Chapter 249: Lou Ye

"The main reason is that I usually neglect my family too much, and some time ago I said that I would go to her parents' house for dinner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info You also know that during that time, I was busy with the later stage of "Let It Go", and I didn't know what happened that day, the reporter's phone calls were a lot of times and one by one, and I turned off my phone when I was bored, and I forgot about going to her parents' house for dinner.

It wasn't until about eight o'clock in the evening that I had just turned on my phone when her call came in. At that time, I remember her asking me very calmly: when will I go over for dinner. Then I remembered that they had been waiting for me until now......

A few days later, she told me that she wanted to study in France, and then she moved to her parents' house, and she was now applying for a visa. ”

Wang Dalun couldn't help but be speechless, why did he encounter this kind of thing in the past two days. After a while, he licked his lips and asked, "Then what do you think?"

"What else can I think? Of course I persuaded her! I've apologized to her, and even told her that I wasn't going to make a movie. But she ...... Alas, it's useless to talk about anything now. Lao Jia lowered his head, put his hands in his hair, and sighed deeply.

Anyway, Lao Jia is still very nostalgic for his marriage. Wang Dalun wanted to comfort and comfort him, but when he thought of his own affairs, he didn't know where to start, so he could only accompany him to drink tea and smoke, until the door of the box was pushed open again.

The man was in his thirties, with a short flat haircut, black and thin. Even though it was the first time they met, both parties had seen each other in movies or in the media, and they were instantly recognizable.

"Brother Lou!" Lao Jia hurriedly stood up and greeted.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. "Lou Ye was sorry when he entered the door, his voice was very soft, very educated, and he was often very big against his appearance.

Without Lao Jia's introduction, Lou Ye took the initiative to reach over, smiled kindly and modestly, and said, "Hello, I'm Lou Ye." ”

"Hello Director Lou, I'm Wang Dalun. Wang Dalun shook hands with him, "Director Lou, please take a seat." ”

Everyone sat down to pour tea and handed over cigarettes, and Lao Jia first asked, "Brother Lou, how is your script reviewed?"

"And to revise. At this time, Lou Ye showed a wry smile, and said helplessly: "It's been almost a year, and there have been nearly ten drafts of revisions." ”

"That's still better than me, when I handed over the script and no one paid attention to it for more than half a year. Lao Jia also shook his head with a wry smile.

He is now full of resentment towards the relevant departments, because not only the work was banned, but even his qualifications as a director were also banned for five years, but fortunately, he did not choose to lie dormant like Grange Zhuangzhuang, but like Zhang Yuan, you ban yours, I shoot mine, at most, it can't be released in China.

"It stands to reason that your "Innocents" is about Shanghai in the thirties, and there is no conflict with today. Besides, there are spy wars, anti-Japanese and other things, all of which are the main theme of the theme, and it should be easy to pass the review, how can it drag on for so long? It seems that you still didn't understand the rules before, and now people want to teach you the rules. Lao Jia said with three points of resentment and seven points of ridicule.

"Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming" is also about resistance to Japan, and it stands to reason that it is also the main theme theme, so why don't you kill it anyway!" Lou Ye shook his head and said: "They pay more attention to the details, revolutionaries all have lofty ideals, not for personal revenge, this is called the wrong motive; the love of revolutionaries must be revolutionary love, it cannot be messed around, or even cannot be loved; revolutionaries are not afraid of death, even if they die, they are all heroic...... Sometimes I really don't want to change it anymore, and if I do, it's no longer my work, but ......"

Lou Ye didn't say any more, most of their sixth-generation directors grew up in the 80s, and the literati of that era shifted from singing praises to exploring the essence of literature, and began to "reflect on literature" and "scar literature", which is a hundred flowers blooming in the real sense. And movies also keep up with the trend, such as "Wushan Cloud and Rain", such as "Furong Town" and so on. It was the blooming of a hundred flowers at that time that created the fifth generation of directors represented by Zhang Dadao and Chen Dadao.

And when the sixth generation of directors really grew up, a turmoil in the big square completely changed the relaxed creative environment in the 80s, and they could only start from the ground to develop, which is the so-called underground director. In addition to Zhang Yuan, the representative figures are the two people sitting in front of Wang Dalun now.

Wang Dalun also roughly understood that Lou Ye's new movie is called "Innocents", which tells the story of the spy war and anti-Japanese war that took place in old Shanghai in the thirties, and the script is still under review and needs to be revised.

It sounds a bit like "The Wind" or "Lust and Caution" or something like that. In the memory of his previous life, he has no impression of what this movie is called "Innocents".

Originally, he thought that as usual, Lou Ye would take out the script for him to read, and then talk about his feelings, but from beginning to end, Lou Ye didn't seem to mean that, as if a friend introduced everyone to sit together and have a meal or something.

