Magic City, a restaurant

Wei Yang met Bona's Yu Fatzi, who enthusiastically introduced the guests who participated in today's party.

"Mr. Sun, the vice president of our Bona, and the main person in charge of the movie, you have been through the previous process, so you should be very familiar with it."

The white and chubby Vice President Sun shook Wei Yang's hand with a smile: "Mr. Wei was invited by me to visit the thatched house, and I guess I am tired of seeing it." ”

"What Mr. Sun said, I'm afraid that Mr. Yu doesn't think I wronged you, this has to be explained clearly, Mr. Sun is a VIP treatment in me, and we Mr. Xia think I'm going to dig people."

Yu Fatzi quipped: "This is not good, Mr. Sun is my confidant." ”

Wei Yang replied, "Need to add money?" ”

The scene was suddenly extremely cheerful, "Embroidered Spring Knife" was just released in August, and the box office was not very high, but there was a lot of word-of-mouth and topicality, especially the money layman, which was a little hot on the Internet, at least Wei Yang would not be cold when he said it.

Vice President Sun is the No. 3 person in today's field after Wei and Yu, so he can make fun of it.

The three of them laughed a few words before continuing the introduction just now: "You must also know this, director Lin Chaoxian, a famous director in Xiangjiang." ”

"I have studied Director Lin's "Witness" and "Fierce War", and it is an honor to work together this time."

Lin Chaoxian has a bald head, he has not yet faintly carried the banner of Xiangjiang director in later generations, and he is currently barely sitting in the position of a first-line director.

In his early years, he was mixed with the director of "Painted Skin" Chen Jia, and he did not direct independently until 1997, and he is considered a junior among directors in Hong Kong.

However, his results are not bad, he is good at action police movies, the box office is not high, but he is very good at praising people.

In 2008, the box office of "Witness" in the mainland was only 17 million, and the box office in Hong Kong was about 8 million, but it allowed Zha Hui to win the two best actors of Golden Horse and Golden Statue in one fell swoop.

In 2010, "The Informant", the mainland box office was 50 million+, so that the so-called prince of the Hong Kong circle, Chef Xie, finally fulfilled his dream of being a golden statue.

Last year's "Fierce Wars", the mainland box office was 117 million, allowing Zha Zhahui to win the Academy Award Trophy again.

It can be said that Lin Chaoxian is not ranked in commercial films, but his status among male actors is not low, including Bona Yu Fat and others, who think that Wei Yang can be invited this time, and there are also part of the reasons why Lin Chaoxian.

In the Chinese entertainment industry with a director-centered system, even if Lin Chaoxian is not a director, first-line actors must be close to and even please him.

But Wei Yang is obviously an exception, that is the big boss in the industry, and the big bosses in the Xiangjiang film industry can sit on an equal footing, and even because of the back to the Shanghai circle and the many cards in his hand, he is stronger than some Hong Kong capital in some aspects.

Wei Yang called Director Lin, and he was very respectful in and out of his words, this was to give Lin Chaoxian face, the latter did not dare to hit the snake with a stick, and his posture was very modest.

"Where, Boss Yu said that we can invite Wei Sheng, we are also very happy, this role is so suitable for you, it is simply the best choice, and Wei Sheng is also a screenwriter and a genius director, and it is also very helpful to our crew."

"Director Lin has won the award, you are a famous director, I still have to learn from you."

“……”

The two are in business and blowing each other, but only they know how much truth is true or false in the actual words.

At least Wei Yang heard that at the beginning, Lin Chaoxian was interested in finding his favorite general, and he also cooperated with Peng Yuyan, who had worked in "Guild Wars", but after Bona came into contact with the blue whale, this matter was not something he could control.

Not only the casting, but even part of the power of the crew must be ceded.

Wei Yang's identity is not only an actor, but also a nominal screenwriter of the crew, and he has a certain right to suggest and modify the script.

In addition, he is also the producer and producer of the film crew, theoretically speaking, if it weren't for Lin Chaoxian having Bona behind him, he wouldn't be able to speak to Wei Yang in the crew.

This also made Lin Chaoxian love and hate Wei Yang's joining.

What I love is Wei Yang's popularity and exposure, his acting skills are passable, and he is not flattering just now in terms of screenwriting ability, he is indeed at a very high level in the industry, which is helpful to the movie.

At the same time, the investment in this movie is relatively large, and there are many aspects involved, with Boss Wei mediating in the middle, and there are many benefits.

Hate naturally means that Wei Yang has a high status and a lot of control, and no director likes to have one more emperor above.

Imagine that the two sides have the same idea, and if there is a disagreement, his life as a director will be in wax.

Boss Wei mostly shoots his own films, and the reputation of the drama bully is not as exaggerated as Jiang Wen, but he has never been a good gentleman.

Some of the capable ones are easy to say, but those who don't have the ability simply become tool people and become the puppets of Boss Wei.

Therefore, at this time, Lin Chaoxian's perception of Wei Yang is very complicated, but on the surface, he is still extremely welcoming and cooperative.

If you don't cooperate, you can't do it!

