Chapter 404 Interesting
When he saw the visitor for the first time, Mr. Wang had only one feeling——
The Secret is not as beautiful as expected, but Guo Yuting is more beautiful than in the movie.
The former's dark circles cannot be covered by makeup, which may be the sequelae of long-term overloaded work, while the latter's complexion is much better.
Maybe it just corresponds to the gap in fame?
Hehehehe...
After a brief glance, Mr. Wang didn't move the radar.
It's unnecessary and meaningless. Wang Yan is very cautious about celebrities, and even if they are broken, they may not be broken.
"Master Wang, are you staying here today?"
An Xiaofang was a little confused when she saw Wang Yan signing for a room.
At that moment, her mood was so complicated that it was difficult to describe.
Young Master, are you a little too hasty?
Sister is really not sure...
Mi Ming and Guo Yuting were calm on the surface, but they were also murmuring in their hearts, and their vigilance was raised to the highest level.
Wang Yan can't guess their psychological activities, but that's not important. I do what I want to do, who cares what you think!
He shook his head calmly: "I'll remember it and leave the room for you later. The executive lounge downstairs is too noisy and inconvenient."
Invisible pretense is the most deadly.
Everyone was shocked by Wang Yan's acting style——
There is a ready-made chatting place in the banquet hall below. You don’t want to just get a presidential suite just for such a short meeting? !
Show off your wealth? !
A few people didn't know Wang Yan well, so they could only guess in the most common direction.
Da Mi and Guo Yuting are well-informed and feel a little disdainful.
An Xiaofang didn't pay much attention. She was polite and introduced each other immediately.
"You should know Mi Mi and Ting Ting. We got along very well when we worked together on Little Moan. We feel like sisters."
"Wang Yan, the extremely mysterious young man. The live streaming guild created by playing with tickets is already the strongest in the industry. The film company's first film is a top-notch production. The script was revised by Mr. Wang himself, and he may be the director. , young and promising is no longer enough to describe him, he is a genius!”
The compliments were poured out for free, but unfortunately no one took them seriously.
Wang Yan didn't reach out and nodded to the two celebrities with a smile.
"Hello."
Mi Mi was particularly generous on the scene. He took the initiative to shake hands with Wang Yan and said, "Hello, Mr. Wang, please take good care of me in the future!"
Guo Yuting is very quiet, with the temperament of a female literary youth who is introverted and afraid of strangers.
Immediately afterwards, An Xiaofang began to introduce the young man.
"This young talent is called Wang Muye. He graduated with a master's degree from Nortel's Directing Department and was a leader in the 2014 Chinese New Directors Program Film Master Class. He is the most promising new force in Chinese cinema in the future."
This time Wang Yan took the initiative to extend his hand: "Nice to meet you!"
"Hello, Mr. Wang!"
Wang Yan looked at the other person deeply, and his first impression was average.
Wang Muye had an unattractive appearance. He was very nervous when shaking hands, and his palms were all sweaty. He looked particularly unattractive, like the most ordinary little person.
But Wang Yan will not draw conclusions based on this. He will observe his words and actions to see if he can use it or not. We will talk about it after the conversation.
Everyone sat down with their own thoughts in mind, and the steward stepped forward at the right time to ask for opinions.
"Master Wang, please choose the concierge package for the Presidential Room. You can choose any one under 5,000. Also, do the distinguished guests need other catering services?"
An Xiaofang said politely on behalf of everyone: "It's up to you, Mr. Wang, to do whatever you want."
Wang Yan didn't refuse, but he didn't accept everything either.
I took the drink list, glanced at it, and made my decision easily.
"Bring me a bottle of Belle Epoque champagne. Ladies, Director Wang, feel free to drink whatever you like."
Big Secret smiled and said, "I'll drink champagne with you."
Guo Yuting ordered a cup of hot milk with an apologetic expression: "Young Master Wang, I don't feel well today..."
Wang Yan waved his hand and didn't let her explain further.
"You can do it yourself, don't be polite."
Wang Muye didn't touch the drink list and just wanted to drink champagne.
An Xiaofang was the most at ease. She flipped through the drink list and asked casually: "Master Wang, Bahua only costs less than 800 yuan. Is there a big difference in the gift amount?"
What is a bonus?
Young Master Wang smiled easily: "Then you can pick what you like and make up for it."
Not taking it seriously at all.
