Chapter 245 "Painted Skin" Interests
The elders treat guests, and the place of the treats is not far from Yinding Bridge.

Fang Nan took a short rest before rushing to the Wanghai Tower, which was quiet amidst the noise.

Unexpectedly, in the private room of Renji Manor Hotel, there were already twelve or thirteen people cheering inside.

Fang Nan was taken aback.

Knowing that there was no good banquet, he bit the bullet and jumped over the beautiful waiter who was leading the way.

"Fang Dao, who has brought glory to the country, has arrived!"

Fang Nan didn't know the speaker, and after Mr. Han introduced him, he realized that it was Pang Hong, the vice president of Ningxia Film Studio.

After coming down, all the bosses with smiles on their faces and well-dressed one after another reported their families.

There are seven or eight cultural companies such as Beijing Star Film Federation, Xinlin Film, Salon Media, and Century Jiaying.

As for their identities, they were all this and that, and Fang Nan couldn't remember so many.

After shaking hands with a group of bosses, Fang Nan extended his hand to the female generals in the box.

He is very familiar with the three female generals, Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Gongzi, and Sun Li.

After chatting with the three of them with a smile, Fang Nan pretended to frown to memorize the names, and sat down on the single sofa.

"You have a good relationship with Mr. Xu. You should know him. Qian Yongqiang, the art director of Starlight Culture of Peking University, is from Xiangjiang. He has produced many film and television projects."

Mr. Han pointed at one of the middle-aged men who had just finished shaking hands with Fang Nan.

Fang Nan nodded to Qian Yongqiang: "I have admired your name for a long time!"

He didn't know Qian Yongqiang, but he knew Peking University Starlight.

Peking University Starlight is a media group established with the approval of the national financial department and the education department, with Peking University as a shareholder.

The group consists of Jingcheng Starlight United Media, Starlight United Investment, Shancheng Fortune Real Estate, Shancheng Starlight Investment and other companies.

The business covers media industry investment, film and television investment, production and distribution.

It is a very good unit.

But he can't get along with him. His movies never lack investors.

The messy characters in the box were strung together in a line because of Mr. Han, obviously this was just for him.

Fang Nan calmly took the cigarette that Mr. Han distributed himself, and smoked it without paying attention.

The bosses of this group of cultural companies got together and specially set up a situation for him.

He couldn't think of anything else to do except ask him to make a movie.

Looking at Zhou Xun, Zhao Yanzi, and Sun Li again, he actually already had [-]% of his thoughts in mind.

But this is also normal.

After all, he just won the award, and his first feature-length film after winning the award will definitely attract much attention.

As early as in Berlin, a French producer wanted to invite Fang Nan to join forces with two other European directors to make a film for next year's Cannes Film Festival.

But it was rejected by Fang Nan because he was preparing for his fifth novel.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to China, he was targeted by the domestic capital who was close to the water.

If you want to wait for a while, there may be too many domestic and foreign producers who want to invite him to make a film.

The atmosphere was a little silent, so Mr. Han had no choice but to speak up himself.

"It's such a thing."

Mr. Han rambled on for about 10 minutes, Fang Nan thought "Sure enough".

Except for the movie "Painted Skin", he can't remember other movies where the two big Huadans are the heroines.

What he didn't expect was that "Painted Skin", which was released in the 2000s and was hotly discussed, was actually the first project proposed by Qian Yongqiang.

"I"

Fang Nan was about to refuse before saying "I", when Pang Hong from Ningxia Studio suddenly interjected.

"Director Fang, we know that you have your own project, but please listen to our sincerity first!"

Fang Nan had no choice but to nod to signal Pang Hong to continue.

Leaning a little, the so-called sincerity came.

As long as Fang Nan is willing to hold the guide tube of "Painted Skin".

First of all, he will receive an after-tax remuneration of up to 1200 million.

Secondly, during the filming period of the crew, his food, clothing, housing and transportation were all contracted by the crew, and he didn't even need to buy a pair of underwear.

And follow the highest standards of the city where the shooting location is located.

It roughly means that even if there is only one 5-star hotel in the city where the filming location is located, there must be a room in the hotel for Fang Nan.

During the field shooting, Fang Nan was provided with a single-person medium-sized RV.

While eating and drinking has reached the highest level, there are two assistants.

A work assistant.

a living assistant.

In addition, Pang Hong also said that if Fang Nan didn't want to participate in the pre-production of "Painted Skin", that's fine.

The 1200 million salary and high-standard reception in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation only bought him a 2-3 month shooting schedule.

Fang Nan was numb.

He couldn't tell whether Pang Hong was asking him to film or take a vacation.

Many people in this circle are indeed extravagant.

But it's only 2007, and China's economy hasn't taken off yet.

He is not the group of Xiangjiang people who like to want this and that after going north.

Say.

A director who doesn't participate in the film preparation at all is letting his director's reputation collapse?
How stupid he is to do such a thing!

Fang Nan took a deep breath on his cigarette.

