Chapter 424 Cao Tianwang who missed the famous scene of the Golden Horse

Beijing, Sanlitun Bar
"Brother Bo is here."

In the evening, when there were no people there, the bartender saw Huang Bo at a glance, and immediately greeted him with a smile. Huang Bo replied with a smile, and then walked up to a thin man who was waving at him.

"Okay, Bo'er, I'm quite familiar with the place, do you come here often?"

"Hi, I've sold songs here before, colleague."

Although in 2003, Huang Bo became popular because of "When a Man Is in Love", but these days there are few film and television projects, and it is difficult for young actors who are alone to take on the show.

So during the class at Nortel, in order to earn more money, I have never forgotten my old job in my spare time.

It wasn't until after participating in "Tomorrow's Star", formally signing a contract with Fanxing, and having a fixed announcement income, that I completely bid farewell to my singing career.

"What are you doing recently? You didn't come out when I called you last time."

"There is a play, I just got a role."

"Movies and TV series? Good guy, this star is so awesome. After you signed the contract, the announcements haven't stopped."

Speaking of this, Huang Bo couldn't help but sigh: "It's all just busywork, at most it's just a third male in a TV series."

"Virtue."

The skinny man curled his lips, but his expression was serious: "Speaking of business, I need your help this time."

Huang Bo is still very loyal: "You say, if you can help, you will definitely help..."

"You also know about this. Didn't I save a script with someone before, and now I'm going to attract investment for filming. I want to ask, do you know any high-level executives in your company and help you make connections."

"High level?"

Huang Bo hesitated for a moment, and took a sip of his glass of wine: "Xiaojun, we brothers don't talk nonsense, you know me too, not long after joining Fanxing, the senior leaders do know each other, but they don't necessarily pay attention to me.

But if you trust me, give me the book, and I'll pass it to a producer I know who can speak to the above. "

"How is your relationship with him?"

"Tie Ci, when I played "When a Man Is in Love", he went to Nortel to find me. After joining Fanxing this time, half of the roles were won by him for me."

"Look at this, I'll call the director over, and you invite this one over as well, let's talk together, whether it works or not is another matter, it's considered a friend."

"Row."

Huang Bo nodded. He might be a little hesitant to change someone else. The Yue Xiaojun in front of him is an old friend and has a good relationship, so he is willing to make a connection.

"Brother Liu, I, Boer..."

Three hours later, after the group finished their meal, Yue Xiaojun proposed to have fun together, so he found a regular pedicure shop, and chatted while massaging their feet.

"Director Ning, Xiaojun, leave this matter to me, and I, Liu Tenghui, still have some face in the company.

Don't talk about my old Liu Chui, if you don't believe me, ask Bo Er, the company will undergo major adjustments in the next year, and I will most likely be promoted to the deputy director of the film and television production department. "

Liu Denghui's face was flushed, his eyes were slightly drunk, and he was bragging with a few people. Huang Bo and the others looked at each other, agreeing and agreeing, with a little surprise in their eyes.

Fanxing is currently the leading company in the mainland film and television industry, and the film and television production department is in charge of the company's related film and television production.

The high-level structure of Fanxing Company is general manager - vice president - department director - deputy director.

Except for some special departments, this model is basically the same, and the film and television production department is an important department of Fanxing, and the department director is directly served by the vice president.

In other words, if Liu Denghui can become the deputy director of the Fanxing Film and Television Department, the scope of power and the resources used will be greatly expanded.

Although many important joints cannot be managed, some non-important affairs and side issues have a very high degree of autonomy.

For the current Huang Bo and others, this is quite enough, and it can barely be regarded as a thick leg.

"Brother Liu, is there a big change in the company this time?"

Compared to Yue Xiaojun and Yue Xiaojun's pure surprise, Huang Bo was still a little apprehensive when he heard about the big adjustment, after all, it was very likely to be affected.

"I heard it's pretty big."

Liu Denghui glanced at several technicians, asked them to rest for a while, and then said quietly.

"Where did you say that, don't spread it randomly."

"Don't worry, we are keeping our mouths tight."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if it's strict or not. The company has already started to get rid of some scum who eat meat and eat vegetarian food."

As I said before, from 1997 to the present, Fanxing has been established for seven years, from a grassroots team back then to a leading film and television leader in the mainland.

