Capital is the most realistic.

It is said that since the beginning of the nineties, mainland capital has been chasing Hong Kong stars.

For what? It's not about making money yet!

For this reason, they can tolerate any special treatment, and they don't have to suffer investors anyway.

But now that the is about to blow up, then capital will naturally turn its face and deny people.

It's just that this wave of Hong Kong stars is really a little wronged.

You must know that in recent years, there has always been an argument about the decline of Hong Kong stars, but it has never had much impact on the Hong Kong circle. At least in the domestic entertainment industry, the attraction of the Hong Kong circle is still first-class.

However, the three international superstars who broke into Hollywood, coupled with the fantastic lineup of Oscar directors, failed to support the box office, which is undoubtedly a blow to the domestic investors.

For the Hong Kong circle, it is really a dimensionality reduction blow.

Although this wave of blows, for them...... It's a bit unexpected.

……

2008, 14 June.

Shanghai International Film Festival, industry forum scene.

When Gao Fei arrived in a hurry, he saw that the audience was full of media reporters, and there were four sofas on the stage for several elders to make speeches.

Seeing this, Goofy quietly walked to the empty seat in the back row and sat down.

At this time, Yu Dong on the stage was also talking about the recent trend in the circle.

"In the coming years, Bernard Media will mainly consider co-productions as well as medium-cost films."

"In my view, films with an investment cost in the range of 10 million to 70 million will occupy the main market of the domestic film industry in the next few years."

Speaking of this, I saw him glance at Wang Jiawei on the stage with a smile, and then laughed at himself:

"So like a Uranus superstar or something, Berner probably can't afford it."

"In the future, Bernard Media will focus on the quality of the film, and as for the cast or something, it will no longer be our priority."

As soon as this remark came out, some reporters thought that Yu Dong was advertising for Berner, but the well-informed group of industry insiders understood what he was talking about.

You must know that among the major private film and television companies in China, Berner and Hong Kong are the closest. The distribution business of Hong Kong films in the mainland is almost all taken over by Berner.

Although Bernard has begun to get involved in the field of film production in recent years, he still cooperates with those Hong Kong filmmakers and Hong Kong stars.

Therefore, no one knows better than Yu Dong what those people are doing.

It's just that in order to monopolize the resources of Hong Kong films, and he was indeed fooled by the box office appeal of those people, Yu Dong did not make any less profits in the past.

It can be said that this time the "King of Kung Fu" hit the street, although the Huayi brothers are the producers, but Yu Dong is more angry than the Wang brothers.

I have to say that the reality is sometimes even more absurd than that.

After all, not long ago, Yu Dong and the Wang brothers were still fighting openly and secretly, and they wanted each other to die, but the professional two parties became difficult brothers.

As soon as Yu Dong's words came out on the stage, Gao Fei in the audience suddenly smiled with a strange expression.

No way, he's really won a little bit in the past two days.

He obviously didn't do anything, just silently filmed in the crew, but one movie invitation after another came like raindrops like him.

In just one week, I received nearly 20 scripts.

This is still the result of Han Li passing through the sieve, otherwise the final number will be more.

Of course, Goofy has only one body and only 24 hours a day. He has no skills, and he may not be able to eat all these breads in the end.

But even so, Goofy was still happy in his heart.

And just as Goofy was stealing music in the audience, Han Li suddenly quietly walked up to him and whispered a few words to him.

So I saw Gao Fei's face immediately straightened, and he followed Han Li towards the backstage.

……

"Mr. Ren, I have admired my name for a long time, and today I finally got to see the real person!"

After entering a small box, Gao Fei saw a middle-aged man with a thin figure and elegant temperament sitting inside, so Gao Fei took the initiative to greet him with a smile.

Because this is the main reason that prompted him to participate in this Shanghai Film Festival.

Speaking of which, although the Shanghai Film Festival is the first international A-category film festival in China to be recognized by the International Film Producers Association, and one of the 15 international A-category film festivals in the world, it has been held since 1993.

However, its presence in the country is really not high!

If it weren't for the fact that he was coming over to walk the red carpet this time and temporarily make up some classes, Gao Fei really didn't know that there was a "Golden Goblet Award" in China.

Thinking about it this way, the previous Golden Jue Actors are still quite aggrieved, after all, taking it is the same as not taking it!

Of course, Gao Fei's slander is naturally unknown.

And after Gao Fei came in, Ren Zhongyan's attitude did not put on any show, and after a few words of greeting, he chatted with him about the history of Shangying with emotion.

Gao Fei knows a little about this.

