Next chapter
During the Chinese New Year, all kinds of entertainment were indispensable, and Lin Zixuan met Ge You, who came back from Lu Province.
This time they met, although Ge You still looked the same, but those who were familiar with it could feel that something was different.
Ge You was originally quiet and didn't talk much, but his brain was flexible, and the occasional interjection was so appropriate, but now his reaction was a little slow, or he was always distracted, and his mind was not on the wine table.
Sometimes when I asked him, it took him a long time to react, which made everyone quite worried.
Moreover, his eyes have also changed, his eyes used to be smart, revealing a clever strand, but at this time he is a little sluggish, always staring at one place, and he doesn't know what he is looking at.
"I'm sorry, I just came back, and I haven't recovered yet. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Ge Yu explained.
"How is that place?" Lin Zixuan said curiously.
Lin Zixuan only saw the place called Zhou Village from the photos of Zhang Yimou, which was originally an ancient town.
The place is quite remote, it used to be famous, there were more than 30 old streets and alleys at the most prosperous time, most of which were demolished in the 80s, and it is said that the reason why those ancient buildings can be preserved is because the local government has no demolition fees.
Ge You stayed in that town for more than two months this winter.
"That place is different from the capital, it is very quiet, when it snows, everyone is nested in the house, and nothing can be heard outside, at that time the heart is very quiet, and I can understand a lot of things. "But the locals also had a hard time, they didn't make a living, and they were all fooling around." ”
He went to experience life, lived in the homes of the locals, ate and lived with the locals, chatted with them, walked in the old streets and alleys, and felt the living conditions of the locals.
Life in Zhou Village is slow, especially in winter, when everyone has nothing to do, either wandering around or squatting down to bask in the sun.
The tide of reform is in full swing in the big cities of the south, but it is still the same in the small towns of the north, and the conservative and closed state cannot be changed overnight.
After two months like this, Ge You is naturally not used to returning to the capital.
What's more, he was pondering the role, and unconsciously substituted into the role, with a trace of wealth on his body.
This is called entering the play.
"It's a good thing that you go to filming, you can change the status quo there, the locals can make a lot of money even if they do group performances, and maybe that place can become a tourist attraction in the future, you save the economy of a town. Lin Zixuan said with a smile.
It is not an exaggeration to say this, Zhang Yimou invested so much in a play, and the group performance cost more than five yuan a day.
According to the filming plan, this "Alive" will be filmed in Zhoucun for at least half a year, and the daily expenses of hundreds of people in the crew alone can bring a lot of economic benefits to the town.
By the time "Alive" became famous, the town was well known and there was bound to be an endless stream of tourists.
But this is a matter for the future, Ge You will not return to Zhoucun Ancient Town until the Golden Bull Awards are presented this time, and "Alive" will start filming at that time.
Zhang Yimou's drama is ready to start in mid-April, and the filming period is about seven or eight months, plus the post-production, it will take a year, and he has always pursued excellence.
He wanted Lin Zixuan to also go to Zhou Village and take a look at the filming site, but Lin Zixuan could only promise to go over again when he had time.
"Youzi's state is not right, it's a bit too much into the play. While Ge You went to the toilet, Feng Xiaogang was worried.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Lin Zixuan wondered.
He is a producer, and he doesn't know much about the psychological state of the actors, and entering the drama is conducive to the filming of the film, and it will also bring side effects.
"It depends on the situation, he is always thinking about the role in his mind now, and he is almost fascinated, and it is estimated that he will be tired before the official shooting, and it is too difficult to think about another person every day, and Yan zhòng will have mental problems. Feng Xiaogang explained, "It's easy to be an actor, but it's not easy to act, Youzi is really attentive this time." ”
"What should I do then?" Lin Zixuan said with concern.
"Simple, let's get him drunk, let his brain empty, don't think about anything, sleep and adjust himself, this is my unique secret recipe. Feng Xiaogang sneered.
Lin Zixuan didn't know if what Feng Xiaogang said was true or not, or if Feng Xiaogang just wanted to get drunk and have fun.
Next, the two persuaded Ge You to drink a glass of left and right, congratulating him on his upcoming Golden Bull Award, congratulating him on making a fortune this year, and congratulating him on winning the Oscar next year.
It doesn't matter what you say, just drink anyway.
Ge You's amount of alcohol is good, but he can't stand drinking so much, they are all friends, and it's not good to steal and cheat, so he can only dry it in one gulp.
Different from the quiet on weekdays, Ge You is very excited when he is drunk, and he can talk to whom, and he can talk quite speculatively.
Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang sent Ge You home, and the two clapped their hands and left, no matter what.
In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Zixuan received a call from Ge You.
"You two did it on purpose last night, I still have a headache now, you guys are too damaged, just throw me at home and don't care, and say that I drank high by myself, and it has nothing to do with you, because I was counted down by your sister-in-law all morning, and this time I can bear it." Ge You complained.
Listening to the familiar tone, Lin Zixuan knew that Ge You had adjusted, and he didn't expect Feng Xiaogang's unique secret recipe to work well.
The holidays passed quickly, and the units in the capital began to work normally, and in the new year, a new beginning, all work had to be carried out.
At the art center, Lin Zixuan made arrangements a few years ago.
Zhao Baogang is good at filming dramas with urban emotional themes, and he was asked to direct "Addicted", which is an indoor drama, mainly to watch the performances of the actors, and the investment is not large.
Zhang Guoli asked to direct and act in "Kang Xi Weifu Private Interview", he used to be an assistant director, and seeing the success of Feng Xiaogang's "Beijing People in New York", he also wanted to try to be a director.
This is the first costume drama of the art center, and the investment is not small.
Lin Zixuan attaches great importance to it, and he arranged a very capable assistant director for Zhang Guoli to ensure that this series is filmed smoothly.
With the current staff of the center, it can only shoot three TV series at the same time, and if it wants to expand its scale, it will have to recruit troops, but the center's current funds are not enough for large-scale expansion.
This is the dilemma of state-owned units, which have no money to develop.
This year, after repeated discussions, the General Administration issued a document allowing private individuals to set up film and television companies, and private capital finally entered the film and television industry, instead of investing in various forms as before.
This indicates that there will be fierce competition between private film and television companies and state-owned film and television units.
For China's film and television industry, this is the beginning of a new era. (To be continued.) )
