Chapter 1039 Board

When the car turned to the front of the building, Feng Bicheng noticed that the old man's car was actually there.

After parking the car and getting out of the car, he took a special look at the car. It was a Maybach specially given by Yuan Ke, the boss of Jinghua Films, after the ratings of the show last year exploded. Before this car, it was the old crown that the old man had been driving for nearly ten years.

Of course, in fact, whether the old man buys it himself, or his own son buys it for him, no matter how expensive the car is, he must be able to afford it! Just this top-equipped Maybach costs less than 500,000 Huayuan.

Although the property of the father and son is not comparable to that of the big bosses, they are not short of money now.

The old man's studio has been affiliated with Jinghua Films for the past few years, and has produced four TV series. Although it is not as good as Minghu Culture's big screen dramas, but the old man's shot is very stable. The ratings of each show, The topics are quite good, the studio has income sharing, and of course it earns a lot of money.

On my own side, Minghu Culture has never treated its own people badly. "Big Wrist" and "Crazy Stone" have sold more than one billion yuan for two consecutive movies. — You know, it’s only been two or three years.

So, after discussing with each other, the two bought two villas next to each other in the same villa area.

Of course, although Feng Bicheng said that he had a girlfriend who was seven or eight years younger than him last year, he hadn't taken it home yet. He didn't have anyone else at home, so he usually came over to eat with his parents when he came home.

Entered the door and called "Mom", then followed the answering voice and looked towards the kitchen, and saw that my mother was in the kitchen, picking vegetables with the invited aunt, Feng Bicheng asked casually, "Where is my dad?"

His mother had already dropped the dishes and stood up, saying: "The study is upstairs!" As she walked out, she asked: "Yesterday you said you wanted to visit the film and television city, did you go?"

Feng Bicheng gave an "um" and said, "I've gone, I just came back!"

His mother asked again: "Have you seen Xiaoqian?"

"See you, chatted for a while, and had a meal over there."

A smile appeared on Feng's face, "Good! Good!"

Feng Bicheng pointed to the upstairs and said, "I'll find my dad!" Then he was about to go upstairs.

But after climbing a few steps, he stopped again, turned around and said to his mother, "Mom, let's get something delicious tonight, and I'll have a drink with my dad."

Mother Feng laughed even more when she heard the words, "Come on! Your dad just got addicted to eating my roasted goose today! It's already prepared, and I'll start cooking it in a while. Dinner at 5:30!"

Feng Bicheng smiled and walked up.

Sure enough, the old man is in the study, looking at the materials, a thick pile of them.

Feng Bicheng pushed the door open and went in, saying, "Dad? Why aren't you socializing today? We're all done talking?"

Feng Yumin took a puff of the pipe on his mouth, and the smoke slowly came out from his nostrils. Then he put down the materials, took the pipe in his hand, and said, "What's there to socialize with? It's been decided long ago. Those people will not die." It's just a heart."

After a pause, he said with some disdain: "I don't even think about it. It's such a big deal. So many people come to my studio for dinner. They treat me to a delicious meal, drink two bottles of good wine, and pat my chest. Make it louder, and I will throw away the good conditions of Kaiming Lake and run to their side? Are you kidding me!"

While he was talking, Feng Bicheng had already sat down on the sofa. Feeling that the room was a little suffocating, he got up and opened the window. At this time, Feng Yumin still added, "Besides, friendship is here!"

Feng Bicheng nodded.

Li Qian was enrolled in the Photography Department of Shuncheon Film Academy in 1996. In the same year, the preparations for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" began, and his father served as the chief director. Later, because he was not satisfied with the actor Sun Ce selected by the Soochow Group, his father went to Shuncheon Film Academy in person. Persuaded Li Qian to play the role of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, the friendship between the two began from then on.

This is 2005, do the math, it's been eight or nine years!

