Chapter 329: Inside and Outside the Circle
Dec. 4, 3 p.m.
The premiere of "Sleepy Father" was unusually low-key.
There are no red carpets, no events and shows, and the guests come and go straight in, and this simple mode makes people feel like going to the cinema to watch a movie.
Fortunately, there are indeed stars sitting in the front row of the audience.
Ning Hao and Huang Bo walked into the screening hall and saw a crowd of people in the front row at a glance.
In addition to the main creator of "Sleepy Father", there are also Jiang Wen, Zhou Yun, Feng Datie, Xu Fan, Wang Shuo......
This big guy in the Beijing circle, as long as he has a relationship with any of them, his movie can't be stuck for so long without a clue.
"Director Ning, Teacher Huang, you are here."
Yang Mi, who was talking to Zhou Yun, saw Ning Hao and stood up to greet her.
"Hey, don't, just call me by my name."
"Me too, or call me neck."
Ning Hao and Huang Bo both said immediately.
"That's okay, in this way, I'll call you Brother Hao, Brother Bo, you just call me Mimi, between our friends, it's not good to call me too angry." Yang Miyan smiled.
Friend......
Ning Hao and Huang Bo's eyes flashed with surprise, didn't they come today to make friends?
Immediately agreed.
"Brother Hao, Brother Bo, let's go, I'll introduce you to you."
Ning Hao and Huang Bo only felt that every word and arrangement of Yang Mi seemed to be according to their wishes.
"Then thank you, Mimi."
"No thanks, we're all friends." Yang Mi replied.
The two followed behind her with smiles on their faces.
"Brother Hao and Brother Bo are here."
Yang Mi touched Qin Muchu, who was talking to Jiang Wen and the others.
Qin Muchu was a little puzzled who this "Brother Hao" and "Brother Bo" were, only to find that it was Ning Hao and Huang Bo when he looked back.
Although I don't know when the relationship between Yang Mi and the two of them has risen to the title of "brother", I didn't dismantle the stage, followed Yang Mi's words, and introduced the two to a few people around them.
In fact, there is no need for him to introduce him, there is no one who does not know Ning Hao, the "number one fan of Qin Muchu".
"Can you drink?" Wang Shuo looked at Ning Hao and said.
Apparently he watched Ning Hao's interview.
Ning Hao wanted to be humble, but he was blessed to the heart, nodded and said:
"I can drink it!"
"Okay, then go back and leave a phone number, let's form a bureau to have a drink."
Ning Hao could hardly believe his ears.
It's not just drinking, it's an attitude.
An attitude of acceptance of him at the heart of the Beijing circle.
After agreeing to come down, I was still in a trance.
That's ...... Got in the circle?
And Yang Mi also smiled when she saw Ning Hao's appearance.
When she was taken by Zhou Yun to the core of the Beijing circle, she also felt this way.
Unreal.
I think it's so easy to get into the core of the Beijing circle.
Different from the Hong Kong circle, Shanghai circle, Northwest circle, etc., these circles are basically the people in the corresponding circle as long as you are born there.
Even if the Shanghai circle was not born there, as long as you are admitted to the drama, it is easy to enter the circle.
The Beijing circle is different, under the imperial city, it talks about "origin".
He is a native of Yanjing, and he graduated from Yanying, which can be said to be popular, but in the many years of acting career before he met Qin Muchu, he has never been counted as a person in the Beijing circle.
But sometimes it's so easy to get into the circle.
As long as there is one person in the circle who is willing to lead the way.
Ning Hao is also a director of 100 million yuan, and he graduated from Yanying, and this time the Golden Horse Award is also regarded as a "vote", and it is not difficult to enter the circle.
Huang Bo was also happy for his friend, although he was not invited to the circle, but Ning Hao was basically the same as him entered.
It is impossible for Ning Hao to make a movie without looking for him.
starring in a movie in the Beijing circle is equivalent to a person in the Beijing circle.
Later, many actors who joined the Beijing circle entered in this way.
Ning Hao and Huang Bo didn't stay long, and after saying a few words, they left their seats with great discernment.
Wang Shuo looked at Ning Hao, who was leaving, retracted his gaze and looked at Qin Muchu, and a mouthful of Beijing pieces came out again:
"Ya is a provincial award, and it can't be dragged, Xiao Qin, you didn't let me scold before, I really haven't watched a movie, it's not good to scold, can I scold after watching it today?"
Qin Muchu couldn't cry or laugh.
Wang Shuo's group of big courtyard disciples are contemptuous and disdainful of Wanwan's attitude.
The reason is naturally the word "compound".
"Shuo Ye, are you so sure that my movie must be good?"
