In the process of anti-British and anti-riot, many people present were very excited to hear that Xu Wangqiu's new film would involve anti-British and anti-riot content.

Only Liao Yiyuan is calmer: "The British government in Hong Kong has been smearing this history, and the movie you made involves this history, and it will definitely not pass the level of electrical inspection." We made a movie the year before last, which was the story about the police that you told at the beginning, and it didn't go through the trial. It has not been released until now. ”

Xu Wangqiu remembers that in the late 80s, Xiangjiang replaced the electrical inspection system with a grading system, but it is not clear what is going on, and I don't know if there is a way to break the electrical inspection system. But even if the movie can't be released in Xiangjiang, he doesn't care too much: "It doesn't matter if Xiangjiang can't be released, I'm a little famous in the world film industry, and "Cold" was made by me and Truffaut, Bertolucci, and Polanski. As long as the quality of the movie is okay, they will definitely help me speak, I don't have to worry about not being able to sell it, and I will definitely not let Sister Xia Meng lose money. ”

Xu Dunluo said curiously: "How could you make an appointment with Truffaut and them to make such a story." ”

Xu Wangqiu saw that everyone was looking at him curiously, so he briefly talked about the experience of meeting Truffaut and them and making an appointment to make a movie with the same theme.

Liao Yiyuan looked at Xia Meng and smiled: "Xia Meng earned it." This movie was made by Wangqiu and Truffaut and them together, and it will definitely attract huge attention at that time, plus Wangqiu has won the Golden Bear Award, it will definitely sell well overseas at that time. Maybe Wangqiu can get you an award back at the film festival. If we had known that this was the case, we would not have given it to you, and we would have taken the silver. ”

Xia Meng chuckled and said, "We are all our own people, is it better for you to plan with me like this?"

Liao Yiyuan laughed and said: "I mainly saw Wangqiu's Golden Bear Award." In the past, we were suppressed in Xiangjiang, and we didn't have a share in the awards, and we could only go to small film festivals when we went abroad to compete, and we couldn't get into big film festivals. I didn't expect Wangqiu to win the Golden Bear Award, which is the highest award of the three major film festivals. It's remarkable. "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" won the prize in West Berlin, and both the Taiwan and the Freedom Association went crazy, and they hurriedly issued the "Another Cinema" Manifesto. If "Cold" wins an international award, it is estimated that the Freedom Federation and Tong Yuejuan will be really crazy. ”

Xu Wangqiu's heart moved when he heard this: "Taiwan has issued the "Another Film" Declaration?"

Liao Yiyuan knew that Xu Wangqiu was in China, and the news was relatively closed, and he didn't know the situation in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry, and explained: "Yes, they said in the declaration that there are two kinds of films, one is commercial films, and the other is art films. They don't make commercial films, but they want to make another kind of film, which is art films, which is obviously in opposition to your "People's Film Manifesto". ”

Xu Wangqiu remembers that the "Manifesto of Another Film" was launched in 1987 at the initiative of Hou Xiaoxian and others. Unexpectedly, after he published the "People's Film Declaration", the "Another Film" Manifesto was released four years ahead of schedule. He knows that if Taiwan wants to confront him, it is useless to just make a movie declaration, and it must be supported by corresponding policies.

Now that the "Another Cinema" Manifesto has been born, then the support policy should not be far away!

Xu Wangqiu hurriedly asked, "Have they introduced any policies to support Hou Xiaoxian and them?"

Liao Yiyuan nodded secretly when he heard this, Wangqiu was really powerful, and guessed that Taiwan would introduce a support policy, so he said: "At the beginning of this month, the Taiwan Information Bureau launched a counseling fund policy to support art film directors. They also claimed that as long as they agree with Taiwan, both Hong Kong directors and mainland directors can apply to the Information Bureau. ”

Xu Wangqiu heard that Taiwan had really launched the counseling fund policy in advance, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He only has one sentence in his heart, the Taiwan film industry is going to end!

