Director’s Legend

After the interview that day, Liu Yifei was picked up by Liu Xiaoli, and Shao Shuaijun stayed in the crew of "People on the Road" for two more days, and then flew to the capital. Zhang Yimou has already called and asked Shao Shuaijun to join the crew of "The Love of Hawthorn Tree" and start the selection of the heroine.

Today, Shao Shuaijun’s reputation has been extraordinary. In order to win Shao Shuaijun, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping generously offered a 5% box office share, and only the screenwriter of Shao Shuaijun’s famous film was required to participate in the casting work. The five percent share is a bit high for screenwriters. Even if it is a big name, maybe two people think that a literary film will not have a high box office. It doesn't matter if you give it more.

Shao Shuaijun can only snicker. This is a movie that broke the box office record of a literary film, with a box office of more than one billion. Even if the box office has shrunk a few years in advance, at least it will cost tens of millions of box office, and one point will never be less than one million. So I accepted the invitation very happily.

Another reason is that Shao Shuaijun wanted to promote the early screening of "The Hawthorn Tree Love". At that time, the real original Amy would no longer be written, and there would be no drama of Li Gui hitting Li Kui.

Zhang Weiping personally picked up the plane at the airport. He was Zhang Yimou’s old partner. He started a new picture film company together and invested exclusively in Zhang Yimou’s films, one as a director and one as a producer. He has collaborated on many big-selling movies, such as "Hero" and "Ambush on Ten Sides".

At New Picture Company, Shao Shuaijun met Zhang Yimou and other crew members. Everyone is polite, and then enters the topic, discussing the candidate of the heroine. Other roles are easy to choose, but the heroine is not easy to choose. After all, the heroine is too pure and too young, and is a perfect image.

Deputy director Zang Qiwu first mentioned a selection: "Director Zhang and Director Shao, I think Sun Li is good. The peace of mind in "Jade Guanyin" is very well performed. It is a piece of jade that can be qualified for the role of Jingqiu."

"What do you think, Xiao Shao?" Zhang Yimou asked.

Shao Shuaijun recalled the role in the movie and shook his head: "Sun Li has great potential, but I always feel a bit more aggressive and less tactful." Perhaps it is the future influence of "Zhen Huan", Shao Shuaijun always feels that Sun Li It's tough.

"What about Li Xiaolu?" Another deputy director Fu Lulu asked.

Zhang Yimou shook his head: "No way, no way, eyes are too big, it feels very abstract painting, can't play the kind of green, quiet and pure of Jingqiu."

"Where is Gao Yuanyuan?"

"The "Eight Dragon Slayer" in the previous year destroyed her image, which is not appropriate."

"What about Liu Yifei?" Shao Shuaijun raised a mouth.

Zhang Yimou frowned again: "The temperament is very similar. The key is that Liu Yifei's acting skills are too rigid, and he has received American education, and can't reflect the atmosphere of the 70s. If Ziyi can be ten years younger, I really hope she will play Jingqiu. This role. Alas, it’s hard to find the little beauties nowadays. There are a few images that match, and the result is a mess of private life. I look awkward, let alone the audience, what are you talking about?"

"It may be that the beautiful women didn't marry handsome guys, and they didn't cultivate the next generation properly." Zang Qiwu said with a smile.

Soon, Dong Jie was a little shorter and Huang Shengyi became a little bit foreign. These two people who were more consistent were eliminated again. Shao Shuaijun also felt a little troublesome. Lao Mouzi was really a picky person. He wanted to introduce the original Zhou Dongyu, but now Zhou Dongyu is only fourteen years old, and his donkey lips are wrong.

Suddenly, thinking of someone, Shao Shuaijun said, "Director Zhang, everyone, what do you think of Zhang Jingchu?"

"Zhang Jingchu? You mean the little girl in "Peacock"?" Zang Qiwu's eyes lit up.

To say that Zhang Jingchu is really suitable for the role of Jingqiu. She was born in an ordinary worker's family in the mountainous area. She graduated from the Chinese Opera Directing Department. This year, she was eye-catching with "Peacock" at the Berlin Film Festival, with her quiet and gentle temperament , Very charming, is known as another girl with the potential of an international star since Zhang Ziyi.

Right now, Zhang Yimou asked someone to bring the videotape of "Peacock", and everyone watched Zhang Jingchu's performance together for almost half an hour. Zhang Yimou decided, "Jingqiu is her!"

After finishing the selection of Jingqiu, even if the crew of "The Hawthorn Tree Love" was alive, Shao Shuaijun did not continue to stay. Li Xiuxiu sent a message from Japan and he needed him to go there in person. The negotiations over there were deadlocked, and Shao Shuaijun nodded for many things. To go to Japan, Shao Shuaijun had to find someone who understands Japanese to accompany him. He originally planned to let sloppy help contact the students of the School of Foreign Languages. Who knows that he volunteered, he was studying in Japan back then and he was familiar with Japan.

At the moment, the two of them went to Japan and went to the headquarters of AVEX in Tokyo with the people who came to pick up the plane. AVEX is the future ABEX Group, but the current translation of AVEX in Greater China is "艾回", and it has not been changed to ABEX.

To say that many people are not familiar with AVEX, but an artist under this company is absolutely familiar. This is the pop star Ayumi Hamasaki, Japan's most successful female singer, and of course there is another one who should be more familiar, Namie Amuro. As early as 2002, AVEX began to get involved in the music of Hong Kong and Treasure Island. However, in recent years, the music industry has become increasingly sluggish, and AVEX has begun planning to enter the Chinese mainland.

At AVEX's headquarters, Shao Shuaijun met several key figures in this negotiation, sister Hua Wang Jinhua, boss Wu Kebo of the magic capital Zhihong, and Takashi Araki, senior director and international minister of AVEX.

For the Japanese, Shao Shuaijun has no liking, and he is even more disgusted with the Japanese group's entry into the mainland market. However, Shao Shuaijun cannot stop the establishment of Dengtian Entertainment. His current purpose is to intervene in the film and television project and cut off the tentacles of AVEX from the film and television.

As for music, Shao Shuaijun didn't care about it.

The first day was just a meeting, and there was no substantive discussion. Araki Ryuuji cared a little about Shao Shuaijun's intervention, and acted very coldly. However, Wu Kebo showed great welcome to Shao Shuaijun. If possible, he does not want the new company to be monopolized by Japanese funds.

Wu Kebo invaded Japan in his early years, and he is most famous for leading Tetsuya Komuro into the music market, earning a lot of money for himself, and he can reach hundreds of millions when he is full.

"Director Shao, I watched the "Source Code" and it was really good. In the future, when a new company is established, we must rely more on a talented person like Director Shao."

"I don't dare to be a great man. If everyone cooperates, I want to make money." Shao Shuaijun laughed. Li Xiuxiu had already revealed that Wu Kebo doesn't need to talk about anything else. As long as money is mentioned, there will be endless topics. Typical Speculative businessman.

"That's, that's, in China, who doesn't know that Director Shao is a cash cow. A few movies will not make less money. I must agree with Director Shao to join the negotiation. I sincerely hope that Director Shao can intervene. Among them, otherwise I am afraid that I will become a migrant worker for Ai Hui."

"Mr. Wu is modest. So, Sister Hua, how about the three of us first to discuss? Compared with Ai Hui, we are all weak, but we unite and occupy the home court, and Ai Hui can't please."

"Just to my liking, go, Sister Hua, Director Shao, Manager Li, Director Ma (sloppy), I know a good restaurant in Tokyo, everyone eats and talks."
