China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

Director Li, did the selection of Yujiaolong not go well? Wu Yuchen asked directly.

He had recommended Zeng Li not long ago and learned that Lao Mouzi, who had just finished filming My Father and Mother, had also recommended Zhang Ziyi to Li An.

Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi, one is Li An's current financial sponsor, and the other is the nobleman who Li An won the Golden Bear. Naturally, they will not neglect the candidates they recommend.

However, Li An didn't take much fancy to these two people at first sight. On the contrary, Li Xiaoran, who had just won the Golden Horse Award, took the initiative to find them, which aroused Li An's interest. Li Xiaoran had a wild streak in Run Lola Run, which he felt could be explored. Previously, he didn't invite Li Xiaoran because he wanted to invite Shu Qi. Now that Shu Qi is gone, he naturally has to consider it carefully.

Li An shook his head, and then sighed: Yu Jiaolong is not in a hurry, it's Li Mubai, Zhou Runfa has called, and their crew is delaying it again...

What's wrong? Wu Yuchen also frowned and asked after hearing this.

Jiang Zhiqiang next to Li An explained:

The crew of Anna and the King went to Thailand to film, but Thai officials believed that they had tampered with history and damaged the image of the king and royal family, so they directly stopped the crew and banned them from filming in Thailand.

Now their crew can only temporarily change to neighboring Malaysia for filming. Everything has to be prepared again. I don’t know how long it will be delayed!

Wu Yuchen was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the crew would be expelled by the authorities. But if you think about it, it is very likely to happen. After all, Hollywood movies often intentionally or unintentionally smear and spoof some historical celebrities in other countries. They disrespect objective history and hurt the feelings of local people for the sake of art or box office.

Just like this, the crew of Anna and the King will definitely continue to postpone. Wu Yuchen didn't know if this had happened in his previous life, whether he had the butterfly effect, or how long Zhou Runfa would be delayed.

Wu Yuchen took two steps back and forth, and then asked: Director Li, what are your plans next? Are you going to wait for Brother Fa, or...

Seeing that Wu Yuchen, the big benefactor, didn't blame them, Li An and Jiang Zhiqiang were relieved.

But the two of them felt that they couldn't wait any longer. It had been more than two months since they contacted Zhou Runfa, and they still couldn't get accurate information. Who knows how long Fa Ge will be delayed in Anna and the King? And even if you wait for several months for someone to come, and just go into the filming without preparation, you still don’t know what the effect will be.

In his previous life, because the crew of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon approached Sony Colombia for investment, the other party required that the male and female protagonists must be actors with a certain reputation in Hollywood. Therefore, Li An had to wait for Fa Ge for nearly half a year. But now that Wu Yuchen has invested money in the crew, and there is no shortage of investment, Li An doesn't want to gamble on this uncertainty anymore.

Director Wu, we plan to go to Hong Kong Island to make contact with Liang Jiahui.

Wu Yuchen's heart turned after hearing this, and he just felt that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was affected by the butterfly effect he brought.

He has no doubts about Leung Ka-fai's acting skills. He is not called the Best Actor with a Thousand Faces for nothing. He won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor in Curtain Curtain just after his debut. Later, there were also classic characters such as Zhou Huaian, Zhou Chaoxian, and Big D. They acted like whatever they wanted.

Wu Yuchen nodded and said: Director Li, Liang Jiahui is also a very good candidate. He has a very chivalrous temperament in Zhou Huaian in New Dragon Inn. However, he is not particularly keen on Hollywood. Can you persuade him? You still need to work harder.”

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said: Don't worry, Director Wu, our Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is such a good show, there is no reason for Tony to reject it! Director Li and I will definitely persuade him!

Many movie fans regard Tony Leung as Chow Yun-fat's candidate, including Hong Kong film producers who also regard him as a cheap replacement for Chow Yun-fat and Jet Li. But when it comes to acting skills, Liang Jiahui is not bad at all.

Many people don't know that Liang Jiahui has actually had the opportunity to enter Hollywood for a long time. In 1986, when Hollywood director Bernardo Bertolucci wanted to film The Last Emperor, the first person he approached was Liang Jiahui, because he played Emperor Xianfeng twice in The Burning of the Old Summer Palace and Under the Curtain, which made Bertolucci Lu Qi decided that he was the best candidate for Puyi.

