Perfect Life

In the morning, half past ten.

Feng Bicheng walked out of a building in disappointment, threw the planning book and script in his hand into the passenger seat, stood outside depressed and smoked half a cigarette before driving home.

In the Chinese film and television circle, he is classified as a princeling and a second-generation director. His father, Feng Yumin, was born in Shuntian Film Academy. He has been rooted in Huaxia TV for many years, and now he is still the director of the TV drama production center of Huaxia TV. In the past few years, not only has the official position been stable, but he also has quite a masterpiece in his hands. He can be called Taishan Beidou in the TV drama circle. The good friend of the former official is naturally all over the film and television circle.

After graduating from the directing department of Huaxia Academy of Drama, Feng Bicheng first joined the TV drama production center of Huaxia TV and studied for a few years. In the past few years, he couldn't bear it and resigned. With his father's relationship, he first joined the crew. He has also helped people take pictures, worked as an assistant director, and wrote several scripts successively.

After a few years of mixing like this, he finally pulled in an investment, not much, only three million. But it was this investment that he filmed "Half a Hero". Under the environment of the overall collapse of the film market in 1998, he bucked the trend and won the box office of more than 20 million, which is considered a war. became famous.

At that time, even Li Qian thought he was very talented and thoughtful, because he had a good relationship with Feng Yumin, and he was a good friend. To this end, he even came up with the general idea of ​​"Farewell My Concubine" to seduce Feng Yumin.

It's just that at that time, there was quite a saying in Huaxia TV that the TV drama production center was separated to set up a film and television company. Feng Yumin was thinking about being able to pull it out and do it alone, and thinking about the position of general manager of the film and television company that was very likely to be obtained, so he thought about it again and again. , and finally declined Li Qian's invitation.

However, at that time, Feng Yumin tried his best to persuade Feng Bicheng to go to Minghu Culture, but Feng Bicheng had just become famous in the first battle, and he was considered a wrist in the film circle, and his spirit was at the highest time, and the Minghu Culture at that time In terms of film and television, there is no extraordinary achievement.

In short, with Feng Yumin's arrangement, everyone had a meal together and chatted. At that time, Feng Bicheng left Li Qian with the feeling that even having a meal together, he seemed to have borrowed Feng Yumin's face!

In short, Feng Bicheng was not very interested in the win over Minghu Culture and Li Qian.

So, at that time, the matter was over.

At that time, Feng Bicheng's second film was actually already being planned. The movie "Half a Hero" made the investment bosses make a lot of money, but Feng Bicheng only got a big red envelope in addition to a director fee of 100,000 yuan, a mere 300,000 yuan!

Compared to the pure profit he created for investors, the amount he got by himself is really insignificant!

So, although he didn't fall out, he then found another person to invest in him, and he took advantage of the courage to advance. With the great success of "Half Hero", he pulled up an investment of up to 12 million in one fell swoop, and filmed his first film. The second film "The Heroine of the World" - yes, another urban comedy.

The production cost has quadrupled. There is no doubt that "The Hero of the World" is much more elaborate than "Half a Hero", and even the actors are well-known! Among them, the heroine is a famous domestic actress who was invited at a high price, Wen Yuanyuan, a pure and beautiful girl. It is said that in order to invite her, the producer wrote a check of up to 2 million! At that time, Wen Yuanyuan was actually not worth the price!

However, although that movie allowed Feng Bicheng to get a director fee of 1 million yuan, but after the movie was released, the box office did not get as big as expected!

After entering the summer season of 1999, this "Heroic Heroine", which had been highly anticipated by the domestic film industry in advance, collided head-on with a Hollywood blockbuster, and all of a sudden it was a bloodbath! In the end, it only got a total box office of 13.52 million - there is no doubt that this result is such that investors can't find their graves when they cry!

At that time, his movie hadn't even been released for a month, and before the fourth week, it was hurriedly taken off the assembly line by major theaters.

And then... as you can imagine!

