Chapter 101 Let Hong Kong Actors Play Supporting Roles for Mainland Actors!

Is Zhang Guorong excited?

Very exciting!

After he read the script of "If Love", he fell in love with the movie!

Musicals, this is a field that he has never tried before, but it is a field that suits him just right.

Because he has been a singer himself, and he also sang and danced back then!

It is relatively easier for a director who has experience in singing and dancing to grasp the expressive power of "singing and dancing" in musicals.

The plot of the movie itself is also what attracts Zhang Guorong. He likes this love story very much. It is similar to "Stealing Hearts", but the core is different.

Such a movie that is more mature on the basis of "Stealing Heart" and also has novel elements is indeed very suitable for Zhang Guorong to continue to improve.

If he just wants to make this movie, he needs to join Wu Yuan's company.

Because Wu Yuan came up with the script.

There is no way he would be kind enough to give someone else a script for free.

"Director Wu, I really like this book."

Zhang Guorong smiled at Wu Yuan and pushed the script back to Wu Yuan, "Just tell me, what are the conditions?"

Wu Yuan, who likes to be direct like this, also smiled and stated his conditions: "Join my company and become a contracted director of the Light and Shadow Era."

"If you sign for eight years at once, I can give you 3% of the company's shares and an annual salary of 2 million yuan per year."

"Of course, I know you don't like this annual salary."

"In addition, I can also promise that if the company invests in and scripts films for you to shoot, you can have 5% of the profit share, which is the profit of the producer."

“If you write the script yourself, you can fund it yourself, and the company will make up for it if it is insufficient, and you will participate in the profit distribution according to the actual proportion of your capital contribution.

"If you invest in a movie by yourself, the company does not need to participate in any profit sharing."

"However, you have the right to reject the script assigned to you by the company, and the company also has the right to evaluate and refuse investment in the script you created."

"That's fair, isn't it?"

The conditions given by Wu Yuan are almost the same as those under which Feng Xiaogang signed with Huayi in 2001.

It's just that the annual salary is two million less. Zhang Guorong is really not short of these millions. It doesn't matter if he is given more or less. Now he is indeed not on par with Feng Xiaogang in terms of net worth (referring to the director field).

In addition, Wu Yuan also mentioned one more condition for the company to arrange the script.

This is because no one at Huayi can write scripts for Feng Xiaogang. Feng Xiaogang has always found screenwriters to write scripts by himself. Of course, Huayi is only responsible for providing money.

Wu Yuan is very confident. He believes that the script he presents will definitely impress Zhang Guorong and will not be easily rejected by Zhang Guorong, so he must make clear the benefits in this regard.

On the contrary, he was not that optimistic about Zhang Guorong's ability to write scripts. Naturally, he could not blindly invest money in him. He still had to pass the evaluation test.

"Eight years? Isn't it a bit too long?" Zhang Guorong frowned, somewhat conflicted with this period of time.

"Is it long?" Wu Yuan crossed his legs, leaned on the back of the sofa, and spread his hands: "Those singers and actors have signed record contracts and management contracts for eight to ten years."

"The career of a director is much longer than that of actors and singers who are easily outdated, right?"

"Eight years is not a long time at all. Eight years can't even produce a good director."

"Director Wu, I remember it's only been four years since you started making movies." Zhang Guorong twitched the corner of his mouth and retorted.

"Chinese cinema has been developing for a hundred years, and only one like me has appeared." Wu Yuan rolled his eyes: "Can this be the same?"

"Anyway, eight years is really not a long time. Director Feng and Hua Yi heard that they signed a contract for ten years.

Zhang Guorong was silent.

"I'll think about it." He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then stopped making any sound and began to think quietly.

Wu Yuan shrugged and added: "Besides, I only sign your directing contract. Your recording contract and management contract have nothing to do with me."

"You are really not satisfied with your stay in our company by then. Can I really force you to continue directing?"

In fact, this kind of signing of directors will be eliminated by the market in about ten years. In ten years, most directors will not sign their directing contract with a certain film production company, but will only sign an agency contract at most. .

Directors mostly set up their own studios, and then use their scripts to seek investment from film companies, forming a cooperative relationship with the film companies.