Because Shanghai Film Studio is the main body, Shanghai Film Group Company was established in 2001.

It's just that Gao Fei doesn't know much about it.

Therefore, I saw Ren Zhonglun say with emotion:

"When I first took over in 03, the debt ratio of the entire group was as high as 70%, and the other end still owed more than 500 million to the bank, and 71% of the subordinate units were loss-making units, and the total losses added up to 35 million."

"Although we have the rights to 800 feature films, Shanghai Art Studio has the rights to more than 500 art films, and 1,551 science and education films."

"But do you know how much cash I had at my disposal?"

Without waiting for Gao Fei to answer, Ren Zhongyan shook his head helplessly and said:

"17 million! For this, it is necessary to pay a one-time housing subsidy of 10.7 million yuan for retired cadres in Shangying. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in a sighing tone:

"So my first week in office, I was borrowing money everywhere and begging for money that others owe to Shangying."

Of course, Ren Zhonglun and Gao Fei's purpose in saying this was naturally not to cry poverty to him.

Playing is nothing more than those means of "wanting to promote and suppress first", like this trick, Gao Fei has already seen a lot in the Tokyo Imperial Court back then.

Therefore, although Gao Fei has no waves in his heart, he shows the acting skills of the Berlin actor on his face, and performs silently with Ren Zhongyan's words.

Then, as expected, Ren Zhonglun's voice changed, and he immediately smiled quite proudly:

"But now it's different, last year, China Film's main revenue was only more than 700 million, and the profit was only 15 million yuan."

"But do you know how much Shangying earns?"

"1.518 billion yuan!"

"Our net profit is 216 million yuan - in terms of profit, Shangying's profit is 20 times that of Zhongying."

This is a figure that Ren Zhongyan is very proud of.

Because judging from the market performance in recent years, Shangying looks far inferior to China Film in terms of the number of movies shot and the proportion of Chinese-style blockbusters.

Just hearing this, although Gao Fei showed a look of surprise on his face, he couldn't help but pout in his heart.

After all, if he hadn't known the news, he wouldn't have asked for leave and rushed over immediately after Shangying took the initiative to contact Han Li to enter the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" project.

He even knew that Shangying invested more than 30 million in "Red Cliff" and more than 10 million in "Assembly".

It's just that I don't know if Gao Fei's acting skills are too good, and the cooperation is too appropriate, so after talking for more than ten minutes, Ren Zhongyan is still talking, and even more and more interested.

I saw that he suddenly got up and took out a bottle of red wine from the closet next to him and poured it for Gao Fei, and then took the initiative to clink glasses with Gao Fei.

After drinking it all, he put down and looked at Gao Fei with a smile on his face:

"The reason why Shangying can far surpass China Film in terms of profitability is because I have a principle in doing business, that is, I don't want to be lively and prosperous, but to take profit as the king and pay attention to win-win cooperation!"

Speaking of this, I saw Ren Zhonglun's eyes staring at Gao Fei with a slight condensation, and he said:

"Generally, the company does not have a printing factory, but we have it."

"In terms of venue, we have Chedun Film and Television Base."

"In terms of cinemas, Shanghai Film has 126 theaters and 404 screens in 47 cities in 18 provinces across the country, and its ticket sales account for one-tenth of the national box office."

"In terms of publicity, we also have a movie channel and a promotional network of four film magazines."

In the end, I saw Ren Zhonglun holding a wine glass and said proudly:

"Now there are 300,000 sets of costumes and props in Shangying alone, and our guns for all kinds of shooting can be equipped with a division."

"So, Mr. Gao, as long as you cooperate with us, from the early stage of prop production, venue use, to the later stage of copying, production, distribution, etc., we can help you complete it!"

As soon as this remark came out, the implication of Ren Zhong's argument was obvious.

Obviously, he did not treat Goofy as an actor, but as a mature producer, and even the CEO of a film and television company.

Because compared with the boom in the back-end of the film, an embarrassing fact is that almost all Shanghai directors have gone to the capital to develop.

Of course, this reason alone does not make Ren Zhongyan look at Gao Fei differently.

The reason why he really gave Gao Fei such courtesy was because with the investment of 150 million in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it is already a top blockbuster project in China.

And apart from companies such as China Film and Huayi, no one has ever run a project of this level.

Naturally, it's not because those small and medium-sized film and television companies don't have high flying money. It's because they're not sure...... Of course, he was not as bold as Goofy.

But to be honest, even though he knew that this was Ren Zhongyan's routine, Gao Fei was still a little flattered.

