Chapter 346: Enjoyable Conversation

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping are known as two Zhangs. One is engaged in creation and the other is engaged in management. They are also called golden partners by many people. And now, Erzhang has split?

After Wu Yuchen heard the news, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He was not shocked by the split between the two, after all, this was what happened in his previous life. The key is that in the previous life, the two people had to wait until 2012, after "The Thirteen Hairpins", to split.

And now? It was only 2005, which was a full 7 years ahead of schedule!

Wu Yuchen immediately asked: "What's going on?"

"Director Wu, I have just received news about this matter. It may have just spread in a small area. There are a few rumors. One said that the two had a falling out because of money, and they were dragging their pay to Zhang Yimou; the other said that it was Zhang Weiping seriously interfered with Director Zhang's creation. He wanted to shoot "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" this time, but Zhang Weiping did not agree; there was also talk about something related to Gong Li..."

Wu Yuchen was also thinking secretly as he listened to Cai Yinong's words. There must be a problem with money. Zhang Weiping not only owed Lao Mouzi his salary, but also had problems with the investment and income of several movies. He should have fooled Lao Mouzi a lot.

There is also interference in the creation of Lao Mouzi. This kind of thing is not surprising to Wu Yuchen. Thinking about his previous life, "The Golden Armor", Jay Chou was forced into it. After all, it is not particularly inconsistent; when he waits for the later "Three Guns to Surprise", He forced Xiao Shenyang in, and Lao Mouzi gritted his teeth and agreed, but the result was a big mess. Didn't we break up at that time?

Lao Mouzi's endurance is also very strong, so Wu Yuchen guessed that there must be other reasons besides this that led to the split between the two.

While Wu Yuchen was still thinking, Cai Yinong asked tentatively on the phone:

"Director Wu, do you think we should take this opportunity to recruit Director Zhang?"

Cai Yinong can't decide whether to recruit Zhang Yimou or not. If the boss of another company were changed, they would basically be eager to recruit Lao Mouzi, the sweet potato. But the big boss of Miracle Pictures is Wu Yuchen, who is China’s number one director. Who can figure out what he thinks of Lao Mouzi? Maybe like repels?

Wu Yuchen's heart moved when he heard this. In fact, Miracle Film and Television is not that eager for Lao Mouzi. The company already has his banner. But after all, Lao Mouzi is a talented person, and he doesn't cause trouble. He doesn't have any trouble, he is just an honest person who does his duty and devotes himself to creation. More importantly, if nothing else happens, Lao Mouzi will still be the chief director of the Olympic Games. Which boss would reject such a talent?

Wu Yuchen thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Cai, let me call Senior Brother Zhang to find out the situation first."

"That's the best~"

After Wu Yuchen hung up the phone, he found Lao Mouzi's number. After a pause, he called. After a few beeps, I heard a low and tired voice from the other side: "Hello."

Hearing Lao Mouzi's voice, Wu Yuchen could roughly guess his current state and asked, "Hey, Senior Brother Zhang, are you okay?"

"Junior Brother Wu, I didn't expect that everything would reach you..."

"I just heard some news, and I don't know your current situation or what's going on with Zhang Weiping. But if you have anything useful, feel free to tell me."

"thanks for your concern."

"Senior Brother Zhang, whatever you say is appropriate."

"Zhang Weiping and I... alas!"

Lao Mouzi sighed again. In fact, Wu Yuchen had reminded him a few years ago that Zhang Weiping had money problems. Lao Mouzi was not a pure fool, and he could vaguely feel it. But he just felt that Zhang Weiping's words made sense. As long as it could help him solve problems other than shooting, he didn't want to argue with Zhang Weiping so clearly.

The reasons why he and Zhang Weiping broke up this time were comprehensive.

Last year, Lao Mouzi wanted to film "Riding Alone, Thousands of Miles", but Zhang Weiping interfered with his filming, causing him to break his trust with his idol Ken Takakura. Later, Takakura Ken wrote him a separate letter, asking him to stick to his inner choice of art and not to be restrained and controlled by the producer. When Zhang Weiping learned about this, he became furious, cursed Gao CangJian, and asked Lao Mouzi not to associate with Gao CangJian again.

