My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 840 Five Golden Flowers and the Tea Party
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.

Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's biggest melon is gone, so they can't jump to talk about gourd babies, right?
Ah Mou still insists on family planning~~ Then the biggest melon besides this is naturally his career in art!

Zhang Yimou's indissoluble bond with the camera has become a "model of persistent dreams" at this time.

"Hehehehehe... This matter is getting more and more evil now. When it was announced in the newspaper some time ago, I was shocked when I read it, and I couldn't bear to look directly at it. This newspaper really made me a model .”

Zhang Yimou was naive, shook his head dumbfounded, and said:

"I came back from being an educated youth who jumped in the queue and became a worker at the No. 36 National Cotton Factory. At that time, my salary... I remember it was 40 yuan, and it rose to 2 yuan and [-] cents later.

Director Wu, you are from Hong Kong, so you may not know much about this salary level.

This is basically the end for the second-level workers in the textile system.At that time, I was able to save 10 yuan a month, which was not bad.

In those days, it was quite normal for factories to organize blood donations, and everyone had a share in healthy young workers.After donating blood, each person has a subsidy of 20 yuan.

I just put these subsidies in the money to buy the camera, and I saved for more than three years at that time... Finally, with my mother's sponsorship, it was enough..."

At the end, Zhang Yimou couldn't help laughing himself.

This is very similar to asking the person who bought a Lamborghini with his own savings and made everyone feel the power of chicken soup, his inspirational story.

Then he told you very sincerely that he relied on his own efforts... plus the car he bought for 300 million yuan sponsored by his father.

Of course, Zhang Yimou did donate blood, but not as rumored.

The media especially likes to set up typical models, and for this reason they do not hesitate to cover the typical models with their processed chicken soup stories.

It must be profound and touching, otherwise, it seems that it is not enough to prove how much he loves photography.

This is particularly repulsive, so why sometimes I always feel that the level of publicity is really limited~ It’s not as good as the celebrity PR team~ People will also "cause disasters to the east", "take the initiative to touch porcelain", "show the enemy to be weak ', 'Trying around', 'Attracting discussion' and other tricks~
Their propagandists are blindly flattering and killing.

"My camera is a Seagull 4 double-lens reflex camera. I remember it very clearly. I spent 186 yuan and 6 cents, and I added a few dollars to buy a medium yellow filter. The first photo I took was a fellow villager by the Weihe River. Pulling a cow to plow the land... the soil color is very dark, and the texture is very prominent when it is opened one by one."

"What you said seems to mean "Yellow Earth"." Wu Xiaozu said with a smile.

"Really." Lao Mouzi squeezed his decree lines away, a smile appeared on his ravine face.

"Have you ever thought about preparing for the next film?" Wu Xiaozu took the initiative: "I invited you to participate in "Women's Volleyball" is actually a buffer for you. Your talent and ability are enough to have a greater display.

If there is any demand in art, I can let the company invest.Never interfere with your creation.At the same time, it will also coordinate the relationship at home and abroad. "

"thanks--"

Zhang Yimou was full of gratitude, "When I filmed "Codenamed Jaguar" last year, I found that I was really not good at that type of subject matter, so I wanted to continue the style of "Red Sorghum". I watched "Fuxi Fuxi" some time ago. ", I think this is a work that deeply shows human nature. I want to try to adapt it..."

The chili powder one?
Wu Xiaozu was very impressed with this drama, this drama is no less than a horror movie to him.

Really.

A particularly depressing and eerie work.

At the same time, this play and "A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju" were also regarded by many Taoists and film critics as works that smeared the Chinese.He believes that Lao Mouzi is the biggest black hand to discredit China and cater to foreign countries.

His films show the ignorance of the Chinese people and the roughness of the countryside.

These are their words.

I don't know how they figured out these words from their own lack of vocabulary, and then interpreted them openly...Anyway, we ordinary people definitely don't accept this kind of interpretation.

