Chapter 624: Director Candidates
After Liu Yifei finished planting trees at home, she got busy again.
"Wang Xiaofang Born in 82" has not yet found a suitable director.
I have seen a few famous people in the circle, but people either have projects in their hands, or they don't only do their own projects, and they don't take on outside dramas at all.
Liu Yifei wanted to find Xue Xiaolu again, but Xue Xiaolu was going to shoot "North West 2" later, and there was other work after the end, so it was inconvenient to shoot again.
On this day, Chen Zhixi made an appointment with her, saying that she was going to meet a director.
"Director Ning mainly focuses on literary films, and has also made several commercial films in recent years." Chen Zhixi introduced to her, "I returned to China a few days ago, and I hurried to make an appointment with her, otherwise they would leave again in a few days." ”
The director Chen Zhixi wants to meet is called Ning Ying, the fifth generation.
A female director with a very high upper and lower limit, the upper limit, she made films like "Looking for Fun" and "Police Story" before the age of 30; At the lower limit, she also has bad movies like "A Side B Side" and "Kung Fu Man".
However, Ning Ying's reputation in the circle is not bad.
Chen Zhixi and Liu Yifei talked with Ning Ying for more than two hours, left the script, and left.
…………
It doesn't matter if there is no blockbuster in the Qingming schedule, it is very unreasonable if there is no blockbuster in the May Day schedule.
But this year's situation is special, before May Day, "Furious 7" was released, although no one expected that "Furious 7" would explode like this in advance, but as an old IP, the basic ability to attract money is here, and there are still many people who are afraid of it.
On the 8th after May Day, the high-profile "Super Chapai" was released, and on the 12th, "Avengers 2" landed.
Under the attack of Hollywood blockbusters, no domestic blockbusters are willing to stay in May Day.
But the demand for watching movies on May Day is here again, at least, in the past few days of the May Day holiday, the growth of "Furious 7" has slowed down, giving way to the film schedule, and no new blockbusters have entered the market. This gives the opportunity.
"Left Ear" sold 55 million at the box office on the first day, ranking second on the day - the champion was "Super 7", which took 58 million.
The box office in the first three days of the weekend was 198 million.
This achievement is very exaggerated, and there is really no reason to talk about youth films in these years.
"Left Ear" is probably also the first work of Chen Dulin and Ma Sichun to be remembered.
But Ma Sichun's treatment after that is obviously higher than Chen Dulin, who calls the aunt Jiang Wenli, and the sister-in-law is Gu Changwei.
After the first weekend of "Left Ear", Jiang Wenli directly brought her to see Zhang Yuanjun, do other actors have this way?
"Hello Mr. Zhang." In the face of the living, Ma Sichun was not timid at all, and greeted Zhang Yuanjun very generously.
"Don't call me teacher," Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile, "I'm not a few years older than you, you?" ”
"I'm 88 years."
"I'm 3 years older than you, my age." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
"Peers are more topical." Jiang Wenli said with a smile.
"The Invisible Guest" rejected her, and Zhang Yuanjun now wants Gu Changwei to take over "Redemption", Jiang Wenli didn't take this kind of thing to heart, and no one would be so small-minded.
But Zhang Yuanjun has to talk to people in a good voice.
Jiang Wenli joked with Zhang Yuanjun: "If you hadn't fallen in love and got married too early, I would have wanted to marry you." ”
Zhang Yuanjun, a married man, was thick-skinned and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I missed it." ”
Knowing that it was a joke, Ma Sichun laughed too.
Ma Sichun said that Zhang Yuanjun is her idol: "I especially like your plays, and I have been to your premiere." ”
Jiang Wenli's meaning is obvious, and she wants Zhang Yuanjun to take her little niece: "The role is no matter how big or small, even if you audition, you can't pass her." ”
Zhang Yuanjun didn't refuse immediately, Ma Sichun has a good image, and his acting skills are excellent among the younger generation, if there is a suitable role, he is actually willing to sell Jiang Wenli's favor.
Zhang Yuanjun joked: "It's okay to play a mother?" ”
Ma Sichun replied briskly: "Okay, I'm 27 years old, and I can play a young mother." ”
Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile: "Then you have a wide range of dramas, you can act in youth films, and your mother can also act, but I can't act in youth films." ”
Jiang Wenli added: "You can't play the mother." ”
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Yuanjun smiled.
Zhang Yuanjun sat for a while, said a few words, and left.
In fact, Zhang Yuanjun has a role for Ma Sichun, but this is not the case, and Jiang Wenli can't give it as soon as he opens his mouth.
Jiang Wenli didn't think that everyone would sit for a while and get things done, today is mainly to get to know each other.
Besides, isn't there still Gu Changwei here, Zhang Yuanjun has asked Gu Changwei to help bring his niece when the time comes, and it will be a matter of course.
The words are divided into two ends, after the script of "Redemption" was given to Gu Changwei, Zhang Yuanjun also sent a professional production team to connect with him.
Gu Changwei needs any conditions, whether he wants a salary or anything else, he can mention it.
If you have any opinions on the script and how to change it, don't hesitate to mention it.
But Gu Changwei doesn't have high requirements for these aspects, he doesn't hide his love for the script of "Redemption", but he just doesn't give a reply to the production team.
However, it didn't take long for Huayi to learn about it.
Gu Changwei and Huayi have a contract, otherwise the first commercial film would not be produced by Huayi.
Although Huayi is "de-simplifying the movie", it has never given up on movies, and there are films every year.
After knowing that Zhang Yuanjun handed Gu Changwei the film, Wang Zhonglei immediately asked Gu Changwei for the script to read.
Wang Zhonglei knows the goods in the end, and after reading the script, he was curious why Gu Changwei didn't agree to Zhang Yuanjun.
"This book is very good, although the mood is very low, but it is very profound, there is no pressure for Zhang Yuanjun to play this kind of character." Now Wang Zhonglei is on the battlefield to persuade Gu Changwei to make a film.
Zhang Yuanjun hasn't cooperated with Huayi with a book for a long time.
"The Invisible Guest" Huayi also wants to participate in a share, but the cost of this movie is too small, and three or five producers have divided the investment, and Zhang Yuanjun + Gong Li + Ni Ni are clearly making money, and few people are willing to transfer their shares.
The literary film starring Zhang Yuanjun is very popular in the international market, and Huayi is very willing to promote this cooperation.
Huayi will announce its film list for the coming year at the end of each year, and if Zhang Yuanjun's films can be added this year, it will inevitably add gold to his film list.
Let the outside world question that Huayi doesn't make movies, shut up, and can you still invest in Zhang Yuanjun's literary films if you don't make movies?
Of course, although Gu Changwei and Huayi have a filming agreement, Wang Zhonglei can't force Gu Changwei to nod.
There was a slight stalemate on Gu Changwei's side, and Huayi turned the car to contact Zhang Yuanjun first.
Only then did Zhang Yuanjun know that Gu Changwei and Huayi had an agreement.
Zhang Yuanjun doesn't mind cooperating with Huayi, Huayi is still the richest film company in the country, with a high market value, and even the stocks in his hands have increased a lot.
With Huayi joining the lobby, Gu Changwei should take over "Redemption", Zhang Yuanjun also agreed, Gu Changwei took it, and he would accept Huayi's investment.
Huayi's producer responded with a smile. (End of chapter)
