Chapter 316: Vinegar
Zhang Yimou saw Zhang Chen grinning a little, although he didn't know what was going on, he could also see that there was some vindictiveness between the two young couples. Please search (product # book...... The fastest update
Zhang Yimou looked loyal, but his actual belly was very dark, pretending not to see Zhang Chen's expression, and deliberately asked: "Oh, Hollywood, so powerful, what movie?"
Zhang Chen smiled unnaturally: "Don't listen to her nonsense, it's just a sitcom with a minute or two of footage, and the crew is temporarily short of extras, so I happened to be in a hurry." ”
Tang Miao said sourly: "Playing with Natalie Portman in Friends, is she still an extra? If you take out your usual acting skills, you might be able to win an Emmy." ”
Zhang Chen was a little uncomfortable, there was indeed something wrong with him, but after all, nothing really happened between him and Natalie, and Tang Miaomiao's time to eat this flying vinegar was inevitably too long. It's been a few days, and she still doesn't give up, and now she's playing tricks in front of outsiders, isn't this a joke?
Tang Miaomiao saw Zhang Chen's expression and knew that she was a little out of shape, so she lowered her head and didn't speak.
Zhang Yimou's face is casual, but he feels a little good in his heart, Friends? seems to be very popular in the United States, but Zhang Yimou, as a big name in the film industry, has not paid much attention to the TV circle, so he has not really watched this TV series.
And,It's not the stage where subtitle groups are rampant after two thousand years.,There's no translation.,What do you think of Zhang Yimou, who doesn't understand English?
But Natalie Portman Zhang Yimou knows, although Natalie does not have any actual status in Hollywood now, but the acting skills of this killer who is not too cold are too amazing, and they have left a deep impression in the hearts of many directors, Zhang Yimou watches hundreds of movies every year, and naturally has an impression.
It stands to reason that with Zhang Yimou's current artistic status, if he is placed in Europe or Hollywood, he is not a top director, and he is also hovering in the quasi-first-class range. Natalie Portman, a marginal Hollywood character, can only work with this kind of director by luck.
Zhang Yimou's artistic success, in the current era, it is not an exaggeration to call him the first Chinese film director, even Ang Lee, in the art of art is also a chaser, until two or three years later, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, really surpassed Zhang Yimou in performance and became the undisputed first Chinese director.
However, Zhang Yimou's fame and achievements are different from other overseas directors, and his creation, market, and box office appeal rely more on the mainland. But now the mainland does not have the same prosperous economy as it did more than a decade later, and the entire film industry is in a state of losing money and making money. Therefore, in terms of commercial value, there are not many directors in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Therefore, in the late 80s and early 90s, Zhang Yimou, who had already won awards and won soft hands, saw some unpopular directors in Xiangjiang, and he had to nod his head and be polite, and he would be discriminated against when he went to Xiangjiang to make films.
Why, poor.
In the past, Zhang Yimou was in the system, and he had been getting a dead salary, and the bonuses were very few, although he got the award softly, but he also earned a reputation, otherwise he would not have gone to Xiangjiang to shoot any ancient and modern war Qin warriors.
It was also in the past two years, with the continuous advancement of domestic marketization, Zhang Yimou made some money, and cooperated with others to open a company, and he just had a little more money on hand, but he also had a net worth of millions, and it was not enough to invest in a decent movie.
The fact that art has become completely upside down with overseas fame and income is the current status quo of mainland films. Now Zhang Yimou is paid less than 300,000 yuan for making a movie, and it was not until Party A and Party B more than a year later that Party A and Party B created a box office record of 30 million, and Feng Xiaogang participated in the profit sharing with zero remuneration, and only got a remuneration of more than 1 million.
The great revolutionary mentor taught us that the material foundation determines the layered structure, and when the whole country is not rich, no matter how high you are in the arts, you cannot compare with a third-rate Hollywood director.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe everything in Hollywood as an exaggeration for mainland directors in this era, including Zhang Yimou.
I heard that Zhang Chen actually worked with Natalie Portman, and it seems that he is still very familiar, Zhang Yimou is really good. But just met, the other party didn't seem to want to talk about this topic at all, and Zhang Yimou didn't want to get to the bottom of it.
Zhang Chen took the initiative to change the topic: "Director Zhang, you just said that you will go to the United States to attract investment? What kind of big production do you want to make?"
Zhang Yimou smiled bitterly when he heard this: "There are no big productions, everyone wants to shoot big productions, but now the film industry is sluggish, and no one invests at all." Last year, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television opened up the introduction of foreign blockbusters, and no one watched domestic movies in the cinemas. ”
Zhang Chen smiled: "Marketization, this is inevitable." I think that, at least in business, the spring of Chinese films is coming. ”
Zhang Yimou agrees, with his position in the industry, he has felt the changes in the market early, otherwise he would not have started his own company.
"You're right, now that people have more money in their pockets, they should be tired of watching TV at home for so many years. Now there is a lack of good movies that can let ordinary people enter the cinema, you look at Cheng Long's movie released last year, how hot the box office is, I haven't seen so many people enter the cinema for many years. Zhang Yimou mentioned the movie and talked about sex even more.
Zhang Chen nodded: "New Year's movies, now I want to have fun during the New Year, and there are many people who go to the cinema together with the whole family." I think if anyone in our country makes a New Year's Eve film specifically for the New Year's Day and Spring Festival, as long as it is comedy, lively enough, and has a happy ending, the box office will not be less. After all, our population base is here, one out of a thousand people watches a movie, and the number of moviegoers is one million, and ten yuan a ticket is a box office of 10 million. ”
As soon as Zhang Yimou heard this, he was even more energetic and began to talk endlessly, and he found that although Zhang Chen looked like a teenager, he didn't know much about movies, so he was obviously not a professional. But it's very comfortable to chat with him, and he can often hold up the topic at key points, and he is very in-depth and predictable in many points, and he can't help but talk more and more.
Zhang Yimou's voice became louder and louder, and even the flight attendant came over to remind him to keep his voice quiet and not to disturb other passengers. Zhang Yimou has a very good temper, he didn't play a big name at all, he agreed with a smile and apologized again and again.
Looking at Zhang Chen and Tang Miaomiao again, they were actually already a little tired, Zhang Yimou saw this, he also put the seat flat, asked the stewardess for a blanket, and fell asleep.
After Zhang Chen lay down, he saw Tang Miaomiao lying on his side beside him, looking at him with bright eyes, his eyes were full of grievances, and he couldn't help but feel soft.
Zhang Chen pulled Tang Miaomiao's hand, Tang Miaomiao pursed her mouth and twisted her head to the side.
Zhang Chen got up quietly, stepped over the wide armrest, and lay down on Tang Miaomiao's side. The first-class seats, while wide enough, also squeezed the two together.
Zhang Chen hugged Tang Miaomiao from behind, turned Tang Miaomiao's body over, and gently kissed the girl's lips, Tang Miaomiao's tears fell out.
"Don't ignore me in the future. Tang Miaomiao said in a low voice.
"Good. ”
"Don't you love me anymore?"
"No, I love you. ”
"For a lifetime?"
"For a lifetime. ”
