Chapter 358
I just came back from working overtime, so the update is a bit late. I don’t know if there will be anything going on at the company over the weekend tomorrow. What a shame for office workers!
————
A remote teahouse in the suburbs of Yanjing.
Wang Qidong lived relatively close to here, so he arrived early, found a private room by the window on the second floor, sat down, and then took out his cell phone and sent a text message.
Afterwards, he ordered a pot of tea and looked out the window with confused eyes, his thoughts flying to this meeting.
Oriental DreamWorks, Yang Ming!
Wang Qidong never thought that he would have anything to do with these two names again.
If we say a month ago, the two names that caused Wang Qidong the most pain and even disliked being mentioned the most were two names!
However, after this month passed, his mood gradually became calmer and he looked at everything as objectively as usual.
To be fair, his big-investment, big-production, and luxurious cast of "The Legend of Jianghu" is indeed not as good as "The Swordsman" which is now known as the new Kung Fu martial arts.
The ratings are proof of that.
During this period of time, Wang Qidong has been studying the success of "The Swordsman" from beginning to end. It can be said that every detail of this TV series is in his mind, like a treasure.
First of all, the script of "The Swordsman" is more than one level worse than "The Swordsman".
Wang Qidong has already watched the original version of "The Swordsman", and then compared it with "The Swordsman". It is simply a difference between clouds and mud. In other words, his TV series is inherently inferior to "The Swordsman".
"Jianghu".
Every time he thought about this, Wang Qidong wanted to tear up the woman who had been gesticulating in front of him all day long during the filming.
What the hell, Yang Ming is not worthy of carrying shoes at this level.
What made Wang Qidong even more angry was that after he lost in the ring, he passed all the blame on him as the director in the media, saying that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his script, but that the director didn't film it well.
Seeing what ** said in the media, Wang Qidong felt resentful. Even if he failed now and became a lost dog, it was not something that a villain like ** could step on.
What made Wang Qidong feel cold was that neither Baoli Company nor Mr. Zhang had any intention of speaking out for him.
So much so that Wang Qidong has been feeling aggrieved during this period of time.
Yes, he failed in filming the TV series and lost to Yang Ming!
But this is completely a non-war crime. Even Wang Qidong has done a good enough job. If another director comes in, he may not be as good as him!
At least the ratings of this TV series exceeded 10%.
As a director in the film and television industry, Wang Qidong is naturally very aware of the gap between his TV series and his counterpart. It is entirely a matter of shooting style.
Thinking of this, he had to admire in his heart that Yang Ming was a genius and an absolute monster. He redefined the shooting of costume kung fu movies and even created a genre of martial arts movies, which made everyone feel bright.
The failure of his TV series is that he used the same old ideas and used the same old methods to shoot this costume kung fu movie. It is simply incomparable with Yang Ming's so-called martial arts movies.
This is like a kung fu movie made by Wang Qidong using old ideas. No matter how good it is, it is still a cold weapon.
And what Yang Ming calls martial arts movies is machine guns.
Is it possible for cold weapons to defeat machine guns?
It was a blessing not to be massacred.
While Wang Qidong was looking out the window and thinking wildly, he suddenly saw a young man wearing sunglasses walking through the door of the teahouse upstairs.
He knew Yang Ming was coming.
Sure enough, after a while, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a handsome face that he was very familiar with appeared outside.
"Hello, Director Wang!"
"Hello, Director Yang!"
This was the first time the two shook hands, and it was also the first time they met since they met at the premiere of Li Canghai's movie.
However, the hearts and status of the two of them are completely different now.
Yang Ming entered the private room, and Wang Qidong poured him a cup of tea. Neither of them spoke first, and the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became a little deserted.
Yang Mingming took a sip of tea and was about to speak when Wang Qidong took the lead and asked: "Do you want me to sign with your Oriental DreamWorks?"
Hearing Wang Qidong's calm tone, Yang Ming glanced at Wang Qidong in surprise. His expression was calm. From the surface, he couldn't tell what he was thinking. It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him and was just a small matter.
It seems that the other party does not have that kind of persistent hatred towards him and Oriental DreamWorks.
In this case, things will be easier to handle. Yang Ming secretly thought that before coming, he was afraid that Wang Qidong would regard himself and Oriental DreamWorks as mortal enemies because he could not save face or because of failure. In that case, he would not be able to do anything at all.
Possibility of success.
But now it seems that things are promising.
"Well, not bad!" Yang Ming nodded very simply and admitted that Liu Xinsheng was originally going to follow, but after thinking about it, Yang Ming decided to come alone. After all, the relationship between him and Wang Qidong is really great.
Unclear.
Seeing Yang Ming's nod, Wang Qidong's expression finally fluctuated a little. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, with a hint of pride, and he said slowly: "Although I failed, I believe that as long as I release the news of the contract, the entertainment industry will want to sign it."
My company is definitely one of the few, and I really can’t think of any reason for me to choose Oriental DreamWorks.”
Yang Ming knew the meaning of these words very well.
Even though the last drama with him in the ring failed, Wang Qidong's "The Heroes of the River" still had excellent results with a ratings of more than 10%. In other words, he just lost to Yang Ming, but this TV series did not fail.
.
Moreover, as a top director in the film and television industry, Wang Qidong still has great appeal for making TV series. If he chooses to sign a contract with an entertainment company, he will definitely not choose a new company like Oriental DreamWorks, which has been established for less than a year and has insufficient foundation.
.
But Yang Ming naturally dared to come, and he must be very confident in convincing Wang Qidong. He put the script he printed out overnight on the table, and then pushed it in front of Wang Qidong.
"This is?" Wang Qidong looked at Yang Ming questioningly.
"My new script." Yang Mingyan said concisely and comprehensively.
Wang Qidong was shocked. To be honest, for more than a month, he had not only been studying the success of "Swordsman", but also thinking about the specialness of Yang Ming.
It's not the director's technique, nor Yang Ming's famous musical talent, but Yang Ming's unobtrusive screenwriting talent.
The scripts of each of the two TV series "Meteor Garden", "The Prince Turns into a Frog" and "The Swordsman" are extremely exciting. It can be said that Yang Ming can make the scripts of these three TV series to any director.
for this achievement.
Thinking of this, Wang Qidong became very curious when looking at the script in front of him.
So, he couldn't help but open the script in front of him and saw three big characters written in pen on the first page: Jade Guanyin!
Chapter completed!
