A courtyard house in Yanjing.

The two trees hanging with red lanterns at the door are particularly festive, and the sandalwood tables and chairs in the interior wings, with paper, ink, calligraphy and paintings, are antique.

A little fat man in his teens was lying on the long table and fiddling with photos, and if he looked closely, the photos were all star actors, but they were all dressed in ancient costumes.

"I'm playing with makeup photos again, and when I mess up, your dad has to discipline you again."

A round-faced, rather charming woman touched the little fat man's head from behind and took the photo into her hands.

"Mom, this is beautiful!"

The little fat man held up the photo in his hand and smiled brightly.

The woman looked at the photo, it was a woman wearing a bright red robe, a light cyan skirt, long hair fluttering, and a gorgeous face.

"This is Fan Shuishui, you will be able to see it in two months after entering the group."

The woman took back the photo, suddenly pinched her son's face again, and asked:

"Who is beautiful Fan Shuishui or mother?"

The little fat man did not hesitate:

"My mother is beautiful, I want to marry a woman like my mother as a wife in the future!"

These words immediately made the woman smile, both happy and a little funny, and poked the little fat man's head:

"I want to marry a wife when I'm so big, I'm a big ghost."

I put the photo on the table again and knocked on it, and the corners were neatly aligned:

"Okay, let's go play outside, Mom and Dad have something to say."

After saying that, the woman walked into the inner workshop with the photo.

A man was working at his desk, and there was a pile of papers scattered on the table and floor.

The woman was obviously accustomed to this kind of scene, picked up a few pieces of paper that she couldn't hide from when she walked over, and looked at the man and walked to the man's side:

"Kaige, don't you want these?"

Chen Kaige didn't speak, but his breathing suddenly became heavier, like "hum" and not "hum".

Chen Hong was very sensitive to her husband's unhappiness, but she had expected it, and her words did not pause at all:

"These are so well drawn, I'll find a frame to frame them when I go back."

Chen Kaige stopped writing at this time, looked at his wife who was full of admiration, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly:

"Those are all failures to find feelings, you look at these, how about it?"

He moved out of the way, and went from lying on his desk with both hands to holding it with one hand, and raising his other hand.

And Chen Hong naturally entered Chen Kaige's arms, and Chen Kaige's raised hand fell, just holding her shoulder.

"This ......"

Chen Hong picked up the paper with both hands, her eyes flashed up and down, and her expression gradually changed from stunned to amazed:

"The storyboards are so well drawn that I feel like I've seen the movie, but there are a lot of details I can't understand."

Chen Kaige smiled even more, hugged Chen Hong's hand and patted her shoulder:

"It's okay if you don't understand, I'll explain it to you one by one."

"Hmm!"

Chen Hong looked at Chen Kaige with sparkling eyes and nodded again and again.

This made Chen Kaige feel more and more comfortable, and a certain sense of satisfaction in his heart overflowed in his heart, and he turned sideways completely and faced Chen Hong:

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Normally, when he is creating, he is not allowed to be disturbed.

Once the youngest son came in and called him, but he was punished to stand at the door and recite the house motto for an hour.

It is also his wife Chen Hong who can make the impatience in his heart disappear inexplicably, but Chen Hong rarely touches him at this time, unless there is really something important.

Chen Hong saw that Chen Kaige took the initiative to ask, so he said:

"Do you remember when Zhang Yimou went to be a photographer for Qin Muchu?"

The smile on Chen Kaige's face gradually disappeared, and he hummed lightly:

"The more the black face lives, the more humble it becomes, it's shameful enough to shoot a film like "Three Guns", and now I'm running to be a photographer for a junior."

"yes."

Chen Hong echoed.

"Zhang Black Face" is the name that her husband called Zhang Yimou when filming "Yellow Earth", but whenever you hear someone say "Yimou has a black face again", it means that there is a problem with the shooting.

It was meant to be non-derogatory.

But not necessarily.

And the reason, she can think of it.