During this period, some people left and some stayed. At the same time, as the company expanded, there were also many employees who filled their pockets, deceived their superiors and deceived their subordinates, and waited to die.

Cao Xuan is going to do a big cleanup at the important juncture of Fanxing's relocation, mainly targeting the management personnel.

Some people leave, some are promoted or demoted, and many positions are vacated, and employees with capital naturally want to go further.

Speaking of this, Liu Denghui suddenly felt that they were trading behind the scenes today, as if they had committed a taboo, so he hurried back to make up for it.

"I also heard your story just now, good book, I think there is a chance, if it doesn't work, I will introduce you to Guolan.

The investment review threshold over there is lower than that of Fanxing. If you repackage your notebook, it won't be a big problem. "

"Guo Lan?"

Yue Xiaojun and the two were a little confused, and Huang Bo helped explain: "It is also our boss's company, which mainly invests in film and television, and Fanxing pays more attention to quality.

The two roles I took on before were casts invested by Guolan, and the actors of our company can have certain priority. "

"In the words of our boss, Fanxing wants face, Guolan wants face, one is famous and brand-building, and the other is purely making money." Liu Denghui added.

It was only then that Yue Xiaojun and the two suddenly realized, and they couldn't help feeling: "Boss Cao...is very thoughtful."

Another technician was called to massage his feet. Liu Denghui felt dizzy and went upstairs to rest. Huang Bo and others stayed behind to talk together.

"I'm sorry to trouble you this time. I'll treat you in two days. Let's get together."

Ning Hao gave Huang Bo a cigarette, and Huang Bo was not polite: "I don't talk about this between Xiaojun and I, but to be honest, your book is really good. If there is a suitable role later, I will also play a role." .”

"Good to say."

Ning Hao readily agreed, and also confided in his heart: "Actually, Xiaojun and I have been running this film for a long time, from China Film, Shanghai Film, and other film and television companies.

Frankly speaking, the book is quite promising, but there are too many requirements, which directly affect the script, and Xiaojun and I can't bear it.

I had a chat with Tianmu of Xiangjiang, which is the company of Liu Tianwang, who did not interfere with the filming, but only agreed to give 300 million, while our film budget is 500 million to 600 million.

I also know that Fan Xing seldom accepts external scripts, but I still want to give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we will agree with Liu Tianwang and make more filming. "

Ning Hao said it very embarrassingly. Speaking of it, he is also a very talented director. He has won many awards since his debut, and now he even serves as the executive director of a TV series starring Chen Daoming.

However, there are too many young directors with certain resumes and talents.

There are only so many resources in the film and television industry, those well-known directors accounted for more than 90% of the plate, and all the new directors snapped up the remaining 10%.

There are hundreds of thousands of Beidiao who are engaged in art careers in the capital. There is no shortage of actors who pursue their dreams, let alone directors who dream.

Even if you are talented, if you want to stand out, you must have the support of noble people...

Ning Hao has made it this far by himself, and he is already very good. Other directors can't get millions of investment. Although he nodded and smiled, he still has the right to "choose fat and thin".

To put it bluntly, go to the vicinity of Nortel and yell, and promise to invest 100 million, so that the director will sell his ass and someone will do it.

Probably because of Huang Bo's righteousness and help, Ning Hao and Yue Xiaojun were a little distracted.

Telling about the pain and aggrievedness of attracting investment recently, Huang Bo also remembered the hard work of the running field in the early years.The few men who were standing close together chatted more and more speculatively, and couldn't help ordering drinks, planning to take the opportunity to have another game.

As soon as he opened the beer, he saw Liu Denghui wearing shorts and a bath towel, and ran down in a hurry.

Huang Bo raised his hand and looked at his watch, with admiration on his face: "Brother Liu is fine, it's almost an hour."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Liu Denghui cursed, and looked at Ning Hao: "I remember correctly, your name is Ning Hao, right?"

Ning Hao was a little dazed, he had never been to this store before, so there shouldn't be any emotional conflict, so he nodded blankly.

"correct."

"That movie you made was called Crazy Stone."

"Yes, didn't you read the script just now?"

Huang Bo saw something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Liu?"

Liu Denghui touched the sweat on his forehead, felt the air-conditioning, and tightened the towel tightly: "Secretary Hu called me just now and asked me to find Ning Hao, saying that the boss was looking for him to invest."

"Boss, Cao Xuan?"

"Otherwise who else could it be?"

"How does he know Director Ning's script?"

