After getting along for so long, Chen Ge now knows Hou Xiaonan's thoughts clearly, and he knows that he wants to be crooked again by looking at her appearance, "It's a man, in his fifties, so he is called uncle." ”

Mu Hai was more concerned about why the manager here knew Chen Ge, and seemed to have a respectful attitude towards Chen Ge, "Chen Ge, it seems that you are a frequent visitor here, even the manager is so familiar." ”

Chen Ge smiled: "Not a regular visitor. ”

Hou Xiaonan interjected: "Could it be that this family is also the Li family's industry?" ”

"On this street, from this bar to the east, it is the property of the Li family."

Muhai asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Hou Xiaonan said with a smile: "Chen Ge is the person in charge of the Li family in Wangjiao. ”

Mu Hai was surprised: "It turns out that Chen Ge is a member of the Li family?" ”

"Hmm."

After getting Chen Ge's affirmation, Mu Hai understood why Lu Liang took so much care of Chen Ge at the beginning, "Why have I never heard of you." ”

Chen Ge smiled and said, "I'm just a part-time worker in the Li family, so it makes no difference whether I say it or not." ”

Mu Hai really admires this young man's mentality, he can say the identity of the Li family's regional decision-maker so lightly, with an indifferent look, it is impossible for him not to know the status of the Li family in Xiangjiang, I believe that as long as he tells his identity, the director of Xiangjiang Jiucheng is willing to give him a role.

Chen Ru asked at this time, "Do you have any intention of cooperating with me?" ”

Chen Ru's question was more abrupt, and Chen Ge didn't know for a while, so he looked at Mu Hai.

Mu Hai looked at Chen Ru and sighed in his heart, the young man couldn't hold his breath, Mu Hai explained: "Huanhuan came to Xiangjiang this time, the main thing is to bring some artists from Xiangjiang back to the mainland for development. Huanhuan is one of the directors of Huanrui Entertainment. ”

Chen Ru's identity was revealed, and Chen Ge finally understood why Chen Ru was able to stand out in front of many girls.

Chen Ge once saw this Huanrui Entertainment on Netyi News, and it is said that there are many first-line artists offline, no wonder Mu Hai said that Chen Ru's strength in speaking in this circle was top-notch before he came.

It's just that Chen Ge looked at the news and said that Huanrui Entertainment seems to have had some crisis recently.

Just when the atmosphere at the table was a little too strict, the manager came over with two bottles of red wine, "Brother Chen, this is the best ARRASA we have here, and Uncle Li asked me to send it over." ”

Chen Ge asked, "Uncle Li is also here?" ”

The manager turned around and pointed somewhere, and Chen Ge really saw Li Shu holding red wine over there.

The two glanced at each other, Li Shu held the wine glass upwards and signaled Chen Ge not to worry about himself, Chen Ge nodded.

Chen Ge opened the red wine, poured a little for each of the four glasses on the table, and picked up the glasses to signal Chen Ru to a glass.

Chen Ru picked up the cup and touched it lightly with Chen Ge.

The two of them each took a small sip, Chen Ru tilted his head slightly as if tasting the wine, and after a few seconds, he said: "The color is jujube red, the wine taste is strong and powerful, and the lips and teeth are fragrant." It has a very strong floral and fruity aroma of red currants, as well as a clear iron taste, and a very strong acidity on the palate, very wild, it should be an orthodox Lafite treasure, and the vintage should be between three and five years. ”

Chen Ge picked up the red wine bottle, looked at it and praised: "That's right, it seems that you are also a master in red wine." Seeing that you are about the same age as me, I didn't expect to be a director of Huanrui Entertainment, which was a young and promising heroine in ancient times. ”

Chen Ru laughed at herself: "It's not a heroine, it's just that I can't help it if I am forced to do this." ”

"Looks like you're a man with a lot of stories."

"For decades, who hasn't had a story. How about it, as I just said, are you willing to join Huan Rui? ”

This was the second time Chen Ru had mentioned this matter, and there was no skill to speak of, and Chen Ge almost suspected that she was a novice at the negotiation table.

