The old buddies were hurt, Gu Bei, as a friend, naturally couldn't ignore it, asked the address clearly, drove over, and called Chen Xiaoxu on the way to explain the situation.

I have to say: It's messy!

Oh, yes!

It's really messy enough, but fortunately, it's very peaceful.

The car was parked downstairs in the hotel, and I went to the front desk to explain the situation, and the hotel waiter called Zhang Guoshi, and Gu Bei was allowed to go up.

knocked on the door and looked at Zhang Yimou standing in front of him.

This......

It doesn't look like you're trapped in love!

How to say it!

Although Zhang Yimou's face could see fatigue, his expression was very relaxed, as if he was relieved.

"What's the matter? Are you alright? ”

Gu Bei walked in, Zhang Yimou was ready, a few braised vegetables, peanuts, and a bottle of Moutai.

This small life is worthy of being an internationally renowned director.

"Sit down!"

Zhang Yimou said, filling the two wine glasses.

"Come with me for a drink, I'll live here today."

Gu Bei didn't refuse, it's past nine o'clock now, and when he goes home after drinking, it is estimated that it will be better to live here in the middle of the night.

"Okay! It's all up to you today! ”

Soon, a glass of wine was in his stomach, and without waiting for Gu Bei to ask, Zhang Yimou poured out all the things in his heart like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

It turned out that before Gong Li came to the capital to shoot "Farewell My Concubine", she had already given Zhang Yimou an ultimatum, either get married or break up, there is no third way to choose.

Although Zhang Yimou still wanted to struggle, Gong Liming was unwilling to entangle with him so unclearly.

Just the other day, the two reached a peaceful breakup on the phone.

"Reluctantly?"

Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and nodded again.

In this relationship, Zhang Yimou is also tired, the outside world is pointing fingers, the family does not accept it, and he himself is a little tired of marriage, so he really doesn't want to fall into it anymore, but Gong Li doesn't think so.

In comparison, Gong Li's idea is still more traditional, a woman lives with a man without a name or a point, and the attitude of the family can crush her.

What's more, in Zhang Yimou's previous marriage, Gong Li played a very disgraceful role.

So it's even more urgent to have a name to gag some people's mouths.

As a result, Zhang Yimou's hesitation made Gong Li more and more disappointed, more and more disappointed, and when this disappointment was accumulated to a certain extent, it would definitely explode.

If two people no longer have feelings, it is certainly impossible.

However, the reality of the situation forced the two to separate.

At the end of the day, it's a different idea.

"I tried my best, but she ...... I couldn't accept it, and I had no choice but to let go. ”

Scumbag!

It's really going to make excuses for yourself.

If you really like it, you love it so much, what if you get married?

What to say, because of the previous marriage, there is a fear of marriage, which is simply nonsense.

Why the previous marriage failed is not Zhang Yimou's own problem.

Like Zhang Di, Zhang Yimou's ex-wife is with him, and she also belongs to the next marriage, look at Zhang Yimou's old face, when he was in school, some people misunderstood him as the dean.

Regardless of the opposition of his family, he married Zhang Yimou, but what was the result?

As soon as she appeared, the wife of the chaff went down to the court.

The current Gong Li is not much better, she wants to be with Zhang Yimou wholeheartedly, but she never gets the promise she wants.

In the end, they were tired and desperate, and left on their own initiative.

"You! It is to be in the midst of blessings and not know blessings! ”

Zhang Yimou hung his head and smiled bitterly: "You're right, I'm just a." ”

"Okay, who will show you like this, and you'll be divided!"

"Yes! It's divided, and it's useless to regret it now. ”

Zhang Yimou said, picked up the wine glass, and poured down a big sip, and the old face turned red instantly.

"I came to the capital, in fact, ...... I want you to help with something. ”

Belch?

"Looking for my help? What's up? ”

Zhang Yimou raised his head and looked at Gu Bei: "You opened a company and did film and television investment?" ”

"Chen Kaige told you, right?"

Gu Beikai didn't need to hide it from anyone.

"I have a project now, and I'm still a little short of money, and I want to pull you to do it together."

Zhang Yimou directly expressed his intention.

Gu Bei smiled, thinking that Zhang Yimou asked him to come over at night in order to find someone to chat with and relieve the depression in his heart.

"Are you still short of investment?"

"What am I more than anyone else? What Xiangjiang values is the box office, not the director's fame, and the first few dramas are ...... Not too ideal! ”

After Zhang Yimou took Gong Li to the south, he also filmed a few films, all of which were co-produced by Xiangjiang and mainland film studios, but except for "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", the box office of several other dramas was weak.

Even "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors" is strictly speaking, it is not directed by Zhang Yimou, he is the leading actor.

There are no outstanding results at the box office, and those investors are naturally reluctant to throw money on Zhang Yimou anymore.

"Did you bring the script?"

