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

Chapter 148 Launch Press Conference (a [-]-word chapter)
"Director Zhang, producer Zhang, hello."

After returning from Hong Kong Island, Wan Qingshan and Yan Dong filled up the investment and sharing contract for "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" and flew to Shenzhen.

After staying in Shenzhen for nearly ten days, Zhang Weiping called to inform him that the makeup photos were to be taken. Wan Qingshan flew back to the capital and came to Zhang Weiping the next day.

"Hello, Director Wan." A faint smile appeared on Zhang Yimou's wrinkled face.

"Director Wan, please excuse me." Zhang Weiping replied politely.

"Producer Zhang is joking. I am an actor now. There is nothing wrong with actors taking makeup photos."

Then, Zhang Weiping and Wan Qingshan chatted for a while, and Wan Qingshan followed the crew to the dressing room.

After Wan Qingshan was given a good makeover by the makeup artist, Wan Qingshan looked at himself in the mirror and sighed, "I must have been a figure like Pan An in ancient times with my ancient costume!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The makeup artist and costume artist were amused by Wan Qingshan's words.

Then, the makeup artist quickly suppressed his laughter and apologized, "Director Wan, I'm sorry."

"What's the point of being embarrassed? Just laugh when you're happy." Wan Qingshan replied nonchalantly and walked outside.

During this period of time, Wan Qingshan had already mastered the role of Yuan Jie in his dream, and could immediately express whatever state he needed.

Therefore, under the photography of Zhang Yimou's royal photographer, Zhao Xiaoding, who is also a graduate of Nortel, Wan Qingshan's makeup photos were quickly taken out in less than 10 minutes.

This made Zhao Xiaoding sigh and said, "Director Wan, this is the fastest makeup photo I have ever taken since I started working."

"Haha, Photography Zhao, you are so complimentary."

Immediately, Wan Qingshan said enthusiastically, "By the way, Senior Brother Zhao, I want to trouble you with something."

Zhao Xiaoding's eyes flashed and he replied warily, "Director Wan, I'm just a photographer, how can I help you."

When Wan Qingshan saw this, he knew that Zhao Xiaoding thought he wanted him to give him more shots during filming.

So he stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Brother Zhao, it is precisely because you are a photographer that I want you to help.

Well, I have a friend who also graduated from the Nortel Photography Department, and he was responsible for the photography of several of my films.

As for him, he knows that his photography skills are still far behind. After he found out that I took over the filming of "The Golden Armor", he always wanted me to bring him into the group, just because he wanted to learn from you, Brother Zhao. "

At the premiere of "The Promise", after watching "The Promise", Wan Qingshan knew that both his directing skills and his royal team were far behind Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

Therefore, he thought of taking advantage of the opportunity to star in "The Golden Armor" to follow Zhang Yimou and learn Zhang Yimou's use of mirroring and screen layout. At the same time, he also brought Yan Dong in to learn from Zhao Xiaoding.

Zhao Xiaoding was stunned for a moment, then said with a relaxed smile, "That's it, Director Wan, just say it directly next time you speak, otherwise I don't think you're asking me to help.

The friend you mentioned, Director Wan, is Yan Dong, right? I know, his teacher and I both know each other.

He is my direct junior brother, and his teacher is also my friend. It is my duty to do this favor for you.

However, you have to discuss this matter with Producer Zhang first.After all, he is responsible for all the crew members. There is an extra person, so we must talk to him first. "

"Senior Brother Zhao, it's my fault, it's my fault. I'm used to dealing with those people, and I don't think I've learned to beat around the bush."

Zhao Xiaoding smiled, and after chatting with Wan Qingshan about Nortel School, he turned around and went to work.

Wan Qingshan went back to the dressing room and changed his clothes, then approached Zhang Weiping and said he wanted to bring Yan Dong into the group to help.

Zhang Weiping knew that Wan Qingshan wanted to arrange for someone to steal his master. Logically speaking, he should refuse such a thing.

But - Zhang Yimou is still the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. He is currently preparing for "The City of Golden Armor" and is still busy with the Olympics with his team.

By the time "The City Is Full of Golden Armor" is being filmed, Zhang Yimou and his team will definitely be busy with the Olympics at the same time.

Manpower was tight, so Zhang Weiping agreed.

Then, Zhang Weiping and Wan Qingshan talked about the launch conference of "The Golden Armor" two days later. Wan Qingshan said that he would arrive early and turned around to leave.