After a few sentences, Da Mi and Guo Yuting finally understood - this master really didn't mean to show off his wealth deliberately, and he was not the nouveau riche he imagined.
When choosing wine, I only choose what I like, and I am extremely insensitive to price. Obviously, I am used to not looking at the price.
What a trench!
An Xiaofang carefully selected a bottle of sweet white wine from the Rhine region, which really topped up the gift quota.
The housekeeper's etiquette was perfect and no attitude was revealed.
Soon, fruits, nuts, chocolates, and small desserts were presented for free, filling the table.
Well, okay, it really doesn’t cost money…
He ordered wine, but Wang Yan didn't touch it much, let alone persuade others to drink, and focused on chatting.
The first question was asked by Wang Muye.
"How did Director Wang and Sister An meet?"
Wang Muye's restraint came from the bottom of his heart. He sat upright and replied: "Actually, Mr. An and I have only met twice. I filmed the secret comeback scene..."
Wang Yan didn't understand. What is a comeback drama?
An Xiaofang was about to explain, but for some unknown reason, she answered first.
"Makino is a very talented director. Although he has not proven himself with feature films, I firmly believe that he can make good movies."
Nonsense...
After chatting for a while, Wang Yan finally understood the situation completely.
Wang Muye has been making short films since graduation. His only big-screen movie is "City in Love", which was released on Chinese Valentine's Day this year, with a total box office of just over 50 million.
Of course, it's not his fault.
It was a co-production with a unit structure. Each of the five new directors was responsible for a unit, and more than ten big-name stars such as Mi Mi, Bai He, and Jiang Yiyan were filmed separately.
Wang Muye is the director of the "Big Secret" unit.
Mr. Wang didn't know much about professional techniques such as composition, expression, montage, and parallel editing. He could only learn theory by reading books, but not the actual level.
However, just seeing that Big Secret is willing to recommend Wang Muye, this person has something outstanding.
Strictly speaking, compared to Wang Muye, the current Big Secret's status is completely different and they are not on the same level at all.
In the brief contact, Wang Yan's perception of the big secret can be described in one word - exquisite.
She's not the kind of person who makes friends casually.
Even if it was just a small matter to introduce Wang Muye to An Xiaofang, if Wang Muye didn't have two brushes, she probably wouldn't be able to help.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan became more and more interested in Wang Muye.
"Does Director Wang have any recent projects?"
Wang Muye smiled shyly and replied: "My senior classmate Han Jiaru has revised a script based on the Cheng Yong case, called "Asan Medicine God". Director Ning Hao Ning gave the first draft to me and Teacher Zhong Wei, and we are working on it. Grind the notebook.”
As a director, Wang Muye is certainly not stupid and knows how to show off his own advantages.
Young Master Wang was in awe.
Wang Yan didn't know who Han Jiaru and Zhong Wei were, but Director Ning Hao's name was definitely well known.
At present, there is no need to even add one of the strongest new generation directors in the country.
There are commercial comedies such as The Stone, Racing, and Love in Love, and dramas such as No Man's Land. Wang Yan has been looking for the unedited version for a long time, and it was shocking to watch.
To get Ning Hao's trust, Wang Muye is a piece of rough jade.
The only problem is...
"Director Wang signed a contract with Director Ning's company?"
"right."
Wang Muye nodded, his face full of happiness and glory.
“Thanks to Director Ning’s consideration, I signed a contract with Bad Monkey this year and was in charge of the Medicine God project.
Of course, the script still needs to be polished. Coupled with the cast schedule and investment issues, it will take 17 years at the earliest to start filming. I now have enough energy to be your company's witch. "
faint!
Who cares about your medicine god project?
Brother only cares about whether you can sign with Wangting Entertainment...
Young Master Wang did not take the project prepared by Wang Muye seriously, but An Xiaofang pondered for a moment and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Makino, is that screenwriter Xiao Han the third master's..."
Wang Muye frowned slightly, and finally shook his head with a smile: "Maybe... I'm not familiar with Senior Sister Han. We've met her a few times in school. We just nodded, and we don't have to work in the company. I haven't met her so far."
Wang Yan didn't understand, but he already realized that it was unusual.
Third Master?
Which third master?
I made up my mind to go back and check. Young Master Wang was more interested in Wang Muye.
However, before checking, An Xiaofang quietly sent a message not long after.
"Han Jiaru is the daughter of Mr. Han of China Film and Television, the number one producer who often appears in movie titles! Wang Muye can be selected to be responsible for filming Han Jiaru's script. Needless to say, he is the assistant director of the Witch. The benefits are a lot of!"