"Where do I know where to go?"

Liu Denghui glared at Huang Bo angrily: "I went up to finish changing clothes, let's go now, then we said that we had an appointment to read the script, and we happened to bump into each other."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and left. Just two steps away, Liu Denghui stepped back and said, "Remember, we were chatting in the restaurant."

.........

Half an hour later, several people came to Fanxing Building in Liu Denghui's Santana.

Liu Denghui made two phone calls, looked at Ning Hao and Yue Xiaojun: "The boss is working overtime today to wait for you, follow me."

Huang Bo pointed to himself: "What about me."

"Come along too."

Liu Denghui and Huang Bo had a really good relationship, and they didn't forget to give brothers a hand when they were doing their best. They took the elevator to the top floor, and under the leadership of the secretary, they knocked on the door of Cao Xuan's office.

"Come in."

Hearing Cao Xuan's voice through the microphone at the door, the secretary opened the door. Except for Liu Denghui, the other people who saw Cao Xuan's company for the first time were stunned.

Then he saw Cao Xuan who was standing in the open space, dancing with a Yan Ling knife.

Seeing a few people coming in, Cao Xuan held up his saber, put the saber back into its sheath neatly, and greeted a few people.
"Next year there will be a play, practice privately, sit down, and drink something."

"It will be all right."

"Let's have some tea, it was given by a friend before, it's authentic Tieguanyin."

"Boss, I'm coming."

Liu Denghui, who was coaxed by the bully before, took over the secretary's job at this time, fetched tea under Cao Xuan's command, and made tea for everyone in a decent manner.

Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten about Huang Bo, so he offered to help, but Ning and Yue were a little uncomfortable with the sudden change, and wanted to help, but Liu Denghui pressed him down.

Just now he was Brother Liu, whom the two wanted, with the highest natural posture. Now that Ning and Yue are Cao Xuan's guests, the environment and timing are different, and the posture and behavior also have to change.

Cao Xuan didn't pay attention to it, and didn't bother to care about these little tricks, so he let Rang Cha take the initiative to explain.

"Before, Director Han of China Film Group recommended your book to me. I also read the outline of the electronic manuscript. I really have an idea. Is the inspiration from Guy Ritchie's "Two Smoking Barrels"?"

One sentence from Cao Xuan pointed out the source of the biggest selling point of "Crazy Stone", and it also made Ning and Hao realize that Cao Xuan is not some local boss who doesn't know how to pretend to know.

He is the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers actor + film and television giant, not to mention watching all the movies, well-known movies at home and abroad should know, the professional level is not comparable to outsiders.

"The plot structure and narrative mode are indeed taken from "Two Smoking Barrels", but we changed it to a local story in the mountain city..."

Ning Hao realized that the next thing is very important. Whether he can impress Cao Xuan and get what he wants depends entirely on his next performance, so he held his breath, restrained his emotions, and told his vision about "Crazy Stone".

Although Cao Xuan has seen the finished product of "Crazy Stone" several times in Goldfinger, he still wants to know the director's thinking.

Listening quietly all the time, drinking tea occasionally.

I have to say that Ning Hao is not only a good director, but also has a good eloquence.

Being able to tell the story of "Crazy Stone" ups and downs with one mouth, with great pictures and a sense of humor, no wonder he was able to get Liu Tianwang's investment, and even Han Sanye spoke for him.

Ning Hao talked for nearly 40 minutes at a stretch, Yue Xiaojun checked and made up for him, and Cao Xuan listened with his legs crossed.

Liu Denghui and Huang Bo watched the excitement nearby, boiling tea and pouring water from time to time, watching the conversation silently.

After Ning Hao had said almost everything, his voice was slightly hoarse, Cao Xuan nodded and said.

"I kind of know about the project."

Ning Hao swallowed and looked at Cao Xuan nervously: "Then your idea is..."

"No hurry, who are you going to find as the lead actor?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet. Bao Shihong is more optimistic about Sun Honglei."

Cao Xuan was noncommittal, "Crazy Stone" is a group drama, and there are not many suitable star actors except Huang Bo, and Cao Xuan doesn't care about forcing people. Compared with movies, he actually values ​​Ning Hao more.

"Just now I heard from Deng Hui that you are running the Shan Gang now?"

"It's not a single gang, but it's true that they didn't sign the company."

"I think you two brothers are very talented, are you interested in joining Fanxing?"

