Wang Tong thought for a while, and suddenly felt that Fan Xiaoye had entered a misunderstanding, so he asked, "Have you read the script of "The World"? ”

"I've seen it."

"How's his part?"

"Uh, it's okay."

Fan Xiaoye thought about it, shook his head again, and corrected: "No, it seems to be quite little." ”

"Then it's okay, it's not a matter of choosing one or the other at all, but you're afraid that he won't act, right?" Wang Tong smiled.

“……”

The girl pursed her lips and reacted suddenly, she was really concerned and messy.

Suppose that "The World" starts filming in January and "No Thieves in the World" starts filming in March or April, it may seem like they overlap, but the actual operation is different.

Jia Zhangke can move Chu Qing's role to the front, finish it early, and then let him change the group. After so many years of friendship, it is not enough to give this little face.

"Oh, I'm so stupid!"

She knocked her head and smirked, "Hehe, that's up to him now." ”

Wang Tong couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "I can't take care of the things in the bed between the two of you, I'll go." ”

"Oh, don't!"

Fan Xiaoye hurriedly hugged her, didn't let her get up, rubbed the back of her neck, and said coquettishly: "Let's stay and eat, I haven't seen her for a long time." ”

"Eat? Do you? She glanced back.

"Hee-hee, sister do it, I'll do it." The dead beggar sells cuteness.

“……”

Wang Tong was speechless, turned around, pinched her face hard, and said with a smile: "Well, you say, what do you want to eat?" ”

"Yikes! Yikes! ”

Fan Xiaoye's face was rounded and flattened and stretched, and he didn't dare to resist, and said vaguely: "Pumpkin pie!" Green vegetable porridge! ”

……

For the domestic film industry. The first major event in 2004 was the lifting of the ban on Jia Zhangke.

In fact, after the meeting between the two sides last year, Lao Jia submitted the script of "The World", but he waited and waited, and there was never a reply. Since "The World" had funds from the Shanghai Film Studio, an executive went to the capital and found Tong Gang.

Tong Gang's reply was very affirmative, saying that this matter could be started.

But the executive was not at ease, and said that you have to give us a text, otherwise you will not be sure.

This drag. It was delayed until January 8th, and major studios, film and television units, and the media all received a notice from the Film Bureau: Jia Zhangke officially lifted the ban.

The audience doesn't hang at all, who knows who you Jia Zhangke is?

Film and television giants don't care even more, and they can't pee on the same pot with literary film directors.

Only interested in the media, overwhelming interviews and reports, to show that the spring of Chinese films is coming.

And Lao Jia also informed Chu Qing, saying that the crew was established and was about to start. So. On January 10, Chu Qing flew back to the capital.

He was in a hurry, and the night before was the finale banquet of "Eros", and he got off the plane at noon today. But Ye Kai took him to the two flavors. Before he had eaten two bites of food, Cheng Ying called again and told him to come over and work.

There was no way, so he had to run to the studio. There were already three people waiting there.

Isn't this January, the selection of films in Cannes this year has been completely launched, and he is the representative of the Chinese region. Naturally, you have to lift your pants to work.

These three, the first one is a rookie director, so new that he doesn't even make his debut, he is just a playful young man. With a little feeling, I scraped together some money, and I thought I had the whole world with a DV.

Chu Qing was very polite and asked him to leave the film and wait for the notice.

The second place, a little famous, has filmed two works, and it is more than the kind that is less than the top. He is obviously much more professional than the one in front of him, but he is a bit of a mouthpiece, from his personal ideals to saving the Chinese film market, the foaming stars are spraying, and he has a sense of clicking.

Chu Qing also left a belt, saying that he would appreciate it.

The third place, finally a little bit of a look, the channel manager of Hero Century Film and Television Company, surnamed Wang.

The middle-aged man ran over with a large stack of materials by himself, and talked about it for a long time, not to get to the point, but to invite him to eat, to take a bath, to invite all kinds of big swords, and to the peripheral women.

Ah!

Speaking from the heart, if it weren't for the daughter-in-law watching, then I wouldn't be able to go!

Chu Qing understands that he has nothing more to help recommend him so that he can get a direct card from Cannes. But this is a matter of principle, and any bourgeois temptation to corrupt should be forced as soon as possible.

"You see you don't eat, I'm so embarrassed!"

