I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 223 Suspension of Development

Chapter 223 Suspension of Development
The next day, while major media were still reporting that "Parasite" won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and some small media reported that Du Chun and others said that Wan Qingshan slandered historical figures and deliberately catered to Wan Qingshan and "Huo Qubing" "The crew has returned to China.

The Oscars didn't start until the end of February, and Wan Qingshan knew that he couldn't win the individual award, so he left the outpost alone and let Li Meijing take Zhou Xun and the others there.

As for "Huo Qubing", Wan Qingshan is too lazy to take care of it. It is impossible to win the award without spending money. He cannot waste time and take "Huo Qubing" to participate in the outpost.

Zeng Li was too lazy to go, as her drama troupe had a performance.

Duan Yihong wanted to go, but Wan Qingshan and Zeng Li didn't go, so he couldn't say anything, so he could only follow back.

Having just won the Golden Globe Award, especially since both films are likely to be nominated for the next Oscar, the popularity is as high as the sky. During this period, as long as there is entertainment news, it is almost all about Wanqing Mountain.

It was hot, so this group of reporters with great powers blocked Wanqingshan at the airport again.

Being blocked at the airport again, Wan Qingshan had no choice but to accept the interview in another place.

He didn't want to show up the next day and cause news that passengers were affected and didn't catch the plane because of him.

"Director Wan, congratulations on winning the Golden Globe. However, you were shortlisted for five awards. The most popular film "Huo Qubing" failed to win any. Do you feel regretful?"

"I have no regrets. I am very satisfied to be shortlisted. And you said that the one with the highest voice is "Return to Youth" which has the same voice."

"Director Wan, does "Huo Qubing" have a good chance of being nominated for an Oscar?"

“It’s huge, every movie has a high chance of being shortlisted, 50% chance.

This is the same as whether you can be promoted from reporter to editor in the future. There is no third way between whether you can or cannot. "

Wan Qingshan's ridiculous words made many people couldn't help but laugh.

"Director Wan, Du Chun, Huaizhi, Li Chen and others said that the two movies you made were only shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award because you deliberately catered to them. Director Wan, what do you have to say about this?"

"I don't have much to say. I can only say that I will have to wait until they follow the catering method and make a movie that is nominated for the Golden Globe Awards."

After dealing with the reporters, Wan Qingshan separated from Zeng Li and Duan Yihong.

Wan Qingshan didn't go home. He made a phone call and went straight to Qingshan Media Company.

In Qingshan Media Company, after Wan Qingshan received the congratulations from everyone in the company, he entered the office with Zhang Zhao.

"How's it going? Have you found out?"

"Director Wan, I found out that these people have either been in contact with Yang Shoucheng or the others before, or have met with Chai Zhiping and the others."

Wan Qingshan suddenly frowned. Yang Shoucheng and the others could understand, but Chai Zhiping and the others?
After thinking for a moment, Wan Qingshan whispered, "What is the attitude of the industry now?"

"We are all waiting and watching. I think Wang Zhongjun and the others have found out who did it, and are waiting to see your reaction, Director Wan."

"In this way, if you help me spread the word to the industry, I might not go to Hollywood."

Wan Qingshan knew that going to Hollywood would be good for Wang Zhongjun and others.

He wanted to see if Wang Zhongjun and others would join forces to deal with these people in order to let him go to Hollywood.

If Wang Zhongjun and others take action together, even if Yang Shoucheng, Chai Zhiping and others join forces and want to resist, the price they will pay will be extremely high!
The energy of people like Wang Zhongjun is much greater than what appears on the surface. Liu Yifei acted in "The King of Kung Fu" last year, but after the performance, she originally agreed to sign with Huayi, but she let Huayi go.

Wang Zhongjun was so angry that he didn't care about Liu Yifei's diplomat father or Chen Jinfei, and directly told the circle that Liu Yifei would not be able to stay in the film and television industry.

Although she didn't succeed, Liu Yifei didn't have any resources for a while. It wasn't until some time ago that she was helped by Jiang Zhiqiang for some reason, and she had some resources.

Although Yang Shoucheng's decline accelerated after "Painted Skin" and that meeting, there is still some residual light, which is enough for Liu Yifei to maintain her exposure.

But Jiang Zhiqiang is very easygoing. Otherwise, who would risk a big price to protect Liu Yifei alone?

Wang Zhongjun alone has so much energy, and with Wu Kebo and others taking action together, Yang Shoucheng and Chai Zhiping will have to pay a huge price if they want to survive.

