Chapter 482(2/2)
While several people were talking, a window in the dormitory building 20 meters away opened, and Liu Zi stretched out his head and waved loudly.
"Hey, Liu Zi, you've only graduated from Nortel a few days ago, and now you're joining Little Nortel?" Zhang Yimou joked.
"I was taken in by Master Yu Fei, and I followed her to make a living." Liu Zi said with a smile.
"Feige doesn't have its own agency yet, right? There are so many people in Nortel, why don't you start one?" Cheng Kaige asked.
Zhang Yimou also said: "Feige has invested in a lot of dramas in the past two years, both in mainland China and in Xiangcheng. The company has the best resources in the country and can indeed set up a brokerage company."
Zhou Qing shook his head and said: "It is precisely because Nortel has a large number of people and there are a large number of graduates every year with varying qualities. You sign them all? So why not just stop it and focus on investment, production and distribution."
"Yes." Zhang Yimou and others nodded.
"Director Guo, Director Zhang, Director Cheng, Mr. Zhou, Teacher Chen Baoguo, please come in quickly."
At this time, Yu Feihong came out of the room to greet her. Except for Chen Baoguo, they were all her seniors from Nortel, and their attitude was very enthusiastic.
"Okay, okay..."
Guo Baochang and others also responded politely.
"Where are Dabao's grandparents? Tie Jun is not at home either?" Zhou Qing asked.
"I just went back to my hometown this morning. If you and Director Guo can't come, I have to go back too." Yu Feihong explained with a smile.
"Look, it's our fault for coming." Guo Baochang, who was worried about what happened next, also made a joke.
"How dare you?" Yu Feihong laughed.
After entering the door, Zhou Qing just sat down and complained: "Boss Yu, you haven't seen anyone every day. You just hide at home. You can't go to the company for several months. Don't you want it?"
While Yu Feihong poured tea for Guo Baochang and others, he said with a smile: "I can rest assured that you are here in the company."
"I can't make the decision on this matter today. I can't handle the investment of at least more than 10 million. You have to make your own decision."
Zhou Qing said something, pointed at Guo Baojing and said: "You also know the matter. Brother Bao is now carrying a debt of three million for the 'big house'. Xiao Chen can't film, and his life is stressful. Recently, he even sold his house
Now, this matter needs to be resolved, right? Boss Yu, Mr. Bao wants our company to take over, please say something."
Guo Baochang sighed, his face full of helplessness.
This play of his has been really hard work. He started writing the script when he was a teenager, and the manuscript was destroyed three times. He has been working on it for decades, and to this day, he has not yet made a breakthrough.
The same goes for Chen Baoguo, who received a salary of 90,000 yuan. This delay lasted almost three years. He couldn't bear to part with this big drama and could not film other movies. He was recently forced to sell his house to make ends meet, which was very painful.
"The gate of the mansion?" Yu Feihong responded.
As an insider, especially from Nortel, she certainly knows about this drama, and she knows it very clearly.
The show is a good show. When Feige Film and Television was established in the summer of 1995, the show was already being filmed. After three episodes, it was stopped. The investors took away the copyright, then withdrew their investment and left, leaving Guo Baochang and the entire family behind.
The group became cold and even cheated Guo Baochang of three million.
It turned out that the investors were dissatisfied with Guo Baochang and wanted to change the director and start a new crew to film Mansion Gate. They also wanted to find Zhang Yimou as the director. The male lead was still Chen Baoguo.
Unfortunately, neither Zhang Yimou nor Chen Baoguo agreed, so the investors' plan was shelved. More than two years have passed and filming has not resumed.
Because the copyright of this drama was bought out by the original investor, we had to find new investors and buy the copyright back at a high price.
In the past two years, Guo Baochang has also been looking for dozens of investors and drinking countless drinks with them, hoping to find someone to take over. Unfortunately, he failed. In his words, those people were just dirty and dirty.
It was to fool him.
Originally from Nortel, her Feige Film and Television has had strong capital and extensive connections since its establishment. She has connections in Xiangcheng and Hollywood. Li Lianjie and Cheng Long are both small shareholders. Guo Baochang should be the first.
I looked for her, but she wasn't there.
Guo Baochang has his concerns, because the male protagonist of this drama is Chen Baoguo, but Chen Baoguo is not from Nortel, but the male protagonists of several dramas produced by Feige Film and Television are from Nortel. He is worried that after Yu Feihong takes over
The male protagonist will be changed, so that’s why I haven’t approached Feige Film and Television. This time, I really had no choice and couldn’t afford to delay, so I approached Feige Film and Television after the persuasion of Zhang Yimou and others.
"Feihong, you have to think of a way to play this play with Master Bao. I also have a role in it, and I finally got it." Zhang Yimou said with a smile.
"Feihong, we are all members of the Nortel family. This is the drama of Mr. Bao's life. You are now the most influential person in our Nortel. A large group of people follow you to eat and drink. You have to help with this matter. I owe you
You are a favor." Cheng Kaige also said.
