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

Chapter 183

"Han Dong!"

"Han Dong!"

Wan Qingshan and Wang Changtian stood up and addressed each other.

Han Sanping smiled at the three of them, and then looked at Wanqing Mountain.

"Qingshan, if it's not convenient, please find a place with me to chat."

"Director Han, of course it's convenient for you to talk to me."

Wan Qingshan and Han Sanping walked out of the lounge and found an empty room aside.

"Qingshan, I won't be polite to you anymore. I'm asking you, are you not going to let Zhang Zhao and Chen Kexin collaborate in "The Film"?"

Han Sanping's words surprised Wan Qingshan. He had been guessing just now, what was Han Sanping talking to him about?

He never expected that Han Sanping was talking to him about this matter.

After Wan Qingshan's thoughts flashed for a moment, he nodded, "Yes, I was the one who asked Zhang Zhao to refuse to cooperate with Chen Kexin.

But I made this decision entirely from a business perspective. The "Notice of Investment" was too risky, and cooperation was not worth it. "

Han Sanping frowned and whispered, "Qingshan, the incident you caused before made everyone know that you have conflicts with the Hong Kong film and television industry.

So for some things, you can’t just think about it from a business perspective, you have to think about it from a high perspective. "

Wan Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "Director Han, let's not talk about the problem with my eyesight.

Regarding this matter, I find it very strange that Chen Kexin wants to put a big label on me because I refuse to cooperate with him.

Then why didn't he complain to the General Administration or the Bank of Hong Kong? Instead, he complained to you, causing you to hold me accountable! "

"Hmm!!! Qingshan, what do you mean?"

Seeing Han Sanping's expression of surprise and confusion, Wan Qingshan's eyes flashed with surprise, and then an idea came to his mind.

"Director Han, didn't Chen Kexin complain to you?"

"No, I just heard someone say that Chen Kexin wanted to get Qingshan Media Company to invest in "Investment Letter", but you rejected it.

Qingshan, tell me how Chen Kexin proposed cooperation with you! "

Han Sanping's deep eyes showed anger, and Wan Qingshan's words made him understand that he was being used as a weapon.

"Kexin Chan wants to use his 10% investment share in each of the two films, "The Famous Man" and "Jiangshan Beauty", in exchange for my 10% investment share in "A Love Story."

He had already persuaded Zhang Zhao, but I vetoed it. "

As soon as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, Han Sanping, who could not hold back his anger, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Chen Kexin, you can do it!"

"Unfashionable Love" is a comedy, and Wan Qingshan's first commercial film is a comedy-romance film. In addition, the investment is not large, which clearly shows that "Unlucky Love" can make a lot of money.

Chen Kexin exchanged two big-budget and high-risk movies for one that was guaranteed to make money without losing money. It's impossible to say who took advantage of whom.

But this is completely different from what he heard. What he heard was that Chen Kexin asked Qingshan Media to invest in the "Investment Letter" to express goodwill to the mainland and express his willingness to strengthen cooperation with the mainland.

Therefore, when he heard about it, he knew that the matter was in trouble. A well-known director from Hong Kong showed goodwill to the mainland and took the initiative to offer a big-budget movie for Qingshan Media to invest, but was rejected by Wan Qingshan. If this is serious, then Wanqingshan is sabotaging the general policy.

So he took advantage of today, the premiere of "Ip Man", to have a good talk with Wan Qingshan and persuade Wan Qingshan to cooperate with the Hong Kong film and television industry as soon as possible.

Regardless of the size of the cooperation, as long as there is cooperation, Wan Qingshan will not have nothing to do with rejecting Chen Kexin, even if it is a serious matter.

But he didn't expect that Chen Kexin's cooperation with Wan Qingshan was basically a film project investment exchange. This was not a demonstration of goodwill to the mainland, it was just a normal business transaction.

It was normal for Wan Qingshan to refuse a normal business transaction.

Han Sanping is very angry now!
Chen Kexin wanted to trick Wan Qingshan, but then, he foolishly believed it!
It's really a shame that he, the chairman of a company as big as China Film and Television, actually believed what Chen Kexin said!
After Han Sanping was angry for a few seconds, he calmed down his angry expression and whispered, "Qingshan, your rejection of Chen Kexin has been a bit of a scandal in the industry these past two days.

But if it spreads, it is a bit different from what you said. The rumor in the circle is that Chen Kexin demonstrated goodwill to the mainland and wanted to attract the mainland's film and television company, your Qingshan Media, to invest in "The Investment Certificate", but was rejected You refused.