But it just depends on how much Wang Zhongjun and the others are willing to pay to let him go to Hollywood.

But before Wan Qingshan could wait to see how much Wang Zhongjun and the others would pay, Zhang Zhao announced the news in the circle. The next day, when Wan Qingshan was about to go to the airport to fly back to Shenzhen, he received a call from Han Sanping and asked for another meeting!
Wan Qingshan wanted to hide. He thought that this meeting might be about him.

But before Wan Qingshan could think of an excuse, Han Sanping said on the phone that Tang Jianli was presiding over the meeting.

Tang Jianli came forward, and Wan Qingshan knew that he could not escape, so he stayed in the capital for one night and went to attend the meeting the next morning.

This time Wan Qingshan arrived a little early. When he entered the conference room, there were only two people, Wang Zhongjun and Wu Kebo.

Since Wu Kebo moved to develop theaters, the relationship between the two immediately changed from enemies to good friends. Although I don't know how it happened in reality, it was like this on the surface.

When Wan Qingshan came in, the two were chatting with smiles on their faces.

"Director Wan, congratulations, congratulations on winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film."

"Director Wan, congratulations!"

After the two of them saw Wan Qingshan, they immediately smiled and congratulated him.

Wan Qingshan smiled and sat down next to the two of them.

"Director Wan, I heard that you plan to go to Hollywood?"

As soon as Wan Qingshan sat down, Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but ask.

What Zhang Zhao said yesterday spread throughout the industry in less than an hour. Wang Zhongjun, who had always hoped that Wan Qingshan would go to Hollywood, immediately understood what Wan Qingshan was thinking after hearing this.

He didn't take action immediately because he was worried about being taken advantage of by Wan Qingshan.

Now that he saw Wan Qingshan, he couldn't help but test it out.

Wan Qingshan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, you should know that all six major Hollywood film and television companies have invited me."

"You know, I was still thinking at the time, how could you, Wan Dao, and others be able to let the six major Hollywood companies compete for it."

"Mr. Wang, I won't hide it from you. A company in Hollywood has offered me a share of the global box office and the right to invest. Tell me, with such good conditions, how could I not go?"

Wan Qingshan's words were not evaded. Wu Kebo on the side also heard them. Like Wang Zhongjun, he had a shocked expression on his face.

Based on the results of "Huo Qubing" and "Parasite", it was normal for Wan Qingshan to get a share of the box office like big Hollywood directors and stars, but they never expected investment rights.

With investment rights, other interests aside, Wan Qingshan's movies will be under his own control. As for the actors, Wan Qingshan will have the decision-making power.

Hollywood movies can decide the actors!
After Wang Zhongjun and Wu Kebo were shocked, they thought about how to cooperate with Wan Qingshan to give their artists the opportunity to star in Wan Qingshan's Hollywood movies.

When the two of them thought about it, they immediately thought that Du Chun and the others should use them to show their goodwill to Wan Qingshan first, and then they can discuss cooperation.

Just when the two of them were about to speak about Du Chun and the others, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Zhang Weiping and Jia Hui came.

Wang Zhongjun and Wu Kebo immediately swallowed their words and then looked at each other.

At this moment, the two of them had a clear understanding of each other. When they looked at each other, they instantly understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

"Don't tell anyone, let's join forces."

"Don't reveal it, let's join forces!"

After the two of them smiled dumbly, they kept chatting with Wan Qingshan.

After talking about "Detective Chinatown", we talked about "The Wind", and then "The Great Tang Dynasty".

In short, they cannot let others have the opportunity to chat with Wan Qingshan. Both of them are afraid that Wan Qingshan will reveal that he has investment rights in Hollywood when chatting with others.

Once this kind of thing is said out, the rest of the people will definitely compete, and it will become more difficult for them to cooperate with Wan Qingshan.

The two of them kept pulling Wan Qingshan and talking non-stop, which made people who came in behind feel strange.

When did the relationship between these three people become so good? It shouldn't be.

Not to mention Wu Kebo, but Wan Qingshan and Wang Zhongjun. Although the two are cooperating now, it is for the purpose of making money.

But the relationship between the two is definitely not good in private. After Wan Qingshan won the Venice Golden Lion Award, he was teased, and it has slowly spread in the past two years.

In addition, Wan Qingshan previously targeted Feng Xiaogang's movies and also targeted Feng Xiaogang's movies online.

