China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Today, He Hua and Xu Ke are sitting together because Yu Dong organized it. Even though Bona is the main producer of "Taking Tiger Mountain" and Youhua Entertainment is only participating in the investment, Yu Dong still wants He Hua to come over and give more opinions. After all, He Hua His vision is obvious to all.

The formal meeting report would have to wait for a while, and a few people sat in Yu Dong's office chatting.

"I heard that Huazi, you are now a specially appointed professor of Chinese Opera?"

He Hua was helpless. He didn't really want to talk about it, but anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on.

This year, the new campus of the alma mater in Changping was officially opened. With the new campus, the leaders of the Chinese Drama School naturally hope that the school will have a new atmosphere, so they discussed it over and over again. I don’t know who proposed to expand the teaching staff and invite outstanding filmmakers and directors in the film and television industry. , actor, came to the school to teach.

In fact, the original intention of this measure is quite good:
As far as the school is concerned, these people who come to teach at the school can not only teach students knowledge outside the classroom and improve students' literacy, but also allow the school and students to have access to more social resources, allowing them to avoid detours.

Personally speaking, those outstanding filmmakers who teach on the platform of China National Theater can also gain some bonuses in terms of connections, qualifications, and reputation.

Of course these are slightly utilitarian ideas.

It's just that this measure was embarrassing during the implementation process, and it can even be said that it made many people with a background in Chinese dramas look irrelevant.

Because take a look at the list of people to be invited. Except for Jiang Wen, He Hua and a few other people who have a background in Chinese opera, most of the others are from Nortel, such as Lao Mouzi, Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, and Section Chief Jia. , Ning Hao.
Zhongxi is not afraid of others saying that they are robbing people. They also don’t want people to underestimate their alma mater.

After receiving the invitation, He Hua thought for a while and agreed. He had nothing to say. His family didn't help, so who else could he expect to go? Moreover, when he was not good enough in the past, the school leaders also helped him stand up. No matter what the reason, he suffered. Favors must be repaid.

However, as an associate professor, he also has a relatively free time. He can just go back and give one or two major classes a month, mainly to facilitate the school's registration.

He curled his lips and said, "Brother Yu, stop teasing me. It's just in name, and you still expect me to really teach and educate people? That's misleading people."

Yu Dong snorted and retorted: "How come? My brother's level is more than enough to teach students. If they are not good enough, just throw them to the crew to learn. Isn't this all a matter of a word from you, brother?"

"Brother Yu, flatter me to death, you flatter me to death!"

"Hahaha no."

Xu Ke on the side also heard a burst of joy.

Today Yu Dong is indeed deliberately flattering He Hua, why?It's not that I want to get involved in "Operation Mekong".

In fact, Yu Dong attached great importance to the bidding for the Public Security Port project, and Bona was quite well prepared. He prepared more information than Youhua Entertainment. Even during the bidding process, Bona was one position ahead of Youhua. , after all, the name "Chinese-style Hollywood commercial blockbuster" is also very attractive to those leaders.

But in the end, they still lost to Youhua Entertainment when the senior leaders made decisions. The theme that He Hua summarized was quite lethal to the senior leaders.

Although he was defeated, Yu Dong was still unwilling to accept it and wanted to participate in the project.

However, whatever Bona could do to help Hua, China Film could also do it, and He Hua still owed Laxun Kang a favor, so He Hua didn't want to take this topic.

Yu Dong did not give up. When Shi Nansheng reported on the casting process at the formal meeting, he also asked He Hua for his opinion:

"Huazi, do you have a more suitable candidate? It's not decided yet. We can still make adjustments."

Of course, this was communicated in a low voice between the two after they got close. Even Yu Dong couldn't handle the fact that so many people didn't give Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng face.

He Hua looked at the list of actors:

Yang Zirong——Zhang Hanyu
Mountain Sculpture——Liang Jiahui
Shao Jianbo——Zhu Yawen
Bai Ru——Zhang Jianing
As well as Wang Kai, Dai Xu and others behind me, I really want to ask Yu Dong: Do you know that several of the main characters in this movie are owned by our company?Are you asking me to stuff people in?

After a long silence, he said: "No, the person Director Xu selected is very good, there is no need to change."

Only then did Yu Dong discover that He Hua had a big shortcoming, which was that he didn't have enough oil and salt, making it difficult for him to break through, so he had no choice but to find another way.

He Hua, Huang Hong, Ye Ning and others nodded with satisfaction after hearing the crew's current preparations.

