Chapter 174 Dinner Party
  When Jin Chengwu heard this, he thought Wang Shu was giving him face, and the smile on his face became even bigger. While handing Wang Shu his business card, he said: "Director Wang can call me next time he makes a movie, as long as there is no conflict with my schedule. , will seriously consider it.”

Wang Shu was delighted when he heard what he said, and thought to himself that he would give you a call. Will you consider it if there is no conflict with the schedule?

He is indeed a treasure island actor and deserves his reputation.

He knew that Jin Chengwu was an actor from Baodao Island, and he was also a two-faced person.

Therefore, whether it was the style of Baodao actors or other aspects, he had never thought about collaborating with them.

It is undeniable that there are very few capable commercial film directors in the Mainland, but there is never a shortage of actors.

Grab a handful and have as much as you want.

Wang Shu took Jincheng Wu's business card politely and said, pretending to be embarrassed, "I don't have a business card, so I can't give it to you."

Zhou Xun knew this from Men Qing. She looked at Jincheng Wu, whose face suddenly stiffened, and said, "Director Wang has indeed never had a business card, and he has never given a business card to anyone."

Jinchengwu knew that Zhou Xun and Wang Shu were familiar with each other. When he heard her say this, the look on his face became better. Then he smiled and said, "It's okay. Director Wang has a movie in the future, just call me directly."

"Okay." Wang Shu responded with a smile.

Jinchengwu continued to chat for a few words, and gradually realized that the conversation between Wang Shu and Zhou Xun was delayed, so he said goodbye and left.

Zhou Xun saw Jin Chengwu walking away, turned his head to look at Wang Shu, and asked curiously: "Are you really going to ask him to act?"

Wang Shu looked back at Zhou Xun and said, "What do you think?"

Zhou Xun had a dark face and looked unwilling to guess. Seeing that Wang Shu never took the initiative to say anything, he became even more angry.

Wang Shu felt something in his heart, and then said something ambiguous: "As you know, when I choose an actor, my first consideration is whether the actor is suitable for the role, and then I consider other aspects."

"If there is a suitable role for Jin Chengwu, I might consider it."

"If not, I won't consider it."

What he said to Zhou Xun was very tactful on the surface, but in fact he didn't know how to ask Jin Chengwu to act.

"Why do you say that if there is a suitable role, you might consider it?" Seeing that Wang Shu finally took the initiative to say it, Zhou Xun felt proud at first, and then asked curiously.

Wang Shu heard this and replied calmly: "It's not like we don't have actors in the mainland. If other people are suitable, why should I go find an actor from Treasure Island to star?"

Zhou Xun was speechless when he heard this.

Thinking of Jin Chengwu coming over on his own initiative, Zhou Xun suddenly realized something, and then asked, "What if Baodao comes to you for investment and asks Jin Chengwu to star?"

When Wang Shu heard this, he gave a speechless expression and asked: "Am I short of investment? Do I need investment from Baodao?"

When Zhou Xun heard this, he was speechless again.

She then chatted with Wang Shu for a while and said, "You can have fun here by yourself. I have some acquaintances who want to go over and say hello."

"Go ahead." Wang Shu said with a smile.

Zhou Xun replied with a smile and then left.

Zhao Yanzi in the distance saw Zhou Xun leaving Wang Shu's side, and immediately stepped towards him.

"Hello, Director Wang, I am Zhao Yanzi. I like your movies very much."

"Whether it's Buried Alive or The Tuner, I've seen them all."

“These are all excellent works!”

Zhao Yanzi accompanied the smiling face and took the initiative to talk to Wang Shu.

"Hello, I have also watched "Huan Zhuge Ge", and Xiao Yanzi acted very well." Wang Shu answered with a smile.

At this time, Zhao Yanzi was only 30 years old. She was in the stage of fading away from youth and becoming mature, and she looked very charming.

It's just that this person has a big problem.

When Zhao Yanzi heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and she added with a smile: "I haven't congratulated Director Wang for winning the Golden Deer Award at this Changchun Film Festival."

"Haha." Wang Shu laughed twice, "When you said that, I also remembered that you were also nominated for Best Actress."

"Although I missed it this time, there will be many opportunities in the future. Let's keep up the good work."

Zhao Yanzi glanced at Wang Shu pretending to be resentful and said, "If Director Wang hadn't come here with "The Tuner", I would have had a good chance of winning the award, okay?"

If it were any other young man, seeing Zhao Yanzi so resentful, he would definitely be unable to help but turn into a flower protector.

It’s just that Wang Shu is different.

He smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't want to come at first, but in the end, I had no choice but to come."

Zhao Yanzi's face froze when she heard this, and she only had a brief moment to gather her emotions.

These words sounded to her ears as if Wang Shu and Jiang Wenli didn't want to come, but the organizer insisted on them coming, and also forced the grand prize she wanted but didn't get into their hands.

This feeling
  There is an urge to yell.

Zhao Yanzi calmed down and was about to answer the question when Jiang Wenli led some people over and had to shut her mouth silently.

