Chapter 363 Difficult Brothers and Difficult Brothers

The end of the new year means that the tedious New Year greetings are about to begin.

At Wu Jianye's current position, not only did the number of people who need to pay New Year's greetings not decrease, but it even increased a lot. The elders I knew before would naturally have to go, and the elders I met new must also be there.

So during this period of time, no matter whether it is the Yan Film Factory compound, the Chinese Opera compound, or other compound, you can see a gray jeep shuttle.

The choice of gifts is also very particular. For those teachers who are purely performing artists, such as Chen Wei, Ge Cun, and Ma Jingwu, they should focus on some slightly more expensive nutritional products. Compared with Xia Yan, Zhao Ming, Teachers like Lin Nong and Cen Fan are not nutrition products, but some gadgets that suit their needs, and they should not be too expensive.

When it comes to the level of Mr. Zhao Department and Mr. Wang Lanxi, it is even simpler. A few bags of Zhengmingzhai pastries and some fruits are enough. You must not give them too expensive things. The relationship is complicated.

"Old Wang, Happy New Year!"

When he came to Mr. Wang Lanxi's home, Wu Jianye looked at the old man with stars on his clothes. All the status he had before was useless in front of these people.

"Xiao Wu is here, you kid, why don't you bring something?" Mr. Wang Lanxi looked a little unhappy when he saw the gift in Wu Jianye's hand.

"Old Wang, it's not something from before, it's just some pastries from Zhengmingzhai and fruits that are currently on the market!" Wu Jianye quickly explained.

Sure enough, when Wang Lao heard that Wu Jianye was only bringing these invaluable gifts, he immediately turned his anger into joy, and let Wu Jianye sit down with a smile.

It's just that on this occasion, how could Wu Jianye really sit still? Instead, he took on the job of serving tea and water to the elderly.

There is no way, these people are real old people who came out of that era. Although they are old now, no matter their own aura or influence, they are beyond Wu Jianye's reach.

Regarding Wu Jianye's behavior, these old people also nodded with a smile, taking it calmly.

Wu Jianye also knew that this was a gathering among their old comrades-in-arms, so he left after staying for a while, but when Wu Jianye left, there was a nearly 60-year-old man wearing glasses and not wearing general clothes. Star clothes, but an old man wearing a Chinese tunic called Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye knew this old man, and he is now a big leader of radio and television.

Last year, the Ministry of Culture officially assigned the Film Bureau to Radio and Television, in order to strengthen the unified leadership and overall planning of film and television. It is led and managed by the local cultural department, so it has formed the phenomenon of "cooperating at the top and not at the bottom". This distorted and cross-management model has caused many difficulties for the leadership and management of the film industry, especially for the macro-management of the film industry. .

The "Last Emperor" filmed by Wu Jianye before was originally completed by the Ministry of Culture, so even though the film bureau was transferred to radio and television later, when it was released, the Ministry of Culture contributed more, which also caused Wu Jian to Ye has never had a chance to meet this great leader.

Of course, if it was an ordinary director in China, he wouldn't even think about it like this, but who made Wu Jianye's status in China get higher and higher now?

The domestic success of the movie "The Last Emperor" has also deepened Wu Jianye's status in the hearts of many leaders, but the most important thing is Wu Jianye's dignified family culture and Xiangjiang Fengge Entertainment, which has become clear in the eyes of these leaders.

This is the capital that Wu Jianye can talk to directly with him!
"Xiao Wu, come to my place when the vacation is over." The big leader didn't say what it was.

But how could Wu Jianye refuse, and quickly said: "Okay, Mr. Ai, I will definitely go there on time!"

There are many people who go to Wu Jianye, and there are also many people who come to him. Needless to say, people like Zhao Lei, Chai Ou, and Chen Ming came here on the first day of the new year.

In the next few days, there were all kinds of friends of Wu Jianye, but the gifts everyone brought were a bit heavy, and they were basically things for newborn children.

However, what made Wu Jianye a little curious was that Jiang Yun hadn't appeared, but the person who should appear would still appear. When Jiang Yun appeared, Wu Jianye knew why Jiang Yun was so late.

"When did you two get married?"

