Chapter 657: Yu Hua's "Brothers"

This year's Director's Symposium hosted by the Directors Guild has started again.

There are many people who come, but the most famous and accomplished one is obviously Luo Mo......

No one else could catch up with him.

Especially after Luo Mo won the Academy Award for Best Director before, now Luo Mo's reputation in the Chinese director circle has been in full swing.

This kind of director's symposium also gets a lot of attention every year, because there are also many questions that arise at the director's symposium, and many questions are raised.

This year's director's symposium also plays an important role for Qianmo Entertainment, because in this year's director's symposium, there will be a lot of people in Qianmo Entertainment's new director training plan.

Tan Zhicheng, the director of "Young and Frivolous", was also qualified to participate in this director's symposium.

There are also six new director training plans of Qianmo Entertainment Company, and some directors are now able to appear at this director's symposium.

In essence, the director's symposium is actually controlled by the state, and some of the words here are controlled, and some sensitive things cannot be said anyway, which is also their responsibility. Therefore, before the director's symposium began, some leaders also came out to speak first...... The speeches of the leaders are actually very unpopular with these directors in nature, especially some arrogant people are even more disgusted with such speeches, but everyone gave them face on the surface, even Luo Mo also made a serious appearance, even if this kind of speech actually made Luo Mo's head as big as a bean......

Luo Mo sat next to Ning Hao, a director he was more familiar with, Luo Mo had a good relationship with him, and after the leaders finished speaking, the voices on the scene began to slowly increase, and many people were whispering something with the people around them, including the current Luo Mo and Ning Hao are also talking to some students.

"Does Director Luo have any new plans? If so, why don't you give me a chance, I'll be a scene or something, so I can get some of your light! Ning Hao said with a smile.

Luo Mo waved his hand: "Don't hold me!" If you come to me to remember on the spot, then I'm not going to be set up by you? "He's also joking, Ning Hao is just nonsense.

Ning Hao has gone all the way from "Crazy Stone" and proved himself with one movie after another, although the middle "The Great Gold Robbery" has been widely criticized because of the extremely unreasonable plot, but no matter how famous the director is, it is impossible for any film in his career to be perfect.

is like Luo Mo, his current ability is quite strong, he also has an Oscar for Best Director, and there are so many acclaimed and acclaimed movies under his name, but even if it is such a Luo Mo, his director also has widely criticized films like "Nightmare" and "The Hangover 2" under his name.

"Nightmare" is better, that movie is not completely bad, in fact, that film is more controversial, many people think that the film is not very good, but there are also some people who regard that film as a classic, especially many CULT film lovers in the world, all hope that when Luo Mo will be able to come back out of the mountain and make a similar film.

And that film also won Luo Mo the Grand Prize at the Venice International Film Festival......

But "The Hangover 2" is really different, the final reviews of this film are almost not good, and everyone says that this movie is simply disappointing everyone......

And Ning Hao's "The Great Gold Robbery" is still very exciting in terms of story, very Ning Hao's style that is good at dealing with film narratives, but there are so many loopholes in that film that you can't look at it directly, and the bugs flying all over the sky really make people speechless, but after Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" was re-screened, he began to slowly walk to the peak of his life, and then his films can also be a slow balance between business and art, and the most important thing is that he rarely crosses the line, which also allows his directorial career to develop normally.

Otherwise, like many directors, such as Jia Zhangke, he is very talented, but his films always make people cross the line, which is very helpless.

Therefore, Luo Mo also knew that Ning Hao was completely joking, but Ning Hao still replied to him: "How is it possible!" How could I override you! I really want to help...... By the way, I'll ask you for some money or something......"

"Begging for money?" Luo Mo was a little surprised, he intuitively felt that this guy had something to say.

"That's right...... Actually, I have an idea. Ning Hao whispered embarrassedly: "I didn't have a chance before." Actually, I'm thinking about a film, and I want to make this film...... I want to ask you for help, because no one else will give me money for this film, but I really want to shoot it, so I want to ask you if you can give me a chance. ”

Ning Hao said very quietly, on the one hand, because he was worried that others would hear what they were talking about, and on the other hand, he was a little embarrassed.

"What are you going to make? Now if you say you want to make a new film, everyone will invest money in you......"

