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

Chapter 229: Fishing!
"Qingshan, Qingshan, why can't you bear it? You are thirty this year, why are you still so angry?"

At the stairs, Han Sanping caught up with Wan Qingshan, and then pulled Wan Qingshan into a small conference room nearby.

"Director Han, I have been very patient, but he has forced me to do this. If I can still bear it, will the next step require me to give up the company?"

Wan Qingshan's eyes were filled with anger. He never imagined that he would be like this now.

"Qingshan, you can't say such things!"

After Han Sanping finished speaking, he didn't know what to say. This attitude was unacceptable to anyone.

He could only sigh, "Oh, even now..."

Han Sanping paused for a moment and said helplessly, "Forget it, forget it, let's go.

You should go to Hollywood to film. Don't come back during this period. Let's see if this matter can just go away. "

Wan Qingshan didn't say anything, just opened the door and went out.

After leaving China Film and Television, Wan Qingshan did not immediately go abroad or fly to Shenzhen as Han Sanping said. He contacted Li Jingqing.

At noon, Wan Qingshan and Li Jingqing met in the small restaurant.

"Director Wan, you are such a busy man and you are not filming in Hollywood. Why did you come back to China and find me?" Li Jingqing said with a smile.

"Mr. Li, I have something to ask you. It's related to the trend in the film and television industry. I wonder if it's convenient for you to tell me."

Seeing that Wan Qingshan's expression was not very good, and adding these words, Li Jingqing immediately guessed what Wan Qingshan wanted to ask.

Li Jingqing thought for a few seconds and then said with a smile, "Director Wan, you could give me a clear path before, even though I have already returned the favor. As for myself, I have always told myself that I don't owe you anything.

But people have to be conscientious. Although I keep telling myself that I don't owe you anything, I always remember your love in my heart.

So I can tell you this, but you have to pay for this meal. "

"Of course I'll invite you, Mr. Li, let's eat first and chat while we eat later."

After the food was served and after only a few bites, Li Jingqing took the initiative to talk about what Wan Qingshan wanted to ask.

"Director Wan, I know what you want to ask, I'll tell you directly.

As the economy develops, the temptation becomes greater and greater. In the past, it was just us juniors, but now it is different. We have to do it ourselves.

Compared with other industries, the film and television industry has the smallest risks.

The film and television industry only affects a group of people, while other industries affect too many people.

As for Wang Zhongjun and others, their connections were complicated and it was difficult for them to make a move for a while.

But it just so happened that Chai Zhiping and the others wanted to develop and were willing to use money to pave the way.

Under the attack of money, he naturally helped. "

Wan Qingshan frowned and asked in a low voice, "If we do this, the rest of us won't care?"

Li Jingqing looked at Wan Qingshan in surprise and said in surprise, "Director Wan, you can't be so naive, who cares about this kind of thing?

Since ancient times, this kind of thing has been impossible to prevent. "

Wan Qingshan was a little embarrassed. As soon as he said those very innocent words, he thought that he had said the wrong thing.

"Wan Dao, we are all normal people. As long as there are enough temptations, no one can resist them. This has been the case since ancient times."

Li Jingqing picked up a piece of braised pork and said while chewing it, "Director Wan, actually you don't have to worry at all.

With your relationship, no one dares to take advantage of you. The most they can do is test you.

After all, they can't afford to offend the people behind you. If you really force yourself, they will never get any favors from you. "

Wan Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. If this was the case, then he wouldn't have to worry about it.

At this time, Li Jingqing put down his chopsticks and whispered solemnly, "But, Director Wan, you should pay attention.

Some time ago, my old man told me that you can make money, but you must not make it big.

The old man also told me about you, saying that you are in danger now, and if you are not careful, all your careers will collapse.

Your influence in the film and television industry is too great. No matter what kind of person you are, people will think you are a threat.

No matter who it is, they will not allow any industry to be dominated by one company.

Of course, China Film Film and Television does not count, they are different.

As for you, Director Wan, you are still an international director. Many methods cannot be used. If you use them, the impact will be great.