Back when Li Qian was just a singer and music producer, when Minghu Culture was not Minghu Culture, but called Li Qian Studio, the two had a very good relationship. The director of the production center is said to have a higher status and a bigger scene than Li Qian, but every time Li Qian is mentioned, Feng Yumin respects him very much, calling him his "first year-end friend".

After coming and going, the two of them got along with each other all these years, so there is no need to talk about their friendship.

Because of this, in the early years, I was quite annoyed by Li Qian—you are a boy in your early twenties, not as old as me, and you are on the same level as my father, what's the matter, you still want me to call you uncle What's the matter, son?

Of course, this emotion must have long since disappeared.

The current him is no longer the Feng Bicheng he was a few years ago.

Sitting down for a while, Feng Bicheng suddenly said: "Dad, there is a teahouse on the top floor of our company. The exhaust and ventilation system there is specially made. Even if many people smoke cigars together, it doesn't taste good. Let me ask you when I went back. Where did the company order the goods, and I will give you a small set for this study?"

Feng Yumin smiled and waved his hands, like Maitreya Buddha, and said, "No need! In half a month, I will go to your teahouse to smoke!"

Feng Bicheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed.

But no, in half a month, the contract that the studio signed with Jinghua Films back then will completely expire. The number of TV episodes, time, etc., all the conditions stipulated at the beginning have all expired.

By the end of May, once the contract is signed with Minghu Culture, Feng Yumin's studio will be affiliated with Minghu Culture for the next six years, and Minghu Culture will also set aside an office area for Feng Yumin's studio in Minghu Building Come on, at that time, Dad can be regarded as going to work with me.

At this time, Feng Yumin looked a little complacent, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqian is bragging, saying that his pipe-making skills were taught by a British master art master, and he also promised to make a pipe for me and Cao Zhan. I have promised us this for more than a year, and when I move to Minghu Building, I will go to collect debts!"

Feng Bicheng laughed when he heard the words, and said, "How can he make pipes recently! I went to the film and television city to visit the studio today, and I am very busy. And I think he is under a lot of pressure. After all, with an investment of 500 million yuan, Minghu is also good. Well, he himself, including our country, has never played such a big game, and he still needs to use new technology. Before the movie comes out, I guess even he himself is not too sure. This debt, you can postpone it for a while Take it easy!"

Feng Yumin smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's okay!"

But after a pause, he said, "Actually, it's all right!"

While talking, he took a puff of his pipe, with some leisurely fascination on his face, and said: "There must be pressure. But your father and I have known him for so many years, regardless of his young age, he does things steadily. If he is not sure, there is no He won't play that big. Since he dared to do it, it means that in his heart, this matter is already 90% reliable!"

Feng Bicheng nodded, but he still couldn't help but say, "He is safe in doing things, he must be safe. However, there are still risks."

Feng Yumin finally sensed that something was wrong, and couldn't help but look at his son seriously.

I didn't say it earlier, but in the past one or two years, my son has been admiring Li Qian, and his confidence in him is even greater than his own - let go of character and so on, and just talk about ability , The two scripts before and after made this kid admire Li Qian so much.

But today, he seems to be a bit uncharacteristically, full of worries about Li Qian and the movie he is making?

And since he entered the house today, he doesn't seem to be in a good mood?

After thinking for a while, Feng Yumin got up and walked over, sat down on the sofa opposite him, and asked, "What's wrong with you today? I went to visit Li Qian's class, what are you talking about?"

Feng Bicheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "No, no. Dad, don't worry, I'm just looking at the big booth in the film and television city, watching his 3D full green screen shooting, I feel a little subconsciously worried, nothing else."

Feng Yumin nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, full green screen shooting is not uncommon in Hollywood. It's just that our country has not kept up with it. But this is the trend!"

Feng Bicheng nodded and replied: "Mr. Li said that domestic human resources, time resources, etc. are still cheap now, so live-action shooting will be cheaper than green-screen shooting, and the current large investment in China is relatively small. Most of them are For realistic themes, it is easier to show the texture of the picture with live-action shooting, so green screen is used less. But if it continues to develop, special effects will become cheaper and more expensive in the future, and more and more movies will be produced, and even TV dramas are all shot with green screen. And there are many subject matter restrictions, and green screen is much cheaper than filming with scenery! This is indeed a trend!"

