Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

"Run it! The filming of "Dad" was slowly getting better and better during the quarrels, and the progress was getting faster and faster. Jiang Wen was indeed capable. Together with Feng Xiaogang, he and Feng Xiaogang captured Li Changchun, a retired athlete who is purely stern but also has a sense of joy. The character is very vivid.

The cooperation of several actors has become more and more tacit, and Shanhe has become familiar with Zhang Ziyi and Li Bingbing.

Several people often chatted to pass the time in their free time.

"Shanhe, I heard that you are going to study in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy in the second half of the year. Why don't you come to China National Theater? We also have good directors. You see, Director Jiang is a graduate of China National Theater!" Zhang Ziyi started talking.

Shanhe took out two bags of melon seeds from his pocket and distributed them to Jiang Wen and Zhang Ziyi.

"I didn't think too much about it at first. Beijing Film Academy is famous for its directing department!"

Jiang Wen opened the package and poured some for each of the people. "It is said that Beijing Film Academy produces directors and Chinese dramas produce actors. Shanhe made the right choice. Beijing Film Academy has more opportunities for practice in the directing department. If you want to be a director, you will be able to work for a long time." It’s no use teaching in class!”

Shanhe nodded, deeply convinced!

"Director Jiang, how did you first think about becoming a director from being an actor?"

Jiang Wen cracked the melon seeds and replied casually: "I am born with many ideas and a short temper. After filming a few movies with several great directors, the ideas in my mind rushed out one by one. It happened that Wang Shuo finished writing his We were asked to review the new film "Animals" for review first, and I fell in love with it right away. It was perfect for me. At that time, I only had one idea: I must make it!"

"This movie is "Sunny Days"! Director Jiang became famous in one battle, and Xia Yu won the Venice Best Actor in his teens!" Li Bingbing took over the topic from the side.

Jiang Wen curled his lips and smiled, "This movie took more than a year to be shot. It went through several production stops and almost resulted in an abortion. The longest stop was more than two months. The producer returned to Hong Kong Island to make money. The investment has been replenished!”

Shanhe gave Jiang Wen a thumbs up, "Director Jiang, I've also watched "The Devils Are Coming". I personally think it's no worse than "Sunny Days". The part 'Big brother and sister-in-law have a happy New Year' made me laugh. I guess no one who has seen it will forget it!”

"Don't mention "The Devils Are Coming", bad luck! They haven't been able to touch the camera for five years!" Jiang Wen yelled with frustration.

"Haha!" Shanhe laughed, "I think Director Jiang Jiang has a lot of ideas, but Director Feng can't do anything to you either!"

"Making a movie must be a bit of a pursuit. I have a straightforward temper and speak out what I feel in my heart, otherwise I will panic!"

Shan He grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Jiang Wen's hand and changed the topic, "Director Jiang, do you have any plans to make commercial movies in the future? The country needs commercial movies to stabilize the market!"

Jiang Wen raised his head and looked at Shan He, "Why, you, a talented writer, want to make commercial movies in the future? I have to follow my heart when making movies. I can't do it if you ask me to get down!"

"I'm not that pretentious. I do think commercial films have great potential. You can't say that art films are high-end and commercial films are low-end!" Shanhe retorted.

"Haha, your ideas coincide with Lao Mouzi. He seems to be planning a commercial blockbuster recently. Your sentiments are too heavy. I can't afford it. It's good to be a ruffian!" Jiang Wen He responded with a smile.

Zhang Ziyi's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Director Jiang, what type of commercial blockbuster is Director Zhang's? Have you been invited to star in it?"

Jiang Wen stared at Zhang Ziyi and smiled, "Ziyi, haven't you received the news? You are a Mou girl. It seems to be a costume action movie, which is probably somewhat similar to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"! Lao Mouzi and I will be in the future I can’t stir the pot and eat, and he dislikes me very much, haha!”

"I have to ask Director Zhang if there is any role suitable for me. I will definitely have to help Director Zhang make the film. He is my mentor!" The ambition on Zhang Ziyi's face was clearly evident.

