World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Baby, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Qin Dong waited for Mimi to change clothes and come out. The two of them walked towards the outside of the base and asked with concern.

Many times when the two of them are together, Mimi imitates Sisi and likes to cook by herself.

It's a pity that her craftsmanship is far inferior to Sisi's.

However, Qin Dong never said that as long as a woman is willing to do it, she will finish it and never dislike it.

However, recently, because the filming has come to an end, all of them are Mimi's one-man shows, and she is filmed alone around the clock. Qin Dong is reluctant to let the woman go back to cook at night, which is too tiring.

"Eat whatever you want, husband, I don't eat much tonight."

Mimi hugged Qin Dong's arm and said softly after hearing the words.

At present, she has not quit the acting industry, so she pays great attention to maintaining her figure and avoids many foods.

"Okay, last time I had dinner with Zhou Anping and Liu Shengda, I found that the food in that villa was very delicious and the location was very hidden. You can't get in without connections. I just want to take you to try it."

Qin Dong thought of the place where he had dinner with someone last time. Although the place was expensive, the taste was really great. He suggested that he take his woman to eat well. This is the basic operation of a good man.

"Well, I listen to you, husband."

Mimi's head is nodding, just let your man make the decision.

The two of them walked out of the base while talking and came to the parking lot outside. They were about to get in the car when a car drove up and stopped in front of them.

"Chairman."

Before the car stopped, someone shouted.

"Um?"

Qin Dong turned around and saw that it was Xu Li. When the other party got off the car, he saw that not only Xu Li, but Xu Wenfeng had also arrived, followed by a man about thirty years old. Qin Dong glanced at it and had an impression that it was Xu Li.

Li's biological brother, I forgot his name.

"Director Xu, Wen Feng, do you have something to do with me?"

"Chairman, there's something going on, and I think you may need to come forward."

Xu Li first smiled and nodded at Mimi as a greeting, and then explained to Qin Dong.

The chairman values ​​his woman very much. A woman who respects the chairman respects the chairman. Xu Lita knows how to do that.

"oh..."

Qin Dong nodded and looked at these people:

"Well, you follow me in the car, and I'll treat you to dinner by the way."

After saying that, Qin Dong pulled Mimi into the car.

...

Bamboo Grove Villa.

This is the place where Qin Dong had dinner with his two disciples Zhou Anping and Liu Shengda last time.

At that time, the two of them were very considerate and helped Qin Dong apply for a membership card, so Qin Dong could bring people here.

I asked for a large private room.

A large dining table that can seat a dozen people.

Qin Dong was not a germaphobe, so the six bodyguards who followed him also came to the table.

Normally, when going out to eat like this, bodyguards would be done separately.

But tonight Xu Li came with someone. It would be bad if they served the table and asked the bodyguards to do it separately.

After three rounds of drinking, no, no one drank.

When he was almost full and drunk, Qin Dong asked:

"Tell me what's going on."

During the meal, Qin Dong didn't ask, and Xu Li didn't dare to talk. It wasn't until Qin Dong asked, that Xu Li started to talk.

"A new movie directed by Zhou Xingxing?"

After Qin Dong listened, he found out what Xu Li, the head of the agency department, had brought the artist to do with him.

Zhou Xingxing, as the king of comedy, is the founder of Nonsensical and an actor with a strong personality. No matter how outstanding his acting skills are, they will not be sky-breaking, but they are unique.

It's a nonsensical comedy. At present, I can't find anyone else who can play it.

That kind of exaggerated performance method, another person would use too much force. The better one is [Roaring Emperor] Teacher Ma Jingtao. This is all good. It can be seen that most people cannot learn this kind of performance method, or

It is said that Zhou Xingxing can perfectly interpret this kind of performance at present.

In the late 1990s, Zhou Xingxing transitioned from an actor to a director and began to write, direct and act in his own films.

It's just that this person was active in the 1980s and 1990s. Now he is older. After the new century, there are fewer and fewer movies.

We used to shoot at least a few movies every year, but now we shoot one movie every few years.

Coupled with some minor health problems, Zhou Xingxing has decided to retire behind the scenes since the last movie he starred in six or seven years ago.

A few years ago, he served as a screenwriter and producer and produced an animated film of the same name.

This is the first time he plans to shoot a live-action movie, but the starring role is no longer himself. This is the first time Zhou Xingxing has shot a movie without himself as the actor.

Speaking of which, this news is quite sensational. After all, this person is the childhood idol of many mainland viewers.

Most of his movies are comedies, which are very popular among mainland audiences.

"So, Director Xu, are you suspecting that Li Jie greeted Director Zhou and that Xu Wenfeng lost to Zhou Yi when he auditioned?"

Xu Li hurriedly explained, fearing that Qin Dong would have villainous thoughts towards her:

"Yes, Chairman, I am not petty and suspicious. The Chairman also knows Xu Wenfeng's acting skills, and Wenfeng can endure hardships and does not have the baggage of an idol. In Director Zhou's new movie, the leading actor needs to shave his head. Wenfeng

No objection, in this case, I can't think of a reason why Director Zhou would rather see me last week than Wen Feng."

Qin tapped his fingers on the table, not commenting on what he said.

An actor's excellent acting skills does not mean that he can play all the roles, unless he is the versatile actor Tony Leung Ka Fai, so Xu Li is still biased.

But this is a member of his own company, and Xu Wenfeng is also an artist of the company. Qin Dong will not say anything about emotions or reasons. It is human nature to be partial to his own people, and Qin Dong himself is like this.

"Director Xu, have you found out who is the investor in Director Zhou's new movie?"

Hearing this, Xu Li quickly told all the information she knew:

"Chairman, I asked around. Among them are Director Zhou's own company and three other companies. I'm not sure whether the contract has been signed or not."

"Bigo Film Company, Village Roadshow Film Company, Cultural Communication Company, Anle Film Company."

Qin Dong nodded, thinking of something.

Although this movie did not have investment from the four major mainland entertainment private giants, mainland distribution could not be avoided. Later, when Director Zhou was responsible for the distribution, the global distribution found Twentieth Century Fox, while the mainland chose Brothers and Friendship Company.

There was a lawsuit over this, because Brothers and Friendship Company was not a good person, and they felt that since Zhou Xingxing was no longer an actor, there would not be much profit to be made in the future.

Therefore, for the profit of this movie, I am also greedy. I watched Director Zhou's movie and made a lot of money. I was so jealous that I directly stole most of the profits, which caused Director Zhou Xingxing to confront the company in court.

However, I heard that Director Zhou was also negligent. He may have thought that big companies would not be too greedy for money, so some procedures were not completed and they were talked about verbally. There may be memorandums and the like, but there was no clear contract agreement, so there was so much later.

There were so many messy things that ended up in court.

"Let's do this..."

After Qin Dong finished thinking, he looked at Xu Li and gave instructions:

"Director Xu, try to find out as much as possible tomorrow to see if Director Zhou's new movie investment has signed good contracts with other companies."

"If not, we will step in and provide as much funds as Director Zhou needs."

"And the distribution issue was solved for him in one go."

"Well, you should inquire about this matter first. After you find out clearly, I will contact Director Zhou personally and I will talk to him."

"Speaking of which, I also like to watch Director Zhou's movies. I have seen less than twenty of them, but about ten."

Qin Dong's words made Xu Li and others light up with joy.

They had an inexplicable belief in Qin Dong, as if Qin Dong could do whatever he said.

"Okay, Chairman, I will handle this matter in person tomorrow."
