Chapter 45: Hu Runjun
"What did you say, let me go and see that Hu Runjun?" On the second floor of the Yixun Media Building, Luo Dong is directing the crew to sort out all kinds of equipment needed for filming. After Chen Shaokun joined, the crew www.biquge.info of "Dragon Gate Inn" was completely formed, and there happened to be good news from Dunhuang, and the staff who had passed in advance had found a suitable filming location, so Luo Dong and a few people quickly rushed back to Yixun Media, ready to gather the crew, and rushed to Dunhuang early tomorrow morning.
Luo Nan took Lin Qianxi to prepare the actor's contract, and Luo Dong and Yi Zhenfeng packed up their tools on the second floor and gathered the staff by the way, but Yi Zhenfeng was obviously a little absent-minded, and after a while, he proposed to Luo Dong to let him meet Hu Runjun.
"Old man Hu told me yesterday, saying that he wanted to meet you, I originally wanted to drag it first, but now the crew has been set up, and we will leave for Dunhuang tomorrow, so ......" Yi Zhenfeng was actually a little hesitant, he didn't know why Hu Runjun wanted to find Luodong, he mentioned to the other party when he went to Hu Runjun to discuss the explanation, since his movie could not be released on time, then he left the opportunity to Luodong's "Dragon Gate Inn", Hu Runjun was not dissatisfied, but just proposed to meet Luodong, but Yi Zhenfeng asked him what he was going to do, The old stubbornness didn't say anything, which made Yi Zhenfeng feel very bottomless in his heart.
"Well, it's good to see you." Luo Dong thought about it and agreed to Yi Zhenfeng's proposal, anyway, he also wanted to meet this legendary 'old stubborn', who can call the gold lord at will, is always a little different from ordinary people.
"But brother-in-law, I always feel that you are too accommodating to that Director Hu, no matter what, you are his investor after all, and you are the producer."
"It's a little, haha." Yi Zhenfeng smiled, but there was not much dissatisfaction in his expression, "That old stubborn...... I grew up watching his movies, "Midwinter Town", "Tomorrow Sunny", "Off the Clip", ...... I've seen all the movies he made, some are good and some are bad, but whether it's good or bad, in today's Ming film industry, which is more and more pursuing special effects and big scenes, there are really not many directors who can really insist on using movies to make people understand life, old and stubborn, he is the most stubborn one. ”
"It was he who created the glory of Kunlun Pictures, but when Kunlun Pictures stood at the peak of the film industry, they gave up on the old man, just because they thought that the old man could not keep up with the times." Yi Zhenfeng's face was a little lonely, because of Hu Runjun's experience, and because of the end of a film era, "I can clearly see the impact of technological innovation on movies, and I can also understand modern people's pursuit of higher quality films, but this does not mean that I have to give up the movies that once moved me the most, maybe for this era, they have fallen behind, but for those who like them, it is that kind of taste, which no one can replace......
Yi Zhenfeng suddenly felt something wrong as he spoke, and looked at Luo Dong looking at himself blankly, and couldn't help but laugh embarrassedly, "It's off topic when I talk about it, I'm sorry, let's go, since you want to see it, take advantage of it now, it just so happens that there is a night show today." ”
"Okay, let's go."
――――――――――――――
Tongmen Film and Television City, which is located in the northern suburbs of Shangjing City, a huge film and television base, in Luodong's view, this film and television base is actually similar to the Hengdian Film and Television Base in the previous world, the only difference is that the area of Tongmen Film and Television City is nearly three times that of Hengdian Film and Television City, after all, it is the largest film and television base in the Ming Kingdom, and it is understandable to have such an area.
The location of the crew of "Zhu Yuanzhang" is the 'Daming Palace' in the east of the film and television city, which occupies one-fifth of the area of the entire film and television city, and is the largest building complex in the Tongmen Film and Television City.
When Yi Zhenfeng and Luo Dong came here, it happened that the crew had finished filming, everyone was packing their own things, and the person the two were looking for, Hu Runjun, was sitting in the director's chair, flipping through the script.
Seeing Yi Zhenfeng's arrival, the crew all greeted him one after another, and after a return salute, Yi Zhenfeng took Luo Dong to Hu Runjun's side, and then Luo Dong really saw this old stubborn who made his brother-in-law 'hate and love'.
This is a mentally healthy old man, with a large bald head, three deep wrinkles on his forehead, and a pair of white-framed eyes above his bright eyes, and his gaze is resting on the script in his hand for a moment.
Yi Zhenfeng and Luo Dong stood next to Hu Runjun, and they didn't bother silently, just watching him immerse themselves in the script, five minutes later, Hu Runjun suddenly spoke, and a low but powerful voice sounded in the ears of the two, "Xiao Fengzi, go make me a pot of tea, Yu Maofeng, go and come back quickly." ”
"Yu Maofeng......" Yi Zhenfeng flattened his mouth, and wanted to ask his assistant, but in the end he swallowed it and went to the side.
After Yi Zhenfeng left, Hu Runjun put down the script in his hand, then took off his glasses and put them aside, and looked up at Luo Dong.
