Chapter 100 Do You Want to Try "If Love"?

Chapter 100 Do you want to try "If Love"?

"Mr. Zhang, I think you are very talented in directing.

Wu Yuan smiled and pushed the script of "If Love" to Zhang Guorong.

"Have you thought about the thing I told you before?"

"You have seen the box office results of "Hero" last year. This year, the mainland film market has been completely opened up."

"In the next ten or twenty years, the mainland film market will usher in a golden age."

"The glory of Hong Kong's movies is a thing of the past, Mr. Zhang, look forward."

"Take a look at this script. As long as you join my company, I will make this movie for you."

"You don't have to worry about the investment. The company is fully funded. You just need to make this movie well. ”

It is indeed for this matter.

Zhang Guorong’s expression became serious. After looking at Wu Yuan, he took the script and read it silently without saying anything.

Seeing that Zhang Guorong was willing to read the script, Wu Yuan’s mouth corners slightly raised, and he was sure in his heart.

Why did he choose the movie "If Love" for Zhang Guorong to shoot?

There are two reasons.

The first reason is that this movie really suits Zhang Guorong’s appetite.

Look at his first directorial work "Stealing Heart", a love entanglement story between a woman and two men.

And "If Love" also tells the story of Sun Na, a poor actress. When she tried hard to forget everything in the past, two important men in her life appeared at the same time, and Sun Na faced an emotional choice.

And the script of this movie, to be honest, is better than "Stealing Heart". 》 is better.

Wu Yuan doesn't believe that Zhang Guorong is not tempted.

As for the second reason, Wu Yuan wants to give the Hong Kong circle some eye drops.

Immediately, starting in 2004, Hong Kong circle capital began to move north, and Hong Kong circle directors and crews also began to come to the mainland to make money.

Among these directors who went north to shoot movies, the one Wu Yuan hated the most was Chen Kexin.

At the turn of the century, when the Hong Kong Island film market, especially the overseas market of Hong Kong Island films, was completely finished, Chen Kexin wanted to go to Hollywood to try his luck, but he couldn't make a living there and was once in a dilemma of having no movies to shoot.

Until last year, when Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was released, he saw the life-saving straw and the light of hope.

He was the first Hong Kong Island director to shout in Hong Kong Island that "the mainland market is the final destination of Chinese-language directors", and he was also the first to go north to work

However, unlike Xu Ke and Chen Jiashang, he did not really come to work and expand the market.

Chen Kexin only wanted to use the mainland's funds and market resources, use the mainland's first-line actors to play supporting roles, and promote Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to enhance their status and market value.

The films he directed or produced, such as "The Warlords", "The Guillotines", "The Siege of October", "The Magic Couple", and "Wuxia", all used 1-2 mainland first-line actors as supporting roles, and promoted Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

He even used Huang Xiaoming and Wen Zhang to play supporting roles for the newcomer Ruan Qitian from Taiwan in "The Guillotines", and promoted him to be the male lead.

You must know that Huang Xiaoming was in his prime at the time, and the influence of "Mingjiao" was more terrifying than the three little ones later.

Wen Zhang relied on "Struggle", "Dwelling Narrowness" and "Snow Leopard" to dominate the small screen, and the big screen The screen also has two movies, "Ocean Paradise" and "Love Is Not Blind", as a foundation.

Letting these two first-line male actors from the mainland play supporting roles for a newcomer from Taiwan is absolutely ridiculous in 2020.

At that time, including Wu Baige and Golden Horse Chairman Zhu Yanping and other directors, they all expressed their opinions directly in public.

It is said that directors and capital from Hong Kong and Taiwan want to take advantage of the opportunity to direct co-productions and take advantage of the nomination and winning opportunities of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.

To deceive mainland stars who are eager for awards, let them play supporting roles for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, and directly suppress the status and future of mainland actors.

Among them, the ones who implement this principle most thoroughly are Chen Kexin and Wu Baige.

Wu Baige, Wu Yuan really has no way to suppress him now, he has been in Hollywood for a while and has achieved success.

If he wants to return to China to make a movie, Wu Yuan can't stop him, and it is impossible to stop him.

But Chen Kexin is different, and Chen Kexin is even worse than Wu Baige.

