my movie years

Chapter 129 Going Two Ways With Da Mi Mi
At the celebration banquet, Da Mi Mi and Guo Fan had a pleasant exchange.

After a big battle at night, Zhang Hao asked Da Mi Mi: "How is your talk with Lao Guo?"

"Not bad, I feel that he is very thoughtful and serious." Da Mi Mi said.

"That's right, someone with a background in law, who wants to join the film industry for his dream, doesn't have any skills." Zhang Hao said.

Da Mimi put on her bathrobe and was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower. Hearing this, she asked Zhang Hao, "By the way, will you be the producer of this movie?"

"Of course, if I don't play the title of producer, the investors won't be at ease!" Zhang Hao replied, watching Da Mi Mi pack up, and then asked: "You pack up now, don't keep a few more God?"

"No, I have to go back to the crew tomorrow morning." Da Mimi tapped Zhang Hao's mouth lightly, and said with a smile: "Go to rest early, you also have a lot of work to do."

Yes there is a lot of work to do.

On the second day, Zhang Hao devoted himself to the post-production process with full energy.

Years ago, Zhang Hao edited a 30-second trailer and a two-minute trailer as required.

In addition, Guo Fan finally submitted to Zhang Hao the script of "Shark Beach" he completed based on Zhang Hao's script outline, as well as more than 800 shot manuscripts.

Zhang Hao read the script, and it was a little different from the original version of "Shark Shore", but the problem was not big.

Regarding the investment, Zhang Hao asked the production director of Haotian Studio to do an accounting, and it will take about 500 million to complete the production of this film.

The original version of "Shark Beach" cost 1700 million US dollars, which is a small-budget production in Hollywood, but it is a top-level big production when it is moved to the mainland.

Of course, making a movie is not as simple as currency conversion.

The situations faced by the two "Shark Shores" are different. The labor cost in Hollywood is much higher than that in the mainland. The scene construction and model production are all expensive expenses.

But if these are placed in the mainland, the price will drop a lot. Considering the required models and the production of some shark special effects shots, the production cost of 500 million is more than enough.

And taking into account the inflation factor, if Hollywood shoots Shark Beach now, it may need 1000 million US dollars to get it done.

Guo Fan heard the figure of 500 million production cost calculated by the production director, and he suffered from insomnia the night he went back, and couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning.

The next day he came to work with big dark circles under his eyes, which shocked Zhang Hao.

Afterwards, after communicating with the soundtrack composer A Kun and Tiangong Yicai Studio about the final and exact completion date.

Zhang Haohe also needs to discuss with several major investors, to determine the film's schedule, and to discuss the "Shark Beach" project.

"Currently, the May [-]st schedule is too crowded. There are many blockbuster movies in such a short period. Films such as "Wu Xia", "Guan Yunchang", and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are all released on this schedule. .

In addition, before and after this schedule, Hollywood blockbusters such as "Fast and Furious 5", "Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stormy Tides", "Kung Fu Panda 2", and "Thor" will be released.

The competitive pressure is too great, I suggest not to release it in this schedule. "Said Hou Cichun, Director of China Film Distribution Department.

The executives of the four investors looked at Zhang Hao in unison. Yu Dong, who presided over the meeting, asked Zhang Hao for his opinion: "Director Zhang, what do you mean?"

Zhang Hao shook his head and said: "I really didn't expect that this schedule would be so crowded. We can't drown here. I suggest changing the schedule."

Many executives breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Director Xiaozhang is still sober and not overconfident.

I'm afraid Director Xiaozhang is overconfident and insists on squeezing in this schedule.

Although it is said that with Zhang Hao's level of film production, there is a high probability that he will be killed.But if you can avoid competition and change to a relatively easy schedule, why not.

"In this case," Hou Cichun continued, "I suggest that the schedule be selected in early June, and the most recent one is "Kung Fu Panda 2", which does not conflict with our subject matter, and it is still an animated film.

"The Founding of the Party" is in mid-June, and there are no other films worth mentioning, so there is plenty of free time. "

"That's fine, the time is set in June, I will finish the production of the film as soon as possible, before April." Zhang Hao also made a promise.

The release date has been confirmed, and there is an exact release schedule.

All publicity work is based on this time, and all work goes much smoother.

After discussing the schedule of "Fatal Magic", everyone soon started discussing another project, Haotian Studio's new project "Shark Beach".

