Heavy snow, long road.

The highway to the airport was still crowded with traffic, and everyone was moving slowly, and the snow flakes smashed on the glass windows and were blown away in an instant, leaving only a shallow mark.

The air conditioner was turned on in the car, and it was a little smoky, Zhang Jingchu sat in the back seat, looking at the road ahead, as if there was no end.

"I can't fly at all this day!"

Chu Qing put the steering wheel, cautiously overtook a car, and asked, "Hey, have they arrived?" ”

"I guess I've just left."

The girl glanced in the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Director Gu lost the ticket and passport yesterday, and I couldn't find it, and in the end I couldn't say that I could go." As a result, early this morning, I found it buttoned under my hat. ”

"Ha, that person looks honest, but he is actually sloppy!"

He casually touched the cigarette case, just pulled out one, and stuffed it back again.

"You smoke it, I'm fine." She couldn't help but laugh.

"Uh, wait, wait, wait."

He waved his hand, changed the subject slightly awkwardly, and said, "Where are you after you go, remember to wear thick clothes, it's colder over there than here." Hey, do you have all the dresses? ”

"I'm ready, I'm going to put it in a box, and the soldiers won't let me, so I have to transport it over."

"Ah, okay, I'll wear it anyway."

Chu Qing didn't care about these things recently, so he picked up the advice he knew: "The chairman of Berlin is called Koslick, and he is very realistic, I estimate that the next night, he will have to invite you to dinner, so adjust the state as soon as possible." ”

"Then you pay attention to the fact that the crew who is generally valued is lined up next to him at the table. But "Peacock" must be fine, at least you have to get a silver bear. ”

"You don't have to worry about other things, the company handles it, if there is a media interview, you can say it generously. Hey, by the way, if it's foreign media. You just use English. ”

“……”

Zhang Jingchu put her legs together, leaned forward, and listened carefully to the teaching. In those slender and calm eyes, half of his silhouette was reflected.

It took more than thirty minutes later than usual for the two to arrive at the airport.

Before Gu Changwei came, Chu Qing pushed large and small boxes to handle the consignment, accompanied her for a while, and then sent them directly to the security checkpoint.

"Okay, you go in and wait, Lao Gu has almost arrived."

“……”

Zhang Jingchu looked at him. Suddenly, he lowered his eyes, and his little hands grabbed the corners of his clothes in a panic. At this moment, she wanted to hug each other very specially, but she didn't dare, and she didn't want to leave like this, so she had to stand stupidly.

"Uh......"

Chu Qing felt a little cold, so he made a cheering gesture and said with a smile: "Come on!" ”

"Hmm!"

The girl finally relented and turned around with her satchel. Clicked to security.

Outside, snow was falling.

…………

"The dog must die!"

Lu Wei slapped the table, his neck stiffened, and said, "And it must be charged with a murderer." Otherwise, this strength will not come out at all! ”

On the other side, there was Shu Ping, who had a simple face, and he spoke slowly, saying, "It's not a matter of strength now." It is a question of whether it can pass the trial. How nice it is that the dog doesn't die and becomes a vegetative person. Do not step on the line above. The middle is not excessive, and there is an explanation of the story, and everyone is happy. ”

"You are, this is ......"

Lu Wei was poor in words, pointing at the other party and unable to speak.

"Hey, two brothers, dissipate your anger!"

Chu Qing came back from the airport, and when he saw this scene as soon as he entered the office, he hurriedly pulled the frame and grabbed a good voice of consolation with one hand, which dissipated his anger.

It is said that the script adaptation of "The Murderer" has been going on for a while, and the previous context has been sorted out, but the two have been arguing about the handling of the ending.

Today is the Nth meeting, and as expected, it is still noisy.

Lu Wei's consciousness and style have always been mavericks, he is extremely sharp, sharp, and red fruit tears human nature in front of your eyes.

For example, "Farewell My Concubine", "Alive", and "Tuya's Marriage", nothing more than that. Even, because his brushstrokes are too sensitive, a considerable part of his works are not used and wasted.

As for Shu Ping, he is also very good, and has written a lot of books with yellow line themes, such as Lao Jiang's "The Devil is Coming", and Lu Le's "Mr. Zhao" and so on.

But his understanding is completely different, and he feels that screenwriting is a secondary job and cannot be offside. To put it bluntly, he cares very much about the director's attitude and the pass rate of the script...... If you have to shout that I write this very good B, anyone can shoot it, there is no such thing.

If Lu Wei is the creator, then Shu Ping is to assist the creator, and the level is almost the same, which is nothing more than a difference in thinking. Now the two are arguing, but they are not right about people, and they don't hurt their feelings. There are two main points of disagreement:

One is the ending, does the dog die or become vegetative?

One is the local government, do you want to write a blue sky lord to administer justice?

The options in the back are naturally to cater to the main theme, Chu Qing didn't make this film to be banned, he also wanted to release it in China. However, as Lu Wei said, such a change lacks a bit of shock, so it is difficult for him to do it.

"Qingzi, you give a final opinion, I don't have the heart to delay!"

