Chapter 474 Moving closer to Shanghai
Late at night.
The lights were on in the backyard, and a few trees were rustling softly in the cool breeze. An editor's cat slipped behind and lay in the corner, meowing anxiously.
Gong Xue had already cleaned the house, washed herself and lay on the bed. Li Guyi's song was playing on the recorder. This feeling was very strange. This was the first time she stayed alone in Lechunfang. The bed seemed to suddenly become... Very big.
"Again, I am a mother raising a child, and yet I am abandoned by a man! Do I have the face of a man who abandoned me???" "It's all my fault!"
Gong Xue finished reading the script of "Under the Bridge" and muttered some dissatisfaction.
?????
The story is not complicated: a female educated youth returned to the city and became a self-employed tailor. She met a young man who repaired cars and was also self-employed. The two had a good impression of each other, but the heroine had a problem. She was cheated by a man when she jumped in line and gave birth to a child. As a result, the man went abroad to marry his cousin.
She had no choice but to leave the child at her uncle's house in the countryside and visit her regularly.
Once her child was sick, she was heartbroken and decided to take the child back to the city. They encountered many rumors, but in the end they got together, and the male protagonist’s mother also accepted her. In the history of "Under the Bridge", she helped her After winning the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers award, he reached the pinnacle of his career.
But from her current point of view, it is indeed full of "old-style films with an old gay atmosphere". It's not that this film is not good, but that her standard has improved and it feels very old and cannot keep up with international development. She was in " I have played a mother twice in "Mom Love Me Again" and "Beautiful Life". I am not even married yet, so I have played a mother...
"It's all my fault!" she muttered again.
In the blink of an eye, the next day came and Wang Lingu came again. He was actually even more worried.
The Shanghai Film Studio wanted to make some love with Chen Qi, and they wanted to use Gong Xue as a breakthrough, so they had to get a movie. The Shanghai Film Studio had to pick and choose, but they really couldn't find one that could keep up with Chen Qi's pace, that is, "Under the Bridge" 》focuses on highlighting the heroine, so I gave it to Gong Xue. And this role is very suitable for her.
"Director Wang, please take a seat!"
"Okay, no need to bother..."
Wang Lingu took the tea from Gong Xue and immediately asked: "Have you read the script? How is it?"
"! "
She couldn't say that she didn't like the script, so she had to say: "This script is very good, but it's a pity that I have to go to the United States with a group in the summer and don't have time to star in it." Guide.
"The director of "Under the Bridge" is Bai Chen, the male protagonist is Guo Kaimin, and the equipment is top-notch in our factory. It will definitely be a masterpiece when it is produced. Please consider it again!" Wang Lingu said hurriedly. Report
"I know it will be a good work, but objective conditions do not allow it. I will be back at the end of July. The heroine is self-employed. If I want to play the role, I have to spend time experiencing life and figuring out the role. When can we start filming? Wait for the filming. It will be finished by the end of the year or even next year, and it will definitely delay the Shanghai Film Studio's filming plans."
"This is simple, we can adjust it!" "This..."
Gong Xue tasted it and suddenly came back to her senses and said, "Let me think about it, then?" "Of course, we are not in a hurry."
After Wang Lingu finished speaking, he simply stopped mentioning this and changed the topic to Shanghai. He said that Gong Xue was from Shanghai and that he would go back to his hometown to see her. After sitting for a while, he stood up and left. After he left, Gong Xue returned. Go to the backyard, take out a pen and paper and write a letter to Chen Qi.
In addition to explaining the matter, he also added some of his own opinions: "I personally think that "Under the Bridge" should be filmed or not, but I heard that the film industry needs to deepen reforms, and everyone at Beijing Film Studio is talking about it. We are communicating with colleagues in Beijing. Closely, Shanghai Film Studio has been rooted in Shanghai for decades, and its deep roots should not be underestimated. I hope you will consider this proactive show of goodwill.
If you need it, I will reply and accept this film. - I miss you, Snow."
The letter was sent to Hong Kong on April 1st.
Nowadays, people don’t celebrate April Fool’s Day very much. It seems that it was popular for a few years in the late 1990s. After Leslie Cheung committed suicide, April Fool’s Day became a memorial day. In the year when Chen Qichuan came, almost no one celebrated April Fool’s Day. .In the office, Chen Qi stood at the window and looked at the scenery.
People were running around downstairs, going in and out of the studio, and you could see Andy Lau and Zhong Chuhong from time to time. The studio today is much more lively than before.
Gong Xue said that Shanghai Film Studio took the initiative to show goodwill, and he agreed. It is the only commercial film company in mainland China. If all were converted into US dollars, its annual revenue would exceed 10 million U.S. dollars. No matter who is the best, they have to show goodwill. Then do you want to respond?
Of course!
The Shanghai Film Studio's status is on par with that of the Beijing Film Studio. It's so awesome that it's always a good idea to make friends.
And he thinks more. He can only show his talents without the support of his leaders. Wang Yang, Ding Qiao, and Zhu Muzhi are all his supporters, but speaking of it, the highest-ranking backer is Liao Gong. Liao Gong The man died before his eyes,
If Chen Qi wants to continue developing, he still needs to find someone. "It's okay to invest in Shanghai Film Studio!"
"As for "Under the Bridge"...
Chen Qi whispered, he had the same attitude as Gong Xue, they can film it or not, but since they want to respond to others, let's film it. The quality of "Under the Bridge" is pretty good in China, it can win awards, and it was also shortlisted for Venice. Film Festival. Anyway, the male protagonist is not Huang Ama. Huang Ama is still living as a third-level actor. I will get him to make a few more Hong Kong films in the future. Don’t miss the classic role of Cao Xiong, Erlang of the Golden Ring.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Mr. Chen, the gift is ready! Please take a look!"
At this time, a staff member came in with a big box. Chen Qi checked it and said, "Okay, send it over!"
"Uncle Zhan, there is a package for you!"
"Is there a package for me again? I've become the recipient!"
From GG Company, Huang Lu received another big package as expected.
Since Chen Qi invited him to sing last year, he has given him gifts every now and then. They are all local specialties from mainland China, but the two have never had a chance to meet. Huang Ting took the trouble and did the same this time. He opened them in a mess and took a look. But there was nothing inside. The specialty is several boxes of video tapes with labels that read: "83 Spring Festival Gala".
In addition, there was an invitation, inviting him to attend the media and film critic preview screening of "Life is Beautiful" in a few days. The most special thing was a super thick stack of newspapers, I don't know what it was.
""Life is Beautiful"?"
Huang Ting was very interested in this film and immediately decided to participate. Then he took the video tape and found a video recorder in the company, muttering: "What are you doing? The Spring Festival Gala, you come to bother me every day!" "Uncle Zhan, you What do you want to see?" The employee was curious.
"Come and enjoy mainland China's revolutionary propaganda videos!"
Huang Lu greeted everyone and sat down on the sofa carelessly. The employees were also interested and talked about it: "I remember seeing it when I was a child. It was a red booklet!" "Hey, is there that person? The video data?"
"No, the Hong Kong government wants to investigate. Wouldn't it be illegal if we look at it?" "So Hong Kong doesn't seem to be very free!"
"Stop talking nonsense and be quiet!"
After hearing this, Huang Ting felt inexplicably angry and scolded him.
As the TV turned on, the low-quality picture of the video tape era appeared before our eyes, and a big countdown clock came up. Several people shouted: "What the hell, just give me a clock when you come up, bad luck!" "Do you know the rules in mainland China?" ?」
