Rebirth 2003
Chapter 576: Good luck
Who is Li Rengang?
In 1979, he went to Canada to study communication and minor in visual arts. In 1983, he returned to Hong Kong and worked as an associate director at ATV at the time. "One-armed Sword", Li Lianjie's version of "Black Man", "Xingyue Fairy Tale" starring Zhang Guorong, "A Hu" starring Liu Dehua, 2001-2002 was invited by the American film company to France to shoot the action film "" , The 2005 action film "Raptors", released by Warner Corporation worldwide, is considered a breakthrough that year, and "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon" in 2008. This film not only has Liu Dehua, but also Hong Jinbao's big-name star.
These are all the information that Lu Yang can find on the Internet. In the original time and space, his works also include "Jinyiwei" and "Hongmen Banquet". If Lu Yangneng is reborn two years later, he will also know that "The Lion of Heaven" starring Cheng Long is also He directed it.
Although Lu Yang feels that he is not as famous as Zhang Yimou, Du Qifeng and others, he can definitely be regarded as a powerful director.
After finding Li Rengang's past qualifications on the Internet, Lu Yang felt a lot of chills, thinking that Wang Lin would contact him and he had little hope of success.
This is a big director who no longer needs to prove his strength. His new film, based on the script of "Jinyiwei", should not be difficult to get enough investment.
Unexpectedly, the good news came much earlier than Lu Yang expected.
It was only two days since Lu Yang asked Wang Lin on the phone to find out if Li Rengang had a script recently and what the name of the script was. Wang Lin called to Lu Yang and said: Li Rengang did have a movie script called "Jinyiwei" recently, and I heard that Li Rengang was investing everywhere recently. There is no news about this matter in the outside world, but it is in the film and television industry. But it was not a mystery, Wang Lin sent someone to inquire and inquired.
When I received this call, it was around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Yang was writing the script of "You from the Star", a computer, a teapot with purple sand, a stack of newly bought draft paper, a pencil, and Lu Yang. Yang wrote the outline of the drama with a pencil on the manuscript paper.
The weather outside is very red. In such an afternoon, I can concentrate on my own things quietly indoors, for Lu Yang. It's a treat.
After receiving a call from Wang Lin, when he heard the good news, Lu Yang chuckled. Wang Lin asked him what he was laughing at? Lu Yang said to him over the phone: "Hurry, immediately, and contact Li Rengang as quickly as possible! Express our interest in this script. He is investing everywhere at this time. I think... we will give him money. , He should be interested?"
On the other side of the phone, Wang Lin was silent for a moment after hearing the words, and then asked the doubts in his mind: "Wen University! You asked me to find out if this Li Rengang has a script recently. I checked his information online, um, I admit this. The director’s qualifications are really awesome, I didn’t know him before. I was ignorant! I have seen several of his movies, but... Wenda! No new film by a director is bound to make money. This Li Rengang information is Niu. Force! But you just know the name of his script called "Jinyiwei". You haven't seen it before, so you want to invest in this movie. Isn't it a bit sloppy? Should we ask him to send us a copy of the script? , Let’s take a look at the script first?"
Lu Yang's phone stuck to his ear. With a refreshing smile, he got up and walked to the balcony. The warm sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the balcony sheds his face, very comfortable. Lu Yang squinted his eyes comfortably, looking at the bustling Shanghai outside the glass windows, listening to Wang Lin said on the phone that he wanted to read the script of "Jinyiwei" first, but Lu Yang refused without thinking.
"No! Lin Zi! I believe this movie will be successful. At this time, we can't waste even one day. Once Li Rengang has enough investment, then we will not be able to squeeze in if we want to invest! Even if he still does it for a while Not enough investment. During our hesitation, one more investor may reduce our investment ratio! Contact him immediately! If you are really worried, you can invest less this time, or I will not invest. No objection, but I must invest! Linzi, do you understand what I mean?".
