the longest dream

Chapter 287 Chinese Movies
"Gold Mountain? Is there a gold mountain in the world?"

"If there is gold in this world, why do these foreigners come to our port?"

"Perhaps, we are already standing on the golden mountain."

……

"Proud to face ten thousand waves!"

"Hot blood like the red sun!"

"Bold as Iron"

"Bones like steel"

"A broad-minded mind and a long-sighted vision!"

"I will work hard and be a good man!"

As the subtitles appeared on the big screen and the ending song sang, countless audiences in front of [-] curtains in more than a thousand movie theaters across the country, including Pingjing, Modu, and Guangdong, stood up and applauded almost at the same time.

In fact, when Huang Feihong beat foreigners violently just now, there was already a burst of applause and applause in the cinema.

The ending song "A man should be self-improvement", and the scenes of hundreds of young and strong practicing martial arts, made the hearts of all Chinese people who have kung fu dreams in their hearts excited!
It's been a long time since I've seen such a good movie!

After Qi Juan and Liu Shanshan came out of the movie theater, Liu Shanshan looked back at the audience lined up at the door and the enthusiastic people passing by chatting, Qi Juan said: "This guy has succeeded again. What are you talking about him? into what?"

Qi Juan laughed and said, "Isn't it good to do whatever?"

Liu Shanshan looked at Qi Juan with some sympathy and said: "That can't be too outrageous, look at how big a battle he has made now. Movie theaters all over the country are watching the movies he made. I heard that people in the entertainment circle The show hooves are all shameless, they call kissing an art, and taking off their clothes is also an art. In order to be famous, what can't they do? How much temptation Zhang Qing will have to face in the future."

Qi Juan laughed and said, "Is my mother afraid of those coquettish women?"

Liu Shanshan thinks it makes sense: "With such a beautiful and irrational girl as Yanyan standing in front, other women really have no face to come forward."

Qi Juan: "You really comforted me."

Liu Shanshan laughed and said, "Isn't Yanyan a threat... Really, you just accept her as your younger brother and let her stand in front?"

Qi Juan squinted: "I'll just accept you as my younger sister."

Liu Shanshan couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Qi Juan stared, Liu Shanshan hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm just laughing at you. You accept me when I grow up like this. When people see that the threshold is so low, why don't you rush up desperately? That thirteenth aunt is very good-looking. A backless scene, I heard a lot of slobbering around me."

Qi Juan laughed suddenly, and Liu Shanshan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

The two grew up together since they were young, and they are very aware of each other's habits. Seeing Qi Juan's mysterious smile, they know that there is gossip to listen to.

After the two got into the car, Qi Juan said with a smile: "I also heard what Zhang Qing told me. This Bai Jie used to be the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong Island. When she was young, she was praised as a porcelain doll. But later, she talked with many rich men. In love, there was once the year before last..."

Even though there were only two people in the car, Qi Juan still whispered.

Liu Shanshan was listening, and suddenly her triangular eyes opened wide, and her eyes were full of disbelief, shock, fear and... curiosity, and her voice trembled: "Bao... Bowling?!"

Qi Juan thought about it carefully, and said apologetically, "My memory is wrong, it's a golf ball."

Liu Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's scary, bowling... he's crazy, and golf is scary too! These rich people are so fucking perverted!"

Thinking about the playful appearance of Thirteenth Aunt in the movie just now, the audience was fascinated by the electric eyes. Liu Shanshan felt that the three views were about to collapse. She didn't understand: "Why did Zhang Qing choose her to play Thirteenth Aunt? She's much prettier! Huh?! Could it be..."

Qi Juan patted her with an angry smile, and said, "What are you thinking? Zhang Qing just thinks that this woman has a Hong Kong style. If Yanyan is to act, she must act like a hot girl from Western Xinjiang."

Liu Shanshan laughed and was about to speak, when Qi Juan suddenly said "Huh", Liu Shanshan followed her gaze, and was stunned immediately: "Damn it, that's not your family's car... Your grandpa went to see a movie? !"

……

Chongwen District, Guanghe Theater.

After the first movie, as the people inside came out, the people queuing up outside entered in turn.

But when the second round was full, there was still a queue outside.

Niu Li and Wang Lun stood at the door watching this scene, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Since the 80s, China's film and television circles are basically their circles.

But when they were the hottest, they didn't see this kind of situation.

On the contrary, when "Shaolin Shaolin" was released in [-], there was such a situation.

But [-] and now are two different things. At that time, the reform and opening up had just started, and ordinary people across the country hadn’t seen a few other types of movies except red classics.

This resulted in a [-] cents per ticket and a box office miracle of [-] million yuan.

Although there are not many movies nowadays, Hollywood blockbusters and Hong Kong Island Sun Kuohai's movies have also been introduced, so why are they still so hungry?
Niu Li felt that his eyes were opened: "Let's watch this movie. It's good. It's good to mobilize emotions. The art, costumes, and lighting are all good. It may have such an effect. I think it's better to publicize it. Even ya There is only one reason for such an effect even before the word-of-mouth has been formed, and the publicity is done well. Three million real money is invested, and it is really not in vain."

Wang Lun sneered while smoking a cigarette: "Isn't this nonsense? What's the difference between it and a scam? If it's a bad movie, it's full of propaganda. When the common people see it, hey, it stinks. Do you still believe this? This is called self-destruction of the city wall, and you don’t follow the right path! Next time I see that kid, I’ll have to talk to him. If you want to make a movie, you have to do it for real. It’s boring to follow this path, I look down on it he."

Niu Li suddenly said: "Hey, look over there, isn't that Zhou Cheng?"

Wang Lun glanced over and said, "Hey, it's not him, with a peasant face... This old boy has been very prosperous these years."

