In the first month, Song Weiyang followed his parents and family to the grave of his grandmother, who had died of illness for decades.

The cemetery is on a small dirt slope on the outskirts of Shenghai, and the tombstones are already a little damaged, but they should be taken care of every year, and the wild grass on the graves is not very deep.

Song Shumin also spent a high price to invite a Taoist priest, calculated the auspicious day, and then bought a cemetery with good feng shui in advance, preparing to move the tomb around the Qingming Festival - even if it is not moved now, it will have to be moved in a few years, because it has been developed nearby.

Next, Song Xinghua took Song Weihong to Rongping to pay New Year's greetings to Song Weiyang's grandparents and grandmothers, and also thanked his in-laws for taking care of their son over the years.

Don't mention these bits and pieces, before the Lantern Festival passed, Song Weiyang set off for the capital.

The courtyard has not been repaired after it was bought, and this time Ma Wei was invited to find an ancient building restoration expert, and invited a decoration company to work together. Since you have bought a courtyard house, you must try to maintain the ancient style, but you can't do without modern equipment, how to perfectly combine ancient and modern, this is a headache.

The decoration company and the ancient building restoration experts came up with several sets of plans last year, and Song Weiyang chose to make a decision this time.

Air conditioning and a fridge are a must, but they can't spoil the overall style. In particular, the air conditioner must not be directly exposed, and the lampshade also needs to be specially designed.

Anyway, the amount of work is very large, and most of the timber in the courtyard is decayed, almost no different from tearing down and rebuilding.

After finalizing the repair plan of the courtyard, Song Weiyang personally visited Jiang Wen under the recommendation of Ma Weidu. There is no way, Shenzhou Technology has contacted several times, but Jiang Wen refuses to accept the advertisement.

It's not that Jiang Wenqing is tall and regards money like dung, but that he has been particularly annoyed recently and is not in the mood to do anything.

"The Devil is Coming" has already been filmed, and it has been reviewed several times but it has not passed. Jiang Wen is now busy cutting films all day long and deleting the so-called "sensitive content". But what exactly is "sensitive content" can only be guessed by individuals, and the person in charge of censorship can't say why.

Friends who do design must have had similar experiences, and finally got the plan done, but were told by superiors or customers that it was not good here and needed to be modified.

It's even worse to make movies in China, because there are dozens of people in charge of censorship, and even the Women's Federation and the Disabled Persons' Federation have come in to see if you have smeared women and disabled people in the movies. In the same way, there is also the religious and ethnic aspect, which must not be touched. When you delete all the sensitive content, the censor says, "It's still not good, you can't shoot like this." ”

Why not? People don't say, you figure it out for yourself.

Editing room.

There was film everywhere, but Jiang Wen was smoking with bloodshot eyes, and he was not afraid of a spark setting the house on fire.

"Knock knock!"

"Who?" Jiang Wen roared, obviously upset to be disturbed.

"Me, old horse. Ma Weidu replied.

Jiang Wen extinguished the cigarette butt, patted his ass to open the door, rubbed his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

"There is a gentleman who wants to see you," Ma Wei stepped aside and introduced, "Xifeng's Song Weiyang Song Boss." ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "Director Jiang, didn't bother you, did you?"

"Come in. Jiang Wen said.

Jiang Wen went back and coiled up all the films on the floor, put them down casually, and spread them on the chair to rub his face vigorously to relieve fatigue.

Ma Wei asked, "Did you stay all night last night?"

"All night. Jiang Wendao.

"Cut?" Ma Wei said.

"Don't cut it, whoever you love," Jiang Wen broke the jar and broke, "This film will definitely not be released in China, and no matter how you cut it, it won't pass the review." ”

Ma Wei was shocked: "You don't want to take it directly to the foreign exhibition, right?"

Jiang Wenzi sighed and said: "Otherwise, the investment budget of this film is 20 million, and I have overspent by 30%, and I must find a way to get some back, otherwise the investors will have to hack me to death." ”

"If you don't kill you, it won't be easy to attract investment next time," Ma Weidu smiled and pointed at Song Weiyang, "There is a big boss here, let him invest in you." ”

Jiang Wen smiled: "Boss Song is also interested in investing in movies?"

Song Weiyang said: "I invested in a Hong Kong film, which was just released during the Spring Festival this year, and I heard that the box office is not bad, and it should be able to recover the cost." If Director Jiang is short of money to make a movie, just open his mouth, I like your "Sunny Day" very much. ”

"Well said," Jiang Wen said with a smile, "You are Lao Ma's friend, and naturally you are also my friend." ”

Yes, with this sentence, it's okay to ask Jiang Wen to shoot an advertisement, they are all old guys in the Beijing circle, and they must give this face.

Ma Wei was curious: "What did you shoot? ”

Jiang Wen got up and hung the plastic tray on the projector: "Take a look for yourself." ”

This is a rough clip of the original clip, with no soundtrack and subtitles yet, but the content is no different from the finished film.

The three of them didn't talk about anything else, just sat quietly and watched the film.

Ma Wei sighed with emotion: "Old Jiang, you are so powerful that you can pass the trial." ”

Jiang Wen looked a little excited: "I don't understand, what can't be reviewed, and I also say that I smeared the Chinese people!" Boss Song, do you say that those who review the film have a brain problem?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "I don't know if you have scandalized the Chinese people in this film, but you must be suspected of beautifying the Japanese army." ”

"I beautify the little devil?" Jiang Wen was angry.

Song Weiyang said: "You can go through the county records of various places, what the Japanese army did in rural China is not as disciplined as in this film." Especially the time period in the film, it should be not long after the Battle of Yuxianggui. In order to fight this battle, the Japanese army drained all the food and ammunition that could be drawn from the rear, and the non-front-line troops of the Japanese army were not even as good as the Eighth Route, and they could only live by robbery or trading. Whether it is the rear or the front line, wherever there are Japanese troops, at this time period, Chinese villages must have been robbed of food. As long as the grain is robbed, it is not just robbery, but also burning, killing, and plundering. What was the situation in the rural areas of the occupied areas at that time? First, the Japanese army had the upper hand and did all kinds of evil; second, the forces behind enemy lines of our army had the upper hand, and the Japanese army was so miserable that they came out to beg for food. There can't be this third situation in your film. ”

Jiang Wen was stunned, he didn't expect Song Weiyang to say this opinion.

Song Weiyang said: "So, when I learned about the actual situation in China at that time, and then watched your movie, I felt very awkward, and it could only be regarded as a pure fable." ”

"Boss Song knows a lot about the history of the war?" Jiang Wen asked.

"I like to read miscellaneous books," Song Weiyang said, "My girlfriend used to study anti-Japanese war literature for a while, and I followed and read a lot of materials at that time." Of course, I'm too nitpicky, and the movie doesn't need to be so serious. But I like to be more serious, such as Japan's "Firefly", many domestic film critics say that it is an anti-war movie, and it is regarded as a masterpiece of Sino-Japanese friendship, and many people even say that they cry when they watch it. Cry a fart, if you contact the historical background at the time, you know that the director of "Firefly" has sinister intentions, that is, an anti-defeat movie. Anti-defeat, not anti-war!"

"It's kind of interesting, you're different from other businessmen I've come into contact with. Jiang Wen said with a smile.
