This is certain, there is no need to doubt it at all, and only a person with a tendon like Jia Damin will easily believe Tian Laosi, at least Jia Zhangke will not believe it so easily.

Damin said at this time: "The fourth brother heard that you are here to shoot a movie, therefore, in such a situation, I hope you can give the traffic police a few shots, and he will come out to direct the traffic at that time, and it would be better if you could give a close-up of something." ”

Jia Zhangke knew that Tian Laosi would not be optimistic about helping himself for free, but think about it, there must be a street scene in the movie lens, which was originally talking about the affairs of the small city of Fenyang, and the bleak street scene of this place expresses the desolation of the inner world of the people of that era.

At this time, it is natural to use the traffic police on the street as a background board.

Therefore, Jia Zhangke nodded and said: "There is no problem with this, let Tian Laosi get ready, it may not be clear when the shooting will be taken, and I will tell him when the time comes." ”

Although a person like Captain Tian is the captain, but in such a situation, in fact, no matter what he says, at such a time, he is as eager to shoot a movie as Jia Zhangke.

In fact, his ambition is the same as Jia Zhangke, but the final result is that he does not have Jia Zhangke's persistence, Jia Zhangke was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, and she finally became the captain of the traffic police team.

But the love for movies has not been cut off at this time. Now that he has such a good opportunity to be in a movie, and he is starring in his true colors, he will not miss such an opportunity in such a thing.

After all, it's about such a problem. A lot of things are caused by ideals, and maybe this ideal is the kind buried deep in the heart. But what is actually the matter, if it is said that once an ideal of the hegemon is seduced. On a problem like this, the outburst is very strong.

Captain Tian was aroused by Jia Zhangke's movie to arouse his inner desire for movies, so this made Damin spread the word that he was participating in the filming with his own medicine.

Fortunately, Jia Zhangke thought that Mr. Tian's profession and movies were more compatible, so he decided to give him a role. Or to say that such a role is not a role in a trick, but a background actor.

But no matter what it is, it's an opportunity, and it's an opportunity that's hard to refuse, isn't it?

This time. Jia Zhangke thought for a while and said: "Damin, how is your song hall, I went to shoot last time, but I heard that someone is looking for trouble with you, if you can't solve it, tell me, and I'll help you solve it." ”

Xiao Wu's movie, but some of the shots are in the song hall, and Jia Zhangke's own family has a person who opens a song hall. This is the advantage of shooting a film in your hometown, and it doesn't have to be a situation where there will be a free backdrop to use.

Jia Damin said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, such a thing is actually not a big deal." Isn't it the bastard of Lao Qi, he can't afford to live with me at home, and now I have a song hall. He saw that the business was good and wanted to buy shares. As a result, I didn't agree, and that's why I made a feud with him. Now I've figured it out, I want to clean up this guy well, no matter what, I want to warn him, let him be careful, if it's to say that he knows each other, then I'll forget it, if it's that he really doesn't know each other, then don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Jia Damin is not a good stubble, he can open a song hall, in a place like Fenyang, it is not said that it can be done with money, and it can only be done if you are rich and powerful. Obviously, Jia Damin is such a person.

Jia Zhangke said noncommittally: "Look up and don't see what you look down, don't always be frizzy, think about it and do it again." ”

Obviously, he doesn't look down on Jia Damin's practice of beating and killing at every turn. But in such a situation, he is also very clear, a small city like this, if there is no military deterrence, then how to play a song hall, you can really open a song hall if you are rich, don't dream.

Therefore, Jia Zhangke has no objection to using some behind-the-scenes means.

At this time, Jia Zhangke introduced: "By the way, Luo Tian, let me introduce you, this Jia Damin, the brother of my own family, eats in the Song Hall in Fenyang." Damin, this is my junior brother, a top student in the film school, and the protagonist of this movie. ”

At this time, Jia Damin glanced at Luo Tian, and then said: "It's a replacement, right, in fact, I have long seen that the surname Wang is not pleasing to the eye." What the hell, chasing a woman by yourself at this critical time, or a woman who betrayed the crew, put herself in, deserve it, I think you should have changed people a long time ago. ”

Obviously, Jia Damin also knows this matter relatively clearly, this time Jia Zhang can be regarded as a waste of working for a long time, the key is to lose a lot of money. Jia Damin naturally thinks that the male and female protagonists should be held responsible.

Jia Zhangke had a gloomy face, obviously not very cold about such a thing, and said helplessly: "I have also thought about such a problem, therefore, the two leading actors, one is looking for my junior brother Luo Tian, and the other is to directly use the top brand Mei Mei of your song hall, at this time it is also a true performance, don't worry about acting skills." ”

This is an underground movie, therefore, the requirements for actors are not very high, if it is said that there are good acting skills, people may not be willing to come, the key is that there is less money. If you don't look for good acting skills, find someone who performs in your true colors, in fact, there is nothing you can't do.

None of Zhang Yimou's movies are missing, except for Zhang Ziyi and the male pig's foot, the rest are informal actors, and the same can be favored internationally, which is a matter of your luck.

Therefore, now Jia Zhangke is also very unhappy with the heroine, and directly wants to use the top card of a song hall.