You'd better spread the word about Chen Kexin's conditions for cooperation with you, otherwise you are likely to get into trouble. "

Wan Qingshan's pupils shrank slightly, and he was a little scared. Chen Kexin's move was really cruel. If this word spread in the circle, it would even be reported by the media.

So, no matter whether he was tricked by Chen Kexin or not, it was for the general purpose and to appease the Hong Kong film and television industry.

Even if he had the golden body of the business contract, even if Yumo's Grandpa Feng came forward, he would still be in trouble.

"Director Han, thank you for reminding me, I will call now."

Seeing Wan Qingshan take out his mobile phone as he spoke, Han Sanping said, "Qingshan, I'm looking for you just for this matter. Now that it's over, I'll go out first."

Looking at Han Sanping's back, Wan Qingshan said sincerely, "Director Han, thank you for your concern."

Now, Wan Qingshan's dissatisfaction with Han Sanping for forcing him to participate in "Crazy Racing" disappeared instantly.

After knowing the news about Han Sanping, Wan Qingshan was grateful for being able to give him some advice.

After Han Sanping walked out of the room, Wan Qingshan looked at his phone and turned to Li Yancheng's number.

Just when he was about to hit him, Wan Qingshan's fingers stopped.

After hesitating for a second, Wan Qingshan scrolled down the address book on his phone and found Zhang Zhao's number and called him.

After being connected, Zhang Zhao's voice immediately came from the phone, "Director Wan!"

"Mr. Zhang, have you heard that it has been rumored recently that I refused to cooperate with Chen Kexin in investing in "Investment Certificate"?"

"No, what's wrong, Director Wan?"

Wan Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhang Zhao's confused voice on the phone.

"Mr. Zhang, please immediately spread the terms of cooperation between Chen Kexin and Qingshan Media in the circle."

After waiting for two seconds, Zhang Zhao's curious voice came from the mobile phone, "I will do as you are told, but, Director Wan, if you haven't cooperated in this, why are you deliberately spreading it in the circle?"

"Mr. Zhang, if you go around and ask about the recent rumors about me and Chen Kexin, you will understand why.

It's an emergency, you'd better do it right away. "

"Okay, I understand, Director Wan, then I will release the news in the circle immediately."

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I'm attending the premiere of "Ip Man"."

"Okay, Director Wan, goodbye."

"goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan frowned in silence for a moment before walking out of the room.

As soon as Wan Qingshan returned to the lounge, he was pulled aside by Zhang Weiping to talk about the promotion of "The Golden Armor".

After Wan Qingshan and Han Sanping went out just now, Zhang Weiping became even more worried about the promotion of "The Golden Armor" after Wang Changtian praised the number of celebrities who came to the premiere of "Ip Man".

Therefore, when Zhang Weiping saw Wan Qingshan come in, he pulled Wan Qingshan aside and, regardless of his face, used the word 'beg' and begged Wan Qingshan to come to the road show of "The Golden Armor".

Wan Qingshan was very helpless. He only participated in the premiere of "Ip Man" and three road shows. That was because he was really busy. He had to be busy with the post-production of "A Journey to Love" and had no time.

But for "The Golden Armor", he didn't think about not participating in the road show.

"A City of Golden Armor" will be released on December 12. By that time, the post-production of "A Journey to Love" should have been finalized and the first cut has been finalized.

By then, he won't have to keep staring and should be able to find time to go on road shows.

In Wanqingshan, he repeatedly said, "I will go, don't worry, Mr. Zhang." '

Zhang Weiping was just a little relieved.

Then, Fan Bayi, wearing a long tube top dress, walked over.

"Director Wan, Mr. Zhang."

When Zhang Weiping saw Fan Bayi's eyes fixed on Wan Qingshan, he immediately smiled and said, "Director Wan, Miss Fan, you guys chat, I'll go find Mr. Jiang to talk about something."

After Zhang Weiping left, Fan Bayi said in a low voice, "Director Wan, I received an invitation for a movie. This is a literary film directed by Li Yu. It will be shot next year. I want to invite you to play the male lead. I didn't know you It’s inconvenient.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Wan Qingshan's eyes!
Literary film, directed by Li Yu!

It was most likely the original "Apple" that was criticized domestically and cut by the General Administration, and made Fan Bayi famous internationally.

The original "Apple" was filmed in 2006. Wan Qingshan saw that Fan Baoyi did not appear in "Apple" last year.

I thought she would not appear in "Apple" again, but I didn't expect that "Apple" was postponed for a year, and she still found Fan Bayi.