Zhang Hao introduced the basic situation of the project: ""Shark Beach" was co-written by Guo Fan and I, and the estimated production cost is around 500 million. At present, it has been agreed that Da Mi Mi will be the female lead.

In fact, this drama is basically a one-man show of great power, and there are not many other actors. "

Hearing this, all the executives present will understand.It turns out that this film was set up by Zhang Hao to praise his girlfriend. Young people have many tricks.

But in fact, this kind of thing is also very common in the circle. There are often coal bosses who invest in various film and television drama projects in order to win a smile from their faces.

But that's the coal boss, and everyone in the industry regards the coal boss as a fool with a lot of money and a lot of money.

But looking at Zhang Hao, there are two young directors whose films are selling well, and it seems that he can't match people with stupid money.

Then there is only one choice, that is, Zhang Hao has confidence in the project "Shark Beach".

They are all shrewd people who have worked hard in the circle for many years, and they will weigh the pros and cons in their own hearts whether they support it or not.

As Zhang Hao's staunch partners, China Film and Bona immediately stated that they would join the project.

It's only 500 million. Apart from Haotian Studio's own investment, the rest of the money will be used to accompany Zhang Hao crazy, in exchange for this director with unlimited potential to be tied to the chariot of the two companies for a long time.

Huayi said: "Well, we have to go back and ask the two presidents for instructions, and we have no right to make decisions."

Tang Ren said that it was the same situation, and said that he would go back and ask Cai Yinong for instructions.

Zhang Hao expressed his understanding and said: "If the two companies have no intention of investing, I also understand that we will advance this project alone."

Previously, "Fatal Magic" only needed China Film and Bona, but it was only because of the consideration of risk transfer that it absorbed funds from Huayi and Tangren.

The two companies also have confidence in Zhang Hao, so they don't hesitate to invest in the project of "Fatal Magic".

But "Shark Beach" is not directed by Zhang Hao, although he said that he will be the producer of the film.But whether the film will succeed, and whether a new director can manage such a large project, is questionable.

After the meeting adjourned, senior executives from Huayi and Tang Ren reported the situation to their respective bosses.

""Shark Beach"? What type of film?" Mr. Wang asked.

"It's a thriller and horror movie, and the heroine is Mi Mi." The executive replied.

"Horror movie? Can this pass the trial?" Mr. Wang was skeptical.

Compared with his elder brother Mr. Wang's admiration for Zhang Hao, Mr. Wang has a dispensable attitude towards Zhang Hao.

In Mr. Wang's view, Huayi already has the trump card of Feng Dapao, and also cooperates closely with directors on Hong Kong Island, so why bother to praise a young director.

But the king always insisted, and the little king couldn't resist, so he had to agree.

But now, Mr. Wang is on a business trip to Hong Kong Island, and Mr. Wang is staying in the mainland.

So, almost without thinking, Mr. Wang made a decision instantly: "We Huayi will not participate in this project."

In this way, Huayi withdrew from the "Shark Beach" project.

On the other side, Cai Yinong tapped his fingers rhythmically after listening to the report.Although from a rational point of view, a 500 million movie is handed over to a novice director.

Moreover, this novice director actually studied law, and he became a monk halfway through the directorship, and it has been less than two years since then.

The probability of success is almost infinitely equal to zero!

But there is a voice in my heart telling Cai Yinong, taking advantage of other people's hesitation, this is a good opportunity to build trust with Zhang Hao.

Leaving aside the two companies of China Film and Bona, everyone knows that the bosses of the two companies have a deep personal relationship with Zhang Hao.

As for the remaining companies, Tangren and Huayi are currently in contact with Zhang Hao.

Cai Yinong heard that Mr. Wang doesn't really like Zhang Hao very much, and Mr. Wang is not in the mainland. It seems that Huayi probably won't participate in the investment this time.

"We participate in the investment of "Shark Beach"." Cai Yinong made a decision in an instant.

However, not only Cai Yinong has always been interested in Zhang Hao, but Wanda Pictures, who had also been in contact with him before, heard about this project from somewhere and came to him.

The person in charge of Wanda Films came up and said, "I think it takes an investment of 5000 million yuan to complete this film."

Zhang Hao and Guo Fan looked at each other, and finally Zhang Hao said: "I understand what your company means, but we really don't need so much investment, and it's a waste, 500 million is just right."

"Twenty-five million?" The person in charge of Wanda Pictures showed a disappointed expression, as if he was very dissatisfied with this figure.

But Haotian Studio, as the initiator of the project, would not ask for any more money, and he was helpless.

