Since 1983

"It's really not you?"

"no no!"

"It has nothing to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter! How could Hong Kong people listen to me? I was also frightened and stupid at the time, and I was at a loss and didn't dare to say anything.

Ouch, you said that this incident has become a big deal, and it will have a bad influence on the crew. Fortunately, Producer Lu understands righteousness, and the light of righteousness shines on the earth..."

Take care of your papa!

Jiang Wen let go of him, always suspecting that there was something tricky in it, and the Hong Kong staff are now honest like grandchildren.

"Hmph, vulgar!"

Xu Fei brushed his shoulders and walked into a room. Jiang Wen blinked and followed in to join in the fun. Inside was Guo Baochang who hurried over after hearing the news.

He was 56 years old, his voice was powerful and eager.

"I heard from Yimou that you want to read the script?"

"I'm not busy reading the script, let's talk first, and want to hear your creative ideas."

"Oh, yes, yes."

Guo Baochang put the script aside, and Jiang Wen picked it up casually, "I have a complicated background, maybe you all know that "The Gate of the Mansion" was written based on Tong Ren Tang Le Jia.

Because it involved a lot of so-called "family scandals", my mother didn't want me to do it, but I wrote four drafts of this thing, and it was burned three times. It took about 40 years.

I'm not afraid of your jokes, it has already become a heart problem for me, and I will die with regret if I don't take pictures of it. "

"Understandable, please speak slowly."

Xu Fei poured a cup of tea for him, and the other party took a sip, and said slowly: "Many characters have prototypes, like the leading actor Bai Jingqi, who is my adoptive father Le Jingyu.

Unruly since childhood, with a flamboyant personality, he was self-taught and later became a master of the generation. Hongjitang was founded by him.

Like Second Grandma Bai again, I combined the characteristics of my great-grandmother, grandmother and adoptive mother. And Bai Yuting, I call her Twelfth Gu, is obsessed with Mr. Mei Lanfang.

When I listened to the opera, I brought a jewelry box, and when I was happy, I threw it up one by one. Later, I married Mei Lanfang's photo, which caused a sensation.

But to avoid taboo, I changed Tongrentang to Baicao Hall, and Sifangtou to Sanfangtou..."

Guo Baochang talked about "The Mansion Gate" endlessly, Xu Fei listened to the story, and finally asked: "Then who are the actors you hired for this film?"

"Bai Jingqi is Chen Baoguo. I have watched all his film and television works, and no one is more suitable than him. The second grandma is my wife, played by Liu Gege."

"Excuse me, does she have any works?"

"She came from the Peking Opera Theater and mainly filmed TV series with me. She is 41 years old this year. I think she is very suitable for the second grandmother."

Guo Baochang looked at the other party's expression, and continued: "The third master Bai Yingyu, originally planned to ask Li Chengru to act, he is good at plays, understands this, and he is an old BJ at first glance.

However, I heard that there was no time to film "Six Serious Cases".

Yang Jiuhong is Jiang Wenli, it's great to play that prostitute in "Farewell My Concubine"! It's a pity that I haven't played yet, the play is yellow..."

"Fuck, this show is good!"

The two were chatting, and Jiang Wen, who was reading the script, suddenly slapped the table: "Master Guo, what do you think of me playing Bai Lao Qi?"

"you?"

Guo Baochang was taken aback, and was about to decline politely, when Xu Fei waved his hand: "What do you think?"

"Three points! First, I will list the existing well-known actresses. No one can play the second grandmother. They must be recruited on the list and screened one by one.

Second, each episode costs at least 800,000 yuan, and the scene must be set up according to the original gate of the mansion.

Third, even a small role with a few lines of lines can't be played by scratching your head, you must use first-class actors. "

"..."

"..."

"Go ahead." Xu Fei motioned.

"Well, that's about all I have to say."

Guo Baochang's rhythm is quite fragmented.

In fact, in history, after "The Gate of the Mansion" died, another investor came in and called Jiang Wen to play it. After talking about it a few times, it turned out to be futile.

"Then let me tell you."

Xu Fei thought for a while and said, "Although I haven't read the script, Director Zhang strongly recommends it to me, and many people recommend it to me after hearing the news. I think it must be a good show.

Listening to what you said just now confirms this idea even more.

What Lao Jiang said is right, if you want to shoot, you should shoot the best ones. I have a small film and television city in the south, and I will build a big house first. "

"Ouch……"

Guo Baochang got up excitedly.

"You sit and you sit. As for the actors, I think Chen Baoguo and Li Chengru are good. After Jiang Wenli thinks about it, I think He Saifei is also good."

"He Saifei? No no! First of all, this is an old Beijing drama, and her accent can't pass, and she has the temperament of a Jiangnan woman, too weak."

Guo Baochang had a special love for Yang Jiuhong, saying: "She was originally an aunt of the Le family. When I entered the mansion, she was already very old, but she was still not accepted.

No one wants to talk to her, only I can chat with her. Every time I leave school, she looks forward to my passing. But as long as I chat for a long time, my adoptive mother will not be happy, shouting outside at the top of her voice, 'What is there to talk about with that old Yao sister? '

She is a very sad and heavy character, and I think Jiang Wenli can handle it well. "

"Well, let's not argue, let He Saifei come over one day, and try for a while."

Xu Fei interrupted him and said, "The most important thing is Second Mistress, with all due respect, any actor with a bit of character is in my mind.

With the complexity and richness of this role, I'm afraid your wife won't be able to handle it. "

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he said again: "It's a good show, I want it, first build the gate of the mansion, and then talk about it after it's over."

"..."

Guo Baochang opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. He knew that he had to make some compromises when he was looking for investment.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly sat down and said, "One more thing, I transferred the copyright to the company in Shencheng."

"That is to say, I have to buy it back first?"

"Well……"

He was a little ashamed, and said: "We negotiated a fee of 500,000 yuan, but the company didn't pay it. This contract should not be established, right?"

"I'll let the lawyer talk about it, you don't have to worry about it."

That's it.

Xu Fei was standing in the corridor of Xijiao Hotel, the window was half open, and the cold wind was blowing on his face, which made him look very energetic.

From 1996 to 2000, Guo Baochang met more than 80 investors, but all failed. Later, when I met a noble person from CCTV who knew the pearls, it was filmed solely by CCTV.

"The Mansion Gate", haven't you seen it?

It has to work well. In the past, "Heroes with White Eyebrows" was known as the "King of Drama" in the era of barbaric growth. In another two years, the foundation of the TV drama industry has been laid and flourished, and he will be the real "drama king".

He wants to break a record.

...

In the blink of an eye, on November 2, "Sweet Honey" will be released.

Chen Kexin and Zhang Manyu asked for leave and went back to catch up with the premiere. The critics praised it, but it was not a mainstream commercial film after all, and the box office was mediocre, and it ended up taking more than 10 million yuan.

Xu Fei also went to Wu Mengchen to get a spot for "Sweet Honey" to be introduced next year, mainly to make the two of them make a public appearance in the Mainland.

Because the greater the fame of the main creator of "The Wind", the better, and the easier it is to promote commercially.

When the two of them come back, it will be winter in the capital, and "The Wind" will start.
