Chapter 17 Mouth Cannon
ps: Today is limited to free, just one chapter.
After passing the northern edge of Houhai, there is a green space on the west side of the lake. This is the location of Houhai Park. There are many tables, chairs, benches and fitness equipment. This is also a gathering place for some voice-practice fans or music practitioners who practice martial arts. Students from the Central Opera near the Bell and Drum Tower will often come here to call their voices.
Xue Guo and He Xiaobao were also among them. They liked to stay by the willow tree near the lake because there were few people here and there was wind. There was an ashtray above the stone table. Looking at the at least seven or eight cigarette butts inside, they knew that he smoked a lot this morning.
"Eight hundred model soldiers rushed to the north slope..." He Xiaobao nodded as he looked at the people coming over, but he did not dare to stop the tongue twister in his mouth. This was his master's rule and he had to finish it in one breath.
"Uncle Xue is early." Chen Fang and the two of them greeted Xue Guo.
"Oh, why is my throat hoarse?" Xue Guo took a breath of cigarette butt with her fingers left in her hand, pressed it to the ashtray, and spit out the smoke from her mouth towards the lake surface, saving the influence.
Chen Fang explained a little: "Yesterday, Mr. Tian and his friends ate, drank a little too much, and their throats were a little dry."
"This is a bit dry during this period. I have Zhaozhou pears sent by someone else, so I'll arrange someone to send you a box of them."
"Then thank Uncle Xue." Chen Fang bowed and thanked him.
Xue Guo waved her hand: "Why are you polite? I didn't polite to you even if I drank so much wine."
At this time, He Xiaobao, who had received the merits, came over to say hello: "Brother Shen, Sister Mo Han, Xiao Tong, hello."
Chen Fang said to He Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, you have received the notification from our company. How are you considering?"
"I have no objection. My master and my dad are still hesitating." He Xiaobao looked at Xue Guo and said to Chen Fang.
Chen Fang looked at Xue Guo in surprise and asked, "Uncle Xue, do you have any opinions with Uncle He?"
Xue Guo said: "We originally planned to let Xiaobao appear in the "Laughtering Jianghu" and "Comedian" programs in the past two years. After all, we belong to the crosstalk gate. When he has a certain foundation, he is considering participating in other programs."
"Uncle Xue, I have the opposite view of you." Chen Fang shook his head: "Although Xiaobao belongs to the crosstalk gate, if he only wants to be a crosstalk actor in the future, that's fine. Otherwise, when he becomes famous in the future, the audience will become familiar with him, and the identity of a crosstalk actor will actually restrict his own development. Look at the several film and television dramas that Uncle He has filmed in the past two years, the box office is not very ideal. Why? Because when the audience thinks of his image on the stage when they see him, it is easy to get out of the show."
Looking at He Xiaobao's excited expression and Xue Guo's expression, Chen Fang continued: "And our variety show is just a life program, mainly focusing on relaxation. Teacher Huang and Teacher He took him to receive different guests in each episode, do farm work and chat together. It can also be regarded as adding some connections to Xiaobao, which will be of great benefit to his future development."
Guan Xiaotong heard the information inside and mentioned to Chen Fang: "Brother Xiaoye, you are talking about the program "My Leisure Life". Can you invite me to participate in a few episodes?"
"You are also participating?" Chen Fang was a little surprised when he heard Guan Xiaotong's words.
"Yes, I will take on fewer shows next year. Your variety show is relatively easy and it will not delay much study. And I can take advantage of this show to maintain my popularity." The more Guan Xiaotong said, the more he felt that this variety show was very suitable for him: "Since Uncle He doesn't want Xiaobao to participate, I'll go and be a permanent resident. I can learn a lot with Teachers He and Teacher Huang."
"Ah, who said I won't participate?" Seeing Guan Xiaotong trying to pry his own show, He Xiaobao was anxious: "I have agreed long ago, but my father and my master are just thinking about it."
"Tsk, it looks thick and smooth, not as tall as a hoe. Can you do farm work?"
"You are a big stupid guy, you just grow taller but not your brain. Have you heard that the next season's recording has been transferred to Hangzhou City? There is no need to hoe the ground."
"you……"
Looking at the two quarrels, Chen Fang suddenly had an idea. Since Dong Zijian was going to take on film and television dramas in the second season, he proposed not to renew his contract. Therefore, Chen Fang suggested to the program team last time to choose He Xiaobao. This child is smart and smart, and he is better than Xiao Dong in dealing with things and people, especially for many years of learning crosstalk. His quick intelligence will be a highlight during the recording of the program.
