Wu Jianye stayed in Huhai for a week and then returned to Yanjing.

The rest of the days were very comfortable, occasionally going to give classes to the bigwigs of the studio, or going to see Zhu Xuan, the two of them were tired of it for a while, if there was no occasional intrusion of Wu Shuangqing, it would be better.

In the evening, Wu Jianye worked hard to write the script of the movie "New Dragon Gate Inn", including the biography of each character and their life experiences.......

However, when Wu Jianye was working hard to write the script, Dean Cheng Yin found Wu Jianye again.

"How's your martial arts movie script being prepared?"

"It's okay, I'm writing a character biography!" Wu Jianye said with a smile, he didn't expect Cheng Yin to care so much about his new work.

But then seeing Director Cheng Yin's expression of embarrassment, Wu Jianye's heart sighed and asked, "Dean, is there something wrong?"

Cheng Yin looked at Wu Jianye's nervous expression and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't be nervous, in fact, there is another thing I want to talk to you about." ”

Wu Jianye: "If the dean has something, you can just say it!"

There is also a film studio under the Yenching Film Academy, which is the Yenching Youth Film Studio.

The main task of Yenching Youth Film Studio is to cooperate with the teaching plans of each department and complete the film assignments and production internships of middle school students in each teaching session. It is a place for all teachers to carry out creative practice. It can produce 3~4 feature films and several short feature films a year.

Previously, "Small Courtyard", which was filmed by Tian Zhuangzhuang as the chief director and Zhu Yi as the starring role, was produced and filmed by the Youth Film Studio.

Now Cheng Yin has found Wu Jianye, just to ask Wu Jianye if he can write a movie script as the highlight of the youth studio next year.

In recent years, the youth studio has been committed to the works of the students of the college, and its reputation in the domestic studio is not obvious, and the college hopes to improve the status of the youth studio, so after the meeting of the college leaders, I hope that Wu Jianye, a young man, can write a script.

"The martial arts movie you're writing now is definitely not good, the youth studio doesn't have so much money, and the studio also wants this film to be produced by us independently. Cheng Yin first calmed Wu Jianye's emotions.

Although there are many talents among the teachers of the academy, since it is a youth film studio, the academy also hopes to let the young people of the academy take on important responsibilities!

Wu Jianye thought for a while, "New Dragon Gate Inn" is still just writing a character biography, and there is still a long way to go before the script is completed, plus some actors in his mind, some of them have not grown up at this time, but they can complete the tasks of the academy first.

"Since it's the academy's business, I'm naturally duty-bound!" Wu Jianye said immediately after thinking about it.

When Cheng Yin heard Wu Jianye say this, he immediately became happy and said with a smile: "I knew that you kid must be fine." ”

Wu Jianye hurriedly said: "There must be no problem with the script, but whether you can see it or not, Dean, has to say something!"

Cheng Yin said with a smile: "There's no need to hide this from you, the academy will also find a few other teachers to write the script, and when the time comes, we will choose the most suitable one among you!"

Wu Jianye nodded, he didn't have any idea about this, there was a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the academy, although he wrote two scripts, but he could only be said to be one of those outstanding talents in the academy, far from reaching the top position, only after continuous success, can he stand in that position.

"Dean, since the academy is preparing to make this movie for itself, I wonder if there is a candidate for the film director?"

"You kid must be thinking about the position of this director, right?" Cheng Yin saw through Wu Jianye's thoughts at a glance.

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!" Wu Jianye did not hide his thoughts.

"The director has not yet been decided, but I can tell you in advance that you are also among the alternative directors, but in the end, you will have to go through the screening and assessment before you can determine the director candidate!" Cheng Yin said: "But now you should go and prepare this script first!"

"Understood!" Wu Jianye nodded and continued to ask, "Then when will this script school be required?"

"Before the winter holidays!" replied Sung-in.

"Got it!"

.......

After returning to the dormitory, Wu Jianye put away the script of his "New Dragon Gate Inn", put it in a drawer, and took out a notebook again.

