I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 146 Wang Zhongjun, the golden mean
"Wan Dao!"

"Hello, Director Wan."

"Mr. Wang, Miss Li."

Wan Qingshan responded to the call, took off his mask and hat and sat down.

At the signal from Wang Zhonglei's eyes, Li Bailian, who had just sat down, stood up and leaned slightly towards Wanqingshan to reveal some beauty, "Director Wan, Mr. Wang, you guys talk first, I will go outside to urge the waiter to serve the food."

After Li Bailian went out, Wang Zhongjun picked up the teapot and poured tea for Wanqingshan. He smiled and said, "Director Wan, although I have been friends with you for a long time, this is the first time we have met!"

"Mr. Wang, thank you!"

Wan Qingshan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said with a fake smile, "Mr. Wang is in charge of a company as big as Huayi, so he must be busy with things.

As for me, I am a hard worker, either making movies or on the way to make movies. As a result, we couldn’t get together and never met each other. "

"Haha, Director Wan, with your current status, there is no burden if you want to stop. Unlike me, as soon as I stop, the people in the company will have nothing to eat. It's just that Director Wan, you love movies, so you will always be busy. Non-stop.”

Wan Qingshan smiled coquettishly, and then got straight to the point.

"Mr. Wang, why did you ask me to meet you?"

The smile on Wang Zhongjun's face quickly disappeared, and after sighing, he showed a guilty expression.

"Director Wan, I asked you to meet for no other reason than to apologize to you.

When "Heart" was banned, although it was not Huayi's fault, Huayi knew about it beforehand.

I didn't try to dissuade him, and I was also responsible for this.Director Wan, I have always wanted to find a chance to apologize to you, but we never get it, so we keep putting it off.

I couldn't bear the guilt in my heart before, so last month I asked Xu Li to send a message and wanted to meet you.

Director Wan, what happened back then was because Huayi couldn't help you.This is a little bit of my thoughts, please accept it. "

Wan Qingshan glanced at the check on the table that Wang Zhongjun pushed over - 5 million.

Immediately, Wan Qingshan withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup, turned it slightly, and began to think in his heart.

Wang Zhongjun's words were nice, but Wan Qingshan knew that without Tang's help platform, Wang Zhongjun would not have been able to apologize to him!

As for what Wang Zhongjun said about "Heart", it was not his fault, and Wan Qingshan was not sure whether he was telling the truth.

After Wan Qingshan thought about the gains and losses of accepting the 500 million yuan, he put down the teacup and asked,
"Mr. Wang, you just said that "Heart" was banned. Huayi knew about it beforehand. So, Mr. Wang, can you tell me who this person is?"

Wang Zhongjun hesitated for a moment, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea!By the time he put down the tea cup, he had already made up his mind.

"Director Wan, the banning of "Heart" is the result of Ye Daying. He can influence CCTV with his personal connections.

In fact, Director Wan, if you calm down and think about it, you will know that it could not have been done by me, Huayi.

Although Huayi has many friends in the industry, he doesn't have the connections or the guts to let CCTV covertly criticize Chairman of China Film and Television Korea through reports. "

Wan Qingshan suddenly frowned!

Wan Qingshan believed what Wang Zhongjun said later, but only a little. Even Zhang Weiping dared to call Han Sanping a mountain eagle in front of the media. With Wang Zhongjun's connections and connections, it was impossible for him to be afraid of Han Sanping.

But Wang Zhongjun said that the person who did it was-Ye Daying!Wan Qingshan has doubted many people before, but he has never doubted Ye Daying!
Since "Heart" was banned, Wan Qingshan went out of his way to get to know the Beijing circle. He knew that Ye Daying had the toughest background among the people in the Beijing circle. The few movies he had made in the past had good box office results. Mei Ting He was the one who was popular at that time.

In the past, Ye Daying had a strong say in Beijing circles.

Wang Shuo was banned and left for the United States. After returning a year later, few of his works were published, and his temperament became low-key and he no longer stood out.The center of the Beijing circle gradually shifted to Ye Daying, who had several successful movies at that time.

