Chapter 386: Newcomers
The meeting of the leader is just a passing scene, and what should really be said has been communicated in private, and when the leader really meets and speaks in front of the camera, the leader basically speaks in principled clichΓ©s. However, judging from Shen Zhenghui's situation, this appearance is very important, and as soon as it is broadcast on the news network, it can basically trigger a debate on Weibo. Shen Zhenghui's own carefully prepared speech also played a role.
The leader naturally mentioned the importance of developing the tertiary industry and enriching the cultural life of the residents from a strategic vantage point, and at least on the surface, he put on an attitude of embracing all rivers and rivers on the subject, and the purpose was nothing more than the direction of the advance of advanced culture and the political policies that the people like to see.
Shen Zhenghui's speech was unexpectedly summarized and appeared in the news, and the announcer recited Shen Zhenghui's artistic outlook in a stern voice: "Director Shen Zhenghui thinks: ...... On the contrary, the reason why art has a political character is because of the development of human history expressed by its condensation, and the art itself is a skillful condensation of reality, so it is not so much that the film itself receives education from the government, but that the film itself accepts reality and then receives education from reality. Director Shen Zhenghui said that people who say that the prequel to "The Magic Apprentice" is some kind of political insinuation have not read the original work of the work and the work "The Magic Apprentice" well, and if you look at the whole series together, you can see that the artistic source of the entire series is a section of human historical development itself, and over-interpretation is actually not conducive to the understanding of the movie. But there are a thousand Hamlets in the minds of a thousand people, Director Shen said. When the work is finished, the interpretation and interpretation of the work has to be completely left to the reader and critics, and he himself is very helpless that his own work is distorted......"
"The propaganda department actually broadcast what you said like this." Wang Anping was very surprised and asked, "You asked for this?" β
"I mentioned yΓ¬, and the leader didn't object." Shen Zhenghui spread his hands, "Actually, they revised my speech to be a little boring. β
"Doesn't that make sense?" Wang Anping pouted, "This basically means that those guys are thinking about eating too much." β
"It's also of limited use." Shen Zhenghui touched his chin and said.
"You're making a statement." Wang Anping comforted him and said, "So what does the leader say about those two scripts?" β
"His attitude was not very clear, there was neither encouragement nor opposition." Shen Zhenghui licked his lips, "I thought his secretary didn't say much because of his own rights and responsibilities, but he still had this attitude when he invited me to dinner." I just don't understand. β
"I can probably understand this," Wang Anping said, "after all, he hasn't sat in that position yet, and it's not obvious that he's dissatisfied with certain departments." β
"Then he didn't say he wanted me to postpone the shooting."
"After he sits down, maybe it will be even more difficult to express his position," Wang Anping replied, "If you sit in that position and then make a statement, if you can't do it." Isn't that a slap in the face? Therefore, if you do this kind of thing directly, you can do it directly, and if you don't do it well, you won't have anything to do. β
"Why do I feel so pitted?" Shen Zhenghui chuckled twice.
"Trust me. Definitely. Wang Anping said, and then she asked, "So did he have any clear requirements for you?" Even if the tone is not so strong. β
"It's still a clichΓ©," Shen replied, "and it's just a matter of going back to China to shoot a Chinese-themed film." β
"You should listen carefully," Wang Anping said with some seriousness. "A leader of his level, when he says such things, he is definitely not just talking."
Shen Zhenghui touched his chin, "Yes, but I always have the illusion that if I want to shoot a Chinese-themed movie, I will always direct the side ball." The Film Bureau may be in a difficult situation. β
"Isn't it, aren't your previous "Assembly" and "Shanghai Fortress" very good?"