"Wan Dao!"

As soon as he went out, Wan Qingshan bumped into Fan who was about to take a makeup photo.

"Director Wan, thank you for helping me win the lead female role in "Ip Man"!" Fan said with sincerity.

Fan was very grateful to Wan Qingshan. Wan Qingshan said at the beginning that he could not give her any resources.

Therefore, after Fan decided to cooperate with Wan Qingshan to open a company, she never thought about how many resources Wan Qingshan could give her.

Unexpectedly, before she and Wan Qingshan opened the company, Wan Qingshan got her the second female lead in Zhang Yimou's movie.

Not long after this, another female lead appeared in a movie. It was an action movie directed by Wan Qingshan himself and starring Zhang Jin.

Think about Zeng Li, who has continued to receive endorsement deals since she appeared in "Loyalty Liver and Righteous Bravery".This resource is comparable to all the resources Huayi gave her when she was in Huayi. The total resources are much better!

While Fan was happy, his dissatisfaction with Wan Qingshan's argument for the shares disappeared in an instant, and he was filled with gratitude to Wan Qingshan. He got the leading female lead in a blockbuster movie without having to pay anything. This,,, ,

"Haha, Miss Fan, you called me and thanked me two days ago, so there's no need to thank me again."

Two days ago, Fan received an invitation from Jiang Zhiqiang to be the female lead in "Ip Man". After knowing that Wan Qingshan had won for her, she called Wan Qingshan and thanked him on the phone.

Fan lifted her hair from her ears and said with a smile, "Director Wan, because you were not in the capital at that time, I didn't even have the chance to thank you in person, so I thanked you over the phone.

But there is no sincerity in saying thank you over the phone.By the way, Director Wan, will you be free soon?I'd like to treat you to a meal and thank you for the movie role you secured for me. "

"Eat, maybe next time, I'll have something to do later."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Fan's eyes, "Well, Director Wan, you are busy, I will invite you next time."

"Uh-huh!"

After Wan Qingshan responded, he quickly got into the car.

Wan Qingshan refused Fan because he really had something to do. He hadn't told Yan Dong yet about bringing him to the set of "The City of Golden Armor" to learn secretly.

Wan Qingshan returned to the alley in front of his house, walked to the front door of his house, and saw not far ahead, at the door of a courtyard, Yan Dong was waving and shouting, "Qingzi, here!"

Wan Qingshan walked over quickly and took a look at the courtyard house that Yan Dong had just bought two days ago, and then told Yan Dong about taking him to the set of "The City of Golden Armor" to steal from him.

Several movies in Wanqingshan made photographer Yan Dong somewhat famous.However, he knew that his photography skills were pretty good among the younger generation, but compared to seniors like Zhao Xiaoding, he was still far behind.

Therefore, I didn’t feel ashamed or resisted at all about going to study secretly, but I was very excited.

,,,,,,,,
"Director Zhang, I'm sorry to be late."

"Ms. Gong, Mr. Zhou,,,,"

In the lounge of the press conference for the launch of "The Golden Armor", Wan Qingshan, who had just walked in, apologized to Zhang Yimou, and then addressed Gong Li, Zhou Runfa and others.

"Director Wan, you are not late, it's just that we are early." Zhang Yimou replied with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Director Wan." Gong Li replied with a faint smile.

"Director Wan is so handsome. When I see you, wow, I feel old." Zhou Runfa said with a funny smile.

Seeing this, Wan Qingshan smiled at Gong Li and Zhang Yimou, then looked over to Ni Dahong and Chen Jin and nodded with a smile.

Then, he sat next to Zhou Runfa and replied in the same funny way, "Brother Fa, I have already called you Brother Fa. Have you ever returned to the time when you were a handsome boy?"

Zhou Run was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wan Qingshan to respond to him in the same funny way.

"Haha, Director Wan, your voice really brings me back to the time when I was a handsome boy. It makes me feel like I was back to the time when I finished filming "A Better Tomorrow."

"Fa Ge, after you finish filming "A Better Tomorrow", everyone should call you Fa Ge or Xiao Ma Ge!"

"How is that possible? Director Wu and the others kept saying, Fa Zai, Fa Zai, come here, Fa Zai, what are you doing!"

Wan Qingshan couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhou Runfa deliberately speaking with a straight face.

While Wan Qingshan and Zhou Runfa were having a funny conversation with each other, Zhou Jielun walked in.