But since the past few years, he has rarely filmed movies and has become very low-key. His influence and voice in the Beijing circle have rapidly decreased.

Therefore, Wang Zhongjun said that it was Ye Daying who moved his hand, which made Wan Qingshan very confused.

Ye Daying was almost living a retired life, so how could he suddenly take action against him?

If it was Ye Jing who had a good relationship with Feng Xiaogang, or someone else who was worried about his status in the Beijing circle, Wan Qingshan could still accept it, but Ye Daying...

Wan Qingshan thought for a while, but without any clue, he asked directly, "Mr. Wang, do you know why Ye Daying attacked me? If it were anyone else, I wouldn't ask why, but Ye Daying, , I really can’t figure it out.”

Wang Zhongjun hesitated for a moment, then he glanced at the door and whispered, "Director Wan, for this reason, I'm not afraid to reveal everything to you.

The reason why Ye Daying attacked you was, on the one hand, because of the push and instigation of those people in the Beijing circle.

On the other hand, there were several older generation filmmakers who asked him for help.With the two-faced people combined, he couldn't shirk it before taking action. "

Wan Qingshan’s complexion suddenly changed!
Wang Zhongjun's words suddenly reminded Wan Qingshan that after he won the Golden Lion Award for "Heart", he switched to the commercial film "The True Meaning of Love", and Nortel's attitude towards him changed completely.

Now, Wan Qingshan understood why Nortel's attitude towards him suddenly changed so drastically!

At that time, Chen Yanfeng said yes. You didn't share any profits with Nortel, so they didn't invite "The True Meaning of Love" to come to the preview.

Afterwards, Wan Qingshan still felt strange. With Nortel's reputation, they should not lack this benefit!

Now Wan Qingshan finally understands, and it’s not because there is no profit.But the Golden Lion Award suddenly raised his status so high that it was almost higher than these deputy deans and professors.

When people of the older generation see young talents, most of them will praise them.

But if this young talent rises too fast, he will soon surpass them.The older generation was not complimentary but jealous, so jealous that they wanted to destroy this young talent.

Even the deputy deans and professors at his alma mater, Nortel, were so jealous that they didn't want to see him and wouldn't invite him to preview his films at Nortel, let alone other older generation filmmakers.

After Wan Qingshan figured it out, he smiled mockingly, "It seems that being too famous is not a good thing. A gun will kill the first bird. No wonder it is often said that a person must know the golden mean!"

Wang Zhongjun couldn't take Wan Qingshan's words to himself, so he smiled and changed the subject.

"Director Wan, I am a businessman. I only want to make money, and I have never thought about making enemies.

This time, we have made our words clear. I hope that Director Wan, you will be merciful in the future and stop using movies to compete with Director Feng's movies.

This is good for you and me.Director Wan, do you think so? "

Wan Qingshan, who had just calmed down his emotions, was trembling and his eyes narrowed slightly!
"The True Meaning of Love" was released not only very close to "A World Without Thieves", but also very close to "Kung Fu".

Even if it's because of the conflict between me and Beijing Circle, Wang Zhongjun should be just suspicious.

But his tone just now was so sure!How did he know that I would use movies to compete with Feng Xiaogang in the future?
Knowing that the original release date for "The True Meaning of Love" was set for "A World Without Thieves" and it was only Han Sanping, he would definitely not tell anyone.

So how did Wang Zhongjun know? '

After Wan Qingshan's thoughts whirled, he said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, you started a company to make money, and I also make movies to make money. Of course I won't do anything to compete with movies, especially with Director Feng's movies.

Regardless of winning or losing, part of the box office of my movie will definitely be diverted from Director Feng's movie. I will not do such a stupid thing. "

Then Wan Qingshan's expression changed and he said very apologetically, "Mr. Wang, I have to say sorry to you.

"The True Meaning of Love" and "A World Without Thieves" were released too close together, which affected the box office of "A World Without Thieves". "

Then, Wan Qingshan took a sip of tea and changed the topic, "But Mr. Wang, I never thought about using "The True Meaning of Love" and "A World Without Thieves" to grab the box office.

