It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 156: Chen Fei from China Film Academy and Shanghai Film Academy...the Iron Triangle unites again!Emperor's status as a worker is confirmed!

The time came to 07:30 on time.

...

As soon as the two parties met, Yang Shoucheng stretched out his hand with a smile, "Haha, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Director Chen can achieve such achievements at a young age. He is indeed a hero from a young age!"

Who doesn’t like to hear compliments?

Chen Fei immediately showed a smile on his face, "Director Yang is also getting stronger with age."

After exchanging a few words, Yang Shoucheng pointed to the woman standing next to him and briefly introduced her identity, "This is my wife, Lu Xiaoman."

"Hello Director Chen."

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

Huo Wenxi is already an old acquaintance, and there is no need to introduce him.

Several people divided their seats and sat down at a tea table.

Huo Wenxi lowered his head and said nothing. He took the initiative to make tea and waited for the next negotiation to proceed.

The aroma of tea lingered against Yang Shoucheng's slightly lonely old face.

He sighed, and although he was unwilling to do so, he still had to say: "Hong Kong films have declined. The glorious era of Hong Kong films has gone forever with "Infernal Affairs."

Chen Fei shrugged, "The market determines development. Hong Kong is too small to support the continued upward growth of the film and television industry."

Yang Shoucheng nodded, "Emperor has been trying hard to embrace the mainland in recent years, and even went to Hollywood, but the results are not very good."

Although the expression on Chen Fei's face remained unchanged, he began to complain in his heart.

It’s strange that the effect is good!
Are you really thinking that this is still the time when Hong Kong films in the 80s were glorious?

Except for a few actors with both talent and political integrity, all the other directors and actors from Hong Kong were so arrogant when they went to the mainland that they wanted to look at people with their nostrils.

You can’t even see your own position clearly and you still want to continue developing?
Want to fart?
You are going to the mainland to beg for food. Since you are begging for food, you must act like you are begging for food.

Still want to make money proudly?Do you really think you are an international superstar?
"The times are changing. If you want to make money, you must first understand your identity and status, otherwise you will suffer in the end."

Yang Shoucheng looked slightly embarrassed, "Only some people are still dreaming, and most people are still positive. Those bad artists are destined to have a short journey."

"hope so."

Chen Fei shrugged noncommittally.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Shoucheng leaned his knees slightly and touched Lu Xiaoman beside him.

The main unit stalled and the wingman came on board.

Upon receiving the signal, Lu Xiaoman burst into a smile and said softly: "As for the problems that Director Chen just mentioned, our Emperor has been working hard to change them in recent years.

As you said, times are changing, and people should also change their mentality. "

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoman suddenly sighed, "Unfortunately, the Hong Kong film and television industry has been in decline in recent years, and there are almost no good works like "Infernal Affairs"!
As the old saying goes, a wise woman cannot make a meal without rice. We also want to speed up the progress of embracing the mainland, but we have never had the chance..."

"I do have a pretty good script in my hands."

Chen Fei suddenly spoke up, directly interrupting Lu Xiaoman's idea of ​​continuing.

He likes to work in a straightforward style. He just needs to state his position and bottom line. No matter how much he continues to say, it will be nonsense.

Hearing Chen Fei's words, Yang Shoucheng and Lu Xiaoman, who were sitting opposite, suddenly brightened up.

Even Huo Wenxi, who was making tea, was slightly startled, with a hint of joy on his face!
Yang Shoucheng climbed up the pole, "I don't know if there is any chance for Emperor and Director Chen to cooperate? We are really in urgent need of partners like you."

The biggest taboo in negotiations is to expose a sense of need, but this does not apply to the current scenario.

From the moment Chen Fei landed on Hong Kong Island and was warmly received by Huo Wenxi, the Emperor had already revealed a very strong sense of need.

Seeing the anxious expressions of the people in front of him, Chen Fei asked knowingly: "The premise of cooperation is equality and reciprocity. Now I want to know, what are your advantages?"

They are all veterans, how could Yang Shoucheng not understand the meaning of Chen Fei's words.

He answered without hesitation: "Actors, money, a mature production and filming team, and publicity channels."

