Next chapter

China Film and the Film Bureau seem to have heard some news, and within the scope of their efforts, they are very happy to sell their favors to Chu Qing. Needless to say, the scale and radiation of the event are far greater than those of previous ones.

By the beginning of May, the company had consolidated the results of the film's power and announced its projects for this year.

In terms of movies, "The Piano of Steel", "Turning the Mountain", and "33 Days of Broken Love" were established.

If Fan Xiaoye is allowed to choose, "33 Days of Broken Love" will be ranked first, and the two don't matter. If Chu Qing was allowed to choose, he would rather not have those two, and he would have to shoot "The Piano of Steel".

After "Ears Are Blessed", Zhang Meng contributed his peak play. He set the background in the early 90s in the Northeast, when a large number of factories closed down, a large number of workers were laid off, and the old heavy industry base was in a depression.

The protagonist's name is Chen Guilin, a laid-off steel mill worker, who formed a wedding and funeral band, and ran around all day long. Sook Xian is his girlfriend and the lead singer of the band.

Chen Guilin has an ex-wife named Xiaoju. She made a large sum of money and asked for custody of her daughter. The daughter likes music, so after the two of them are in business (private) and (forced), who can give their daughter a piano has become the key to fighting for custody.

He raised money in many ways, and even went to school with Shuxian to steal the piano, but to no avail.

When all else failed, Chen Guilin, with the help of a group of down-and-out brothers such as retired thieves, full-time thugs, and pork princes, built a steel piano in that dilapidated factory.

Chu Qing is a native of Northeast China, and although he is not in a worker's family, some of his relatives and friends are laid-off workers. This extremely regionally colored script completely aroused his thoughts.

Brick walls, chimneys, factory buildings, cold days, black soil, and burdened old Northeast ...... A story about dreams and the changes of the times, Zhang Meng told it clearly and hierarchically.

When Chu Qing saw "The Piano of Steel" for the first time, he decided to shoot it, and chose the actor as soon as possible, Wang Qianyuan. He has been in the company for several years and has made a lot of film and television dramas, but they are all used as a guarantee for his acting skills. With this film, it can be regarded as a breakthrough.

Let's talk about "Turning the Mountain", this is a script adapted from a novel, Jiao Xiongping's eldest sister has a discerning eye, and she brought it to Chu Qing for help.

The story tells the story of a Taiwanese teenager who has just graduated from college, and is stuck at home with nothing to do. He had an older brother who signed up for a homeless program, which was to ride a bicycle to Lhasa, but died in an accident on the way. Sao Nian decided to fulfill his brother's wish, so despite the opposition of his family, he embarked on the trip alone.

Chu Qing read the script and felt that it was not bad, many movies are revolving at the level of desire, but "Turning the Mountain" focuses on the level of life. Of course, Cheng Ying's perspective is different, she only cares about one thing: this film can be made into a cross-strait co-production...... Eh, just by talking about this nature, you know that the route is correct.

As for "33 Days of Broken Love", it is a book taken by Teng Huatao.

The original novel is called "Novel, or Guide", which was originally published on Douban and later published as a book. After Teng Huatao saw it, he immediately contacted the author and facilitated this cooperation.

In terms of commerciality, the company is most optimistic about the film, a comedy, it doesn't need much investment, and it has the opportunity to become a dark horse.

In other words, the American film market is very detailed, and they call a genre of films chiklik, that is, women's films. But it's better than the blessing of the Chinese group.,Translated as:Chick movie.。

The routine is generally like this:

First of all, the heroine must be very weak, and she is basically set as a poor and flat-chested female sling. Then, she will have a scum boyfriend who is a global veteran driver, ouch, that scumbag, three bottles of champagne are not enough!

Then, there will be a bewitching and cheap woman with swollen breasts to be the villain, and there will also be a loyal dog man with a toilet to contract the heroine's food, drink and Lazar. In the end, the female sling was self-reliant and self-reliant, slapped the woman with a swollen chest in the face, kicked the handsome scumbag, and lived a happy life with the loyal dog.

We usually have a unified title for this kind of heroine: Sweet Sister.

Western, such as "50 First Loves", "Diary of a Princess", "Legally Blonde"; Hong Kong's, such as "Marrying a Rich Man", "Jade Girl Tianding", and "Summer Mama Tea". In fact, there is a great shortage of women's films in the mainland, and last year's "Very Perfect" by Zhang was the first time.

"33 Days of Broken Love" is a fairly mature chick movie, with love themes, female inspiration, fashion style, funny and funny, and hi skin endings all included.

Fan Xiaoye wanted to act very much, but after communicating with her husband, she still gave up.

What do you call a chick? She may not be very beautiful, but she must be down-to-earth, like Bai Baihe, Wang Luodan, and Tang Weila, all of whom are standard chicks. With Fan Xiaoye's president attributes, it always means to play a silly big sister, which is always a bit cute.

