Chapter 210 The Stubborn Fan Xiaobing (Large Chapter)
"How is the editing going? Have you decided when it will be released?" Zhang Yuxuan came to the editor and saw Ning Hao with a stubble on his face.
"The editing went very smoothly. If there are no accidents in the middle, we can finish the post-production work last night before the National Day. However, Feng Gangpao's movie "The Night Banquet" seems to be released in mid-September, so Sister Hua is a little hesitant.
Should "Thirty-day Love" be released on National Day or on Singles' Day, November 11th?" Ning Hao said with a smile.
"The Night Banquet will be released in mid-September? Will Feng Gangpao not grab the Spring Festival slot?" Zhang Yuxuan was a little surprised.
After all, the Spring Festival movie was created by Feng Gangpao. It can be said that the Spring Festival movie is almost dominated by Feng Gangpao. Now Feng Gangpao's movie is released in advance, and the time is also scheduled in September. This is a bit
It's surprising.
"You are also surprised, right? So am I. That's why Sister Hua hesitated. Logically speaking, the box office of ordinary movies will drop to a certain level after being released for half a month. New movies will not have much impact when they are released.
Impact. However, Feng Gangpao's movie, and it is also a blockbuster, will make people feel that they need to avoid its edge. How much will the box office of Night Banquet movie drop in half a month?" Ning Hao couldn't help but
He shook his head, with a trace of envy flashing in his eyes.
Feng Gangpao has been working as a director and making movies over the years. His reputation has been established for a long time and is simply not comparable to that of Ning Hao now.
“National Day, Double Eleven—have you ever thought about earning money during the Spring Festival?” Zhang Yuxuan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"...Are you serious?"
"It's just a joke. After all, the competition for the Spring Festival is too fierce. National Day or Double Eleven Singles' Day are both good dates. However, Singles' Day is not a legal holiday and will not be a holiday at all. I
I think National Day is more appropriate." Zhang Yuxuan said.
"You are right to say that, but Sister Hua seems to have considered the publicity factor. It seems that it will be more convenient for publicity to watch a movie about lovelorn themes on Singles' Day. At least it is a gimmick."
"I still think the National Day schedule is better because there will be a holiday. And it is a seven-day long holiday. In addition, our movie is targeted at young people and working white-collar workers. They will have time to watch the movie after they have a holiday.
.I still think National Day is more appropriate." Zhang Yuxuan shook his head and expressed his opinion.
"What you said seems to be correct. But you should go to Sister Hua to discuss this matter. As for me, I just try to complete all the post-production work of the movie as soon as possible."
"Yes, I understand."
"By the way, the rebirth story you came up with before is very good!" Ning Hao gave Zhang Yuxuan another thumbs up: "But I always feel that a simple comedy is a bit of a waste of the idea of rebirth. If you can
A little more depth—"
"Ning Hao, that's just a comedy, not a drama, and it's not for winning awards." Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but interrupt Ning Hao.
"Well, that's right, that's right. I still didn't realize it for a while. Hahaha." Ning Hao laughed.
"Are you filming "Charlotte Troubles"?"
"Shoot, of course I did! How could I not shoot such a good script!" Ning Hao said quickly: "Since I have a good script and don't have to worry about investment or anything, how could I not shoot. Sure enough, there is still something behind it.
A big company is better, there is no need to worry about script investment or anything like that, just keep your head down and make a movie." Ning Hao said, smiling quite happily.
"As long as you feel happy."
"By the way, Yuxuan, let me tell you, Sister Hua told me before that as long as the movie "33 Days of Love" does well at the box office, Sister Hua will let me continue to increase the shares of our company that I hold. Maybe.
In the future, my shares in the company will be more than what you have." When Ning Hao said this, he became even more happy.
Wang Jinghua's words definitely made Ning Hao full of motivation.
After all, there is a big difference between working for others and making money for yourself.
"Then I have to congratulate you first." Zhang Yuxuan said congratulations. Since Wang Jinghua has said such words, Ning Hao will definitely be able to get more shares of Shiba Culture Media Company. After all, Ning Hao's own talent
It's just sitting here.
From now on, Ning Hao may become to Shiba Culture and Media what Feng Gangpao is to Huayi. No, it's not maybe, but definitely, this must be the case.
After chatting with Ning Hao for a while, Zhang Yuxuan said goodbye to Ning Hao. Ning Hao continued to edit the movie, while Zhang Yuxuan went to report to Wang Jinghua.
"Yuxuan, you are back." Wang Jinghua smiled with indescribable enthusiasm after seeing Zhang Yuxuan.
"Well, I just went to meet Ning Hao. He is still editing "Thirty-day Love". Sister Hua, when do you plan to have this movie released?" Zhang Yuxuan asked with a smile.
