Beijing, Huayi Company.

In the elegant office, two people sat on a small wooden table with a page of paper on it. Huayi's boss Dong Ping was smoking a cigarette and looked at Jiang Wen opposite, Jiang Wen was also smoking, but his eyes were aimed at the floor.

The two of them didn't say a word, it was like two cigarette tubes burning, and the room was filled with a thick smell of dust.

"Smack!"

Jiang Wen's hand fell on the wooden table suddenly, and the five fingers that were slightly stubby and short were spread, pressing the page stiffly, and said in a dumb voice: "How can I, Jiang Wen, be able to afford the name of the country and the people, this guy looks up to me too much!" ”

"Don't hold on, think about what to do now?" Dong Ping spat out another puff of cigarette.

"What to do? You ask me? Jiang Wen pointed at himself, squinting his eyes.

In other words, it has been almost two years since "The Devil is Coming" has gone from revising the script to preparing for filming, and now to the present. Finally, at the end of last year, the late stage was completely completed.

In this process, the domestic media have been tracking and reporting. Because Lao Jiang's last movie is so powerful, that those who have a little bit of contact with this industry are very much looking forward to its release.

Fans are undoubtedly the most enthusiastic, but they may be accustomed to that rhythm, from the start of filming to the release of the film within a year. has been dragged out very impatiently by the long production cycle of "The Devil is Coming".

At the beginning of this year, Xu was leaked from the people, or broke the news from the media, anyway, all kinds of speculations about this movie began to bubble up one after another. These news are like squeezing toothpaste, and a little bit will be revealed every few days, and no one knows whether it is true or not.

Jiang Wen and his team didn't care about such rumors at first, just like children playing, they passed in the blink of an eye, and they didn't do any substantial damage until the anonymous letter appeared.

"Deliberately erasing the fact that our army and people joined hands to resist the war, beautify the Japanese army's aggressive face, and highlight the ignorance and lowness of the people...... This crime is comparable to the traitor and the thief......"

I don't know which grandson did it. Directly voted it to the General Administration, and I saw it all up and down, and it was even fried among the people. Fortunately, Jiang Wen and Dong Ping had friends there, and they leaked some rumors, and they also made a copy and brought it over.

At this time, Lao Jiang really couldn't sit still.

The General Administration is actually not stupid, and knows that what it is doing is offending people. Therefore, in addition to the obvious political sensitivity, their attitude towards those directors and films is "the people do not raise it, and the officials do not hold it accountable." ”

For example, Grange Zhuang filmed "Blue Kite". That was his own death, forbidden for ten years.

Zhang Yuan filmed "Beijing Hybrid", was sued and banned for five years.

Jia Zhangke filmed "Xiao Wu", but he was also sued and banned for five years.

Lou Ye's filming of "Suzhou River" does not involve politics, and no one sues, so it is just an ordinary ban. No punishment was imposed on him. As a result, this product was lucky, and as soon as his brain was opened, he filmed "Summer Palace" again, and was banned for five years.

Right now. Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming" not only violated the construction of spiritual civilization, but was also sued, and both of them were very good.

In fact, he also has a fluke mentality. Because although the last "Sunny Day" was also banned, it was quickly lifted, and it also won tens of millions of box office. This made Lao Jiang have a fantasy. is that you can continue to pretend to make this kind of film.

It was with this fantasy that he dared to carry the notebook to submit it for review and got the shooting permit. It was all beautiful before, but when it was the end, I didn't know which link went wrong, and all these pickled things came out at once.

"Chairman, the reporter you asked is here."

When the two of them were arguing, the secretary knocked on the door and came in and reminded them.

"Got it, you take him to the small conference room first." Dong Ping commanded, extinguished the cigarette butt, and sighed: "Let's go." ”

"I'm not going!" Jiang Wen leaned against the sand and wrapped his arms around him.

"Let's go! Although it is not very useful, but when it is reported, it can at least give the audience some confidence. ”

"Giving the audience confidence? You tease me! Jiang Wen sneered.

"Okay, okay! Give the bank some confidence, okay? Dong Ping didn't have a problem with him, and made a gesture of please.

Jiang Wen looked at him for a while, his two short eyebrows slowly relaxed, and he also sighed and raised his buttocks.

Small meeting room.

The three of them sat very loosely, the reporter who came was an influential newsweekly, and the secretary poured tea and closed the door and retreated.

The reporter worked very hard, didn't talk nonsense, and asked to the point.

"Now there are a lot of malicious rumors about this movie, and some people even say that it is an underground movie, what do you think?"

