Chapter 356: Returning with a full load

Grange Zhuang has been smiling and watching the interaction between the two, and his performance is particularly indifferent, not as ugly as some directors. Seeing that Li Tang and Xiao Wang were almost finished chatting, they asked, "Xiao Li, how do you feel after watching the movie?" ”

He had already asked Lu Kuan this question before, and as a former student of his, Lu Kuan naturally bragged about it. Of course, good words sound very comfortable, but he finally has some self-knowledge, and he disagrees with Lu Chuan's flattering evaluation from the bottom of his heart.

The reason why he wanted to ask Li Tang the same question again in front of the landing string was to see if the attitude of young filmmakers now dares to tell the truth.

As the leading big brother of the 78th level of Nortel's director department, their generation has completely experienced the entire special period, although they have experienced various hardships, but they are still a rebellious generation in their bones.

They have always tried to use movies to restore the suffering of the year, and in a sense, only Director Chen was successful, because his "Farewell My Concubine" was released and achieved great response. And he and Zhang Yimou were failures. Fortunately, Zhang Yimou is more tactful than him, although "Alive" was banned, he was not affected much. But because he refused to compromise and because the movie was more thorough, he was finally banned for ten years.

That is, relying on the shadow of his parents, his public position and rank were retained, which deprived him of the right to make movies for ten years. A director from the age of forty to fifty is the most mature, creative and energetic period of an artist, and it is wasted.

This is a big blow to a director who loves movies. Ten years of tempering may dry up the source of his creation, and he lacks the source of creative power in his heart, but he still maintains the precious childlike heart of a film creator.

To put it bluntly, he is an old naughty boy who has lost the heart of the year and has no taboos. He wanted to hear if Li Tang would tell the truth, if he sang praises like Lu Chuan, it would be harmless and turn into a joke. But if he told the truth, he was looking forward to seeing what his once-proud student would look like.

In fact, Tianzhuang Zhuang's mentality was somewhat inauthentic, and he didn't care about whether Li Tang would offend Lu Chuan because of this if he told the truth. This is also a common problem of people like them in a big yard, who are happy and angry, and do not consider the feelings of others at all.

I hate their verbal excuses such as "fun" and "joking", but I don't know how much harm they can cause to ordinary people because of their so-called "fun" or "joking".

Of course, Li Tang was kept in the dark at this time, but he was not stupid, of course he would not tell Tianzhuang directly, this is still Mr. Fei Mu's classic, not your Tian Dao's classic.

It's like a leader saying to you with a pleasant face: "More opinions are welcome." "If you really put forward your opinions, it only means that you are too young and have not yet been beaten by society. Of course, Li Tang can't say the meaty toution, people always have a bottom line.

He smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I was also asked this question by a reporter at the door just now." ”

The content he was interviewed by reporters before will definitely appear in the newspaper and will definitely be reprinted by online media. In his previous life, he often heard the phrase "the Internet has a memory". With the rise of online media, what you have said and done is often revealed at critical moments, so whenever he is interviewed, he often reminds himself to be cautious in his words and deeds, so as not to become his own black history in the future.

"Oh, how did you answer?" Grange Zhuang suddenly said with interest.

"I'm an actor, of course, mainly to watch the show. The performances of the actors in the movie are still very good. ”

"What about the others? For example, the movie itself ......"

"Well, that's not in my business, so I don't want to put my beak."

"Let's talk, how do you feel?"

Hearing that Tianzhuang seemed to be a little unrelenting, Li Tang was slightly surprised, but he didn't think much about it, just guessed that this might be his first work after his comeback, and wanted to get feedback in a hurry.

So he muttered: "If you want to talk about the movie itself, I think it is too much better than the original in terms of technique." Especially the lonely and cold lens language, which is especially suitable for Zhang Zhichen and Zhou Yuwen's affectionate and polite love. ”

If it was only the first half of the sentence, Tian Zhuangzhuang would definitely think that Li Tang was perfunctory. Just kidding, the original version was made more than 50 years ago, and today's film technology has long since improved, and if it is still inferior to the original book in terms of technique, then he, the director of Nortel's directing department, is definitely in vain.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, Tianzhuang Zhuangzhuang's eyes suddenly lit up, because this was his original intention, he used the lens of the camera to look at the perspective of a bystander, without any emotional factors, just quietly examining the relationship between Zhang Zhichen and Zhou Yuwen.