Coming with Jiang Yun is his partner in "Furong Town", Liu Xiaoqing.

Seeing the two holding hands, Wu Jianye knew that the relationship between the two must have already begun. Obviously, the two are still in love during this period, so naturally they don't have time to come to the courtyard.

"I thought you already knew!" Jiang Qian was not polite, and sat directly on the wicker chair in the middle of the yard.

Although Yanjing just finished college two days ago, Wu Jianye and Yan Wen cleaned up the snow in the yard early so that Zhu Zhuan could move freely in the yard.

Originally, Qian Sisi, Yang Weiwei and others built a snowman, but as time passed, the snowman has almost melted now.

"It's too cold outside, let's go inside!" Wu Jianye said.

Yanjing's winter has a chill that invades the bone marrow, especially in the past two years. Although the outside is spacious, it is not as warm as the inside.

"You go to the study to talk, I'll go to the room to see Linlin!" Liu Xiaoqing said with a smile.

Wu Jianye and Jiang Rong walked into the study room, and casually threw a special giant panda to Jiang Rong. When Jiang Rong saw the smoke, he immediately smiled and said, "The grade has improved, and this smoke is rare!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "There's only half of this box left, and I don't want anything after I smoke it!"

The half of the box that was ordered from the Zhao Department before, will be half a box left after the next year.

Jiang Yan lit it, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "It really tastes different."

"Not yet, when did it start?"

"During the filming of "Furong Town"." Jiang Yun was not embarrassed, "I thought you knew it already, didn't you say it in "Popular Movies"?"

"I don't have time to read magazines recently, I've been paying New Year's greetings." Wu Jianye said.

The love affair between Jiang Yun and Liu Xiaoqing can be regarded as the earliest gossip news in the domestic entertainment industry. This is due to Liu Xiaoqing's current popularity in China. With Gong Yun leaving China for Xiangjiang, and Li Xiuming's death, Liu Xiaoqing can already be regarded as a The number one female movie star in the domestic film industry.

And Liu Xiaoqing once had another marriage history, coupled with the age gap between the two, all of which made their love affair the most lively news in the domestic film industry.

After listening to Jiang Yun's description, Wu Jianye couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he and Zhu Zhuan got married early. Otherwise, what happened to him at the beginning would definitely become big news if it were put into the present.

"Then what are you going to do?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.

Jiang Yun said nonchalantly: "I don't care what they think, I have to get their consent to fall in love myself!"

Wu Jianye gave Jiang Yun a thumbs up.

Although the relationship between the two did not come to the end, but they did not stage a tearing battle after breaking up like those couples or husbands and wives in the entertainment circle of later generations.

On the contrary, even if they broke up, the two have always maintained a good friendship. For example, Jiang Yun was able to make his first movie "Sunny Day" because Liu Xiaoqing helped him contact Xiangjiang Capital, that is, in "Da Nei The one who played Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows in Secret Agent Linglingfa.

Later, for reasons known to everyone, when Liu Xiaoqing went in, Jiang Yun also went to see her in person.

"When is the movie going to be released?" Wu Jianye asked.

Jiang Yun showed a tangled expression: "Oh, don't mention it, something happened!"

Wu Jianye looked at Jiang Yun curiously, and asked, "What's the matter, according to the influence of director Xie Jin, this movie shouldn't have too many problems?"

It turned out that on the eve of the Spring Festival, "Furong Town" began to be screened in Shanghai, Yanjing and other cities. With the expansion of the scope of the screen, there were more and more criticisms about the film.Some people think that this film is discrediting socialism and advocate that it should be banned immediately.In order to avoid trouble, Xie Jin processed some scenes in the film before and after the trial screening. Although the film was supported by the Shanghai Film Bureau, when the film retrospective was held in Yanjing, the film selected by Shanghai "Furong Town" was "shot".

".Director Xie Jin is in Yanjing now, scratching his head over this matter!" Jiang Yun said.

Wu Jianye spread his hands and said, "I can't help it. I've read the novel "Furong Town", and some people will definitely be dissatisfied when it's filmed, but according to Director Xie's status in the country, it shouldn't be a big problem. .”