Chen Fang found that if Guan Xiaotong was added, the effect of the two participating in this program together would be better. Two children of the same age, one boy and one girl, one high and one low. They often quarrel like happy enemies when they meet. Chen Fang is not ready to agree to Guan Xiaotong for the time being, and they have to wait for the program team to consider it before talking about it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the next few days, Chen Fang accompanied Qin Mohan to participate in "Running Man" recorded in Jiangcheng, and two small things happened in the Chinese film and television industry, which have some relationship with Shen Fang and the Wild Fox Film and Television Company.
The first thing was the shape of the field. Zhang Li and the others joined the Wild Fox Film and Television as art consultants, which made the Wild Fox Company, which was already strong, make up for the last shortcoming.
Although Tian Shixiao is slightly inferior to Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others in terms of personal achievements, his status in the Chinese film and television industry is even better than these two. Yan Film Director Department has been coaching for many years, and in China it can be said that he has many students and many old friends.
Although Zhang Li is not as connected as Tian Zhixiao, as an excellent TV drama director, his qualifications can be ranked in the top three in China.
The second thing is that the famous Chinese director Feng Gangpao fired another shot this time. He bombarded a movie plan for the Wild Fox Company that has not yet been officially announced. He spoke directly to the media, and the Nandu Entertainment Edition enlarged his speech "Bandit! Bandit!" font and promoted it as an entertainment moderator.
The main content of the bombardment is the script "Youth", which is said to be written by the famous playwright Yan Geling. It was a common idea between him and Yan Geling. It was finally bought by the Wild Fox Company for 8 million yuan. Without asking for his personal opinion, three directors who made art films were found to establish the project.
Feng Gangpao is a name that can never be avoided in the history of film in China in the past twenty years. Many people have classified him as the fifth-generation director because of their similar age. In fact, he is not, and the fifth-generation director group has never accepted him. On the contrary, the fifth-generation director has not had a good relationship with him. Among them, Tian Shi, Chen Kaige and Li Shaohong have even gotten into trouble with him because of Mrs. Feng Gangpao.
The biggest criticism of Feng Gangpao's movies among the fifth-generation directors is their artistic nature. They believe that Feng's comedy is a hodgepodge that is mixed together. It is not a movie and has no artistic nature. However, Feng Gangpao believes that they are envious, jealous and hateful, and the box office of his own film is more than their fifth-generation directors. Regarding the criticism of insufficient artistic nature, Feng Gangpao is secretly planning to shoot a movie that can express art, and he has no time to communicate with Yan Geling, so the film misses him.
"Teacher Lu, what is the real situation of the script "Fanghua"?" In the newly listed Wild Fox Film General Manager's Office, Zhong Lifang looked at Lu Wei and waited for his answer. There were also public relations manager Qu Xiaoxiao, who was present.
Although Chen Fang, who was far away in Jiangcheng, who accompanied Qin Mohan to record "Running Man", told her that it was fine. If Feng Gangpao wanted to argue, he would argue with him, just to add some popularity to the film. However, as Zhong Lifang, who had just controlled the big ship of the Wild Fox, still hoped to control this matter within the range she could control.
"When Zhang Yimou's "Return" premiered, I met Yan Geling, the screenwriter of this drama. At that time, she saw that "Return" could be released, and she believed that the country had begun to thaw this history. So she was preparing to describe her past experience in the art troupe..." Lu Wei introduced the ins and outs of the matter to Zhong Lifang.
Lu Wei is a leading figure in the Chinese film and television industry. Many excellent film and television scripts are written by him. Even Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige respectfully call him "Teacher Lu". How many excellent screenwriters hope to get his support to join Benma Pictures, which is also the main reason why Chen Fang wanted Benma Pictures to be incorporated into the Wild Fox and let him take charge of the Cultural and Creative Department.
"Return" directed by Zhang Yimou is a return work. This is the first time he has invited the screenwriter who has broken up in so many years, telling him that he has returned to the movie itself. Yan Geling, the screenwriter of "Return", respects Lu Wei and proposes to write a movie about his experience in that period. Lu Wei encourages it, so the later "Youth".
"What does Yan Geling herself say? She is the party involved in the incident. She still needs to speak out for this matter." Qu Xiaoxiao said from the side.