"So, all that's left is a good script, right?"

"That's right." Yang Shoucheng responded without hesitation.

Chen Fei didn't say anything else, he just took out the script he had prepared and put it on the table.

Seeing this, Yang Shoucheng's eyes lit up and he hurriedly looked around.

"Ip man?"

He murmured, a look of interest on his face.

Not to mention anything else, just the title of the movie was enough to make him feel excited!

Recently, the movie "Fearless" invested by China Film, Beijing Film Studio, and Li Lianlian is currently being filmed in Hong Kong.

When the group was first established and the project was established, Yang Shoucheng had been coveting it for a long time, wanting to get involved and get a piece of the pie.

It's a pity that they didn't give him this chance at all.

But now, Chen Fei suddenly brought out "Ip Man", which was a bit interesting.

As a native of Hong Kong, Yang Shoucheng is very familiar with the two kung fu masters, Huo Yuanjia and Ip Man.

Huo Yuanjia is a patriotic martial artist in modern China who is well-known in the martial arts world. He once founded the "Jingwu Association" and proposed the connotation of "cultivating national integrity and promoting the martial spirit".

Generally speaking, this person's status in the world is very high.

In comparison, "Ip Man" is slightly less well-known nationwide.

But here in Hong Kong, there are many people who know him well.

As a master of Wing Chun, Ip Man single-handedly promoted the development of Wing Chun and increased Wing Chun's popularity around the world.

One of his most proud achievements is that he has taught a Kung Fu superstar who is famous all over the world.

Li Xiaolong!
For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Yang Shoucheng's mind.

"Can I see the script?" he asked eagerly.

"can."

After getting Chen Fei's permission, he hurriedly stood up and took over the script, and he couldn't wait to turn to the first page.

The scent of tea lingered, hazy on his cheeks again.

Only this time, the loneliness on his face had long since disappeared, leaving only excitement and surprise!

The quality of the script is worthy of Chen Fei, the billionaire commercial film director, and there is absolutely nothing to say about it.

What really excited Yang Shoucheng was the story.

Defeat the Japanese army with one against ten!
Advocating martial arts and virtue, China will be undefeated!
"Foshan Ye Man! Good! So good!"

After reading the script, the 62-year-old Yang Shoucheng felt so happy that he even had the idea of ​​killing the little Japanese again with a knife!
Across the tea table, Chen Fei stretched out his hand with a smile and took the script back from him.

Yang Shoucheng watched helplessly, subconsciously wanting to reach out, but his reason quickly returned.

This script is not from the Emperor, but from the young man in front of him who is only 21 years old but has already won the Golden Bear Award and is known as the most commercially valuable boy in the Mainland.

"Is Mr. Yang still satisfied?"

"Satisfied! Very satisfied! This is definitely a rare masterpiece!"

Chen Fei smiled and said, "Since Director Yang is satisfied, let's talk about cooperation and investment."

The style of this kind of Hong Kong film is quite special. If you want to produce an original film, it still has to be produced by a production company on Hong Kong Island.

Emperor is indeed a good choice.

Of course, Chen Fei would never let go of the opportunity to put personal goods in it.

Some characters can still be used to give favors.

It's easier to do things when you have more friends.

"it is good."

Yang Shoucheng was a little surprised. He seemed to have never expected that Chen Fei would act so straightforwardly.

If anyone else was holding a script of such excellent quality, they would definitely have to "eat and drink enough" before they could start talking about business.

Chen Fei did not beat around the bush with him, and stated his decision categorically, "I will produce the script, plus investment, I will take [-]%.

Emperor is responsible for the filming and production, and can also account for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% ​​will be given to China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group Corporation. "

Ok? ? ?
Yang Shoucheng couldn't help but frowned when he heard the names "China Film" and "Shanghai Film".

"The Emperor also has publicity and distribution channels in the Mainland, so why should we give them two equal shares? The benefits can be shared equally between our two families."

Chen Fei looked at him with some surprise, "Didn't Mr. Yang say that he wants to embrace the mainland? You have to know that it is not a good habit to eat alone in China. If we make money together, we can make this road wider and take greater steps." Faster.