Zhang Yimou used to be her husband's photographer, and later became a director, which is also a good story.

said "Zhang Yimou is so powerful, but he started as a photographer for Chen Kaige".

This is a "special achievement".

But now that there is another person in the country who has done it, the gold content of this "special achievement" has naturally declined.

She bothered her husband today "against the wind" because of this incident:

"Zhang Yimou and Qin Muchu were interviewed a few days ago, and you were mentioned in it."

Chen Kaige raised his eyebrows:

"Oh? What do they say? ”

Chen Hong knew that he would ask, so he prepared in advance, took out his mobile phone to play the interview video on Weibo, and fast-forwarded to the question about Chen Kaige.

The workshop was silent for a while, except for the sound of mobile phones.

One minute, two minutes......

That interview passed.

Chen Kaige frowned.

I kept recalling a sentence Zhang Yimou said during the interview.

"It's talent, I haven't heard of a director who can do this......"

So, I am one of the directors who can't do this?

"Brother Kai, now that they are working together, they will definitely praise each other, and it is normal to exaggerate."

Chen Hong saw that Chen Kaige's face was getting more and more ugly, and immediately said.

She knew too well what Chen Kaige was thinking.

"Well, I know that."

Chen Kaige accepted this reason, and his face was slightly pale:

"He has learned that now, and he doesn't stick to his heart of art at all."

"You can't hold others to your own standards, how many people can do what you do?"

Chen Hong seemed to be accusatory, but it made Chen Kaige smile again.

Put down your phone:

"Let them make trouble, this young man is okay, take him with a black face, in the future, our group of people will retire, and the Celestial Empire will not have no movies to watch."

Yes, Qin Muchu, who shined in Berlin and Venice, is just a "good young man" in Chen Kaige's mouth.

In his heart, the qualifications of the two of them were there; And then he took the Cannes Golden Palmetto Palm, and he had the confidence to "look down" at Qin Muchu, who had only walked in Berlin and Venice.

Although the "Big Three in Europe" is a parallel title, there has always been a saying among the "Big Three" that "Cannes is the boss".

Let's just talk about a simple fact, there are many directors in the Celestial Empire who have won the highest awards in Venice and Berlin, but there is only one Golden Palmetto.

Chen Kaige - "Farewell My Concubine"!

So when he commented on Qin Muchu like this, he felt that he was already overlooked, and he didn't want to evaluate other directors.

"This young man is good, very good, and now the Internet is praising him for his dedication, humility, and the leader of the younger generation of directors."

Chen Hong knew that she should not echo her husband's praise of Qin Muchu, because it would cause her husband to be unhappy as a "possessor", but she still said it.

In a sense, Chen Kaige is a very simple person, otherwise he would not have made every move, and her joys, sorrows and sorrows were thoroughly touched by her.

Since they got together, everything outside the movie has been entrusted to her to manage, including interpersonal communication, socializing, interest exchange, etc.

In short, she is outside the home.

So unlike her husband, who "doesn't listen to anything outside the window", she clearly knows her husband's "fall" over the years.

Times have changed, it is no longer the era when art films are king, and the era of commercial films has arrived.

What to watch in commercial films, box office!

Who is sought after and loved in the circle, rich people!

"Wuji" and "Mei Lanfang" hit the street two times in succession, Chen Kaige's status is no longer as good as it was back then, and now it is actually a bit of "eating the old book".

And Qin Muchu is the opposite.

In terms of box office, the big directors of the Celestial Empire together are not enough for him to play.

What's more, people are not like Feng Datie, although the movie makes money, it is also quite criticized, and there is no shortage of awards, that is, artistry.

With such a director, who doesn't want to cooperate with him, eat meat and become the second "billionaire" in the entertainment industry?

So......

"Kaige, this young man has the opportunity to get close and cooperate with each other."

She was very sincere in her advice.

But this made Chen Kaige's face completely blacken.

Looking at Chen Hong, although he is over forty years old, he never worries about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and he is well maintained, whether it is his figure or appearance, he can be called a sentence ", the charm still exists".

