I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 69
On September 20th, the day after the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, Wan Qingshan and his team, who had won several international film festival awards, landed at the Beijing Airport.

After the Venice Film Festival, Wan Qingshan did not return to China. Instead, he went to participate in some unknown international film festivals in Europe.

This made all reporters think that Wanqingshan would participate in all international film festivals opening during this period.So, they didn't follow him, nor did they go out of their way to inquire about Wanqingshan's itinerary.

As a result, Wan Qingshan and his team, who had returned home with the Golden Lion Award, landed in the capital and did not meet a single reporter.

After leaving the airport, Wan Qingshan stopped, turned around and said, "Yan Dong, Brother Cheng, you go back and rest for two days. The filming of "The True Meaning of Love" will start the day after tomorrow."

Yan Dong and Li Yancheng nodded and each got into a taxi and went back.

"Brother Bo, please help me take my luggage back first. I have to go to China Film Academy."

"Okay, I'm going home first."

After Yu Bo finished speaking, he packed Wanqingshan's suitcase and walked towards the taxi.

Then, Wan Qingshan and Zhang Zong went to China Film Academy.

"Congratulations, Qingshan."

After Han Sanping saw Wan Qingshan, he stood up and congratulated with a smile.

After a few congratulations, Han Sanping asked Zhang Zong to leave first. Then, he suppressed his smile and took out a newspaper from the drawer of his desk.

"Look!"

Wan Qingshan took the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page of the newspaper, 'Behind the Venice Golden Lion Award for "Heart"'.

The first two lines of the news praised how good "Heart" was, and praised Wan Qingshan's acting skills, and then started criticizing it.

Some insider broke the news that Wan Qingshan tricked Liu Wei into joining the crew in the name of the second male lead, but after filming, Liu Wei's scenes were cut.

After reading the newspaper, Wan Qingshan frowned and asked, "Director Han, who is trying to punish me."

If it were just the previous criticism, Wan Qingshan would only think that Liu Wei was dissatisfied, so he disclosed it to the media.But the subsequent criticism clearly showed that someone was targeting him.

"This is the Beijing Entertainment News. Who do you think is trying to trick you?"

Wan Qingshan immediately blurted out, "Beijing Circle?"

Nowadays, the influence of the Beijing Circle in the entertainment industry has been greatly reduced, but in the capital, the influence is still quite strong, so when I heard the Beijing Entertainment News, I thought of the Beijing Circle.

Han Sanping frowned and shook his head, "After this issue of the newspaper came out, the editor resigned and left, so I didn't find out who was behind it."

Han Sanping's words made Wan Qingshan think silently for a moment.

Then - he was even more convinced that it was Jingquan.

"A World Without Thieves" has not yet been released, and the highest box office of a movie with Feng Xiaogang is over 5000 million.

And his "Selection" has a box office of more than 4000 million, plus he has the title of Berlin Best Actor and Golden Lion Award Director.

His status is not lower than that of the great director Feng Xiaogang, but he only has one movie released.

As long as the commercial film he is making is a hit at the box office, his status will be above Feng Xiaogang's.

Now Feng Xiaogang is a flag of the Beijing Circle. Wanqing Mountain, which is also developing in the capital, has stepped down the flag of the Beijing Circle. Then the Beijing Circle will...
Although his commercial film may not be successful, if it is successful, it will be too late, so we will attack him first.

After Wan Qingshan thought carefully, he raised his head and asked, "Director Han, what does the General Administration say?"

Han Sanping's face turned green and he said coldly, "Originally, this report would not have any impact on you, but I didn't expect that CCTV reported it in a cryptic way. I lobbied the General Administration on the censorship of "Heart"."

Wan Qingshan's heart suddenly trembled. He thought of the CCTV reporter who interviewed him at the Venice Film Festival.

"Fuck, CCTV reporters can also be bribed by Beijing. Fortunately, I didn't say the wrong thing at the beginning." Wan Qingshan cursed angrily in his heart.

Han Sanping saw that Wan Qingshan was stunned, thinking that Wan Qingshan was worried about punishment, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, you just won the Golden Lion Award, I won't ban you from directing."

"Director Han, what kind of punishment did the General Administration give me?"

"It's nothing, it's just that "Heart" is prohibited from being released in the mainland."

