Chapter 361 361, Xiamen Journey 2
The food is removed and the tea is served!
Originally there were eight people dining together, but now there are only three left. Zeng Li is on the left, Zhang Yimou is on the right, and the host Zhao Benshan is sitting in the middle.
In fact, Zhao Benshan also wanted to leave, but as soon as he stood up, Zhang Yimou forced him to sit down again.
Of course, you can understand it if you think about it.
Zhang Yimou and Zeng Li, one is an internationally renowned director, and the other is a young and beautiful actress. This combination is very easy to cause scandals. If they are left alone together again, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Got it!
You know, Zeng Li's boyfriend is Sun Hao, a film director whose international influence is no less than that of Zhang Yimou.
"Zeng Li, I want to ask you a favor?" Zhang Yimou spoke first.
"Director, tell me."
"You..., can you ask Sun Hao to help me write a horror-thriller movie script?" Although he was a little embarrassed, Zhang Yimou gritted his teeth and told his true thoughts.
"Oh ah…"
Zeng Li was surprised.
It's not that I was surprised why Zhang Yimou asked Sun Hao for a script, but I didn't understand why he would go around in a circle and find Sun Hao through himself.
With his relationship with Sun Hao, he could just ask for it directly.
Take Jiang Wen, for example, he is very direct. He likes the script "The Martian", so he will keep chanting behind Sun Hao, "If you don't agree to let me act, I will keep chanting until you get annoyed."
No, Sun Hao was so annoyed that he gave him the leading role in "Moon".
An actor has to perform three different "selves" in the same scene. Such a difficult performance naturally made Jiang Wen extremely happy.
This kind of role can reflect my acting skills!
…
Seeing that Zeng Li was in a daze and didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Yimou became a little anxious. He tapped his fingers on the table and said:
"Zeng Li, tell the truth!
In the past two years, horror and thriller movies written and directed by Sun Hao have been a hit in the international market. The global box office has increased from US$100 million to US$400 million now.
And this has aroused the envy of some people and spawned many follow-up works.
Something like "Handsaw", "Chainsaw", "Cut Saw", something like "Hello Kunjiam", "Meet Kunjiam Again", "Gonjiam's Past", etc. What are "Death, don't leave", "Death, are you coming yet", "Death, if you have the guts, stay"...
Among them, my partner Zhang Weiping also found several screenwriters to create similar scripts. I read them and were not satisfied with them. "
so what?
Zeng Li wanted to ask, but before he could say anything, he saw Zhang Yimou wave his hand.
"Zeng Li, please listen to me first.
"Happy Days", which is the movie we are filming now, has a budget of 6 million, and 4 million has been paid before the start of filming. Now that we are halfway through filming, it stands to reason that the old picture company should transfer money to the crew's books.
But after waiting for several days, not only did the follow-up funds not arrive, I even couldn’t get through Zhang Weiping’s phone.
During this period, Wei Ping's secretary called me and said that Mr. Zhang had received a movie script "The King of Hell Arrives" some time ago. He liked it very much and hoped that I would consider it. "
After hearing this, Zeng Li finally understood. It turns out that the director was manipulated by his investors, and the reason was that Sun Hao made money, which made his investor Zhang Weiping jealous.
"Then...director, why don't you talk to Sun Hao yourself?" Zeng Li asked tentatively.
"Zeng Li, you may not know that on the night when "Saw" was completed, Sun Hao came to me and asked me to give him advice.
After watching the movie for about ten minutes, I told him that I am not very interested in horror and thriller movies..."
"Well…"
Zeng Li didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. It turned out that the director was also afraid of being slapped in the face? !
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Dangdangdang..."
"Come in."
"Eh..., Ziyi?"
Seeing Zhang Ziyi, Zeng Li was very surprised. Didn't the head teacher Chang say that students who don't have filming should stay in the capital as much as possible before graduation?
Although the graduation drama is the TV series "Mountains and Seas", everyone still has to perform a play in the experimental theater the night before leaving school.
"Well... hello director, hello Teacher Zhao, hello Zeng Li. I was entrusted by my classmate Sun Hao to come and visit your class."

a drink
It started at ten in the morning and ended at three in the afternoon.
During this period, Yu Chengdong only went to the toilet once. The rest of the time, he sat respectfully opposite Sun Hao and kept taking notes on his laptop.
The content of Sun Hao's chat was very complicated and intermittent, covering everything from the functions of mobile phones, to the appearance design, to the future development direction of mobile phones...
And these are said to be based on his imagination and analysis.
Of course, Yu Chengdong has no doubts about Sun Hao's imagination, because the movie "Death Comes 2" directed and written by him has currently reached a global box office of 392 million US dollars. It would be impossible to do it without some real skills in the belly.
"Okay, Lao Yu, let's stop talking today." Naturally, he couldn't finish all the things he had in his stomach at once, even though Yu Chengdong was now the mainstay that he relied on in the future.
"okay!"
At this moment, Yu Chengdong's face no longer had the arrogance he had in the morning. What he had was only respect. This young director, who was eight years younger than him, really wanted to make some achievements?
"Mr. Sun, I'll take you there!"
Seeing that Sun Hao was about to go out, Yu Chengdong stood up.
"No, you're busy. I'll go out for a walk."
Sun Hao waved his hand and went downstairs very easily.
The buddy's choice was still right. Although Yu Chengdong was a little younger at this time, he was absolutely capable. Even if he didn't have his own God's perspective, he immediately pointed out the development dilemma of China's semiconductors.
The original Shenglong Paper Industry, which covers an area of 500 acres, is indeed not small in area and scale. It is divided into three areas: front, middle and back. The front area is the papermaking workshop, the middle is the employee living area, and the back area is the material yard.
At present, only the front and middle areas have been used by Damai Technology, many papermaking workshops after the transformation, and the living area that has not been moved.
As for the huge material yard to the north of the living area, according to Yu Chengdong's idea, he plans to build a mobile phone test center, design center and R&D center next year.
When he received Zeng Li's call, Sun Hao was walking in the material yard full of straw, followed by Li Bingbing, who was in a women's suit and about to cry.
"Hello..., Li Li?"
"Haozi, I love you!"
"Uh..."
Faced with this sudden confession, Sun Hao was like a monk who was at a loss.
"Hehe..., Haozi, are you shocked?
"Shocked" is right, who told you to come to visit the set without even saying hello?"