Li Bingbing looked at Zhang Ziyi complicatedly. She couldn't get this kind of opportunity!

Did "Hero" start planning so early? Shan He remembers that it was not released until the end of 2002! Is it because of my appearance that it's early?

Jiang Wen saw Shanhe staying aside, reached out and patted him and said: "After filming "Run! Dad", I will take you to meet Lao Mouzi. I think you can get along!"

"Really? That's good, Director Jiang, I'll remember it, don't let me go!"

"That's not possible. I, Jiang Wen, spit and spit. It's true that he dislikes me, but we are old friends and have a good relationship!"

More than ten days later, the middle school scenes were all completed, and the crew was divided into two groups. Feng Xiaogang took one group to the suburbs of Mentougou to film Li Changchun's growth experience. This scene was very small, and it was planned to be filmed in one or two days.

The other group moved to the Workers' Stadium. Several major scenes of the whole play were in the gymnasium, and the scenes and personnel had to be prepared in advance.

Shanhe followed Yu Dong back to the capital, and then he couldn't follow the crew.

The International Olympic Committee will hold a city exhibition for the 29th Olympic Games at its headquarters in Lausanne.

As an ambassador, Shanhe went with the group, and his task was not light.

The Beijing Olympic Bid Committee is busy preparing promotional materials, promotional videos, speeches, posters, etc.

Shanhe also helped. He was responsible for writing promotional materials and organizing the Beijing bid materials.

At work, he met Yang Lan, who was also an image ambassador.

As the host and spokesperson of the exhibition, her tasks are even more arduous.

"Hello Shanhe, I've wanted to get to know you for a long time and have always wanted to give you an exclusive interview!" Yang Lan greeted Shanhe generously.

"Hello, Teacher Yang Lan, I grew up watching "Zhengda Variety Show", and you have always been my role model!"

"Haha!" Yang Lan laughed at Shanhe's words, "Shanhe, are you reminding me that I am old? I am only in my early thirties, and we are all young people!"

Shanhe also laughed, "Then I'll call you Sister Yang. You look about the same age as me!"

Yang Lan's laughter became even louder, "Shanhe, I'm a little surprised that you are so easy-going in private. It's nice to call you Sister Yang. I feel like we can chat. I've been too busy recently. Sister Yang invites you to do it when you have time." This is an exclusive interview, let’s have a good chat!”

Shanhe nodded, "No problem, I'll leave you a phone number and you can contact me then!"

After the two exchanged phone numbers, they separated and got busy.

He Jining was very concerned about Shanhe. After learning that Shanhe had returned to the Beijing Olympics Bid Committee to help, he called Shanhe to the office before getting off work at noon.

"Shanhe is here, you sit down first, I'll finish what I'm doing!" He Jining greeted Shanhe when he walked into the office.

"You are busy with your business, let me take a look at the promotional posters!" Shanhe saw the promotional posters on the small conference table.

"Pour yourself some water!"

"okay!"

Shanhe saw himself in the promotional poster. Hey, the photo looks cool!

He Jining finished his work and looked up to see Shanhe proudly holding up his poster and thinking about something. He was amused by Shanhe's actions. At this moment, Shanhe looked like an eighteen-year-old boy!

"How's it going? The photo looks pretty cool!"

Upon hearing this, Shan He turned back to look at He Jining, looking at his teasing smile, he put down the poster with some embarrassment.

Shan He concealed a smile and said, "Director He, do you have a problem with me?"

"It's nothing important. I'm just asking about the situation of the movie. Besides, you have to do your part in overseas distribution!" He Jining walked from behind the desk to the coffee table. "Come sit here and we'll have dinner together later!"

Shan He sat across from He Jining and said, "Director He, the filming of "Run! Dad" is going well. The crew is on track. The pace will speed up in time to be released in June. I have contacted Disney about overseas distribution. They need to see the finished film before they can decide on a distribution plan!"

He Jining poured a glass of water for Shan He, "China Film President Han gave us a suggestion to exhibit at the Cannes Film Festival in May. What do you think?"

