Chapter 1,234 Internal Debate

Some people live for fame, some live for money, and some live for themselves. Jiang Wen is the kind of person who lives for himself. He is unique and has no room for relaxation. He makes or acts in movies according to his own ideas. When he acted in his own movies, he was even able to teach the director a lesson as his third grandson, and later he became the actual director.

If Jiang Wen made his own movie, he would have to ask investors to invest more time and time again, only to lose everything. But his later film Let the Bullets Fly also made many people make a lot of money.

Anyway, Jiang Wen is the kind of person who lives in his own world, the kind of genius who enjoys himself very much.

And if Jiang Wen is here, there is basically no need to worry about being left alone. Especially this time, Han Shanping is unwilling to talk to Jiang Wen. At this moment, Brother Chen Kai and Zhang Yimou walked in one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene was... It was a slight relief. After all, if Jiang Wen said that no one broke the situation, then he might be saying what kind of news would break out.

Zhang Yimou glanced at everyone, but he was not surprised at Ye Ming's arrival. On the contrary, Brother Chen Kai felt a little unconvinced after seeing Ye Ming. If we talk about the grievances between him and Ye Ming, this At that time, Brother Chen Kai already said that he considered himself to be very well-educated. At this time, Brother Chen Kai was not generally dissatisfied with Ye Ming. Seeing that Ye Ming didn't say anything and had a gloomy look on his face, it was already because he was on the General Administration's side.

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Ye Ming, I didn't expect that you came later than I thought. In fact, I think you were qualified to come here last year. Congratulations to you. In the future, some of China's You will know the movie trends earlier than the average person."

For example, what types of movies does the country support? This information is impossible for ordinary people to know. But if you have such a qualification, then everyone can communicate with each other.

At this point, at this time, Ye Ming can achieve the current results, which is already quite good. Ye Ming is not very satisfied. This situation actually allows Ye Ming to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Is this one of Ye Ming's pursuits?

Ye Ming nodded and said: "This is also a characteristic of our Chinese entertainment industry. If you come here to play movies, you must abide by the rules, otherwise you will be taken down directly. It does not mean that there is no such possibility. .Director Zhang, how are you preparing for your movie?

Didn’t it say that Hero could be released this year? Why was it changed to next year? "Actually, this is something that Ye Ming has always found difficult to understand. After all, on such an issue, some issues, even for the person involved, Zhang Yimou, are very depressing.

In fact, if the filming of the movie is completed and it can be released one day earlier, it will be beneficial to everyone. But if it is said that the filming progress is not good enough, then it is very normal that it is not released now due to such a problem.

Zhang Yimou is a little embarrassed. Hero was born with countless auras. Whether it is from the cast or financial support, Hero is the top in the country. But until now, the movie Hero is so... Slowly and slowly, it was not released, which I have to say is a bit embarrassing.

Zhang Yimou could only smile and said: "This matter is actually a little hard to say. There must be some accidents in the movie. The final result is not completed yet, but it is almost done, which means that the budget has been partially exceeded. I I have a headache."

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and actually said with some confusion: "Hero is a blockbuster film with billions of investment. At a time like this, you have no money to say a sentence. Director Zhang, is it interesting for you to cry about poverty at this time? If you say If you say we are short of money, then those of us who make movies are basically poor people. Even if we claim to invest hundreds of millions, this and water, there is always 80 million, otherwise it is impossible to have such a big publicity, right? .”

At this time, Jiang Wen interjected: "As for this matter, 50 million yuan for a hero is the highest salary, and Li Lianjie's salary is the highest. How much can he earn from his output? This is how the entertainment industry is, with only 10 yuan, it is enough." I dare say it’s five hundred. For this matter, it’s okay to talk nonsense elsewhere. There is no need for Director Zhang to talk so mysteriously here.”

At this time, Jiang Wen also had an attitude that no one knew about this kind of thing. Anyway, he showed a very disdainful expression.

Zhang Yimou seemed to have nothing to hide, but said frankly: "After all, this is a need, a need for publicity. Fifty million is actually a lot. If I can't make money at this time, then I I have the heart to jump off a building.

Jiang Wen, don't gloat about others' misfortunes. This is a huge pressure. If it were you, would you be able to hold on? Especially saying that it was originally supposed to be released this year, but now it turns out that it won’t be released until next year. This is bullying. "

At this time, Jiang Wen didn't have any argument, because Zhang Yimou had already frankly admitted his investment in the movie Hero. What is the so-called investment of hundreds of millions? It was only 50 million for a problem like this. The admission was so heartfelt that Jiang Wen couldn't even say some words of reply that came to his mind.

Anyway, everyone knew it very well at this time. Anyway, the scene was just a gathering of the General Administration. There were no reporters or anything like that. Even if they admitted it, what if they admitted it? Anyway, everyone who knew it already knew it, and those who didn’t knew it already knew it. You won't know either.

So now I admit that it is actually quite useful. Later, Jiang Wen had no choice but to say: "Director Zhang, you are great, you are really great. In this regard, I am not as good as you. Otherwise, when the devil comes, the screening may not be really banned. Even if it is It’s banned from being released, but I won’t let it end up like this.”

