The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Zhang Yimou was very busy during this time. First, he was busy starting a new film and a lot of work needed to be done. Second, he had a headache of funding. Although Zhang Weiping, who has always had a good cooperative relationship with him, has promised him, even if no new investors can be found, the funds for film production will not be small, but he is always worried.

　　After all, despite the numerous awards in the past few years, they are also very repulsive to the commercial filming. But what had to face the reality was that he was not a hairy guy in his twenties who had just stepped into the society, and he could not rely on blood and impulse to do things.

　　Zhang Weiping's money was not caused by the strong wind. It is obviously unrealistic for him to always lose money like this. The movie "Hero" has a great chance in his opinion to become a well-known and well-received movie, helping his partner return to a wave of blood.

　　Although I am very optimistic about this movie in my heart, it is said that doing business is 100% sure to make money. So if more partners can come in to share the risk, he will feel much less pressure. After all, it's okay if you earn, if you lose it, it's really a huge pit.

　　 So not only is his partner looking for investors, he is also using his circles and connections to find investors. But if it is a filming, many people give him face, for example, many of the big names in Hong Kong in this movie, Jet Li, who has a certain box office appeal in the world, all have the resources to reduce the film pay to film this film.

　　Kola Investment...This is really not what he is good at. And although many actors have money in their hands, others are willing to pay for the film by themselves, and you still need to be an investor, which is a bit too much.

　　 And let the actor as an investor also has a disadvantage, if the actor only does his own job but not too involved. But if the actor conflicts with his opinion, he is the director, but the actor is one of the investors, and it will be unclear when it comes to arguing.

　　 Therefore, he is more inclined to let the company behind the actor invest, so that the actor pays him a face since the fall of the film. This is a human relationship, and he will definitely have to pay back in the future.

　　 And the company behind the actor invested in his new play. This is business, and business can naturally sign contracts in black and white in accordance with the rules of the business field. This is much simpler.

　　 But it is a pity that he has undoubtedly achieved only half of this goal, so these days he is looking for various ways to achieve the other half.

　　 "The director is almost here, you can go down." Just when he smoked a lot of smoke and the whole room was filled with smoke, the assistant knocked on the door to come in and notify.

　　 "I know, this is over." Zhang Yimou responded.

　　 But did not go out for the first time, but first opened the window in the room to disperse the smell, and then changed clothes. It's impolite to go to a meeting with the smell of smoke all over. At this time, it's definitely too late to take a bath. Change your clothes and rinse your face to make your face look less depressed than before.

　　The car that came downstairs to pick up the actors also arrived at the door of the hotel. Although the new drama is ready to start, it has not yet been started. Today is the day when the cast members meet.

　　 After determining the role, the script has been given to these actors. When he was preparing for the filming, the actor also thought about the script. Getting together today is mainly to get acquainted with the actors, after all, after a long period of time, you need to stay together not too much.

So he organized the show today, gathered these big names to eat, drink and drink, and then listen to their opinions and views on the role. If there is no problem, choose a suitable day in the near future and you can hold a startup ceremony. .

　　 The movie "Heroes" has four main stars, Jet Li is the protagonist, then Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu and the present girl Zhang Ziyi. Chen Daoming played a great role in the Mainland as King Qin, but this is a supporting role, and then there is a lot of drama. Now the fame is not very big, but it will be a fire in the future.

　　 This cast is not weak. Especially, Jet Li, Liang Chaowei and Maggie Cheung are very famous throughout Asia. Jet Li also has a box office appeal in Hollywood, and Maggie Cheung is also famous abroad.

　　 Jet Li's box office appeal in Hollywood came from the fact that, in recent years, Heiner has been making joint ventures with Hollywood to shoot movies, and he is also importing movies with oriental characteristics into Hollywood.

　　 For example, there was a movie just released in Hollywood last month. At present, the two most famous actors in Hollywood in China, one is Jackie Chan and the other is Jet Li.

　　Zhang Manyu's reputation abroad is not accumulated by his works, but by advertising. As one of Haina's contracted entertainers, he mainly imported oriental elements into Hollywood.

　　 Although Maggie Cheung has never been able to find a movie character that is suitable for her, she has also shot many well-known advertisements for many big-name stars or stars, which is regarded as one of the most famous female stars in Hollywood.

　　The remaining few people, Liang Chaowei, have strong box office appeals in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Asia. Chen Daoming is the first male artist in the mainland. Even Donnie Yen, who has not been in flames, has won many awards and starred in the movie.

　　 Therefore, these actors must have acting skills, box office appealing actors with box office appeal, and then match their own scripts. Zhang Yimou felt that even if the movie couldn't make a big profit, at least it would be fine to protect the capital, and then go abroad to win a few awards.