At the same time, Zhang Weiping wanted Lao Mouzi to film "A City Full of Golden Armor". Lao Mouzi and Gong Li contacted each other and chatted about old things. They learned from Gong Li that Zhang Weiping and his wife had instigated something between them. matter. This also left a haze in Lao Mouzi's heart.

But whether it's money, interference in filming, or his old relationship with Gong Li, Lao Mouzi can tolerate it. The reason why he broke out this time was because his mother came to Zhang Weiping and asked him: "Aren't you and Yimou brothers? Why did you stop him from getting married?"

Back then, the family opposed Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's affair, but now Chen Ting is different. She has given birth to two sons for him. Naturally, his mother wants the two to get married.

As a result, Zhang Weiping reprimanded Zhang Yimou's wife, saying that she was old and foolish, and that rural women had long hair and short knowledge. Now Lao Mouzi couldn't bear it anymore and broke out with Zhang Weiping directly. As soon as such a quarrel broke out, all the hidden dangers that had been laid before were brought out and put on the stage, and eventually the two of them broke up.

"Forget it, let's not mention these things." Lao Mouzi didn't want to talk about the scandal between the two of them everywhere, which would be embarrassing.

When Wu Yuchen heard what Lao Mouzi said, he knew what he was thinking, so he did not continue to ask this question, but instead asked: "Brother Zhang, how are you preparing for the Olympic opening ceremony plan? "

Unexpectedly, I heard Zhang Yimou's somewhat frustrated voice on the phone: "I don't want to do it anymore."

Wu Yuchen was shocked when he heard this. Lao Mouzi was the best candidate for the chief director, why didn't he want to do it? !

Wu Yuchen asked quickly: "No, Senior Brother Zhang, what's going on?"

"Alas, I did what I did in last year's Athens Black 8 Minutes, and the people of the country were not welcome. Now that I have encountered these things again, I think I probably can't do it well. I think I should forget it." Mouzi was a little discouraged in his words.

Obviously, breaking up with Zhang Weiping this time still had a lot of impact on him. Not only did it distract him from his energy, but his overall mood was not very high. In addition, after being scolded like that last year, I am now in an extremely shaken state.

Wu Yuchen was a little anxious after hearing this, and he quickly said: "Brother Zhang, you can't forget it! I'm just waiting to see the opening ceremony directed by you!"

"Haha, Junior Brother Wu, you praise me too much. I think you are more suitable to direct than me~" Lao Mouzi said with a smile.

He really thinks so. Wu Yuchen not only has a good reputation, but is also currently recognized as a creative master. His creativity is often talked about and he has an international perspective. In these aspects, Lao Mouzi felt ashamed. He felt that even if he did it, he would probably not be able to compete with Wu Yuchen, or else just forget it.

Wu Yuchen quickly shook his head: "Brother Zhang, I won't hide it from you. I have some ideas, but I really don't have time to prepare! Look at the "Batman" I have on hand now. I only need a few for one shot. Yue, how can I still have time to prepare the plan for the opening ceremony?

And Brother Zhang, you are really the best candidate in my mind. The opening ceremony should be grand and grand, showing our Chinese culture generously and beautifully. In terms of aesthetic attainments in pictures and colors, I am not as good as you, so you can’t give up! "

"What? You're not prepared?" Lao Mouzi opened his mouth after hearing this.

The Olympic Organizing Committee also called him before. Since then, Lao Mouzi has started to do some preparatory work. Although the plan has only been completed for a small part, it is still in progress, just because the two have broken up now. Things took quite a hit.

But he didn't expect that Wu Yuchen was not even prepared!

"Yes, I plan to go over and recite a poem then. So, Senior Brother Zhang, you really don't give up. I still want to watch your opening ceremony shock the whole world!"

Lao Mouzi was also encouraged by Wu Yuchen's words, and he really regained his energy. If Wu Yuchen himself gave up, then his possibility would be much greater. However, he said modestly: "No matter what, even if my plan is made, it may not be selected by then!"

Wu Yuchen thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, if you can trust me, you can tell me and I will give you some advice."

Wu Yuchen wanted to see if the plan Lao Mouzi planned this time was still the same as in his previous life. If it changed drastically, it would make things a little unpredictable.

"I definitely trust you, Junior Brother Wu! My idea this time is to integrate the four great inventions into the opening ceremony to show the world the splendor of our ancient Chinese civilization..."

