Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

"Director Wang, why are you calling me all of a sudden when you are free?" Speaking of which, his acquaintance with Wang Jin is quite interesting. The two have never collaborated before.

After all, Wang Jin's works are basically vulgar comedies or shit movies, which are quite different from Gu Zhongyu's personal style. He has never planned to be a comedian, and he has a lot of criticisms about the Hong Kong industry, so naturally he will not seek out Wang Jin. .

The reason why we have a good relationship is that at a dinner party after the Wanwan Golden Horse Awards, when the two of them were arranged to eat at the same table, Wang Jin said that he didn’t like Wanwan artists and felt that most of them were Being double-faced, saying unconscionable words while making money from the motherland, is really a kind of supercilious behavior. This aroused Gu Zhongyu's approval, feeling that this fat man was not useless except for being wretched, and the two of them got to know each other.

"What kind of great director am I? Last time I watched Mr. Gu's "Ball Lightning" and I was so shocked. I even called on my colleagues in Xiangjiang to watch it and learn from it, so that we would not be left too far behind. ”

What can you guys who make police movies and vulgar comedies learn from watching science fiction movies?

"Director Wang, just tell me what you have to say! If you called me so urgently today, you shouldn't be asking me for advice on making a movie, right?"

"Mr. Gu is quick to speak quickly, so I asked him directly. If there is anything I said wrong, don't be angry! I was also entrusted by someone, and I called just to ask. You... have a very good relationship with Mr. Zhao Wenzhuo. ?"

Sure enough, this is still the case. Wang Jin looks carefree, but he always likes to meddle in these nosy matters. Contrary to his seemingly shrewd and self-interested appearance, Wang Jin is a well-known warm-hearted person in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang.

The financial chain of "Infernal Affairs", the masterpiece that saved Hong Kong's film industry, was broken. In order to start filming, Wang Jin took the script to Media Asia overnight and went to Lin Jianyue to persuade him to invest in the filming. He also raised a lot of funds, which made this film possible. The pinnacle of Chinese-language films was released.

The famous art film director Xu Anhua looked down on Wang Jin, saying that he had a bad attitude towards filming and made bad films. But later when she made a literary film and no one invested in it, it was Wang Jin who was willing to step forward and give her money, and told him to just make it and it would be fine if he lost money.

This kind of behavior of Wang Jin made the movie "Famous" pay special tribute to him, "What a fucking lousy movie, I let investors make money, I made the cinema full, in the most difficult time, as long as I let everyone I am the king of bad movies, I am proud, I am proud!”

He also told his actors, "Don't accept bad movies just to get famous. If you need money, you can ask him for it."

Although Wang Jin himself is a professional in bad movies, he does not pretend or think that the audience is not good enough. It depends on how much money investors give him, and how much he can do. Once the investment comes in, they can guarantee that the work will be completed on time and on time, Party A's requirements will be met, and the film professionals who follow you can make some money every year. I used to think that he was a bad film director, but later I felt more and more that, compared to Gangzi Mouzi, he was too conscientious.

Gu Zhongyu was not surprised that Wang Jin came forward to take care of the matter this time, and asked him: "Then you and Zhen Zidan have a good relationship? Why do you have to go into this muddy water? It's not your movie, why are you so concerned about it? ?”

Wang Jin smiled bitterly: "I don't want to care about it, but people are begging me. I admit that Zhen Zidan went too far this time, but it is absolutely true that Zhao Wenzhuo is playing a big role. Mr. Gu, you You can ask anyone who knows the inside story, I’m not lying.”

"I didn't express my support for anyone! I just gave Yang Mi a like on Weibo, no need to make a fuss about it."

"But many people have misunderstood, including many friends in the domestic entertainment industry. We are all a family. Is there anything we can't sit down and talk about? Mr. Gu, are you right?"

Then the two people discussed how to quell the war. According to Wang Jin, the two of them took a step back and apologized to each other. It was good for everyone to let the matter go. Otherwise, if the quarrel continued like this, in fact There is no winner at all.

Gu Zhongyu didn't have any objections. He was an outsider to begin with. The key was what the two parties involved meant.

"Let's do this, Mr. Gu! I'll call Zhen Zidan, and you can help call Zhao Wenzhuo. When you return to Yanjing, we'll treat you to a treat. Then everyone will shake hands and make peace. If they still don't want to talk, Then let them scold you!"

It's like asking Gu Zhongyu to be the peacemaker, which is quite new. Usually he is the one who stirs up trouble with someone. This is the first time someone comes to him to calm down disputes in the entertainment industry.

"Okay! I'm only responsible for conveying the message. If Zhao Wenzhuo doesn't want to come, it's none of my business."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu. Don't worry, your work will not be in vain."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhongyu sent a message to Yang Mi, asking her to tell Zhao Wenzhuo if she was willing to settle the matter. If so, we could have a meal together in Yanjing to settle the matter.

Seeing that Gu Zhongyu took such a long time to come back from a phone call, Fan Binbin wanted to know if he was talking about serious business or if he was flirting with that little bitch again.

Before she could ask, Gu Zhongyu took the initiative to chat about this matter. After knowing that Wang Jin asked him to be the intermediary to mediate the Zhen Zhao war, Fan Binbin couldn't help but sigh.

"Times are changing so fast! Once upon a time, we mainland actors were the only ones who were bullied by them. Now we finally have the day when those guys look at our faces."

Fan Binbin started cooperating with the Hong Kong entertainment industry a long time ago. He still remembers the incident when Xie Bi Wang and Zhang Baldhead beat up Little White Dragon Wang Bo Zhao during the filming of "Little Fish and Flowerless", which triggered a big war between the domestic entertainment industry and the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

And the director of that drama was also Wang Jin. In the end, it was he who begged for mercy everywhere and helped Xie and Zhang to settle the matter.

Hong Kong actors at that time were really crazy. Even an assistant or a backstage staff member dared to look at the leading actors from the mainland, and they felt superior everywhere. Now the situation has changed, and these people finally have no capital to be arrogant.

~

After work in the evening, Gu Zhongyu lay on the bed, waiting for Fan Binbin to come, while flipping through the outline of the script he had written before, thinking about which modern drama the company would shoot this year.

In the past two years, the Korean wave has been coming, and the influence of Korean dramas has become increasingly greater. Almost any Korean star coming to China to perform can cause traffic jams. Gu Zhongyu has been unhappy about this for a long time.

Isn't your Goryeo the first stealing country in the universe?

So this time, Gu Zhongyu wanted to steal a Korean drama to pay tribute to them.

It can be regarded as learning from the barbarians to defeat them.

"My Love from the Star", "Descendants of the Sun", "Reply 1988", "Pinocchio"... There are too many to choose from. In recent years, the output and quality of Korean dramas have soared. Gu Zhongyu tried to choose those dramas that are more popular, and the difficulty of adaptation should be less, and they should be down-to-earth. Although many dramas have good themes, it is really troublesome to adapt them into local dramas. For example, those that satirize reality or supernatural are not suitable.

Still, love, light comedy and idol types are the best, which can also reduce the number of Korean fans in China.

Follow the path of Koreans and leave them with no way to go!

"Dong Dong Dong!"

Here it comes! My Yang Guifei!

Let's try to feel like Emperor Minghuang of Tang tonight.