Feng Yumin looked at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Since there is nothing wrong with this, why are you acting so preoccupied? What happened?"

Feng Bicheng looked up at his father, and said: "I chatted with Lao Han a few days ago, and he mentioned it to me. Mr. Li meant that he might start to build several studios in the company. I was I don't care, anyway, I can do whatever I want, the company won't treat me badly, and I have no other ideas. But I went to visit the class today and chatted with Mr. Li for a while at noon. Mr. Li told me personally that he has already thought about this matter. Alright, I will indeed be working as a studio next, and I am the first batch!"

Feng Yumin showed a clear expression.

After a while, he said: "Isn't this a good thing? Why do you look unhappy? "

Feng Bicheng thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Li said, the first batch is me, Lao Han, Lao Jin, our three directors, and two actors Bai Yujing and He Yingyu. Everyone else has to go to the back row."

Feng Yumin was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then panicked, and sat upright all of a sudden.

"That's not good?"

Feng Bicheng scratched his head in a rare way, "I don't think it's good either! I can't interfere with what the company and him think, and I don't think about it. I just think that the first batch of five people opened the studio. There are six studios, and the two of us will occupy two, which is not good."

Feng Yumin telegrammed his mind and asked, "Isn't Zhao He not qualified? Lu Lingxi also has two TV dramas with very high ratings, and she is also so popular as an actress... and Zhou Baoshan... Hey, Li What is Qian doing? This bowl of water is not held flat..."

Feng Bicheng nodded and said, "So, I pushed!"

He looked at his father and said: "I told him that I don't have any ambitions now. I just want to do things well, be a good person, make a few more good films, and repay the opportunities he gave me. As for work I don't care whether it's a studio or not, you can consider me in the end!"

Hearing this, Feng Yumin nodded slowly, and leaned back on the back of the sofa.

He muttered in his mouth: "It's very good for you to answer him like this!"

After a long time, Feng Bicheng didn't speak anymore, Feng Yumin didn't speak anymore, they were smoking a pipe, thinking back and forth in their minds. It wasn't until two or three minutes passed that he sighed, and finally said: "Zhao He is fine. At most, there will be another movie. He was one of the first group of people who followed Li Qian, but Li Qian Qian probably understands that his talents are actually limited, and "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" is a bit of a labor of love, so he has to wait to see the situation of "Shaolin Temple"."

"Lu Lingxi is also fine. This girl is very powerful, and the amazing thing is that Li Qian first made her a popular movie star, and then let her be a director. This fame is not an ordinary director who makes two blockbusters. The drama can be compared. Therefore, her status in Li Qian's heart cannot be lowered."

"By the way, there is also Qin Jingjing. Actress! If it was left in another company, it would have been unstoppable. The studio should have opened a long time ago, but it seems that Li Qian thinks that she is still a little bit close to carrying the box office. The ability of her, so I have to continue to suppress it. Bai Yujing, on the contrary, took the old minister's light, she is the eldest sister of your Minghu group of actors, no one will say anything about it. It's just... Sigh!"

Feng Bicheng smiled and said: "Everyone thinks that Zhou Baoshan went there with Mr. Zou when he was playing big names. It’s a bit like thunder and rain, but the matter should be considered over. But no one thought that the real board is here!”

Feng Yumin nodded, "Among the actors in Minghu, Zhou Baoshan is the most popular right now, and Zhou Baoshan is the most popular at the box office. However, Bai Yujing and He Yingyu have studios, but he doesn't! Tsk tsk... ...Li Qian's playing... By the way, have you inquired, how many years are left in Zhou Baoshan's contract with Minghu?"

Feng Bicheng replied: "It should be that after "Once Upon a Time" became popular, the company signed a new contract with him, but the contract was only for four years, and it should expire next summer."