Wan Qingshan shook his head slightly, "At the beginning of next year, I have to prepare for my new movie, and I don't have time to star in other movies."

Suddenly, Fan Bayi looked disappointed. Fan Bayi did not hide that disappointed expression at all!

There is a reason why Fan Bayi doesn't know how to restrain his expression like usual.

The invitation to film "Apple" came to her two months ago.

Fan Bayi likes the script "Apple" very much. She can tell that as long as she performs well, "Apple" will probably allow her to go abroad.In the past, she would have done it without even thinking about it, but it was different now. She didn't want to act in this kind of movie again.

There were too many passionate scenes in "Apple", and she knew that Wan Qingshan might hate her in his heart due to her performance.

Especially some time ago, after what Chen Yumo said in an interview with the media on the set was reported, Fan Bayi was even more reluctant to act in "Apple", so even if she liked it, she was not willing to act.

However, the box office performance of "Ip Man" in North America was not as expected, and her path to becoming an international female star through commercial films was cut off.

In addition, Li Yu didn’t know what to think. It seemed that she had to be Fan Bayi. She often called Fan Bayi and told her that she wanted the public to know that she could act, that she wanted to go abroad, and that she wanted to participate in the three major European film festivals. , then you come to participate in "Apple".

Li Yu's temptation made Fan Bayi, who wanted to become an international female star, moved.

She thought that if commercial films were not good, then she would make literary films, and "Apple" was a good opportunity!

But "Apple" had too many passionate scenes, which made her hesitate.

Two days ago, she thought of a perfect solution, which was to invite Wan Qingshan to star in "Apple".

But now that Wan Qingshan has refused, she will have to hesitate again.

After hesitating for a moment, Fan Bayi asked unwillingly, "Director Wan, when will you be free next year?"

Wan Qingshan glanced around and saw Gao Yuanyuan walking this way.

"Let's talk about these things later. It's not very convenient to talk about these things now."

At this time, Fan Bayi also saw Gao Yuanyuan walking over, "I was reckless, Director Wan, let's wait until the road show of "Ip Man" and we will find a chance to talk. What do you think?"

Wan Qingshan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let's talk about these things then."

Fan Bayi immediately calmed down in his heart, smiled at Wan Qingshan, and said, "Director Wan, I won't disturb you now. I'll go talk to Zhou Xun."

After Wan Qingshan smiled and nodded slightly, Fan Bayi turned around and walked towards Zhou Xun.

Fan Bayi left, and Wan Qingshan walked down beside him, and then chatted with Gao Yuanyuan who had just walked over.

After a few small words, Wan Qingshan and Gao Yuanyuan stopped chatting. The premiere of "Ip Man" was about to begin.

,,,,,

In the opinion of Jiang Zhiqiang and Columbia, the box office of "Ip Man" in North America was too far from expectations, and it failed at the box office.

But from the perspective of mainland audiences, "Ip Man" was a box office hit in North America.

Every year, several Chinese-language films are released in North America. Before the release, there are praises one after another, but afterwards, there are no news reports about low box office figures.

Therefore, in the eyes of the audience, "Ip Man" was a box office hit in North America.

As a result, a large number of viewers came to the premiere, and many people bought high-priced scalper tickets to watch the premiere.

Jiang Zhiqiang paid special attention to the domestic release of "Ip Man" because the box office of "Ip Man" in North America was not as good as expected.

If the domestic box office is still mediocre, then Zhang Jin has neither broken into Hollywood nor become popular domestically, and has not developed a certain box office appeal, then all the previous cultivation will be in vain.

Therefore, at the premiere of "Ip Man", Jiang Zhiqiang invited a number of Hong Kong stars to perform on stage. Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung were both invited to sing on stage.

A number of Hong Kong celebrities took the stage to sing, which made the audience gasp in surprise.

The audience only wanted to watch a movie, but they didn't expect to hear so many big stars singing.

There were so many performing stars singing on stage that it made the premiere feel like a concert with stars.

Especially when Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung went on stage to sing, many audience members shouted!

After Jacky Cheung stepped down, the performance ended. The host, Sa Beining, just came on stage, and suddenly-'Li Ming! '

The shouts from the audience made Sa Beining stunned for a moment, and then he pretended to be proud and smiled,
"Friends from the audience, Li Ming is not here, but if you think of me as Li Ming, I will be very happy. I used to be called Xiao Li Ming in school. I sing like Li Ming and look more like him. Li Ming."

"Ha ha!"

"Li Ming!"

