Chapter 119: Forbidden Guide
"What, you've been banned?" Wang Dalun said stunned.
"That's right, the notice of the relevant departments to ban me is now in my hands, well, "Notice on Not Supporting and Assisting Jia Zhangke in Filming Film and Television and Post-processing". Lao Jia said calmly on the phone.
"W, what the hell does this mean?"
Wang Dalun was a little stunned, and even Zhang Yuan had lifted the ban, so why did Lao Jia fold in? The only thing Lao Jia did that made the relevant departments unhappy was probably to take "Xiao Wu" to the Berlin Film Festival without permission. But there are more such situations, even the two masters of the current generation, who are known as the fifth generation, did not do this kind of thing at the beginning. And Lao Jia's attitude is quite correct, actively and deeply reviewed, and the second film is honestly submitted for review.
"Someone reported it!" This sentence finally faintly revealed the indignation and unwillingness in Lao Jia's tone.
"Who is the hell of a fuck like this, doing this kind of shitty thing with a son without an asshole?" Wang Dalun scolded through gritted teeth.
From when Zhang Yuan was detained when he left the country, to now Lao Jia is banned, it is like there is a fire in his heart that has nowhere to vent, but he is helpless. He then asked, "Lao Jia, you shouldn't offend anyone, right?"
Lao Jia smiled bitterly: "Speaking of offending anyone, I really can't beat it, maybe I'm in the way of others, maybe I should be honored to make master-level characters jealous of me." Anyway, I hit the muzzle of the gun this time. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, return the master, tell me quickly, which bastard is it?"
Lao Jia hesitated for a moment before he said: "Today, Lao Zhao from the relevant department talked to me, and he went out on an excuse in the middle, uh, maybe he did it on purpose, just to let me see the report letter on his desk." To be honest, I was quite nervous and excited at the time, but it's ridiculous to think about it now. They may still think that the report letter is not convincing, and they deliberately attached a report on "Xiao Wu" from Taiwan's "Dacheng Daily", and the crime against me was actually 'affecting China's normal cultural exchanges with foreign countries'.......
Old Jabalabala spoke before finally giving a name.
"What is this thing?" Wang Dalun was very unfamiliar when he heard the name.
"Hehe, the literary planning of a certain master. Lao Jia said with a dry smile.
This year can be called the fifth generation of masters, just like these two, one of them is very high, boasting of a deep cultural heritage, and there is no literary planning at all. So who is behind the scenes, it is obvious that it is about to come out.
Wang Dalun turned from anger at the beginning to feel very sad, not only for Lao Jia, Lao Jia is just a cannon fodder, but what he is really sad about is the movie that is regarded as the most sacred by Zhang Yuan, Lao Jia and others.
He didn't expect that the person he once respected very much, the man who looked like an honest old farmer with ravines, would have such a clumsy character.
This matter has gone far beyond the scope of peer competition, but the politics of Chiguoguo. When an artist is contaminated with politics, he will never make a good movie. The memory of his previous life told him that although this master was still famous from then on, and a few years later directed a famous opening ceremony in his own country, the films he made never reached the heights he had reached before, and there were many bad films.
The two were silent together, and after a while, Wang Dalun said, "Are you still making that movie?"
"Shoot, why not!"
Lao Jia suddenly said heroically: "Actually, I couldn't figure it out at first, but now I have figured it out." To be honest, I should be content, it's not as difficult now as it was when I first filmed "Xiao Wu", right? At least I don't have to worry about investment now. Being banned, I don't have to worry about whether the script can pass the review, and I don't have to revise my script for the sake of censorship. ”
"Really, I'm very relaxed right now. To borrow a quote from Abraham Lincoln: You may deceive everyone part of the time, and you may deceive some people all the time, but you can never deceive everyone at all times. Society is always improving, so I believe that one day domestic audiences will see the movies I make. ”
Wang Dalun didn't know if he really figured it out, or if he was helpless to comfort himself. He could only follow Lao Jia's words and said with a smile: "Okay, then we will wait for this day." Don't forget, I'm still the male protagonist of your movie. ”
"Of course, you're my royal actor. Other people's films can win the top prizes at the three major European film festivals, and I believe I can too. Since his movies can produce an actor, Da Lun, you remember, I, Jia Zhangke, owe you the title of actor. ”
Although he kept saying that he had let go and was relaxed, Lao Jia's words still had a strong fighting spirit to compete with a certain master.
In fact, although Lao Jia won two awards at the Berlin Film Festival with "Xiao Wu", he can only be regarded as a fledgling underground director, and he wants to challenge a master who is second to none in China, which may sound funny, but Wang Dalun is very convinced. Because he is none other than Jia Zhangke.
……
Teacher Liang Song and Li Yeping completed their respective scenes and left the crew, and the second part of the scene is not as hard as the third part, it is all daytime plays, about Li Bingbing taking Liu Ling all over the street, looking for a home that has been moved out due to demolition.
