Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 322 There is a great talent in the acting department!

As Zhen Jiecheng shouted "Finish", the set instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

The content of the filming was so depressing and dark, and I finally felt relieved.

An indescribable sense of relaxation filled everyone's heart, and they began to dance around the smoke and arson as they watched the scenes of looting, smashing and burning unfold on the streets.

Well, this is very American!
"Congratulations, director. You have created a great piece of film and television art." The producer came forward enthusiastically.

Well, “great” again.

Golden State and Dallas are already full, it's time to start San Antonio and Denver High.

"You only call it a job title when you're working, and now, it's finished." Zhen Jiecheng reminded with a smile, "Bro, it's a pleasure to work with you, and congratulations on producing a pretty good work."

"No, no, no, Zhen, you shouldn't be so modest." The producer shook his head. "If Joker can only be considered 'ok', then among all the films and TV shows produced by Hollywood every year, how many can be considered up to standard?"

As a mascot who participated in the entire process, he witnessed the repeated polishing of every shot and the adjustment and arrangement of every detail.

The artistic level is overwhelming, which is ok, but the key is that we also see commercial elements that incite the audience's emotions.

As we all know, "incitement" is a good medicine that makes people unable to stop, especially suitable for the acquired medicine bodies of the lower class of Americans who have received a happy education.

As for American capital, as long as profits can be obtained, any process can be included in the business category.

If overthrowing the United States can allow the upper class to gain greater benefits, then "restoring order" and "bringing forth something new from the old" will become the general trend.

"Half of my pride has been used up before the project was launched. As for the remaining half, I plan to put it aside after everything is settled." Zhen Jiecheng lit a cigarette and took a puff. "So, for now, I can only be humble. The work is not completely finished yet, right?"

"That's right! Zhen, you're right!" The producer gave a thumbs up. "Next, I will go to China to witness the post-production of Joker. Don't worry, I still only brought a pair of eyes and was only responsible for watching. All the checks are up to you."

Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng's originally slightly wrinkled brows completely relaxed.

This was the first time that China Film Corporation was not brought in to support the collaboration, but the locals were still as polite as ever!
Very good. Next time I create something “original” to steal Hollywood’s wool, I will definitely come to you, Hua Na.

"bro~~~"

Zhen Jiecheng immediately offered the most sincere title and the warmest hug.

There are cheers here and celebrations over there.

Leonardo sat alone in a corner, talking on the phone.

However, the person he was talking to was not his girlfriend, a young model who was under 25 years old.

"Old Li, you introduced Jiahui to Little Lizi. If Jiecheng knew about this, it wouldn't be appropriate, right?" Ji Jianming said "worriedly" while grinning and waiting to watch the fun.

"What's inappropriate about that? Look at Little Li, how tortured he is. I call this a good deed. I'm finding him a fellow patient so that he can talk to his fellow sufferers and resolve his psychological problems." Li Pingbin curled his lips. "Besides, it was Jiahui who proposed this. What does it have to do with me, Li?"

"But." Cao Jiuping pouted in Leonardo's direction with a gloating look, "Listen to what these two are talking about on the phone! You know Jiecheng's mind. He even cares about a beast in the communication room of Beijing Film Academy."

Hearing this, Li Pingbin's expression finally froze slightly.

I could hear the clear and melodious voice of Little Leo, and vaguely heard Liang Jiahui's voice of solidarity against the enemy.

"Fuck Zhen!" ~ "Fuck Wang Sunglasses!"

"Fuck Zhen!" ~ "Fuck Wang Sunglasses!"

One sound followed another, occasionally mixed with "jiejiejie~", one after another.

"Lao Cao, Lao Ji, Lao Bao, the three of you testify for me! It was Jiahui who asked me for Xiao Li's number. I was just a middleman. What they talked about had nothing to do with me!"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" Bao Dexi took a sip of the tea made by his apprentice.

"No problem, I will testify for you." Cao Jiuping raised his eyebrows, "Although you used to be Wang Jiawei's exclusive agent and now you are Jiecheng's exclusive agent. But if two directors are scolded, what does it have to do with you, the photographer!"

"What Lao Cao said is right!" Ji Jianming nodded. "Although you were the one who said it, you didn't teach me the words 'fuck' and 'damn'. You didn't say them either."

"Ahem, Lao Li said so," Bao Dexi interrupted, "When we were filming Those Years, Lao Li was so awesome when he said Fake Jiecheng!"

Li Pingbin: 0.0
Set up the banquet and start the feast.

Domestic crews are drinking and toasting, and Hollywood is no exception. The only difference is that the white wine has been replaced by red wine, and all the glasses are high-heeled.

When the banquet was over, there was no need for Zhen Jiecheng to nag, as the producer tacitly pulled Leonardo aside and gave him careful instructions.

"There is an old Chinese saying, 'A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step.'"

"Leonardo, you've worked so hard for Joker, you don't want to miss out on it, right?"

The producer spoke sincerely and patiently.

“There is no doubt that you and Zhen have given this work the fragrance of art, but the reality is unfair!”

Spit,
"We all know why Heath Ledger died! But.he~tui, fuck! The damn publicity made his image taller! The bullshit lies were just to reap profits!"