Chen Ge thought for a while and said: "Making movies in Xiangjiang is more suitable for the development of artists than the mainland, you should understand." ”

"I know what you mean, however, although the investment and influence of Xiangjiang Films are far greater than those of the mainland, in terms of improving popularity, Xiangjiang's TV series and movies are far inferior to the mainland, and our Huanrui Entertainment also has a great influence in Xiangjiang, and many famous first-line movie stars are our Huan Entertainment's artists, you can ask Xiao Nan about this."

"Ask her?" Chen Ge looked at Hou Xiaonan.

Hou Xiaonan finally explained the identity of his parents, "My father's name is Hou Jinghai, and my mother's name is Zhou Yuting." ”

Some small problems hidden in Chen Ge's heart have finally been solved, Hou Jinghai and Zhou Yuting, who are among the most influential artists in Xiangjiang, seem to be developing towards Hollywood in recent years.

Chen Ge said: "This cannot be used as a reason to persuade me to go to the mainland. ”

"I understand." Chen Ru handed Chen Ge a business card, "When you are interested, you can contact me, you are the first artist I have seen in Xiangjiang." ”

"The first one? I wonder why you think I'm suitable to go to the mainland, and I don't think the pastor would talk about me in front of you for no reason. ”

"There are several reasons, the first is that your appearance condition is very good, in recent years, the domestic film and television industry has been invaded by the Korean Wave, especially Korean TV dramas, in this regard, the school can see that the popularity of Korean artists is even simpler than that of domestic artists. With your image far beyond them, as long as you are packaged a little, it is enough to become the leader of the new generation of domestic artists. The second is that you have not signed with any company, do you know that people like you who have a gold medal agent to play but have not signed any brokerage company belong to an outlier in this circle. ”

Chen Ge nodded, but there were many questions that he couldn't understand, and there was a vague feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, so he put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "I'll think about it." ”

This topic has been put aside at this point.

Several people chatted a few words, and finally Hou Xiaonan yawned, Chen Ru said: "Let's talk about it here today, it's not too early." ”

Mu Hai asked, "How did you two get here?" ”

Hou Xiaonan looked at Chen Ge with sparkling eyes, "Huanhuan and I came by taxi, Chen Ge, you can send me back." ”

Mu Hai said: "Then let's do it, I'll send Huanhuan, Chen Ge, you send Xiao Nan." ”

"Okay."

When he got to the car, Chen Ge asked, "Where is your home, I'll drive the navigation." ”

Hou Xiaonan said: "Go to your house!" ”

It started again, and Chen Ge couldn't help but scratch his head.

In another car, Mu Hai drove and looked at Chen Ru who was resting with his eyes closed from the rearview mirror, "Huanhuan, you said it too directly today." ”

Chen Ru had closed his eyes, and his voice was lazy, "Is there a difference?" ”

Mu Hai frowned, Chen Ru's words.

Chen Ru continued: "You told me at the beginning, he seems to have some resources, obviously he didn't sign a contract with any company, but he has developed smoothly all the way, today I know, he is a member of the Li family, then he doesn't need anything, although the Li family has not done any development in film and television entertainment, but the influence is everywhere, so no matter which company he signs with, it doesn't make much sense, but he will be constrained." It doesn't matter if I speak directly or not, just introduce a few sentences to let him have the concept of Huanyu in his heart, recognize a familiar face, and the purpose of tonight will be achieved. If you want to convince him to join Huan Entertainment, help me contact a few other artists you mentioned. ”

The meeting with Chen Ru did not have much impact on Chen Ge's life, he and Chen Ru used to know each other but did not have a deep relationship, it was just a little surprised by Chen Ru's good identity.

The days themselves go by day by day, and the three-point life of acting, writing scripts, and occasionally going to a bar is boring.

・・・・・・

・・・・・・

Two months after the filming of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" started, the plot ended with the tragic death of Chen Haonan's eldest brother B.

The script of "East Evil and West Poison" that Chen Ge has been writing has finally been completed.

Completion: August 21, 2007.

The whole film was screened in Chen Ge's mind again, and the final picture was fixed on the wind-stained Zhang Guorong's face, sad and indifferent, cold and deep eyes.