Investors estimated that they even had the heart to kill Feng Bicheng, and Wen Yuanyuan's originally smooth star road suddenly cast a heavy shadow - Xiaohuadan's road should have been slowly brushing her face, It's the safest way to start off by playing and taking the vase route. She has done well before. Although the salary is limited and there are not many plays, she is still one of the few vases in the film circle! Only when it came to this drama, I was too anxious, the price was pulled up, and it also starred in the lead role, but unfortunately, the drama fluttered! So all of a sudden, she, a little vase who had previously been optimistic about the future in the circle, suddenly carried the reputation of "box office poison"!

At the same time, the actors, brokers, investors, etc. who were originally around Feng Bicheng were also scattered in an instant!

The film and television industry and the entertainment industry are such a reality, and everything revolves around fame and profit - when you can bring profits to investors and bring remuneration and fame to actors, you are the king of heaven. , Everyone is holding you, but once you fail, everyone will immediately become a bird and beast!

What's more, with an investment of 12 million yuan, only 13.52 million yuan was recovered at the box office, which is almost a loss for the underwear!

It can be said that "Half a Hero" has a small cost and a large return, and it is still a success against the market. Even if "The Hero of the World" is only a small loss, it is not enough to make everyone completely disappointed in Feng Bicheng.

For those who have been successful, everyone still has some tolerance and waiting.

But the point is, "The Hero of the World" lost too much!

Producers pay! Publisher pays! Cinema business compensation! Even actors have lost their reputation and future! So much so that everyone immediately judged that the success of "Half Hero" was just a coincidence!

Therefore, even in the most realistic Hollywood, there is a so-called "three-film" principle. A successful person has at least three chances to miss, and in China, it is even more doubled for film directors who have made money in the past. There are some advantages, but such a huge loss of "The Hero of the World" still makes Feng Bicheng a complete loser overnight!

The failure of this movie made him not dare to come out and meet people for a full year!

Until last autumn, he finally couldn't hold back a little. People, especially those who have achieved success in the past, always want to be successful again, and it is definitely impossible to stand loneliness.

So, he took the script that he had held back for a year, and began to run around looking for investment again.

Only this time, even if he has the face of his father Feng Yumin, many film and television companies, production companies, and investors are not willing to see him at all! Even if he really can't save his face, just meet him, chat a few words, simply flip through his script, and he will immediately serve tea to the guests!

In a simple sentence, the huge loss of "The Heroine of the World" made everyone in the circle tremble, and no one was willing to believe him or give him any chance!

Today, too.

Trusting a friend, a friend trusting a friend of a friend, and after a few turns, I finally supported someone. I finally persuaded an art director of this production company to agree to meet. In fact, we all knew each other. , and they drank more than once together in those years, but today, people are shy of him, so they have to gently ask friends to talk about it, and they finally reluctantly gave him a chance to meet.

Then, in less than 20 minutes, Feng Bicheng even suspected that the grandson didn't even read the script seriously, but just flipped through it casually. Everyone chatted a little, wentssip, and even reminisced about their past friendship years, and then... people Just say it directly: we can't invest in you, find someone else!

Feng Bicheng is both ashamed and angry!

But there's nothing you can do!

To be honest, when I saw and heard the stories of other people's downfalls, I could not help feeling a little sad, but I always felt that I was separated by a layer and did not touch my heart and lungs very much. This time it was my turn, and I really felt that it was still red. good time!

As long as you are red, what you say is what, how do you do it right!

It is no exaggeration to say that you can analyze the Mediterranean flavor for you!

But once you are on the street, such as yourself who has been reduced to the present, even though your script has been carefully conceived and developed over and over again with great effort, it is definitely a good thing, but, other people even glance at it It doesn't mean anything - you are a director who has made a bad money-losing movie like "The Heroine of the World"!

When he got home, he slumped on the sofa and stared straight at the ceiling - at that moment, just like the previous few times, Feng Bicheng had a feeling of despair in his heart again.

When I was bored, I turned on the TV, and by coincidence, this should be the replay of last night's show - it's that girl again, He Yingyu!

Every time he saw her, Feng Bicheng felt an indescribable irritability in his heart!

In just a few seconds, he didn't even hear what the host on the TV asked He Yingyu, so he turned off the TV again.

Clap!

The remote was smashed to the ground, the TV cover popped up, and the battery collapsed.