Feng Yumin narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, thought for a long time, shook his head, and said, "It's a bit risky this time!"

Feng Bicheng nodded when he heard the words, but didn't say anything.

Zhou Baoshan is very popular now, among all the Chinese actors, he is the superstar with the most box office appeal, not one of them. Even now, even Li Qian, from a global perspective, is no stronger than his appeal. However, Minghu Culture promoted a group of directors and actors and opened a studio, but he did not have him.

If under normal circumstances, the contract is still very long, then of course it doesn't matter, at most it means to pressure you for a year or two, but now, his contract has only one year left - that is to say, if Zhou Baoshan If he wants to change jobs and leave, Li Qian has already opened the door for him!

At this time, Feng Yumin suddenly asked: "Did he not talk about the renewal of the contract?"

Feng Bicheng shook his head and said, "Zhou Baoshan didn't take the initiative to mention it, and the company didn't mention it either. I'm freezing here!"

Various thoughts flashed through Feng Yumin's mind. Finally, he sighed and said, "It depends on how Zhou Baoshan chooses. If he chooses the right one, Li Qian will continue to praise him. If he chooses the wrong one... maybe even "The Matrix" " may change! Li Qian dares to do this, which proves that he is sure to welcome a newcomer at any time. But if Zhou Baoshan wants to leave at this time, even "The Matrix" and "Huang Feihong" are lost... ...it's a little precarious."

Feng Bicheng nodded, but said: "That's what I said. But I think...is it a bit too much to do this? Zhou Baoshan is quite honest. Although he said something, I don't think he really intends to change jobs. In this way, it seems that he is forcing him to change jobs. Is this a bit too obvious?"

Feng Yumin laughed slowly, shook his head, and then the old god said: "Over the years, I can see that although Li Qian himself has talent, what he values ​​most is actually character. It’s because he’s so talented! Talented people are often aloof, but he doesn’t. If you think about it carefully, he always thinks of himself very lowly, and his attitude is always very low. But in fact, it’s just because he no longer disdains He put that arrogance on his face. You think, with his ability, how could he not have a little arrogance in his heart? Zhou Baoshan has only been popular for a few days, and you dare to play big cards for me? Do you really think that your ability has already Did it go to heaven?"

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, he especially likes to use those who are easy and clean. Because from his point of view, he is good to everyone, treats no one badly, and doesn't bother to squeeze anyone People, as long as you do things well, he will definitely praise you, and he will never suppress what you should give. This time, it is probably because he would rather sacrifice Zhou Baoshan, the person who has already been praised, and suppress Minghu Culture. Department!"

Feng Bicheng frowned slightly when he heard the words, "Suppress the film and television department?"

Feng Yumin laughed, and said: "In recent years, both he himself and the entire Minghu culture have been turning towards film and television, especially movies. The current Minghu culture, the scale, efficiency and reputation of the film and television department have all shown There is a serious tilt. There are many big names in the film and television department! Last time when he was drinking, he also said that he felt a little unhealthy and wanted to raise his head. So what should we do, let's suppress it!"

After a pause, he smiled and said, "You think you're already famous and married, and you're a master? Then let you be clear that in the entire Minghu culture, I'm the only master!"

Feng Bicheng nodded slowly when he heard the words, and said with a look of sudden realization, "It makes sense."

After a pause, he said again: "He hates those 'evil tendencies' the most. He likes everyone to do things peacefully and make movies in a down-to-earth manner. He always tells us that Chinese movies must catch up now, at least After another ten years of doing things in a down-to-earth manner, it is possible to slowly catch up with Hollywood. At this time, the attitude of doing things seriously is more important than talent!"

Feng Yumin nodded slowly, then sighed, and said, "It's just Zhou Baoshan... What a pity! He took so much effort to hold it up."

Feng Bicheng smiled and said, "Not necessarily, let's see what Zhou Baoshan thinks!"

