After "Anyang Baby" gained a certain amount of attention in Cannes and was bought out by MK2 for distribution rights in Europe, Wang Chao was in high spirits and prepared to go to Argentina to participate in a small country film festival. And Fang Li invested hundreds of thousands of funds, and the profits recovered were just enough for the cost, but the prospects of the film are very impressive, and there should be a series of small returns in the future.

The main reason is that his confidence in Wang Chao has increased, and he no longer thinks that he is a rookie director, but a potential newcomer worth cultivating, and the two sides have preliminarily discussed the shooting plan of the next film.

As for Zhang Yuan, he is still in the crew of "I Love You", and he is working with Wang Shuo to teach Xu Jinglei. Lou Ye won a lot of awards with "Suzhou Creek", so he was temporarily in retreat, regardless of the world. Lu Xuechang signed Huayi Brothers last year to set up his own film studio, and it is said that he is polishing a new script.

Chu Qing asked around, or looking for a film appointment, or listening to the above policies, but there was no, either it had been filmed, or it had not been prepared, so it had to be noted down first.

On the contrary, Wang Xiaoshuai, who won the Berlin Silver Bear Award at the beginning of the year with "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", but he still has no chance with the domestic market, he must be unwilling, and plans to go to the Golden Horse Awards again.

This gave Chu Qing a wake-up call, and slapped his thigh suddenly, yes, there is also the Golden Horse Award!

He chatted with people for a long time, and asked about the registration process, so he immediately called Li Yu to discuss the competition. Li Yu was also very excited when he heard it, after all, it is an award with far-reaching influence in the Chinese-speaking region, and compared with Cannes, it has a special sense of identity.

In other words, the threshold of the Golden Horse Award is a process of decreasing year by year:

At first, it was only set up to revitalize Taiwanese films, and there were a lot of rules and regulations. But since 1996, a major reform has begun, as long as the film uses Chinese as the main pronunciation language, regardless of the country of production, funding structure or nationality of the cast and crew, you can apply for the competition, and mainland films are also in this year. For the first time, it was included in the scope of participation.

In 1997, it began to position itself as a global Chinese film competition.

In 1999, the qualification restriction that films must obtain a license to be licensed and certified by the relevant units was further abolished.

Even in 2003, there was no longer a restriction on Chinese as the main pronunciation, as long as the film involved the language or dialect used in the Chinese region, you could apply, such as "Wu Qingyuan", which is mainly based on Japanese dialogue.

It seems that the Golden Horse Awards seem to be very low, and they keep dropping their discipline in order to expand their influence, but they are always more courageous than the Academy Awards that Hong Kong people play by themselves.

This year marks the 38th edition. Chinese films that have been completed since October last year and have been completed in September this year are all eligible for registration. Then 10 preliminary screenings, the shortlist will be announced in November, and the award ceremony will be held in December.

Of course, when mainland films participate in overseas film festivals, they must be sent to the Film Bureau for approval, otherwise they will be punished, but "This Summer". Hehe......

That's OK, without any hesitation, the two of them made a decision and decided to participate.

Wang Xiaoshuai is really Chu Qing's beckoning cat. In addition to this, a message was also brought that the girlfriend just had a chance.

……

Zhuji is the hometown of Xi Shi. The land where King Goujian of Yue tried to restore the country.

Zhuji specializes in a kind of nut, called Xianghua. It is said that back then, Gou Jian tested Xi Shi and Zheng Dan with how to open the fragrant nut shell. Zheng Dan had no choice, but Xi Shi found two abrupt points on the shell, and with a light press, the fruit opened.

Gou Jian was overjoyed, so he named those two protrusions "Xi Shi Eye".

The legend is very beautiful, too beautiful to be true, a touch of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery is picturesque, and it has nothing to do with the rough man in front of him.

In the afternoon, on the second floor of the studio, Chu Qing was receiving the first guest since the opening.

Big and tall, 190cm, a mouthful of authentic Beijing films, not very focused on you when you speak, with a smell of tobacco, more chatter about interested topics, perfunctory past if you are not interested, and the virtue of who you love.

This product is Wang Xiaoshuai's younger brother, called Guan Hu.

is different from the sixth generation that Chu Qing has come into contact with, Guan Hu is not pretending, direct, very realistic, revealing the ruffian atmosphere cultivated in the streets and alleys of the market, and the desperate entanglement of cultural people.

"For me, making a TV series is a job, and making a movie is a job. I believe in Senior Brother, Senior Brother believes in you, and you must also believe me, so that we can talk. ”

He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, his bald head shook slightly, and threw a book casually.

"Okay, I'll take a look first." Chu Qing smiled, picked up the script and flipped through it.

The movie is called "Xi Shi Eye", which is a script written by a local writer, and the Zhuji government thinks it is good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is suitable for tourism promotional films, so they began to invest in the group.

To make a movie, you have to hang the factory logo, so the government found China Film for help, which belongs to the promotion of positive values, China Film is naturally willing to help, and recommended Guan Hu of Beijing Film Studio.

Ya is actually a director in the system, there is a compilation, this is considered a job, tens of thousands of yuan of remuneration, the same as the "Get in the Car, Let's Go" filmed for CCTV Movie Channel last year, just to fight for a political position.

