According to the relevant regulations of the Film Bureau, double endings are not allowed.

Once discovered, deal with it seriously!

A three-year ban or something like that is a very minor punishment...

Jiang Wen, in 89, was named an outstanding performing artist for the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Republic, the only actor born after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the official seal of the post-50s bar handle - the other is Liu Xiaoqing......

filmed "The Devil is Coming", and then was banned for five years!

“... Why did I force him to commit a crime? I just provided an idea, whether to do it or not, how to do it is his business!"

"You, alas!"

Liu Chang sighed...

"Don't you think this theme is very suitable for the structure of Pan's Labyrinth?"

“... You mean metaphors?"

"Adopt a similar approach, showing the coldness of the system and the restlessness of the human heart in the way of color contrast and image overlap..."

Liu Chang thought for a while: "Okay, I'll suggest him!"

"Then teacher, I'll go back first. ”

“... Take care. ”

Lu Xiaoran left, Liu Chang looked at his back and thought for a long time...

Li Dawei is actually a director in the system, he himself debuted with his mother Liu Guoquan, Liu Guoquan is the director of Beijing Film Factory, so Li Dawei also bears the brand of Beijing Film Studio.

Generally mixed system, very sensitive to this thing...

"The Tale of Two Donkeys", the novel itself is a critique of the system!

However, if you want to make an image, you have to avoid this, otherwise you will need 404...

Liu Chang knows this, Lu Xiaoran also knows it, and Li Dawei obviously knows...

Liu Chang was surprised that Lu Xiaoran could immediately think of making this theme into a narrative structure similar to "Pan Shen's Labyrinth"...

This shows that the moment I got the original novel, the complete image was already presented in Lu Xiaoran's mind!

"This kid..."

......

Lu Xiaoran took a taxi directly to a bar in Houhai.

Ning Hao is waiting for him over there!

On the phone just now, Ning Hao's first sentence was, 'Hurry up and come to Houhai!'

What excites him so much?

It must be the matter of the release!

"Stone" was done in February this year, and then Ning Hao submitted it for review, and then, there was nothing to do with him...

He is just a director, and the largest investor, Xinying Entertainment, does not have distribution rights in the mainland, that is Andy Lau's company - Andy Lau invested in "Stone", if you say that he can see Ning Hao's extraordinary at a glance, it is not very realistic, his original intention is to do charity.

If you think about the movies of those years, apart from big investment and big production, which movie can be watched?

All step on the horse to see piracy!

Houhai, a bar street!

Lu Xiaoran was very familiar with that piece.

Nortel's students are relatively not so difficult to make money, and the crew is at least 3000 episodes...

Especially female students, no matter how poor they are, they can also be the cover girl of the magazine and shoot advertisements, which are thousands of yuan of work, and the better ones can be tens of thousands;

If you almost can, you can go to the bar to sing and dance, sing a song for two or three hundred, you can earn more than a thousand a night, and there are many bars in Houhai, as long as Nortel students are willing to go, they are all rushing to ask for it.

Of course, most of the students are female students, and Lu Xiaoran often has to serve as a cheering audience...

Don't get too familiar with the boss of that piece.

At Yinhaixuan Bar, Ning Hao and Du Jie chatted happily.

"What are you talking about?"

“... Yo, here we go!"

Seeing Lu Xiaoran, Ning Hao took out a bank card from his pocket: "Here, this is 850,000!"

“... Eight hundred and fifty thousand?"

"It's for you according to the investment!"

Lu Xiaoran took the bank card with a smile: "What's the matter?"

Du Jie said: "The third master took a fancy to our movie, and showed it to Warner's people, and then China Film and Warner won the mainland distribution rights at a price of 5 million, which is the first batch of investment shares!"

“... it, make money?"

Ning Hao was also a little excited: "Yes!"

"Warner, Warner of America, So "Stone" can be released in the United States?"

Du Jie: "It's Warner's branch in the mainland, China Film Warner, they have always wanted to intervene in the distribution, and they are very optimistic about "Stone", so they won the distribution!"

Thanks to Warner for sending the plane...

By the way, China Film Warner only released "Stone", "Racing", "Keep Talking" and "The 601st Call" in mainland China, and then disappeared in the history of Chinese films...

What kind of spirit is this?

"Stone", the total cost is 3.6 million, 5 million buyout the mainland issuance, Lu Xiaoran invested 600,000, according to one-sixth of the investment, 850,000...

Very reasonable!

Ning Hao added: "Hong Kong should also be released, and there are copyrights in other places, and the follow-up account sharing will arrive one after another!"

“... Then I'll have a treat tonight, whatever you want!"

"What do you think you're calling for?

......

"They said it would be released in June, by the way, do you have time?"

Lu Xiaoran had a bitter face: "... I want to have something too!"

"The Tale of Two Donkeys" only started filming in September, and Lu Xiaoran is ready to start experiencing life in early July - to run in with the donkey...

Ning Hao: "Haha, if it's okay, just run with me to publicize." ”

"Where's Brother Tao?"

“... Brother Tao is too busy, and he has two notebooks in his hand!"

"How do you run publicity?"

Ning Hao was a little embarrassed, and forcibly explained: "It's just to introduce some interviews or something." ”

How does he know how to run publicity, "Stone" is his first film released in the mainland!

"Interview?"

Du Jie seems to be very experienced: "It's just to talk about interesting things, and you will answer whatever people ask you!"

Ning Hao asked, "How do you know?"

"That's what I do on TV!"

Du Jie is also a sling, and has been following Ning Hao as his photographer...

"Okay, then let's talk about shooting fun things!"

Lu Xiaoran smiled, and continued: "What I just told you on the phone..."

“... You tell me specifically, I don't understand much. ”

"That's right, my teacher introduced a notebook to me..."

Lu Xiaoran told the story of "The Story of Two Donkeys" and Li Dawei, and added at the end: "I just think it's a waste to change such a good book to like that!"

"So, you want to make a double ending?"

“... That's right!"

Ning Hao thought for a while before he spoke: "It's not easy to do!"

Du Jie also nodded: "Yes, once someone reports it, the forbidden guide is certain!"

"Spread out this matter, the risk is borne by the director..."

Indeed, if "The Tale of Two Donkeys" is really made into a double ending, Lu Xiaoran has no, and Li Dawei must have something...

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand: "I'll just say that, if the director doesn't want to, I won't say anything!"

"I don't know about you yet, you must have an idea..."

"It's just that when you were filming "Stone", you kid was not honest and thought too much!"

"It's normal for me to think differently in art!"

"But some directors don't think so, and they will think that you are really deliberately raising the bar with him. ”

"So, if it's easy to communicate, I'll communicate with him directly, and if it's not easy to speak, I'll honestly follow his ideas to film..."

"You're a good director like you. ”

"Don't talk about this," Lu Xiaoran changed the topic, and then asked: "Director, have you considered your next work?"

“... It's too early to think about that, right?"
