this world.

It is a multicultural world.

With the advancement of science and technology, globalization is getting closer and closer.

Globalization is both an opportunity and a challenge.

Foreign cultures from all over the world are constantly impacting or changing the traditional culture of China.

From Christmas to Valentine's Day, from the shelves, from all kinds of Japanese figures, tokusatsu drama goods, to Hollywood movies......

It seems that I don't know when it began, and the traditional culture of China has begun to drift away under the impact of countless foreign cultures.

The original world.

The movie "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" was released for 22 days, and the box office was only 3.65 million.

A piece of data that hits the streets to the point where it can no longer hit the streets.

The producers did not give up on saving the film, they called on the theater manager on the live broadcast platform to increase the schedule for the film, and even cried on the spot.

That kneeling caused countless controversies, thinking that it was hype, but it is undeniable that that kneeling really made "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" rise and fall.

And this world!

Similar stories are being written over and over again.

………………………………………………

November 5th.

5 days.

When the total box office exceeded 30 million......

When there are more and more comments on the Internet, all praise and touching.

You Tianming, who was over half a hundred years old, couldn't control his emotions and wet his eyes.

He pulled Ke Zhanyi to drink, drunk, all kinds of grievances, unwillingness, and incomprehension accumulated in his heart over the years, all of them were released at this moment.

This meal, drunk from the evening to the early hours of the morning.

Ke Zhanyi didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found his teacher You Tianming sitting at the head of the bed, smoking cigarettes one by one.

"Teacher?"

He touched his head, which had a headache, but saw that his teacher, You Tianming, no longer had the joy of last night.

"You betrayed Mr. Zhang before, didn't you?"

In You Tianming's mobile phone, there are countless messages about Ke Zhanyi.

Ke Zhanyi has cooperated with Zhang Sheng since "Midsummer That Year", and later did not follow Zhang Sheng all the way like Bi Feiyu, but stayed in [Shengshi Entertainment].

[Shengshi Entertainment] once had a little turmoil with Zhang Sheng, and in the turmoil, Ke Zhanyi did some messy things in order to stand up.

These things.

should have been sealed in history, which is insignificant, but it is obvious that the Internet has memory, and when the movie "Hundred Birds" rushed to the hot search, it was inevitable that Ke Zhanyi's words and deeds were also turned out......

And then......

"I didn't betray, I ...... I just didn't choose him, and many videos were maliciously edited by netizens, and I didn't say these ......"

Ke Zhanyi faced You Tianming's eyes, and he subconsciously avoided it.

After You Tianming saw Ke Zhanyi's eyes, he sighed faintly.

"Let's go!"

"Where to go?"

"Let's go meet Mr. Zhang......"

“……”

"Mr. Zhang is not good at making an appointment, now ......"

"I've already made an appointment with him!"

Ke Zhanyi saw You Tianming carefully take out an old script from the suitcase, then hid it in his arms and stood up.

Ke Zhan lowered his head.

hesitated for a moment, and finally obediently followed behind You Tianming.

Along the way, You Tianming didn't say anything to Ke Zhanyi, Ke Zhanyi's heart became more and more bottomless, with an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart.

In his memory, that old script, before "Hundred Birds", his teacher was writing it, but as for what script was written, Ke Zhanyi didn't know.

Not only did Ke Zhanyi not know, but even You Tianming's children didn't know.

The two soon came to the door of the organizer of the [Southern California International Film Awards].

After the briefing, the two walked into Zhang Sheng's office.

"Teacher You, Director Ke? Haha, come in...... Come in, you're welcome......"

When Zhang Sheng saw the two of them, he immediately stood up from the chair and greeted them with a smile on his face.

When the door closed, You Tianming, who had been smiling and saying a lot of grateful words, suddenly stared at Ke Zhanyi with a serious expression.

"Get on your knees!"

Ke Zhanyi froze, unable to believe his ears.

Zhang Sheng was also stunned.

Then, he watched Ke Zhanyi kneel in front of him with a "poof".

He frowned: "Old You, what are you singing about?" ”

"Mr. Zhang, I recently saw some of his previous actions on the Internet, as his teacher, I apologize to him......"

You Tianming looked at Zhang Sheng seriously.

