Chapter 341 The Lovely Director Kaige
Chapter 341 The Lovely Director Kaige
A courtyard house in Yanjing.
The two trees with red lanterns hanging at the door are extraordinarily festive, and the sandalwood tables and chairs in the inner wing room, with paper and ink calligraphy and paintings, are antique.
A fat man in his teens was lying on the long table and fiddling with photos. Looking carefully, all the photos were star actors, but they were all dressed in ancient costumes.
"I'm playing with makeup photos again. If you mess up, your father will have to discipline you again."
A round-faced, charming woman touched the little fat man's head from behind, and took the photo into her hands.
"Mom, this is beautiful!"
The little fat man held up the photo in his hand and smiled brightly.
The woman looked at the photo. It was a woman in a bright red robe and a light blue skirt, with long hair fluttering and a gorgeous face.
"This is Fan Shuishui, you can see it after joining the team in two months."
The woman took back the photo, pinched her son's face again suddenly, and asked:
"Who is more beautiful, Fan Shuishui or mother?"
The little fat man did not hesitate:
"Mom is beautiful, I will marry a woman like my mother as my wife in the future!"
These words immediately made the woman smile, both happy and a little funny, poked the little fat man on the head:
"I want to marry a wife at such a young age, you are a kid."
He put the photo on the table and tapped it, and the corners were aligned neatly:
"Okay, let's go outside and play, mom and dad have something to talk about."
After speaking, the woman walked into the inner workshop with the photo.
A man was working at his desk, and a pile of papers were scattered on the table and on the floor.
The woman is obviously used to this kind of situation, picked up a few pieces of paper that she couldn't hide from, and walked to the man with a glance:
"Kaige, don't you want these?"
Chen Kaige didn't speak, but his breath suddenly became heavy, like "hum" but didn't "hum".
Chen Hong noticed her husband's displeasure very sensitively, but she had expected it long ago, and she didn't pause in her words:
"These paintings are so good, I'll find a frame to frame them later."
Only then did Chen Kaige stop writing, looking at his wife who was full of admiration, the corners of his mouth rose slightly:
"Those are all failed products looking for feelings. How about you look at these?"
He stepped aside, turned from leaning on the desk with both hands to propping up with one hand, and raised the other hand.
And Chen Hong also naturally entered into Chen Kaige's arms, and Chen Kaige's raised hand fell down, just embracing her shoulders.
"This……"
Chen Hong held the paper in both hands, her gaze flickered up and down, her expression gradually changed from astonishment to amazement:
"These sub-shots are drawn so well that I seem to have seen a movie, but I can't understand many details."
Chen Kaige smiled even more, put his arms around Chen Hong's hand and patted her shoulder:
"It's okay if you don't understand, I will explain to you one by one."
"Ok!"
Chen Hong looked at Chen Kaige with twinkling eyes and nodded repeatedly.
This made Chen Kaige feel more at ease, filled with a certain sense of satisfaction in his heart, he turned sideways completely, facing Chen Hong:
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
Generally, when he is creating, he is not allowed to be disturbed by others.
Once the younger son came in and called him, he was punished to stand at the door and recite the family training for an hour.
It is his wife Chen Hong who can make the impatience in his heart disappear inexplicably, but Chen Hong will rarely touch him at this time, unless there are really important things related.
Seeing that Chen Kaige took the initiative to ask, Chen Hong said:
"Do you still remember Zhang Yimou becoming a photographer for Qin Muchu?"
The smile on Chen Kaige's face gradually disappeared, and he hummed lightly:
"The more the black face is alive, the more foolish it is. It's shameful enough to make a film like "Three Shots". Now he goes to work as a photographer for a junior."
"Yes."
Chen Hong echoed.
"Zhang black face" is what her husband called Zhang Yimou when he was filming "Yellow Earth", but whenever someone says "Yimou has a black face again", it means that there is something wrong with the filming.
It was not intended to be derogatory.
But not necessarily now.
And the reason, she can also think of it.
Zhang Yimou used to be her husband's photographer, and later became a director, which is quite a good story.
Say it out, "Zhang Yimou is so powerful, but he started as a photographer for Chen Kaige".
This is a "special achievement".
But now there is another person in China who has done it, and the gold content of this "special achievement" will naturally drop.
She disturbed her husband "against the wind" today because of this incident:
"Zhang Yimou and Qin Muchu were interviewed a few days ago, and you were mentioned in it."
Chen Kaige frowned:
"Oh? What did they say?"
Chen Hong knew that he would ask, so she prepared in advance, took out her mobile phone to play the Weibo interview video, and fast forwarded to the question about Chen Kaige.
The workplace fell into silence for a while, only the sound of the mobile phone.
1 minute, 2 minutes...
That interview is over.
Chen Kaige frowned.
I keep thinking about what Zhang Yimou said during the interview.
"This is talent, I have never heard of any director who can do this..."
So, I am one of the directors who can't do this?