The young Zhou Jielun looked slumped in his temperament and demeanor.

But maybe, maybe, or,,, it's because of the high status of people like Zhang Yimou and Wan Qingshan. He looks like he is acting like a little white rabbit, greeting these people respectfully.

After greeting Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, they came to Wanqingshan and Zhou Runfa.

"Director Wan, Mr. Zhou, hello two seniors! I am a newcomer. There are things I did not do well during filming. Please forgive me."

Zhou Jielun has a very obvious Wanwan accent. If Wan Qingshan was asked to cast an actor, he would never be cast in the role of Yuan Jie.

But this was Zhang Yimou's movie. Wan Qingshan couldn't say anything. He just smiled and said, "King Zhou! You are not a newcomer in the film industry. Last year, the box office of "Initial D" you starred in was not low, and you also won several A prize."

"Yes, little Zhou Sheng, I have seen your "Initial D" in Hong Kong Island.

After reading it, I sighed, this young boy is so awesome.

Then, within a few months, I watched "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" again on Hong Kong Island.I was thinking at that time, today’s young people are incredible! "

Zhou Runfa turned his eyes, looked at Wan Qingshan, and said with an exaggerated expression, "Director Wan, you just talked about awards, and then I remembered that your first movie won the Berlin Best Actor, and you were the first Chinese to win the Berlin Best Actor.

Wow, I haven’t won the Best Actor Award from the three major European film festivals yet. Your first movie has surpassed all the honors I have received over the decades of acting.

Then Zhou Runfa turned his eyes again, "Young Zhou Sheng, you are not that far behind. You have crossed over as a singer, your first movie was a big hit at the box office, and you even won an award. Think about me at that time, the first movie didn't make any splash at all. .

Seeing you makes me wonder if it’s time for me to retire. "

"Ha ha!"

The antics between Zhou Runfa and Wan Qingshan made Zhou Jielun, who was already nervous about working with big-name stars like Wan Qingshan, even more nervous.

He smiled helplessly, and then - somewhat dejectedly ran away to greet Fan and Ni Dahong.

"Brother Fa, you also said that Xiao Zhousheng crossed over to other fields, but I remember that you also crossed over to become a singer.

The albums they released have sold double platinum, especially one of the albums that seems to have only two songs!If two songs sell double platinum, you are the crossover king. "Wan Qingshan pretended to be amazed.

The original Wan Qingshan was shocked when he heard the medley song "12 Points Ten Deposits", not only because of the funny lyrics, but also because the singer was actually Zhou Runfa.

Later, he went to find out more and found out that Zhou Runfa's album with only two songs actually sold double platinum. It was a miracle that put many singers to shame!

Zhou Run was stunned for a moment and laughed. "Haha, Director Wan, you even know this!"

"Of course, it's a double platinum record, and it was sung by you, Brother Fa. Once I take one look at this kind of news, I will never forget it in my life!"

While Wan Qingshan and Zhou Runfa were joking and making fun of each other, Qin Junjie, who was still a child, was led in by Zhang Weiping.

After waiting for Qin Junjie to get to know everyone obediently, Zhang Weiping, who had just left for a while, walked in again, and then invited everyone to go outside for the launch conference.

As soon as they arrived in the lobby, all the reporters were stunned for a moment, and then - the flash lights clicked!

Gong Li, Zhou Runfa and the others, who had experienced this kind of situation a lot, were not affected by the flash of white lights at all. Only Wan Qingshan and Qin Junjie were very affected. Qin Junjie was so distracted that he hid behind the nearest Ni Dahong.

Wan Qingshan lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at the flashing lights.

As for Zhou Jielun, who claims to be a newcomer in the film industry, his status in the music industry has led to him having a lot of experience with flash lights. Faced with this situation, he is more natural than Fan.

After everyone sat down one by one, the flashlights became much less intense.

Zhang Weiping guest-hosted, and after the opening remarks, reporters were asked to ask questions.

Then - all the reporters raised their hands, with two words engraved on their faces - choose me!

All the reporters had very excited expressions. If it weren't for the security guards standing around, they would probably have rushed forward.

These reporters are a little crazy, and for good reason!

As early as two months ago, Zhang Weiping contacted Wan Qingshan and asked Wan Qingshan not to tell anyone that he would participate in "The City of Gold".

Then, Zhang Weiping released the news that Zhang Yimou is going to make a new movie, and it will be a costume movie!
Zhang Weiping is a master of publicity and knows how to keep the attention of reporters and audiences.

