What should I do if my girlfriend is famous and doesn't dump me?

Chapter 223
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" takes the lead in the Spring Festival, and is invincible.

Although the word-of-mouth of this film is not as good as the previous three films that Zhang Yu and Ning Yuan collaborated on, the momentum shown at the box office is even greater.

On the Internet, the predicted box office for this film exceeded two billion.

The reason for this is undoubtedly due to the word-of-mouth of the biggest competitor "The Strange Case".

As for "Serious Crime Squad", it obviously has no impact on "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

After all, there is a big difference in heat.

And the styles of the two films are completely different.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" is undoubtedly more suitable for the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and it is the first choice for movie fans.

"Sister Hua, rare guest!"

Zhang Yu looked at Wang Mei with a smile.

The rest of the crew immediately got up and greeted Wang Mei.

However, they were obviously much more restrained than Zhang Yu.

Be it Xu Yun or Ding Sheng, this is especially true for Wansheng's artists.

Why did Zhang Yu do this?
One is that he has a good personal relationship with Wang Mei.

Another important reason.He is not only a singer and actor, but also an investment producer.

"I have something to do with you."

Wang Mei nodded to the others, then looked at Zhang Yu and said.

"Oh?"

Zhang Yu looked at the others, then nodded.

Wang Mei didn't say that, so naturally she wanted to discuss it in private.

He was puzzled, but did not refuse.

The two found a place.

"What is Sister Hua looking for from me?" Zhang Yu asked.

"I want to ask if you have any suitable scripts for Zhang Hang?" Wang Mei said.

"What?" Zhang Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted, and said, "Sister Hua wants to sign Director Zhang to Wansheng Film and Television?"

"You don't need to sign in, just help him set up a personal studio, and just be affiliated with Wansheng Film and Television." Wang Mei said, "So many companies want to recruit, there should be no possibility of signing directly."

"Dao Zhang really broke up with his company?" Zhang Yu asked.

This is actually a bit of a knowing question.

Zhang Hang's company is actually not that big in the circle.

However, Zhang Hang is nostalgic for the past, if there is no quarrel, probably no one will be interested in attracting him.

"He fell out with Xu Ming." Wang Mei said, "Zhang Hang was not interested in taking over the film "The Strange Case", but he took it for Xu Ming's sake. But after taking it, Xu Ming There is more and more meddling in the film. When the two were filming, conflicts broke out. If it weren't for this, the quality of this film would not stop there."

Zhang Yu nodded.

Even if there is a problem with the script, with Zhang Hang's director level, it will not be possible to make a film whose reputation is almost collapsed.

Many domestic directors are themselves excellent screenwriters.

Zhang Hang is also good at screenwriting.

"Zhang Hang and Xu Ming have worked together for many years." Wang Mei said, "Zhang Hang is only in charge of movies, and Xu Ming is responsible for all other matters. They each perform their own duties, and the cooperation has always been pleasant. Unfortunately, Xu Ming's heart is too big to control The desire is getting stronger."

Zhang Yu nodded, these things are not a secret in the circle.

Zhang Hang opened the prelude to the commercial blockbuster in the mainland, and Xu Ming was behind it.

It's just that in recent years, Xu Ming has participated in more and more Zhang Hang's films.

Moreover, many of the films shot were probably not what Zhang Hang wanted to make.

Over time, conflicts broke out sooner or later.

"The Strange Case" is just a fuse.

This movie probably pushed Zhang Hang to the limit of his patience.

Once the two fell out, Zhang Hang probably didn't realize it. He and the others seemed to be Xu Ming's tools.

"I'm afraid Xu Ming won't let go easily?" Zhang Yu said, "His company is supported by Zhang Hang."

"It's up to him." Wang Mei said, "With Zhang Hang's current status, he can still handle it? At most, he will expose Zhang Hang's shortcomings afterwards and take revenge."

"Sister Hua wants to increase her bargaining chip with a script?" Zhang Yu said.

Xu Ming couldn't handle Zhang Hang, and Wansheng Film and Television was even more unafraid of Xu Ming.

"Correct!"

Wang Mei nodded, this is also the purpose of his looking for Zhang Yu.

Wansheng Film and Television also has contracted screenwriters, but compared with Zhang Yu, they are much worse.

Not just quality, but speed too.

Of course, Wang Mei's coming here was just casting more nets.

She didn't really have much hope.

"Director Zhang should prefer to make literary films." Zhang Yu said, "If Sister Hua wants it, I really have one here. It's just hard to say how the box office will be. However, the possibility of losing money is not high."

"Oh?"