Shanhe was stunned for a moment, "Of course it would be great to go to the Cannes Film Festival! Does China Film have channels for this?"

"There should be. After all, we are just going to participate in the exhibition, not to judge awards. Didn't Jiang Wen just win an award at the Cannes Film Festival! The film he starred in should be popular in Cannes." He Jining responded, "Shanhe, as an Olympic The representatives from the application committee will go and communicate with China Film Group and ask them to come up with a plan, and I can also make a report to the superiors here."

"Okay! I'll be there in the afternoon!"

"There's nothing else to do. It's time to get off work. Let's go to the canteen!"

"Then I won't be polite!"

After the lunch break, before Shanhe could rush to China Film Academy, Yu Dong called.

"Shanhe, you know about participating in the Cannes exhibition, right?"

"I just found out this morning, and you didn't even bother to talk to me beforehand. I was planning to go to China Film Academy to find you in the afternoon!"

"This is not what I meant. I just found out about it. I don't even understand the rules of the Cannes Film Festival!"

"That's it, let's go to the crew to find Jiang Wen, he can help!"

When the two arrived at the Workers' Stadium, the crew was filming Li Xiaoxia's first participation in the National Games.

Jiang Wen stood next to Feng Xiaogang and stared at the shooting screen.

There were so many extras in this scene that they filled up a grandstand. They also needed to take a panoramic view, but there were no drones at this time.

Lifting equipment is used, which is one of the few big scenes in movies.

"All departments are preparing, the first time of the tenth game of the sports meeting, preparation, action!"

The entire venue turned into a real game.

"Stuck! Okay, this scene is over!"

As Feng Xiaogang's voice fell, the entire scene relaxed.

Shanhe and Yu Dong then walked over to greet Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang.

"Why are you guys here together? Aren't Shanhe going to Lausanne?" Feng Xiaogang asked.

"Don't you have something to ask Director Jiang?" Shanhe looked at Jiang Wen and said, "Director Jiang, you know the process of participating in the Cannes Film Festival! China Film and the Olympic Bid Committee are preparing to send the film to Cannes for exhibition!"

Jiang Wen smiled and nodded, "You really have to ask me for this matter. I am very familiar with Gilles Jacob, the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival. My wife's family is also in France, so participating in the exhibition is not a big problem. The main competition unit We definitely won’t be able to get into it, so you can try in non-competition units!”

"What are the specific requirements?" Yu Dong asked.

"The works that have not been released this year must be finished films of more than 60 minutes in early May. The quality cannot be too bad and they can pass the review of the jury. The key is that someone must recommend it." Jiang Wen replied.

"There is no problem with the time. We can keep up with the progress. Lao Jiang, do you have the qualifications to recommend? You just won the grand prize last year. Can you not give me face for the film you starred in!" Feng Xiaogang asked anxiously.

"Haha! Xiaogang must be anxious!" Jiang Wen said to Feng Xiaogang with a smile, "Who am I? France is my wife's house, and I am the son-in-law of France. I still have this bit of face!"

Jiang Wen paused and continued: "But it will cost a lot to promote in Cannes. It will be a film trading market at that time. There are too many movies. If you want good results, you have to spend money on booths and publicity. Of course If the quality of the film is good, the money can be earned back!”

"Don't worry about the cost. China Film will be included in the film investment. I have to write a report. We don't have much experience in participating in film festivals. Director Jiang, I have to trouble you this time!" Yu Dong responded.

"Can my help shorten the period of my ban?" Jiang Wen made a rude comment.

Ha ha…

Several people laughed.

"I can't answer you. It's probably quite difficult! China Film doesn't have the ability to make the review committee take back the announced results." Yu Dong replied with a smile.

Jiang Wen waved his hand, "I was just kidding, hurry up and finish filming. I don't think we can lose money on this movie. This kind of film is relatively rare in Cannes, and Shanhe is not an unknown person. I can also make an impact. Who knows?" I made all my money back!”