"Zhao Yanzi, are you here too?" Jiang Wenli and the people behind her first exchanged polite words with Zhao Yanzi, and then Jiang Wenli introduced the identities of the people behind her to Wang Shu.

Wang Shu also knew that some communication was unavoidable on such occasions, so he immediately started chatting with them with a smile on his face.

Zhao Yanzi looked on and realized that there was no chance to interrupt, so she turned around and left silently.

Wang Shu is the director who won the Best Actress Award at Cannes, which is a great help for her who wants to go further in the film and television industry.

But, I couldn't get online.

In fact, her company had contacted Wang Shu's Yishu Company for a long time. However, Wang Shu was not short of investment, which led to many actors, including Zhao Yanzi, wanting to play Wang Shu's role, but there was no corresponding way.     Other directors will basically seek external investment when making movies.

Therefore, the casting rights are also in the hands of investors and producers.

The investor or producer has the final say as to which actor they want to star in.

The director is just a part-time worker.

Directors like Wang Shu, who are not short of investment and are investors themselves, are not included in this list.

It's not easy to plug actors.

Just like Zhou Xingxing in Hong Kong Island, he has the final say in the selection of actors in the dramas he produces.

Rather than the investors and producers making the decision.

"Cannes. Best Actress," Zhao Yanzi whispered to herself.

Her goal has always been to enter the international stage.

It's just that although she has acted in several movies now, "Lovers' Knot" helped her win the Best Actress Award at the 8th Shanghai International Film Festival and the Best Actress Award at the 11th Huabiao Awards. .

Originally, she would also win the Best Actress Award at this Changchun Film Festival.

In addition to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, I have won every prestigious award in the Mainland.

The appearance of Jiang Wenli interrupted this momentum.

The culprit is probably Wang Shu.

The dinner ended with many people working in the film and television industry interacting with each other. Wang Shu, as an accomplished director, was roped in to exchange phone numbers even though he did not have a business card.

Jiang Wenli glared at him angrily and said speechlessly: "You are now the boss of a company. Why don't you even have a business card?"

Wang Shu smiled awkwardly and said: "When I go back this time, let the people in the company prepare it."

In fact, the company had already prepared a business card for him, but he just didn't use it.

Jiang Wenli shook her head and asked, "Should we go back to the hotel now or somewhere else?"

"I'm not familiar with this place. Where else can I go if I don't go back to the hotel?" Wang Shu answered subconsciously.

Jiang Wenli heard this, looked at him, and asked softly, intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you want me to take you around?"

"It's so late? Where can we go?" Wang Shu declined.

The awards ceremony started at 7 o'clock in the evening and lasted for more than an hour, followed by the dinner party. It is now past ten o'clock.

Jiang Wenli also felt that it was a little late, so she did not continue the topic, but asked: "Going back tomorrow?"

"The crew is still waiting. A day's delay will cost a day. How can we not go back in a hurry?" Wang Shu answered.

Jiang Wenli nodded, knowing that Wang Shu was directing and acting in an idol drama.

The heroine is still Fan Binbin.

She couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Why are you so persistent in filming idol dramas?"

"Isn't it good to make a movie?"

Wang Shu knew that many people would have this doubt, so he immediately explained with a smile: "I plan to bring the team in the company to gain experience. What will I do if I don't make idol dramas?"

When Jiang Wenli heard this explanation, she immediately thought about it and asked with a smile: "Are you ready to train your own team for filming?"

"We already have a company, so we can't just cobble together a team every time we film, right?" Wang Shu answered with a smile.

Jiang Wenli nodded and responded with a smile: "That's the truth."

"If you want to become bigger and stronger, you really need to cultivate your own team. This will make it easier to recruit a crew for filming in the future."

Wang Shu smiled and said: "So... this is not just about idol dramas?"

"After all, the team in my company is considered a novice. If we start working on other projects from the beginning, we may be too busy to handle them."

"Idol dramas are relatively simple."

When Jiang Wenli heard Wang Shu's explanation, she already understood what was going on, and then smiled and said: "You are already preparing to train your own team, but you don't want to be an artist manager?"

Wang Shu smiled and said, "We have no plans for this yet."

He didn't talk too much, and he might sign some artists in the future.

Just now, there's no need.

Once you reach the level of Zhang Yimou or Zhou Xingxing, it’s not too late to get involved.

Because, at that time, he can also find any artist and turn him into a tree girl.

Naturally, like Zhang Yimou and Zhou Xingxing, they have to sign a contract with their own company before they can praise them.

Otherwise, why should you praise it?

In fact, domestic entertainment companies that are both producers and artist managers are considered a monopoly and seriously infringe on the rights of artists.

Although, if you don’t sign the overlord treaty, why should others praise you?
  But is there a possibility?
  As long as the relevant laws and regulations are regulated, if a production company wants to make money from a project, it has to support it even if it doesn’t support it?
  It is undeniable that the domestic market will become bigger and bigger in the future, and many artists will be paid very high salaries.

but.
  Many newcomers face various overlord clauses that violate their three views.

What's more, after signing the contract, they still have to pay money to work for the company.
