China Entertainment: I really don’t want to live with the queen

Chapter 185 Brother Chen, please spare me. The attack on "Suzhou River"

In 1998, domestic films were in a reckless era.

Filmmaking in this era required quotas, also called quotas, which were allocated to state-owned film studios years ago. Without quotas, you could shoot privately, which is an underground film and cannot be released in the country.

Some people are going to ask, if it doesn’t work at home, I should go to the overseas cinema headquarters. It’s a great idea!

The film was released abroad without censorship, and was criticized and banned by name. The Japanese devils such as Lao Lou, Suzhou River, and Lao Jiang were here, a bloody lesson learned from the past.

Therefore, those who dare to get involved in the film business in this era must either have a strong background or be brave. Zhang Weiping is very special...

He has a great ability in serving people, or in other words, licking people!

The movie "My Father and Mother" was invested by Columbia Pictures, and Zhang Yimou contacted Guangxi Film Studio for the quota.

Zhang Weiping didn't pay a penny, so he painlessly acquired the mainland distribution rights and made a lot of money.

The domestic film market is a little better, but Zhang Weiping once again used his old friend Zhang Hupi to invest 3000 million US dollars in "Hero". Zhang Weiping got the financing. He really had to pay for it himself, there was no way!

Lao Zhang summed up life experience, serving...making friends is very important!

The box office of the movie "Love Malatang" is getting higher and higher. A fledgling director working with Xu Chen can create a box office miracle.

What if Zhang Yimou and Xu Chen cooperate?

Slaying dragons and relying on heaven, who can rival me, Zhang Weiping?

"Xu Tianwang is our own king in mainland China. He is no worse than the four kings of Hong Kong. Lao Zhang never thought that Xu Tianwang's acting skills are not worse than Tony Leung..."

Zhang Weiping grabbed Xu Chen's hand enthusiastically, lowered it suddenly, and seamlessly switched topics: "The female comrades in our company heard that King Xu Tianwang was coming, so why not go to the dust early in the morning to wait for King Xu Tian's arrival? Brother Xu, please!”

Disgusting?

That's the key to it. The more disgusting it is, the more truthful it is. I wonder who can resist it.

"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome." Xu Chen smiled lightly.

"Xu Tianwang is unfazed by honor and disgrace at such a young age. Lao Zhang admires him." Zhang Weiping's plan failed.

He has another plan!

…………

New Picture Film Company is very small, with only a few people sparsely waiting at the door of the company.

The elevator stopped, and as soon as Xu Chen and Zhang Weiping got out of the elevator, they saw a fashionable and beautiful female white-collar worker holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Xu Tianwang, welcome to New Picture Film Company to guide the work. I admire you very much. I treasure every album of yours, listen to every song of yours, and deeply appreciate every photo of yours... …”

The female white-collar workers were full of enthusiasm and praised her gushingly.

"Thank you." Xu Chen glanced at the female white-collar worker and cursed: "Old Zhang's aesthetics are really good, no wonder he was able to win Zhang Yimou."

"Mr. Zhang, hasn't Director Zhang arrived yet?" Xu Chen did not have a good impression of Zhang Weiping.

Zhang Weiping is a philistine, with a simple and honest face, but his eyes are always shrewd.

Xu Chen doesn't want to deal with businessmen who are too shrewd.

He was just a dead singer, and he made some money by being reborn, but he had a moral bottom line and couldn't do anything like cheating.

There is no businessman like Zhang Weiping, so I can't believe that I will give Zhang Weiping a chance.

He dared to trick Xu Chen out of his pants!

"King Xu Tian, ​​Lao Zhang is a little late today." Zhang Weiping is a shrewd man.

No matter how big a leader or director is, he can serve him comfortably.

Xu Chen didn't like this tone, so Lao Zhang changed his cultural persona smoothly, carrying a briefcase under his arm, and smiled: "The famous writer Bao Shi is here. Brother Xu, let's go to the tea room to have a cup of tea and sit for a while."

"Okay." Xu Chen nodded.

Talking about the fifth generation of directors in China, literary and artistic films are everywhere, and masterpieces are produced frequently. When it comes to the field of commercial films, let alone masterpieces, the stories are unclear and everyone is blind.

In the final analysis, every literary film by a great director has a good screenwriter.

"My Father and Mother" is adapted from the novella "In Memory" by the famous writer Bao Shi. This novel was published in Chinese Writers and received rave reviews.