"Hey, could that be wrong? Your father, Comrade Jiang Wen, has praised the heavens, and my ears are about to hear the cocoon. ”
Wang Shuo smiled and patted Jiang Wen's shoulder.
Jiang Wen immediately turned his face,
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
"Hey, look at this dead tsundere, and you're shy!"
Wang Shuo pointed at Jiang Wen and laughed.
There was also a burst of laughter all around.
Just when Jiang Wen was being ridiculed, a voice sounded:
"What's the matter, smiling so happily?"
Two men walked in, one of them smiling.
Everyone in the front row stood up and greeted the man.
Qin Muchu also stepped forward,
"Third master, Director Zhang."
The people who came were Han Sanping and Zhang Yimou.
"You said you should participate in the Golden Rooster, just let them play by themselves behind closed doors in that small place." Han Sanye also laughed and teased.
Qin Muchu shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not speak.
Everyone sat down again, and Han Sanye suddenly said:
"Didn't you say in Venice that you wanted a film festival on your doorstep? I've heard that we're going to have a new film festival here, and you'll have to support it with your work. ”
His later words were said to the directors, Zhang Yimou was not surprised, he should have known it before.
And Qin Muchu, Jiang Wen, and Feng Datie were all surprised.
Is there a film festival in Yanjing?
"What's strange, we have 80% of the country's production institutions here, and the film output is close to half of the country's, so in order to better promote culture, it is natural to establish a film festival." Han Sanye explained.
Think about it this way.
Everyone is chatting about this film festival, but the film festival is still in the planning stage, and they just know that it will be held, but the specific details are not very clear.
And Ning Hao and Huang Bo glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Is this the daily chat of the bigwigs?
If you don't enter the circle, I'm afraid you won't know until the official announcement, right?
Ning Hao was even more excited, this is Han Sanye, if you have a relationship with him, can the movie still be so sad to be reviewed?
And Zhang Yimou ......
He hadn't forgotten the scene where he wanted to visit the class that day and was kicked out, but now he ......
Will I be denied if I go to him and ask him for contact information later?
The time came to four o'clock, and when it was time to start the premiere, the main creative team went up to briefly introduce the film and began to show it.
The media is not in a hurry, they all know the process of the day in advance, and they will give them interview time after the film screening.
Now that the movie begins, they all focus on the movie.
The reporters who came today are basically people who have a better appreciation of movies in their respective units, because one of their purposes is to understand the movie, and then compare it with the biggest winner of the Wanwan Golden Horse Award "Can't Do Without You".
So when the movie starts, the audience is silent.
An hour and a half passed by, and as in Venice, the screening room fell silent for a long time.
The notebook of the reporter's door belt is filled with various points, jotted down the various characters, and connected them with threads.
But in the end, the threads crossed together, chaotic, just like their thoughts.
This feeling of understanding and not understanding made them very confused.
But ordinary viewers reacted first, they are not entangled in the relationship between each character in the movie, and they don't want to write film reviews.
As long as you understand what the movie wants to express, it is enough to see the old man's acting skills that make them cry.
Stand up and applaud.
And the media were also awakened by the applause and joined in.
It's okay if you don't understand everything, just this part of understanding is enough to be sure - the Golden Horse Award is unfair!
……
"I actually watched "Can't Live Without You" on the second day of the Golden Horse Awards, I think this is a good movie, it has care for society and humanity, and some of the emotions in it are also very moving."
After the movie, Qin Muchu and the main creative team sat on the stage for an interview, and the audience saw that no one was rushing them, so they simply sat down and ate the first-line melons.
"So do you think "Can't Do Without You" is better than your movie?" The reporter asked Qin Muchu.
"Hmm...... In fact, just like director Li Yu said, movies are very subjective, and turnip greens have their own loves. ”
Qin Muchu groaned, and suddenly saw Liu Xiqian, who didn't know what to talk about in the audience, and was smiling with Zeng Li, and said:
"Take Liu Xiqian as an example......
Liu Xiqian, who was smirking, immediately restrained her smile and looked at the stage.
Say what am I doing?
The reporters also looked at the fairy sister.
"Some people think that Liu Xiqian is beautiful when she is thin, and some people think that she looks better when she is fat, which is difficult to unify, and she can't win or lose."
Liu Xiqian burst into teeth when she heard this.
If you can say it, you can say more.
"What we can be sure of is that Liu Xiqian is now one hundred and twenty pounds, which is more than twenty pounds fatter than before......"
"Poof—haha."
This sudden turn instantly made the audience laugh.
Liu Xiqian's expression also changed from a smile to a willow eyebrow, and the teeth were not put away, but the teeth were clenched.