At that time, Liang Jiahui was about to sign the contract, but it turned out that Li Hanxiang had a copyright dispute with Bertolucci, and Li Hanxiang also wanted to film Puyi. Liang Jiahui, who had always respected Li Hanxiang as his master, decisively gave up the opportunity to enter Hollywood, wrote a letter to Bertolucci to explain, and then turned around and followed Li Hanxiang to film Fire Dragon. Only later did Bertolucci choose Zun Long to play The Last Emperor.

But Bertolucci has always thought that Liang Jiahui is a very outstanding actor. Later, his friend Jean-Jacques Annaud filmed The Lover, and Bertolucci directly recommended Liang Jiahui. After the release of The Lover, it broke the French box office record. , he became France's favorite Asian man in one fell swoop, and was also praised by Europe as the most beautiful butt in Asia.

It can be said that Liang Jiahui was indeed more famous in the international film industry than Chow Yun-fat at that time, but he always insisted on staying in Hong Kong and did not pursue Hollywood.

Just the day after Li An and Jiang Zhiqiang flew to Hong Kong Island, a major event happened that affected the entire Chinese film industry.

In order to carry out institutional reform of the existing film and television ecosystem, Laoshong Film has merged with 7 film-related state-owned factories including Beijing Film Studio and China Children's Film Studio. It also holds import rights and has become a major player in the Chinese film industry. giant.

This news immediately caused a big earthquake in the industry. Laozhong Film was originally the largest distribution company in China, and now it has annexed so many studios headed by Beijing Film Studio, which is equivalent to integrating production, distribution, and import rights into one. Moreover, its strength in all aspects far exceeds that of other film studios. Who can compare with this?

Han Sanping has also become the vice chairman and general manager of the new China Film Studio from the former director of Beijing Film Studio, the second most powerful figure.

Regarding this news, not only the outside world was shocked, but even the internal staff of Beijing Film Studio were shocked to the point of their heads buzzing, such as Yu Dong at this moment.

As the youngest associate-level cadre in the history of Beiying Film Studio, Yu Dong has always felt that he has a bright future. After a few years in the factory, his merits and hard work are almost enough, and he will be promoted to a full-time job soon. He is only 27 years old this year. The thought of a 27-year-old Zhengke with real power makes him happy.

However, what I didn't expect was that this would lead to the fate of Beiying Film Studio being swallowed up by whales. The Publicity and Development Department of Beiying Film Studio was directly cancelled...

What about his Zhengke? !

Yu Dong was a little confused at this moment, and he and dozens of colleagues were handed over to China Film Studio by the Human Resources Department of Beijing Film Studio.

Everyone has different opinions, and some people are quite happy because China Film's salary is higher than that of Beijing Film Studio, and the travel allowance is 20 yuan higher per day than that of Beijing Film Studio. This is not a big deal for them because they travel all year round for distribution. number.

But Yu Dong has no intention of thinking about wages and subsidies. What he cares about is his regular studies!

When they arrived at the China Film Distribution Department, they saw the manager of the Publicity and Distribution Department above speaking to them:

When you come to China Film Studio from now on, you will become a family. Our China Film Studio has a corporate system, which is different from your Beijing Film Studio. We don't have division directors or section chiefs. From now on...

Hearing these words, Yu Dong felt confused again. Then what would he do when he got to China Film Academy?

After the big-bellied manager finished speaking, Yu Dong approached him, held out a cigarette and asked with a smile:

Manager Hao, my name is Yu Dong.

Manager Hao smoked a cigarette and smiled: Oh, you are Yu Dong, I've heard of you! I said that you are the distribution leader of Beijing Film Studio. From now on, come to our China Film Studio and work hard!

Yu Dong felt a little unhappy. Everyone had called him Yu Ke in the past two years, but he still held back for the time being and continued to ask with a smile: Manager Hao, I wonder what I will be responsible for in our department?

Manager Hao said strangely: Our distribution department is naturally responsible for distribution.

No, I mean, I used to be the deputy section chief of the Publicity and Development Department at Beijing Film Studio~

After hearing this, Manager Hao understood Yu Dong's thoughts, and a playful smile flashed in his eyes:

Well, Xiao Yu, didn't I just say that no matter who we are as section chiefs or division directors in our department, we have to start from the grassroots level. If you work harder in the future, maybe you will be able to live a good life by three to five years. In 2018, I can become a deputy manager~

Manager Hao said and patted Yu Dong on the shoulder with a smile.

Yu Dong clenched his fists, what does this mean? Not to mention Zhengke didn't get any commission, and even his position as deputy section chief was gone? Doesn’t this mean that all his work for the past five or six years was in vain? !