However, Grange Zhuang still seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and asked: "Is there anything else, for example, what is the difference from the original?" ”

Li Tang felt that the other party seemed to be digging a hole for himself, did he have to let himself say the shortcomings of the movie?

He could only continue to ponder: "If there is any difference from the original, except for the difference in technique just mentioned...... Well, the biggest difference may be that the narration in the original version is removed, which allows the audience to calm down and appreciate the different obscurity and ambiguity of this re-told story! ”

After speaking, before the excited Tianzhuang Zhuang spoke again, Li Tang then smiled and said: "Actually, a reporter just asked me what is the difference between this version of "Spring in a Small Town" and the original version, and I said that this is Director Tian's purpose in making this movie is to express his respect to the long-buried film master in another way. ”

He said this sentence in order to block the mouth of Grange Zhuangzhuang, so that the old man would not have to ask endlessly, and at the same time, he was also vaguely saying that your movie is a tribute, don't talk about other things.

As a result, as soon as his voice fell, Tianzhuang Zhuang, who was originally excited, was suddenly surprised: "You really think so? ”

"Yes, that's what I answered when the reporter asked me just now. Tomorrow, there may be a report saying that I am criticizing your work! ”

He learned the virtues of those Hong Kong media last year, and he completely inherited the style of their former godfather's Fleet Street, and always took quotes out of context, and then played with various excuses. He felt that it was still necessary to get a preventive shot with Director Tian in advance, so as not to avoid misunderstandings when the old man saw the relevant reports afterwards.

As a result, Tianzhuang Zhuang grabbed Li Tang's hand, shook it twice, and said excitedly: "Bosom friend! Xiao Li, you see it very accurately. Let me tell you, I have watched the original "Spring in a Small Town" countless times, and even every frame of the picture is deeply reflected in my mind. From the beginning, I just wanted to remake the film based on my understanding. But halfway through the shoot, I found that I couldn't jump out of the original frame at all, and I had to make some technical adjustments. So, what you said is not wrong at all, I made this movie to pay tribute to Director Fei Mu! ”

Li Tang hurriedly laughed and said: "Director Tian, you have won the award, these are just my personal superficial understanding, just tell the truth......"

At this time, he was somewhat flattered, and he originally thought that as long as he didn't offend the old man in front of him, he would do it. Don't look at Director Tian's return to campus now, according to the usual understanding, it means that he has taken a back seat.

But don't forget that they are the leading big brothers of Nortel's 78 class, and don't forget that their parents are one of the pioneers of the new Chinese film industry. People's status in the circle is transcendent.

To use an inappropriate analogy, the Tian Dao in front of him is a bit like those casual Jewish bigwigs in Hollywood who have a family background. This kind of person must not be offended in Hollywood circles, because they often have a huge group behind them, playing the role of a person who speaks in all aspects. Often a sentence can determine your future and fate in the circle, and even your net worth.

Seeing the eager interaction between the two, Xiao Wang always smiled a little bit to watch the excitement, but he couldn't help but glance at Lu Chuan next to him. The same question just now, Lu Chuan's touting, at this time seems to be too blunt. Listen to people, this sycophant is absolutely fresh and refined.

It seems that he still underestimates this Teacher Li, this is obviously a smart person. However, since he is a smart person, he feels that there is more room for cooperation with the other party, after all, smart people know how to judge the situation better.

And Lu Chuan's mood is obviously much more complicated, although he became a director, but his family's genes make him feel that he is a literati in his bones, a literati director, not a simple filmmaker in the general sense. It's just that he forgot that since ancient times, literati have been light, but they are an extremely narrow-minded group.

To be honest, seeing Li Tang and Tianzhuang talking and laughing at this time, the jealousy in my heart arose, especially when I thought of my previous answer, I felt like a clown. Especially when Grange Zhuang glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, which made him feel embarrassed, and at the same time that he looked away in shame and did not dare to look directly, he glanced deeply at Li Tang again, and then lowered his head unwillingly.

