Chapter 18: A Turning Point

18. Things turn around

August 31.

Coming out of the Great Yamen, walking towards the Fuxing Gate, and then passing through the streets and alleys, turning around and turning around, the skyline of the buildings instantly became shorter, and this area is a few alleys of some years.

Walking along the entrance of the alley, this piece seems to be an ordinary courtyard house from the outside, except for the high land price, there seems to be no other outstanding features.

Looking for a place to park the car, Luo Hao led Han Fei to walk into the alley, about ten minutes, the two stopped outside the door of a courtyard, the vermilion courtyard gate, the brass door knocker, there was no signboard or no banner on the door face, there were two small stone lions at the door, there was a device that looked like a stone drum standing next to the lion, and a few low pillars were erected under the courtyard wall on the right, Han Fei looked at it, this thing should be the legendary tethered horse pile, Niang Xipi, is this still the mansion of a certain official or prince of the previous dynasty?

Or the bigwigs in the imperial capital will play, and if they come out for a cup of tea, they have to pick a hidden territory that is not open to the public, Han Fei complained in his heart, these "eight regulations", "two studies and one doing", "looking back", "accountability system" or something were quickly introduced, and the life of this group of old men was inevitably too chic.

Luo Hao made a phone call, and then the courtyard door slowly opened, and an old man of fifty or sixty years old came out to greet the guests, in good spirits, with a vigorous body, wearing cardigan and old cloth shoes, and the material looked much stronger than the full set of practice clothes worn by the old man who practiced swords in the park in the morning.

I don't know what kind of things are carved on the wall, it is beautiful, Han Fei took a cursory look, and only recognized the dragon, and the other lines are probably the sons of the dragon.

Walking along the verandah, the design here is very elegant, although it is a hot summer day, there is still a cool breeze through the hall, making people feel more comfortable, the designer of the house was definitely the best in the industry. Behind the wall is a huge pool of clear water, sparkling with sunlight, and a few koi fish flicking their fins in the shade. There is a rockery in the pool, the strange rocks are craggy, scattered, there is a strange beauty of piling up, this pool is different from the kind of dead water pool in the park, the two ends are connected with a winding canal, while leading the living water to wash, while leaving with the discharge water, so that the pool water is as clear as a mirror, worthy of the old Zhu said, "ask the canal that is as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water".

Following the footsteps of the old gentleman and Luo Hao to go deeper, the more Han Fei looked, the more he felt that there was a hole here, he was a hillbilly who entered the city, and everywhere he looked was splendid, he couldn't help but be amazed, what kind of luxury villas outside were far worse than here, and sure enough, the most bullish house was still this kind of courtyard.

The old gentleman led the two into a room, where the layout is exquisite, the furnishings are elegant, the objects in the house look like antique cultural relics, the old gentleman pours tea and water, skillful, and then bows and withdraws, this etiquette, like the Qing Dynasty housekeeper in the special TV series, is in the 21st century, and there are still people who are good at this.

After entering the room, Han Fei found a chair and sat down, he didn't know anything about these devices, but looking at the material, it was estimated that it was quite expensive.

"Uncle Luo, what kind of place is this, how do I feel like a museum, a little too low-key and luxurious. ”

Luo Hao picked up the teacup, scraped the foam in the hanging cup with the lid of the cup, took a sip comfortably, and said: "This is a teahouse, I don't know who the boss is, but you should be able to understand that this place is not something that ordinary people can take." ”

Nonsense, the second ring, the courtyard, plus these walls, stone carvings, rockeries or something, can this be won by ordinary people? This can't be the industry of the descendants of a certain big man's family.

"This place is not open to the public, so what kind of profit does it depend on?" In fact, as soon as he said this, Han Fei knew that he was a chicken, how could he have such a large luxury courtyard house care about this tea money?

"Connections, regardless of the size, there will always be a time when it can be useful, of course, at our level, it is a shrimp. Luo Hao said thoughtfully.

As the old saying goes, all roads lead to Rome, but some people were born in Rome, and people were not only born in Rome, but also born in the Roman Senate.

Everyone hates related households, and everyone wants to be related households, which is both embarrassing and funny.

After a while, Luo Hao answered the phone, hung up in a few words, and then stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to greet people." ”

"Eh, it's all up to you. "Han Fei has a strategy today, pretending to be a grandson, and Luo Hao will let him do whatever he wants.

The people who came were all wearing shirts and trousers, and they all exuded the temperament of a high-ranking official, one with a split head and the other with a flat head, and their figures were not tall.

One is the head of the Propaganda and Propaganda Cultural System Reform Department, and the other is the head of the Dayamen Film Project Review Office, all of whom are cadres at the level of the department, Han Fei in front has no impression, and Han Fei in the back has a look at the bulletin board when he went to the Dayamen before, not only the current manager, but also the director of Zhengyin. In terms of level, it is not too good in the imperial capital, but in the whole country, this position can be coaxing, in "In the Name of the People", a director can let high-ranking officials wait outside the office, the energy of these two is not bad, there is no acquaintance to recommend, and idlers can't figure out which way to put the threshold of others.

The three bigwigs didn't talk about the topic, and talked about some interesting things that had happened recently, Han Fei silently pretended to be a little girl, served tea and poured water, quiet as a chicken.