After the news that Zhang Yimou's new film is a costume blockbuster was released, it attracted the attention of many audiences and media.

But because Zhang Yimou has filmed several costume blockbusters before, this news is not strange, and soon the attention of the audience and the media began to shift.

Seeing that the popularity was almost gone, Zhang Weiping released news again that the female lead in Zhang Yimou's new film is Gong Li, Zhang Yimou's ex-girlfriend who has not worked with Zhang Yimou for several years.

Gong Li once again collaborated with Zhang Yimou. This news was extremely popular and topical, which attracted the attention of the audience and the media again, and kept it for a while.

However, as for news, if there is no follow-up freshness, the popularity will gradually decrease.

After the news died down, Zhang Weiping revealed that one of the two leading actors was Zhou Runfa.

Instantly, the heat is back!
Then, when the news was almost gone, he announced that Zhou Jielun would be participating.

Then, Zhang Weiping released it one after another, with Ni Dahong and Fan starring, and the script was adapted from "Thunderstorm", which kept the popularity of "The City of Golden Armor" for a full two months.

However, Zhang Weiping has never revealed who will star in the other male lead. This unknown male lead has aroused the curiosity of the audience and the media.

Under the deliberate guidance of Zhang Weiping's organized navy, a month ago, there were many posts on the Internet discussing who was the other male protagonist in "The Golden Armor". The popularity of the posts was still high due to Zhang Weiping's hype.

Zhang Weiping already knows how to publicize, and by pondering Wan Qingshan's publicity method on "Loyal Liver and Brave", Zhang Weiping knows better how to arouse the audience's sense of participation and keep the audience curious.

Half a month ago, Zhang Weiping asked the navy to guide netizens to vote on who they thought would be the other leading actor in "The Golden Armor": Cheng Long, Liang Chaowei, Li Lianjie, Zhang Jin, Ge You, Andy Lau, ,, many celebrities are examples.

Among these stars, Jet Li received the most votes, while Tony Leung ranked second just a little less.

Li Lianjie, Liang Chaowei and Zhang Yimou have collaborated on "Hero", and the new film is a costume blockbuster, so naturally they think Li Lianjie and Liang Chaowei are the most likely.

As for celebrities like Liu Dehua and Jin Chengwu who agreed to work with Zhang Yimou.Well,,,, in the eyes of netizens, it is a bit impossible for the two of them to match Zhou Runfa and Gong Li.

Then - Liang Chaowei was instantly eliminated because some media asked Liang Chaowei about this matter, but Liang Chaowei said that he had not received an invitation from Director Zhang.

Therefore, netizens, fans and news media all believed that the other starring role must be Jet Li.

If Li Lianjie were not in the mainland or Hong Kong Island, media reporters would have asked Li Lianjie to confirm.

As for Wanqingshan, well, no one would vote for his name.

With Wan Qingshan's international status, although he has not entered Hollywood, he enjoys a high reputation in Europe.

With his status, he can barely match Gong Li and Zhou Runfa.

But - Wan Qingshan is a great director and has never appeared in other directors' movies, so no one believed that he would star in "The Golden Armor".

Wan Qingshan, who no one believed would star in "A City Full of Golden Armor", now appeared at the launch conference of "A City Full of Golden Armor"!
With such breaking news, it would be strange for reporters not to go crazy.

As Zhang Weiping randomly clicked on a reporter!
"Director Wan, may I ask why you participated in Director Zhang's "A City of Golden Armor"?" the reporter asked immediately. "Well, when "Hero" was released, I was still a student. At that time, I was young and vigorous. After watching "Hero", I said to myself, one day, I will make a movie like this.

Only after I really entered the directing industry did I realize that the sky is high and the sky is high, and I realized that I couldn't shoot a blockbuster like "Hero".I still don’t dare to shoot this kind of blockbusters.

When I first received the invitation to "The Golden Armor", I thought that since I can't make such a blockbuster now, I would star in one.

I wanted to learn how Director Zhang made such blockbusters to prepare myself for making blockbusters in the future, so I took over the filming of "The City of Golden Armor". "

Zhang Yimou on the side looked sideways at Wanqing Mountain in surprise, while Zhang Weiping had a hint of gloom on his face.

Wan Qingshan's words reminded him of Wan Qingshan's previous invitation to Yan Dong to steal his teacher, so he was sure that Wan Qingshan's words to reporters were probably true.

