Fang Li is a native of Shuzhong.

In the 80s, he went to the United States to study, and later got a green card and founded an industrial company, specializing in the development and sales of geophysical instruments, and he was also a successful person. After returning to China, he inexplicably crossed the border, and this year he built a film and television company in the capital, called Laurel.

He is from a financial background and does not understand the film industry at all, but it does not hinder his simple love for images. It's a great feeling because it belongs to the category of feelings.

Nowadays, it is difficult for people to understand the word feelings, and only the changing and legendary era will give birth to a group of romantic and stubborn idealists. On the contrary, in a society where the material is stable and the spirit is impetuous, it is nonsense to talk about feelings or something.

Fang Li is almost fifty years old, and he happens to pass through the times, as he himself said, "When Kennedy was assassinated, I was playing table tennis, and he would be an enemy of the people." During the Cuban Missile Crisis, I burned American flags in the streets and acted in live newspaper dramas. And more than twenty years later, I mourn Kennedy's memorial ......"

Therefore, his choice and dedication to movies is that he really wants to share them with others and enjoy them. As for the money, it doesn't matter if you can earn the best, it doesn't matter if you don't earn it, anyway, your company's profits are enough to lose.

With this, Wang Chao successfully fooled him ashore and became an investor and producer of "Anyang Baby".

In fact, Fang Li just felt that the writer young man was quite energetic, and it was not easy, so he ran around in order to make a movie, bowing his head and begging for help. Investing hundreds of thousands of dollars can help him finish the movie, so he will help him, and he doesn't think about recovering the cost at all.

As for Wang Chao, a literati's stinky problem, wilted. The price he quoted was purely deceitful, hundreds of thousands of yuan, at most enough to finish the filming, and he didn't count it at all in the later stage. What's even more fucked up. Ya didn't even have a license, Fang Li didn't know.

Along the way, this product kept telling Chu Qing, don't say it's missing, don't say it's missing...... Chu Qing is under a lot of pressure, such a blatant white wolf with empty gloves, he hasn't done this job.

Laure's home field is not big, a little smaller than Fan Xiaotian's company. Fang Li is like a little old man, very kind and gentle. If you don't speak, you laugh for three minutes.

"Brother Fang, let me introduce, this is Chu Qing, my male protagonist." Wang Chao said.

"Hello, hello, I've heard of it for a long time, I've seen "Suzhou River", it's good!" He laughed.

Chu Qing hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed slightly, and said, "You have won the prize." You can just call me Aoko. ”

"You're welcome, come, sit down."

Fang Li shook his hand and invited him to take a seat. He skillfully brewed two cups of tea and said, "Wang Chao told me at the beginning that he was looking for you to act, and I was relieved when I heard it." Many actors* have joined, but they can't ask for it. I called you today, because there is something I don't understand. Would like to ask. ”

Wang Chao immediately said, "Brother Fang, what are you talking about?" ”

He ignored the goods, turned to Chu Qing, and said, "Qingzi, I watched the news some time ago, and what did I say about you, it seems that you have been blocked, is there such a thing?" ”

Wang Chao's heart trembled suddenly, pursed his lips, and secretly complained.

Chu Qing blinked, slightly calmer than him. Who is stupid these days, even overseas compatriots understand the national situation, so they have to tell the truth, saying: "Uh, yes, I am making movies and TV series now, and the chances of being released are not too big." ”

Fang Li nodded, and said: "Yesterday I played mahjong, a card friend happened to be in the circle, I heard that I voted for your film, so I asked if I had a shooting permit, what's going on with this thing, I really don't know." ”

Chu Qing was drinking tea with a cup, and he almost didn't squirt out, okay, this brother's little calculation, before he could put it away, he was properly killed in seconds.

If the film is yellow, of course he will be a pity, but it is a pity that the 80,000 yuan is paid. Unlike that one, people's dreams have been smashed on it.

"The filming permit is, it is the approval issued by the Film Bureau, and it can only be released if it is released." Wang Chaote was embarrassed, after all, this thing was not kind, and it was a different way.

"Film Bureau?" Fang Li was stunned, obviously he hadn't heard of this department, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Oh, without this license, making movies is illegal, right?" ”

"Uh...... Right. ”

He reluctantly admitted, a strong sense of frustration gushing out of his heart. Although the two have signed a contract, he deliberately conceals key facts, and the other party can sue for invalidity.

