As Hairun's former brother, Xu Rong was basically familiar with the external relationships and cooperative units that Hairun often used when filming. Any abnormal actions on Du Qifeng's side could not be hidden from his eyes.

After seeing off Meng Xianlong, who came to report the news in the name of caring, Xu Rong turned around and said to Li Yujie, Sun Honglei and Gao Yunxiang who were standing aside: "Let's go to the front desk downstairs and ask. I remember they have a conference room."

Just now, he and Wang Yaqin read the script in the room, but sitting on the bed was too restrictive, and the space in the room was too small, so they couldn't move horizontally or vertically.

Just as he was about to go out, he happened to meet Sun Honglei and others who came to see him.

Seeing the tall and thin Meng Xianlong walking away, Gao Yunxiang immediately said: "Brother Xu, Brother Hong Lei, they are too bullying, let alone those second-tier people, even the four kings came, they didn't let you live in the standard. Room, why do they live in a suite?!"

Xu Rong heard him whirring in the corridor and said with a smile: "You are not afraid of people hearing it. Let me tell you, if you don't change your temper, you will get into trouble sooner or later."

He said, and walked with a few people towards the elevator entrance: "By the way, what are you going to do?"

"Looking for something to eat." Li Yujie had adjusted her mentality and no longer regarded Xu Rong as a leftover in the film and television industry a few years ago. "The lunch box is too oily, and we don't dare to eat it."

"Why, are you worried about getting fat?"

Li Yujie smiled and said: "You dare to say this when you are young. Wait until you get married in two years and try it when you are older. If you don't control it for three days, your weight will go up immediately."

At the elevator entrance, Xu Rong saw Gao Yunxiang running over and pressing the elevator button. He smiled at him and said: "I feel that whether you are fat or not depends not on eating too much, but on whether you consume enough. As long as the energy consumed is basically equal to If the energy intake is the same, you will generally not gain weight. There are always people who will gain weight by drinking water all day long. In fact, one is competing with the other when eating. At the end of the day, even taking one more step can cost half your life, and you can lose weight. Come on, it’s weird. You can get fat just by drinking cold water. Why are so many scientists bothering to study hybrid rice?!"

"Hahaha."

"Besides, it's not difficult to be fat or thin." Xu Rong looked at Li Yujie, "Let's put it this way, Brother Li, I asked you to play this role, and the only requirement is to lose twenty kilograms in a month. You Can it be done?"

Li Yujie laughed and said, "I can give it a try."

"Hahaha."

After entering the elevator, Li Yujie brought the topic back and asked: "What do you think about the room thing that Teacher Meng mentioned just now?"

The reason why they changed the subject just now was because they didn't want to talk about this in the corridor. Walls have ears, and no one could tell whether their casual remarks would reach other people's ears.

Xu Rong smiled and said: "How can I see it? Of course I have to look at it with my own eyes. When I came here yesterday, I originally thought that the crew gave me a standard room to save money."

Since "Yangcheng Hidden Whistle" became popular, unless he went to a place with particularly difficult conditions, the crew would usually book him a suite in a nearby three-star or above hotel, but most of the time he refused.

He doesn't have high requirements for where he lives. An ordinary hotel suite can meet his needs. It has hot water, a bathtub for bathing, and space for him to move around during rehearsals. That's enough.

But today, this basic treatment has not been met.

Seeing that Xu Rong didn't take it seriously, Gao Yunxiang said gloomily: "Then let's do this? They are just bullying people. Brother Xu, let me tell you something that you are not happy to hear. You swallowed this tone. They thought we were He's easy to bully, and he will definitely do more extreme things than this time next time."

Xu Rong felt that the matter was quite nonsense, because in his opinion, it was really just a trivial matter. In the final analysis, it was just a matter of the size of the room. However, Gao Yunxiang and Li Mingjie were so dissatisfied that they were beaten. Like a sudden.