At this time, Jia Damin shook his head and said: "Big brother, if you say it earlier, then there is nothing wrong with such a problem, but in such a situation." All I can say is sorry to you, Mei Mei is no longer in the song hall. It is said that he went to a big city, but he did not say where he went. The people in their line of work, almost all of them will change places after two years, and they always do it in one place, and it's impossible, isn't it? ”

Luo Tian also said on the side: "Senior brother, I think it's more appropriate to find a professional for this heroine, after all, you don't want to lose money completely in this movie, right?" ”

Jia Zhangke was stunned for a moment and said: "This is natural, it is impossible to release it in China, I am very clear about this." So in such a situation, I was going to take the film to the international market.

If I go to a film festival in Cannes, Venice, Berlin or something, I can make money by getting an award and sell it abroad, which is the only way out for my film. ”

The new director, who has no qualifications, who will believe that you will invest in you, this time. With the investment of the people in Hong Kong City, Jia Zhangke was not enough, and in the end, Luo Tian lent him money to use it to be able to persevere.

In Huaxia, I used to be a director. Only within the system, and within the system, whether the filmed film makes money or not basically has little to do with the director.

Movies make money. will not give the director an extra penny, lose money. There will be no deduction of money, anyway, the director is getting a salary. And now the environment is much more relaxed. But a newcomer like Jia Zhangke, who is not famous, naturally cannot get investment.

The only way to do this is to shoot underground films. This is also the helplessness of the sixth generation of directors. In fact, the sixth generation of directors also has a title in Huaxia, underground directors, and they basically started by shooting underground movies.

Basically, if the sixth generation director says that you don't have one or two movies banned by the General Administration, you are embarrassed to mix in this circle.

Jia Zhangke is such a person, his own Xiao Wu, in fact, he knew what the result was from the beginning. Speaking of it now, it's just a little sad.

Luo Tian comforted: "Take your time, there will always be a chance, and it would be good to have a movie." ”

This is the truth, and it is also the most common phrase used by film school students to comfort themselves.

In fact, although this sentence is true, it contains the philosophy of life. That's right, a film school graduate, it doesn't matter what you study, acting, directing, cinematography, screenwriting, or whatever. Anyway, in a situation like this, your starting point is higher than others.

In such a situation, if you still can't make achievements, then don't mix in the entertainment industry. As a student of film school, in fact, there are many people who change careers, and they can insist on mixing in the entertainment industry, no matter what they do, if they have a movie, this is a victory.

Therefore, at this time, compared to those film school students who have changed careers, there are people who make movies, which is already a very lucky thing.

In such a situation, Jia Zhangke also suddenly came to his senses and said: "Yes, at this time, we at least have a movie to shoot, with such an opportunity, at least it means that we are still one step closer to our dream."

We should be thankful for that. ”

Jia Zhangke actually insisted on it like this, whenever he couldn't hold on to it, he told himself like this that it was already very good to have a movie shooting.

One of his short films, which is not even a formal film, also starred Wang Hongwei, and it actually won a small award in Hong Kong City.

It was because of this award that he had the opportunity to find funds from Gangcheng to shoot Xiao Wu.

This is a kind of persistence generated by the love of movies. At this time, Jia Zhangke also cheered up and said: "Yes, at this time, we still have a movie to shoot, which is already a good result."

Otherwise, I don't know what to do about such a thing. There are almost 30 graduates in our class, which is the one that has persevered the most in the previous directing departments, but it has only been a few years, and now look at it, there are those who have changed careers to teach, those who have changed careers to do finance, and those who have changed careers to do real estate.

I'm still very lucky to be able to make movies at home. ”

This is indeed lucky, therefore, Jia Zhangke thinks that this is a chance for himself, even if this opportunity is a very slim road to success, but as long as there is such an opportunity, it is possible to achieve.

In such a thing, Jia Zhangke saw hope. And Jia Damin, a cousin who doesn't know how much Jia Zhangke serves, can't understand what Jia Zhangke means at all, the words are quite clear, but he can't understand what the meaning is.

But this does not prevent Jia Damin from one thing, that is, nonsense Jia Damin thinks that Jia Zhangke is the most capable of the old Jia family, and now the old Jia family can be looked down upon by people in Fenyang, isn't it because of Jia Zhangke, a director who can make movies?

In the eyes of people who laugh, in fact, a person can act in a movie, which is already very good. Only big stars can act in movies, and people like this are talents. And Jia Zhangke is even more amazing, making movies, this is even more talent.

Therefore, Lao Jia's family is in Fenyang, and now it is also the top scholarly door.

No matter how it is said, this matter was brought by Jia Zhangke, and Jia Damin thinks that Jia Zhangke is the most capable, even if he can't understand what Jia Zhangke is saying, it is his own problem, not Jia Zhangke's problem.

This is blind worship. The van soon arrived at a hotel, and at this moment Jia Zhangke got out of the car and took his luggage and said: "Luo Tian, now the crew is such a situation, you also know something, I won't say anything, so you think you can overcome it, go back and wait for us to make money, please have a good meal, which restaurant in the capital, which hotel, you just order it." ”

Some of his junior disciples came over to help, and when he saw that the conditions were not as good as those film and television bases in the suburbs of the capital, if he didn't give an explanation for this matter, who would play with him in the future.

Therefore, Jia Zhangke must explain, saying that he is in a difficult period now, he always has to deal with difficulties, the future is always good, and when he has money, please have a good meal together. Originally, he came to divide the sun, not to surrender.

Therefore, in such a situation, at this time, Luo Tian and the others actually have nothing to say, that is, they are here to make movies, not to enjoy, and it is not good to say more. (To be continued.) )
