"Xinhua Press: "Parasite" is the most successful co-production since the turn of the millennium, and it is worth learning and studying for all co-productions."

……

The most important news in June in the Chinese entertainment industry is naturally the release of "Parasite", although the box office in the mainland is only at the upper middle level, but it has exploded in the peninsula, Hong Kong Island, and bends, and the box office in Europe is also very hot.

And in July, the hottest news in the mainland was the release of "Painted Skin 2", and the box office went straight to 700 million.

This achievement has made many people very afraid, especially people in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles.

In the past, many movies in the mainland performed well at the box office, but the directors of these movies were either Lao Mouzi, Xiao Gangcang, or Li Shengyao, all of whom had a big director bonus.

And the two movies "Painted Skin 12" are completely based on mainland actors, and they have achieved great results in a row.

This made people in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circles very panicked, and a large number of negative news broke out by Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun during this period of time, the most important thing is the legend of the discord between the two people, it is said that the two people are rough in the dressing room, and they want to raise a chair to beat someone.

However, it is a pity that it didn't take long for the hype in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles to cover up the news of Lao Mouzi and Zhang Weiping's breakup.

Zhang Weiping, a dog and a man, was finally officially offline this year, lost his old master, and almost faded out of the entertainment industry after that.

At the same time, "Huaxia Partner" was officially launched under the joint promotion of China Film and Fenghua, and the film exploded with word-of-mouth when it premiered, looking at the box office trend, at least 500 million at the box office.

Han Sanping saw the daily box office statistics, his mouth was about to smile crookedly, and he made several calls to Li Shengyao in a row to hold a celebration banquet.

However, Li Shengyao is now going to hold a celebration banquet for "Parasite", and he asked Han Sanping to come back a little later and wait for 500 million.

At 8 p.m. on July 16, 2012, on the 17th floor of the China World Summit Wing, the producer of "Parasite" held a celebration banquet here.

In the banquet hall, Li Shengyao, Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Ni Dahong and other creators of "Parasite" all came over.

Han Sanping, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Lao Mouzi, Feng Xiaogang, Xu Wei, as well as Wang Zhonglei, Jiang Wen and other entertainment industry bigwigs also came.

In addition, there are more than 500 star artists in Beijing, which can be said to be more lively than the Shanghai Film Festival award ceremony in June.

The center of the crowd was naturally Lee Shengyao.

He wore a more formal outfit, a custom-made white shirt with a black suit, which perfectly highlighted his tall and strong figure.

Standing among a group of bigwigs, he is particularly handsome in comparison.

Next to the bigwigs, there are Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, as well as Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and other actors.

These actors are all people who are close to Lee Shengyao, and some of them, who have an average relationship, stand in a relatively distant position.

Because Li Shengyao has been talking to the bigwigs, many young actors who want to say hello to Li Shengyao, the little stars don't even have a chance to go over, and they don't even have the qualifications to interject a word.

At the outermost part of the banquet hall, in addition to some young women who wanted to fish for Kaizi, there were some people in other circles.

For example, singers, models, Internet celebrities, hosts.

Among them, two boys stood in the corner, bowing their heads to discuss, these two boys were Zhang Jie and his agent Liu Junjie.

Zhang Jie is a fast male player in 07, this fast male has a lot of strength, Zhang Jie did not win the championship, but relying on the identity of the son-in-law of Mango Terrace, he can go to the happy base camp almost every month, and this fame gradually stands out.

Now he should be the most famous player in that group of fast men.

Zhang Jie's strength is not doubtful, and he threw off Hua Tianshi dozens of streets.

However, there are some things that slightly hinder Zhang Jie's ascension, and the most important point is that his temperament is too earthy.

There are various reasons why fans love idols, but one of the big ones is the sense of superiority.

The fan circle also has a chain of contempt, especially in Tiger Pounce, this is especially obvious, many fans who like James despise other fans because James has good grades.

Zhang Jie's temperament is too earthy, and he is nicknamed Runtu, such an image has greatly affected him to attract fans.

Regarding this, Zhang Jie is actually still too tender.

