Since 1983

Gong Li was not very familiar with Xu Fei, but they were not strangers either.

Probably post a Moments, like each other, and patiently reply a few words.

She announced her marriage before the Chinese New Year to a tobacco merchant in Singapore who works in Hong Kong. It's super awesome, it's over as soon as it is said, without giving the outside world any foreshadowing and reaction.

I'm on my honeymoon, and I only came back because of your script...

Don't! I'm not a bad guy, and you haven't retired.

That's true, but I do want to take a break.

In a tavern in the capital, Emperor Gong came up to drink a glass of beer, and said with a smile: Speaking of which, we have known each other for a long time, and it is a pity that we have never worked together.

Isn't this a collaboration? Let me make a long story short. The director of this film is Chen Kexin, the producer and producer are me, and you and Zhang Manyu are the two protagonists.

Supervision?

Gong Li was taken aback. There is no such statement in the mainland. This is a type of work in Hong Kong and the West, with great power.

The producer will adjust his participation according to the overall situation.

For example, the director of A Chinese Ghost Story and Swordsman is Cheng Xiaodong, and the director of New Dragon Inn is Li Huimin. But when it comes to these films, no one says they are their works, they are all Tsui Hark's works.

Then there is The True Colors of a Hero, which was basically completed by Wu Yusen, and Mr. Xu only made some suggestions.

Gong Li looked subtle, as if she understood something, and asked, Where are the other actors? This is a group play, and the balance is hard to grasp.

Just say that you are afraid of being held back...

Xu Fei smiled and announced a few more names: Ge You, Jiang Wen, Liang Jiahui.

Hiss!

Gong Li's eyes widened. She has a high status in the mainland, but when she went to Hong Kong to develop, she was always inferior. If I can't get a good script, there are only Tang Bohu Spots the Autumn Fragrance and Tianshan Child Elder and so on.

Like Sweet Honey, the heroine is a mainland immigrant. Chen Kexin originally wanted to find Faye Wong, but later found Zhang Manyu, but never considered Gong Li.

why? Because she is not accepted by the Hong Kong audience, the audience would rather watch Faye Wong. Moreover, Hong Kong actresses are generally shorter, mainly male actors.

So she is very excited at the moment, Xu Fei can do it by using the top actors from the two places to set off the pair of heroines.

In fact, as early as Mr. Xu's conception, Gong Li was first delineated, with age, acting skills, and influence. Then follow her down, who can play against her?

It can only be Zhang Manyu. Pan Hong is okay if she is ten years younger, but she is a bit older now.

So Gong Li and Zhang Manyu were the first actors to be cast.

How about it, is it enough to arrange noodles?

Tsk, don't be happy, you are too revealing!

Okay, let's do one.

The two had a drink, and Xu Fei asked again, Which agency is your current agency?

Zedong.

Oh, the King of Sunglasses.

He paused, and said, I'm giving some advice as a friend. We're the same age, we've passed, and our mentality should change.

Some seek stability, while others seek broadness.

You must be the latter, maybe you are thinking of going to Hollywood, relying on the springboard of Hong Kong. But I'm not optimistic, let alone Hong Kong, including the whole of Asia, Cheng Long is the only one who can make a name for himself in Hollywood.

Their film industry and yishi form are very mature, mainly white and black, with minorities dotted, and Asians are the dots among the dots.

...

Gong Li pursed her lips, with an ugly expression on her face.

They only need two types, one is star-studded; the other is the so-called face that can represent oriental characteristics, with big cheeks and narrow eyes.

People don't need acting skills, and Chow Yun-fat is just a supporting role. In the past, you couldn't even be a supporting role, at most you were a vase.

So your current route is a bit biased, Hong Kong itself can’t squeeze in, you are still in Hong Kong, and Zedong is not a good brokerage company.

Hmph! You mean to sign with your company?

