051 Every successful person is not accidental
The three of them sat down in the office, and then Wang Zhonglei began to smoke and make tea.
Several people first chatted about the advantages of "Far Cry", Chen Guofu and Wang Zhonglei were embarrassed to blow it.
"Director He, your film is of very high quality, I will recommend it to Columbia when I go back, maybe go to a wave of theaters all over Asia." Chen Guofu began to throw bait.
But don't say it, it's quite tempting, He Fang is very excited, he doesn't make money if he is rich.
"Oh? Is it? If it is really possible, then I have to thank Mr. Chen. He Fang showed great enthusiasm.
"If you agree, I'll help you ask when you go back, I personally feel very sure, of course, it depends on how the Columbia company thinks." Chen Guofu didn't pat his chest and promise, after all, he can't help you for no reason, the next thing is to see if you understand whether you understand or not, and if you are sensible, I will help you, if you are not sensible, then there is an excuse.
"Definitely agree, must agree, who wants to live with money? As for Columbia's idea, that's crucial, and there's no guarantee that it will succeed, I understand. ”
"Haha...... Come, Director He, drink tea. "Wang Zhonglei is playing haha here.
The three of them all picked up the cups and picked up the tea, as a guest, he had to praise the tea, but he didn't know much about tea, but he also had to praise two words.
"Hey, this Pu'er tea is okay, although I don't understand tea, but this is really the best Pu'er tea I've ever drunk, with a rich aroma, soft and smooth, and a sweet taste. Tsk, good tea, it's a pity that I don't understand tea, I can't taste a higher realm, and I wasted a pot of good tea from Mr. Xiao Wang. He Fang praised.
Wang Zhonglei and Chen Guofu were very surprised, they didn't expect He Fang, the director, to be so greasy, completely different from other directors. Other directors are generally very wooden in dealing with people, and when they talk about movies, they can talk to people with red faces and red ears, and foaming at the mouth. It's like He Fang, who is alive and well, like a little oilman in society, very sleek.
"Eh, what did Director He say here, just the comment you just made praising me for this pot of tea is worth it, I didn't expect Director He to also have a study or two about tea." Wang Zhonglei praised.
"Hey, it's not because I've been like this since I was a kid, when I was a kid, I used to go to my dad and uncle's office, and they would have two drinks with each other. I don't know how to drink it, and I can't taste anything, but I can brag about it if I drink too much. ”
"Hehe, Director He is modest. Director He, how do you plan to cooperate with "Single Zoo"? "Wang Zhonglei saw that everyone was almost bragging and farting, and it was time to get down to business.
"Hmm......" He Fang muttered for a moment, and then drank another cup of tea.
"Actually, my idea is very simple, not complicated. Huayi invests in a lot of movies every year to make money, and it is not bad for my "Single Zoo". However, Huayi has been very successful at the box office over the years, but it is a little thin in terms of awards. I want to go out and win the award in this movie, and I don't know if it can be successful, but I just want to have a try. Moreover, I believe that the box office of this movie will not be too bad, and I also hope to have a double harvest at the box office. This is what I hope to bring to Huayi, and I also want to impress Huayi by this. He Fang said slowly.
He Fang's words are indeed Huayi's pain point, the most unconvincing thing for Huayi in the film industry over the years is the awards, which have been criticized and looked down upon by Zhang Weiping's big mouth on many occasions.
Even Huayi wanted to cooperate with Chen Kaige, but people felt that Huayi was too commercial, and they were somewhat resistant, even Jiang Wen did not first look for them when looking for new film investment, but went south to Hong Kong to find Yang Shoucheng.
What's with? Isn't it because Huayi is too commercial and doesn't pay attention to film art.
Although Huayi is about to go public, it cannot be rated as the most powerful film and television company without a weighty award-winning work. Which of the six major Hollywood film companies is not both commercial and artistic?
"Hey, this movie is going to be awarded? Director He, are you sure? How do I look like a comedy? Although Wang Zhonglei said it to whom, his eyes looked at Chen Guofu and wanted Chen Guofu to weigh the possibility of winning the award.
"Grasp? Who's to say 100% sure? Just a try. If it doesn't work out, don't we have a box office guarantee? "He Fang will definitely not put the guarantee.
"It's a funny movie, it's a soft sci-fi with black humor and dystopian social machinery. At the same time, it also implies that violence and utopia are twin brothers, and it is in the unfree union of those who force freedom. Even the story reflects on the part about love and faith, because of love, lovers have become each other's beliefs, and without love, they are just losing their faith, just the walking dead, other people's tools. In addition, it also satirizes the rigidity and mechanics of the social system, how can things like love and marriage be completed by coercion? Therefore, if you want to say that the artistic value is also very high, it depends on how the movie is made. ”
After Chen Guofu finished speaking, he looked at He Fang, as if he wanted to confirm whether He Fang was thinking like this.
And at this time, He Fang was shocked, this is a master, and he saw through the script's attempt at a glance. No wonder people can have such great achievements, really, every successful person is not accidental, nor is he an amateur, he must have cultivated into a master in a certain industry.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, you ...... Cow, I feel like you've seen through my thoughts. No, it's a pity it's tea, if it's wine, I'll have to toast with you three times, really. He Fang said excitedly.
Chen Guofu also smiled and waved his hand, "It's all about directors, this is our profession, if you can't even see this, then what's the face of coming out?" ”
Chen Guofu said modestly, while Wang Zhonglei squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin with one hand. He really didn't expect it, it turned out that this script was so good.
"So, Mr. Chen, do you think you can win the award?" Wang Zhonglei asked.
Chen Guofu picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Look at what awards you won, the awards of the three major film festivals are difficult, and other film festivals are possible." ”
When Wang Zhonglei heard this, he turned his head to look at him, "Which film festivals does Director He plan to attack?" ”
"Of course the three, my intention is to go to Cannes next year, and I will talk about it if it succeeds, anyway, I have to go first." He Fang waved his hand magnificently.
"Wow, you have the guts." Chen Guofu gave a thumbs up.
"Director He just said the benefits to Huayi, so what does Director He want our Huayi to bring you?" Wang Zhonglei asked.
"Of course, it is the resources of investment, publicity and film festival, although I have no shortage of investment, but I always think that making the cake bigger will benefit everyone than eating alone. In addition, although "Far Cry" is very good at the box office, the publicity and distribution of Lake Film Group is still incomparable with Huayi, which is what I hope Huayi can bring me. The other point is that everyone knows that it is impossible to be completely fair and impartial, so I need the help of a company like Huayi. ”
He Fang said it very directly.
