Chapter 367 People have to do something challenging
"Hey, Rolls-Royce, has it been completely corrupted by capital?"
At Hong Kong Island Airport, Jiang Wen said jokingly as soon as he got in the car.
"Here, you get off the bus and turn left. There is a subway 100 meters away. The bus station is also next to it. Get off at Ocean Park Station and you'll be there in a few steps."
With that said, Qin Muchu flicked a few steel coins over.
Jiang Wen smiled and caught the steel coin:
"That's not okay, I can't let your trip go in vain."
"It's not in vain."
Qin Muchu shook his head and looked at Zhou Yun again:
"Sister Yun, isn't this going on?"
Zhou Yun has long been accustomed to the bickering between father and son. He doesn't care what they say and just looks at the interior of the car:
"Xiao Qin, is this car custom-made? It must cost 1000 million?"
"Absolutely. I don't know. This car was given as a gift."
Qin Muchu didn't know the exact price of this car, so he asked curiously:
"Sister Yun, do you know anything about cars?"
Not many girls know much about cars. Zhou Yun can tell at a glance that a car is custom-made and can estimate the price. It is probably very rare.
"My dad has a car similar to this one."
Zhou Yun replied.
Qin Muchu then remembered that Sister Yun was a second generation rich man.
My heart moved, what happened to the old baby who just said he was driving this car?
Smiling kindly at Jiang Wen, he prepared to remind Sister Yun, and then heard Zhou Yun ask again:
"Who is it? You are so generous and gifted a million-dollar luxury car. Rolls-Royce is asking you to endorse it?"
This guess is not unreasonable.
1000 million is not a small number, who would give such a generous gift?
Unless you endorse the brand, the brand will give it away.
Qin Muchu's eyes narrowed, which meant that he was in a "businessman" state.
These two families took advantage of him after all.
Of course, you have to show your attitude.
Maybe it was because he had refused Boss Yang's offer of a house before, but this time he changed it to a car.
The reason is also very "sufficient":
"The last time I saw you at the party, you were driving a BMW and you didn't even have a decent mobility scooter."
Qin Muchu did not refuse this time and accepted it.
Why don't you accept someone else's apology?
Not only did he accept the car that Xiang Jia had given him, he also accepted the safety lock that Boss Yang had given him.
The safety lock itself is nothing special, but Boss Yang said that specifically asking the White Dragon King to open it would bless the healthy growth of the child.
This greatly increases its value.
The White Dragon King is a Feng Shui master with a great reputation, especially in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, where many people regard him as a god.
It is no exaggeration to say that this safety lock, which has been blessed by the master, is a priceless treasure to them.
At least Zhou Huimin knew that the safety lock had been opened by the White Dragon King, and he was eager to offer it up.
"Apologize?"
Zhou Yun was a little confused at first, but soon understood.
There was a lot of commotion in the circle a few days ago. As the people closest to Qin Muchu, she and Jiang Wen naturally received many calls and inquiries.
Jiang Wen started to attack directly.
"If you make a Hong Kong movie and use a few Hong Kong stars as the protagonists, is that a move towards the Hong Kong circle? Weren't you the ones who co-wrote movies in earlier years and begged people from Hong Kong to be the protagonists?"
One sentence made people blush.
After 2000, there was indeed a trend in mainland movies to use Hong Kong and Bay Area actors as protagonists.
For example, Lao Mouzi's "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "The Golden Armor", and Chen Kaige's "The Promise" are all.
There's no way around it, it's popular and well-known.
If you use them as the protagonists, the box office is guaranteed.
Later, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors were left out in the cold. It actually started in 06, and it did have something to do with Qin Muchu.
"The Gift from Room [-]", "My Love from the Star", and "The Pursuit of Happyness" are a series of non-Hong Kong starring films, proving that mainland actors can also carry box office and ratings.
We no longer blindly believe in Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.
Of course, Qin Muchu's reasons only accounted for a small part. The main reason was the general trend - the mainland's film and television industry was developing rapidly.
"Then it's time to apologize and give them an advantage with just one car."
Jiang Wen suddenly spoke, his expression changing from his previous playful look.
"Is there anyone still holding on to you?"
Qin Muchu frowned slightly.
In the past few days, he has been thinking about how to subdue the "softness that is not soft" in the circle. It is already annoying enough. If there are still people in the circle who are unwilling to give in, he really has to start thinking about whether this "circle" is worth it. Stayed.
A circle that rests on its own laurels and only knows how to exclude dissidents is destined to not prosper for a long time.
His early acquaintance with Zhang Yimou made him set his sights on the entire Chinese film industry very early.
Jingquan wants to be the boss, no problem, he is also willing to contribute some of his strength.
