Is Zhang Guorong excited?

Very exciting!

When he finished reading the script of "If Love", he fell in love with the movie!

Song and dance film, this is a field that he has never tried, but it is a field that is just right for him.

Because he has been a singer himself, he also played singing and dancing back then!

A director with singing and dancing experience is relatively easy to grasp the expressiveness of "song and dance" in song and dance films.

The plot of this movie itself is also the attraction of Zhang Guorong, he likes this love story very much, which is similar to "Stealing Hearts", but the core is different.

Such a movie that is more mature on the basis of "Stealing Hearts" and has more novel elements is indeed very suitable for Zhang Guorong to continue to level up.

Just if he wants to make this movie, he needs to join Wu Yuan's company.

Because the script was taken out by Wu Yuan.

He couldn't have been kind enough to give someone a script.

"Director Wu, I really like this book."

Zhang Guorong smiled at Wu Yuan and pushed the script back in front of Wu Yuan, "Just say it, what are the conditions?" ”

Wu Yuan, who likes to be so direct, also smiled and put forward his conditions: "Join my company and become a contracted director in the era of light and shadow." ”

"If you sign for eight years, I can give you 3% of the company's shares and give you an annual salary of 2 million per year."

"Of course, I know you don't like this annual salary."

"In addition, I can also promise that the company invests and publishes scripts for you to shoot films, and you can have 5% of the profits, which is the profit of the producer."

"If you write your own script, you can fund it yourself, and the company that doesn't have enough will make up for it, and you will participate in the distribution of benefits according to the actual proportion of your investment."

"If you save a movie yourself, the company doesn't have to participate in any revenue sharing."

"However, you have the right to refuse the script that the company has arranged for you, and the company also has the right to evaluate and refuse to invest in the script you have created."

"That's fair, isn't it?"

The conditions given by Wu Yuan are almost the same as those of Feng Xiaogang's signing with Huayi in 2001.

It's just that there are two million less in terms of annual salary, Zhang Guorong really doesn't lack these millions, it doesn't matter how much he gives or how little he gives, and now he really can't be compared with Feng Xiaogang in terms of value (in the field of directing acting).

In addition, Wu Yuan also mentioned one more condition for the company to arrange the script.

This is because no one in Huayi can write a script for Feng Xiaogang, Feng Xiaogang has always found a screenwriter to write a script by himself, and Huayi is of course only responsible for giving money.

Wu Yuan is very confident, he believes that the script he came up with will definitely impress Zhang Guorong, and he will not be rejected by Zhang Guorong easily, so the benefits in this regard must also be made clear.

On the contrary, he is not so optimistic about Zhang Guorong's level of writing scripts, so naturally he can't blindly invest money in him, and he still has to pass the evaluation.

"Eight years? Wouldn't it be a little too long. Zhang Guorong frowned, a little resistant to this year.

"Is it long?" Wu Yuan cocked Erlang's legs, leaned on the back of the sofa, and said: "Those singers and actors have signed record contracts and brokerage contracts for eight years and ten years. ”

"How can a director's career be much longer than that of an actor or singer who is easily discouraged, right?"

"Eight years is not a long time at all, and eight years can't even train an excellent director."

"Director Wu, I remember that you have only been making movies for four years..."Zhang Guorong twitched the corners of his mouth and retorted.

"Huaxia film has developed for a hundred years, and there is such a thing as me." Wu Yuan rolled his eyes: "Can this be the same?" ”

"In short, eight years is really not a long time, Director Feng and Huayi heard that they signed for ten years."

Zhang Guorong was silent.

"I'll think about it." He took a sip from his glass, then stopped making a sound, and pondered quietly.

Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and added: "Besides, I only signed your director's contract, and your record contract and brokerage contract have nothing to do with me." ”

"You're really not satisfied with your stay in our company by then, can I really force you to continue directing?"

In fact, this kind of behavior of signing directors will be eliminated by the market in about ten years, and most directors after ten years will not sign their directors with a certain film production company, at most they will sign an agency contract.

The directors are more likely to make their own studios, and then take the script to the film company to attract investment, and the film company is a cooperative relationship.

Wu Yuan didn't want to tie Zhang Guorong for the rest of his life, he just hoped that in the next eight years, he could help himself share the burden and be a qualified tool man in the era of light and shadow.

