Chapter 178 "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

Time flies, a month is fleeting, unconsciously, came to December.

Most of the scenes of "My Father and Mother" have been filmed, and there are only two scenes left to be filmed.

One part is Zhao Di played by Zhang Ziyi in the wind and snow, looking forward to Luo Changyu played by Qi Wei returning to the village in Congcheng;

Two scenes need to be shot with two completely different lenses, one is a color lens, and the other is a black and white lens.

In fact, almost one-third of the entire film is black and white, and it's all about the modern day when the father died.

The colorful picture is the story of father and mother meeting, knowing and loving each other when they were young.

Generally speaking, black and white pictures are suitable for stories in memories.

But in this movie it's the exact opposite.

In fact, these images were formed in Lao Mouzi's mind long before the filming started.

And this seems to say: without you, my world loses its color.

It really highlights the simple yet extraordinary love between the parents in the movie.

more sincere.

In addition to the color, the composition of the whole movie is also good.

For example, in the opening black-and-white segment, the scene in which the son exhorts his mother uses two people in the same frame throughout the scene, and visually emphasizes left-right symmetry, which clearly shows the opposition between the two in terms of positions.

There is also the grand vision and S-shaped composition of the father when he appeared on the stage, suggesting the twists and turns of the emotional road between the two, and this expression appears twice in the film.

Compared with Huo Jianqi's filming of "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog", Lao Mouzi's filming of "My Father and Mother" is more like showing off skills, and the camera language is very rich.

From the perspective of shooting skills, it also reflects the gap between these international big directors and ordinary good directors.

Of course, this is also related to the implicit father-son relationship in "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog". The simple scenes sometimes make people chew repeatedly.

For the remaining two scenes, we had to wait for the snow because we had to shoot on a snowy day.

For the past week, Lao Mouzi has been watching the weather forecast. Not only did he read it himself, but he also called the meteorological experts in Beijing to ask when it would snow in Ningfeng County.

That's because Lao Mouzi is a famous director at home and abroad, and he has a great reputation. If any small director dares to ask such a urging question, the meteorological experts will probably jump up and curse at the phone.

Finally, you got the answer from the weather experts, that snow is not possible until the end of December.

There is no other way, the crew can only wait.

But Qi Wei couldn't wait, he still promised Mr. Zhou that he would go to Hong Kong City in December.

Although Qi Wei's scenes have not been filmed yet, there are not many shots left. There is no need to wait with the crew. When it snows, just return to the crew to shoot a few more shots.

Although the feeling of driving right away is not the best, it is exciting, and Qi Wei will try it whenever he has the opportunity.

Zhang Ziyi is also very cooperative.

Today is December 12st, riding back again, drinking hot tea Zhang Ziyi's body is warm, and she looks at Qi Wei affectionately with a red face.

Fortunately, the weather was relatively cold, and no one saw anything.

"Are you leaving the group today?" she asked.

"Yeah." Qi Wei nodded and explained: "There are some things to deal with in Hong Kong City, and I want to discuss the new album and concert with Polygram."

This is also one of the purposes of Qi Wei's trip to the port city.

"You are preparing for a new album!"

Zhang Ziyi, who is a music fan, suddenly became interested, and she asked excitedly: "How many songs have you created now, can you sing them to me, and there are more."

She paused, showing a bit of shyness, and continued to ask: "Is there any song for me? I mean, do you get inspiration from me?"

In an interview, Qi Wei once boldly admitted that some songs were composed for girls he liked, and girls would inspire him, Zhang Ziyi knew this.

Although she felt that although the two had a close relationship, Qi Wei didn't have much affection for her, but she still expected Qi Wei to write her into the song.

Looking at her, Qi Wei couldn't bear to hurt her, and remembered the song "Love a Little" she once sang with Second Brother Wang.

How about she sang that song? Even though she is addicted to food, she still sang it very seriously.

This song is quite good, but I can put this song in the new album.

So Qi Wei looked at her, the corner of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and asked: "If I invite you to sing a duet in my new album, would you like it?"

"Can I?"

Zhang Ziyi still has self-knowledge about his own singing level.

But Qi Wei is a pop king after all, to be able to sing a duet in his new album is definitely a rare opportunity to become famous, Zhang Ziyi couldn't hide his excitement.

"I just ask you if you want to?"

"Of course, I am willing." Zhang Ziyi nodded repeatedly.

"That's enough."

