Millennium director

Is Zhang Guorong excited?

Very exciting!

After he read the script of If Love, he fell in love with the movie!

Musicals, this is a field that he has never tried before, but it is a field that suits him just right.

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

It is relatively easier for a director who has experience in singing and dancing 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 Hearts, but the core is different.

Such a movie, which is more mature on the basis of Stealing Heart and also has novel elements, is indeed very suitable for Zhang Guorong to continue to improve.

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

Because Wu Yuan came up with 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 2 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 will make up for it if it's not enough. You will participate in the profit distribution according to the actual capital 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 two million less. Zhang Guorong is really not short of these millions. It doesn't matter if he is given more or less. Now he is indeed not on par with Feng Xiaogang in terms of net worth (referring to the director field).

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 crossed his legs, leaned on the back of the sofa, and spread his hands: Those singers and actors have signed record contracts and management contracts for eight to ten years.

The career of a director is much longer than that of actors and singers who are easily outdated, right?

Eight years is not a long time at all. Eight years can't even produce a good director.

Director Wu, I remember it's only been four years since you started making movies. Zhang Guorong twitched the corner of his mouth and retorted.

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

Anyway, eight years is really not a long time. Director Feng and Hua Yi heard that they 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. In ten years, most directors will not sign their directing contract with a certain film production company, but will only sign an agency contract at most. .

Directors mostly set up their own studios, and then use their scripts to seek investment from film companies, forming a cooperative relationship with the film companies.

Wu Yuan did not want to tie up Zhang Guorong for the rest of his life. 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 you want to develop quickly in the early stage of the light and shadow era, it is definitely not enough to rely on just one director.

When the company develops, Wu Yuan will no longer care about the two directors. By then, there will be many directors rushing to take over his company's projects.

Zhang Guorong still looked thoughtful, but Wu Yuan could already see that he was very moved.

Sure enough, after the two sat in silence and drank for a few minutes, Zhang Guorong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reached out and clicked on the cover of the script 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 has taken the bait!

Wu Yuan naturally cooperated in discussing this topic.

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

Wu Yuan recalled for a while and said with some emotion: She is really a very spiritual actor, the kind who puts food in her mouth.

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

What about the male protagonist?

I don't have much idea about this. Wu Yuan spread his hands and said, Let's hold a large-scale audition at that time, and call all the mainland actors who can play this movie to come and try it out.

Only to mainland actors? Zhang Guorong's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled again. Although he didn't mind using mainland actors. The three leading actors in Stealing Hearts were all from the mainland, but this did not mean that he wanted Wu Yuan to discriminate against Hong Kong Island. actor.

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

Director Wu. Zhang Guorong asked hesitantly: Do you have any bad opinions about the actors in Hong Kong Island?

Actually, the actors in Hong Kong are also very good. Their acting skills are also very good and they are 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 excellent mainland actors.

Look, the mainland's film market will definitely get bigger and bigger in the future, but the number of outstanding actors in the mainland is completely insufficient. So what if the market is big but there are no actors available?

I know there are many excellent actors in Hong Kong Island, but Hong Kong Island also shoots many movies every year. There is no shortage of job opportunities for Hong Kong Island actors, and they have been trained to be outstanding enough.

But mainland actors are in urgent need of growth now. We must give more opportunities to mainland actors.

Well, this is half true and half false. Wu Yuan still has some bad opinions about Hong Kong actors, but he doesn't target everyone, only some actors.

Otherwise Wu Yuan would not have saved Zhang Guorong.

He also likes actors such as Brother Hua, Goo Jai, and Liu Qingyun, but he really hasn't come across any suitable opportunities for cooperation.

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 be a Hong Kong Island Permanent Resident Identity Card.

The film is produced by at least one Hong Kong company.

At least six project staff in the film hold Hong Kong Island permanent identity cards.

Two of the above three conditions must be met 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 Hong Kong actors, at least he will not actively pursue them.

Zhang Guorong, on the other hand, is different. He can participate in the Hong Kong Island Film Awards as long as at least six project staff in the film are from Hong Kong.

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.