Spending 3000 million and the resources of a second female lead, only to hire a thief!

The reporter who asked the question had a disappointed expression on his face. Wan Qingshan's answer was nothing explosive.

Before he could continue speaking, Zhang Weiping named another reporter.

"Director Wan, will you take on other directors' films in the future?"

"It depends on the situation. I still prefer to be a director, but if the script is very attractive to me. Haha, or like Director Zhang, if there is something I want to learn, I will still act."

"Director Wan, do you want to go to Hollywood to develop your career?"

,,,,,,
The first half of the launch conference almost turned into Wanqingshan's personal interview session, and every reporter went to Wanqingshan.

It wasn't until Wan Qingshan answered nearly ten questions without saying anything explosive that the reporter turned his questions to Gong Li and others.

After the press conference, everyone except Zhang Weiping had a meal at a nearby hotel and then dispersed.

While everyone in Wan Qingshan went home, news about the launch conference of "A City of Golden Armor" spread on the Internet and in the industry.

"Holy shit, it's not Li Lianjie, Cheng Long or the others, it's Director Wan. We all guessed wrong!"

"No, Director Wan, he's a great director, why are he rushing to take the movie? He should be making movies as soon as possible."

"Upstairs, let me tell you something very bad. Director Wan, although he is a director, he has won the Best Picture Award and the Best Actor Award at the three major European film festivals, but he has never won the Best Director Award. .

Tell me, is Director Wan, who has won Best Actor but not Best Director, more suitable to be a director or an actor to take on roles? 'Funny face'"

"Oh, don't tell me. Director Wan's acting skills are really great. I bought the CD of "Heart" and watched it. Although I didn't understand the last scene and didn't understand what it meant, I felt that Director Wan was very good at that scene at the end. The acting in the scene made my scalp numb."

"Fuck, upstairs, you feel the same way! I thought it was just one person who felt that way. In the last two and 10 minutes of "Heart", Director Wan's acting skills were really amazing.

In the last two 10 minutes of the scene, Director Wan didn't say a word and acted only with his eyes, which really made my scalp numb.

If you haven't seen it, you can go and see it. Really, even if you don't understand it, it will shock you. "

"I haven't seen it upstairs yet. After hearing what you said, I will search online and find it out.

However, since you praised Director Wan’s eye scene so much upstairs, do you think the eye scene between Director Wan and Liang Chaowei’s eye scene is better? "

"You don't need to tell you upstairs, let me tell you that I am a student of the Chinese Opera Department of Performance. Although I don't have any acting talent, I still have a certain ability in appreciation.

As for the eye-catching scenes between Director Wan and Tony Leung, Director Wan is definitely the best.

There are too many theories to explain, so I’ll be more straightforward.As long as you observe more, you will find that Liang Chaowei's eye scenes are often the same.

Liang Chaowei's eyes are in good condition and his eyes are deep.If he plays a very restrained character, that would be great. It will make people feel that his eye scenes are incredible.

But if he plays other roles, his eye play is a bit ineffective. If you watch the old movie "East and West", you will find that when he plays a comedy role, his eye play has no characteristics at all.

Director Wan is different, he has a wide range of eyes.Look at the evil-minded Shi Hong in "Loyalty and the Righteousness" and Luo Feng, who is restrained and has a lot of inner drama in "Heart". They are two completely different characters. Director Wan can bring the audience into the drama through his eyes.

The above is just my opinion and may not be correct.But in Chinese dramas, no acting teacher would explain Leung Chaowei's eye scene.

But Director Wan's "Heart" is often used as a teaching material by teachers, especially the last two and 10 minutes.

My teachers often lamented that if "Heart" had not been designated as a banned film and director Wan was not qualified enough, the higher-ups would not have sent "Heart" to the Oscars.Otherwise, just for the last 10 minutes, Director Wan can go to the Oscars! "

"Holy crap, everyone in the drama is out!"

"The person from the Chinese drama came out to talk about the relationship between Director Wan and Zeng Li. It was previously rumored that Director Wan and Zeng Li had an affair. Zeng Li is also from the Chinese drama. Do you know the inside story? Is Director Wan really dating? Zeng Li has a leg!"

"Yes, yes, come out and tell us about the relationship between Director Wan and Zeng Li!"

"Come out and talk about it. I think Wan Qingshan and Zeng Li must be having an affair. Otherwise, why would Wan Qingshan admire Zeng Li so much!"

