Ye Chen didn't have anything to do in his hometown, and he began to think about what kind of movie he could make to win the award at the Universal Film Festival with the current level of filming at this time, since he wanted to win the award, he should win the award, so Ye Chen was very entangled now.

Now he has three more works, "Farewell My Concubine", which won the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival, because of some political reasons, so it was not a big pity that he did not participate in the local award on the road, which is a big pity, and was even banned, and then it was proudly broadcast.

The other one is also a war product, but this is a reflection of the movie during the Anti-Japanese War, called "The Devil is Coming", which is different from "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Zhang Kaige, one is a play, the other is a farmer, from the point of view of embodiment, it is not at the same level, but it is all to express a person's pursuit, but "The Devil is Coming" and "Farewell My Concubine" also have a negative impact, that is, it involves the historical topic of resistance against Japan, and the position is not correct. On the one hand, the film not only did not show the hatred and resistance of the Chinese people against the invaders in the context of the War of Resistance Against Japan, but highlighted and exaggerated its ignorance, numbness, and servility, which made the film have some negative impacts.

However, in Ye Chen's view, although this movie is negative, it also reflects the difference between good and evil among the simple people at that time, which is a fact.

As for the other film, it is the work of Zhang Yimou and Director Zhang, and the film adapted from Yu Hua's work "Alive", which is set against the background of the Chinese Civil War and the political movements after the founding of New China, and reflects the fate of a generation of Chinese through the ups and downs of the male protagonist Fugui's life.

Although the two works "Alive" and "The Devil is Coming" are far inferior to "Farewell My Concubine", they are also good overall, at least these are the only three works that won awards at the Cannes Film Festival before 2000, and the other works did not even have the opportunity to show their faces.

In the end, Ye Chen decided to choose the movie "The Devil is Coming", but Ye Chen planned to use metaphors to pass over the scene at the beginning, otherwise it would be thankless if it was blocked.

Of course, when Ye Chen created this work, according to the current political factors and the experience of foreign awards, he made certain cuts to some plots in the movie, and on the other hand, he added some elements of foreign war films to it, making it a brand new movie.

On the one hand, it shows the duplicity of most people at that time, and on the other hand, it also shows the spirit of the people at that time who fought for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Of course, in the end, Ma Dasan, Ye Chen let him not die, but changed the way of beheading to shooting, he was shot several times but did not die, was thrown in a mass grave, he escaped death, and finally used his own experience to awaken the enslaved people to resist and set up an anti-Japanese team, and finally became a real anti-Japanese force with the support and assistance of a party member.

After Ye Chen thought about the general plot, he was also quite satisfied, in addition to his own understanding of the movie, he also added a lot of narrative methods of foreign war films, so as to integrate a set of his own methods, with this work that can win the Grand Jury Award at the Cannes Film Festival, it is not a piece of cake to win the award of the Universal Film Festival.

When your capital is enough, it is not difficult to shoot "War and Peace" directly and want the top award!

Ye Chen made a decision, so when he was at home, he learned a lot about the situation at that time from his old man, because he didn't know very well whether the reactions of the people in Jiang Wen's works in Jiang Wen's movies were real.

Through the old man's understanding, I knew that in that environment at that time, Jiang Wen's shooting was still more in line with the scene at that time, and of course, there were many things to resist.

Ye Chen stayed at home for three days, and the script was completed by one-third, the investment in this movie was a bit much, he sighed, there was no money, only to solicit sponsorship, Director Jiang used nearly 30 million to shoot this movie, and he now has zero deposit, how to make a movie!

"It seems that it's time to find the boss, come forward, and pull some sponsorship for yourself."

As for the things at home, building roads, paying money, etc., Ye Chen doesn't think much about it now, of course, he hasn't forgotten his roots, these things, as long as he has spare money, he will definitely do them, but the current situation does not allow him to do this now.

After Ye Chen came out of home, he didn't return to the capital immediately, because he wanted to go back to the military region to see if he could follow the art troupe of the military region to participate in the condolence performance.

After Ye Chen arrived in the military region, he happened to encounter Commander Xu's inspection of the art troupe.

Ye Chen had to wait in Wang Xuefeng's office to find Wang Xuefeng after the inspection, and there was no one in the office for a short time, so Ye Chen was drinking tea by himself there.

After about half an hour, the door of the office was opened, and Ye Chen just stood up, and after seeing the person coming, he was stunned again.

"Chief, why did you come here?"

The person who came was none other than Xu Lao, the commander of the Licheng Military Region, who looked at Ye Chen and smiled: "What? I'm not allowed to come and see you, an old man, and I'm only allowed to come to the art troupe to inspect it? ”

Ye Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Report chief, Ye Chen, a soldier of the Drama Club of the Original Literary Troupe and a student of the People's Liberation Army Art Academy, came to the Art Troupe to see if there is a condolence performance, I want to participate in the performance, so that this winter is not too cold!" ”

"Let this winter not be too cold, you kid will talk to Xiao Wang later! But now I'm going to talk to you about a personal matter, where are you and my granddaughter and you? ”

Ye Chen didn't know how to answer, after all, he didn't know what Old Xu thought in his heart, so he said solemnly: "I, Ye Chen, swear to the sky, the girl and I kissed at most, or in front of everyone, there are no other further plans, and it is not enough to kiss the chief!" ”

As soon as Xu Lao heard this, he had the idea of wanting to repair Ye Chen, but if what Ye Chen said at this moment was true, then it might be the scene in the Spring Festival Gala, so Xu Lao put away his temper.

"You kid, in the next few years, look at your performance, if your performance can't satisfy me, I don't need to talk about your marriage, you kid is so self-conscious, I'll say so much?"

After Xu Lao finished speaking, he left, and then Wang Xuefeng walked in and looked at Ye Chen.

"Xiaochen, come on!"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "It's time to come on, by the way, head of the troupe, do you have any condolence performances during this time?" I don't have much to do during the winter vacation, so I want to go to the show with the troops. ”

Wang Xuefeng shook his head and said: "I have been rehearsing for a while now, and there is no task, but there may be one when the Chinese New Year is approaching, but you have to go to the Spring Festival Gala, and it is estimated that it will be too late." ”