Jiang Yun curled his lips: "Who knows."

But soon, Jiang Yun's troubled brother came.

Chen Kaige came to the courtyard with a dejected look on his face. After seeing Jiang Yun, he simply said hello.

"What's wrong with you? I don't owe you any money for Chinese New Year!" Wu Jianye said helplessly.

"Don't mention it, after Xiying Studio sent me "King of the Kid", it was rejected!" Chen Kaige lit a cigarette decadently, and sat opposite Jiang Yun.

"Haha, you are really brothers and sisters!" Wu Jianye laughed.

Later, Chen Kaige also found out about "Furong Town".

Chen Kaige really comforted Jiang Yun: "It's okay, you don't have to worry so much. According to Director Xie's influence in the country, "Furong Town" should not have a big problem, but "Kid King" is difficult. Bian has complained a lot about Xiying Film Studio, and it is probably even more difficult now."

Jiang Yun said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, this matter is your director's business, it's more comfortable to be an actor!"

Wu Jianye glanced at Jiang Yun, "I don't believe you will always be an actor."

Jiang Yun: "Let's talk about the future, anyway, there is no script I want to shoot now!"

For Jiang Rong, now is really not the time to make a movie, let alone Jiang Rong doesn't want to make a film, even if Jiang Yun wants to make a film, Wu Jianye has to suggest him to wait a few more years.

As for the reason?
Naturally, it is a domestic policy.

At present, the policy of selling copies to earn profits has not been canceled in China, which means that the studios have not directly talked with the distribution companies in cities and counties.

If Jiang Yun's movie is made now, then it will lose money. Jiang Yun's movie is not like Wu Jianye's movie. Although the movie has won awards internationally, how about overseas box office?
In other words, the main box office of this movie is still domestic.

Just this year, domestic calls for further deepening the reform of the film system have become more and more intense.

The film production companies represented by several major film studios in Yanjing and Spring City proposed: 1. Film production companies should expand their independent management rights, and the films they produce are required to directly sell to provincial distribution companies, so as to close the relationship between production and sales. , In fact, some film studios have already begun to automatically form a production and sales alliance with masters and apprentices, forming a distribution network in East China and South China, and so on.

2. Many provincial companies request to change China Film Corporation's practice of isomorphic distribution rights, and implement local self-purchase of distribution rights, so that provincial companies can truly realize the sales method of "self-management and independent accounting".

However, both of these were rejected.
Of course, the radio and television side also considered the wishes of the studio and local distribution companies, and they have been meeting to discuss this matter years ago.

"Director Wu, what do you think over there?" Wu Jianye asked.

When Wu Jianye had dinner with Wu Tianming and others, he had mentioned this matter. At that time, Wu Tianming really did not expect that their worries would really come true.

Chen Kaige said helplessly: "Director Wu, there is nothing you can do about it. You also know that Director Wu offended many people with what he did in Xiying Studio, and he wanted to bypass China Film to form his own distribution Internet, this has made him speechless at China Film, so this time."

Wu Jianye understood that the root cause was here. Lao Mouzi had said at the beginning that he hoped Wu Jianye could help when the time came. Now that something happened, Chen Kaige naturally came here for this matter.

"Well, after the new year, I'll contact Director Liu of China Film Group. As for whether the other party will give me face, I'm not sure!" Wu Jianye said.

Director Liu is Liu Jianshe who participated in "Raise the Red Lantern" at the beginning. Wu Jianye has been in contact with him in the past few years, and the relationship between the brothers who were not very enthusiastic at first has become much stronger now.

Chen Kaige smiled: "Then this matter will trouble you."

Regarding Wu Jianye's influence, Chen Kaige had already seen it when "The Last Emperor" was released, and now that Wu Jianye was willing to help him, he was naturally relieved.

Afterwards, the three of them chatted about movies for a while, and when it was time for lunch, the two of them and Liu Xiaoqing also stayed in the courtyard.

Although he agreed to Chen Kaige's help, after the New Year's holiday, Wu Jianye went to see Mr. Ai first.

In the next few years, if Wu Jianye wanted to develop in domestic film and television, he would naturally be inseparable from the support of Mr. Ai.
