China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 51 Every successful person is not accidental

The three sat down in the office, and then Wang Zhonglei started smoking and making tea.

A few people first chatted about the advantages of "Far Cry", and Chen Guofu and Wang Zhonglei felt embarrassed when they talked about it.

"Director He, your film is of high quality. I'll recommend it to Columbia later. Maybe it will go to theaters all over Asia." Chen Guofu began to throw out the bait.

But don't say it, it's quite tempting, He Fang is very tempted, if you have money, you don't make a bastard.

"Oh? Is that so? If it's really possible, I'd like to thank Mr. Chen." He Fang showed great enthusiasm.

"If you agree, I'll ask you later. I personally feel very confident. Of course, the specifics depend on how the Columbia company sees it." Chen Guofu didn't pat his chest to make a promise. After all, he can't help you for nothing. Next It depends on whether you understand or not. If you are sensible, you will help me. If you are not sensible, then you have an excuse.

"I definitely agree, I must agree, who wants to have trouble with money? As for Columbia's idea, it is very important. No one can guarantee its success. I can understand."

"Haha...Come on, Director He, drink tea." Wang Zhonglei said haha ​​here.

The three of them picked up their cups and picked up their tea. As a guest, He Fang had to praise the tea, but he didn't know much about tea, so he had to boast a few words.

"Hiss, this Pu'er tea is okay. Although I don't know much about tea, it's really the best Pu'er tea I've ever had. It's rich in aroma, soft and smooth, and sweet in taste. Tsk, good tea, but I'm not good at it. If you know tea, but you can't taste it at a higher level, you're wasting Mr. Wang's pot of good tea." He Fang praised.

Wang Zhonglei and Chen Guofu were very surprised. They didn't expect He Fang to be such a greasy director, completely different from other directors.Other directors are generally very dull in dealing with people and things, and when they talk about movies, they can blush and spit all over the mouth.It's not like He Fang is as smooth as a society boy, very smooth.

"Hey, Director He, what are you talking about? Just because you praised me for this pot of tea in the comment just now is worth it. I didn't expect Director He to have researched a thing or two about tea." Wang Zhonglei praised.

"Hey, it's because I have been like this since I was a child. When I was a child, I often went to my dad and uncle's office. They would have two drinks with each other. I don't know how to drink, and I can't taste anything, but I can drink too much. Blow a few words."

"Hehe, Director He is being modest. Director He, how do you plan to cooperate with "Single Zoo"?" Wang Zhonglei saw that everyone was bragging and spanking, and it was time to get down to business.

"Hmm..." He Fang pondered for a moment, then drank another cup of tea.

"Actually, my idea is very simple and not complicated. Huayi invests in a lot of movies every year to make money, and it is not inferior to my "Single Zoo". However, Huayi has been very successful at the box office these years, but in terms of awards But it’s a little thin. I want to go out and compete for awards for this movie. I don’t know if it will succeed, but I just want to try. Moreover, I believe that the box office of this movie will not be too bad. I also hope There are awards and box office success. This is what I hope to bring to Huayi, and I also want to impress Huayi with this." He Fang said slowly.

He Fang's words are indeed Huayi's pain point. In recent years, what Huayi has least convinced the film industry is the awards. On many occasions, he has been criticized and looked down upon by Zhang Weiping's big mouth.

Even when Huayi wanted to cooperate with Chen Kaige, people felt that Huayi was too commercial and somewhat resisted. Even Jiang Wen didn't look for them first when looking for investment in a new film, but went south to Hong Kong to find Yang Shoucheng.

what reason?Isn't it because Huayi is too commercial and doesn't pay attention to film art.

Although Huayi is going to be listed soon, it cannot be rated as the most powerful film and television company without important award-winning works.Of the six major Hollywood film companies, which one does not have both business and art?
"Hey, this movie is going to enter the award? Director He, are you sure? Why does it look like a comedy to me?" Although Wang Zhonglei said towards where, but his eyes were looking at Chen Guofu, wanting to let Chen Guofu Weigh the odds of winning.

"Sure? Who dares to say that there is 100% certainty? It's just a try. If it doesn't work, don't we still have the box office as a guarantee." He Fang definitely won't guarantee the ticket.

"This movie is quite interesting. It is a soft sci-fi with black humor and dystopian society. It also implies that violence and utopia are twin brothers. It is forcing free people to combine unfreedom. Even The story reflects on the part about love and belief. Because of love, couples become each other’s beliefs. Without love, believers lose their faith. They are just walking dead and tools of others. In addition, it also satirizes the rigidity and mechanicalness of the social system, love How can things like marriage and marriage be done by force? So, if you say that the artistic value is also very high, just watch how the movie is made."

After Chen Guofu finished speaking, he glanced at He Fang, as if he wanted to confirm whether He Fang thought so.

At this time, He Fang was shocked, this is a master, he can see through the script's attempt at a glance.No wonder people can have such great achievements. Really, every successful person is not accidental, nor is he an amateur. He must have become a master in a certain industry.

"Chen, Mr. Chen, you... Niu, I feel like you have seen through my thoughts. No, it's a pity that this is tea. If this is wine, I must have three drinks with you, really." He Fang said excitedly.

Chen Guofu also smiled and waved his hands, "They are all directors. This is our profession. If you can't even see this, what face do you have when you come out?"

Chen Guofu said modestly, while Wang Zhonglei squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin with one hand.He really didn't expect that the script was so good.

"So, Mr. Chen, do you also think you can win the award?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

Chen Guofu took a sip from his teacup, "Let's see what awards we get. It's difficult for the three major film festivals, but it's possible for other film festivals."

As soon as Wang Zhonglei heard this, he turned his head and looked towards He Fang, "Which film festivals does Director He plan to attack?"

"Of course the Big Three. My intention is next year's Cannes. It's up to me whether it will be successful or not. Anyway, I'll go first." He Fang waved his hand grandly.

"Hey, you have courage." Chen Guofu gave a thumbs up.

"Just now Director He talked about the benefits he brought to Huayi, so what does Director He hope Huayi will bring to you?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

"Of course it's investment, publicity and film festival resources. Although I don't lack investment at all, I always think that making the cake bigger will benefit everyone rather than me eating alone. In addition, although "Far Cry" The box office is very good, but the publicity of Huying Group is still incomparable with Huayi. This is what I hope Huayi can bring to me. Another point is that, as for film festivals, everyone knows that it is not fair to be completely fair. It is possible, so I need the help of a company like Huayi."

He Fang said it very directly.
