Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 220 Take other people’s path and leave others with no way to go

Xu Ming smiled but said nothing.

Wait for the other party to state his intentions.

He believed that the other party's sudden appearance at the wrap-up party was definitely not just to get to know him.

"I heard that Jiang Wen signed a contract with your Qiming for his next film?"

Sure enough, Yang Shoucheng couldn't help it after all and opened his mouth to test it.

"Yes, it's been a year. I thought everyone knew about it."

Xu Ming smiled. It turned out that he came here to watch “Evil Never Dies”.

"In fact, we have worked with Director Jiang on two dramas and have long established a relationship with him. It is a bit strange that we are no longer working together..."

As Yang Shoucheng spoke, he observed Xu Ming's expression.

But the other party just kept listening calmly and had no intention of responding.

You are really patient.

Come to think of it, if one didn't have some self-control, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

He simply said, "If Director Jiang and your new play still need investment, why not add us to Yinghuang?"

In fact, for such film projects, one more or one less is important to Yinghuang, but not so important that he needs to take personal action.

But he couldn't resist the combination of Xu Ming and Jiang Wen, which really made him envious.

Not to mention Jiang Wen, he is a golden signboard of mainland films.

The key is Xu Ming.

If he was just a popular young actor, that wouldn't be a big deal.

But his current title is the representative of the youth born in the 1980s and 1990s, plus Qiming’s project performance is outstanding, which is very attractive.

It smelled so good that he couldn't help but move forward.

Jiang Wen and Zhang Guoshi are worthy of being this uncle, but Yang Shoucheng may not be worthy of being this uncle.

Xu Ming was not aware that the rumor that he liked to recognize his uncles was no longer a secret in the circle.

But you can also feel the kindness released by the other party.

For a moment he pretended to hesitate.

"Evil Never Dies" was originally the fish he used to hook Jiang Wen. Qiming's early development relied a lot on this project and Jiang Wen.

To be honest, it's not that important. It's just a profitable project.

The profit may not even be as much as that of the newly started "Love Apartment 3".

"We at Yinghuang are only responsible for investment, and we will not interfere with the rest of the crew's affairs. We will also try our best to cooperate where there is a need."

Seeing Xu Ming's intention, Yang Shoucheng added.

He was not here to make money either, he just wanted to buy a horse bone for a large sum of money.

At his position, many things can no longer be measured simply by whether or not he makes money.

"Okay, Boss Yang, since you said so, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse."

Xu Ming paused and said, "I'll have someone from the company contact your group later."

"Hey, why call me Boss Yang? That's too strange."

Yang Shoucheng waved his hand with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Director Yang?"

No, it needs to be changed.

"Uncle Yang?"

"That's right. I won't disturb your dinner. Everyone, please eat and have fun. The consumption of this hall today will be charged to my account. Just consider it as an apology for your intrusive visit."

Yang Shoucheng stood up and said with a smile.

There was a burst of applause in the banquet hall.

"It's a waste. I'll give it to you."

It was difficult for Xu Ming to refuse other people's kindness.

After sending Yang Shoucheng to the door and seeing the other party leave, he felt relieved but also had mixed emotions.

When did 'recognizing someone as your uncle' become a passive skill?
However, the connection with Yinghuang was an unexpected surprise. With this, the plan that he had been planning could be implemented.

Everyone feels that their road ahead is smooth.

Only he himself knew what a huge bomb was hidden in the identity of Benshan's disciple, which he had previously relied on.

There is no way, the gift given by fate has already been secretly marked with a price.

……

Beijing.

Xu Ming has been back to the company for a few days.

The filming of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" was scheduled to start after the release of "Fleet of Time".

Taking advantage of the break in between, he gave himself a few days off.

But even when he is on vacation, the company's affairs will still come to him.

"Okay, stop making trouble. All the company staff are outside. How can this be tolerated?" Xu Ming scolded Yang Mi.

The latter tidied up his messy clothes and gave the other person a seductive look.

Now I know it's at the company.

Why didn’t the other party have this awareness just now?
Pull yourself a little harder...

Yang Mi thought about it and said, "When will the filming of "Time Travel" start? I have been preparing for it for a long time."

The most important thing is that her junior sister Li Xin at Rong Xinda was chosen as the heroine of "Sisters Who Make Waves".

This made her, a senior sister who had finally gotten film resources, feel unbalanced and at the same time, a sense of crisis.

Moreover, he had tried his best just now but failed to get Xu Ming to execute him on the spot. If it had been in the past, he would have been extremely impatient.

