The literary era since 1979

Chapter 260 Return to Beijing! Return to Beijing immediately!
There are two side doors on the east wall of the auditorium on the first floor.

The thick red and black curtains were drawn aside, and Fang Yan and Zhao Jing walked out. They walked along the long corridor and found an exit on the left side at the end. Looking out through the door, they saw an open space.

The wall was very high, with broken beer bottles growing on the top.

The debris was densely packed, flashing a faint green light, and pointed towards the sky, specially prepared for people who climb over the wall to evade tickets and steal.

"Teacher Fang, I'm going to go back first. You guys can chat slowly."

Zhao Jing gave him a meaningful look.

Fangyan followed her gaze and saw Gong Xing standing behind a tree, wearing a high-waisted umbrella skirt, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, fluttering in the wind.

Two people hid behind a tree and whispered to each other.

"I was wondering why Zhao Jing came to see me."

Fang Yan grabbed her hand and smiled, "So you are the matchmaker for Zhang Sheng."

As soon as Gong Xing heard it, he knew he was talking about "Romance of the West Chamber". With the help of Hongniang, Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng got married, and finally the lovers got married. Her cheeks couldn't help but blush.

"It's not all your fault!"

"Blame me?"

Fangyan looked her straight in the eyes.

"Isn't it your fault?"

Gong Xing said: "We were so impulsive that day by the Suzhou River that they didn't dare to ask you, but they have been pestering me these days."

Fang Yan smiled and asked, "What did you ask?"

Gong Xing rolled his eyes, "I want to know, then answer me first, why were you so impulsive that day?"

"Guess." Fang Yan said.

Gong Xing glared at him, "You little kid, still guessing!"

Fang Yan smiled without saying anything. She just stretched out her hand to straighten Gong Qian's hair that was messed up by the wind, and kept staring at her.

"Are you jealous?"

Gong Xing poked his waist with his finger.

"Jealous!?"

Fang Yan showed a playful smile and continued her words: "I'm not jealous! Why would I be jealous?"

The more Gong Xing denied it, the more he believed it. "You are really jealous. Zhao Jing and the others told me."

Fang Yan smiled and said, "What did I tell you?"

"It was you who recommended Daoming to act, why are you jealous of him?"

Gong Wei told the truth, helplessly saying: "Those are all rumors. How could you, such a smart person, believe them?"

"Oh, do you still remember what I told you? It's hard for a wise man to fall in love, and it's hard to become a wise man after meeting you." Fang Yan sighed.

"..."

Seeing his lost look, Gong Xing hesitated for a while, and finally took the initiative to put his arms around his waist, "Don't be jealous, okay?"

"not good!"

Fangyan smiled in his heart, "I'm still jealous. Today I went to eat sweet and sour pork ribs. There was obviously sugar and pork ribs, but I only tasted vinegar. I'm so jealous..."

Gong Xing said angrily: "You liar, I don't believe it!"

"Don't believe it? If you don't believe me, smell it. There's a taste of vinegar between my teeth." Fangyan exerted a little force and hugged the whole person in his arms.

Gong Xing rushed in and buried his face in his chest, his ears red, and said in a weak voice: "Is it okay now?"

"Not enough!" Fang Yan said.

"you!"

Gong Xian raised his head suddenly and saw him chuckle, his eyes full of teasing. He understood immediately: "Okay, you are pretending, right? You are deliberately lying to me about your jealousy, right?"

"how can that be possible!"

Fang Yan suppressed his smile and said, "You don't know how jealous I am?"

"Just lie to me, you big liar. You have been lying to me all along. You still haven't given me the second half of the poem."

Gong Xing struggled a few times in his arms.

Fang Yan said: "You don't believe it, right? Then I'll let you taste how jealous I am!"

Gong Xing was stunned. Before he could react to how to taste the vinegar, he immediately got the answer. Two shadows overlapped on the wall.

Just like a little deer sipping water carelessly by the pond.

The bangs on her forehead covered her eyes like dark clouds.

The whole person fell into darkness dizzily.

"Well."

In an instant, a bolt of thunder struck in the darkness.

My mind went blank and my soul drifted to who knows where.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but when Gong Xing returned to the theater in a daze, one-third of the movie had already been shown.

Sitting back in his seat, he was completely absent-minded. "Sister Gong Xi?"

Zhao Jing pushed gently and called her name.

Zhang Yu turned her head and looked her up and down. "Sister Gong Xi, why are your lips a little swollen?"

Gong Xing forced himself to remain calm and pursed his lips:

"Really? You're seeing things."

