For some of the old artists in the conference room, "Dao Ma Dan" seems kitsch and impetuousness in content, and it is not a film that truly expresses and praises revolutionary feelings.

However, today was not really a meeting, but the Film Bureau received a task from the central government, asking them to get closer to Kang Jianfei, so they made such a nondescript exchange meeting.

So even if they think it's not good, these old gentlemen will "take care of the overall situation" and won't casually spray Kang Jianfei to shoot badly.

In addition to some old-fashioned filmmakers, the new generation of directors like Chen Kaige admires Kang Jianfei's film narrative method very much. Moreover, the elegant and vulgar appreciation of "Dao Ma Dan" made Chen Kai Ge Mao suddenly, and suddenly figured out in his mind: It turns out that a movie with a revolutionary theme can still be made like this - the Film Bureau's definition of "Dao Ma Dan" is a revolutionary film.

"I think this "Sword and Horse" directed by Kang Jianfei, first of all, its characters are very vivid, and several heroes and heroines have their own characteristics, and they are not the hero image of Wei Guangzheng. They have shortcomings in greed for money, cowardice, impulsiveness, etc., but this does not hide their patriotic sentiments, but makes the audience feel closer and more loved, because they are all ordinary people of flesh and blood......" The first to speak and evaluate was Chen Huaikai, this old man is Chen Kaige's father, and he is also a well-known director of Beijing Film Studio.

Chen Huaikai used to be a person who had been in Hong Kong, worked in Li Yongzu and Zhang Shankun's Yonghua Films, returned to the mainland on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China to support the G Industrial Party, and was promoted to deputy director of the Central Film Bureau in 1949 (assistant director is both a job and a title).

This kind of qualification can't be deeper, even Wang Yang, the director of Beijing Film Studio, can only be commensurate with Chen Huaikai's friend, and can't forcibly order him to do anything.

"Director Chen said it very penetratingly," He Xinhuai, another professor of Beijing Opera, continued, "The leaders said that they want to reform and open up." This reform and opening up is not only about developing the economy, but also about the need for reform and opening up after ten years of stagnant development of our Chinese films. For example, director Zhang's "Shaolin Temple" is a model of film cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong. In the film cooperation and exchange, our film staff also learned a lot of Hong Kong film skills. "Sword and Horse" is a very good film, it inspired me a lot, and after this movie is released in the mainland, I will definitely recommend my students to study and watch it seriously. ”

Deputy Director Zhao of the Film Bureau nodded and said: "Professor He's speech is strategic, our Chinese film really needs reform and opening up. The set of model dramas in the past. The masses of the people don't like it anymore, so we must learn from other people's good things. Mr. Kang Kim-fei is not only Hong Kong's leading director, but also a well-known international director, he once directed and filmed an American movie called "Home Alone", which grossed nearly $200 million worldwide. Such a great director with advanced experience. Being able to participate in the exchange meeting of the Film Bureau today will definitely make everyone here gain something. ”

"A movie sells for $200 million. How much forex do you have to earn? ”

"Fake. How can a movie sell hundreds of millions. ”

"It's not impossible, "Shaolin Temple" sold more than 100 million."

"This Director Kang seems to be a big capitalist."

“……”

Deputy Director Zhao's words obviously suppressed these people, and no matter how loud they were praised, they were not as direct as more than 100 million US dollars, and there was a buzzing and noisy discussion in the conference room.

"Where, Director Zhao has won the award," Kang Jianfei said quickly. The bunch of people in front of him lifted him to the sky, which was to give him face, and the sedan chair carried people, and he Kang Jianfei naturally had to send back a few nice words. "In fact, there are many high-quality films in the mainland, take "Yellow Earth" directed by Chen Kaige as an example, I personally appreciate and admire it very much, and the sense of national heaviness cannot be made by a commercial director like me. And I also heard that in order to score "Yellow Earth", director Chen Kaige went to the northwest with Mr. Zhang Yimou and Mr. Zhao Jiping to collect wind, and listened to folk songs with farmers in the cave under the north wind of minus 20 degrees, and did homely work, and slept naked in the soil medicine at night, staying for more than a month. I admire this hard-working spirit very much, and it is also something that we filmmakers in Hong Kong need to learn. ”

Blindly touting Kang Jianfei before, it had already made some people here feel uncomfortable, but now Kang Jianfei praised and praised Kang Jianfei, and immediately received a very good effect. Although he only praised Brother Chen Kai and "Yellow Earth", others were honored, and their impression of Kang Jianfei was much better.