Listening to the laughter around her, she was angry and ashamed, and couldn't help shouting:
"There is no one hundred and two!"
"No way, don't think I didn't see you secretly measuring the scale at the door of the theater."
Qin Muchu's words made Liu Xiqian stunned for a moment, and then her teeth clenched even tighter:
"My clothes and shoes weigh a few pounds!"
This slightest flimsy reason made everyone laugh even more.
The audience has not seen the side of the fairy sister, and they think it is subversive and cute, and the reporters also captured several photos of Liu Xiqian when she was angry.
It's another piece of news.
"Okay, okay, count you more than one hundred and ten."
Qin Muchu waved his hand, did not give Liu Xiqian a chance to speak, and continued to be interviewed by reporters.
This made Liu Xiqian hate Mimi habitually, but at this moment, Mimi was on stage, smiling extra happily.
"Sister Li, Sister Huimin~"
She hugged Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin next to her for a while.
Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin also laughed just now, and they felt even more funny when they saw Liu Xiqian like this.
Zeng Li pinched Liu Xiqian's face:
"It's okay, it's not fat, it's still beautiful."
said that Liu Xiqian was fat just according to the standards of female stars, otherwise she was more than 1.7 meters tall, and more than 110 pounds was actually just right and very well-proportioned.
Qin Muchu's interview on the stage has come to an end, and the reporters have also begun to interview other guests.
Wang Shuo is a famous troll, and reporters naturally regard him as a key target.
"What do I think? To be honest, before watching the movie, I wanted to scold the street, the kind of thief that is ugly, of course, I didn't scold the award-winning movie, I scolded the Golden Horse Awards.
But now I don't want to scold, because I'm sure more people will scold them.
So if you want to ask me what I think, I want to praise Xiao Qin's movie.
I don't know if you just watched the movie and cried? ”
Almost instantly, the audience rang out with a "yes" reply.
In the second half of the movie, some viewers began to sob.
Wang Shuo looked at the audience and said with a smile:
"To be honest, I was surprised to see that most of you are young people.
I thought this film was more touching for someone like me who was about to enter old age.
First of all, I don't have a good relationship with my parents, so I first heard that Xiao Qin wanted to make a movie about Alzheimer's disease, which is what we often call Alzheimer's disease, and I thought it was another movie that celebrates the greatness of family affection and love beyond pain.
Later, under the praise of Comrade Jiang Wen, I knew that it was not, so I only came to attend the premiere today, otherwise I would not have come.
This is a movie about a patient, and when we watch the movie, each of us becomes a patient, and he puts the reality of what happens to the sick there.
Lose everything and go back to square one like a baby.
This is a kind of fate, whether you suffer from illness or not, you can't avoid it......"
……
The simple and even somewhat humble premiere ended, and Qin Muchu bid farewell to the guests.
Jiang Wen asked Qin Muchu to go to his house for dinner tomorrow.
Qin Muchu saw through Lao Jiang's sinister intentions at a glance, and he must have wanted to win his Golden Horse Award Best Director trophy.
Decisive refusal.
Then Liu Xiqian wanted to settle accounts with Qin Muchu again, and used the weight of one hundred and twenty catties of his clothes to kill him.
was pulled away by Yang Mi and a few others.
Ning Hao and Huang Bo also wanted to leave, but were stopped by Qin Muchu.
"Wait a minute, let's talk for a while."
There was no one in the screening hall anymore, and Yang Mi, who was the last to go out, closed the door of the screening hall.
Although Ning Hao and Huang Bo were puzzled, they still stayed honestly.
Seeing that they were a little nervous, Qin Muchu smiled:
"It's okay, just talk."
That being said, Ning Hao and Huang Bo still didn't relax at all.
This left them alone just to talk?
Sure enough, Qin Muchu's first sentence made the two of them, to be precise, Ning Haoxin mention his throat:
"Has Director Ning made a new movie this year?"
Ning Hao even thought about the possibility that Qin Muchu left him to thank him for the "Angry Golden Horse Award", but he didn't expect to say this at all.
He observed Qin Muchu's expression.
Was this unintentionally asked, or did he know his difficulties?
But whatever it was, he nodded first and replied:
"I made one."
But it can't pass the trial.
He struggled with whether to say the latter sentence or not.
Because he wasn't sure of Qin Muchu's attitude, if he said it rashly, it was likely to give people the feeling that he was too purposeful.
But aside, it's a missed opportunity.
Qin Muchu didn't give him time to entangle, and said with a smile:
"That's right, I heard that the movie seems to be having some difficulties with review, right?"
