Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 21 Muah!
Movie tickets are not easy to buy.
It is only 02 and Zhang Weiping has already started pre-sale operations. In Jinling City, pre-sale started a month in advance.
Jiangcheng, as a famous city in China, is naturally no exception.

"Damn, we can only buy tickets for the midnight show! Can't we wait until we get back to the capital to watch it?"

"Midnight show? Great! Midnight show is good, I'll buy the midnight show!"

Hearing this, Ning Hao was not discouraged, but was delighted.
It feels like I haven't done my homework but the teacher happens to be busy, so I have to postpone handing it in.

"After watching a movie tonight, we can go have some barbecue and drink some wine, then go back and have a good sleep. Isn't that great?"

"What a joy!"

Zhen Jiecheng glared at Ning Hao fiercely and bought four tickets helplessly.

At today's per capita income level, movies are still a relatively "luxury" daily consumption for ordinary people.

Especially when Zhang Weiping raised the ticket price,

Just four tickets were enough to earn an average person several days' income.

So in the final analysis, the development of the film market by "Hero" was just a fuse, and the rise of China's economy was the real foundation.

"Okay, we've bought it! Why are you still standing there? Let's go back to the hotel first!"

Everyone in the crew had left, and now only Zhen Jiecheng, Cheng Hao, and Ning Hao and his wife were left.

It is said that hotels and cinemas are the main places for people to celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day.
Today, Zhen Jiecheng was clearly caught in both traps, but he had no choice but to temporarily give up his wetland habitat.

It was already afternoon when I sobered up, and now it was almost time for dinner.
After dinner, the two women were full of energy.

If this wasn't used for shopping, but was used to train the core strength of the waist and abdomen, wouldn't it take off on the spot?

Zhen Jiecheng and Ning Hao endured it with bitter faces, and finally waited until the ticket checking time at the cinema.

After being bombarded by dozens of advertisements, when Zhang Yimou's "Hero" officially began to unfold on the big screen, Zhen Jiecheng couldn't help but be alert even though he had seen it in his previous life.
Big scene! Big lineup!
Lao Mouzi's scheduling and camera movements are unique.
Especially in the areas of picture and color, which he is good at, his lens language is enough to be breathtaking!

"Black is the main color, which not only symbolizes the dignity of the Qin king, but also shows the cruelty of history."

"Director Zhang still has a special liking for the color red. It is easy for Director Zhang to use the color red to imply love, hate and vengeance in the plot."

"Yes! And the blue-green color used in the third narrative section shows that the King of Qin is thoughtful and meticulous, while also highlighting the chivalrous knight's detachment from the world and pure emotions."

Ning Hao smacked his lips. After watching the movie, he simply found a roadside flower bed and pulled Zhen Jiecheng to sit on the ground to discuss.

"Then there is the white narrative in the real dimension, and the concept of 'white space' in our traditional culture,"

"Director Zhang is amazing!"

"That's enough! Director Zhang is in the capital, he can't hear your flattery, and he doesn't need your praise!"

Zhen Jiecheng rolled his eyes.

"Come on, let's talk some real stuff,"

"As a commercial blockbuster, do you feel that Hero is missing something?"

hiss!
Ning Hao took a breath of cold air!
Almost what?
Is this something that small characters like us can talk about?

Finding faults with a famous director?
He’s our senior!
Inuiri has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and it seems that he is born to be a rebellious person!
"that."

"Stop talking about this and that. I'm right next to you, your wife. Cheng Hao! If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Wait, that's not right! Why do you have to make me say that?"

"I asked the question first!"

"I suspect you are setting a trap for me. Are you learning Deng Chao's trick of recording? Do you want to control me?"

"Shit! You're so poor, are you worthy of me controlling you?"

Zhen Jiecheng cursed and handed over a cigarette.

"The story line! I think it's a bit thin, what do you think?"

"Emm, a little bit!"

Seeing that Zhen Jiecheng opened his mouth first, Ning Hao did not hide anything anymore.
"The shots in Hero are impeccable. Compared with our Lifetime Events, it can't be said to be worlds apart, but at least it's on the same level,"

“But in terms of the storyline, even though our Life Events hasn’t been edited yet, I can guarantee that it’s much better than Heroes.”

"Of course, I also understand that it is unfair to compare Hero based on this point alone. But even if we expand it to the overall scope of commercial films, even compared with Director Zhang's previous art films, it is still a little bit lacking,"

"Nonsense! Why don't you check who wrote the original novel for Director Zhang's previous film?"

