Chapter 184 Scene 184 There is someone behind us
Yan Fusheng, who was stunned by everyone and had never raised his eyes to look at them, suddenly raised his head when he heard this, looked at Li Xiaole strangely, and then turned his head to look at Han Sanpin meaningfully:
"Director Han, the person you picked this time is quite good, Director Li is more conscious than the previous Lu Chuan."
Han Sanpin smiled modestly and said, "Where, this time is my second producer's mistake, and I take all the responsibility." ”
"Urge them to change their books, at least toss a work at the end of the year, so that the second production will not be busy all year round." Yan Fusheng got up with a calm face, and then left with a group of leaders.
It wasn't until everyone else had left that Ning Hao's eyes began to redden, and Li Xiaole let go of his hand and let him sit on the sofa, and he also let out a sigh of relief, suppressing the anger surging in his heart.
"Do you feel wronged?" Han Sanpin personally poured them two cups of tea, and handed them one cup each.
"No grievances, what's the grievances, I'm a fucking deflated guy who writes erotic and violent scripts." Ning Hao said angrily with red eyes.
Han Sanpin did smile, looked at Li Xiaole with a calm face, showed an expression of appreciation, and patted him on the shoulder: "Director Xiao Li, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
"I don't have anything to say, I'll leave everything to you, Mr. Han, since I was invited by you, why should I worry about these audit matters." Li Xiaole's eyes narrowed into a line and looked at Han Sanpindao.
Ning Hao can't understand, Li Xiaole's heart is indeed like a mirror, this system is used to make movies in China, it doesn't mean that you are a cow director and you can shoot whatever you want, there is a set of high standards for the film and television industry in China, and you must guide the values of the general public from the most positive perspective.
This matter may make filmmakers feel constrained and uncomfortable from the perspective of film art, but Li Xiaole understands that from the perspective of the health of the whole society, it is absolutely correct, no matter what the theme of the movie is, tragedy, comedy, horror film, or historical drama, the final ending should be to punish evil and promote good, so that the people can feel comfortable when they look at it.
Otherwise, it's like filming the "Crazy Boy" series in Hong Kong, or some horror films in the United States such as "The Grim Reaper is Coming", and even those small movies in Japan, all of which attract the audience by highlighting the gray side of human nature, from beginning to end, Chen Haonan of "Crazy Boy" is very cool, making people mistakenly think that it is cool to become a Crazy Boy, many young people are proud to be a bully, the protagonist of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" has gone through all the hardships and hardships, and still can't escape the clutches of the Grim Reaper, and after watching the movie, it still gives people an infinite sense of fear and despair......
It can be said that these films amplify the gray side of human nature, this genre is also the so-called leftist films, their standard is to vent violence and sex, oppose faith, they pursue cool! That's how cruel real life is! That's art.
These leftist movies may be enjoyable and refreshing when watched, but in all fairness, this has a negative impact on the public psyche.
The cultural policy of the mainland is that this kind of film is not allowed to be released, you can make it, but it must not be released in theaters, you can only entertain yourself, if you want to make a public movie, you can only shoot: "Punish evil and promote good, cherish the family, have faith, and after watching it, you must give people more hope for life, and let people muster up more courage to improve their reality." ”
All systems have pros and cons, and as long as everyone respects the rules of the game, there will be no big problem.
The real question is, what is a leftist film and what is a rightist film? It's a blurred line.
Even the most scary horror film, as long as you sort out the cause and effect, and then look at people with the ending of punishing evil and promoting good, it is also a mainstream rightist movie.
This judgment is completely subjective, and the person who approves the film has too much power, which is prone to different deviations, which causes the human factor to become the most critical in the approval.
Li Xiaole understands that "Crazy Stone" is definitely a typical rightist film that punishes evil and promotes good, but if the person who approves it says that he is a leftist movie, then he has nothing to do, this is the reality of the mainland film industry.
I think that when Feng Xiaogang's "A Sigh" was filmed halfway through in 96, it was also stopped by the Film Bureau, and then four years later, the Film Bureau passed the approval and was successfully released.
Today's incident, on the surface, it seems that the Film Bureau rejected their book, but in fact, from the attitude of Shanghan Sanpin, Li Xiaole is completely aware that this incident was caused by the power struggle within the film group.
For example, Yan Fusheng, who was the first studio, stumbled Han Sanpin, who was a competitor, so that the films of his second production could not get the group's investment, so all the investment would fall to the first studio.
But Li Xiaole understands that if Han Sanpin is really suppressed by Yan Fusheng, then he should talk to himself privately and comfort him to wait for the next opportunity, it is impossible to read him a letter from the Film Bureau in public today.
