Magic Modified Huayu

Of course, it is also possible that they heard that Director Wei did not return, so they were waiting for Director Wei here.

At the celebration banquet last night, Director Wei greeted a lot of people and didn't chat with them the whole time.

It is normal that Brother Kaizi wants to talk more with Director Wei now.

That’s exactly what Feng said when Brother Kaizi came up.

"Director Wei, please don't send me scripts this year."

Brother Kaizi smiled and said, "I'm going to make my own movie this year."

The sky cleared up, the rain stopped, and Brother Kaizi felt that he was fine again.

Director Wei and Brother Kaizi have a tacit understanding of exchanging resources. Director Wei is responsible for providing resources to his son, while Brother Kaizi helps Director Wei shoot those scenes that require magic to defeat "technical factors."

The two consecutive dramas, "An Jia 2" and "Rebirth of the Pipeline", received very good responses.

After all, Brother Kaizi is a great director. You can question his aesthetics and whether he can keep up with the times, but his basic directing skills are absolutely impeccable.

Give him a big framework and let him shoot according to the script, and what he shoots may even be better than Director Wei's.

Therefore, Brother Kaizi's reputation has shown a trend of regaining lost ground in the past two years.

When things go well for a person, it is easy for him to become complacent.

Brother Kaizi obviously feels that his success is entirely due to his own talent and hard work.

So he prepared to make a big move.

"I've also filmed a TV series, which was really enjoyable, but I'm still planning on making a movie."

Looking at Brother Kaizi who was rubbing his hands in anticipation, Director Wei was silent for a moment, but still asked with concern: "Do you have a script?"

Brother Kaizi shook his head and said, "There's no finalized script yet, but the subject matter and idea have been finalized."

"What's the subject?"

"I have a deep affection for the 60s in our country. It is an era that cannot be erased. It is forever hidden in my heart and can even be said to be the emotional bond of my life.

So, I had to make a movie set in the 60s."

Director Wei was speechless.

He looked at his adopted nephew Chen Feiyu, his eyes clearly showing helplessness.

For a person born in the 00s, you can't expect him to have any feelings about the 60s.

He couldn't empathize with his father's feelings at all.

And...he himself felt that there was a high probability of failure.

But as long as the emperor is alive, the prince will just be the prince.

He could only look at Director Wei with pleading eyes.

I hope Uncle Wei can help him persuade his father.

Director Wei shrugged.

"Master Kai, let me ask you more specifically, is this story a commercial film or an art film?"

Brother Kaizi thought about it, then said seriously: "Let's be more literary. I'm better at this kind of thing."

Chen Feiyu's eyes became even weaker.

Director Wei was not surprised at all.

Dogs cannot change shit.

Brother Kaizi can't change his literary and artistic sentiments.

That's to be expected.

He also thought of his memories of the play starring Brother Kaizi in his previous life.

I didn’t think of it before because this drama was not broadcast.

But it has been promoted, so Director Wei shows some signs of being superficial.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Brother Kaizi's movie that has never been broadcast - "Flowers in the Dust".

The synopsis of the 2020 story is simple: The film tells the story of several teenagers who strive to be self-reliant and fight against fate during their growing years. They have experienced hardships and difficulties, and finally realized their self-worth and gained a deep understanding of life.

Since it is a teenager, the leading actor is naturally Kaizi’s biological son, Arthur.

This is nothing.

But Brother Kaizi also used a young actress from Taiwan to play the heroine.

This actress was later banned from Weibo for making inappropriate remarks.

However, Director Wei feels that the reason why this drama has not been released is probably not just because of this young actress from Taiwan.

It is difficult for literature from the 60s not to touch upon "technical factors".

Director Wei made "An Jia 2" and "The Pipeline of Rebirth". Although there were risks, most of them are stories about contemporary people and most of them use fantasy to make up for regrets.

Art film masters like Brother Kaizi never make up for the regrets of the audience.

It is to let the audience understand the era in which they lived.

To make the audience empathize with their feelings.

In order to make the audience also like scar literature.

Tsk.

Director Wei sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, Master Kai, what you're going to shoot is scar literature?"

Brother Kaizi nodded.

"There are factors in this regard. Some things cannot be forgotten and should be understood by today's audiences."

