Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 91 90. Do you have the guts to make a blockbuster movie? (First order required)

Wei Wu's guess was correct. After he followed Yu Dong into the private room of a high-end restaurant, sitting at the main table was a middle-aged man with a dark skin and an ordinary appearance, wearing a black Chinese formal suit.

Although this man does not have an outstanding appearance and is not tall, he has the aura of a big man who is not angry and has no authority, or it can be said that he is a leader. No wonder some people say that he is a mountain eagle in the film industry.

Wei Wu immediately nodded and took the initiative to say hello:

"Third Master."

"Hello", Han Sanping immediately stood up to shake hands with him, patted his shoulder affectionately and said:

"Wei Wu, your name has almost sounded like a cocoon in my ears recently. You are indeed a talented person. A hero comes from a young boy!"

Wei Wu said modestly: "I don't dare to accept it. Third Master, you have given me the award! I have admired you for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today."

Han Sanping laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, the young man is really good at talking!"

In fact, one of the important reasons why Han Sanping favored Wei Wu was that as a distributor and theater, "The Journey" made China Film Group a lot of money.

Money is not a trivial matter. The key is that the leadership team of China Film Group will be re-elected next year. This political achievement comes at the right time for Han Sanping who hopes to become a full-time official!

At this time, Yu Dong took advantage of the opportunity and said: "Wei Wu, you may not know it yet, but actually the third master also studied at Nortel."

Han Sanping also echoed: "Well, our class was a director training class in 1983. The class was in Zhuxinzhuang. Huang Jianxin was the squad leader and I was the branch secretary. But time flies so fast. It’s been 20 years!”

Wei Wu murmured in his heart, no wonder Huang Jianxin was so wild later. It turned out that he and Han Sanping still had this relationship.

So connections are really important. If you have certain abilities and can get along with an awesome classmate, you can really do well.

Speaking of Huang Jianxin, maybe everyone is not that familiar. After all, he mainly does behind-the-scenes work, serving as a producer and the like.

But the reason why actor Ou Hao, who was born as a fast boy, has such good resources, he can get basically every blockbuster with the main theme, was actually introduced to him by Huang Jianxin.

"Come on, everyone, sit down. Stop standing."

After Han Sanping asked Wei Wu to sit down, Yu Dong began to greet the waiter to serve the food, and then the three of them began to push cups and change cups. Of course, Wei Wu and Yu Dong took turns to flatter Han Sanping.

It’s impossible not to take pictures! Han Sanping has just taken office. To be precise, he has not officially served as chairman of China Film Group yet. Instead, he is temporarily presiding over daily work as vice chairman. He will not officially become chairman until the official change of office next year.

In his previous life, he did not officially retire until 2014, which means that he could still be the godfather of domestic entertainment for at least ten years. Can Wei Wu not please him?

China Film is a typical monopoly. As the largest state-owned enterprise in the film industry, it has a complete monopoly on the film import business. With the support of theater chains, it can make a lot of money every year from its distribution business alone.

The position that Han Sanping stood in allowed him to easily mobilize many resources that were difficult for ordinary people to access, including funds, connections and even administrative connections.

Wei Wu is not afraid of offending Chen Kaige, but he certainly cannot offend Han Sanping!

If someone wants to mess with you, it can be as simple as blocking your schedule. And even if you become as good as Zhang Yimou, he still has plenty of ways to treat you!

Zhang Weiping, a partner of Lao Mouzi in his previous life, once criticized Han Sanping for bullying and dominating the market, saying that if you didn't cooperate with him, he would produce some imported movies to compete with you.

What Zhang Weiping is talking about here is that when Lao Mouzi's new film "Three Shots" was released in 2009, it was squeezed by the Hollywood blockbusters "2012" and "District 9", resulting in poor box office.

In fact, among the three major directors, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige basically followed Han Sanping's lead. For example, Feng Xiaogang's "Party A, Party B" and Chen Kaige's "The Promise" were ultimately successful at the box office, and Han Sanping helped them. Vigorously.

Especially for "The Promise", without the support of Han Sanping, could Chen Kaige alone mobilize so many high-level resources to promote it 360 degrees without blind spots?

Only Zhang Yimou maintained his own identity, vaguely wanting to listen to the instructions but not the announcement. Even the great directors of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" went there but he didn't. No wonder Han Sanping gave him some shoes to wear.

"Wei Wu, I heard that you and Chen Kaige are having some trouble. Do you want me to help you talk it over?"

Wei Wu immediately picked up the wine glass and said, "If you, Third Master, are willing to help us make peace, that would be the best.

"Actually, it was mainly because Director Chen had some misunderstandings about me. He didn't know who was making the nonsense, but he actually believed that I was the mastermind behind the "Steamed Buns" video.

"Actually, I am really unjust! Because I have never met or had any contact with the video author, Brother Hu, before. I knew there was such a person, and that was only after this video became popular.

