The next day.
Miracle Company.
Yue Guan and Zhang Yimou have basically agreed on the details of Zhang Yimou's directing of the "Xian Qin" series.
Generally speaking, it is the director Zhang Yimou, and it is Zhang Yimou who has the final say.
But when Yue Guan and Zhang Yimou disagree, Yue Guan's opinion shall prevail.
Zhang Yimou had no objection to this.
At least on the surface, Yue Guan had done enough for him, and he had no objections.
Moreover, Yue Guan also has a good reputation in this regard.
Wu Ershan's reputation is not as big as him, but when filming the "Feng Shen" series, there was never any news that Yue Guan disrespected Wu Ershan and bossed around the crew.
Yue Guan still pays great attention to his reputation and image.
Therefore, in the director circle, Yue Guan is actually a very good partner to work with:
The acting skills are good, the money is generous, and the requirements are few.
These days, it is actually not easy to find a sponsor who is so easy to talk to.
When filming "The Great Wall", Zhang Yimou was much more aggrieved than he is now, and he couldn't bear it the same way.
Compared with the investors behind "The Great Wall", Yue Guan's weight is now higher than that of the investors behind "The Great Wall".
Even in Hollywood, the "Xian Qin" series is a top-notch production, at least one level higher than "The Great Wall". Giving Zhang Yimou such treatment is not unfair to him, and it even gives him a lot of face.
Zhang Yimou himself knew this.
After finalizing the cooperation, Zhang Yimou laughed: "I guess the other big directors now will definitely say that I am so lucky that my teeth will almost fall out."
Zhang Yimou really guessed it right.
Mo Xiangwan took a photo of Yue Guan and Zhang Yimou shaking hands, and then posted it on his scarf with the text:
The director and starring actors of the Xian Qin series met for the first time, and everyone gave us lots of advice.
In less than half an hour, this scarf became a hot search topic.
Fans of Yue Guan and netizens who were looking forward to Xian Qin came to like it one after another:
"Sister Wan, please increase your efforts. We want to see more news in this regard."
"The handshake of the century, the anticipation for "Xian Qin" is already full."
"Give the National Master a reliable script, add Yue Guan, and invest hundreds of millions, and I simply can't imagine what kind of scenes can be produced."
"I want to travel back to the day when "Xian Qin" was released."
Netizens were naturally very excited.
But those big directors all had a mental breakdown.
Chen Kaige's house, Chen Kaige didn't eat anything all day.
"Old Chen, you can eat some." Chen Hong advised.
Chen Kaige waved his hand: "I have no appetite. Why is this Zhang Yimou so lucky? A movie like "Xian Qin" that he obviously can win unexpectedly fell on his head. I can also make this kind of movie well." ah."
Lao Chen was heartbroken.
The little steel cannon felt even worse than him.
"If the opportunity to direct "Xian Qin" fell to me, I would be able to make a comeback immediately, and it turned out to be Zhang Yimou again."
Xiaogangpao was so hateful: "Zhang Yimou must have been sent by God to deliberately oppose me."
Xu Fan: "..."
She didn't dare to say, she didn't dare to ask.
She only dared to mutter in her heart: "You made "The Night Banquet" into a thunderstorm. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to let you direct "Xian Qin"."
Compared with the envy, jealousy and hatred of Xiaogangpao and Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen's mentality is relatively healthy.
After he learned the news, his initial reaction was similar to that of Xiaogang Pao and Chen Kaige.
I was envious and jealous of Zhang Yimou's shitty luck, and thought I could have sex with him.
However, Jiang Wen quickly adjusted his mentality.
If labor and capital are not available, labor and capital will do.
"It's just a "Xian Qin". It's still unclear how it will turn out. There are so many movies that have been hyped before they are released in theaters. We have to watch them after they are released to see what they will be like in the end." Jiang Wen pretended. Disdainful.
As Jiang Wen's wife, Zhou Yun could tell that Jiang Wen was duplicity.
But since Jiang Wen said this, she also chose to cooperate.
"That's true. Zhang Yimou has regained a bit of reputation with "Shadow", and he has tried several times before. In my opinion, Yue Guan may have found the wrong director." Zhou Yun said.
"Yue Guan also has no vision. He relied on luck to reach this point. He thought he could even lead Zhang Yimou." Jiang Wen said domineeringly: "I don't care if you don't ask me to take pictures. It just happens to be what I want to take. Movie. I have already written the script for "The Righteous One", so I will use this to put it on the agenda."
"One Step Away", as the sequel to "Let the Bullets Fly", was obviously disappointing both in terms of box office and reputation.
However, Jiang Wen felt that this was nothing to worry about.
Just because the audience can't understand his movies doesn't mean that his movies are not well made.
Of course, he also wants to make money.
So this time he was going to stand and make money.
"The Righteous One" has a consistent worldview with "One Step Away" and "Let the Bullets Fly", a modern trilogy.
Jiang Wen wants to replicate the box office miracle of "Let the Bullets Fly" that he created.
"Calculating the time, "Immortal Qin" should also be the first one to be released next year. Then I will use "The Evil Cannot Suppress the Good" to kill "Immortal Qin" and let Yue Guan and Zhang Yimou have a look. In terms of being able to fight, they are in front of me. They are still younger brothers.”
Director Jiang was as domineering as ever.
Zhou Yun is used to it.
"By the way, did Yue Guan publicly say that he looked down upon that hard-working classmate from Taicheng?" Jiang Wen suddenly remembered something.
Zhou Yun had also seen the news in this area and said hesitantly: "It shouldn't be the case. I feel like he just said it casually and was targeted by the "Art of Life" program team."
"Don't worry about it, it's okay as he said. Let's do this, the leading actor will give him one." Jiang Wen said.
Zhou Yun was shocked: "No more Ge You?"
Both "Let the Bullets Fly" and "One Step Away" have Ge You. There are not many actors who can show their own style when paired with Jiang Wen. Back then, Yu Yudan acted in "Guan Yunchang", but he was completely ignored by Jiang Wen's Cao Cao. Getting up and fighting was even worse than when the international chapter beat Tony Leung in "The Grandmaster". When Donnie Yen was interviewed, he bluntly said that he regretted taking that movie.
So acting opposite Jiang Wen was really stressful.
Zhou Yun didn't expect that the leading actor in Jiang Wen's new drama would be a classmate named Gongli.
"Although he has published a lot of drafts as an actor, he is not an actor. Do you want to think about it again?"
Jiang Wen said it was not necessary: "Lao Mouzi can turn a female star who has never acted into a movie into a Mou girl and become a movie queen. I, Jiang, want to cultivate an actor with good acting skills. Can't we do it?" "
Jiang Wen had already said this, and Zhou Yun could not persuade him any more.
The news that Zhang Yimou is directing the "Xian Qin" trilogy has indeed stimulated many people.
When Yue Guan learned that Jiang Wen was going to shoot "The Evil One", Chen Kaige was going to shoot "The Legend of the Demon Cat", and they were all preparing to shoot "The Immortal Qin", Yue Guan was confused.
"Did these two people go to Liang Jingru's concert?"
"Why are there still people rushing to kill someone?"