Arriving at the lobby on the first floor, Wang Yaqin ran to the front desk in small steps. After a while, a girl about the same height as her came to a few people and said: "Mr. Xu, Teacher Sun, Teacher Li, hello, I am Qin, the lobby manager." Qin, how many people are attending our meeting?"

Xu Rong thought for a while and said, "Is there one that is roughly the size of two rooms?"

Qin Qin's eyes kept wandering on Xu Rong's face and said: "No, but there are slightly older ones. Can I take you to see them?"

"OK."

"jingle."

"ah."

When Qin Qin entered the elevator door, the heel of her high-heeled shoes seemed to be hung up. She was about to throw herself into Xu Rong's arms, but Xu Rong quickly opened her hands at the same time and held her firmly down. her shoulders.

Qin Qin's arms, which were obviously about to hug Xu Rong's waist, were awkwardly stuck in the air. She looked at Xu Rong's eyes and took them back in embarrassment, saying, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention just now and tripped." "

Xu Rong waited until she stood firm, then smiled and let go of her hand, saying: "It's okay."

Just now, he clearly felt that Qin Qin clearly made a second effort after he was held down by him when he pounced forward for the first time, but in the face of absolute power, it was nothing more than a mantis' arm acting as a cart.

After following Qin Qin up to the second floor, Xu Rong opened the door, took a look at the "slightly larger" conference room she described, and asked: "Is this a little too big?"

Visually, the area is at least six times the size of the room.

Qin Qin smiled and said, "This is our smallest conference room."

"Can you lend it to us for free?"

The elegance on Qin Qin's face immediately solidified. In her perception, Xu Rong had always been perfect, if she hadn't been holding her down just now.

But she didn't expect that he would make such a weird request, use the conference room for free?

"I'm afraid I can't."

Xu Rong turned to look at Sun Honglei and the others. It was a bit crowded for four people to occupy a suite, so he pointed to the conference room and asked, "How much does it cost per day?"

"Twenty thousand a day."

"We only use it at night every day, or only about four hours a day?"

"Then, it will cost six thousand."

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Okay, you can ask someone to collect all the tables and chairs here."

"good."

Seeing Xu Rong agreeing happily, Li Yujie looked at him in surprise and asked, "Isn't it necessary? Six thousand yuan for four hours is such a waste."

Xu Rong pulled Wang Yaqin, who was standing at the door, aside to let the hotel staff who were moving things in and out, and said, "It's still necessary."

"Very, necessary?"

Xu Rong nodded his head and said: "If rehearsal can make me perform 10% better than without rehearsal, then it will be a profit. In terms of money, the rate of return is at least a thousand times that of 6,000. It is better than taking this money to Drinking is much stronger."

Hearing his last words, the three of them looked embarrassed because they were planning to call Xu Rong to go out to play.

Gao Yunxiang pointed dryly upstairs and asked, "Then, shall I go up and get the script?"

"I'll go up there too."

While Xu Rong held his arms and waited for the conference room to be cleared, he turned to look at Sun Honglei and asked: "Brother Honglei, do you cooperate a lot with Hong Kong and Taiwan personnel?"

"good."

"How do you feel?"

"Can't get anywhere."

Xu Rong listened to Sun Honglei's salty tone and completely understood that the emotions Gao Yunxiang and Li Mingjie had just expressed were not about the issue of suites or not, but the mainland actors' collective prejudice against Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.

Similar words were said to him by more than one of his colleagues from the Mainland. He said that he could not get along with people from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Literally, it was a language barrier. But if we dig deeper, it was not just a matter of language communication.

Before 2000, due to certain thoughts, in the subconscious mind of the audience, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors were born to be more valuable than mainland actors, with stronger professional capabilities and more dedication, so they should make more money and give more. support.

This has led to the fact that in co-productions, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors have higher food, housing and other treatment than those in the Mainland. What is most convincing to the audience is that Hong Kong film and television industry personnel have never minded Criticize mainland colleagues in public.

