Chapter 211-Ambition
On the 12th, this year's th Magnolia Awards was held on time in Shanghai, hosted by Lin Hai and Chen Rong.

"My Captain, My Regiment" and "Lost" were nominated for Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Actor and other nominations.

In the end, "Insidious" won several important awards including the Gold Award, Best Director, and Best Actor.

"The Regiment Leader" won the Most Popular Actor Award and the Most Powerful Director Award.

Gu Wei did not go to the scene, but Wang Chen went there on behalf of the company.

...

After the Cannes Film Festival, Lou Ye attracted the attention of the entire circle.

I participated in Cannes in violation of regulations in 07. I went there without any approval, and in the end I still haven't won any award.

After coming back, I was happily given a gift package that banned me from directing for five years.

It is said that some domestic directors do like to shoot restricted movies, with gay passionate scenes, large-scale vacuum scenes, and a lot of other scenes.

In 03, Lou Ye was filming the movie "Summer Palace". I heard that Hao Lei was chosen at first, but when she heard that she had to go topless, she directly refused. However, Lou Ye auditioned more than 400 actors and was not satisfied with any of them, so he only decided on her.

Finally, unable to resist Lou Ye's constant nagging, Hao Lei agreed without telling her boyfriend. As a result, after the filming of the movie, her boyfriend Deng Chao unilaterally announced their breakup.

In the end, the movie was taken off the shelves because of its excessive content, and Hao Lei was also banned.

This year he was even more ruthless. He went to Cannes again with "Spring Breeze Intoxicated Night". You said to go so he went. There was not much coverage of him in China, and his leaders just turned a blind eye.

As a result, now when facing media interviews, he publicly called out the Film Bureau.

"I hope the movie can be released in mainland China and my ban on directing will end soon. I also hope he will be the last director banned in China."

Yes, that's quite righteous, but there are some things that really shouldn't be said.

Sure enough, the General Administration immediately issued a penalty notice, the film was banned in the country, and Lou Ye was criticized by name.

"Hehe, you're really brave."

Think about the directors who were banned from directing in China, including Director Tian Zhuangzhuang, Director Gu Wei, and Director Jiang Wen. Which one dared to violate the regulations during the ban? They all waited patiently until the ban was over before launching new movies in China.

Anyway, Gu Wei would not make a movie of this kind. Art is not simply about taking off clothes. Some expressions do not require nakedness to impress the audience.

The filming of Painted Skin 2 is scheduled to start in mid-July and the casting has been basically confirmed.

The filming location of the movie is still in Phoenix in the west, and the crew's equipment, logistics personnel, props and costumes have begun to be transported there.

...

In Xingchen Film and Television Company.

Gu Wei met Song Ge, the general manager of the Capital Perfect Space Company mentioned by Wang Chen.

The two parties met in the company. In China, Gu Wei generally did not like to go to places like coffee shops to discuss things.

Song Ge, 42 years old this year, is at the age of vigorous spirit. Even though he wears a pair of glasses, he cannot hide the ambition in his eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Gu, I'm Song Ge."

While Gu Wei was sizing up the other person, Song Ge was also looking at him silently. Song Ge was very familiar with Gu Wei's reputation. After all, as long as he was in the entertainment industry, everyone knew him.

Hearing the other party address him formally, Gu Wei straightened his back unconsciously and his expression became serious.

"Hello, Mr. Song, please take a seat."

After extending his hand, both parties sat down and faced each other. Wang Chen next to them started making tea with quite skillful movements.

"I've heard of Mr. Gu for a long time. What's the matter with inviting me here today?"

Song Ge asked directly. He didn't think that the other party, a big director, had nothing to do and just wanted to meet him.

"It's like this. I asked Mr. Song to come here today because I want to invite you to join Xingchen Film and Television Company."

Gu Wei spoke straight to the point without any irrelevant remarks. There is no need to hide anything when dealing with smart people.

The other party was obviously stunned when he heard this, and after a pause, he said, "Mr. Gu is the top director in the circle. You entered the industry much earlier than me. I don't know why I am worthy of being invited by you personally."

"Gold will always shine. Although Mr. Song has just entered the film industry, his experience in management is well-known.

Although Xingchen Films is not the largest in China, it is experienced in filming and investment, and I don’t have much time to take care of the company’s affairs, so I wanted to invite you, Mr. Song, to join the company and be responsible for the management of the film and television department. "

In the original time and space, during the two years that Song Ge joined Wanda Pictures, he bought IPs, signed directors, visited the six major Hollywood studios, learned about equity investment, and tried to use 1 billion yuan to win over the country's top directors and brokerage companies.

However, Wang did not give Song Ge the support he wanted. In those two years, Wang made a fortune from real estate, with a net profit of 200 billion yuan a year. He did not take film and television production seriously at all. "Your annual profit from movies is only tens of millions. What's the point of such a company?"

"Boss Gu, since you said so, I'll tell you the truth. In fact, Wanda Pictures also invited me.

In terms of financial strength, Wanda is based in real estate and has sufficient funds. They have their own cinemas and production companies, and one of the conditions for inviting me to join is to invest 1 billion yuan to recruit directors and brokerage companies in the circle. "

Song Ge said a lot, and to sum it up, it was to give me a reason to join you, otherwise why would I leave Wanda with better conditions and come to you.