"Director Kang praised falsely, it is a fluke that "Yellow Earth" can win awards abroad, I still have many shortcomings, and I need to exchange and learn more from my counterparts in Hong Kong." Brother Chen Kai and Liu Xiaoqing were the youngest in the conference room, they basically came to make soy sauce, and now they are appreciated by Kang Jianfei's movie, and they suddenly feel that they have face.

Deputy Director Zhao was also very happy and said with a smile: "Indeed, just like Mr. Kang said, our filmmakers have a precious revolutionary tradition, and this spirit of being conscientious and responsible, hard-working and hard-working can never be lost......"

The great director Xie Jin said: "The backwardness of mainland films is reflected in two aspects, one is ideological, and the other is technical. It is much more difficult to solve the problem in terms of technique and technology, and it is much more difficult to lag behind in thought, and I think "Dao Ma Dan" gives a good idea, that is, to restore the hero to a human ......"

Ladies and gentlemen, you speak every word, Kang Jianfei basically just closes his mouth and listens.

The communication lasted until half past eleven, and then temporarily ended the meeting and went to the cafeteria to eat, and in the afternoon, I had to continue to watch "Yellow Earth", and continued to "communicate" after watching it.

The reason why Kang Jianfei has so much spare time to talk nonsense with them is mainly because of his proposal to build a joint venture with the mainland, which is still controversial within the Ministry of Culture. Some people think that movies belong to the field of ideology and culture, and cinemas cannot be invested by private individuals, and some think that they should be bold and let go.

Before the Ministry of Culture made a decision, the Film Bureau naturally arranged for Kang Jianfei to participate in the event, and this film exchange meeting was for him to mix time.

Not only that, but a singing and dancing performance was also arranged in the evening, and the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe was specially invited to perform.

As for the review of DreamWorks films, the Film Bureau has also arranged a special team to do it. First of all, we must pick out the kind of movies with serious ideological problems, which will be shot directly, and then choose which ones can be released directly. What needs to be cut and modified.

And arranging the schedule is simpler, because there is no May Day and 11th holiday at this time, and there are no companies' movies and DreamWorks to grab the box office, and an executive order will be arranged across the country.

Of course, it is inevitable that local cinemas will conceal the box office, and Kang Jianfei's biggest expectation is not to make too many pirated copies. Although there are state-run movie theaters everywhere, China is too big, and there are too many copies needed after the release of films across the country, and local theaters can't prohibit private copies and concealment of box office reports.

The biggest enemy of the Celestial Empire's cultural and creative undertakings is piracy, and this problem cannot be solved after thirty years. At this time, it was the state-owned units that took the lead in piracy. In the 90s, the great writer Marquez visited Beijing/Beijing, and found rows of pirated copies of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in Xinhua bookstore, so angry that the Nobel laureate in literature vowed never to sell the copyright to China.

……

Lunch in the canteen of the film bureau was very "modest". Those who sat at the same table with Kang Jianfei were in addition to Deputy Director Zhao, Xie Jin, Chen Huaikai, Chen Kaige and others. There were also a few old gentlemen in their sixties and seventies.

Because Liu Xiaoqing was once nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards. He also met Kang Jianfei in Hong Kong, so he was specially arranged to sit next to Kang Jianfei.

Although Liu Xiaoqing is a well-known star in the country, she didn't have the right to speak on that occasion in the morning, and now it is her home field at the dinner table.

"Mr. Kang, we meet again. You noble people are so forgetful, I don't know if there is an image of me? Liu Xiaoqing shook hands with Kang Jianfei with a smile. The fingers scratched Kang Jianfei's palm as if nothing.