A very famous writer in China.

…………

tea room.

Xu Chen met the famous writer Bao Shi.

Bao Shihei is from the province, with a thin face and strong bones. Sitting in front of the window, he is as tall as a poplar, withered but not dead, thin but not stiff, and his eyes are clear and gentle.

Holding a ceramic tea cup in both hands, she stared at the sky outside the window, reflecting the blue sky. The silhouette of the pure black coat revealed loneliness, which gave her a unique writer's tone.

Time is long.

The disgraced Zhang Weiping was like a two-legged lizard in the desert, shouting wildly: "Teacher Bao, this is Xu Chen, Xu Tianwang. Hi, Xu Tianwang has great attainments in music, drama, and novels. I have him to help me this time." , our movie is finished.”

"King Xu Tian, ​​this is the famous Chinese writer Bao Shi."

Zhang Weiping opened his mouth and said: "Teacher Bao has great literary attainments. When I first saw the novel "Memorial", I felt that such a good novel must be made into a movie."

As he said that, Lao Zhang stared at Xu Chen and said enthusiastically: "King Xu Tian, ​​you are the perfect Nuo Yusheng. Your appearance and temperament are unparalleled!"

Basic operations, the entertainment industry is so disgusting, I can't bear to examine myself, whether my status is high after so many years.

Xu Chen reviewed it and found that he deserved it!

"Hello, Mr. Bao, I am Xu Chen." Xu Chen respected cultural people very much.

When he retires, he will find a cultural person to publish an autobiography. He has already thought of a title for the book, and it will be called "I Really Don't Want to Live with the Queen of Heaven". It sounds exciting just thinking about it!

"Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Bao Shi." Bao Shi stared at Xu Chen curiously.

The novel "Memorial" is very short and covers the life of a rural teacher in a few fragments.

Bao Shi was very excited when he received the news that Zhang Yimou was going to adapt the novel into a movie. As a great director, he would gain both fame and fortune.

It turned out that I really got my hands dirty when adapting the novel.

Bao Shi was stupid. The structure of his novel was too simple and had nothing to do with the eight elements of a movie script.

After many revisions, Bao Shi even lived on the set, discussing and revising it with Zhang Yimou anytime and anywhere. As a result, the script was never satisfactory to Zhang Yimou.

Bao Shi looked like his hair was going to be pulled out bald.

Zhang Yimou brought news about Xu Chen and determined the theme of the script, the love story between a rural teacher and a rural girl Zhao Di.

At this point, the script has made rapid progress, and the final draft was published in less than half a month!

"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect that you understand the novel "Memorial" more deeply than I do." Bao Shi was honest and honest.

For the novel I wrote, all the adaptation opinions came from Xu Chen, who was the same as the script creator, but Xu Chen did not sign his name.

Bao Shi felt very sorry that he had plagiarized Xu Chen's work.

Literary people are most taboo about plagiarism.

Bao Shi wiped his hands on his trouser legs, looked embarrassed, and apologized awkwardly: "Mr. Xu, logically, the script should be signed by you. I... well, I deserve it."

sweat……

Xu Chen plagiarized Bao Shi's idea. Now Bao Shi is apologizing to him. He can't do such a thing. He politely said: "Mr. Bao, you are too polite. You created this script. I just made a few small comments. I can't bear it." signature."

The two shook hands politely.

Bao Shi was very polite to Xu Chen, but he was a man of culture and couldn't hold back what he said. He grinned: "Mr. Xu, the innocent blue in Peiping is so blue that it reminds me of the summer nights in Heilongjiang."

sweat……

Is there a connection between blue sky and summer nights?

"Teacher Bao, your pen name is Bao Shi. Why is it called Bao Shi? There can't be Bao Yi or Bao Er in front of it..." Xu Chen was very curious.

Zhou Shuren, nicknamed Lu Xun, nicknamed Xunxing, also known as Zhou Shu, has many trumpets.

"Mr. Xu, I have a pen name Bao Jiu. Bao Yi and Bao Er are not very nice." Bao Shi smiled honestly.

"King Xu Tian, ​​Teacher Bao, I didn't expect that the three of us would feel like old friends when we met. It seems that we were destined to do something great in this life!"

Zhang Weiping was holding a teapot and pouring tea.

