Zhang Huawei himself has a studio.
The ordinary business and management are taken care of by his wife Xu Ruiping.
Zhang Huawei and Xu Ruiping are a typical young and old couple.
There is a 10-year age difference between the two. Xu Ruiping had just graduated from the film school and the first movie she starred in was Zhang Huawei's.
She was a supporting actress at the time. After filming this drama, she became Zhang Huawei's girlfriend.
Two years later, the two got married and gave birth to a son and a daughter, which made Zhang Huawei very satisfied.
There were nannies and elderly people at home to help take care of the children, so Xu Ruiping focused half of her energy on Zhang Huawei's work.
All related business activities, as well as Zhang Huawei and the film company have negotiated cooperation intentions, and the rest is all left to her to help negotiate the specific details.
Over the years, Zhang Huawei, who was originally irritable and a bit arrogant, has gained a good reputation among major film and television companies. Half of the reason is thanks to Xu Ruiping's good relationship.
This morning, Xu Ruiping went to attend an event in her daughter's kindergarten. When she returned to the studio, she saw several staff talking happily.
"What's wrong?" she asked curiously.
"Sister Xu!" A female staff member said with a smile, "What a happy event! Teacher Lu just passed over Teacher Chu's script! Director Zhang is reading it right now!"
"oh?"
Xu Ruiping was also overjoyed. She didn't care to talk to them anymore. She arrived at the door of Zhang Huawei's office in a few steps, knocked on the door and pushed the door straight in.
Zhang Huawei glanced up, and after realizing it was his wife, he looked down at the thick stack of manuscripts.
Xu Ruiping walked over and picked up the previous manuscripts that Zhang Huawei had read. On the first page, there were two big characters.
Embarrassing.
Xu Ruiping also came from a major, and she slowly started reading the script.
When she finished reading it without realizing it, she found that Zhang Huawei had already lit up a cigarette, filling the room with smoke.
"bored to death!"
Xu Ruiping complained, got up and opened the window.
A burst of cold air rushed in instantly, making Zhang Huawei shiver.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Huawei frowned.
"Smoking, smoking, smoking all day long! Is smoking a good thing? If you die early from smoking, what will happen to your son and daughter?" Xu Ruiping was not afraid of him, "You have to live to at least 80 years old, otherwise I won't be able to spare you. !”
I think back then, Xu Ruiping was also a delicate little girl.
As a result, after so many years of training in career and life, I have become stronger.
Zhang Huawei is very domineering outside. Although he is filming a comedy, in fact, he can often make people cry when he scolds them.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the fighting power to directly engage in verbal sparring with dozens of reporters, and scold them until they were red-faced and on the verge of tears.
It can be seen that Xu Ruiping was so angry that he could only calm down and put out the cigarette butt.
"How was Xiaoxin in kindergarten today?" He changed the subject.
"She is so good, both teachers and classmates like her!" Xu Ruiping was also very happy when she mentioned her daughter. "Today's show also won first place! How about she be my daughter? She is so talented in acting! "
Zhang Huawei twitched his mouth.
I think that as a mother, you are a second-rate mother, far worse than a first-rate mother, but you still have the nerve to brag about yourself.
But because she is also talking about her own daughter, Zhang Huawei certainly will not belittle her.
As soon as his thoughts changed, Zhang Huawei knocked on the table, "What do you think of the script of "Thailand"?"
"The concept is actually very simple, but the content process is very interesting." Xu Ruiping said, "In recent years, Chinese movies have rarely been shot in Thailand, especially comedies... This way, Thailand's customs and plots can be perfectly integrated. Together, we take people to explore Thailand with laughter, but it is also very creative."
"Can it be done?"
"certainly!"
Xu Ruiping answered simply: "None of Mr. Chu's scripts are good. And I think this comedy is tailor-made for you! Who else can film this script well except you? It's not that simple. !”
Zhang Huawei smiled.
His wife's respect for him is also deep-rooted.
Over the years, he has also encountered some setbacks, but every time Xu Ruiping actively encouraged him and let him continue to struggle, and he became the comedy king director he is today.
But then again, the script written by Mr. Chu Liuxiang really made him feel very novel, making him eager to film it as soon as possible.
"Shen Huan told me when he passed on the script just now. Mr. Chu has watched my movies before and wrote several scripts based on my style. This is the most suitable and polished one at the moment." Zhang Huawei He said, "So you see, a genius is a genius! After watching other people's style movies, he can make a script that suits this director!"
I now know that the script he gave to Mr. Hao He must be in line with Mr. Hao He’s preferences, so he can’t wait to start production! "
"I can't say I can't wait. He is still carefully selecting actors and making preliminary preparations." Xu Ruiping knows more about things in the industry. "He spends half of his time in Beijing and half of his time in Northwest China. He is busy It's been a month or two, but we haven't seen the official start of filming yet!
That is to say, he met Yang Feng, otherwise other film companies would allow him to waste money like this? Not even if he is Hao He! "
Zhang Huawei nodded slightly.
He also had ideals and ambitions back then, and wanted to make movies that were sincere and profound.
But the reality made him suffer a lot of blows, and finally he simply embarked on the path of this low-cost comedy.
One of the biggest constraints is actually the cost issue.
Every film company boss wants to achieve big output with a small cost, and they all want to make a big impact with a small amount.
Except for a few people, no one can use huge capital to make movies.
At that time, if you could get more than 30 million investment, it was considered a good production.
If you can get an investment of 100 million, it will be even more terrifying.
And if you look at those directors who made big budgets and investments back then, how many are left now
Hao He is the only one!
In this way, Hao He has been unable to get large-cost investment to make movies in recent years, and can only make some simple literary movies.
If there had been a boss like Yang Feng, maybe Zhang Huawei would have become a great international director, just like Hao He.
So Zhang Huawei really admires Hao He for being able to persist until now.
He also likes Yang Feng even more, who can spend so much money and let everyone make movies as they like.