When Wang Mei heard this, she immediately became interested.

If Zhang Hang can be recruited, it is not unacceptable to lose some money.

Zhang Yu made a good point.

Zhang Hang actually prefers literary films.

Compared with commercial films, he is actually better at literary films.

It's just that his achievements in commercial films are too dazzling.

Of course, it would be better if it is a film with perfect fusion of commercial elements and artistic elements.

But in many cases, business and art cannot have both.

"The script hasn't been finished yet, so Sister Hua shouldn't be in a hurry, right?" Zhang Yu continued.

The script that Zhang Yu mentioned was of course "Farewell My Concubine" that had flashed before!
However, this film involves some history, Zhang Yu still needs to check the information, and then see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted.

"It would be best if it could be faster." Wang Mei said, "Nowadays, Wansheng Film and Television is not the only one staring at Zhang Hang."

"I'll try my best!" Zhang Yu said.

Where is the script so easy to write.

Even with the original as a reference.But there are some things that you should understand, you have to understand.

However, compared to the original, it is undoubtedly much easier.

While Zhang Yu was busy with the road show, he also started writing the script of "Farewell My Concubine".

Before long, the script was completed.

The film revolves around the joys and sorrows of two Peking opera actors for half a century, showing the thinking and understanding of traditional culture, human living conditions and human nature.

This film can be said to be one of the films with the highest artistic achievements in Chinese film.

Thinking about it, Zhang Hang should be moved.

At this time, many office workers have already started to go to work, and the peak of movie viewing during the Spring Festival stalls has faded a lot.

However, the box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has already broken the billion mark.

When Wang Mei saw the script and read it several times, she was inexplicably shocked.

Zhang Yu actually wrote such a script?
Simply incredible.

After being shocked, Wang Mei revealed a look of surprise.

Which director can refuse this script?

Neither can Zhang Hang.

hum!

See how Zhang Hang still refuses me?
Now, Wang Mei is undoubtedly full of confidence in recruiting Zhang Hang into Wansheng Film and Television.

If Zhang Hang is pulled down by her to Wansheng Film and Television, then her position in Wansheng Film and Television will be more stable, and it will undoubtedly increase the possibility of her going further.

Wang Mei couldn't wait to contact Zhang Hang.

During this period of time, Zhang Hang was already a little annoyed.

However, although it is annoying, it is heart-warming.

The conditions offered by many film and television companies moved his heart.

He obviously has an idea about setting up his own studio.

Zhang Hang is not young, and he has passed the age of striving for fame and fortune.

He wants to make some movies that he likes now.

Wang Mei contacted him again, not talking about solicitation, but said that he had a script in hand and he might be interested.

This made Zhang Hang a little surprised.

Zhang Yu still knew the sincerity of Wansheng Film and Television.

The conditions given are no worse than other film and television companies.

leave the company?

It is estimated that it is a foregone conclusion.

He couldn't stay any longer.

However, where to go, Zhang Hang has not yet decided.

He is not in a hurry.

There are many companies in contact with him, so he naturally knows it well.

No matter where you go, it seems that as long as you leave the company, you will be better.

Ugh!
Thinking of these years, Zhang Hang couldn't help but sigh.

He has worked with Xu Ming for many years, this time, if he didn't feel a little uncomfortable, how could it be possible.

Zhang Hang and Wang Mei met, and after some politeness, Wang Mei didn't say anything, and directly handed over the printed script.

Then stop talking.

The meaning is obvious, let Zhang Hang read it.

"Farewell My Concubine?"

Zhang Hang was also polite, picked up the script and began to read it.

When I saw the title of the play, I was a little surprised.

Is it a historical drama, telling the story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji?
However, when he let go of the script and looked at it, he was dumbfounded.

The title of this film does not come from historical allusions, but from classic Peking Opera repertoire.

This film describes the Peking Opera art with the deepest cultural accumulation in Huaguo and the lives of Peking Opera artists, and delicately shows the thinking and understanding of traditional culture, human living conditions and human nature.

This film gives the director a lot of room for creative ideas.

It also takes into account the aesthetic taste of the audience.

The story tells a story that lasted for half a century.

The movie not only has a deep sense of history, but also has a delicate masculine friendship and an epic pattern. It shows the joys and sorrows of small people mixed with the historical development of China for half a century.

this script.
The more Zhang Hang watched, the more startled he became, and the more he watched, the more fascinated he became.

Wang Mei watched Zhang Hang's reaction, but the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious.

"call!"

After reading the script, Zhang Hang took a deep breath, but did not rush to speak.

He seemed to be digesting the shocks that the script gave him that came and went.

