Chapter 639: This City Is So Empty, This Story Is So Painful!

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!

Jiufen, a small town that is not well-known today. Jiufen, which belongs to Taipei County, is not far from Taipei City.

The unique architectural ensemble contributes to its nostalgic atmosphere, and the overall pace is relaxed and slow.

Since that day, Wanwan Film has not become the leader of Chinese films, if it weren't for Li Hanxiang and a group of other people who broke through the water, I am afraid that the film industry here may not have made much progress. But in this place, it seems that there will always be a few familiar place names left because of the movie, which makes people haunt their hearts.

If it is like the historical Hengchun Ancient Town, Peeling Liao Old Street, Yuanshan Hotel, Guling Street, etc., Jiufen, a small historical city, is destined to be revitalized because of a movie.

I don't know if it's because there was rain in Jiufen in November, or because this originally sunny town was dyed with sadness because of a movie.

In Jiufen in November, it was rainy and rainy, the bluestone street board reflected a moist and oily luster, the ridge of the house hung intermittently with raindrops, and the child holding the black porcelain bowl grinned and smiled, chasing the car along the eaves.

Grandma with blue cloth on a bamboo bench is at ease, painters, potters, and sculpture enthusiasts walking the streets with sketchpads on their backs, and the combination of Japanese and Chinese architecture attracts some tourists.

Holding mille-feuille shoes, linen trousers, and a big black umbrella on his head, he stopped from time to time and gently drew a few strokes on the drawing board in his hand.

"There were a lot of buildings here during the Japanese occupation, and there were many gold diggers here during the gold rush. It also brings together the flavors of the north and the south, but after the prosperity, the rest is indeed tranquil.

Walking up this road is Keesan Street...... Turn left on this street and you will find the earliest cinema in Quanwanwan, Shengping Cinema. It was also the largest theater in the Japanese occupation period......"

Next to him, the narrator with a yellow complexion, half-length hair, wearing a pair of black-framed myopia glasses, jeans and a plaid shirt, and holding an umbrella is Yang Dechan.

The man in front of him is full of taste, and the man in the sackcloth shirt is naturally Wu Xiaozu.

In addition to participating in the Golden Horse Awards, Wu Xiaozu simply left the crew and asked Yang Dezhuan and his wife to visit the class together.

The financier behind this drama is his boss Wu!

"Recently, Lao Hou has been 'listening' here and not moving, that is, he is not winning. I'm anxious about him!"

Yang Dezhuan laughed and teased, moved the umbrella to Wu Xiaozu's side a little, half of his body was slightly wet, but he didn't care, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the tea house, "This tea room has been open for a long time, when Lao Hou and I came here, I liked to order a pot of tea, and at that time, a pot of tea could be drunk for an afternoon......

Didn't the boss kill you?

Wu Xiaozu glanced at the old-style teahouse, and had a good impression of this kind of place where humanities and history are combined, and there was no shouting, so that people could calm down and enjoy the original beauty.

He loved the old street.

"It's amazing, you look at these old buildings, imagine maybe a dozen years, twenty years or more, and there is a person standing here saying this. As we walk down this street today, there is always a wonder of history intersecting at this moment. ”

"Every time I see the Kowloon Walled City, I have the heart to photograph the story of Hong Kong Island in the fifties and sixties. Some eyes have seen it, some have passed it on by word of mouth.

"What you said touched me a lot, and I've always wanted to make a story about teenagers...... Have you ever heard of Mao Wu?"

Yang Dechan paused after speaking, and said with a smile, "Blame me, you are from Hong Kong Island, you shouldn't know about this matter." However, this incident was really uproarious when we were children, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the focus of the whole society is not exaggerated.

At the beginning, this Mao Wu killed a 14 or 5-year-old girl because of emotional problems~ He was only 16 years old at the beginning. Both of them were minors, and this incident had a huge impact at the time, and I was about my age at the time, and at that time, the school and the military management all strengthened education to prevent the occurrence of super-friendship......"