Hua Tianshi was the same soil back then, and there was also a giant baby character, but as a result, people went to the peninsula for plastic surgery, shaved their cheekbones, opened the corners of their eyes, padd their noses, and marketed beautiful men when they returned to China.

If Zhang Jie is ruthless to himself and shaves his cheekbones, his temperament will immediately become much more fashionable.

The reason why he looks earthy is because he has a big head and a short neck, and he makes his head a little smaller.

Zhang Jie didn't expect this, he chose the most difficult road, this road is not the path taken by Adu, but try to pinch himself and lean on the fashion circle.

In the past two years, Zhang Jie has tried his best to wear famous brands, go to major fashion shows, participate in Grammy halftime performances, and attend the MAMA awards ceremony.

He wants the people to see that he takes the international route and that he is not dirty.

However, the effect is not good, and it is still ridiculed by netizens.

This time, Zhang Jie and Liu Junjie came to the celebration banquet of "Parasite" together, just to contact Li Shengyao, hoping that Li Shengyao's future movie-related songs can be handed over to him.

As we all know, Director Li Dadao is the No. 1 commercial film director in Asia, and he has won the Palme d'Or in the past two years, which is full of compulsion.

Zhang Jie and Liu Junjie both felt that if they could sing the theme song of Li Shengyao's new movie, they would definitely be able to get rid of the "rustic".

At this time, the two of them were holding wine glasses, but their faces were not very good.

Li Shengyao and the others were a circle of bigwigs, and they had no intention of spreading out at all, and they kept sitting together and chatting.

It makes it difficult for everyone else to interject

Zhang Jie had already noticed that not only him, but also many people wanted to chat with Li Shengyao, but they didn't dare to go over, so they could only stand in the distance and stare closely.

Liu Junjie is the second leader of the Tianyu brokerage department, and he actually has several artists under him, and the most prominent one is naturally Zhang Jie.

Liu Junjie's mind was more jumpy, he looked at Li Dadao not far away, and said in a low voice: "He has drunk so much wine, he must go to the bathroom, we will wait for him, and he will go to the bathroom later, you go to him and say, I will help you block the others." ”

When Zhang Jie heard this, his face pulled unnaturally, "No, I heard that Director Li doesn't drink, he either drinks orange juice, tea, or water." ”

"Why not, even if it's drinking water, he's going to pee anyway, don't worry, it's definitely okay."

“……”

Liu Junjie didn't hear the reply, looked over, and saw that Zhang Jie still had a worried look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't have any advantages, just introduce myself, will Director Li really remember me?"

Zhang Jie has some gains and losses, and his personality is actually a little contradictory.

He is quite narcissistic at the same level, and posted a selfie on Weibo, saying that it was another day to become handsome.

But he is not very confident at times, and he can be seen to be very reserved.

In this regard, Hua Tianshi is much more confident, Hua Tianshi is very confident on and off the stage, even when he invites the gods to come up, he is super confident.

Liu Junjie smiled, "Where is there such a good thing in the world, we just came to recommend ourselves to Director Li and give him an impression, not that we can really sing the theme song of his new movie."

With his current status, it is estimated that Faye Wong and Liu Huan are rushing to sing the theme song of his movie.

We just leave an impression in case he really thinks of you, doesn't we? Anyway, we came up and had a few glasses of wine. ”

Liu Junjie has a good name and looks quite obscene, but in terms of how he behaves in the world, he is far superior to the simple Zhang Jie.

When Zhang Jie heard this, he calmed down a lot.

About an hour later, Yu Dong, Feng Xiaogang, Lao Mouzi and others all went to the bathroom one after another, and just when Zhang Jie was about to wear it, Li Shengyao finally put down his wine glass and went to the bathroom.

Zhang Jie and Liu Junjie glanced at each other, and then chased after each other together.

Zhang Jie quickly caught up with Li Shengyao and followed him into the bathroom, while Liu Junjie stayed outside to watch the door.

"Director Li, my name is Zhang Jie, and I am a singer."

