Zhang Shankun teased easily, but Ma Xu Weibang was a little embarrassed.

Yang Qiu looked at it very interestingly, these two can still sit together and drink tea and chat, and I have to say that the relationship should be very good.

Thinking about the Great Wall "Qionglou Hate" mentioned earlier, if Yang Qiu had such a director who took half a year to shoot, it is estimated that he would have made people roll up and get out of the way.

Especially the box office of "Qiong Lou Hate", which is not very good.

So at this time, seeing Zhang Shankun teasing himself, Ma Xu Weibang hurriedly waved his hand and said embarrassedly: "Don't delay, don't delay, my film is a Xiamen language film, I don't have any money, how can I drag it." ”

Xiamen Language Film ......

It is an absolute small language film in Xiangjiang, the distribution area is narrower, and the production cost is lower than that of Cantonese films, so many of them are seven-day fresh goods.

Ma Xu Weibang, a great director, how can he take over the filming?

Actually, he did it himself!

Since he filmed "Qiong Lou Hate" for six months in a row, almost breaking the news that Zhang Shankun went bankrupt, Hong Kong film business bosses, including Zhang Shankun, have avoided this 'artist'.

From "Qiong Lou Hate" to the present, Ma Xu Weibang has not received a new movie for almost two years.

But people always have to eat in life, and artists are also afraid of going hungry, and recently with the help of his apprentice Yuan Qiufeng, Ma Xu Weibang took over a job in a Xiamen language film.

It's just that this "Midnight Soul Returns" made him very painful.

In the past, Ma Xu Weibang filmed, he was as 'exquisite' as he was, and he didn't jump the camera when filming, but now when he is filming, he is 'willing' as he is, as long as he doesn't say the wrong lines, it's OK.

What a blow this is for him, a self-proclaimed artist!

So since Yang Qiu entered this tea room, except for a moment of surprise that Yang Qiu knew him, Ma Xu Weibang sat in the corner with a frustrated face, drinking tea silently and not bothering to make a sound.

However, since Ma Xu Weibang responded, Yang Qiu had to pick up the teacup and said: "Well, since this is the case, I, Yang Qiu, will replace the wine with tea here, thank you, Mr. Ma Xu." ”

"No, it should be. Ma Xu Weibang smiled bitterly.

"Ha, it's just a good one!" Zhang Shankun picked up the teacup and said while adding tea to Ma Xu Weibang: "Old Ma, if you had understood this, why not." ”

“……”

"Director Yang, hello. Yi Wen, who was bookish, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, took out a pen and a small notebook from his pocket, spread them on his knees and asked, "I finally met you once, can I ask you a few questions?"

"This ......" Yang Qiu looked at Yi Wen's posture, a little unclear.

Wang Yuanlong fell aside at this time and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I'm afraid Brother Yang doesn't know, the screenwriter is just Brother Yi's deputy, but he is the supplement editor of "Xiangjiang Times", this is an occupational criminal." ”

Yi Wen was very calm, and answered with a chuckle: "I hope Director Yang will forgive me for this sudden interview." ”

"Well, you might as well do it. Yang Qiu relaxed suddenly, and replied with a smile: "Brother Yi, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to mention them." ”

"Okay! Thank you. ”

Yi Wen casually traced a few strokes in his notebook, and then asked directly: "Your "Tianxian Pei" was a big hit last month, what do you think of the new film genre of Huangmei Opera? Or to put it bluntly, what do you think of the prospects of Huangmei Opera films?"

"Views...... The prospect ......" Yang Qiu hesitated for a moment, organized his language and said: "Huangmei opera, like movies, also belongs to one of the popular arts, as for the prospects, I am very optimistic, but as far as Huangmei opera films are concerned, according to the current popularity, I think it should be maintained for five to eight years at most." ”

"Why?" Yi Wen asked very calmly.

"There's nothing why. Yang Qiu shrugged his shoulders and said: "If you really want to give an answer, you can only say 'the audience is fickle', no matter how good things are, if you eat too much, you will get tired of it." ”

"The audience is a fickle ......"

"Yes, for example, three or four years ago, the audience preferred to watch movies with serious themes such as national enemies, family hatreds, human morals, and other serious themes, but what about these two years? Haven't you noticed that there are a lot of comedies in the theater? Especially Cantonese fragments with a more sensitive sense of smell, how long has it been since you have seen a film about national hatred and righteousness in the fragments?"

In the past, Cantonese fragments were not old films such as "XX Heroes vs. XX Monsters" or "Dasha XX", but there were also movies with national hatred themes such as "Life and Death Mandarin Ducks", "Blood Desire and Flowers", "National Disaster and Rich Man".

But now, this kind of film is becoming more and more difficult to find in the fragments.

"So Director Yang thinks comedy is the mainstream of the future?" Yi Wen asked with a frown.

"No, comedy is not the mainstream of the future. Yang Qiu paused and replied seriously: "Comedy has always been the mainstream from the past to the future. ”

Zhang Shankun, who listened to it for a long time next to "This ......", was a little sullen, thought about it, and interjected: "I have also made comedy movies, but I think that movies with serious themes can be more educational to the society." ”

"I admit it. Yang Qiu turned his head and nodded, and said, "But to be honest, I'm just a film businessman." ”

“？”

Seeing that Zhang Shankun and the four of them were all looking at themselves inexplicably, Yang Qiu knocked on the handrail and said indifferently: "Following the public or taking advantage of the situation is what I, a businessman, want to do; If I survive and survive, and help the artist when he is about to starve to death, then I, as a businessman, will do a good job. ”

Starving ...... Artist?

Everyone's eyes glanced at Ma Xu Weibang meaningfully, causing this guy to shrink his neck involuntarily.

"Heh, Brother Yang said so. Zhang Shankun sighed bitterly and said abruptly: "I feel that we are all out of the times, old and old." ”

Yang Qiu chuckled lightly and comforted: "Boss Zhang, I mean that comedy movies are on the rise, but I haven't said that serious movies are outdated." ”

"Oh?"

"Comedy is the mainstream, but serious is also the mainstream, entertainment and education are not in conflict, eliminate those that are outdated, follow the masses and follow the times, no matter what genre will not be outdated. ”

“……”

"Hoo ——!"

Zhang Shankun was silent for a while, and only sighed after half a sound, and suddenly said: "It's a good way to adapt to the times, don't hide it from you, I have been having a plan recently, I want to ...... Restart Xinhua Pictures. ”

As soon as the words 'Xinhua Pictures' came out, the scene was quiet, and everyone's reactions were different.

Wang Yuanlong raised his eyebrows and silently took a sip of the teacup; Yi Wen immediately diverted his attention and set his eyes on Zhang Shankun; while Ma Xu Weibang shook his hand and almost didn't jump up.

Even Yang Qiu was slightly flustered.

If you talk about the situation of the Chinese film industry in the thirties, Xinhua Pictures, located in the magic capital, must be a super monster.

Founded in 1934 and completely closed in 1942, this film company has produced more than 100 films in just eight years, and the output is amazing.

And among the artists who cooperate with it, there are many superstars such as Zhou Xuan, Hu Die and Chen Yunsheng. Even Wang Yuanlong and Ma Xu Weibang, who are sitting now, used to be members of Xinhua.

As for Xinhua's famous work, it is "Singing in the Middle of the Night" directed by Ma Xu Weibang.

And Zhang Shankun's great reputation in the Chinese film industry was established with Xinhua.

Now Zhang Shankun wants to raise the banner of 'Xinhua Pictures' again, undoubtedly to tell the world that he, Hu Hansan, is back!

It's just that......

Circumstances change with the passage of time;

Can he really come back?
