"The Best Director Award! Although it is the Best Director Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival, I also feel that I am the proud son of heaven. In the future, when making movies or anything, investors will have to line up to find me. But I will
I found that I, the best director, was a piece of shit. No one invested in me at all. I had no choice but to start making money by shooting commercials. After working hard on commercials and making money, I started investing in filming myself.
The movie "Incense". Hey, guess what? I won another award! That's right, my movie won another award, and it's not a small award like the Beijing University Student Film Festival, but it's still useless and doesn't make any money at all.
Ah, I lost all the money I invested."
Ning Hao's face looked bitter.
"And still no one invests in me, you know? I obviously won an award! Gold medal at Tokyo Filmex International Film Festival, Hong Kong International Film Festival Asian DV Competition Unit "Asia Digital Competition". But still no one invests in me. You
Do you know how I felt at that time?"
"But I didn't give in. I made my own money again. After three years of hard work, I saved enough money and made the movie "Green Lawn" which was shortlisted for the Asian Newcomer Award and the Most Popular Film Award at the 8th Magic City International Film Festival.
.But no one will invest in me.”
"I finally figured it out. If you make literary and artistic films, you won't get anywhere. If you don't make money, other investors won't invest at all. So I made up my mind to change my career. I won't make literary and artistic films. I want to make commercial films. I want to be high-level.
At the box office, the movies I made have made money. I’m wondering if those investors will still refuse to invest in me. It happened to be Andy Lau’s new Asian director project, so I directly submitted the script of "Crazy Stone"
, luckily I was spotted, so I was able to make the movie right away."
"However, Andy Lau originally wanted to invest six million. Six million is definitely the most money I have ever received. Unfortunately, half of it was deducted later and only three million was given. You didn't even know it.
, what did I say about the three million, I wanted to break a dollar in half. From that moment on, I vowed that I would never worry about money!"
Ning Hao gritted his teeth and said with a somewhat ferocious expression.
Listening to Ning Hao's words, Zhang Yuxuan also knew that he had a difficult time ahead.
"But haven't you already filmed "Crazy Stone"? Maybe this movie will make money. You don't have to rush to join Shiba Culture Media." Although Zhang Yuxuan knew that he shouldn't say it in his own position.
But I still couldn't help but say this.
"Hey, it's mainly because I don't know what I'm doing. Although I think the movie I've made is pretty good and will probably make money, I don't have much confidence. After all, this is my first commercial film. What if?
I didn’t make any money. If I want to make movies in the future, I have to worry about money. You just recommended me to Sister Hua, and Sister Hua promised me that I would join the company, and Sister Hua would lend me 100,000 yuan and let me hold our
One percent of the company's shares, which is considered as a direct gift from me. Then she also promised that no matter whether the movie "Crazy Stone" loses money or makes a profit, she will give me 5 million to make the next movie.
.And there is one movie every year, and the investment for each movie is no less than five million. If I don’t sign this condition, wouldn’t I be a fool?”
Ning Hao smiled, with a bit of pride on his face. He also felt that the conditions given to him by Wang Jinghua were very generous.
Seeing the pride on Ning Hao's face, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't say anything.
After all, this condition seemed to be a good one before Ning Hao could prove himself.
In other words, if you are a director with slightly less ability, this can be considered a very good condition.
But, this is Ning Hao, this is Ning Hao! A great director in the future! Ning Hao, who can become a top domestic director in the future, can do it with just one movie a year and an investment of five million?
Forget it, Ning Hao himself is so happy, what can Yuxuan say?
Regardless of whether this condition is considered a cheat in the future, at least Ning Hao still has to thank us now.
Snap——
Ning Hao patted Yuxuan Zhang's shoulder hard: "Yuxuan, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the chance to sign such a good contract. You are indeed my good brother."
"You're welcome, I think you have the ability." Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile.
"Hey, whether you have the ability or not, that's it. Anyway, I'm grateful to you from the bottom of my heart." Ning Hao looked sincere.
"Yuxuan is really a very good and capable person. The reason why I was signed by Sister Hua was because of Yuxuan's introduction." Huang Bo came over at this time and said this.
"Let me tell you, Huang Bo looks like this. Why did Sister Hua still sign you? It turns out it's because of Yuxuan!" Ning Hao laughed.
"Hey, look at what you said, what's wrong with me looking like this? Is there something wrong with me looking like this? Look over there, Bao E is not as good as me." Huang Bo couldn't help but say.
"Nonsense, I'm obviously better-looking than you." Wang Baoru happened to be coming to Zhang Yuxuan's side. Hearing Huang Bo's words, he immediately retorted.
Ning Hao looked at Huang Bo, then at Wang Bao, and was immediately happy. Do these two lying dragons and phoenixes still need to earn money?