After pouring three cups of tea, Zhang Weiping held up the tea cup: "King Xu Tian, ​​Teacher Bao, we will be interviewing actors later, and we will have a drink and chat in the evening. Please allow me to have tea instead of wine. I welcome the two teachers to come and give me guidance. Pengpi Be radiant, be radiant."

Xu Chen and Bao Shi looked at each other, you say it's disgusting, what he said is true, you say it's not disgusting, you always want to give him a slap.

The teacups clinked, and Xu Chen and Bao Shi decided to study the script.

Zhang Weiping didn't understand anything, was sleepy, felt bored, and ignored others.

…………

11:30 a.m., New Picture Films.

In order to impress her dear interviewer, Zhang Ziyi specially wore two thick and long ponytails.

The little girl wears light blue tight jeans, her not too plump buttocks look delicate, a plain white denim jacket, and a red scarf tied around her slender neck.

Her dress is cool and cool, and the red scarf is the finishing touch, which makes her temperament bright and beautiful.

Before entering the door, Zhang Ziyi clenched her fists and cheered herself up: "Zhang Ziyi, you are the best, this role belongs to you."

Arriving at the front desk with two long, slender legs, Zhang Ziyi asked politely: "Hello, sister, I am Zhang Ziyi. Are my parents here for the interview?"

"You are Zhang Ziyi, come in when you come." The receptionist raised his head and stared.

The little girl has a pure appearance, a simple and delicate temperament, and a pure and beautiful smile. Maybe she is the character.

Therefore, the receptionist was polite and led Zhang Ziyi to the interview room. He smiled and asked, "Have you read the script?"

"Teacher, I read the script carefully, and I know it by heart." Zhang Ziyi did not dare to underestimate anyone.

She has a high emotional intelligence and said sweetly: "Sister, are you an actor? I am a Chinese drama major, and I have never seen anyone in school who is prettier than my sister."

"Oh, I'm just a little receptionist." The receptionist touched his face and liked the little girl in front of him more and more.

A few minutes away from each other, the two became sisters.

When we entered, the receptionist said mysteriously: "Sister Zhang, I think the heroine in this movie will most likely be you. Let me tell you, the hero in this movie is a super star. Don't forget it when you get rich in the future. Sister."

"No, sister, I will be the first to repay you when I become rich." Zhang Ziyi's eyes showed excitement.

Zhang Yimou is Zhang Yimou. The movies hire all big stars, and he acted with big stars when he debuted. It doesn't matter if Zhang Tong shoots Xu Chen's MV, I don't care about it!

"Sister, can you tell me the name of the big star?" Zhang Ziyi tilted his head and asked.

Maybe Leslie Cheung, maybe Liu Defa, or any of the four great kings. She thought of Xu Chen by accident and shook her head instantly.

It's possible for anyone, but it's absolutely impossible for Xu Chen. It's not that he's not famous enough, Xu Chen can't act.

"Sister Zhang, you are so lucky. You can reveal this surprise yourself, so I won't be verbose." The receptionist looked envious.

When she debuted, she was able to act with Xu Chen, and her younger sister was so lucky!

"Thank you sister."

Zhang Ziyi felt happy.

In front of the door.

Zhang Ziyi tidied up her appearance, straightened her back, and knocked on the door gently.

After a while, there was a crack in the door, and a pair of eyes came out, recognized Zhang Ziyi, and said: "You are Zhang Ziyi, come in, we are waiting for you." Zhang Ziyi looked at the bright light in the crack of the door, as if it was an omen. As she opens a new chapter in her life, she steps into the starlight with a smile.

The interview room is small, with a coffee table in front of it.

Zhang Ziyi was inevitably nervous when something happened. He stared at the tips of his shoes, prepared himself mentally, raised his head, smiled and said: "Hello teachers, hello Director Zhang, Xu..."

Bang!

Zhang Ziyi's body trembled slightly, like a wave of wicker.

He looked confused, his eyes widened and he looked carefully, but he probably saw something wrong.

If you don’t believe Xie and rub your eyes, yes, it’s him!

It's hard for Zhang Ziyi to describe his mood. He feels like he's doing splits, his hands are not hands, his legs are not legs. He has a sad face, as if he has no soul.

A chill as cold as a poisonous snake surged down her heels to her neck, and she felt the urge to die.

Brother Chen, please spare me!

Zhang Ziyi's slender and well-proportioned legs trembled uncontrollably. He stared at Xu Chen, stumbling and smiling uglier than crying.

He cried and said: "Xu...Xu...Hello, Brother Chen!"