Feng Yumin sighed, and was about to talk, but at this moment, the two of them were only focused on chatting, and they didn't notice that the time passed so fast. The mother Feng downstairs had already started shouting, "Don't you two want to drink? I'll give you a drink." Get a few cold dishes, let's go down for a drink first!"

Feng Yumin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Go, go down and have a few drinks with me!"

Feng Bicheng also stood up with a smile, and subconsciously asked: "Okay! What wine do you want?"

Feng Yumin had already put down his pipe, opened his cabinet, took out two bottles of red wine, pointed at his son, and said, "It's from Qian'er, he said it came from his winery!"

While talking, he said with a smile: "We can't control other things, and we don't have to think so deeply. We should take care of ourselves. We should eat meat and drink alcohol. Then, let's see his flowers bloom and fade, and the tide fades and the tide grows." Bar!"

Feng Bicheng nodded.

The two of them walked out the door, each holding a bottle of wine.

When going down the stairs, Feng Yumin also asked: "Is your new movie finalized?"

Feng Bicheng said: "Mr. Li means to let me take a break and not be so anxious. There is no need to follow one after another. The rest time is actually a time for thinking and precipitation. But at noon today, I told him Yes, I said that I had settled down at the beginning, and now I just want to work."

Feng Yumin turned to look at his son upon hearing this, and asked, "What did he say?"

Feng Bicheng laughed and said: "He looked at me and smiled, and said yes. Then he told me to go to the company tomorrow to get Mr. Qi to get a script. The next play is called "Crazy Racing". He explained to me that this play is a continuation of " The style and ideas of Crazy Stone, and... we must focus on Liu Zhongxin."

Feng Yumin thought about it, and before he sat down at the dinner table, he laughed.

"Sure enough!" He laughed, "That's it, he just likes this kind of people who are willing to be honest and obedient. Even, the more talented you are, the more you have to be honest. As long as you are willing to put your talent Putting it on his own work, he can tolerate you in other things! As long as you are serious about filming, he can praise you in a few scenes! And as long as you are dishonest, you will want to jump up and down when you show your head , then he will suppress you without discussing it! Like Zhou Baoshan, he actually plays big names on the set. Although it is not serious, there are many people who are not popular in the circle but have done things more than him. But in Li Qian’s view, it’s just no."

Feng Bicheng smiled and nodded.

"So my next step is to finish shooting "Crazy Racing". If he wants to praise Liu Zhongxin and set an example for Zhou Baoshan, then I can't let him down."

Feng Yumin said with a smile: "His book will not disappoint people."

Feng Bicheng nodded.

Although he hasn't read the script called "Crazy Racing", but just by hearing the name, he knows that it is in the same line as "Crazy Stone". According to Li Qian's usual standard, it must not be bad.

Therefore, Li Qian gave him another movie that was sure to sell well.

This is the third one.

This almost gives him an illusion: as long as he follows Li Qian, he will come up with good stories one after another to achieve himself, until he is promoted to the god position!

I just don't know if Zhou Baoshan will feel this way!

After all, along the way, from the two parts of "Once Upon a Time" to "The Matrix", he is now a big hit in the world, the resources and the strength of his praise, even himself, is the gold medal. Han, He Yingyu, Bai Yujing, etc., everyone can't compare.

In the entire Minghu culture, the person who should be most grateful is himself, and the second one should probably be his turn!

When I became a bereaved dog, I chose to stay, so I have today.

And he, from an extra who worked odd jobs, was directly promoted to the throne by several movies of Li Qian.

***

It’s been a long time since I’ve written a big chapter. Recently, I’ve written several big chapters of five or six thousand words in a row. Once again, I feel that my body has really collapsed after three years of writing a book! A chapter of 5,000 to 6,000 words often requires at least three hours or even four hours of typing at the desk. Frankly speaking, the body really cannot sustain such a long period of high-intensity work.

In the future, I will honestly write a chapter of three or four thousand words.