But there is always a way, after all, they are not on the same level at all, so, Wan Dao, you have to pay attention. "

Although Wan Qingshan had guessed it before, Li Jingqing's words completely confirmed his guess, so Wan Qingshan was very grateful to Li Jingqing.

"Mr. Li, thank you!"

Seeing that Wan Qingshan's expression was very sincere, Li Jingqing smiled dumbly.

"Director Wan, you got these words in exchange for this meal, so there is no need to thank you."

Wan Qingshan smiled and did not continue talking on this topic. He changed the subject and asked,
"Mr. Li, since Wang Zhongjun and others are so complex and so biased, it will affect their interests. Isn't it possible that no one will take action?"

"Why should we take action? No matter whether the previous film and television projects starred actors such as Andy Lau and Xie Tingfeng, or now, well, in fact, now, it's okay. People like Huang Xiaoming can still be the leading actors in blockbusters.

In short, no matter how things change, they still provide most of the investment in film and television projects, so naturally most of the profits will belong to them.

Whether they control it themselves or cooperate, in the final analysis, there is no big loss to them.

The only ones who suffer losses are their artists, who are under great pressure from competition and find it difficult to climb up.

But now almost all celebrities have opened studios. Although most studios are owned by film and television companies, how much of the studio's money can be shared by the company?

It's not worth it for that little money. "

Li Jingqing suddenly thought of something. He picked up another piece of braised pork with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing and talking.

“Haha, speaking of it, I don’t know who took advantage in the end.

Chai Zhiping and others charge relatively high commissions to actors, and Wang Zhongjun and others contract artists, most of which are studio-based.

You said, which one is more attractive to artists, commission or studio? "

Before Wan Qingshan could speak, Li Jingqing smiled and said, "Some time ago, Wang Zhongjun set up a studio and poached Ruan Jingtian, which almost made Chai Zhiping and his gang angry to death.

If Wang Zhongjun does this, Wu Kebo and the others will definitely follow suit. Maybe in the future, they will all become artists in Wu Kebo's company. "

Wan Qingshan's heart suddenly thought, in this case, Chai Zhiping and the others would definitely use resources to appease them, and the artists would be able to have both sides, and the scene of the 'Heavenly Banquet' occupying a large amount of film and television resources would appear in advance.

And now Huang Xiaoming and the others, in the final analysis, have relied on the period after the box office hit of "Painted Skin" last year to develop. Overall, they are not much better than this time in the original life.

But for a moment, Wan Qingshan was stunned and laughed at himself in his heart.

'What's going on? How did I become like Jiang Zhiqiang said? It's none of my business to worry about this. '

At this time, Li Jingqing's behavior became a bit mysterious.

He looked at the door, stretched his head slightly, and whispered,

"Director Wan, some time ago, some of my buddies and I were chatting about the changes in the film and television industry, and one of the buddies asked if he did this on purpose.

You see, if you do this, Wang Zhongjun and the others will poach people.

Wang Zhongjun and others have such good conditions for their artists. As long as people are not stupid, they will know which choice is more beneficial to them.

I'm afraid that before long, many people will be poached by Wang Zhongjun and others like Ruan Jingtian.

Celebrities can have a great influence on the people. "

Li Jingqing retracted his forward tilted head, took another bite, and said with a smile, "Of course, my buddy is just guessing, but I think it's very possible.

After all, money is money, but things have to be done well. If you only know how to make money but don't know how to do things, it's impossible to go up.

If this thing is done, haha, it will play a big role in the overall policy. "

Wan Qingshan's pupils shrank slightly. If this is the case, then this trick seems to be useless. In his original life, he praised the 'Heavenly Banquet', but in the end it was not like that. It was a lot. "Haha, if that's true, that would be awesome." Wan Qingshan praised against his will.

"Whether it's great or not, it's not our turn to worry about it. Director Wan, if you can't get used to the current situation in the film and television industry, just feel free to film in the United States.

Going back to China less often and keeping a low profile will also reduce your influence in the industry and the audience, which is of great benefit to you. "

"Mr. Li, thank you for your advice. I will consider it carefully."

Afterwards, the two started chatting about everything, but neither Wan Qingshan nor Li Jingqing deliberately talked about their respective film and television projects.