After all, we are only recording songs in a recording studio, and there are millions of sound engineers in hand. Qi Weilian and Gao Yuanyuan, a soul singer, can handle it well.

During the filming of "My Father and Mother", Qi Wei was very satisfied with Zhang Ziyi's efforts.

Paying and giving in return, this is Qi Wei's way of treating women.

"My Father and Mother" will be released in the second half of next year. At that time, Qi Weixin will be released without accident.

Singing a song with Xinmou Girl can also promote Lao Mouzi's movie.

Although this movie does not have Qi Wei's investment, after all, Qi Wei has participated in it. After the movie is released, the higher the box office, the better.

After all, Qi Wei still wants to cooperate with Lao Mouzi on the "Heroes" project, so selling favors is not bad.

"I will contact you when the new album is produced. You have to be prepared." Qi Wei said with a smile.

"Well, I will do my best to live up to your trust."

She looked at Qi Wei, put her arms around Qi Wei's waist suddenly, and said reluctantly: "I don't want you to leave."

Qi Wei smiled, stroked her hair, and said, "I'm just leaving the group, not parting for life or death. We'll see each other soon."

"I'm used to sleeping with you at night. Your warmth makes me obsessed. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep after you leave."

Well, when she was young, she still had some longing for love, maybe she was really emotional.

Qi Wei shook his head involuntarily, glanced at his RV, and said softly: "I know you are afraid of the cold, so I will keep the RV for you, so that's fine."

"I'd rather you stay."

"You know I can't."

She looked at Qi Wei, hesitated and finally gritted her teeth and asked, "Our relationship won't disappear with the filming of this movie, right?"

Qi Wei gave the same answer to the other girls: "It's up to you to decide. If you want to continue, you can keep it. If you want to end it, I won't bother you anymore. But you also know that I have other girls, so this This relationship will not be made public, even if it is exposed, I will not be able to admit it."

"Then continue." She buried her head in Qi Wei's arms.

Although this is not the answer she wants.

But she still wanted to continue after being moved.

Of course, she also has her own reason, knowing that if she keeps with Qi Wei, she can get more of what she wants.

If you can't get this relationship, at least use what Cheng Qi Wei got to achieve yourself.

And Qi Wei's attitude towards this relationship is even more indifferent.

With the promotion of status, the inner desire will expand, which is the same for men and women.

This is especially true for an ambitious woman like Zhang Ziyi.

At least for now, Qi Wei is not sure that she will be able to handle her success in the future.

And Qi Wei didn't have much affection for her, nor did he have the desire to conquer that he did when he treated Yu Feihong.

So I won't force it.

When Qi Wei hugged Zhang Ziyi and was about to go back to the car for the final farewell, Lao Mouzi and Zhang Weiping appeared in front of Qi Wei.

"It didn't disturb your good business, did it?" Lao Mouzi looked at Qi Wei and Zhang Ziyi with squinted eyes and a smile.

From the second half of November, Zhang Ziyi spent the night in Qi Wei's RV every night, and the interaction between the two became more and more intimate and frequent, so anyone could see the relationship between the two.

When the crew is filming, it is normal to have mutual affection.

Because of drama, Lao Mouzi did it himself.

For Qi Wei and Zhang Ziyi, Lao Mouzi is still very happy to see their success.

After all, the two are acting as a couple in the movie, and Qi Wei is so famous, so when the time comes to hype up the scandal when the announcement is made, it will definitely be powerful for the box office.

Of course, if you want to hype, you must obtain the consent of the parties, especially Qi Wei.

However, there are so many scandals about Qi Wei, and Zhang Ziyi, who has filmed Qi Wei's MV, is one of his scandal targets.

Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, so Qi Wei should have no objection.

"What do you think?" Qi Wei was like an old schemer, showing displeasure that his interest had been interrupted.

"Shall I give you 10 minutes?" Lao Mouzi didn't care, and said with a smile.

"10 minutes, you think I'm a middle-aged man like you, with plenty of time but not enough strength, at least half an hour."

"Why don't I believe it, why don't you try it, we'll count the time for you outside, and it won't be a problem if you wait for half an hour."

Seeing Zhang Ziyi buried his head in his arms, looking shy after being teased, Qi Wei coughed twice, looked at Zhang Weiping behind Lao Mouzi, and said:

"Mr. Zhang, I must have something important to do when I came back from the capital. Let's talk about the business first."

