Hoh Xil means "beautiful maiden" in Mongolian, and it is a mysterious and desirable place.

The vast prairie, the majestic snow-capped mountains, the strange glaciers, the crystal clear lakes......

Since ancient times, beautiful things have always seemed to be coveted by people, and sin and violence often follow.

In the eighties and nineties, the beautiful natural area of Hoh Xil has been shrouded in human evils such as killing, greed, etc.

The movie "Ke Ke Xili" is a very good movie, which has won many awards at home and abroad, with a Douban score of 8.9 points, which is the top 250 Douban movies.

Some people commented on "Ke Ke Xili", saying that it is the best crime drama in Chinese movies, and it is a hymn to life and faith.

Compared with Xiangjiang's crime dramas, "Ke Ho Xili" looks LOW at first glance, with a strong earthy flavor.

The policemen in the Xiangjiang crime movie, everyone wears hairspray and leather clothes, and they can face thousands of troops with just a small pistol. What submachine guns, grenades, rockets and other heavy firepower weapons are completely bad in front of the protagonist's aura.

The mountain patrol team of "Hoh Xili", each wearing old cotton jackets, dirty like homeless people all day long, they do not have an advantage in the face of poachers, and they will be killed if they are not careful.

Thinking back to the plot of "Ke Ke Xili", the group of people in the mountain patrol team are really a wreck, they want money and no money, and they even have to borrow money from the girlfriend of the wine lady to save their teammates.

But even so, no matter how difficult the days were, the mountain patrol team still did not give up, they carried heavy responsibilities with lofty ideals, and survived tenaciously.

These people are living ordinary people and real unsung heroes.

Fang Yan's choice for his next film is "Ke Ke Xili", which he decided after careful consideration.

The themes of this film are so good – life, faith, humanity, protecting animals......

According to the correct aesthetic of the future Western film industry, it is only short of the elements of blackness and homosexuality.

Judging from the previous life, after the release of "Ke Ke Xili" in 2004, it won the Best Asian Film at the Xiangjiang Film Awards, the Best Film at the Golden Horse Awards, the Best Feature Film Award at the Chinese Golden Rooster Film Festival, and the Grand Jury Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

The domestic awards, "Ke Ke Xili" can be said to have won all over again, but the only pity is that it did not win awards at the three major European film festivals.

To be honest, winning the award depends on luck, even if it is an excellent movie, it will regret to win the award because of the aesthetic differences of the judges.

In this life, Fang Yan filmed "Ke Ke Xili" a few years in advance, and when the time came, he went to the three major European film festivals to compete, and he did not have the opportunity to make up for his regrets.

…………

A week later, in the morning—

"Hey, who's that?"

Fang Yan yawned after picking up the phone, feeling sleepy to death.

"Son, did you really win an award at the Berlin Film Festival?"

Zhao Jing's voice came from the phone, sounding a little excited and a little confused.

Fang Yan said with a smile: "Mom, didn't I tell you before." ”

After winning the Golden Bear Award for Best Short Film, Fang Yan called home as soon as possible, wanting to share the good news with his family.

However, what they didn't expect was that Zhao Jing and Fang Yao didn't believe it at all, both of them thought that Fang Yan was talking drunk.

At that time, Fang Yao also unceremoniously mocked Fang Yan, saying that if he could win the award, the sows would be able to go up the tree.

Fang Yan repeatedly explained that it had no effect, so he gave up directly.

Indeed, Fang Yan hadn't told his family about the competition before, and they were not psychologically prepared for such a sudden news, so naturally they wouldn't believe it.

Today, I don't know what Zhao Jing suddenly smoked, and he actually took the initiative to ask about this matter again.

"You kid too, I didn't explain it well before."

Zhao Jing complained: "If it weren't for a reporter calling me today, I would have been in the dark!" ”

"Uh......"

Fang Yan was speechless - how many times have I explained before, you don't believe it alive or dead, what can I do.

Never reason with a woman, even if you win the reason, you will lose the relationship.

In the next call, Fang Yan figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out to be a local newspaper in Weizhou, and I didn't know where I got the news of Fang Yan's award, so I contacted Zhao Jing and wanted to interview.

For the small place of Weizhou, Fang Yan was able to win an award at the International Film Festival, even if he won a small award, it was a great achievement.

Usually the newspaper is worried that there is nothing to write, but now with the good subject of Fang Yan, it is enough to write several press releases.

"Mom, when the reporter is interviewing, you pay attention to what you say, and don't talk about everything."

Fang Yan was afraid that Zhao Jing would tell some of his black history, so he hurriedly instructed.

Hearing this, Zhao Jing was immediately unhappy.

"What do you mean, stinky boy, are you afraid that your mother and I will be ashamed to speak?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that!"

……

After chatting for a long time, Fang Yan finally got rid of his mother's nagging and cut off the phone.

"Alas—it's finally over!"

Fang Yan sighed, lying on the sofa tiredly and not moving.

"It's not too early, let's get to work."

After resting for a while, Fang Yan got up lazily and walked to the study.

On the table in the study, there are a lot of books, which are all related materials of Hoh Xili.

After the celebration banquet, Fang Yan began to devote himself to the script creation of "Ke Ke Xili".

Compared with the previous "Tuner", the script of "Ke Ke Xili" is several times more informative, and the difficulty of filming is also very different.

Fang Yan poorly estimated that the crew would have at least 100 people this time, and the overall cost would be about two or three million.

As soon as he thought of this, Fang Yan was worried, and there were many things to prepare.

First of all, there is the issue of film funding, with so much money of two or three million, he will definitely not be able to come up with it alone.

Even if you include the music VAM agreement, the prize money is far from this amount.

In the current situation, we can only find other companies to attract investment.

In fact, for Fang Yan at this time, the advantages of pulling investment outweigh the disadvantages.

On the disadvantages, after having an investor, Fang Yan can't say it alone, which may affect his directorial authority.

On the positive side, Fang Yan, as a fledgling rookie director, now has no foundation at all, and has no resources and connections.

How to find the hundreds of crew members? Where can I borrow my equipment? What should I do when the movie is released and released?

These problems are not easy to solve, and finding a powerful investor to cooperate can save a lot of trouble.

"Ke Ke Xili" is a literary film, and the nature of the subject matter is destined to make its box office not very high, so Fang Yan is also willing to cut a part of the cake to others.

For any industry, those who eat alone will not end well, and win-win cooperation is the last word.

…………

Time flies, the busy month of March has passed, and April is coming.

There is a big event this month, Fang Yan's first work as a music producer - Xu Wei's new album "Blue Lotus" began to go on sale.
