Entertainment: Boss of Rebirth Coal, started with red poplar honey

however.

As we all know, the bigger the director, the bigger the airs and the harder it is to hire.

They generally only shoot their own work.

Rarely receive outside cooperation.

Just like Feng Xiaogang is the queen director of Huayi, Zhang Yimou, the national teacher, is no exception. Since joining Xin Pictures, his works have been invested by Xin Pictures in these years.

Moreover, many people in the entertainment industry know that the new picture is a distribution and production company specially established by Zhang Wei for the national teacher, and the new picture is only cast in the films of the national teacher, and it is known as the second film in the film circle...

Brother Cheng's network of contacts is connected, and there are very few big names in Hollywood from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait that he doesn't know.

After a brief discussion, Xiao Xing and Li Lianjie cast a look at Brother Nengcheng together.

This is up to you.

Brother Cheng looked helpless and didn't refuse, and directly contacted Zhang Yimou who was preparing a new play in Kyoto through his relationship.

That night.

Just a few hours after the selection of the director was confirmed.

State banquet hall.

Invited by Big Brother Cheng, Xiao Xing, Li Lianjie, Big Brother Cheng, and Zhang Yimou, the best director in China, met for the first time.

"Lian Jie, Brother Cheng, long time no see, the glory is still there, haha..."

Xiao Xing, Li Lianjie, and Brother Cheng arrived first, and Zhang Yimou, who arrived a little later, greeted them warmly as soon as he entered the door.

He has cooperated with Li Lianjie and Brother Cheng more than once, and the relationship is good this time.

"Director Zhang, long time no see."

"Director Zhang is still as energetic as before..."

Li Lianjie and Brother Cheng also hurriedly stood up to greet each other. The three of them had similar identities in the entertainment industry at the time, and there was no distinction between high and low attitudes. They hugged each other and exchanged pleasantries like good friends meeting each other.

When Zhang Yimou saw Xiao Xing who was sitting in the main seat smiling and not saying a word, Zhang Yimou's heart moved, and he immediately guessed Xiao Xing's identity, but he still smiled and looked at Li Lianjie. Brother Cheng asked: "This young talent I don't know if it is..."

Brother Cheng smiled and said: "Come on, let me introduce you, this is the boss of Tianxing Entertainment, the most prestigious company in China, Mr. Xiao."

"Hey, this is director Zhang Yimou."

With a reserved smile on Zhang Yimou's face, he stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Xiao, I have been waiting for a long time."

Xiao Xing got up and grasped the big wrinkled and rough hand of the national teacher, and said with a smile: "Director Zhang is too polite, if you want to say I have admired you for a long time. It should be me who said it. I grew up watching your movies since I was a child, "Sorghum Field" "" Thirteen Hairpins, Red Lantern, Heroic Bear... I still remember a movie you made, each of which is a classic and very exciting."

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou's smile became brighter, and his gaze towards Xiao Xing also changed from a slight strangeness to a little closeness.

Everyone loves to hear good words.

And the praise of a coal boss with unfathomable financial resources and the big boss of an upstart company in the circle made Zhang Yimou very happy.

When they met for the first time, Zhang Yimou had a very good impression of Xiao Xing. Firstly, it was because of Brother Cheng and Li Lianjie's face, and secondly, because of Xiao Xing's identity. Even though he was a little younger, he didn't dare to see clearly.

No one in the domestic entertainment industry knows that the boss of Tianxing Coal is a ruthless character.

If you make him unhappy, you will really spend money on you.

Just a brief touch and a pleasant conversation.

In addition, all those present were able to hold their breath, so the banquet was full of romance and the atmosphere was lively.

When the wine was halfway through, seeing that the timing was almost up, Xiao Xing and Li Lianjie looked at each other, then looked at Director Zhang who was a good friend with Brother Cheng, toasted from a distance: "Director Zhang..."

Zhang Yimou looked back, and quickly raised his glass, "Hey, Mr. Xiao."

