"You sit first!"
Chu Qing saw him running in in a hurry, and threw out a sentence without a head, he couldn't help but reach out and press it, and said, "Say it slowly, what's going on?" ”
"Didn't I send it for trial last month, I said that it was 20 days to reply to the letter, but now it's been a month, and there is still no movement."
Ning Hao's half of his ass was on the sofa, his big swarthy face was twisted, and he said worriedly: "I asked a friend to ask yesterday, and he just replied to me, saying that there is a lot of opinion within the Film Bureau, and it is likely to be killed directly." ”
"Huh?"
Chu Qing's heart was also twitching, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll make a call first." ”
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Wu Ke, saying, "Hey, Wu Ju...... Hehe, I'm fine, I'm just asking, what's going on with "No Man's Land", I'm still waiting for news here......"
“……”
Then, I don't know what the other party said, he suddenly stopped talking. After another moment, he hung up the phone, without any expression, but his eyes were sinking little by little.
"Brother ......"
Ning Hao didn't know what was going on, so he had to call carefully. Chu Qing suddenly came back to his senses, swiped the car keys, and said, "Let's go, follow me to the movie bureau!" ”
"Huh? Oh! ”
Ning Hao was stunned and hurriedly followed behind.
The two of them drove all the way, swaying back and forth on the speeding baseline, as if in the blink of an eye, they stopped at the door of the film bureau with a creak.
"May I ask you ......?"
Uncle Qin of the concierge was still so loyal, Chu Qing didn't stop his steps, and said, "I'm looking for Wu Ke, and I made an appointment!" ”
Without waiting for the other party's reaction, Ya strode away and went straight to the courtyard. Emma, Ning Hao's heart trembled, this kind of rhythm of smashing the field is too much, too much, too square!
Wu Ke's office is in the innermost part of a house. It is much smaller than the one in Tonggang, and the furnishings are very simple.
When they entered the door, they were slowly sipping a cup of oolong tea and met the two of them. Showing a little surprise, he said, "Why are you here, I didn't make it clear on the phone?" ”
"I really didn't hear clearly, so I wanted to come and ask." Chu Qing stared at each other, his face was like a puddle of water.
Sizzle!
Ning Hao swears. I've known the boss for several years, and I've never heard him speak in this tone, so I suddenly felt excited and automatically pretended to be a dog.
Wu Ke was a person, of course, he felt his dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "Don't be so angry, come, sit down." ”
"Sensei sits!"
Chu Qing waved his hand and said, "Old Wu! Director Wu! If we have a relationship, you can tell the truth. What is wrong with "No Man's Land"? ”
“……”
Seeing his attitude, Wu Ke also put away his smile and said, "Xiao Chu, what I told you is the truth." We don't have a specific opinion, but we just can't! ”
you Malegobi!
Seriously, Chu Qing has never been so popular, what does it mean to have "no opinion"? What does it mean to "just not work"?
The "Regulations on the Administration of Films" clearly stated:
1. The review committee shall make a decision within 20 working days. If it is qualified, a "Film Review Decision" and a "Film Release Permit" will be issued. If it is unqualified or needs to be amended, it shall be explained in the Decision. and notify the filmmaker.
2. If the film party is not satisfied, it can submit an application for review within 30 days of receiving the "Decision Letter". The review board shall issue a review opinion within 20 days.
It's black and white. The big seal of the red head! What is the result, I will tell you grandly, no!
In 1996, Lu Xuechang took "How Steel is Made", which was later "Growing Up", to submit it for review, and said the same at the time: The Film Bureau has no specific opinions. But it just doesn't work.
It's 2009, and after 13 years, it's still possible to kill a movie for such a trumped-up reason.
"Hoo ......"
He took a few deep breaths in a row before suppressing the urge to flip the table and said, "Okay, you give me the "Review Decision", and I want to submit it for review. ”
As soon as he heard this, Wu Ke suddenly changed color, with a hint of unhappiness, and said: "You should know in your heart that even if your movie is reviewed, it will not be possible." The problem of "No Man's Land" is not shallow, and it has a kind of strict consciousness defect throughout the text. Xiao Chu, you have always been a good actor who takes the overall situation into account and is positive, don't be confused for a while. ”
The meaning of the words is to decide the book, no! To revise the opinion, there is none! Anyway, go back to face the wall, put your attitude right, and then roll back.
“……”
Chu Qing pursed his lips and slowly closed his eyes, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and in this secret, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
He really wants to scold, go to the special overall situation, I'm a moviemaker! I just want to make a good story and let the audience see it.
But no, he has a family, a business, a company, and a film festival that's being studied.
“……”
Ning Hao shrank beside him, only to feel that the air in the room was getting heavier and heavier, and it was heavier and heavier on his heart. He raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qing, where he was standing alone, at that moment, he was extremely sad.
After a long while, the man slowly spoke: "Okay, let's go back first." ”
Bang!
The stone in Wu Ke's heart fell to the ground, and he was really afraid that the other party would not give up, with this guy's status and connections, the Film Bureau would definitely have a headache.
