Yu Bojun is actually really a very talented person.

There is a judgment in the industry that is about the public opinion: a director who can make a good art film, as long as he is enlightened and makes a commercial film, it is simply a lot of money, but the director who makes commercial films all the year round, even if he wants to play literature and art, often plays everywhere.

Yu Bojun is also a bit leaky, but at least in terms of the whole, he has done quite well.

From this point of view, Li Qian may not be qualified to be a good director now, he just has a lot of good things in his mind that people in this time and space don't know, and he has to change the good things that originally only existed in his mind and make them good things recognized by people in this time and space, then he has this qualification, but there is no doubt that he has experienced many years of watching movies in other time and space and being influenced by the industry, and he is a qualified senior moviegoer, and at least a third-rate film critic.

Therefore, with a full score of 10, he can give Yu Bojun's "Love of Green Onions" a score of 6.5 - not high, but at least, it is already above the passing line and the level line.

And if you take into account that Yu Bojun has one film a year before, and it is the so-called urban romance film every year, the first time he shoots a movie like "The Love of Green Onions", he can come up with this kind of quality...... All you can say is that he's really talented, it's just that he's been wasted too much before.

It's just that if you want to shoot "Alive" at this level, obviously, it's a little bit less interesting.

In Yu Bojun's film studio in Shuncheonfu, the screening in the screening room is over.

Yu Bojun got up and turned on the light, and said, "What's the matter?" Or a different place?"

Today. It was the first time I met people after the first cut of "The Love of Green Onions". The relationship is not close enough, and Yu Bojun didn't call it, so the few people in the house at this time are acquaintances with each other.

Cao Zhan, Li Qian, Zhao He.

Originally, Jin Han agreed to come, after all, he was the chief photographer of the play, but he jumped the ticket.

Zhao He thought for a moment. Said: "I think it's not bad, it's all out, I can't say how great it is, but at least, the standard is good." ”

Yu Bojun raised his eyebrows and looked at Cao Zhan.

Cao Zhan rubbed his nose, "In some places, it's still a little rough." ”

Yu Bojun nodded, and after a while, he saw that Cao Zhan had no intention of continuing. He turned his head to look at Li Qian.

Li Qian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Okay." Or do you listen badly?"

Yu Bojun said directly: "Nonsense!"

Li Qian smiled, "I'm afraid of hitting you!"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Zhan and Zhao He also looked at it, and Yu Bojun's eyes lit up, and he sat on the armrest of the luxury seat next to him, "Say!"

Li Qian thought for a while and said: "It's above the level! I don't know if you lose money or not, your own family is a theater, and you know how to publish, you know this better than me, but at least, I think it's not a shame to take out this film, you can be generous and modest, and say that there are still many deficiencies, but everyone, especially those who have watched your previous films, will be impressed by you......!

Li Qian smiled, paused, and said, "At this level, I'm still afraid that you will shoot that "Alive" blindly!"

Yu Bojun snapped his fingers, "I knew that you had so much foreshadowing in front of you, just for this sentence in the future!"

Cao Zhan and Zhao He both laughed when they heard this.

Zhao Hedao: "It's not that exaggerated, what I Li Qian said earlier is very right, in this film, your progress is still quite big and obvious." ”

Cao Zhan smiled and hugged his shoulders, "Qian said everything I wanted to say later, and I would save trouble." ”

Yu Bojun sighed, he was there to pout his teeth.

After a long time, he asked, "This level...... Isn't there a shame?"

The other three people almost said in unison, "No shame!"

Yu Bojun nodded, "Yes, let's change places, my brothers will help me point to the finger paintings, see where to check and fill in the gaps or something, and I'll cut it again when I go back." Okay, after I'm done, tonight, I'm in for a treat, don't run away, I've been in the house for two months, tonight, I'll get drunk and rest!"

Cao Zhan took out a cigar with his hand, but he didn't light it, and played with it, "I'm fine, I guess Qian doesn't have this kung fu!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Qian.

Li Qian raised his hand and tapped his forehead, and without waiting for Yu Bojun to speak, he said, "Recently...... It's a little busy, but, okay, for the sake of Brother Yu holding back in the editing room for two months, I'll respond to this game today. ”

Yu Bojun snapped his fingers again, "This is a brother!"

