172. Just pet him(3/4)
"Hey, okay."
Xu Xin agreed directly without even thinking about it, and then asked again:
"Are they optimistic about "The Untold Secret"?"
"Um."
From this child's nodding with almost no hesitation, I felt an almost blind trust, and Zhang Yimou, who felt relieved, responded:
"If you sign, the film won't be included in the contract, but at least the credit will go to Xiying Studio. This is a lie that is on the surface, but no one will expose it. It's good for you,
It’s also beneficial to Xi Film Studio. In return, at least you have the right to make your own choices about what to shoot.”
"OK."
Xu Xin nodded again.
That's what a director's contract is like. It doesn't stipulate a certain number of years of cooperation, such as three or five years. It's based on the work.
As long as the film studio completes as many film contracts as possible, the contract will naturally be terminated.
And if people from Xi Film Studio come to sign in these days, then it will be fine if you don’t win in Cannes, but if you win, it will be equivalent to adding another honor to the factory.
It can be said to be a huge benefit.
For Xu Xin, with his back against a big tree, he can choose his own script instead of waiting for the factory to distribute it...
This point is actually quite important to the director personally.
After all, there is more freedom in creation.
But Xu Xin didn't want to talk more about this aspect.
After the laptop was turned on, it was held in front of Zhang Yimou.
There are construction site drawings, planned drawings, and on-site illustrations of designed details... If nothing unexpected happens, the construction period will end in late May, or the end of May at the latest, and the director team will be able to pass by then.
After reporting the work progress to Director Zhang for about an hour, Xu Xin left the small conference room and then came to Zhang Wu's office.
After knocking on the door and walking in, he saw Zhang Wu standing in front of the window smoking.
"Director Zhang."
"Well, come in. Come on, come on..."
Zhang Wu looked quite happy...but there was also a somewhat unnatural look in his smile.
After calling Xu Xin over, he said:
"I'll show you something, come on."
After taking a detour behind his desk, he took a document from the drawer and handed it to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin was a little puzzled. After taking it, he found that it was a project declaration plan...
"Hasn't this... been tried?"
In the early days of April, the project team's newly formulated project plan with the scroll as the core had been approved.
Why was this brought out again?
"Look at the end. You were not there when this document was sent. Look at what it said at the end."
"Well……"
Hearing this, Xu Xin turned the document directly to the last page.
I saw a line of handwriting on it.
The handwriting is steady, like a mountain.
Subconsciously, he read out loud:
"Everyone thinks that this adjustment is substantial and has obvious progress. It is more exciting than the original one, the creativity is very good, and some of the ideas are also very good. How can the broad masses of people understand and even respond through performances.
The best, most exciting, most touching and shocking things should be fully displayed to everyone. Good ideas should be given enough time and space to be fully expressed so that the audience can resonate.
We have set the general principles, but we still need the Olympic Organizing Committee to play the role of artists to implement them concretely.
After the plan comes out, we should still gather the opinions of experts and pool our collective wisdom to organize and design several ceremonies well so as to live up to the people's expectations."
After reading...
He stared blankly at the words "We have set a general principle"...
Asked subconsciously:
"Director Zhang, who wrote this...?"
"What do you think?"
Zhang Wu held the cigarette, as if he had a deep meaning.
"On the day I received this plan, according to Lao Tian, there has never been a leader who, when listening to the plan for the ceremony, wrote such a sentence of criticism in his own hand after the meeting voted and passed it with anticipation. And,
Xiao Xu, you got the comment "This young man is the designer of the torch, right? Yes, he is young and promising."
"..."
Subconsciously, Xu Xin shivered...
He asked shakily:
"Really...really?!"
"Well, it's true. Lao Tian said it himself... But we all decided to give you a surprise, so we told you now. Hahaha~"
"...hehehe."
Hearing Zhang Wu's words, Xu Xin didn't know what to say and just started to laugh silly.
Silly fun indeed.
Apart from silly music, he didn't want to say anything else.
Just happy, happy from the bottom of my heart.
After taking the Yuxi from Zhang Wu, he had been having fun for a long time before finally calming down. With a full stomach... and a feeling that he could only think about himself but could not express to anyone, he just lit the cigarette...
Suddenly I heard Zhang Wu say:
"Did Lao Shang call you?"
"……ah?"
The topic changed a little too quickly, and Xu Xin didn't react.
"What?"
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Wu saw his expression, he shook his head helplessly:
"Okay, why are you pretending to be stupid in front of me? You silently told me about this...this matter...what Lao Shang did was not kind."
"..."
This time, Xu Xin reacted.
It should be about "Wulin Gaiden".
but……
What happened to "Wulin Gaiden"?
While he was still thinking, Zhang Wu said:
"Actually, Lao Shang's temper is like this. Sometimes he lives a confused life. You can say that he is upright, but more often than not, he is inflexible and sometimes can't figure out his own position. He is a director.
As long as the work is produced, everything else is the matter of the distributor and the film company. I have to get involved in everything... but I don't have the brain yet. The full copyright of 16 million, even this fool knows that it is a loss.
matter.
But just because someone helped him during the "Cooking Class" period, he wanted to repay... He actually didn't have any other intention. He thought the profit was okay, and he made money for you, and he could also repay the other person's personal favor.
. That’s why you are so insistent... Don’t worry, let him talk to Momo first. If we can’t talk, I will call him to persuade him. This is your money, he is just the director. Once the story is filmed, his duties will end.
Yes, the control in other aspects is a bit too broad.”
"Well……"
Now, Xu Xin probably understood.
seem……
The relationship between Director Shang and Sister Mo broke down?
One insists on selling the full copyright for 16 million, and the other disagrees?
I see.
And Director Zhang is... afraid that he has a knot in his heart, or that someone else is willing to persuade him?
Thinking of this, he shook his head:
"I don't understand much of what you're talking about."
To be continued...
