In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Xiao met Jiang Suping.

Jiang Suping's dress is very simple, and the skin on his body is also a little dark, looking less like a director, more like a peasant.

When Chen Xiao was looking at Jiang Suping, Jiang Suping was also looking at Chen Xiao.

However, compared to Chen Xiao, Jiang Suping was even more surprised in his heart, although he knew that Chen Xiao was very young, but he didn't expect to be so young.

You must know that the script of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", if you don't have a certain life experience, it is still very difficult to write it.

And he came here this time on the one hand to buy the script, and on the other hand, to discuss the script with Chen Xiao.

But now after seeing Chen Xiao, I am not sure what effect I can discuss.

So Jiang Suping got straight to the point: "I want to buy the script of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", I don't know how much money you are willing to sell." ”

Chen Xiao shook his head: "It's free, no money." ”

Jiang Suping looked at Chen Xiao with some surprise: "Free, or do you want a share of the box office?"

"No, no, no. ”

Chen Xiao hurriedly shook his head: "Director Jiang, what I said is free is literally free, and I don't want to share it, there is only one small condition, that is, the movie premiere can be synchronized in the automobile theater." ”

"Auto theaters?"

Jiang Suping was a little puzzled: "You made that car theater line?"

Jiang Suping is actually not familiar with this automobile theater, but he usually hears people talk about too many special theaters when he chats, and he is not impressed, and he has not specifically understood it.

After all, the automobile theater chain has only been rising for a few months, although they are all insiders, but not everyone is well-informed, and everyone cares about the trends in the circle.

However, it is not harmful for him to have one more theater when the movie is released, so Jiang Suping nodded: "It's okay to release it in your car theater, but I still have to buy the script, so I'll give you 50,000 yuan for the script, what do you think?"

Chen Xiao nodded: "Then according to Director Jiang's meaning." ”

There is no need for him to push around these tens of thousands of yuan.

After that, the two of them chatted with each other, and finally Jiang Suping couldn't help but ask: "Chen Xiao, do you still understand suona for this script you wrote?"

Chen Xiao said: "I don't know suona, I haven't learned the skills of suona, but the connotation of this movie is not suona, suona is just a carrier." ”

Jiang Suping agreed: "You're right, movies are all talkative, and every movie must have its own expression, which is why I fancy this movie." ”

Chen Xiao was stunned, he also deliberately checked the information before meeting Jiang Suping.

knows that this director is a representative of the fourth generation of directors, although he has been making movies for a lifetime, the number of movies he has made is very small, and they are all movies with a strong literary style.

The pace of this style of movie is very slow, and if you can endure it and watch it carefully, you will find that the movie is still very good, but if you can't bear it, you will not be able to watch it at all.

And when the director was filming, he also liked to add private information to the scene, and substituted his own ideas into the movie, wanting to guide the audience's emotions.

Sometimes a casual set can make an effect, but you need to use a variety of colors to express your thoughts.

However, the average audience can't see the difference at all, and in the modern era of fast food culture, it is difficult for anyone to really calm down and seriously experience a movie.

Therefore, although Jiang Suping is an older generation of directors and is very famous in the director circle, most of the audience does not know this director at all.

And now a few sentences of dialogue can also be seen that the old director's literary youth is still very serious.

Chen Xiao smiled and didn't continue the topic, it is difficult for a person like him to understand the idea of this kind of literary director.

So he said casually: "Director Jiang seems to have worked at Yanjing Film School, I know Xia Xunfang who graduated from Yanying, I don't know if Director Jiang recognizes it?"

Jiang Suping smiled: "Xia Xunfang I know, I also taught him at that time, and when he resumed the college entrance examination that year, he was admitted to Yanying, but he didn't study directing at that time, but art, and later started filming by himself after filming a few scenes with others." ”

"Then you are still Director Xia's teacher. Chen Xiao was a little surprised.

"I am the fourth generation of directors, Xia Xunfang is the fifth generation, our two generations have a close relationship, basically there will be a little relationship, which is not surprising. ”

Talking about acquaintances, Jiang Suping also had a topic: "Because of the influence of our education, our fourth generation shoots things more solidly, but their fifth generation is different, they like to shoot some things like yellow earth." ”

"Yellow earth?"

Chen Xiao thought about Xia Xunfang for a while, and couldn't imagine Xia Xunfang's appearance of shooting the yellow earth.

Seeing Chen Xiao's doubts, Jiang Suping said: "This is the change of the times, and the director is also changing, now there are still a few people who are willing to watch the yellow earth, and slowly no one is willing to shoot. ”

Chen Xiao agreed: "Now I don't know how much more convenient digital shooting is than before, so if one doesn't work, I will do it again until I am satisfied." ”

Chen Xiao thought of Xia Xunfang again, and the most said sentence on the set may be 'do it again'.

"Yes, I think I didn't have the opportunity to shoot until I was forty years old after the reform, and the film I shot at that time was very expensive, so the requirements for photography and lighting were very strict. ”

The two chatted, and slowly the topic was introduced to the script of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix".

Chen Xiao asked: "I don't know if Director Jiang will make some changes to this movie." ”

Jiang Suping said: "The simple script and shooting are still different, and sometimes they are also affected by the environment. ”

"What do you think of the end of the script? Maybe we can be flexible at the end. ”

Jiang Suping asked, "What do you say?"

"First of all, now in the script, the master and apprentice insist on blowing suona, even if life is in trouble, I think it is still suona, and it is all the things and inheritance of the older generation, maybe we can change it at the end of the film, for example, ......"

Jiang Suping interrupted: "How do you accept the pop tide of the West, or use suona to blow pop music to express the continuation of culture?"

Chen Xiao nodded, the director seemed to be a little angry.

Jiang Suping said loudly: "! The characters in the script are all real craftsmen, maybe the real craftsmen will be eliminated, but I just want to prove to people that craftsmen once existed." ”

Then Jiang Suping's tone softened, "Maybe some craftsmen have found another way out in the integration of Chinese and Western cultures in the new era, but this does not represent everyone, and this kind of person who insists on sticking to traditional culture is also more worthy of our nostalgia." ”

One of the reasons why Jiang Suping likes this script is because of this unyielding belief, how could he make changes.

Although it may indeed get a better evaluation if he changes it, but is this what he needs?

Movies are not made for the box office, let alone for awards, but to tell a story to the audience.