　　 Let go of the troubled thoughts in his heart, Zhang Yimou tried to make a smile on his face, and then greeted the arriving actors one by one into the box. Especially thank you very much for Jet Li.

　　 Thanks to Jet Li not because he was the biggest player or because the protagonist of this drama has relegated the most remuneration, but during this time Jet Li made the movie "Universal Wanted" in the United States.

　　When he found the other party, Jet Li promised to come down and paid for himself. He held an actor party here and the other party worked hard to fly back from the United States, which is not ordinary support for him.

　　 "If I don't say much, I would like to salute you first, and thank you for your love for Zhang and the support of this drama." After entering the box, they all sat down. When the dish came up, Zhang Yimou first raised his glass.

　　Whether he is an actor or a director in these years, it can be said that it is smooth and smooth, and there is nothing to say. The international awards can be said to be getting soft.

　　 But he always had a knot, that is, his movies are always applauded or not, although not every film is at a loss, but at least not much money.

　　 So this time the planning hero invited so many actors to come over again, and his heart was full of thoughts for a fight. After all, there are only a few domestic directors who are famous. Others are selling at the box office, but they are famous. The most important thing is that the movie is well received, but it is really suffocating without the box office.

　　 "Director is polite, it is our pleasure to be able to make your movie." Several actors quickly stood up and picked up a glass of wine.

　　Directors and actors can be said to support each other, especially Zhang Yimou, a big director who can win awards internationally, is very popular with actors.

　　 After all, when money has reached a certain point, its reputation is very important. No one likes to be scolded all the time. It is the dream of all actors to be able to win several international awards, and Zhang Yimou is undoubtedly the one who can help them realize their dreams.

　　 "Be seated, don't be polite. After a while, you have to trouble you not to get such a point." Zhang Yimou pressed his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

　　 "The director said no life, but you are so polite, isn't this a purpose to live with us?" Zhang Manyu said with a smile.

　　Because she checked into Haina earlier, her Mandarin was quite good. Or since the rise of Haina, many Hong Kong and Taiwan actors have been trying to practice their Mandarin.

　　 "Oh, my fault, my fault is mainly a little too excited to see you big names." Zhang Yimou sat down with a smile and greeted everyone to eat food.

　　 All sat down to find a topic and everyone started chatting together. At this time, I saw the actor's character. Chen Daoming, who is a noble temperament, didn't talk much, but he could talk about ideas every time.

　　 Donnie Yen looks a little restrained, and Liang Chaowei is really a bit introverted, not at all the kind of handsome and humorous when playing the role in the movie.

　　Zhang Ziyi is a young lady of this generation. He naturally wants to help Zhang Yimou to greet guests, so he is very active. Jet Li is very relaxed. After all, coming to Yanjing is equivalent to returning to his hometown.

Zhang Manyu’s performance surprised some people who knew him, because she was very open, and she did not feel like a Hong Kong star in some things in the mainland, such as several family treasures. A wide range of mainland stars.

　　 This is undoubtedly inseparable from her signing Haina, although she has not made many movies in recent years, and her main energy is focused on advertising in the United States.

　　 But every year she will spend a month or two to travel to the mainland~www.readwn.com~ Especially in Yanjing, why should I stay for a month or so. To say that these big names of Heiner Company, who went to the company most often, that many jade is definitely on the list. So sitting on the wine table, she was as relaxed as Li Yanjie, a Yanjing man, as if she had returned home.

　　 After three wines and five flavors, even Liang Chaowei, who was somewhat introverted, talked more. Several people also talked about the environment of domestic movies and the development trend of international movies from film shooting.

　　 "Now everyone wants to rush into Hollywood, and I also want to rush into Hollywood. This is not only a problem at the box office, but also a problem of influence in the world's film industry.

　　 But even if they want to rush into Hollywood, Hollywood is much stronger than the current mainland movie circle. I still have to say something to the mainland movie industry.

　　Now that we have such shortcomings, the environment is immature and the policies are not relaxed enough. But we are developing very fast. One day I don’t say that the China film industry must be better than Hollywood, but there are definitely a large number of Hollywood movies that want to enter the country for release. The benefit is the most direct promotion. "Zhang Yimou's face has begun to blush.

　　 The movies that were always applauded before made him obviously have a deep reflection during this time, although he could not change the kind of literature and art in his bones and what he wanted to shoot.

　　 But this does not mean that he is stubbornly refusing to understand how to make a movie profitable, and the pressure of such a big production of the movie "Hero" forced him to understand how to make a movie profitable.