No, no, you won't be given a role even if you sign the contract. It's a pity that you have such qualifications to act in small films. You are born to make blockbuster films... Ah no, that's called high-quality goods, and you are born to make high-quality goods.

I just hope that you will seriously consider my words. It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it now, we will talk again in a year or two.

Xu Fei poured another drink, Come on, let's have another drink for the first cooperation.

…………

City Propaganda Department, Office.

The room was shrouded in clouds and mist, fluttering like a rising fairy. Li Mu was smoking a cigarette, flipping through a report material, unknowingly burned it in his hand, and hurriedly twisted it in the ashtray.

Then he picked up another one, and Xu Fei lit it, wondering, Why are you still addicted to cigarettes?

It's stressful.

Li Mu let out a breath, put down the materials and said: This time, you have to clarify the main body, from the perspective of the Hong Kong company.

How to go to the motherland with a red heart and do our best for the great cause of return. I want to make a gift film that praises the martyrs and promotes patriotism.

You actively contacted, took the initiative to strive for, and finally negotiated a cooperation intention. However, the funds are limited, so I applied for government subsidies...

High, really high!

Xu Fei gave a thumbs up.

Stop flattering!

Li Mu shook his head and got up, I'll send it right away.

Wait a minute, I have something else to do.

Teacher Xu closed the door, lowered his voice, and said, Didn't I do business in Rongcheng before? I know a little about the new one, and he has great potential.

oh?

Very potential.

...

Li Mu paused and understood, Okay, I'll send it over right now.

After Xu Fei left, he ran to another office and said, Old Zhang, are you busy?

Rare guest, sit down.

Don't sit down, here is an application material, if you have time, take a look.

Okay, I happen to be free.

Thank you, let's drink tea another day.

...

radio and television.

Leader Tian kept a low profile after half-retiring, and deliberately avoided those who were acquainted with him before, so as not to cause trouble.

At the moment, there are a bunch of people sitting in the lounge, all of whom have come to apply for subsidies. Among them were Xu Fei and Han Sanping, and Han Sanping was holding two documents.

One is subsidized for the film, and the other is subsidized for Beijing Film Studio.

The big leader said that three major factories should be built to play the role of the main force. How to build without money?

Can the city approve it?

Ninety percent.

Well, it's easy to handle the approval in the city, and all the funds can come down, 10 million is no problem.

What about the big movie?

It's not very good. They are all for Founding Ceremony and Fighting Battle. This is a small topic for us.

The two of them were chatting, and someone beside them couldn't bear it, and came over to say hello: Director Han, Mr. Xu, hello, both of you!

you are?

I'm from xx studio.

16 studios that have the right to shoot feature films, and another 13 provincial and municipal studios have also been able to shoot films since last year. This person is a representative of a provincial factory.

Hi, hello, are you here on business?

It's okay. The central government wants to promote the main theme. Although we have no experience in shooting feature films, we still have to respond to the call! By the way, I brought the script and asked two experts to give pointers.

They were idle anyway, so the two took a look.

The film tells the story of Zhao Guangming, a small town policeman who has been a police officer for more than 20 years.

It shows the spirit of selfless dedication, integrity and honesty of the public security officers, and conveys patriotism, dedication, and positive energy to the society...

About a thousand words, Xu Fei looked at the back, gone?

Gone!

Is this the main theme?

Calculate.

Can I get a subsidy then?

able.

That's great!

The man happily went back to his seat.

Xu Fei and Han Sanping looked at each other, this girl is a cheater of subsidies!

The world is getting worse! Do you think I would say that? I won't say that...

Teacher Xu despised this kind of cheating, and after waiting for his turn, Kaka went in and chatted eloquently:

The film tells the story of those unsung heroes who sought light in the dark to create hope and a future.

It shows the fearless spirit of the revolutionary martyrs who are not afraid of life and death, stick to the belief of communism, and fight tenaciously with the puppet army and the Japanese...

blah blah.

(Happy 520! No more!)
