Since 1983

Chapter 683

After the new century, Emperor Gong began to reduce production.

She may have nothing to do with herself, Teacher Xu is very sorry. One is getting older, leaving Zhang Guoshi a bit confused, and can't find a suitable role; the other is that I have reached the peak in China, and I don't want to go to Hollywood to be a vase.

So a bottleneck occurs.

Xu Fei is not too impressed with Fan Xiaopang and Li Lianhua, who are later generations who are devoted to the China Special Edition in Hollywood, or Da Tiantian's Chosen Daughter.

The rules of the game are clear. Hollywood does not need minorities, especially Asians, to be protagonists. Unless the subject matter is the same, Memoirs of a Geisha and Mulan, or learn from Michelle Yeoh, play a heroine.

In fact, it's very simple, just shoot if you have the right one, and don't beg for nothing if you don't.

Gong Li is also awkward now, Yishui's Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin, Zhou Yu's Train, Beautiful Mother, 2046...

Teacher Xu really likes to train her, ah bah, she likes to let her fully blossom. It was so easy to sign, and of course it has to be cultivated on the top of Chinese-language movies!

He prepared two films.

…………

On the night of the press conference, Zhang Guoshi asked him to have dinner and complained by the way.

You said you, why did you sign her too? How embarrassing! What do you want us to do, how to do it?

The speed of speech is unprecedentedly fast, really urgent. Xu Feile said: It's okay, it's okay, the company is responsible for all the schedules, and you two will never see each other.

Besides, she is a good actress, so I can't refuse because of this, can I?

Oh, you said this...

Zhang Guoshi shook his head and sighed: It's still not free and easy, maybe it will be a few years. I think she is normal, and she thinks I am the same.

Forget it, Not One Less is in the final stage, and I want to go to Venice to participate in the exhibition.

Why don't you go to Cannes?

Cannes doesn't like the style.

Yes, I sold this overseas copyright to Colombia.

I know, this company wants to develop into the Chinese film industry. In fact, it contacted me privately and wanted to invest in my next film.

What movie? Xu Fei pretended not to know.

Bao Shi's novel Remembrance tells about a rural teacher.

Well, you just prepare first, and leave the rest to me.

Zhang Guoshi scratched his head and was happy again. What he was most satisfied with was this, as long as he was in charge of the movie, he didn't have to worry about anything else.

The original book is about a rural teacher, and I'm adapting the script. It's basically a love story with a rural girl. It's hard for me to find an actor. They say you are the first choice...

It's too much love, why is it the first place, ouch...I'll find it for you tomorrow.

cough cough!

Zhang Guoshi coughed fiercely, is your mother really fake?

Xu Fei thought about it, tomorrow is indeed too scary, so let's talk about the day after tomorrow.

After eating, I went back to the Asian Games Village and walked in the door. I found two plastic benches in the living room and leftover dried fruit snacks on the coffee table.

Have guests? he wondered.

Hu Zehong (Xichun), Ji Yu (Miaoyu), and Shen Lin's family are here and just left.

Yo, I'm really starting to connect.

I also called Mr. Zhou Ling (screenwriter). It's not convenient to come back from Hong Kong. We have to have a little gathering when we come back.

I was talking about it during the Spring Festival, and now I have an appointment. Both of them are among the top richest women, their environments and attitudes have long been different, but they are very happy to meet old friends.

Zhang Li kept chattering, and said with a smile: You didn't see it, it was very lively just now. Hu Zehong has opened a restaurant, and recently wants to open an advertising company, and Shen Lin is going to have a baby...

Anyone else have news?

People in the capital know that Director Wang, whom Wu Xiaodong went to see yesterday, has retired and is playing at home.

Director Ren is going to retire too?

Almost, the filming of Water Margin is also finished. Well, he occupies three of the four great classics.

Xiao Xu seemed to have discovered a new world, and suddenly said: Hey, I read the news that Journey to the West is going to be a sequel. It is still directed by Yang Jie, and the actors are not clear.

Really? That would be great.

Zhang Li clapped her hands, just kidding! The six studies belong to the six studies, who doesn't like to read Journey to the West?

The three of them also warmed up, saying that when they were filming Red Mansions in the south of the Yangtze River, they were just catching up with Journey to the West to film the Kingdom of Daughters. The king is so beautiful, Barabara...

Xu Fei had watched the sequel of Journey to the West, and felt that the style of painting was wrong, so he decisively clicked on it.

how to say? The shooting conditions have been greatly improved, but the most important aesthetic level has been degraded.

Under those conditions, the makeup of the old version was quite natural. Wukong and Bajie in the sequel, oh, look at that face, it seems that the muscles are stiff after an injection.

There are also the shapes of demons, ghosts, gods and Bodhisattvas, and they are all about killing Matt.

The action design is the same as that of Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts movies, and it is also very ghostly. Don't be surprised, this is the responsibility of Cao Rong's team, the one in Journey to the West.

Not to mention the protracted plot, the abuse of special effects, and the use of Hong Kong and typhoon shots...

To put it simply, the old version's carefully carved high-end aesthetics, classical charm, and complementary soundtrack are all missing in the sequel.

...

While chatting, Xu Fei suddenly thought of something: By the way, I just spun off the publicity and distribution department and established a distribution company. I also want to slough off the performance department and set up a separate business.

You peel my skin layer by layer, what do you want to do?

Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily: Drive away all my subordinates, you are so good at occupying the magpie's nest and robbing my property!

Why are there so many dramas?

He was sore, and said: Establish a cultural communication company to hold and undertake various activities. The literary and art market still has a bright future.

Since you say that, you must have a plan. Zhang Li smiled.

Because I had a sudden idea just now. Seeing the intersection of the centuries, we can hold a concert of the four major masterpieces. It should be quite memorable.

Well, this is good!

Zhang Li readily agreed, and sighed: In fact, our wealth is already enough, and we should give back to others.

I think so too! Teacher Wang Liping, Teacher Gu Jianfen, Teacher Zhao Jiping, who is Journey to the West? Xiao Xu asked.

Xu Jingqing.

Speaking of the four great masterpieces, four groups of music have been handed down from generation to generation. The other three are all very good and have held their own concerts, except for Teacher Xu Jingqing.

When Journey to the West was over, he wanted to do it, but he didn't have the money.

It is bittersweet to say that the music of Journey to the West has been sung so widely, but it didn't get any copyright fees.

For example, when Zhu Bajie Carrying His Wife became a popular ringtone, it received a total of 8,000 yuan, and one of the websites only paid 2 yuan and 70 cents.

The most generous sum was Han Han's film The Future Will Never End who wanted to use Daughter's Love and gave 100,000 yuan. 50,000 was given to Xu Jingqing, and 50,000 was given to the lyricist Yang Jie—both of them were stunned.

It wasn't until 2016 that he relied on online crowdfunding to raise about 5 million yuan before holding a concert.

Xu Fei was talking about Journey to the West just now, when he suddenly thought of this, he helped out as much as he could. And Times Media's department is indeed going to develop, distribution, performance, the next one is TV program production.

A certain person has a hurdle this year, and he has been waiting to be included.