Could it be that someone fed him in advance when he came back?

"It depends on Guo Fan's arrangements. Besides, 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy' hasn't been filmed yet," said Xu Ming.

He kept Zhao Wenzhuo's teachings in mind, and after returning, he asked his uncle Guan Tingna to find some medicinal materials and prepared several prescriptions according to the prescription.

Practice Tongbeiquan every morning, noon and evening.

It is naturally impossible to reveal his power to Yang Mi.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with satisfying your urges with your hands or mouth.

"Director Guo has also completed the preparations, but he is busy promoting "So Young" before its release and has no time to contact you," Yang Mi explained.

Xu Ming thought about it and realized that there was really nothing special that needed to be prepared for the filming of "Time Raiders".

Most of the scenes were shot in one room.

In this case, it seems that there is an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.

Seeing Xu Ming lost in thought, Yang Mi knew something was going to happen, and immediately began to massage his shoulders obediently.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Xu Ming came back to his senses and shouted.

Yang Mi pouted and thought that she could not come a little later to disturb them.

Xiaojuan stuck her head out and saw her boss and Da Mimi huddled together, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck.

Didn't bother you with your good deeds?

"If you have something to say, tell me." Xu Ming said unhappily.

Everyone has their own idea of who he is, so it's easy to guess right.

"Sister Hai Lu is looking for you." Xiao Juan said.

Xu Ming's mind flashed with a figure sitting in a wheelchair, and he nodded: "Bring it here."

Xiaojuan handed the phone to the boss.

The latter took it and called the other party back.

After a moment, the call was connected.

"Sister Hailu, do you need me for something?"

"Yes, there is something. I won't beat around the bush. I'm currently filming a pretty good movie, but the funding chain is broken, so I want to ask if Qiming has any ideas for investing."

Qin Hailu paused and added: "The script is very good, and the director is very creative. He even mortgaged his personal property to make the movie. I think it's a pity that he failed at the last step."

"If you are interested, I will ask the crew to send you the information." She asked around and then remembered Xu Ming, an acquaintance.

Qiming has been quite active in the film and television industry this year, so maybe you’re interested.

If that doesn't work, she plans to invest her own money and join.

"Okay, send it over. I'll write you back after I read it."

Xu Ming agreed immediately. He still trusted the other party's vision in selecting films.

As long as the conditions are not too outrageous, just invest a little and think of it as supporting domestic art films.

Soon, Qin Hailu sent the information to the email address.

When Xu Ming saw the three words "The Piano in a Factory", he was in a trance for a moment, and it seemed to be this movie.

The box office was average, but the word of mouth was good.

Of course, there is also a special achievement, which is to promote the leading actor Wang Qianyuan.

The latter was almost forty years old when he made this movie.

In the past few years, he opened a restaurant and played supporting roles, but it was not until this drama that he came to prominence.

"What do you think? Do you want to invest? I think the script is interesting, but I'm afraid it doesn't have much commercial prospects." Yang Mi interrupted.

With this cast, it's hard to make the audience want to watch the movie.

The most famous one is Qin Hailu, but Qin Hailu is mostly famous within the industry and few people outside the circle know her.

"I estimate that the funding gap is at most one or two million. Just think of it as making a friend." Xu Ming said casually.

After collecting payments from various channels in the early stage, Qiming currently has sufficient cash flow and is worried about the lack of reliable project investments.

"Xiaojuan, when the time comes, you will go over there to supervise the use of the account funds, and by the way, see if this actor named Wang Qianyuan is interested in signing a contract with a company."

It would be a waste of Xiaojuan's talent to keep her as an assistant by my side. It's time to find an opportunity to train her towards management level.

"it is good."

Xiaojuan nodded.

Only Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, looking at the rough man on the computer screen, and hesitantly asked: "Have your tastes changed?"

thump.

Xu Ming tapped her forehead with his finger knuckles.

"oops."

Yang Mi covered her forehead and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything nonsense."

"We have no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women, and this kind of uncle-type actor can just fill the vacancy." Xu Ming said.

In the future, older actors will be as popular as younger ones.

I can only say that many veteran actors were born in the wrong era, sigh.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that young and handsome actors have become so prevalent on the screen that the audiences are disgusted.

Besides, can a person who has the names of three little ones be an ordinary person?
After he finished speaking, he called Qin Hailu back and told her that his company had investment plans and asked her to contact Xiaojuan.

