Who was Ning Hao?
To put it simply, he had single-handedly made Huang Bo and Xu Shanzheng famous.
If it weren't for him, one of them might still be a voice actor that no one cared about, while the other would still be stuck in the television industry.
Not to mention, every one of Ning Hao's movies did well at the box office and could earn people a lot of money.
What really attracted Shen Fei was Ning Hao and the Jin Province Gang in the northwest.
That's right.
Where there were people, there would be Jianghu, and naturally, there would be social circles.
There was a circle in Yanjing, which was led by the Huayi Brothers. Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Zhao Baobao, Xu Jinglei, Wang Shuo, Chen Daoming, Ge You, and even Sun Honglei all belonged to this circle.
But similarly, there were circles in the northwest.
The northwest circle belonged to a group of people, mainly including the six directors from Qin and Jin provinces, as well as the actors and screenwriters associated with these directors. Because they always won awards at film festivals, it was also called the award circle.
Under normal circumstances, relationships formed by regions were often not reliable.
The Northwest Circle was a nickname given by outsiders. The organization was loose and lacked a core. Zhang Yimou, Jia Zhangke, Ning Hao, and even Liu Cixin were not enough to become the soul of the circle like Wang Shuo.
Therefore, the common group of people in the capital didn't exist in the northwest.
As a result, before Shen Fei's rebirth, there were all sorts of rumors about the Northwest region fighting openly and secretly, even attacking each other and maliciously slandering each other.
In fact, the northwest circle was more like a motley crew formed by two gangs.
One group consisted of three directors, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, and Wang Anquan, as well as actors such as Gong Huang, Zhang Ziyi, Jiang Wenli, Ma Sichun, Yu Nan, Zhang Yuqi, Yan Ni, Zhang Jiayi, and Guo Tao.
Of course, not all the actors were from Shaanxi Province, but they had a good relationship with several core directors in Shaanxi Province and often worked together.
The other faction was Jin Province's director Jia Zhangke, Ning Hao, and Cao Baoping, as well as the screenwriter Liu Cixin, the young director Han Jie, the actor Zhao Tao, and the actor Han Sanming.
The lineup of the Jin Province Gang was relatively weak, especially in terms of actors. Therefore, there were many supernumerary personnel from outside Jin Province, such as Huang Bo, Xu Shanzheng, Wang Baoqiang, and others who had a good relationship with Ning Hao, and Duan Yihong, who had a good relationship with Cao Baoping.
As acting talents who came from underdeveloped areas, most directors, screenwriters, and actors in the northwestern region did not have the natural resources like those in the Beijing region. Many people had gone through hardships in their development and went through various twists and turns before finally welcoming the turning point of their lives.
Adversity produced talent, and adversity also revealed human nature.
Ning Hao was the core figure of the Jin Provincial Gang.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the unity of the Jin Provincial Gang was largely due to Ning Hao.
Ning Hao and Jia Zhangke's second wife, Zhao Tao, had known each other since they were young. They were even neighbors.
Moreover, he had a good relationship with Cao Baoping, another director from Jin Province in Yanjing.
Cao Baoping had started directing his debut movie, Absolute Emotion, in 2001. He had directed many movies that could be considered representative works, such as Li Mi's Conjecture, Scorching Sun, The Murderer, Thirteen Dogs, and so on.
However, Cao Baoping had always been in Yanjing. Because he was from Jin Province, he couldn't mix with Wang Shuo and the others.
He was different from Jia Zhangke. Jia Zhangke was more focused on promoting the people of Jin Province, while Cao Baoping had no concept of region. As long as his acting skills were good, he would promote them.
For example, Young Master Zhou, Deng Chao, Zhang Hanyu, Wang Baoqiang, Duan Yihong, and Wang Luodan had all worked with him before.
In the eyes of Beijing Film Academy and director Guan Hu, Cao Baoping in real life had no hobbies other than work. He didn't socialize much either. However, Ning Hao got along well with Cao Baoping.
Therefore, if Zhang Yimou maintained the balance of the Shan Provincial Gang with his reputation, then Ning Hao had completely relied on his good relations to unite the Jin Provincial Gang.
And Shen Fei liked Ning Hao because of this.
A director who knew how to mingle in the industry, a director who could gather people's hearts, was undoubtedly very important to Wanli Movies and Television.
Therefore…
That was why Shen Fei offered Ning Hao such a price.
Ning Hao was really shocked after hearing Shen Fei's words.
He had never thought that Boss Shen would recruit him so generously.
He had only filmed a movie, Crazy Stone. Was there a need to value it so much?
Li Wei, who was standing at the side, was also dumbstruck. He looked at Shen Fei speechlessly.
Was this what being rich and willful was like?
He was just a director, yet he wanted to open a studio for him. Wasn't President Shen too nice to Ning Hao?
Little did he know.
Shen Fei didn't only care about Ning Hao.
His goal was, of course, the entire Jin Province Gang!