……

An hour later, when Gao Fei came out of the box with a solemn expression, Han Li, who was guarding outside, couldn't help but sink in his heart.

However, because the occasion was wrong, I could only suppress the worries in my heart.

It's just that when the two got into the car, she couldn't help but ask worriedly:

"What's the matter, isn't it...... Talks collapsed? ”

Hearing this, Gao Fei did not answer immediately, but first rubbed his face vigorously.

After all, he had been acting for more than an hour just now, and the muscles controlled by his expression were about to twitch.

After a little massage, Gao Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"No, the project went very smoothly, and Mr. Ren was very generous this time!"

Seeing Gao Fei say this, Han Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she couldn't help but wonder:

"Then why did you have that look just now?"

Hearing this, Gao Fei didn't hide it from her, and even briefly said what Ren Zhong meant.

In the end, Gao Fei not only said with heartfelt emotion:

"It's so tiring to talk to these mixed officialdoms, you know that he has other plans, but you still can't help but be moved!"

Don't look at Gao Fei's contempt for the civil officials and Confucian ministers in Tokyo.

But he never underestimated them in his heart, no, he should be very jealous of them.

Because he knows that in terms of officialdom, ten of them can't play this gang of people.

After all, this is also the strongest cultural inheritance in China, and for more than 2,000 years, this skill has long been played by this group of people.

And after listening to Gao Fei's words, Han Li couldn't help frowning and worried after pondering for a while:

"So how do we choose...... Do you want to cooperate with Shangying? ”

As soon as these words came out, the car suddenly fell into a dead silence.

However, after being silent for a long time, I saw Gao Fei suddenly smile and smile:

"Since the conditions are so good, then of course we have to cooperate."

Could it be that the money of the film is money, and the money of the film is not money?

Besides, even without him, Shangying will at least cultivate its own commercial director.

After all, Shangying is different from the coal bosses in Shanxi, they are the elders in the circle.

Therefore, as long as they are willing to spend money on trial and error, they will make up for this shortcoming sooner or later.

No, to be precise, that's what Shangying is doing right now.

Seeing that Gao Fei said this, Han Li immediately nodded silently.

However, after talking about the matter, Goofy did not leave immediately.

Anyway, it's all here, no matter what he says, he still has to give the Organizing Committee of the Shanghai Film Festival a little face, at least the closing ceremony still has to participate.

It is said that the chairman of the jury of this Shanghai International Film Festival is still Gao Fei's "old acquaintance".

Wang Jiawei, who had just served as the chairman of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival, was invited to the Shanghai Film Festival again this time.

However, the two are familiar with each other, but they have no friendship at all.

Therefore, after walking the red carpet of the closing ceremony, Gao Fei just greeted him politely, and then sat in his place and was too lazy to move.

Just looking at the foreigners coming and going in the award hall, Gao Fei suddenly didn't know what to say.

I have to say that this Shanghai Film Festival is really worthy of its name of "International Film Festival".

Of the sixteen films shortlisted for the main competition unit, only two are Chinese-language films, and the remaining 14 are all foreign-language films.

This...... Well, it's good, it's international!

But for such a scene, Gao Fei understood after thinking about it.

Because if the Shanghai Film Festival and the Shanghai Film Group are regarded as the Shanghai circle, it is not difficult to understand the scene in front of you.

You must know that the current film and television center of China is in the capital after all.

So under the influence of the Beijing circle, the best movie has long been taken away by Golden Rooster and Baihua.

And there are no excellent movies to sign up for the competition, and the film festival has no choice but to scavenge for the rest of the films.

After all, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

But Gao Fei is just thinking about this kind of thing, because there are many aspects involved, such as the right to speak...... This is not something that he can worry about as a small actor.

It's just that just as Gao Fei was about to lie down, he didn't expect the award presenter on the stage to suddenly mention his name.

"The winners of this year's Golden Goblet Award for Outstanding Contribution to Chinese Films are Gao Fei and Zhang Ziyi!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of applause from the audience.

This made Goofy stunned for a moment, but after a moment of surprise, he immediately came back to his senses.

Because he is the same as Zhang Ziyi, the movies starred in by the two did not register for the competition at the Shanghai Film Festival this time.

It's not that they don't want to, it's that the producers won't let it.

Therefore, the two appeared at the award ceremony this time, and they can only be regarded as supportive.

But looking at the current situation, the means of going to the film festival are quite flexible - "It doesn't matter if you don't have a movie to participate, can't I just create an award now!" ”

Thinking of this, some of them couldn't cry or laugh, so Gao Fei had to tidy up his clothes and go to the stage to accept the award with brisk steps.