The two had previously failed to reach an agreement on cooperation, so they knew that they had different opinions on official matters.

The relationship between the two is good now, but Wan Qingshan doesn't want Li Jingqing to invest in his film and television projects, and Li Jingqing doesn't want to use the favor just now to ask Wan Qingshan to come up with film and television projects for him to invest in.

After finishing the meal, Wan Qingshan went directly to Qingshan Company and had a detailed chat with Li Yancheng for a while. Knowing that "囧囧" was being filmed and that the company had been fine recently, Wan Qingshan handed over Qingshan Company to Li Yancheng for management.
Afterwards, Wan Qingshan went to the airport and flew to Shenzhen.

After spending one day in Shenzhen, I immediately flew to Los Angeles.

Both Han Sanping and Li Jingqing advised him to go back to China less often, and Wan Qingshan had also planned to go back less often.

This incident made him even more vigilant. He planned to not return to China and stay away from the domestic film and television industry for a year after this incident, except for family matters. That's why he asked Li Yancheng to manage Qingshan Film and Television. company.

After flying back to the United States, Wan Qingshan began to prepare for "Fire" again.But after two days of busy work, Zhang Zhao called.

"Director Wan, um, um, someone asked me to ask you, are you still short of actors for your movie?"

Wan Qingshan frowned, but his tone was smiling, "Mr. Zhang, who can actually make you come forward to ask for a role?"

Zhang Zhao's explanation voice came immediately from the phone, "Director Wan, I didn't get any benefits.

It is Mr. Zeng from Wanda Cinemas who is willing to come up with a film and television project for Qingshan Media to invest. As a condition, he wants an artist to play a role in your movie, or a supporting role. "

Wan Qingshan's mind immediately came to mind, the 'human wealth flower' who had a close relationship with Wanda.

"Mr. Zhang, what project did Zeng Maojun come up with in exchange?"

"Director Wan is a large-scale costume blockbuster with an investment of up to 5000 million."

Wan Qingshan immediately thought of "Warring States", which scared him and said quickly,

"Mr. Zhang, we at Qingshan Media should just do our best on our own projects.

Doesn't "Jingjue Ancient City" require an investment of nearly 5000 million? Now that it is involved in a large-scale production of [-] million, Qingshan Media must be under financial pressure.

I don’t have any money to spend here, and I’m still short of money for my new movie. "

After waiting for a while, Zhang Zhao's somewhat disappointed voice came from the phone, "Okay, I will reject Mr. Zeng's offer."

Wan Qingshan didn't care about Zhang Zhao's disappointment, he quickly said, "Mr. Zhang, please don't use "Jingjue Ancient City" to exchange resources with Zeng Maojun."

Wan Qingshan is afraid when he thinks of the rich and powerful flowers in the world. Except for the Hollywood movie "King Kong Skull Island", which made a lot of money, she has made a lot of money in every other movie. He is really afraid that Zhang Zhao will trade "The Ancient City" with Zeng Maojun for the "Skull Island" movie. Resources of "Warring States".

After investing heavily in "Warring States", if Zeng Maojun strongly recommended the flower of wealth and she also participated in "Jingjue Ancient City", then he would suffer a huge loss.

Wan Qingshan doesn't want to try the law that every domestic movie in which "The Rich Flower of the World" appears is a hit, and even big Hollywood IP movies may not be able to withstand it.

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment. He had just thought of exchanging resources with Zeng Maojun for "The Ancient City". After all, a 5000 million costume blockbuster was also a good project.

"Director Wan, can I ask, do you have any objections to Wanda?" Zhang Zhao, who couldn't help but be curious, asked.

Wan Qingshan was about to say no, but suddenly thought of the close relationship between Wanda and the wealthy flower.

Then we should make the relationship more serious now, lest Zhang Zhao accidentally let Jingtian star in a Qingshan Media movie.

"Mr. Zhang, if you ask that, I'll tell you directly.