So, you have no way to communicate with film critics and these moralists.When you make a film that exposes human nature, they scold you for exposing your scars and ugliness, and flatter foreign film festivals.

"Red Sorghum" ended with a lot of scolding... After winning the award, Zhang Yimou only had a good time for three months before he was cursed overwhelmingly.Criticizing the folk customs and customs of the old age he showed in the film is "vilifying Chinese people" or even "humiliating China".In addition, those audiences who like this film imitate the drunk appearance of the bearers in the film after walking out of the theater, humming the "unpleasant" ditty, which is also a manifestation of the three vulgarities.

Otherwise, Zhang Yimou wouldn't be filming "Code Named Jaguar"!

When he went to shoot commercial blockbusters to save those who were on the verge of entering the vicious circle of art films, they jumped out again to flatter the market and audience, losing the strength of an artist.

At that time, they scolded that the Chinese will always make those Korean movies.

Question, didn't you say that at the beginning? ?

Let them say all the good things.

Because it is indeed true to say such a large and comprehensive statement.Of course, if these films were made by foreigners, these moralists and film critics might change their direction, right?

The play "Ju Dou" is actually a release of Zhang Yimou's feelings.To a certain extent, this is also a portrayal of the relationship between him and Gong Li at that time.

What kind of person is the leading actor Yang Tianqing?

He has a wicked heart but no guts, sneaks around, hides and hides, and every move outside makes him terrified, and the burden is very heavy.At the same time, I can't restrain my instinctive impulse and desire, just like being fried on both sides on a pan and baked on both sides, but the result is that I am not human inside and out.

Take a closer look, is it a portrayal of Zhang Yimou himself in the relationship between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li?
"You first arrange someone to adapt the script, and then we discuss it together. I voted for this film."

Wu Xiaozu nodded, agreeing to invest.

However, the play was banned in the previous life.

Mainly because the tone is too dark.

He considered whether it can be made into a Hong Kong version and a mainland version. He should be sure that this kind of thing is up to him.Of course, the higher-ups must also communicate well and the lower-level should also appease well.

"Good!" Zhang Yimou was overjoyed. Although there was no shortage of investment, it couldn't be better to have Wu Xiaozu to invest!
When the two were chatting, the door was suddenly pushed open, Chen Kai walked in wearing a turtleneck, looking like a progressive young man, and raised his eyebrows when he came in.

"Are you here so early?"

"Come and sit if you can't sleep." Wu Xiaozu replied with a smile, while Zhang Yimou smiled shyly.

In Film Academy, the Oldest Small Mouzi From a Small Place Is Actually 'Fringe'

Others played and read "internal information" before, and their knowledge and knowledge far surpassed him.

Otherwise, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kai wouldn't laugh at him when they watched those internal movies, "Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden".

At that time, Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang were the heads of the 78th class, and everyone flattered them, because the classmates had a consensus that if they were to be successful in this class, these two would definitely come out first.

At that time, small businessmen with a low starting point could only rely on hard work to make up for their weakness.While studying hard, I also have to work hard to have a good relationship with my classmates.

Brother Kai always thought that he was the one who supported Zhang Yimou.

At this time, seeing Zhang Yimou sitting with Wu Xiaozu, I felt a little uncomfortable~~~~
The general mental activity is: How can you be so close to the father?Obviously I am the eldest prince!

Behind him, Gu Changwei, Wang Jiawei, and Lin Chaochen filed in.

Zou Lin and several staff members from Hong Kong Island also came in one after another and took their seats one after another.There are always more than a dozen main creative personnel.

Huang Jianxin and Li Shaohong didn't come, they went to Beijing Film and Chinese Opera to choose actors.

After all, this movie is a co-production, and Beiying must have its own arrangements.

It is impossible for the women's volleyball players to be the focus, and he doesn't mind delegating power.Of course, Wu Xiaozu has the final decision.

"Everyone is here, let's all sit down and drink some water..." Wu Xiaozu glanced around with a smile, "Where's Lao Tian?"