…………

“…… Anyway, I think that this change in this paragraph, although it is not abrupt, but in short, it feels a little wrong. If you think about it, Green Blossom is illiterate, and you expect her to communicate with a literary young man a few times, and her head will be full of literary thoughts? I remember clearly, I discussed this paragraph with Qian and I at the beginning, and our script is not written like this! I think you still have to add that scene!"

"No, no, this paragraph you said, when I cut the film, I carefully weighed it for half a month, while cutting something else, I was still thinking back and forth! Plus this little foreshadowing is nothing, that's a four-and-a-half-minute plot, you know, this means that the rhythm will be slower, it will make this section of foreshadowing, it will seem more lengthy, the audience can't stand it, believe me, I know very well what the audience will feel when they watch this paragraph, they will either fall asleep, or leave the scene early, or ...... Hehe, scold my mother!"

"How is it possible! I've endured you for 70 minutes, and I can't stand the last four or five minutes? Let me tell you, the people who will buy tickets to watch this movie are no longer the audiences you used to be, and they are all mentally prepared for the dull rhythm of literary films!"

talked about things in the afternoon and drank in the evening, but not only did they talk in the afternoon, but in the evening, the wine bureau was opened, and while they were talking, Yu Bojun and Cao Zhan got together again.

Seeing the two of them fighting there with red faces and thick necks, Li Qian remembered that when he was in the crew, he was exactly the same as the two of them now, when he was for a shot and a light. can talk to Jin Han for a long time. Even to the point of quarreling in the end. Both of them shouted loudly, scaring a crew that no one dared to squeak.

When filming, I also feel tired, but more often than not, the excitement dominates everything, I sleep very little every day, but I am energetic every day, and I look back after filming: I am really tired!

As Zhao He also joined the battle group, he stood in a group with Yu Bojun. Quarreling with Cao Zhan together, Cao Zhan argued with them for a while, turned his head to see that Li Qian had been idle drinking and playing, and called him, "Qian, what do you think?"

Li Qian put down his wine glass, thought about it, looked at Yu Bojun, and said, "Brother Yu, I actually think so." Think about it from a different angle, maybe it can help you clear your mind. ”

All three looked at him. A look of deafness.

Li Qian said: "You should think about it carefully, think clearly, who are you making this film for, and who are you shooting it for! What do you care more about, is it the box office, or word of mouth? Of course you want both, but there is always something more important, right?"

Seeing that the three of them all looked thoughtful, Li Qian smiled and said: "I don't necessarily understand other things, but I think as far as movies are concerned, my point of view is that if you want to take a path, you should do it to the extreme, and don't try to be left and right! At least, when our level is not so high and so easy, don't think about pleasing both sides, because it's impossible!"

Speaking of this, Li Qian smiled and said: "This morning, Lao Jin came to me, and then, 3.5 million, I signed for him on the spot, we all know that we will definitely lose money, but I told him, since you want to play this, don't worry about the box office or not, if you want to play, just have fun, and pour out all the thoughts in your heart! This is a good game, and then honestly come back to shoot what I want!"

Zhao He suddenly laughed when he heard this, pointed at Li Qian, and said to Yu Bojun and Cao Zhan: "I don't know if you feel this way! I have known Qian for a shorter time than you, but in terms of the three or four months of hard work, especially in the crew, I tell you, my feeling is that this guy doesn't look like a twenty-year-old person at all.

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Bojun and Cao Zhan had already burst into laughter.

Yu Bojun couldn't help but say at that time: "You just realized it!"

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Otherwise, you think that Lao Cao and I love to play with a little kid so much?"

Li Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Everyone laughed for a while, and Yu Bojun suddenly came back to his senses and slapped his head, "I said that this grandson won't come!

After finishing speaking, he smiled again, then shook his head and nodded again, "That's right, Lao Tzu is now also a fucking director of literary films!

Cao Zhan smiled with Zhao He without saying a word.

But Li Qian stretched out his hand to stop him at that time, "Brother Yu, I have to refute this, art and business are not contradictory, although most people may really not be able to do perfect integration and perfect unity, but it does not mean that others are also not good...... Don't look at me, I'm not talking about myself!"