The "old husband and young wife" inevitably have some kind of concern, especially when the wife praises another young man.

But he couldn't show it, and that would make him look very small, so he endured his anger and said:

"Where does his dedication and humility come from?"

Chen Hong could see Chen Kaige's anger, but he still picked up his mobile phone and clicked on the Weibo posted by Qin Muchu that said "There are still them at minus thirty-three degrees".

This Weibo was praised by netizens, because it was obviously a response to the previous Weibo that secretly praised him and Zhang Yimou for their dedication, but he did not take credit and shined this light on everyone.

"Look, it's ......"

After Chen Hong explained the ins and outs, she was disappointed when she expected her husband to let go of his pride a little.

"Is this dedication and humility? Isn't that how it should be? Filming in the snow, wearing a padded jacket on a hot day, when can this be taken out and said? Will the director be praised when he sits in front of the monitor in the future? ”

Looking at Chen Kaige, who stood up suddenly, Chen Hong opened his mouth, but still lowered his head and didn't say anything.

Yes, it's really nothing.

But people didn't say it, it was someone else who said it, and they just shared the praise with everyone in the crew.

Moreover, there is no meaning in this that "everyone does this, and it is not worth talking about".

But she didn't defend herself, with her understanding of Chen Kaige, now Chen Kaige is just playing on the topic, and being silent and delicate is the best way to deal with it.

Sure enough, Chen Kaige still wanted to get angry, but when he saw Chen Hong lowering his head and looking weak, his heart softened.

Lifting Chen Hong's face, seeing that her eyes were red, she was very angry and suddenly went to nine points, and touched her cheek:

"Why are you still crying, I just got a little louder......"

Chen Hong turned her head awkwardly, and her voice was extremely aggrieved:

"Are you louder? It's just that I am an old pearl yellow, and I am not worthy of you as a great director, yes, I know that I am not worthy of you......"

Before she finished speaking, she was held in Chen Kaige's arms.

"Don't say that in the future, you are the woman I love most in my life."

Chen Kaige felt a little sorry in his heart.

Yes, how can I think of Chen Hong like this?

She's completely obsessed with her talent.

"You only care about making movies, but you don't know how difficult things outside of movies are, attracting investment, socializing, and the changes in the circle in the past few years, do you understand?"

Chen Hong leaned on Chen Kaige's shoulder, both confiding and complaining.

And Chen Kaige still has the ability to think at this time, and said in a loud voice:

"Yes, yes, it's my fault, I've worked hard for you all these years."

"Let's just say that Yang Mi, an ordinary little girl, was praised by the group of people in the circle because she fell in love with Qin Muchu, so she almost didn't offer it.

Every time I make an appointment to drink tea and go shopping, I invite her to go with her, and the key is that she hasn't been there a few times, so she flocks to it. ”

Chen Hong said half-truthfully.

Yang Mi really hasn't been to their parties a few times, but they all have valid reasons, and all kinds of small gifts are presented during the New Year's holidays, and they send greeting text messages.

It's not a group of people.

Be generous and thoughtful.

This is one of the reasons why even though she rarely attends meetings, people still invite her again and again.

But Chen Hong just didn't like Yang Mi a little, although she had also received gifts and blessings.

She couldn't tell why.

"Yang Mi ......"

Chen Kaige heard this name for the first time, and frowned:

"If she messes with you, then I'll ......"

"No, she didn't mess with me, she just ...... Once the sparrow turned into a phoenix, he was a little proud, not relying on Qin Muchu.

I want you to cooperate with him, first, he is also a circle no matter what he says, more walking, more friends; Again, as an elder, you also promote the juniors, and you can't let this good name go to Zhang Yimou.

After all, he is a clay leg, and his teaching is definitely not as good as that inherited from your family of directors. ”

Chen Hong's words can be said to have poked at Chen Kaige's cool points.

Especially the last sentence.

She knew that her husband, who was born as a literary child in Beijing, had always looked down on Chen Kaige, who was born as a "peasant".

And he has always been suspicious that such a "farmer" can be as famous as himself.