This is the result of the investigation after it was confirmed yesterday to invite Ning Hao to attend the premiere.
Coincidentally, the screenwriter of Ning Hao's film called "No Man's Land" is Shu Ping, and Lao Jiang's banned "The Devil is Coming" is his work, which has not been unsealed so far.
So...... It's important to choose the right screenwriter.
"Yes, the submission has not been enough."
Seeing that Qin Mu Chuming said it, Ning Hao had no scruples, just tell the truth.
"I asked some friends, and they gave some suggestions for revisions, which you can refer to."
Qin Muchu took out a folder from the bag behind him.
Ning Hao raised his head violently, looked at Qin Muchu, who was still smiling faintly, and looked at the folder again.
Revisions?
What friends can give suggestions for revision?
In addition to the post-production team, there are only ...... movies
An ecstasy erupted in his chest, making him almost want to cry out.
If it weren't for the inappropriate scene, he wanted to slap Huang Bo and ask him if it hurt to determine if he was dreaming.
"Take it, it's just for reference, it's not necessarily useful." Qin Muchu saw that Ning Hao was stunned, so he put the folder in his hand.
Ning Hao's palms trembled a little and flipped through the folder, so excited that he even forgot to say thank you to Qin Muchu.
But Huang Bo didn't forget, and helped thank and explain:
"Director Qin, thank you so much, Haozi is so excited, everyone is stupid."
"It's okay, it's normal, because of the movie." Qin Muchu said.
Ask yourself, if he can't review a movie all the time, and now someone sends a specific revision request, he is even more out of shape than Ning Hao.
"Let's go out and talk, let Director Ning watch it for a while." He said again.
"Okay." Huang Bo agreed.
When they arrived outside the screening room, there was a bathroom next door, and the two walked in.
"Director Qin, do you smoke?" Huang Bo handed over the cigarette.
"No, thank you." Qin Muchu politely refused.
Huang Bo put away the cigarette and didn't smoke it himself, and people who don't smoke are generally disgusted by the smell of smoke.
"This drama is in collaboration with Xu Zheng?" Qin Muchu asked.
Although he was willing to help Ning Hao, he still inquired about the basic situation of the movie before helping to determine if he could help.
If the film really hits the thunder, his ability is limited.
"Yes, I took it with the bald man, he is the male lead." Huang Bo replied.
Judging by the title, the relationship is good.
"Director Qin knows the bald man?" He asked again.
"I don't know...... Eh, I've seen him play Zhu Bajie. Qin Muchu said.
The reason why Xu Zheng is mentioned is because Huang Bojia Xu Zheng reminds him of a popular movie he watched in his previous life.
It's just that I didn't expect the two to have worked together so early.
"Haha, that's right, the bald man is becoming more and more like Zhu Bajie now." Huang Bo spared no effort to damage his friends.
Qin Muchu also smiled:
"I actually had the idea of looking for him to act before."
"He? Which play? Huang Bo was really surprised.
He didn't expect that the bald man would have this kind of luck and be favored by a big director.
Qin Muchu shook his head:
"A comedy about the Spring Festival, the script was written, and it was not filmed later."
He was talking about "People in Embarrassment", when I went to pick up Lao Jiang and Sister Yun, I was moved when I saw the crowded station for the Spring Festival, and I really wrote the script when I went back.
But then I thought about rushing for the award and filmed "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and "People in Embarrassment" gradually forgot.
It was also this time that I saw the combination of Huang Bojia and Xu Zheng, and thought of its second "Thai Embarrassment", and remembered that I had written such a script.
Huang Bo heard that he didn't shoot, and he also felt a little sorry for Xu:
"Are you still going to shoot it?"
Qin Muchu thought about it, and finally shook his head:
"There is no time for next year, and I don't know if I have any other ideas after that, so it is unlikely that I will shoot it."
The screenwriter of "Love Letter" and "Hawthorn Tree", these two are at least enough for him to be busy until the middle of next year.
And before leaving, the third master said that the second part of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" was already in the planning and invited him to participate.
This time I can't refuse it anyway.
Then in September next year, Yanying will be a freshman in the 10th grade, and as a teaching assistant, he will have to show up at least a few times.
If in case Zhou Huimin gets pregnant halfway through...... Then there is no time.
This is not Qin Muchu's worry, the two of them are in normal health, and without any protective measures, it is enough to fight for a year.
The most important thing is that "People in Embarrassment" was just a whim, and now that he has no interest, he doesn't want to shoot it.
"Well, that's the bald man's fate."
Huang Bo is a pity, he also fought for Xu Zheng, but if people don't want to shoot, there is no way.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind:
"Director Qin, you really don't plan to shoot this script?"