“Our company places advertisements to online video authors, which is a normal business practice.

"And the specific execution of this matter is done by my subordinates. The most I can do is type up their report and then sign the agreement casually.

"So it's unjust to say that I am the mastermind behind it! This video was all Brother Hu's idea from start to finish. If Director Chen doesn't believe it, you can just let him investigate."

Of course this is false. In fact, to be honest, Wei Wu didn't care at all whether he reconciled with others or not, and he never regretted offending Chen Kaige.

But the problem is that he can never leave a harsh impression of disrespecting his predecessors in front of the leadership. After all, no leader would like such a stupid young man!

Anyway, he had already obtained the benefits. Even if Han Sanping asked him to apologize to Brother Chen Kai in private, it would not be negotiable.

Anyway, Wei Wu is not that shameless person. In his previous life, he was still a bitch at the age of 40, so how could he still have any face? Therefore, he doesn't care much about superficial things like face. He values ​​actual benefits more.

The reason why Wei Wu said this was because of Bo Han Sanping's favor. After all, Chen Kaige counts as one, and Jiang Wen counts as one. They are basically the two most respected directors in Han Sanping.

Now Wei Wu's status in Han Sanping's mind is of course incomparable to that of Chen Kaige, even if "The Promise" has become a hit.

Wei Wu can be considered a rising star at best, while Chen Kaige is a veteran who has proven himself several times.

In his previous life, even though "The Promise" was getting a lot of buzz, Han Sanping didn't give up on Chen Kaige. Later, China Film immediately invested in his next movie "Mei Lanfang."

Seeing that Wei Wu was so knowledgeable, Han Sanping happily clinked glasses with him and said:

"Well, we are all just twirling people in the pot, looking down and not looking up. There is no need to get into a tense situation. Harmony makes you rich!"

"When I set up a round, you two can have a good chat and resolve the misunderstanding and everything will be fine."

Wei Wu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "No problem, I'll be here when you call."

Wei Wu didn't care, since he wasn't the one who suffered anyway, so let him take advantage of the other party's words!

Wei Wu thought while picking up the vegetables that Han Sanping probably didn't meet him for such a thing, but for other things.

As expected, I heard Han Sanping chatting about another topic:

"I heard that there will be a sequel to "The Journey", right? When is the sequel going to start filming? Are there any financial difficulties?"

Wei Wu thought to himself that it was indeed here. Could it be that China Film Group wanted to invest in "囧"?

In fact, Han Sanping was not the first to speak up. These days, many people came to him through his uncle Zhang Jizhong or his teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang. Of course, some also approached his prospective mother-in-law Liu Xiaoli, and they all unanimously proposed that they would like to appear in "The Man on the Road". "Get a share of the sequel.

However, Wei Wu temporarily stalled the project on the grounds that it had not yet started.

However, when this project is officially approved, some things will inevitably happen, and some investment share will be allocated.

Fortunately, "Those Years" was filmed early, otherwise maybe even this movie would get some investment share!

No matter what industry, if one person gets fat by eating alone, he will not go far. You can eat meat, but you have to give others a chance to eat soup. Otherwise, there will be no room for you in this circle in the end!

However, he could prevaricate others, but once Han Sanping opened his mouth, he would certainly not be able to do so directly, so he spoke carefully:

"Actually, the script has been written and the actors have been finalized. There is still a small gap in funding..."

Han Sanping nodded and said, "Well, anyway, when you start shooting, you can come to me at any time if you have any questions, whether it's funding or anything else, I will definitely help you if I can."

Wei Wu raised his glass again: "Okay, okay, thank you, Third Master. Come and let me toast you."

Wei Wu drank it all in one gulp again, and then began to wonder in his heart, what exactly did this mean? Do you want to invest or are you just being polite?

However, Han Sanping seemed to see his confusion, so he took advantage of the situation and said:

"I have certain expectations for your sequel project, but to be honest, I don't want to have a hand in it.

"Actually, I came to you today to see if you have any ideas about shooting a commercial blockbuster?"

Wei Wu couldn't help but his heart moved: "Blockbuster?"

Han Sanping waved his hand: "Yes, young people just have to dare to think and do what they do. What's the point of always making small fuss?

"Do you know why I'm looking for you instead of someone else? In addition to your solid skills, what's more important is that I particularly appreciate your spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and your spirit is high enough!

"You have that kind of energy in you. Just like the first time I met Jiang Wen, there is a kind of energy that makes you so awesome that you don't give in!

“When I proposed making a blockbuster movie just now, if it were anyone else, his first reaction would be fear.

"Can I make a blockbuster? What if I screw up such a big investment? But I don't see a trace of self-doubt in your eyes, I just see eagerness to try.

"On this point, I know that I have found the right person today. Let's see if you have the courage to make a commercial blockbuster?"