"I really don't have time today, I got my heart, don't worry, I'll take a look at it at night."

"Ouch, thank you then."

"It's easy to say, I'll give you an answer!"

"Bye-bye!"

On the second floor of the studio, Chu Qing sent Lao Wang out of the office, watched him pedal downstairs, and heard the sound of the car starting, before returning to the house.

"Hey......"

He collapsed on the couch, a little tired indeed, and he was really spinning.

"Brother Qing, Sister Ying is going to use the big conference room in the afternoon, what time will you finish here?"

At this time, the little rookie Ding Linglin suddenly appeared and leaned against the door to ask.

"What is she going to do?"

"It's like training us."

"Isn't that the end of the hut?" He wondered.

"Well, the hut can't hold a PPT."

“……”

Chu Qing was helpless, so he had to say: "Then I will use the small one and the big one for you." ”

"Hee-hee, then I'll talk back!" Ding Linglin said with a smile.

"Go, go, go!"

He couldn't help but feel a pain, took a cup of tea and sat down at the table, and began to look through the materials sent by his buddies. In the first two parts, just looking at the plot synopsis, I can't complain, and as for the last one, it's really a bit unexpected.

This movie is called "Jasmine Blossom", the director is Hou Yong, a fifth-generation contemporary, a photographer, and the film is his second work.

probably tells a bitter love story of three generations of women, the three female characters in it are all played by Zhang Ziyi, and she is accompanied by Jiang Wen, Lu Yi, and Liu Ye.

A cast and story like this, if the director is not brain-dead, it must be above the level. But he was puzzled, it stands to reason that the film should not lack channels, how did he find me here?

He pondered for a moment, flipped through the list of investors, and saw that it read: Hero Century Company, etc.

What the hell is this "wait"?

The more Chu Qing thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed Jiang Wen. After a while, he answered, and he came up and asked, "Hey, Boss Jiang, what's going on with "Jasmine Blossom"?" ”

"Where did someone find you?" Old ginger's reaction is extremely fast.

"Yes, a director of the Hero Century, I'm a little unreliable, so I thought I'd ask you."

"Holy!"

Jiang Wen habitually scolded and said: "That's a bad debt, China Film, Jin Yingma, Wanji, Poly Huayi, and Hero Century are investing in five companies, and now the spoils are unevenly distributed, and there is a lot of infighting!" It's impossible to say whether this film can be released or not, anyway, don't get involved in this matter, it's not something we can afford. ”

!

After hearing this, Chu Qing couldn't help but scold.

Of the five investors, one came to him, and the credit for going to Cannes together belongs to the Hero Century, and he can take the lead in the future distribution of interests, but what about the other four, he was properly blacked out, with the strength background of those people, will he be mixed up in the future?

This is called killing people with a knife, or tricking others for self-interest.

“……”

He immediately felt very depressed, and just thought about upholding justice and sticking to principles, but the result was good, and he immediately knew how deep the pool was.

I really can't afford to play, so I can only hide.

It can be said that on the first day Chu Qing came back, he was immersed in the studio.

In the afternoon, someone from Huayi's side came again, and Guan Hu also rushed over, and the three parties gathered in that small conference room to study the release plan of "On the Road".

This is a censored, formal, terrestrial, and barely in line with mainstream values. But the subject matter is too niche, and there is no hope of recovering the cost in China, and Huayihe Studio will not invest any publicity expenses.

So hey, I still have to take the film festival route, copy the fame first, and then talk about it, everyone is quite confident in the quality of the film.

This is cold, Chu Qing pinched his fingers, and counted one: first the Beijing University Student Film Festival at the end of April, then the Cannes Film Festival in May, and the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award and the Magic Capital Film Festival in the second half of the year, as well as the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival and the Tokyo Author Film Festival at the end of the year.

Among them, the registration conditions of Cannes are not limited to commercial operations or exhibitions in the country, as long as they do not participate in foreign activities.

This list of names is a very long process, and you don't necessarily have to participate, at least you have to hold half of them. At that time, the contract signed by the two parties was that the domestic distribution activities would be returned to Huayi, and the overseas distribution activities would be returned to Chu Qing, and the profits would be divided equally.

How could Fan Xiaoye still complain, saying that the other party took advantage of it, because there was nothing to make in the country, but now that I look at it, people have also calculated a lot of strength. (To be continued......)