"By the way, Ning Hao, I'm working on a script right now, and I plan to make it into a movie after it's finished, but the director hasn't decided who to look for yet. Are you interested?" Zhang Yuxuan suddenly thought of the "Love Lost III" he was working on recently.
"Thirteen Days" script, I couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? Are you working on a script? Let me direct it?" Ning Hao became more energetic.
Huang Bo and Wang Bao were originally arguing over who was the ugliest, but they became more energetic after hearing Zhang Yuxuan's words.
"Yuxuan, you want to make a movie? What do you think of me? Can I act?" Huang Bo asked jokingly.
"Hey, if you can act ugly like you, I can even get in." Wang Bao'er followed up with this sentence, which seemed to be mocking Huang Bo, but in fact, it meant that he wanted to get in too.
"Don't worry, if the movie can be made, you two will definitely be indispensable." Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile, and then looked at Ning Hao: "Well, I just asked you if you are interested."
"Yes, of course I do! I'm very interested, I'm super interested." Ning Hao said quickly.
After all, Ning Hao is not in the future now. It is really not easy to take on a movie now.
"If you're interested, okay, we'll finish here later and we'll find a place to have a good chat. I'll also have someone send me the script." Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile.
"Okay, let's find a place to have a good chat later." Ning Hao said in high spirits: "Hey, today is really a good day. First, I joined Shiba Culture Media. I have a backer, and now I will take on a series of projects immediately.
It’s a drama. I, Ning Hao, have had a good time!"
Looking at Ning Hao like this, Zhang Yuxuan is in a good mood.
Huang Bo, Wang Baoru, and now Ning Hao are added to the list. The agents include Wang Jinghua and Li Hu. They are all talented people around me! In the future, I’m afraid I can simply win.
Well, Zhang Yuxuan seems to have never thought that with his current worth, he can actually win easily, especially since his current worth is almost all in the demolished house. Even if he does nothing in the rest of his life, he will still be able to win.
You can lie down completely.
Next, start all kinds of things and start talking to all kinds of people.
Mainly journalists and some people from the same company.
Although Wang Jinghua did not reveal how many shares Yuxuan holds in the company, and Zhang Yuxuan did not say anything about it, just because Zhang Yuxuan is now famous in the front line, many people are jealous of Zhang Yuxuan.
It can even be said that among the actors under the name of Wang Jinghua, except for those with Chen Daoming's age and status, Yuxuan Zhang is already the best. If Yuxuan Zhang is missing something, it is only a few points behind.
movie.
But now, with the establishment of Shiba Culture Media, Zhang Yuxuan, a front-line person, will definitely be fed a lot of resources by Wang Jinghua, allowing Zhang Yuxuan to get into the film industry. After all, Shiba Culture Media has just been established, and it must be pushed hard.
A few, show your capital and strength.
As for the male star, Zhang Yuxuan is the most suitable, and the female star is Li Bingbing.
At least the development speed of the two of them cannot be slower than when they were still in Huayi. Only in this way can Shiba Culture Media truly gain a foothold. Even if the director is lacking, it will not make people think that Shiba Culture Media will
One level lower than Huayi.
After everything was finally over, Zhang Yuxuan felt that he was almost exhausted. Mainly because of mental exhaustion.
Because Zhang Yuxuan is not good at dealing with this kind of things, and has no interest in them at all.
If Leslie Cheung had to experience this kind of thing every day, he felt that it would be more comfortable to film another movie "Fu Gui".
"Go directly to my house. The scripts are all at home, and you happen to know the door."
After leaving Shiba Culture Media, Zhang Yuxuan said to Ning Hao.
"Sure, I'll go and identify the door." Ning Hao nodded with a smile.
Huang Bo and Wang Baoqi also joined in the fun, especially since they are quite interested in Yuxuan Zhang's script. If there is a role suitable for them, they will directly take it.
I won’t talk about Huang Bo. He is doing well in the TV industry now. Although he cannot play the leading role due to honor issues, he has also played many supporting roles with characteristics and charm, and he is doing pretty well.
Can.
As for Wang Baoqi, although he filmed A World Without Thieves, his image of Shagen was so deep that he didn’t receive any good projects throughout this year. So he really hopes that he can play the role of Yuxuan Zhang.
If you can get a role in a movie, it's better to be a better one.
Another point is that Huang Bo, Wang Baoqi and Zhang Yuxuan are also very busy this year, and they don't have much time to get together. It's just a good time for everyone to get together.
As for the meeting place, it was naturally Zhang Yuxuan’s house.
On the one hand, Zhang Yuxuan's family is big, and on the other hand, Zhang Yuxuan doesn't like to go out very much. Most of the previous gatherings were held at Zhang Yuxuan's home.