If you want to develop fast in the early stage of the light and shadow era, it is definitely not enough to rely on a director.

When the company develops, Wu Yuan doesn't care about these one or two directors, and when the time comes, some directors will rush to take over his company's plays.

Zhang Guorong still looked like he was brooding, but Wu Yuan could already see that he was very moved.

Sure enough, after the two sat silently and drank for a few minutes, Zhang Guorong, who had been silent, suddenly reached out and clicked on the cover of the script of "If Love".

"This movie, if it really wants to be made, which actors does Director Wu think is suitable to play?"

Being able to ask this sentence shows that Zhang Guorong really wants to direct this movie.

The fish has taken the bait!

Wu Yuan naturally cooperated to talk about this topic.

"I think Zhou Xun is very suitable for the heroine, I have filmed with Zhou Xun, and she has also acted in my movies."

Wu Yuan recalled for a while, and said with some emotion: "She is really a very spiritual actor, and she belongs to the kind where God feeds rice to her mouth." ”

"Zhou Xun..."Zhang Guorong nodded thoughtfully: "He is indeed a good young actor." ”

"What about the male protagonist?"

"I don't have any ideas about that." Wu Yuan spread his hands: "When the time comes, let's hold a large-scale audition, and all the actors in the mainland who can act in this movie will be called to try it out." ”

"Only for mainland actors?" Zhang Guorong's good-looking eyebrows wrinkled again, although he didn't mind using mainland actors, the three leading actors of "Stealing Hearts" were all from the mainland, but this did not mean that he hoped that Wu Yuan would discriminate against actors on Hong Kong Island.

Speaking of which, except for Zhang Guorong, Wu Yuan has not used any Hong Kong Island actors!

"Director Wu..."Zhang Guorong asked with some hesitation: "Do you have any bad opinions about actors on Hong Kong Island?" ”

"In fact, the actors on Hong Kong Island are also very good, their acting skills are also very good, and they are also very dedicated to their work."

"Otherwise, the Hong Kong Island Academy Awards would not be so good and influential throughout Asia."

"It's very good, I don't have a bad opinion." Wu Yuan hurriedly shook his head and explained: "I also like the excellent actors on Hong Kong Island, otherwise how could I find you to shoot "The Undertaker"?" ”

"I just hope to train a group of excellent mainland actors."

"You see, the film market in the mainland will definitely get bigger and bigger in the future, but the number of outstanding actors in the mainland is completely insufficient, so what if the market is big but there are no actors available?"

"I know that there are many excellent actors on Hong Kong Island, but Hong Kong Island also makes a lot of movies every year, and Hong Kong Island actors are not short of job opportunities, and they have been trained to be good enough."

"But mainland actors are in urgent need of growth now, and they must be given more opportunities to mainland actors."

Well, this is half true, Wu Yuan still has some bad opinions about Hong Kong Island actors, but it is not for everyone, only for some actors.

Otherwise, Wu Yuan would not have saved Zhang Guorong.

He also likes actors like Hua Ge, Gu Zai, and Liu Jingyun, but he really didn't meet the right cooperation opportunities.

However, Wu Yuan will most likely not have a fate with the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

There are many conditions for mainland film and television works to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The director must be a Hong Kong Island Permanent Identity Card.

The film is produced by at least one Hong Kong Island company.

At least 6 of the staff members of the project in the video hold Hong Kong Island permanent identity cards.

Two of the above three conditions must be met in order to be eligible for the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

Wu Yuan is not from Hong Kong Island, and it is impossible for him to accept Hong Kong Island Capital to invest in his own films, and he is destined to have no chance to participate in the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

This also made him not very interested in using Hong Kong Island actors, at least he would not take the initiative to pursue it.

Zhang Guorong is different, as long as he satisfies that at least 6 of the staff members of the film are Hong Kong Islanders, he can participate in the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

Actors are also counted as one of the crew projects.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan added: "In the role of Nie Wen in the script, I think it's good to let Zhang Xueyou play it." ”

You say I don't like Hong Kong Island actors, then I'll find a Hong Kong Island actor to be the head office for mainland actors, and I can also meet the requirements for participating in the Academy Awards...