,,,,,

,,,,,

"Hey, hey! Stop talking about the scandal! Stop talking about Director Wan's scandal.

Let’s talk about Director Wan’s performance in “The Golden Armor”!

I didn't say that Director Wan's movies were not good before. I just wanted to watch the movies made by Director Wan. I have watched "The True Meaning of Love" and "Loyalty and Loyalty" several times, and I have been waiting for his new movie. Why did he suddenly go filming! "——The Internet beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep from the second floor!

"Back to the topic! Don't mention it, I also want to watch Director Wan's new film. Although Director Wan did not win the Director Award, I think the two commercial films made by Director Wan are much better than those films that won the Director Award. .

I never tire of watching "The True Meaning of Love," but I don't have a good impression of "Loyalty and Loyalty" because of what Enlight Pictures did.

But I have to admit that the movie is really exciting, and the fighting scenes are no worse than Jet Li's movies.As for the plot, "A Loyal Liver and a Righteous Brave" is definitely far better than the action movies of Jet Li and Cheng Long! "

,,,,,,,,
When it was hotly debated online, there was also some turmoil in the circle.

In the office of the president of Chengtian Entertainment, Wu Kebo looked at the news on the Internet, his eyes flashed, and then he took out his mobile phone and called Han Sanping.

"Director Han, have you read the news on the Internet? It's about Director Wan starring in Director Zhang's movie."

Over there, Han Sanping immediately understood what Wu Kebo meant, "Mr. Wu, I know what you're thinking. Only when you saw Wan Qingshan starred in Zhang Yimou's movie did you know that he didn't refuse to take the role. So you want me to invite Wan Qingshan to star. Red Cliff, right?”

"Red Cliff"!
If Wan Qingshan heard that Han Sanping and Wu Kebo actually talked about "Red Cliff", he would definitely be very surprised.Because the original "Red Cliff" obviously only started filming in 2007 and was not released until 2008.

It's only the beginning of 2006, and Wu Kebo and Han Sanping are actually starting to prepare for the filming of "Red Cliff". They even revealed that they seem to have been preparing for some time and are about to start casting!
"Yes, that's what I mean. Look, Director Han, Director Wan's box office appeal is unique in the mainland. In the island country, Director Wan's fame will skyrocket next month.

Inviting Director Wan to star in "Red Cliff" will definitely increase the box office in the mainland, and the price of copyright fees in Japan and South Korea will also be much higher. "

"Wait! Mr. Wu, you just said that next month, Wanqing Mountain's reputation will skyrocket in the island country. What do you mean?"

"Director Han, it's like this. I have a friend at Toei in the island country. He told me yesterday that Toei plans to release "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" this weekend.

A few days ago, they held several screenings of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery".Audiences, media, and filmmakers all spoke highly of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness".

Toei Company internally used the audience's word-of-mouth to make an estimate of the box office of "A Loyalty", estimating that "A Loyalty" can reach at least 20 billion yen, and may even reach 30 billion yen.

Director Wan's "The True Meaning of Love" sold almost one billion yen in the island country, and now "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" has at least 20 billion yen.

Director Han, we have already invited Zhang Jin and Zeng Li for "Red Cliff". If we add Director Wan, then all the original cast members of "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" will be there, and they will be responsible for the copyright fee of "Red Cliff". They will definitely be willing to pay a sky-high price. "

Wu Kebo was afraid that Han Sanping would not be moved by this, so he continued to talk about South Korea.

"Director Han, "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" has such a high expected box office in the island country, and it will probably not be much worse in South Korea. Think about it, Director Han, as long as Director Wan is invited to star, then the Japanese and Korean copyrights of "Red Cliff" The fees can be greatly increased from the original basis.”

Only then did Han Sanping understand why Wu Kebo contacted him two days ago and insisted on inviting Zhang Jin and Zeng Li to star in "Red Cliff".

At that time, he thought that Wu Kebo invited Zhang Jin and Zeng Li because they were very popular. It turned out that he knew that "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" was expected to have a high box office in the island country!

After waiting for a while, Han Sanping's voice came from the phone, "Mr. Wu, you have to consider that if Wan Qingshan plays the role, with his current status, he can only play the male lead.

Although "Red Cliff" is an ensemble drama and there are several male leads, Wu Yusen and Emperor Yang Shoucheng wanted to use people like Zhou Yunfa and Jin Chengwu.

