Chapter 82
"happy!"

Guan Hu patted the table, stood up and filled Ding Cheng with wine, and said happily: "I like to make friends like you!"

The two looked at each other with a smile, and drank the wine in the glass. Now that the work was over, they sat down to eat and chat again.Ding Cheng is very curious about Guan Hu. As a director of the new generation, several works have unique styles, and the starting point is always unexpected.

"Since I took the photo of Lao Pao, many people think that I am from the capital, but in fact we are from Shandong." Guan Hu patted his chest and said, "If you want to talk about the serious old capital, you can only find it under the roots of the imperial city. There aren’t many from three generations of our ancestors.”

"After reading the book, I persuaded him that this kind of work that is too regional may not be bought by the audience." Xu Wenzheng interjected: "The northern atmosphere is too strong, how do you let the southern audience enter the plot?"

"I don't believe this evil, what's the difference?" Guan Hu retorted: "No matter how great the cultural differences between China and the West, wouldn't it be fun for us to watch Hollywood blockbusters?"

"To put it bluntly: It doesn't matter how many audiences there are, as long as it looks good or not."

"What kind of big data is popular now to analyze the box office? I don't care about that at all!"

"Everything that is special is an afterthought. If things like movies can be digitized, why do we need people? Just find a bunch of engineers to do data there."

"All kinds of capital are crazily involved, and all practitioners have all IP and all are efficient. What will our market movies become? No one will be engaged in the film itself. Next year, the year after, it's terrible. I can't believe this. thing."

Having said that, he raised his wine glass, took a sip, and looked helpless.Ding Cheng and Xu Wenzheng looked at each other, whether you agree or not, this is the general trend.

Everyone has only one principle: Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish.

Ding Cheng asked curiously: "So you photographed Lao Pao?"

"At that time, I handed the script to director Xiaogang, and he was really attracted. To be honest, he was actually afraid of acting, but after we chatted slowly, it was like saying that he didn't need to act anymore, which had nothing to do with acting. "

"The role of the sixth master is himself, and he is very familiar with him by fate. It's like talking about someone. If you like him, he also likes you. It's as simple as that."

"Don't you have any concerns about cooperating with him?" Ding Cheng asked, "What if there is a disagreement on the set?"

Guan Hu understood Ding Cheng's subtext, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no problem at all. I was also worried about this at the beginning. After all, he is a senior. But I am very lucky in this industry, and I can meet sensible people every time."

"Because there are too many people in the industry who don't understand, and there are more people who are anxious and utilitarian. What is a person who understands? It means that once he decides, he will be an actor honestly and enjoy it very much!"

"At the beginning, someone called the director, and we both turned around. After ten days, he never looked back. So whoever gets to the top is not lucky."

"It's not just him, there are also scenes of my own father in the movie. The old man is also an old actor. He has had ups and downs all his life. He is 93 this year."

"When I was very young, he was never around. In fact, the relationship was not particularly good. The old man liked to have a darker side. As the story-telling point of view in this play, father and son are indispensable. They are the link between the past and the bottom. As the old Paoer, he is the top one. Appearing, such a heterogeneous thing. Just taking advantage of this scene, I think he is the most suitable."

"One day at the scene, he didn't walk that fast. The camera had to be in place very quickly. No one dared to move him. I had to carry it on my back and ran to that place quickly."

"You also know that men, especially when they grow up, are even less likely to have physical contact between father and son, but this is special. When you remember it all at once, do you know how I feel?"

"Extremely light!" Guan Hu said emotionally: "I am 93 years old and very light. At that time, my heart suddenly softened. I also have children. When I was young, I thought my father was very tall and mighty. At that time, I thought I was really lucky. , I still have a chance to reconcile with my father before I die."

"Just like Xiaobo in our play, many people have no chance to settle their differences with their relatives when they are dying. I once read a saying: A boy can actually become a real man at his father's funeral."

"This is the story of two generations, two colliding with each other, two orders trampling or colliding with each other. It seems that they are killed for a trivial matter, but in fact the most important thing in their bones is a kind of inheritance, good things Must stay."

"Including when Xiaobo showed others the way at the end, he talked well. The way was pointed out, the way changed, and the things in his bones were passed down. To be reasonable, to do things logically, to be a man, to pay attention to rules, to understand etiquette, to be friends, to be loyal , Men must be bloody and compassionate.”

"Some movies make everyone happy after watching them. This is an entertainment function, and they are very exciting after watching. Another part I think is that the fun happens at the end of the movie. The lights are on, and I go home from the movie theater and start to think about it while lying in bed. "

"So in my life, I especially hope to be able to do something meaningful and leave something behind in the end."

Ding Cheng looked at Guan Hu with admiration, now in the circle where the box office is king, if he dares to say such a thing, he is a man!

After watching Lao Pao, I didn't quite understand many plots, especially why Master Liu had to die in the end?

During this period of contact, I gradually understood that the old saying goes that death is the most important thing. As long as the opponent is dead, everyone puts down their knives and guns, and the opponent wins instead.

Guan Hu was drunk, lit a cigar, and continued: "I lived in Mao'er Hutong in Houhai when I was a child. My elementary school was in Mao'er Hutong Elementary School, and my middle school was in No. 23 Gulou West Street. I went out to fight with my buddies after school. It’s a common thing.”

"At that time, anyone who didn't fight would feel embarrassed. Unfortunately, I was tall and skinny at that time and couldn't beat anyone. I basically just got beaten and kicked everywhere. I was fed up with it."

"The appearance of such a city, using the small people in the middle or the bottom as the theme, is actually telling a story about dignity. Now the most ordinary little people live without dignity. When they are trampled, the little people are many times beyond their lives To fight back with the strength of the people, this is something that is particularly commendable as a human being, and it is a particularly bloody thing.”

"Of course it's normal to get a few small fresh meats to attract traffic. It's impossible for people to fight against the market, right? These are not the most terrible things. My ambition is that the character Liu Ye can be remembered by everyone."

"In this year, I want to make a work that both the audience likes and I am satisfied with..."

"It's so fucking hard!"

"That's right!" Xu Wenzheng slapped the table, blushing and said: "Come on, let's go one more!"

The three of them drank two catties of liquor, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.Guan Hu leaned on the back of his chair, pointed to the script in front of Ding Cheng and said, "Our old man came from Yimeng Mountain. There were 102 people in the village next to him. In 1941, the Japanese army of the entire company surrounded and fought."

"The 102 people in the village started to dry them with potatoes. It's like the uncle is dead and the aunt continues. Every time the Japanese soldiers go around every time, you are bloody!"

"No matter how good you are now, the end of a hero is a kind of poignancy, because an era will eventually pass, and a new era will surely come."

"There is nothing to regret about the trend of the times. What I am obsessed with is whether the quality of people in that era can be passed down? The worst thing is that I am gradually becoming the person I least liked 20 years ago."

"Starting to have a house and a car, money is more and more important to me, and I am not as righteous as before. Then I am not so indomitable with girls, and my filial piety to my parents is also declining..."

"I always feel that something is wrong, but in the face of life, you can only lie down obediently, spread your legs, and serve you with a smile on your face..."

"Only in movies, as a director, you have the right to speak, and you can show the qualities that men should have for today's rapid development. Calm down, everyone, if it can be discussed and picked up, it is meaningful. Really want To be able to stay as a culture, I think it is a very virtuous thing, and this life is not in vain.”