Zhang Guoshi's ability, Gu Bei naturally will not question it, but Zhang Yimou at this stage is still on the road of pursuing film art, and he has not developed commercial skills at all.

After "Hero", Zhang Yimou can be regarded as a real soaring skyrocket.

Right now?

Movies like "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit", "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and "Ju Dou", if they are taken abroad to participate in film festivals, they will definitely be sought after, but if they are placed in China, they will fight for the box office, which is wishful thinking.

Is there a martial arts? Is there a shootout?

Now mainland audiences like to watch this kind of thing, occasionally one or two literary films get high box office, that is only a special situation, and it has to be blessed by stars.

At this stage, Zhang Yimou's works can achieve certain results at the box office, and only those who do not lose money are ......

Sure enough, it was "Alive".

Zhang Yimou took out the script from the cabinet and handed it to Gu Bei, seeing the title on the cover, Gu Bei was moved.

It's just that......

"Who are you going to use for the heroine of this play?"

In Zhang Yimou's current works, the heroines are all Gong Li, but the two have broken up, can Gong Li still play the daughter-in-law of Fugui's daughter-in-law?

"Gong Li! I've already told her that she's left to me for next year! ”

Cow break!

You can still be friends after breaking up, not only can you be friends, but you can continue to cooperate, and maybe you can rekindle your old feelings.

"Or are you amazing, the hero?"

"Ge You!"

Gu Bei frowned when he heard this, he had just confirmed with Feng Pants that "Party A and Party B" had already decided that Ge You would be the leading actor.

"When are you going to start this show?"

Zhang Yimou thought about it in his heart: "I will probably have to wait until the second half of next year, there is a lot of preparation." ”

Not bad!

It can be staggered with "Party A and Party B".

Moreover, the drama "Party A and Party B" will not take long to shoot the cycle.

"What's your budget? How much is missing? ”

"More than 10 million, that's still ...... If you are willing to pay for it, this drama is your exclusive investment. ”

Pull it down!

Although "Alive" was later released in the mainland, it seems to have gotten a box office of 30 million, but compared with the investment, it can definitely lose to grandma's family.

If you want to recover your costs, you can only rely on selling copyrights outside.

But the problem is that Gu Bei can't get the copyright of any film and television drama works at all.

It's good to wait for another two years, and when the time comes, Gu Bei can register a leather bag company in Xiangjiang and invest in the name of Hong Kong films.

"I don't have that big hands, you can say how much worse!"

Zhang Yimou thought for a while: "5 million, but I can get you 40% of the box office and copyright income." ”

Hehe!

In the end, he is an old classmate, and he can still think of him.

"Okay! I voted! ”

Zhang Yimou was stunned when he heard this: "Don't you read the script?" ”

"It's nothing to look at, I believe in you, as long as I can recover the cost in the end, I don't care about the rest!"

Ho!

It's so comforting to hear.

"It seems that your kid has made a lot of money all these years! 5 million can be taken out. ”

Gu Bei looked at Zhang Yimou: "Sensei pretend to be with me, Chen Kaige told you a long time ago, right?" ”

Later, people often said that the three major domestic directors looked down on each other, but the real situation was not the case, what was the personal relationship between Feng Pants and the other two, Gu Bei didn't know, but the relationship between Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou has always been good.

I think that when the two of them were in Guangxi Film Studio, Chen Kaige filmed "Yellow Earth", and Zhang Yimou was the photographer of the crew.

"When, can you give me the money?"

"What's the hurry, you won't start until the second half of next year, it's too early to say anything, can't you still trust me, I'm afraid that I will get you, and I won't give you money at that time."

Zhang Yimou smiled wryly: "No, no!" ”

If you say this, you may not think so in your heart.

"I'll leave this money when I go back, before you start the machine, the guarantee will arrive, in addition, the specific details and procedures, I'll give you a number, you just contact her, by the way, it's the last dinner, the Bao sister I brought!"

Zhang Yimou smiled: "Yo! She also left CCTV with you? Are you two ......?"

"You should be like you!"

Gu Bei angrily went back.

"We're in a working relationship, not as dirty as you think."

Good guys's!

Even the "dirty" came out, and Zhang Yimou was also full of embarrassment, this word was obviously prepared for him.

"Come on, come on, I won't say it, it's not okay, you're a righteous gentleman."

How fresh!

Gotta get it!

"This time...... Thank you very much, I bought the film and television adaptation rights for this story a long time ago, and I haven't been able to pull it financially. ”

"So you remembered me?"

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "You are a capable person, the old classmate is in trouble, so I don't look for you to find anyone." ”

"Don't put on a top hat for me, let me tell you, this money is not for nothing, you have to promise me one thing."

Gu Bei also made a temporary decision, if he just invested money in Zhang Yimou, it would be too cheap for this old boy.

"What's the matter, say!"

Some people died, but not completely......
