However, Li Zhuotao's first question was Jiang Wei, but the content was about Zhao Danfeng, "Some media believe that Zhao Danfeng is a very special actor in the mainland film industry. According to reliable sources, Rice Field Music Company, in which he holds a 40% stake, has received HK$68 million in financing from Universal Music. The copyright of "South of the Clouds" is estimated at about 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and he is the first young actor in the mainland with transparent assets. I want to know, did he get the opportunity to make this drama through guò investment? ”

Zhao Danfeng listened to it beside him all the time, without any expression, but Quentin gave Zhao Danfeng a thumbs up after listening to the translation, and the translator smiled and said to Zhao Danfeng, "The Yankees said that you are young and golden." ”

"I have a girlfriend." Zhao Danfeng replied in English, and Quentin laughed. Jiang Wei, who was interviewed on the side, also smiled, "Look, he's an interesting person." Our film was his brainchild, my idea, and I invested it all. ”

"Can you sue me, how much do you personally contribute?"

"Converted, more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars." Jiang Wei said proudly, Li Zhuotao was taken aback, Quentin was even more startled, two or three thousand dollars to make a movie can participate in the main competition unit, God is blind, muttered for a while, the translator said, "Director Quentin said, he will definitely focus on your movie." ”

Li Zhuotao didn't care about these lace news, "I want to know why you don't directly write Zhao Danfeng as the starring actor in the credits list, it is obvious that in the whole movie, your role is less than Zhao Danfeng." ”

"Actually, when I was filming, I had a lot of scenes." Jiang Wei explained very seriously, "But when editing." I found his content more interesting. You know, I'm also the only cinematography for this film. Most of the time if I put the camera down. There's no way to go on with the story. ”

Undoubtedly, this explanation is much more reasonable, Li Zhuotao nodded and agreed with Jiang Wei's explanation, "What are your expectations for this trip to Berlin?" ”

"Of course, it's towards the Golden Bear." Jiang Wei said very domineeringly.

Li Zhuotao just remembered, and he didn't feel shocked by the aura of the king. Turning his head to look at Zhao Danfeng, "Mr. Zhao Danfeng, "Heavenly Road" is your second official big screen work, have you ever thought that your development in movies is much lower than your development in the music industry. I know that Wang Fei's new album has two songs from you. will be used as the title song. Compared with movies, this score is obviously much higher. If you finish school, will you continue acting? ”

"I can tell you clearly, and you can also go back to the singers in Xiangjiang to ask me for a song as soon as possible, because I won't write songs anymore after graduation." Zhao Danfeng replied with a smile, "Writing songs is just my hobby, and it's a way for me to pass the boring time at school." I know my progress in film is extremely slow compared to music, but the contrast doesn't make sense. I'm an actor, and always have been. So I should be compared to an actor who is also an art school student. Compared to this, there is no doubt that my speed is still acceptable. ”

Obviously, Li Zhuotao cared more about Zhao Danfeng's first half of the sentence. I didn't remember the second half of the sentence at all, I just looked at Zhao Danfeng, and when Zhao Danfeng finished speaking, he immediately spoke, "Are you officially announcing that after September 00, you will no longer write songs?" ”

"That's right." Zhao Danfeng nodded.

"I think it's a huge loss, I personally love 'The Only Flower in the World' that you wrote, and as far as I know, the sample would love to buy the song. Of course, maybe they haven't talked to you yet, and you can use my words as entertainment. Li Zhuotao smiled, "By the way, can I confirm the specific amount of rice field financing?" ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know more than you do." Zhao Danfeng spread his hands, "Actually, I am almost completely not responsible for the operation. ”

"So do you want to go to Xiangjiang to develop?" Li Zhuotao asked a little gossipy.

Zhao Danfeng nodded, "Of course, if there is a suitable script and the right time, I will consider it." ”

"I'm talking about music, and I think a lot of record companies will write an astronomical contract for you."

"Oh my God, I'm an actor." Zhao Danfeng said helplessly.

The end of the interview was quite pleasant, and compared with the interviews with foreign media in the next two days, Li Zhuotao's interview was much less aggressive. Jia Zhangke also encountered some ridiculous problems, and Zhao Danfeng felt ridiculous when he heard it. But this is the case, and now in '98, many foreigners don't know what it's like in China. In other words, the country they see from films like "Xiao Wu" is in line with their imagination, and it also strengthens their imagination of that country.

So Zhao Danfeng said to Jiang Wei, "You should make an urban romance movie next." ”

"Then why are you going to make costume films?" Jiang Wei smiled and said.

"It's different, I'm here for a living, and you're a great filmmaker with the mission of external publicity." Zhao Danfeng flattered, Jiang Wei patted Zhao Danfeng, "Little comrade, the future is yours, and it will definitely be yours." ”

"Well, in fact, nostalgia is also a state of mind, and I like it." Zhao Danfeng said shamelessly, "Let's talk to Jia Zhangke about his next movie another day." ”

"You don't want to invest, do you?" Jiang Wei said.

Zhao Danfeng was furious, "What are you kidding, you can make money?" ”

Jiang Wei smiled and left satisfied.

The screening day of "Pilgrim's Road" attracted a lot of foreign media, and it was the one with the highest attendance rate among almost all Chinese-language films. The main reason is that this movie is very topical, a sincere work of thousands of dollars, and the mental journey of two men, many people here think that this is a gay movie.

When it was screened, Zhao Danfeng didn't watch it inside, although Jiang Wei said that this time it was his latest edited version, which was smoother, more storytelling, and more profound. Zhao Danfeng didn't understand him yet, so he just added a few of his shots. Jia Zhangke asked Zhao Danfeng to prop up a stage for him, and he negotiated with the producer of Neon, these people intend to invest money in Director Jia to open the next play.

The filmmakers of the neon country like literary films are unimaginable to the Chinese people, and they are obviously eager to invest in this without losing or making money if they do a good job, and they can only attribute it to their unique preferences. I heard that Zhao Danfeng will be the leading actor in the next movie, and here Zhao Danfeng quietly asked Jia Zhangke, "Am I really the male lead?" ”

"Just like that, I don't have a script, who knows who plays whom." Jia Zhangke didn't hide it, but comforted him, "Iron must be more interesting than Jiang Wei, I can't do such a thing as the real supporting role of the protagonist." ”

"No one can do it." Zhao Danfeng forgave Jia Zhangke's fooling. (To be continued......)
