Qin Lan agreed, and Yue Guan felt that nothing unexpected would happen.
But an accident happened here with Chen Kaige.
He and his wife Chen Hong came to visit Yueguan.
An enthusiastic attitude.
"I watched "Search" and the script was very well written." Chen Kaige gave Yue Guan a high hat when he came up.
But he doesn't count as boasting about Yueguan.
Because "Search" was originally a script directed and acted by Chen Kaige.
Yue Guan didn't change much, after all, he didn't intend to act.
Therefore, Chen Kaige's behavior is tantamount to praising himself, which is not a loss.
From Chen Kaige's enthusiasm, Yue Guan noticed something was wrong: "Director Chen, you don't want to take it, right?"
"I do, I definitely do." Chen Kaige waved his hand: "Your Yue Guan's script is currently unavailable in the industry even if you are queuing up. It is an honor for me to let me film your script. Of course I want to take it. .”
"Director Chen, you are exaggerating."
The more exaggerated Chen Kaige was, the more Yue Guan felt that he might be in trouble.
And so it is.
Chen Hong clarified Yue Guan's doubts: "Yue Guan, our old Chen really likes the script of "Search". He also believes that this script will definitely be good when it is filmed, whether it is box office or word of mouth, but Lao Chen has not had time recently. .”
Do not have time
Yue Guan looked at Chen Kaige.
Chen Kaige let out a long sigh: "Yue Guan, didn't I send you a script before?"
""The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"? Haven't you found the actor yet?" Yue Guan was a little surprised.
Chen Kaige wanted him to play the little Taoist priest, but Yue Guan didn't take the role. Later, Yue Guan heard that Chen Kaige continued to look for actors in the industry.
The crew of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" has not officially started filming yet.
Otherwise, Yue Guan would not have thought of giving "Search" to Chen Kaige.
Chen Kaige patted his thigh: "The day before I received your script, I had just signed Baoqiang, and the crew of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" was officially launched."
Yue Guan: "..."
He really didn't know this.
He won't always pay attention to Chen Kaige's progress, and he has been busy these two days.
"What a coincidence?"
"It's such a coincidence that I feel very uncomfortable right now." Chen Kaige felt really uncomfortable: "The actors' contracts have schedules, so I really can't push it forward. And I have to explain to the investors, so I really can't spare the time for the time being."
He himself resists being an actor.
In her previous life, Yang Mi offended Chen Kaige and his wife by cheating on the scene while filming "Search", and was directly banned by Chen Hong's director's wife team.
Later, Damimi moved closer to the Hong Kong circle, and the film resources were so abundant, which had a lot to do with offending Chen Kaige and his wife.
Since Chen Kaige is so resistant to actors being involved in scenes, he himself will not be involved in scenes easily.
Otherwise, his image will be lost if word spreads.
But Chen Kaige really likes the script "Search".
In addition, this script was written by Yue Guan.
Chen Kaige knew without thinking that the box office would definitely be the same.
He now needs a movie that makes money at the box office to prove his status.
Yue Guan was also a little pity.
The movie "Search" in his previous life was done well by Chen Kaige, so by handing this project over to him, Yue Guan basically didn't need to worry about the follow-up.
If Chen Kaige didn't answer, he would have to give him something extra.
"It seems that Director Chen and I are really destined to have no connection." Yue Guan sighed.
Chen Kaige and his wife looked at each other, and Chen Hong took the initiative to speak: "Yue Guan, are you in a hurry?"
Yue Guan blinked.
He wasn't in a hurry.
Having just captured Mo Xiangwan, it would be too scumbag to put Mo Xiangwan and Qin Lan together now.
Yue Guan is a man who understands women's hearts very well and knows the importance of patience.
This kind of thing may be better if it is slowed down.
However, this does not mean that he has to wait for Chen Kaige.
When he presented the script to Chen Kaige, it was equivalent to releasing goodwill. Chen Kaige's rejection was his business.
Yue Guan specially waited for him to finish filming "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", which was too much.
It’s not like others can’t be photographed.
For example, Zhang Yimou.
Yue Guan estimated that if he opened his mouth, the Imperial Master would most likely consider taking the photo.
Giving "Search" to the National Master will not necessarily produce a worse result than giving it to Chen Kaige, but it is just a bit more risky. After all, Yue Guan has read Chen Kaige's answers but not the National Master's.
Yue Guan didn't speak in a hurry, which meant that he was not in a hurry. Chen Kaige and Chen Hong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Don't worry, we can talk.
They were worried that Yue Guan was in a hurry.
Yue Guan took the initiative to extend an olive branch to them, and they were very surprised. Chen Kaige has very strong connections in the industry, but most of them are from the older generation and have little contact with Yue Guan.
He himself could feel that his time was gradually passing.
If he can cooperate with Yue Guan, he may be able to rejuvenate his career. Even if he can't, he can at least struggle a few more times and try to improve his status in film history.
So Chen Kaige really didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Yue Guan, I will film "The Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" as soon as possible. You wait for me for half a year. After half a year, I will film the script "Mr. Taoist Priest" well."
Half a year…
Enough for Wang Jing to make several movies.
But for Chen Kaige, half a year is really short.
In his previous life, Chen Kaige spent a total of 213 days filming "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain".
Now Chen Kaige has been opening his mouth for half a year, and he is sincere.
But it's not enough.
Yue Guan looked at Chen Kaige and Chen Hong quietly.
If the filming is normal, he will come up with the script and Chen Kaige will be the director. This is a normal business cooperation. Even so, Chen Kaige still owes Yue Guan a favor. After all, Yue Guan's script will be filmed by anyone.
But now, Chen Kaige asked Yue Guan's script to wait for him for half a year.
This face is too great.
If Chen Kaige cannot provide corresponding compensation, it will be very inappropriate.
Because there is no need for Yue Guan to give him this face.
Kai Ye is a showman. Although he is very self-centered when making movies, he does not put on airs in front of Yue Guan. He himself knows that this request is over the limit, and his friendship with Yue Guan is not that good.
Therefore, Chen Kaige did not hide it and directly expressed his sincerity: "I am the chairman of the jury for next year's Golden Dragon Award."
Yue Guan's eyes lit up.
Mr. Kai is Mr. Kai.
The Golden Dragon Award is the highest award for Chinese-language films. Winning the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor is basically every Chinese actor’s dream.
There are very few people who can decide who will win the Golden Dragon Award.
The chairman of the jury every year is, of course, one of these people.
"Yue Guan, "Search" will be filmed next year. I will direct it and you will act in it. Then we will compete for next year's Golden Dragon Award. I will give up all other awards to keep a Golden Dragon Award Best Actor. No one can find fault with it."
Chen Kaige made a good calculation.
The cooperation between Wang Jing and Yue Guan can set three box office records in a row.
He doesn't seek to break records when cooperating with Yue Guan. He will be satisfied with a box office of 7 to 8 billion.
Of course, he also knew that the script of "Search" was not friendly to male actors, and Yue Guan probably disliked it.
Therefore, he released this bargaining chip.
It has to be said that Yue Guanyin was moved.
He had no interest in the leading actor in "Searching."
But I am really interested in the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor.
"Director Chen, let me think about it."