Dong Ping sat upright and said, "This is a ridiculous statement. "The Devil is Coming" is submitted for approval step by step according to the normal procedure, and there is a filming permit, otherwise we would not dare to vote for the large-scale production of 20 or 30 million yuan. ”

The reporter asked again: "It is said that someone wrote an anonymous letter to the competent authorities, distorting Jiang Wen's motives for making this movie." And I think that the film will not dare to be submitted for review at all, because the General Administration has long held back, and as long as it is submitted for review, it will be killed. ”

"Practices like anonymous letters are not new, and many good films have been vilified in this way before. We kept in touch with the General Directorate during the filming process, and recently they also heard this rumor and were very surprised. The leaders concerned said, how can we be so irresponsible? Before I saw the movie, I was holding back and wanted to be shot......"

Jiang Wen's face was expressionless, looking at the questions and answers of the two of them in rehearsal, his heart felt like a fire was burning, and his entire chest was about to be torn apart.

The interview was very short, and in the end, Dong Ping looked forward to the good expectations and confidence in the prospects of the film market, gave him enough carriage and horse expenses, and personally sent him to the elevator.

Jiang Wen returned to the conference room and strode in, his palms "snapped" on the wooden table, and his rough shoulders trembled slightly.

"Don't take a bad shot of me, mahogany." Dong Ping is a businessman, obviously more accustomed to these than him, much calmer.

Jiang Wen turned around suddenly, like an angry male bear, and roared: "It's just a stone in a pile of dung pits, and I stink so much that I have to drag others to die together!" ”

…………

Evening, both airports.

It takes about ten hours to fly from Amsterdam to the capital, and it was already dark when Chu Qing and his party got off the plane. I have been here for more than ten days, and I feel full and tired. It's strange that when you're away from home, whether you're in a happy mood or sad, there's always a sense of satisfaction when you get home.

"Aoko. Where are you going? We send you. ”

Ne An told the staff of the company to drive to pick them up, and as soon as they passed the exit, the driver came up. Lou Ye saw Chu Qing standing in place, without any intention of leaving, so he spoke.

"No, I also have a friend to pick you up, take yours." Chu Qing said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go first, bye-bye." Lou Ye knew that he couldn't lie, so he waved his hand happily.

"Bye-bye!" Chu Qing also waved his hand. Watch as these guys get into a black Honda, turn two corners, and disappear from sight.

Today is February 2nd, and the 4th is Chinese New Year's Eve, and he seems to have been busy until the Spring Festival in the past few years. But looking back, I feel that I haven't done anything, and I'm tossing around.

But also, he has no plan for his career exhibition at all. Wherever you go, it counts. can get to the point where I am today, and I already feel that I have stepped on a big piece of shit.

"Brother Chu Qing!"

About ten minutes after Lou Ye left, he heard someone shouting on the other side of the road. He looked up and saw Huang Ying standing next to a taxi. I am waving my arms vigorously.

"You don't wear more."

Chu Qing carried the box over and couldn't help but blame. The girl was wearing only a jacket, and after standing for a while, she was shivering with cold.

"The down jacket was washed." Huang Ying smiled and helped him put the box away. I got in the car.

"You usually go shopping, buy clothes and shoes. If you feel that a person is boring, let the girl accompany you. It just so happens that I don't like to go shopping with her yet. Chu Qing sat in the back seat, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Her current monthly salary, not to mention how high it is, at least makes many people envious. Even if you have to send it home to your mother, the rest is enough to save a small treasury. But it's just simple, and the down jacket was bought during the summer mall sale.

Huang Ying smiled and asked, "Are the soldiers coming back for the New Year?" ”

"Their crew has two days off, one day for thirty children, and one day for the first day of the new year." Chu Qing plucked out her ears and said helplessly: "She will go back to Jiaodong directly, but she can't afford it." ”

As he spoke, he remembered it again and asked, "Hey, won't you go back and have a look?" ”

"It's so hard to buy tickets, the family is very good, and it's nothing." Huang Ying saw him digging and digging, so she took off the keychain, twisted out an ear scoop, handed it to him, and said, "Besides, there are many guests these days, so I still stay to help." ”

Chu Qing took a small spoon and poked it in the ears and eyes, it was so crisp and itchy that it was so good, scratching back and forth, and said, "Why don't you take your mother over, change to a bigger house, and live together and take care of it." ”

Huang Ying said: "She can't stand this place, so she still farms comfortably in her hometown." ”

The warm air was turned on in the car, and the cold air brought in outside was slowly dispelled. She may have eased up a little, her body was no longer tense, leaned forward slightly, hugged her knees with both hands, swayed gently like a child, and said: "I'm very happy in Uncle Cheng, they all treat me as family, and I don't want to move out by myself, ...... alone."