After the dinner, Fu Qi drove Xu Wangqiu and Zhang Yimou back to the dormitory. After Xu Wangqiu returned to the room, he took a hot shower, turned on the TV, and sat on the bed to watch.

The TV is playing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", a TV series that caused a sensation after entering the mainland in 1985 and became the memory of a generation. Even forty years later, when it comes to the most classic "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", many people will still choose this version.

Xu Wangqiu watched Zhu Yin's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" when he was a child, and he didn't have any feelings for the 83 version of "Condor Shooting", and he couldn't watch it after watching it for a few minutes. After changing the channel, he suddenly realized that Liu Jialing, Liang Chaowei and others were admitted to the TVB actor training class in their last life, and they all ran tricks in this TV series. In this life, they were admitted to the Yindu institution and became actors in Yindu, so they should have no chance with this TV series.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Xu Wangqiu turned off the sound of the TV, opened the door and saw that it was Li Lianjie. Behind him stood a girl of eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a beige dress, giving a fresh and lovely feeling. Although the girl has a little baby fat, this face Xu Wangqiu is still very familiar with, it is Liu Jialing.

Xu Wangqiu smiled at Li Lianjie and said, "When I heard the knock, I knew it was you." He smiled at Liu Jialing and said, "You are Liu Jialing, right? I am Xu Wangqiu." Nice to see you. ”

Liu Jialing saw Xu Wangqiu call out her name directly, and said curiously: "How do you know my name?"

Xu Wangqiu explained: "Li Lianjie doesn't have many friends in Xiangjiang, Liu Jialing is one. Li Lianjie also said that Liu Jialing is very beautiful. You are now with Li Lianjie, obviously his friend, and you are so beautiful, it is obviously Liu Jialing. ”

Liu Jialing's cheeks were slightly red when she heard this, she glanced at Li Lianjie lightly, pursed her mouth and said, "He really said that." ”

When Xu Wangqiu saw this scene, he thought to himself, looking at Liu Jialing's appearance, it seems to be interesting to Li Lianjie. Liang Chaowei is also in Yindu, will this relationship become chaotic? Forget it, it's none of my business. What the fuck am I doing with this idleness!" he beckoned: "Everyone is Chinese, and they are all from the same company, and they are all their own people." Hurry on in. ”

Xu Wangqiu led Li Lianjie and Liu Jialing into the room and beckoned them to sit down. Unexpectedly, Liu Jialing took out a pen and notebook and asked Xu Wangqiu to sign for herself. Xu Wangqiu took the notebook and wrote a sentence: "Be a good person and act well." ”

Liu Jialing is a fan of Xu Wangqiu, she watched "Hoe Rape" when she was in Suzhou, and knew Xu Wangqiu's name, after all, everyone said "Lu Xinhua in the south, Xu Wangqiu in the north". After immigrating to Xiangjiang, she was bullied a lot because she was a mainlander. She kept holding her breath in her heart, why are you bullying people. After the box office explosion of "Falcon", Liu Jialing had a feeling of raising her eyebrows, you always look down on us, and now your movies have not been beaten to the ground by Xu Wangqiu. After "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished" won the Golden Bear Award, it caused a sensation throughout Xiangjiang, and she completely became a fan of Xu Wangqiu.

During dinner in the evening, she heard Li Lianjie say that Xu Wangqiu was coming over and wanted to shoot a new film in Xiangjiang. She begged Li Lianjie to come with her to see if she could get a small role and cooperate with her idol.

After chatting for a while, Liu Jialing mustered up the courage to speak: "That, director, I heard that you are going to make a movie in Xiangjiang." I don't know if there's a role for me, even if it's a very small role. ”

Xu Wangqiu knew that Liu Jialing, who was forty or fifty years old, had good acting skills, but he didn't know how eighteen or nineteen-year-old Liu Jialing's acting skills were, so he didn't give a clear answer: "The company will organize auditions every few days." When the time comes, you can try it. ”

The next morning, Xia Meng brought an old man in his sixties. This old man named Zhang Zhiguo is a producer of Yindu and has cooperated with Xia Meng many times. The preparation for the film is very complicated, and a lot of work needs to be done, so Xia Meng asked him to be the producer and assist Xu Wangqiu in completing the movie "Cold".

