Chapter Ninety-Nine: Laughing and Talking about the Film Industry After Drinking
At this time, Zhong Weitian walked slowly to a cabinet, took out a bottle of wine that seemed to be very old, and then came to the table with a smile and introduced: "This is the wine I have treasured for many years. ”
Zhong Weitian is not the same as Ye Xun imagined, as a director who is unique in the Chinese film industry, he has no frame at all, and he is very friendly to others.
This made Ye Xun and Pei Qing both feel a little flattered.
Pei Qing hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Elder Zhong!"
Ye Xun watched Zhong Lao personally pour wine for himself and Pei Qing, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed in his heart, so in order to ease the atmosphere, he touched his head with a smile and said, "Zhong Lao, my head is not round, right?"
When Zhong Lao heard this, he was stunned for a second, and then laughed heartily, "You little guy, you can talk!"
Then the three of them began to chat at the dining table while eating, from the director's style to the atmosphere of the film industry, Zhong Lao's insights are unfathomable, and the angle of looking at the problem is also very tricky, and he also gave Pei Qing some knowledge about directing in the middle, which made Pei Qing excited.
After some exchanges, Ye Xun and Pei Qing immediately felt that they had benefited a lot after listening to Zhong Lao's conversation.
After the meal, the three of them finally talked about the formal topic.
Zhong Lao finally retracted the smile on his face, his expression became serious, and said: "I have also watched the movie Chasing the Dragon recently, as for the evaluation, I can only say three words, very good! Whether it is the level of the director or the density of the plot, it is the upper level, when I was looking for you, I knew all of you, Pei Qing, you used to direct TV series, I think with your strength, it is indeed a condescending talent, you see, you have done a very good job in chasing the dragon this time!"
Listening to Zhong Lao's unsparing praise, Pei Qing was very surprised, and hurriedly nodded in thanks: "Thank you Zhong Lao for your praise." ”
Then Zhong Lao's gaze turned to Ye Xun, a different light appeared in his eyes, and said with a smile: "As for Ye Xun, I also know you, I think it's not enough to describe you as a genius, you have to be called a demon, when I saw the plot of the dragon chasing movie, in an instant, I felt that the story in the movie seemed to be the same as the real one, each character has a very vivid image, and most importantly, the plot is very perfect, no wonder you can write a strange book like "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", it's amazing." ”
Although Ye Xun thought that he was already very thick-skinned, he still felt a little blushing when he listened to Zhong Lao's praise, "Thank you, Zhong Lao!"
"Actually, I want to ask why you guys are making this movie Chasing the Dragon?" Zhong Lao looked at the two of them and asked.
Ye Xun thought about it a little in his heart, and in the end, he still liked the sense of accomplishment after he finished creating a role, and the joy of seeing the whole movie completed.
The two replied very tacitly: "Love!"
Zhong Lao raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's all about love?"
When Pei Qing heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he smiled: "Hehe...... In the following years, I made some very bloody commercial TV series. ”
Ye Xun said: "I'm not because of money, because I don't lack money at all, and I think that today's movies are subconsciously divided into two categories, one is our common movies made for money, commercial films, and the other is pure art, of course, I don't think everyone should pursue art, after all, money is the most down-to-earth most of the time, but I think the current film industry has begun to go to two extremes!"
Saying that, Ye Xun began to stand up, walked back and forth in the living room, and analyzed with emotion: "Some film production teams are purely for the purpose of money, and they do not hesitate to ruin their reputation and make some big bad movies, and at the same time, some film production teams are too conscientious, the quality of the film is good but it is not a hit, and they naturally have no energy to continue filming without money. ”
Bang Bang Bang!
Zhong Weitian applauded very solemnly and praised loudly: "Well said! If other filmmakers could think of this problem, then there would be no such problem." ”
"But!" Zhong Weitian knocked on the table, his tone was a little angry, "The biggest problem is not here, just take the matter of chasing the dragon off the shelves, the General Administration of Film has never been able to let go of their minds and take a step, and now some viewers are also some fools without judgment, in terms of scale, the scale of the Chasing Dragon movie is not as large as the scale of the movies I shot in the early years, there is no reason to be blocked at all, and now, the rules and regulations of the General Administration of Film are becoming more and more strict, how can this make filmmakers make better movies?"
After listening to it, Pei Qing agreed very much in his heart, it can be said that what Zhong Lao said just now is directly to the point, this is the biggest problem in the film industry now, on the one hand, you say that you want to promote the development of movies, and on the other hand, you restrict the subject matter.
It's like if you tie a horse to a stone, and you drive him with a whip and let him be bound by a stone, how can the horse run fast?