After Wu Yuchen listened to Lao Mouzi explain some of his ideas for his four major inventions, he smiled and praised:

"Hmm, Senior Brother Zhang, your idea is great. I have some ideas about papermaking and movable type printing. Please listen to me to see if it's suitable~"

Then Wu Yuchen directly made some supplements and contributions to Lao Mouzi's currently prototype plan, which immediately made Lao Mouzi's vision brighten.

Lao Mouzi slapped his thigh: "Oh! Your idea is really wonderful! I felt that the way I expressed it before was not good, and I was still thinking about how to express it. This really helped me a lot!"

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Zhang, it's just some ideas that you find useful."

Lao Mouzi immediately said: "I have other ideas, namely the Silk Road..."

Just like that, the two had various exchanges about the opening ceremony on the phone. Lao Mouzi did not hesitate to tell Wu Yuchen his plan. Wu Yuchen also kept supplementing him, allowing Lao Mouzi to take action from time to time. cheers.

The two of them were on the phone for two hours. It wasn't until his mouth was dry that Wu Yuchen said: "Brother Zhang, that's it for today. I'm still on the plateau. I feel dizzy. !”

He was not lying. Speaking itself was a physically demanding task. He felt even more deprived of oxygen on the plateau. Wu Yuchen was really feeling a little dizzy at the moment.

"Oh, then you should rest quickly. I didn't expect you to be in hiding! Today's exchange with Junior Brother Wu has made me suddenly enlightened. To be honest, I am embarrassed to say that I made this plan! "

"Hey, Senior Brother Zhang, don't be polite to me about this matter. As long as you take down the chief director and make the opening ceremony beautiful, then everything will be worth it! If you have any questions in the future, Call me anytime to chat! ”

After Lao Mouzi hung up the phone, he still had a happy smile on his face. The more he and Wu Yuchen talked today, the more they became more and more speculative, especially since many of their ideas about the opening ceremony coincided with each other, making him lose track of time.

And this time, his plan was much more complete, and it was almost complete, which made him very happy, and most of the bad mood after breaking up with Zhang Weiping was dispelled. Now, Lao Mouzi is really more confident in running for the director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!

On the other side, Wu Yuchen went to the oxygen concentrator in the house to breathe oxygen for a while, and then he felt better.

Regarding the Olympic Games, since he had already made up his mind not to compete for the director, he might as well help Lao Mouzi. These were the results he saw Lao Mouzi show in his previous life, and it was considered to be returning the property to its original owner.

Wu Yuchen wanted to recruit Lao Mouzi, but he could hear on the phone that Lao Mouzi didn't want to talk about this issue for the time being, especially about Zhang Weiping.

Come to think of it, he and Zhang Weiping have been working together for seven or eight years. Now that they have broken up, they are probably still arguing about many aspects, especially the interest disputes, which probably makes Lao Mouzi feel a little resistant to many brokerage companies.

So Wu Yuchen simply didn't mention this to him for the time being, and let Cai Yinong pay more attention to Lao Mouzi during this period. And he estimated that he and Lao Mouzi would only talk about the opening ceremony today, and Lao Mouzi would inevitably call him again if he encountered any problems later, and he would mention it again when there was a suitable opportunity. Lao Mouzi would come if he wanted to, and he would not force him if he really didn't want to.

Now the snow mountain scenes in Tibet have been filmed, and according to his plan, the next step is to fly directly to Europe. However, Wu Yuchen first let the plane go to Rongcheng, the largest city closest to Tibet.

"Wow! Is this your private plane?" Jiang Qinqin looked at the plane in front of her, and her eyes were also shining with excitement.

Wu Yuchen smiled and said, "To be precise, it belongs to the company, not to me personally. But if you want to use it in the future, feel free to call me."

"Really?"

But then Jiang Qinqin asked again, "How much does it cost to fly a round trip?"

"Hundreds of thousands."

Jiang Qinqin clicked her tongue and shook her hand, saying, "Forget it, it's too wasteful!"

In fact, hundreds of thousands are for domestic use. If it's a long-distance flight like flying to America and Europe, it would cost millions.

Wu Yuchen had already notified the main members of the "Departures" crew to gather in Chengdu. This time he came to pick them up and then fly directly to Europe!