An Xiaofang didn't know this situation before.
Now I suddenly heard it, and I was particularly excited.
Wang Yan was not particularly familiar with the situation in the circle, but he could still think of many specific benefits.
The simplest point: pass the review!
The domestic film and television review system...well, it is quite excellent, no problem at all.
I dare not say too much, but it will definitely go smoother if we have a relationship, and everyone knows it.
When working in a human society, many friends lead to many paths.
Many times when the situation is at the end of the road, all it takes is a word from a key person to turn it into a dark place.
The current Wang Muye is not a great figure, but he can become a bridge connecting Ning Hao, Zheng Ge, Han Jiaru, Zhong Wei, San Ye and other outstanding filmmakers.
Yes, it’s him!
Wang Yan made up his mind, but did not announce it immediately.
I can’t eat hot dumplings in a hurry... As an investor, I have to hold on to the hot dumplings.
"Director Wang, this is the script. Take it back and read it. We will talk about filming next time."
Wang Yan took out a script and handed it over, leaving an introduction.
The young master does not want to reveal his true purpose in front of the big secret and Guo Yuting.
The sisterhood of these people is made of 24K pure plastic. It does not need to be tempered by fire. It can be burned by the sun a little bit. Who is serious and who is stupid.
What follows is small talk.
Big Secret asked jokingly: "Producer Wang, handsome guy, do you have any roles suitable for my sister?"
Wang Yan joked back: "Yes, the female villain who has been in the first and second films has played a very hateful role. Is Miss Sister interested?"
An Xiaofang continued: "Whether you are interested or not depends entirely on money!"
"right!"
The big secret nodded calmly, and then he was the first to laugh.
She has no interest in witches. She really didn't come here for the role today.
Even when Wang Muye asked "Secret Sister if she would like the God of Medicine to accompany Brother Zheng," she was still perfunctory: "It depends on the schedule! If you come to me, I will definitely give you face!"
"Look at the schedule" means you're not interested, so don't ask again.
With her status and popularity, she can't afford to play a supporting role, let alone the villain who likes the witch.
If I have that time, I can make a lot of money by filming a TV series and doing a variety show, which is great.
In terms of busyness, she ranks in the top three among the new generation of actresses, and the dark circles under her eyes can prove it.
However, Guo Yuting was very interested and rarely took the initiative to ask: "Master Wang, can you give me a script?"
Young Master Wang didn't like her acting skills, but he didn't say so directly.
He looked up at her, then glanced at the big secret very clearly, and shook his head regretfully: "Sister Guo, you can't do it. Your beauty is too dignified, and you can't act like a stepmother's viciousness."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
The big secret was furious.
"Hey, what do you mean, Producer Wang? I am particularly suitable for playing the role of a stepmother because of my relationship?!"
Wang Yan held back his laughter and pretended to be stupid: "No! I was praising you for being so beautiful and sharp. How easy is it to understand?"
"Bah! You really think I'm beautiful, give me the heroine!"
The eldest young master touched his chin and thought thoughtfully: "How about... I seal the book? Fifteen years later, I will play it for your daughter, who is just the right age..."
Before Wang Yan could even finish his words, An Xiaofang and the others started laughing like crazy.
The big secret was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but his face was full of clues.
Being rejected by a 20-year-old boy for being too old, what's there to defend? !
If someone is tender to you, you will be as sad as you want...
But she is a show person, she can joke and make a few jokes, and the relationship quickly closes.
The direct evidence is that she started to take Wang Yan to drink.
Private gatherings cannot be without jokes. Everyone is tense and unable to communicate.
But don't turn it too low or too low, which will affect your mood.
Wang Yan's timing was very subtle. He found the most carefree person and opened the door just right, successfully livening up the atmosphere.
"Come on, stinky brother, either drink or lose friends!"
The big man gave it up and raised his glass with a smile: "I was joking just now. In fact, Sister Mi, you are my idol."
Big Secret's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Which of my movies do you like best?"
"Country love story..."
puff!
Guo Yuting sprayed An Xiaofang's face directly...
Big secret: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
There is no point in talking nonsense. After Wang Yan interrupted her, Guo Yuting no longer cared about the character.
She lacks good movies, but she won't stick to a villain. At the same time, her confidence in Wang Yan is still not very strong.
A 20-year-old genius screenwriter and genius director?
