Chapter 100: Self-defeating?
Invite Jiang Yun, is it possible to be dominated by the noise?
Zhang Pu naturally thought about it.
He also knows himself very well as a teacher.
Then why did he still want to invite Jiang Yun?
Isn't he afraid?
Zhang Pu is really not afraid.
Or to be precise, it's not that you're not afraid, but that you don't mind.
Zhang Pu didn't care as much about this film as he imagined, nor did he have that much interest. Even if you are dominated by your own teacher, it doesn't matter.
He didn't even mind giving the film to Jiang Yun to direct.
Of course, only if he can direct.
As for why this film was made?
One is because this film is really good, if it can be made and disgusting to some people, why not?
My Zhang said that if I can make a dog popular, then I can make a dog popular!
Walk the talk.
Perhaps, there are surprises at the box office.
If that's the case, why not use it to improve yourself?
He has the original version as a reference, so he has the qualifications to discuss with himself, a famous teacher.
He was not afraid, he didn't mind, and he was even happy to have such a situation.
He wanted to use this movie to see how far he was from a famous director like Jiang Yun when he had the original version as a reference.
He invited Jiang Yun more because he wanted to learn more from him.
How can I learn more?
Constant discussions, constant arguments, and constant collisions with sparks of inspiration.
"Nice script. Jiang Yun put down the script, looked at Zhang Pu, and said, "How did you think of showing it to this old man before filming this time?"
"Is the teacher interested in playing the role of a professor?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
"Me, starring, professor?"
Jiang Yun was stunned, a little surprised, and a little incredulous to look at his student.
You're my student, don't you know what your teacher does?
I'm not an actor.
"Isn't the teacher's ban about to expire? Zhang Pu said with a smile, "What's more, if you appear in this film, you can also guide the students." ”
"Aren't you afraid that to the end, this film will become my work?" Jiang Yun pouted and said.
It is not uncommon for actors to press directors in the circle.
Jiang Yun is not only a famous director, but also Zhang Pu's teacher, if you want to suppress Zhang Pu in the crew, I'm afraid it's easier.
"What's mine is mine, not even a teacher can take it away. It's not mine, and I don't need the teacher to grab it. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
"It's good to have self-confidence. Jiang Yun said with a smile.
"The teacher agreed?" Zhang Pu said, with some surprise in his tone.
"Forget it!" Jiang Yun waved his hand, and then said, "I've long been interested in acting." ”
Jiang Yun is keen on directing, and Zhang Pu naturally knows this.
Even if he was banned from directing, he didn't act, but went to film school to become a teacher.
"After listening to the salary I offered, you will definitely be interested. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
"Salary? You just offer 100 million, and I can't be interested. Jiang Yun pouted and said, there seemed to be a little anger in his words.
"It's so vulgar to talk about money!" Zhang Pu shook his head, the smile on his face still the same.
Jiang Yun understood that he had misunderstood, and his face was much gentler, but he showed a little doubt.
At this time, Zhang Pu took out a script from his bag and handed it to Jiang Yun.
"Hey, are you trying to impress me with a script?" Jiang Yun picked up the script and read it disappreciatively.
"Farewell My Concubine"! The story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji?" Jiang Yun said when he saw the title.
Zhang Pu smiled but said nothing.
"Farewell My Concubine" is naturally not the story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, but the joys and sorrows of the two Peking Opera singers for half a century, showing the thinking and understanding of traditional culture, human living conditions and human nature.
The film has won numerous awards and has been named one of the 100 best films of all time in the world.
Jiang Yun stopped talking, and began to read, the more he watched, the slower he became, and after reading it, he didn't speak, but closed his eyes and pondered, and then picked up the script and read it.
After repeating it several times, when Zhang Pu next to him couldn't sit still, he looked at Zhang Pu and said, "You wrote it?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Pu's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
When he wrote this script, he didn't directly copy it, but also checked a lot of relevant materials and made some minor changes.
"Interested, right?" Zhang Pu smiled and picked up the script of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb".
"I'm even less interested in your movie. Jiang Yun took the script of "Farewell My Concubine" and said, "My interest is all here." ”
"Then you give me back the script. Zhang Pu said.
"Don't even think about it!" Jiang Yun said, "When it comes to me, I can still run." It's not that I look down on you kid. Shoot this script for you, can you shoot it?"
"I wrote the script, why can't I shoot it?" Zhang Pu pouted.
He is naturally self-aware.
He really can't shoot "Farewell My Concubine", even if there is the original version as a reference, it may not be bad if it is filmed.
The changed flavor of "Farewell My Concubine", is it still "Farewell My Concubine"?
"A good screenwriter is a good director?" Jiang Yun said.
For example, director Zhang Ke, I think he will definitely not refuse. Zhang Pu said.
"Shoot Zhang Ke? I'm your teacher, or is he your teacher, are you trying to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors?" When Jiang Yun heard this, he was immediately furious, as if something important was about to be robbed.
"Teacher, your ban expires at the end of the year!" Zhang Pu said, "What's more, how can you deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors by filming the script?"
"You kid dare to give this script to others, don't call me teacher in the future. Jiang Yun said loudly.
"Hey, hey, what are you two doing, why are you arguing all of a sudden?"
Cai Ya came out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife and spoke.
Cai Ya is in her forties, has good maintenance and good temperament. used to be a well-known actor, and almost won the Cannes actress, but now she rarely takes on dramas, and she is occasionally seen in some film and television dramas or movies.
A national first-class actor, his acting skills are beyond doubt.
It's just that she focuses more on teaching. She is a teacher in the acting department of Yenching Film Academy, and Xiao Xue was her student.
"Master, you are judging. The teacher took my pay, but he didn't appear in my films. Zhang Pu hurriedly said.
Zhang Pu was a little annoyed at this time, he felt that he was self-defeating.
After reading the script of "Farewell My Concubine", I am afraid that my teacher is full of this movie, where do I still have the heart to shoot "Loyal Dog Rhubarb"?
Cai Ya looked at Jiang Yun with some surprise, and when she saw his expression, she suddenly showed a little curiosity.
"Did I take a penny from you?" Jiang Yun said stubbornly.
"You took my script. Zhang Pu said.
"You invited your teacher to star in your film and get a script as a salary?" Cai Ya asked with a smile, "What role is worth a script?"
"A professor. Zhang Pu hurriedly said, "I also want to invite my wife to play the role of the professor's wife! You entered the kitchen as soon as you came back just now, and I haven't had time to tell you yet." Master, why don't you take a look at it first, and then help me persuade my teacher?"
