There is a very delicate problem, that is, the attitude towards his brother and woman.

If it is in a relationship, it is only polite on the surface, but in fact, no one will take it seriously; If you have been dating for a long time and feel very stable, the intimacy will naturally increase a few points, but there is still a limit; If you really plan to get married and become a sister-in-law or younger sister, then OK, this is the same as treating it.

Fan Xiaoye is like this, until today, Chu Qing's friends have raised her importance to the same level as Qingzai.

After the ceremony, she changed into the peacock blue long dress, the man carried a bottle of Wuliangye, the woman carried a bottle of apple brandy, and the two toasted at the table.

The most obvious is that acquaintances such as Lao Jia and Ah Guan have a completely different attitude towards Fan Xiaoye, more casual and warm.

In the daytime, they are busy, and many people still have work in the afternoon, so they are quite modest, drink less and eat less, mainly to watch the ceremony. These guys are all mixed in the circle, and they have long wanted to hook up and make friends, so they just took this opportunity to get together in a bunch of private chats.

There are about forty tables, three or four people per table, and they are tired and panicked just by walking around, and if they really fight down, they will have to drink to death. Chu Qing and Fan Xiaoye just meant it, and they stopped after tasting it, but fortunately, there was no coaxing to pour wine.

More unexpectedly, I really bumped into one, collided with them twice in a row, and they were all dry, it was Zhang Jingchu.

At eleven o'clock, it was almost over, and some people began to say goodbye, and at twelve o'clock, they had all dispersed.

The most tired thing is not the two of them, but the friends in the studio, who are very busy. The girl simply waved her hand and decided to finish filming "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", take a collective holiday for a week, and invite everyone to go to Hong Kong to play.

As for the cost, Chu Qing is all-inclusive over there, okay......

……

In fact, the two of them felt very hard, and the engagement had just been completed. I only had a night's rest, and the next day I had to get into work. You can't hide, even if you want to rest, people will come to you.

Guan Jinpeng was the first to come, and before he returned to Hong Kong, he informed Chu Qing, and by the way, he talked about helping Fan Xiaoye pay attention to the role.

At present, there is really a film, directed by Ma Weihao, starring Louis Koo and Zhang Baizhi. There is a role of a small county lord in it, which is considered a female supporting role, and the role is still successful. But it is a co-production, and the whole process is filmed in the mainland.

The girl knows her positioning, she is just a TV café, and she has no weight in the film industry, let alone the Hong Kong film industry. So I was quite satisfied to be able to mix a female partner, so I nodded and agreed.

In addition to "Hedong Lion's Roar", Chu Qing was not idle, and had already helped her finalize the role of Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend in "Infernal Affairs". It's even smaller. It's purely a trick, just a few shots, Liu Weiqiang is a favor, there is nothing to object to.

The second is Ning Hao. The time of the two finally met.

When Chu Qing drove to a small restaurant near Beiying, he was eating a large plate of chicken with his girlfriend, and at the same time he was holding a large skewer, with a mouth full of oil.

Met him. Ning Hao looked more panicked, not because of the identity of the investor, but because of his own sling. Will it make the other party lose the confidence to throw money.

But then, when the goods saw Chu Qing mix a piece of white-skinned noodles into a large plate of chicken, they were instantly born.

One hanging!

That girlfriend is not good-looking, but her personality is excellent, she never interjects, and only pours tea and water for the two men from time to time.

If the plan of "Incense" has been decided, he will come over to chat casually, at least he has to know the director. The two of them talked nonsense for a long time, and they had a good impression of each other, this one feels that, they are talented and down-to-earth, they know how to judge the situation, and they are very stable; The other feels this, is friendly and polite, has an excellent vision for film selection, and has courage, and it really lives up to its name.

Anyway, it's just a matter of sympathy.

Ning Hao belongs to the kind of director who thinks about investors, and took the initiative to shoot with DV, without film, and keep the money saved to hire actors for post-production.

Chu Qing didn't dare to mention the film, and after investing five million in "Infernal Affairs", it was indeed a bit tight to open two dramas at the same time with his remaining capital.

In the end, the two reached a consensus on several points:

"Incense" is planned to start filming in winter, the location is in Jinzhong, he helped to build up the group, and invested 200,000 yuan in advance, as for the actors or anything, it doesn't matter, the director will find it himself.

