director of the millennium

Chapter 101 Let Hong Kong Island Actors Match Mainland Actors!

Is Zhang Guorong excited?

Very excited!
After he read the script of "If Love", he fell in love with this movie!

Musical films, this is a field he has never tried, but it is a field that just suits him.

Because he has been a singer himself, and he also sang and danced back then!

A director with singing and dancing experience is relatively easier to grasp the expressive power of "singing and dancing" in musicals.

The plot of the movie itself is also what attracts Zhang Guorong. He likes this love story very much. It is similar to "Stealing Heart", but the core is different.

Such a film that is more mature on the basis of "Stealing Heart" and at the same time has added novel elements is indeed very suitable for Zhang Guorong to continue to level up.

If he just wants to make this movie, he needs to join Wu Yuan's company.

Because Wu Yuan took out the script.

There is no way he would be kind enough to give someone else a script for free.

"Director Wu, I really like this book."

Zhang Guorong smiled at Wu Yuan and pushed the script back to Wu Yuan, "Just tell me, what are the conditions?"

Wu Yuan, who likes to be direct like this, also smiled and stated his conditions: "Join my company and become a contracted director of the Light and Shadow Era."

"If you sign for eight years at once, I can give you 3% of the company's shares and an annual salary of 200 million yuan per year."

"Of course, I know you don't like this annual salary."

"In addition, I can also promise that you can have 5% of the profit share of the movie that the company invests and scripts for you to shoot, which is the profit of the producer."

"If you write the script yourself, you can fund it yourself, and the company that is not enough will make it up for you, and you will participate in the distribution of benefits according to the actual contribution ratio."

"If you invest in a movie solely by yourself, the company does not need to participate in any profit sharing."

"However, you have the right to reject the script assigned to you by the company, and the company also has the right to evaluate and refuse investment in the script you created."

"That's fair, isn't it?"

The conditions given by Wu Yuan are almost the same as those under which Feng Xiaogang signed with Huayi in 2001.

It's just that the annual salary is 200 million less. Zhang Guorong really doesn't lack these millions. It doesn't matter if you give more or less. Now he really can't compare with Feng Xiaogang in terms of worth (in the field of directing and acting).

In addition, Wu Yuan also mentioned one more condition for the company to arrange the script.

This is because no one at Huayi can write scripts for Feng Xiaogang. Feng Xiaogang has always found screenwriters to write scripts by himself. Of course, Huayi is only responsible for providing money.

Wu Yuan is very confident. He believes that the script he presents will definitely impress Zhang Guorong and will not be easily rejected by Zhang Guorong, so he must make clear the benefits in this regard.

On the contrary, he was not that optimistic about Zhang Guorong's ability to write scripts. Naturally, he could not blindly invest money in him. He still had to pass the evaluation test.

"Eight years? Isn't it a bit too long?" Zhang Guorong frowned, somewhat conflicted with this period of time.

"Is it long?" Wu Yuan raised his legs, leaned on the back of the sofa, spread his hands, and said, "The singers and actors signed record contracts and management contracts for eight or ten years."

"The career of a director is much longer than that of actors and singers who are easily outdated, right?"

"Signing for eight years is not long at all, and eight years can't even cultivate an excellent director."

"Director Wu, I remember you've only been making movies for four years." Zhang Guorong retorted with a twitch of his mouth.

"Chinese film has been developing for 100 years, and only one like me has appeared." Wu Yuan rolled his eyes: "Can this be the same?"

"Anyway, eight years is really not long. I heard that Director Feng and Hua Yi signed a contract for ten years."

Zhang Guorong was silent.

"I'll think about it." He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then stopped making any sound and began to think quietly.

Wu Yuan shrugged and added: "Besides, I only sign your directing contract. Your recording contract and management contract have nothing to do with me."

"You are really not satisfied with your stay in our company by then. Can I really force you to continue directing?"

In fact, this kind of behavior of signing directors will be eliminated by the market in about ten years. After ten years, most directors will not sign their directing contracts with a certain film production company. At most, they will sign a brokerage contract. .

Most of the directors set up their own studios, and then take the script to find the film company to attract investment, and the film company is in a cooperative relationship.

