"The Richest Man in Xihong City" takes the lead in the Spring Festival show, with an invincible momentum.

Although the reputation of this film is not as good as the previous three films co-produced by Zhang Yu and Ning Yuan, the box office momentum is even greater.

On the Internet, the box office forecast for this film exceeds 2 billion.

The reason for this is undoubtedly due to the popularity of its biggest competitor "Strange Case".

As for "Crime Unit", it obviously has no impact on "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

After all, the difference in heat is quite big.

Moreover, the styles of the two films are completely different.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" is undoubtedly more suitable for the Spring Festival atmosphere and is the first choice of movie fans.

"Sister Hua, you are a rare visitor!"

Zhang Yu looked at Wang Mei with a smile.

The rest of the crew immediately stood up and greeted Wang Mei.

However, they are obviously much more restrained than Zhang Yu.

Be it Xu Yun or Ding Sheng, this is especially true for artists under Wansheng.

Why can Zhang Yu do this?

One is that he has a good personal relationship with Wang Mei.

Another important reason. He is not only a singer and actor, he is also an investment producer.

"I have something to do with you."

Wang Mei nodded to the others, then looked at Zhang Yu and said.

"oh?"

Zhang Yu looked at the others and then nodded.

Wang Mei didn't say that, so she naturally wanted to talk in private.

He was doubtful, but did not refuse.

The two of them found a place.

"What does Sister Hua want from me?" Zhang Yu asked.

"I would like to ask if you have a script suitable for Zhang Hang?" Wang Mei said.

"What?" Zhang Yu was stunned at first, then realized and said, "Sister Hua wants to sign Director Zhang to Wansheng Film and Television?"

"There is no need to sign in, just help him set up a personal studio and affiliate it to Wansheng Film and Television." Wang Mei said, "With so many companies wanting to recruit, there should be no possibility of signing him directly."

"Did Director Zhang really break up with his company?" Zhang Yu asked.

In fact, this question was asked knowingly.

Zhang Hang's company is actually not that big in the industry.

However, Zhang Hang was nostalgic, and if there hadn't been a breakup, no one would try to recruit him.

"He and Xu Ming had a falling out." Wang Mei said, "Zhang Hang had no interest in taking over the film "Strange Case", but he did it for Xu Ming's sake. But after taking it, Xu Ming

There was more and more interference in the film. When the two were filming, conflicts broke out. If not, the quality of this film would be more than that."

Zhang Yu nodded.

Even if there are problems with the script, Zhang Hang's directorial skills will not lead to a film whose reputation has almost collapsed.

Many domestic directors are excellent screenwriters themselves.

Zhang Hang is also good at screenwriting.

"Zhang Hang and Xu Ming have cooperated for many years." Wang Mei said, "Zhang Hang is only responsible for the film, and everything else is left to Xu Ming. Everyone performs their own duties, and the cooperation has always been a pleasure. Unfortunately, Xu Ming is too obsessed with control.

The desire is getting stronger and stronger.”

Zhang Yu nodded, these things are not secrets in the circle.

Zhang Hang kicked off the mainland commercial blockbuster, and the driving force behind it was Xu Ming.

It's just that in recent years, Xu Ming has participated in more and more Zhang Hang's movies.

Moreover, many of the films he shot were probably not what Zhang Hang wanted to make.

As time goes by, conflicts will break out sooner or later.

"Strange Case" is just a trigger.

This movie probably pushed Zhang Hang to the limit of his patience.

Once the two had a falling out, Zhang Hang probably realized that he and others seemed to have become Xu Ming's tools.

"I'm afraid Xu Ming won't let go easily, right?" Zhang Yu said, "His company is supported by Zhang Hang."

"It's not up to him." Wang Mei said, "With Zhang Hang's current status, can he still handle it? At most, he can just expose Zhang Hang's shortcomings afterwards and take revenge."

"Sister Hua wants to increase her stakes with a script?" Zhang Yu said.

Xu Ming can't handle Zhang Hang, but Wansheng Film and Television is not afraid of Xu Ming.

"right!"

Wang Mei nodded, this was also the purpose of finding Zhang Yu.

Wansheng Film and Television also has contracted screenwriters, but compared to Zhang Yu, they are far behind.

Not only the quality, but the speed is also incomparable.

Of course, Wang Mei's coming is just to cast more nets.

She actually didn't have much hope.

"Director Zhang probably prefers to make literary films." Zhang Yu said, "If Sister Hua wants it, I have one here. It's just hard to say how the box office will be. However, the possibility of losing money is unlikely."

"oh?"

When Wang Mei heard this, she immediately became interested.

If Zhang Hang can be poached, it is not unacceptable to pay some money.

Zhang Yu said it right.

Zhang Hang actually prefers literary films.

Compared to commercial films, he is actually better at artistic films.

It's just that his achievements in commercial films are too dazzling.

Of course, if it is a film that perfectly integrates commercial elements and artistic elements, it would be better.

But many times, business and art cannot go hand in hand.

"The script hasn't been finished yet, so Sister Hua shouldn't be in a hurry, right?" Zhang Yu continued.

The script Zhang Yu was talking about was naturally the "Farewell My Concubine" that had been flashed before!

However, this film involves some history, so Zhang Yu still needs to check the information and see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted.

"It would be best if we can do it faster," Wang Mei said, "Now, it's not just Wansheng Film and Television who are staring at Zhang Hang."

"I'll try my best!" Zhang Yu said.

The script is so easy to write.

Even if you have the original version as a reference, there are some things that you need to understand.

However, it is undoubtedly much easier than original creation.

While Zhang Yu was busy performing road shows, she also started writing the script for "Farewell My Concubine".

Not long after, the script was completed.

The film revolves around the joys and sorrows of two Peking Opera actors for half a century, showing their thinking and understanding of traditional culture, people's living conditions and human nature.

This film can be said to be one of the films with the highest artistic achievements in Chinese-language films.

Thinking about it, Zhang Hang should be moved.

At this time, many office workers have already started to go to work, and the Spring Festival movie viewing peak has faded a lot.

However, the box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has exceeded one billion mark.

Wang Mei saw the script and read it several times, but she was inexplicably shocked.

Zhang Yu actually wrote such a script?

Simply unbelievable.

After being shocked, Wang Mei showed a look of surprise.

Which director can refuse this script?

Neither can Zhang Hang.
