At noon, Chen Yimou ate at Luo Yang's house, Chen Yimou was full of praise for Fang Lin's craftsmanship, and told Luo Yang to cherish the two girls.

After eating, Chen Yimou rested at Luo Yang's house, and then came to Poplar Film Company with Luo Yang, ready to watch Luo Yang's new film.

Coming to Baiyang Film Company, Chen Yimou was very satisfied with Luo Yang's new company, encouraged Luo Yang to continue to develop, and walked into the company with Luo Yang, Zhao Yang already knew the news that Chen Yimou was coming, and had been waiting at the door for a long time, seeing Chen Yimou, Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Teacher Chen, welcome to Baiyang Film Company."

Seeing Zhao Yang, Chen Yimou also had a smile on his face, stepped forward and patted Zhao Yang's shoulder, and said: "Xiao Zhao, following me for so many years, it can be regarded as wronging you, now that you have the opportunity, you must take advantage of it, Luo Yang promised me that he will give you enough autonomy, which is also one of the main reasons why I let you go, if there is any problem, you can still find me at any time"!

Zhao Yang nodded, followed Chen Yimou for so many years, and left suddenly, saying that it was fake if he was not sad, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Chen Yimou said a few words to Zhao Yang, and then turned to Luo Yang and said: "Luo Yang, Xiao Zhao is also your senior brother, don't treat him badly in the future, otherwise Xiao Zhao will come to me, and I won't be polite to you."

Luo Yang nodded with a smile, stepped forward and hugged Zhao Yang's shoulders and said: "Don't worry, teacher, Brother Zhao is such an excellent director, I dig three feet into the ground, and I can't find a few, I don't need to say it, teacher, I don't dare to offend, otherwise I won't do it, where will I cry."

Hearing Luo Yang's ridicule, the originally somewhat silent atmosphere suddenly dissipated, and the three of them laughed.

Upstairs, the group came directly to the screening room, Xu Hong was arranging the screening screen inside, seeing Chen Yimou's arrival, Xu Hong stepped forward and smiled: "Teacher Chen, welcome to Baiyang Film Company to guide the work."

Hearing Xu Hong so polite, Chen Yimou was a little uncomfortable, Luo Yang hurriedly introduced: "Teacher, this is the propaganda minister of our company, who is responsible for the company's film promotion work in the future, Sister Xu, Mr. Chen is the producer of our film, not an outsider, don't be so polite."

Xu Hong smiled a little embarrassedly, these words are also considered to be after returning to China, Xu Hong taught himself, it is said that the national conditions of China are like this, I didn't expect to use it for the first time, it didn't work in the right place, so I had to smile, expose this little embarrassment, and then said to Luo Yang: "Mr. Luo, ready, is it time to start the screening"?

Luo Yang nodded, Xu Hong commanded people to close the heavy curtains around the projection room, there was no light, and the whole room suddenly became dark, and then Zhao Yang turned on the projector in the middle of everyone's seats, and the movie projector immediately worked, and soon a beam of light was projected directly onto the curtain on the wall.

After the logo of the National Film Bureau and the logo of Poplar Film Company were displayed, the film began to be officially screened, and Chen Yimou, who was originally a little casual, suddenly became serious, sitting upright and looking at the movie in front of him.

The movie continues to be screened, as the plot progresses, Chen Yimou's face is not smiling, this is a light comedy, although it is about such a sad thing as falling out of love, but the whole movie is filled with a joyful atmosphere, especially when I saw Huang Xiaoxian brushing his teeth with the wrong thing, his teeth turned red, and the scene where Wang Xiaobei played by the article played Huang Xiaoxian's ex-boyfriend, Chen Yimou couldn't help but hahadaxiao, but after laughing, Chen Yimou also reacted, and waited until the movie ended, Embarrassed to Luo Yang, he said: "I lost my temper just now, I lost my temper."

Hearing Chen Yimou's words, Luo Yang smiled slightly and said: "Teacher, this movie is originally a light comedy, if you don't laugh, then my movie will really fail and can't fail again, so I am very happy that you can laugh happily, teacher, it means that my movie can at least be recognized by you, and it can make professionals like you happy, and I think ordinary audiences will also like it."

Chen Yimou nodded and said, "That's right, it's true, well, I've also read this movie script, but unlike the script, this movie seems more compact, and you've deleted a lot of things, right?"

"Yes", Luo Yang and Zhao Yang both nodded, Zhao Yang was mainly responsible for the editing work, so he said: "There are some things, Luo Yang and I have the same opinion, I think it is too smooth, so I simply deleted it, just picked out more representative things and put them in to make the whole movie a little smoother."

