In late September 1993, the route headed south.

Secretary Zheng cut off the past, recuperated, and came to the deep city of the Special Administrative Region neatly - to start a new life.

He threw his duffel bag behind him, walked out of the airport, looked up at the southern sky, closed his eyes, and whispered to himself: "Special Zone, I'm here." ”

How about it, this scene is a bit of a wave of the times, a sense of turbulent prologue, right?

Then, the next day, he inexplicably began a college military training, and most likely to train to be a pacesetter.

Life is full of surprises.

In fact, Jiang Che is really not the kind of person who evades military training, and this incident did not happen simply to trap Lao Zheng, he has something to do and wants to make a movie.

This does not mean that Jiang Che wants to be a director, he has no ambition or ability. An outsider, reborn, has seen a few classics, but he can't be a director.

In his previous life, he had only watched and supervised a few commercials on the spot, and his self-awareness was not so inflated.

The director of this film is Er Dongsheng.

Er Dongsheng's current situation, "New Love" has been filmed and edited, but it is still waiting for the release. This means that he doesn't know now that he will make a lot of money for Jiang Che and the Zhong family sisters......

Therefore, he accepted this low-cost literary film with gratitude. At the beginning, the only two bosses who were willing to invest in "New Love" wanted to play a ticket, so he came to return the favor and get closer to the owner by the way.

Jiang Che made this film for two purposes:

First, with this low-cost film, let the brilliant entertainment culture practice again, a film from preparation to shooting, to editing, and most importantly, publicity, and the process of striving for theatrical release and film scheduling.

By the way, there are also procedures and operating methods for submitting to domestic and foreign film festivals.

If you don't really touch these things, it is impossible to really understand them just by imagining and inquiring, in that case, those blockbusters in the future memories will be ruined even if they are barely filmed.

That's all money......

Second, so that the Zhong sisters can make a more compelled debut, called tins, which is higher than tins.

How do you understand this?

In Andy Lau's later words: No one of them is willing to ask me to make a literary film, so I will pay for the director myself, and then act in their movies.

Don't think that literary films and awards are meaningless, for example, Tony Leung's status and image are inseparable from the care of the king of sunglasses, and Zhou Xun's recognition of acting skills is also closely related to the literary films she has made that are not blockbusters or even cannot be released.

The group of tins in the previous life, even if they were the most beautiful and the most profitable, they couldn't get good movie resources, and most of them appeared in-pee-fart movies.

It doesn't have much to do with, pee, and fart when you establish an image first, and then become popular, this is the problem of "forced style" in the film industry.

So you can see how many red stars have folded their bodies after they became popular, regardless of image and remuneration, and they want to make one or two niche movies and fight for awards.

That's not love, that's tone.

…………

Guangdong Province, county-level city Shunde, rural area.

Golden autumn, the noon sun, a stretch of rice fields, the rice ears are golden and full, neatly bow their heads slightly in one direction.

The camera is from far and near, and several places of the geometric rice fields have been harvested.

The camera fell on one of them, on the black ridge, sitting two identical little girls, seven or eight years old, exactly the same cheesy floral short-sleeved shirt, black pants, bare feet, holding trouser legs, and mud on their feet.

They carry baskets in their hands, and they have come to gather ears of rice from the rice fields that have been harvested.

"Lu Qiuyan, are you tired, shall we go home?" one of the little girls wiped the sweat from her forehead and pasted her hair on her forehead.

"Call sister, Lu Xuege. The other little girl turned her head and emphasized seriously, while brushing up her sister's messy hair, and the two twisted braids on the back of her head were gently lifted and hit on her shoulders.

"You're only half an hour older than me. Lu Xuege muttered unconvinced: "I don't know if I made a mistake at the beginning." ”

Lu Qiuyan said: "Then I don't care, I'm your sister, come, give me the basket, follow me home." ”

When the sister felt that it was natural to carry two baskets by herself.

The elder sister brought her sister's basket, her hand sank, and she panicked and said, "Why did you pick up so much...... Lu Xuege, have you broken other people's ears of rice?"

"No...... No one saw it. Lu Xuege shook his head, then grabbed a handful of slightly damp soil from the ground, bared his teeth and smiled at his sister, while his hand was in the basket, on the golden and shiny ears of rice, gently wiping and wiping.

Lu Qiuyan looked around in a panic, looking at the adults and children who were harvesting not far away, his eyes were full of horror......

Then, he took his sister's hand and began to run in the rice field.

The camera turned to the back, falling on Sa Huan's feet, and then on the four twisted pigtails that jumped.

"Okay, click. ”

Er Dongsheng felt that this could be passed, this pair of little actors, twin little sisters, was found for 30 yuan a day in the countryside of Shunde, and it was the first time to film, and such a performance was enough to surprise people.

And as far as he is concerned, he can't actually be regarded as a literary film director, he should be an existence in between, his works are more restrained than pure commercial films, but they are softer than art films.

"Director, do you think it would be more reasonable to add a shot of ears of rice coming out of the basket here, if so, who will pick up the sisters?"

Jiang Che walked up from the side and asked in a suggestive tone.

Generally speaking, directors who have their own pursuits are often the most annoyed by the financiers going to the filming site to point fingers and shoehorn the actors, but Jiang Che himself has another identity, and this film, Er Dongsheng was originally filmed as a ticket game for their rich people, so he said:

"This Boss Jiang, you have the final say, you are a screenwriter. ”

This is very helpless, Jiang Che thought for a while, and said: "Then let's go first, I think about it in the evening, if I need to make up for it, anyway, the two little girls will have a few scenes tomorrow." ”

Jiang Che is the screenwriter of this film, it's true.

He thought about moving a literary film from his memory, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have a suitable one, because this film, first of all, must be tailor-made for the twins Zhong Zhen and Zhong Yin.

In this way, the range of options has become much narrower, Jiang Che has thought of a barely suitable one, called "Suzhou River", where Zhou Xun plays two roles and plays two girls, these two roles are assigned to Zhong Zhen and Zhong Yin, just right.

But the problem is that it is a film with a strong taste and atmosphere in the mainland, and the one that Brilliant Entertainment wants to shoot is aimed at the film circle in Hong Kong City.

In desperation, Jiang Che tossed a script by himself.

Anyway, literary films, logically speaking, the biggest principle of literary films is to "exaggerate a logic to death".

For example, the logic of love is shared by the general public, but the logic of love in literary films is stronger than life, death and time. Ordinary people break up and separate, crying and crying gradually fade away, and return to life, but according to the logic of literary films, this person has been trapped in this matter for the rest of his life.

She recalled, he searched, and he or she burst into tears and muttered to himself at every turn...... That's it.

So Jiang Che tossed a logic about the emotional sustenance, personality confusion, and exaggerated logic between the twin sisters.

"There will be a play between the two of you tomorrow afternoon, in other words, can you two perform the feeling of being fourteen or fifteen years old now?" Changing venues and walking on the road, Jiang Che said to Zhong Zhen and Zhong Yin who were following him: "If it doesn't work, let's find another pair of twins, and you two will start acting directly from your own age." ”

The Zhong sisters are nineteen years old.

"In this way, the change in appearance will be difficult to connect, fourteen or fifteen years old and nineteen years old, too close. Er Dongsheng said on the side.

The Zhong sisters looked at each other, "Let's try first." ”