"Director Wang, Lao Luo invited me to accompany me today, also out of concern for the career development of his children and nephews. ”

"Zhao Si, in fact, there is no need to save for this game today, you can just give me a call. ”

"No, no, no, you two, we should ask for guidance in this game today, but we can't put a posture of respecting the teacher enough. ”

The three of them spoke sharply, Han Fei sat upright, he is now a flat-headed commoner, and those who have entered the system understand that the official level crushes people to death, and usually a section chief can arrange him clearly, let alone a big man of this level.

"Xiao Han, right? Director Wang glanced at Han Fei and said with a smile: "I was also present at the Huabiao Awards two days ago, yes, young and promising, and I also won a trophy." ”

"You won the award, it was the organizing committee that raised your love. Han Fei replied respectfully.

"Since young people have chosen this profession, they should love this profession, work hard, and create more and better works. ”

"Well, thank you for your advice. ”

Director Wang took a sip of tea and asked, "Come, let's talk about it, why do you want to make such a movie, I read the review opinions of the office before they came, and there is nothing wrong with the resolution." ”

Han Fei Zhengse said: "I didn't think about it so much at first, I just felt that some people had cheated more or less when they were students, and then I wanted to move this phenomenon to the big screen." ”

Director Wang's eyes were like torches, and he asked: "It's one thing for young people to have ideas, but it's another thing to do them, don't you have consciousness when this year is?"

Han Fei was a little flustered by him, and almost strangled the idea of making a movie to death in his heart, at this time, Director Zhao patted Han Fei on the shoulder and said: "Young people will inevitably take care of the front and the back when they do things, Director Wang, you have to give young people some opportunities." ”

Director Wang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I didn't mean to scare you, but this has been the case in the past few years." ”

Han Fei took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to ask: "Director Wang, I implore you for some advice, as far as this movie is concerned, what are the things that are not up to the mark, the opinions on the deliberation decision are a bit general, forgive me for being a little stupid, I haven't fully figured it out after thinking about it for a long time, whether the subject of cheating can't pass the review at all, or whether the issue of school choice fees in the first unit is too sensitive." ”

"Hehe, young people are quite modest, in fact, if you can review these two points yourself, it means that you have some understanding of the situation. ”

Luo Hao and Zhao Si drank tea, quietly listened to Director Wang's words, and said: "The whole subject is not suitable for the public opinion of my country's cultural industry. ”

As soon as these words came out, a stone in Han Fei's heart finally landed, this time he really died, and he didn't need to change the script, there was no hope of passing the trial at all, so why bother.

He pondered his words for a while, and said carefully: "I understand, no matter what, thank you for your guidance, I will prepare works on other themes after I go back, and strive to pass the test in one fell swoop when I get it in front of you next time." ”

Director Wang glanced at Han Fei and said with relief: "Young people don't have to be discouraged, there are many unsatisfactory things in the world, not to mention you, it is not easy for a big director like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige to pass the trial smoothly." ”

"Drink tea and drink tea, there is still a big forest waiting for you in the future, you don't have to hang yourself from a tree. Luo Hao also came out of the round, and comforted Han Fei by the way.

Han Fei nodded, in fact, he didn't have any disappointment, more of a feeling of relief, or not, after all, he had nothing to do with this movie.

Director Wang seemed to have a good impression of Han Fei, and continued to point out a few words: "If it is placed overseas, it is understandable to introduce movies with this theme, but in China, this theme has completely touched the high-voltage line, and you must pay attention when choosing works in the future, although the current management scale is not as tight as at the beginning of the century, some things are still untouchable, understand?"

"Understood. ”

Hey, what did he say just now, if it's overseas, overseas?

A year suddenly flashed in Han Fei's mind and asked, "Director Wang, what if the background of this movie is on Hong Kong Island or Macau?"

"Don't think crookedly, those two places are our special administrative regions, if you only show them in those two places, it's okay, but the consequence is in the mainland. Director Wang made a cross gesture when he said the last sentence, Han Fei still didn't understand, he wasn't stupid, Hong Kong Island was only a big place, and Shi Lezhi did it for the sake of losing the vast world in the land of projectiles.

"What if it happens in neighboring countries like Thailand and Vietnam?"

"This is okay, but as an imported film, there are quite a lot of restrictions, from review to release, there are one or two more levels than domestic films. ”

One or two more? That means it's possible, but it takes a little more time to go through the program, right?

Han Fei continued: "What if it's a co-production, the background is set abroad, and the starring role is our own actor, is this okay?"

"This is a way, but it is not easy to film abroad in the past, from language to cultural differences, there are constraints everywhere, are you sure you can make a profitable work?" Director Wang seems to have little trust in Han Fei's ability.

Thinking of hell and heaven, Han Fei's mood was like riding a roller coaster, at this time he finally grabbed a life-saving straw, and immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your advice, I have already figured out how to modify it, and next time I would like to ask you for more guidance, I promise that I will not embarrass you again." ”

At the beginning, he stupidly sinicized all the backgrounds and characters, but he didn't expect the scale to be so tight, and he knew that he could pass the trial with a foreign background, so he didn't have to do so much.

Since this is the case, let's change it, the background is still set in Thailand, compared to Chen Gou's "Chinatown Detective", directly placed in the Chinatown school in Bangkok, the characters, all become Thai Chinese in Chinatown, so that some language barriers can be avoided, but Thai still has to learn a few words, after all, Chinatown is still located in Thailand.

At the end of the tea game, Han Fei felt relaxed, God his old man just loves to toss people, but fortunately, he didn't toss him to death, and finally pointed him to the right path. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