"It hasn't been finalized yet, but it will probably be during the National Day holiday or Double Eleven Singles' Day. Yuxuan, what do you think?" Wang Jinghua asked.
"It's National Day, it's a seven-day long holiday. The audience for our movie is probably white-collar workers. During the seven-day National Day holiday, they have enough time to watch movies, otherwise it would be wasted." Zhang Yuxuan said.
explain.
Hearing what Zhang Yuxuan said, Wang Jinghua thought for a moment and then nodded: "You are right to consider this aspect. Since you support the seven-day National Day holiday, then we will release it during the National Day."
In fact, whether it is National Day or Double Eleven, Wang Jinghua has analyzed these two time periods from many aspects, large and small.
This point mentioned by Zhang Yuxuan has already been considered by Wang Jinghua.
Now that Zhang Yuxuan can explain it so thoroughly, Wang Jinghua simply chooses the time that Zhang Yuxuan thinks is suitable from these two time periods.
"By the way, Yuxuan, that notebook about Charlotte's troubles is pretty good!" When Wang Jinghua talked about this notebook, her expression looked even more joyful.
To be honest, Wang Jinghua never thought that Zhang Yuxuan had such ability before.
In Wang Jinghua's view, it is enough for Yuxuan Zhang to be a good actor. In order to expand his fame, the worst he can do is release two albums.
By the way, in recent years, the sales of albums have been increasing. Most of those who release albums and personal records now do not have very high sales. Eighty percent of people who release records end up losing money.
.
The albums that Yuxuan released before did not lose money, but they did not make much money.
Especially compared to being an actor and filming, the money earned from releasing albums is simply not too little. In other words, I want to make Yuxuan Zhang more famous and more popular, so I helped him release the album.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of time and effort to collect the songs, and even go all the way to Little Japan to buy the copyrights. It would be really not worthwhile to spend so much effort and earn so much money.
Wang Jinghua did not expect that in addition to being an actor, Yuxuan Zhang could also write stories.
Although the book of Thirty-three Days of Love was ultimately written by Xing Aina, the main body and ideas of the story were created by Yuxuan Zhang. The filming has now been completed and post-production is in progress.
Immediately afterwards, Yuxuan Zhang came up with another story that seemed to be more interesting, Charlotte was troubled.
Wang Jinghua discovered that Zhang Yuxuan is really good, whether it is writing stories or adapting scripts, or Zhang Yuxuan's own vision for selecting scripts.
That's right, it's Yuxuan Zhang's own vision for selecting scripts. Since his debut, all the movies that Yuxuan has filmed have been selected by himself, and the ratings of the movies he filmed have been very high. It seems that there has never been a mistake in the selection of a script.
.
"Charlotte is worried about this book. When does Sister Hua plan to shoot it?" Since Wang Jinghua mentioned it, Zhang Yuxuan simply asked.
"It depends on the situation, look at the situation of Love Lost for Thirty-three Days. After all, the only director in our company now is Ning Hao. Naturally, the first consideration for my company's scripts is my own director. Wait a moment, wait for Love Lost
Thirty-three days after the release." Wang Jinghua's words were not complete.
But Zhang Yuxuan understood the meaning of Wang Jinghua's words. He probably wanted to see the final box office performance of Ning Hao's "Love Is Not Blind".
Use the movie "Love Is Not Blind" to prove Ning Hao's strength.
If this movie makes money, it can be sure that Ning Hao himself is good. If Thirty-three Days After Love is an unprecedented box office hit, it will be even more proof that Ning Hao himself is super talented and definitely needs focus and investment.
object.
If the movie "Love Is Not Blind" fails to make money - Ning Hao will still continue to train the director, but the intensity of the training will be reduced.
This is also an aspect that a qualified boss should consider.
…
"Originally I planned to take advantage of this period of time to find another movie for you to film, but in a month, The Deer and the Cauldron will start filming. The male lead, Wei Xiaobao, and Zhang Dabeard have already agreed with you before that you will be the actor.
"The rest of the time is a little embarrassing. As for movies, there are no suitable movies in the near future. It's mainly a matter of time. If the time is longer..." Li He said a little helplessly.
"You can just rest for another month, it's okay." Zhang Yuxuan waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Didn't you get enough rest? Most of this year has passed, and you have just made a serious movie called "Love Is Not Blind". Although you are the male protagonist, the movie itself is a chick flick, and your role is not
Not much, and then I played a little more role in Golden Armor. It can be said that you didn't do much serious filming this year." Li He shook his head helplessly.
In fact, this situation is normal.
If Zhang Yuxuan had not thought about jumping from the TV drama industry to the film industry, Zhang Yuxuan would never stop receiving various script invitations all year round.
