If He Fang admires which Hong Kong directors he admires, then Wang Jing is definitely one, he is very in line with He Fang's film concept, and he has this talent.

Wang Jing's concept is very simple: you have to make money to make movies, and if you don't make money, you will be sorry for investors. This idea is definitely right, however, he has played this concept a little too far, and what is to stop it.

What do you mean by being a little overdone? In order to make money, he can sacrifice the quality of the film, and the goal is as long as he makes money. He Fang feels that this needs to be stopped, and the money must be made, but he can't make bad movies.

said that he is talented, he is indeed talented, and the creation of the gambling film series is very good, as well as "Jiupin Sesame Official", "Tricky Expert", "Hardcover Chasing Girls", "No. 1 in the World", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master", "The Deer and Ding Ji", ......

These works are all manifestations of his talent, countless good films are from him, and of course there are countless bad movies from him.

If such a person cooperates well and can develop good films in his hands, he will definitely be able to become a very capable director in Chinese films.

Anyway, there is an evaluation system, as long as his script can pass the evaluation system, this risk is worth taking. Moreover, you must accept the production management of Tuanhuo Culture, and it is definitely not possible to cheat money if you want to.

So once you have the principles, it's easy to do.

Other people make movies silently, and there are very few big news, but "The Origin of the White Snake" is constantly breaking big news during the filming process, but it has nothing to do with the movie, which is really ...... It's not a good job.

No, on March 11, He Fang asked Zhang Yimou to shoot for him for a day, he left the crew and went to talk about cooperation with Wang Jing.

Wang Jing first visited the Lake Film and Television City, and then learned about the evaluation system, and after listening to the introduction, he nodded, and he could accept it.

After visiting several large studios and photography streets, as well as the post-production of film and television, Wang Jing was impressed.

Of course, they also went to the filming site of "The Origin of the White Snake" to watch it for a while, and Wang Jing was very emotional about this combination of CG virtual scene and live scene.

"No wonder you say that there are not many directors who play technology in Hong Kong, we can't play this thing on a large scale in Hong Kong, and the production budget is simply not enough."

"This has to have an environment for making blockbusters, and it's not unusual for everyone to use these things, Hong Kong doesn't have such an environment, because blockbusters are too risky, and no boss in Hong Kong dares to invest."

"Guanghu Film and Television City has now invested a total of five or six billion yuan, and if it weren't for the five or six billion yuan invested, I wouldn't have spent $100 million to make a blockbuster. Otherwise, even if I was willing to spend $100 million to make it, I wouldn't be able to make it, because I would have to go to the United States to achieve the desired effect, and at the cost of the United States, a film like "Pacific Rim" would have to cost at least nearly $200 million. ”

He Fang introduced.

"Yes, without the support of a huge market, everything is not to be discussed, and the current Hong Kong films that are doing well will be Jackie Chan, and it is very good that he can get a box office of one or two hundred million yuan in the world, but it can't support the return of blockbusters with an investment of one or two hundred million dollars. Other directors who can get one or two million dollars in the world are the top of the top, so Hong Kong can't afford to play with such technology, which leads to falling behind step by step. Wang Jing shook her head.

"Therefore, you still have to come to the mainland to work hard, and the consciousness of sticking to the small places in Hong Kong will only get narrower and narrower."

"Okay, Director He, let's talk about cooperation, I can't wait." Wang Jing also made up her mind.

"Let's go, let's go to my company and sit down."

After saying that, he took Wang Jing to the company, and then the two of them put forward requirements, key points, norms, and conditions......

He talked to Wang Jing about these things more directly, probably because Hong Kong people accept more European and American cultures, so some things are talked about directly but quickly.

He Fang also doesn't like to beat around the bush, and it is more time-saving to go straight away.

In the end, it took about 30 minutes for the two to reach an agreement, Wang Jing chose the way of a ten-film cooperation plan, and the cooperation time was too long, and he couldn't see the way forward.

If ten movies are a big investment, one film a year can ensure Wang Jing's high popularity and high income in the mainland and internationally, and he can shoot others in Hong Kong.

Then Wang Jing's personal remuneration is 5% of the production budget of each film as the director's salary, plus 8% of the box office share.

Of course, in addition to personal remuneration, there is also a share of investment open to their company, which is 20% for each film.

There are also norms for the director, that is, the director must produce a set of director's scripts before the official shooting, and it must be completed on time and with quality according to the production plan, and then during the filming process, the director shall not modify more than 5% of the content of the script, and the modified part does not involve the main character and the main plot.