Yang Zhiguo came to Xiangjiang from the magic capital before liberation, with a strong magic capital accent. When Xu Wangqiu heard Yang Zhiguo's accent, he remembered his master Su Zhensheng, so he talked to him in the Demon Capital dialect. Yang Zhiguo was very happy when he heard that Xu Wangqiu could speak the Demon Capital: "Director Xu, you speak the Demon Capital very well, are you from the Demon Capital?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled: "I am from Xichuan. But my master came out of the magic film circle. My master's name is Su Zhensheng, you are from the magic film circle, you should have heard of it. ”

Zhang Zhiguo heard Su Zhensheng and nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know." From the magic capital movie circle, who doesn't know Su Zhensheng. He is a big star, and he has a very good relationship with Zhao Dan and Zhou Xuan. I've worked with him. He is very kind to people, and he has no arrogance at all. I didn't expect you to be Su Zhensheng's apprentice. Is your master in good health?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled and said, "It's good, I've been making movies recently." However, he stopped being an actor and became a director instead. ”

Zhang Zhiguo said happily: "That's good, that's good." Many people in the film industry in Xiangjiang have come from the magic capital, and they all know your master, and they will be very happy to hear that your master is okay now. ”

Zhang Zhiguo has been in the film industry for decades, has spent time at the Great Wall, and also spent time at Shaw Brothers, and has a strong network of interpersonal relationships. Know which person in which department has a high level, and know who can meet Xu Wangqiu's requirements. With Zhang Zhiguo as the producer, Xu Wangqiu doesn't have to worry about the staff at all. He only needs to wait for Zhang Zhiguo to call people over, and he can communicate with these people.

In the project of communicating with these staff, Xu Wangqiu found that most of these people came from the Demon Capital, or were descendants of immigrants from the Demon Capital, and they were able to speak fluent in the Demon Capital.

Only then did Xu Wangqiu know that most of the top levels of the Xiangjiang film industry spoke the magic capital. Whether it is Xia Mengshi Hui and others from the Zuo faction, or Shao Yifu, Wu Siyuan and others from the You faction, most of them come from the Demon Capital, and they all speak the Demon Capital. Run Run Shaw not only speaks the magic capital dialect himself, but also the actors who can speak the magic capital dialect are particularly easy to win his favor.

In the 50s, if you didn't speak the magic capital dialect in the Xiangjiang film industry, let alone that the protagonist had no part, and the supporting roles would not be in the turn. At that time, there was a saying in the film industry: "Don't understand the language of the magic capital, don't knock on the door of the Shaw Brothers, you have to touch the mold!"

In the last two thousand years or so, under the influence of Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Hong Kong and Taiwan dialect became popular for a while, and many mainland artists deliberately learned to speak in the Hong Kong and Taiwan dialect, feeling particularly foreign. The funniest thing is that some magic artists also learn Hong Kong and Taiwan accents, they don't know that in the Xiangjiang film industry and the entertainment industry, bigwigs often speak the magic capital.

There are a large number of immigrants from the magic capital in the Xiangjiang film industry, and the same is true for the entire Xiangjiang society, Maggie Cheung, Stephen Chow, Wong Kar-wai and other fathers have all passed from the magic capital. This has also brought about a unique phenomenon, and there are endless movies in Xiangjiang movies set in the magic capital of the 3rd and 40s. Wang Jing once said: "My grandfather and father both lived and grew up in the film circle of the magic capital, so I naturally have a special complex for the magic capital, and I have a special affection for the works of the film industry in the magic capital." ”

Because Zhang Zhiguo is a very effective producer, in less than a week, the main creative team of "Cold" was built, and the next step is the most important casting work.