Wang Mei wasn't in a hurry either.

She obviously felt that she was already firmly on the Diaoyutai with this script.

Zhang Hang absolutely couldn't resist such a script.

Wang Mei has nothing else, but she still has vision.

The box office may be difficult to say, but the awards may be amazing.

What Wansheng Film and Television lacks now is awards, not box office.

"Who wrote this script?" Zhang Hang asked.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to talk to the screenwriter.

"Director Zhang is interested in this film?" Wang Mei didn't answer, but asked with a smile.

"It's hard to find a good script." Zhang Hang nodded, and said, "There's not enough attention paid to screenwriters in China, so it's not easy to find a good script. This script shouldn't come from the scriptwriting team of Wansheng Film and Television, right?"

He did not deny his interest in the film, and he also knew that Wang Mei found his purpose with the script.

Since he nodded, he didn't mind.

Where not to go?

If you can direct this film, so what if you join Wansheng Film and Television?
Although the country does not pay enough attention to screenwriting, major film and television companies have their own screenwriting teams.

Among the scriptwriting teams of these big film and television companies, Wansheng Film and Television is probably the weakest.

What's more, the scriptwriting team of Wansheng Film and Television is probably still thinking about the sequel of "The Great Sage" with "Journey to the West" in mind.

"Thirteen wrote it." Wang Mei said.

There is nothing to hide about this, and there is no need to hide it.

Zhang Hang and Zhang Yu had a good relationship, but Wang Mei didn't think that Zhang Hang could bypass her to get this book.

"Thirteen? Zhang Thirteen!" Zhang Hang looked at Wang Mei in surprise.

Such a good book was written by a person who studied music.

This is true.
Seeing Wang Mei nodding, Zhang Hang immediately felt relieved.

Zhang Shisan was very talented, so Zhang Hang knew it too.

And the screenwriting ability is also very good, at least he is the person who won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Original Screenplay.

"That's right!" Zhang Hang nodded, then smiled, "His girlfriend is the granddaughter of Mr. Ma."

Mr. Ma?
Wang Mei was taken aback for a moment, then remembered.

Ma Shiji, Yang Ruoxue's grandfather, is a famous opera artist.

Zhang Hang is interested in "Farewell My Concubine", so the next thing to talk about will naturally be much easier.

Wang Mei also didn't take Zhang Hang out of this drama.

The conditions given are also extremely generous.

Not long after, a piece of news shocked the entire entertainment circle.

The great director Zhang Hang has completely fallen out with his old club.

This has long been rumored and expected.

It's just that no one expected that he would join the banner of Wansheng Film and Television, and so quickly.

Doesn't he know that rare goods can be lived in and sold at a price?
With his current fame, some companies are willing to pay a higher price.

As long as he is willing to talk.

"A Strange Case" hit the word-of-mouth box office, but no one thought that Zhang Hang would never recover.

No one will underestimate his value as a great director.

Countless people are curious about how Wang Mei did it.

If someone is curious, then someone will explore.

There are no impervious walls in the world.

Soon the reason was exposed, but it shocked countless people.

Wang Mei actually took a script and successfully won Zhang Hang.

And the script was actually written by Zhang Shisan.

This made people wonder what kind of script it was.

"Farewell My Concubine" has not yet started preparations, but the film has already attracted much attention.

This is the rhythm of fire!

Zhang Yu's screenwriting ability has completely entered the eyes of everyone.

"Sister Hua really got Director Zhang out of your script?" Ning Yuan said, "What script, can I read it?"

"You should not be interested in a literary film." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

However, he still gave Ning Yuan the script.

Ning Yuan was also polite, and then flipped through it.

This this.
After a while, Ning Yuan looked at Zhang Yu with resentment on his face, which was undisguised.

What the hell am I missing?
"Fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders!" Ning Yuan said, "You have such a good book, why don't you shoot it for me?"

"Didn't you say you're not interested in literary films?" Zhang Yu said with a curled lip.

Did I say that?

It seems that he really said it.

He felt his heart bleeding.

Even if Ning Yuan didn't say this, Zhang Yu might not give him this notebook.

He didn't think Ning Yuan could make "Farewell My Concubine" well!
This film requires a lot of artistry from the director.

Ning Yuan is obviously far less suitable than Zhang Hang in this respect.

Zhang Hang has directed Peking Opera.

"This film has already broken away from a pure literary film." Ning Yuan said with some annoyance, "It's a pity! Next time there is such a good book, don't take advantage of outsiders!"

"Isn't he good at the box office?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Ning Yuan frowned, why does this sound familiar!