Secondly, there is a more realistic issue of life and death. After Hong Kong and Taiwan practitioners collectively move north, Hong Kong and Taiwan directors are more willing to use actors who have worked with them many times in the past. This phenomenon has seriously compressed the living space of mainland actors. Currently, the box office ranks among the top In 10 movies, there are very few mainland actors playing leading roles.

For actors, it is just a matter of making less money, but for the directing industry, the blow is fatal, because capital would rather invest in a bad film director with many successful experiences than spend an extra penny on Nortel. The newcomers who have just left school also kill the possibility of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige reappearing.

However, after all, Hong Kong and Taiwan directors did not grow up on the soil of mainland culture. Their works themselves have regional cultural attributes. For example, if Du Qifeng scratches his head and scratches his bald head, he will definitely not be able to produce authentic films if he has not experienced it. The story comes.

The problems we are encountering today can be regarded as the crux of the problems left over from history in the past few decades, which means that the world has been suffering for a long time.

What Xu Rong was considering was whether to turn a blind eye and pretend that this incident didn't happen, or whether to start a fight within the crew.

Undoubtedly, no matter what choice he made, it would not be suitable for him. If this did not happen, Gao Yunxiang's attitude would have said everything.

And if the internal struggle starts here, the scene may have problems, because once the conflict intensifies, in the end, it will inevitably turn into a confrontation between him and Du Qifeng. Once it gets out of hand, although because of the contract, it cannot be As for whether this drama can be filmed, the quality cannot be guaranteed.

Moreover, Xu Rong is also aware of a more serious problem, the scarcity of mainland director talents.

The history of domestic films is too short. To some extent, every film made in the past can be said to be a customized film. People like Zhang Yimou and others have gained a lot of experience with the help of Xiying.

At this time, he somewhat understood what Han Sanping was thinking. The influx of capital would indeed bring about problems of one kind or another, but it would also create more opportunities for mainland film and television people.

Otherwise, with fixed resources, they will only be divided up by the swarming Hong Kong and Taiwan directors, and the domestic film market will eventually be reduced to Hong Kong and Taiwan films blindly pursuing profits.

But how to solve the problem?

He first thought of the two teachers in his life, Hua Ming and Zhao Junkai.

The two people have completely different ways of solving problems, but at least at their level, both of them are good at fighting.

Faced with this situation, what will they do?

Slowly, Xu Rong came up with two ideas, but before that, he had to call Han Sanping.

After the rehearsal, Xu Rong returned to the room and immediately dialed the phone to Han Sanping. After chatting for a few words, he asked: "Boss Han, I have something to ask you. The boss is currently talking about the film and television production in Hong Kong, Taipei and Taipei."

People’s policies, what are the specific situations?”

Han Sanping didn't understand what he meant immediately and said, "Isn't it written in black and white on the paper?"

"Then I won't hide it anymore. If I mess with them, how far will I be allowed to go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Sanping said immediately: "Brother, your idea is quite dangerous. I have to give you a shout-out. You haven't reached that position yet, but you must at least remember that people from Hong Kong and Taiwan, mainlanders,

Regardless of people, as long as you consider yourself Chinese, you are a Chinese film and television worker. You can target individual people, but you must not target the entire group to create opposition. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Rong was stunned for a while, then suddenly said: "That's what Boss Han reminded me."

Han Sanping listened to his voice with a bit of confusion and explained: "You may not understand the original intention of the policy, but as public figures, your behavior can easily be imitated and used as a role model. Let's put it this way, if you are an ordinary person,

When your idol firmly believes that he is Chinese, and when all the idols you like think so, if you think otherwise, it will only prove that you are wrong."

"It is true that the Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television circles collectively went north to the mainland to make money, and the money they made was many times or even dozens of times more than that of mainland actors. But from another perspective, it actually promoted the development of the mainland's film and television industry. That is to say

Well, have you ever heard of any co-production film crew in which mainland actors play big names?"
