Shen Chong came to Taipei, the main purpose was to find Qiu Gangjian.

One is for the script of "The Thirteen Langs of the South Sea", and the other is for the script he wrote himself.

He began to prepare for his first film.

Although he participated in the production of "Crazy Robbery", Shen Chong still has no confidence to direct a movie independently, so he is ready to make a movie as simple as possible first, practice his skills, and then go to make a big production and complete the tasks given by the system.

Simple, naturally requires fewer people and fewer scenes.

Shen Chong has actually watched a lot of movies that meet this condition, "Twelve Angry Men", "The Moon", "This Man is from the Earth", etc., all of which are very classic small-scene movies.

But he didn't want to make these, because the core content of these films is a Western cultural perspective, and it is difficult to change.

Even if "Twelve Angry Men" wants to be filmed, you must first get a remake permit, and the jury is a typical Western system, and for Chinese, whether it is tradition or reality, it is a floating cloud.

"The Moon", Americans look at the moon, think of the moon landing, is technology, what the Chinese see, is Chang'e, is a myth, so even if you want to shoot the so-called sense of family and loneliness, it should be "Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, the blue sea and the sky night heart", not the story of replicants wanting to go home.

"This Man is from the Earth", without mentioning the content, just talking about the setting, does not conform to the Chinese cultural background, Chinese when he says goodbye, he will be in the room where the furniture is all gone?

If you want to shoot, just shoot your own story, just borrow a creative idea, and the content should be your own.

So Shen Chong chose a movie that he had only heard of in his previous life and had never seen as the creative source for his first movie.

This movie is "Buried Alive".

Shen Chong had only heard the introduction of an American in Iraq who was buried alive with only a lighter, a knife and a mobile phone by his side, and then tossed and turned for 90 minutes.

Iraq or something, Shen Chong was not interested at all.

He just thinks this idea is quite interesting, a person, a scene, simple enough, and I haven't seen it, my mind will not be bound, and I can write how I want.

Shen Chong waited for more than a month in Huangshan, and during this time, he pondered this script as soon as he had his spare time.

There is nothing wrong with a lighter and a knife, but a mobile phone......

Mobile phones can communicate, which is the main tool to promote the plot, and the screen can be illuminated, so that the audience can see the actors' performances clearly, without mobile phones, the scene will not go on at all.

Mobile phones are important, but in 1979, most of the oldest big brothers had not yet been born......

After Shen Chong struggled for a while, he arranged a special landline telephone for the protagonist that could light in the dark.

As for the content of the script, he is an arrogant and domineering rich man who was buried alive and blackmailed, he used the phone to ask for help, and encountered all kinds of problems, such as his parents hated him for being unfilial, his wife hated him for cheating, his friends hated him for being unjust, his subordinates hated him for being stingy, and so on.

Shen Chong was born in a wild road, with enthusiasm, based on some experiences and life insights in his previous life, combined with imagination, and finally came up with a script.

In a sense, this movie can also be regarded as a summary of his 3O years of life in his previous life - burying all kinds of things in his previous life alive.

After the script came out, Shen Chong felt very empty, so he showed it to Chen Yunwen and Qiu Gangjian, two experts, and asked for comments and revisions.

Chen Yunwen went on vacation, what her reaction was, Shen Chong didn't know for the time being, but Qiu Gangjian had a very high opinion of this script.

After coming out of Qiu Gangjian's house, in Zhang Aijia's car, Shen Chong asked, "Do you think I have the momentum of a superior person?" ”

Zhang Aijia was puzzled, glanced at him, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"I don't think the script is well written, but Editor-in-Chief Qiu keeps saying it's good." Shen Chong touched his head and said, "If I wasn't too imposing, why would he flatter me?" ”

"Boasting!" Zhang Aijia laughed and said: "Brother Qiu obviously said that there are many problems with your script, but you only heard praise, and your cheekiness is too thick." ”

"Is there one?" Shen Chong smiled and said: "The first time I wrote a script, I was very satisfied with one or two sentences of praise, but I didn't expect Editor-in-Chief Qiu to give such a high evaluation, a little fluttering." ”

"Your script, although the plot is full of loopholes, the setting is quite interesting." Zhang Aijia stopped the car at the intersection and said: "One person, one play, I don't think it's like a movie script, it's more like a stage play script." ”

"A stage play?" Shen Chong asked, "You mean drama?" ”

"Pretty much." Zhang Aijia turned her head and said, "You give me another copy of the script, and I'll show it to a friend who is doing a stage play." ”

"You're really a Taipei Octopus girl, and you have relationships everywhere." Shen Chong pointed ahead, signaling that it was okay to drive, and then asked, "Who is your friend?" Introduced to me. ”

"What octopus? It's hard to hear. Zhang Aijia moved the car and said; This friend of mine is a big beauty, I can't let you see it, just give me the script. ”

"Not every beauty is worth chasing." Shen Chong smiled, didn't ask anymore, and said, "I'll make a copy of it for you when I go back." ”

After a while, Shen Chong said again: "I'm also quite interested in stage plays, where is there a performance in Taipei?" ”

"There is a small theater on Guling Street, and there is also a theater troupe at the Gengxin Cultural and Educational Center." Zhang Aijia said; "But it's not every day that there is a play, I'll call later, if there's a play tonight, let's go see it together, I haven't watched a stage play for a long time."