On the other side of the phone, Wang Lin was still puzzled. He didn't know where Lu Yang's confidence came from. Had he already read the script of "Jinyiwei" in advance?
But, two days ago, he also asked me to find out if Li Rengang had a script recently and what the name of the script was.
A forehead was puzzled, but Lu Yang said this. Although Wang Lin felt very strange, he still agreed on the phone.
……
On the balcony of Lu Yang's residence, Lu Yang, who squinted his eyes and was bathed in the warm sun, put down his phone, a smile on the corner of his mouth was very bright, and he could faintly hear him whisper to himself: "Li Rengang..."Jin Yiwei"... almost reaching the bowl Come here!"
In a word to himself, Lu Yang stretched out a comfortable waist, then turned back to the study and continued to write the script of "You from the Star".
The rustle of pencil writing on the manuscript paper resounded in the study on this sunny afternoon.
……
Lu Yang and Wang Lin’s Ugly Lin Film Company is not large, but when three movies and one TV series are produced, there are naturally some employees in the company. Those with the first-round broadcast rights belong to the employees of Choulin Film Company.
On the phone, Lu Yang asked Wang Lin to contact Li Rengang immediately, but Wang Lin was unable to do so, because he only asked if Li Rengang currently has a script, and if there is a script, what is the name of the script? .
As for the contact information of Li Rengang, he did not order, and no one took the initiative to inquire. He searched on the Internet, and there was no personal contact information in the information about Li Rengang on the Internet.
Therefore, before carrying out Lu Yang's instructions, Wang Lin could only let the people below find the contact information of Li Rengang as quickly as possible. If he could find the phone number of the other party, that would be the best.
after the order is passed on. Wang Lin moved in his heart and thought of a great director he could contact Yuan Xuan.
Yuan Xuan is Hong Kong's number one martial arts instructor. There is also the title of a famous director, and Li Rengang is a member of the Hong Kong director circle. There should be Li Rengang's contact information.
Moreover, if Yuan Xuan can't reach Li Rengang there, Wang Lin still has a few candidates in his mind, that is Zhao Wenzhuo, Xiong Xinxin, Luo Xiao, Chen Guanxuan, Liang Xiaolong and others.
Most of these people are veterans in the Hong Kong film and television industry. Wang Lin believes that there are so many people, and there is no reason that none of them have Li Rengang's contact information.
Just do it when he thinks of it, and Wang Lin immediately took out his cell phone and called Yuan Xuan.
Facts have proved that his brain is very correct. Wang Lin mentioned it on the phone. On the phone, Yuan Xuan smiled heartily: "Do you want Agang's contact information? Haha! It's easy! I'll send you his private mobile number right away!"
He first gave Wang Lin a reassurance pill, and then Yuan Xuan curiously said: "Mr. Wang! What do you do with Agang’s contact information? Do you want to ask Agang to help you shoot a new film? I kindly remind you, I heard that Ah Hong Kong is currently investing in a book, and I am afraid that there will be no time to help you direct a new film!"
From Yuan Xuan's hearty words, Wang Lin could feel the heart and mind of the director of Yuanta University. He obviously did not feel any dissatisfaction because Wang Lin was looking for Li Rengang instead of looking for him to make a new film.
In terms of character. This is the director of Yuanta, but from another aspect, firstly, the director of Yuanta is not young anymore. I have earned enough money in my life, and I don’t care much about my chances of directing one more or one less movie. Secondly. With his reputation in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the mainland, it is impossible for him to lack job opportunities. Even if no one is looking for him to direct, someone will ask him to do martial arts instructor.
a little later. Probably the most important reason.
Seeing that Yuan Xuan had a misunderstanding, even though he did not hear the unhesitating emotion from his voice on the phone, Wang Lin immediately explained: This time I was looking for Director Li and not asking him to make a movie. He and Lu Yang also knew about Director Li. Recently, they are investing in a movie. What he and Lu Yang want is to participate in the investment of that movie.