No matter how high Yu Dong's emotional intelligence is in normal times and how he behaves, his energy and blood are rising at this time, and he can slap away the fat man's hands in front of him.

Hey! Yu Dong, what's your work attitude! Don't you want to do it?!

Yu Dong ignored the yelling of Manager Hao behind him and went straight to the general manager's office. He now wanted to ask the old factory director Han Sanping for an explanation!

Han Sanping was sitting in his office talking to his superiors on the phone. He had a lot of things to deal with as he had just taken office. As a result, the door was pushed open and Yu Dong, who usually nodded and bowed, came in with suppressed anger. Han Sanjing felt a little unhappy and had no choice but to talk to the other end of the phone and hang up.

After Yu Dong saw Han Sanping hang up the phone, he couldn't wait to ask: Director Han...

Han Sanping waved his hand to interrupt him: I will call you Mr. Han from now on.

Yu Dong's momentum was interrupted, he opened his mouth, and had to change his title again: Mr. Han.

I was so angry so early in the morning. What can't I talk about?

Hearing Han Sanping's question, Yu Dong immediately poured out his grievances:

Mr. Han, you watched me enter the factory. You personally promoted me to become the deputy department. I am very grateful to you! Following you in the past two years, our Beijing Film Studio has been developing better and better. My Brothers and Sisters has become the box office champion. , If Love Is God's Will even exceeded 100 million. Following your guidance, I also feel that our road is going up step by step.

As a result, now that the system has been reformed, not only has the factory disappeared, but the job I was looking at has also disappeared, so I won’t go into detail here. Now that I have been reassigned to the publishing department, I can’t even keep the deputy department, and I have to start from scratch.

You can see what I have done in the past five or six years. I can't bear this grievance!

Han Sanping also frowned when he heard Yu Dong's words:

What do you mean the factory is gone?! Beijing Film Studio was just merged, not disbanded. Doesn't the factory logo still exist? Can't it still make movies?

This time the Beijing Film Studio was merged, and he, Han Sanping, also took the initiative to participate in it. Now the people below naturally said this, which naturally made him very unhappy, as if he had sold the Beijing Film Studio.

At this time, Yu Dong was no longer in his usual state of high emotional intelligence. He was holding his neck and said nothing, and the resentment in his heart could not be hidden and appeared on his face. This also represents the mentality of some old employees of Beijing Film Studio at this time. Many people complained about Han Sanping leading the merger of Beijing Film Studio into China Film Studio.

Han Sanping was a little angry when he saw Yu Dong acting like this. He knocked on the table and said:

How many years have you been clamoring for the reform of the film system? Don't you, a person like you who has been on the frontline all year round, not know how chaotic it is down there? Can you make progress without reform? Have you turned a deaf ear to the documents you have studied for several years?

Then you can't change it like this! Of course Yu Dong knew that structural reform was the general trend, but he didn't expect that it would affect him.

Do you have any ideological consciousness? Han Sanping pointed at him and scolded him again.

But after all, he was one of his own. He took a long breath through his nostrils, suppressed the fire, and then said:

You go back and reflect on it first. Let's talk about the position later.

Han Sanping knew that Yu Dong was capable and wanted to use him in the future, but now he was the second-in-command who was parachuted in. Many things had not been straightened out and his power was not yet secure.

The leadership positions in the distribution department are already full, and there are no vacancies for Yu Dong to arrange, so Yu Dong can only wait. Only when he frees up his hands to straighten things out can he make arrangements for this guy.

But when Yu Dong heard this, he felt unwilling to do so. He has been waiting and waiting. Not to mention the main subjects and minor subjects, he has not kept it. Now he has to wait. When will he wait?

But he didn't dare to get angry with Han Sanping. He bowed to Han Sanping and turned around and left.

Han Sanping just thought that he had gone back to reflect, and didn't think too much about it. Unexpectedly, the next time he tried to find him, he would hear the news that Yu Dong had resigned.

Yu Dong was a little confused after resigning, but he also vaguely felt that Chinese movies were in a period of change. Now that his career is over, all he has left is one thought: making money!

He is in the publishing business, and this is what he is best at.

He actually had the urge to set up his own company for issuance, but now private companies cannot get issuance licenses. Even if he sets up a company, all he can do is go to those film studios to work, accept commissions from film studios, and help others sell copies. He cannot buy or sell movies himself.

