Wu Hua rushed to the wing room on the third floor of Wensheng Hotel, and He Tianming and Chen Kaige had already started chatting. He Tianming originally planned to see Chen Kaige tomorrow, but in order to avoid the situation that he didn't see anyone last time, he specially called Chen Kaige's company in advance and told them that he would go over tomorrow.

When Chen Kaige heard the call from the TV station, he immediately became happy, and when the reception told him the news, he was still studying Wu Hua's propaganda plan, so he put aside what he was doing without saying a word, and went out to the reception office to call back. After talking with He Tianming on the phone, the two talked happily, had similar interests, chatted and became familiar, thinking that they needed to carefully understand the process of the interview, so Chen Kaige proposed to go out to eat together, and later He Tianming mentioned Wu Hua, Chen Kaige knew that the two of them had known each other for a long time, so he called Wu Hua together.

"Xiaohua, you are so uninteresting, you have such a powerful friend on the TV station and didn't tell me, causing me to wait for several days, come, punish for drinking." As soon as Wu Hua entered the door, Chen Kaige began to talk about him and was ready to let him punish him for drinking.

Wu Hua sat down on the empty chair next to him, took the wine but didn't drink it immediately, but said half-jokingly: "Director Chen, don't wronged me, I'm not sure if you want to be interviewed, so I don't dare to mention it in front of you, and I'm worried that you will think that you are a lobbyist invited by Hong Kong TV."

"You kid will be poor-mouthed, come, punish wine." Chen Kaige didn't plan to let Wu Hua go, so he even pulled He Tianming with him, and when he stood up, he wanted to raise a toast.

Seeing this, He Tianming and Wu Hua hurriedly stood up from their positions with wine glasses, He Tianming didn't drink much, but since it was Chen Kaige toasting, he could only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, and said with a slight exaggeration: "Director Chen, if this cup goes down, it is estimated that you will have to strike tomorrow morning."

Chen Kaige is not easy to fool, he directly scolded back and said: "Tianming, have you had a girlfriend?" Don't let your girlfriend listen to this, if you can't deal with this little wine, how can you find a girlfriend to marry a daughter-in-law in the future? ”

Chen Kaige has something to say, He Tianming is also an understanding person, in order not to fall down, he can only pick up the wine glass and admit it, and said: "Just rush to Director Chen's metaphor, I drank this wine, and it is a miracle that three glasses are not poured."

"Haha, this is the real man, come, let's toast together." Chen Kaige looked at He Tianming appreciatively, and pulled the two of them to raise their glasses again.

He Tianming didn't like to drink, even when he studied abroad, he only drank some foreign wine with a lower degree at an occasional class reunion, and he didn't dare to drink a higher degree of liquor in China, but at this moment, Chen Kaige was in a warm mood, and it would be hypocritical if he postponed it any longer.

After a glass of wine, He Tianming only felt that his stomach was hot, and the heat was constantly surging, this Niulanshan liquor was really powerful.

Wu Hua didn't drink a drop of alcohol in his last life, but since Quzhou took over the Baoli Garment Factory, he thought that there must be a lot of entertainment work in the future, so he began to practice drinking when he was in Quzhou, and occasionally drank a few glasses with Zhou Houming's father, but it was only a low-degree liquor.

"Yes, another drink." Chen Kaige said, refilled the two of them again, and then said, "Come, eat some food, let's talk while eating."

Wu Hua picked up a piece of crispy duck, looked at He Tianming, and asked as if unintentionally: "What have you been busy with lately, it is more difficult to see you than to meet the national leader."

He Tianming understood and knew that Wu Hua had already begun to cut into the topic, so he said: "Don't mention it, the matter of helping a friend get a movie copyright has been done for a week, and it has no effect."

"Film copyright, what do you mean?" Wu Hua asked pretending not to understand.

Hearing this topic, Chen Kaige also suddenly became interested, and hurriedly looked up at He Tianming, wanting to know something.

"I made a movie in a small way, but the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television failed to pass the review, what jokes about the historical figures are too serious, let him change some plots, but my friend is brainless, and he is unwilling to change his work, and now this situation is that the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television does not pass it, and it cannot be broadcast." He Tianming sighed, as if he was particularly worried.

"And what's going on?" Wu Hua continued to ask: "What kind of script did he have, why did he play about historical figures?"

"I didn't ask what the script was, but the past few days of running around have made me tired enough." He Tianming sighed, took a few sips of soup and then continued: "Wu Hua, you will write scripts in the future, but don't use historical figures to brush up and tell you that there is no way out, and you will be banned by the Radio and Television Bureau every minute."

Chen Kaige was listening to it in a daze, what does it mean to joke about historical figures? How is it a joke?

"Does the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television have this rule?" Chen Kaige asked.