Zhang Sheng still frowned, and looked at Ke Zhanyi with some confusion: "What did Director Ke do?" ”

"You have a lot of them, you may not remember, but you have a lot of them, and we can't be vague...... What is done right is right, and what is wrong is wrong......"

Zhang Sheng looked at Ke Zhanyi, who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at You Tianming.

With his emotional intelligence, he guessed something in an instant, and then laughed: "Director Ke, you get up first, the past is over, look forward in the future......"

Ke Zhanyi did not get up, but knelt down to apologize.

"He is young, he will be confused when he is young, and he is easy to be confused, but his foundation is not bad......" You Tianming did not let Ke spread his wings, but looked at Zhang Sheng.

"Teacher You, what are you ......?"

"Mr. Zhang, if you are willing to believe me, I hope that he will invest in your company and follow ......you in the future."

"Teacher You, don't be like this, Director Ke and I are originally friends and partners in cooperation, how can there be anything that you can't follow...... Director Ke, get up, if you don't get up again, I'm really going to call the security guards! Zhang Sheng looked at Ke Zhanyi with a smile.

Ke Zhanyi finally stood up when he heard this.

You Tianming silently took out a script from his arms, and then carefully handed it to Zhang Sheng: "Mr. Zhang, this is a meeting gift for you......

Zhang Sheng subconsciously took the script, very puzzled: "This is ......"

"This is a script that I have written all my life......"

“……”

Zhang Sheng returned to his position and looked at the script called "Ambush on All Sides".

At first, it was simply opened, but after reading the story of this script seriously, Zhang Sheng became serious.

This is a story about Peking Opera.

From the perspective of two boys, under the persistent pursuit of Peking Opera art, they have gone through the changes of the times and unfolded a half-century-long love, hate, sorrow, joy and turmoil......

When Zhang Sheng saw half of it, even if it was him, his heart was slightly shocked.

"Farewell My Concubine"!

The plots of "Ambush on All Sides" and "Farewell My Concubine" are slightly different, but the story framework is relatively similar, the ending is different, but what is hidden inside is extremely profound.

More than an hour passed, and after Zhang Sheng finished reading it, he looked up at You Tianming: "Teacher You, this script ......"

Zhang Sheng looked at "Ambush on All Sides", and his emotions were suddenly unprecedentedly complicated.

"If, Mr. Zhang, you think this script is eye-catching, I hope to give him to you." You Tianming observed Zhang Sheng carefully.

He didn't see contempt on Zhang Sheng's face, but became more and more serious and dignified, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he was a little happy.

"This meeting gift is a bit valuable......"

After reading the script, Zhang Sheng naturally realized very clearly that every word and deed of every character in the script had been carefully crafted.

He wasn't sure what the movie would be, but what he knew for sure was that this should be the most precious thing in You Tianming's life.

"If it meets not Bole, then it is a piece of paper, worthless, and if it really meets Bole, it will be valuable when it meets people who can really appreciate it......"

Zhang Sheng nodded after listening to it, and looked at You Tianming after closing the script: "When do you plan to shoot?" ”

"If Mr. Zhang approves of us, then we will go back now and prepare for the filming of this movie......"

"Oh......"

Zhang Sheng nodded.

There was silence for a moment.

From the bag he was carrying, he took out another script.

You Tianming looked at this script and was a little puzzled.

I saw Zhang Sheng showing a more complicated smile: "This is something I have figured out in the past few days, and I originally planned to talk to you today...... Now it seems that this script that I have pieced together seems to make little sense......"

"Can I take a look?" You Tianming immediately asked.

"Well, look at it, it's just a simple story line, and it's also some stories in the pear orchard......" Zhang Sheng nodded, and handed the script that had just been written not long ago to You Tianming.

“……”

After You Tianming took Zhang Sheng's script, he saw four words written on the script.

"Farewell My Concubine"!

Subsequently......

When You Tianming flipped through this article called "Farewell My Concubine", the whole person was stunned!

Then his brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and then he sat down in his chair......

………………………………

The door to the office opened.

You Tianming followed Ke Zhanyi and walked out.

You Tianming's mood was a little nervous.

"Teacher, this "Farewell My Concubine" ......"

"I have a hunch that this movie, if it is really made, may go down in history!"