"These two movies are side balls in themselves, okay?" Shen Zhenghui took a deep breath, "If it weren't for the military's support, it would be really a question whether it could be released." β
"So many themes! You're stuck in such a road? Wang Anping was a little dissatisfied, "I heard that you also have investment in "The Return of the Great Sage", isn't this movie very good?" The domestic record has broken you, and the box office abroad is also good, and the reputation is also very good. Why are you so brainless, can't you just find a good script? β
Shen Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know what the illusion is, I always feel uncomfortable if I don't make a movie in China without doing a little bit of side ball, which may be due to my resentment of the Chinese film market for many years." β
"Phew!" Wang Anping responded to him with a word.
After the man and woman finished talking about their work, they finally entered a tender moment of sweet words, and after the matter was over, Wang Anping said about her family with some weakness, "...... It has been determined that my father will continue to stay in his current job when the term changes, and in another three years, he will retire from the second line, and then he will be able to go further. β
"Can he be mayor?" Shen Zhenghui asked, strictly speaking, Wang Anran has been the deputy hall for many years.
"The deputy mayor or deputy secretary must be a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee." Wang Anping replied, "Every step must be steadfast, and if we rise too fast, we are worried that we will be plotted because of lack of experience, after all, there are several leaders who are older than him, and their current positions are not as high as his." β
Such a dialogue gave Shen Zhenghui the illusion that he had penetrated into the ruling class.
"Then congratulations to him." Shen Zhenghui groaned, "Is it in Yuhang?" β
"How is it possible, it must be released to other cities in the province." Wang Anping said, "But it's good in Wuyue Province, at least in the next ten years, it will be smoother." β
Shen Zhenghui has nothing to say about this topic, he doesn't know as much as Wang Anping, and continuing this topic with Wang Anping is like asking the inside story.
"By the way, how is your son?" Wang Anping suddenly changed the topic, and her expression was a little shy.
"The little one is annoying right now. My parents didn't do anything and are now at home with the kids. Shen Zhenghui replied, "Liu Xin is trying to put part of his studio in Pingjing, so that it is more convenient to watch the children." β
Wang Anping didn't feel embarrassed at all because Shen Zhenghui mentioned Liu Xin, "If it's ......" she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and bit her lip again. Finally, I mustered up the courage to say, "How about having a child too?" β
Shen Zhenghui was almost scared to death by this topic, "You...... How will you explain to your family when the time comes? β
"What's this, they can't wait for me to be born when the time comes," Wang Anping disagreed, "You're still worried that you won't be able to get a hukou." β
Just kidding, even Shen Zhenghui wouldn't worry about not being able to get a hukou, "I'm just thinking about how to explain this when the time comes," he felt his head extremely big. "The word that is preached ......"
"You're worried about your wife?"
"I'm worried about how you're going to meet people." Shen Zhenghui rolled his eyes, in fact, he was also very worried about Liu Xin's reaction.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it," Wang Anping looked at Shen Zhenghui and said, "Anyway, no one in my family will point a gun at your head at that time." β
"That's hard to say." Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, "I can't imagine what Wang Anran will do." Have you really thought about it? β
"I'm almost forty years old, and I can't give birth if I don't give birth......"
"You're a few years away from turning forty!"
"Do you really want me to die on the operating table because of my advanced age?" Wang Anping said unreasonably.
Shen Zhenghui had no choice but to raise his hand, "I don't have this mental preparation." β
"I'm not going to embarrass you." Wang Anping said softly.
"I don't think you will either. But the people in your family can't guarantee it. Shen Zhenghui stood up anxiously and walked back and forth in the room a few times. Shake your head as you walk.
"Don't worry, I have a way."
Even if Wang Anping said that Zhizhu was in his hands, Shen Zhenghui couldn't feel at ease, anyway, it was all his own sin.