"what?"

Ning Hao and Ning Hao were stupid when they were asked, but Huang Bo reacted quickly and bumped Ning Hao with his elbow.

"What are you doing in a daze, Bole is right in front of you, why don't you thank the boss."

Ning and Hao were a little hesitant. After all, the signing was not a deal, and the two of them didn't reach that point. Cao Xuan also understood, and waved his hand to stop the "anxious" Huang Bo.

"Okay, stop acting."

Then he looked at Ning Hao sincerely: "I voted for "Crazy Stone", Deng Hui is the producer, and the budget is 600 million. According to the rules, the company will review the project, but as long as it does not involve some special circumstances, it will not Interfering too much with you.

At the same time, you should go back and think about joining Fanxing. If you have any doubts, you can ask Deng Hui and Huang Bo.

We Fanxing still offer generous remuneration and benefits to contracted directors. If you have the strength and talent, we Fanxing have the ability and resources to make you the next old Mouzi. "

The arrogance of what Cao Xuan said made both Ning Hao and Ning Hao uncontrollably upset.

They also really understand that Fanxing has huge funds and abundant resources, and what it lacks is top talents who can stand alone. As long as they can show their skills, Fanxing will become the best platform to shine.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, I will definitely consider this matter carefully and give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, think slowly, I will wait for you."

Cao Xuan is very confident. So far, Fanxing has a huge advantage compared to other film and television companies. As long as Ning Hao is not stupid, he will not invest elsewhere.

Not to mention that Cao Xuan is still his bole at this time, so his natural feelings are biased...

Ten minutes later, Cao Xuan personally escorted Ning Hao and the others into the elevator before turning back.

But here, when the elevator door closed, Yue Xiaojun collapsed several centimeters, with lingering fear in his heart
"Mr. Cao's aura is too strong, and my legs are shaking a little now."

Ning Hao couldn't help nodding. He had been in the office for more than an hour just now, and his emotions had been tense. Now when he came out, he found that his underwear was soaked in cold sweat from his back.

Huang Bo spent a little longer with Cao Xuan, and said with emotion: "Actually, the boss is very easy-going when filming privately, but when he arrives at the company, I don't know whether it's because of the aura or the environment. He just feels very dignified, and I feel a little nervous." fear."

"It's good to get used to it. You haven't held a meeting with him. The vice presidents of our company are among the top bosses outside. They were scolded by him at the meeting like the third grandson, and they dare not refute a word. "

Liu Denghui couldn't hold back his words, then straightened his expression, and stretched out his hand to Ning Hao.

"Director Ning, no matter what you say, we two brothers are really destined today. If we offended you before, please forgive me. We will work together as a crew in the future, and I hope you can help us a lot."

Ning Hao hurriedly held out his hand to hold Liu Denghui: "Brother Liu, you are welcome, today is thanks to your help, so I think there is still some time, why don't we catch a second game."

"no problem."

Liu Denghui patted his chest proudly: "But this time, I will pay for all the expenses. I finished the pedicure earlier, so let's take a bath."

.........

Cao Xuan didn't know that some of his subordinates went to Hu Tianhu, cleaned up, he also got off work, and then returned home on time.

If those old-fashioned critics from the outside world who admire Cao Daguan's sensuality, know that Cao Xuan's real nightlife is so boring, they don't know how speechless they are.

But Cao Xuan didn't bother to talk to them, and went home by car to eat the dinner prepared by the nanny.

Zeng Damei was still filming in Xinwu, but the empress of Donggong was at home, sitting on the bed and using her laptop to surf the Internet.

Cao Xuan took a shower, changed into pajamas, got into bed, and the empress of the East Palace skillfully lay down in his arms, pointing to the computer screen.

"Look, your fans are complaining about you?"

"What's wrong?"

"Golden Horse Award."

"Let me see."

At the beginning of December, this year’s Golden Horse Awards Ceremony was held. Cao Xuan has two films shortlisted, one is the big winner of the summer file "Embroidered Spring Knife", and the other is the box office champion of the National Day file. .

Among them, Cao Xuan was shortlisted for "Best Actor" with "Embroidered Spring Knife", and was nominated for the second time as Golden Horse Best Actor.

It is worth mentioning that A Xuan played by Cao Xuan in "New Police Story" was shortlisted for "Best Supporting Actor" and is the most popular.