The cycle must be completed within a month, and by January next year.

The conditions are actually quite harsh, but Ning Hao is so happy, in his opinion, this is the filmmaker's greatest trust in himself.

……

After talking about "Incense", Chu Qing stayed until the 27th, during which there was nothing to do. "Infernal Affairs" had been launched in Hong Kong, and a phone call was made, but on the first night of the return trip, a third guy reappeared.

Li Yang, who studied at the Beijing Broadcasting Institute in the 80s, later went to Germany to study and made a lot of documentaries, which is famous. I just recently returned to China and plan to make a movie.

This was recommended by Jia Zhangke, not to attract investment, but for Chu Qing, to invite him to go out to film.

That's right, it's out of the mountain.

Although he has only been in Hong Kong for more than a year, he has felt that it has been a long time in China, and as the No.1 in the mainland's independent film industry, he has never received any films after "Anyang Baby".

So he was also surprised that there were still people in this stall who dared to find himself as the protagonist, and what was even more surprising was that Li Yang saw himself, and his first sentence was:

"I don't have any money."

He was stating the facts very calmly, with long hair, not so much like a director, but like a painter or musician, and said: "All my money is borrowed, just enough for the minimum standard of filming, I can't afford to hire you, but I think that only you can play this role well, so ...... You can look at the script first. ”

"Uh, okay, I'll see."

Chu Qing feels quite interesting, he has seen a lot of directors, and he is a good person, even if it is Jia Zhangke, he also plays tricks with himself from time to time.

But the person in front of me is not at all like the attitude that a person in his forties should have, almost a simple sincerity: as long as you believe in others, you can do things well.

And it is precisely because of this attitude that he has a very good impression of Li Yang in the first place.

The script is very thick, many places are sketched with a pen, and the title page is printed with two large characters: "Blind Well".

Chu Qing held the notebook, flipped through the pages one by one, from the introduction at the beginning, from the first paragraph, from the first sentence, the spirit was extremely concentrated:

"In 2001, when an accidental collapse of a coal mine in western Guangxi killed more than 40 miners, the mine owner secretly buried the bodies and evaded all responsibility. This is just one of many similar incidents in China, where more than 7,000 coal miners die each year as a result of work-related accidents, and more are covered up in public figures......

Seeing this, he thought it was a documentary, but as the content of the story revealed little by little, he realized that this was far more cold and piercing than a documentary.

If it comes to reflecting social problems, Lao Jia, Wang Xiaoshuai, and Wang Chao are all masters, but the so-called change and confusion in "Xiao Wu", the so-called youth restlessness in "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle", and the so-called urban portrait in "Anyang Baby...... Compared with "Blind Well", she is like a little girl singing a song, carefree.

Chu Qing read it three times and was silent.

For the first time, he felt extremely shocked because of a script, and for the first time, he felt great sadness because of several characters.

"Did you write this book, or did you change it according to the truth?"

"There is one point, I went to many places to collect information in the first half of the year, such as Ning*Xia and Henan*nan, I went to the most."

Li Yang took out a box of cigarettes, first signaled slightly, and when he saw the other party's permission, he lit the fire and said: "Those mine owners thought I was a reporter and put a gun to my head. Bai Dao is better, just keep asking, what are you doing, why do you want to shoot this, you shoot this thing, you must take it outside to make a lot of money, you have to divide me first......"

It seemed very funny, but Chu Qing didn't laugh, the sadness became more and more magnified, and he heard the other party continue: "I shoot this film, there is no big reason, I just want to shoot." I spent two months with the miners, and they never wanted to live or die, and they saw it very well. Money is needed for food, money is needed for children to go to school, there is no other way to live, and when they die, they die. ”

Li Yang opened his hand, slowly gestured, and said, "I asked them what the mining disaster was like?" And they said unto me, Two stones, with a piece of flesh in between. ”

“……”

He didn't say a word, lit a cigarette, and watched the sparks flicker.

Conscience is not far away, nor is it great, maybe you have forgotten, hidden, discarded, but there will always be a moment when your whole body is screaming, and your blood is boiling.

Chu Qing never felt that he was great, but at this moment, he clearly felt that his heart was pounding.

He looked at Li Yang, pursed his lips, and said, "I'll take it." ”

(slag state, depressed...... (To be continued......)
