This time, Tian Zhengzhuang really didn't lie to Zhang Bufan, this movie called "Sun Tzu Comes from the United States" really has nothing to do with him.

The filming time of this movie happened to be from the late stage of "Killing" to the middle and early stage of "The Great Gold Robbery", at this time, Zhang Bufan happened to be the busiest time, and he didn't care much about the news from the outside world, so he didn't know the news.

Of course, he didn't expect that Tian Xiangzhuang, who had been out of action for almost two years, would make his first comeback as a producer and producer for others.

That's right, since this uncle became a graduate tutor of the Beijing Film Directing Department, he has become more and more "unprofessional", and movies are also made, such as large-scale documentaries such as "Tea Horse Ancient Road-Drum", or commercial films such as "Wolf Disaster".

But at the same time, he also does what screenwriters, producers, producers, etc., and he likes to act more and more, from cameos to supporting roles and even to the protagonist......

After Zhang Bufan learned about this old man's past, he felt that this person was really getting older and more lively.

To get back to the point, this film called "Sun Tzu Comes from the United States" is the first commercial film shot by Qu Jiangtao, but it has a continuous inheritance from the documentaries he made before - this is a film about the inheritance and protection of shadow puppetry.

It's just that on top of this theme, Qu Jiangtao has put on an interesting and touching skin.

This movie roughly tells the story of a couple who are going to Hoh Xil to carry out Tibetan antelope protection work, and entrust their child, a Chinese child, to an old shadow puppet artist Yang Laotou, the two are opposed to each other in terms of living habits, language forms, thinking inertia, etc., but after experiencing a series of stories, they gradually tolerate, accept and love the story.

In addition, there is a line in this movie, which is that the head of the town cultural station invited Old Man Yang to go out to protect and inherit shadow puppetry in the form of mentoring and apprenticeship, but Old Man Yang was very afraid to avoid it because he had experienced the Cultural Revolution and was persecuted, but he was finally persuaded by the stationmaster to take on this responsibility and set up a shadow puppet play and shadow carving art training class.

And the two met this time mainly to discuss the question of how much weight this second line occupies in the movie.

Qu Jiangtao's side wanted to be more vigorous on this line because he was born in documentaries, and Comrade Lao Tian deserved to be a jack-of-all-trades and was more familiar with the film circle, so he suggested that he slightly reduce the weight of this line and focus on the life between the traditional old man in China and the little grandson in foreign countries.

Zhang Bufan hadn't read the script, let alone filmed, but he just listened to the two of them roughly talk, and it was not easy to express his thoughts, well, he didn't have any ideas, so he just sat there and listened to the two of them talk.

Tian Xiangxiang is mainly from the commercial aspect, while Qu Jiangtao pays more attention to the inheritance and protection of culture, and no one can convince anyone after talking for a long time.

In the end, Zhang Bufan couldn't stand it anymore and interjected.

"That, Director Qu, forgive me for taking the liberty of interjecting, it has always been difficult to define whether a movie should be more commercial or more literary, but there is one problem that cannot be ignored, that is, investment, if you are a rich man yourself, you don't have to worry about money at all, then I didn't say it, if you still need to pull investment to make movies...... Commercial films earn box office, literary films win awards, this is the most basic condition for attracting investment, and the former is obviously more effective than the latter, I hope you can also consider this. ”

One sentence made Qu Jiangtao a little silent.

In fact, he has a deeper feeling for this than Zhang Bufan, he has made several documentaries before, one of which won an Oscar, but it is still difficult for him to attract investment when he makes this movie.

After thinking about it, he smiled at Zhang Bufan and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Zhang Er." ”

To be honest, the smile is a little ugly.

In the end, after the meal, he didn't talk about the reason, Tian Zhuangzhuang was obviously not ready to let Zhang Bufan watch the excitement anymore, so he paid the money and said goodbye to leave, but Qu Jiangtao's mentality was okay, and he exchanged contact information with Zhang Bufan.

The business is not very good, Zhang Bufan is not particularly concerned, he has experienced a similar situation before, especially after the death of Zhang's father and mother, those old guests came and found that they had changed to a "little boss", although they said things like mourning, but a considerable number of old guests cultivated by Zhang's father did not come later, to put it bluntly, Zhang Bufan was not at ease with the new chef, but over the years, Zhang Bufan has not accumulated a lot of "new old guests" by himself.

Moreover, there are no guests who are quite to his liking, and he just takes this time to do other things.

At noon that day, just after half past two, the small restaurant was already empty, so Zhang Bufan closed the door, drove the smart out, went to wash the car first, and then drove the brand new car to Seven Impressions.

The filming of "Killing" has already been completed, and now it is in the post-production, Zhang Bufan just came back and talked to that side on the phone, saying that he would go over to see it in the near future, and also give some suggestions to the editor.

Of course, the main purpose of his visit today is not this, but to find Liang Jing, I heard Guan Hu say before, if you want to learn comics, you can find Liang Jing, she seems to know people, but the filming was busy at the time, Zhang Bufan forgot about it, and now he has free time.

Zhang Bufan is also familiar with the seven impressions, and said hello to the girl at the front desk, and he didn't need to be led, so he walked directly to Liang Jing's office and knocked on the door to enter.

"Yo, Zhang'er, why are you here? It's time to watch Amber do the editing?" Liang Jing was a little surprised, this sister was wearing a smart suit, looking like a strong woman, and the midwife in "Killing" was completely two people, and she was also a person who could completely transform for the play.

"No, sister-in-law, I'm looking for you, by the way. Zhang Bufan smiled, sat down opposite Liang Jing, and asked straight to the point: "Sister-in-law, I heard that you know someone who is particularly good at drawing comics?"

"Draw comics?" Liang Jing was stunned, and then smiled: "It's okay, she graduated from the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts, and she felt that there was no future in painting traditional oil paintings and the like, so she turned to draw some comics and other things you said, why are you asking this?"

Zhang Bufan said: "I want to learn. ”

Liang Jing smiled, "What, do you still want to be a painter?"

"No, uh, how can I explain it to you? It has to do with my girlfriend. Zhang Bufan said with a smile.

"Oh, I see, I'm trying to please my girlfriend. Liang Jing smiled: "Okay, then I'll help you contact you, she should also teach students." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Zhang Bufan thanked him.

"What to thank, it's all trivial. Liang Jing said: "Hey, you go to Amber to take a look, his editing doesn't seem to be particularly smooth." ”

Zhang Bufan smiled bitterly, yes, he finally left the crew, but he was even busier.