Jiang Wen is a genius. Geniuses always think that their ideas are right. But at a time like this, Jiang Wen actually admitted it. It can be seen that Zhang Yimou was indeed suffering a lot at a time like this. It's a lot of pressure, and it's such a pressure, and it will continue.

At this moment, Han Shanping knocked on the table and said, "Don't be so noisy. How unbecoming is this? Tian Zhuang and other top-notch fifth-generation directors rushed over. Everyone is familiar with the road. Anyway, we are very good at it. It’s easy to find something to do on your own.

And there are actually unspoken rules at this time, that is to say, the position of the previous meeting with the leaders is the focus of this time. Only Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others have such a position. Therefore, it would definitely be a violation of the rules if a top-notch director gets involved.

At this moment, it was surprising to see Ye Ming in the same position, but if you think about it, some of Ye Ming's achievements have nothing to say to others at this time. He is qualified enough to sit there.

At this moment, after Han Shanping saw this situation, he said seriously: "Okay, we have reached thirteen today, which is not bad. Now for the meeting, everyone hides what they have, and if we change what we have, we will encourage others. We still have a big heart.”

It is really difficult to say clearly how many people believe this. Therefore, on such a question, Ye Ming does not really believe these words.

At this moment, Brother Chen Kai immediately said: "Mr. Han, as for this matter, I was actually applying for project approval from the beginning. I plan to make a big production this time, with an investment of 80 million, and most of the investment has already been made. I’ve received my intention. I’ll make some filings here first.”

Brother Chen Kai is a proud man. Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin. The failure of this movie is actually because the movie was too rubbish. As for Wuji, he thought it was because his luck was not good enough, but he lost to Luo Tian in the end. We can talk about this seriously. It was not his fault anyway.

At this time, Brother Chen Kai also made up his mind to make a truly big production. At this moment, Han Shanping nodded and said: "Now we are making the movie Hero, so we will ensure that this movie will be successful. Is there really no problem with the funding of your movie? This is not a small investment. ."

Brother Chen Kai has failed twice in making movies, but in the end there are still people who are stupid enough to have the courage to invest in Brother Chen Kai. Isn't this a loss of money? But in fact, this is indeed a skill. Regardless of the box office performance of Brother Chen Kai's movies, there are still people willing to invest money in him at this time. This is what makes Han Shanping very strange.

Brother Chen Kai immediately said: "I have always had a good relationship with several businessmen in Shanghai who I know, and they are relatively supportive of our film business. This time, the main sponsors are mostly from there."

Han Shanping nodded and said: "It is indeed good to have people like this. You can send the notebook first. We will discuss it later and see how to deal with this matter. A hero can This is a pretty good question to mobilize everyone’s enthusiasm. If other people have any ideas, please talk about it and speak freely."

This is the second time that Han Shanping has spoken freely, but in this case, everyone just wants to listen, and no one will take it seriously. Even Ye Ming, who came here for the first time, still feels more at ease.

Feng Xiaogang has always been a spectator, but finally said: "Let me say a few words about my movies. I started my career by making New Year movies, but after this time, I plan to make some serious movies. If anyone is willing to make comedies, If so, with so much hard work, especially Ye Ming, you can bring some miracles to everyone. Therefore, in such a matter, you and your brilliant film and television are very suitable for performing comedy.

For example, even though "Running Brothers" is a variety show, if this variety show is a series, then "Running Brothers" can definitely be made into a movie about something like this. By the way, Ye Zi, if you are determined to do it well. "

He has a good relationship with Ye Ming, so Feng Xiaogang also pointed out the key points on such an issue. At such a time, there is a reason why Ye Ming is sitting here. The momentum, this makes many people Everyone was shocked.

Ye Ming did not expect that it would involve him, but waved his hand and said: "You are being polite, variety shows are actually self-contained. In this regard, it is not easy to transfer. Let's talk about it later.

If you are saying that you are not confident enough, then this is not a good result. Wait and see, anyway, our company will publish some works. I worry too much about what they will be like. After the arrangements are made, there is nothing else worth investing in.

Of course, the big movie of Running Brothers will also be produced as soon as possible. "

Originally Jiang Wen didn't say anything, but when he heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He immediately said: "Ye Ming, you kid are not joking with me. Now you still want to run, Brother Hu Youda Movie, At this point, do you have enough time for production?

Making a movie is not what you would call playing house. "This problem is indeed difficult to deal with. It has been a long time since anyone made such big claims. Let's run, brother, to make a big movie. In fact, Jiang Wen has nothing to say, and he can't say anything. Now, if you want to complete the production in such a short time, it is not an easy task.

Therefore, regarding such a question, Ye Ming himself was a little unsure about what kind of person this person was.

Now Ye Ming is willing to attend this gathering, actually because he wants to understand how the circle of top directors in China operates.

How are the general directions of these movies determined every year? This is actually a good opportunity to learn about Chinese movies, and Chinese movies have slowly begun to compete with each other and are racing all the way.

Impetuousness is a state that Chinese films will have for a long time to come. It is a necessary stage of development. When the Chinese film market matures, this matter will become relatively rare.

Although Jiang Wen's words don't sound very nice, if you think about it carefully, it's almost the same truth. Ye Ming was naturally very attentive and worked very hard to adapt to the rhythm of the scene.

In fact, Ye Ming's current performance can be considered a pretty good start. (To be continued)
