465 Partnership with Huayi and [Reverse Week Incident]
In December, the crew of "Operation Mekong".
On the water, Wei Yang put down his gun, ignored the snowflakes splashed on his arms, held the steering wheel, and drove the motorboat to crash into the villain's motorboat with a resolute gaze.
However, it is different from the scene in the movie where two boats collide violently and even explode.
In fact, when Wei Yang was shooting at this time, there were no enemy ships in front of him.
Just stepped on the accelerator hard to accelerate, as if desperately sacrificing his life to collide, and the shots were all medium and close-up.
Then, Wei Yang turned the boat around, pulled away from it, and took a medium and long-range shot in the form of aerial photography, in which he drove the boat quickly towards the enemy ship.
It seems to be very fierce, but in fact, it has already stopped when it is still 100 meters apart.
In order to ensure safety, Wei Yang was driving on the surface, but in fact, there was an old crew member squatting in the shooting corner, giving instructions and even being responsible for part of the operation.
After these scenes were filmed, Fang Xinwu in the movie went offline, and Wei Yang also successfully finished in the play.
As for the collision and explosion of the two ships, whether the character of Fang Xinwu is dead or not, Wei Yang honestly doesn't know.
The filmmaker still has great ambitions, and even wants to try to make a series of movies, so the easter egg at the end implies that Fang Xinwu is not dead, but is still on a mission abroad, and maybe he will continue to cooperate to solve the case next time.
According to the fat man's idea. When the time comes, it is okay to let Gao Gang played by Zhang Hanyu continue to cooperate, and it is okay to change to another police partner, but it is really not possible to let Fang Xinwu solve the case independently.
The current version of Fang Xinwu is much better than the original version, and it can be said that he is an ace intelligence officer + soldier king + detective.
In the film, he is proficient in foreign languages, can speak, is sociable, has an informant and intelligence network everywhere, and is also proficient in driving, fighting, shooting and other skills.
He acted quickly and decisively, and was also very insightful in solving the case and laying out the plan.
And he is a "non-pedantic" policeman rarely seen in mainland film and television dramas, and in order to solve the case, he will even use some gray methods.
Later, Fang Xinwu was forcibly "offline", which more or less meant to pass the trial, for fear of being stuck because of some unnecessary circumstances.
It can be said that this character is very charming, it can be said to be flesh and blood, and with this as the core, it is impossible to create an IP of [Undercover Detective].
Of course, this is just Yu Fat's idea.
At least so far, Wei Yang, who has a bunch of scripts in his hand, is not enthusiastic about developing such a project with Bona, and it can even be said that he has little interest.
Yu Fatzi is not in a hurry, anyway, "Operation Mekong" has just finished filming now, and after it is released, it is not too late to talk about the results.
Wei Yang is finished, and there are not many remaining scenes for the crew, basically at most a week, the entire crew can go home.
However, Yu Fatzi was still very particular about putting a special banquet for Boss Wei.
The main thing is to contact feelings, he really wants to cooperate with Boss Wei more, and everyone will get rich together.
Bangkok's top Thai restaurant, standard high-serve Thai food, Tom Yum Soup, Spicy Beef Salad, Thai Coconut Chicken, Thai Lobster, Curry Sea Crab and so on.
Wei Yang has filmed two dramas in Thailand, and the time he has stayed together has been less than half a year, and he is no stranger to Thai food.
Thai food tastes sour, sweet and spicy, and the ingredients are mainly seafood, fruits, and vegetables.
Wei Yang is quite receptive, and in addition to challenging his understanding of dark cuisine, he is still very willing to try new things and special cuisines.
Yu Fatzi practiced for Boss Wei, and several main creators of the crew also arrived, including director Lin Chaoxian.
On the one hand, Lin Chaoxian didn't want to conflict with Boss Wei, and on the other hand, Wei Yang intended to give him face and pave the way.
Not to mention anything else, the director is definitely a good player in the industry when shooting action, especially gunfights and explosions.
And among the directors under the Blue Whale and the good friends, there are almost no directors of this level.
In the future, no one can say that the blue whale does not have this demand, maybe one day they will have to work together, and Wei Yang is afraid of scaring Lin Chaoxian.
So whether at work or in private, Wei Yang has always respected Lin Chaoxian, and the relationship between the two is not bad, and Lin Chaoxian has taken the initiative to come over to toast many times at the finale banquet.
Maybe in his heart, it's not that he doesn't have the idea that he will hug Boss Wei's thigh one day in the future.
Lin Chaoxian thinks so, not to mention the other actors, except for Zhang Hanyu and a few old actors, their attitude is quite reserved, and those young actors are enthusiastic and obedient.
However, Wei Yang was also used to this kind of occasion, and after dealing with it easily, Yu Fatzi asked him to go to a small room inside the box to "sober up".
"Come, try Thai cigars, not as mellow as South American, but also have a different flavor."