The starring roles of Zhang Jin and Zeng Li have already made Wu Yusen and Yang Shoucheng very dissatisfied.As for the male lead, we are forcing him to do it, so what attitude will he have? "

"Director Han, don't worry about this. As long as you convince Director Wan, I can guarantee that Director Wu and Yang Shoucheng will agree."

Wu Kebo sounded very sure, as if persuading Wu Yusen and Yang Shoucheng was an easy task for him.

This made Han Sanping a little curious. When Zhang Jin and Zeng Li were invited to star in "Red Cliff", Wu Yusen and Yang Shoucheng did not agree. In the end, Wu Kebo did not know how to get it done.

"Mr. Wu, do you have any special tricks that can definitely defeat Wu Yusen?" Han Sanping couldn't help but ask.

Wu Kebo's eyes flickered, and he laughed and said, "Haha, Director Han, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is a business secret belonging to Chengtian Entertainment, it's inconvenient to say."

"Haha, then I won't ask. Since you can ensure that you persuade Wu Yusen, then I'll contact Wan Qingshan here."

Wu Kebo's face showed joy and he said quickly, "Director Han, please trouble you."

Wu Kebo had just hung up the phone when his cell phone rang again.

The phone shows the caller - Wang Jinghua!Then——Wu Kebo immediately frowned.

As soon as the call was connected, Wang Jinghua's very dissatisfied voice came from the phone!

"Mr. Wu, you promised me that my artists could star in movies through the resources of Chengtian Entertainment.

Chengtian Entertainment didn’t have much movie resources before. I can understand that and I can wait.

But now that we have the resources, why don’t my artists have the chance to star? "

"Mr. Wang, didn't I tell you that your Hu Jun will appear in "Red Cliff"?"

Wang Jinghua's sneer came from the phone, "Haha, of all the artists under my banner, only Hu Jun can star in "Red Cliff", and he is only a small supporting role. Mr. Wu, are these the resources you promised me in the first place?"

Wu Kebo knew that he was a little unjust, so when faced with Wang Jinghua's words, although he felt unhappy, it was hard to say anything.

"There's nothing I can do about it, Wu Yusen doesn't like other actors!"

"Haha, because Wu Yusen, when you invited Wan Qingshan, Mr. Wu suddenly changed your mind.

Well, now Wu Yusen is invited, but our artist has no chance to star.

My artists have no chance to appear, but I can calm their emotions by comforting them.But as for Mr. Wu, there are still a few artists in Chengtian Entertainment. I want to see Mr. Wu how you can appease their dissatisfaction.

Mr. Wu, just wait and regret your change of heart! "

Listening to the blind tone of the end of the call coming from the mobile phone, Wu Kebo was not dissatisfied with Wang Jinghua's words.

He was really convinced by Wang Jinghua, and he regrets it now.

At first, Wu Kebo changed his mind temporarily because he contacted Wu Yusen.

At that time, Wu Yusen's several consecutive movies in Hollywood were disastrous at the box office, causing MGM Pictures to go bankrupt and sell it to Sony.

Let a Hollywood giant fall. Which film and television company in Hollywood dares to give Wu Yusen a chance.

Hollywood has no place to stand, and Hong Kong Film and Television has long since ceased to exist.So when faced with Wu Kebo's invitation to cooperate, Wu Yusen basically agreed without much thought.

Wu Yusen had no foothold in Hollywood, but Wu Kebo was too superstitious about Wu Yusen's previous achievements. In his opinion, Wu Yusen had just missed a moment.

And Wanqingshan!
At first, Wu Kebo went to film the kung fu movie "Loyal Liver and Brave" because of Wan Qingshan. He felt that Wan Qingshan was too young and unstable.

But after the box office of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" was released on the first day, Wu Kebo immediately changed. At that time, in his eyes, Wanqingshan was good everywhere.

But now with Wu Yusen as a comparison, Wan Qingshan has shortcomings in Wu Kebo's eyes, too young, unstable, adventurous, too strong...
Therefore, Wu Kebo changed his mind temporarily!
But unexpectedly, after cooperating with Wu Yusen, Wu Kebo discovered that Wu Yusen was too difficult to deal with, even more difficult to deal with than Wan Qingshan.

Although Wan Qingshan will pre-select actors, they are all mainland actors. Wang Jinghua and Chengtian Entertainment have so many artists, even if they are pre-selected, there is a high chance that their artists will star.

