Director, please respect yourself

We were friends and good brothers in my previous life!

They have been partners in this life. Yang Hao made a rough calculation and has collaborated with Zhang Yimou on six films so far, from the original "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" to the animated film "Nezha: The Devil Boy" which was released some time ago. Coming to the World".

Therefore, both emotionally and logically, Yang Hao felt that he should take on the movie "Return".

As for why Zhang Yimou abandoned Chen Daoming and instead used someone of his age who is more than ten years younger than the heroine Gong Li to play the role of Lu Yanshi?

Yang Hao has also thought about this problem.

For a large reason, I have become a box office guarantee in the current Chinese film and television industry. Since his debut, no matter whether it is a movie he starred in or a movie directed, he has never failed at the box office.

Therefore, with Yang Hao as the leading actor, the film's investors felt particularly at ease.

22 Yuan Street Art District

Located in the CBD section of the East Third Ring Road of Beijing's First Business Avenue, it is the location of Zhang Yimou's film studio. After he broke up with Zhang Weiping of Xin Picture Film Company, he set up his office here.

Not only Zhang Yimou, but also famous entertainers in the industry, such as Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yuan, Lu Chuan, Guan Hu, Li Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi, Fan Jiuyi, Wang Fei and others have all set up their studios here.

The reason why everyone sets up camp here is, firstly, because celebrities and artists like to get together, and everyone can exchange resources nearby if they have any projects; secondly, the transportation here is really convenient, and the main road is the East Third Ring Road. In addition, it is surrounded by Xidawang Road, Tonghui Hebei Road, and Guangqu Road, and Guomao Station of Metro Line 1 and Metro Line 10 connect the north and south sides.

When Yang Hao arrived here, it was 9 o'clock in the morning on the second day.

Because there is a script discussion meeting today, Zhang Yimou will be the keynote speaker. He will focus on deconstructing the plot and lines of the movie script "Return". By the way, he will also communicate the official start date and shooting schedule of the movie.

As for signing the performance contract...

Not to mention, since the filming of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", it seems that Yang Hao and Zhang Yimou have never signed any contract between themselves?

Even when the two co-directed "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" some time ago, they only mentioned it but did not implement it into specific actions.

In a sense, this relationship is the most reliable. Taking "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" as an example, Zhang Yimou worked for 7 months, and Yang Hao paid him a director's fee of 70 million yuan.

Zhang Yimou didn't say too much or too little, just one sentence, you give it to me and I'll take it.

After getting off the car, Yang Hao was thinking about his relationship with Zhang Yimou. From the shadow next to him, an older beauty walked out. The beauty was wearing black wide-leg trousers and a white short-sleeved T-shirt. This is The white short-sleeved T-shirt was tight and made her look billowy.

If the white T-shirt is loose, then the dressing style will be in line with the singing queen Wang Fei.

"Yang Hao, morning!"

After saying hello to Yang Hao, Gong Li reached out and took the initiative to hold his arm, her movements smooth and natural.

"It's getting late."

Yang Hao smiled and walked with Gong Li to the LOFT studio on the 12th floor. Zhang Yimou's film studio is on the 12th floor of this building. It is said that the studio has an excellent view.

"Sister Gong Li, it's already 9 o'clock now. If it were my crew, they would have been working for two hours now."

"Oh, that's true."

Having just collaborated with Yang Hao on the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Gong Li still remembers his method of managing the crew.

"Yang Hao..."

"Um?"

"Do you know why director Zhang Yimou is so anxious to start filming this movie?"

"Know!

He told me on the phone and said that he checked on the Internet and found that I was only available from July to October. "When he arrived at the elevator entrance, Yang Hao smiled and pressed the up button of the elevator.

"This is just one of the reasons." After talking about this, Gong Li looked around and saw that no one was around, so she lowered her voice and said: "The other reason is that I took the initiative to tell Zhang Yimou that I was pregnant and it was a test-tube baby. .

After the child was born, I immediately quit the film industry, so he sped up his action. He wanted to finish reading the script today and the crew would rush to start shooting tomorrow. "

"oh…"

Yang Hao's response was a bit bland.

What do you mean? Why is there no expression of surprise or fear on his face, as if he is afraid of being with me?

Seeing Yang Hao's lackluster reaction, Gong Li became a little angry. She walked into the elevator and was about to get angry with the little man in front of her. At this moment, someone walked into the elevator.

"Hello director, my name is Guo Tao."

The visitor was polite, and when he stepped into the elevator, he stretched out his hands directly to Yang Hao and bent his waist at 90 degrees.

"Brother Guo, you're welcome."

Yang Hao had no choice but to extend his hands to him and bend his waist at 90 degrees.

"Director, I'm so rude.

In a sense, you are my idol. "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" has raised the level of our Chinese animation movies to the same level as Hollywood.

Well, also, before, who could have imagined that a Hollywood icon like Tom Hanks could actually star in a movie directed by us Chinese people.

Now you do it. "

Be humble and polite, and speak sincerely.

Sitting in the same elevator, Gong Li also felt very happy when she heard Guo Tao complimenting Yang Hao.

Okay, praise me, praise me.

One thing you may not know is that the handsome man in front of you is the father of the child in my belly.

But what Gong Li didn't expect was that when the three of them arrived on the 12th floor and stepped out of the elevator, Yang Hao started talking about strange things in the industry.

"Sister Gong Li, brother Guo Tao, I had the opportunity to have dinner with Ma Wei, who is a collector, some time ago. He told me a story at the dinner table, and I think I need to tell it to you.

Ma Weidu said that back then, when he was a newspaper editor, he went to a PEN meeting and lived with the writers for a month before he discovered something. Generally speaking, writers are busy writing in the morning, and it is during lunch that they have the opportunity to talk.

At that time, Wang Shuo was not very familiar with Liu Zhenyun and did not know how talkative he was.

During the meal on the first day, Liu Zhenyun began to praise Wang Shuo and said that Mr. Wang, you wrote novels well. Wang Shuo replied that it was nothing good and was written blindly.

The next day, Liu Zhenyun said again: Teacher Wang, your novels are indeed good. Wang Shuo replied: "No, I really can't write well, it's just bullshit. Your novel is also good."

On the third day, Liu Zhenyun stopped lifting at first and ate indiscriminately. Before putting down the bowl, he continued to lift: "Teacher Wang's novel is really good, so good that I don't need it. Who can tell me that I can't help it?"

At this time, Wang Shuo finally changed his mind and said: My novel is good. Who can say that it is not good? I am too lazy to talk to him.

Then, Liu Zhenyun turned his head and said to Ma Wei proudly behind his back: Look, most people can't bear the promotion for three days. "

At this point in the story, Yang Hao suddenly stopped, smiled and said to Guo Tao: "Brother Guo Tao, how many days do you think I can last in the face of such flattery?"

"Well…"
