Chapter 329 I Don’t Eat Beef, No More Hesitation (33)

Celebration banquet after the celebration party.

Shen Santong drank a lot.

After the drama "Racing", Ning Hao proved himself.

Shen Santong's position has also been further consolidated, and there has been very intuitive feedback at all levels.

Launching a director who can produce top-level resource projects means a lot.

It is much more powerful than any capital.

Money can’t support Ning Hao, who filmed Stone and Racing, nor can it support Wu Jing, who filmed Wolf Warrior 2, and Guo Fan, who filmed The Wandering Earth.

Money alone cannot feed people. It requires not only talent and spirituality, but also persistence.

It also requires an environment, especially "Wolf Warrior 2" and "The Wandering Earth", which require a film market and an industrial foundation.

Ning Hao brought Zhang Ming and Zhong Fangli over to toast.

Shen Santong said: "Haozi, you've made it. Domestic films now have Ning's comedy. You can shoot whatever you want next time."

Even though his next film is most likely to be "No Man's Land", Ning Hao wants to make it big.

It will take several years, and considering the time cost, it will definitely be a loss.

Shen Santong accepted that he had to rely on favors to pass the review.

Ning Hao was just about to talk about this topic: "My next movie was originally going to be a remake of The Host, but I think monster movies are not suitable for China."

"I don't have the confidence like you, Director Shen, to shoot a disaster film, so I want to shoot a subject that I've been thinking about for a long time."

“You also need to go to the frontier to experience it and observe the locals to write it.”

"With this dark allegorical film, I want to pursue art, I know you hate this"

Shen Santong interrupted and promised him on the spot: "Black Fable, I voted for you. It's not easy to pass the review, but it doesn't matter. I will think of a way for you, and then we can go big."

Xu Zheng looked on with envy.

He really wants to be a director and be a leader.

Ning Hao was not in a position to speak, so Li Ming said, "Director Shen, we, Xiao Ma Pentium, and Ning Hao have agreed on this play. I will support his artistic pursuits and I will invest in it as well."

Shen Santong didn't react, he was a little drunk: "What does it have to do with Xiao Ma Benteng?"

The table fell silent.

He looked at the silent Ning Hao.

This table is full of senior executives of the locomotive company, and the cast and crew have all worked with Shen Santong many times.

The vice president in charge of film production whispered to Ning Hao that the cooperation between Ning Hao and Xiaoma Pentium had already been negotiated.

Shen Santong came to his senses and became furious.

Celebration banquet, do this.

Shen Santong stared at Ning Hao and asked word by word, "Haozi, have you talked to Xiao Ma?"

Zhong Fangli felt a strong pressure and got goose bumps.

He was very angry. Who are you trying to scare? He was too greedy. It was not good to eat alone. "Director Shen, we just want to join the industry. We can buy the quota at a premium."

Shen Santong looked at Zhong Fangli coldly: "It's none of your business! Do you believe that I will make sure you can't get into the film industry?"

Shen Santong would not normally say such things, but today he was a little drunk and was angry.

Shen Santong's patience was limited. He looked at Ning Hao and said, "Haozi, I want to ask you a question."

Zhong Fangli is still not convinced.

Li Ming gave her a slight pull.

Do you really think this young man in front of you is harmless?

To some extent, "Racing", which was fully controlled by Ning Hao, just illustrates the uniqueness of Shen Santong's films.

The movie "Racing" is not bad, but it doesn't have the flavor of Shen Santong's movies.

It can be seen from the box office that as the third film in the series, it is not as high as the previous one "Stone".

It is a consensus in the industry that only films made by Shen Santong have the potential to compete with Hollywood blockbusters.

Only one copy.

Not to mention the pony galloping, even the Chinese and foreigners.

The person in front of me can make the Chinese and foreigners feel extremely happy.

Of course, for Pony.com, which has just entered the film industry, Ning Hao is an incredible resource.

It’s not that Li Ming is not loyal enough, so he lets Ning Hao bear the pressure of Shen Santong alone.

But only he can bear it.

After all, Ning Hao has feelings for Shen Santong.

Although Ning Hao seemed ungrateful from a bystander's perspective, they were still friends after all.

Pony.cc doesn't even have the qualifications to participate in the conversation.

Shen Santong really has the ability to make it impossible for them to get into the film industry.

Ning Hao explained: "Director Shen, thank you for giving you the opportunity. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today, but I want to make a movie that is completely mine. When Stone was released, I remembered everything you said."

Shen Santong got the answer.

Put your palm up to shut him up.

Yes, he said some polite words when "Stone" was released.

Do you really believe it?

The pervert said he doesn’t eat beef?

Fine.

Shen Santong doesn't even have to take revenge, and he can also get rid of a burden.

Not only that, there is no need to hesitate about follow-up plans.

Let Ning Hao play "No Man's Land" by himself.

Shen Santong regained his composure and stretched out his hand.

Ning Hao didn't know what it meant.

Shen Santong said: "Give me the wine."

Taking the wine glass, Shen Santong said: "If you and Xiao Ma are confident, I don't want any share of your new play, but you can't use the crazy sign."

"If you don't have confidence, I only want 10% of the share, no more, just to give you a ride."

"I lost my composure just now. Actually, think about it, your two movies have grossed 700 million. You've done a good job. You don't owe me anything."

"I am also a director. It is normal for a director to have his own artistic pursuits. I also have pursuits."

"You can't say that my pursuit is pursuit and yours is not. It's all in the wine. I wish you a bright future."

Shen Santong drank it all in one gulp, put the glass on the table, and said to everyone: "Everyone, it's time to eat and drink. I'm almost done, so I'll leave first."

Afraid that Ning Hao would go back on his word.

If you want to play, play by yourself.