With this feud in mind, the private relationship between Wan Qingshan and Wang Zhongjun cannot possibly be good!

Amid everyone's confusion, Wang Zhongjun and Wu Kebo kept chatting with Wan Qingshan until Yang Shoucheng and Chai Zhiping came in. The conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Wan Qingshan.

They also found out who was behind Du Chun and the others.

Now it depends on how Wan Qingshan will act.

Wan Qingshan looked at Chai Zhiping and the others expressionlessly, then withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest.

When everyone saw this, they felt a little disappointed. If there was a big fuss in Wanqing Mountain, there would be something good to watch.

Here, Yang Shoucheng and Chai Zhiping had just sat down when Tang Jian walked in accompanied by Wang Dahua from Han Sanping.

Tang Jianli presided over the news. Except for Han Sanping who revealed it to Wan Qingshan, no one else knew about it.Wang Zhongjun and others were surprised when they saw Tang Jianli, and then secretly glanced at Wanqingshan. The relationship between Tang Jianli and Wanqingshan was not ordinary. Tang Jianli had stood up for Wanqingshan before.

Now that Tang Jian was established, was it for Wanqingshan?

Chai Zhiping and the others did not know Tang Jianli, but they knew Wang Dahua. When they saw Wang Dahua standing behind Tang Jianli, they knew that Tang Jianli was extraordinary, and they became alert. They were afraid that something big was going to happen at this meeting.

After the people outside closed the door, Tang Jianli glanced at everyone, then sat down and said,
"Just a little this time, the industry cannot be disrupted."

Can't be messed up!
Everyone's pupils shrank slightly, thinking of Chai Zhiping and the others' attack on Wanqingshan!
At this time, Tang Jianli looked at Chai Zhiping and the others.

"The industry is booming now. If someone wants to destroy the industry, no matter who they are, they will not agree!"

Wang Zhongjun and others looked shocked. If Tang Jianli dared to say such words, it meant...
It would be understandable if it was just towards Yang Shoucheng and the others, but it would be unimaginable to have the same attitude towards Chai Zhiping and the others.
Yang Shoucheng and Chai Zhiping suddenly turned dark. Tang Jianli's words were threatening them.

Chai Zhiping, who is known as the godmother of idol dramas, was immediately furious and said with a dark face, "We are just developing in response to cooperation. If we are not welcome, we don't have to come."

“Cooperation is welcome, but when you come, you have to abide by it.

If you can't accept it, then please walk out of this door now. "

Tang Jianli's calm tone and sharp eyes made Chai Zhiping afraid to answer. She was afraid that if she did answer, she would be kicked away.

If you want to make money, you can’t leave!

Tang Jianshe saw that Chai Zhiping did not dare to speak, so he glanced at the others one by one.

"Cooperation, the most important thing is the word cooperation. If the word cooperation cannot be highlighted, it will be meaningless."

Yang Shoucheng and others' faces twitched, but they did not dare to answer.

Then, Tang Jianli looked at Zeng Maojun, Liu Rong and other theater people.

"In the future, we are not allowed to use the cut-off rate to compete with film production companies."

Zeng Maojun and others were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that the matter that was blocked by Wan Qingshan last time would be mentioned again this time.

Zeng Maojun was about to say that theater life was hard, but before he spoke, he glanced at Wanqing Mountain.

Seeing that Wan Qingshan didn't say a word, he swallowed the words on his lips.

Tang Jianli then looked at Wanqing Mountain.

"Director Wan, it's time for you to stop doing anything about Director Chen's movies and what happened during this period.

You can no longer use theaters as a deterrent in the future. "

Everyone immediately looked at Wanqingshan to see if Wanqingshan, who had always dared to cause trouble, would obey Tang Jianli.

"No problem. As soon as the meeting is over, I will ask Qingshan Cinema to stop the film targeting Director Chen, and I will also ask Mr. Zhang to convey to the industry that what happened before was a misunderstanding."

When a trace of disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes, Wan Qingshan's voice continued to sound.

"But what if what happened before happens again next time? I can't just be a wooden dummy and let people keep hitting me without fighting back."

Tang Jianshe frowned slightly and said, "If something like before happens again, then the other party can withdraw from the industry."

Wan Qingshan was not satisfied with this answer, and he was beaten again and again.

If someone really knocked him down with a stick, then Tang Jianshe's words would be like saying nothing. It is impossible to ask the other party to withdraw because of a person who has already fallen down.

Very dissatisfied, but Wan Qingshan couldn't say anything else. Tang Jianli was not someone like Tian Jin.