The decoration of the small room is a mixture of Chinese and Thai style, resplendent and at the same time with a bit of atmosphere and stability, especially the solid wood tea case bed in the center, almost replicating the Chinese style.
poured tea and lit cigars, the two were alone, and Yu Fat didn't play falsely.
"Mr. Wei, when are you going to release your "Detective Chinatown"?"
Wei Yang had been wondering what was going on with the fat man looking for him in private just now, and he immediately understood when he heard the words.
"It's basically set, Spring Festival stalls."
"yes, I still bumped into it."
Yu Fatzi spat out his cigarette with a wry smile, but still heard the words he didn't want to hear.
The success of the Spring Festival stalls in the first two years has proved the advantages of this emerging schedule, and this year's Spring Festival is bound to be another battle of dragons and tigers.
Blue Whale's "Detective Chinatown" has been standing still, and many people in the outside world speculate that it is aimed at the Spring Festival stalls, but Wei Yang has not given the right words.
Yu Fatzi was a little unsure of the situation, and he didn't know whether Wei Yang was plotting for the Spring Festival or wanting to hit the New Year stalls, so he looked for an opportunity to find out the bottom of it today.
As a result, one touch does not squeak!
The first two movies have already made people see Wei Yang's appeal in movies, and "Detective Chinatown" has strong assistance such as Wang Baoqiang and Gao Yuanyuan, which is definitely a strong enemy.
The outside world expects the box office of this movie to be 500 million+, and those who are more optimistic even think that it is expected to hit the 1 billion mark.
Bona has two projects released during the Spring Festival, and now there is another man-eating shark, where can Yu Fat laugh.
"What do you think, you are a senior, if you have any good experience, mention something."
Wei Yang didn't believe that Yu Fatzi just came to inquire about the schedule, this is not a secret at all, but anyone with a little vision understands that it is impossible for Wei Yang to give up the hot Spring Festival stall and choose the declining New Year stall.
Yu Fatzi is having a treat and a private chat today, just tangled in this issue, it is too much fuss.
When the fat man heard this, he was happy, put away his bitter face, took a sip of tea, and sold Guanzi.
"Does Mr. Wei know how many movies will be launched during the Spring Festival?"
"I know five or six, and some can be roughly deduced."
The Spring Festival file is February 19 next year, and now it is late December, and several movies have been announced, and the rest can also learn a lot of information through channels.
After all, there are a number of popular projects, and as long as there is action, they generally can't hide it from insiders.
The action movies in this time period are nothing more than the New Year and Spring Festival files, the former is close and the movement is greater, and the latter is mainly foreshadowing.
While speaking, Wei Yang counted with his fingers: "Guangguang's "Zhong Kui Fu Demon: Snow Demon", Huayi and Big Brother's "Heavenly General", China Film's "Wolf Totem", Tianyu's "Where Are You Going Dad 2", Your Brother's Company's "Macau Fengyun 2" and "Dad's Holiday". ”
"It's as strong as a cloud."
Yu Fatzi was very emotional, several of the above movies are big productions, and there is also the popular IP of "Where Are You Going, Dad", this year's Spring Festival file volume is surprising, so that he is a little weak.
"Mr. Wei, I am an understanding person, I don't say anything, the situation is mixed, and huddling together for warmth is the king."
Yu Fatzi exposed his true purpose, the Spring Festival stalls were like a cloud, and Bona was unable to support himself, so he wanted to find an ally.
Whether it's communicating with each other or sharing the pressure, it's better than standing up as a family.
"Cooperation is mutually beneficial, I recognize this, but I'm curious why Mr. Yu remembered to find me."
Wei Yang was a little curious about the fat man's moves, and in terms of relationship, Bona was very close to the Hong Kong and Beijing circles.
Carefully divided, the situation of these Spring Festival stalls should be Huayi, China Film, and Bona are closer, and Blue Whale has the best relationship with the light who has cooperated many times before.
"You're wrong, Zhongying is just right, me and Huayi...... Hehe. ”
That's all it says, but the meaning is very clear, in the early years, due to various reasons, one main production, one main release, everyone will inevitably eat together.
When the plate is bigger, each has its own main business, although there is also some cooperation and parallelism, but in fact, it has long been a separation.
Not to mention, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, and International Zhang were all Huayi people earlier, and now they are deeply related to Bona, which actually has a lot of articles.
In this case, Yu Fatzi would rather deepen his contact with Wei Yang, who has cooperated in the follow-up, rather than pay attention to Huayi.
As for the film......
Yu Fatzi said very bluntly: "I am not optimistic about the movie "Wolf Totem", this is not a theme that can be made by inviting an international famous director, and you and I are both comedies, so there is more room for cooperation." ”
"But there's also more direct competition."
Wei Yang pointed out one thing that Yu Fat Man has always ignored, that is, "Detective Chinatown" and "Macau Fengyun 2" are comedies, strictly speaking, there are themes of conflict.
I have said several times before that the audience's viewing budget is limited, and many people may only watch one or two movies.