"Lao Tian has gone to pick you up. Teacher Li Xuejian is very sorry for turning down your invitation. He took the initiative to recommend Wang Xueqi, an old friend from Kongzheng Repertory Theatre, to audition for the role of Yuan Weimin." Gu Changwei took the initiative to refill Wu Xiaozu's tea.

ho~
This is not the famous Black Stone Rotary King in "Sword Rain", Li Yutang in "October Besieged City", Thirteen Swallows in "Mei Lanfang"... the one who straightened his waist and took out the garbage.

This person and Bingbing were also rumored to have a nose and eyes at the beginning~ what kind of gossip about living together for two years, bowing their heads and being willing to be a bully, etc., was often searched for at the time... Regardless of whether it is true or not, the acting skills are really good.

Wu Xiaozu really didn't know that the other party belonged to the Kongzheng Repertory Troupe.

"Okay, let's go back and try the play, let's talk about everyone's knowledge and understanding of movies these days, let's talk freely... By the way, wait for our five golden flowers." Wu Xiaozu took a sip of tea, thanking Gu Changwei smile.

"Giggle cluck..."

When everyone was chatting, they heard laughter like silver bells. The four golden flowers, Gong Li, Wang Zuzhen, Xu Qing, and Jiang Wenli, also walked in full of energy, each wearing Li Yan and I·T Jointly designed uniforms for the national team.

This was specifically requested by Wu Xiaozu.

This year's sportswear is all sponsored by two companies, which avoids the embarrassment of being out of shape.

Several people followed the training and experienced life in the training center, which also brought them closer to each other.

"Didn't Joyce come? Didn't she live here last night?" Wang Xianxian asked curiously.

Wu Xiaozu heard the words, stretched the high collar of the stretched clothes, raised his hands, continued to sip tea, and at the same time signaled everyone to continue to speak freely and fully devote themselves to work.

"Maybe it's because of discomfort." Gong Li said.

Wang Xianxian subconsciously glanced at Wu Xiaozu, seeing that he didn't notice this side, he was totally devoting himself to work, and didn't say anything...

dong dong~
"I'm sorry I'm sorry..."

Feng Trousers came in from the door in a panic, and saw that everyone had arrived, so he nodded and bowed in apology.
"Find a seat and sit down."

Wu Xiaozu glanced at Feng Pants who took the initiative to sit next to Brother Chen Kai, and then glanced at Zhang Yimou beside him.

Heh, the three directors who are most familiar to the people of the whole country are back together, and Wu Xiaozu looks relieved.

Small steel guns are not the fifth generation.

The age is good enough, but the style does not have any resonance with the fifth generation, and at the same time... At this time, the film industry has always looked down on commercial films.

It's not easy for everyone.

Wu Xiaozu didn't look sideways, and said seriously: "You all also read the script in front of you, and at the same time, talk about your feelings about experiencing life in the women's volleyball team these days, come one by one. Xiaoxian, let's talk first——"

"I?"

Wang Zuzhen was startled, seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, and put away other thoughts.

The experience of life these days really made her feel a lot.

She had never had such an experience before.

Fortunately, Gong Li was there to guide her hand in hand, and the fact that this drama was her boyfriend's drama, she could still persist through gritting her teeth...

Otherwise, you will find a pick.

I'm really not used to it!

Jiao Didi's female stars come to experience life, not to mention eating and sleeping together, but also training.

Fortunately, she has the foundation, otherwise she would have been unable to bear it long ago.

Even so, she lost a few pounds.

This is why Wu Xiaozu asked Wang Zuzhen to act, if it were someone else...it might not be able to persist.

In other words, even if the actor can persist, the agency or film company behind him will not allow a popular star to waste a few months in the mainland in this era...

It's not like a few years later, when Hong Kong films started to decline, and the market began to show signs of depression, so they had no chance to make movies with high salaries again...

What's more, Wu Xiaozu's salary is not high.

No one wants to.

So, you see, it is actually a business need for directors to seek female stars.Take a closer look and see if famous directors all do this.
