Chapter 33 Shuangjiang Jiang merges

Time flew by like a sudden, and in a blink of an eye it was the 14th, the day Jiang Liu least expected.

At almost noon that day, Jiang Liu slowly arrived outside the Fuxing Gate. He lingered for a while and prepared several arguments before entering the headquarters.

The houses in the gate are a bit old.

But in the hearts of film and television practitioners, it will always be a place that requires awe.

Following the instructions, Jiang Liu arrived at the office of the Film Bureau. In the crowded corridor, Jiang Liu found the office that asked him to go there.

After knocking on the door and entering according to the rules, Jiang Liu greeted the two people in the office.

The two of them sat and stood, and the one sitting there was obviously Section Chief Yu, who was in his forties, whom Jiang Liu wanted to see.

Standing like a minion is director Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen's overall mental state was extremely poor. He was downcast and his face was blank. It looked like he had been severely punished.

Jiang Wen is a ruthless person.

News that he was planning to film "The Devil Is Coming" was leaked, and the bureau repeatedly ordered him to stop filming.

Jiang Wen turned a deaf ear and resorted to various tricks to hide from the inspections until the film was finished. In order to prevent the bureau from being ordered to hand over the film for review, he directly flew all the film to France for post-production.

After finishing the post-production, I was bold enough to attend the Cannes Film Festival privately.

The Cannes Film Festival concluded. Tony Leung Chiu-wai became the Best Actor at Cannes with Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love" and received numerous accolades.

"The Devil Is Coming", which Jiang Wen directed and starred in, only won the Grand Jury Prize, and became a Muggle as soon as he returned to China.

Jiang Liu was looking forward to watching a good show when he heard Section Chief Yu say: "It's a coincidence that the two people came in tandem. They just formed the merger of the two rivers [Jiang]. Are you two planning to join hands and flow to the sea?"

"The sea is so rough that the boat will capsize and drown people!"

Jiang Wen frowned and looked like he was ready to be beaten and scolded.

If Jiang Liu is not successful, there is nothing wrong with "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" itself, so why satirize him so much.

"Yuke, I didn't do anything wrong. The 36 censors can clearly see that all the martial arts masters in my movie are hidden among the people. What's wrong with the name "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger"? The plot is no better than Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger" "Hidden Dragon" is authentic?"

"Snapped"

Section Chief Yu slapped his desk on the desk without any warning, and shouted: "I'm telling you about "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger"? What is "Along the Railway" about? I don't know what content you filmed?"

"Has the work been reviewed? Did you get written permission to participate in foreign film festivals?"

"If you want to talk about "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger," I'll tell you about "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger." Do you dare to say that the movie didn't touch the edges? Do you know how many places and how many people reported that "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" brought many unstable factors?"

Jiang Liu immediately realized that something was wrong. The real purpose of the bureau's visit was to criticize "Along the Railway".

"If Yu Ke wants to say "Along the Railway," then I won't be stubborn. I thought it was a casual shot, but I didn't think so much about it, so far away." Jiang Liu said nonsensically, as if he was full of grievances.

Knowing that "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" was fine and would not be suddenly taken off the shelves, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

It is true that the box office of "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" may be low, but mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are.

But when he thought of "Along the Railway" and Jiang Wen next to him, Jiang Liu's good mood disappeared instantly, and fine sweat even appeared on his forehead.

Section Chief Yu almost laughed at Jiang Liuqi.

Can we also shoot and play movies?
Do you really think everyone can make movies and long videos?
Science fiction world?

After exhaling, Section Chief Yu looked at Jiang Wen and Jiang Liu up and down while looking through their identity information.

One of them is a famous and talented director, and the other is a young director who has just stepped out of school.

After leaning a little, Section Chief Yu frowned and issued a punishment notice from the bureau: "Jiang Wen, take a good rest for a while and stop thinking about the movie for the time being."

"Jiang Liu, from now on you will be honest and do your job properly, that's all."

The painless punishment made Jiang Liu feel dazed for a moment, and then he felt a burst of ecstasy, completely elated.

He didn't expect such a result at all.

Before he came, he thought that "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" was destined to be released, and the box office harvesting journey ended hastily.I felt a little regretful.

Knowing that he had made a mistake and standing side by side with Jiang Wen, Jiang Liu felt that he was going to be cold, and that he would be banned from directing for at least a few years.

At that moment, Jiang Liu broke out in cold sweat.

Who would have thought that another village would have a bright future.

Jiang Liu was also confused and didn't know how things developed like this.

The next moment, Section Chief Yu announced the answer, which solved Jiang Liu's doubts and made Jiang Wen even more suspicious.

"Jiang Liu, take good care of those children."

"Ah, oh, don't worry, section chief."

Jiang Liu happily agreed.

After walking out of the headquarters, Jiang Liu glanced at the sky. How would a primary school student describe the clouds in the sky? A big marshmallow must be extremely sweet.

"Brother, just laugh if you want."

Jiang Liu pursed his lips tightly and looked up at the sky. His strange look of suppressing a smile fell into Jiang Wen's eyes, which turned into a sign of kindness that the other party did not want to rub salt into his wounds.

He obviously didn't know how the young man next to him could put him, or any other existing director in the world, in his eyes.

Jiang Liu waved his hand: "Let's go first."

"You're here on foot? Where are you staying? Can I give you a ride?"

"No, I'll walk slowly, don't be in a hurry!"

Jiang Liu smiled and refused.

Arriving at a department store drenched in sweat, Jiang Liu took out his pager and patted it, then picked up the store's public phone and called Li Xin.

After just a few paging calls, a soft and crisp "Hello, hello, I'm Li Xin" rang on the other end of the phone.

"I'm Jiang Liu, hosted by Li Da. I'm calling to ask a question. Does one of Etai's affiliated companies have a TV drama production license?"

Compared with Li Xirunwu's silent politeness, Jiang Liu's words on the phone made him look like a barbarian.

"Ah, it's Jiang Liu, long time no see. I don't know what you asked about yet."

"……but"

"you……"

Jiang Liu was unaware of the embarrassment flowing in the air: "But what, you say it first."

Li Xing: "But I can ask someone else for you, what do you want to say?"

"I want to ask, are the dramas broadcast on your station purchased, or are they co-produced by the station?"

"What's the difference?"

Jiang Liu slowed down and explained: "If it is a purchased drama, most of the companies affiliated with your station do not have a [production license]. If it is a co-production, there is a high probability that they will."

"It turns out that this is the truth, so our affiliated companies should not have it." Li Xin whispered.

Jiang Liu was puzzled: "How can you be so sure again?"

"Because we are poor in Taiwan."

After Li Xian finished speaking in a sweet voice, she let out two deep laughs to herself, and she probably covered her mouth and nose.

Jiang Liu thought for a while and felt that Li Xing's statement made some sense, so he said: "Okay then, thank you. Remember to ask me to treat you to dinner when you come to the capital next time."

"Uh... I can't go in a short time, but I can make a note for you first. Just wait a moment, someone is coming..."

Jiang Liu didn't know what else Li Xing had to do, so he waited patiently for a few minutes before any sound came out before he hung up the phone and paid.
