granddaughter is from Sichuan Province."
Jing Meng explained impatiently, and then said: "My granddaughter came to see me today, I originally wanted to return your reservation, but my granddaughter didn't let me."
"Haha, I think I'm lucky."
Fang Yan looked at the girl on the side and jokingly said, "I have to thank you, otherwise I won't be able to eat this meal today."
The girl shook her head and said bluntly, "No thanks, it's my reason."
At this moment, Fang Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and finally remembered why this girl looked familiar.