If according to Wu Jianye's original intention, the script of the new movie is well established, and it is enough to use the "Alive" he wrote before, but Wu Jianye still underestimated the public opinion of this era after all, with the continuous fermentation of "Alive", this movie has caused a huge response in the domestic literary circle.

It's just that this kind of repercussion is not a good direction, all kinds of criticism followed, if it wasn't for Wu Jianye's pen name, the current life would definitely be difficult.

At this time, Wu Jianye didn't dare to risk the disapproval to propose to shoot this movie, not to mention that according to the fate of this movie in his previous life, even if it was filmed, it would not be screened, and if it was taken to the Youth Film Studio, it might not even be allowed to be filmed.

"Alive" can't be written, so it can only be changed.

The most important thing in Wu Jianye's mind is the movie script, but there are not many people who want to find one that will not invest too much and can cause a huge response.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Jianye finally started writing a new movie script!

"The Red Lantern Hangs High"!

In the end, Wu Jianye decided to use this movie as his stepping stone, the theme of "Alive" is too out of place for this era, the same is true for "Farewell My Concubine", and the investment in the movie "Farewell My Concubine" is too huge.

As for Grange's "Blue Kite", you don't even need to think about it.

The movie "The Red Lantern Hangs High" also brought great glory to Zhang Yimou, let's count the glory brought by this film in his previous life, the 48th Venice International Film Festival - Silver Lion Award, the 48th Venice International Film Festival Women's Film Award, "Film Fortnightly" One of the Top 10 Chinese Films, one of the Top 10 Chinese Films at the 10th Hong Kong Film Awards, International Film Critics Association Awards, Best Foreign Language Film at the 36th Italian David Awards, Best Foreign Language Film at the International Film Critics Association in the United States, and nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 64th Academy Awards.......

A series of awards and nominations all mark the success of this movie, if Wu Jianye can really shoot this movie, then he can really use this movie to become the first person in the fifth generation of filmmakers in China!

As for the investment issue, when the film started filming in another time and space, it claimed to invest 6 million, but that included the copyright fee for the purchase of Su Tong's "Wives and Concubines", and now Su Tong is still studying Chinese at Yenching Normal University, and has not even published his poems, let alone "Wives and Concubines".

And whether it is Zhang Yimou or Gong Li, they were already successful at that time, and their remuneration is also partial, coupled with the price inflation of nearly ten years, it is impossible to use 6 million now.

It can be said that this movie is very much in line with the requirements of the dean, both in terms of investment and content.

A week later!

Wu Jianye came to Cheng Yin's office again.

Looking at the script that Wu Jianye took out, Cheng Yin really wanted to ask Wu Jianye if you wholesale scripts? Or did you not take the tasks assigned by the academy to heart at all, and you took out a movie script so quickly, and your attitude was very improper.

But Cheng Yin didn't say anything, no matter what, let's take a look at the script first, if Wu Jianye is really a script written casually, it is indispensable to be harsh.

The red lantern hangs high!

What is the title of the film, is it the story of the Chinese New Year?

With a skeptical mentality, Cheng Yin began to read the script, and soon he was attracted by the content in the script, and whether Wu Jianye was perfunctory or not, it can also be seen in the story expressed in the script that this script is not a bad script at all, but a rare masterpiece.

The film revolves around the topic of feudal etiquette, telling the story of several aunts and wives of a large family during the Republic of China, who were jealous and caused a series of tragedies.

"The script is very good, it's the ....... of this theme" Cheng Yin looked at the script with a little embarrassment.

"Dean, in fact, I think this theme is also very suitable for our youth film studio shooting, do you think, now the country is talking about reform and opening up, what we want to abandon is this kind of dogma of feudal thought, the Qiao family compound in the movie is such a big family full of feudal ideology and dogma, if we shoot him, isn't it just right to show the beauty of modern society?"

Wu Jianye naturally understood what Cheng Yin was worried about, but this movie was able to be agreed to be filmed in the early nineties and won many domestic awards, which means that this movie is accepted by the domestic mainstream film circle, unlike the movie "Alive", which is directly banned in China!

Sure enough, after listening to Wu Jianye's narration, Cheng Yin thought for a while and asked, "How much do you expect to invest in this movie?"

"1 million should be enough!" Wu Jianye said immediately.