"Come on, let me respect you again, thank you for dedicating so many excellent domestic films to our generation."

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "It should be me thanking the thousands of movie fans in Longguo. If it weren't for everyone's support, domestic movies would not be able to achieve today's glory, and it would be impossible for me to grow from an unknown film worker to today. famous director."

"Director Zhang is too humble."

"We must drink this cup together and respect the fans together."

"Haha, yes, let's respect the fans together."

Brother Cheng and Li Lianjie joined in the fun and laughed and raised their glasses.

While talking, the four toasted and drank together.

As soon as the smooth wine entered his throat, Xiao Xing put down his wine glass and clarified the intention of today's invitation.

"Director Zhang, today's meal was actually invited by me, Brother Cheng."

Zhang Yimou looked at Brother Cheng, who shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

Zhang Yimou seemed to realize something, he didn't say a word, he looked at Xiao Xing quietly, waiting for the next content.

Xiao Xing didn't beat around the bush any more, and said directly: "I want to see Director Zhang today, first of all, I hope to make friends with Director Zhang."

"The main purpose is actually to invite Director Zhang to be the director of the film "The King of Kung Fu."

Upon hearing that he was invited to direct "The King of Kung Fu", Zhang Yimou quickly waved his hand and said modestly: "Brother Cheng and Lian Jie's first film together, this is a masterpiece that will definitely be famous in film history, how much is Zhang Yimou Two, I know in my heart that I dare to say that I can direct one or two ordinary movies, but this kind of movie..."

Zhang Yimou's voice paused, he looked at Li Lianjie as the eldest brother, and then looked at Xiao Xing, pretending to be regretful and said: "Xiao Xing, I'm afraid I can't handle this matter, you'd better hire another wise man."

The hearts of Brother Cheng and Li Lianjie who were listening suddenly sank.

They had thought that Zhang Yimou might consider it, but they never thought that they would reject it immediately.

In an instant.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.

Chapter 114 Xiao Xing: Am I That Like Being Taken?

In terms of the main position, Xiao Xing did not expect Zhang Yimou to refuse so happily.

Was flashed a bit.

The smile on his face couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Seeing Brother Cheng and Li Lianjie's persuasion, but still looking apologetic and helpless to the national teacher, Xiao Xing couldn't help sighing in his heart.

He really didn't want to use his trump card in front of his childhood idol.

But the situation is not in control.

He can't do it.

When Brother Cheng, Li Lianjie gave up trying to persuade him one after another, after an embarrassing scene, Xiao Xing, who was silent for a moment, spoke again.

"Director Zhang, we don't need to talk about the unnecessary words. In this way, you can direct "The King of Kung Fu". You can decide the director's remuneration. If you have any conditions, you can also mention them."

Xiao Xing said this.

The hearts of the three top entertainment figures present were shocked.

Whoa!This breath is too big!

They had been in the entertainment industry for so long, and this was the first time they saw a boss who dared to say such things to a top director.

Brother Cheng subconsciously glanced at Li Lianjie, his eyes seemed to ask: Is this young boss reliable?

Li Lianjie smiled bitterly, he didn't know how to respond.

He and Tian Xing, the coal boss, are only in contact for the second time, and he has limited knowledge of the other party's situation.

Seeing that he couldn't find the answer from Li Lianjie, Brother Cheng had no choice but to turn his attention to Xiao Xing and Zhang Yimou again, and was ready to see what kind of astonishing scene would be next.

But Zhang Yimou was stunned for a few seconds after hearing Xiao Xing's bold words, and when he recovered, he looked at Xiao Xing in the wrong way.

to be frank.

It's been a long, long time since he had aliased this kind of experience of being thrown with money.

He couldn't figure out where the self-confidence of the Tianxing coal boss in front of him came from. He really thought that everything could be settled with money?Or, do you really regard Zhang Yimou as one of those little directors who are still willing to do anything for money?