"Is there a troupe called Lanling Opera Workshop?"

"Lanling Opera Workshop? Haven't heard of it. Zhang Aijia glanced at him and asked, "Where did you hear this name?" ”

Shen Chong snorted and said; "Maybe I'm mistaken, I've been running around lately, and my memory is a little confusing."

……

I didn't watch the stage play, but I watched a movie - Zhang Aijia's "Legend in the Mountains", which was filmed in South Korea for a long time.

Hu Jinquan was the most accomplished Chinese director in the sixties and seventies, "The Heroine" was world-famous, word-of-mouth box office peak, and then "The Storm of the Spring Pavilion" and "The Legend of the Martyrs" were all acclaimed and acclaimed, in 1978, he was named one of the world's top five directors by the British magazine "International Film Guide".

At this time, Hu Jinquan's career reached its peak, full of ambition, and wanted to make a better martial arts movie, after he got investment from Hu Shuru and Luo Kaimu, he went to South Korea, stayed in Jeju Island for a year, and made two movies, "Legend in the Mountains" and "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain".

Shen Chong is very curious about "Legend in the Mountains", because according to Zhang Aijia, Hu Jinquan is very particular, in Jeju Island, in order to wait for a shot, she didn't do anything for more than 4o days, and in this gap, she ran back to Hong Kong and filmed "Crazy Robbery......

"Legend in the Mountains" was released in Taiwan at the end of June, and the box office was dismal, and it had long been offline at this time.

But it's not difficult, Zhang Aijia can get a copy, and Shen Chong is a local tyrant, charters a small movie theater, and then the two of them watch it leisurely.

Anyway, it was a chartered venue, and after watching it, the two of them didn't rush to leave, they just sat there and chatted - there were only two people in the empty movie theater, which felt quite amazing.

"More than 18o minutes, that's too long." Shen Chong looked at his watch and said, "No wonder the box office is not good. ”

"When it was screened in Taiwan, it wasn't that long." Zhang Aijia explained: "I got the original copy, and when it was released, it was cut by the film company for less than two hours. ”

"Is Hu Jinquan willing to do this?"

"Of course not." Zhang Aijia bit the straw on the Coke cup and said with a smile: "The shot that took more than 4o days to shoot was also cut, and Director Hu scolded angrily after hearing about it in Hong Kong." ”

Shen Chong smiled and said: "Hu Jinquan's ability to be a director is second to none among Chinese filmmakers, but it's a pity that he doesn't understand the film industry. ”

"How dare you talk nonsense." Zhang Aijia said: "Director Hu has made movies for more than ten years and is very famous all over the world, but he still doesn't understand movies? ”

"He understands the system, but he doesn't know how to operate." Shen Chong said: "To put it bluntly, the core function of the movie is two, one is entertainment, one is to make money, and the others are secondary, Hu Jinquan regards movies as personal works of art, so I said he doesn't understand." ”

"Movies are a kind of art, how can you be so vulgar as you say."

"Vulgarity is the mainstream of the film industry." Shen Chong didn't delve into this problem, he put his feet on the seat in the front row, and said: "When Hu Jinquan made a movie, it was as casual as a scholar writing and painting in his own study. ”

"Alarmist." Zhang Aijia was disdainful and said; "With Director Hu's prestige and status, what trouble can there be? Even if Hong Kong people are philistine, no one will invite him to film in the future, and someone in Taiwan will definitely invite him. ”

"Hey, hey, you can't attack on the map." Shen Chong pointed at himself and said, "How can anyone slap someone in the face, I am a serious Hong Kong person." ”

"Come on, you're one of the most philistine people in Hong Kong." Zhang Aijia patted him with a smile and said, "There must be heroes in Hong Kong who fight for righteousness and squandering money, but you are definitely not." ”

Shen Chong snorted and said, "Why don't we make a bet?" ”

"What bet?"

"Hu Jinquan is in big trouble this time." Shen Chong said: "And this big trouble has to be solved by me, a philistine." ”

"Cut, you're thinking too highly of yourself." Zhang Aijia said: "What to bet on? ”

"Make a promise...... What do you think? ”

"I'm really speechless to you, don't bet!" Zhang Aijia glanced at him, and after a while, asked, "Hey, do you think I look good in the movie?" ”

"It's not good-looking, ancient beauties pay attention to cherry mouths, how can you have them?"

"I hate it, how dare you say that......"
