Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 334 Looking Up and Seeing the Big Dipper

"Okay, then I'll call him here for you this afternoon."

Jiang Wen patted his chest and made a promise.

But then he took a step forward and said mysteriously, "If you want to use him, there is one thing I need to tell you. I can't guarantee whether it is true or not. I just heard it."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"You know "The Story of the Editorial Department", right?"

"I know! I've watched a few episodes. It's a pretty good sitcom!" Huang Ze nodded. "Is there something going on here?"

“It’s so busy!”

Jiang Wen slapped his thigh.

"Originally, six people came out to write the script, including Wang Shuo, Zheng Xiaolong, Zhu Xiaoping, Wei Dongsheng and others. Except for Feng Xiaogang, they are all well-known figures in the literary and film circles."

"We all worked together to write this script, but it happened just as the art center was moving." Jiang Wen clapped his hands, then spread his hands, "The script was lost."

"We just asked them to rewrite the script. Everyone else had other things to do and didn't want to do it, so Wang Shuo was the only one who was in charge. Then Xiaogang stepped forward and said he could write it. He had memorized most of it, and within a few days, the script was ready."

"Feng Xiaogang became the only other screenwriter, and I heard that the script he later wrote and restored was almost exactly the same."

"I don't know what to say. Maybe he just has a good memory."

Jiang Wen curled his lips, "Then a few days later, I found the script again."

"That's quite smart! He knows how to seize the opportunity." Huang Ze laughed and only said this one thing, and he didn't feel too disgusted with him.

You are not on the same level as others. If you want to stand out, you naturally have to seize the opportunity.

If there are no opportunities, we must naturally create opportunities and seize them.

"That's right, but everyone is just too lazy to care, otherwise who wouldn't suspect that he was the one behind this?"

"Hey, enough talking. I must bring the person to you, Brother Huang, this afternoon!"

……

Jiang Wen is quite reliable.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door. When the door was opened, it was Jiang Wen and a man in his thirties with a pointed chin, buck teeth and monkey cheeks.

It was Feng Xiaogang.

"Hey, Director Huang!"

Feng Xiaogang grinned, revealing his rotten teeth, "I've heard a lot about you! I was wondering if I'd see magpies chirping on the branches when I went out today. It was like I was looking up and seeing the Big Dipper!"

"Oh?" Huang Ze held Feng Xiaogang's hand and asked with a smile, "How many stars are there in the Big Dipper?"

“……” Feng Xiaogang was a little stuck.

He knew instantly that Huang Ze must have heard about him.

Maybe it was Jiang Wen next to him who said that.

Turning around, I saw Jiang Wen trying to hold back his laughter.

Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Two, how many more?"

"But you must be the brightest one!" Feng Xiaogang immediately complimented Huang Ze.

This was the best solution he could think of instantly.

Although it might offend Wang Shuo, after thinking about it, it shouldn't be a big deal. In front of that group of people, at most I would just be a joke for them, and it would be just a fun thing to do while drinking and eating.

Didn't they do this often before? At most, I could just let them laugh at me for a while.

There was nothing he could do, because he was born in a rich family. His father was just a teacher, and his starting point was too far behind. He wanted to force himself into the circle of others and learn skills, so he had already cultivated his face to the extreme.

But if I offend Huang Ze, then the opportunity will be completely gone.

Huang Ze specifically asked him to come here, he must want him to join the new film crew, he can't just ask him to be an actor, right?
In his opinion, working with director Huang Ze is definitely an opportunity to rise to the top.

Don't lose face.

He had heard people say that the man in front of him liked best to invest in movies for assistant directors, such as Wang Jiawei and Liu Zhenwei from Hong Kong Island, who were both assistant directors and became famous as directors.

In the mainland, there is Zhang Yimou who worked as a photographer for the film before filming Red Sorghum, and there is also Zhang Jianya, who even made horror films in Hollywood.

With so many real-life examples in front of him, it was hard for him not to be tempted.

"Hahaha, it's passed, it's passed." Huang Ze patted Feng Xiaogang's arm and invited the two into the room.

"sit."

"Actually, you should be able to guess what I'm going to do when I come to you."

"I plan to shoot a movie in Beijing next year or the year after. How about you be one of my assistant directors? Are you interested?"

"You are very interested. I am honored!" Feng Xiaogang nodded repeatedly. "It's just that I am at the Art Center now. I still need to apply for leave. I don't know how long it will take."

"Hey, that's not a problem!" Huang Ze waved his hand.

When I came back to film this time, considering that I was filming in Beijing, I did not look for Shanghai Film Studio, and my domestic partner became China Film.

This kind of thing is not difficult for them.

Since they have also benefited from the domestic distribution rights, they naturally have to contribute.

If you can't even do such a small thing, what's the point?

"Then I have no problem." Feng Xiaogang stretched out his hands again, looking flattering. "You, Director Huang, have always been my idol. I will finally be able to work with you in the future. I will definitely work hard."

"Yeah!" Huang Ze nodded slightly, "Do a good job. If I find that you are really doing a good job, and you have creative ideas in the future, I can also invest in you to make a few films, just like Jiang Wen."

"Oh, thank you so much." Feng Xiaogang felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up.

Director!
That’s the director!

He was drooling with envy, but he had no chance of getting the director's position!

Damn it, I’m going to give it my all this time and make sure I perform well.

For the director!

For my own movie, Feng Xiaogang!
Thinking about the expressions of those people he had flattered before when his movie was released, Feng Xiaogang felt refreshed, "Director Huang, today I finally understand what it means to be appreciated."

"I must treat you to a meal!"

"I'm in the hotel. Do you need me to treat you? I'll treat you two."

……

The assistant director Oh made the decision, and over the next few days, other crew members personally named by Huang Ze also rushed to the capital one by one.

The lighting was done by Kang Xiaotian, the music was done by Zhao Jiping, and the art director was Huang Ze, considering that "Rush Hour" did not have much artistic value, so he asked Zhang Shuping to come and do the art director.

As for the photographer, old friend Gu Changwei, there was no doubt about it. The other party didn't say much nonsense and agreed after receiving Huang Ze's call.

When I saw him, I could obviously see that he looked a little haggard.

"What's wrong? I feel so exhausted!"

"What's wrong?" Gu Changwei was indescribably melancholy. "I'm jealous! Yimou also ran away. I don't care. I'll follow you from now on."