Fang Li was noncommittal, and after asking, he took a sip of tea slowly, glanced at him, and suddenly asked, "Hey, have you found that heroine?" ”

"I'm talking about one at the moment, a Chinese opera, and it's also an old actor." Wang Chao hung his head and said.

"Okay, I believe in your vision."

He knocked on the armrest of the sofa and said, "Two months to prepare, start in early October, what do you think?" ”

Wang Chao raised his head suddenly, licked his lips, and continued: "It's definitely okay in October." ”

"Well, that's fine."

Fang Li stood up, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'm in for a treat, it's noon." ”

……

Chu Qing's current identity is very delicate, ordinary people dare not invite, and those who dare to invite are all strange.

Three types of people are the most typical:

One is Fang Li, an intruder from outside, who doesn't understand the rules and does things according to his preferences;

One is Lao Jia, a complete black household;

One is Wang Xiaoshuai, who is in the gray area between the system and the individual.

Speaking of domestic movies in the past, it was called a planned economy.

There is an indicator of how many films the film studio makes every year, the state invests money, you complete the task, one more is not good, and one less is troublesome. Who cares whether the market is good or not, even if there is no market at all, it doesn't matter.

Like the fifth generation, is it possible for Mao to mix the wind and water? Just because they are affiliated with the names of various film studios, they are rooted and have a complete monopoly on industry resources.

But in the sixth generation, the mountain has already been carved up, and the bitter self-made man is gradually awakening, so he thinks: We don't need the state to take money, we raise money and shoot it ourselves, so we don't need censorship.

Later, I found out that this idea is stupid*forced, even if the state doesn't take the money, you have to include it in the plan.

The so-called industrialized market economy probably started in 2003, and as for this, it was only 2000, and it was in a period of change. Although there has been an injection of private capital in the country, and companies under certain institutions are allowed to make films. However, the ownership of movies is hard and fast and cannot be attributed to individuals.

If you make a film, if you don't want to be a black account, you don't have enough money to bring in, you have to find indicators. For example, Beijing Film Studio has more than 20 indicators every year, and it has to find ways to mix in and hang it.

For example, "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" is a standard urban-rural junction product.

It is obviously funded from Taiwan and a small part of France, but the copyright must be given to the studio. You pay the money. Then someone sells the factory label to you.

What's even more disgusting is that because the ownership of the film is too vague, it is often extremely strict when it is submitted for review. It's as if you're happy to take the money and beg someone to trap you.

Looking for abuse!

Therefore, don't look at the name of the third master hanging on the producer column of "Bicycle", that is a tablet for use. It is Taiwan's filmmaker who really spends money on things, Jiao Xiongping's eldest sister.

The base is thin. The content is not harmonious, Wang Xiaoshuai didn't have any hope of passing the trial, so he dared to find Chu Qing to make a cameo.

……

At the beginning of August, it is summer in the capital.

Chu Qing rode a bicycle to the set. The previous broken car was disposed of and replaced with a new one. I'm usually busy chattering, and I don't ride much, so I go out to walk around when I'm idle.

The community is not close to Shichahai. After riding for more than 30 minutes, I finally found a place. It is said that the crew ran for half a year and searched every alley in the capital. Only in this ancient alley group. The big trees that shade the sun, the old people sitting idly at the door, the children chasing and making trouble, and even motor vehicles are rare...... It's completely different from the outside city, and it has a nostalgic atmosphere.

He belongs to the cameo, a two-day play, and today is the first day. I haven't seen the complete book.,I'm confused.,I don't know what to shoot.,I don't know what this movie is about.。

"Hey Qingzi, what about this!" Wang Xiaoshuai looked at him from afar and hurriedly waved his hand.

"Handsome guy!" Chu Qing also waved his hand, got out of the car in front of him, and asked, "You're not late, are you?" ”

"No, it's early." He smiled, looked left and right again, and shouted, "Where is Xiao Cui?" Where did you go? ”

"Maybe I bought a drink." Someone over there replied.

"Children are too uncomfortable." He shook his head and said, "You wait a minute, I'll get you the script." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Qing responded casually, raising his eyes and looking at the surrounding environment.