Director Wei expressed his respect: "Master Kai, you are right. I think the film you are going to shoot will definitely not lack investment, so I won't join in the fun."

Although Director Wei is not short of money, he definitely does not waste money.

It is better to donate the money to charity than to help Brother Kaizi realize his dream.

Obviously, at this point, Director Wei's attitude is clear.

Brother Kaizi was a little disappointed: "Director Wei, you don't think my new work is good?"

Director Wei said seriously, "Not really, I'm just at a low level and prefer commercial films.

I don’t have a strong desire to learn about stories set in the 60s, so I’m not interested in this kind of drama.”

Don't drag me along even if you want to die.

If the movie can’t be shown, just jump off the building.

I don't want to be taken advantage of.

Seeing that his nephew Feiyu had been looking at him with pleading eyes, Director Wei still showed some concern for his nephew: "Master Kai, are you going to use Feiyu in this movie?"

"of course."

Feelings are feelings.

To praise your son is to praise your son.

For Brother Kaizi, there is no conflict at all.

Even if he was given a political task by his superiors to make a revolutionary film, he still had to support his son.

From Brother Kaizi, Director Wei deeply felt a fact: Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and if I don’t have children and grandchildren, I will enjoy my own happiness!

Director Wei casually said, "Master Kai, why don't you ask Feiyu what he thinks? He's 18 years old this year and should have made his own choice."

Brother Kaizi looked at Chen Feiyu.

Chen Feiyu said weakly: "Dad, like Brother Jun, I am not very interested in the things of that era."

He is interested in making movies.

Making an art film set in the 60s... He wasn't interested at all.

If Director Wei hadn't spoken up for him, he wouldn't have dared to resist.

But Director Wei gave him a chance, and Chen Feiyu still weakly expressed his thoughts.

No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think this kind of movie would be a hit at the box office.

It would be better to shoot a few more TV series to gain popularity.

Brother Kaizi: “…”

He felt like he was being backstabbed.

He was still stabbed in the back by his own son.

Very sad.

"Feiyu, you are still young. Once you really read the script and understand the story of that era, you will like it and be moved by what happened in that era."

Chen Feiyu was speechless.

After all, the prince is the prince, and he dare not oppose his father too much.

He could only quietly pull his mother's sleeve.

When her son asked for help, Sister Hong of course had to step forward.

"Old Chen, since Feiyu isn't interested, just find someone else to take the photo."

Although Sister Hong doesn't understand art, she understands her husband.

If my husband makes a movie, it is highly likely that it will flop at the box office. It would be a surprise if it explodes at the box office.

But who could blame her for finding this husband after she and Ni Ping fought over him and it became known nationwide?

At this age, what's the point of getting a divorce? Just make do.

If Director Wei wasn't around, I'd just support his son.

There is no better choice anyway.

But now we have Director Wei.

Moreover, Director Wei clearly did not think highly of Brother Kaizi's new play.

Sister Hong didn't want her son to waste any time at all.

Director Wei has given Chen Feiyu resources, and Station A also has many dramas to be released.

Chen Feiyu can now get some low-cost online dramas relying on his own fame, and he does not necessarily need to go to an art film that is destined to fail to gain exposure.

After thinking this through, Sister Hong decisively sided with Director Wei and continued, "It just so happens that you and Feiyu are filming together. This could easily lead to the audience thinking that you, Old Chen, are just trying to flatter Feiyu and aren't taking the film seriously at all.

Without Feiyu, you can fully display your talents."

Brother Kaizi was convinced: "You are right, it is okay for Feiyu not to act.

I just think it's a pity. This drama will definitely have a very good reputation. If Feiyu plays it, it will definitely be a great gain for him. He will have his own masterpiece by then."

Director Wei: “…”

Sister Hong: "..."

Chen Feiyu: “…” Everyone was shocked by Brother Kaizi’s confidence.

But Brother Kaizi is still very confident.

I made the movie "Farewell My Concubine", which amazed everyone.

I tried my hand at it and the TV series I produced, "An Jia 2" and "The Pipeline of Rebirth", received rave reviews.

Isn’t it easy for me to make a small-budget art film from the 60s?

I have the advantage of my status, fame and reputation.

Brother Kaizi is full of enthusiasm and looks heroic.

Confident men are the most handsome.

He had already seen the admiration in Sister Hong's eyes.

as always.
