Chapter Ninety-Eight: Watching the Movie and Admitting Defeat

In another world, there has always been a very interesting phenomenon in the film and television industry.

In Jia Zhangke's movie, it is Zhao Tao, the male protagonist of flowing water. Because all the heroines of Jia Zhangke's script are described according to the appearance of his wife Zhao Tao.

And Jiang Wen's movie is the same, it seems to start with the play "The Sun Also Rises", and the existence of Zhou Yun is indispensable in every subsequent play.

This drama starts with Zhou Yun's shot, she went to buy a pair of embroidered shoes because she dreamed of it, and after waking up from the dream, the shoes really appeared. However, the shoes in the dream were lost, and she went crazy.

In just a few shots, it seems to be shot from the perspective of a madman, climbing trees, digging pits, carrying pebbles, and then his son Li Dongfang is constantly running.

This kind of fragment that does not tell a complete story at all made many viewers at the scene look in the clouds. Especially then before the first story ended, it jumped to another new plot, which made many professionals in the circle look confused.

On the contrary, Zhou Cheng watched it with relish, he was constantly confirming the film he had seen in his memory, but he didn't expect that Jiang Wen's interpretation of this play in the two worlds had not changed in the slightest.

As a screenwriter, Zhou Cheng in another world has watched this drama many times, and even found the script and original work of this drama to study. Zhou Cheng analyzed the plot of this play according to different clues, analyzed Jiang Wen's directing and editing techniques, and wrote a film review for this play on Douban.

When the movie ended, the lights in the theater were turned on, and the theater resounded with sparse applause, including Zhou Cheng.

"Brother Cheng, can you understand? It's not for sycophancy. Gu Xintong, who was sitting next to Zhou Cheng, saw that he was also applauding, and couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, Gu Xintong's question was also the question of Jiang Wu, who was sitting with them.

"Got it." Zhou Cheng smiled: "A woman, for the sake of the person of her dreams, waits for her life." In the end, when the gray hair was gray, he finally saw the tragedy of his life. ”

"It's that simple?" Jiang Wu was a little surprised. After Jiang Wen edited this film, he specially invited them to watch it, and there was also screenwriter Shu Ping with Jiang Wu at that time. And Shu Ping said roughly the same thing when Jiang Wu asked.

Zhou Cheng nodded at Jiang Wu: "If you want a straightforward description, it's as simple as that." ”

Gu Xintong heard the meaning of Zhou Cheng's words, and continued to ask: "So what if it's not straightforward?" Mr. Jiang Wen's movies have deep metaphors. ”

The lights in the theater were a little dazzling, Zhou Cheng stretched out his hand to block it, and said to Gu Xintong and Jiang Wu: "Actually, Mr. Jiang hid all the metaphors in the last paragraph. ”

"Is that the shot of Li Dongfang lying on the railroad tracks?" Gu Xintong felt that the shot was very beautiful, flowers covered the railroad tracks, and a baby was lying in the flowers, bathed in the sun.

"Do you remember the last line: Alyosha, don't be afraid, I will live well, raise the child to adulthood, and when you come back, the sky will be bright when he smiles, and the sun will rise as usual."

"You mean this is ......" Gu Xintong suddenly realized, looking at Zhou Cheng with admiration: "These are all what you thought of?" Or do you screenwriters like to tell a story in such a fog? ”

Zhou Cheng didn't answer her question, looked at Jiang Wu and said, "Teacher Jiang Wu, the movie is over, do you want us to find a place to have two drinks, I haven't thanked you for what happened just now." ”

"Yes, thanks to you, Mr. Jiang Wu, just now, I will invite you to dinner." Gu Xintong also sent out an invitation.

"Okay." Jiang Wu didn't shirk, looked at the two and said, "You wait for me for a while, I'll call Jiang Wen, if he knows that someone can understand his movie, he must be very happy." ”

Originally, Zhou Cheng thought that at today's premiere, Jiang Wen, as the protagonist, would be busy entertaining and would not be called away by Jiang Wu. It's just that he ignored Jiang Wen's personality, after the premiere, Jiang Wen went directly to the stage to announce the end of the premiere, without the organizer's Q&A, no interview with reporters, everything will wait for him to come back from the Venice Film Festival.

This made Wang Wei of Taihe Pictures almost vomit blood, and decided that he would never invest in Jiang Wen's movies in the future, and then invest in himself as a grandson.

-------------------------------------

Huang Teng, who left the cinema, knew that today's incident was a test for his son's career, and if he didn't handle it well, it might really become a stain on him. It may even be true that as Zhou Cheng said, he needs to leave the entertainment industry and change careers to other professions.

"Dad, is this okay?" At this time, Huang Yushan also felt that the incident was big, he had never seen his father so nervous.

"Now Zhou Cheng and those reporters are still at the scene and have not rushed back, we still have time to operate. Even if you can't turn the tide, you have to muddy the waters. Now there are still some online water armies, it's a big deal to spend a little more money and pour some dirty water on them. ”

When Huang Teng was still on the way, he contacted the editors-in-chief of two media outlets that Yanjing was more familiar with, hoping that they could help suppress the matter before it was detonated. If he could, Huang Teng even wanted to beat him up, slandering Zhou Cheng for not being able to invite him, and arranging for employees to frame his son.

However, what he didn't expect was that the two editors-in-chief immediately changed their attitudes after hearing that the person who had a dispute with him was called Zhou Cheng and repeatedly confirmed which Zhou Cheng it was. The two who originally called each other brothers and sisters have also changed to an official tone, with a businesslike attitude, whether the news will be released or not, and it needs to be determined after watching the real report on the scene.

In the end, one of them saw that Huang Teng usually cooperated very closely, so he revealed some information to him. It turned out that the last time the scandal between Zhou Cheng and Li Jiaqi came out, Zhao Chenan greeted various entertainment media in Beijing. Zhou Cheng is now famous in various entertainment media in Yanjing, and whether Zhou Cheng's news is released depends on the opinions of the leaders of the club.

After hearing the news, some of Huang Teng's original thoughts of revenge immediately dispersed, and the whole person also languished a lot. Huang Teng looked at his son who was also surprised next to him and said: "Yushan, after you go back, you will make a statement, saying that you will say goodbye to the entertainment industry for a period of time due to physical reasons." I'll find you someone to study abroad, and you can go abroad for a period of time. ”

"Dad, we're just throwing in the towel?" Huang Yushan looked at Huang Teng in disbelief and asked.

"What if you don't admit defeat, people are in charge of film and television production. There are so many film and television companies in Yanjing, which one doesn't need to look at other people's face. Huang Teng's tone improved a lot as he spoke, and he even raised his hand to slap his son, but finally sighed and put his hand down: "It's also my fault, I've been negligent in disciplining you since I was a child, so I made you so ignorant of the sky." I can't raise my godfather......"