β¦β¦
"So you're asking me to direct these two films?" Ning Huan looked at Shen Zhenghui a little speechlessly, "When you first wrote the script, you swore that you would direct it yourself." β
"Yes. At that time, I had a hot head. Shen Zhenghui admitted, "But if I use my reputation to do this, it is obviously inappropriate now." He touched his chin, "I can't even use my own company and Kasuga to invest in making this film, so be it." You set up a separate studio by yourself, and I asked the Fukuda Guangmeitong guΓ² cooperative enterprise to inject capital into you. β
"It doesn't matter what the investment is," Ning Huan said, "The money I've saved in the past few years is enough, it's just me," he pursed his lips, "In the past few years, I have mainly worked as a screenwriter, and I have no experience as a director." He spread out his hands, "Of course, it's not that I'm afraid to say that I don't dare to shoot movies in black Taiwan and Hong Kong, I can't get used to people in these two places for a long time, but my debut film You let me make this type of movie, isn't it not good for my development?" β
"Do you still want to make a few Japanese adult movies?"
"I'm quite interested, but if this is dug up, it will be black history, so forget it." Ning Huan waved his hand and said.
"Brother, this is the best chance!" Shen Zhenghui patted Ning Huan on the shoulder, "At this time, it's so easy to get ahead, no matter how talented you are, you have to be an assistant director for a few years, even in the spring, it is impossible to arrange you to be a director now, even if you take care of you, you can only give you a small budget for film shooting, and you can barely be a director, and you can't suppress those big names for a while." Although the film and television industry in Japan is fine, your future development direction is obviously China and Hollywood, so if you want to develop well, you must do your best to become famous, which involves the choice of movie themes. β
"So filming political films?"
"You also know that after these two films were made, even if they didn't cause any impact and achievements for a while, but after a few years, when something happens in their local area, this is simply a god-like film, isn't it a big help to shape your fame and the like? In order to help you, I have given up the right to sign the script, and these two works are entirely your own. β
"I wrote it all." Ning Huan said, looking at Shen Zhenghui's eyes and changing his words, "I wrote most of it." β
"Even if these two movies can't be released in the mainland, but in fact, you have curried favor with the future boss of the mainland, which casts a layer of tiger skin on your future development, and then take 10,000 steps back, I will support you in the future, there must always be an excuse, the screenwriter and the director are different, these two movies may be your lifelong reputation, convenient for you to toss for many years!"
Ning Huan was a little moved after all, but he still said in his mouth, "I am also a gold medal screenwriter now!" β
"You are in Japan, under Kasuga, and when you return to Chinese mainland in the future, it doesn't matter if we cover you, but don't you want to set up your own door?" Shen Zhenghui continued to tempt him and said, "Do you think it's better to be a screenwriter or a director?" If the screenwriter is good, why do so many screenwriters want to change careers to become directors? β
Ning Huan swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Look at Lao Bai, who would have thought of his current scenery?" Shen Zhenghui continued, "The strength players of the Bundesliga, the main force of the national team that has been determined, from the back to the front, choose what position you want to play. Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Liverpool have all been involved in scandals with him, do you think your current fame is above him? β
"How can this be compared?" Ning Huan is still sober, "This guy has already told me that Manchester United wants to buy him, and he has already made an offer, and Scholes will retire this year." β
"So......" Shen Zhenghui spread out his hand, "By the way," he stretched out his finger, "these two films must be sent to the European Film Festival for exhibition first, and then screened, even if the box office is not good, it will definitely be created in terms of impact, and there will be a wave of online publicity in 14 or 15 years," Shen Zhenghui stared at Ning Huan, "What kind of fame will there be at that time, you should know it yourself, right?" β
"European Film Festival? Do you have a way? Ning Huan moved in his heart and asked, "Venice, Berlin or Cannes?" β
"Venice or Berlin, depending on what time you can finish it." Shen Zhenghui said, "There is no need to worry about the cost of public relations. β
Ning Huan bared his teeth, "It's not that Oscar wants any public relations expenses." β
"I always need a little money," Shen Zhenghui's eyes widened, "You just say it, can you take it or not?" β
Ning Huan took a deep breath and said with determination, "Borrow." Then he asked, "Which one will be made first?" β
"Taiwan, it's quite loud to make a fuss like this." Shen Zhenghui said. (To be continued......)