In the past two years, Ning Hao's movies have made money, such as "The Great Gold Robbery", "No Man's Land", and "Encounter with Death", and they have made a lot of money.

So, if he's going to start a new movie, there's bound to be a whole bunch of people waiting to throw money at him...... It won't go unnoticed, unless he's shooting a high-risk project.

"People don't dare to invest money, mainly because they are worried about risks." Ning Hao rubbed his hands, and then said, "But I really want to do this project...... It's not that I don't dare to throw money into it, and it's a bit too much to go bankrupt for the sake of this idea, but at least, I'm willing to throw a lot of money into it...... It's just that I don't have that much money either. And this film is likely to be at a loss......"

Luo Mo frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Then what kind of film are you going to make...... Tell me about it, I have a bottom in my heart. ”

"Yu Hua's novel, "Brothers."

"it!" Luo Mo almost blurted out these two words, he can be regarded as knowing what no one has invested in the Tao, don't look at our government seems to be becoming more and more enlightened in the past two years, but many things are better not touched, there is a saying that if you don't die, you won't die......

Luo Mo has also read the novel "Brothers", and like many of Yu Hua's other novels, there is pathos in black humor.

However, this novel, in Luo Mo's eyes, the first half is completely a masterpiece that can make people cry, and the second half feels a bit like a fantasy novel.

"For the time being, I just plan to shoot the first half, and shoot the stories of Li Guangtou, Song Gang, and Song Fanping in that big ****, and I don't plan to shoot the second half...... I'm getting more and more strongly moved these days, and I'm getting more and more excited to make this film......"

Luo Mo interrupted him: "But you filmed this film...... It is absolutely impossible to release it on the mainland...... Even, if you shoot too seriously, you may even be banned from making movies for a few years......"

"The current creative environment is actually much more relaxed, and it shouldn't be possible to ban filming for a few years, just stop it." Ning Hao said: "However, this film should not be released in the mainland...... But I think since I shoot it, I plan to do a good job, so I can't get it if I don't have a few tens of millions of investments, and I can't support it myself, so I have to pull ......."

Luo Mo listened to the egg pain, he didn't expect Ning Hao to have such a thought.

But seriously, he thinks that it is definitely possible for Ning Hao to make this film well, and people like him are still very good at handling the plot of the movie.

It's just that this thing is really too taboo, and there are great risks in how you say it.

It's still the same sentence, if you don't die, you won't die!

But I feel Ning Hao's enthusiasm, and the investment is tens of millions, if this film can be included in the Qianmo Entertainment Company, it can also enrich the variety of movies, especially in the eyes of fans, which is also a pretty good thing.

The most important thing is that Luo Mo also knows that it is a pretty good novel, and if it can be arranged into a movie, many things in the middle will be of great contribution.

As a person who loves movies, he also wants to see this scene appear.

After thinking about it carefully, Luo Mo said to him: "Are you going to shoot tens of millions?" ”

"This ...... There is no limit to more. Ning Hao rubbed his hands and smiled.

“…… Okay, when this symposium is over, let's have a good talk. Luo Mo said to him.

"Good!"

…… The symposium officially began, in fact, everyone exchanged their views, especially their views on Chinese films, and then talked about the possibility of getting out of the current pattern. And some such things are mainly older directors expressing their opinions, and few younger directors have room to speak.

A lot of people are listening.

"We're already facing a big possibility of a film coming out of the woods." At this time, a director of the older generation said: "Director Luo Mo's previous "Yue Fei" has created a strong influence in the entire world, and more and more people are re-acquainting themselves with Chinese films. ”

Such words make many people feel the same way, "Yue Fei" has indeed brought about a strong change in many people's understanding of Chinese films, and Chinese films have become more competitive, which has an impact on the whole.

But just when many people nodded, a voice suddenly came out: "Indeed, "Yue Fei" is a good movie, and it can be recognized by everyone at the box office and word of mouth. But "Yue Fei" actually didn't do such a thing, in this film, we didn't see the newcomers, nor did we see the entire film industry, we only saw the success of some of the people themselves, so this does not mean that "Yue Fei" has given us a strong driving force. ”

The spearhead of these words was obviously a little pointed at Luo Mo, and Luo Mo also glanced at the person who spoke, Lu Qi, who was also an old acquaintance......
