Huangpu District Housing Management Bureau, Director's Office.

Hearing that Wang Zheng's schedule for next year has been filled, Zhang Xun, general manager of China Film Co-production Company, said: "Director Wang, domestic films are still in their infancy, and it is the time when you need the help of your Xiangjiang directors!"

Zhang Xun's tone was very sincere, which made Wang Zheng embarrassed, not because he was pretending, but because he was afraid of smashing his signboard, after all, his previous plays were too commercial, and they might not be accepted by the audience in the mainland.

Seeing that the expression on Wang Zheng's face was relaxed, Zhang Xun continued to persuade: "In 82, director Li Hanxiang established Kunlun Film Company, and filmed "Listening to Politics with the Curtain" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace" with the film co-production company. But if you want Chinese films to develop quickly and steadily, director Li Hanxiang alone seems to be a bit alone, this time I heard from the comrades here in Shanghai that Director Wang came to Shanghai, so I flew over from Yanjing non-stop. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xun bowed slightly to Wang Zheng and said apologetically: "I knew that Director Wang wanted to buy No. 18 on the Bund, so I had to add this additional condition, and I asked Director Wang not to blame!"

Wang Zheng hurriedly helped Zhang Xun up, and said with a slight smile: "Boss Zhang doesn't have to be like this, it's a great honor to be able to contribute to Chinese films, but you also know that several scenes I filmed before and after were all from a commercial point of view, and suddenly asked me to shoot a co-production, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come up with a good script for a while." In my opinion, if you want to make a co-production, you have to make the best, if it is shoddy and smashes my signboard, I am afraid that I will miss the development direction of Chinese films, then I will become a sinner through the ages. ”

Zhang Xun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Director Wang doesn't need to be modest, although I am in the mainland, I still know the trends of the Xiangjiang film industry, and with Director Wang's feat of breaking the box office record in Xiangjiang film history, the quality of the filming and co-production will not be bad." ”

Wang Zheng is helpless, he is really not modest, he can break the record twice, mainly relying on his familiarity with several plays in his previous life, just copying it, plus the powerful resources of Shaw Brothers in the future, it is not difficult to succeed, but if he is asked to shoot a feature film seriously, it is still a little far-fetched, and the director's control and the actor's acting skills in the play will be strictly required.

Just when Zhang Xun continued to lobby and Wang Zheng was in a dilemma, a symphony came from the Bund Highway. Driven by curiosity, Guan Zhilin opened the window in his office and looked out onto the road.

"Zheng, come and see, there is a team of relatives below, it's so lively!"

Guan Zhilin yelled, directly interrupting the conversation between the two, Wang Zheng smiled apologetically at Zhang Xun: "I'm sorry, Zhilin hasn't been back to the mainland for a long time, and she behaves a little Meng Lang." ”

Zhang Xun laughed: "No, no, in my opinion, Miss Guan is a temperamental person, let's go and have a look!"

In Wang Zheng's view, in China in the 80s, the wedding team should be beating the drum, blowing the suona, and carrying the sedan chair, but the greeting team on the Bund Highway is a 20-member Western orchestra, the trombone replaces the suona, the violin replaces the erhu, the timpani replaces the drum, and a crown car that only entered the mainland this year replaces the sedan chair.

As soon as the brand-new welcoming procession entered the streets, it immediately attracted onlookers from the public.

Director Ding of the Housing Management Bureau looked at the greeting procession and sighed: "Reform and opening up has been on the right track, not only allowing the people to live a prosperous life, but even getting married has changed new tricks!"

Zhang Xun looked at the welcoming team, but expressed a different opinion: "Although the new tricks can be refreshing, but the national culture left by the ancestors cannot be forgotten, according to the development of such a trend, I am afraid it will be very difficult to see the bride sitting in a sedan chair with a red hijab in the future!"

Zhang Xun's words made Wang Zheng a little surprised, he didn't expect him to have such an awareness, it is not difficult to see a bride with a red hijab in the future, but it is not possible to see it at all.

The invasion of Western culture has led to the extinction of many traditional Chinese cultures, and a large number of traditional skills have been lost, resulting in the end, the cost of a Chinese wedding is much higher than that of a Western wedding, and most families have no choice but to choose a Western-style wedding in order to save high wedding costs.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng's mind suddenly flashed a later movie, which was very suitable for shooting in the 80s, for him, instead of grabbing the box office with Golden Harvest and New Art City, he hoped to make some meaningful movies that were worthy of the world's deep thought.

When joining the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the great director Wang Tianlin repeatedly instilled the concept that making movies is to make money to Wang Zheng, To Qifeng and other executive directors, although Wang Zheng respects director Wang Tianlin very much, but he does not agree with this concept, for him, the movie is a spiritual comfort, in addition to conveying some positive energy, but also to have a plot that allows the audience to think deeply, which is also a necessary condition for a good movie.

Just like the U.S. Congress uses Hollywood as a platform to convey the strength of the U.S. military to the world, in addition to deterring other countries, it is also a kind of show of force.

On the other hand, Wang Tianlin's concept of filming is to make money, the biggest representative is his son Wang Jing, in the early stage, Zhou Xingchi merged with his double sword, he can be invincible, once Zhou Xingchi leaves, he will have countless bad movies, and he knows that with this concept, he can't make good works at all.

Wang Zheng has great ambitions, in the early stage, he used commercial films to stabilize the identity of a big director, and then used movies to convey what he thought after his position was stable, but he didn't expect to have this opportunity so soon, and now it seems that he has to take a step forward.

"Boss Zhang, you are right, Chinese films need more Chinese people to work together to make Chinese films occupy a place in global films, and I will create a complete script by next summer at the latest, and I can start filming as soon as I pass the review." ”

Wang Zheng's change in attitude made Zhang Xun overjoyed, and he didn't think about why he suddenly changed his mind, and said with a smile: "What Director Wang said is very true, and I am very much looking forward to this cooperation!"

Wang Zheng's final compromise made Director Ding breathe a sigh of relief, and in order to express his apology, the procedures that needed to be handled to buy No. 18 were green all the way, and on the same day, No. 18 on the Bund quietly changed owners.

After all the things were done, Wang Zheng did not stay any longer, handed over the 18th to the Housing Authority to continue to take over, and left Shanghai on the same day.

In order to express his sincerity, Zhang Xun specially arranged a Santara to send Wang Zheng and his party of four to Zhejiang.

Together with the driver, Santara loaded Wang Zheng and the four people, although it was slightly crowded, but it was a "luxury car" in the 80s, and three hours later, the four of them arrived safely at Zhejiang University.