My relationship with Wanda has never been good. In order to open Qingshan Cinemas, I poached a group of people from Wanda Cinemas. Do you think this relationship will be good?
I seemed familiar with Zeng Maojun before, but that was only superficial.Secretly, Wanda and I have gone through several tricks in the past few years, and we have been trying to trip each other up in private. "

Zhang Zhao was shocked by these words and ignored them for a moment. In this case, why would Zeng Maojun still want someone to star in your movie? Isn't that just giving you a slap in the face?

"I understand, I understand, Director Wan, the company will never cooperate with Wanda in the future."

Then Wan Qingshan was still worried and asked a few words again before hanging up the phone.

A week later, the two-month transformation period was over, and Liu Yifei came.

After two months of no skin care, Liu Yifei's skin still looks the same as before.

Appearance is too important for actresses, no, but for all actors.

Even if she didn't use skin care, Liu Yifei was very careful about everything from diet to sun protection to sleep in the past two months, so her skin was not affected.

Although there was no change in his skin, Wan Qingshan was very satisfied.

Because Liu Yifei's temperament has changed a lot. Although she still has a bit of that elegant and earthly temperament, it is not as strong as before.

Now Liu Yifei makes people feel friendly, more like the girl next door.

When Wan Qingshan and Liu Yifei first met, Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Director Wan!"

Although Liu Yifei's smile was too big, her teeth showed through, making her look a bit ugly.

But Wan Qingshan was very satisfied because Liu Yifei had changed and was no longer as reserved as before.

It can't be said that she has changed, it should be that she has let go. When filming the Earl promotional video, Wan Qingshan felt that she was a little girl with a little temper, but because of her image, in most cases, she suppressed her personality .

Now that I let go, that little girl next door feeling is completely released.

Wan Qingshan was very satisfied with Liu Yifei's current status, so he gave her the supporting actress role.

After receiving the script and reading it twice, Liu Yifei was dumbfounded.

"Director Wan, this script..."

"Do you think I've deceived you, Arti? It's no different from the role you played before as Little Dragon Girl. You don't need to change at all to perform well."

Liu Yifei said nothing, but her expression showed agreement with Wan Qingshan's words.

In the script, Artie always has a cold face without any fluctuations in expression, so it is normal for Liu Yifei to feel this way.

"Ati is like this in "Fire", but as long as "Fire" is successful, I will make another linkage movie with Ati as the protagonist.

At that time, it will be very difficult to play Ati. If you don’t reassure me, I won’t dare to entrust this role to you. "

A shocked expression appeared on Liu Yifei's face.

She's not stupid. Wan Qingshan thought of the movie universe when he mentioned a linkage movie. She didn't expect Wan Qingshan's heart to be so big.

After the shock, I was extremely surprised. If "Fire" is completed, then she can be the protagonist in the future.

Although she has already served as the female lead in "The King of Kung Fu", the main roles in "The King of Kung Fu" are still Cheng Long and Jet Li.

The protagonist of a Hollywood movie was Wan Qingshan's movie, and she felt like she had picked up a huge piece of pie.

She was so happy that she laughed so hard that she lost all her image of a goddess in everyone's mind.

"Director Wan, Director Wan, thank you, no, no, thank you. I will definitely perform well and will not disappoint your expectations." Liu Yifei was so excited that she couldn't speak clearly.

Wan Qingshan smiled and whispered, "The movie will start shooting in half a month, and you have to fully understand the whole character of Ati.

Although Axi does not have a line in "Fire" and does not need to show any facial expressions, you can consider adding a little expression to this character.

Let me tell you now that the script features Ati as the protagonist. Ati made her voice hundreds of years ago. She killed her parents when she was born and killed her husband on the day of her wedding, so she is regarded as an unlucky person.

Later, she was put on the fire by people from the same village who wanted to burn her to death, which made her full of hatred for the entire world. "

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment and quickly thanked her again, "Director Wan, thank you, I will get to know the character well.

Don't worry, Director Wan, I won't leak my character. "

Although he didn't care that Liu Yifei's character about Ati was leaked, Wan Qingshan still smiled with relief.

Then, Liu Yifei found a place to live in Los Angeles and concentrated on figuring out the role, while Wan Qingshan continued to work on the movie.

Until October 10th, the preliminary preparations for the film were completed, and Wan Qingshan asked the crew to notify the actors and prepare to start filming.
