Chapter 224 Our company won’t go bankrupt, right?

He is less than 1.7 meters tall, with a lean build and a thin face that looks older than his age.

As long as he changes into a pair of wrinkled clothes, he is a standard image of an old farmer in northern Shaanxi.

In this life, this was the first time Yang Rui saw the living Zhang Yimou face to face.

He never thought that the Imperial Master would come to see him one day.

In order not to be a "bad guest", he even specially asked Tang Yan to come with him, his attitude was incredibly low.

"Director Yang, I came uninvited. Didn't I disturb your work?" Zhang Yimou smiled, and the wrinkles on his face became even more aged.

"No, no, no, just call me Xiao Yang. This sounds uncomfortable to me." Yang Rui looked frightened. No matter how much he tried to convince himself, he would not dare to show off in front of this person.

Although National Master is a joking title, not everyone is qualified to be given this joking title. Someone who can direct such a grand ceremony as the Olympic opening ceremony is definitely extraordinary.

Besides, there was no grudge in the first place, so there was no need to be cold-faced.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tang Yan very discerningly made an excuse to leave and went to play with Jing Tian.

Zhang Yimou immediately put down the tea cup, suppressed his smile and said: "Xiao Yang, those things on the Internet..."

"Director Zhang, you're not going to make a special trip just for this matter, are you?" Yang Rui said, dumbfounded: "This is obviously someone trying to sow discord, and I'm not stupid, so I won't be fooled."

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Of course I believe you, but now that this matter has developed, it is no longer a matter of whether you believe it or not. We have to find a way to suppress the matter, otherwise it will not be good for you and me."

Yang Rui nodded, this matter has indeed gotten a bit out of control.

A group of his so-called "fans" have begun to frantically dig up dirty information about Zhang Yimou's private life. Even Emperor Gong has begun to be implicated. All kinds of gossip and rumors are flying all over the sky.

As for whether these people wielding hoes were Yang Rui's fans, no one cared. Anyway, when things got big in the end, it was Yang Rui who took the blame.

I have to say that the trader hiding in the shadows has really dark hands.

"Director Zhang, do you know who did this?" Yang Rui asked tentatively.

Zhang Yimou hesitated for a moment, "I probably know who it is, but there is no evidence. It will take some time to collect evidence and process it."

Just have a direction!

Yang Rui said without hesitation: "Director Zhang, how do you want me to cooperate?"

Zhang Yimou narrowed his eyes slightly, "Although it is a rumor, it has also caused a big impact on you. Are you not planning to settle the score with me?"

"What impact? Do you mean the box office bucked the trend?" Yang Rui said with a pinched face, "You don't want to ask me for a share of it, do you?"

Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

After he finished laughing, he patted Yang Rui's shoulder affectionately and said, "You can come and walk around my set when you have time, and we can communicate more."

The boss’s olive branch +1!

Yang Rui quickly said a few polite words. If someone gives you a ladder, that's polite. If you really can't wait to climb up, then you're ignorant.

We have a long way to go, so it won't hurt to make a big boss.

While chatting, Zhang Yimou suddenly asked: "I heard from Xiao Tang that your work here is not going well. The advertising shooting seems to have been suspended?"

Yang Rui smiled and nodded helplessly.

"What's the problem?" Zhang Yimou asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Yang Ran sighed and explained the cause and effect of the matter.

Zhang Yimou became interested when he heard this, "Where is the book? Can you let me see it?"

After a phone call, Xu Fang sent the notebook over in less than five minutes.

Zhang Yimou opened it and read it again, patting his thigh and cheering repeatedly, "Okay, okay, this idea is very good... interesting, the collision of concepts is very interesting..."

After reading the last storyboard, he couldn't help but look up and said: "I like this idea very much, can you let me shoot it?"

"Ah...ah?" Yang Rui was confused on the spot.

Zhang Yimou said with a serious face: "When I was reading the book just now, a lot of pictures suddenly appeared in my mind, and I wanted to connect them through the lens!"

After confirming that EMO was not a joke, Yang Rui said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Director Zhang, they can't even pay any production fees, how can they still have money to hire you to take the shot?"

Zhang Yimou waved his hand with a nonchalant look on his face, "No money, I'll just do it for free. Anyway, there are only a few scenes in total."

At this point, Yang Rui finally came to his senses. This was probably EMO taking the initiative to show his kindness.

Yongheng Bicycle is not willing to pay for it, right? Here comes Lao Zhang!

This is called using force to suppress others!

"Then I'll trouble you, Director Zhang." Yang Rui said with a smile, "I just happened to be able to learn something from you."

This is not a polite statement. EMO's movies may have various shortcomings. The plots are empty, the narratives are messy, the ideas are artificial, and even the core values ​​​​are a little off in the later stages... But it is undeniable that his lens aesthetics and colors

Management definitely deserves the praise of a master.

If you can really steal some experience, you will definitely benefit a lot.

Zhang Yimou chuckled, "But don't be lazy. Before I start work, you have to put something together to clarify the matter between us."

You need to submit your name first, right?

"This is easy to handle." Yang Rui agreed without hesitation.

Half an hour later, when he appeared in front of Manager Guo with Zhang Yimou...poor Manager Guo was in a mess.

We just want to shoot a simple low-cost advertisement. It's outrageous to ask you to get Yang Rui and Jing Tian. Now you can find me a national master to take the photo?

It’s not so outrageous to use a cannon to kill mosquitoes!

Moreover, this man is famous for being a big spender. He often invites tens of thousands of people to come over to perform broadcast exercises and let him shoot commercials... Our company will not go bankrupt, right?

"Don't be stunned, Manager Guo, go report it quickly." Yang Rui said with a smile: "Director Zhang's time is very precious, and it will be too late by the time he regrets it."

Manager Guo suddenly woke up from a dream, apologized repeatedly, and quickly ran to make a phone call to report.

As expected, when the company's senior executives heard the news, they were instantly petrified.

You're so good, why did you invite this big Buddha out?

Now, everyone, you look at me and I look at you, and you have no intention of quarreling at all.

What else are you arguing about?

That's it, I have to give you the money even if I don't give it.

This is Zhang Yimou. If this matter spreads through his mouth... Come on, everyone will no longer need to go out to meet people.

I can't afford to lose that face!

Passed unanimously!

After successfully obtaining the permission, EMO began to revise Yang Rui's script.

He has always had this habit, no matter whose book it is, as long as it passes through his hands, it must be stabbed twice.

When you meet someone with a good temper, we discuss and get along well with each other, but when you meet someone who is equally opinionated... noisy!

In "Red Sorghum", he and Jiang Wen quarreled from beginning to end, almost breaking up the crew.

But now Yang Rui is not qualified to argue with EMO. Anyway, he just modified some details without touching the core, so let him go.

And his top priority now is to quickly suppress the unhealthy tendencies on the Internet.

The rumors have become more and more outrageous, and some people have even begun to fantasize about his year-long relationship with Emperor Gong, connecting these fictitious things into a bloody love triangle, saying that Zhang Emo dissed because he was jealous.

Yang Rui...

With this imagination and writing style, Yang Rui wants to recruit him as a screenwriter.

What's even more outrageous is that he couldn't swallow this breath and flew directly to see Zhang Yimou for a PK, vowing to give the Imperial Master a little Chen Zhen shock...

It's so outrageous that it really can't be tolerated anymore.

After thinking about it for two hours, he finalized the plan and then took Jing Tian and Zhang Yimou with him to shoot.

Seeing Yang Rui's nonsensical jokes on the spot, Zhang Yimou knew that he was almost upset.

"You have a lot of crooked ideas in your mind!"
