Chapter 503 "The devil is coming"

Ye Chen didn't have anything to do in his hometown, so he began to think about what kind of film he could make to win the Universal Film Festival award with his current shooting level. Since he wants to win an award, he should win the award, so Ye Chen, It's very confusing now.

Now he has three more works in his hands, "Farewell My Concubine", which won the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival, because it involved some political reasons, so he did not participate in the local awards on the road, which is a great pity , and was even banned from acting, and it was played proudly later.

The other one is also a war product, but this is a movie that reflects the Anti-Japanese War period. The name is "The Devil Is Coming". This is different from "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Zhang Kaige. One is an actor and the other is a farmer. , From the point of view of expression, they are not on the same level, but they are all to express one's pursuit, but "The Devil is Coming" and "Farewell My Concubine" also have a negative impact, that is, it involves the historical topic of anti-Japanese, and Bad position.On the one hand, the film not only did not show the hatred and resistance of the Chinese people to the invaders against the background of the Anti-Japanese War, but instead highlighted and exaggerated its ignorance, numbness, and servility, which gave the film some negative aspects. influences.

However, in Ye Chen's view, although this movie has a negative aspect, it also reflects the difference between good and evil among the simple people at that time. This is a fact.

As for the other movie, it is Zhang Yimou's work and the film adaptation of Yu Hua's "Alive". Experience reflects the fate of a generation of Chinese people.

Although the two works "To Live" and "The Devil Is Coming" are far inferior to "Farewell My Concubine", they are generally good. At least these are the only three works that won awards at the Cannes Film Festival before 2000. Others The works didn't even have the chance to show their faces.

In the end, Ye Chen still decided to choose the movie "The Devil Is Coming", but Ye Chen planned to use metaphors to describe the sex scene at the beginning, otherwise it would be a thankless task if it was blocked.

Of course, when Ye Chen created this work, according to the current political factors and the experience of foreign awards, he cut some plots in the movie to a certain extent, and on the other hand, he added some foreign war movie factors into it. , making him a whole new movie.

On the one hand, it shows the duality of most people at that time, and on the other hand, it also shows the spirit of the people at that time who did not care about themselves for the victory of the War of Resistance.

Of course, in the end, Ma Dasan, Ye Chen kept him from dying, but changed the way of beheading to shooting, and he was shot in the body without dying, and was thrown into a mass grave. The experience awakened the enslaved people to rise up to resist, set up an anti-Japanese team, and finally became a real anti-Japanese force with the support and assistance of a party member.

After Ye Chen thought up the general plot, he was quite satisfied. In addition to his own understanding of movies, he also added a lot of narrative methods of foreign war movies, thus integrating a set of his own methods. It is not a piece of cake for a work that can win the jury award at the Cannes Film Festival to win the award at the Universal Film Festival.

When I have enough capital, it is not difficult to directly shoot "War and Peace" and want the highest award!
Ye Chen made a good decision, so when he was at home, he learned a lot about the situation from his old man, because he didn't know whether the people's reactions in the films directed by Jiang Wen were true,

Through the old man's understanding, I know that Jiang Wen's photographs were more in line with the situation at that time in that environment. Of course, there were many things that rose up and resisted.

Ye Chen stayed at home for three days, and one-third of the script was completed. The investment in this movie was a bit high. He sighed. He had no money, so he had to go to sponsorship. Director Jiang spent nearly 3000 yuan to shoot this movie. Wan, I have zero savings now, how can I make a movie!
"Looks like it's time to find the boss, come forward, and get some sponsorship for myself."

As for family matters, road construction, money payment, etc., Ye Chen doesn't think much about it now. Of course, he has not forgotten his roots. He will definitely do these things as long as he has spare money, but the current situation does not allow him. Do it now.

After Ye Chen left home, he didn't return to the capital right away, because he wanted to go back to the military area to see if he could join the military art troupe to participate in the sympathy performance.

After Ye Chen arrived at the military region, he happened to encounter Commander Xu inspecting the art troupe.

Ye Chen had no choice but to wait in Wang Xuefeng's office to find Wang Xuefeng after the inspection. There was no one in the office for a while, so Ye Chen just drank tea by himself.

About half an hour later, the door of the office was opened. Ye Chen just stood up, and when he saw the person coming, he was stunned again.

"Chief, why do you always come here?"

The person who came was none other than Xu Lao, the commander of the Licheng Military Region. He looked at Ye Chen and smiled and said, "Why? I, an old man, are not allowed to come and see you, but you are only allowed to come to the art troupe for inspection?"

Ye Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Reporting chief, Ye Chen, a soldier from the Drama Club of the Cultural Industry Troupe and now a student of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Art, came to the Cultural Industry Troupe to see if there is a condolence performance. I want to participate in the performance so that this winter is not too cold!"

"Let this winter not be too cold, you boy talk one way, you can talk to Xiao Wang later! But now I want to talk to you about some personal matters, you and my granddaughter and how far you have progressed Woolen cloth?"

Ye Chen didn't know how to answer. After all, he didn't know what Mr. Xu was thinking, so he said solemnly: "I, Ye Chen, swear to God, the girl and I kissed at most, or in front of everyone's eyes. There are no other further plans, and it is not enough for the head to express it clearly!"

As soon as Mr. Xu heard this, he had the idea of ​​wanting to fix Ye Chen, but if what Ye Chen said at the moment was true, then the kiss might have happened at the Spring Festival Gala, so Mr. Xu accepted him. temper.

"You boy, in the next few years, it depends on your performance. If your performance is not satisfactory to me, I don't need to talk about your marriage. You are easy to do it yourself, so I will say so much?"

After Xu Lao finished speaking, he left, and then Wang Xuefeng walked in and looked at Ye Chen.

"Xiaochen, come on!"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "It's time to work hard. By the way, leader, do you have any condolence performances during this time? I don't have anything to do during the winter vacation, so I want to go to the performance with the troops."

Wang Xuefeng shook his head and said, "I've been rehearsing for a while, and I don't have any assignments, but there might be ones when the Chinese New Year is approaching. It's just that if you want to go to the Spring Festival Gala, it may be too late."