This matter is not easy to handle today, if you refuse, you will offend another large group of people in the Beijing circle besides Huayi.

And the behind-the-scenes relationship of this group of people is even more complicated than that of Huayi.

The reason for his offending was very simple, the offer was too good and the sincerity was too high for him to say anything else.

Accepting the invitation, my fifth feature may not be able to catch up with Cannes in May next year.

The most important thing is that Tang Tang Film and Television lacked one or two films he directed, and its performance for the whole year will definitely decline.

This is extremely detrimental to the development of the company.

As for getting Tangtang Film and Television to participate in the "Painted Skin" project, it is obviously impossible to just look at so many investors in front of you.

Looking at the dozen pairs of eyes staring at him, when Fang Nan wanted to speak, Pang Hong added something: "Shanghai Film Group is also the owner of "Painted Skin", and Zheng Zidan is the lead male in the film."

"I want to make a request. If you agree, I will accept your project. And I will also participate in the preliminary preparations, and I don't need you to promise a five-star hotel, food, clothing, housing and other conditions."

Pang Hong looked at several management representatives, and hurriedly said, "Director Fang, please tell me."

Fang Nan glanced at them lightly, and blurted out: "Allow me to use the shooting time of "Painted Skin" to do other projects."

In addition to Shanghai Film, the investors of "Painted Skin" include China Film, Shanghai Film, Ningying, Peking University Culture and other excellent production companies.

With so many bosses blocking him, Fang Nan couldn't decide whether to accept "Painted Skin".

But he won't let anyone dictate.

The "Painted Skin" project can be accepted, and the development of Tangtang Film and Television does not allow anyone to delay.

So he wanted to film "Painted Skin" while filming a commercial film for the company.

And the fifth work "Parasite" he prepared can only wait for a year, becoming the sixth work in his directorial career.

After all, "Parasite" is a work that is rushing to hit Cannes and Oscars, and it needs more energy and careful polishing.

As soon as Fang Nan opened the conditions, Pang Hong and the others looked at each other.

To be honest, Fang Nan's conditions were quite harsh.

A crew of hundreds of people will spend a lot of money in a day.

They would rather arrange a five-star hotel for Fang Nan, and find a few people to take care of him, so that he would spend all his time filming except for eating and drinking.

I also don't want him to go to another film crew after eight hours of work every day.

Pang Hong and the others looked puzzled, no one expected Fang Nan to propose such a condition.

The atmosphere froze again, and President Han came out to break the deadlock again: "Let's serve the food, let's chat while eating."

"I'm going to the bathroom."

After Pang Hong finished speaking, he ignored the waiter's reminder that there was a special toilet in the box, and went straight outside, followed by a series of people.

Fang Nan understood, grinned at Mr. Han and Zhou Xun and said with a smile, "Let's eat by ourselves, don't care about them, they're too hungry."

Seeing that Fang Nan cut the lion's head in two and threw a big piece into the bowl, Mr. Han asked with a smile, "Aren't you used to the food in Berlin?"

"It's okay, people like us eat boxed meals for a few months a year, and we have already become iron stomachs, so there is nothing we are not used to."

Zhao Yanzi said, "How is your stomach? Anyway, I have a problem, and I feel uncomfortable when I catch a cold."

Fang Nan replied: "There are big problems, but there are small problems."

Several people ate and drank for about 10 minutes, and Pang Hong and the others came back.

Without much hesitation, he agreed to Fang Nan's conditions.

"Painted Skin" directed by the director of the Golden Bear Award, this gimmick is too big, they are obviously reluctant to give up.

The intended cooperation was reached, and Pang Hong raised his glass to Fang Nan and said, "Director Fang, I wish us a happy cooperation and next year's "Painted Skin" will be a big hit!"

Fang Nan echoed with a smile, and moved his chopsticks again.

The topic on the table also temporarily changed from "Painted Skin" to the 07-minute blackness of the 3 Spring Festival Gala, and Fang Nan's trip to Berlin.

"As far as I know, Benshan's skit "Planning" was timed out by 2 minutes. When the time was announced at midnight, several hosts wanted to show personal heroism to save the scene, but they rushed to talk and messed up the scene. I didn't know what to say! "

A middle-aged man on the table finished speaking angrily, and looked at Mr. Han: "Old Han, you know a lot, don't you?"

"I'm not Jin Yue, how do I know?"

Denying that he knew the inside story, Mr. Han suddenly looked at Fang Nan: "Fang Nan, have you ever thought about bidding to be the director of next year's Spring Festival Gala?"

Fang Nan shook his head violently: "Let's put it down, it's a thankless thing, how is the reputation and ratings this year? Have you been scolded again?"

Planning the chief director's annual Spring Festival Gala is actually a thankless task.

Talking about word of mouth, almost every year someone scolds.

Talk about generating income.

Fang Nan vaguely remembered that Jin Yue, the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala, did not know which session he found a different way. He chose to give up the ratings and increase the Spring Festival Gala advertisements to generate income for CCTV.