"Okay."

Sure enough, speaking in a different way, Chen Kaige agreed without hesitation.

Chen Hong, who had achieved his goal, also smiled, and took advantage of Chen Kaige's current "state" to say another thing:

In the interview, Zhang Yimou and Qin Muchu both said that they would no longer participate in the Golden Horse Awards, and the next day Ning Hao and Feng Datie also expressed their positions, and then all the other directors in our circle issued statements, and finally ...... The actors also said that they would not attend the Golden Horse Awards. ”

"What?"

Chen Kaige lost his temper for the first time.

The Golden Horse Award is the first award in China, and now the Beijing circle is not participating?

Suddenly remembered something, and said:

"Ge You, Wang Xuejin, Huang Daming, Fan Shuishui, Zhang Fengyi, ......"

"Except for Zhao Wentai, the well-known actors have all expressed their positions."

Chen Hong knew what Chen Kaige was going to ask, so he answered directly.

Chen Kaige's expression was not good.

Why are these people asked for their names?

Because they are all actors in the scenes they are about to film!

"Zhao's Orphan" He is preparing to participate in the Golden Horse Awards......

"Let's also make a statement, we won't participate in the Golden Horse Awards, huh...... Don't talk too hard, leave some leeway. ”

After being silent for a long time, Chen Kaige finally spoke.

After a pause, he explained:

"We're not good and not social."

And the truth is......

None of the actors went to the Golden Horse Awards, did he want to take a group of tricks on the red carpet when the time came?

"Okay, then let's say that "Zhao's Orphan" will not participate in the Golden Horse Awards."

Chen Hong smiled, this was her second purpose to find Chen Kaige.

As for Chen Kaige's forcible respect, she habitually ignored it.

This "group rejection" of the Golden Horse Award also made her feel a bad breath.

They all refused, if you want to say that this matter has not been discussed, who will believe it?

But they didn't get a notice of a meeting......

"Yes, just send it."

Chen Kaige didn't think deeply about his wife, but he was quite satisfied with his wife's approach.

Virtuous help!

"Then I'll send it."

Chen Hong prepares to operate the mobile phone.

There is no need to hold a press conference for this, just say it directly on Weibo, many celebrities do this.

"Wait." Chen Kaige interrupted suddenly.

Chen Hong's heart was relieved again, thinking that her husband was going to change his hexagram.

"You take a picture of this, um, no, it's this, this one is the best."

Chen Kaige flipped through the sub-shot, took out one, and spread it on the table.

said to Chen Hong:

"Take a picture of this sub-camera and post it on Weibo, and the copywriting will be written...... Well, months of candles, morning and dusk are not distinguished, the storyboard of the movie is bitter, the clumsy one, the judgment of the criticism, can be refined. ”

After finishing speaking, he thought about it again, seemed very satisfied, and looked at his wife:

"Did you write it down?"

"Forehead ......"

Chen Hong forcibly endured the twitching of the corners of his mouth,

"Wrote it down......"

……

On the other hand, since the filming of Zhao Benshan and Liu Xiaoli that night, "Love Letter" has also entered the "meat scene" filming stage.

As the director and protagonist, Qin Muchu is very busy.

Especially because of the deletion of the emotional branch between Ye Qiu (Autumn Leaves) and Nan Li (Hiroko), he had to increase the roles of several other characters to support the "missing plot".

Among these "other roles", there is the male Li Muzhi played by him.

In addition, it is really cold to shoot autumn scenes in winter.

Especially when this winter is the winter in Harbin, it is simply a huge special cold!

Zhou Huimin is better, her school uniform is long-sleeved, long-skirted, and she wears "special warm clothes" where her clothes are covered.

The effect is that although she is also cold, it feels similar to the outdoor feeling in a normal province.

And Qin Muchu's school uniform, the top is a white short-sleeved shirt.

Short sleeves!

And because the top half of the boys is a little less than the women, when a well-fitting shirt is worn on the body, if anything is added to it, it will be obvious.

Includes warm baby.