"Sister Gong Xi, did you secretly eat something delicious?"

Zhang Yu saw her wandering eyes and pouted, "Okay, you didn't even take me with you when you eat, you guys..."

"Shh!"

Gong Xing made a gesture to silence the crowd and whispered, "Don't speak so loudly. Be quiet in public."

Zhao Jing glanced at her guilty good sister, then looked at Fang Yan who was slowly coming back from the side door with brisk steps and a smile on his lips.

I just tried Gong Xing ice cream, it’s delicious!

As soon as I returned to my seat, I heard Wu Yigong, Xie Jin and others discussing the shooting techniques, film aesthetics, lens language, etc. of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", and then they came to a conclusion.

It is completely different from the current mainstream film concept!
"This one is called, 'Imagery and Color to Highlight Emotions'."

He spoke briefly in dialect.

Wu Yigong said: "Yes, the biggest breakthrough of this film is that they use pictures to 'speak', refining, matching and rendering colors, using unique tones to form a new audio-visual language system, showing a green postal route."

Fangyan asked, "Isn't that very bold?"

Xie Jin said: "The young people in Guixi Factory are indeed bold and have ideas. Most importantly, they dare to think and act."

Fang Yan said: "It is precisely because of this that Director Wei dared to take this initiative, breaking the convention and forming this young film crew."

"but."

Xie Jin changed the subject, "It is good to express emotions silently, but the priorities cannot be reversed. Pictures and colors are only forms after all, while content and narrative are the core of the film."

Fang Yan clapped his hands, "That's right, Director Xie and I have the same idea, and that's what I told Zhang Yimou and the others as well."

Wu Yigong said with emotion: "This movie is worth watching several times by the directors, art designers and photographers of Shanghai Film Studio."

Xie Jin nodded, "I agree."

Wu Yigong looked at Fangyan and said, "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog will definitely be introduced to Japan, and it will inevitably need to be translated. Have you decided which translation studio to find to do this?"

"I can't make the decision."

Fangyan said: "I'm afraid the Film Bureau will have to make the decision."

Nowadays, foreign films introduced through formal channels must be interpreted by the "Dubbing Studio", that is, translated into Mandarin. In addition, domestic films can also be translated into foreign languages.

The more famous ones in China at present are "Shanghai Film Translation Studio" and "Changchun Film Translation Studio".

“But you also have the right to make suggestions.”

Wu Yigong cast an inquiring look.

After discussing with them, Fangyan felt that it would be a good idea to hand "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" over to the Shanghai Film Translation Studio.

After all, the translation is indeed of high quality.

For example, in "The Great Escape", "Tea for two" if simply translated is "two servings of tea", but in the end, this phrase was translated into "鸳鸯茶", which is faithful, accurate and elegant.

Of course, we should also avoid making funny translation mistakes like Ultraman, like calling the flame-headed captain Zoffy "Shaforin".

The plan to destroy Ultraman was made by Zoffy.

…………

"That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was released for three days, but it did not create much of a stir across the country like "The Shepherd", "Shaolin Temple" and "Lush Mountain Love". The response was mediocre and it was not very popular.

Fortunately, the "hometown fever" has not subsided, and coupled with the booking of screenings by postal units across the country, "Those Mountains, Those People, Those Dogs" was watched by quite a number of people, and both tickets and copies sold well.

In the 80s, movies were purchased and sold under a unified system.

Settlement cannot be made immediately after the contract is signed. China Film Corporation will first advance the studio's film revenue and then settle the bill based on the actual number of copies ordered.

At that time, China Film had to advance 100 million yuan for a movie, and the price of one copy was 1.05 yuan. That is to say, if the number of copies ordered was less than 95, the studio had to refund China Film.

If this trend continues, Guixi Factory will not have to return the 100 million to China Film and can put the money in its pocket with peace of mind.

In the guesthouse, Fangyan put down his pen.

After completing the script for "The Garland Under the Mountain", I have been busy with the first draft of "The Grandmaster Huang Feihong 2".

The only thing missing is the ending. Of course, it cannot be like the ending of "A Cutting Sword Conquers the City", where Wang Wuxing's attempt to assassinate Yuan Shikai fails.

"Dong dong dong."

At this moment, the staff knocked on the door and conveyed a message that a long-distance call had just come in from Yanjing.

When Fangyan asked, he found out that the caller was Zhang Guangnian.

I immediately went to the public telephone and spent a long time to finally get in touch with Zhang Guangnian. The general meaning was -

It’s hard to explain over the phone, it’s urgent, come back quickly!
