Chapter 731 The top dinner party in the film industry (4100+ chapters, please subscribe~)

When Zhang Yimou heard that Wu Jianye had a suitable candidate, he quickly asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Ge You!"

Just like Zhang Guoyi's Cheng Dieyi, is there anyone in this world who is better suited to play the role of Fugui than Ge You?
Obviously not!

"Li Dongbao?" Zhang Yimou recalled and asked, "Is he okay?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll call you here and you have a look, so you know?"

Regardless of Zhang Yimou's reaction after speaking, Wu Jianye called Ge You and asked him to come to the restaurant, but when he called Wu Jianye, Ge You was drinking with Xie Yuan and Liang Tian, ​​and heard Wu Jianye Ye called them and readily agreed.

Seeing that Wu Jianye had called Ge You, Zhang Yimou didn't ask any further questions, and told Wu Jianye about another matter.

"Fengge Films contacted me for this movie, and they will invest in it. Do you know about this?"

Wu Jianye shook his head, and said: "I really don't know, but Fengge Films should also invest in it. It is basically impossible for this movie to be released in China, so we can only go overseas."

Wu Jianye really doesn't know about this kind of thing. Now that Fengge Films has its own management team, Wu Jianye has long since stopped participating in the specific details. Lao Mouzi's current reputation has not been limited to the domestic One piece, with repeated gains at European film festivals.

His reputation at this time is similar to that of Wu Jianye after filming "Raise the Red Lantern" and "The Last Emperor". He also has a group of loyal fans in Southeast Asia and even Europe. It is also expected that Fengge Films will invest in him among.

In another time and space, both "Farewell My Concubine" and "To Live" are invested by Xiangjiang's film company, "Farewell My Concubine" is invested by Xiangjiang Tomson Films, and "To Live" is invested by Xiangjiang Times Films.

In fact, during this period, many Xiangjiang film companies also set their sights on the domestic film industry. The fact that China has a large population base and great potential is not only known to the reborn, but other people have actually seen it, but These Xiangjiang film companies have not caught up with the good times. The domestic screening business cannot keep up, and the supervision is not strong. In the end, their investment can only go to the overseas literary film market and video tape market, and then slowly give up the domestic film industry. invest.

The most successful one among them is actually "Sunny Day" invested by Fatty Wen. This movie made him the most successful domestic investment among Xiangjiang filmmakers in the 90s.

And Fatty Wen was able to invest in "Sunny Day" was actually recommended by Liu Xiaoqing from the middle.

Zhang Yimou nodded, and said: "The manager of Fengge Films is also very interesting. He originally wanted me to make another movie, but when he heard that I wanted to adapt your novel "To Live", he immediately agreed. , or your reputation is good!"

Wu Jianye chuckled, the other party was obviously flattering him, but there was no need to explain this kind of thing to Zhang Yimou in detail.

At the side, Zhang Guoyi, who had been listening to their conversation, looked at them curiously. Zhang Guoyi had been observing for a long time, and he found that these people chatted very casually together, and did not regard Wu Jianye as a big boss at all. I was quite curious about why they had this attitude, but when I was chatting with Jiang Yun just now, I realized that Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei and others were all classmates.

This made Zhang Guoyi very curious about what kind of school is able to teach so many outstanding film talents in one session.

After learning about their relationship, I just heard them talk about Fengge Films, and found that they didn't know that Wu Jianye was the boss behind Fengge Films, and felt a little curious.

In fact, this is not to blame for Zhang Yimou. Chen Kaige and others do not know that after Wu Jianye integrated Xiangjiang's media industry, he ordered Fengge Media not to report his identity in Xiangjiang. No one mentioned Wu Jianye's achievements in business anymore, and the focus of the report was on Wu Jianye's success in directing.

So Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others didn't know.

There were too many people at the scene, so naturally it wasn't just one person who spoke, the others listened, and Zhang Guoyi had a lively chat with Jiang Yun at this time.

Chen Kaige was chatting with Gu Changwei about the movie, Director Xie Jin took Wu Jianye to drink with him, and Zhang Yimou and Gong Li didn't know what to whisper.

