Chapter 769: Lao Meng mediates
Without mentioning the peeping of the pretty ladies upstairs, Er Zhang sat down and at Lao Meng's suggestion, everyone had a drink and then opened the conversation;
"Director Zhang, today I took the liberty to ask Director Han to invite you two over. You can definitely guess the reason. They are all old acquaintances in the same circle. There is no need to make both sides lose money for a schedule. Let's openly discuss it!"
Before Zhang Yimou could speak, Zhang Weiping snatched it: "Mr. Meng, our new picture has no broken rules. We have notified all theaters in advance. Bona deliberately upgraded the file, so it cannot be counted on us."
Yu Dong's hand holding the cup's feet, the blue veins soared, and he wanted to smash it to Zhang Weiping. This is too shameless. He kept up the price and raised the ticket price. That is not the hands and feet of the new picture. He is so shameless!
"Zhang Weiping, you are a well-known person at least. In front of everyone, do you dare to say that it was not deliberately raised in the new picture?"
Han Shanpin waved his hand to stop Yu Dong, who was excited. Seeing that Meng Qingzhou had no intention of speaking, he had to go on his own;
"Mr. Zhang, I won't mention the previous incident. You have to know my attitude, including your increase in ticket prices. We, Zhongying, also agreed. But if you can take a step back, don't be able to get along with the money."
"Dr. Han, it's not that I don't give you face. There's nothing I can do about it. We have signed contracts with Xingmei, Emei Cinema, and Xintiandi Cinema. If we regret it, I can't afford the penalty for liquidated damages!"
This is nonsense. How could the theater party directly sign a contract with the producer? Even if it is a copy, it will be distributed the day before the movie is released, and it will not involve the signing of the contract. Zhang Weiping is all laymen here;
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, your nonsense ability has opened my eyes. Tell me, how did you sign the contract? Why didn't I receive a report from Century Cinema, or what contract did you sign with them privately?"
Wang Changtian almost spilled out the red wine. It was so funny. He spoke nonsense in front of a bunch of experts, and laughed out loud when he spoke;
"This...maybe before I can notify Century Cinema, Mr. Meng, I will send them a fax tomorrow."
Seeing that everyone was smiling at him, Zhang Weiping, who didn't know where it was wrong, quickly remedy it;
This cannot be blamed for him. In the past, the promotion and distribution of new images were all handed over to other companies to operate. Zhang Weiping rarely participated in specific things. This time, because the investment was too big and he was unsure, he came forward by himself;
Meng Qingzhou was too lazy to talk to him anymore. Looking at Han Shanpin, he said, "Dong Han, why don't you think so? "Dr. Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is released until December 5th, and "The Flowers of Flowers" will be released on the 16th, how about it?"
"No, why do you need the Dragon Gate Flying Armor to be released first? It should be our Thirteen Flowers of War. Mr. Meng, you are not in accordance with the rules when doing this!"
Lao Meng looked at Zhang Weiping coldly, and Zhang Yimou, who was standing beside him, looked lonely with a glass of wine;
"Zhang Weiping, I'll give Director Zhang a face. Don't be ungrateful. Letting you come here is to solve the problem, not to let you mess around. If you can't speak, just listen carefully!"
"you!"
Zhang Weiping stood up in shame and angrily, pointed at Meng Qingzhou, and just said a word, he was pulled down by Lao Taozi;
"Wei Ping, listen to what Mr. Han and Mr. Meng thinks, it's not too late for you to speak again."
Wang Changtian talked about the wine glass with Ning Hao. Today's meeting may determine the issue of speaking in the circle in the future. Lao Han has not been in power for several years, and Meng Qingzhou is rarely so strong, it is hard to say that it was not intentional;
"Qingzhou, since you say that, there must be a complete solution. Don't hide it, let's listen!"
The people upstairs all looked at the domineering Lao Meng with a brilliant look. The girl grabbed Xiaogu's arm tightly and almost exclaimed in surprise;
"The big ship is too fierce. Zhang Weiping is not a good person. The vixen, nothing will happen."
"What can happen? Isn't it just a film and television company? Without Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping is nothing. Lao Meng can still keep him. Even if he has a good temper, if it were me, he would have let him get out!"
"Tsk, just brag. If you really want to let you go, you will still have to say whether you dare to speak. What's the point of showing your skills here!"
The fairy didn't miss the opportunity to attack Mimi, and immediately retorted;
"Okay, okay, listen to how they solve it, we can learn a little."
