In the face of media reports, Zhang Wei criticized and emphasized the deep friendship between him and Zhang Yimou.

At the beginning, when French investors withdrew their investment, he invested in Zhang Yimou's video, but ended up losing money.

Even so, he continues to invest in Zhang Yimou's new film, which will be released next year.

Zhang Weiping portrayed himself as a kind and righteous image, and regarded himself as Zhang Yimou's benefactor.

As for the breakup between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, he had nothing to do with him. He even revealed that Gong Li was dating Zhang Yimou and was also with wealthy Singaporean businessmen, and was on two boats.

Zhang Weiping is the kind of person who is not afraid of making a big deal. As long as it is profitable, he is keen on this kind of hype.

This is what the businessman does.

These outsiders in the film and television industry have broken the rules in the circle, turned the entertainment industry into the entertainment industry, and turned art into a pure business. With the influx of foreign capital, this will be a major trend.

Zhang Yimou has never spoken out, and the reporter cannot interview him. Zhang Weiping has become Zhang Yimou's spokesperson.

As the saying goes, a shameless person is invincible. Lin Zixuan has no good idea to use such a person.

However, he didn't believe how long Zhang Yimou could endure it. Many gaps began with small things.

Of course, the best counterattack is in the movie. After filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", after gaining experience, Haomeng Company also has to shoot commercial blockbusters by itself, and cannot rely solely on foreign directors like Li An.

It is unlikely that Li An would have to repeat the shooting of martial arts films of the same type.

If he was filming the prequel of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he might be interested, but it is hard to say about other commercial films. His main target is in Hollywood, not the mainland.

If Haomeng Company wants to develop, it must shoot commercial blockbusters, not that it will be impossible to leave Li An.

In Lin Zixuan's opinion, "Hero" is a good choice.

Although the plot is relatively empty, it is very qualified as a commercial blockbuster. The key is to find a suitable director.

This is an arrangement a year later. He has plenty of time. Now he just needs to write out the script and slowly craft it.

The secret battle between good dreams and new films has become a hot topic before the New Year's Eve, which has made the film and television companies that have made New Year's Eve films very depressed. Everyone is paying attention to the casting shady scenes and the love history of the big directors, and no one is paying attention to New Year's Eve films.

This year's New Year movies may not have achieved great results.

In the first half of the year, "Titanic" and the second half of the year, the two movies consumed most of the audience's enthusiasm. Once the quality of the New Year film is not high, the box office can be imagined.

What's more, "Life and Death Choice" still accounts for 10% of the screening rate, and other New Year's films can only compete for the remaining share.

Feng Xiaogang and Ge You were absent from the New Year holiday for two years, and many viewers missed the happiness they brought to them.

This is a kind of hunger marketing. When Feng Xiaogang's New Year film comes out next year, the audience will also go to the theater to watch it in order to miss it.

If Ge You made a New Year film every year, the audience might experience aesthetic fatigue, and moderation is important.

"He is just an amateur. There is no need to be angry with him. The more you pay attention to him, the more excited you will be. If you ignore him, you will be done. People who don't understand the rules will sooner or later cause trouble." Feng Xiaogang commented, "Now we will solve our own affairs first, and take it slow with them in the future."

"In fact, as long as you decide the role of Yu Jiaolong, the media will be over after a while." Yu Dong suggested.

However, the dust has settled and there is nothing to report on, so the reporter will naturally look for other entertainment hotspots.

"I will talk to Li An and hold the second round of auditions in advance to select the person." Lin Zixuan decided.

This incident made Haomeng Company a little passive and negatively affected, but that's all. The project "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" still needs to continue, it's just a small episode.

"What if Li An didn't choose Xiao Xu?" Feng Xiaogang said worriedly.

"We are investors, so we can't just listen to the director, otherwise the money would not be spent in vain." Lin Zixuan said decisively.

In the past, Li An said he wanted to choose someone, and Lin Zixuan gave him face, so let's choose. If you spend some money, you can spend some money. Who can make me a big Hollywood director? This requirement is not out of line.

It is hard to say whose responsibility is this happening now.

It can be said that the work of Haomeng Company has not been done well, or it can be said that there is a problem with the casting itself. A group of girls compete for a role together, and it is impossible to say that there is no exclusion or frame-up.

A darker idea is to hide needles in the other party’s costumes and nails in the shoes, and it is easy to get into trouble.

With the gift of face, and the things that should be accommodated are also accommodated. Lin Zixuan felt that he had done enough.

As an investor, if you don’t even have this little right and just keep your director in mind, it will be a joke.

Perhaps some people think that if they hire Hollywood directors and use the production team of Hong Kong, they must follow them and not offend them.

That's nonsense. Lin Zixuan believes that cooperation should be equal, and differences will inevitably arise in this process. Disagreements and compromises are the solutions, rather than concessions all the time.

In Hollywood, the rights of directors are restricted, and investors have the dominance. It is true that the mainland is the director-centered system, but the director cannot say whatever he says.

"That's right. If this kind of film doesn't require the actors of their own company, then what do they think? Who is willing to stay in the company? We can't treat our own people badly? Do you think this is the case?" Feng Xiaogang said.

Although Feng Xiaogang is a director, he will consider the investors and is willing to cooperate with investors.

This is related to his lack of professional background and does not have the concept of director first, but will adopt a more appropriate approach.

Now he is the boss of Good Dream Company, and there is no problem with his words from the boss's standpoint.

This is an internal meeting of Haomeng Company, and everyone discussed the subsequent solutions.

After confirming the actor of Yu Jiaolong, the media will be notified. Even if the media still believes that Xu Jinglei is appointed in Haomeng Company, it doesn’t matter. As long as things are settled, the media will naturally stop after the readers are tired of it after a few days.

At the end of the meeting, Lin Zixuan and Li An talked openly about this matter and asked for a second round of auditions in advance.

This audition, Lin Zixuan, Jiang Zhiqiang and Li An were all present.

Five actors put on costumes, put on makeup, styling, and performing plots. They knew that this was the last chance, so they were extra serious and showed their best side.

Because of his full preparation, Xu Jinglei was better in performance.

Li An was still a little hesitant, and Lin Zixuan said it was Xu Jinglei. Jiang Zhiqiang noticed the atmosphere was tense. He did not want to intervene and did not express his opinion, which was considered abstention.

Finally, Li An chose Xu Jinglei.

This is how it is to make a movie. It will be very smooth to work with familiar people. Everyone knows the truth and cooperates with unfamiliar people. It requires constant adjustments, especially when both parties have their own ideas. (To be continued.)