Kang Jianfei didn't know in the face of Liu Xiaoqing's hookup, withdrew his hand and smiled: "Miss Liu has a touching temperament and elegant conversation, but I was very impressed on the day of the Academy Awards, where would I not remember?" ”

Liu Xiaoqing opened a bottle of Moutai. After pouring a circle of wine, Luo Luo generously raised his glass and said: "Welcome Mr. Kang to the capital for inspection and exchange, I respect Mr. Kang for a glass!" ”

When the Chinese people arrived at the wine table, Mr. Serious would also become improper, Chen Huaikai coaxed at this time: "There is a lesbian here today, Xiaoqing's wine, Mr. Kang, you can't help but drink it." ”

"Everyone is my senior, it's okay to call me well-off, Mr. Kang Mr. Kang's sound is awkward," Kang Jianfei stood up with the cup and said, "Since it is Miss Liu's toast, then I will dry it in one gulp!" ”

Seeing Kang Jianfei lowering his posture like this, all the old gentlemen were quite useful, and shouted after he toasted: "Well-off and good wine, have another glass!" ”

The consequence of having a lunch was that the exchange meeting in the afternoon could not be held, and Kang Jianfei drank a whole table of people, leaving the nickname of "Bacchus" in the domestic film circle.

"Director, can you still hold the exchange meeting in the afternoon?" Director Zhao's secretary came running and asked.

Deputy Director Zhao was already drunk and hazy at this time, and said as he walked on the table: "It's still ...... What's more...... Open, I'm ...... I'm going to get some sleep first, and I'm ...... at night On the Singing and Dancing Table...... Wake me up before acting! ”

Reform and opening up has led to China's rapid development, but it has also brought about many unhealthy tendencies, and it was impossible to eat and drink such public funds in a big way ten years ago.

At the gate of the canteen, Liu Xiaoqing, who was so drunk, took the initiative to support Kang Jianfei and said, "Mr. Kang, I'll send you back." ”

Kang Jianfei was only half-drunk, in fact, he was much more sober than Liu Xiaoqing, and he knew what this woman was thinking.

Originally, Zeng Bolin and Liu Fei were going to help Kang Jianfei get into the car, but now that Liu Xiaoqing, a beautiful woman, suddenly joined, Zeng Bolin gave up his position very interestingly.

Back in the hotel room, Liu Xiaoqing took care of him like a virtuous wife, and after helping him take off his shoes, socks and coat, he also brought hot water to wash Kang Jianfei's face.

Liu Xiaoqing leaned over to wash Kang Jianfei's face, the full breasts were really amazing, moving back and forth with the action of wiping his face, pressing back and forth on Kang Jianfei's chest.

Kang Jianfei really had no resistance to a beautiful woman, and before he knew it, his hand had moved to Liu Xiaoqing's buttocks, and the latter suddenly let out a coquettish cry, and he had been turned over by Kang Jianfei and pressed under him.

……

After more than an hour, Liu Xiaoqing finally knew what it meant to play with fire and self-immolation, Kang Jianfei's excessive demands made her whole body limp, and now she couldn't get up from the bed at all.

"You must have been a cow in your last life, and you can't use all your strength!" Liu Xiaoqing said half-complaining and half-flattering, and his silky appearance was indescribably attractive.

Kang Jianfei jokingly sighed: "There is no bad field. Only tired cows, it's hard to be a man. ”

"What a bad field, you are so bad!" Liu Xiaoqing said coquettishly, and slapped Kang Jianfei a few times before he said, "I heard Jiahui say that he has also entered your company now?" ”

"yes." Kang Jianfei's eyes narrowed and he smiled, he already had an understanding of this woman's shrewdness. Leung Ka-fai only joined DreamWorks last week, and judging from the speed of information dissemination at this time, it must have been Liu Xiaoqing who called Leung Ka-fai.