...
At this time, outside the Taihe Villa District, a lot of reporters and paparazzi had gathered. After all, they were all big names. There were already many reporters paying attention to it at any time, and they also came to Boss Meng's house. How could paparazzi with a keen sense of smell let go of such big news?
"You said these big guys were just a simple party, or was there something big about it?"
"It's a big deal, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Han Sanye, Jiang Wen, and Zhang Weiping and Lao Taozi went in just now. Could it be a trivial matter? Maybe it's just the matter of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "The Flowers of Flowers" two days ago, and they all came to Boss Meng to do peace with Lao!"
"Meng Qingzhou has this ability? Isn't he the boss of Wan Chongshan? Can he compare with Han Sanye?"
The older reporter chuckled: "Brother, you are a newcomer. Go back and do your homework well. Don't offend someone one day, and don't know why!"
A paparazzi holding the camera next to him also turned around and said, "If it weren't for Boss Meng being too low-key, buddy, we would definitely not lack news. Just rely on those bosses Hua Zixiang, I promise not to bring you a year of repetition!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his companion next to him slapped the back of his head: "You want to die so much, you just open your mouth. Do you still want to do it? If you don't want to do it, go back and resign immediately. Don't cheat me!"
Everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks. Thinking of the leader's explanation at the meeting every month, they put down the camera in boredom and stared at the entrance of the community helplessly;
I really hope Mr. Meng will come out and have a walk around by himself!
...
"Whether it is "The Flowers of Flowers" or "The Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", the investment is quite large. Since the schedule is staggered, the most important thing is to schedule the film. I promise that the two movies, the theater chains under Wanchongshan, will not be less than 40%. Lao Yu and Director Zhang, how about it, are you still satisfied?"
Of course Yu Dong had no objection. It was not that Meng Qingzhou's help was not unaware of it. It was the biggest advantage that it could be released in advance;
Under Meng Qingzhou's strength, Zhang Weiping could only accept it with his nose. He knew in his heart that even if the Longmen Flying Armor was released in advance, the impact on the Flowers of Flowers would be minimal, and he had a lot of confidence in Zhang Yimou;
"There is another point, Mr. Zhang, don't mention the ticket price. Don't think I'm targeting the new picture. Please ask Lao Wang and the others, is it good or bad to raise the ticket price on attendance?"
Wang Changtian said with ulterior motives: "Mr. Zhang, Lao Meng is right. If you want to increase the box office by increasing the ticket price, you might as well discuss the share with the theaters again!"
Meng Qingzhou didn't expect Wang Changtian to do this, so he looked at Han Shanpin and shook his head. He was another uneasy person;
Zhang Weiping's eyes lit up. What a great solution!
"Old Wang, do you think it's not messy enough? Mr. Zhang, don't listen to him. This guy is cheating you. If you really go to talk to the theaters about the share of the money, there will be more people offended. I just pretended that I had never said anything before!"
Yu Dong also glared at Wang Changtian angrily. This guy is not kind!
After the conversation started, they were all scenes again. After a change of topic, they talked about "Super Body" again. In order to attract investment in the future, Jiang Wen's grandson also knew that Meng Qingzhou would not mind, so he deliberately took all the credit on himself. It was so bad!
"Do you know what camera I use to shoot "Super Body"? F65. The pictures taken by this thing are natural and instantly killing the cameras we use in China. It's so satisfying!"
When it comes to the topic of film, Lao Touzi became much more active;
"I went to the theater to watch "Super Body". Jiang Wen, don't be verbally speaking. The script was written by Director Meng, right? I know that producers in Hollywood are generally responsible. I guess these equipment are recommended to you by others. Didn't you buy one?"
"Hahaha, Lao Jiang, don't play big swords in front of Guan Gong. Director Zhang used F65 when he was in charge of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games."
Lao Touzi waved his hand, "I have used it, but I have never tried it in a movie. I am just curious about how you shot that speed car!"
There is a very demanding scene in the movie "Super Body", which is the spectacular car chase scene on the streets of Paris. This requires the photographer to shoot all the chase without actors and crowds.
The photography car is equipped with a RED EPIC camera, a digital camera that can capture 1080p full HD images at a rate of 60 frames per second;
"The reason for choosing RED is that on the streets of Paris at that time, it could well locate the positions of 6 RED cameras. One photography car was equipped with 6 RED cameras, one in the front and the other in the back, and two on both sides. Each shooting point must be matched simultaneously with the actors. We used this photography car to shoot this car chase scene on the streets of Rivoli in Paris."