"Yes, yes, you just understand this truth, the movie is a thing, sometimes you have to give up to get it, if you are not willing to shoot your own shots, add it strongly, it will only make the whole movie look very stiff, this is what I am most worried about, after all, Luo Yang, you have just directed yourself, and you attach great importance to your own hard work, I am afraid that you will not be able to give up this level, so I proposed to watch this movie, but now it seems that you are better than I imagined, which makes me very satisfied", Chen Yimou nodded, As a director, the overall situation is also very important, some details should be omitted, and they should be discarded, Luo Yang and Zhao Yang can do these well, and Chen Yimou is also very satisfied.

Luo Yang and Zhao Yang both nodded and accepted Chen Yimou's experience.

"By the way, your movie seems to be released ahead of schedule, what's going on? Has the movie been reviewed"?

Hearing Chen Yimou's question, Luo Yang nodded and said: "The film review has passed, although this movie generally does not involve sensitive issues such as politics, but after all, it is about aiqing, and there are some vitriol and mean swear words in the movie, so it is classified at the PG level (counseling level, it is recommended that post-school children watch it under the guidance of their parents), which is not bad, but the main thing is that the National Film Bureau saw that our film producer is a teacher, and it was very face-saving, and it didn't get much stuck in our movie, so it passed directly." 。

Hearing Luo Yang's words, Chen Yimou smiled, Chen Yimou is not a saint after all, he still has vanity, so Luo Yang's sycophant was also hit.

"But this movie was indeed released ahead of schedule, mainly because of the schedule, we were originally scheduled to be released on Valentine's Day, but unfortunately the schedule can't be scheduled, after all, I don't have the status of a teacher, so it's normal for the cinema chain alliance not to give face, but we also came up with a way", Luo Yang smiled and told Chen Yimou how to create Singles' Day, and then cooperate with this festival to promote it.

"Singles' Day was proposed by you, and it has been very popular recently", hearing Luo Yang's words, Chen Yimou was also a little surprised, although Chen Yimou is not young, but he often goes online, looking for movie inspiration on it, Singles' Day is so popular, Chen Yimou naturally knows, but he doesn't know that it was his two students who made it up, but Chen Yimou is still very pleased, and said: "Adapt measures to local conditions, there is no opportunity to create opportunities by yourself, very good, the cinema chain alliance, we have nothing to do, these people only have interests in their eyes, No one will give face, so you only have a little grievance", the student was wronged, Chen Yimou was naturally very angry, but this film alliance, although Chen Yimou has a high status in the film industry, there is no way, although these people only care about interests, but they are also fair, and will not be affected by external interpersonal relationships, although it is a bit difficult for newcomers to get ahead, but it is still very beneficial to the development of Chinese films, Chen Yimou and several other big directors also acquiesced to this situation.

However, Chen Yimou still explained to Luo Yang and Zhao Yang: "The establishment of this cinema line alliance is also a good thing, you also know that Huaguo is a personal society, and an alliance like the cinema chain alliance that only recognizes interests is still a good thing for the development of Huaguo films, although you newcomers suffer a little, but it is not without opportunities, so don't feel unhappy, think about it, if the cinema chain alliance starts to talk about human feelings, what will happen"?

Luo Yang and Zhao Yang were stunned for a moment, and also thought of this problem, the cinema line alliance now pays attention to interests, if the movie is good and the profit is high, then arrange more screenings and theaters, and good movies can naturally come out, but if you talk about human feelings, it will be terrible, for example, Luo Yang's movies have very good results, and the cinema line is preparing to expand the number of screenings and theaters, but the alliance has acquaintances to intercede, hoping to vacate the theaters and schedules to related households, so who is Zuihou who suffers, not these with strength, Good movie that doesn't matter! Therefore, it seems that the practice of the cinema chain alliance only recognizing interests is really a fair practice in China.

Thinking of this, Luo Yang and Zhao Yang's original dissatisfaction with the cinema chain alliance suddenly disappeared, Luo Yang nodded, and said to Chen Yimou: "I know the teacher, you are right, the cinema chain alliance can ensure the fairness of the vast majority of people."

Seeing that Luo Yang understood what he meant, Chen Yimou nodded, Chen Yimou can't influence the cinema alliance, and he doesn't want to influence it, because this is the model that these directors want, which is very beneficial to Chinese films, and people of insight don't want to change.