So at this time, many viewers will choose a comedy movie + other themes, and this behavior directly affects the results of the two comedy movies.
Choosing one of the two is often not an equal score, but a big victory for one side and a fiasco.
"It depends on what the operation is, if the cooperation is good, suppress several other movies, and make the comedy plate of the Spring Festival file bigger, it will be enough."
It's not that Yu Fatzi doesn't understand this truth, but he has another idea.
Two comedy movies fight to the death, of course, one wins and the other loses, but if they join forces and exchange both votes from the audience for comedy movies to grab market share, it may not be a win-win situation.
Bona is a veteran in distribution, and the promotion of Blue Whale is also the number one in the industry.
"How, try?"
Yu Fatzi encouraged Wei Yang, and the latter thought about it for a while, this matter was not harmful to him.
Winning over a strong ally has become a market share that can be eaten, but even if he directly fights with "Macau Fengyun 2" because of this, he is also confident in "Detective Chinatown", so he nodded briskly.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
"Haha, Wei is always a cheerful person."
Yu Fatzi smiled happily, and then wanted to deepen other cooperation with Blue Whale, such as mutual investment projects, and cooperation in actors.
The former is good to say that Wei Yang has always been hesitant to invest in projects that he is optimistic about, and he has always been willing to give some shares to his friends to cooperate.
However, the latter is more involved.
Yu Fatzi has movie resources on his side, but Wei Yang has more TV series and variety show resources, and more importantly, he has high popularity and top performers, while Bona's well-known artists are limited, how to cooperate is fair and mutually beneficial, and some details need to be discussed.
But on the whole, this conversation was quite pleasant, and no one can say to what extent the follow-up cooperation can reach.
But in the short term, the two sides have ensured mutual friendship and even quietly reached a tacit understanding.
Find an opportunity to add to Huayi's blockage!
There's no way, who let Huayi be the private leader in the mainland film and television industry, it is blocking it, and the companies below can't get ahead, and they all want to kill it.
Interestingly, Wei Yang and Blue Whale think they are the most promising companies to take over from Huayi, while Bona and Yu Fatzi think the same way.
It is estimated that there are more than these two companies with similar ideas, such as Guangguang, Wanda, and Jingcheng Culture, which have enough strength, and they may all feel that they are the second largest in the industry after Huayi.
So sometimes the boss is not so easy to do, the first to rot first, and there are not many people in the circle staring at the brothers of the Wang family.
As long as there is an opportunity, everyone is willing to step on a few feet together, first kill the boss, and then everyone will compete for the boss according to their abilities.
Wei Yang strongly suspects that Huayi had an accident in his previous life, and these companies were "helping others" behind the scenes.
Similarly, if there is a problem with who these families, Huayi's brothers are happier than anyone else.
There are so many good people in this circle!
A day later, Wei Yang took a plane from Bangkok, Thailand to return to China, but did not rush back to the magic capital, but came to Shenzhen first.
Before he made an appointment with Xing Ye, he wanted to visit the class and make a cameo appearance in his new movie "Mermaid", which is also a film project invested heavily by Blue Whale, and Wei Yang attaches great importance to it.
As soon as the plane landed, Wei Yang rushed into the group, and before he could see the main owner, he was surrounded by the media guarding the crew of "Mermaid".
There are still a lot of people, some from the mainland and some from Xiangjiang, and the questions raised are also very sharp.
"What do you think of the negative public opinion turmoil that Director Zhou Xingchi has experienced now?"
Wei Yang was a little confused, and only reacted after the explanations of several mainland reporters, he was filming in Thailand these days, and he didn't pay much attention to the domestic side.
It turned out that the official and famous "Reverse Week Incident" at the moment, Xiang Tai bombarded the star, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars stood in line on a large scale, and online fans and passers-by made all kinds of noises.
After figuring out the situation, Wei Yang made a choice very easily,
He and Xing Ye are actually not very familiar, more of some movie filters, and that Xiang Tai has never dealt with each other, and Wei Yang also has no good impression of a family with an underworld background.
A stranger who doesn't have a good relationship with him and doesn't have a half-dime relationship with him, compared to a partner who has a filter and has high hopes waiting to make money for him.
Wei Yang's tone was very resolute: "I don't particularly know what grievances they have, but as far as my few exchanges with Xing Ye are concerned, I think he is a very sincere person and has a very serious attitude towards movies." ”
"And I don't understand why those people reacted so violently, and I don't understand what Xing Ye did wrong in this matter."
"I didn't know much about it when I was abroad before, but as far as the incident introduced by these two reporter friends just now, if I didn't understand it wrong, it has nothing to do with Xing Ye at all, he is completely unjustified."
"Zhang San used Li Si's matter to scold Wang Wu, Wang Wu should find Zhang San, instead of shouting Wu Liusun Qi to bully the innocent Li Si together."
"The gentlemen are apart, and there is no evil sound, which can actually vaguely see the pattern of the two sides........."