What's more, is Emperor's publicity channels in the mainland stronger than those of China Film and Shanghai Film?If you want your movie to have a higher box office, you have to work harder in terms of publicity and distribution. "

Upon hearing this, Yang Shoucheng immediately fell silent.

Once something is deeply ingrained, even if you want to change it, your subconscious words and actions will still reveal your true nature.Originally, Yang Shoucheng wanted to ask about copyright, but his words that were not conducive to unity just now destined him to be a "worker" and earn some "hard money."

Of course, even if he made a request for copyright, Chen Fei would never agree.

"Ip Man" is a Kung Fu movie series, divided into 4 parts in total. The copyright must be firmly in hand!

"When do we sign the contract?"

"After the Academy Awards ceremony, China Film and Shanghai Film and Television will come over and sign the contract together."

Academy Awards?
Hearing this word, Yang Shoucheng immediately smiled knowingly, "I almost forgot, in order to show how much the Emperor attaches importance to this cooperation, we also prepared a small gift for Director Chen."

"Oh? What is it?" Chen Fei's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he already had some guesses in his heart.

"Director Chen will naturally know it after the Academy Awards ceremony starts the day after tomorrow."

"Haha, then I'll wait and see."

Yang Shoucheng stood up and extended his hand as enthusiastically as when he first arrived, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance."

Chen Fei then stood up and responded with a friendly smile, "Okay, happy cooperation."

The business had been discussed, and Yang Shoucheng had no intention of staying any longer.

He had to go back and add up the total.

In tonight's negotiation, Chen Fei seemed to have revealed a lot of information, which deserves his careful consideration.

Before leaving, Huo Wenxi finally said the first words of the night, "Director Chen, if there are suitable actors in the future, you can also contact me. The Emperor also has many excellent contracted actors."

Chen Fei nodded, "Okay."

Watching the figures disappear at the end of the corridor, Chen Fei shrugged, with a hint of joking on his face.

Who doesn’t know that it’s great to eat alone?

But the prerequisite for eating alone is to be able to keep eating alone.

Although Chen Fei is the actual owner of the script, the filming and production have to be done by the Emperor. Who knows if they will do anything in this?
He didn't want to see a straw hat cost $6000.

Bringing China Film and Shanghai Film Group into the fold will bring about two benefits, but it will also be good for itself.

At least in the subsequent filming, he doesn't have to keep an eye on it. He can just send a producer over when the time comes.

As for the gift Yang Shoucheng said...

No need to guess, it’s definitely the prize!
……

……

Time soon came to March 3th.

In the past two days, Chen Fei did not step out of the hotel. Instead, he was sorting out the "Hong Kong movie gift package" in the room.

There were so many excellent scripts stored in it that he felt overwhelmed. He had to organize them carefully and determine the time when they should be taken out.

At the same time, he also called Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun respectively to inform them about the investment in "Ip Man".

As expected, the two of them promised to arrive in Hong Kong in time as soon as they received the news.

This is a piece of cake in the sky. If you don’t even take the free money, wouldn’t you be a fool?
So, on the morning of the 27th, the two people rushed over from the mainland non-stop and met up with Chen Fei at the Peninsula Hotel.

The moment they walked in, the two asked for the script of "Ip Man".

While reading the content of the script, Han Sanping asked: "You just went to Hong Kong Island to make a movie quietly. Why are you getting involved with the Emperor's people?"

And Ren Zhonglun, who was reading the script with him next to him, also added at the right time, "This book is of good quality. Can't it be filmed in the mainland? Why should it be cheaper than the Emperor's?"

Chen Fei explained: "The background of the story is in Foshan and Hong Kong. The style I want cannot be shot in the mainland."

Han Sanping frowned slightly, "The actors and production team are all provided by the Emperor?"

"Yes, the main actors still have to be from here."

"Do you have the right to cast?"

"Don't worry about this." Chen Fei smiled confidently, "I still know which money can be earned and who can use it, and I think the Emperor knows better than me. This movie is for mainland China, not Taken for Hong Kong to see."

Hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Han Sanping's face, "That's fine. If you need anything from the two of us, you can just ask when the time comes."

