Chapter 151 I Suggest Wang Jiawei Change His Name (5/5)
After taking the cup handed over by his assistant and taking a sip of tea, Wei Wuchang tried his best to ask in a calm tone: "Mengxi, are you very familiar with Meng Xiaojing?"
"…Meng Xiaojing... Oh, you said that reporter from Southern Weekend, she is quite interesting!"
Chen Mengxi answered honestly...
"No wonder, Meng Xiaojing got the last interview?"
"…She asked me a few questions and I answered them."
"I tell you, the media thieves in the south are there. Have you read her interview manuscript?"
"…I don't have much time, what has she written?"
Wei Wuchang sighed: "She wrote that you are making movies with the touch of a philistine..."
Chen Mengxi shrugged: "…I think it's right. Movies require investment. How can I do it without making money?"
"…Forget it, let's talk about Wang Jiawei, why did you get involved with him?"
"Oh, I'm going to hit the subject matter. He wants to film "Ip Man". We also film "Ip Man". I'm not happy!"
"Ip Man?"
"Bruce Lee's master! In recent years, I have been running back and forth in South Korea and the United States, and then came to a conclusion that the most well-known Chinese is Bruce Lee..."
Wei Wuchang immediately understood: "So, do you want to bring the deeds of Master Bruce Lee to the big screen?"
"Well, I have also done a lot of pre-investment work! In fact, in the 1960s and 1970s, learning martial arts in Hong Kong was prevalent, especially Bruce Lee's reputation led to the atmosphere of more Hong Kong people or Southeast Asian Chinese learning martial arts. Stephen Chow and Ti Lung had both become disciples of Wing Chun, and the recipients of his apprenticeship were Mr. Ip Man's son, Ye Zhun."
"I just feel a strong feeling, I must shoot a master of the generation - Ip Man!"
"Later, I checked it. Wang Jiawei seemed to have said before that he would film "The Grandmaster - Biography of Ip Man", so we will change the name to "Ip Man"!"
"The story of the whole movie is processed by us. Mr. Ye Zhun nodded in agreement, otherwise we would not have set up a project to shoot."
Speaking of this, Chen Mengxi spread his hands: "Does the whole thing have anything to do with plagiarism?"
"…Why did Wang Jiawei?"
"I guess people from mainland film companies are easy to bully. In fact, the crew of "Ip Man" is basically Hong Kong staff members in front of and behind the scenes. Donnie Yen plays Ip Man himself!"
"Donnie Bullet?"
"…Donnie Yen was invited to film "Little Dragon and Me". Donnie Yen played Ip Man, and Chau Xingchi was invited to play Bruce Lee. But it was in 1997. It was caught up with the financial crisis, the film company was disbanded, and the shooting plan was stranded. This time we invited him to play Ip Man, who was very attentive and did his homework to play Ip Man well. He specifically asked Mr. Yen to learn Wing Chun from scratch. In about half a year, he could beat Wing Chun to look decent; Ip Man was thin, and Donnie Yen was full of muscles. In order to quickly lose muscles, he only ate fruit every day; in order to find the sense of the Republic of China, Donnie Yen had long gowns at home, and even his wife felt that he was a little obsessed..."
"I am very confident in "Ip Man". In fact, 20th Century Fox is also very confident that they will release this film simultaneously around the world."
Wei Wuchang was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Twentieth Century Fox?"
"Yes, we met in Cannes. They liked "Ip Man" very much. They originally wanted to buy out the issuance of $20 million, but I didn't agree. I think the global box office of "Ip Man" is more than that!"
Wei Wuchang was carrying the notebook with him a few times, and then asked: "Wang Jiawei..."
"Oh, I suggest that Mr. Wang Jiawei change the title of the movie, which can be called "Ip Man's Blueberry Night" or "Ip Man's Years of Love"... I don't understand, why didn't he change his name? Our movie has been registered, and his movie is still under planning, and then he jumped out and said we were plagiarizing it. It's such a big face! According to him, I'm going to film "Battle of Red Cliffs" soon. Can you also accuse director Wu Yusen of plagiarizing me?"
Wei Wuchang couldn't help but smile, then packed up his notebook and gave Chen Mengxi half an hour.
“I can write all these?”
"Of course, just write whatever I said... I can write what I said, but I haven't said it, so you are not allowed to be artistically processed!"
"Don't worry!"
Wei Wuchang picked up the cup, drank the last little tea, and was about to leave. Chen Mengxi called him: "Can you delay it until around the 20th before sending this message?"
"…Can!"
"Thanks!"
...
Why do you have to delay until around the 20th before sending a message?
Because there is no other news survival space in the past few days, everyone is discussing "Red Cliff"...
The trailer edited by Wu Yusen is a bit shocking, especially Buffett and Zhao said with a serious look on his face, "Every woman is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", which makes people smile!
Really, there is no culture at all!
The word "hu" in "normal husband" is not limited to men, but a general term for all ordinary people.
From "The Sixth Year of Zhaogong of Zuo Zhuan" "A common man is good, but the people are still willing to do it, let alone the king" to "Han Feizi Youdu" "Don't avoid ministers when punishing mistakes, and rewarding good things without leaving ordinary men", to Zhang Binglin's "Refuting Kang Youwei's Book on Revolution" "If the system of the state and the Han dynasty is equal, and those with talent in Han people can be prime ministers", the "public man" among them is all general.
It's so embarrassing!
Everyone is looking for trouble online.
"In recent years, the so-called blockbusters have been filmed in China. There are many scenes and the lines are very funny. This kind of funny is not humor, but jokes caused by insufficient level and lack of skill. These funny things are not burdens, but laughing stocks."
"You wait, "Red Cliff (Part 1)" will become the best funny costume film of the year!"
Chen Mengxi couldn't hold it anymore and said this to Chen Liming.
They were swimming in the swimming pool - the fat man said he wanted to lose weight, so Chen Mengxi swam with him...
The fat man wiped his hair with a towel and said, "No matter how funny it is, at least the box office of 300 million is OK!"
"…There is no big problem for 300 million yuan. Didn't China Film propose a plan to create a blockbuster film that is more than 100 million US dollars in a single film?"
"What people are talking about is the global box office... Why do you have to be so high? Movies don't need to be so serious. Hollywood has a lot of rubbish!"
"But the trailer of the costume war drama with a large investment of 100 million US dollars was said to be very funny. Don't you think there is any problem?"
"It has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I'll go and see it. Are you going?"
"Of course I have to go there, just treat it as a way to support the venue for Buffett Zhao... Hey, are you still in touch with Lianhua?"
The fat man shook his head: "I don't contact much. She seems to be tinkering with Huayi stocks recently, and I don't understand..."
Huayi Stocks?
Chen Mengxi's eyes lit up: "Is Huayi ready to go on the market?"
The fat man nodded: "It seems that he has such a plan. I want them to buy it. I don't think it's reliable..."
"Buy it, buy as much as you like. I tell you that since Huayi is the first listed private media company, its market value will not be low..."
"Is that so? Then I'll buy some?"
Chen Mengxi suddenly felt that this was an opportunity, so he quickly asked again: "…How many can you buy?"
"It should be able to get a subscription of 6 million shares!"
“…get 6 million shares for me…”
"Do you want to invest in Huayi?"
“I invested…”
Chapter completed!