"Mo Yan, Yu Hua, Su Tong, a group of China's top modern writers, personally participated in the scriptwriting as the original authors."

"Can it be bad?"

This is not like the future. The adaptation depends entirely on the conscience of the creative team, and the original author serving as a screenwriter is just a mascot to attract traffic.

Even when facing a famous director like Lao Mouzi, the right of Mo Yan and others to make suggestions can basically be equated with the right to speak.
When Jiang Wen was filming Red Sorghum, he had an argument with Zhang Yimou because he wanted to change the lines and plot. Zhang Yimou remained silent, and the reason was probably not just because he couldn't win the argument.

Perhaps, silence can also be linked to disdain?

Change the lines, right?
Change the plot, right?
Do you know who decided it?
How can you, Jiang Wen, have the nerve to talk about art and depth with great writers?
"Well, that's the truth!"

Ning Hao nodded.
"So compared to the other configurations of Hero, the weak story line seems very inconsistent,"

"It's like, ummm, it's like"

"It's like Fan Bingbing's body with Feng Xiaogang's face!"

"What the hell is this metaphor?"

Ning Hao almost choked on the smoke, but he couldn't help imagining this scene.

then,

"Ugh~"

"Fuck you, don't retch next to me. Passersby can't see clearly in the middle of the night and might think I got you pregnant!"

"Fuck you uncle!"

Ning Hao couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up and took Xing Aina with him to leave.

Anyway, I've grabbed all the food and movie tickets I could get today.

The time has been delayed until late at night, so it is reasonable to avoid the fight!

Double happiness!

"Hero" is still going strong.
After three days of release, the box office record of 3800 million directly broke the ceiling of domestic films.
And push the ceiling higher and higher!
Some negative reviews were drowned in the wave of praise.

The astonishing figures have stimulated the bosses, directors, and actors of major companies, all of whom are furious.

Poet Chen couldn't bear to see his former photographer become popular again, so he mustered up his energy to make a big production, determined to reach the top in the field of commercial blockbusters.

The once high-profile Beijing Film Academy talent also returned to the capital in a low-key manner at this time.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling stressed?"

Cheng Hao leaned his head on Zhen Jiecheng's arm.

Gentle on the lips,

The hands are gentle,

"No, I feel very insecure when you hold me like this while sleeping."

“But I feel safe!”

Cheng Hao squinted his eyes happily.
"Don't worry, I won't pull you out."

"But what if?" "No what if, just be quiet and spread your legs."

Seeing this, Zhen Jiecheng had no other choice but to lie down and let him play with her.

"It's a lie to say there's no pressure!"

"Although I am very open-minded and even had a completely game-like attitude towards life at the beginning,"

“But when it comes to actual implementation, who can always maintain the original intention?”

After a pause,
"Recently: There are a lot of people on the crew. Although I paid them all the money they deserved, the hard work of so many people cannot be repaid with just that little money."

"Deng Chao is almost going insane. Teacher You and the others have lowered their status and given their full support."

“Only a movie with good enough performance can provide sufficient psychological feedback!”

"From afar: Lao Li and his men had gone to the leaders to make trouble for me."

"The acting offer I sent out was rejected. The other party didn't even bother to read the script, regardless of whether they were free or not. Although I was angry about it for a while, I did have the thought that I shouldn't look down on the poor young people."

"But I never thought that Lao Li heard the news from somewhere and called two of them directly to be weird. We used to be barely friends, but now we are broken up."

"So, I have to give face to the teachers like Lao Li!"

"I have to make Lao Li stand with his chest out and neck high, like a proud rooster, full of confidence!"

"Well, I believe you can do it!"

Cheng Hao comforted her softly.

"Don't be impatient, take your time,"

"There is still a long way to go. Even if this "Life Events" does not meet your expectations, we can still continue."

"Water does not compete for the lead, but for the continuous flow."

"Sister believes in you. Brother will get better and better. Awesome!"

A sudden exclamation,
The one in my hand has become wood.
The original soft and elastic feel disappeared instantly.
Looking at Zhen Jiecheng who looked lazy and motionless,

Cheng Hao shook his hand angrily and amusedly.
"uncle,"

"Where do you want your servant to use?"

"Change your name, this one won't work!"

"Brother~"

"I used it last time, it's not new, let's change it!"

"Bah! You just bully me!"

Cheng Hao spat, but finally obeyed with pampering.
"Uncle~"

hiss!
And he has to be a professional actor from a professional school!
Zhen Jiecheng understood instantly.

What's so funny?
What starry sky?
What honey escape?
Shit!