Then he said to Da Mimi who was looking at him eagerly, "Go talk to Director Guo and see if the bedroom scene we are shooting can be made into a mobile house, and then we can follow the shooting location of Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy."

"During the breaks in filming, I was able to find some time to shoot the bedroom scenes."

He felt that he had come up with some creative ideas in his acting.

There is no other way, time is really tight, I can only take pictures whenever I have time.

It's just hard for Guo Fan and others to get used to being a spare tire.

After all, he must focus on the filming of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

"okay."

Yang Mi doesn't care about that. She just hopes that her movie can be made as soon as possible and be the best it can be.

……

June th.

Another graduation season.

Just when students from major universities were feeling sad.

Qiming's second youth series "Fleeting Time" finally premiered.

"In those fleeting years, how many times did we say it~"

"See you later, then delay~"

The movie theme song sung by Wang Fei and Xu Ming has spread throughout the streets and alleys.

In front of Wanda Cinema.

Many invited college students and fans as well as media reporters gathered around.

There was only one scream, and then there were more and more screams.

A business car stopped and director Guo Fan got out first, followed by Xu Ming holding Ni Ni's hand and coming into view.

The screams became louder and louder.

You have to know that most of the fans present here have watched "So Young" and have had fantasies about the couple Xu Ming and Ni Ni.

Now that I see the real person showing off his affection, it is such a pleasant surprise.

"College students are better. They have clear eyes. They are the target group we should vigorously develop." Xu Ming said with a smile while waving around.

The clearer you are, the more stupid you are. You only have twenty dollars in your pocket, but you dare to borrow five dollars to buy a movie ticket.

And it is far less harsh and venomous than those film critics. Just hitting on one point is enough to move them to tears.

Given their limited life experience, it is almost not difficult for them to meet this need.

This is also why in later generations, any movie involving love, as long as it is marketed well, can always trick a group of college students into contributing to the box office.

Especially now that the dog-licking economy has not collapsed, many boys whose minds are full of the people (Sichuan and Chongqing accent) grit their teeth and contribute two movie tickets in order to please girls.

Boys who want to see more people need to contribute a few more photos.

As he was talking, he entered the theater.

Not many guests were invited this time, mainly because "So Young" has the residual popularity of "A Love So Beautiful", so it doesn't need to put too much effort in marketing.

But Xu Ke and Liang Jiahui still showed up to show their support.

"Director Xu, Teacher Liang, don't leave after the show is over. We have another show in the evening." Xu Ming said with a smile.

"Okay, we're keeping an eye on you this time. When the promotion is over, we'll tie you up and bring you to the crew to start filming." Liang Jiahui joked.

After chatting for a few minutes, Xu Ming went to greet other people.

Xu Ke looked at the back of his cousin and said with emotion: "I heard that Boss Yang of Yinghuang approached him to discuss cooperation a while ago. We may have to rely on him for a living in the future."

"People are different. When I was his age, I was still thinking about how to get my girlfriend pregnant, but now I'm living a good life."

Liang Jiahui paused, "And they say he has a problem with Hong Kong artists. From what I've seen so far, he seems to be a very nice person. I think some of our filmmakers need someone like him to wake them up."

"Don't keep feeling like you're living in the past. Times have changed a lot."

That’s right. When he filmed mainland movies before, he was forced to write a letter of repentance. Now, how many actors in Hong Kong don’t film mainland movies?

I'm almost bursting at the seams.

As they were talking, the theater went dark.

The dragon logo first appeared on the big screen, followed by the opening animation of Qiming Entertainment.

Like "So Young", "Fleet of Time" still pays tribute to youth and reminisces about the past.

Compared to the previous work, there is not much new.

The only commendable thing is that it incorporates memorable classic moments such as the Y2K, the successful bid for the Olympic Games, and the World Cup.

The specific nodes of history, as the coordinates of the times, can easily arouse the audience's resonance.

This trick is particularly useful when youth films are not yet flooding the market.

"There are several youth-themed movies slated to be released this summer, and other companies are also producing a lot of similar movies. The youth-themed movie genre is about to become obsolete."

At this moment, Guo Fan admired his boss's foresight very much.

Before the first film was released, preparations for the second follow-up film began.

Half of the freshly cooked porridge was scooped away first, leaving the rest of the people with nothing to eat, but they still couldn’t eat as much as they did.

"Well, after this movie is released, this series will be temporarily sealed." Xu Ming said in a deep voice.

He has always been the kind of person who walks in other people's paths, leaving them with no way to go.

How could he let others follow his path?