After all, they are young people, and they cannot escape their youthful vigor.

Zhang Yimou stared at Xiao Xing's young and handsome face, and then said meaningfully: "Mr. Xiao, film is an art."

Xiao Xing smiled sincerely, "Director Zhang is right, movies are indeed an art, but people make movies, and people have to eat."

Zhang Yimou choked for a moment, pondered for a while, and said: "Mr. Xiao's words are reasonable, but it doesn't make much difference if you eat more or less."

Xiao Xing's smile didn't change, he just pointed at the state banquet in front of him, "You can eat food anywhere, but you can eat such high-quality food everywhere, people have endless desires, and there is no problem of food and clothing." , will inevitably think about the pursuit of the quality of life.”

Zhang Yimou was amused, it was the first time he had met such an interesting young man, who clearly wanted to throw money at others and yet speak so freshly and refinedly.

After laughing a few times, Zhang Yimou saw Xiao Xing approaching every step of the way, thought about it, and said jokingly: "Since Mr. Xiao said so, then I will say the number?"

As he said that, Zhang Yimou looked at Brother Cheng and Li Lianjie, and added: "Of course, I'll just say it casually, if Mr. Xiao thinks it's too much, it's all a joke, okay?"

Xiao Xing smiled, signaling to speak boldly.

Seeing this, Zhang Yimou had no choice but to show a palm with a smile.

Xiao Xing glanced at Li Lianjie next to him and Brother Cheng opposite him with some doubts.

He didn't understand a little bit,

How much does this slap represent?

5000?

Li Lianjie and Brother Cheng looked at each other with shock in their eyes, but they were surprisingly silent.

Seeing that Xiao Xing failed to understand what he meant, Zhang Yimou hurriedly passed the steps and said, "Mr. Xiao, otherwise I think it's better to forget it. In fact, to tell you the truth, my lack of energy is only one reason, the most important thing." , I also happen to have a movie to shoot recently, so..."

Xiao Xing frowned, "Director Zhang, just say it straight, you're so neat."

Xiao Xing learned to slap his palms.

"I really don't understand."

Seeing that Xiao Xing still insisted on throwing money at himself, Zhang Yimou said helplessly, "Okay, since Mr. Xiao insists, then I will make it clear, 5000 million, plus five points of box office share."

One listen to this offer.

Brother Cheng and Li Lianjie took a deep breath.

5000 million!

5 points of box office share!

At present, there has never been such an outrageous director's remuneration in the entire history of Dragon Entertainment. The final box office share is taken, but this 5000 million is too outrageous.

You know, at that time, there were not many films in Dragon Entertainment that had an investment of 5000 million yuan, and the remuneration of top directors was usually only 2 million yuan, and this price was almost the ceiling.

Zhang Yimou reported the 5000 million yuan.

It was obvious to tell everyone that he really didn't want to accept this film.

Seeing that Zhang Yimou's attitude is so clear.

Brother Cheng and Li Lianjie almost gave up the idea of ​​cooperating with each other.

Will Xiao Xing agree?

Anyway, they don't think so.

It's not that they thought Xiao Xing couldn't afford the money, they paid out all 4 million, and then paid another 5000 million, they believed that for Tian Xing, a rich and powerful coal boss, the high probability was nothing.

but.

The top director of Dragon Entertainment is not the only one in front of him.

There is no need for Tianxing Entertainment to pay such a high price for hiring a director.

Quiet.

silent.

Zhang Yimou looked at Xiao Xing quietly, Brother Cheng, and Li Lianjie also looked at Xiao Xing quietly.

Everyone was waiting for Xiao Xing's response.

Let's see if the most tyrannical coal boss in the history of the entertainment industry will accept such an exaggerated price.

As for Xiao Xing, after hearing Zhang Yimou's quotation, the smile on his face remained the same, but he was slightly speechless in his heart.

A director dares to ask for 5000 million.