It is probably the only one who can jump out of the Beijing circle and still stand out.

Niu Li has been envious of this guy for a long time, and the international awards are really lenient.

Even though Hong Kong Island movies are so good, considering the international awards, the entire Hong Kong Island and Bay Bay combined are not enough for Zhou Cheng.

It’s just that literary and artistic films are born with no economic effect, and mainland people don’t like to watch them much...

Niu Li looked at the back of Zhou Cheng leaving in a hurry, and thoughtfully said: "Old Wang, tell me, where did Zhou Cheng go?"

Wang Lun was puzzled and said, "How would I know? Maybe he went to find his little honey."

Niu Li shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, I think he may have gone to find Zhang Qing."

Wang Lun's heart moved, and he said: "It's really possible. There are many people in the movie circle today. Seeing such a scene, who wouldn't want to meet that kid? No, what do you mean?"

Niu Li said: "Let's go see him too!"

Wang Lun squinted and said, "Rushing up to hold stinky feet? I can't do such a thing."

Niu Li said anxiously: "Oh, my Lord Lun! Think about it, why did Zhou Cheng go to find that Lord? He must want to make a movie! The three million that Zhang Qing promised to vote for us has not yet been seen. , if Zhou Cheng cut it off, we would have nothing to cry about. Funding would come second, but it would take up the quota for co-productions, and we would have missed a good opportunity."

Hearing the words, Wang Lun had no choice but raised his head and sighed, "Let's go."

It’s not that he didn’t make any money, the royalties of his books these years are several million more, it’s because the book prices were not high and the royalties were limited in the past few years, and now, his royalties income will never be less than that of Zhang Qing .

However, he can make money, and he can also make disasters.

At the beginning, he was able to spend [-] yuan just to drive away the bicycle repairers outside the house, which shows his nature.

It was nothing at first, a talented person is not afraid of not being able to make money, but he was blocked, and he went to the United States for a while, and his daughter was born again, good guy, I finally understand the importance of money.

The guns in the hands of the great heroes are overwhelming, and it is hard to resist the words of hunger, cold and poverty, nothing more than that.

……

Beichizi Ertiao.

Zhang Qing looked at Zhou Cheng who came to visit, and said with a smile: "Director Zhou, wipe off your sweat, are you here on a bicycle?"

Zhou Cheng smiled honestly and said, "Hey, bicycles are convenient, but buses are too crowded on weekends, so I feel uncomfortable."

Don't look at how soft Zhou Cheng is when he takes money internationally. Most of the films he shoots are public productions. China Film always gives prices when purchasing. What he gets is salary, not the director's share...

So, he doesn't have a private car yet.

Sun Haiping came in with tea and went out. Zhao Qiang poured tea. Looking at the score, Zhou Cheng smiled more and more kindly, and said, "Young man, I just finished watching the movie, and I couldn't wait to come to visit. Eye-opening, wide-opening vision."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "In terms of artistry, "Huang Feihong" is far from comparable to the few films you made, director Zhou. The color is even more incomparable. You are a recognized master of color. The thickness and desolation of "Yellow Earth" , There will never be another person who can capture that realm. Bai Kezhi has a strong sense of martial arts and is well versed in martial arts culture, but in terms of the depth of the movie, it is actually not as good as Director Zhou."

Zhou Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words. He really didn't expect Zhang Qing to give him such a high evaluation. After regaining his senses, he hurriedly said modestly: "No, no, no, the young man is really flattering. I really don't mean it as a compliment. As far as the story is concerned, Bai But it is a master among the masters. It mobilizes the audience's emotions to such an extent. Hong Kong Island films are unique and cannot be compared. We have to learn from others. Just look at the audience and we will know what kind of movies ordinary people like to watch. You must not have the mentality of being superior and thinking that the common people do not understand art, if you want to do this, it will definitely end."

Zhang Qing turned back and said seriously to Zhao Qiang: "The others called Zhou Dao Guoshi, and they meant to ridicule him for doing things for the country, but I thought that with Zhou Dao's humble and studious spirit, he would become a national teacher in the future, and it is also us. An example to follow."

Zhao Qiang nodded solemnly and said: "Director Zhou has gained so many reputations, but he is still so humble. If we achieve a little bit of insignificant results, we will be complacent and self-righteous, it would be ridiculous."

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "And Director Zhou is also our elder... Director Zhou, please give me more advice in the future."

Zhou Cheng waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Those who are masters are the first, those who are masters are the first. In our circle, the qualifications and age are the lowest! If you boast like this, I will feel ashamed."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Director Zhou, you are here today... You have something to say. Let me tell you this, if you want to make a movie, our Du Juan needs money and someone to give it to you. It cannot be made in China. , I will send you to film abroad and show it abroad. It is not a matter of making money or not. It is for nothing else, just for the four words of Chinese movies. If you think we are reliable, join the big family of Dujuan Culture. We are young and don’t worry about joining other companies, but Du Juan’s support for you will not be reduced at all. It’s still the same sentence, for Chinese movies. In the movie circle, there are not many people who really make movies.”

When Zhou Cheng heard this, it was difficult to conceal his emotion and emotion on his face. A man from the Northwest actually had a sore nose and a hot heart at the moment.

During this period of time, a friend who sells medicine actually wanted to support him in making a movie, saying that the two of them made a movie together and made a lot of money.

He is already moved, whether he will make a lot of money or not, but he really loves movies.

But right now, the respect Zhang Qing gave him, even respect, and his vision for a common cause were far beyond that of that friend selling medicine.

A scholar dies for his confidant!
There is still blood in the heart of the Northwest man.

He looked at Zhang Qing and said, "Okay, since young people think highly of me, I will join Du Juan from today! Let's make Chinese movies together!"
