Fang Yan and Zhang Yimou talked and laughed, which attracted the attention of a group of people around them.

"That's Director Fang Yan, right?"

"That's right, it's him, the new generation of directors with the most momentum now."

"Tsk...... Winning the Golden Bear Award in his 20s is really amazing. ”

"People don't just want to win awards, they also want box office! His new movie is a commercial blockbuster, and even Liu Dehua and Ge You have been invited. ”

While everyone was talking, a tall middle-aged man with a big nose walked over and unceremoniously interrupted the conversation between Fang Yan and Zhang Yi.

"Yi, why don't you introduce me to a friend!"

Zhang Yi didn't feel angry about the middle-aged man's sudden interjection, he just smiled faintly.

"Wei Ping, you came just in time, let me introduce you, this is my junior brother Fang Yan, a talented film director."

This middle-aged man named Wei Ping is Zhang Yi's close partner - Zhang Weiping.

Regarding the grievances and grievances between Zhang Yi and Zhang Weiping, the story in it is exciting, and it can be made into a movie.

Before meeting Zhang Yi, Zhang Weiping's life had nothing to do with the word "movie", he was a very successful real estate businessman with strong financial strength.

In 1989, Zhang Weiping took his wife to attend a movie party, which was his first contact with the glamorous film industry, and it was also on this day that he met Zhang Yi.

At that time, Zhang Yimou had already won the Berlin Golden Bear Award for "Red Sorghum", and he was the first director to win the highest award at the three major European film festivals, and his reputation was very high.

During the party, Zhang Weiping took the opportunity to sit next to Zhang Yi, and the two chatted for a while and became friends.

At the beginning, the relationship between Zhang Yi and Zhang Weiping was very ordinary, they would call and greet each other, but they did not have any intention of cooperating.

It wasn't until 1996 that Zhang Yi was preparing to shoot "Something to Say", and it took him a lot of effort to negotiate an investor, but he didn't expect that before the film started, the investor would withdraw his investment.

"Drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle" is something that every director is afraid of, and Zhang Yi is sad all day long.

At this juncture, Zhang Weiping felt that it was the best time to buy people's hearts, and he generously donated 26 million yuan in the name of his friend.

Zhang Weiping is gambling, taking money to gamble on charcoal in the snow, judging from the final result, he is half winning and half losing.

The investment of 26 million in "Something to Say" finally achieved a box office of 46 million, which can be said to be very good.

But Zhang Weiping, a "layman", didn't know what the distribution right of the film was, he sold the film copyright to others at a price of 8 million, and he finally lost 18 million.

"Something to Say" made Zhang Weiping lose more than 10 million yuan, Zhang Yimou felt very embarrassed, but Zhang Weiping said it was okay: "This is not to make money, if you don't reach out at a critical moment, what do you want your friends to do." ”

In this way, Zhang Weiping successfully won Zhang Yi's trust, and the two became "iron buddies".

As the saying goes, Zhang Weiping, who fell behind in the film distribution right, immediately established a film company of his own: Imperial Capital New Picture Film Company.

Since then, all of Zhang Yi's movies have been cooperated with Zhang Weiping, and he has become a big man in the film industry.

"Director Fang is young, what a talent!"

Zhang Weiping shook hands with Fang Yan, and said with a sigh: "I really didn't know before, you and Yi Mou had such a good relationship." ”

The reason why Fang Yan became famous was because he won the Berlin Golden Bear Award, and when the domestic media published news at that time, they always deliberately emphasized the gimmick of "Fang Yan defeated Zhang Yi", which can be said to be stepping on one by one.

Affected by this incident, most people feel that the relationship between Fang Yan and Zhang Yi is not good, and it would be good if the two were not hostile to each other.

"Director Zhang is my senior, and he has always taken good care of me, and I am very grateful to him."

What Fang Yan said was not kind words, Zhang Yi was indeed very friendly to him, during the preparation of "No Thieves in the World" before, it was Zhang Yi who helped introduce him, and he met Uncle Ge.

Whoever is good to me, I will be good to whomever I am.

This is Fang Yan's principle of dealing with people, he has always remembered this favor, so no matter how busy he is, he has to find time to attend the premiere of Zhang Yi's movie.

Zhang Weiping laughed and quipped: "You and Yi are both Golden Bear Award winners, and they are indeed destined." ”

Immediately afterwards, he said casually: "It's a pity, if I had gone to Berlin at that time, I should have known you a long time ago." ”

Hearing this, Fang Yan felt a little playful in his heart, Zhang Weiping did not go to Berlin to participate in the film industry, and eighty percent of it was deliberate.

After all, the chairman of the jury is Gong Li, and the relationship between her and Zhang Weiping couldn't be worse.

Back then, Gong Li and Zhang Weiping's wife went to participate in a sponsored event, during which a sponsor stood in front of Gong Li and wanted to dance together.

There is nothing wrong with this, after all, between capital and actors, you come and go to take what you need, and no one will suffer, it's just a dance.

But at this event, another person with ulterior motives sent a photo of the sponsor and Gong Li "dancing face to face" to Gossip Weekly.

This incident made Zhang Yi very unhappy, Zhang Weiping and his wife, who were aware of this, comforted on the surface, but in fact, they mainly exposed every day, and did not say anything good about Gong Li in front of him, and they were complaining about Gong Li's big appetite and wanted to use Zhang Yi as a springboard.

In the end, Zhang Yi and Gong Li had a fierce quarrel, and Gong Li chose to break up and quit.

In the relationship between Zhang Yi and Gong Li, Zhang Weiping and his wife played a disgraceful role in it, which played a role in promoting the breakup of the two.

This is why, later in the contract of "The City Full of Golden Armor", Gong Li clearly stated the fundamental reason for refusing to see Zhang Weiping and his wife.

……………………

Because of the large number of guests at the premiere, Fang Yan and Zhang Yi couldn't talk for a long time.

"Xiao Fang, don't be in a hurry to leave after today's premiere, let's have a good chat."

"Okay, no problem."

Seeing that there were no people gathered around Zhang Yimou, Fang Yan turned around and left.

"Hello Director Fang, I am the general manager of XX Film Company, can you have a few words?"

"Director Fang, I'm disturbed by the first meeting, I'm the boss of XX Film and Television Company."

"Fang Dao, I'm ......"

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Fang Yan deeply realized this at this time, and a large number of strangers came up to him to get close to him, which made him a little overwhelmed.

"I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom."

Fang Yan was really overwhelmed, so he had to find an excuse to slip away.

"Oops......"

When he came out of the toilet, Fang Yan accidentally bumped into a person, and the other party stumbled under his feet and almost fell.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Fang Yan hurriedly apologized, but when he looked up carefully, he unexpectedly found that it was a beautiful woman.

It's just that although this beauty has a good appearance, she is poisonous on the inside, and she is a well-known "poisonous mushroom".