But this "boss" cannot be obtained by suppressing other circles and making them weak.
In other words, what he wants to see is a group of heroes competing for hegemony, not a general among the short ones.
"It's not from our circle, it's from another circle..."
Seeing Jiang Wen touch his pocket, Qin Muchu knew that he was looking for cigarettes, so he handed the wooden box from the storage box in front.
Jiang Wen recognized what it was at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took it.
Opening the box, there was a row of cigars lying on the panel inside.
"Where did you get it?"
"It came with the car, five boxes, you can take them all with you when you return."
Qin Muchu lowered the window on the side of the back seat next to Jiang Wen and returned to the topic:
"We're not in the same circle? How can we still control me? Why does the circle extend its arms so far? Do you live in the Pacific Ocean?"
Jiang Wen was so beautiful that he lit the cigar and took a few puffs to test the smell. After hearing Qin Muchu's words, he said with some sarcasm:
"Chicken pen."
"Cough cough..."
Qin Muchu choked, but it wasn't because of the smell of cigar smoke.
This chicken should not be the kind of chicken that is sold, but the kind of chicken that is sold.
Just as his eyes became more and more strange, Zhou Yun slapped Jiang Wen and said to Qin Muchu:
"Don't listen to his nonsense. What a chicken pen. It's a socialite."
"Hey, what kind of ladies? Some of them are real ladies. Aren't they just high-end chickens?"
Jiang Wen snorted disdainfully and blew out a lot of smoke from his mouth.
This time Zhou Yun did not refute.
She had also attended one of their gatherings in the so-called "socialite circle" and originally thought it would be an exchange between a group of knowledgeable and meaningful women.
As a result, I came away disappointed and was even ashamed of having attended the party and never mentioned it again.
But even so, there is no need to offend others like chicken, chicken, chicken. After all, some of them do have quite a background.
And what she is going to say now involves one of them... No, it's one.
"You know about the Splashing Ink Gate, right?"
"Splashing Ink Gate?"
Qin Muchu was even more confused.
He knew about Pomo Sect.
It refers to the incident where several people splashed ink on a huge poster near Zhang Ziyi's home on December 12 last year, which then triggered a series of subsequent conflicts.
However, Qin Muchu was busy discussing the scripts of "The Hawthorn Tree" and "Love Letter" with Lao Mouzi at that time. Later, he was filming "Love Letter" in Harbin, so he didn't pay much attention to this matter.
I heard Bagua Mi say something intermittently, but not much. I vaguely remember that Zhang Ziyi seemed to be fighting with some famous lady.
But what does this have to do with him?
He didn’t eat much melon, right?At most, I drank a little leaked watermelon juice from Yang Mi’s mouth...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
No, he probably not only drank watermelon juice, but also ate some watermelon seeds.
There is Zhang Ziyi in "Love Letter"!
During the filming of "Love Letter", Zhang Ziyi came to visit the cast and also played a guest role as the apprentice of Mr. Ye Qiu, played by Qin Hao, who has a crush on her.
So, maybe... No, a famous lady was angry with him because of this matter?
Although he thought it was ridiculous, when Qin Muchu told his guess, he was recognized by Zhou Yun.
Speechless and somewhat puzzled at the same time:
"But not many people know about Zhang Ziyi's appearance in "Love Letter"? How did that famous lady know?"
After the production of "Love Letter" was completed, only a few people saw it in advance, and these people were sure that it would not be leaked.
"Zhang Ziyi posted on Weibo before, on the day you went to Huairou to attend some kind of launch ceremony and be interviewed.
Didn't you respond at that time when "Love Letter" would be released?Zhang Ziyi then posted on Weibo to help promote the movie and mentioned that she also participated in the movie. Didn't you watch it? "
"..."
Qin Muchu said nothing, and the confusion in his eyes gave Zhou Yun the answer.
He's thinking about something else now.
All recent troubles can be traced back to the opening ceremony of "Bu Bu Jing Xin".
Is this drama unknown?
Then we should continue filming this drama, and at the same time ban the Hong Kong male lead?
After all, the director of this play and many of the actors have known each other for a long time, so there is no reason for the "unknown" to come from them...
Just as he was thinking wildly, Zhou Yun continued:
"After Zhang Ziyi posted on Weibo, she followed that socialite to register for Weibo. She said sarcastically that she would not be able to read "Love Letter" if it was there."
At this time, Jiang Wen interrupted:
"Later, she also approached you, Sister Yun, and wanted you to delete Zhang Ziyi's scenes."
Qin Muchu was stunned:
"Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"You're like an idiot, why are you talking about this? I've eaten a fly, why should I give you a bite?"
