Chapter 8: The Bar
"Hey, Du Jie, come to the old place to gather, just one of you!"
"Yes, yes, I'm back, hurry up."
"Lao Chu is also here, just what he said was a treat!"
Ning Hao happily finished the phone call, and then went back indoors and discussed with Xing Aina:
"Daughter-in-law, this kid Du Jie said to invite us to drink in the evening, after all, we haven't seen each other for so long, and besides, aren't we going to cooperate, so let's celebrate in advance, what do you think?"
Xing Aina suddenly grabbed the pen in her hand, resisted the urge not to throw it on his head, and smiled: "Okay, let's pack up your things." ”
"Huh?"
Ning Hao was slightly stunned, why is he so good at talking today?
"Why are you stunned, let's go, let's go back to our place first, you ask Lao Chu what the situation is by the way, if it goes well, let's see if we can make an appointment with Zhou Lin."
Xing Aina looked at him still confused, and said angrily: "What's wrong, are you still afraid of what I will say?" Don't make such excuses in the future, I will know what the hell you're up to. ”
Ning Hao was stunned, and then hurriedly said with a smile: "Harm, isn't that what it is, if Old Chu Zhongdao collapses, you can also comfort and comfort him." ”
Xing Aina just snorted lightly at this:
"Cut, it's not the same."
Ning Hao smiled, and then sent a message to Chu Xuan, asking him to come to the old place to gather at night.
It's just that within a few seconds, Chu Xuan's call came back.
But half a minute, the phone hung up again.
Xing Aina asked, "What do you say?" Is it or is it not? ”
Ning Hao clenched his fist and encouraged it vigorously, laughing and laughing:
"Alright, get ready to work!"
…
…
"Okay, let's do it first, come to China Film tomorrow to sign a contract with me, happy cooperation, Director Chu."
Han Sanping shook hands with Chu Xuan quite respectfully.
"Thank you Han Dong for your trust, it will be, I am confident to say: this is just the beginning."
A large stone fell in Chu Xuan's heart, and he was in a very comfortable mood,
"At the same time, I would like to thank my teachers for their support, and I will live up to the name of Nortel in this life."
Wang Rui nodded with satisfaction, "Come on, remember what I said to you last time." ”
Then Chu Xuan left the office first, and when he went downstairs, he couldn't help but remember a brief but direct conversation just now.
"What do you mean?"
Han Sanping has also talked to many directors since he became the deputy director of the Beijing Film Studio in 94, but he has never heard such a reply, but he is not angry, but he is very curious:
"Tell me what you think, I'm curious about what kind of changes the new generation of directors will have, the year before last, I also communicated with the new director Lu Chuan for a long time before I decided to invest in his film "Looking for a Gun", although he is a few years older than you, but it seems that the two of you are completely different."
Chu Xuan didn't expect that there was such a relationship, but "Looking for a Gun", he hadn't seen it for the time being, but he heard that Jiang Wen was the starring actor?
But back to the topic, Chu Xuan just said very calmly, "I'm sorry Han Dong, I may have misunderstood you a little, but I never make this assumption because it's not necessary." ”
When Chu Xuan said this, he found that the two of them did not feel arrogant, so he continued:
"Movies are indeed full of uncertainties, everyone has the possibility of failure, even if he is the director, but all I can do is myself, do my best to complete what I should do, without worrying about the future, and the premise of completing all this is your trust in me,
Seeing is believing, hearing is false, and the practice of painting bread to satisfy hunger does not apply to me, so I simply show my own style, and leave the rest to others to judge.
But I only know one thing, investment is more about people, not about the so-called plan, so Han Dong, are you willing to believe me? ”
After Chu Xuan finished speaking, he quietly waited for a response again.
Han Sanping nodded thoughtfully, this answer directly threw the question to himself again, which means that it depends on his own courage?
But after such a while, he is indeed quite optimistic, and Han Sanping is not a person who follows the rules to achieve this position.