Wan Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, "Just ban the movie. Anyway, this movie won't do well at the box office."

Immediately, Wan Qingshan thought of something, "Director Han, this ban on the film will not affect the sale of copyrights."

"This does not affect it. The banned film is only prohibited from being released in mainland China, but the property rights are still ours." Wan Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, "Director Han, except for the Asian copyrights, I have already sold them. I have also sold the copyrights of several countries in Asia. Can you help sell them?" .”

Seeing Han Sanping nod, Wan Qingshan suddenly remembered Yi Qingyao's words.

"Director Han, "Selection" is selling well in island countries. I don't know about South Korea yet. But "In the Heart" won the Golden Lion Award after all. You can charge a higher price. After all, the box office is gone and you can only rely on copyright fees. ”

"You don't look like a filmmaker, you look like a money-crazy person. Don't worry, China Film Group accounts for half of the investment, so you must be committed to the price."

"Hehe, this filmmaker also needs to eat." Wan Qingshan replied with a smile.

These words made Han Sanping couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, you go back and rest, and then seize the time to shoot your movie."

Han Sanping was about to drive people away, but Wan Qingshan didn't leave immediately.

"Um, Director Han, to invest in the new movie, I have to mortgage my real estate to make up for it. Can you divide the 700 million euros first and let me redeem the real estate certificate first?"

In terms of money, Han Sanping has always been very forthcoming with Wan Qingshan's requirements.

"no problem."

He responded with a smile, turned around and asked his assistant to call the finance person in.

After finishing his work, Wan Qingshan also said goodbye to Han Sanping as soon as the finance manager left.

He had just taken two steps when suddenly, Han Sanping stood up, patted Wan Qingshan's shoulder, and said solemnly,

"Qingshan, you can make a good movie, and I will take care of the rest. Don't worry about anything else."

"Director Han, thank you very much." Wan Qingshan smiled and thanked him sincerely.

After leaving China Film, Wan Qingshan stood at the side door of China Film, then took out his cell phone and called Chen Chen.

After hanging up the phone, he took a taxi to Qingshan Film and Television Company.

"Guide Wan."

In the office, Wan Qingshan, who was looking at the computer, looked up at Chen Chen who was rushing over.

"Chen Chen, please close the door first."

Chen Chen's eyes widened, and then he tightly protected his chest with his hands.

Seeing this, Wan Qingshan laughed and scolded, "What are you thinking about, little girl? Are you as beautiful as my girlfriend?"

Chen Chen thought about Chen Yumo's appearance, then she smiled and hurriedly closed the door.

"Director Wan, I'm sorry, I've watched too many TV series in the past two days, and it's a conditioned reflex." Chen Chen explained with a slight blush.

"Okay, don't explain. Let me ask you, have you heard of the Zhu Xian novel?"

Chen Chen thought about it for a moment and shook his head blankly, "Director Wan, I'm sorry, I don't read novels."

"It's okay if you don't know. You can find it by searching online. I'm going to give you two tasks now. The first one is to buy Zhu Xian's film and television adaptation rights. The longer the adaptation rights period, the better. The second one is to buy Zhu Xian's film and television adaptation rights. The longer the adaptation period, the better. , you find a middleman to buy the online broadcast rights of all Feng Xiaogang's movies."

"Understood, Director Wan." Chen Chen nodded in confusion.

"After you negotiate, you give me a price and I'll give you the money."

"Yes, then Director Wan, I'm going to get busy."

"Well, let's go."

After Chen Chen walked out of the office, Wan Qingshan looked at the computer screen and murmured, "Let's wait a few more years. After novels like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" come out, we can buy all the film and television adaptation rights. Then we can just sit back and collect the money." .”

After Wan Qingshan knew that the Beijing circle was trying to punish him, he thought about how to fight back.Standing at the door of China Film Academy, thinking about it over and over again, I found that I had no choice for a while.

So, he had no choice but to buy the online copyrights of all Feng Xiaogang's movies. In the future, when the online broadcast rights become valuable, it would give them a little heartache.

Thinking of online copyright, Wan Qingshan also thought of film and television adaptation rights of novels.

When he came back to check, he discovered that many novels had not been released yet.Among the novels released now, only the film and television adaptation rights of "Zhu Xian" are of some value.