After chatting for a long time, Lou Ye's style gradually emerged. Compared with Lao Jia's market, Lou Ye is obviously much more petty bourgeoisie. For example, when it was time to order a meal, Lao Jia ordered a snack because he had just eaten a bowl of noodles - fried dumplings, and he thought that the rice vinegar was too light, so he asked the waiter to change a plate of old vinegar; Wang Dalun was a very popular braised beef rice, while Lou Ye ordered Italian meat sauce noodles with a very foreign style.

And Lou Ye tastes very elegant, not like eating lo mein, holding chopsticks and scribbling, but using a fork, first carefully mix the red meat sauce, then use a fork to circle the noodles, and finally send it to the mouth, although it looks troublesome, there is no sense of disobedience.

Wang Dalun also muttered to himself, if everyone hadn't ordered a simple meal, maybe he would have asked for a steak with a glass of red wine or something.

"How's that slice of yours?" Lou Ye asked slowly, rolling the noodles with a fork.

"Almost. Lao Jia said.

"Cannes next year?"

"Hmm. Lao Jia didn't hide it, nodded very happily, and said modestly: "If you can go to Cannes, you will win!"

"Yours?" he asked.

"Let's look at the review situation, if it can be passed before the end of the year, it is estimated that it will be able to start in the middle of the year. As he said this, Lou Ye glanced in the direction of Wang Dalun, intentionally or unintentionally.

He continued: "I invested a little bit in Naian, and the Rotterdam fund has a part, but the majority is French, and they have also promised to be responsible for the European distribution in the future. The reason why it was submitted for review was because the French proposed that I cooperate with Shanghai Film Studio, and it is best to follow a formal path. They don't want to lose the domestic box office. However, the script alone took a year to review, and the French couldn't wait for a long time. You see, if you don't pass the trial by the end of the year, you'll have to go back to the old ways. ”

In the end, Lou Ye had a gloating smile on his face and said, "Anyway, I don't care." When I came out of that yamen today, I thought about it, and you asked me to change it, right? I'll change it! It's a big deal that I'll get two versions. ”

"Then you should be careful, if someone reports it, you will be just as unlucky. Lao Jia has always been angry about the reports made by some people about him back then, and reminded.

"Then there's no way, this is my bottom line!" Lou Ye shook his head, his eyes flashing with determination.

It wasn't until after eating that Lou Ye took out the script from his bag and handed it to Wang Dalun, saying, "Dalun, you watch it first." ”

"What version is this?" Wang Dalun asked.

Lou Ye was stunned for a moment, but immediately showed a sly smile and said, "The original." ”

Then he added: "This is a story that happened in Shanghai in the thirties, there are love stories, and there are other things. It's about an ordinary person who gets involved in an incident that he doesn't want to get involved in. Well...... Forget it, when you finish reading the script, we will talk again when we have a chance. Anyway, the script is still under review, and we'll get in touch when the time comes. ”

After eating, everyone dispersed, and Lou Ye had to rush back to Shanghai in the afternoon. Lao Jia went to pay the phone bill, and his wife went back to live at her parents' house, and his life was also chaotic, and the phone at home was shut down.

Wang Dalun sat in the car in a daze, he didn't want to go home too early today, so he made a few phone calls, and Cheng Chuang was rehearsing a drama in the troupe; Zhu Wen and his concubine went to the southern waves of Caiyun, and of course he said on the phone that he had gone to collect wind; Zhao Wei was playing "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" with Jiang Wen in the desert of Xinjiang at this time; Sun Li was preparing for the first play in her life, so it was better not to disturb her; Zhao Baogang? Forget it, he was as old as his father, and there was a generation gap.

Wang Dalun suddenly found that he had nowhere to go, smoked a cigarette, and finally started the car and drove in the direction of his community.

When I got downstairs at my house, the MINI Coolpad I just brought back yesterday was gone, and I didn't need to ask my girlfriend if I was going out. When he got home, the soy milk and flatbread fritters on the table in the morning were gone, and the empty soy milk bag was still on the coffee table, he threw it into the trash can, and then went to the bedroom to see, the quilt was piled up on the bed haphazardly, and the sheets were gone. I didn't see it on the balcony, I went to the bathroom to see, and sure enough, the washed sheets were still in the washing machine, and I must have forgotten the sheets when I left.

Wang Dalun could only shake his head with a wry smile, washed his hands and prepared to dry the sheets, but when he was drying, he suddenly found a few drops of black and red blood stains on the green sheets.

He smiled, at this moment he seemed to have found a reason to forgive his girlfriend at once, it turned out that a relative came, no wonder he was open yesterday. Women, there will always be a few days a month when you are not calm.

As if he had put down a big stone in his heart, he hummed a little song and went to the kitchen to get a bottle of white vinegar, and smeared the white vinegar on the blood stains that had not been washed off, and had to let it stand for more than ten minutes. Taking advantage of this time, he went back to the bedroom, changed into clean sheets, folded the quilt, opened the curtains, and opened the window to ventilate.

The time was almost up, and I scrubbed hard with soap on the bloodstains, and after a while, the blood stains on the kung fu sheets were scrubbed off, and then rinsed again, and while the afternoon sun was still good, I quickly hung it out to dry.
