Chapter 82: Brother Mou's Ideals
Eight o'clock in the evening. The warm evening breeze is blowing.
Zhang Shaojie also ended this dinner.
The communication with Zhang Xiaoxian's parents is relatively pleasant, but this future talented girl is still a little naughty and expresses hostility to Zhang Shaojie from time to time.
But beating a girl is very simple, just win the girl's parents!
Zhang Xiaoxian is unlucky!
Her parents are fans of Zhang Shaojie.
Moreover, her father is also a die-hard fan of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". If it weren't for the family, it is estimated that the old man would have put on a cos costume and played role-playing.
"Shaojie, come often when you have time!" Xiaoxian's parents sent Zhang Shaojie to the parking lot.
After Zhang Shaojie got in the car, he smiled and said, "It must be!" ”
Xiaoxian's father said: ""The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" must continue to work hard! ”
"Of course!"
"If the plot is not well written later, I will make you realize the anger of fans of "The Tang Dynasty"!"
Zhang Shaojie was speechless.
For Zhang Shaojie because he wrote a broken book, he also gained such support, Zhang Xiaoxian was extremely dissatisfied!
Zhang Xiaoxian raised her middle finger and seemed to say, "Sooner or later, it will make you ugly!" ”
In the face of provocation, Zhang Shaojie was naturally shocked: "Who is afraid of whom!" ”
Leaving Zhang Xiaoxian's home, the sky was completely dark.
Because he hit someone before, although Zhang Xiaoxian was not injured in any way, Zhang Shaojie was still very careful and drove slowly.
It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that he returned home.
"Brother, you're back! There's also some broth in the fridge that you can eat with a hot one! Shaohuai said.
"Hehe, I've already eaten out." Zhang Shaojie said, "It's not early now, go to bed early." ”
Shaohuai said: "I will go to bed at ten o'clock." ”
Zhang Shaojie returned home, his younger brother Shaohuai, and his sworn brother Zhang Yimou. One is fighting his homework, and the other is preparing for the crew's affairs.
Zhang Yimou, an older young man, entered the film and television industry as a talented photographer.
At present, Zhang Yimou, who has not undergone work training, although he has talents related to photography and art, there is still a certain gap from the level of director.
However, Zhang Yimou's diligence and hard work make him definitely unwilling to become a foil for great directors just as a photographer.
"Brother Mou, how is it? How did the internship at Golden Harvest feel during this period of time? Zhang Shaojie said.
Zhang Yimou smiled: "The work is very intense, but also very fulfilling!" The progress of film shooting in Hong Kong is so fast that there is no time to prepare according to the knowledge in the textbook. Because the speed is too fast, the potential and imagination of everyone in the film crew have to be brought into play. ”
Zhang Shaojie smiled: "After graduation, how about coming to work in Hong Kong?" ”
Zhang Yimou shook his head and said with a smile: "If it was me before, I might have agreed." However, during this time, you and I talked a lot about the film industry. It made me realize that Hong Kong and Hollywood can make a lot of good movies, and this is not just a superficial problem of directors and actors, but the gap between the entire film industry! Now that I know the gap between the development of domestic films and the film industry in developed regions, there is still a gap. Then, working hard and changing bit by bit to make the domestic film industry stronger from the bottom of our bones is the goal of our generation of young filmmakers."
Zhang Shaojie said: "However, when making movies in the mainland, there is a gap in manpower and material resources, and it is more difficult to gain a lot of work experience to exercise your ability!" In those state-owned studios in the mainland, how many films can be made a year, and how much practice can be gained? In Hong Kong, four or five hundred films are shot a year, most of which cost more than four or five hundred thousand dollars, and the shooting cost of films of large companies is often one million Hong Kong dollars. This is completely different from the cost of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan in mainland film studios! ”
Zhang Yimou smiled: "Okay! Shaojie, I know your kindness! If you work hard in Hong Kong, the salary may be much higher! Film workers in the mainland can only earn a salary of a few hundred yuan a year! Hong Kong directors can make some movies casually, and they can pay tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dividends! However, if the students in the Yenching Film Academy have learned the techniques of film shooting and have gone to developed areas like Hong Kong and Hollywood to develop, what will happen to the domestic film industry? Who will develop? Is it really to let first-class talents go overseas and second-rate talents stay at home? ”
When Zhang Shaojie heard this, he was a little awe-inspired.
Originally, Zhang Shaojie just admired Zhang Yimou's talent as a film director, but now after knowing his ideals, he realized that Zhang Yimou's early films were constantly able to win awards at the International Film Art Festival, which is not only Zhang Yimou's talent, but more importantly, this generation of filmmakers has a love for the domestic film industry!
True patriotism is not about saying a few slogans such as "Come on the motherland", "I love the motherland", "I am proud of the motherland".
It's about doing a good job in China, a director can make good movies, promote the culture of his country, earn box office, and promote the development of his country's film industry, which is the most patriotic performance!
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yimou saw Zhang Shaojie silent for a long time and asked.
"Nothing! I just feel that Brother Mou, your ideal is very ambitious! Zhang Shaojie said with a smile.
Zhang Yimou still wants to be like in his previous life, and has made up his mind to develop in the mainland.
However, Zhang Shaojie knows that there are still many opportunities for cooperation.
In fact, in the 80s, due to the lack of talents in the film and television industry and the lack of experience in film and television production in the mainland, it became a trend for mainland filmmakers to learn Hong Kong films.
Most of the more famous filmmakers in the mainland have been working with the Hong Kong film industry since the 80s.
For example, in the late 80s, Hong Kong director Cheng Xiaodong's "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", Zhang Yimou participated as the leading actor.
Since then, Zhang Yimou's cooperation with Hong Kong filmmakers has also been very frequent. Later, in the mainland's first all-star film special effects blockbuster "Hero" and "Ambush" directed by Zhang Yimou, a large number of Hong Kong film and television stars were also recruited to star.
In fact, compared to the number of films made by Hong Kong directors, the number of films shot by Zhang Yimou is actually very small.
However, most of Zhang Yimou's movies, especially the early Zhang Yimou movies, are basically because of their good reputation and can become popular with some superstars.
Zhang Shaojie is optimistic about Zhang Yimou, also because Zhang Yimou is not only a good movie, but also has the ability to create superstars and make superstars popular!
Now, with Zhang Shaojie's support, Zhang Yimou can go further than in history