After a pause, he smiled and said: "My news is not accurate, I just know, if it is fast, at the end of this year, if it is slow, you will see an epoch-making blockbuster next summer!

The other three exchanged glances with each other, and Yu Bojun asked, "Hollywood?"

Li Qian nodded, "Hollywood!"

Cao Zhan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then the blockbuster you said seems to be in a bad time, from our country, it is estimated that it will not be able to get such a high box office as expected!"

After saying that, he himself sighed first.

Then, in the private room, which was still in full swing just now, the atmosphere suddenly dropped.

Yes, this year's domestic record market and theatrical performance market are all big hits, but the film market has suffered an unprecedented recession!

In 1995, the domestic box office of the whole year was only more than 5.3 billion, and further forward, the domestic box office in 1990 was only 2.2 billion, and last year, that is, in 1997, the total box office of the national film was already as high as more than 8 billion - in eight years, the total domestic annual box office quadrupled!

This growth rate is said to be barely comparable to the US box office market in the late 80s to early 90s, but compared with the data of 97, the US box office has quadrupled, and it has to be retreated to 1985 to start calculating, and they used it for 12 years!

Of course, the total box office base in the United States is relatively large, so its doubling growth and its scale are even more dazzling in comparison, which is not comparable to the current domestic box office market.

However, the rapid development of the domestic box office market in the past ten years seems to have ended in 1997, and when the time came to 1998, the domestic film market suddenly fell off a big cliff! According to the annual box office forecast made by professionals based on the data of the summer file, this year's domestic box office market is estimated to be only about 6.8 billion yuan in total -- even worse than in 1996!

Of course, there are very complex reasons for this, such as the economic situation or something, it is definitely not just the film industry's own business, the entire economic situation is the cornerstone of this market, but in any case, the total market has plummeted and the box office is sluggish, which is obviously what no filmmaker wants to see.

In particular, "The Love of Green Onions" has completed the first cut, and the next thing is to start the soundtrack while refining, and at the same time, the film has to start thinking about the release.

Yu Bojun obviously has more headaches!

So, as he spoke, Cao Zhan comforted him earnestly, "You have to think so, you don't have any money to earn anyway, that is, you pay more and pay less, you have been busy with this film for so long, and you have lost a few girls, right? How much did you save on the breakup fee, house, car? abacus, maybe you will still make money!"

Yu Bojun pointed at Cao Zhan in amazement, and said to Li Qian and Zhao Daodao: "Have you ever seen such an enlightening person?" Li Qian and they all laughed.

Cao Zhan was really serious, and said with a serious face: "Don't laugh, what I said is true! Next, Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Vancouver, and the film festivals that can be reported are all reported.

At this moment, even Yu Bojun couldn't help laughing.

That's what my buddies can say!

While everyone was talking and laughing, Li Qian's mobile phone rang, he took it out and took a look, and found that it was Qi Jie, so he connected it, and he was still smiling, and Qi Jie on the other end of the phone said: "Hurry up and turn on the TV, Shuntian Satellite TV two sets of programs, quick!"

"Uh......" Li Qian was stunned for a moment, and said, "I don't have a TV here, so I'm drinking! What's wrong?"

Hearing Li Qian's words, the three people in the box all turned their heads to look over.

On the phone, Qi Jie said: "Flying Band, Geng Le, you know?"

Li Qian nodded, "You know, bass player!

Qi Jie said: "This is being said on TV, Geng Le was interviewed, and said that the four beauty bands don't know what rock and roll is!"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his brows furrowed.

After a pause, he nodded, and said calmly, "I know." With that, he hung up the phone.

The three of them looked at him, and Cao Zhan also asked, "What's wrong with Lao Geng?"

Li Qian shook his mobile phone, and was about to speak, when Cao Zhan's mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.

Li Qian smiled, put down his phone, and said, "Take it, I guess it's the same thing!"

Cao Zhan picked up the phone and answered it.

Half a minute later, he said the same thing, "I see." Then he hung up.

The two looked at each other, and they were faintly angry. (To be continued.) )