He also lost his bid for the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala forever.

So he's really not interested in it.

"The audience rating is 30%, a record low, what a fucking thing!"

Fang Nanchong said the answer, and smiled at the fat boss who scolded the last sentence without hesitation.

Does this guy not know Lao Bi, or does he not know the sinister heart, so he dare not say anything?

After chatting about the Spring Festival Gala and the trip to Berlin, the bosses invited Fang Nan to play in someone's room.

Fang Nan immediately refused, and finally understood why the three female generals on the table were no longer popular. It turned out that the group of bosses wanted to find more beautiful beauties.

Seven or eight people swarmed away, including Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Xun, and Sun Li, and Chief Han Fang Nan got into his car.

"I'll take a taxi back by myself." After the car started slowly, Fang Nan said hurriedly.

"You still have another game, I'll send you there, but there are all old friends there, so don't accommodate."

Fang Nan nodded: "How much did China Film Group invest in the "Painted Skin" project?"

"China Film Group didn't cast, Pang Hong came to me and asked me to set up the line, and I couldn't push it away."

Fang Nan was depressed: "Then this is not cheating me?"

Mr. Han glanced at Fang Nan: "Fang Nan, you're quite a shrewd person, don't you understand why eating alone is bad?"

"Everyone needs friends. If you don't have friends, how can you get that piece of land in Pujiang?"

"Besides, you're not at a disadvantage. The salary of 1200 million yuan is the first in China. Counting Xiangjiang, there are not many directors who can get this figure."

Fang Nan said with a sad face, "It's not like you don't know that I like to do whatever I want."

"Who can do whatever they want, even I can't do it. In what year will my office desk not be damaged by a bunch of old seniors, and I can challenge them as I like?"

"You must always remember that you can't do what you want in life. Just got the marriage certificate here, and got divorced a few minutes later. How can such a person do what he wants?"

In the first half of Mr. Han's sentence, Fang Nan mumbled like an honest child, "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" like an honest child.

As soon as the second half came out, he couldn't help listening to it.

Turning to look at Boss Han again, he has already turned his face to look out of the window.

But no matter how he tried to hide his expression, Fang Nan knew in his heart that what he did was in the eyes of some leaders.

"I understand." Fang Nan took out a cigarette and handed it to Boss Han.

President Han took the cigarette and asked Fang Nan to light it again, then patted Fang Nan's knee and said, "Now that you understand, you should take the matter of the chief director of the 08 Spring Festival Gala to heart. It’s about exercising your ability to organize large parties.”

After finishing speaking, Mr. Han said earnestly: "You are still very young, and you have a long way to go in the future. You need to learn more in all aspects."

Mr. Han's pointed words confused Fang Nan.

At first, he thought that the leader wanted to train him on the road of exporting culture to foreign countries.

After all, he has won awards abroad and is a top commercial film director in China, and he is still so young.

In the future, we may have to bear part of the responsibility for cultural output or something.

So be upright.

But now we are talking about large-scale competitions.

The 08 Olympic Games were all contracted by Lao Mouzi. A group of leaders would not have thought of the Winter Olympics in more than 10 years and planned to let him be Lao Mouzi's successor.

The Riddler is the most annoying!
While Fang Nan muttered, the car stopped slowly.

The two chatted as they walked to the private room. Mr. Han greeted Jiangzhou, Mao Jianguo, and Yu Dong with his group and left.

"Hey, Fang, I think your proposal is very good, we will make a feature film like "Youth in Youth"."

As soon as Mr. Han left, Mao Jianguo hugged Fang Nan who was still thinking about it.

Fang Nan reacted and scolded: "You are sick, what advice do I have for you?"

"Forgot? You were filming "Youth in Youth" in the mountain city, when I went to visit the set." Mao Jianguo reminded dissatisfied.

"Now that I think about it, are you unwilling to invest in feature films?"

"Nonono, you Chinese people have a good saying, one moment and another moment."

"You're willing to vote now, but I'm not available." Putting aside Mao Jianguo's snobbish eyes, Fang Nan turned to Jiangzhou, Yu Dong and the others.

At the last dinner, Fang Nan was half-coerced to accept "Painted Skin".

During this dinner, his identity was changed, and he took the initiative to threaten and urge Jiangzhou to arrange the release of "Youth in Youth".

Jiangzhou was also unambiguous: "If you are in a hurry, Xiangjiang and Taiwan will be released in ten days. The March schedule is very empty. But I suggest that you better cooperate with China Film and China Film to launch simultaneous releases in Asia."

Fang Nan looked horrified: "Damn it, there are no secrets in this circle? How do you know that the copyrights of South Korea and Japan are in the hands of Huaying? The deal we made with Huaying in Europe."

Yu Dong poured wine for Fang Nan, and said with a smile, "You can't hide things that involve interests, and you also underestimate your reputation in our circle."

　Big guys, there are so many today, diarrhea, diarrhea is not enough