Jiang Wen lowered the car window in a very poor manner and shook the cigarette ashes outside:
“Everyone knows what’s going on with her, just don’t mess with her, and there’s no need to coddle her.
This time, I heard some news in the circle, thought that an opportunity had come, and joined in. Someone happened to want to take advantage of Zhang Ziyi's resources, so I echoed. "
After understanding the whole story, Qin Muchu couldn't help but shook his head.
In the end of the relationship, the female stars compete for resources.Then I got a little curious:
"Who is her backer? Is there anyone in the circle who takes advantage of her power?"
Jiang Wen said his name softly.
Qin Muchu understood, with some emotion:
"Isn't that Zhang Ziyi finished?"
Even though Zhang is an international movie queen, her arm can't twist... Optimus Prime.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wen shook his head:
"No, Zhang Ziyi has also found a backer, so it won't be over. It will probably end in reconciliation."
"Who?"
Now Qin Muchu was really surprised that there was still someone who could touch that person.
Who can be the key to be Zhang Ziyi's backer?
"Old Zhao, Zhao Benshan."
"..."
Qin Muchu was surprised at first, but soon felt that this was indeed the most reasonable person.
After filming "Love Letter", Zhao Benshan invited him to a theater in Liaoning. The group photo hanging in one of the rooms gave him a new understanding of this "King of Sketch".
In short, Lao Zhao does have the ability to keep Zhang Ziyi.
"You and Zhao Benshan should keep a distance."
Jiang Wen suddenly spoke up to remind him, his expression rare and serious.
"I know."
Qin Muchu nodded solemnly.
In fact, even if Jiang Wen didn't say this, he knew it in his heart.
That was a beheading business, and as long as he wasn't crazy, he would never get involved.
Seeing this, Jiang Wen felt a little relieved.
What he fears most is that Qin Muchu is young and energetic, and he wants to give it a try whenever his brain gets hot.
This is not impossible, on the contrary, it is very possible.
You are young, you have money, and you have a reputation. Isn’t it obvious that you still want something?
So he continued to say seriously:
"Director Li, who values you, has a good background and is in charge of our field. You have even shown your face in front of the big leaders at the literary conference. As long as you don't be stupid, you will be the most respected no matter what happens in the future. , after all, our profession is indispensable for national propaganda.
But don't be fooled by Zhao Benshan. He was a desperado. Even though he was so prosperous now, everyone had to give him some face, but the collapse would happen in an instant. "
Qin Muchu felt warm in his heart at the old baby's earnest teachings and Sister Yun's concerned eyes next to him.
"Don't worry, I'm not that ambitious. It's enough for my child to become a rich second generation in the future."
When the child was mentioned, the atmosphere in the car suddenly relaxed, like a deflated rubber ball.
Jiang Wen stopped smoking cigars and leaned forward close to the driver's seat with a smile on his face:
"Really my daughter? Don't get the test wrong. Why don't you go back to Yanjing and take the test again?"
"Even if you go to the United States to take the test, you are still a daughter. You can't be wrong." Qin Muchu said with a smile.
When Jiang Wen heard this, he clapped his hands excitedly:
"My daughter is great. She is cute and caring. Unlike my son, who was nothing but skin when he was a child. When he grows up, he might still be a bastard who is angry with his father."
Qin Muchu glanced at Jiang Wen through the rearview mirror. He would be out of his mind if he couldn't hear such low-level accusations.
Just as he was about to retort, he heard a sneer.
"Haha, yes, Jiro is not as good as Ichiro, and his father doesn't like him."
Qin Muchu glanced at Zhou Yun, who was smiling very kindly in the rearview mirror, and swallowed his words, "Maybe he will be a much better director than his father when he grows up."
He glanced at the resentful Jiang Wen again.
Happy in my heart.
Damn, you should be punished for talking too much.
……
When Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun arrived, Zhou's mother naturally had to entertain them well as a woman.
She changed her usual frugality and went to the best restaurant in Hong Kong Island. She also specifically told Qin Muchu and Zhou Huimin that she would pay for the meal.
Perhaps because of Jiang's mother, Jiang Wen is full of admiration for strong women like Zhou's mother who raised their children alone and raised them to be excellent.
Therefore, the atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, but at the end, when Zhou Yun wanted to give Zhou Huimin a valuable bracelet, the two parties had a "dispute."
"No, no, it's too valuable, we can't accept it."
"Hey, eldest sister, listen to me. This is a custom. Family heirlooms are passed on to the daughter-in-law. If Huimin marries our old...Qin family, she still has to ask for it, unless you don't agree with this marriage..."
Finally, Jiang Wen came up with his trump card, and Zhou's mother had to let her daughter accept the gift.
Qin Muchu deduced from Zhou's mother's expression that she must be thinking about what gift to give him in return.