"For this, they created so-called sentiments! They tainted art! They obliterated it."

"Ahem, well, the production and distribution of The Dark Knight was led by Warner Bros." Leonardo couldn't help it, interrupted and reminded, "The publicity was also done by Warner Bros."

"Yes, it was Huana who did it, but it wasn't me!" The producer was not embarrassed at all, and continued to speak in a loud voice, "Leonardo, there is a saying in China, there is no school of thought, there are all kinds of weird things."

"Although they are all from Warner Bros., what does the dirty work done by the Dark Knight project team have to do with our Joker project team?"

"Leonardo, we are in the same boat now. In Zhen's words, we are in the same gang."

"In life, there are many things that are beyond our control. In Zhen's words, there are only three things we want: fairness, fairness, and Madeleine Fake's fairness!"

"So, how do you want me to cooperate?" Leonardo rolled his eyes and asked.

"It's very simple. Others can make feelings, but we can't?"

"Fuck! You want me to die?" Leonardo's eyes widened.

"Of course not, half crazy is fine! It's better to stay half crazy until February next year, after the Oscars ceremony." The producer patted Leo on the shoulder and said, "This is not difficult for you at all, is it?"

"You just need to maintain... no! Just restrain yourself from your current state and smile more, that's all."

"As for the rest, leave it all to us Hua Na!"

The producer was talking a lot in Leo's room, and Zhen Jiecheng's room was equally lively.

Angelina came, and Angelina left again soon.

It was nothing. Yang Mi, Jing Tian, ​​and Guo Fan, the three of them were like rooted to the ground, not moving for a long time.

At this moment, it is just like the time when Sister Zhilin visited the crew of "The Secret of Jie Lun".

The only difference is that Zhen Jiecheng was busy installing the dampers in the houses. But now, as he is about to return to China, Zhen Jiecheng has to guard the granary tightly to avoid insufficient grain after returning.

But this did not prevent Zhen Jiecheng from giving Yang Mi and Jing Tian a vicious look. There was no doubt that the idea of ​​visiting must have come from the two of them, and the silly apprentice was just an honest tool who was being used.

"Teacher, isn't the camera language of your last scene a little too... emmm."

"Too anti-American?" Zhen Jiecheng took the initiative to respond.

"Ok!"

"Too damned good? Or the red kind?"

"Yeah!" Guo Fan nodded continuously.

"First, that's not anti-Americanism, that's humanistic concern for the lower classes of the United States!" Zhen Jiecheng explained, "It's not incitement, it's awakening!"

"So, there is no ulterior motive. I am just a friendly American who is showing due courtesy to the locals as a guest."

After a pause,
"Secondly, don't you think it's a little weird to use 'The Joker' as a hero?"

"It is indeed red, but it is not red blood, but scarlet blood." "The so-called 'awakening' is more of a riot, not a riot. Demonstrations are for revelry, not for expressing one's opinions."

“I captured it all in the long-lens group portrait! This is all human nature!”

"Now think about it again: a bunch of clowns worship a neurotic 'clown', and under the instigation of the 'clown', they put on clown masks and started looting and burning for free. Is this still life-saving? Is it still red? Is it still anti-American?"

Hearing this, Guo Fan's eyes widened.

"How can this be called resistance to oppression? They are just a bunch of clowns who are not presentable enough."

"Pa~" Zhen Jiecheng clapped his hands, "That's right, it's the clown!"

Raised his eyebrows,
“Isn’t it ‘Joker’ that I filmed?”

"Hiss~" Not only Guo Fan, Jing Tian and Yang Mi also took a breath of cold air.

"Senior, you are making fun of me!"

"What are you talking about! This is art!" Zhen Jiecheng raised his hand and slapped Jing Tian on the head.

"But senior, if you do this, will America let you go on the show?" Yang Mi asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it can be shown. You have to believe in the democracy of free America!" Zhen Jiecheng took out a Franklin, "Freedom is music, music is democracy. When music arrives, it can be shown!"

"In addition, I have prepared other means."

"For example, I shot clocks in many places in the film, and all the clock hands are the same: they all point to 11.11."

"I also shot a scene of Arthur in the infirmary of a mental hospital, which will reveal the suspense: that everything that happened afterwards was just a fantasy of Arthur's mental illness."

As he said this, he turned to look at Guo Fan.
"Remember, Beijing Film Academy directors are born to be accompanied by censorship!"

“No censorship, no Beijing Film Academy!”

"We have extensive experience in auditing and are the best directors in the world at dealing with audits!"

"And for review, it is not necessary to delete, sometimes you can add."

"Teacher, you mean that without this plot, we can use special effects to change the position of the hour hand, or even erase the clock directly. This is one story!" Guo Fan suddenly realized, "But with this plot, everything is just a daydream of a psychopath, which is another story. Wait! No, teacher, your shot must have left other suspense, suggesting that 'daydreaming' may become a metaphor for reality, achieving an ambiguous effect!"

"Yes! The camera showed Arthur walking out of the medical room. His feet were covered in blood, leaving a trail of red footprints on the white tiles in the corridor." Zhen Jiecheng praised.