Say it.

Zhang Ziyi straightened up and bowed, and two thick and big braids were slapped on his thighs, like whips.

…………

"Hello Xiaozhang."

Xu Chen looked at Zhang Ziyi with interest and asked knowingly: "Xiao Zhang, are you not feeling well? Do you want to terminate the interview and go to the hospital?"

"King Xu Tian, ​​do you know this little girl?" Zhang Weiping looked at the information.

A Chinese opera student, sophomore, with slits in his eyelids, he glanced from above to below. He has good looks and a skinny figure. In summary, he has nothing to say.

Zhang Yimou was wearing a peaked cap, staring at Zhang Ziyi's pale face, and subconsciously frowned.

There were many actresses interviewed for "My Father and Mother", and Zhang Ziyi was in the worst condition. She was so nervous right after the interview, let alone acting.

He didn't speak.

Xu Chen's control over the movie script exceeded his expectations. If Xu Chen was dissatisfied with the actors, he was also dissatisfied.

of course.

Xu Chen is satisfied with the actor, Zhang Yimou will continue to interview, this is called excellence!

"Chen...Brother Chen, I...I'm fine." Zhang Ziyi spoke fluently.

"Are you really not going to the hospital?" Xu Chen was very interested.

Several pairs of eyes stared at Zhang Ziyi.

She is really talented as an actress. When death is imminent, she is not afraid of the sky or the earth. She stares at Xu Chen with stubborn eyes and says with a pinched neck: "Chen...Brother Chen, I'm fine, please interview me!"

"Okay, scene 64 on page 108 of the script, that's it."

Several other interviewers opened the script and read it word for word. They suddenly smiled and stared at Zhang Ziyi, muttering: "Xu Chen is really narcissistic."

Zhang Ziyi knew the script by heart and immediately thought of the play.

She didn't believe it and opened the script to check it out. She immediately pursed her lips and looked messy.

In this scene, the heroine Zhao Di delivers food to the hero Xu Chen, and finally stands on the hillside and smiles at Xu Chen.

To put it simply, Zhang Ziyi has to perform the passionate emotion of falling in love with Xu Chen at first sight, and at the same time, this scene is very eye-catching.

The description of the script: "Zhao Di's smile seemed to have light shining through it and she could speak. The red leaves all over the mountain reflected her smile, dancing like fire. She fell in love with this volunteer teacher from the city. , If you like it, you just like it, she wants to be good to him..."

Zhang Ziyi was crying. Xu Chen asked her to act out that she fell in love with him at first sight, so why not kill her?

"Xiao Zhang, are you having any difficulty?" Xu Chen said with a smile on his face, "How about... I'll give you a play."

"Thank you, Brother Chen. I can do it alone." Zhang Ziyi gritted his teeth.

Isn't it just that she plays Xu Chen who loves her deeply? She stares at Xu Chen with her eyes, imagining that Xu Chen loves her and dotes on her. The more she thinks about it, the more miserable she becomes. Brother Chen really loves her so much...

She was in so much pain!

The interview always goes on.

Zhang Ziyi is not ready to give up. She will have a chance if death is not imminent.

She closed her eyes slightly, thinking about the acting course in Chinese opera, then opened her eyes slightly, with a smile on her lips and two shallow dimples.

"Xiao Zhang, when you smile, you should show your upper front teeth and be contagious." Xu Chen pointed out the mistake.

Among the girls, Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Dongyu have the purest images.

But in terms of emotional appeal, Zhang Ziyi beats Zhou Dongyu eight blocks.

In the movie, Zhang Ziyi's smile is pure and natural, her eyes are charming and lively, and there is a kind of joy from the heart. When paired with the red leaves all over the mountains and fields in autumn, it is as beautiful as a picture scroll.

"Oh." Zhang Ziyi rubbed her face. She refused to admit defeat and continued to perform.

"No, Xiaozhang, your eyes must be clear. Am I so annoying to you?" Xu Chen spread his hands: "I can't see the slightest bit of liking in your eyes. You don't hate me very much, right?"

"No, no, Brother Chen, how could I hate you! I like you the most!" Zhang Ziyi twirled his fingers and defended in a panic.

Take a deep breath.

She stared at Xu Chen, imagining that Xu Chen was her favorite big chicken drumstick, and it suddenly became more pleasing to her eyes.

"No, my mouth is watering. Xiao Zhang, you are a simple country girl, not a street girl in a red light district." Xu Chen was cruel and ruthless.