Wang Lin's explanation, I don't know if the director of Yuanta has written it or not. Anyway, within a minute of the end of the call, Wang Lin received a mobile phone number from him.
……
Sometimes things really happen to happen!
Li Rengang's qualifications are indeed box office, but his script "Jinyiwei" this time tells a martial arts story that took place in the Ming Dynasty.
Before the film was shot, investors could not be sure whether the film was a good or bad film. Not everyone has a "forward" vision like Lu Yang.
The traditional martial arts film has developed into the 21st century and has long since declined, even though the script of "Jinyiwei" is very good! But are the major film companies lacking excellent screenplays?
Many people think that film companies often make bad movies because they don’t have good scripts!
Of course this is not the case!
There are hundreds of millions of Chinese, so many people who write Chinese characters can't write a few good books? What the film company really lacks is actually a director who can perfectly display a good book!
The script of "Jinyiwei" is good, and Li Rengang has a solid background. It stands to reason that he wants to invest, and some film companies are willing to invest.
But if it breaks, the production budget proposed by Li Rengang is too high!
How high is ?
more than 100 million!
spent more than 100 million to shoot a costume martial arts film, even if the script quality of "Jin Yiwei" is good, and Li Rengang's director skills are also good, it still makes people feel little confidence.
Since the birth of the movie, in which year have there been not many popular but not popular movies?
That is to say, in many cases, even if the quality of the film is high, movie fans may not buy it! The reason is often the selection and genre of the film.
This is like the online literature circle, many games, sci-fi, military, and even history and psychics, of which there are certainly some high-quality works, but due to the subject matter, most readers will not look at it at first glance. A small number of readers went to read it. What if you like it and support it again?
The popularity of a novel cannot be supported by the strong support of one or two hundred readers. Similarly, a movie is not something a few fans can raise the box office.
The production budget of "Jin Yiwei" exceeds 100 million, and how many Chinese-language movies of all types released this year can exceed 100 million at the box office? Besides, it's still a martial arts movie...
Recently, Li Rengang has been running major film companies in person. Even other companies that have nothing to do with the film business, such as the president and general manager of a certain group. At the same time, it is also mobilizing the strength of individuals in the circle, asking people to help contact foreign companies.
Coincidentally... he has been in Shanghai in recent days. Discuss investment matters with Shanghai Film Group.
Shanghai Film Group, by hearing its name, you know that this group has strong capital. The fact is that this group is the main target of Li Rengang. As long as we can tell the group to invest in "Jin Yi Wei", not only will the investment of more than 100 million "Jin Yi Wei" be a large part, at the same time, through the gimmick of Shanghai Film Group investing in "Jin Yi Wei", other investors can be better persuaded. .
The big group really has great courage. There is no company leader like Li Rengang that he contacted before hearing about the total investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, and he immediately retreated. The Shanghai Film Group was interested in investing in "Jinyiwei".
The fly in the ointment is that Shanghai Film Group has not yet decided whether to invest or not, and if it wants to invest, what amount of investment is appropriate.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Rengang just came out of the door of Shanghai Film Group, sighed disappointedly, shook his head and walked to the car the assistant had rented for him in Shanghai, judging from his disappointed look. The results of today's hard work can be imagined.
With a disappointed mood, he opened the car door and just got in the car. The cell phone in Li Rengang's bag rang.
Could it be that the other party changed his mind?
Li Rengang was overjoyed, quickly opened the handbag and pulled out the phone from the inside. As a result, what I saw on the phone screen at a glance was an unfamiliar number. This makes Li Rengang a little disappointed, but fortunately the location of the owner of this number displayed. It was Shanghai, which gave Li Rengang some illusions in his mind. He thought: Could it be a phone call from another leader of the Shanghai Film Group?
"Hello? Hello? Hello! I'm Li Rengang! May I ask you who are you?"