Li Tang seemed to feel a dangerous aura in the back of his head, and when he looked back, he only saw Xiao Wang with a smile on his face and Director Lu Kuan with his head down......

On 5 September, the brigade set off for China. They didn't wait for the closing ceremony and awards ceremony on September 8, which means nothing for a film that is not in competition, and an extra day here means an extra 100,000 dollars in expenses.

Zhang Baibai and Liu Zhan are very excited, for them to finally appreciate the style of one of the three major film festivals in Europe, and as the director and screenwriter of the only few shortlisted films in the mainland, they feel that they have stepped up to a new level in their careers, which is enough for them to show off their power in front of their peers and pretend to be a big force properly.

As the heroine, Lao Xu seems to have long forgotten the embarrassment of being ignored by Gong Li before, and participated in a red carpet event before leaving. Moore successfully took a group photo, and sending it back to China is another hype topic.

This trip to Venice is very timely for her, after all, as one of the "Four Little Flowers", she is the one with the weakest sense of existence, especially in recent years, there are no works that can be used, resulting in seeing the other three's careers flourishing, but she can only stubbornly resist a so-called "talented woman" character.

Fortunately, this trip to Venice made her win several headlines, which can be regarded as recovering some of her fading popularity, and at the same time, as the female number one in art films, she has further consolidated her character as a "talented woman".

As for the female No. 2 Wang Li who brought a group of followers, she also came out to see the world this time. However, she is not very interested in the red carpet, but very interested in the variety of luxury goods in Venice. After a few red carpet visits to satisfy his curiosity and vanity, he began to frequent the luxury stores in Venice.

Obviously, she is also a smart person, knowing that she is not doing this business, let alone becoming a star, after playing tickets, it is the most important thing to make some benefits while she is young.

As the team leader, Zeng Jia is the busiest person, but she has the experience of last year and has long been familiar with driving, and this time with the help of Zhao Luoyao, she has relaxed a lot, and finally has time to visit Venice, a famous tourist city.

In addition, Li Tang's assistant Xiao Zhao, although he has been busy with Zeng Jia for a few days this time, this time it can be regarded as an eye-opener. But the important thing is that this time she had the opportunity to go out with the two bosses, and she had already gained the upper hand in the fight with Du Hua, the assistant to Zeng, and she was especially looking forward to taking a good look at Du Hua's jealous expression after returning to the company.

That's right, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. With the establishment of the company, Zhao Luoyao, who was the assistant to Chairman Li Tang, and Du Hua, who was the assistant to General Manager Zeng Jia, inevitably began to show signs of each other, and even each of them also attracted a group of people and divided into two camps.

As a big boss, Li Tang doesn't know anything about this, while Zeng Jia knows it, don't forget that there are her eyeliner among the employees. However, she did not intervene, on the contrary, she encouraged her, after all, there is competition to make progress. Originally, Du Hua relied on himself to be more advanced than Zhao Luoyao, and he was the assistant to the general manager, so he had the upper hand. And this time, Zeng Jia intended to bring Zhao Luoyao to Venice and leave Du Hua behind, just to help Xiao Zhao increase his momentum and maintain a balanced state.

This is the way of the emperor inherited from China's 5,000-year-old history, and it is also the embodiment of the culture of moderation, and it is also the leadership art that the leader of any team must master, and the way of balance can control the overall situation.

As for Li Tang, who doesn't know anything, he's in a good mood.

The film's appearance in Venice was unexpectedly good, and the cooperation with MK2 was finalized, and Jiang Qinqin had a romantic trip, and the more than 20 bottles of Venice perfume purchased in the box were enough to show off and be chubby.

Overall, this trip to Venice was a great one.

A wisdom tooth grows horizontally in the gums, which becomes a barometer of good health, and the slightest cold can cause inflammation, followed by a toothache. If you want to pull it out, you have to wait until it's thorough before you can pull it out. But after I got better, I forgot about the pain, and I didn't have the courage to pull out the tooth, so it was good to think about it as a barometer of health. It's just that this time it seems to be a little more serious, in addition to a toothache and a low-grade fever. Originally, I wanted to continue the two shifts today, but unfortunately I couldn't do it, so let's fight for it tomorrow.