She chuckled quietly and said, "It's not interesting." ”

Chu Qing looked at her, a little stunned, but actually wanted to say, "Then find a boyfriend." But when these words came out of his own mouth, he felt cheap.

"What are you looking at?" Huang Ying tilted her head and noticed his gaze, which was slightly unnatural.

"I am, I mean," Chu Qing returned the ear spoon to her, and said busily: "You used to be so untalkative, now, now ......"

"It's changed now, hasn't it?" Huang Ying helped him say it, blinked again, and said with a smile: "Because I've grown up too." ”

The car soon drove into the city, the neon gradually flashed densely, many shops hung red lanterns in front of the door, and some of them were pasted with big blessing characters early.

Chu Qing didn't know what this area was called, but looking at the street scenes on both sides, he felt very familiar and friendly.

He was almost hungry for a day, and the plane meal was digested early, so he didn't go home, and followed Huang Ying to Liangwei Ye for a meal first.

There was still a stop or so to go, and the road in front of me was actually blocked, and the eyes were full of red taillights. After waiting for a few minutes, there was no movement, and the two of them simply got out of the car, and it was not far away anyway.

Chu Qing took off her coat, draped it on her, and stepped on the dim street lamp with her suitcase.

Huang Ying looked at the two shadows on the ground, carefully keeping her distance, trying not to make them look intimate. The road next to her was very noisy, but she felt quiet and stuffy, walked for a while, and said, "Are you still going to film when you come back?" ”

Chu Qing's whole body was soaked by the cold, and she just wanted to enter the store quickly to warm up, so she didn't listen to her ask coldly, and said, "Ah! Shoot, it's spring. ”

"Or a movie?"

"Well, the movie."

After asking a few simple questions, Huang Ying was silent again, she really didn't know much about his work, and she was not likely to talk about this topic in ordinary conversations.

After walking for a short time, I arrived at a subway entrance, and a few hundred meters further on, it was the two flavors.

There are a lot of stalls here, selling some egg cakes, meat buns and so on, most of them are eaten, but there is only one difference. The upside-down donkey was covered with wooden planks, which were covered with patches of vnetbsp; This kind of pirated disc has no serious box packaging, just a paper skin and printed with film information.

Chu Qing didn't pay attention to it, and glanced at it casually, but his footsteps stopped. On the stall, in the most conspicuous position, there was a stack of discs, and there were four big words on the cover: The devil is coming.

"Wow!"

Chu Qing smacked his lips, picked up a closer look, and did a good job, with a big photo of Jiang Wen printed on the front, and a brief introduction written on the back: At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Ma Dasan, an honest villager in a remote rural area in the north, met ...... one day

He was a little stunned, what the hell is going on! The film hasn't been released yet, and the piracy has come out first?

"Hey, that's Jiang Wen's latest blockbuster, the goods I just approved. Don't fool people, it's awesome! The stall owner saw that he had the intention of buying, so he hurriedly recommended it.

"How much?"

"Three dollars a piece, two pieces count as five yuan for you, and four pieces are ten dollars, buy more and cheaper!"

Chu Qing took it out, and it was only two yuan for a full pocket of RMB. Huang Ying handed over five yuan next to her, and took a copy of "The King of Comedy" and threw it into her bag.

"Thank you."

Chu Qing said yes, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Wen.

"Hey, Aoko, what's wrong?" His subwoofer-like voice sounded, and he hadn't been in touch for a while, which sounded unpleasant.

"Boss Jiang, what's going on with our piece? I just watched a pirated disc seller on the street. ”

"You, you tell me." Jiang Wen was obviously surprised.

"It's the kind of ten dollars and four sheets, I look at the introduction or something, and there is a portrait of yours on it, that buddy said that the goods just approved."

"Something like me? What, what is it? Jiang Wen's hairs exploded, thinking that the stills had also been secretly leaked out, if that was the case, the movie would be completely over.

It's all thieves!

"Just stand in the bud rice field with your bare arms, uh, is this a bud rice field or a sorghum field...... Well? ”

Chu Qing suddenly reacted that something was wrong, why was Jiang Wen so young here?

"That's Red Sorghum!"

Jiang Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and then became even more angry, and scolded: "Those Wang Ba fuck are not honest in doing piracy!" ”

(I'm also afraid of being banned, Khan.) (To be continued......)
