Chapter 144: Unrelated Pictures
At the end of June, Dou Wei endured the grief of getting married and finished the mix, and the production of "Moving Labyrinth" was completed.
Years later, he insisted that what happened in the summer of '96 was a conspiracy, that he had accidentally fallen for it, but few people understood what he was talking about.
When I came to Beijing Film Studio to do the post-production, I visited the leader, and of course I couldn't keep saying a word when I left, so Su Changqing went to the director's office again.
Director Han is still so enthusiastic: "Changqing, the suggestion you made last time was very good, Xiaogang's new film is tentatively titled "Party A and Party B", and a good title is half the success." ”
The name of this piece is just the return of the thing to its original owner, and Su Changqing had to be polite.
Although the script is basically set, this movie has not started filming this year, and the current director of Han is not the boss of China Film after all, and it is not so easy to coordinate a Chinese New Year file.
Later, the box office of "Party A and Party B" was relatively successful, but the production level was really rough, and Xiaogangcang's explanation for this was hasty, and it took three months from the project to the completion of filming, which means that if he was given more time to ponder, it would not be like that.
This is disgusting, you can't pull out the and blame the pit, the New Year file is customized for him, is it embarrassing to be in a hurry?
In fact, the structure of their film is destined to be refined, and a large number of unrelated stories and jokes are pressed into dozens of minutes, how can there be a way to develop and portray them.
At this time, Director Han asked, intentionally or unintentionally: "When will the test film be arranged?"
Su Changqing was a little surprised, the cooperation was canceled, and it was a problem after the trial, he didn't plan to hold a test film meeting, I heard that Director Han wanted to see it?
He reacted quickly: "What I mean by coming is to ask the factory director when he is free, and I will arrange it." ”
Director Han thought for a while: "Then tomorrow afternoon, or in the small theater, let's discuss it in a small area." ”
The meaning of a small scope is that it is not open to the public, unlike "Taiping", which basically invites the directors, actors and friends of Beijing Film Studio.
This is undoubtedly a signal that Director Han is reconsidering this matter.
"How small is the scope, and I bring the main creators?"
Director Han waved his hand: "It's enough for you to be present alone, I will arrange the other people who participated in the seminar, some of them you have dealt with and know each other." ”
There shouldn't be many people Su Changqing knows who have intersections with Director Han, they are all in the circle.
He had a guess that he participated in the discussion of "Party A and Party B" a few days ago, so tomorrow it is likely to be the other way around, and Director Han asked those people to discuss him again.
If this is really the case, then Director Han's left-right fighting technique is too slippery.
At present, Su Changqing, Wang Shuo, and Feng Gangpao are all hot figures in the field of film and television, and it is their level and power to arrange for them to discuss with each other.
In fact, there are some things that obviously exceed the existing authority of Director Han, especially his statement on the review of "Moving Labyrinth", after all, he is only the director of Beijing Film Studio now, not an official of radio and television, even if he spreads the word, it seems abrupt, and the threat is too strong.
However, judging from the establishment of China Film two years later, all this is not surprising.
Radio and Television transferred eight state-owned units, including Beijing Film Studio, and the distribution rights to China Film, and actually gave half of the power and all the financial resources of Radio and Television to this person in his early forties, so it is not surprising that he can participate in some decisions.
The establishment of China Film has been in operation, and well-informed people have begun to stand in line to bet early, and Wang and Feng are of course right to bet on this wave of bets.
Of course, it is good that things can be turned around, Su Changqing is not a fool, he has to fight himself.
The next day, he arranged the screening early, and at half past two in the afternoon, the participants in the discussion gathered around Director Han to arrive on time.
Half of the dozen or so people had met in the last meeting room, Wang Shuo and Feng Gangpao were really on the list, and there were a few leaders of Beiying.
Director Han of several other unfamiliar faces also introduced that there are film bureaus, cultural mouths, and even image distribution companies.
Su Changqing had a feeling that this seemed to be a rehearsal before the trial.
Looking at Wang Shuo, an irrelevant picture suddenly popped up in his mind.
One day ten years later, Wang Shuo jumped up angrily in an interview with an online media, took out a US green card from his pocket, and shouted to the camera: "Don't force me to be an American, let me tell you, I have been getting a US green card for ten years, and my daughter is also an American!"
If you want to kill me, let me tell you, I've seen everything, but I don't have any doors! I'm an overseas Chinese, you have to be polite to Lao Tzu!"
Lao Wang is obviously wrong, having a green card is not an overseas Chinese.
But there is one thing he said very clearly, ten years later, the Big Buddha in the Beijing circle and the Big Dipper in the mouth of the small steel cannon were blocked, and he knew best who he had offended.
In addition, he also revealed a piece of information, he thinks that it is useful to threaten certain people with running away, this person is very ghostly, and will not do meaningless things.
After all, it is a generation of famous writers, and if he openly makes a gesture of fleeing, the cultural mouth may lose face and wait to be criticized.
Combined with the things in front of him, it seems that it can be judged that some people don't want things like Lao Mouzi's "Alive" to be repeated, and they will be released abroad without being reviewed in China, which is a lose-lose situation for both public and private.
Of course, Su Changqing and Lao Mouzi are worse than each other, but after all, he has also won many international awards, and it is also a box office guarantee, and the cumulative box office is currently unparalleled in China.
When making a commercial film, the stairs rang for a long time and didn't come up, and finally jumped outside, which in itself may be more newsworthy than the film.
In a few years, the Beijing culture will go downhill, and there is no loss in blocking a Wang Shuo.
Jia Zhangke and his ilk are excreted outside the system, and they can't give birth to much valuable things anyway, so they let them wave.
But after all, Su Changqing is a high-quality stock with huge economic potential, and it is a pity to give up.
Although the subject matter of the films he made is sensitive, it is not much of a taboo in China, if he is really disgusted because of the failure of the conspiracy, he is likely to turn sour, as if he is really afraid of the other side of the ocean, and the negative impact will be even greater.
The screening started after the on-site greetings, unlike last time, when people kept commenting, this time no one spoke.
After all, this is not an ordinary test screening, the nature is different, and it is safer for the leader to speak after setting the tone.
At the end of the screening, everyone applauded with restraint and was just basic politeness.
didn't go to the conference room, just discussed on the spot, and Director Han began: "The idea of this film is still positive, but it is a little radical, and the cooperation between Chinese, Japanese and Korean actors highlights this point, the insinuation is too strong, especially the end of the movie is too cruel and the positive meaning is insufficient." ”
With him taking the lead, everyone basically began to express their opinions according to this tone, and Su Changqing listened very carefully and did not refute anything.
The children have all been born, and they are so beautiful and ugly that people say.
Not to mention that he understands that all this is foreplay, and the focus is on the "but" at the end.
The more serious the criticism is, the more it shows that it does not intend to give up.
Specially organized a criticism meeting, Director Han may not have this leisure.