The prerequisite for all this is that after Wang Jing's script and project have passed the evaluation system, and then the main control of the film is Tuanhuo Culture, and Tuanhuo Culture has some power in terms of copyright......

There are more specifications in the details, and I won't go into details, but that's roughly the direction.

It took another half an hour, and the staff on both sides went to scrutinize the words and sentences, and it was basically completed.

"Director Wang, you think this condition is sincere enough, right? Don't worry, I'm definitely not lying to you. After He Fang finished negotiating the contract with Wang Jing, He Fang held Wang Jing's hand and said.

"Since you dare to let me come, I believe you have this sincerity." Wang Jing was also very happy.

"Okay, then let's sign this agreement first, and then we will arrange it here, and tomorrow morning we will have a press conference, and we will have a signing ceremony, what do you think?" He asked.

"Of course, yes, then sign it, by the way, after signing the contract, I still want to go to your "White Snake Origin" set to learn and learn."

"Haha, don't talk about learning, let's communicate with each other."

Next, the two signed the contract, and the matter was decided, and then Wang Jing took out the script he had carefully prepared and gave it to Tuanhuo Culture for them to evaluate.

He Fang also took a cursory look, like "Chasing the Dragon", "Macau Fengyun", "Crazy Boy: The New Order of Jianghu", "Ace Amuses Ace", "The Legend of Demon Suppression", "New Six-Fingered Qin Demon", "Heavy Armor Police", ......

He Fang suddenly asked, "Director Wang, does your script accept revision?" That is, if the overall direction of your script is correct, but there is some flaw in it that affects the quality of the script, are you willing to accept revisions? ”

In fact, there are some scripts that actually have a good foundation, but because of some flaws, they finally became bad movies.

For example, the biggest bad movie "Macau Vice", the overall direction is okay, but the content is ...... It's hard to put into words.

Wang Jing thought for a moment, "Of course you can, I heard that you have a very good screenwriting team that came back from Hollywood, if they are willing to help revise it, it would be the best." ”

Wang Jing is not very disgusted by this, because he knows that He Fang attaches great importance to the script, and he has also talked about the importance of the script on different occasions.

"That's good, I think if you modify it, the quality of your film will go up a notch. Director Wang, you can usually make some short and fast bad movies, but I think we must take the ten movies we cooperate with seriously, and we must strive for excellence, I not only hope that these ten films can make money in China, but also represent Chinese films to the world, but also can't be sloppy. He Fang said solemnly.

"Isn't this why I'm here to cooperate, otherwise why would I come? I can also make movies in Hong Kong, and I don't lack money to shoot small films. Wang Jing spread his hands and said.

"Haha, okay, let's go, let's go, go to dinner first, and then go to the set."

……

On March 12, this time the reporters still didn't know much, because Tuanhuo Culture did not report the general content to the media in advance.

"Do you know what's going on this time?"

"I didn't say it, the people of Tuanhuo Culture said that they wanted to leave a surprise, I don't know what they do."

"It's a surprise or not, that's what attracts attention."

…… The reporter came to the media center and chatted happily, they like the group fire culture, because there is constantly news breaking out, their jobs are guaranteed, and there are media fees to receive, why not?

After a while, the host came, and then the press conference officially began.

"Friends from the media, welcome to the press conference of Tuanhuo Culture, which is mainly a signing conference of cooperation between Tuanhuo Culture and Hong Kong director Wang Jing."

"After friendly consultation and communication between Tuanhuo Culture and Director Wang Jing himself, Director Wang Jing will also jointly produce and distribute ten films with Tuanhuo Culture in the future, of which the basic scripts of ten films are created by Director Wang Jing, and he is also responsible for the director's work."

"Tuanhuo Culture is responsible for the main investment and production and global distribution, and the specific relevant terms will be sent to you in the form of a document later."

Next, let's invite Mr. He Fang, the founder of Tuanhuo Culture Company, and Mr. Wang Jing, a famous Hong Kong director, to sign a contract. Please! ”

The reporters have 100,000 'digging' in their hearts to say, it's only been a few days since they signed a contract with Zhang Yimou? Immediately signed a contract with Wang Jing again? What is Tuanhuo Culture for?

Are they planning to monopolize the year-round high-quality box office slots? If a blockbuster film of Zhang Yimou, Wang Jing and He Fang is released every year, the market can be imagined......

The key is who makes more than one film a year, he makes three or four films a year.

There is also a new director of their company, who released the 2012 filming plan a few years ago......

The fire culture is going to be in full swing.

Under the shooting of the camera's 'click', He Fang and Wang Jing completed the signing, and then the two shook hands and took a group photo with reporters.

