"The Good Man of the Three Gorges" roughly describes:

Fengjie County, Chongqing, where the construction of the Three Gorges is underway, welcomes two Shanxi people, a man and a woman.

Han Sanming, a man from Fenyang, is a loyal and honest coal miner, who came to Fengjie to find his ex-wife who he has not seen for 16 years.

His ex-wife was bought by him with money back then, and after giving birth to a child, he ran back to Fengjie. There were many twists and turns in the process of finding his ex-wife, and Han Sanming decided to stay and work as a coolie until his ex-wife appeared.

The woman, Shen Hong, is from Taiyuan, a taciturn nurse who comes to celebrate the festival in search of her husband who has not been in contact with her for many days.

The relationship between her husband and her husband and wife has long been in name only, although she knows this very well, she still wants her husband to give her an explanation in person. Zhao Hong's search process was not smooth sailing, and her husband was avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Han Sanming and Shen Hong don't know each other, they have a mysterious connection in the dark because they have to make the relative choice of "picking up" and "abandoning".

As the winner of the Golden Lion Award, Wang Meng has watched "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" in his previous life many times.

The film's director, Jia Zhangke's unique realistic style, is special among Chinese directors.

And Jia Zhangke has a special Fenyang plot, and almost half of the films are filmed in Fenyang.

"The Good Man of the Three Gorges", which was filmed in the early stage, can be said to be unknown until it became famous and known to the world.

Like Ning Hao, Jia Zhangke is also unknown and famous.

And in the future, Jia Zhangke still continues the style of realistic shooting.

After "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", until 13 years of "Heaven Destined" became popular again. Seven of those years did not have a big hit movie.

This is inseparable from Jia Zhangke's character, a typical literary and artistic fan, and a persistent artistic discussant.

Wang Meng took a general look at the script, and there was not much difference.

However, there are few detailed descriptions.

Jia Zhangke is very similar to Wong Kar-wai, he doesn't like to be involved in the script, and likes to change it according to the inspiration during filming.

There is another such director named Jiang Wen.

All three of them are genius directors, and they are indeed very powerful, and they like to follow their own ideas.

However, Jia Zhangke has an advantage, compared to Jiang Wen and Wong Kar-wai, Jia Zhangke is not so "willful".

As long as Jiang Wen and Wong Kar-wai give him money, they will change the way to go through everything they can think of, and as for which one to use in the final editing, maybe it will be.

Just like Wong Kar-wai's "The True Story of A Fei", the investor was directly hospitalized by vomiting blood. Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming" and "The Sun Also Rises", if the producer hadn't been weaned, Jiang Wen might have filmed it for a year or two.

Jia Zhangke is different, although he also likes to shoot according to his inner thoughts. But it is not so capricious, and it will be completed within the controllable investment funds.

Therefore, in order to shoot this "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" well, Jia Zhangke asked for a budget of 2 million yuan.

In fact, Jia Zhangke didn't expect Wang Meng to agree, such a film, one million can definitely handle it. The reason why I want so much is not to plan for price reduction.

But......

Unexpectedly, Wang Meng agreed.

Therefore, Jia Zhangke said uneasily: "Director Wang, don't you need to discuss it with the people in your company?" ”

Jia Zhangke thinks it's incredible, it can be completed with one million, and with a better shooting quality, it can be done with 1.5 million.

After all, there are no stars and no big scenes, and the starring role is still his relatives and girlfriends.

The reason why I need a budget of 200 is that it was too difficult to find investment in the past.

Investors will always try their best to reduce costs, you say 2 million, in the best case, it would be good to give you 1.5 million.

How have I ever seen a 'generous person' like Wang Meng.

"There's no need, I can still call the shots for 2 million." Wang Meng waved his hand. Then he said: "But Director Ning wants to promise me to shoot the best quality, and I hope Director Ning will do his best to shoot this film perfectly." ”

Jia Zhangke was stunned for a moment, a little moved!

In fact, Wang Meng knows how to deal with Wen Qing, and it is more useful for you to treat them with sincerity than to restrain them with the buckle of funds.

Give him full trust and show a little generosity, and they will be more 'generous' in return.

At least, Jia Zhangke is like this.

From the understanding of Wang Meng in the previous life, I know that Jia Zhangke is very emotional and credit-oriented, and using emotional cards is the best way.

Of course, using it like this is a bit 'decent'.

Ordinary people use power and money to influence others, but Wang Meng is of a higher grade and uses his feelings to influence others.

The nature is difficult to change, and the previous life is even more powerful, and this life has integrated the thoughts of the original owner, and it has converged a lot.

Since the original owner is also a literary fan, he has a feeling of sympathy for Jia Zhangke.

However, Jia Zhangke was a little moved.

"Director Wang, don't worry, for the sake of this trust, I will definitely complete this work with my heart. This is not only your hope, but also my heart as a director, I will treat my work like a child. Jia Zhangke said very deeply.

Wang Meng looked at it and knew that it was done, and said: "Director Jia, you can do your best to arrange, I just need to be a producer, and I won't make other arrangements." Later, I will call Manager Zhao Jisen Zhao of DreamWorks, you go to Modu to find him, he will arrange it for you, you can use DreamWorks for the crew, you can also find it yourself, it all depends on your attitude. In addition, you also have the idea about the actors in the movie, and I will give you the greatest support. ”

After this pass, Jia Zhangke felt that Wang Meng was too considerate and gave him the greatest support, where to find such an investor and such a producer.

Wang Meng saw Jia Zhangke's excited expression, and said: "Actually, Director Ning and I also arranged it this way, I am also a director, and I know the director's thoughts. Every director doesn't want a producer who dictates. Since I believe in you and invest in you, I will give the greatest support, and the only requirement is to make the movie well, and nothing else is beautiful. ”

What else can Jia Zhangke say, this is the best decision.

So with a grateful heart, Jia Zhangke thought: We must make a good movie, so that we can be worthy of Wang Meng and himself.

Subsequently......

Wang Meng called Zhao Jisen's phone.

A few days ago, Wang Meng told Zhao Jisen about it, and arranged a qiē properly, just waiting for Wang Meng's call.

When Wang Meng said that Jia Zhangke would go back to the magic capital to find him in a few days, Zhao Jisen said that there was no problem, and the budget funds had been sorted out.

Just waiting for Jia Zhangke to come over.

After making the call, Jia Zhangke said goodbye to Wang Meng with excitement.

Now he just wants to make the movie as much as possible, so that his heart will be much more stable.

There was no greeting or a treat or anything, and after saying goodbye in a hurry, I began to prepare for the planning of the crew.

Instead, he said a sentence and said, "Director Wang, after I'm ready, I hope you can be there when the camera is turned on." ”

How could Wang Meng refuse this, he would be embarrassed when he didn't show up and win the award in the future.

Not only must you be there, but no matter how busy you are, you have nothing to do to go to the crew of "The Good People of the Three Gorges" to visit a few more times.

When you win the prize in this way, you can also take it with peace of mind.

Even if the media wants to make trouble, they can't say why.

So Wang Meng said that he must go......