The release date of "The True Meaning of Love" was not decided by me but by Dong Han.

Director Han saw that I was a bit young and energetic at the time, so he specially arranged for "The True Meaning of Love" to be released during that time period.

Director Han originally wanted to let me know through Directors Feng and Zhou that there are people out there and not to be complacent because of my own achievements.

I just didn't expect, oh, I didn't expect that "The True Meaning of Love" would be so popular among young people that it would affect the box office of "A World Without Thieves".

Mr. Wang, I’m so sorry!

Afterwards, Director Han also regretted it and told me more than once that "The True Meaning of Love" should not be scheduled to be released during that time period, which not only affected the box office of "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu", but also made "Love" "The True Meaning" was discounted. "

Wang Zhongjun's face twitched slightly!
He didn't believe Wan Qingshan's words at all. Han Sanping would not make a useful movie to let Wan Qingshan know that there was someone else.

"It's still too popular among young people." If you hadn't promoted it online and stirred up the emotions of netizens, "A World Without Thieves" would never have had to buy a box office to reach over [-] million!

Wang Zhongjun suppressed the nausea in his heart and said with a smile, "Director Wan, I don't blame you for this, I don't blame you.

Director Wan, these things are in the past, so we don’t need to talk about them anymore.

In the future, in the future, we can cooperate more and make money together.

Wan directs your movie, plus Huayi's promotion and artists, we are a powerful combination. "

Wang Zhongjun's attack on the snake made Wan Qingshan's eyelids twitch.

"Haha, if there is a chance, I will definitely cooperate with you, Mr. Wang, if I have the chance."

"There must be a chance, Director Wan, look at this..." Wang Zhongjun said, pushing the check on the table towards Wan Qingshan.

Wan Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then reached out to put away the check on the table.

When Wang Zhongjun saw this, the smile on his face instantly became much more natural.

Immediately, he stood up and said, "Li Bailian went to ask the waiter to serve the food. Why hasn't he come back for so long? Director Wan, please sit down for a while while I go out and take a look."

Watching Wang Zhongjun walk out of the box, Wan Qingshan frowned and murmured in his heart, "How did he know?" Wan Qingshan was still curious about how Wang Zhongjun knew that he would always use movies to compete with Feng Xiaogang.

Before Wan Qingshan could think about it for a long time, Wang Zhongjun and Li Bailian came back.

"Director Wan, I'm sorry, I just went to the bathroom." Li Bailian casually found an excuse to explain.

"Haha, Miss Li, you don't need to apologize to me. Mr. Wang was worried that something would happen to you, so he went out to look for you."

Li Bailian smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Wang, you are worried about me, Mr. Wang."

After a while, the waiter brought the dishes.Then, when Wang Zhongjun talked about the current situation of the mainland's film and television industry, Wan Qingshan echoed, and Li Bailian praised Wan Qingshan from time to time, and the three of them finished their meal.

"Director Wan, walk slowly!"

"Mr. Wang, Miss Li, goodbye!"

After watching Wan Qingshan get into the car and leave, the smiles on Wang Zhongjun and Li Bailian's faces gradually disappeared.

At this time, Li Bailian said with a slightly serious face, "Mr. Wang, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Li Bailian turned her face away, but Wang Zhongjun was not angry at all, "There is nothing else, you can go back!"

Li Bailian immediately stepped on her high heels and walked towards the black nanny car not far away.

As soon as Li Bailian got into the car, Li Xue, who looked somewhat similar to Li Bailian, immediately picked up a coat from the car and covered the spring color on Li Bailian's chest.

Then, she patted the driver's seat in front of her and motioned to the driver to get out of the car first.

In the nanny's car, after the driver got out of the car, Li Xue stretched out her hand to hold Li Bailian's hand tightly, and said happily, "Sister, fortunately Wan Qingshan is not a lustful ghost!"

"If Wanqingshan is a lecherous person, Wang Zhongjun will not let me come, but will send a little girl." Li Bailian, who turned pale, replied.