Li Shengyao smiled when he heard this, and nodded at Zhang Jie, "I know you, you were born as a fast man in 07, and you sing very well." ”

When Zhang Jie heard this, he felt that the light above his head was much warmer, and the falling light had pink bubbles, and even the incense in the bathroom smelled very good.

He thought of Liu Junjie's words, and hurriedly said: "Director Li, I like your movies very much, if you need a singer to sing, I can do it at any time." ”

Li Shengyao nodded, "Okay, if there is a proper opportunity for cooperation, I will look for you." ”

After the words fell, Li Shengyao left the bathroom.

Zhang Jie looked at Director Li's back, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said everything he wanted to say, the big stone hanging in his heart was gone, the whole person was much more relaxed, and there was a feeling of being as light as a swallow.

"How's it going?"

Liu Junjie walked in.

"Director Li said yes, if there is a suitable opportunity, he will ask me to cooperate."

Although he knew that this might be a scene, Liu Junjie was still very happy, "That's good, I'll just say you can do it." ”

Zhang Jie nodded, "Director Li is quite peaceful, but I'm too worried." ”

……

Li Shengyao didn't know about Zhang Jie, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

He left the bathroom and returned to the big guy circle, and met many people to greet him along the way, and he smiled and nodded in response.

When he went back, the bigwigs were still together, and it seemed that they were not going to disperse tonight.

At this time, a group of directors and producers were consoling and wooing Lao Mouzi.

The directors asked Lao Mouzi to look away, don't keep thinking about Zhang Weiping.

The producers have some intention of wooing, hoping that Lao Mouzi can make a movie for them.

Li Shengyao has long known about the falling out between Lao Mouzi and Zhang Weiping, if he wants to pull Lao Mouzi into Fenghua, then he should have the most advantage.

But he didn't do it, he didn't have the idea of pulling Lao Mouzi into Fenghua.

It's not that he thinks Fenghua doesn't need talents, it's just that Lao Mouzi's later movies don't make much money, and Li Shengyao doesn't want to do a loss-making business.

In his previous life, after 2010, Lao Mouzi did not lose money except for "Man Jianghong" and "Solid as a Rock", and other movies seemed to have lost money.

As for the box office of the movie "Man Jianghong", you can talk about it well.

Lee has always disliked trading at a loss, so he never introduced the idea of Lao Mouzi.

As for saying that he wrote the script and let Lao Mouzi shoot it.

This kind of thing may not be successful, Lao Mouzi is a coffee position, what script does he want, the movies he chooses are the movies he is interested in and want to shoot.

Even if Li Shengyao writes a good story, Lao Mouzi may not have the will.

At this time, in the face of the co-optation of several top producers, Lao Mouzi showed hesitation.

Li Shengyao didn't say much, just smiled and watched.

When Yu Dong saw that Li Shengyao was back, he immediately got up, and then said to Li Shengyao: "Director Li, let's talk alone." ”

"Okay, go to the window."

Li Shengyao took the lead and stood in front of the window, he could see the night view of Yanjing.

The old city is now very modern and stylish, and at night, it is full of neon lights, cars and pedestrians dressed in fashionable clothes and looking confident.

In the distance, you can hear the sound of cars honking on the street below.

Yu Dong followed, glanced at Feng Xiaogang and Xu Wei not far away, and then whispered: "Director Li, do you have any plans for the new movie?" ”

"It's hard to say, I haven't thought of it yet."

Yu Dong nodded and agreed: "You have made two movies in a row and won awards, you must be very tired, you really have to recuperate, and your body is the most important." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Director Li, can you cooperate with us in the next movie?" ”

"What to say."

Yu Dong looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said: "You are a smart person, I won't hide it from you, Bo Na needs good films, we need movies that can make beautiful national shareholders excited, so as to raise Bo Na stocks, now in the whole of China, only you can do it." ”

Bo Na is listed in Nadax, but the stock price has been very low, and the valuation of Bo Na in the beautiful country has always been about 700 million US dollars, that is, the market value of 5 billion yuan.