But Cao Xuan didn't think he was a supporting role, so he proposed a correction to the Golden Horse Awards, which resulted in Ah Xuan's failure to win the "Best Supporting Actor". The award was finally won by Mr. Jin Shijie who played Wei Zhongxian from the "Embroidered Spring Knife" crew.

And Cao Xuan also lost to the crew of "Infernal Affairs" for the second time in the best actor contest. The last time was Liang Chaowei, and this time it was Liu Tianwang.

It is worth mentioning that in April this year, the Best Actor of Hong Kong Film Awards was also won by Liu Tianwang with "Big Man and Great Wisdom".

I don't know if there is any compensating factor for Liu Tianwang's overall defeat because of last year's "Liang Liu Zhengxiong".

In the same year, he was awarded the Golden Statue and the Golden Horse, and the box office of "House of Flying Daggers" starring in the summer vacation exceeded 11 million. The starring movie "A World Without Thieves" released in November is also raging. It seems that it is not difficult to exceed [-] million.

With two movie stars and two movies with a box office of over [-] million yuan, Liu Tianwang's movie career this year can be described as the pinnacle.

That is to say, Cao Xuan, who has won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers double grand slam, can be compared with the same two starring movies.

However, this time the Golden Horse Best Actor contest still caused some controversy, mainly aimed at "New Police Story" Ah Xuan.

This role was so good that it was considered the best actor before the announcement of the Golden Horse Awards, but because of the supporting role incident, it failed to win the award.

The media took the opportunity to make trouble, thinking that the Golden Horse Award was suppressing Cao Xuan, Cao Xuan's fans refused to accept it, and once set off a scolding war with Liu Tianwang's fans.

The Golden Horse Best Actor was caught in a turmoil, and Liu Tianwang's Golden Actor was actually controversial. At that time, it was generally believed that Wu Zhenyu in "Infernal Affairs 2" was more promising.

Cao Xuan is not particularly disappointed personally, he knows that although the role of Ah Xuan in "New Police Story" is extremely wonderful, but the role is too bad, the chance of winning the award will be discounted.

It's not that he didn't think about being a supporting actor before, but later he felt that he would rather not win an award than a supporting actor.

He is now the only one in the mainland who can compete with the top actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan. There are many things that cannot be compromised. This is the case this time. He may not win the award, but he cannot be overwhelmed.

Cao Xuan looked at the post of [Hemerocallis Flower Bar] on the computer, and many fans were filled with righteous indignation, angrily denouncing the Golden Horse Award and Liu Tianwang.

"You don't care?"

Hu Jing raised her head and asked, Cao Xuan calmed down: "Don't worry about it, it's okay to make trouble, so as not to think that I have no temper."

"What do you mean? Doesn't that guy have a good relationship with you?"

"I have a good relationship with him, but it's hard to talk about what's behind him. Let's take it easy and wait until I finish filming "New World"."

Cao Xuan sneered, he wanted to come to the mainland to beg for food, but he secretly caused trouble, and they got stuck on their knees begging for mercy when he was not in the theater next year. He took their surname.

Speaking of which, Cao Xuan did not attend the awards ceremony this time because of the supporting role incident, but missed two famous scenes.

One is that Cai Kangyong, who was scolded for molesting Liu Tianwang last year, publicly apologized, and the other is that sister Zhiling left the circle.

At the awards ceremony, they gave Liu Tianwang and Liang Chaowei a loving hug, and the clip sounded "Come on, come on".

People who will be able to see it in later generations have three rooms and one living room with their toes, but in the eyes of those who have not been bombarded by Internet celebrities, this sister is fresh and refined, cute and intellectual, with extremely long legs. She instantly went out of the circle and became famous.

However, Cao Xuan personally doesn't like this sister Zhiling very much. He actually prefers the dark version of Mr. Boduo...

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan found a video on the Internet, and watched the famous scene with Hu Jing.

As a woman, Hu Jing is even more uncomfortable with this situation, and even imagines that goosebumps arise,

"It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise she would definitely have to hug you too, hey..."

"I slapped her aside with a slap and hugged me? Isn't this a hooligan, just to catch the heat?"

Having said that, Cao Xuan took a few glances at sister Zhiling's dress, which was faintly visible.

He felt that he could take back what he said just now. Although this one is naughty and pinched, he still has a good figure. Although the dark version is wild, his temperament is slightly inferior.