In his previous life, Ning Hao was the first to come on the scene, opening up a new generation of directors, and the fig leaf of professional schools. After "The Promise", the overseas interests of costume blockbusters were cut off, and "Stone" can be said to have illuminated the film market.

The low-cost film market, in particular, has proven that small and medium-cost films have promise and represent a new path for the commercialization of domestic films.

After "Racing", he became the fourth domestic director to break the 100 million mark after Zhang, Chen and Feng.

Compared with the first four, Ning Hao is very young.

Even though they earned industry points and Han Sanping's efforts, the film was still delayed for five or six years.

In this life, Ning Hao and Han Sanping do not have such a deep friendship.

The cooperation with China Film is just an ordinary cooperative relationship, and there are no large number of points for first login.

Shen Santong wants to see how "No Man's Land" is released.

As for Ning Hao not filming "No Man's Land"?
almost impossible.

After "Racing", he had a lot of opportunities. He didn't need to suppress himself and there was no shortage of people investing in him.

On the other hand, Ning Hao still has to prove himself.

The academic community doesn't like him, and neither does the media.

They started to criticize that multi-line narrative is a shortcut, and also questioned Ning Hao's pursuit of entertainment to death and his lack of artistic spirit.

No Man's Land is a response.

Linear narrative and pure evil are Ning Hao's self-struggle in his creation.

This is the tone of Ning Hao's generation of professional students.

Self-doubt, self-struggle, and self-satisfaction.

The plot may be slightly different, but the tone is definitely the same.

Ning Hao didn't expect it to be so smooth and was stunned for a moment.

He was afraid that Shen Santong would not let him go, so he pulled Xiao Ma to gallop and speak at the celebration party.

At the Locomotive Film Company, he would be under the shadow of Shen Santong.

To this day, Shen Santong has done him no harm.

Even if he made "Racing" from start to finish himself, the audience would only say that Shen Santong had a good vision and that it was a right decision to choose him to direct.

Senior people in the industry and media evaluations would also vent their anger on him and constantly attack him because he was under Shen Santong.

In terms of art, it can be said that he has no aspirations and is completely a tool of Shen Santong.

Although "Racing" was so successful commercially, the credit did not belong to him, but to Shen Santong.

This is true whether it is Han Sanping or anyone else.

Even judging him ruins the crazy series.

On the contrary, what if we withdraw from Locomotive Films?
He has no shortage of investment, and it's not just Pony Ma that's approaching him.

Ning Hao was confident that he could defeat Shen Santong on this occasion.

As for investment, there are plenty of people out there waving money around.

The reason for finding Xiaoma Pentium is because the other party has extensive connections and influence.

At the same time, theaters also secretly supported him.

The cinema chain was not happy with Shen Santong’s increase in share and was not happy with him eating alone.

It was just that due to Shen Santong's tyranny, he couldn't show it and made many promises to him in secret.

By jumping out of the locomotive position, he can take up the quota himself and earn much more than if he just made films.

With funds and theaters, we can make our own movies.

The media and industry authorities will not scold him, and the pressure from all aspects will be much less.

Ning Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Shen Santong would lose his temper on the spot.

After all, he is a cash cow.

A good movie could make hundreds of millions at the box office, but the director's fee was only one million, and the subsequent bonuses added together amounted to three or four million. Back then, Zhou Xingchi was treated as a cash cow.

As soon as Shen Santong left, the others also left one after another.

Xu Zheng walked over and said, "Ning Hao, what you did is not fair."

Ning Hao smiled bitterly: "I have my own difficulties."

Xu Zheng said nothing and left with Tao Hong.

Shen Santong didn't owe you, Ning Hao, a penny, and he brought his men, Xiao Ma Pentium, to force the emperor to abdicate.

Xu Zheng also disapproved of Shen Santong's approach.

Too careful about one's reputation.

I don't want a share of anything, I only want 10% of everything.

That's indeed Shen Santong's temper.

But Ning Hao had already gained the momentum, and there was no point in getting angry, so he could only fulfill the other party's wish.

Instead, it gave Ning Hao an excuse to go it alone.

Huang Bo and Ning Hao have worked together on several plays. He said, "What are you going to do? Can't you discuss it in private?"

Without waiting for Ning Hao to say anything, Huang Bo left.

Huang Bo felt that Ning Hao was confused. Even though he, an actor worth billions, didn't get carried away, Ning Hao got carried away first.

"Supermarket" made 1 million, "Happy Birthday " made million, "Stone" made million, and "Racing" made million, making him the billion box office man.

Ning Hao looked unhappy, both on and off stage, and among the actors and staff behind the scenes who had good relationships with him.

Even the people who followed him at that time in "Green Grassland" just said hello and left.

In the blink of an eye.

Only Li Ming and Zhong Fangli from Xiaoma Pentium stood with him.

Many people may say that I write nonsense.

Let me tell you, it must be painful for the protagonist to take this path and fight against the narrative.

Li Bingbing's departure and Ning Hao's departure are both prices that must be paid.

Realistically speaking, I have already written very lightly.

Liu Xiang, whether intentionally or unintentionally, occupied that position and won. When a group of white people and Americans were on the field, a yellow person was considered a sin in the eyes of some people.

The traitor isolated him, exhausted him madly, trained him abnormally, and attacked him in the media.

At this time, the foreign endorsement brand Nike gave a way out. It surrounded three sides but lacked one. It not only wanted to destroy it, but also to capture it.

The protagonist is determined in his heart, so others will naturally start with the people around him.

Of course, Li Bingbing will improve the actor management of the protagonist and take photos for some people.

Ning Hao’s departure will also improve the director’s management.

I need to explain it, but I’m afraid you won’t accept it.

In addition, I cannot write too much about "Lust, Caution" because it is too dangerous. It is not easy to write this book with so many words.