What about hair?

Because this product is particularly angry except for his debut novel "Hair is Messy", he has gone all the way down and become more and more cowardly. He wanted to do something personalized, but he had no money, so he had to shoot some TV series that he was afraid of to support his family.

It is best to make a film for the government, it is safe, and the harvest is guaranteed in drought and flood.

The sixth generation is not all angry youth, there are sleek compromises like Guan Hu, and there is also Lu Xuechang's insistence on not making underground movies like that, and his personal ideas are different, so he doesn't have to force them to return to the pile.

At this time, he just finished filming "Black Hole", and after reading the book of "Xi Shi Eye", he thought it was good, and he pulled Chen Zhiming as a consultant.

The story is divided into three parts, each with a female protagonist, a 16-year-old tea girl A Xi, a 26-year-old middle school teacher Shi Yu, and a 36-year-old Yue Opera actor Lianwen. It probably talks about the joys and hardships they experienced in the process of pursuing their dreams, and they were tenacious and tenacious.

The tone is similar to the main theme, and there is a little more humanistic color, and some actors like to make this kind of film very much, for the same reason, in order to save political capital.

Chu Qing liked it very much after reading it, it was also a female theme, softer and slower than Li Yu's consciousness, as gentle and moving as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

"The second story is the best, is the role decided?" He asked.

"It's settled, my girlfriend." Guan Hu didn't blush at all.

"Girlfriend?" He was stunned.

"Well, Ma Yili, her temperament is very compatible."

Chu Qing suddenly turned out to be the first generation of scheming, and asked again: "Then what do you think of my girlfriend?" ”

He reached out and nodded, landing on Ah Xi's name.

"In this film, the meaning of the leader is that you have to find a southern actor, but the accent is easy to manage, so you just need to learn. The face is innate, and the ancestor appreciates food, and no one can compare to it. ”

Guan Hu straightened up and said with a smile: "Your girlfriend is this." ”

Yo, Chu Qing loves to listen to this, with Fan Xiaoye's foundation, he said that now, in another ten years, there will be no pressure to play a young girl. Speaking of which, it's basically done, although it's a pity that I didn't get the role of a female teacher.

"Thank you then!" He laughed.

"Hi, you're welcome! But let's talk about it first, I'm not very kind to actors. ”

The guy finally couldn't help it, quickly lit a cigarette, and said seriously: "I have resistance to professional performance, because I know that stylized thing, which is similar to Peking Opera." The actors didn't shape this at all, but from Beiying to Chinese opera, they are still teaching this. What to shape, what to experience other people's lives, is pure nonsense, it is simply impossible. ”

Chu Qing also took a cigarette in his mouth and quietly listened to the other party's inexplicable change of topic.

"He is still acting, and he will play a paragraph for you, but he doesn't only have two sides, there must be ninety-nine eighty-one sides, you just need to show one side of him, not for outsiders, to catch it in this prescribed environment." Guan Hu suddenly paused when he said this.

"I understand, you continue." Chu Qingdao.

"You understand?"

"Well, I know, I'm going to work out this now."

Guan Hu lifted his glasses, danced with a strange look, and continued: "So, my method is to deny the actors, dispel their self-confidence, keep denying, and make the girl dizzy." ”

He nodded his finger to the side and pretended to say, "No, no, it's not right!" It's still not right, if you can't do it today, don't shoot it! ”

"If you are famous or not, you will embarrass Yayi, and the actor will not be able to sleep at night, and he will think about what to do the next day. And then when he came, he was dizzy, a little frightened, hey, that was all right. ”

After he finished nagging, he finally summed up and said with a smile: "So your girlfriend came to me, what are the three long and two short, she don't cry to you, and don't beat me!" ”

"How can it!"

Chu Qing flicked the cigarette ash and said with a smile: "I wish there was a famous teacher to guide her." By the way, you don't have to go to the broker's side, you look at it, let's go as much as you want. ”

"Haha!" Guan Hu laughed a few times, stood up, his height exploded instantly, and he stretched out his hand and said, "At first, I came over to show my senior brother's face, and now I will make you a friend." ”

……

Fan Xiaoye has no problem with this, because the quality of the script is really great.

She is a northerner and is very interested in the customs and customs of Jiangnan. The three women in the book reflect the living conditions of the entire Jiangnan, simple and beautiful, small and warm.

More importantly, this is a film that can be released in China.

Well, she has followed Chu Qing for several years, and almost thought that she was also banned.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and he was about to return to Hong Kong, although his stay was short, he did a lot of things, made a cameo appearance, negotiated a play, and bought a car.

I wanted to contact Wang Tong, he hadn't seen his sister for a long time, but I heard Fan Xiaoye say that she had already set off for Venice, so she had to give up.

And the Golden Horse competition of "This Summer", Li Yu is not easy to operate in the mainland, and maybe he will be obstructed by some people, Chu Qing plans to sign up from Hong Kong and form a group with Guan Jinpeng and Chen Guo.

The film is no longer a blank title, it has to be re-cut slightly, at least with a producer in front: the two of us studios. (To be continued......)