Lao Tozi and Ning Hao both looked at Jiang Wen, who was talking with a yearning look. The gap between domestic film and television companies and Hollywood is currently not very big in terms of photography equipment configuration;
Not to mention their advantages in special effects!
After three rounds of drinking and enjoying the exquisite Western food arranged by Meng Qingzhou, everyone said goodbye. Old Meng left Ning Hao alone. This guy has nothing to do next year. He plans to let Ning Hao join the crew of "The Grandmaster" so that multiple people can relax;
"Isn't Xue Xiaolu the assistant director? You still asked me to go?"
"How about you be an executive director? My buddy does not care about the cost this time, and it is a rare opportunity!"
Only Ning Hao was present, Tianxian and the others had nothing to be afraid of. After using dinner upstairs, they all walked down;
"Tsk, it sounds nice, I just want to be lazy, okay, I'll have nothing to do next year, I can't lose my salary, I haven't paid off my mortgage yet!"
Ning Hao didn't refuse much, he could not only support his qualifications, but also make money. This is a good thing!
After seeing Ning Hao off, Meng Qingzhou fell on the sofa exhausted. In the afternoon, none of the people in this group were good at it, and it took his boss's attention;
"Why, tired?"
Yaya pushed Xiaoyu to sit next to him and asked softly;
The beauty looked up at the pretty face of flying clouds, her almond eyes showed a lustful luster, her nose was small and bright, and her plump rosy cherry lips were like ripe lychees, making people want to take a bite.
The white teeth are like jade shells by the sea, the dimples are like small pools, wandering with charming autumn waves, and the faint jasmine fragrance exudes an endless mature woman's style.
"Have you recovered from a cold in the little fish?"
"You still know how to care about your daughter, and you know how to make movies every day." Tong Liya complained and said, lifting the curtain of the stroller, Xiaoyu leaned over her body obediently and slept soundly;
Meng Qingzhou gently brushed his fingers across Xiaoyu's forehead, and then pulled the curtain;
"I will go to Harbin in two days. What should I do when Xiaoyu is going to do? Should you take her to the crew or stay at home?"
Yaya was worried that their voices would make Xiaoyu disturb her, so she pushed the stroller away. "Of course I have to take it to the crew. I haven't been weaned yet. I'll open a separate room for my aunt and Zhou Tong, which reporters probably wouldn't guess."
Lao Meng nodded, and this was the only way;
"Xixi, aren't you watching a movie? How about it, Mr. Tree is not bad, right?"
Tianxian and Xiaogu decided to start the evening game. Suddenly, he heard Qingzhou ask her and scratched the back of his head cutely: "Baoliang is not handsome. We chose the female general of the Yang family to watch. Big boat. Your vision is not good. You can actually take such a movie home. It's so eye-catching. Xiaogu and I almost fell asleep!"
Appearance determines everything, and this whole family is all about face-based people. Brother Qiang is indeed a bit shabby in this regard;
Meng Qingzhou stood up, turned his head, and asked, "Who accompanied me to watch the movie?"
Tong Liya handed the child to the aunt, stood in front of him with a smile, and accepted his invitation;
The rest of them naturally would not miss it. They each went to get some drinks, fruits, etc., and went to the screening room together;
"Miss Xiaogu, why do I think the uncle is in a good mood? Aren't those things very annoying in the afternoon?"
Little round face held a bottle of red wine and took the girl's arm: "What a great afternoon, of course I was in a good mood. Didn't you see Mr. Han pointing at him for help? Your uncle is now awesome!"
"Tsk, it seems like you are my aunt, Sister Xiaogu, you are learning bad things now!"
Mimi leaned over and said, "Who is the aunt? We don't have this name, Xiaogu, are you going to upgrade?"
"Go and go, you are everywhere. I talk to Xiaodi, it's not your business. After you give birth to a child, let's talk about what you call me!"
"Then some of you have been waiting. Don't you say that the emperor loves the eldest son and the people love the young? I'm going to take care of the children in the end, so there's no hurry!"
Xixi hummed twice, and the banana in her hand skipped over the little fox's chest: "I don't believe you can be later than Reba. In a few years, Yaya and Zixuan's children will be older. You are just waiting to be bullied!"