Then Tang Jianli looked at Zeng Maojun and others, "I understand your suffering, so it will be helpful in the future."

Wan Qingshan obeyed, and Zeng Maojun and the others did not dare to refute.

Then the meeting ended in just ten minutes.

After the meeting, Wang Zhongjun and Wu Kebo wanted to find a place with Wan Qingshan to talk about cooperation together.

But before they could speak, Wan Qingshan was left behind, this time by Tang Jianli.

In Han Sanping's office, after Han Sanping left, Tang Jianshe looked up and down Wanqingshan and said with a smile, "Are you dissatisfied with what I said at the meeting?"

"No, no, you have your considerations, and I will implement them resolutely."

"Haha, compared to previous years, you have become more sophisticated now. Let me tell you, this decision is for your own good."

Then, Tang Jianli restrained his smile and whispered, "

“You have been too domineering in your work in the past two years, and your development has been too fast, which led some people to say that in a few years, I am afraid you will have a monopoly.

No one wants to see you monopolizing the film and television industry.

If that happens, even if Uncle Feng helps you, you won't be able to survive.

No matter who comes forward, it won't work. Do you understand? "

Tang Jianli's words made Wan Qingshan's heart tremble, and he nodded immediately, "I understand, I understand, I will keep a low profile in the future."

Tang Jianli nodded slightly, "Also, if the movie script is rejected in the future, you can communicate with Tian Jin and others more and change some inappropriate places. Don't just send it abroad and treat it as a foreign movie.

Your film "Parasite" this time made film history for Korean films. No one said they were unhappy, but they just felt it was a pity.

It's just a pity once, but if it happens a second time, some people will be bored and think you have ulterior motives, understand? "

Wan Qingshan curled his lips in his heart and discussed the script. It must be that this won't work and that won't work either.

He didn't agree in his heart, but Wan Qingshan nodded honestly.

What Tang Jianli said just now really scared him. Some people actually thought that he would monopolize the film and television industry.

Seeing that Wan Qingshan was so honest, Tang Jianli smiled dumbly and said, "Have you decided to go to the United States for development?"

"Well, after the New Year, I will go there to attend the Oscars, and then I will prepare a new movie there."

Wan Qingshan originally didn't want to prepare a new movie in Hollywood so early. He also wanted to stay in China and compete with Chai Zhiping and others.

But now, he has to go to Hollywood to prepare for a new movie. He plans to go back to China less often this year, make fewer appearances in front of domestic audiences, and keep a low profile.

"You are a public figure and have gone to the United States to develop, so you cannot do anything that will have a very bad impact.

You must always remember that every move you make may affect public opinion. "

Wan Qingshan's expression suddenly became strange.

He was just going to film to make money, why did he make it look like he was on a mission?

Seeing Wan Qingshan's expression, Tang Jianshe guessed what Wan Qingshan was thinking.

"There is no way, you are a public figure, and public figures can influence the people the most.

And you are not like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie. You are a descendant of the new era. In the eyes of the outside world, you are the image spokesperson here.

So don't act recklessly like Zhang Ziyi, there are some things you can't do. "

Wan Qingshan was very helpless. He finally understood what it means that when you reach a certain level, you will be put up for a fight.

Seeing Wan Qingshan nod, Tang Jianli continued, "You haven't increased the schedule yet. Someone will contact you tomorrow to help you get it done."

Wan Qingshan opened his mouth and felt that his balls hurt. He went to Hollywood. How did he end up like this?

But seeing Tang Jianli's non-negotiable expression, Wan Qingshan could only nod again.

After the business was finished, Tang Jianli didn't say much more, and then let Wan Qingshan leave after chatting for a few words.

After leaving the gate of China Film Group Corporation, Wan Qingshan immediately called Ye Xuan.

"Mr. Ye, stop operating on Chen Kexin, and suspend the expansion of Qingshan Cinemas. Just run the current theaters well."

"Director Wan, this is an opportunity for theaters to develop rapidly. This..." Ye Xuan said in shock.
"I have other considerations, just pause."

After waiting for a while on the phone, Ye Xuan's voice came, "Yes!"

Then, Wan Qingshan called Zhang Zhao again and asked Zhang Zhao to keep a low profile for a while.

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan got into the car and was about to ask Duan Tong to drive him to the hotel when his cell phone rang.

After answering the phone, he hung up after saying a few words, and then Wan Qingshan asked Duan Tong to transfer.