This is the intersection of two alleys, the intersection of the roadside of the fork has a board house, bricks and tiles, wooden planks and iron sheets, at first glance it is a mixed style of illegal construction.

He went into the house and took a look, there were two small rooms, which were piled up with miscellaneous items, and the outside was full of cigarettes, alcohol and snacks, which should be a commissary.

Passing through the house, there was a back door, and in front of me stood a high wall, which was comically missing a brick and leaking a palm-sized hole. I looked at it, and the walls were full of exquisite big houses, bright and bright, white and tender buildings, shining with the cold style of the rich area.

The small hole was facing the floor-to-ceiling windows of a mansion, and the balcony furnishings could be seen clearly. He couldn't help grinning, what a shameful scene, properly satisfying the voyeur's perverted selfish desires.

"Aoko, here you go!"

As soon as Chu Qing came out, he saw Wang Xiaoshuai holding two thin pieces of paper and greeting him.

"Is this today's play?"

"Yes, three in the morning and two in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll see." Chu Qing twisted the two-page script, and felt that it was very interesting, as if he had returned to the rookie stage, and everything was fresh to watch.

"There are a lot of lines, you try to memorize them as much as possible, let's shoot in about 40 minutes...... Hey, Cui! Wang Xiaoshuai was saying this, and shouted suddenly across the road.

"Director!"

A dark-skinned, green-faced young man immediately ran over, with a can of Coke in his hand and the smell of frost.

"Let me introduce you, this is Chu Qing, playing your brother in the play."

"Brother Qing!" The lad looked very polite.

"His name is Cui Lin, he is only eighteen years old, he studies sports, Qingzi, you should take care of it more."

"It's okay, don't worry, take it with you." Chu Qing said with a smile, looking at the little fresh meat in front of him, he instantly felt that he was an old cabbage bongzi.

Sad!

After Wang Xiaoshuai finished explaining, he hurriedly went to prepare. Cui Lin seemed a little nervous, sitting on the side, gulping Coke, with a thick notebook spread out on his lap.

"Xiao Cui, you'd better drink less, you still have to eat noodles when you can film, your stomach will definitely be uncomfortable." Chu Qing couldn't help but remind.

"Ah, I, I didn't pay attention, I'm sorry." He put down the can and stammered.

Chu Qing smiled. Keep your head down and continue to memorize the words.

The character settings in the play are very simple, and even the names are not complete, like Cui Lin's character, there is only one word, expensive. Full name, Xiaogui......

He played Xiaogui's brother, in fact, he was originally an uncle, maybe Wang Xiaoshuai was kind, and with a big stroke, he reduced his age by a few years.

Authentic rural people. opened a commissary in the capital alone, starving not to death, but to make do with life. The only enjoyment is to peek through the hole in the wall and peek into the floor-to-ceiling window of a beautiful woman who likes to change clothes.

The woman didn't write her name either, just replaced it with the word "qin".

Forty minutes passed quickly, and he memorized it a few times, and it felt almost there. Wang Xiaoshuai was also prepared and sat in the director's chair. Gesture to the deputy.

"Guys in place!"

“Action！”

At the back door of the commissary, Chu Qing and Cui Lin each held a bowl of noodles, snoring and eating deliciously.

"Well, you eat a piece of meat. Nutrition nutrition. ”

He spoke a fairly passing dialect and sandwiched a piece of meat for Cui Lin.

Then, wandering a few random steps, I reached the corner. Turning his head and sweeping into the hole, his face immediately became excited, and he gestured with chopsticks. Said: "Hey, come on, come on, look, do you see?" ”

Cui Lin didn't know why, so he squeezed in front of the gap with him and looked inside.

The script reads: In the floor-to-ceiling window, there is a lonely woman with bright clothes and bright makeup. But women, absolutely not now, can only rely on acting skills to make up for it and use imagination.

"This is the people in the city, they are not satisfied with living in such a big house, and they don't have a smiling face all day long." While stirring the noodles, he said in pieces: "If this were me, I would drink sugar water every day." ”

He snorted vigorously as he spoke, emphasizing: "Brown sugar water!" ”

Chu Qing's mouth was stuffed full, the oil was shining, he peeked again, suddenly knocked on the edge of the bowl, and was more excited than before, and said, "Hey, look, she has changed her set again!" ”

Cui Lin squinted his eyes, was also very focused, and commented: "This woman is quite beautiful." ”

"Isn't that pretty? Let's see if it's not illegal, right? ”

"Do you know her?"

