Jiang Wen stared at the leaves swaying in the wind, closed his eyes and brewed emotions for about 2 minutes, when the cloudy sky suddenly fell and drizzle, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Listen to the rain quietly by the railing." ”

"Seven words, ......?" Huang Jianxing, the veteran director of Chinese film, immediately wilted, how could he dare to compare Jiang Wen with such a talented and arrogant artist, he can still think about five words, seven words is too long, raise his eyes and think about it for a long time.

"Hurry up~ Huang Lao, you are the pillar of our Zhongying, you have to give me advice~" Jiang Wen looked at the old naughty boy of Zhongying with a smile.

"You wait~ don't rush...... I'm pondering and pondering~" Huang Jianxing blew his beard and glared in protest, looking at the table full of dishes, and only after a few minutes did he stare at the plate of spicy shredded potatoes, and stammered: "Rely on the table...... Taste the layers of silk? After speaking, he also happily ate a mouthful of shredded potatoes, looking very proud.

Seeing Jiang Wen shaking his head and sighing again and again, Li Xiaole unconsciously laughed, this Huang Jianxing is really an old naughty boy, and this pair is too spoofed, and he also admires Jiang Wen's literary talent.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they all think that those who make movies and television are the same as street vendors, relying on professional skills to eat, but in fact, whether it is in the mainland or North America, the cultural attainments of this film and television industry are by no means imaginable by ordinary people, and they can be called all-rounders in almost all fields.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, a recognized genius in various fields of music, calligraphy, and painting, not to mention, even Jiang Wen, who is generally considered a bit "coarse" by the outside world, is a complete talent.

In the past, the Film Bureau once went to Tokyo to do a cultural exchange activity with the Japan Film Bureau, and many of the Japanese filmmakers who came to participate at that time had a high level of Chinese cultural literacy, including a director named Kinoshita, who was an expert in Tang poetry.

Several Japanese filmmakers were in high spirits at the exchange meeting, composing poems on the spot, and inviting Chinese counterparts to sing and harmonize, because the two talented directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige were not there in the circle at that time, and the people in the visiting group of the Film Bureau were dumbfounded.

Seeing that the China Film Bureau was about to lose face here, Jiang Wen, who was just a young actor at that time, stood up from the corner and calmly responded to his Japanese counterparts, which relieved the siege of Chinese filmmakers.

At that time, everyone was shocked to realize that this young actor in Chinese opera was deeply hidden, and Director Wang of the Western Film Studio was also amazed by Jiang Wen's talent that day, so he overrode public opinion and let the 32-year-old Jiang Wen play the 50-year-old Qin Shihuang in "Song of Qin".

In the industry, everyone knows that directing is a comprehensive art, if you focus on shooting, you will always be just second-rate, and if you want to go up, you need a higher level of cultural heritage.

Li Xiaole understood this truth, and he also made a lot of efforts in other aspects to broaden his knowledge, but there was no progress, but he had seen the pair that Jiang smelled, out of kindness, he dipped his fingers in wine, and secretly wrote a few words on the table in front of Huang Jianxing, Huang Jianxing immediately understood, and immediately shouted:

"Little Ginger ~ Little Ginger ~~ I thought about it again ~"

"Say it." Jiang Wentou didn't take a sip of wine, not expecting any good sentences from the old director to pop out.

"Through the window~~ beautiful squint." Huang Jianxing pretended to be deep.

"Do you read it again?" Jiang Wen looked back in surprise when he heard this.

"That's it...... The window is beautiful and squinting. Huang Jianxing was a little weak-hearted.

Jiang Wen walked over and looked into his eyes, Huang Jianxing immediately raised his hand in surrender, hahadaxiao: "Okay~ Xiao Jiang, I was wrong, this was all taught to me by Director Xiao Li." Pointing at Li Xiaole.

"Xiao Li?" Jiang Wen looked back at Li Xiaole strangely this time, and stared into Li Xiaole's eyes with his domineering eyes: "You came up with this word temporarily?" ”

"Well, it's nonsense, I used to read books and look at things like that." Li Xiaole is not modest, how can he have this level, but he has read all of Jiang Wen's books, and he has read this pair in a Jiang Wen's book "Long Sky Over the Great Clouds".

He used to talk to Jiang Wen, the crew of "The Sun Also Rises", and knew that Jiang Wen liked poetry, and he also admired those who could write ancient poems.

Those who are familiar with Jiang Wen know that he is a wild and uninhibited person, so crazy that he despises most of his peers, once after he got drunk, he gave himself a self-evaluation: "I am a first-class poet, a second-rate director, and a third-rate actor~"

He is recognized as one of the best acting skills in the mainland, and he also calls himself a third-rate, it is conceivable that in his mind, his talent for directing and writing poetry is geometric, and within one day, Li Xiaole can wrestle with him in the two areas he is most proud of, which gives Jiang Wen a huge shock.