When writing "East Evil and West Poison", Chen Ge always has a new understanding of Wong Kar-wai's sentences, and he especially likes such a sentence: If one day I can't help but ask you, who is your favorite person, please lie to me, no matter how reluctant you are in your heart, please also say that your favorite person is me......

Chen Ge took a deep breath, looked at the script in his hand, flipped back and forth, listened to the rustle of the paper, and his mind lingered Zhang Guorong stood on the desert at sunset and looked at the sadness in the distance, I never denied that I was a pessimist, but there are many sad people, which is not to blame.

Chen Ge's mind is full of complexities that are messed together, but unfortunately Zhang Guorong in this world is no longer there, otherwise Ouyang Feng in "East Evil and West Poison" is none other than Zhang Guorong, he has a melancholy of high and low, and there is a mystery that can't help but make people lift the light veil in front of him.

There are two versions of "East Evil and West Poison", one is the original version in 1992 and the other is the ultimate version in 2008, although the two are not much different, the ultimate version is less than a minute longer than the original version, adding a close-up of Peach Blossom riding a horse in the water, and a large picture of crystal water droplets. But the Ultimate Edition adds clear seasons, and the movie is a little clearer and more understandable.

So Chen Ge wrote the ultimate version.

Chen Ge decided to be the director of this movie himself, because he didn't worry about handing over this movie to anyone, if Wong Kar-wai was there, he could give it to Wong Kar-wai, but it's a pity that there is no Wong Kar-wai in this world.

The script was written, and Chen Ge now only has one thing left, money.

Chen Ge still has more than one million cash in his hand now, although he is no longer a rich man, but it is purely whimsical to want to make a movie.

After sitting in the room with the script in his hand for a long time, Chen Ge decided to go to Lu Liang.

Lu Liang and Li Linyi have a good relationship, and they are also from making literary films, Chen Ge believes that Lu Liang can understand "East Evil and West Poison", as long as he can understand it, with Lu Liang's character, he will definitely see the joy of hunting.

Chen Ge's plan is that he has no experience as a director, and it would naturally be best if he could bring the experienced Lu Liang over as an assistant director, once Lu Liang became an assistant director, Li Linyi would have no reason not to invest money.

Chen Ge looked at the time, 9:30 in the morning, and today's filming time is 3 o'clock in the afternoon, this time should be enough for Lu Liang to give himself a clear answer after reading the script.

Calling Lu Liang's number, it was a woman who answered the phone, and her voice was very special, "Hey, hello, may I ask who you are?" ”

"I'm Chen Ge, I want to talk to Director Lu about something, is Director Lu here?"

"Wait a minute, I'll call him." A woman's voice came from the phone, and after a rush of footsteps, "Chen Ge, I'm Lu Liang." ”

"Director Lu, do you have time now?"

"What's the matter, you can tell me."

"I want to talk to Director Lu about this matter in person."

Lu Liang smiled: "What the hell is going on, making it so solemn." Well, you came to my house, I brought you here last time, you should remember. ”

"Okay, remember, I'll be there in a moment."

・・・・・・

・・・・・・

Chen Ge handed the written script to Lu Liang.

When Lu Liang got the script, he couldn't help but look at Chen Ge twice, this young man was the most special person he had seen over the years. I remember that not long ago, Mu Hai told him, saying that Mu Hai's new movie "People in the Rivers and Lakes" was a script written by Chen Ge, at that time he thought Mu Hai was joking, but later found out that it was true, and at that time he also praised Mu Hai, this young man's talent is extraordinary, but he didn't expect that just a few months later, he had a new story.

Lu Liang looked at the script in his hand: "East Evil and West Poison"

Lu Liang raised his head and asked, "Martial arts films?" ”

Chen Ge shook his head and said, "It can be called a literary film dressed in martial arts." ”

"Literary films?" Lu Liang flipped through the script casually, "Chen Ge, my brother has known you for so long, and some things will be said directly." It's not that I don't believe you, I know you're very talented, but the script of a literary film is different from the script of a commercial film, and a script can only be completed after a long time of polishing. ”

"Director Lu, I brought the script, I just hope you can help me see what is lacking and correct it." Chen Ge said.