Liu Xiaoqing then began to complain again: "It's better to be an actor in Hong Kong." In the mainland, the most famous actor like me can only get a salary of a few hundred yuan for filming a movie. ”

Kang Jianfei stroked her smooth waist and deliberately pretended to be stupid: "China will develop sooner or later, and the treatment of actors in the mainland will be better than that of Hong Kong." ”

"Then we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue," Liu Xiaoqing saw that Kang Jianfei didn't pay attention to what she meant. He simply explained, "Jian Fei." How about you say I'm going to Hong Kong to film? ”

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: "Hong Kong is very xenophobic. If you want to go to Hong Kong, you must at least learn to speak Cantonese. ”

With a hint of longing on his face, Liu Xiaoqing asked, "If I learn Cantonese, can I join DreamWorks as an actor?" ”

"But you can, but I'm afraid that Director Wang will blame me for poaching his protégé." Kang Jianfei said with a smile. Although he doesn't care about women's greed for money, this Liu Xiaoqing is too direct. Could it be that because of one bed, you can run to Hong Kong and be praised by DreamWorks?

Some women just play a few times, and it's really not necessary to maintain a relationship for a long time. Of course, if Liu Xiaoqing is a virgin, it will be another matter, although Kang Jianfei has no bottom line. But there is still a little sense of responsibility.

Liu Xiaoqing finally heard the perfunctory in Kang Jianfei's tone, her smile was a little reluctant, and said: "Director Wang still attaches great importance to the actor's own choice. ”

Kang Jianfei said: "Whatever you want, but the competition in Hong Kong is very fierce, and I don't guarantee that you will become popular." ”

Liu Xiaoqing finally smiled, she said: "I am satisfied to be able to go to Hong Kong, but I dare not expect to be a big star." ”

Regarding Liu Xiaoqing's choice, Kang Jianfei can only sigh and sigh, and if he doesn't let the big stars in the mainland do it, he has to go to Hong Kong to be a small actor. This may be difficult to understand in 20 years, but now it is normal, Liu Xiaoqing, a big star, makes a maximum of two movies a year, and his salary plus subsidies makes the annual income of only more than 1,000, which is not as good as the monthly income of ordinary workers in Hong Kong.

At the beginning, in order to get a Beijing hukou, Liu Xiaoqing chose to marry someone she didn't like, and now in order to go to Hong Kong, she is also trying her best to curry favor with Kang Jianfei.

The two played upside down for an afternoon, although Kang Jianfei "disdainned" Liu Xiaoqing's personality, but he was still relatively satisfied with her body.

In the evening, Liu Xiaoqing didn't have the strength to get up to eat, and said to Kang Jianfei: "Jianfei, you tell Director Wang on my behalf, just say that I am not feeling well and will not go to watch the song and dance performance." ”

"You can get some rest." Kang Jianfei lifted his pants and smiled.

After finishing the meal at the restaurant, Kang Jianfei took the car to the film bureau to watch the performance of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.

The last time I visited Beijing with Shao Yifu, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office also arranged a performance by the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, but that performance was bigger and more formal. Tonight's show is an internal performance of the Film Bureau, the performance is held in the auditorium of the Film Bureau, and the performers are all young literary and artistic workers who are not very famous.

Less than half of the old gentlemen who ate together at noon came to watch the performance, after all, they were old and really didn't have any extra energy after getting drunk.

The auditorium in the small auditorium was almost full, most of them were internal employees of the Film Bureau, and some other units came to join in the fun when they heard the news.

Kang Jianfei sat next to Deputy Director Zhao, chatted with him before the performance started, and finally talked about the topic of joint venture to build a cinema.

"To tell the truth, there are still some comrades who can't let go of their minds, thinking that the cultural undertaking of movie theaters cannot be handed over to private individuals," Deputy Director Zhao sighed, "I support Mr. Kang's idea very much, you pay for us to pay for the land, this is a good thing for everyone." ”

The construction of the cinema is under the management of the Film Bureau, and in the discussion of whether the Ministry of Culture will allow Kang Jianfei to invest in the cinema, several bigwigs from the Film Bureau participated.

In fact, the so-called discussions are secondary, and the most important thing to do is to see the decision of the leaders above, as long as the leaders say that they can, and the opposition from the bottom can only be implemented.