"She's just coming here to change the soy sauce here." Chu Qing twisted his neck, didn't look away at all, and said: "Xiaogui, look, the women in the city, they will have a lot of clothes as soon as they change, and they will be wasted!" ”

After speaking, I didn't listen to the reaction, and when I saw the thing staring at it, I was stupid, and I couldn't help kicking it lightly, and said, "Okay, don't look at it, it's not good for your body and mind to see too much." ”

Cui Lin didn't move.

He kicked him again and shouted, "Go to work!" ”

"Over!"

Wang Xiaoshuai shouted, secretly praised in his heart, worthy of being strongly recommended by the circle of friends, it is really reliable!

This scene is simply clean and neat, the expressions, postures, tone, and small actions that play by themselves are all natural and unobtrusive. What's even more rare is that Cui Lin's somewhat wooden performance, driven by him, actually added a little aura.

"Aoko, good, very good!" He clapped his hands, turned his head and said, "Xiao Cui, you are not bad." ”

Chu Qing finished eating the remaining noodles, wiped his mouth, and said depressedly: "I said brother, who is that woman, you have to find someone at least to come, I can't just act in front of the air." ”

"She's the afternoon play, don't worry." Wang Xiaoshuai said with a smile.

……

Chu Qing's three scenes, the plan was to shoot in the morning. As a result, it only took more than an hour, and it was all done. The woman who played the play didn't come again, so she was just idle, ran to the door of someone's house, and played chess with an old man.

Wang Xiaoshuai was very excited, surprised, and embarrassed at the same time, and kept urging the assistant: "What time did she say it will be there?" You will contact again. ”

"Brother, I've called three times, and they've already set off, and they'll be there in ten minutes." The assistant is helpless, and he has been in the circle for a few years, and he saw the director crazy because the actor was not NG......

Over there, after Chu Qing killed the old man without leaving a piece of armor, he came back satisfied.

He felt that he was extremely explosive, in fact, it had not been long since the completion of "Platform", but so many unpleasant things had happened, so that when he faced the camera again, he felt that he had been away for a long time, and the cells in his whole body were excited, as if he was going to swallow a qiē alive.

And the most direct embodiment of this kind of unobtrusive willfulness is to kill a rookie in seconds. Cui Lin looked at him like a little star.

The young man has never studied acting, so he doesn't know what it's like to really enter the state of acting, but just now, he couldn't help but be driven by him and went through the most wonderful experience.

"Hey Brother Qing, you kicked me just now, it wasn't in the script, how did you come up with it?" Cui Lin dragged him and got to the bottom of it.

"Well, that's a natural reaction."

Chu Qing pondered for a while, and had to explain: "Look, what about the person I played, he is not a pure honest person, right?" ”

"yes, yes."

"He always has such a commotion, thinking about this and thinking about women all the time, and he will not be very regular. Put him in the situation just now, I think, he is likely to kick Xiaogui...... I don't know if I understand. ”

Cui Lin lowered his head, thought silently for a while, and suddenly said, "Ah! is like Xiaogui, who is very boring, stubborn, admits death, and doesn't like to talk. So when he argues with others, he only repeats one sentence over and over again. That's what you call a natural reaction, right? ”

"Yo, that's interesting."

Chu Qing was slightly surprised, boy, the profession of an actor is not blind, he is talented, and he immediately became interested, and then said: "If you think about it again, you ......"

As he said this, he suddenly heard the sound of the heels of his shoes clicking on the ground behind him, and the broken small gravel pavement, grinding against the soles of his shoes, was not crisp, but a little rough and harsh.

Chu Qing turned his head, and the voice stopped instantly.

A few meters away, stepping on a pair of red high heels, up, is a thin belly, and then up, the small skeleton, draped in a fiery red dress, fluctuates a little bewitching.

Zhou Gongzi tilted his head, his straight black hair hung down, and said with a smile: "Hey, it turns out that you are also here." (To be continued......)