So the company picks and chooses, and can only give soup.

……

In terms of TV series, it is "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of Lu Zhen".

"The Legend of Lu Zhen" is a project launched by Lu Xiaojia, which was originally given to Zhao Liying, although others are red-eyed, they also know that they can't grab it. And Baozi leaked a little bit with Chen Xiao, and the company also felt that he was more suitable, and intended to find him to be the male lead.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is very troublesome, the original work is an overhead novel, but the General Administration issued a document, saying that it is not allowed to cross and overhead, so it is based on the background of the previous Qing Dynasty.

Zheng Xiaolong's casting work is almost finished, Zhen Huan is still Sun Li, Concubine Hua is still Jiang Xin, the queen is still barbecued pork, the emperor, uh, or Uncle Pancake.

In good conscience, Uncle Pancake has acting skills, but playing the emperor is too abstract. Standing without standing, sitting without sitting, holding his sleeves and putting a plate on the kang all day long, his whole body is full of a sense of immediacy that I have been hollowed out.

The most unbearable thing is that she smacks her mouth when she eats. Come on! Emperor, you're not a rich man, you were raised by etiquette since you were a child, and you still smack your mouth when you eat, why are you teasing me?

Of course, many people think that he plays well, what kind of imperial tricks, joy and anger are invisible...... OK, no comments here.

There are so many Barra, just to illustrate the fact that an egg hurts: except for Uncle Pancake, there is no second candidate.

Casting is not only about looking at the face and acting skills, the important thing is to fit the character, what is the emperor in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"? Cool and unrighteous, scheming and gloomy, good * lust ruthless.

Zheng Xiaolong is very strict, and the first requirement is not to be a handsome uncle, because it is not an idol drama. Yongzheng is 45 years old when he ascends the throne, and he looks crooked and cracked, so there is no need for the Meitu show.

Even if you find Uncle Ming to act, find Chen Baoguo to act...... Nothing else, but Chu Qing couldn't imagine the picture of them being cuckolded, and then happy to be a father, vomiting blood and dying.

Even Wu Xiubo, Zhang Jiayi, and Weizi thought about it, but sadly found that this role was so classic that no one could be found.

So, Uncle Pancake is still Uncle Pancake, anyway, Zheng Xiaolong likes it.

In addition, King Guojun gave Huang Xuan, the original An Lingrong was too ugly, and it was replaced by Huo Siyan, and the Queen Mother was still Liu Xuehua. As for the small ones, Zheng Xiaoshuang is Huanbi, Jin Chen is Xia Dongchun, and Tang Ting is a noble Qi.

If it is a qiē shun lì, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will be launched in August.

…………

On May 12, the 63rd Cannes Film Festival opened.

There are very few works in this competition, and even with the help of masters such as Godard, Abbas, and Takeshi Kitano, it can't erase the embarrassment of only 17 films competing for the Palme d'Or.

There is only one Chinese film, Wang Xiaoshuai's "Sunshine Heavy * Celebration". He was more hard-working, and he was originally a kind of attention unit work, but he was admitted at the last minute. With this kind of qualification and treatment, it is no fun to win the award.

This time, there are two groups of people who are the most eye-catching, one is Chu Qing's "Sword Rain", and the other is Lao Jiang's "Let the Bullets Fly". There are not many people from the company, two people plus female students, and then Yu Wenle and Zhang Zhen, a total of five.

It's quite emotional to say, it's been a long time since Ya left the competition unit, and she came to sell films! Sell films! Sell films! And the drinking party of "Sword Rain" was on the 18th, and "Let the Bullets Fly" was on the 15th, and he had to cheer for Lao Jiang first.

Night, a tavern opposite the Palais des Cinémonos.

Jiang Wen was wearing a black shirt and jeans, and was busy greeting guests, and a trailer was repeatedly broadcast on the scene: Fa Ge was combing the shiny little partial, and Uncle Ge was lying in the pile of silver and laughing extremely obscenely......

Chu Qing and Jia Zhangke sat in a corner, chatting leisurely while drinking. Lao Jia brought a documentary "Legend of the Sea", which was a screening, and he hadn't looked at Qingzi for a while, and he was very happy.

The goods are heartless, Balabala's complaint: "You say you, don't be sad all day long, you look old, and your bitter face is gone." ”

Lao Jia drooped his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "You pull the white hair first." ”

"Huh?"

The goods were startled, and quickly brushed their sideburns, then came back to their senses and sneered: "You are not authentic at all now!" ”

"Heh......"

Lao Jia smiled and took a sip of his own wine.

I think that at the beginning, a 27 and a 21 were all high-spirited times. Now that he is famous, one is 40, one is 34, and there is no longer the state of mind at that time.

The two were chatting, when suddenly a reporter came over and asked carefully: "Brother Qing, Director Jia, can I interview you?" ”

"We're here to rub the rice, and if we want to pick it, we will pick him." Chu Qing pointed over there.