Then he looked at Wang Rui and sighed: "You are quite proud of this student!" ”
Immediately no longer hesitated, and said:
"Since you said 4 million, then 4 million, why not try!"
…
…
"I'm pushed by memory
You can only watch from the sidelines, not meddle
Look at you helplessly
Tears meandered~"
Bars in the capital have existed as early as the 90s, among which Sanlitun and Houhai are the most famous, but there are also differences, Sanlitun is suitable for dancing, and Houhai is quiet in the middle of noisy, listening to songs and watching the scenery.
Chu Xuan came to a bar called Haoyun, which can also be called the live house of this era, during which most of the resident singers were some underground bands or singers who loved rock and roll, such as second-hand roses, tongues lived here, and in the early days, Cui Jian was even lucky to take the stage.
As for today's resident singer, Chu Xuan didn't know him before, but as he approached the seat, he found that this person skimmed the messy long bangs and revealed a ... The face that is not easy to describe, what about the village head, the factory director or the head of Bao Gong?
Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he had sung here by such a coincidence!
However, it was not suitable to say hello at this time, and after a simple search, he found Ning Hao's figure, and then walked straight over.
At this time, there were already three people on the card seat, the other was Du Jie, who was not very old, but he looked more mature, his skin was as yellow as Ning Hao, but his face was quite long.
"Yo, Director Chu is finally here, welcome, please take a seat."
Chu Xuan was speechless, and directly skipped this joking word: "Yes, I know how to respect my boss, I have to be like this in the workplace, Ning Photography has improved." ”
Then I said hello to Du Jie.
Du Jie couldn't help but be happy, "Haozi, this skill is gradually declining, even Lao Chu can't survive, by the way, didn't Teacher Zhou come?" ”
Ning Hao pursed his lips, he didn't know why, it was as if someone had suddenly opened his mind, he used to only occasionally make people unable to answer, but now every sentence can be prickly.
"Hey, don't bring this, wait until next time you give me a photographer, let's have a good discussion."
Chu Xuan said perfunctorily: "No problem, it's up to you." ”
And then I briefly talked about today's events,
"I've gone to Mr. Zhou, he just asked for leave, forget it today, finally talk about business, sign the contract tomorrow, let's get together again tomorrow, we can start it, this time the speed should be fast, I want to start shooting at the end of September as much as possible, the shooting will be completed in a month and a half, leaving a month for post-production, and finally it will be released in January."
Ning Hao nodded in response, but still asked, "Isn't that a film festival?" Maybe you can sell it to get back the money, and then don't you have a hand in publicity? ”
This is the current consistent practice, and even before the movie is filmed, the major distribution companies have been contacted, and after that, there will be a pit operation to sell films, but Chu Xuan is not like this.
"That's so, but I don't think there are many choices for domestic schedules, and Chinese people haven't developed the habit of going to the cinema in their leisure time, so they can only choose summer files, but it's too slow for me, let's see the real chapter with the naked eye, and when it is released in China, you can also find a distribution company overseas."
Ning Hao nodded:
"It's a hurry, but it's not a big problem, and when it's over, my travel expenses are enough."
Du Jie also said: "I haven't received a job in the past two months, no problem." ”
"Okay, that's it, today, drink!"
Chu Xuan raised his wine glass, and everyone touched one and began to talk, one cup touching another.
In fact, the mode of friends getting along in leisure is like this, throwing out real life, you can go from Pangu Kaitian to anti-Qing and Mingming, and from serious topics to gossip and entertainment.
"But love and sorrow
Who can live on it for how long
We can finally be sure
Unable to adapt to each other
Only on a night of pouring rain
Decided to break up~"
When he raised his glass again, Chu Xuan's eyes happened to meet the singer who had finished singing and was ready to leave, his love and sorrow may have taken root in a corner that no one cared about, but it was these that created the classic image of a little person.
Chu Xuan gestured to him, then smiled and made an inviting gesture, and then he paused for two seconds before simply taking a bottle of wine from the backstage and walking over.
As he got closer and closer, Chu Xuan sighed:
"Hello, Huang Bo."
