The communication with Lou Ye can only be point-to-point, every creator doesn't like others to interfere, so Zhou Bai can only suggest that he pay attention to the scale of the lens and reduce the nudity within the scope that can be controlled, as for whether to do it or not, how to do it is Lou Ye's own decision after weighing, and Zhou Bai has no way to interfere.

Zhou Bai likes "Suzhou Creek" very much, because Lou Ye's technique in this movie is very clever, inheriting his style all along, a large number of shaking shots, the picture even has a rough feeling, and the most important thing is that his expression is both restrained and arrogant, and he is more like a calm bystander, blending the two styles together, there is a charming charm.

Zhou Bai has seen the story of "Summer Palace" many times, not so much that Lou Ye is filming this girl named Yu Hong, but rather that he is filming the growth he has experienced, he just puts Yu Hong, a girl, into the story, and expresses a big era background through superficial lust, which is very obscure and desperate.

So if the two are compared, Zhou Bai prefers the gentleness and restraint of "Suzhou Creek", and more importantly, although "Suzhou Creek" is a banned film, there are not too many taboo things, but the things involved in "Summer Palace" are different, and any one of them can be banned.

It doesn't even matter if Zhou Bai can't ban the film, it doesn't matter if the movie doesn't make money, he doesn't miss this money, what he cares about is the punishment that Lou Ye suffered because of this and the heavy price paid by Ji Lei.

What was Lou Ye's final choice, Zhou Bai only knew when the movie came out, this kind of knowing that the result was not good, and he couldn't persuade him, so he could only watch him step on thunder and feel uncomfortable.

"You seem to be in a bad mood today, what's wrong?" When he got home, Yuan Yu noticed Zhou Bai's abnormality and asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, the result of communicating with Lou Ye is not very good, I don't think he has the intention of changing his mind, once he makes up his mind, it is difficult to change. Zhou Bai rubbed his brow and said.

"If you can't persuade it, forget it, that's the only thing you can do, you can't make an awkward relationship between the two because of this movie. Yuan Yan pressed Zhou Bai's shoulder behind his back and said.

"Yes, it's not easy to do it when you have a relationship, there is definitely no way to interfere with creative things, and the way of tapping from the side is not suitable, I hope he knows what the consequences are. Zhou Bai closed his eyes and sighed.

"This is his choice, they all say that they want to be benevolent, Lou Ye's mind is so sharp, how can he not know what the consequences will be, I think no matter what the result is, he himself will be mentally prepared. Yuan Yang said calmly, she saw more openly.

If you want to talk about the time you have known each other, it has been four or five years, and the relationship between Zhou Bai and Lao Jia and Lou Ye has long been more than just the relationship between investors and directors, it is precisely because they are friends with each other that Zhou Bai is unwilling to watch Lou Ye be banned because of this, and it ends in being banned.

"Well, anyway, I'll prepare the funds for him to shoot, he can shoot how he likes, this is his obsession, and he will never be willing to shoot it. Zhou Bai nodded, anyway, everything that should be said was said, and there was no need for him to care about what to do.

"That's the best, you've been at home for a month, isn't it time to prepare for the next movie?" Yuan said.

"This is not in a hurry, I'm not good at home, I can accompany you every day, the post-production work of "Painless Love" has been arranged to be in the capital, and the special effects are stared at by the director, I just need to wait for the dubbing time to get busy. Zhou Bai held Yuan Yan's hand and raised his head and said.

"Then if you want to start the machine in August and September, it's time to prepare, Sister Fang has complained to me, saying that you have a long rest, and if you continue like this, the studio will be no different from the furnishings. Yuan Yu said to Zhou Bai with disgust.

"I think she can't be idle, she is busy in the later stage of "Painless Love", so the related distribution work also has to be done, and the studio is not without time, she is dissatisfied with me and said that she will stop, so I have to talk to you. Zhou Bai said with a grin.

"It takes half a year to six or seven months for a film to be prepared and produced, although the cost is not high, if you start filming in August, you always have to start looking for actors, arrange the schedules of other staff, and find locations. Yuan Yang patted Zhou Bai angrily, a little dissatisfied with his grinning attitude.

""Hero" is expected to be released in December, at that time I must have followed the crew around to promote, "Painless Lovelorn" is now in the post-production, it can be released in China from October to November, and it can also be in time to sign up for the film festival, as for the film to be filmed in August, it should be able to be filmed in two months, which is not very complicated. Zhou Bai snapped his fingers and counted for Yuan Yu.

"That means I'm basically busy in the second half of the year, and you don't want to act, and I also have a headache, it's not easy to see you, or you should be a producer. Zhou Bai rolled his eyes and said with a flattering smile on his face.

"I've never been a producer, I don't know how to do it, there must be someone watching from here in the studio, right?" Yuan Yu was a little moved, but he still didn't let go.

"No, I plan to shoot "My Sassy Girlfriend" in Beijing, it's not difficult to find a location, and it should be found in the surrounding cities, this is my first time as a director, so you can come and help me. Zhou Bai pulled Yuan Yang into his arms and said softly.

"Do you really plan to be a director yourself? Have you thought about the hero and heroine?" Yuan Yu was not very surprised, it was not the first time she knew that Zhou Bai wanted to be a director.

"Yes, there is no particularly good book now, a movie like "My Sassy Girlfriend" is not suitable for me to act, anyway, this is a small-budget movie, so it should be practiced. ”

"I have a preliminary selection of actors and actresses now, but I don't know what the final result will be, and I want to find other actors through auditions. Zhou Bai said his plan.

"Who? Who are you going to find for the role of Morning Glory?" asked Yuan Yu curiously, slapping Zhou Bai's hand away by the way.

"Now there are two candidates, Huang Bo, you remember, if he comes to play Morning Glory, it should be suitable, and the other is Deng Chao, now he can be regarded as having exercised his acting skills, and there is no problem in supporting this role. Zhou Bai said proudly.

"Huang Bo? Isn't he in film school? Are you sure he can be the leading actor, although the image is okay, after all, Morning Glory doesn't need to be very handsome, but his acting skills are okay?" Yuan Yu said, her impression of Huang Bo's acting skills basically stayed in "Blue Love" and "Get in the Car, Let's Go", and later Huang Bo went to film school and got together with Zhou Bai a few times, and his impression was not bad, but there was nothing about acting at all.

In the past two years, Huang Bo has basically been mixed on the set of TV dramas, all of them are small roles, and it is no wonder that Yuan Yang is worried about this.

"It should be no problem, he has been in film school for two years, although he is not an acting major, but he has taught himself a lot, try it first. I originally wanted to find Deng Chao, but now that he is famous, I am afraid that the schedule will not be available. ”