Wu Yuan did not want to tie up Zhang Guorong for the rest of his life. He just hoped that in the next eight years, he could help him share the burden and become a qualified tool man in the era of light and shadow.

If you want to develop quickly in the early stage of the light and shadow era, it is definitely not enough to rely on just one director.

When the company develops, Wu Yuan will no longer care about these two directors. By then, there will be many directors rushing to take over his company's projects.

Zhang Guorong still looked thoughtful, but Wu Yuan could already see that he was very moved.

Sure enough, after the two sat in silence and drank for a few minutes, Zhang Guorong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reached out and clicked on the cover of the script of "If Love".

"If this movie is really going to be made, which actors does Director Wu think are suitable to play it?"

Being able to ask this sentence shows that Zhang Guorong really wants to direct this movie.

The fish has taken the bait!

Wu Yuan naturally cooperated in discussing this topic.

"I think Zhou Xun is very suitable for the heroine. I have filmed with Zhou Xun and she has also acted in my movies."

Wu Yuan recalled for a moment and said with some emotion: "She is really a very spiritual actor, the kind of person who is fed by God."

"Zhou Xun." Zhang Guorong nodded thoughtfully: "She is indeed a good young actor."

"What about the male lead?"

"I don't have any idea about this." Wu Yuan spread his hands: "Let's hold a large-scale audition at that time, and call all the male actors in the mainland who can play in this movie to try it out."

"Only mainland actors?" Zhang Guorong's handsome eyebrows frowned again. Although he didn't mind using mainland actors, the three leading actors of "Stealing Hearts" were all from the mainland, but this did not mean that he hoped Wu Yuan would discriminate against Hong Kong actors.

Speaking of which, except Zhang Guorong, Wu Yuan has not used any Hong Kong actors!

"Director Wu." Zhang Guorong asked hesitantly, "Do you have any bad opinions about Hong Kong Island actors?"

"In fact, Hong Kong Island actors are also very good, their acting skills are also very good, and they are very dedicated to their work."

"Otherwise, Hong Kong Island's Academy Awards would not be so well organized and have influence throughout Asia."

"They are very good, I don't have any bad opinions." Wu Yuan hurriedly shook his head and explained, "I also like Hong Kong Island's excellent actors, otherwise why would I ask you to shoot "Departures"? "

"I just hope to cultivate a group of excellent mainland actors."

"You see, the mainland's film market will definitely get bigger and bigger in the future, but the number of excellent mainland actors is completely insufficient. What should we do if the market is big but there are no actors available in the future?"

"I know there are many excellent actors in Hong Kong Island, but doesn't Hong Kong Island also shoot a lot of movies every year? Hong Kong Island actors have no shortage of job opportunities, and they have been trained to be excellent enough."

"But mainland actors are in urgent need of growth now, so we must give them more opportunities."

Well, this is half true and half false. Wu Yuan still has some bad opinions about Hong Kong Island actors, but not for everyone, only for some actors.

Otherwise, Wu Yuan would not have saved Zhang Guorong.

He also likes actors like Hua Ge, Gu Zai, and Liu Qingyun, but he just didn't encounter the right opportunity to cooperate.

However, Wu Yuan is unlikely to have a chance to win the Hong Kong Film Awards.

There are many conditions for mainland film and television works to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The director must be a Hong Kong permanent resident ID card.

The film producer must have at least one Hong Kong company.

At least 6 projects in the film have permanent resident ID cards.

Two of the above three conditions must be met to be eligible for the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Wu Yuan is not a Hong Kong native, and it is impossible for him to accept Hong Kong capital to invest in his own film, so he is destined to have no chance to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

This also makes him not very interested in using Hong Kong actors, at least he will not actively pursue them.

Zhang Guorong is different. As long as at least 6 projects in the film are Hong Kong natives, he can participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Actors are also considered one of the crew projects.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan added: "I think it would be great to let Zhang Xueyou play the role of Nie Wen in the script."

You said I don't like Hong Kong actors, so I can find a Hong Kong actor to play a supporting role for the mainland actor, and it can also meet the requirements of participating in the Academy Awards