To put it mildly, at this point, Wei Yang's position in the crew is much more stable than him, and once it gets stiff, it will definitely be Lin Chaoxian, the director, who will get out.

"Zhang Hanyu, I don't need to introduce this."

Zhang Hanyu, who had dark skin and a beard, shook Wei Yang's hand, with a smile on his face, and his voice was still the familiar subwoofer.

"Haha, Mr. Wei and I are much more familiar than you."

Wei Yang smiled and nodded, he and Zhang Hanyu had never cooperated, but they had seen many ceremonial activities large and small, and they had also encountered gatherings in the circle.

He is an entertainment upstart, Zhang Hanyu is naturally willing to get acquainted, and Wei Yang also admires him, and after coming and going, he is also familiar with him.

Wei Yang and Yu Fatzi didn't have any friendship before, Vice President Sun has also become familiar recently, Lin Chaoxian has called a few times before, and it is the first time to meet, so Zhang Hanyu is indeed the person he is most familiar with.

"Okay, you will definitely help me accompany Mr. Wei in a while, if he is not happy, I will ask you."

Yu Fatzi pretended to give an order, he really has this qualification, because Zhang Gaoyu is his artist.

In many people's impressions, Bona is more about distribution and film and television production, but in fact, it has always had an artist agency business, and the artist lineup is very capable of playing.

As mentioned before, Bona imitated Huayi and engaged in a star shareholder mechanism to win over a group of big names.

Among them, the most effective ones are Huang Xiaoming and International Zhang, followed by Zhang Hanyu and Chen Baoguo.

Huang, Zhang, and Chen are relatively cooperative, and they have a certain degree of independence, while Zhang Hanyu and Bona are very deeply bound, and most of the later masterpieces basically have Bona's participation, and they belong to the number one general in the lineage.

In addition, Yuan Quan, Xin Baiqing, nursery rhymes, and Huang Yi are also artists of Bona or have affiliated partnerships, so they often appear together.

It seems that the Bona department seems to be very keen on powerful actors, but in fact, they still have a lot of newcomers and young actors, but they haven't come out.

Bona has no shortage of film resources, but if you want to talk about popularity, the success rate of movies is too low, which is also the reason why Bona artists have no sense of existence.

The popularity of the powerful faction in the early stage has low exposure, and the artists who are suitable for traffic marketing can't be praised, and many people simply don't know that Bona still has this business.

This is very envious of Wei Yang, in terms of the scale of the company, the blue whale does not dare to call the first in the industry, but there is absolutely no other company that dares to compete with it.

It is one of the best in the industry in terms of TV and artist management, and variety shows are also extremely prominent, and now there is its own video platform, which is also inferior to movies, but it is still developing and enterprising.

In the past, in the entertainment industry, in fact, artist agency was actually the same thing, most of them were to save money for filming.

Later, Huayi played a star shareholder listing, and the industry began to pay attention to the value brought by star influence.

When Wei Yang and even the new generation of traffic artists rise, relying on the Internet to achieve the top stream and kill all sides, the star economy can really become a pillar industry of entertainment.

But obviously, by the time everyone found out, it was actually a little late.

Wei Yang united with Tang and Fan Xiaopang, incorporated Tang Yan and Da Mi Mi, and brought out Zhao Liying, Xinjiang Ermei, Zhang Ruoyun and others, at this stage, his family occupies almost half of the top circle in the circle, and others are more or less related to him.

The most infuriating thing is that Wei Yang not only has many top-notch people, but other companies can't dig it up.

He doesn't need to say much about himself, almost all of those women are surrounded by him with beautiful men, and there are only two male artists left.

Hu Ge is not only an old friend of Wei Yang, but also a brother of the Tang Dynasty, and it seems that he is going to become a shareholder recently.

The same is true for Zhang Ruoyun, now the Blue Whale family is praising him, except for Wei Yang, who has countless resources, and is considered a descendant, he is a traitor when he is full.

You don't see what happened to Lin Gengxin who ran away last time, it's almost a joke.

is a popular student, a front-line reserve, a top-notch seedling, and now he is reduced to Wang Dashao as a helper.

It's not that Wang Dashao is not qualified, most of the artists in the entertainment industry have to give face when they see it, but it's another thing to praise and lick it.

was called and drunk, scolded and accompanied by a smiling face, Lin Gengxin said that he was a friend of Wang Dashao and even seemed to be a relative, but from the attitude he showed when he got along, he couldn't see how equal he was.

Many people either laughed or regretted that Lin Gengxin wanted to stay in Blue Whale at the beginning, maybe he is more popular than Zhang Ruoyun now.

If you want to have a career, you must be popular, and there is a backer behind you, at least you won't be a follower to Wang Dashao.

In fact, sometimes Wei Yang didn't expect that Lin Gengxin, who made him sad back then and even regarded it as a big "failure" since starting his business, has now become a typical negative case.

continuously simulates the misery of his artists after changing jobs, which greatly enhances the loyalty and cohesion of the artists.

How to say it, there are some words of the ancestors that you can't help but listen to, and if you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing.

