Chapter 181: Director Chen Zifeng
This night, the guests and hosts were happy, even Xu Zelun put down the shelf after that, and joined everyone's conversation, after putting aside his angry words, Lin Qihua also found that he is indeed a very capable musician, some theories, so that Lin Qihua and others feel bright, no wonder Wen Weizhe will become good friends with him, it makes sense.

After returning to the hotel, Lin Qihua gave the score of "The Heart of the Prodigal Son" to Wen Weizhe, and at the same time officially signed a licensing contract to allow him to cover the song. In Xiangjiang, this spirit of contract is implemented even better, and even if Lin Qihua doesn't care, Wen Weizhe insists on doing so.
"There is a clear distinction between public and private, no matter how good the relationship between you and me is, this aspect is equivalent to business-business exchanges, and this must be done, otherwise, I will not be able to sing this song. He insisted.
"Okay. Lin Qihua could only sign a contract with him under the witness of everyone, and the relevant content was specified in detail.
After signing his name, Wen Weizhe shook hands with him excitedly, "I like this song so much, I have a hunch that it will be liked by all the people in Xiangjiang." ā
"That's my pleasure. ā
"Good brother. Wen Weizhe punched him, "With your Cantonese level and singing ability, we will hold a concert here in the future, and we will ensure that the Red Hall will also be full." ā
"Okay, I'll invite you to be a guest then, and we'll sing this song "The Prodigal Son's Heart" together. ā
"I don't dare to ask for it. ā
ā¦ā¦
When Wen Weizhe and the others left, Lian Yuling and the three looked at Lin Qihua excitedly.
Shen Manni patted Lin Qihua's shoulder and laughed, "It's good, this slap in the face, it's a snap." ā
Lian Yuling also showed a smile and nodded with him, it seemed that she also agreed with Shen Manni's opinion very much.
"I just feel something. Lin Qihua didn't have a happy expression at all, and sighed, "In fact, Xiangjiang music is the most classical music form, you see those classic works, sung in Cantonese, always have a taste of ancient style, people can't help but like it, this is their advantage." Hopefully, they can really rise again, after all, people don't stop waiting for them. ā
"This kind of thing, you have to change it yourself," Lian Yuling said crisply, "Don't worry about it." ā
"Haha, too. Lin Qihua stretched his waist, "It's late at night, let's rest quickly, and I'll make an appointment with Director Chen for morning tea tomorrow." ā
"How early is this, how early?"
"Well, it's okay to say it's noon tea. ā
"Giggles. ā
ā¦ā¦
At ten o'clock in the morning, Diao Ji Teahouse.
"Director Chen: Okay. Not long after Lin Qihua and the four of them sat down, a middle-aged man walked in, Lin Qihua saw his photo and hurriedly greeted him.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to ask me directly for morning tea, it seems that you understand us very well. Director Chen Lang smiled, "And I chose this teahouse directly, don't look at it looks old, but it is the most famous, not the old Xiangjiang people are not necessarily clear, you have put in a lot of effort." ā
"Of course, if you ask for something, you have to prepare carefully, right? Lin Qihua said frankly and introduced to others, "This is director Chen Zifeng, he is a big director, he is soft to win awards, and he is famous all over the world." Director Chen, this is my senior sister Lian Yuling, these two are our agents. ā
"Hello. Lian Yuling and the three of them greeted politely.
"Hello. Director Chen Zifeng smiled, his eyes stayed on Lian Yuling's face for a while, revealing a surprised look.
"Although I checked some information, it is beyond my ability to order food, so I have to ask Director Chen to make a move, so that we can taste the most authentic morning tea. ā
"That's nature. Chen Zifeng didn't need to look at the recipe, he just sketched on the order menu, and it was completed, which shows that he is very familiar with this place.
"I'm very happy that you asked me to meet here for morning tea," Chen Zifeng said with a smile after ordering, "We Xiangjiang people like to drink tea and chat in this kind of place, talk about things, and then need professional things in the future, and then transfer the place, you have done your homework very well." ā
"Every place has its own customs and customs, and following the customs of the locals is the only way to communicate, and I didn't expect Director Chen to accept my invitation, and I am also very happy. Lin Qihua replied with a smile.