But Wu Yusen teamed up with Yang Shoucheng, one of the co-financiers of "Red Cliff", and several leading actors, and they all strived to select Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

If it weren't for the stipulations in co-productions that the main cast should be no less than one-third mainland actors, I guess they would have used all Hong Kong and Taiwan artists!
Several of the leading actors are Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, and the supporting roles have to be divided with other investment companies. As a result, Chengtian Entertainment got a small supporting role. Isn't this just spending Chengtian Entertainment's money to support outsiders?

Wu Kebo would not agree to this, but he could not persuade Wu Yusen and Yang Shoucheng, so he was helpless.

A few days ago, there was news from the island country that Toei Corporation had made box office estimates for "The Loyalty and the Brave".

In order to get a high royalties for "Red Cliff", Wu Kebo lowered his face and tried his best to lobby Yang Shoucheng with the royalties from the Japanese and Korean markets of "Red Cliff".

At the same time, he also spent a sum of money to give Wu Yusen a gift!

Only then did they agree to invite Zhang Jin and Zeng Li to star.

Wu Kebo felt very aggrieved that he had to spend money to buy roles in the movies he invested in.If word spreads, Wu Kebo will become a joke in the circle!
How can he not regret it now?If he were asked to do it again, he would definitely not rush to contact Wu Yusen, but instead throw money at Wanqingshan!
When Wu Kebo regretted it, Huayi's Wang Zhongjun was laughing heartily while watching the news about the launch conference of "The City of Golden Armor" that Wang Zhonglei had brought up for him on his computer.

Wang Zhonglei also understood the reason why Wang Zhongjun was laughing. He said with a smile, "Brother, do you want me to contact the media to hype up Wanqingshan's status?"

Wang Zhongjun stopped smiling, looked away from the computer, shook his head and said, "It's not possible now, you can hype him, he can also hype Feng Xiaogang has no international awards, and the box office cannot match him.

When the time comes, his status will decline, but Feng Xiaogang will also be dragged down by him.

If you want to build up the hype, you have to wait until "The Night Banquet" is released and the box office is similar to "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness". "

Wang Zhonglei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uh, brother, do you think the box office of "The Night Banquet" will be that high?"

Wang Zhongjun's expression froze, "There must be!"

Wang Zhongjun said the words 'definitely' in a very uncertain tone.

Wang Zhongjun went to see the finished film of "The Night Banquet", and it was a bit unappealing to him.

It's too chilling, heavy, and too elaborate, and the lines oscillate between drama and easy-to-understand human speech.

Wang Zhongjun watched from the audience's perspective. Halfway through, he didn't want to watch anymore.

Seeing this, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help it anymore, "Brother, it's just you and me here, and you're still lying. I can't even stand the movie "The Banquet". I don't believe you still have such a high opinion of "The Banquet" expectations.

As I said before, Feng Xiaogang cannot be allowed to mess around.He saw that both Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige had made costume blockbusters, and he also went to make costume blockbusters for his own status.

But he didn't look at where he started from, and didn't consider his own wealth, so he just went to shoot costume movies.

Brother, if you look at Wan Qingshan, he knows what he is worth. He doesn't follow the trend of popular costume blockbusters. The two movies he made are not big scenes.

Now, in front of reporters, he directly admitted that he could not make a blockbuster film, and he participated in "The Golden Armor" to learn from Zhang Yimou. "

After Wang Zhongjun was silent for a moment, he sighed and said, "Okay, the movie has been shot. Now I hope Feng Xiaogang can make "The Night Banquet" better through post-production.

Zhonglei, don’t say what you just said to anyone else, lest Feng Xiaogang hear it. "

"Brother, I'm not stupid. I won't tell anyone. Brother, what I just said is that I hope you won't let Feng Xiaogang's temper get the better of you. Don't agree to whatever movie he wants to make.

To put it seriously, Feng Xiaogang is already so old and Wan Qingshan hasn't seen him clearly yet. Wan Qingshan knows that he can't take pictures well, so he won't take pictures.

Feng Xiaogang doesn't care so much. Anyway, the movie is invested by the company, and he gets the director's fee whether the movie is good or not. "

Wang Zhonglei's words made Wang Zhongjun frown, "Okay, I understand what you mean, there's no need to say it anymore, I have my own considerations."

Seeing that Wang Zhongjun's tone was a bit harsh, Wang Zhonglei didn't dare to say anything anymore. He said something to Wang Zhongjun and turned to leave the office.