What He Tianming said, he listened to it in a daze, saying that the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television did not pass the review, and what kind of drama about historical figures, isn't that related to history? wants to understand it clearly, but he doesn't know the plot, which is really frightening.

He Tianming saw Chen Kaige asking, and knew that he had said it, so he said it according to the lines he had discussed with Wu Hua before, and said seriously: "Now the management is very strict, my friend is brainless, and he doesn't want to change anything, and now he still wants to not release it publicly, but Director Chen, how much does it cost to invest in a film production?" is not public, there is no box office, what to use to support the crew? I think that guy will regret it sooner or later. ”

He Tianming said that the head was the Tao, Chen Kaige listened to it and took it to heart, and he didn't think there was any problem, but he was in a hurry now, and if he wanted to talk about historical figures, his new drama "Lu Bu and Diao Chan" did have some jokes, and he would be worried about whether the review could be passed.

"I remember that a few years ago, there seemed to be a TV series that was stopped after a few episodes, what was it called, and I couldn't remember it for a while." Wu Hua also cooperated with the speech.

"The Gods List." Chen Kaige reminded Wu Hua.

"Yes, yes, yes, Fengshen Bang, produced by Xi'an Jinqiu Film and Television Production Company, the heroine seems to be starring Liang Li." Wu Hua said.

Of course Chen Kaige knows this drama, when it was broadcast in 1989, it was stopped after only 5 episodes, and the reason for the ban was said to be too "avant-garde", and it was even jokingly called "China's first third-level TV series".

Because of the suspension of this drama, Wu Tianming, who was once the director of the West Film Studio, lost millions of yuan, and then disappeared from the public eye, some people said that he went to the United States, and some people said that he never appeared after returning to his hometown. It is estimated that he is completely dead to the film and television industry. Chen Kaige thought, he must not encounter such an unlucky thing, otherwise, he may really disappear like Wu Tianming.

Regardless of whether the ban is true or not, now that I know about it in advance, it means that God is still kind to me, so for now, it is to speed up the improvement of the work and arrange it before August 26.

"Are there any special rules for banning?" Chen Kaige asked He Tianming about this. He wanted to know more, of course.

"It's definitely not okay to joke about history, and another one, too bloody and violent will also be banned. The main reason is that the investigation is too strict now. He Tianming said, and suddenly remembered that Chen Kaige asked if there was any special circumstance in this matter? So he asked, "Why does Director Chen care so much about this?" Could it be that Director Chen knows this friend of mine? ”

"No, no, I just want to find out." Chen Kaige hurriedly denied it, he really didn't know who the director He Tianming was talking about.

"It's nothing special, anyway, there can't be a problem of joking about historical figures, it can't be too bloody, it can't be too violent, it's basically no problem." He Tianming said it very casually.

Chen Kaige was frightened when he heard it, and the few questions He Tianming said seemed to appear in his new drama, and he was now panicked. "Lu Bu and Diao Chan" has already determined the start time, but because I have been busy recently, the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television has not yet applied for it, and it will take at least half a month to review a TV series, if you go to review it now, it will be August in half a month, if you don't pass the review, take it back and change it, I don't know how long it will take, and I will have to review it again after the change, and then it will take half a month to send it, back and forth, and the time is not enough at all.

Wu Hua saw the contradiction in Chen Kaige's heart, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only ask softly: "Director Chen, is there something wrong?"

Chen Kaige looked at Wu Hua with a worried look, and he wasn't sure whether he should tell him about it, although Wu Hua's ability and talent were good, but "Lu Bu and Diao Chan" involved too much investment after all, and he was worried that the impact would not be good. But at this moment, Chen Kaige really needs someone else to give him ideas.

"Xiaohua, let's be honest with you." Chen Kaige looked at Wu Hua with a little solemnity and said: """Lu Bu and Diao Chan" seems to have a little bit of jokes about historical figures, and I'm worried about whether my TV series will be stopped."

Wu Hua was surprised, and at the same time felt that Chen Kaige was too worried, so he opened his mouth to persuade him: "It's okay Director Chen, not every drama will be stopped, you have to have confidence in your work." Moreover, it has been so long since I left the broadcast, and I will know when I go to apply, maybe Director Chen, you have too many concerns. ”

Wu Hua tried his best to show a plain appearance, not wanting Chen Kaige to see his inner thoughts.

"It's going to be reviewed now, it's almost half a month, but our show will start next month, and I'm afraid it's too late." Chen Kaige said.

After stopping Chen Kaige's words, Wu Hua fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "Okay, let's see how to get it, time is running out, we have to do it as soon as possible."

"Okay, you can help me figure it out together." Chen Kaige made up his mind to find a solution before the situation appeared, which is what a mature director should do.