"Huh?" He was stunned when he heard his teacher You Tianming say this so seriously.

As far as he can remember, he never seemed to see his teacher say that about a script like that.

"That's ...... compared to your Ambush on All Sides"

"If Mr. Zhang's script skills are slightly stronger, his understanding of some things in Liyuan is more detailed, and the story is more refined, then ......"

"So what?"

"It won't be worse than "Ambush on All Sides" written by me for most of my life, perhaps, Mr. Zhang has another possibility that I ignored!"

“……”

You Tianming muttered to himself.

Then he looked at the beach in the distance, and after a long time, he made a decision.

Immediately after, in Ke Zhanyi's confused eyes, he walked and knocked on the door of Zhang Sheng's office.

"Mr. Zhang?"

"Teacher You?"

"If I can, I hope to complete this "Farewell My Concubine" with you......"

"Huh?"

"Mr. Zhang, you are the director, and I will assist you in making this movie!"

"I don't understand ...... movies"

"You just need to tell me, what kind of effect do you want to present, what kind of story is in your heart......" When he heard Zhang Sheng say that he didn't understand the movie, the corners of You Tianming's mouth twitched slightly, and then continued.

"It's okay, but I don't have time to stay on the set......"

"You can remotely command, before and after the saddle, Ke Zhanyi, this kid can help......"

“……”

………………………………

The Southern California International Film Awards are in full swing.

One Chinese movie after another is being screened in the business district.

Zhou Songtao walked out of the place of a "Guanyin" in the screening area.

The name of "Guanyin" is very high, but the content of the movie is not about the story of the gods saving people.

It's Guanyin soil.

The tone of the film is one of desperation throughout.

It was the great famine of the sixties of the last century, and the picture was so cruel that it was suffocating, and the hungry and skinny people gnawed tree bark and ate soil in order to survive......

After watching the first half, Zhou Songtao of the cultural department only felt that a knife had stabbed into the depths of his heart, making him want to escape from the claustrophobic movie theater.

But......

The second half of the movie is not the same as the [underground director] who won awards overseas in the past.

It does not blindly exaggerate the ugliness of human nature, nor does it condense the evil to the extreme, and then completely make people despair and misanthropy.

Since a group of Chinese directors have rushed to participate in the three major film festivals, the films that can win rankings and even awards have always been such films.

They blindly present the ugly side of human nature, the poverty and backwardness of society, and the sorrow of the current era with fictional stories......

Zhou Songtao has been to several film festivals, and when he returned to China, he even heard an overseas moviegoer ask such a question.

[Do you Chinese people all have braids, and then, live in adobe houses, and the streets are full of thieves and J girls? 】

At that time, Zhou Songtao was shocked and hurriedly denied it.

After hearing the denial, the foreigner was obviously a little skeptical.

It's hard to believe that this is a question asked by a foreigner after the millennium.

At that moment, Zhou Songtao felt only sadness.

He watched countless overseas award-winning and shortlisted films before the millennium.

Except for "Xiang Chu", almost all the shortlisted films are from the perspective of thieves, J women, P guests and other people on the margins of society, and then through a series of things they do, the audience unconsciously thinks that it is a backward, sad, and even desolate world.

The cultural department naturally realized the horror of this kind of thing, so it chose to block those directors as soon as possible.

Of course, there are also some voices on the Internet, constantly saying that the relevant departments have corrected the past, and some people have said resentful things like "Qingfeng is illiterate, why do you flip through books", "There is national peace and security everywhere, and no one tells the truth anymore".

A group of people from the Huaxia Film Association also have a strong opinion on this, and they have asked him to elaborate, claiming that film is an art, and art should not be thought too much.

It would be nice if everyone could be the same as Zhang Sheng.

Just when he was thinking......

Zhang Sheng's call came.

He answered the phone......

"Director Zhou......"

"Mr. Zhang, hello ......"

"Director Zhou, I'm going to make a movie, well, I want a little support......"

"What's your point?"

"Just a little, are you in Brazil? Let's talk in person? ”

"It's okay to talk, but don't drink tea, your tea is too famous, I can't be blessed with ......"

“……”

(Ahh......h Not much more today, only four thousand, this New Year, people have some self-doubt)
