This year's May Day is tragic to the naked eye.

There were two big ships that harvested the market first - "Titanic" and "Super Battleship".

Later, Marvel's "The Avengers" blocked the back road on the 5th.

made the three domestic films that hit the May Day schedule very uncomfortable, and domestic filmmakers didn't expect "Titanic" to be so fierce.

Huang Xiaoming took "Piff" to kill, and the creators very sincerely called on the audience to support domestic films at the press conference, saying that they would "fight for domestic films".

But at the same time, there is no blind optimism: "I have no goals and expectations, I do it with the determination to die." ”

In the movie "Piff", Xiao Ming also has bitterness and can't say it.

This is Huang Xiaoming's first film invested by the producer, and he, the producer, deserves to be wronged.

Director Yang Shupeng's talent of half a bucket of water still likes waves, and the crew is still filming, so he cheated on the heroine of the movie, Sister Zhang, the investor of this drama and his wife, who directly divorced him and withdrew his capital and left.

The drama has started filming, so it can't be disbanded halfway, Xiao Ming has no choice, so he has to pay out of his own pocket to be the producer.

Another film is Ning Hao's "The Great Gold Robbery", the lifting of the ban on "No Man's Land" is still far away, and in the face of the tragic May Day, Ning Hao said that he has no expectations for the box office. The biggest expectation is that the audience will be satisfied. ”

The last release is "Killing" in which Guan Hu and Huang Bo collaborate again. "Killing" didn't complain or sell badly, but it was still asked how to face the backlash of Hollywood blockbusters.

Guan Hu said at the scene: "I really didn't expect to encounter this situation, but all we can do is try our best to publicize it." The words were full of helplessness.

This year's May Day starts on Sunday and will be released for three days, and the Saturday before the holiday will be adjusted to one day, and only one day will be placed after rounding.

But this kind of thing doesn't matter to Zhang Yuanjun, he doesn't have to go to the theater, and he doesn't need to join the group, except for some necessary activities and interviews, he has holidays every day.

At the Beijing Film Festival, Zhang Yuanjun met with Wang Zhonglei of Huayi, Li Xiaoping of Huayi, Zhong Lifang of Xiaoma and the relevant persons in charge of other film companies, all of whom came to discuss investment in "The Hunger Games 2".

Each of them was willing to make a bid, so Eddie sent two producers from the United States to assist Zhang Yuanjun in the negotiations.

but not the one who was Bernard.

Yu Dong was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, he was the first to talk to Zhang Yuanjun about investing in "The Hunger Games 2", but now Zhang Yuanjun actually ignored him.

Until the end of the Beijing Film Festival, Zhang Yuanjun did not see anyone from Bernard again.

The day after the end of the film festival, Zhang Yuanjun disappeared from public view, saying that there were some things to prepare for the wedding that required him to go abroad.

In fact, he went to his own farm in Australia for a vacation, but it was also because of the wedding preparations, and the red wine used in the wedding came from the farm, and he came to taste the wine.

"Actually, it's good to move the wedding here, with endless grasslands and private beaches, and the decoration must be romantic."

Assistant Xiao Zhao followed Xiangfu and said with a smile: "You can't do it, you keep this place, and if I want to get married, I will come to you to do it." ”

"You can find a boyfriend first." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.

"My mother is already urging me to go on a blind date for the New Year." Xiao Zhao said.

"Wouldn't it, go on a blind date at the age of 28? But it's okay to be a channel to meet new people. Zhang Yuanjun comforted his assistant.

The two were walking on the farm, and Xiao Zhao said, "When are you going to hang Yu Dong?" ”

Of course, Xiao Zhao knew that Zhang Yuanjun was fishing, but he didn't know when he would take the bait.

"His secretary calls me four or five times a day." Xiao Zhao said.

"Wait, there's no hurry."

"Beware of the fish running away."

"Don't worry, I'm ready to eat this fish." Zhang Yuanjun is confident.

"Whoever sells is not selling, and other companies are quite generous in bidding." Xiao Zhao was worried that Chi would change, and persuaded him to close the net quickly.

"The first half of the sentence is right, anyone is sold, but I'm going to catch Berner's fish. Don't worry, Yu Dong can't run away. Zhang Yuanjun is full of confidence.

On the third day of Zhang Yuanjun's stay on the farm, Wang Zhonglei brought someone to find him somehow, and said that he would forgive me for coming uninvited, but he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving.

Sometimes doing business is to be thick-skinned, and high-end business warfare may not have so many skills.

Zhang Yuanjun invited them to live on the farm, still talking about going abroad to find red wine for wedding banquets.

"It's not a big brand, but it's made from my own farm, which is very meaningful." Zhang Yuanjun invited Wang Zhonglei to taste wine.

Wang Zhonglei is definitely a person who knows how to enjoy, although the quality of this home-brewed red wine is also average, Wang Zhonglei drank it, but he also praised that this wine is delicious, the taste is mellow, and he said with a smile at the end:

"In fact, the wedding banquet is just a drink, and the taste of the wine and food is acceptable. Of course, if your family does this, the standard must be raised. ”

Zhang Yuanjun also smiled: "Actually, Mr. Wang is really not wrong, this kind of scene is just a rough drink." How's this wine? Comfortable as a wedding welcome, right? ”

"It's delicious." Wang Zhonglei gave a positive opinion, "I still want to be cheeky and ask for a few bottles to take back to drink." ”

"No problem." Zhang Yuanjun said.

Wang Zhonglei talked about the domestic market, and the May Day file was too miserable.

But as an actor, Zhang Yuanjun doesn't care too much about the market pattern, Wang Zhonglei mentioned "Di Renjie 2" again, and secretly complained that Zhang Yuanjun didn't take this play: "The film and television city invested and built by your sister-in-law is under the banner of Xu Jiao's "Di Renjie" series, but you don't act in your own house. ”

Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile: "My role as Di Renjie will inevitably conflict with Director Xu Jiao and your company." ”

"Why?"

"The "Fast and Furious" series is a living example, the whole series is Vin Diesel's final say, which actor to use, who will direct, how to shoot, Universal has to discuss with him, if he doesn't nod, the movie can't be made. Will Huayi give me the same power as Vin Diesel? Zhang Yuanjun asked Wang Zhonglei rhetorically.

Wang Zhonglei understood what Zhang Yuanjun meant, but he couldn't believe that Zhang Yuanjun's tone was so big.

At present, there is no actor like Vin Diesel in China.

Of course, there is no evergreen series like "Fast and Furious" in China.

But Wang Zhonglei quickly went over what Zhang Yuanjun said in his mind, and the answer was that Huayi would not let Zhang Yuanjun dominate the "Di Renjie" series like Van Diesel, even if he was the guarantee of the success of the whole play.

But Wang Zhonglei knows that if there is really an actor who can bind 24 "Di Renjie", then he must give the other party enough respect.

24 "Di Renjie", Huayi himself didn't believe that this movie could be made for so long.

"Di Renjie" has 24 films, which are more for the hype of the film and television city and Huayi.

The purpose of Wang Zhonglei's trip is naturally "The Hunger Games 2", and he once again quoted a price to Zhang Yuanjun, which was 2 million US dollars higher than the previous in China, and asked to remain unchanged, asking for a fixed investment income of 4.22%.

Huayi knew that Zhang Yuanjun wouldn't, and Hollywood wouldn't allow him to participate in the global account sharing of such a sequel to a blockbuster movie, so Huayi only talked about fixed income.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuanjun said: "I have a good scenery, Wang Zongquan should come on vacation, put down work for the time being, and rest." "Avoid talking about investment. (End of chapter)