Lu Wei said: "Before I came, I communicated with Yan Geling on the phone. She denied that she had an agreement with Feng Gangpao. This video is entirely a description of her own experience. You can't give it to Feng Gangpao just because he was a literary soldier."
Qu Xiaoxiao said: "This matter is a bit difficult to deal with. I can only ask Yan Geling to sue Feng Gangpao and try to put our company aside."
"Okay, let me communicate with Yan Geling. As the screenwriter, we still have a certain say in this matter." As the main person in charge of this matter, Lu Wei knew that he needed to come forward.
After Lu Wei left, Zhong Lifang arranged for his secretary to serve Qu Xiaoxiao a new cup of coffee.
Zhong Lifang smelled the mellow aroma of the coffee in the cup and couldn't help but exclaim: "The Mantening given by Mr. Chen is really the best. I have drunk Mantening before, but it is not so mellow."
After taking a sip, Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but agree: "Our boss, besides not smoking, is not the best, whether it is wine or tea. Some people say that only a nobleman has produced three generations of heritage. Look at Mr. Chen's mother, you will know the inner world of the Shen family in Shanghai for hundreds of years."
"Director Qu, although we have worked together before, it used to represent two companies. Now that Mr. Shen and Mr. Huo are pushing me to this position, I feel a little uncomfortable. This incident happened just now. I hope Director Qu will be more worried."
Qu Xiaoxiao put the cup on the table and said seriously to Zhong Lifang: "Mr. Zhong, you are too worried. Just as Mr. Chen said, they are just talking. Our video has not started filming yet, and they are attacking us now, and I am afraid they want to get a share of it."
As an old man who has been in the film and television industry for many years, Zhong Lifang clearly understands the problem: "I understand this. In the past, the establishment of the Wild Fox Company was too short. Although there were projects, there were lack of director talents, and many projects would be constrained."
Qu Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, many projects have to be directed by external directors. The company behind each director will have corresponding demands, so they treat us as a piece of fat. Chen, who is also in the loss, doesn't care about these things, and the profits given are also generous, so many directors have a good impression of us."
Zhong Lifang echoed: "I have learned about this. Many directors who have worked with have a good impression of our company. With the initial results of Director Niu's new film plan, now Professor Tian and Director Zhang Li have finally lost their shortcomings."
"But this has touched the other people's cake." Qu Xiaoxiao said disdainfully: "Feng Gangpao fired a cannon this time, which means temptation. Feng Gangpao and the Huayi brothers behind him represent the interests of a large group of people. Our company used to give the outside world the impression that we were kind to others. Many people thought that we had weak foundations and many resources, just like children who were making trouble, they wanted to rush up and snatch them. But they didn't expect that now we have Director Tian and others in charge, and they were not very good at directors."
"Now I understand that Mr. Chen is so deep in layout." Zhong Lifang sighed, and then said to Qu Xiaoxiao: "Our boss is an alien in the Chinese rich circle. Look at him, he has a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, and he is not often away from the company, but he has created such a big business."
"Haha, if it were in ancient times, he would definitely be a fool who did not love the country and the beauty." Qu Xiaoxiao's words caused Zhong Lifang to smile, and he also had some envy. He could not joke with Shen Fang as unscrupulously as Qu Xiaoxiao. As a professional manager, Zhong Lifang still had many concerns.
Zhong Lifang sighed: "Yes, the relationship between him and Qin Mohan is really enviable. I remember that after the news of their marriage certificate was made public this year, the one who left the most messages below them was that they believed in love again. This made the disclosure of Liu Xiangdong and Milk Tea in Jingfang a few days ago a little embarrassed."
Qu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "One is true feelings, the other is taking the opportunity to hype, it must be different. To be honest, the Beijing Public Relations Department has problems with the handling of this matter, and insists on Mr. Chen and others. If you want to gain popularity, it was exposed by netizens in the end. Whether the two of them will succeed in the end is a question."
"So the public relations department is more important to a company, especially an entertainment company like ours." Zhong Lifang expressed her feelings: "Director Qu, you have a heavy burden. If you need anything to cooperate with me, you can just say it."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhong." Qu Xiaoxiao thanked: "The company is too big now, and we also delegate our rights to various branches and studios, and they directly serve artists. Our public relations department is mainly responsible for the overall image of the company and support for the following departments."
Zhong Lifang smiled and said, "No wonder Mr. Chen often said: "The best man is the wisdom of others, the middle man is the best, and the lower man is the best, it seems that you have a deep understanding."