So the person in charge went on to say: "In this way, Wanda directly invested the two thousand and five million yuan. How about paying for Director Guo?"

Guo Fan was stupid again, listen to the tone, is this something a human can say?

This is 500 million yuan, not 500 yuan!

Sure enough, a rich man speaks richly, which is incomparable.

Even so, it is basically impossible for Wanda Pictures to be a sole proprietorship, and Haotian Studio still has a piece of the action.

Therefore, under the cordial and friendly exchanges between the two parties, the intention to invest in Wanda Films was finally reached.

After Huayi made it clear that it would not participate in the project, Wanda Pictures entered the film and became the fourth largest investor in the film.

In fact, in terms of investment scale, Wanda Pictures is the largest investor.

Although they support Zhang Hao, China Film and Bona still have concerns about Guo Fan, a novice director.Wanda Pictures said you don't have to worry about it, if you don't invest, you can transfer it to me.

So China Film and Bona thought about it and simply transferred part of the investment share to Wanda Pictures.

In this way, it not only expresses the attitude of continuing to support Zhang Hao, but also transfers some risks.

Therefore, Haotian Studio invested 500 million yuan, Wanda Films invested 1000 million yuan, leaving China Film and Bona Films, as well as Tang Ren, which invested 500 million yuan each, and "Shark Shore" officially entered the preparatory stage years ago.

There is a lot of preparation work to be done, and with Zhang Hao's guidance and help, as a novice director, Guo Fan did it smoothly.

But Guo Fan also understands that this is just the beginning, and there are still many troubles ahead.

For this reason, Guo Fan led many people from Zhang Hao's team to help him complete various tasks for the film.

However, several core personnel, including photography director Lu Jianqiu and art director Su Tong and Zhang Hao, did not give Guo Fan, because he himself has a project to start this year, and it will be very soon.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Spring Festival of 2011.

Going back to Zhang Hao's third Spring Festival in the past, he also managed to gain a firm foothold in the film and television industry through his own efforts and a little trick.

Of course, this is not enough. Next is an unprecedented golden period. Zhang Hao must seize the opportunity, strive for the top, and realize his dream of becoming an international director as soon as possible.

According to the instructions of his mother Zhang Yu during the Chinese New Year, Zhang Hao called Da Mi Mi to his home for a meal.

Because it is not considered a formal visit, so I did not take Da Mimi to my grandparents.

On the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, when Zhang Yu came back from his grandfather, Zhang Yu was preparing dinner, and Da Mi Mi was going to visit tonight.

As a future mother-in-law who has not yet been determined, Zhang Yu intends to show off her skills and give Da Mi Mi a little shock.

As soon as Zhang Yu put the stewed chicken soup into the soup basin, Zhang Yu heard the sound of Zhang Hao opening the door, followed by Da Mi Mi's voice.

"It smells so good, is Auntie cooking?" Da Mimi sniffled like a little mouse smelling the smell.

Zhang Yu washed his hands and hurried out to greet her: "Oh, Mi Mi, you're here."

"Hello, Auntie." Da Mimi was very polite and generous, without the slightest sense of nervousness when meeting her in-laws for the first time.

Of course, in the case of the Zhang family, Da Mimi only needs to face Zhang Yu alone.

"This is a gift from me to you." Da Mi Mi took out a set of exquisite cosmetics, Estee Lauder hardcover suit.

Da Mi Mi is the spokesperson of Estee Lauder in China, and she does not lack this kind of cosmetics.After carefully asking Zhang Hao what kind of preferences Zhang Yu has, Da Mi Mi carefully selected this set.

Obviously, Zhang Yu was very satisfied with this gift, he almost couldn't see his eyes with a smile: "You are here, what gift do you bring.

Come sit down and have a good chat with Auntie. "

Pulling Da Mimi to sit down on the sofa in the living room, Zhang Yu did not forget to tell Zhang Hao: "Son, hurry up and serve the food, we will eat later."

Zhang Hao touched his nose, feeling that he should be under the car, not here.

Zhang Hao went to the kitchen to serve dishes, while Zhang Yu and Da Mimi started chatting.

This chat is also skillful. You can't start asking about your family situation and income situation as soon as you come up. Besides, Da Mimi is a well-known actress anyway, so there should be no problem with income.

So Zhang Yu is very skillful in chatting. First, he has a basic understanding of the greetings, and then uses Zhang Hao's point to start the chat gradually.

In the process of chatting, comprehensively analyze what kind of woman she is through Da Mi Mi's dialogue, tone, demeanor and other aspects.