Ye Xun then continued: "The atmosphere in the film industry is too bad now, and directors only use traffic to make small students, rather than really powerful actors. ”
"The analysis is quite in place, don't patronize and chat, this wine must be drunk!"
Then the three of them clinked glasses, and the liquor went down their stomachs, and the mellow aroma lingered on the tip of their tongues.
Ye Xun saw Zhong Lao's excited appearance just now, it must have been his words that poked Zhong Lao's heart, three or two glasses of strong wine in his stomach, Ye Xun, who had never been very good at drinking, suddenly felt that the whole person was a little fluttering, and even a little bolder.
After Zhong Lao put down his wine glass, he actually sighed, as if he was a little regretful, "Do you know why I quit the director's circle so early?"
"The current atmosphere is no longer suitable for me to direct, let me use traffic actors with no acting skills, forget it," Zhong Lao looked a little sad when he said this, and then waved his hand and continued, "I'm only fifty-five years old, I have energy, I have the idea to make a few movies, but I'm angry, today's film industry is no longer worth my effort!"
Ye Xun and Pei Qing listened to Zhong Lao's heartfelt words that popped out with the strength of the wine he had just drunk, and they both felt a little sorry that a director who created a genre would be so powerless in the face of today's film industry.
"Elder Zhong, I toast you!" Ye Xun listened to Elder Zhong's words and felt a little empathetic.
The three of them drank another glass, and the tone of the three of them became a little excited, it seemed that they were the most forgetful when they were drunk, and the three of them could be said to have completely spit out the unhappiness in their hearts.
Ye Xun stood in the living room with a wine glass, his voice and shadow were a little shaky, and his words were extremely bold, he shook his hand, his cheeks flushed, and he said emotionally: "I really don't understand, who am I, Ye Xun, the showdown, I don't pretend, the four young people in Kyoto, the hundreds of millions of assets in the family, why do you want to make this little movie, damn, it's not because Lao Tzu likes it! I also want to stimulate the vitality of the film industry, but our Film General Administration is not strong, and I killed my first son in the film industry, you say I'm not angry!"
Zhong Weitian, as a person who is not old, usually drinks well, but now he has not reached Ye Xun's state of confusion, although Ye Xun's current appearance looks very gaffe, but Zhong Weitian does not feel the plan at all, but feels that this kind of Ye Xun is the most free and real!
The words of drunkenness are the words of the heart.
Ye Xun has already said this, Zhong Weitian's thoughts about this young man are only admiration, isn't this momentum for movies the same as when he was young?
Blood-pumping, desperate!
"Then, Ye Xun, do you have any ideas?"
When Ye Xun heard this, he stabilized his shaking pace, pointed to the ceiling, and said impassionedly: "Since the General Administration of Film has banned Chasing Dragon, then I have nothing to fear, since I just started to save the film industry, then I will save it to the end, and I will be on the bar with the General Administration of Film! I can be the founder of new martial arts! Then this time I will be the leader of new movies!"
Ye Xun took advantage of his last sobriety to spit out all his thoughts, and his heart was extremely happy!
Since you have your own system, you must be the strongest existence in the film, music and literary worlds!
"Okay! You start anything today, I can give you the help, I Zhong Weitian will definitely spare no effort!"
Zhong Weitian heard Ye Xun's somewhat confident and even arrogant words, and suddenly felt that his heart that had been silent for many years was awakened, and then loudly promised that since he was already fifty-five years old, it was better to do something that was really beneficial to the Chinese film industry before he was about to be old, and dedicate his last bit of heat to the film industry.
Pei Qing looked at the two of them, one old and one young, as if he saw a spirit of love for movies being passed on from generation to generation, and suddenly felt tears wet his eyes and his heart was hot!
Pei Qing even has a hunch, maybe with the existence of Ye Xun, maybe there can really be different changes in the film industry?
The three of them talked happily, because of the common points they understood in the movie, they felt that they hated to see each other late, and they almost wanted to worship each other in the living room on the spot!
Ye Xun was in a daze and was taken to the room arranged by Zhong Lao by the nanny.
The heaviness of his body made Ye Xun feel that his head was muddy, and when he came to the room, he fell directly on the bed, motionless.
Suddenly, Ye Xun, who was sleeping, suddenly sat up, touched his mobile phone very quickly, and sent a message to Gong Qingqing, "I drank too much with Zhong Lao and Pei Qing, I will sleep first, good night, love you ( ̆³ ̆)" ♥
Somehow, after Ye Xun pressed the send button, he fell straight on the bed and never reacted again, as if the reaction to sitting up just now was a conditioned reflex.