According to the secretary Xiao Wang, these small people in the market, now Zhongying is like a dynasty, the old man Xie Yang, who is about to retire, is the emperor, Han Sanpin is the prince who is about to ascend the throne, Yan Jie, Yan Fusheng, father and son are ministers who support their lives, and they also want to be in power, and the two factions are fighting to the death.
The final outcome of history is naturally that the now weak Han Sanpin won the struggle.
Today, Han Sanpin did this for two purposes, the first was to show the enemy weakness in front of Yan Fusheng and paralyze the other party.
Second, it is nothing more than taking this opportunity to test yourself, if you want to make a movie in China, what you need is a certain amount of political wisdom, if you are a stunned young man, no matter how talented you are, you can only be a niche art film director like Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai, and you can't become a front-line figure leading the wave of Chinese films.
This is the state-owned enterprise leaders are accustomed to manipulating people, before they want to send you a big project, they will definitely suppress you to the bottom, and then see if you are the material for a big responsibility, if you survive this hurdle, then he will fish you up from the bottom, then in the future you will also remember the leadership of this great kindness, the leader will be good to manage you, Li Xiaole is clear, so he is not panicked at all.
When Han Sanpin heard Li Xiaole's "I will leave everything to Mr. Han and you", the stone in his heart finally landed, and his doubts about Li Xiaole were finally relieved, and he smiled in a good mood:
"Director Xiao Li, when I read the same letter to Feng Xiaogang back then, he slapped the table for me, you are like this, it really impresses me." After speaking, he waved his hand:
"Okay, I've wronged you today, go back and have a good rest, and wait for news from the group."
As soon as Li Xiaole and Ning Hao walked out of the door, Ning Hao couldn't hold it anymore, sat on the staircase, wiped his tears, his fists were about to crush, and he cried like a child, crying for about five minutes, Ning Hao wiped his tears, stood up again, his face returned to his usual wilted and drooping appearance, gritted his teeth and asked Li Xiaole:
"Director Li, you say, how do we change the book, as long as you say it, even if I don't eat or drink, I have to change it within a week."
"Change the book?" Li Xiaole leaned against the wall and looked at the nervous Ning Hao with a smile: "We have no problem with the book." ”
"But doesn't the bureau talk about violence and pornography?" Ning Hao's face was bitter, so he didn't know why he was authentic.
"Let's go, just go back and wait for news, have a drink today and have a good rest." Li Xiaole smiled and hugged Ning Hao downstairs, looking like he was drunk today, thinking that Mr. Han had said: "Go back and have a good rest, wait for the news of the group." "Where is there a word to change the script?
Wait a minute, although Han Sanye has not officially ascended the throne as the emperor now, but he, the crown prince, is also a figure with good hands and eyes, so what is it to be a mere Yan Fusheng.
***
The next morning, as soon as Li Xiaole entered the office, he was frightened by Xiao Wang's shout.
"Deputy Director Ning, what's wrong with your hair?"
"What's wrong?" Ning Hao, who had deep dark circles under his eyes, looked puzzled.
Li Xiaole walked up to Ning Hao, who still had the smell of alcohol, and hurriedly handed him the small mirror on the office table, Ning Hao saw from the mirror that the right side of his head revealed a flesh-colored scalp the size of a thumb, and the hair on it went somewhere.
Ning Hao touched his bare scalp, but his eyes bulged out disapprenorely: "What do you think it is...... Isn't it just a loss of hair? He continued to lie on his desk, rewriting the script, but his mouth was muttering as if he was reciting the Buddha's name, as if this would calm his mood.
"This is a ghost shaving his head......" Several small employees of the second producer next to him exclaimed together, all heard about what happened yesterday, and muttered: "I think these two are under too much pressure, I'm afraid that they won't stay in us for long." "Xiao Wang, you whisper so that Director Xiao Li doesn't hear it, alas...... I thought they could at least make a movie...... Alas. ”
Li Xiaole can understand Ning Hao very well, his dream in this life is to make a movie of his own, and now he is almost a breath away, and suddenly the Film Bureau is pouring a basin of cold water on his head, he can't help but shudder, thinking that he was not like this back then, he was stunned and didn't know how many nails he touched, so he found a little way.
But this period of time is also considered to be idle, although the book did not pass, but there is good news, yesterday Lei Ting told him that Xu Zheng and Lian Jin had agreed to their request, and Lei Ting had gone to them to sign a contract in person.
The smooth process of recruiting actors is surprising, but in Li Xiaole's expectations, the Internet is not yet developed in China, and the online recruitment of screenwriters in the Republic of Screenwriters is nothing, although Xu Zheng and Huang Bo and others are second-tier and third-tier actors, but the most important thing that can attract them is the charm of the script itself.