"I know this Mao Wu, it's not good to be released from prison a few years ago, it's not good to make a storm in the city~" Cai Qin, who was plump and wrapped in a shawl, answered next to her, and then glanced at Wu Xiaozu and Yang Dezhuan, who were holding an umbrella together......

The story?

"This kind of thing is really very touching...... Wu Xiaozu said half-truthfully, "Then why not put such a story on the movie screen? I think this will be a very good subject." Especially when you look back at this and look at it calmly......"

"I did have the heart to transcribe this story into a script, but unfortunately it was quite a big year. I've been trying to create the atmosphere of the '60s. Yang Dechant smiled faintly.

The proposal of "Guling Street Juvenile Homicide" actually talked to the actor Hou Xiaoyuan when he was filming "Childhood Sweetheart". This time with Wu Xiaozu is also a cliché, of course......

The main thing is that Director Wu is rich!

"It's a different kind of subject matter than you've always focused on Taipei's urban life and culture, but I'm very interested in it. If you really want to shoot, in terms of investment, I can do a little bit. Wu Xiaozu smiled enthusiastically.

Anyway, it's just to pull the investment! It's not him who pays for it!

Wu Xiaozu can't let go of such a classic work, right? The most important thing is that this drama actually didn't lose money. even became the best box office movie of Yang Dechan.

At the same time, it is also Wu Xiaozu's favorite work.

Even compared to "Yiyi", he prefers this "Guling Street", which is full of juvenile hormones and rough temperament.

The most coincidental thing is that the English name of this play borrows a lyric from Elvis Presley's classic song "Are You Lonesome Tonight", the name is "Sunny Summer", which is not much different from the name of a certain big and rough movie, and it is even more coincidental that the play also tells the story of young people, and both plays are also the most classic youth memory movies on both sides of the strait.

"When you say this, I feel much more comfortable, and I will definitely not be polite to you. I'm really afraid that when I talk to you about money, your face will change~" Yang Dezhuan laughed at himself, and then patted Wu Xiaozu's shoulder heavily, quite pleased.

After the previous "Terrorist", Yang Dezhan also fell into the dilemma of fundraising, especially after the announcement of the "Wanwan Film Declaration" at No. 69 Jinan Road, District 2, Taipei, which had a greater impact.

He also has the heart to put aside the support of the film fund and produce independently. In fact, his artistic style is very similar to Wu Xiaozu, both of which combine Western film theory with traditional Chinese film aesthetics.

It's just that Wu Xiaozu's films have their own independent style, with fatalism, black humor, and violent aesthetics all filled with a variety of styles, while he pays more attention to the rational analysis of human nature, and the theme focuses on the description of interpersonal relationships and social and family life.

In his previous life, he finally took this step with Cai Qin's financial support, and before, he also raised funds from many parties, but unfortunately there were many difficulties.

Wanwan's movie gangster monopoly is even more serious!

What's more, these filmmakers are even more serious in their "admiration for Hong Kong and flattery of foreigners", and they are very resistant to local art films.

As a result, most of them have to count on support funds for filming, and if they really get rid of support, it will be difficult to raise funds.

"I would like to open my own film studio, but the plan won't go too well......" Yang Dezhuan babbled on and on about some things with Wu Xiaozu, and Director Wu didn't listen carefully.

In short, investing in each other is not a bad thing!

stopped and stopped, and finally came to the crew of "City of Sadness".

"Wu Dao, Brother Chang~Tsai ......"

Hou Xiaoyuan had been prepared for a long time, knowing that they were coming to visit the class, and as soon as he entered, he took the initiative to greet him.

The original ass face became black and thin, and he had a bit of a posterity posture, looking like an old peasant.

Everyone exchanged a few words, and Wu Xiaozu looked directly at the figure not far away.

Luo Dong was wearing a white shirt, smiling at himself quietly, opening his mouth, but not making a sound, his eyes were a little melancholy like Liang Chaowei~

Convex (艹)!

Director Wu was taken aback!