In the evening, Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun, who wanted to go out and stay in a hotel, returned to the flat floor together after Zhou's mother repeatedly persuaded them to stay.
Considering that Jiang Wen smokes (cigars), Qin Muchu specially arranged a room with a balcony.
After finishing everything on the quilt, he went back to his room to rest, but within 2 minutes, he returned to this room again.
Jiang Wen is smoking a cigar on the balcony. The main idea is that he takes a puff and the wind takes a puff.
Hearing the noise, he looked back;
"What? Can't bear to bear me?"
Qin Muchu walked over and pouted:
"Sister Yun is over there teaching pregnancy experience to Huimin."
Jiang Wen rolled his eyes.
This kid deliberately walked up to him and curled his lips, which shows that a son is indeed not as good as a daughter!
Seeing Jiang Wen's expression, Qin Muchu grinned, knowing that Jiang Wen understood.
This can be regarded as a small tacit understanding that only belongs to their father and son.
"How many heirlooms do you have? What should I do if you give me Ichiro and Jiro? And there is no guarantee that you and Sister Yun will have children in the future."
Qin Muchu said while sitting on the balcony guardrail.
Jiang Wen's expression suddenly became a little strange. He coughed twice and turned around:
"Don't worry, it's enough."
Qin Muchu realized something was wrong, and the emotion in his heart gradually faded away.
Put on the old baby’s shoulders:
"Then the heirloom is not fake, is it?"
"Nonsense! Can such a thing be false? Can I joke about it? Is it appropriate?"
Jiang Wen reacted fiercely and looked filled with indignation.
If others were really frightened, the more he acted like this in front of Qin Muchu, the more suspicious Qin Muchu became:
"you swear."
Jiang Wen raised three fingers without hesitation.
"Swear to the inspiration for the movie."
Jiang Wen quickly bent the three raised fingers into fists.
Qin Muchu gave Jiang Wen a roll of his eyes, and he guessed correctly.
"Stop holding it up, taking an oath is useless."
"Hey."
Jiang Wen put down his fist and said with a smile:
"It has been passed down since my generation, so why can't it be considered a family heirloom?"
Qin Muchu did not respond to this sentence, but just sighed:
"I'm very worried about Jiro's future education."
Jiang Wen directly blocked the ridicule in Qin Muchu's words and waved his hand:
"I educate myself, there is absolutely no problem."
Qin Muchu didn't want to continue this topic. He thought he could never catch up with Jiang Wen in terms of shamelessness, so he asked:
"When is the next movie going to be made?"
When talking about movies, Jiang Wen looked solemn:
"I haven't planned yet, I want to be quiet."
Qin Muchu smiled and did not ask who Jingjing was, but said:
"What? Have you experienced the feeling of a high-grossing film director like me being sought after all over the world?"
"fart!"
Jiang Wenyan's words are concise and concise.
But the puff of cigar that followed revealed the insincerity of his words.
The reason why he wanted to be quiet was partly like what Qin Muchu said.
"Bullet" finally closed with a box office of [-] million, setting a new record for Chinese-language films in the mainland.
The criticism and accusations received by "The Sun" were not only fully compensated at once, but even exceeded.
But in fact, "Sun" and "Bullet" are talking about the same thing, but they are expressed in different ways.
As steady as Jiang Wen, he couldn't help but think, "Forget it, or just make something that the audience likes to watch in the future."
The thought of this idea made him break into a cold sweat.
Because he started to want to cater to the audience.
Yes, Bullets was a success, both commercially and artistically.
It’s not pandering, because he likes it too.
But once you have this idea, you will inevitably cater to it again and again in the future. Can you still guarantee that all the films produced will be high-quality products like "Bullet"?
Of course, this was only part of the reason why he wanted to be quiet, there were more.
"I'm going to take the time to slowly polish the script like I did before."
Qin Muchu raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Wen teasingly:
"Don't you want me to write it?"
"do not want!"
Jiang Wen answered firmly.
This time "Bullet" was a big success, and he was very happy, but he didn't have the full sense of accomplishment he had before.
After thinking for a long time, I finally figured out the reason.
"Bullets" came so easily.
In the past, when he was making movies, he would have to write the script for at least several years, polishing the script and every line bit by bit.
But "Bullet" Qin Mu just threw the finished product there, and there was no room to change the key.
The sense of accomplishment was instantly reduced by more than half.
People always want to do something challenging, and he put this into the movie.
And what about Qin Muchu.
Jiang Wen looked at his "cheap son" next to him. He was almost completely different from the stupid Qing who had been chasing him for more than a week.
But he knew that this kid hadn't changed at his core.
Still so stubborn, so arrogant.
Because what this boy wants to challenge is not just movies...