Chen Ge clearly understands a truth, newcomers who have just set foot in a certain industry, even if they have an earth-shattering attitude, they have to bow their heads for two days and bow their waists several times, without this attitude, it is difficult to win opportunities.

Only then did Lu Liang open the script.

Evil in the East and Poison in the West.

(Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi stood opposite each other, holding a sword full of cold light, and the fight was inseparable)

Voiceover: This year, there is a drought everywhere. Where there is drought, there must be trouble, and if there is trouble, then I have business. My name is Ouyang Feng, and my profession is to help others relieve their troubles.

(in front of the camera)

Ouyang Feng: It seems that you are also in your early forties, and in the past 40 years, there are always some things that you don't want to mention again, or some people you don't want to see again. There is someone who has been sorry for you, maybe you thought about killing them, but you won't, or you don't think it's worth it. In fact, killing a person is very simple. Another friend of mine, his martial arts are very good, but life has been a bit difficult lately, if you just give him a little silver tael, he will definitely be able to help you kill that person. If you think about it, it's not easy to kill someone, but many people take this risk in order to live.

Nian Bai (Ouyang Feng): After leaving the White Camel Mountain, I went to the desert and started another life.

(In a lonely house on a barren mountain, Ouyang Feng was wiping the wine bowl while watching Huang Yaoshi come on horseback)

On the sixth day of the first month, he was stunned.

Every year at this time, a person comes to me for a drink, and his name is Huang Yaoshi. This man is strange and comes from the east every time, a habit that has been maintained for many years. This year, he brought me a handwritten letter.

Huang Yaoshi: Not long ago, I met a man who gave me a jar of wine, and she said that it was "drunk and dreaming of death". After drinking, it can make you forget anything you have done before. I wonder why there is such a wine. She said that people's biggest trouble is that their memory is too good, and if they can forget everything, every day in the future will be a new beginning. Then how happy you say. This jar was going to be given to you, and it looks like we're going to split it.

Nian Bai (Ouyang Feng): It's always hard for me to accept something too weird, so I haven't drunk this altar of "drunk life and dream death". Maybe this wine really works, and from that night onwards, Huang Yaoshi forgot a lot of things.

From the appearance of the jar of wine of drunken life and dream death, Lu Liang began to be interested.

There are many books and movies that seem boring to some people, but others find them interesting, and this is the genre of East Evil and West Poison, not to mention high and low, but not many people like it.

Chen Ge gave this script to Lu Liang because he thought that Lu Liang would definitely like the story.

Lu Liang turned the first page.

Evil in the East and Poison in the West.

Ouyang Feng's recitation: That night, he was drunk and left early the next morning. I don't know why he used that altar to "get drunk and dream to die", but I can see that he has something on his mind.

A month later, Huang Yaoshi went to a far away place, which was the hometown of his best friend. In the year when his friend got married, Huang Yaoshi lived there for a while. One day, his friend left home, and after this time, Huang Yaoshi never came again.

(A woman in the river, looking in pain, straightens her hair and glances at Huang Yaoshi on a horse behind her.) Huang Yaoshi pulled the horse and walked away. In the ghostly sound of the flute, she stroked the horse's mane and cried bitterly on the horse's back)

(Huang Yaoshi and a down-and-out samurai in a tavern)

Huang Yaoshi: Can I ask you to drink?

Samurai: I just want to drink water today.

Huang Yaoshi: I think I've seen you before.

Samurai: See, you used to be my best friend, but not anymore. What are you doing here?

Huang Yaoshi: Not long ago, I met a person, and she gave me a jar of wine, and she said that it was called "drunken life and dream death", and after drinking it, no matter what she had done before, she forgot it. I wonder why there is such a wine.

Samurai: Can you see the difference between drinking and drinking water?

(He took a sip of water) the warmer the wine, the colder the water became.

(He stands up to leave)

Huang Yaoshi: Will we see each other again?

Samurai: No. (To be continued.) )