Wu Yuan didn't want to tie Zhang Guorong for the rest of his life, but he just hoped that in the next eight years, he could help him share the burden and become a qualified tool man in the era of light and shadow.

If the development of the light and shadow era is to be fast in the early stage, it is definitely not enough to rely on a director alone.

When the company develops, then Wu Yuan doesn't care about the one or two directors anymore. At that time, there will be many directors rushing to take on his company's plays.

Zhang Guorong still had that pensive look, but Wu Yuan could already see that he was very moved.

Sure enough, after the two sat silently facing each other and drank for a few minutes, Zhang Guorong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reached out and clicked on the script cover of "If Love".

"If this movie is really going to be made, which actors does Director Wu think are suitable to play it?"

Being able to ask this sentence shows that Zhang Guorong really wants to direct this movie.

The fish have been hooked!

Wu Yuan naturally cooperated to talk about this topic.

"I think Zhou Xun is very suitable for the heroine. I have filmed movies with Zhou Xun, and she has also acted in my movies."

Wu Yuan recalled a little, and said with some emotion: "She is really a very spiritual actor, the kind that God feeds food to her mouth."

"Zhou Xun." Zhang Guorong nodded thoughtfully, "He is indeed a good young actor."

"What about the leading actor?"

"I don't have any idea about this either." Wu Yuan spread his hands, "Let's hold a large-scale audition at that time, all actors in the mainland who can act in this movie are called to try it out."

"Only mainland actors?" Zhang Guorong's good-looking eyebrows frowned again. Although he didn't mind using mainland actors, the three leading actors in "Stealing Heart" were all from mainland China, but it didn't mean he wanted Wu Yuan to discriminate against Hong Kong Island. actor.

Speaking of which, apart from Zhang Guorong, Wu Yuan has never used any actor from Hong Kong Island!

"Director Wu." Zhang Guorong asked with some hesitation: "Do you have any bad views on the actors in Hong Kong Island?"

"Actually, the actors on Hong Kong Island are also very good. Their acting skills are also very good, and they are also very dedicated to their work."

"Otherwise, the Hong Kong Film Awards would not be so successful and influential throughout Asia."

"They are very good. I don't have any bad opinions." Wu Yuan quickly shook his head and explained: "I also like the excellent actors in Hong Kong Island. Otherwise, why would I have approached you to film "The Embalmer"?"

"I just hope to cultivate a group of outstanding mainland actors."

"Look, the film market in the mainland will definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future, but the number of outstanding actors in the mainland is completely insufficient. Then what should I do if the market grows and there are no actors available?"

"I know that Hong Kong Island has many excellent actors, but Hong Kong Island also makes a lot of movies every year. There is no shortage of job opportunities for Hong Kong Island actors, and they have already cultivated enough outstanding actors."

"But mainland actors are in urgent need of growth now, so we must give more opportunities to mainland actors."

Well, this statement is half true and half false, Wu Yuan still has some bad views on Hong Kong actors, but not against everyone, but only against some actors.

Otherwise, Wu Yuan would not have saved Zhang Guorong.

He also likes actors like Hua Ge, Gu Zai, and Liu Qingyun, but he really didn't come across a suitable opportunity to cooperate.

However, there is a high probability that Wu Yuan and the Hong Kong Film Awards will not be destined.

There are many conditions for mainland film and television works to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The director must have a Hong Kong Island permanent resident identity card.

The producer of the film has at least one Hong Kong Island company.

The staff of at least 6 projects in the film hold Hong Kong Island permanent resident identity cards.

Two of the above three conditions must be met in order to be eligible for the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

Wu Yuan is not from Hong Kong, and it is impossible for him to accept Hong Kong capital to invest in his own films. He is destined to have no chance to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

This also makes him not very interested in using actors from Hong Kong Island, at least he will not take the initiative to pursue them.

Zhang Guorong is different, as long as at least 6 project staff in the film are from Hong Kong Island, he can participate in the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

Actors are also considered one of the crew's projects.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan added: "The role of Nie Wen in the script, I think it would be good to have Zhang Xueyou play it."

You said I don’t like Hong Kong Island actors, so I’ll find a Hong Kong Island actor to be the voice actor for mainland actors, and it can also meet the requirements for participating in the Academy Awards.