Now, this is called professionalism!

Professional matters should be left to professionals!

Unfortunately, the professionals accompanied my father back to his hometown after he was discharged from the hospital and he will not be back until after the New Year.
Zhen Jiecheng had no choice but to return to a life of starvation.

Fortunately, there are enough things to keep me busy and distract me.

The first thing to bear the brunt is editing!

In the editing room of Beijing Film Academy, there were not only Zhen Jiecheng and Ning Hao, but Lao Li also took great pains to bring in old masters from Beijing Film Studio to help his students.

"Hiss! Let's not reduce this, okay?"

"Hiss! How about we discuss and keep this part?"

"I'm going to go out and smoke a cigarette first!"

Cut the meat!
That was all a lot of hard work. I don’t know how many rolls of film I burned to take those photos!
This is just a preliminary cut!

Zhen Jiecheng couldn't stop feeling sad.
But as I said before, professional matters should be left to professionals.

What the director needs to do is to control the general direction, not to control everything.

After all, the authorities are confused.

Maybe it will be better, but it is more likely to be worse.

A good editor not only provides enough tolerance for the quality of the film, but can even raise its upper limit!
Watching the skilled operation of this master craftsman who has won many honors, Zhen Jiecheng was obedient and increasingly looking forward to forming his own team.
A bird in the hand is worth a hundred in the forest. You can't always ask the parents to send someone, right?
Don't be too naive in life!

The editing work is still going on, but Zhen Jiecheng is busy more than that.

For the music, Zhen Jiecheng once again contacted professional musicians through the connections of his ex-girlfriend's sister.
Not long after, Wang Feng, who had just released his fourth album and would become the future Wang Banbi, was invited to the coffee shop and sat in front of Zhen Jiecheng.
After a brief greeting, we got straight to the point.
"Teacher Wang, this is the music score. Please help me take a look at it first."

"OK, all right!"

Wang Feng took the music score and quickly immersed himself in it.

Looking at Wang Feng, who had just left No. 43 Baojia Street two years ago, Zhen Jiecheng lamented the fancy operations he would have to deal with in the future, but few people questioned his professional ability.

A true academic rock singer-songwriter.
And they are singing for real!
While leaving behind many car accident scenes, he never boasted about his efforts to hit the high notes of E6.

"Is this music score of yours a sample of a German folk song?"

Wang Feng finally raised his head.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng's face changed, and then quickly returned to normal.
The "Ah?" that was originally blurted out was replaced by:
"Yes! You are really knowledgeable!"

Smiling and giving a thumbs up,
"Teacher Wang, do you have time to help me write the lyrics, compose the music, and complete it? I'll use it as the theme song for the movie."

"If possible, I will let you know the lyrics requirements."

After the words were spoken, I felt relieved!
I am very glad that I did not introduce it in any extra way before, especially that I did not claim that it was my original work.

Otherwise it would be extremely embarrassing!

Shit! Damn it!

It's OK that "Reply 1998" plagiarized the Taiwanese drama "A Timeless Story".
You even copied the theme song?
It’s fine that you copied it, but you didn’t even notify me!

Dog in!
Go eat shit!
Zhen Jiecheng did not doubt the authenticity of Wang Feng's conclusion at all.
According to Xiba's character, "sampling" is probably just a euphemism by Wang Feng, and "plagiarism" is probably the real fact!

This near-loss made Zhen Jiecheng make a difficult decision immediately:

In the future, we must build a good screenwriter team.

Then I listed all the well-known Western TV dramas and movies that I only had a general impression of but couldn't remember the specific content, and gave them to the screenwriter team to fill in as an outline!

My Love from Another Planet, right?
The Heirs, right?
"Goblin", right?
"Descendants of the Sun", right?
Wait, this thing can’t be copied!

Damn it, the flag of the original team was displayed as a trophy in the Huaxia Museum,

How could a Chinese soldier be as cool and awesome as the protagonist?

There is no way to change it!
Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now.
wrong!

Am I stupid?

Why did I copy it and give it to a Chinese director to shoot in China?
A single leaf blocks the view, but the sun will appear when the clouds are cleared away!

At this moment, Zhen Jiecheng only wants to say to his lovely Korean friends:
Xiba guys, muah! (Refer to LOL top laner GimGoon)

　I will post today's 4,000-word chapter first, and then I will continue writing.

　　Dear gentlemen, please vote, invest, and read my book. It is very important for my new book. Otherwise, I can't even get through the test drive.
　　Please! Love you guys!