Who would have thought that Lin Gengxin was a "traitor" and inexplicably became a "political commissar" for Boss Wei.........

…

After introducing a circle, a few people sat down, but they didn't order food to eat, Wei Yang came not too late, and the real finale was behind.

Within a few minutes, Yu Fatzi's secretary came over and whispered a few words in his ear, Yu Fatzi nodded at Wei Yang, and the two got up and took the lead in going out to greet him.

Soon, I waited for someone at the door, a group of six or seven people, followed by the driver's secretary, and the real key was two.

Director Zhang of the Golden Shield Film and Television Center of the Public Security Department!

Chairman of Shanghai Film Company is Dong Ren!

This is also the real behind-the-scenes organizer of their film "Operation Mekong".

"Operation Mekong" is based on the Mekong River case that became famous overseas a few years ago, when after this incident, several film and television companies wanted to get the adaptation rights.

However, the public security department attached great importance to this project and did not let go easily, and finally Yu Fatzi worked hard to win it.

At that time, the blue whale was actually one of them, and it was wanted by TV and movies, but the former was cut off by CCTV, and the latter made Yu Fatzi, who was more powerful in movies, win.

However, some of the filming plans of the blue whale still left a deep impression on the public security department.

So much so that when Yu Fat Man was preparing for filming, the relevant person in charge took the initiative to ask if he could bring the Blue Whale to work together, and Yu Fat Man was greedy for Wei Yang's popularity and box office appeal, so he hit it off.

However, Wei Yang is not easy to invite, people have their own mess of business, they have to give up enough benefits, and there is a big guy to pull the strings.

As a result, Ren Dong, who is deeply involved with the blue whale, also participated.

At that time, Wei Yang was busy with another movie, but Ren Dong came over to chat, and moved out of the banner of the public security department and the main theme, Wei Yang couldn't help but think about it.

First of all, the project "Operation Mekong" must have a head, and the quality and box office are both good in the main theme blockbuster.

In addition, Wei Yang has always intended to develop towards the main theme and build a golden body for himself, this movie is directly under the jurisdiction of the public security department, and the level is high enough, which is a good opportunity.

So Wei Yang sent people to contact and negotiate with Bona, and fought for enough and enough benefits, and finally reached cooperation.

Unlike the original movie, "Operation Mekong" increased the role of Fang Xinwu, played by Wei Yang.

This is not surprising, with his coffee position, Zhang Hanyu can't be a good person, at that time, Yu Fatzi once wanted Wei Yang to play the policeman, and then arranged for Zhang Hanyu or another person to play the undercover.

However, he was still stopped by Wei Yang, he felt that his image was a little different from that of the refined and calm criminal police captain.

Zhang Hanyu is a very suitable candidate, and he is more suitable for the undercover image of wandering in the gray area and disguising his identity in a chic and prodigal manner, so he does not approve of the role change, but relatively adjusts the role.

In the early stage, Wei Yang, an undercover agent, investigated the culprit of the crime, and then responded to Zhang Hanyu and others to investigate and carry out actions in the local area.

"Operation Mekong" was originally a group drama, and there were many undercover scenes, the story structure remained the same, and with a slight change to the plot, Wei Yang became the real male protagonist.

Wei An and Ren Dong are very familiar, but that Director Zhang is the first time to deal with him, this level is not low, and he has a lot of power in his hands.

Let's just put it this way, if Wei Yang opens up this road, in the future, Blue Whale wants to make some police and bandit crime films, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

This is also one of the reasons why Wei Yang is willing to participate in "Operation Mekong", this is a big theme, and he has always wanted to hug his thighs.

Although Director Zhang met Wei Yang for the first time, he had a very good attitude towards him, and later Wei Yang tried it out and found out that it was because of his "Criminal Police Storm" back then.

Don't look at this drama, which is not eye-catching in Wei Yang's works, but it is a representative work of the police theme in recent years, which is also the reason why the public security department trusts Wei Yang.

They feel that Wei Yang understands the police and has the ability to shoot good police stories.

This is another surprise, Wei Yang didn't expect that a script he wrote in order to make money back then would bring him such a big benefit a few years later.

How good Boss Wei is, he immediately hit the snake and put the stick, he has a lot of police-themed scripts in his hand, if he can get the support of the public security department, he can open a special [theme special] on PPTV.

Director Zhang is also very face-saving, although he didn't give the right words, but he is also willing to deepen cooperation.

In fact, these units normally have propaganda tasks, and film and television dramas are also one of the important channels, otherwise they would not have set up a special organization.

Blue Whale is a well-known film and television company in the industry, and the golden sign is very loud, if it can shoot some high-quality films and television to carry out positive publicity to the public security group, it will be a win-win situation for both parties.

It's a pity that Wei Yang asked for a while and found out that Director Zhang's Golden Shield Center is subordinate to the public security department, and there is also a Golden Shield Center that belongs to the General Queen.

The name is the same, but it's not a family, so it doesn't matter, otherwise he would have thought about putting "In the Name of the People" on the agenda.........

I'm sorry, I forgot to send the timing last night, and I just woke up and saw it