Why don't I believe it? !
Little moan... The Little Times trilogy has a stable box office of over 1.5 billion. She has her arrogance.
To impress her, it's not enough to be rich, handsome, and humorous.
…
After chatting all over the country until around 9 o'clock, Guo Jie came over in a hurry and paid a special visit to Wang Yan.
Wang Ting Pictures is just a piece of shit, but a producer who is willing to shell out 50 million for his first trial movie cannot be over-respected.
If you don't have the chance, you'll always look for opportunities to get closer and become familiar with each other. Now that you're near the water, you must leave your contact information.
Guo Jie's attitude is very consistent with her status as a "well-known" but not "top" celebrity.
If it were a lower level, it would be more explicit than this.
Producer Wang was very polite and not distant, which gave An Xiaofang enough face.
Before, Guo Jie had been worried that the young master was too willful and arrogant, but when she contacted him, she found that it was not the case at all. After going down, she even secretly sent text messages to Guo Yuting.
"You are indeed handsome and elegant! Is Sister An going to set up a match for you? Take advantage of it, Taiwanese girl!"
They are both 4W people, so their personal relationship may not be better, but they can indeed have a deeper conversation.
Guo Yuting glanced at her phone, put it down and ignored it.
She has never had any scandals. It's not that the company doesn't want to fire her, it's that she herself doesn't want to.
No one can understand how literary young women think.
…
At 9:30, Mr. Wang raised his hand to look at his watch.
Upon seeing this, Ren Jing Da Secret immediately put down his wine glass calmly.
An Xiaofang smiled and asked, "Shall we go down and accompany Xiaojie?"
"Okay, let's go!"
As they stood up on their own initiative, today's small gathering ended.
Wang Yan said goodbye one by one and shook hands with Wang Muye for an extra long time, overflowing with affection.
"Director Wang, please contact me more when you have time. I look forward to communicating with you next time."
"Master Wang, I will try my best to do what I need to do!"
This is a man who has yet to prove himself and is as hungry as a wolf for opportunities.
However, it does not appear to be impulsive, reckless or impatient, which is rare.
The only pity is that I can't sign with my own company.
Young Master Wang finally realized that the film and television industry is not easy to work in. Good directors, good actors, good scripts, and good teams are all in the hands of others.
It is really not easy for a new company to rise.
Therefore, it is even more necessary to film the witch well.
Only with a successful film can more resources be mobilized and the situation opened up.
Just by looking at Big Secret and their attitudes, you can understand that the right to speak in the entertainment industry never comes from money.
Only when you can get a good script, can afford a good project, and find a good director and good actors can you have power.
As for money, Brother Jing can even afford it by gritting his teeth.
What now?
The inside story of the big secret and their gossip just now shocked Wang Yan——
Wolf Warrior 2 is currently under project approval and should start filming in the middle of next year. The budget is initially estimated to be 130 million, and two companies are already willing to promise to guarantee the minimum!
The minimum price is guaranteed before the shooting starts, and the minimum price is 800 million to 1 billion. What is the concept of that?
It's impossible to be short of money. Young Master Wang has no chance of getting involved. Who would bring a newcomer to play?
This is the benefit of success.
With Wang Yan's foundation in the entertainment industry, he can only pick up the slack and pick up the slack, and he is not qualified to do the kind of business that guarantees a profit without losing any money.
Unless the Witch explodes as expected in next summer, then Producer Wang will be the number one figure.
There is a long way to go and we still need to work hard...
After leaving the Ritz-Carlton in deep contemplation, Wang Yan left the presidential suite to An Xiaofang. She could live there as she pleased or with whomever she wanted.
Return to Xiangji, talk on the phone with Xiao Liuli for a while, and then start working.
After finishing the affairs of Wangting Entertainment, communicating with Li Yixu who returned to the Magic City, and taking a shower, we finally lingered until 12 o'clock in the morning.
Today is a special day.
After 12 o'clock, it is December 1st.
Level 10 system, refresh the mall at the beginning of the month, today, a new product will appear!
Rubbing his hands and taking a deep breath, the young man took the time to open the mall and saw a strange-looking thing at first sight.
I glanced at the price out of habit, and my eyes suddenly widened.
I'm in the wild!
50000000!
Looking at the product name again, Wang Yan immediately knew what it was - it was a trap from before.
Reading the instructions carefully, the young master gradually became excited.
Hey, that’s interesting!