"I see." Jiang Wen saw that Li Xiaole's eyes were not flustered at all, and he knew that he was not lying, so he couldn't help but hahadaxiao, and hugged his shoulders hard and said:

"Xiao Li~ I see that you have a good knowledge, I heard that you made a fairly good movie in South Korea, so let's do it~ I don't have enough manpower for this new film, why don't you help me be an assistant director, I just lack an experienced person here."

Jiang Wen actually wants to make himself an assistant director? When Li Xiaole heard this, he suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy, this was something he had dreamed of for a long time in his previous life, but after thinking about it, he immediately thought of the actual problem.

To say that the "The Sun Also Rises" that he is about to shoot is extremely exciting, and the artistic standard is super first-class among mainland films, but it is almost completely inconsistent with the aesthetics of ordinary audiences, and the box office can be said to be a fiasco.

"Teacher Jiang, I'm afraid this won't work......" Li Xiaole thought about his position clearly, but he could only sigh and refuse, and felt very sorry in his heart.

"What do you mean? You're disgusted with my movies. When Jiang Wen heard this answer, his voice immediately became deep, he old Jiang wants to make a movie, not to mention Beijing Film Studio, but the entire China Film Group doesn't know how many people want to join his crew, you kid is not rare? It's really a big one.

"I actually want to learn from you very much in my heart, but the story you just told me, I think ordinary audiences must be unacceptable, from the perspective of market rules, I am afraid that the box office will not meet expectations." Li Xiaole told the truth.

"Not up to expectations?" Jiang Wen immediately woke up half of the wine when he heard this, he squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xiaole, the arrogant momentum appeared immediately, and the noisy old naughty boy Huang Jianxing stopped talking, looking at the two of them a little nervously, daring to say this in front of Jiang Wen, these two people don't want to fight.

Li Xiaole couldn't help but sweat in his nervous palms, but he understood that now was the best time for him to impress Jiang Wen.

Zhang Yimou once commented on Jiang Wen:

"He's very good at acting, he's very smart, he's very thoughtful, he's very capable. And I think he definitely wants to be a good director, he has such a heart. He's just a guy who wants to be a commander, not a soldier. His heart is high, he has this ability, and he wants to surpass anyone else. My opinion is that if he doesn't say it, he may feel that Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jia Zhangke, and Lu Chuan are nothing. He is really a man whose heart is higher than the sky. I think in his bones he must want to surpass contemporary Chinese directors, he is better than these people. He really thought so, but he didn't admit it.

Li Xiaole knows that Jiang Wen at this stage is not at all controllable by a young director like him, to put it simply, Jiang Wen is really in the period of self-expansion at present, and he can't even look down on a master like Zhang Yimou in his heart, let alone a small person like him Li Xiaole.

Compared with business, Jiang Wen's filming of "Sunny Day" in 95 won 10 million viewers in China, more than double that of his "Color is Empty".

Compared with art, Jiang Wen's debut film swept the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, and also praised 17-year-old Xia Yu as the youngest Venice actor in history, and the second work, "The Devil is Coming", which has not been released so far, also won the Cannes Jury Award.

Of course, Jiang Wen should look down on himself, Li Xiaole knows in his heart that now is his opportunity, and he must let Jiang Wen realize that he, Li Xiaole, as a director, is more powerful than him Jiang Wen in some aspects.

"Yes, I don't think this movie will recoup the investment." Li Xiaole suddenly put away his smile, calmly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Have you seen my movie?" Jiang Wen suddenly laughed, as if he had heard the funniest thing on Shijie.

"I've seen it, the recent "The Devil is Coming" is very exciting, but it's not perfect." Li Xiaole knows that if you want to shake a person, you have to hit the part he values most, although Jiang Wen's first "Sunny Day" was a box office hit, he once admitted in an interview that he felt that there was a lot of room for improvement in this debut film.

And "The Devil is Coming", which invested 20 million, was banned by the Film Bureau, Jiang Wen confirmed that he was the most beautiful and perfect movie he made, because the movie that could not be released would not be criticized, and the film industry applauded, and even those who didn't like Jiang Wen were also aggrieved by him.

The lack of criticism, coupled with the fact that it was not released, became a flawed beauty, and then was evaluated as "perfect", which made Jiang Wen himself believe that "The Devil is Coming", which is known as a classic of a generation of black and white movies, is his pinnacle work.

How would he react when something in his heart that he was proud of was pointed out as a flaw?