But because Zhang Yuxuan was going to make a movie, the script of the TV series was pushed forward, and in the film industry, Zhang Yuxuan was considered a newcomer.
Therefore, the stage that Leslie Cheung is currently in is a relatively embarrassing stage.
Fortunately, the previous filming of "Crazy Stone" became a dark horse, and the supporting role Mike played by Yuxuan Zhang also took advantage of the situation to become popular, so he was still able to receive some scripts to some extent.
It's just that although I can get some movie scripts, most of them are supporting roles, and because Zhang Yuxuan will have to film The Deer and the Cauldron later, the time interval and length of time in between are a bit embarrassing. Either the character is not good, or the character is not good enough.
Not enough time.
"After Love Is Not Blind is released, many movies will come to me. Let's talk about it then." Zhang Yuxuan said nonchalantly.
"You are really confident in "Thirty-day Love"!" Li He couldn't help but say.
"Of course, I came up with the story myself, wrote the script myself, and participated in the movie myself. How could I not have confidence in it?"
"Okay, let me see how much the box office of your movie can be." Li He couldn't help shaking his head, but he was still full of expectations. He really hoped that the movie "Love Is Not Blind" would have a good success.
The box office should preferably be better than that of Crazy Stone. In that case, even if it is a chick flick, as the male lead, Yuxuan Zhang will never turn down invitations for movie scripts in the future.
Just as Zhang Yuxuan was flipping through the script of The Deer and the Cauldron sent to him by Zhang Dabeard, his cell phone rang.
Henry Zhang saw the caller ID on his cell phone, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Who is it? You seem surprised?"
"Fan Xiaobing."
"Fan Xiaobing? She chose to stay in Huayi before, and her relationship with us is now severed, right? Why did she call you again? What happened?" Li He couldn't help but wonder.
"Just ask." Zhang Yuxuan said and answered the phone.
"..."
"Well, it's me. It's true that I haven't practiced for a while."
"..."
"Looking for me to make a movie? Male lead?" Zhang Yuxuan looked stunned.
"..."
"Okay, let's meet and talk."
Zhang Yuxuan hung up the phone.
"Fan Xiaobing asked you to make a movie?" Li He asked immediately after seeing Zhang Yuxuan hang up the phone.
"Well, she said there was a movie in which she was the heroine, so she asked me if I wanted to be the hero. If I did, she would recommend me." Zhang Yuxuan nodded.
"Tsk, what is going on? Fan Xiaobing clearly stayed in Huayi, and now she has accepted the movie, but she asked you to be the leading actor. What does this mean? Could it be that Huayi wants to poach you?" Li Hedong frowned.
He frowned and pondered.
"Probably not. I have joined Shiba Culture Media now. Even if I didn't tell anyone, Huayi should know that I hold shares in Shiba Culture Media." Zhang Yuxuan shook his head and said.
"So, what's going on? Could it be that Fan Xiaobing wants to find a way out for herself?" Li He said thoughtfully.
"It's possible."
"Forget it, go meet her and have a chat, then you will know what's going on." Li Hed could only say this.
Zhang Yuxuan also nodded.
After that, Zhang Yuxuan and Fan Xiaobing met at the agreed place.
“Long time no see!” Zhang Yuxuan.
"Long time no see, what would you like to drink?" Fan Xiaobing said to Zhang Yuxuan with a smile.
"Coffee." Yuxuan Zhang.
After a few pleasantries, everything got down to business.
"Take a look, this is the script." Fan Xiaobing placed a script in front of Zhang Yuxuan.
""Lost in the Capital"?" Zhang Yuxuan looked at the four words on the script.
"This is director Li Yu's script. I went there for awards. I think the script is pretty good. Then, I think it would be great to film with you, so I want to invite you to be the leading actor in this drama.
." Fan Xiaobing said with a smile.
"Then I really want to thank Sister Xiaobing." Zhang Yuxuan said, and then opened the script.
The content of the script is quite simple. It is about a couple from out of town who came to the capital to work. The man is a window washer who works at high altitudes, and the woman is a foot-washing girl in the foot-washing city, and then——
Zhang Yuxuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Fan Xiaobing with wide eyes.
"Sister Xiaobing, is this script a bit too much?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but said: "Can it be filmed at this scale?"
"No problem. Director Li Yu has consulted and it can be filmed. At most, we just need to delete some scenes when it is released." Fan Xiaobing said with a smile.
"Sister Xiaobing, I'm sorry, I think-"
"I'll go into battle myself. What? I don't even care. You, a grown man, care so much?" Fan Xiaobing said with a smile.
"...You don't need a substitute?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but look at Fan Xiaobing in surprise.
"Didn't I just say that this script is aimed at winning awards? Do you think using a stand-in can win awards?" Fan Xiaobing shook his head.