Director Cheng Yin smiled bitterly: "What you said is Ding Kemao, I know that the highest single film production cost of our factory is 1 million!"

After two years of development, the investment in a single film of the Youth Film Studio has risen in the same amount as that of other state-owned studios.

"Dean, the purchase of this film in China Film will almost be able to return to its original cost, if you add foreign screening copyrights, I believe it can make a fortune for our studio!"

"Foreign release?" Director Cheng Yin said with a smile: "You kid is confident in listening, but if you want to sell the copyright of foreign screenings, I'm afraid you have to go through the consent of the Huaxia Film Export and Import Company!"

Huaxia Film Export and Import Company was originally the foreign business output and import office of Huaxia Film Distribution and Projection Company, and later changed to Huaxia Film Export and Import Company on December 31, 1978.

The office is located in the same building as China Film, No. 25 Xinwai Street.

The business scope of the Huaxia Film Export and Import Company includes: selling the cinema distribution rights, television broadcast rights, film and video tapes, audio tapes, and laser discs of Huaxia films, or exporting Huaxia films in other trade and non-trade forms, and is responsible for purchasing audio-visual programs of various carriers mainly films from foreign countries and Hong Kong and Taiwan for domestic distribution, television broadcasting, and data storage, exchanging film distribution rights and film broadcasting rights with foreign film and television production or distribution agencies on the basis of the principle of equality and mutual benefit, participating in international film festivals or film market activities, and participating in film business activities of foreign cultural exchanges and cultural agreementsIt cooperates with relevant parties to organize or independently organize the Huaxia Film Week or the premiere of Huaxia, contracts foreign merchants in cinemas, TV commercials, etc., undertakes the investment of relevant merchants, jointly develops the distribution and screening business of Huaxia films, and edits and publishes "Huaxia Screen" in Chinese and English, which is distributed at home and abroad.

Many of these business scopes were slowly added with the development of Huaxia films and world films, but now, if this film wants to sell foreign exhibition rights as Wu Jianye said, it will definitely not be able to bypass the Huaxia Film Export and Import Company.

Wu Jianye smiled 'hehe', "Dean, this kind of thing is not something that a small person like me can participate in!"

According to Cheng Yin's status in the rivers and lakes, it is impossible for the Huaxia Film Export and Import Company to block him, so this problem is not a problem at all in Wu Jianye's place.

This is the advantage of handling a good relationship with the high-level, even if your film is banned in China, as long as the upper-level route is good, you can still participate in foreign film festivals openly and honestly, and brush yourself up.

So even if the movie "Alive" is banned in China, Zhang Yimou can still take this movie to a foreign film festival to get great glory, and then return to China in a yellow robe.

Naturally, the Grange is smashed, without the consent of the upper echelons, he took "Blue Kite" abroad to participate in the film festival without permission, even if his background is strong, in the end he still ended up with a ten-year ban on filming.

After filming "The Devil is Coming", Jiang Qian was also banned from filming, but unlike Grange Zhuang, Jiang Qian's ban on filming belongs to a sentence at the leadership level, and there is no explicit provision, until the leadership changed positions later, and the new leader said lightly: Why didn't Jiang Qian make movies.

Then Jiang Qian can continue filming.......

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, but I have to wait until the conference agrees to make your movie before I can do it!" Cheng Yin said.

"Then I'll wait for the dean's good news!" Wu Jianye made a joke.

Cheng Yin didn't say anything, waved his hand, and let Wu Jianye go out.

When Wu Jianye went out, he happened to see Tianzhuang Zhuang also walking over with a stack of scripts, and after seeing Wu Jianye, Tianzhuang Zhuang was slightly stunned, pointed to the script in his hand, and asked, "Are you also .......?"

Wu Jianye nodded.

"I'll go sit with you in the evening!" said Grange with a grin, not changing anything about the fact that they were now competitors.

"Cheng!" Wu Jianye also smiled.

Their group is very different from the college students of later generations, that is, their special experience, and their vision for the future, for them to have the current environment, it is already a very good thing, as for the intrigue in the secret, it rarely appears, of course, fair competition no one will admit it!