Li Xue didn't know how to answer this. If he agreed with this, wouldn't it mean that Li Bailian was old?
Refutation - I can't refute it, this is a fact. If you really want to seduce Wan Qingshan with beauty, then you can't use Li Bailian.

After Li Bailian finished speaking, she stopped talking, causing silence in the car.

After waiting for a while, Li Xue advised with a worried look, "Sister, please stop contacting Chengtian Entertainment privately. This time Wang Zhongjun is just scaring you and warning you.

But if you still have private contact with Chengtian, Wang Zhongjun will be serious next time. "

Li Bailian immediately frowned, opened her lips, and finally said nothing.

After Fan Bayi and Wan Qingshan started a company together, ambitious artists in the industry were ready to take action.

Li Bailian was the second person to start a company after Fan Bayi. In late January, she peacefully terminated her contract with Huayi, and then cooperated with Huayi to open a studio.

Then, some time ago, Chengtian Entertainment suddenly contacted her privately.

Chengtian Entertainment threw a resource to her, hoping that she would dissolve the studio she opened with Huayi and turn around to open a studio with Chengtian Entertainment.

This resource offered by Chengtian Entertainment is very attractive to Li Bailian.

Because this resource has a high chance of making her go global like Zhang Ziyi who starred in "Hero".

She was very moved, but still a little sensible. She didn't agree immediately, but just said she would think about it.

But somehow, Wang Zhongjun found out about Li Bailian's relationship with Chengtian Entertainment.

Then today happened - Wang Zhongjun forced Li Bailian to come to see Wanqingshan, and said that if Wanqingshan was not satisfied with the 500 million, then let...

Seeing that Li Bailian was silent, Li Xue continued to persuade, "Sister, don't think so much now, just run the studio well.

The resources provided by Chengtian are very attractive, but I also heard that Chengtian does not have the right to decide the role. Chengtian only has the right to recommend people.

Even if you are recommended, you may not be selected.Sister, it’s not worth it for you to become enemies with Huayi for an uncertain resource! "

Li Bailian was silent for a moment, then she sighed and said, "You are right, you cannot give everything for an uncertain resource.

Stop it, otherwise if this continues, Wang Zhongjun will not only be serious, but will also cut off my resources. "

"Sister, after I get back, I will tell Chengtian not to contact her in private again." Li Xue said with a relaxed smile.

"Ok!"

"Sister, if there is nothing else, I will ask the driver to come back and then go home."

Seeing Li Bailian nodded, Li Xue opened the door and got out of the car, calling the driver who was squatting on the roadside smoking to come back.

,,,,
"Mr. Wang, thank you. Without your advice, Mr. Wang, I don't know how much I would have lost."

In a luxury car, Wang Zhongjun was talking to someone on his mobile phone with a smile.

The voice of Wang Changtian came from the mobile phone, "Mr. Wang, it's too polite to say thank you. You and I are both making a living in the film and television industry. Maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

Besides, if Director Wan uses movies to compete with Director Feng, not only will you lose a lot, Mr. Wang, but I will also lose a lot. Of course I don’t want to see this situation. "

Some time ago, before Zhang Zhao told Wang Changtian that he would resign in half a year, he told Wang Changtian that Wan Qingshan's new movie would probably be released in September.

Zhang Zhao suddenly resigned, although he did not say where he planned to go after leaving.

But when Wang Changtian checked, he found that Wan Qingshan had gone to Enlight Pictures to meet Zhang Zhao for several days in a row. He knew that Zhang Zhao would go to Wan Qingshan after leaving his job.

Wan Qingshan cooperated with Enlight Pictures, and even joined forces with him to buy Golden Harvest. Over there, he poached the president of Enlight Pictures, which made Wang Changtian so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Wang Changtian was very angry, but Enlight Pictures still had to rely on Wan Qingshan's movies to develop, and the Jiahe Cinema line had not yet been lost to Wan Qingshan, so he could only hold back his anger.

But Wang Changtian was unwilling to do nothing, and then he thought - Zhang Zhao said that Wan Qingshan's new movie will probably be released in September.