Lu Wei lit a cigarette and threw out a sentence directly. At the same time, Shu Ping looked at him impatiently.

"Uh......"

Chu Qing scratched his head, told the results of the two days of consideration, and said, "If you don't do this first, you will write according to Teacher Shu Ping's and pass the review." Then when we shoot, let's study it in detail. ”

"Then even if you shoot that, the bureau can't let you release it?" Shu Pingqi said.

"This ...... I'll tell you the truth, there is no market for this kind of film in China, and I planned to send it out for the exhibition from the beginning. When the time comes, let's make a double ending, an overseas version, a domestic version, wouldn't it be appropriate? He laughs.

"Tsk!"

Lu Wei touched his chin and said, "Qingzi, you have to do it like this, you just have to be very careful." ”

"Be careful of what?" He asked.

"Oh, there are so many villains in this world!"

Shu Ping rarely agreed with the other party, and said: "For such a thing as double endings, the Film Bureau usually turns a blind eye, but for fear that someone will report it, the report will have to be investigated, and it will be accurate if it is checked!" ”

“……”

Chu Qing pursed his lips and paused for a few seconds. Suddenly smiled: "It's okay, you always have to take some risks in doing things, you two will write it first." ”

"That's fine. Oh yes, director, who are you going to look for? Lu Wei asked again.

"I'm not worried! Hey, what do you think of Guan Hu? He said.

"Guan Hu?"

The two pondered for a moment, and shook their heads in unison: "The fire is almost!" ”

"Where's Jia Zhangke?"

"It's okay to shoot a small citizen, dog, he can't shoot that heroic!"

"What about Lou Ye?"

"Hypocrisy!"

"Uh, why don't you find a Hong Kong director?"

"Poof!"

The two almost choked to death and categorically vetoed.

"That. I can't really think of anyone else. He didn't either.

"Don't rush, finish the script first, there is enough time." Shu Ping comforted.

…………

On February 19, the 55th Berlin Film Festival came to an end.

This time, the Chinese Legion shined, Gu Changwei won the Jury Award for his debut novel, and Cai Mingliang's "A Cloud on the Edge of the Sky" won the Special Artistic Contribution Award. The works of two other young directors also won two inconspicuous small awards.

One of the most eye-catching is "Peacock", which was a huge hit in Berlin. Zhang Jingchu, as the heroine, wore a dark blue long skirt that night. was indifferent on the red carpet, and became famous in one fell swoop.

The domestic media also praised it, saying that it was fresh and elegant, and had the style of a general. is also a competitive new generation of female stars.

And the two of them are in China, always paying attention to the news over there, and they make a phone call almost every day to learn that everything is fine. There is only one thing. Huayi, the investor of "Peacock", relied on the prestige of the Silver Bear Award to ask for a sky-high price, and scared away overseas filmmakers. is in infinite suffering.

Chu Qing expressed regret about this, and he didn't bother to care about it at all, so he was still busy talking about his own business.

After the tone of the adaptation of "The Murderer" was set, Shu Ping and Lu Wei quickly finished writing the script and named it "Tengu". He immediately uploaded it to Zhang Ping, and the reply from the person was also very fast, saying that he could.

Subsequently, he personally went to the film bureau, with a 1,000-word synopsis, a letter of authorization from the screenwriter, an application for single-film shooting, and a certificate of funds issued by the bank. Since the list of main creators is not mandatory at the project approval stage, the official did not make any difficulties, so it was stamped and approved.

At this point, he breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, thinking that he could take a break. But who would have thought, I don't know which one of them was broken, and he actually leaked the news.

This is good, Chu Qing underestimated his coffee position, and as soon as he heard that he was going to start a new play, the media Wuyang Wuyang ran to block the door. In the end, the company held a simple press conference, saying that the movie is in preparation, don't shout.

But the reporters didn't care about that, how to write or how to write, they all blossomed. As a result, the company received hundreds of resumes and a large number of broker referrals within a few days.

In fact, it's quite interesting, as far as the domestic filmmakers are concerned, in terms of influence alone, there are definitely Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang. As long as you can pick up the director's play, how many celebrities will take off their pants and cry.

If someone has this ability, a drama can support you to the top.

And the next thing is that Hong Kong directors such as Xu Ke, Liu Weiqiang, and Chen Kexin are also very popular. ordered again, it was the turn of Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai.

They take a completely different route, although no one watches the film, they can brush their faces internationally, and if they are lucky, they can win awards.

The attraction of the first two directors, whether they are newcomers or big names, cannot be escaped. The latter kind of director is more weird, newcomers are not very cold, but some stars want to make friends vigorously.

Especially those who have already proven themselves commercially and urgently need a trophy to turn actors.

As for Chu Qing, the most special thing is that he can't write a script or be a director, so he just invested in a cow and broke a cow, and he never missed. So in the eyes of those guys, he is probably equivalent to a professional mentor, with a wave of his little hand, crackling all kinds of buffs.

And in the following days, the goods revolved around three things: selecting actors, finding directors, and the launch of the support plan. (To be continued......)