Zhang Weiping glanced at Zhang Ziyi in Qi Wei's arms, Qi Wei understood, and quickly said, "She doesn't matter."

Zhang Weiping nodded, and said, "My company has already done foreign market research, and the martial arts commercial blockbuster is indeed very interesting."

"Then, you two are willing to cooperate with me."

Zhang Weiping replied: "We have to see the script of "Hero" before making a decision."

He added, "If the script is good, we'd love to work with you."

"This is a commercial blockbuster, it's better to be more cautious." Qi Wei nodded, and then replied: "The screenwriter of my company has finished the script, and I will give the script to you two as soon as I return to Beijing today." .”

Zhang Weiping nodded, and then asked: "This movie, if we cooperate, how much are you going to invest in this movie?"

Qi Wei glanced at Zhang Weiping, then at Lao Mouzi, looked at their curious and expectant eyes, and replied calmly:
"If Big Brother Long or Li Lianjie can be invited, no surprises, this will be a blockbuster film with an investment of over 5000 million, which is unprecedented, and I am willing to deal with an investment of up to [-] million."

As soon as Qi Wei said this, Erzhang and Zhang looked at each other in shock.

Even Zhang Ziyi in his arms trembled.

For a blockbuster movie with an investment of over [-] million yuan, if it wants to succeed, it needs the cooperation of all parties.

If you want others to spare no effort to help, you have to make this project their own project, and you have to accept various forms of investment from others.

Therefore, there cannot be only one investor, nor will there be only a few. There will often be dozens of investors or partners.

And with so many investors, the average family is only a few million, and often an investment of two to 3000 million is already considered high.

Originally, from Zhang Weiping's point of view, if a cooperation is really reached, he is going to invest 2000 million in this drama, and the rest will be ready to solicit investment everywhere.

And Qi Wei's willingness to invest 5000 million in this drama is indeed a big deal, and it can be seen that Qi Wei attaches great importance to this drama.

"With an investment of 5000 million, you are not afraid that your investment will be in vain and you will lose all your money?" Zhang Weiping asked after regaining his senses.

Lost everything?Of course Qi Wei is not afraid.

The best way to do film and television is to borrow chickens to lay eggs and use other people's money to make money for yourself.

This requires "clever name".

A commercial blockbuster with an investment of over [-] million, directed by a director like Lao Mouzi, this is the best "title".

It is easy to attract investment.

Boss Wu, the backer behind Qi Wei, has many rich friends. After Qi Wei made him a lot of money, many of his friends are willing to invest in Qi Wei.

It is not easy to attract investment.

If you really want to invest 5000 million, Qi Wei only needs to spend 2000 million at most, and the rest can be invested.

It is not impossible to even pull all the investment.

Of course, Qi Wei still understands the truth that "after the gentry invests money after the name is cleverly established, the common people will follow suit".

I still plan to invest some of my own money in this project.

After all, the "Hero" project is a money-making project.

Of course, Qi Wei's inner plan would not be stated clearly, so he said confidently: "The greater the risk, the higher the profit. Mr. Zhang wants to make a commercial blockbuster for Director Zhang. What he wants to play is such a gamble. Now that he has played Don't be afraid, I also believe that Director Zhang's ability will definitely make us make money."

"You are really confident." Zhang Weiping was temporarily overwhelmed by Qi Wei's boldness, he said with emotion.

Suddenly he thought of something and said: "My partner from Xiaobenzi came to Beijing. He planned to discuss with me the operation of "My Father and Mother" in Xiaobenzi. Don't you have a movie "Then People That Mountain That Dog wants to sell it, you can talk to him."

Being so concerned about his affairs, Qi Wei understood that this was Zhang Weiping's kindness to him.

"In the capital now?" Qi Wei asked.

"Yes." Zhang Weiping nodded.

"Then I can talk when I return to Beijing today." Qi Wei replied.

"No problem, I can arrange it for you."

As soon as Zhang Weiping finished speaking, he gave Lao Mouzi a look.

Lao Mouzi understood, and then said to Qi Wei: "I have a director friend, Li An, who is the director of the two films "The Wedding Banquet" and "Men and Women in Film and Television". I don't know if you have any impression."

Seeing Qi Wei nodded, Lao Mouzi went on to say: "He agrees with your views on martial arts blockbusters, and he is preparing to make a martial arts blockbuster, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". He has already started preparations and is working on it. Pulling investment, I don't know if you are interested."