September!
There have long been rumors in the industry that Feng Xiaogang's "The Night Banquet" will be released in September according to the normal schedule.

"The True Meaning of Love" and "A World Without Thieves" were released only one week apart, and now, "A Love Story" will be released in the same month as "The Banquet"!

Wang Changtian discovered this and immediately thought of Wan Qingshan's "Heart" being banned. Wang Changtian guessed that Wan Qingshan was taking revenge on the Beijing circle.

Wan Qingshan will continue to use movies to compete with Feng Xiaogang. He will not stop until Wan Qingshan steps on Feng Xiaogang, the flag in the Beijing circle!

When lamenting that Wanqing Mountain is like a poisonous snake, Wang Changtian was also very anxious!
Enlight Pictures accounted for 40% of "A Love Story".In the ring, regardless of winning or losing, "Awkward Love" will suffer a discount at the box office, and Enlight Pictures will make a lot less money.

Coupled with Zhang Zhao's resignation, Wang Changtian was trying to find something for Wan Qingshan, so on the last day of last year, he contacted Wang Zhongjun.

"What Mr. Wang said is that neither you nor I want to see this kind of situation." Wang Zhongjun replied with a smile.

In the office of Enlight Media, Wang Changtian was about to hang up the phone with a polite word. Suddenly, he thought of something, and he almost changed his words.

"Mr. Wang, I just said that our two companies can cooperate if there is an opportunity. Now, I happen to have a project here. I wonder if you, Mr. Wang, are interested in working together?"

Wang Zhongjun raised his eyebrows, feeling a little curious.

Enlight Media's main business is TV program production, which is completely incompatible with Huayi's business.

As for Enlight Pictures, it is very well-known in the industry, but it was just a matter of bad luck. It was through cooperation with Wan Qingshan that it became famous. In terms of publicity and distribution capabilities, Huayi is much better than the current Enlight Pictures.

In the film industry, Huayi has everything it has.Huayi is not interested in TV program production.

Then why does Wang Changtian dare to talk about cooperation?It was impossible for him to use Wan Qingshan's movie to cooperate with him. Wang Changtian himself was reluctant to let go, not to mention whether Wan Qingshan would agree or not.

"Mr. Wang, tell me, what kind of project is it?"

"Haha, of course what I'm talking to Mr. Wang is about a movie project. Media Asia Film Company invited Enlight Pictures to jointly produce a movie. The directors are Hong Kong's Lau Wai-keung and Mak Siu-fai, and the starring roles are Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Kim Sung-wu.

I wonder if Mr. Wang are interested in investing together. If you are interested, I can talk to Media Asia and Huayi. "Wang Changtian said with a slightly proud voice.

Surprise appeared on Wang Zhongjun's face. He didn't expect that Guangguang would actually have a relationship with Hong Kong Island.

Then Wang Zhongjun started thinking in his mind.

The film project is directed by the director of "Infernal Affairs" and the actors are also big-name stars. It is very attractive, but,,,,,,
Wang Zhongjun frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Mr. Wang, I would like to ask if the producer of the movie is from Enlight Media or from Hong Kong Island.

Mr. Wang, don’t blame me for being paranoid. It’s just that Hong Kong filmmakers have a precedent for investing money. I don’t want the money I invested to go into my own pocket instead of being spent on movies. "

"Haha, Mr. Wang, I am also afraid of this kind of thing, so I made an agreement with Media Asia. I don't need to take the position of producer, but I have to send someone to the crew to take charge of the money on the account. Mr. Wang, this is You can rest assured."

Wang Zhongjun immediately showed a relaxed smile on his face, "Mr. Wang, you are fully prepared, of course I am relieved.

Mr. Wang, Huayi is very interested in your project.Mr. Wang, tell us a time and we can meet and discuss it in detail. "

"Well, Mr. Wang, how about the day after tomorrow? Then I will go directly to Huayi to find you. It's inconvenient for you."

"Convenient, convenient, I will be waiting for you, Mr. Wang, in Huayi when the time comes."

"Haha, Mr. Wang, let's talk about it when we meet."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, goodbye."