Hearing this, Gu Wei smiled slightly. "Although Wanda has cinemas and production companies, they lack big directors. The few big directors in the circle basically have their own circles. Even if Wanda wants to cooperate with them, it still depends on their mood.

But Xingchen Films is different. I plan to build a domestic film company based on the Hollywood model. I plan to invest 5 billion yuan in the next few years to shoot science fiction blockbusters.

This will not only promote the development of the domestic film industry, but also fight against the invading Hollywood culture."

Since he had invited him, Gu Wei did not hide it. If he was willing to come, he would have to tell him sooner or later.

Song Ge was stunned by what he said. He didn't expect Gu Wei's plan to be so grand. Not only was it a huge investment in movies, but he also wanted to compete with Hollywood movies.

In addition, before Song Ge came, he had some vague guesses in his mind that he was a man who dared to think and do. In another time and space, "Wolf Warrior 2" had not yet started filming. He had only read the script and didn't know whether it could be filmed or what it would be like. However, he dared to guarantee Wu Jing a box office of 8 million yuan. He was indeed a ruthless person.

"Don't worry, Mr. Song. If you are invited to join the company, you will be given full power. In the next few years, Wang Chen will be in charge of the TV drama business, and you can be in charge of the company's film business as long as it does not violate the regulations."

Seeing Song Ge in front of him, he felt a little moved, so Gu Wei took advantage of the situation and said.

Because of his personality, when Gu Wei spoke frankly, Song Ge thought for a moment and said, "I am 42 years old this year, and I have some assets. I don't expect to be very rich, but I just want to do something big."

After a pause, Song Ge suddenly raised his teacup and said, "Mr. Gu is young, but his ambition is admirable. Song Ge is not talented, but I am willing to make some contributions to Chinese-language films with Director Gu."

Gu Wei was overjoyed to hear this. This was a person who was no less capable than Wang Changtian and Yu Dong.

In the future entertainment circle, he will not be a small role, although he is not famous now.

Gu Wei picked up his teacup and stood up, laughing: "With President Song joining us, Xingchen Film and Television will definitely become the top film and television company in the country."

The two of them drank tea instead of wine, and the joining was finalized. As for when Song Ge would come to Xingchen Film and Television and what kind of treatment Gu Wei would give him, it was not a good time to discuss it in detail.

After all, when people meet, they talk about feelings and ideals. It would be a bit of a spoiler to suddenly talk about money. However, Gu Wei has always been generous when it comes to the treatment of the company's employees.

The two chatted for a while, and when they left, Song Ge said that he would go back and arrange the company's affairs, and after the handover was completed, he would come to Xingchen Film and Television Company to take up his position.

Gu Wei was too embarrassed to say how much money he would give, but after thinking it over, he still said, "I'm very happy that Mr. Song can come here. As for the salary, I will give you according to the highest standards in the industry."

Seeing Gu Wei's generous behavior, Song Ge was quite satisfied, but he still smiled and said, "Director Gu, you are too polite. I, Song Ge, am not a greedy person."

Gu Wei smiled and said, "I know, I know. It's all for our ideals. Let's work together in the future."

After sending Song Ge out of the company, Gu Wei and Wang Chen turned back to the office. After dealing with this person, Gu Wei was in a good mood.

After Song Ge joined the company, he could finally relax and prepare for the next new movie.

...

The news about "Inception" is like a hurricane passing through, and the film and television industry are all paying attention to the time of the domestic premiere.

A large number of movie fans and audiences are full of anticipation, and as the release date is getting closer, everyone is excited.

Whether it is director Nolan, top Hollywood star Leonardo, or popular domestic actress Liu Yifei, they all generally have a large number of fans.

Major companies in the circle are also keeping an eye on it, and many want to take advantage of the opportunity to get on board, such as Huayi Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Emperor Entertainment Group, and even Wanda has ideas in this regard.

In late June, just as Gu Wei, Liu Yifei and Qin Hao were preparing to leave for Hollywood.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" was launched with great fanfare.

With the foundation of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", a large number of game fans and film and television fans flocked to this TV series.

Hu Ge's Jingtian, Huo Jianhua's Xu Changqing, Yang Mi's Tang Xuejian, Tang Yan's Zixuan, Liu Shishi's Longkui...

And one person plays several roles.

A hit TV series was born, and since it was produced during the summer vacation, the students also made great efforts.

"Xuejian is so beautiful, no less beautiful than Ling'er was back then."

"Zixuan is a bit dashing, and Longkui is very touching."

"Haha, the main characters are all the names of Chinese medicinal herbs."

Seeing the ratings getting higher and higher, Yang Mi knew that she had become famous. Although there was still a big gap between her and the others, she at least saw hope of catching up.

At the same time, Cai Yinong also had a happy look on his face and kept an eye on the ratings.

When filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", she wanted to sign Liu Yifei, but Liu Xiaoli never agreed. Later, with Liu Yifei joining Xingchen Film and Television, she had no chance at all.

Later, she met Liu Shishi at the Beijing Dance Academy. Although the latter was a little inferior compared to the other, she still decisively signed Liu Shishi and trained her vigorously.

As for Yang Mi now, she is also within her consideration.

But I heard that American International Company didn't recruit the other party either. It seems that I have to hurry up.

In the Tangren Film and Television office, Cai Yinong called his secretary and gave instructions.

...

　On the first day of March, please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a reward!