Wu Baige only used mainland funds to promote Hong Kong and even Japanese and Korean actors, but Chen Kexin not only did this, but also embezzled money and enriched himself at the expense of the public!

In 2011, he directed the movie "Wuxia", and just a straw hat cost 6,000 US dollars.

In the face of doubts, he still said confidently: "Money is earned, not saved."

In the end, the movie lost a lot of money, but Chen Kexin could buy a new villa.

So Wu Yuan took out this "If Love".

This movie is one of the few good movies Chen Kexin made after the new century.

Although the box office performance was not good, it won many awards.

It was also because this movie won many Golden Horse and Golden Image Awards, and also won the Best Actress and Best Director, so Wu Yuan wanted Zhang Guorong to try it out.

Zhang Guorong, a Hong Kong director, used mainland investment and mainland actors to shoot a mainland movie to share your Hong Kong Island Golden Image Award cake. This operation is too cool.

As long as the movie is made and released, the effect of this eye-popping will be achieved, and it will really disgust the group of filmmakers in the Hong Kong circle who only think about making money in the mainland.

Will the Golden Image Award be given or not?

Give it, then Guangying Times has achieved a lot of achievements in awards just after its establishment, which can bring a lot of hidden value to the company, and can also share the cake of the Hong Kong Film Awards openly.

I guess some Hong Kong filmmakers will be angry to death.

Don't give it?

That doesn't matter, you can still go to the Golden Rooster Awards!

How many awards did Chen Kexin win in mainland awards with the three movies "Chinese Partners", "Dear" and "Win the Championship"?

"Chinese Partners" gave him 2 Golden Rooster Awards, 2 Huabiao Awards, and 1 Hundred Flowers Award.

"Dear" gave him 1 Huabiao Award.

"Win the Championship" gave him 1 Golden Rooster Award.

Three movies, won 3 Golden Rooster Awards, 3 Huabiao Awards, and 1 Hundred Flowers Award. What an exaggerated achievement is this?

Are these three movies so excellent?

Why can Chen Kexin do it?

Isn't it the "Unity of Hong Kong and Taiwan" guidance from the top, and the blessing brought by Chen Kexin's Hong Kong ID card.

Zhang Guorong is also a pure Hong Kong Islander. He was born in the Hong Kong Island entertainment circle and now he is developing in the mainland. Why can Chen Kexin get the same treatment, but Zhang Guorong can't?

Wu Yuan will not lose out anyway. He can not only gain fame and fortune, but also accurately target those Hong Kong Island directors who go north to make money.

Zhang Guorong has proved that you can win awards by using Hong Kong Island directors + mainland actors. Why do you have to use Hong Kong Island actors to do something?

You say mainland actors can't carry the box office?

Don't worry, it's not just "If Love".

If the development goes well later, Wu Yuan also plans to let Zhang Guorong shoot movies such as "Chinese Partners", "Dear" and "Win the Championship". These are all big-selling movies!

Not to mention that Wu Yuan himself will also shoot several movies in China next, and they will definitely use mainland actors.

Let's see what those people say then.

Wu Yuan rarely strongly dislikes someone, but it is an honor that Chen Kexin has received this treatment.

Without the movie "If Love", when Chen Kexin's "The Warlords" loses everything, whether he can still make a lot of money in the mainland will be a big question mark.

Even if he can still come to the mainland to direct movies, he can't be as glorious as before. If he makes a mistake, he will be thrown into the abyss.

Chen Kexin is destined to be directly eliminated under Wu Yuan's arrangement.

Now Wu Yuan's only worry is whether Zhang Guorong can make this movie "If Love" well, whether he can support his task line of destroying Chen Kexin and replace Chen Kexin.

Wu Yuan thinks there is a chance. Zhang Guorong, who has been under the King of Sunglasses and his subordinates, will not be worse than Chen Kexin in the future as a director!

Retracting the thoughts that drifted in his mind, Wu Yuan put his eyes back on Zhang Guorong.

"How about it, Mr. Zhang, is this script good?"

"This is what I prepared for you. The story style is very similar to your "Stealing Hearts", but there is a new element of "singing and dancing" added."

"Do you want to give it a try?"