Chen Fei chuckled, "I'm just waiting for your words."

Making money is important, but one must also stand firm. On this point, Chen Fei has never let the mainland down.

At this time, Ren Zhonglun suddenly seemed to remember something and said: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I need to inform you."

"what?"

"The Shanghai International Film Festival has started collecting entries. Your film "No Man's Land" is also being invited. The organizer wants to invite you to participate. Please let me be the messenger."

Shanghai International Film Festival? ? ?
After thinking about it, Chen Fei asked, "Can you not go?"

"Ah?" Ren Zhonglun was a little confused, "Why not go? The Shanghai International Film Festival is also an internationally recognized Class A film festival, and its gold content is not low!"

Chen Fei curled his lips and said, "Director Ren, have you forgotten who the judges of the Shanghai International Film Festival are? I feel like I'm just a foil when I go there. Will those old scholars give me the grand prize?"

As soon as these words came out, Ren Zhonglun suddenly came back to his senses.

He suddenly remembered that when Chen Fei took "No Man's Land" to Berlin to compete, there was a lot of ridicule in China!
The old guys taking the lead among them are the resident judges of the Golden Rooster and Shanghai International Film Festival.

The conflict between Chen Fei and them is not small.

Han Sanping on the side insisted on the idea that watching the excitement is not too big a deal, and said provocatively: "How about giving it a try and seeing what the film that won the Golden Bear in Berlin can do in China?"

"Don't go."

Chen Fei didn't want to be fooled by him.

Having a golden bear is enough, why bother to make it uncomfortable? If you really give yourself a consolation prize, will you go up or not?
If you go up, you will lose face. If you don't go up, you will lose face. On the contrary, you will end up as a human being.

Might as well find an excuse not to go.

"Okay, since you don't want to go, forget it, I'll just refuse it for you."

...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Fei, Han Sanping, and Ren Zhonglun rushed to the hotel designated by the organizer of the Academy Awards.

There is also a red carpet ceremony in the evening. If you go earlier, it depends on how the organizer arranges the red carpet.

After getting out of the car outside the hotel and walking inside, Ren Zhonglun asked curiously: "I remember you seem to have another nomination?"

"Well, best action choreography, nominated for "Kung Fu"."

"Sure?"

"It depends on luck."

"I feel like your luck has always been pretty good."

...

Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Chen Fei.

It is no exaggeration to say that if this combination were placed in the mainland, they could definitely make waves in the film and television industry!
Oh!wrong!

To be precise, it has already started.

"Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing", these two films not only established Chen Fei's position among mainland commercial film directors, but also became the most successful film investment plans of China Film and Shanghai Film Corporation last year.

The former had a box office of 1.5 million, the latter 2.2 million, and the investment in the two movies did not even exceed 2000 million!

This is completely a myth in the current film and television circles!
So, when the three of them walked side by side to the hotel, they immediately attracted countless eyes!

Fortunately for the actors who came from the mainland, they are already used to this iron triangle-style combination.

But many film and television companies, directors, actors, etc. on Hong Kong Island look at the three of them with complicated eyes.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as these three people identify a certain actor and want to start praising each other, even if the actor has no characteristics, he will be praised!

"Huang Bo" is one of the masterpieces.

Stones, racing cars, no man's land.

This characterless actor, oh no... he should be an extremely ugly actor, but he was suddenly praised as a popular movie star in the mainland!
If this were said before, who would have dared to believe it?Who can believe it?
Watching the three people enter the hall, many of them were eager to go up and say hello. At least they would become familiar with each other, and it would be beneficial to their development in the mainland.

Compared with those high-ranking film and television agencies, some actors with more flexible minds have already seen it.

Hong Kong Island can no longer restore its previous glory, and embracing the mainland is the next development plan.

However, before they could get closer, Yang Shoucheng, who was not far away, suddenly led a group of Emperor's actors around him.

Several people were chatting and laughing, looking very familiar with each other.

For a moment, many people in the hall changed their expressions!

Emperor?China Film?Shangying?Chen Fei?
What is the situation with these four forces?Why is there a faint... sign of cooperation?