After a while, someone pushed open the door of the private room, everyone looked back and found that Ge You, Xie Yuan, and Liang Tian had arrived.

Zhang Yimou looked more seriously. He naturally knew Ge You. Ge You, who was not yet bald, was wearing a simple cotton coat with a mocking smile on his face.

The three of Ge You are also greeting everyone at this time, Xie Yuan naturally has no sense of unfamiliarity, half of the people here are his classmates, so why be polite, Ge You and Liang Tian are a little jerky Now, here they are only familiar with Wu Jianye, although the others have met a few times, they are not familiar with them.

When Ge You saw so many people in the private room, he was also a little dazed. He thought there were only a few familiar people like Wu Jianye, but he didn't expect there to be so many people, which made him not let go for a while.

In fact, Ge You is such a person, he is very happy in front of familiar friends, but if he has unfamiliar friends, he will appear a little cramped.

Wu Jianye was not polite either, and directly asked them to sit down. Fortunately, Chen Kaige found a larger private room to receive Zhang Guoying this time, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to seat so many people.

Wu Jianye said to Ge You: "Old Mouzi, I am currently preparing a new movie, which is an adaptation of the novel "To Live" I wrote before, and I recommend you to Lao Mouzi!"

When Ge You heard that this was the matter, he was not so polite when chatting with Wu Jianye, and joked: "Yo, then I have to thank you!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I said before that you will definitely become an excellent actor, this time the opportunity has come!"

In fact, Wu Jianye's new movie also seems to be a collaboration with Ge You, but Ge You's image is still a little bit worse, and he is not suitable for the role in the new film, otherwise Ge You will be able to enjoy the joint preferential treatment of the three top directors in advance!
Zhang Yimou didn't speak at this time, he just paid attention to the chat between Wu Jianye and Ge You, and after chatting for a while, he said seriously: "There is no problem with the appearance, as for the performance!"

Wu Jianye chuckled, and said, "Don't worry about that, the people I recommend won't be wrong. Of course, those who should audition still have to audition, and you will know when the time comes!"

Zhang Yimou saw that Wu Jianye was so sure that Ge You was suitable for this role, so he smiled and said: "Okay, let's settle this matter first, Yuzi, let's go to Tangting Culture tomorrow, try some lines for me, if there is no problem, Fugui This role is yours!"

Although the script of "To Live" hasn't come out yet, there is the original novel. If you just pick a few paragraphs from it and change it to dialogues with ordinary characters, there will be no problem!

Ge You hasn't reacted yet at this time, why don't you ask yourself if you want to?

But this time is the time to show Ge You's other two advantages, that is, he will not reject people, and he is very loyal to his buddies!

From Ge You's point of view, Wu Jianye is his buddy, and the movie he recommended must not be wrong, but now that the words have been said, he is too embarrassed to refuse it again!
He had no choice but to smile and said, "Okay, when is the right time for me to go there tomorrow?"

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said, "This afternoon." Then he said to Wu Jianye: "Old Wu, it's okay to lend me Tangting Culture's conference room!"

Wu Jianye scolded: "You've already said that, what else could be wrong!"

At this time, although Zhang Yimou's establishment was still in the West Film Studio, the filming had long since ceased to be related to the West Film Studio. There must be Gong Li's reasons for this. Since Wu Tianming also left the West Film Studio, he naturally has no reason to stay in the West Film Studio!
Chen Kaige saw the three of them finished chatting, and joined in the fun and said: "Yuzi, there is a character in my movie that suits you well, how about it, come and do me a favor too!"

At this time, the drinking party was halfway through, and Chen Kaige had already drunk a lot, otherwise he would definitely not have spoken like this on weekdays!

Ge You said with a smile: "Then you think highly of me, it's just Director Zhang's side!"

Chen Kaige laughed and said, "I'll have to wait for Lao Mouzi's movie. My side is finished, but his side may not be able to set it up!"

If this kind of thing is put on the actors of later generations, they will definitely consider many aspects, such as the salary, the influence of the director, the size of the role, etc., but this kind of thing does not exist in Ge You.

As I said just now, Ge You has a great characteristic, that is, he will not refuse people, so now that Chen Kaige has said so, Ge You naturally cannot refuse.