He slumped weakly on the sofa again, looking up at the ceiling.

A few days ago, he didn't think about what happened back then. Sometimes he felt that he couldn't take a step forward anymore, and he thought, "It's really not possible. Let's take the old man's face and see if I can go to Li Qian's place." Eat a bowl of rice.

However, just when he felt that his pride was about to be flattened, when he felt that his face was about to succeed in cultivation, he brushed it, and "My Sassy Girl" became popular!

No. 1 at the box office for two consecutive weeks, stunned that it has supported the total box office of 100 million for the Valentine's Day schedule! And the film itself, just two weeks after its release, has earned more than 80 million at the box office!

And what about his cost? It is said that the total investment is just 10 million yuan - the industry practice, this 10 million miles, there will definitely be some sponsorship, advertising and the like, and for Li Qian's coffee position, maybe his 10 million yuan filming system At least half of the cost of the film came from advertisements, and what's more, he might not even have to pay for it himself!

In other words, this movie is definitely a big hit!

As a result, Feng Bicheng also felt that people were more popular and arrogant now, and if he was sent to his door, he would probably be even more disliked by others - who made him reject him so proudly back then!

To save others by oneself, who can not be proud?

I kindly tried to win you over, but you refused, and now you come to seek refuge with me, isn't this looking to be humiliated by me?

So after thinking about it, forget it!

It's just that "My Sassy Girlfriend" is really him. Mom is red!

Li Qian has already achieved fruitful results in the music world. After a few days under his hand, he filmed a TV series and brought Bai Yujing, who disappeared without a trace, into a big red. Now he has started filming, and the first movie has been stable. 100,000,000, actually held up another national goddess He Yingyu!

This million dollar investment is really worth it!

...

While thinking about it, suddenly, the phone rang.

He picked up the phone and glanced at it, and when he saw that it was his father's number, he frowned a little, but in the end, he still got the call.

On the other end of the phone, Feng Yumin's voice was somewhat majestic, "Don't drink alcohol today, don't stay up late, remember to get up early tomorrow, and I'll drive to pick you up! You go out with me!"

"Ah? Why?"

Feng Yumin sighed and said, "Does Cheng Yunshan know? Tomorrow is his 75th birthday!"

Feng Bicheng was stunned for a while and didn't respond, until the other end of the phone said, "Did you hear? No drinking, no..." His eyes suddenly blinked, interrupting his father's words and asking, "You You mean, the birthday of the old man Cheng who sang the Beijing opera?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and he said, "Yes! It is said that Li Qian will also be there tomorrow! I have a good relationship with Fang Shaobai, the eldest disciple of Mr. Cheng. We used to ask him to be the art director several times when we filmed on stage. , I heard the news this time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com I asked him for an invitation. Do you... understand what I mean?"

Feng Bicheng was stunned for a while after hearing the words, and it took a few seconds before he regained his senses. Suddenly, he felt that the whole person was full of energy from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, "Okay! Come on! What do you mean? I understand! Don't worry, I won't drink alcohol today, I won't stay up late, I'll go to bed early! I'll drive to pick you up over there tomorrow!"

"Um."

Feng Yumin agreed with satisfaction.

After hesitating for a moment, he said again: "Don't talk about investing or not investing, there will be no shortage of people at that time, Mr. Cheng has many disciples and grandchildren, let's go there, that is to say a birthday to the old man, and don't mention anything else. It's best to see Li Qian, talk a few words, congratulate him, it doesn't matter if you don't see him, they are all very familiar, and there will be opportunities in the future, I can make an appointment with him, don't always be in a hurry to do things!"

After he finished speaking, he put on his father's majesty again and asked, "Do you understand?"

"Understood! I understand!" Feng Bicheng obeyed obediently, and said, "I promise not to mention anything at that time, everyone will smooth the relationship first, and when we are close, we can say anything! This...I understand!"

On the other end of the phone, Feng Yumin sighed, "Okay, I'll hang up!" After that, he hung up the phone.

On the other side of the phone, as soon as the other end hung up, Feng Bicheng straightened himself off the sofa with a carp, his whole face flashed with excitement, and he muttered: "Whether I can come back from the dead, just look at it! "