Since that outbreak, Liu Ling has returned to normal, and she goes shopping with the girl and Li Bingbing every day in addition to filming, which is very leisurely. But since she returned to normal, her performance seems to have returned to the way it used to be, very steady, decent, but lacking in passion, far less tense than when she first broke out. Zhang Yuan had a headache for this, and talked to her several times, but the effect was not good, although Zhang Yuan was very regretful, but it was still within his acceptable range, so he could only shoot step by step.
During this period, Fan Ziyi's lawsuit for terminating the contract also has eyebrows, although the brokerage company in Taiwan Bay still held on to the liquidated damages of one million at the beginning, but they are not stupid, if they sent a lawyer's letter at the beginning, asking for a negotiated settlement and peaceful termination of the contract, there may be a suspicion of bluffing, but after the formal prosecution, it is definitely serious.
They know that they will definitely not win the lawsuit, even if it drags on, they will lose both sides in the end, so they have the meaning of out-of-court settlement. Wang Dalun really underestimated Mu Xiaotian, and after a few rounds, he pressed the liquidated damages to 150,000. According to the agency contract signed, the two parties below 150,000 yuan will be divided according to the amount pressed down. But Mu Xiaotian weighed it and felt that it was almost the bottom line of the other party, if the stalemate continued, it might anger the other party, they would rather not want this money, but also drag it, maybe they would use the media to stink Fan Ziyi.
For the sake of insurance, Mu Xiaotian specially called to ask Wang Dalun and Fan Ziyi for their opinions, and decided to set the liquidated damages at 150,000, end the lawsuit as much as possible, and change the girl to a free body. Wang Dalun sent the money and lawyer fees to Mu Xiaotian in advance and entrusted him with carte blanche to handle it.
Seeing that her boyfriend took the initiative to help herself pay the liquidated damages, the girl was very guilty, and once she was ashamed to take the initiative to ask for dedication, but fortunately, Wang Dalun reined in the precipice.
Since Liu Ling disturbed a good thing last time, Wang Dalun has also thought a lot, first, the girl is still a minor after all, and there will always be a sense of guilt for doing this; second, he has just paid the money on the front foot, and the back foot is the same as the girl, what is this? Taking advantage of the danger of others or coercing him to repay him? He really can't do this kind of thing.
Moreover, he can now be sure that the girl is a chick, and his current body is also a virgin, and the first time he opens meat can not be in this small hotel, there must be a ritualized scene, so that it will be a good memory in the future. So in the future, let's endure it for the time being.
"It's all because I didn't have a heart at the beginning, so I was deceived by them so casually. 150,000 yuan, all the films I helped them shoot add up to less than 100,000 yuan. ”
Fan Ziyi was lying in her boyfriend's arms, and she was very distressed about the 150,000 yuan thrown out in vain, plus more than 160,000 yuan in lawyer fees.
"Don't lie, I'm afraid you're desperate when you sign the contract, right? Look at Zhao Wei, even Zhao Wei has signed it. Besides, after all, people have made you popular, this money is nothing at all, maybe you can earn it back in a year. Wang Dalun said.
Fan Ziyi nodded, now she is quite confident in herself, her salary has risen to 5,000 for filming Zhu Er, and now she has to start at least 6 or 7,000, and she is about to catch up with her boyfriend's salary.
"Why don't I sign your company in the future, do you think it's okay?" Fan Ziyi said on a whim.
Wang Dalun frowned, he didn't say whether it was good or not, although Zhao Baogang's company was very good to him and gave him the greatest trust, and he didn't even have a contract, but he always felt that his eggs should not be put in one basket.
"What, isn't it good?" Fan Ziyi couldn't help but ask when she saw that he was silent. She suffered a loss last time, and now she pays attention to her boyfriend's opinion.
"It's not bad, but it's a thing...... Anyway, it's almost the New Year, so let's wait until the end of the New Year. Wang Dalun thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason, so he had to say vaguely.
"By the way, have you decided, are you going to go back to your hometown or come home with me for the New Year?" happened to talk about this topic, Wang Dalun asked again.
This topic has been asked several times, and the girl has never had a definite answer. It's already mid-January now, and if nothing else, the play will be finished in more than ten days at most.
"Well, I decided. Unlike the previous girl's always vague attitude, this time she said very resolutely: "I'm going to go home for the New Year." ”
"True or fake?"
"Of course it's true! I think about it, hasn't he always been against me signing with Taiwan's brokerage company, and he yelled for me to terminate my contract with the company last year. Now that I've terminated my contract with the company, he can't even fight against it without even getting bloody, right? ”
The girl is really amazing, she doesn't even want to call her own father, one by one.
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right?" Wang Dalun hesitated.
"What's inappropriate? If he hadn't objected in the first place, I'd be too embarrassed to go home and ask him for money. Okay now, anyway, I've terminated the contract, so I can ask him for money with confidence, otherwise it's really cheap for him. Fan Ziyi said hatefully. (To be continued.) )