Kang Jianfei asked: "How is the film market in the mainland now?" ”

Deputy Director Zhao smiled slyly: "There is a lot of potential. ”

"I also know this. That's why I want to invest in cinemas in the mainland. Kang Jianfei said.

The song and dance performance started soon, and Kang Jianfei was not interested in the song and dance on the stage, but kept chatting with Deputy Director Zhao.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Kang Jianfei also promised to donate a few office computers to the Film Bureau and a set of advanced film shooting equipment to Beijing Film Studio.

Deputy Director Zhao is no longer so secretive, and has reservations to tell Kang Jianfei about some of the current situation of the mainland film market.

"Now there are no domestic films, and it is true that "Yellow Earth" has won awards internationally, but the box office is only a fraction of "Shaolin Kid"," Deputy Director Zhao said with emotion, "The masses prefer to watch movies that are easy and entertaining." Except for a few domestic films such as "Lushan Love", they cannot attract the masses at all. Now the best selling in the mainland film market is still the films of the Yindu organization every year, Mr. Kang, if you enter the mainland market, the biggest competitor is Yindu. ”

If it's fair competition. Kang Jianfei is naturally not afraid, but the major film companies under the Yindu Organization. It's a leftist film business for decades. There are some things that Kang Jianfei really can't compete with them.

For example, the Spring Festival and summer vacation, which are the best-selling periods at the box office, are basically local films from the mainland and leftist films from Yindu institutions, and DreamWorks' films can only pick up what others have left.

"Sunrise Songshan Pass

The morning bell startles the birds

The brook in the forest is babbling

Green grass on the slopes

Wild fruity mountain flowers

The dog jumps and the sheep runs

Raise the whip and shake it gently

……”

While the two were talking, a pleasant singing voice suddenly came from the stage.

Kang Jianfei couldn't help but look up, but saw a girl dressed in ancient costumes and holding a leather whip in her hand. Apparently the shepherdesss girl in C0SPLAY "Shaolin Temple".

Today's singing and dancing performances are mainly to welcome Kang Jianfei, so the singing and dancing performances are all related to movies.

A song "Shepherd's Song" was sung by the beautiful woman on the stage with tenderness, which was more sugar than Zheng Xulan's original song. Sweet and greasy can sing a man's heart.

Not only that, but the singer also sang and danced, although Kang Jianfei didn't know what she danced, but he thought it was quite good-looking.

"Who's that little girl singing?" Kang Jianfei pointed to the singer on the stage and asked.

Today's small song and dance performances are all unknown singers and dancers in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, where will Deputy Director Zhao know? He said: "After the performance, I helped Mr. Kang ask, is Mr. Kang interested in her? ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "This little girl's dancing is good, and her singing voice is very sweet, and she has great potential for cultivation." If the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe is willing to let her go, I would like to sign her to my record company. ”

Deputy Director Zhao said with a smile: "This is very easy, today's performers are not famous artists, if Mr. Kang shows your sincerity, the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe will definitely release people." ”

Kang Jianfei just said it so casually, he couldn't really see it offstage, he just felt that the little girl on the stage was very familiar, and the singing voice was very sweet, very suitable for singing love songs.

Deputy Director Zhao kept it in mind, after all, Kang Jianfei had just promised to donate a batch of office computers to the Film Bureau, and also promised to give some advanced equipment to Beijing Film Studio. These things are worth tens of millions, far more important than a small singer in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.

Before the performance was over, Deputy Director Zhao called his secretary over and whispered: "Go and inquire who the little girl who sang "The Shepherdess Girl" just now is." ”

A few minutes later, the secretary ran back and bit the root of the ear beside Deputy Director Zhao.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After a round of applause, tonight's cabaret performance finally came to an end.

Deputy Director Zhao said to Kang Jianfei: "Mr. Kang, that female singer is called Li Ningyu, who was personally recruited into the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe by artist Wang Kun, and is ready to focus on training, I am afraid it will be difficult to dig her." ”