Chen Zifeng waved his hand, "Although I am from Xiangjiang, I spend most of my time filming in the mainland, so I am also very familiar with you, the most popular singer last year was you, with a bright future, I like your songs very much, especially "Blue and White Porcelain", which is very tasteful, otherwise I would not have let the studio send the script over and invite you to sing." ā
"That's my honor, and I also have a lot of admiration for Director Chen, who can perfectly combine the characteristics of Hong Kong and the mainland to make a unique movie, and Director Chen is a top master. ā
"You are too awarded," Chen Zifeng smiled and shook his head, "In fact, it is a last resort, our generation of Xiangjiang directors, on the basis of inheriting the failed experience of the previous generation of directors, began to explore how to combine the thinking and advantages of Xiangjiang directors with the advantages of the mainland, and find a way to truly fit the production. ā
"But, you've found the right path, haven't you?" Lin Qihua said seriously, "I have seen your works, which have the advantages of Xiangjiang films' unique thinking, sense of humor, and detail processing, as well as the scenes, pictures, and plots of the mainland, and they are flesh and blood, and they can completely compete with Hollywood blockbusters." ā
Chen Zifeng was stunned for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to study my film so deeply, that's right, this is exactly what we have been pursuing. Laughing and scolding to see the truth, in short, it is a big brain, like to make some seemingly inexplicable plots and lines, only the director can understand but the audience can't understand, it can be said that success and failure are also this, when this style is fixed and there is no way to open up a new way, when the audience, especially the mainland audience, has a higher vision and no longer likes our style, it is the time when Xiangjiang films declined, which began in the 70s, was brilliant in the eighties and nineties, and fell in the 10s, which is the development history of Xiangjiang films, Xiangjiang films= Bad movie, this kind of argument will actually be put on our heads, and we can't refute it, which is also the most painful thing for us filmmakers. ā
I don't think Xiangjiang films are specifically filmed, produced and screened in Xiangjiang, but should be films that inherit the concept and characteristics of Xiangjiang films and are further developed, just like the films you are shooting now are still the representatives of Xiangjiang films, and your success is the success of Xiangjiang films, and in the future, they will surely regain their glory. ā
"When you say this, I am deeply touched," Chen Zifeng breathed a deep sigh of relief, "In fact, we do make movies with this concept in mind, thank you for your recognition of us, I think, this topic is too heavy, let's get back to business." ā
At this time, the waiter had already sent all kinds of exquisite pastries, and the two did not speak for the time being, buried their heads and began to eat, and turned the topic to the evaluation of each refreshment, Lian Yuling also occasionally expressed two sentences of her own opinion, and the atmosphere slowly became harmonious.
When he was almost finished, Chen Zifeng wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "I am very grateful to you for coming to talk about cooperation in person, it seems that you have prepared for the song of my script." ā
"This is natural, without a little preparation, wouldn't it be a big crime to bother you rashly?" Lin Qihua said with a smile, "When I saw this script, I refused, this is simply subversive, such a classic novel plot, subvert it for you like this, if Mr. Jin knows about it, he will probably climb out in anger and yell at you." ā
"Haha. Chen Zifeng high-fived and smiled, "You can rest assured that the copyright of the adaptation has long been in my hands, in fact, this classic has been filmed countless times, and all kinds of plots have long been filmed, so the copyright has long been in the name of our company, so there is no need to consider this worry, it seems that you agree with my design." ā
"It's not recognition, but admiration," Lin Qihua gave a thumbs up, "It's really a brain-opening, but it makes people look forward to the appearance of this work infinitely, I think, I will definitely break my glasses." ā
"Subversion is the only way to reshape the classics. Chen Zifeng said confidently, "No one has ever thought of starting from such a character, martial arts is one of the symbols of Xiangjiang movies, on the basis of the classics, pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, using new modern film technology, to recreate the classics, this is my dream, this, is my attempt." ā
"I agree with this very much, so not only did I bring the work that I had created on my part, but at the same time, I was also looking for a role for my senior sister. ā
"She?" Chen Zifeng glanced at Lian Yuling thoughtfully, "Although my movie has just been launched, and most of the roles have not yet been decided, it is not difficult for me to recommend a role, but this is not a reason for me to decide a role at will." ā
"I didn't mean that either," Lin Qihua said with a smile, "Just think of it as an audition, I think she is the most suitable person for this role, you can interview, yes, just give it a chance, no, I'll leave the song I prepared and leave immediately, it won't cause you a little trouble." ā
Chen Zifeng pondered for a moment, looked at Lian Yuling carefully, and his expression gradually became a little solemn, "What do you mean, could it be that you are interviewing the heroine?"
"Yes. ā
Chen Zifeng didn't laugh at them for talking about dreams, because Lian Yuling gave him new ideas, perhaps, it was really possible.