"Director Cheng, how dare I say anything about influence in front of you?"
Yu Feihong quickly said modestly, and then considered: "Director Guo, you are from Nortel, and I am also from Nortel. There is no problem for Feige to take over this drama. As for the copyright, I can also buy it back.
no problem."
"Feihong, I also know that you will agree. Whatever conditions you want, I will agree to anything except changing the male lead." Guo Baochang said.
Yu Feihong glanced at Chen Baoguo. She really wanted to change the male lead. There were many suitable actors from Nortel, including Wang Zhiwen, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Jiayi, etc. There were a lot of good actors. Who wouldn't want to act in such a big drama?
However, since she runs a film and television company, she will not be so narrow-minded and only use people from Nortel, so if Guo Baochang insists, she will not insist on changing the male lead.
Chen Baoguo smiled awkwardly, but couldn't say anything.
He wanted to film this drama so much that he didn't give up even after more than two years, and he didn't give up even after selling his house, so he came here today to try his luck and see if he could keep his position as the male lead.
He knew that Feige Film and Television would definitely take over the film. Feige Film and Television was now Nortel's flagship presence in the film and television industry, so he would take over the film immediately.
If Fei Ge accepted the role of Master Bao, his reputation in Nortel would be even higher in the future. If he didn't accept the role, he would have chilled the hearts of some seniors at Nortel, including Director Zhang and others.
"well!"
Seeing Yu Feihong like this, he probably wanted to change the male lead, and Guo Baochang couldn't help but sigh.
"Poof!"
When Yu Feihong saw Guo Baochang like this, he probably thought she wanted to change the male lead, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Feihong, tell me something." Zhang Yimou and Cheng Kaige said quickly.
"Okay." Yu Feihong nodded.
Several people were startled, and Guo Baojing was also startled, and quickly asked: "Aren't you going to change the male lead?"
Yu Feihong shook his head and said: "I won't change."
"Don't you want to change that expression you just had?" Zhang Yimou asked.
"Director Zhang, are my acting skills okay?" Yu Feihong said with a smile.
"..."
Zhang Yimou was stunned. We were so anxious that our mouths were blistered. Why are you just putting on a show here?
"Ha ha……"
Cheng Kaige heard it funny and couldn't help laughing.
"It's done!"
Guo Baochang patted his thigh excitedly and said to Chen Baoguo: "Baoguo, it's done."
"It's done..." Chen Baoguo also nodded excitedly.
"Mr. Zhou, please resolve the copyright issue, and then contact CCTV to see if we can jointly produce it and broadcast it on CCTV in the future. However, we have to keep the control in our hands. The crew will be formed by us, and we can listen to some opinions as appropriate.
CCTV’s opinion." Yu Feihong said.
"Okay, once you decide, it will be easier for me to handle." Zhou Qing nodded.
Guo Baochang is even more happy. If this drama can be produced jointly with CCTV, it will be more secure.
After discussing the matter of a large house, Zhang Yimou talked about his movie plan, and Feihong Film and Television is also his current partner.
Last year, he was preparing to shoot the movie "If You Have Something to Say", but unfortunately after breaking up with Gong Li, he was affected by the foreign film market and could not get funds. Because they were both from Nortel, he found Feige Film and Television.
Yu Feihong was also generous, spending 30 million yuan, including 4 million in distribution and promotion expenses. After the film was released in May this year, it sold 47 million yuan, and Fei Ge lost more than 6 million yuan.
"Feihong, this time 'Not One Less' is a small-budget literary film, and the investment is not that big." Zhang Yimou said a little embarrassed.
Yu Feihong smiled and said: "It's okay, just go ahead and make them. Maybe these two movies will win awards and they will also be classic works of our Feige Film and Television."
In the future, after I have made literary and artistic films, I will make a few more commercial films and sell them abroad. Won’t I make money? It’s just right to use commercial films to support literary and artistic films.”
"Then it's settled."
Zhang Yimo got what he wanted. He has two requirements for making a movie. He has the final say on the crew and the funding. Fei Ge Film and Television can do it. In addition, Fei Ge is indeed very powerful. I am very satisfied with the cooperation with Fei Ge.
Yu Feihong said with a smile: "Last time Li Lianjie's 'Lion of the West' was released in Hollywood, the box office was average, but it sold well in the video market. The revenue in the United States alone was enough for the film to recoup its costs.
Director Zhang, if you make commercial films in the future, why not make a martial arts film first? There is a market for this type of film in Hollywood. With the connections at K Martial Arts School, as long as the film is good, you can always find channels there.
"
"Martial arts movie?"
Director Zhang nodded thoughtfully. This is one of the reasons why he has been willing to cooperate with Feige Film and Television since last year. Because of the existence of K-Martial Arts, Feige is the only domestic film distributor with influence in Hollywood.
Production company.
"Martial arts movie?"
Next to me, Cheng Kaige had the same idea.
After chatting for a while, they saw off Zhou Qing and others. Yu Feihong also quickly drove away from home and rushed to Cangzhou.
Chapter completed!
