"I'm going back to Treasure Island this time to visit the old man, and I'm going to ask him! He is a warm-hearted person who likes to help juniors. All my previous movies are inseparable from the support of the old man. ”

It turned out that after Li An graduated from NYU University in a beautiful country, he went home to work as a family cook.

And it's been 6 years since I did it.

He was not idle while cooking and washing, and wrote two scripts of "Pushing Hands" and "The Wedding Banquet", and won two script awards on Treasure Island in one fell swoop.

At that time, Li An was so poor that he didn't have the money to buy a plane ticket to fly back to Baodao to receive the award, but Xu Ligong provided him with an economy class ticket, so Li An was able to return to Baodao to receive the award.

After returning home, Li An, who was wearing shabby jeans and a T-shirt, knocked on the door of Xu Ligong's office with his signature shy smile and the script of "Pushing Hands".

After Xu Ligong read the script, he decisively expressed his willingness to provide a production fee of NT$12 million to Li An.

12 million is converted into more than 2 million Chinese coins, and I have to go to a beautiful country to shoot, so it can be said that the budget is quite tight.

In order to save expenses, Li An not only grabbed Li Han, the eldest son who was still a little baby, but also smashed the dining table at home during the shooting.

In such a hurry, Li An spent 24 days filming "Pushing Hands" and personally did the post-editing.

The film was a great success upon its release, winning the Grand Jury Prize at the 1991 Golden Horse Awards, and Li An officially stepped into the film industry.

After that, with the support of Xu Ligong, Li An successively filmed "The Wedding Banquet", "Eating Men and Women", and until the just-finished "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

It can be said that the success of Li An's directorial career is most inseparable from this great benefactor.

If they could have the help of this old man, Qin Qi and Yan Heng would not have to worry.

"Okay, Director Li, we're waiting for your good news."

"Well, when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is released next year, the old man should come to the capital, you have all the preparations done, and we can communicate at any time."

Director Li An is a person who cherishes talents, and he himself started as a screenwriter, so he did not hesitate to help Qin Qi's junior.

Of course, Li An's willingness to help is also related to Qin Qi and Yan Heng's successful operation of "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog".

Li An himself felt incredible, even if such a movie was handed over to him, he was not confident that it would cause such a big sensation.

After chatting, it's time for everyone to eat the finale feast.

It can be seen that Qin Shu is very popular on the set, and everyone recognizes her efforts along the way, and Li An also praised Qin Shu several times in front of everyone.

After the banquet was over, Qin Shu followed Qin Qi back to the city.

On the second day, Qin Qi took Qin Shu to take a good turn at Huaqing University, and then went to the Beijing Opera Academy for a turn.

When they arrived at the territory of Peking Opera, Liu Ye came out to receive them even more deservedly.

A few people went to the alley to stutter a meal of roast duck, and Liu Ye naturally shared the gossip of his classmates with everyone.

It turned out that don't look at the Beijing Opera 96 students at that time were all future actors, but it was very painful when they were students, several people were making a fuss about dropping out, and they didn't practice their morning skills, and the school was so angry that they stopped class, and they stopped after their freshman year and sophomore year, which was super difficult to bring.

Qin Qi listened to it with relish beside him.

Only then did she know that the original level 96 not only had Liu Ye, Zhang Ziyi, Yuan Quan, but also Qin Hailu, Qin Hao, Chen Minghao and so on.

"It doesn't matter, although everyone doesn't have much confidence now, but soon you will all become half of the Chinese film and television industry." Qin Qi said with a smile.

"Then thank you for your good words! I'll talk to Lao Qin and Lao Chen when I go back. ”

Qin Qi wanted to say that it might be too late for these two to become famous, but she still kept her mouth shut.

As a person with past life experience, the most important principle is not to easily reveal the heavens to others......

When Qin Shu went to the bathroom, Liu Ye suddenly lowered his voice and whispered to Yan Heng and Qin Qi.

"By the way, has there been a popular book called "Beijing Story" in your university recently? It tells the story of two men who fall in love. Liu Ye said with a smile.

"Of course it's popular, but it's not a book, it's a printed version!"

At this time, the penetration rate of computers was not high, and there were not many people in university dormitories who had computers, so everyone could only watch the printed version of the Internet.

"Hehe, this is amazing."

If 1998's "The First Close Contact" is the source of the Internet, then the second one that caused a sensation is this "Beijing Story".

Qin Qi wanted to tell Liu Ye that soon he was going to see this movie called "Lan Yu", and he was also one of the protagonists in the film, but she still kept her mouth shut at the right time.

She's afraid of scaring the big boy in front of her!

On the second day, Qin Qi sent his sister on the train back to Qi City.

Unexpectedly, at the train station, I met an aunt who recognized Qin Shu and pulled Qin Shu to sign for her.

It turned out that "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" began to be popular in the past few days, so Qin Shu was recognized.

Looking at this situation, when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is released, Qin Shu estimates that the whole country will be famous.

While it's not famous at the moment, it's better to hurry back to school haha!

As soon as "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" was released in China, it was indeed completely different from the cold treatment in the previous life.

Because, everyone wants to see what this film that has earned a soft hand in the cherry blossom country looks like.

In particular, Director Zhang's "My Father and Mother" has not been withdrawn from theaters, so the discussion about these two films is also very loud.

Director Huo is directly regarded by everyone as the successor of the fifth generation of directors.

Several of their main creators are doing interviews and meetings, but they don't have time to spare.

However, Yan Heng and Qin Qi were not too tired, both of them refused the request for interviews and premiere appearances, and only took classes seriously at school with peace of mind.

The end of the year is coming in a blink of an eye, and all kinds of media are imagining which one will be the box office champion this year.

Director Feng launched the last part of his Chinese New Year film trilogy, "Endless", in December, intending to continue his glory again.

With the aftermath of "Party A and Party B" and "See You or Leave" in the previous two years, "Endless" has a strong momentum as soon as it is released, and it has the momentum to impact the annual champion.

In the end, although it was not as good as the 40 million box office of "See You or Leave" the previous year, it also achieved a box office of 35 million, which can be regarded as a masterpiece.

As for Director Zhang's "No One is Missing" in the first half of the year, the box office was 30 million, and "My Father and Mother" was a bit regrettable, only getting 8 million box office, ranking 11th in the annual box office list.

The biggest dark horse is, of course, "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", and in the end, the box office rushed directly to 38 million, pushing "Endless" to second place.

In this way, coupled with the fact that the box office in Sakura Country has also passed the 40 million mark, "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" became a hot mess for a while.