"But, is this scale worth it?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.
It’s a bit hard for Yuxuan Zhang to understand that in order to win an award, he has to go out and shoot this kind of movie, and it’s not certain whether he will win the award in the end.
"I need an award to accompany me!" Fan Xiaobing pursed his lips slightly, then raised his head and looked at Zhang Yuxuan, and said seriously.
"..."
"Yuxuan, if you want to be in the film industry, you either have enough money or enough acting skills. Needless to say, money. The only thing that can prove your acting skills is awards. My contract with Huayi
, will expire next year. To be honest, I have other plans in mind, so I am bound to win the movie this time." Fan Xiaobing spoke decisively.
"The contract with Huayi expires next year?" Zhang Yuxuan somewhat understood what Fan Xiaobing was thinking.
"Yuxuan, you won't tell anyone about this, will you?" Fan Xiaobing's expression changed slightly. She suddenly lost her words and revealed something, and she felt a little regretful.
"Don't you know, my sister Xiaobing? I never tell other people's secrets to anyone. Don't worry, sister Xiaobing, I haven't heard anything." Zhang Yuxuan shook his head quickly.
"Thank you, Yuxuan. This script is actually pretty good, and it also comes with benefits. So, do you really want to refuse? To be honest, I wouldn't be disgusted if I filmed this movie with you. If I change
Be someone else - so, how about you help me?" Fan Xiaobing turned into a smiling face again, and said to Yuxuan Zhang with a smile.
"Well, let's forget it. I feel that this script - how should I put it, in fact, if you want to win awards, you don't necessarily have to make this kind of movie. Sister Xiaobing, to be honest, your current popularity with the audience is very good.
Although you may hate others calling you Jinsuo, this role has indeed given you a huge foundation. Almost everyone has a certain fondness for you. But after this movie is made, Sister Xiaobing, you will only
Afraid of——" Zhang Yuxuan shook his head and said.
"Audience popularity, it doesn't matter if it's a TV series, but this is a movie -" Fan Xiaobing heard what Zhang Yuxuan said, and she understood it, but she was still very stubborn in her heart.
"The same goes for movies. This movie may not be able to win awards! At least in domestic awards, this movie will definitely not be able to participate." Zhang Yuxuan said decisively.
"I don't want to win awards from the Mainland. Isn't an international movie queen better than a mainland movie queen?" Fan Xiaobing said with a smile.
"..." Zhang Yuxuan looked at Fan Xiaobing, who now wanted to win the award, and really didn't know what to say.
"Yuxuan, how about helping sister for once?"
"Sister Xiao Bing, I still think that this kind of script is not good. If you want to win awards, you don't have to make this kind of movie! After this movie is released in China, what do you think the domestic audience will think and think of you? Sister Xiao Bing
, you are serious about filming, are willing to work hard, and your acting skills are not bad, so don't rush." Zhang Yuxuan persuaded with sincerity.
Fan Xiaobing's smile gradually faded, and he shook his head, with a hint of stubbornness in his expression: "Yuxuan, if you want to step into the international circle, you must have a certain reputation in the world-"
"Sister Xiao Bing, you have just started to make your mark in China, and you want to go abroad. Are you too anxious? First, consolidate your position in China. First, film two movies that can win domestic Best Actress nominations or even awards.
Wouldn't it be better to lay a good foundation at home and then move abroad?" Zhang Yuxuan felt quite helpless.
To be honest, Zhang Yuxuan was quite moved by Fan Xiaobing's invitation. After all, Fan Xiaobing is also a beautiful woman, especially with Fan Xiaobing's figure, Zhang Yuxuan dare to say that she is definitely a very comfortable type.
Moreover, when filming this kind of scene, Fan Xiaobing can think of him, which also shows that Fan Xiaobing is relatively close to Zhang Yuxuan in his heart.
But it was precisely because of this that Zhang Yuxuan wanted to persuade Fan Xiaobing more and more.
Now Zhang Yuxuan seems to have remembered that "Lost in the Capital" should have changed its name later and changed it to "Apple". It seems that this drama has been mentioned frequently by countless people for a long time, and Fan
It seems that Xiao Bing didn't win any good awards for this movie.
It should be said that Fan Xiaobing's efforts for this drama are not worth it.
"Sister Xiaobing, I think if you really want to win an award, you don't have to make this kind of movie. You can change the direction and make some rural stories or stories in remote mountainous areas. People abroad like to watch that type of movie.
.A play like yours with strong sexual overtones may not even be nominated." Yuxuan persuaded again.
Fan Xiaobing frowned, thinking about the possibility that Zhang Yuxuan said.
“I have put so much effort into filming, and it’s okay to win an award. But if I don’t even win an award, it would be a joke.”