Therefore, Qin Muchu really only wore a white shirt on his upper body and filmed in temperatures of more than 20 degrees below zero.

"Hurry up, hot water, quilt, the director is going to die!"

As soon as Zhang Yimou shouted "card", Liu Xiqian immediately shouted.

However, instead of worry and anxiety on his face, he gloated.

Qin Muchu's body trembled, and with the support of a group of people, he walked to the side of Lao Mouzi.

Before he could ask, Lao Mouzi said:

"It's okay with me."

"That's okay, I, I, I'll pass, I'll see later, down."

Qin Muchu was so cold that his upper and lower teeth fought.

In the past few days of his acting, Lao Mouzi has helped to temporarily take over the director's position.

It did save him a lot of trouble - the most important thing was a few less ng.

Otherwise, he might really have to sleep in Harbin forever.

"You can rest a little longer." Zhou Huimin also walked over, her eyes full of distress.

The small part of her neck that leaked outside was tingling from the cold, not to mention Qin Muchu, who was wearing so little.

"It's okay, just take it slowly, finish filming early and liberate it early."

Qin Muchu said, his gaze moving down slightly.

Because he was wearing a warm coat and a warm baby in his jacket, Zhou Huimin's size was already catching up with Yang Mi.

It's a pity that it's padd.

But...... I will make my dreams come true with my own hands!

Zhou Huimin noticed Qin Muchu's gaze, glared at him with a blush, and turned away.

She knew what Qin Muchu was thinking.

This pervert also made her dress like this in the room for him to admire!

Qin Muchu also withdrew his gaze when he saw Zhou Huimin turn around.

Stingy, I have to work hard tonight to speed up the process of realizing my dreams.

"Qin Muchu, Qin Muchu!"

Suddenly, there was a shout from the side.

Qin Muchu looked disgusted and impatient, and looked at Liu Xiqian:

"Daddy's here, Daddy's here."

Liu Xiqian wrinkled her nose.

Why didn't you dare to say that when my mother didn't go back to Yanjing?

Ignoring this, she pointed to her phone:

"Weibo ......"

Without waiting for Liu Xiqian to finish speaking, Qin Muchu said:

"Who won't participate in the Golden Horse Awards?"

In the past few days, there are insiders who have expressed their intention not to participate in the Golden Horse Awards every day, sometimes dozens, and less than tens, and he has long been used to it.

It's just that I didn't expect to say that in an interview that day, and the result would lead to such consequences.

Presumably the next Golden Horse Awards will be unusually deserted, right?

And the culprit of all this is him...... The host who was interviewed that day.

No, it should be the netizen who asked the question and those who liked him.

The Internet is not a place outside the law, and when the time comes, the Golden Horse Awards will take these little blacks to court.

Anyway, Qin Muchu is non-stick.

What bad intentions can I have, I'm just a young director in his twenties who believes in metaphysics.

"It's director Chen Kaige." Liu Xiqian said.

"Kaige is enthusiastic." Zhang Yimou said with a smile.

Although he had a disagreement with Chen Kaige during the filming of "The Great Military Parade", he has not cooperated again since then.

But the impression of Chen Kaige is not bad.

And Qin Muchu was also stunned when he heard this name.

Because he and Director Chen are really not familiar with each other, they don't seem to have said a few words.

However, now Chen Kaige is not participating in the Golden Horse Awards, but he has gathered all the directors who have exceeded 100 million at the mainland box office.

"He said that "Zhao's Orphan" will not participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

Liu Xiqian continued, sending the mobile phone to Qin Muchu's eyes:

"He also posted a Weibo, you see."

"Zhao's Orphan" does not participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards for some reasons...... Months of candle ...... to be refined. ”

After reading the two Weibo posts, Qin Muchu looked at Lao Mouzi, who was also watching on the side.

Looking at each other, Lao Mouzi coughed, avoiding his gaze:

"I'll go set up the plane."

And Qin Muchu watched these two Weibo posts repeatedly, and finally sighed:

"This Kaige director is really a little ...... It's cute. ”
