Chapter 74: Clapper

Lou Ye is very familiar with Ney An, and his film funds are basically brought in by Ne Ann.

Ne An is a capable woman, she started acting in 90, opened a company called Dream Work Art Company in 91, and collaborated with Lou Ye for the first time in 95 in the movie "Weekend Lover", Ne Ann is the independent producer of this movie.

From then on, Lou Ye's filmmakers are all Nai'an, Lou Ye trusts Nai'an, Naian appreciates Lou Ye, they are not only collaborators, but also a pair of confidants.

When Lou Ye took out the movie script, Zhou Bai saw that the title of the movie "Suzhou River" was written on the title page of the book, and his heart was really right, it was the Bible of this literary and artistic youth.

Lou Ye became famous earlier than Lao Jia, he has a very good relationship with Wang Xiaoshuai, and starred in Wang Xiaoshuai's independent production, screenwriting and directorial debut film "Winter and Spring Days" in 1993, and made his debut film in 94.

When Lao Jia made his debut, Lou Ye had already made two serious movies, won foreign awards, and was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award.

If you talk about literary and artistic diseases alone, Lou Ye is much more serious than Lao Jia, just look at his movie style.

"Girl in Danger" can be called a literary and avant-garde domestic horror film, full of the style of European-style literary horror films, and a lot of shaky photography techniques.

"Weekend Lover" is definitely a model of literary film with a real-life theme, made alive and made of confrontation with traditional film aesthetics and mental tension, and of course, the most characteristic shaking cinematography.

So much so that later, this product was simply a model of literary youth, and it became a person who would die if he didn't write and art, and his painting style was so cool that it was magical.

He dares to shoot large-scale male love, such as "The Night of the Spring Breeze".

He also dares to shoot large-scale love between men and women, such as "Flowers".

His movie characters even self-harm at the slightest disagreement, such as "Tuina".

Every movie of Ya has to die such a person, just like "The Mystery of the Floating City".

If you watch his movies, if you don't get dizzy and confused, even if you are not confused by his movie narrative, at least you will be dizzy by his shaky camera language.

Anyway, when you watch his movies, you think that this director should be a poor man, he can't afford to use the track, he has always used his hand, and he won't be finished if he doesn't stun you, so some people joke that if he and Li Yu want to get married, the baby born must be born to shake his head.

"Suzhou River" is about a film in the mature period after Lou Ye's fixed style, Zhou Bai knows the weight of this film, and Lou Ye used this film to establish his position as a leader among the sixth generation of directors.

Lou Ye, who does not have "Suzhou River", is probably just a pioneer director, and even his fans may be more than half.

Is "Suzhou Creek" worth the investment? There is no need to ask this question at all, if you can win the award, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell, and although Lou Ye's movies have a strong personal style, they are still extremely popular in the Western market, and among the sixth generation of film directors, it can be said that they are second only to Lao Jia.

This is related to the filming technique of the movie, Lao Jia likes to use long mirrors and empty mirrors, which scratches the sensitive point in the hearts of Western audiences, and Lou Ye's style can also attract a group of audiences.

"When is this film going to start?" After turning over the script and muttering for a while, Zhou Bai asked.

Lao Jia glanced at Zhou Bai and knew that there was a drama in this matter, it seemed that Zhou Bai was also optimistic about this film, but it involved money, so he couldn't intervene, so he simply kept silent.

"It was started up around April. Lou Ye said that the time in April is just right, the season and climate are just right for his script, no special treatment is needed, and it is easier for the actors.

"Have you chosen the actors?" Zhou Bai asked, making Nai An and Lou Ye look at each other, and Lao Jia didn't blink his eyes, sitting firmly in the city tower to watch the play.

"I've already made an appointment with the heroine, Rongxinda's weekly news, the male protagonist hasn't been decided yet, but I want to find Jia Hongsheng, it shouldn't be a big problem. It was Lou Ye who spoke, he was very calm, anyway, the situation he faced was much better than Lao Jia's in terms of investment pressure, and now he didn't have no other choice.

"Zhou Gongzi is very good, he is indeed a good candidate, how is Senior Brother Jia's current state?" Zhou Bai asked, he knew that the heroes and heroines of "Suzhou River" were Zhou Gongzi and Jia Hongsheng, but he actually had some doubts about Jia Hongsheng, mainly because there had been an accident a few years ago, and Zhou Bai was more worried about Jia Hongsheng's state.

Jia Hongsheng is actually very handsome, has a unique temperament, has an extremely deep acting talent, can control a variety of roles, he is a relatively pure person, he is pure for art, but this purity will become confused and overwhelmed when he encounters the world, and eventually let him fall.

During the filming of the movie "Eclipse" in 1995, he was sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment because of drug overdose, and in October 1994, his wife divorced him because of his drug abuse.

"It's been a bit of a recovery over the years. Lou Ye has no temper when he mentions Jia Hongsheng, as a director, he loves Jia Hongsheng who shines in the performance too much, but when he returns to life, Jia Hongsheng can't help but sigh and regret, Lou Ye also feels heartache for him.

Lou Ye and Jia Hongsheng have been friends for almost ten years, Jia Hongsheng is indeed the most special one for him, that man's stubbornness, stubbornness, and attitude towards art make him appreciate it very much, if he can, Lou Ye is willing to shoot him alone.

"Okay, this book is very good, I also have confidence in you, and I will make up for the part of the funds you lack. Zhou Bai closed the script and said, and the matter was settled.

"Senior brother, you don't have any ideas about acting?It's already the second semester of your sophomore year, and it's not a big problem for your teacher to go to the film two months early, right?" Ney Ann couldn't help but ask curiously, as an actor, she knew too well the impulse of an actor when he encountered his favorite script.

"To be honest, I like this script very much, and I also have a desire to perform, but since Director Lou already has a favorite actor, forget it, and with our Chang mother's temper, it will be difficult to release people in two months, and I don't need to bother with that, the most important thing is that the movie comes out. Zhou Bai took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Zhou Bai's words impressed Nai An, and Lou Ye couldn't help but feel good.

"Suzhou River" is undoubtedly a very good movie, and there is room to play, Lou Ye is a good director, if he can star in his movie Zhou Bai certainly feels that it is an honor, but since people have a favorite actor, he will go sideways, it is not a thing.

"The investment matter is so decided, I will ask my uncle to communicate with you when the time comes, I have written down your contact information, and I will talk to him in the evening." ”

"I've been rehearsing a big play recently, so I have to rush back to rehearse, senior sister, Lou Dao, Lao Jia, I'll leave first. By the way, Lao Jia, don't forget to come to the play when the time comes. Zhou Bai stood up and looked at the sky, he really couldn't leave, as one of the protagonists of "Soul Refusal to Burial", he couldn't be absent from the rehearsal.

Clinked a glass with Lao Jia, meaning, Zhou Bai took a sip of tea and left, looking at Zhou Bai who left in a hurry, Lou Ye and Nai'an's expressions were a little uncertain, and there was deep curiosity in their eyes.

"That's it?" Ney An still couldn't believe it, it didn't take long from Zhou Bai coming in to leaving.

That's why I became friends with him. Lao Jia said and smiled happily.