In fact, he couldn't make a lot of money from this. Instead of doing this, he thought it would be better to take another path first and wait for the opportunity.

Miracle Film and Television, office, Wu Yuchen made tea, then looked at the smiling Yu Dong in front of him, and couldn't help but ask: Yu Ke, are you really resigning?

Yu Dong immediately bowed slightly: Excuse me, Director Wu, I am just an ordinary person with a flat head. You can call me Yu Dong or Dongzi.

Wu Yuchen waved his hand and said with a smile: Senior Brother Yu, we are old friends, so there is no need to be so polite. You mean, you want to follow me?

Yes, Director Wu, I know the quality of your company's films. But there is one thing. I think your company's distribution needs to be strengthened. It is all distributed by others, which is relatively passive. If you can trust me, I will help you. Let’s get this business started!”

Wu Yuchen looked at Yu Dong in front of him, and did not expect that he did not start a business immediately after resigning, but instead went to his side to apply for a job. However, he understood as soon as he thought about it. At present, domestic companies have not yet released development licenses for private companies, so Yu Dong came here.

Needless to say, Yu Dong's ability to run the publishing industry. In his previous life, he was known as China's number one publishing company because of his ability. Wu Yuchen took the initiative to send it over immediately, and Wu Yuchen had no reason to turn him away.

Okay, Senior Brother Yu, if you are willing to come, I will definitely welcome you! What do you want to do? Wu Yuchen asked with a smile.

Yu Dong's honest face still maintained a harmless smile:

Director Wu, it's like this. I think the sales of copies in our distribution are not much different from sales. I heard that foreign companies get commissions from sales. If you are willing to give some commissions to our distribution department from the copies, I guarantee that the company's movies can be sold Let’s raise the box office!”

Wu Yuchen finally understood, and he said that since Yu Dong came out of the system, he must have the intention to do it on his own. It turned out that this guy came to him to save the first pot of gold. Wu Yuchen estimated that it would only take two or three years. When the domestic production license is released in 2001, Yu Dong would probably be unable to restrain himself and run away to start a business.

But what Yu Dong said is correct. The distribution of Miracle Films is indeed not good now. With Yu Dong here, we can develop the distribution department without relying solely on China Film and Television and be more proactive in the future. As for him running away in the future, that is a matter for the future. It will take two or three years to decide.

Haha, Senior Brother Yu, only one incentive system is really useful for sales. If this is the case, then we will make a performance system in the future. If the number of copies and box office results reach a certain target, I will give you a bonus share of the distribution department. How? Sample?

When Yu Dong heard that Wu Yuchen agreed, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed and praised: Director Wu, you are indeed wise! I, Yu Dong, will definitely improve our distribution department so that it will be no worse than China Film Group in the future!

Looking at Yu Dong's back walking out of the office, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. This is getting more and more interesting. He recruited Cai Yinong on his own initiative. He didn't expect that Yu Dong would take the initiative to vote for him now that he was sitting at home. .

As his influence grows, not only do people come to him for investment, but also talents come to him on their own initiative. He is really looking forward to whether more interesting things will happen in the future.

…

A week later, Li An returned from Hong Kong Island, accompanied by Thousand Faces actor Liang Jiahui.

Wu Yuchen had already dealt with Liang Jiahui when he was filming My Sassy Girl a few months ago. When he saw him again, he couldn't help but smile and said: Brother Tony, you're fine!

Wu Sheng, I'm filming your movie again this time, please bear with me~ Liang Jiahui naturally knew that Wu Yuchen was the investor behind the scenes.

I originally thought that even if you agreed, you would wait until after the Spring Festival to join the team, but I didn't expect that you would come now.

The Spring Festival is less than a month away, and most actors will not choose to join the group at this time, not to mention they are only here for training. Wu Yuchen has to praise such a dedicated attitude.

Liang Jiahui smiled and said: Director Wu, I was used to it before filming in Hong Kong. I always take pictures during the Spring Festival. Sometimes the crew doesn't even give out a profit.

Brother Tony, don't worry, I will definitely ask Director Li to pack you a big gift during the holidays! Wu Yuchen said with a hearty smile.

Thank you very much, Wu Sheng. Then I will ask my wife and daughter to come over for the Spring Festival~ Liang Jiahui gestured with his fists in a gesture of thanks.

Wu Yuchen looked at Li An, who naturally smiled and said: They are all there, they are all there!

Several people laughed as they spoke.
