Chapter 70 Look at the decision
Zhang Yimou is deeply fascinated by his art world, and Zhang Weiping packaged and marketed a commercial film Empire State Building, which jointly created the first place in the production of Chinese commercial films.
Judging from the movies released by the new picture company: "Speak Well", "No One Less", "My Father and Mother", "Happy Time", "Hero" and the upcoming "Ambush on All Sides", "Walking a Thousand Miles", "All Over the City with Golden Armor", "Three Shots Shooting Surprise", "Hangthorn" Love of Trees.
So this new picture company can be said to be Zhang Yimou's own private studio, and the new picture company has always referred to the agency for the distribution and production of Zhang Yimou's films.
Although the chairman of the company is Zhang Weiping now, if it can get Zhang Yimou's approval, it goes without saying that the matter is done. Zhang Yimou's status in the new picture company is similar to that of Wang Zhengfei in Xingchen Entertainment. The situation is also similar. They are all the trump cards of each other's companies and must hold the company. Shares can have a great influence on the company's decision-making in general.
If you can convince Zhang Yimou, the release of "Immort of Life" can be said to be a stable thing. After all, Zhang Yimou is a director, and his vision will not be so superficial. He only relies on investment to judge the quality of a movie. Besides, judging from the films made by Zhang Yimou, he has his own ideas. Naturally, a director is not comparable to a mediocre director.
After making up his mind, Wang Zhengfei did not hesitate to come forward to see him.
"Hello, Director Zhang!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"Are you?" Zhang Yimou basically had no impression of Wang Zhengfei, but he realized in an instant that he should not be a fan or fan, because the reaction was too calm.
"My name is Wang Zhengfei. I'm an artist who just signed a contract with Star Entertainment. I just entered the entertainment industry!" Wang Zhengfei replied.
Although Zhang Yimou has no impression of this so-called Star Entertainment, he only thinks that Wang Zhengfei is an artist who is attached to him. Over the years, he has seen a lot. Those who don't want to stand out in the entertainment industry and who don't want to become famous.
If an actress wants to become famous, it is nothing more than three companions. It is the easiest way to become famous, and male stars are almost the same. They just want to be with those rich women, but these are only the accumulation of funds, and they also need to be attached to these predecessors who have become famous in the entertainment industry, especially the directors, to get the opportunity to be photographed. Has he seen little in the past few years? Among them, the enchanting actresses don't know how many.
"Hello, what's the matter?" Zhang Yimou will naturally have no attitude towards this kind of relationship, and he is not a beautiful woman.
"Well, our Star Company has shot a film and is seeking to release it. I want to discuss the distribution agency with Director Zhang's new picture company. I don't know if Director Zhang is available!" Wang Zhengfei said that there are Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping, two bigwigs who have been ups and downs in the entertainment industry for many years and are extremely influential in their respective fields. No wonder that the new picture company can find a way out among many private enterprises. The first batch of them are qualified for issuance, because whether it is hardware or capital, the new picture company is only It can be regarded as medium. Without these two bosses, it would not be their turn at all.
In this way, Zhang Yimou became interested. This time he came to Shanghai for the casting of "Ten Sides Ambush" which is about to start shooting. As the annual drama he prepared for 2004, the casting of "Ten Sides Ambush" has been carried out for a long time, although the leading actor Andy Lau, Jin Chengwu, and the heroine have also selected an old partner who has cooperated for many years, Zhang Ziyi, known as the International Chapter.
However, there are still some supporting roles to be determined. Although these roles are not attractive to those big stars at all, it is a rare opportunity for some newcomers or unsatisfactory second- and third-rate stars to strive to appear in Zhang Yimou's movies.
At the beginning, when Wang Zhengfei was introduced like this, Zhang Yimou also thought that he was such a person. He didn't have a good impression of Wang Zhengfei in his heart. If so, he didn't know the rules at all. He should contact his agent or assistant first, and then make an appointment, so he came to him rashly.
He didn't believe that Wang Zhengfei could get the news that he was here and he couldn't get his assistant's phone number.
However, when Wang Zhengfei said this now, he knew that he had misunderstood. He didn't come for the role as he wanted at all, but it was a little strange. Even if it was a movie produced by Xingchen Company, it should be their boss or producer who came to talk to Zhang Weiping. Why? He, a newcomer, will come to him as a director. Is it really the last possible surname? It's just a coincidence.
"If you talk about agency, your boss should come forward to our chairman Zhang Weiping!" Zhang Yimou said that the new picture company has always been only responsible for its own movies, but it does not mean that it will not act as an agent for the works of other companies, otherwise he would not have been so ambitious to get the first batch of private distribution rights.
It's just that powerful blockbusters have been released by monopoly state-owned enterprises such as film and film. The rest are not very good, and they are not interested, so they have always seemed to only represent Zhang Yimou's own movies.
Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, "The reason why I came forward is that I am also the producer, director and leading actor of this film! We also believe in Director Zhang's influence in the new picture company!"
Of course, Wang Zhengfei can't say that. I just happened to meet you, and I was rejected by Shangying again, and then I thought of you. In this way, I completely offended people!
Wang Zhengfei's words stunned Zhang Yimou. If it's the protagonist, it's fine. After all, some plays need young actors, but the director and producer are definitely not people of this age.
No matter which country, it is impossible for teenagers to be directors and producers, unless the investor intends to throw all the money into the water, even if it is thrown into the water, there is still a sound!
Or it's just a movie that plays with ticket hostage, otherwise how can there be a situation where the director, producer and actors are all alone, and since the other party dares to come to the door, he is obviously very confident in the quality of the film, not just playing with ticket hostage.
Since he has come to the door, Zhang Yimou's interest has also been hung up, and it's nothing to see.
"I have to see before I can decide!" Zhang Yimou finally said.