This is a serious person, after seeing Hu Runjun's full picture, Luo Dong's heart unconsciously jumped out of such a thought.
Bowing slightly to Hu Runjun, Luo Dong introduced himself: "Director Hu, hello, I'm Luo Dong." ”
"Well, sit down." Hu Runjun looked at Luo Dong for a while, then pointed to a chair next to him, and Luo Dong sat down obediently.
"I've read your script, it's very professional." Face to face with Luo Dong, Hu Runjun didn't have too much expression on his face, and then said: "Later, Xiao Fengzi brought your storyboard manuscript again, I must admit that I was shocked by your manuscript. ”
"In terms of level, there are some directors in this circle who can draw a manuscript like yours, including me, and I can do it, but we will not do it, because when the drawing level of the manuscript reaches a certain level, it is not very useful and troublesome to improve."
"As for your script and manuscript, I would like to believe that you are not a waste who can only talk on paper, but a novice who can make a difference."
"Xiao Fengzi has my phone number over there, if your shooting process is not going well, you can call me, and I will help you."
"If you have a question now, you can ask now, I still have some time." After speaking, Hu Runjun leaned back on the chair and waited for Luo Dong's question.
Well, Luo Dong felt a little embarrassed, although what Hu Runjun said was basically his identity, but he still felt ...... It's kind of weird.
As for the problem, it's not that Luo Dong is boasting, he really doesn't have any problems, because he already has Xu Ke's complete experience memory, and it's really difficult for Luo Dong to have a mere "Dragon Gate Inn".
However, it is obvious that Hu Runjun will not speak if he doesn't ask, or he may have to send off the guest directly, so after thinking about it, Luo Dong still asked a question in his heart.
"Director Hu, "Zhu Yuanzhang" is a work that Yixun Film and Television needs to submit in the celebration month, why do you suddenly want to extend the filming period?"
"Huh?" Hu Runjun's brows suddenly furrowed, obviously, he was a little unhappy about Luo Dong's question.
"That's the question you're asking? Your crew, your films, what do you think you can handle on your own? ”
"Yes, Director Hu, maybe I asked you this way and made you feel uncomfortable, but I still hope to get an answer from you, as for the crew and the movie, I believe I can handle it."
"Humph!" Hu Runjun snorted, and then fell into silence, Luo Dong didn't say much when he saw this, and waited quietly.
After a few minutes, Hu Runjun slowly spoke: "Since you asked, then I will tell you, you listen ......"
Hu Runjun leaned back in his chair and looked at the sky, looking a little lonely.
"I was kicked out by Kunlun Pictures, because the movies I made were no longer the most profitable movies."
"And I'm still notoriously stubborn, as long as I'm sitting in the director's chair, no one can sway my will."
"After leaving Kunlun, that stinky boy came to me and grinded at my door for half a month, hoping that I could join his Yixun Film and Television, he said, I can shoot whatever I want, and he will never interfere."
"Hmph, that stinky boy, you still say that you will never interfere, but the first movie asked me to make "Zhu Yuanzhang", this kind of film ......"
"I didn't agree to join Yi Xun, but I just agreed to help him shoot "Zhu Yuanzhang", because I know very well that we old guys are indeed time to retire."
"It's just that I'm still a little unwilling, or ...... I can't bear this chair......"
"After leaving Kunlun, I thought I would never have the chance to sit on this chair again, but I didn't expect that stinky boy to come......"
"But I'm still scared after all, even if I promise him, maybe one day, I will leave Yi Xun like when I left Kunlun......"
"Extending the filming period is my last gamble, and if that stinky boy tolerates me, then I will naturally hand in the finished film before the celebration month, and I won't make it difficult for him."
"But didn't you delete some of the footage you took before?" Luo Dong asked in amazement.
"Believe what I say."
"Well, what if he doesn't tolerate it?"
"I'm still going to finish the film and let it be released on the celebration month, but after this shooting, I'm really going to retire, raise fish, grow flowers, learn from my old buddies, and enjoy life......
Luo Dong was silent, this is an old man who has been betrayed and hurt, he doesn't dare to trust others anymore, so he can only use this way to protect himself, maybe a little extreme, but Luo Dong unexpectedly felt that he could understand.
"Since you are confident in your own strength, then go and shoot it, and when your movie is finished, bring it back to me to see, I say okay, then you can take your work to participate in the celebration month."
"What if...... Don't you think so? ”
"Then remake, it's enough to have "Zhu Yuanzhang" in the celebration month."
Luo Dong woke up at this time, when Yi Zhenfeng tolerated Hu Runjun's 'nonsense', this old man already saw himself as a part of Yi Xun Film and Television, so he said this.
"Okay, let's go, don't disturb the old man to read the script."
Hu Runjun gave the eviction order, Luo Dong stood up from the chair, looked down at the old man who had put his eyes on again, Luo Dong bowed to him again, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Director Hu." ”
Turning to leave, Luo Dong saw Yi Zhenfeng holding a teapot and teacup not far away, I don't know if it was a light problem, Luo Dong felt that his brother-in-law's eyes seemed to be a little red.
Walking past Yi Zhenfeng with a smile, Luo Dong said softly: "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, brother-in-law, congratulations." ”