Anyway, from the perspective of investors like them, the crew did not fool them, and the financial budget was also good. Although there may be moisture in many places, at least there is no blatant corruption like Chen Kexin's "6000 yuan for a straw hat" , are all within a tolerable range.

Moreover, many of these are not taken by Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng. Why would they care about this? It is an unspoken rule of the crew. He Hua has already experienced it deeply after filming so many scenes, so he did not say anything.

Huang Hong is the comedian Huang Hong from Big Hammer 80, Little Hammer 40. He is the director of Bayi Factory. He Hua doesn’t know if he can see the problem here, but Ye Ning probably can’t. Because Youhua Company will also do this when doing cost calculations, and Wanda has never said that.

Youhua Entertainment accounts for 1.5% of the total investment of 20 million yuan, and the actual investment of 3000 million yuan is considered to be the largest investment project in Youhua.

"No, no, Brother Yu, I really have something to do. I'll drink with you another day when I'm free."

At the end of the meeting, He Hua declined the lunch invitations from Yu Dong, Huang Hong and others.

On the one hand, he really has something to do and has made an appointment with someone to talk about it. On the other hand, Yu Dong's drinking capacity is terrible. He doesn't drink from a cup, but drinks from the wine container. Drink with him. He Hua, who had been drunk several times, was really scared and left quickly when he heard that he wanted to eat.

Don't listen to what he says. "No drinks at noon," "It's mainly about eating," and "You two have a good chat," are all bullshit. They are definitely lying.

Soon, the Maybach stopped at the entrance of an alley. He Hua asked the driver and assistant Xiao Xu to find a place to eat. He got out of the car and walked into the alley. He found a store inside that exuded a strong aroma. The store had three words: Fried noodles.

When he entered, he saw Ning Hao waving to him. He Hua walked over and sat down and looked at Ning Hao with a speechless expression:
"You agreed to treat me to dinner and you're going to eat this?"

"The noodles here taste good, chewy and authentic. You can just eat it anyway. I'll keep it for you to feel comfortable eating."

"Thankfully you didn't say what mommy tastes like, otherwise I would have gotten up and left. Have you ordered?"

"No, I won't wait for you." He didn't ask He Hua for his opinion. He directly raised his hand to greet the boss: "Two bowls of noodles, but not enough water."

After placing the order, Ning Hao muttered to He Hua in a low voice: "I really don't understand the people here. How can I get through eating noodles? Isn't it uncomfortable to eat it when it's hot?"

He Hua nodded in agreement. They in Shan

What?Afraid of Tuo?I'm afraid you can just drink less than two bowls at a time.

Ning Hao had already ordered the cold dishes. He Hua took a pair of chopsticks from the table and started eating. While eating, he asked about the actors.

"There is no problem with Liu Haoran, mainly Wang Baoqiang. He has already taken over Chen Kaige's "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", and the film will be shot next year. We are a bit passive. How about changing someone?"

He Hua chewed the food in his mouth, and after thinking for a long time, he still shook his head: "No, he is the only one suitable for this role. There is something about Tang Ren that really irritates the audience. He is stupid, stupid, useless, and may even be a hindrance, but It won't happen with Baoqiang, he has that kind of closeness feeling about him."

Ning Hao did not refute. He is also a director, and he understands the value of actors with this kind of characteristics best. For example, some people play fools, and you think they are acting because they are shrewd in their bones, such as Bao Beier, while some people play fools, It feels so natural to be stupid, such as Wang Baoqiang and Allen.He Hua then asked: "When will director Kai Ge's drama be filmed? We can just try to stagger it with him."

"Probably in April or May next year."

This time is really awkward, it just splits the production time they set in half. No wonder Ning Hao wants to change people.

He Hua and Ning Hao discussed placing the first part of "Detective Chinatown" in the Lunar New Year slot next year. This kind of comedy is most suitable for the Lunar New Year slot to hit the box office, so their production time is only one year from now to next year. It’s time, April and May just separate the time.

In addition, Ning Hao also has a movie called "Heart Blossoms", which is expected to be released on National Day next year, so now that two projects are weighing on him, his head is getting big.

He Hua also frowned, thinking about how to solve this problem.

But at this time, the waiter just came over with cooked noodles, so the two of them put their thoughts aside for the time being, "The world is so big, eating is the biggest thing", and the noodles were really lumpy and not delicious.

The two of them basically acted in the same way, put the fried sauce in, pulled the vegetables in, and then started to mix. After mixing well, they picked up the peeled garlic on the table, and started eating the noodles with the garlic.

Eat big noodles, no one cares about image.

After eating, ask the boss to pour you a bowl of noodle soup, and take a few sips of the hot noodle soup, which is called a feeling of comfort.