If she is a flirtatious woman, Zhang Yu will remind Zhang Hao later that it is time to break up.

If she is a nice girl, Zhang Yu will not interfere.After that, let Zhang Hao and Da Mimi develop freely, and talk about other things when they can talk about marriage.

At any rate, as a famous lady in the Beijing circle, Zhang Yu, who once confronted Mrs. Chen Gezi without losing the wind, naturally has his own ability to observe people.

What's more, it's impossible to start such a large advertising company by yourself if you don't have any skills.

After a comprehensive chat, Zhang Yu has a basic understanding of Da Mi Mi.

To sum up, Da Mi Mi is a very smart girl with a good personality, very typical of a big girl in Beijing Hutong.

Zhang Yu can also see the ambition hidden under Da Mi Mi Qiaoxiaoyanran's appearance.

This kind of ambition cannot be said to be bad, because Zhang Yu also has it, which belongs to the kind of ambition of an independent woman to go in the direction of a strong woman.

Such ambition, if properly guided, will be a great boost to his son's career.

There are not a few husband and wife couples in the entertainment industry, and Chen Gezi and his wife are an example.

Although Mrs. Chen Gezi's mistress is in the top position, and her reputation as a pimp is not very good in the circle.

But it is undeniable that the achievements made by the two together are considered successful in the husband and wife file.

At the dinner table, Zhang Yu and Da Mimi talked and laughed happily, chatting while eating, making Zhang Hao look like an outsider, so he had to eat in silence.

After dinner, Zhang Hao still had to do the dishes. Zhang Yu and Da Mimi seemed to have grown to the point where they were like sisters, and they had already started talking about everything.

After nine o'clock in the evening, Da Mi Mi said goodbye and left.

After sending Da Mimi away, Zhang Yu turned around and said to Zhang Hao: "This girl is not bad, she is quite smart and ambitious."

Ambitious is a commendatory word for Zhang Yu. Of course Zhang Hao understands it, and asked with a smile: "Is it right now? You won't object to our discussion in the future, right?"

"I didn't stop you from talking at first, I just asked you to take it home and take a look, you are so stubborn." Zhang Yu nodded Zhang Hao's forehead, took the cosmetics sent by Da Mimi, and went for a beauty treatment went.

No matter how old she is, it is a woman's nature to love beauty, and even though Zhang Yu is nearly fifty, she is still no exception.

Of course, some men who live a refined life also love beauty.After all, in addition to being naturally beautiful, a handsome guy also needs careful maintenance.

Da Mimi went to see her mother-in-law on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and of course Da Mimi's parents were concerned.

When Da Mi Mi returned home, he hurriedly asked how Da Mi Mi met.

"It's not bad. Aunt Zhang is very kind. We chatted happily. By the way, Mom, Aunt Zhang's cooking skills are no worse than yours." Da Mimi said.

Da Mimi's mother grabbed Da Mimi's ear and said: "Damn girl, who asked you how she is, I asked you if she said when to make a big deal."

"It's still early, Zhangzhang and I are still young, it's too early to make big decisions now." Da Mimi said.

"Of course I knew it early. I just want an attitude. If her son starts to mess up and abandons him, where can I go to reason." Da Mimi's mother said, she is also thinking about her daughter.

"Hey, what you said is wrong. When young people fall in love, it's normal for them to be on and off." Old Comrade Yang took it very seriously.

Turning around and saying to Da Mimi: "You have already gone to their house, shouldn't he also come to our house?"

"Yes, yes, let that kid Zhang Hao come to the house quickly, let us have a look." Da Mi Mi's mother echoed.

"Okay then!" Da Mimi couldn't resist, so he had to call Zhang Hao: "Hey, Zhang Zhang, my parents asked you to come and see them tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Will this progress be too fast?" Zhang Hao exclaimed, so frightened that Zhang Yu's mask was put on crookedly.

"Don't worry, it's just a meeting." Da Mimi smiled.

"Then should I prepare something?"

"No, you can just come."

"How can that be? It just so happens that grandpa's friend sent some tea and a few bottles of good wine. I'll buy some other things before I go tomorrow." Zhang Hao said,
"Well." Hearing her boyfriend's hard work, Da Mi Mi said sweetly, "Then see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow……"

Seeing his son hang up the phone, Zhang Yu asked, "What? They asked you to come?"

"Yeah, it's my turn to be nervous so soon." Zhang Hao thought of Da Mimi's nervousness before coming to the door, and immediately felt the same.