Next, there is a media interview session, and I invite media friends to ask questions. Well, the reporter of the "Xiaoxiang Morning Post" ......"

That's home advantage, and the first one is to take care of the local media.

"Director Fang, how did the cooperation between Tuanhuo Culture and Director Wang Jing happen? What are the antecedents and consequences? When will the first part be co-ordinated? ”

He pulled the microphone, "How did this happen?" On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, I had a preliminary intention to talk about cooperation with director Wang Jing at a gathering of filmmakers in Hong Kong, and I talked about the general direction at that time. ”

"This is the antecedent, as for the consequence, that is, Director Wang Jing called me a few days ago to ask me if what I said on the first day of the Lunar New Year was true. I said of course it's true, and he's welcome to come and sign the contract at any time. So, he came to Changsha yesterday, and then yesterday it took us half an hour to reach an agreement, no, we signed the contract. ”

He Fang's answer is very simple, and everyone will understand it at once.

"The next reporter, Zalang Entertainment." The moderator called the person who raised his hand.

"Director Wang Jing, why do you want to cooperate with Tuanhuo Culture? What kind of collaborative projects do you bring to the table? The reporter asked.

"The reason why we work with Tuanhuo Culture is very simple, because they are the most professional. That's right, they have almost the same institutional processes and supporting facilities as Hollywood, including the most advanced computer room in Asia, which I went to see yesterday, and there are several standard screening rooms just for the viewing room, and I see this kind of investment here in the world. ”

"Another point is that Director He Fang is a world-famous director, his films are loved by audiences around the world, and I am also a fan of him. So, with such a professional director, why not? ”

"Of course, the most important thing is that Hong Kong films need a way out and new changes, and Changsha Tuanhuo Culture can bring us this kind of way out and change, and the combination of various factors is the reason why I signed a contract with Tuanhuo Culture."

"As for what projects to bring, this time I brought a dozen or so scripts. However, this will first go to the evaluation system, and I hope that one or two of them will pass the evaluation, so that I can officially enter the work. Wang Jing nodded after speaking.

"Then Director He, have you read the script brought by Director Wang Jing? Do you think how many qualified crews brought by Director Wang Jing this time are qualified? The reporter asked.

"After watching it roughly, I personally think that you can start up immediately after a little fine-tuning, called "Chasing the Dragon", this script is very good, I believe this will be a very good movie." He Fang said.

"Huh? Do you fancy this? It seems reasonable, too. Wang Jing nodded.

"Of course, this is a good script, it has the times, brotherhood, and a strong story. I have the urge to become a director, but I don't have time, otherwise I would have to grab it with you. He Fang said with a smile.

"That's not good, I'm also very optimistic about this script." Wang Jing said with a smile.

"Hehe......" The reporters couldn't help laughing when they heard the two joking on stage.

……

"Big News: Tuanhuo Culture has just signed a ten-film contract with Wang Jing"

"Ten Films Help Wang Jing Enter the Mainland Market"

"Tuanhuo Culture has signed big directors one after another, will the footsteps stop? Who will be next? 》

"Tuanhuo Culture Strikes in an All-round Manner, Signs Big Directors, and Continuously Determines New Projects"

"At the press conference on the signing of the contract between Tuanfang Culture and Wang Jing, who wants to grab Wang Jing's new movie"

……

"Damn, what's the situation? Where's this ruthlessness? Is this hoarding good directors? Isn't everyone grabbing potential stars? Why is he only interested in directing? Are men more flavorful? ”

"Yes, Wang Jing is a good director, at least many times stronger than some domestic directors who have no commercial achievements. It is...... It is necessary to guard against the fact that the Hong Kong team has a straw hat to repay thousands of dollars. ”

"Ah, where is he finally going to exert his strength, don't you see his strategy? First the nest building, then the introduction of the phoenix. first build the Lake Film Industrial Film and Television City, and then use a "Pacific Rim" to prove the success of this film and television city. The next step is to introduce Feng, so that more excellent directors can produce more excellent works with the help of the industrialization foundation of Lake Film. He Fang is really doing things for the industry, so awesome. ”

"Upstairs, being blown by you like this, how do I feel that He Fang is not a director, but a party member?"

"Secretary of the Youth League Branch?"

"Why can't you be the president of the student council?"

"Fuck off, what about the director of the Women's Federation, what kind of society is the president."

"Haha, the director of the Women's Federation, I think many women agree with He Fang to be the director of the Women's Federation."

"If He Fang is the director of the Women's Federation, I will be the first to join the Women's Federation, and then assist He Fang in presiding over the work."

"Fuck off, you still have a chance then?"
