Chapter 33 He has rivers and lakes in his heart

On the outskirts of the southern part of Huzhou, there is a small hill.

Locals call it Kunlun.

This name has been used since ancient times.

It is said that a certain ancient official gave it to him when he had no choice but to do so.

"Although the mountain is small, it contains Kunlun. ”

At this time, Kunlun Mountain is clear and jade, and it is full of dazzling.

Chen Junlun, 53, is one of China's premier directors.

Holder of Asian box office records.

At this moment, he was sitting on the wooden steps in front of his house, looking at the Kunlun Mountain in front of him.

The wind is too cold in winter.

His wife took a blanket out of the house and put it over him.

Chen Junlun gently patted the hand on his shoulder.

Signal the other party to go back quickly.

And he sat quietly alone, forming a subtle Danqing picture with the gray sky and the plain silver earth.

It wasn't until I heard a knock on the door outside the courtyard that I got out of this danqing.

......

Wan Xiaofeng This is the first time he has met Chen Junlun himself.

Looks much older than on TV.

When he stood with Hu Jihong, Hu Jihong, who was more than ten years older than him, looked more energetic than him.

Before entering the door, Hu Jihong told him that this small courtyard in the wilderness was Chen Junlun's home.

At first, he didn't believe it.

After getting Hu Jihong's repeated determination.

He believed, but was afraid.

's "33 Days of Broken Love" just stepped on the other party's "Kunlun".

Fans on both sides of the Internet are arguing.

Now I'm going to his house as a guest.

Longtan Tiger's Den, there is no good banquet, probably so.

But when he saw Chen Junlun, all his worries were put down.

Thin as a material, with a sickly face, Chen Junlun is not much of a threat at all.

The three of them sat down around a fire.

Chen Junlun's wife took out a few citrus fruits to entertain.

Hu Jihong chatted with Chen Junlun.

Wan Xiaofeng was bored eating citrus alone.

I don't know how long it took, just when Wan Xiaofeng was about to fall asleep, Chen Junlun took half of the citrus from him.

"I watched your "33 Days of Broken Love", which is good. ”

Let's say that I threw a clove of orange into my mouth, and I chewed it.

Hearing the praise of this great god, Wan Xiaofeng could only say politely:

"Where, where, it's just an ordinary film, it's made purely for money. ”

"The general trend is that my generation is outdated, and commercial films will become the mainstream of the film industry in the future. ”

When he said this, Chen Junlun had an indescribable decline.

Wan Xiaofeng knew that he was telling the truth, but he didn't know how to reply to him, so he could only eat oranges silently.

Everything is moving towards commercialization, and this is the trend of the big times, and no one can stop it.

In a few years, in Chinese films, literature, art, history, and martial arts will become niche, and more films with more commercial value will become the mainstream.

"I've heard your "Sword Like a Dream", a very flavorful song, and your talent should be more than that, so I want to make a deal with you. ”

"What deal?"

"I heard you're a screenwriter?"

"Sort of!"

"Help me with this script!"

"What?"

The orange in Wan Xiaofeng's hand rolled out of the field.

Chen Junlun asked me to write a script for him?

Is there any reason for this?

In addition to being the first director in China, he is also the first screenwriter in China.

Each of his works is written and directed by himself, without exception.

Now this character who stands on the altar of Chinese movies actually broke his own rules and asked me to write a script for him?

Isn't that a joke?

Wan Xiaofeng panicked and hurriedly excused himself.

"Director Chen, Master Chen, don't play tricks on me, a junior, okay?"

"I'm serious. ”

Chen Junlun's expression was very serious, which meant that he was not joking.

"But I don't know how to be historical?"

Wan Xiaofeng knows that most of Chen Junlun's movies are historical themes, but he doesn't know where to lose his historical knowledge for a long time, so isn't it embarrassing for him to write historical scripts?

"Who said I'm going to shoot history?"

Not a historical theme?

"Do you know my first film, the only one that lost money?"

Wan Xiaofeng shook his head.

Chen Junlun sighed and told Wan Xiaofeng about a master's movie past.

......

Chen Junlun is a returnee who studied photography in the United States.

The time he spent studying abroad was the most painful experience for him.

The difference in culture and skin color, he was excluded in the United States.

There is no friend or relatives around him, and the only thing that accompanies him is the martial arts novels he brought from China.

So in addition to studying, he was accompanied by novels every day.

Iron bone tenderness, children of the rivers and lakes, holding the sword of the world......

It's something he has engraved in his heart.

One day, he saw an insignificant piece of news in an entertainment newspaper in the United States.

A martial arts movie in the Chinese film circle, which has set a domestic box office record.

So he had the ambition to make a martial arts film and conquer Hollywood.

However, when his dream was known to the people around him, he was exchanged for merciless ridicule and grievances.

Even his own teacher degraded martial arts and Chinese culture to nothing.

Chen Junlun buried all this in his heart, and secretly vowed that if one day, he would let Hollywood see the charm of martial arts and the wonder of Chinese culture.

After completing his studies, Chen Junlun returned to China and started filming the first movie in his life.

The subject matter is martial arts.

It's a pity that the results are not too good, and the cost is barely recovered.

But in this film, investors discovered his talent for making historical themes.

So next.

One historical movie after another has become a hit, making him hot in the Chinese film industry.

When he was at his most energetic, he decided to dig out the seed in his heart.

With the identity of the first director in the Chinese film industry, he got an investment in a film in the United States. , began his second martial arts.

However, the box office of the movie with an investment of 30 million yuan is less than 8 million, and the movie evaluation is even more unsightly.

This is a movie that made his directorial career nailed to shame.

After the failure, he returned to China and concentrated on filming history in China.

However, if you can't let go of the obsession in your heart, how can your dream end?

When he heard "Sword Like a Dream" from his friend Hu Jihong.

The fire in my heart can no longer be suppressed.

So he asked Hu Jihong to find Wan Xiaofeng.

From Wan Xiaofeng's song, he saw the appearance of the rivers and lakes in his heart.

......

After listening to his story, Wan Xiaofeng could only sigh.

"Another person who is guilty of dream disease. ”

Pure and persistent.

It seems that these days I love to run into such a guy.

Until he left, Wan Xiaofeng didn't ask Chen Junlun for his compensation.

Looking at the appearance of his family with four walls, it is estimated that he will not be too rich.

It's strange that he is obviously a director standing on the altar, but his family background is so shabby.

"If you don't have money, forget it. ”

Although he is a salted fish.

But sometimes, he also wants to do what he can.

As for the remuneration?

Isn't it the best reward to be happy?