He got up immediately and sent it to the gate before he said, "Xiao Chu, you are an understanding person." "No Man's Land" is a good film, but it is not a film that conforms to national conditions, you can change it a little bit. ”
“……”
Chu Qing waved his hand, he really didn't want to say any more.
On the way back, Ning Hao never dared to say anything, and when he was about to arrive at the company, he said: "Brother Qing, I'd better change it, otherwise it will be too troublesome." ”
"You want to make a make-up?" He understood in seconds.
"Well, I'll contact Brother Zheng and Tang Wei, and it will be done in three or four days. I'm fine, don't worry! Ning Hao comforted him instead, and then asked weakly: "Brother, you don't seem to be right today, why are you so angry?" ”
“……”
Chu Qing didn't answer, just looked at the road ahead, and when Ning Hao thought that he wouldn't answer, he seemed to be talking to himself, and he didn't seem to be able to talk, and said:
"When I filmed "Xiao Wu" in 97, there was no market, I couldn't make money, and the censorship was very strict. Later, it slowly got better, blockbusters one after another, Lao Jia and they didn't have to hide underground, and the censorship was loose. Seeing that this market is booming day by day, anyone who makes movies is happy, but today I realized, heh, nothing has changed. ”
…………
It is normal for a person's opinion to be right and wrong, but just because his opinion is wrong, he should not be deprived of the right to speak.
It is also normal for a film to have good and bad appearances, but it cannot be deprived of the right to be screened or even born because of its negative theme and gloomy content.
This incident greatly affected Chu Qing's feelings, and he was in a very bad state for several days.
With his temperament, he was able to go to the film bureau to shoot the table, which is already the maximum he can do, or the film practitioner can do.
Otherwise, what about stumbling with the Film Bureau and the General Administration? Oh please!
He didn't know that "No Man's Land" was delayed for four years before it was released, and just by reading this script, he vaguely felt that it would not pass the review. Because of this, the helplessness and touch he felt became more and more direct and intense.
In short, Chu Qing was depressed for a short time before he recovered. And it wasn't until this time that he remembered the script that was thrown in the corner, "People Are in Embarrassment".
In his opinion, this is a natural Chinese New Year movie, especially suitable for being released before the Spring Festival. Spring Festival, most people resonate.
As a comedy, "People in Embarrassment" is also qualified, although it can't stand the various good guy cards in it, it is still a movie with investment value.
There is only one point, which is the plot of the female teacher.
Not only is it deliberate, but it also disrupts the rhythm of the whole movie, just like you are smiling and laughing, eh, what is the matter with the sudden appearance of a forcibly sensational?
Laughing with tears and saying simple, that is the high level of comedy, not everyone can do it. Judging from the current level of genre films, you either tell the story seriously, or don't be happy, don't keep thinking about inclusiveness.
Therefore, Chu Qing quickly replied to Xu Zheng, there is no problem with cooperation, just one condition: change that bloody scene, let's not be sensational, just have a big intestine to the end.
This is too ok, the other side immediately nodded, and asked the screenwriter to revise it. In the end, it became: the two met a thief on the road, the migrant worker went up to arrest him stupidly, and the boss had no choice but to help, so he made a series of jokes.
In addition, the other two spurs have also been changed.
One is the role of Li Xiaolu, who lives with her companions in the prairie, but can't go home, so she can only sell things at various stations and trains.
One is Zhang Chao, the handsome painter who appeared inexplicably and disappeared inexplicably. He was originally a young man working hard outside, and he wanted to break into his own career, and this time he could finally go home for a reunion.
It's actually quite interesting, but the original version is limited to the length of time, and a lot of cuts have been made. Now after a trade-off, it was decided to keep Li Xiaolu's branch line and expand it to a certain extent.
After the script is completed, the two parties officially sign the contract.
"People in Embarrassment" invested 8 million, and the two of us and Wu * Hanhuaqi each paid 4 million, and the former was also responsible for the production and distribution of the film, and the dividend should be 60%.
In history, this film is looking for Hong Kong director Ye Weimin, Hua Qi is a layman, and he is very superstitious about Hong Kong's film and television team. However, Ye Weimin basically eats dry rice, and you can tell from the tidbits that in the most essential small hotel passage, Xu Zheng is completely telling Wang Baoqiang and Huang Xiaolei a play.
Don't look at the sullen appearance on Ya's face, her desire to control is super strong, and in every play she mixes, she has more or less assumed the role of director. And after the release of "People in Embarrassment", he said bluntly: "I think there are many things that I don't do well enough, because I'm not a director, so I can't control it." ”
This kind of regret and continuation of the story idea directly gave birth to the box office miracle "Thai Embarrassment".
Now, with Chu Qing's support here, Xu Zheng also felt that his level was not bad, so he offered to serve as a director. Although Hua Qi felt uneasy, he still had to rely on the two of us, so he had to reluctantly agree.
As for the actors, it's even simpler, except for PIA, who dropped Zhang Xinyi, and the full set of people copied it. (~^~)