,,,,
In the audience, bursts of laughter and shouts of "Li Ming" suddenly came from the audience.

In front, many celebrities could not help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

"Hearing your voices makes me feel that I am no longer Xiao Li Ming, but the real Li Ming.

At this time, I really want to sing "Meet Me in the Rain" for everyone, but unfortunately, this is the premiere of "Ip Man" and everyone is here to watch the movie.

Let’s save “Meet Me in the Rain” for when I give a concert. "

After this interlude, Sa Beining praised "Ip Man" from all aspects according to the prepared hosting script, and then the movie started.

As soon as the movie was released, Wan Qingshan felt a little sleepy. He got up early this morning to prepare for the last few scenes of "Unfortunate Love". After filming, he rushed to attend the premiere of "Ip Man".

Apart from squinting for a while on the plane, I didn't take much rest, which made me feel sleepy after sitting for a long time.

"Wan Dao!"

Listening to the voice in his ears, the confused Wan Qingshan immediately came over with surprise.

"Director Wan, a reporter found out." Fan Bayi, who was standing beside him, moved his lips slightly.

Wan Qingshan turned his head slightly and found that there were actually two reporters looking at him at the far left rear.

Seeing that the two reporters were not holding their cameras, Wan Qingshan didn't take it seriously.

As long as he didn't take pictures and reported casually, even if he was interviewed about this matter and he didn't admit to sleeping and only said that he was deep in thought, the reporter didn't refute it.

Because a reporter found out, Wan Qingshan didn't dare to sleep anymore. He turned his attention to the screen and found that the scene in the teahouse was playing.

"I only fell asleep for a few minutes!" Wan Qingshan muttered in his heart.

Wan Qingshan always couldn't stand watching the movies he shot, because every scene was in his mind, and he had no desire to watch it.

Wan Qingshan watched for a few minutes, then deserted again. He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Ye Xuan, telling him to be ready next year to take over Jiahe Cinema Line.

Not long after sending the message, Ye Nuan responded to the text message and asked what Wanqingshan's requirements were for the disposal of Jiahe Cinema Line?
After Wan Qingshan and Ye Nuan exchanged more than a dozen text messages, clarifying the matter about Jiahe Cinema Line, Wan Qingshan thought about it and sent Ye Nuan another text message.

'From now on, any movie that Chen Kexin invests in or shoots will be cut and scheduled for me, and the screening venue will be arranged for me until the morning. '

'Wan Dao, this,,,'

Wan Qingshan frowned and was about to reply to the text message, but Ye Xuan sent another text message.

'Understood, I will do it, Director Wan. '

Wan Qingshan took one look and put away his phone.

In Wanqingshan, I was suffering a little and couldn't sit still. After an hour, "Ip Man" was finished.

Then, under the applause of the audience and the stars in front, Sa Beining walked onto the stage.

"Although this applause is for "Ip Man", I happened to be on stage, so I always have the illusion that this applause is for me."

'Crack! '

,,,

,,,

,,,

As soon as Sa Beining finished speaking, the audience applauded even more enthusiastically.

"Wow, thank you for your applause. Since everyone is so enthusiastic, please prepare to applaud.

Everyone applauded and invited the main creative staff of "Ip Man" to the stage. "

Amid applause from the audience, Wan Qingshan and Zhang Jin came on stage.

What follows is just like a normal movie premiere, a set of professional lies, professional praise from a group of celebrities, and then the premiere ends.

After the premiere, Wan Qingshan invited Jiang Zhiqiang to a nearby hotel for dinner, along with Zhang Weiping and Wang Changtian.

At the wine table, Wan Qingshan did not make a mistake, and he and Jiang Zhiqiang did not return until they were drunk.

Then - before finishing a glass of wine, Jiang Zhiqiang looked at Wan Qingshan lying on the table, a little dumbfounded.

Although I knew Wanqingshan couldn't drink, I didn't expect him to be so bad. He fell down before finishing a glass.

Wan Qingshan was already lying down. Jiang Zhiqiang could only ask the driver to come up and take Wan Qingshan back to the hotel while they continued drinking.

When it was almost noon the next day, Wan Qingshan woke up and lay on the bed for a while.

After his head felt a little better, he got up, packed his things, and returned to his courtyard.

Because he would be staying in the capital for a long time in the next period, Wan Qingshan found a job as a terminal worker to clean the courtyard while he went to Qingshan Film and Television Company.

In Qingshan Film and Television Company, I took out the film of "Awkward Love" that Li Yancheng carefully stored and went to the post-production stage of China Film.