"Don't worry, there will always be this time." Zhang Yu said, digging out a few things from his collection.

"You bring these things to the door tomorrow, and bring those wines and teas together, so generous." Zhang Yu taught Zhang Hao the experience of door-to-door.

According to Zhang Yu, Zhang Hao's father tricked her into boarding the boat with such rhetoric.

It's just that Zhang Hao's father was a scumbag, leaving Zhang Yu who was still pregnant, and immigrated with his little secret with money.

Zhang Yu, who was left with a big belly, was left in a mess in the wind, and later became a single mother, and was gossiped behind his back by Mrs. Chen Gezi's gang for a long time.

Zhang Yu himself was forced to take away her husband by the mistress, so he naturally looked down on Mrs. Chen Gezi, a mistress who was in a high position. The two had deep grievances, which extended to Zhang Hao.

Under the instigation of Mrs. Chen Gezi, Chen Gezi and Zhang Hao, who were not of much trouble at first, gradually became an endless situation.

Mrs. Chen Gezi deserves the title of Zhang Yu as a villain, which is very appropriate.

After Zhang Hao's father immigrated with his little secretary and money, Zhang Yu came to a conclusion that relying on men is worse than relying on himself.

So Zhang Yu started from scratch, and with the help of Zhang Hao's grandfather, he independently developed an advertising company with a market value of tens of millions.

As for who Zhang Hao's father whose name is unknown is, Zhang Hao doesn't know either. He was nearly forty years old in his previous life and had never seen his legendary father.

But Zhang Hao doesn't think it's so great to be without his father. He has grown up healthily for so many years, hasn't he come here?
And because Zhang Hao didn't have a father when he was young, many children around him thought it was amazing.

It was also because Zhang Hao and Ma Qiang teamed up to beat the invincible players in the schools in the community, became the king of children, and commanded all the children.

So some children thought that Zhang Hao was so powerful because he didn't have a father, so they encouraged his parents to divorce when they got home.

As a result, needless to say, the cry of the child spread throughout the community that day.

The next day the child came to Zhang Hao crying and said he was lying.

These are the past events buried in Zhang Hao's memory, because they are so interesting that they can still be remembered after so many years.

After packing up the things he brought to the door, Zhang Hao went to buy some things on purpose the next day, and then drove to the door in his car.

When meeting his parents on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Hao was a little nervous at first, but he calmed down when he got to the door.

Zhang Hao knocked on the door, and after a while a middle-aged man opened the door and saw Zhang Hao at a glance: "You are Zhang Hao, come in, come in, it's cold outside."

Da Mi Mi's mother was busy in the kitchen, and heard the voice come out: "Oh, the young man looks even more handsome than in the photo."

"Hello, uncle and aunt, I'm Zhang Hao."

"I know you are Zhang Hao, I've seen you on TV a long time ago, come in quickly!" Yang's father and Yang mother pulled Zhang Hao into the room, and shouted at the same time: "Mi Mi, come out quickly, Zhang Hao is here."

Da Mi Mi poked his head out of the bedroom, and was very satisfied to see Zhang Hao dressed handsomely and came to the door in formal attire.

This shows that Zhang Hao cares about her and her family, and attaches great importance to this first visit, so he is extra attentive.

After entering the door, there was another exchange of greetings, mainly because Da Mi Mi's mother was asking.

Compared with Zhang Yu, Da Mi Mi's mother asked a lot more straightforward questions, such as the number of people in the family, how their income is, and even asked how many times they have been in love and how many girlfriends they have had.

This made Da Mi Mi dissatisfied: "Mom, Zhang Zhang came to the door on the first day, you just ask these questions, and you will scare him away later."

Da Mi Mi's mother restrained herself: "Don't ask, don't ask, the food is ready, let's eat!"

"Okay, let's eat, Xiao Hao, do you know how to drink? Have a drink with uncle." Da Mi Mi's father patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and said.

"Of course," Zhang Hao replied.

"Okay, drink a few more drinks with me today. Normally, your aunt doesn't let me drink, so I wait for you to come over and accompany me to satisfy my hunger." Da Mimi's father laughed, and walked to the dining table with Zhang Hao.

Looking at this happy scene, Da Mimi smiled sweetly.

This scene full of life is something you can't usually feel.

But I don't know why, at this moment, Da Mi Mi feels particularly at ease.

I wonder if Lingnan should be good, but he said, this place of peace of mind is my hometown.
