Millennium director

Wu Yuan still showed his face to Qin Hai.

In addition, this kind of thing that is very difficult and difficult for Zhang Meng is just a piece of cake for Wu Yuan.

The Piano is indeed a very good movie, showing a touching story of family and friendship through the humor and hardships of small people.

More importantly, Wu Yuan liked director Zhang Meng very much and was willing to help.

So when Qin Hailu came to ask for help, Wu Yuan helped her contact Director Han from China Film.

Director Wu's face still has to be sold. After all, Director Wu is not only a director, but also the boss of a large film production company.

With a few words from Wu Yuan, Director Han agreed to arrange the distribution of The Piano of Steel and promised to guarantee at least an 8% filming rate. This was already a great deal of honor to Wu Yuan.

After the screening channel was opened, Zhang Meng was very grateful to Wu Yuan for today's meeting.

Wu Yuan really wanted to meet and chat with Zhang Meng. The director could be hooked back to the company and make movies for the company in the future.

Zhang Mengzheng is suitable for making films that strike a balance between business and literature.

Such as Life Events and The Donkey Gets Water.

Black humorous satirical comedy can also be regarded as Zhang Meng's comfort zone.

In the evening, Wu Yuan met Director Zhang Meng in a private room at Liuquanju in Beijing.

Well, a director with a round face but a thin body who looks like Xia Donghai from With Children wearing glasses.

Director Wu, thank you so much. Without your generous help, it would have been very difficult for our Gang Piano to get scheduled.

As soon as they met, Zhang Meng quickly held Wu Yuan's hand and never let go, his gratitude beyond words.

In fact, he is not a philistine. He never made this movie The Piano for the box office. He just wanted to make a movie in his own mind.

The starting point is the same as Wu Yuan's current starting point for preparing Love Letter, which is to leave something of his own in this world.

It's just that the preparation process for The Piano this time was too bumpy. First, I had to mortgage my house, and then I couldn't afford to pay the crew wages, so I borrowed money from friends. Finally, the post-production funds were not enough, so I asked the heroine to cover the cost. .

Owing so much money, and even dragging the heroine who should have a reasonable income into the water, Zhang Mengye Alexander had to try his best to make the movie return its money, at least to pay back the debt owed and Qin Hailu's salary!

He is so stubborn, but he can actually get a chance to be released in theaters, but the number of films scheduled is definitely very low. Maybe there will only be one show at midnight and in the morning every day, and there will be no shows at other times.

No, Director Zhang made this movie very well. I heard Sister Hailu say that a good movie shouldn't be like a pearl covered in dust.

After Director Zhang's The Piano is released, do you have any new filming plans next?

Well, I haven't thought about this yet. Zhang Meng, who had a bitter face, waved his hands and sighed: This The Piano alone has already made me want to sell the iron, and the next movie will still be missing.

Maybe I will have to work for another ten years to pay off my debts before I have the chance to make another movie.

That's not the case. Wu Yuan was happy. As expected, every mainland art film director has mastered the ability to make misfortune.

I'm paying attention. The Piano has already won the Best Actor Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival, the Best Director Award at the Hong Kong Island Asian Film Festival, and the Best International Film Award at the Miami International Film Festival.

I heard that the Beijing College Student Film Festival also nominated Best Actress and Best Actor, right?

For an excellent director like Director Zhang and such an excellent work as The Piano, everyone will definitely see it. Director Zhang will not lack opportunities to show off his talent in the future.

In fact, even without Wu Yuan's help, The Piano would have been scheduled for theaters.

At that time, when the film was just finished, it was true that my grandma didn't care about my uncle, and no theaters were optimistic about the film, which made Zhang Meng anxious.

But over the past year, in 2011, after the various art film awards that The Piano applied for in the first two months of the year have paid off, the film has entered the field of vision of industry insiders.

Although literary and artistic films have always had great reputations and poor box office, films with good reputations and awards are not so bad that they cannot be released in theaters, and many theaters have taken the initiative to talk about releasing them.

But now they can only count it as the icing on the cake, and Wu Yuan helped Zhang Meng negotiate with China Film for distribution when everyone was not optimistic about it. This was a timely help.

Zhang Meng still has a clear idea of ​​who is the real noble person.

Without Director Wu's support, The Piano of Steel would not have achieved its current success.

Besides, in front of you, Director Wu, my achievements are nothing like a small witch, and I'm just trying to make a fool of myself in front of Guan Gong. Zhang Meng said humbly.

The two people were pursuing each other so much that Qin Hailu, who was sitting with him, couldn't stand it anymore. She said with a black face: I said, can you two stop complimenting each other here?

Why are you being so polite?

Come on, come on, the dishes are all here, let's eat first.

Hey, Wu Yuan smiled, it must be Sister Hailu. She always loved to cook when she was in school, and her style is still the same now.

Okay, okay, let's chat while we eat.

Director Zhang and I still have a lot to talk about.

As delicious dishes were served one after another and fine wines were opened, Wu Yuan and Zhang Meng quickly started changing glasses.

During the dinner, he did not forget to do business and waved his hoe to poach people.

Director Zhang, the time for directors to work alone has passed.

Now in the Mainland, if you want to make a good movie and make a successful movie, it's not just about making a good movie, it involves the entire chain, from upstream to downstream, shooting, publicity, resources Indispensable.

The old days when the smell of wine was not afraid of the depth of the alley have passed.

The director not only needs to be talented, but also needs to have deep enough capital support behind him.

I really don't want your talent to be buried like this.

Are you interested in joining the Light and Shadow Era, let's do it together?

Unlike other domestic film production companies, our Light and Shadow Era is a true era of respecting directors and creators.

I am a director myself, and I understand very well the difficulties and difficulties that a director faces when creating. This is something that capitalists who only know how to spend money on making movies and who only care about box office first don't understand.

I can pat my chest and say that there is no other company in the three places across the Taiwan Strait that makes contracted directors feel satisfied and at home like Light and Shadow Times!

Director Zhang, I'm not bragging. If you don't believe me, just ask Sister Hailu!