The phone connected, and Li Rengang asked politely.
What came over the phone was the voice of a completely strange young man. The first sentence was: "Hello Director Li! I'm Wang Lin from Choulin Film Company! I heard that Director Li recently had a script called "Jinyiwei"? Mr. Lu from Choulin Film Company is very interested in this script. I don’t know where Director Li is now? Is there any intention of cooperation?"
Ugly Forest Film Company?
Li Rengang chanted the name of the film company in his heart, his eyes were blank, just like Wang Lin was unfamiliar with his name before, Li Rengang was also unfamiliar with the name of Chou Lin Film Company, it was the first time I heard of it. .
Wang Lin thinks that he and Lu Yang’s Chou Lin Film Company are already somewhat famous in China. In fact, he really thinks too much! Perhaps the name Choulin Film Company, because of Lu Yang's relationship, is already well-known in the online literature circle, but in the film and television circle, its reputation is not as big as he thought.
If it was before, maybe Li Rengang was not interested in taking care of this little-known unknown company, but who made his brains about investing in "Jin Yi Wei" recently?
Just now I got the news that disappointed him from the Shanghai Film Group. After hesitating, Li Rengang still pressed his disappointment in his heart and asked: "Oh... hello, hello! Fortunately to meet you! I am here now. Shanghai, I just saw that your mobile phone shows that the location is also Shanghai. Is your company also in Shanghai? If so, I think we can meet and talk at any time!"
"Are you in Shanghai now?"
On the phone, Wang Lin was surprised. It felt too coincidental. The coincidence was unbelievable. A Hong Kong director made a phone call. He was in China, but he happened to be in Shanghai. Did Wen University have contacted him? Now, are you waiting here?
This was the first thought that came to Wang Lin's mind.
Of course, our majority of book fans know that this kid thinks too much this time! This is really just a coincidence!
After being reconfirmed by Li Rengang, Wang Lin immediately said, "Yes, yes! Our Choulin Film Company is in Shanghai, and Mr. Lu and I have also been in Shanghai recently! Do you think this is okay? I'll call to inquire right away. Let’s take a look at when President Lu of our company has time in these two days, and then I will confirm the appointment time with Director Li. Can you please see Director Li?”.
Li Rengang: "Ok! Ok! Yes! It is perfectly possible! This is what it should be! Presumably your company’s President Lu always manages everything and must be very busy! I am also in Shanghai recently. You can set the time and let me know. NS!"
……
Has Lu Yang really managed everything lately?
If Lu Yang heard these words, he would most likely think: No! My brother has recently been in emotional crisis, and there is no woman around him, let alone the legendary reason...
Lu Yang, who continued to write the outline of the script of "You from the Star" in the study, unexpectedly discovered that after less than an hour, he actually received another call from Wang Lin.
However, after he heard what Wang Lin said on the phone, his eyes lit up and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed like a flower.
is really frustrated in love, the career will be proud, and if the career is proud, the love will definitely be frustrated!
Very honored, Lu Yang used himself to verify this truth again.
When do you have time to see Li Rengang?
Of course it is right away!
Ye Changmeng Duo~lightnovelpub.net~ Lu Yang has long understood this truth. I still remember that before his rebirth, in addition to his first work published in Taiwan`s Bay, he actually had another chance to publish it later. Unfortunately, that time It took too long to communicate with the Taiwanese publishing house. For more than a week, the editor of that publishing house asked Lu Yang to revise the manuscript again and again. It was originally very interesting. After more than a week , But inexplicably yellow.
reason?
The reason is so fucking! The leader of the publishing house suddenly ordered the following works not to be accepted by Slaughter Xiang in the near future. The biggest insight that Lu Yang learned from that incident was Ye Changmeng!
There are many things that could have been done well. As time goes on, all kinds of accidents may occur.
Lu Yang doesn't want to have many good opportunities to invest in "Jinyiwei" this time. (To be continued...)