"Director Jiang Wen, uh, it's not very convenient......"

When he heard this, he was bullied again, so he pulled his neck and shouted: "Old Jiang, where is it!" Here's it! ”

", what's the matter?" Jiang Wen ran over, sweating profusely, and shook it like a big lion.

"People want to interview, come on, come on!"

Jia Zhangke grabbed a chair and poked it to the side, purely deliberately adding to the chaos.

“……”

Lao Jiang was too lazy to spray people, sat down with his ass, and said, "Come on, it's just time for me to rest." ”

The reporter trembled, took the pen and paper tremblingly, and asked, "Uh, didn't you say you wouldn't participate before, why did you come again?" ”

"I was kidnapped. They came to sell the film, and they thought it was good, so they asked to talk to the director. They said you have to come here, otherwise this piece won't be sold, so I'll come. ”

"And what did you do when you came to Cannes?"

“……”

Lao Jiang glanced at Chu Qing, what kind of professional level is this? However, he also gave face, and said: "Open a pie, I'm basically an old friend catching up." During the day, I was cutting in the hotel, and I moved all the machines over. Then I have to meet some film companies, but the main thing is to cut the film, and we want to make it as much as possible in the Chinese New Year file. ”

"Director Najia, what do you think of "Let the Bullets Fly"?" Journalists shift targets.

Lao Jia blinked his small eyes and said seriously: "The film hasn't come out yet, so it's too early to say that the evaluation is too early." I just regret it, because he called me earlier and asked me to play a role. Hey, I'm dying of joy! I thought someone had finally discovered my acting talent! But when the movie started, I hadn't received any news yet, so I asked, and my role was changed to a woman. ”

"Poof!"

Reporter Yile asked, "Is this true?" ”

"Really! Director Jia's acting skills are fine, but I have to consider the audience's receptivity. "That goods also have a stern face.

Then, the reporter turned to Chu Qing again and said, "I heard that "Sword Rain" is also being released in the Chinese New Year, are you worried about the crash?" ”

He didn't answer, and asked Jiang Wen instead: "Are you worried?" ”

"If you think it's bigger than our wrists, then I don't have anything to say." The creature laughed.

Jia Zhangke hugged the bottom in time and asked the reporter: "Hey, Brother Fa, Uncle Ge, Lao Jiang, Qingzi, who do you think has a big wrist?" ”

"Uh......"

The reporter wanted to cry, but under the teasing of three old men, he had to retreat in defeat.

After she flashed, Jiang Wencai looked around and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Any news? ”

"I didn't get the letter, but you did?" Chu Qing knew what he was asking.

"No, this is not waiting for your golden mouth! Now colleagues in the literary and artistic circles, who doesn't regard you as a bodhisattva? ”

"Cut!"

Chu Qing took a sip and whispered: "Before I got on the plane, Tong Gang suddenly asked me for dinner, and I saw his attitude, I should have eyebrows." ”

"You say, is this time good or bad?" Jia Zhangke asked.

Jiang Wen said: "It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, we are all meat on the chopping board, just look at how much you cut and how little you cut." ”

“……”

The three of them were suddenly silent, and after half a sound, they all sighed.

……

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Chu Qing returned to the hotel.

Fan Xiaoye had just come back, and his makeup hadn't been removed yet, and when he saw his husband, he shouted: "I'm starving!" ”

He tossed a paper bag and said, "Well, I'll bring you two burgers." ”

"You're messing around in the middle of the night, just let me eat a burger!" She muttered a special sigh.

"Tsk, there are so many delicious things at the cocktail party, who do you blame for not eating it yourself?"

"Fart! Where do you see who eats with a plate? Your first day here? She yelled.

The film festival is like this, the busy chatter affects the relationship, the two of them have a hard day, and they both want to find each other to relieve themselves. As a result, you are tired, I am even more tired, and I don't have the heart to show affection.

As soon as the anger rushes, there is a tendency to quarrel.

Chu Qing was stable in the end, and said, "Okay, let's take a bath first, where are you going tomorrow?" ”

"Dior in the morning, L'Oréal in the afternoon!"

Fan Xiaoye threw off his high heels and scolded badly: "Go to a special drinking party!" ”

"Ouch!"

He hugged his daughter-in-law and coaxed: "Take a bath and sleep, we can only sleep for five hours, and if you grind again, you won't even have five hours." ”

"Then you hug me!" She's coquettish again.

Chu Qing couldn't do it, just picked up his daughter-in-law and walked two steps, when he heard the mobile phone ringing. Fan Xiaoye took it in his hand and asked, "Who is this?" ”

He looked at the caller's name, paused for two seconds before reacting, and Pia threw his daughter-in-law away, and then said, "Hey? Sister Hou! (To be continued.) )