He Hua wiped his mouth with a tissue and shared his newly clarified thoughts with Ning Hao:
"How about this, I'll keep an eye on the film's preparations during this period of time a year ago. You hurry up and finish filming your film. You don't have to keep an eye on it in the later stages."

Ning Hao nodded and motioned for He Hua to continue.

"We will start filming this in February, March and April next year. We will switch focus to director Kai Ge's "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" and asked Baoqiang's agent to contact the crew and postpone the filming."

In order to adjust the filming rhythm appropriately for the actors, this kind of thing is normal in the industry.

It is true that He Hua and Chen Kaige have a normal relationship, otherwise he would have made this call.

Ning Hao's face turned dark when he heard He Hua arranged this. This was a rhythm that exhausted him to death.

He Hua saw it and stood up quickly: "Boss, how much does it cost?"

"Cao, I told you to invite him." Ning Hao didn't bother complaining and stood up to stop him.

He Hua's expression begged: "Brother, please help me."

Ning Hao hesitated for a moment, but at the moment of hesitation, the waiter had already collected the money. When he saw this, he could only sigh:
"I shouldn't have taken this project in the first place, my dear."

There is no need to use such a useful tool in vain. Instead of wasting your time on having sex, why not help me make two more movies? Maybe your wife will thank me.He Hua secretly guessed.

Before they finished talking about the meal, the two simply changed course and went to Ning Hao's company Bad Monkey to have a look.It just so happens that he hasn't been there yet and can recognize the way.

Bad Monkey Pictures was born out of Ning Hao's personal studio. Also because of the booming film market in recent years, these directors are no longer satisfied with just earning some salary or dividends, and want to participate more in the operation of top-level capital. middle.

The main reason is that I feel that my movies can make money, so why should I let others earn the money, and I have to earn so much hard?Invest in yourself too.

Therefore, the large-scale emergence of film and television companies in recent years is also due to their contributions.

He Hua just understood this truth prematurely and took the first step, and it was only because of the cheats that it developed so big.

Soon they arrived at a cultural industrial park in Chaoyang District. After getting out of the car, He Hua looked around and then praised:
"You have a good environment."

Ning Hao smiled: "I chose this specifically. I don't want to go to an office building. I feel depressed and aggrieved. Let's go this way."

Well, although Ning Hao is rough, he still has the arrogance of a literary and artistic worker in his heart. For example, his company is big, spacious, and has everything he can do.

I don’t know if he believes in the old American saying: Create a free and comfortable working environment for employees, and employees will create greater value for you.

Anyway, He Hua's company has never been in such a disorganized state, but the relationship between the two is not close enough for He Hua to remind and persuade, and maybe he is indeed more powerful.

Ning Hao took him to his studio, and then called two people in charge, a man and a woman. The man looked younger and the woman looked middle-aged.

He first pointed at the lady and introduced: "Song Dan, our CEO and housekeeper, she will be responsible for my absence."

"Hello." "Mr. He, I have long admired your name."

Then came the man: "Wang Yibing, the producer of my movie."

Wang Yibing stepped forward to shake hands: "How do you do, Mr. He?"

He Hua shook it and then hesitated and asked, "Are you included in "One Night of Surprise"?"

"it's me."

Only then did He Hua laugh: "So you're here." Looking at Ning Hao and Song Dan's puzzled expressions, he smiled and explained:

"Some time ago, my human resources director reported to me that she had found a talent and wanted to recruit it to us. However, there has been no news in the past few days. I thought she was going to surprise me, but I didn't expect it."

Ning Hao reacted and pulled a few people to sit down: "It seems that our sister Dan and your human resources director have the same ideas."

"It's obvious that he is more skilled."

The four of them chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious. After chatting for a while, they returned to the topic:
"In addition to Baoqiang, I have also met several other candidates you recommended. Don't tell me. I didn't believe them before when they said you were right in picking people. This time I'm really convinced."

He Hua recommended three people to him this time. One was Xiao Yang, who played the role of Kuntai. During the audition, he was really surprised that he had found Huang Bo to play the black skin. It was really exciting.

The second actor is Tony, the gold-stealing accomplice next to Langdon Huang. He Hua recommended Wang Chuanjun. This guy is not bad, and he nailed the ruthlessness of the character very well.

Finally, there is the actor who plays Langdon Huang. Maybe it was because of this person's previous screen image. He initially felt that this person was suitable, but after the audition, he found out that this person is the kind of person who can act seriously and have fun, especially the more miserable he is. The more serious you are, the happier you will be.

This person is Zhang Yi. (End of chapter)