"Well, if you think highly of me, then I have no problem!" Ge You agreed.

In fact, when Ge You first came in, Chen Kaige fell in love with Ge You, thinking that Ge You was very suitable for Yuan Siye in his movie. Anyway, he snatched Lao Mouzi's female lead, and then took the male lead. If you grab it, there is nothing to say!
Seeing that Ge You agreed, Chen Kaige introduced Zhang Guoying to Ge You, explaining that Zhang Guoying is one of the protagonists of the movie "Farewell My Concubine"!

Xie Yuan asked curiously beside him: "The other leading actor, have you figured out who to find?"

"Farewell My Concubine" is the same as "To Live", both are adapted from novels, and Xie Huan, as a classmate of Chen Kaige, also knew that Chen Kaige was going to shoot this movie, so I still know a little about the content of the movie of.

Chen Kaige smiled and said, "Why, you want to try!"

The two are classmates, and they have collaborated in movies like "King of the Kid" before, so they are very familiar with each other, so they don't have any scruples when speaking.

Xie Yuan shook his head, and said: "Forget it, I have something to do with me. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, I'm still on the set, and I don't have time to go to your side, but I do have a suitable candidate!"

Xie Yuan is currently filming "Shanghai Family" and has no time to participate in Chen Kaige's film.

Chen Kaige asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Xie Yuan smiled and said, "Then you have to toast me a glass of wine and I'll tell you later!"

Chen Kaige didn't refuse either, raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Well, I'll thank you first!"

After the two had finished drinking, Xie Yuan smiled and said, "Zhang Fengyi, I think his image is quite suitable for Duan Xiaolou, and he also has a background in Peking Opera!"

Chen Kaige's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What is Lao Zhang doing now?"

Xie Yuan said: "I made a phone call two days ago, and I'm squinting at home!"

Chen Kaige quickly looked at Wu Jianye, Wu Jianye understood and handed the phone to Chen Kaige.

Chen Kaige took the phone and went out to make a call.

And Wu Jianye introduced Zhang Guoying to Ge You. In fact, they have introduced each other just now, but now Ge You has decided to participate in "Farewell My Concubine", which means that the two will spend a lot of time together in the future , so a re-introduction is also appropriate.

Ge You has this kind of affinity, no matter whether he has known him before or not, when he sees him, he will be attracted by his affinity, even Zhang Guoyi is no exception, so the two just chat After a few words, they warmed up.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun gave up his seat to Ge You, and sat in Ge You's position.

After a while, Chen Kaige came back with the phone.

At this time, Wu Jianye was asking Xie Yuan how the three of them got together.

Xie Yuan smiled and said, "Guess!"

Wu Jianye glanced at Xie Yuan and said, "The three of you also want to set up a film and television company?"

Xie Yuan looked at Wu Jianye in surprise: "Old Wu, you are amazing, you have already guessed it!"

Wu Jianye chuckled. Naturally, he would not tell them. He knew in another time and space that the three of them would get together to form a movie company, but the movie company of the three of them was just like a joke. If you get it out, it will be a yellow stall.

In fact, at this time, there were many domestic film companies, similar to Xiangjiang Eight 90s, with a few actors, or a director who set up a film and television company when his heart became hot.

As a result, no one has this experience, and in the end it all goes away.

Chen Peisi's Hainan Film and Television Company, Feng Pants, Wang Shuo and others' Good Dream Film and Television are all such products
"Old Wu, just wait, when our company gets up, we will definitely be able to achieve your dignified culture!" Xie Yuan joked.

Wu Jianye glanced at Xie Yuan and said, "Since you are so confident, let's make an agreement. When the time comes, you are not allowed to borrow people or equipment from me!"

Xie Yuan's face collapsed, and he said quickly: "Don't, it's a joke between our old classmates, why do you take it seriously, this is not good!"

Tangting Culture's equipment is famous all over the world, and there are many actors. Even Ge You has a contract with Tangting Culture now.

Now domestic film and television companies are basically no different from leather bag companies. They can open an office just by looking for an office, but they belong to the existence of nothing, and they are still far away from making movies!

"Then you have to toast me with a glass of wine!" Wu Jianye said with a smile!

"Good talk!"
