Chapter 214 Well done Zhang Weiping.
"Hehe. How can you say that, Sister Li? I have no choice but to write the script. It took me so long to write it to my satisfaction." Having said that, Chen An hurriedly explained.
I didn't expect that a casual remark I made at that time would drag on for so long.
People always remember and care about you.
After saying that, he handed the prepared script to the other party.
Gong Li took the script and was very satisfied that she had finally waited for the work that Chen An had mentioned, so she quickly stuffed it into her bag.
"Leslie, I didn't expect you to be here too." Then he said to Zhang Guorong next to him.
Zhang Guorong also smiled and said bluntly: "Yes, I waited for you in Beijing for a long time but you didn't come back. Director Chen called and you came back."
In response to Zhang Guorong's teasing, Gong Li just smiled and didn't care.
Instead, he looked at the photos piled up on the table and asked curiously, "Are you interviewing? I just saw Wang Jinghua taking the kids out."
"Of course, I'm interviewing your family." Chen An waved the photo in his hand and said with a headache.
Looking at these photos one by one really makes my scalp tingle.
"Oh, by the way, we are not partners this time. We have to talk nicely on the crew. I am the assistant director this time." Zhang Guorong suddenly said to Gong Li with a smile.
"Assistant director?" Gong Li was a little confused.
Even though I already knew that the male lead should be Ge You, I didn't expect that Zhang Guorong who appeared here was the assistant director.
Chen An explained without even looking up, "Mr. Zhang said he wanted to develop in the mainland, and wanted to try his hand at directing, so he found me and arranged for him to be my assistant director to learn from me."
Gong Li was still wondering, she had been away from Beijing for too long, was Leslie going to become a director?
On Chen An's side, he finally took out a photo that he was satisfied with.
There are words written on the back of the photo. It is about a little boy from his hometown in southern Hunan, named Zhang Jiashuai.
She looks good, but she looks a little familiar.
Never mind, it's suitable, I'll just give it a try.
"Oh, Director Chen has a good eye. I think he's quite suitable." Zhang Guorong said as he looked at the little boy whose photo Chen An took out.
As an assistant director, Cricket still has to agree with the director's wise decisions.
"Yes, one has been solved, and there is one left." Chen An nodded.
Sure enough, this movie with children is troublesome.
Seeing that Chen An was still busy, Gong Li was also curious while holding the script.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then she left first.
"Director Chen, your script is very difficult. Can such a young child handle it?" Zhang Guorong, who had already read the script, said with a worried look on his face.
Chen An's script is uncomfortable to read.
Is it true that people who are not related by blood cannot become a family?
Chen An explained: "The child's performance is not very advanced, the main difficulty lies with Sister Gong Li."
Although it accounts for a large proportion, the performance is not very difficult for these two little kids.
Putting down the photo in his hand, Chen An went out to give some notice first.
Ask staff to contact the children in the photos first.
Then I went back to look through the photos.
After leaving, Gong Li returned to the car and began to look through the script impatiently.
Sitting in the back seat, the driver slowly started the car and drove towards the destination.
She pulled out the script she had just received from her bag.
Smoothed out the small wrinkles and raised corners caused by squeezing.
Open the script called "Shoplifters".
He slowly looked at it.
The story takes place in a supermarket.
After several days of searching, Chen An finally decided on the two young actors.
The boy is the same little boy named Zhang Jiashuai who was previously released.
As for the little girl, she was brought for the interview by someone in the circle. Her name is Guan Xiaotong.
After choosing for a long time, Chen An finally agreed.
But tell this little girl to cut off the hair you worked so hard to grow.
But the little guy said in the most authentic Beijing accent than anyone else: "Go ahead and cut it. I've wanted to cut it for a long time, but my mother wouldn't let me." His father Guan Shaozeng saw this and smiled helplessly.
Chen An thought this little creature was quite interesting and finally decided on it.
As for the role of grandma, Chen An once again found old lady Li Mingqi, and their previous cooperation in "Hello! Mr. Tree" was also very good.
As for the role of the sister, Chen An had already prepared the script for Jiang Wen and Chen Wei.
I wrote the script for “The Heart Labyrinth” and gave it to a few people.
Then he stuffed both of them in.
As for the role of the sister, Chen An thought of Zhou Xun.
The other person's baby face is also quite suitable, and he looks like he has never grown up.
Faced with the invitation submitted by Chen An, she agreed without thinking.
The crew’s vacation is almost over, and we can basically start filming.
"Huh~" Chen An exhaled a puff of smoke and stared at the TV.
Above is the Heroes trailer that is on rotation.
This movie will be released next month, but Chen An can't go this time because he is rushing to finish his upcoming filming.
And I was thinking about the previous interview with Zhang Weiping on TV.
Things like "We must definitely break the record of "Time and Space Clue" and leave Chen An behind." "Hero", which cost more than 30 million US dollars, is the first blockbuster in China, and Zhang Yimou is the best director."
It's really unpleasant to listen to him talking nonsense like this.
"I hope you can break my record, and also break your previous record." Chen An said quietly while looking at the advertisement on TV.
Although Zhang Weiping is a very evil person, he is still good at publicity and promotion.
And the copyright fees sold this time are indeed more than in the previous life, probably because of Chen An’s success.
Buy a Hollywood distributor for 30 million dollars!
However, Chen An estimated that Zhang Weiping bought them all at once.
The issuance rights alone are worth 30 million US dollars. It’s not that Chen An looks down on him, but he really doesn’t have the qualifications.
Nowadays, the promotion of "Hero" is everywhere, especially in Beijing, where you can see it everywhere, just like "Time and Space Clues".
The next day, Chen An was going to have breakfast and then prepare for the project launch conference.
Zhao Xiong, who came to pick him up, also brought him a newspaper.
Chen An was delighted when he saw the headline above.
"Zhang Weiping approached Chen Ancuo and discussed with the cinema chain to increase the producer's share, raising the share of "Hero" to 44%. Zhang Weiping said that only in this way can the market development be promoted, and increasing the producer's investment income and expanding the market is a win-win move. However, one of the cinema chain's leaders scolded him for being greedy."
The story was written in a few hundred words in the newspaper.
The share I got was higher than in my previous life!
Unlike the pleasant negotiation between the two parties with Chen An, this time the cinema chain directly pointed at Zhang Weiping's nose and scolded him.
They said he carried the "film" with him and constantly threatened to cut the revenue of the cinemas.
The cost paid by the theater is completely ignored.
Moreover, both the news and the theaters mentioned Chen An.
Chen An also benefited from the traffic of this incident, and it was used as a positive example.
"Zhang Weiping, I've been calling you Zhang Weiping for a long time. Do you like calling me that in front of the media?" Chen An laughed as he read the newspaper.
His face was distorted from smiling, and Zhao Xiong thought he was possessed by evil spirits.
I knew you couldn't help it. Chen An only asked for 41% at the beginning because he was waiting for him.
Just open a gap first. The money has already been made anyway. Then you can gain fame and increase the share. It doesn't matter if you keep the price at a point that the theaters can accept.
After this, Chen An no longer plans to discuss the matter of profit sharing. He is just waiting for you, Zhang Weiping, to come out.
"I knew you couldn't help it."
Chen An muttered to himself.
I opened a small gap and let you see the direction, how could you resist?
Like money so much.