"I understand, teacher!" Guo Fan nodded vigorously.

After thinking for a while, he added another sentence.

"I understand, teacher!"

"Brother, you're repeating yourself!" Jing Tian interrupted, "Your language is wrong!"

"Oh, yes!" Guo Fan smiled innocently and scratched his head, "Thank you Tiantian for reminding me."

In response, Zhen Jiecheng rolled his eyes and continued smoking and drinking tea.

Although Fengchu has a lot of clever tricks, he is still very smart.

Otherwise, why is there a distinction between inner sect and personal disciples?

Looking at Guo Fan, he immediately grasped the key point. He has already started to think about how to apply what he has learned to fight against photoelectricity.

Not bad! Very good!
Respect teachers and pass on the torch! The motto of Beijing Film Academy will be passed down from generation to generation among orthodox directors!

Except for that damn Lu Chuan!
Bidding farewell to the free air, Zhen Jiecheng led a large group of people and boarded the chartered plane prepared by Lu Zheng, flying directly from Xinxiang to Beijing.

Before he even landed, various calls had already been made to the office of the director of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy.

As the first film festival to award Zhen Jiecheng the Palme d'Or, Cannes tried to book him early on.

Mr. Mark Mueller kept calling him "old friend" and used all kinds of moral kidnapping. In particular, "Joker" is not only related to Hollywood, but also starred by the world's top star Leo, which is in line with Venice's reform direction. The director is the apprentice of Huaxia's close friend, which fits Mr. Zhu's preference. It is really a full buff!
But the most enthusiastic one is the Berlin Film Festival, nothing else! Zhen Jiecheng has been to the first two, and the only one missing is Berlin. Three without one, it's not suitable.

Your seniors have won several Golden Bears!
There is also Leonardo DiCaprio, who was also crowned the Best Actor at Berlin Film Festival.

With such a deep connection, why not come and visit?
The specific plot of "Joker" is unknown, but its dark tone and realistic subject matter involving riots have become an open secret.

When Bolin learned from Huana that everyone in Huana was shocked after seeing the first draft of the script, he had already been thinking about it.

The first draft is like this, what about the final draft?
It is well known in the circle that the directors of Beijing Film Academy are born to be wolves in sheep's clothing, and the content of their shots is often more than the story of the script.

Summary: Isn’t it time for the finished film to take off?

"Don't worry! I will definitely help you persuade Jie Cheng! We have been friends for many years, we are not strangers anymore!"

Director Tian patted his chest, making a loud thumping sound.

Even though he repeated the words many times, and each time to a different person, Director Tian was full of emotion and his voice was loud, and even his breathing was engraved with the words "trustworthy".

Finally, he hung up the phone and asked the bored Dean Zhang Huijun,
"What time is Jie Cheng's flight?"

"What a shitty flight! Jiecheng took a chartered plane!" Zhang Huijun rolled his eyes, then raised his hand to glance at his watch. "It will arrive around 2pm. He should have gotten off the plane by now."

"Then I'll call Jie Cheng now."

"Hey, Jiecheng will be here soon, why bother?"

"As for! Of course!" Director Tian said righteously, "When you are entrusted with a task, you must be loyal to the person who entrusted you with it. Since you have agreed to it, you must keep your word."

"dududu~"

"Hey, Jie Cheng. The three major European countries have come to me, hoping to use the back door. I have already told them, you can do it yourself."

"Hang up, we'll talk again when you come to school!"

"Shit! Are you so trustworthy?" Zhang Huijun couldn't help it and blurted out.

"What else?" Director Tian snorted. "You're still calling on the directors of Beijing Film Academy to take care of their alumni. The slogan of keeping the wealth within the family has been shouted for years. Didn't everyone agree to it readily and happily at the time?"

Wave your hands,
"Okay, if you have something to say, why are you here?"

"Don't play dumb with me. You must have something to bother me with, otherwise you wouldn't sit here for so long."

As fellow alumni of the class of 78, Director Tian and Zhang Huijun do not have a superior-subordinate relationship in private at all. At most, they just show some courtesy in public.

"Well, help me."

"What's the deal?"

"Actually, it wasn't my job. It was the acting department who asked me to make the connection."

"Acting Department?" Director Tian was stunned when he heard this. "Through the back door? Asking for favors? Asking for roles? That's not right. Jiecheng's project has been filmed, and Tiantian and Guofan's have also finished filming. There are no more resources!"

"I'm not asking for a role, I just want you and Jie Cheng to help guide me."

"Instruction? Someone from the acting department wants to transform into a director?" Director Tian thought about it for a moment and made a rough guess.

"Yes! He graduated from another university. In 02, he was admitted to the Department of Performance as a graduate student in film performance creation and theory. Later, he became the first graduate from our school to be admitted to Peking University to pursue a doctorate degree."

"I worked as a screenwriter and assistant director, and served as a judge for the college student representative group of the engineering film group held by the higher authorities two years ago."

"I also went to America as a visiting scholar last year."

"Wow~ This resume is pretty good! There is such a talent in the acting department?" Director Tian asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

"Bi Zhifei."