The more she talks about Lan Zhang Ziyi's acting skills, the paler her face becomes, and her slender figure is as trembling as a willow.

"King Xu Tian, ​​how about..." Zhang Weiping looked at him with pain in his balls.

If it doesn't suit you, don't want it. The little girl was so aggrieved that she almost cried.

"Xu Chen, you continue." Zhang Yimou was very interested.

Under Xu Chen's targeted training, Zhang Ziyi does seem to be flirting, and the more she watches, the more interesting she becomes.

Xu Chen was not polite and continued to play with Zhang Ziyi, giving him various picky looks and smiles, trying out the scene over and over again. Everyone in Zhang Ziyi was numb.

His whole face was stiff, and whenever he looked at Xu Chen, he subconsciously smiled like a fool.

What a yellow-flowered girl who is very nervous.

"Okay Xiaozhang, let's go back and study hard." Xu Chen simulated a dilemma.

"Chen...Brother Chen!" Zhang Ziyi suddenly woke up.

Go back and study hard, the interview failed!

He stared at Xu Chen stubbornly, his lips pursed, and he turned away and ran out.

out the door.

Zhang Ziyi could no longer control his grievance, and went on a rampage alone, with tears streaming down his face.

"Sister Zhang, what's wrong with you?" The receptionist's eyes followed Zhang Ziyi's light steps.

Then he watched helplessly as she hit her head against the wall, and continued to float out the door with a numb look on her face. Then she floated to the elevator entrance, her face expressionless, her eyes hitting the ground.

Seeing Xu Chen coming out, Zhang Ziyi smiled subconsciously in the elevator.

"..." The front desk turned back, Sister Zhang went crazy!

…………

"Brother Zhang, just Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hao is also good."

After the interview, Xu Chen recommended actors to Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou's eyes under his cap showed deep thoughts.

Zhang Ziyi's temperament is right, and Qin Hao's acting skills are good.

"Xu Chen, I will do as you say. Since you have knocked down Zhang Ziyi, it is up to you to contact her." Zhang Yimou rubbed his lips and continued: "This little girl is very good and deserves to be cultivated."

"Row."

Xu Chen made an invitation by the way: "Brother Zhang, I don't think there's much going on these days. Why don't you take your sister-in-law to Yunnan for a few days? I happen to have a commercial to shoot, and I would like to ask Brother Zhang for some advice."

I wipe it,

Zhang Weiping raised his head and stared at Zhang Yimou and Xu Chen.

My Heavenly Sword is trying to kidnap my Dragon-Slaying Sword. Damn it, I can’t keep the Heavenly Sword.

Zhang Yimou raised his head in confusion, looked deeply at Xu Chen, and was finally defeated by his shamelessness.

Thinking of Xu Chen's targeted audition just now shows that he has a clear understanding of the script performance environment in his mind.

The more I thought about Zhang Yimou, the more interested he became in Xu Chen. He stared at Xu Chen curiously: "Let's get in touch when the time comes. Xu Chen, have you really never studied directing?"

"Really not." Xu Chen shook his head.

"Okay." Zhang Yimou's movie shooting ended.

Just treat this as a vacation.

By the way, I will weigh how much Xu Chen has in his stomach, and also train his acting skills.

…………

The roles in the movie "My Father and Mother" have been finalized, with Zhao Di Zhang Ziyi and Luo Yu giving birth to Xu Chen and their son Qin Hao.

The Qin Chi Wine commercial shooting will take place on March 3rd.

Xu Chen declined Zhang Weiping's request to have dinner together in the evening, not because he disliked Zhang Weiping.

Something is really wrong with him!

Lou Ye's film "Suzhou River" has been completed in post-production at Beijing Film Studio.

Lao Lou was in high spirits, calling for friends, and planned to treat Xu Chen to a casual dinner, and discuss the matter of competing for the "Suzhou River" foreign film festival.

In addition, Lou Ye is going to recommend Xu Chen to a few unlucky friends.

This group of people couldn't get the quota, so they just made some underground movies, and their lives were precarious.

Xu Chen was very generous with the money, could produce soundtracks, and was able to get in touch with the Beijing Film Studio. He was a tailor-made victim...

Gold medal investor!

Lou Ye has 6 brothers, nicknamed "Seven Gentlemen" in the world. Xu Chen would rather call them 7 gourd babies, or 7 unlucky guys!