This market value is useless, it is too low, and the top management of Bona has no way to make money.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, Bo Na struggled many times, but the shareholders in the beautiful country have always been not good at Bo Na, and later Bo Na simply delisted from the beautiful country and listed in Shenzhen.

Bo Na's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" last year found Li Lianjie, who originally wanted to make money in the global market, but overseas filmmakers were not optimistic.

In the end, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" only has a box office of more than 500 million in the mainland, and I don't know if it can return to its original cost, and such a result will definitely not be able to drive the stock price.

Li Shengyao heard Yu Dong's words, nodded, and did not answer.

He is equal to the conditions of the East Open.

To put it bluntly, no other mainland director has overseas appeal now, only he can.

His previous films only worked with China Film and Warner.

China Film is relatively special in the mainland, and it can play a role in distribution and review and scheduling, and it is qualified to become an ally.

As for Warner, it has the ability to distribute it worldwide.

Both of these are suitable for Fenghua.

And Bona?

Lee didn't know where he needed Bona's help.

Yu Dong is a smart person, and immediately continued: "If you come from cooperation, your new film director's salary will be 20 million US dollars." ”

The salaries of Hollywood's top directors are already at the same level as those of superstars.

Li Shengyao has not gone to Hollywood to develop now, his previous "1937" and "Parasite" are all according to mainland standards, and the salary is 20 million yuan.

Yu Dong is now driving 20 million US dollars, which is very sincere.

You must know that in addition to super blockbusters, ninety percent of the cost of movies in the mainland at this time will not exceed 20 million US dollars.

"I know your requirements, you have to ask for the copyright of the movie you make, then I will give you 49% of the copyright, and we will have a little more."

Yu Dong continued: "You can say whatever the funding is, the production cost of the whole movie, Fenghua doesn't have to pay a penny, all of it is paid by us, how to produce, how to shoot, how to edit, what kind of actors to choose, you have the final say."

Except for movie promotion, everything else is up to you. ”

If Bo Na wants to use Li Shengyao to open the beautiful country market, he will focus on promoting "Bo Na Films" to raise the stock price.

Regarding these three points, Bo Na is very generous.

Li Shengyao does not need to pay a penny to obtain 49% of the copyright of the new movie, and the director's salary is 20 million US dollars.

The only thing that is lost is the copyright of the new movie, this movie wants to promote Bona, and the copyright naturally belongs to Bona.

When Li Shengyao heard this, he thought about it and said, "Mr. Yu, I'll think about it." ”

He hadn't thought about what movie to make, so he didn't say it to death.

When Yu Dong heard this, he thought that Director Li's "Parasite" had won more than 300 million US dollars at the box office, which was higher than the box office of most Hollywood movies, maybe Hollywood would invite Li Shengyao with a lot of money.

He gritted his teeth, and then said: "Director Li, we can still sign a contract, after your new movie is released, if you can really pull up the stock price of Gaobo Na, how much our market value rises, we will give you a commission of five percent." ”

If it is like Fenghua Video, the listing has increased by 30 times, then Li Shengyao can take tens of millions of US dollars.

Feng Xiaogang, who was standing next to him, sat down to drink, he faintly heard Yu Dong's words, and almost raised his right hand.

"Let me come, let me come, let me come."

However, thinking of Director Li's overseas appeal, Feng Xiaogang quickly calmed down.

Bo Na needs filmmakers who can cause a sensation in the beautiful country, so that in the entire Chinese film circle, only Li Shengyao can do it, and no one else can.

Thinking of this, Xiao Gang Cannon glanced at Li Shengyao enviously.

His two "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and "Tangshan Earthquake" are very high at the box office, but they can only make money in the mainland, and they don't recognize Hong Kong Island and Wanwan.

His influence can't go out of the mainland, which is his biggest limitation now.

His new movie "1942" also invited Hollywood celebrities, just to make a breakthrough.

Li Shengyao thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Yu, I'll think about it again and give you the answer in a few days." ”

Yu Dong nodded, "Director Li, please remember, money is not a problem, we can have as much money as we want, no matter what scene, what special effects, we can be satisfied." ”

"Okay, I'll think about it."