"Brother Kai, the two of them are cooperating now, and they must praise each other. Exaggerating is actually normal."
Chen Hong saw that Chen Kaige's face was getting more and more ugly, so she said immediately.
She knew exactly what Chen Kaige was thinking.
"Well, I know that."
Chen Kaige accepted this reason, his face turned pale:
"He has also learned that way now, and he doesn't stick to his heart in art at all."
"You can't demand others by your own standards. How many people can do what you do?"
Chen Hong seemed to be accusing, but it made Chen Kaige smile again.
put down the phone:
"Let them make trouble, this young man is fine, take him with the black face, and after our group of people retires, there will be no movies to watch in the Celestial Dynasty."
Yes, Qin Muchu, who shined in both Berlin and Venice, is just a "not bad young man" in Chen Kaige's mouth.
In his heart, firstly, the qualifications of the two are there; secondly, he has won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, so he has the confidence to "look down" on Qin Muchu who has only walked through Berlin and Venice.
Although the "Big Three in Europe" are titles in parallel, there has always been a saying among the "Big Three" that "Cannes is the boss".
Just a simple fact, there are many directors in China who have won the highest awards in Venice and Berlin, but there is only one Palme d'Or.
Chen Kaige - "Farewell My Concubine"!
So when he commented on Qin Muchu in this way, he felt that he was overrated, and he was unwilling to comment on other directors.
"This young man is not bad, very good. Now the Internet is praising him for his dedication, humility, and he is the leader of the younger generation of directors."
Chen Hong knew that she shouldn't go along with her husband's praise of Qin Muchu, because it would cause her husband's displeasure as a "possessor", but she still said it.
In a sense, Chen Kaige is a very simple person, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make every move, emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy are thoroughly understood by her.
Since we got together, everything other than movies has been handed over to her to manage, including interpersonal communication, entertainment, interest exchange and so on.
In short, she is a foreigner.
So, unlike her husband who "kept his ears out of the window", she clearly knew her husband's "fall" over the years.
Times have changed, it is no longer the era when art films were king, and the era of commercial films has arrived.
What to watch for a commercial film, box office!
Who in the circle is sought after and loved, rich people!
"The Promise" and "Mei Lanfang" hit the market in succession. Chen Kaige's status is no longer what it used to be, and now it actually feels like "resting on his laurels".
But Qin Muchu is just the opposite.
In terms of box office, all these big directors in China are not enough for him.
What's more, he is not like Feng Datie. Although the movie makes money, it is also criticized, and he is not short of awards, that is, artistry.
With such a director, who wouldn't want to cooperate with him, share the meat, and become the second "ten billionaire" in the entertainment industry?
and so……
"Kaige, this young man has the opportunity to get close and cooperate with each other."
She very sincerely suggested.
But this made Chen Kaige's face completely dark.
Looking at Chen Hong, although he is over forty years old, he never worries about food, rice, oil, salt, and maintains it properly. Whether it is his figure or appearance, he can be called a "mature lady, but the charm is still there".
"Old husband and young wife" inevitably has some apprehensions, especially when the wife is lavishly complimenting another young man.
But he couldn't show it, otherwise it would appear that he was very small, so he held back his anger and said:
"Where do you see his dedication and humility?"
Chen Hong could see Chen Kaige's anger, but she still picked up her phone and clicked on Qin Muchu's Weibo post of "minus 33 degrees and they".
This microblog was highly praised by netizens, because it was obviously a response to the previous microblog secretly praising him and Zhang Yimou for their dedication, but he did not take credit for it and shined this light on everyone.
"Look, this is..."
After Chen Hong explained the ins and outs and expected her husband to let go of his pride a little, she was disappointed.
"This is dedication and humility? Isn't this what it should be? When it's snowing and you're wearing a padded jacket on a hot day, can this be brought out? Will directors be praised when they sit in front of the monitor in the future? "
Seeing Chen Kaige standing up suddenly, Chen Hong opened his mouth, but still lowered his head and said nothing.
Yes, it's really nothing.
But they didn't bring it up to say it, it was someone else who said it, and they just shared the praise with everyone in the crew.
Moreover, there is also the meaning of "everyone does this, it is not worth mentioning".
But she didn't make any excuses. Based on what she knew about Chen Kaige, Chen Kaige was just making excuses now, and the best way to deal with it was to be silent and put on a delicate appearance.
Sure enough, Chen Kaige still wanted to get angry, but when he saw Chen Hong lowering his head and looking weak, his heart softened.
Lifting Chen Hong's face, seeing her eye circles were red, she immediately lost her anger, and touched her cheek:
"Why are you still crying? My voice was a little louder just now..."
Chen Hong turned her head awkwardly, her voice was extremely aggrieved:
"Is your voice louder? I just see that I'm old and pale, and I'm not good enough for you as a great director. Yes, I know I'm not good enough for you..."
Before she finished speaking, she was held in Chen Kaige's arms.
"Don't say that in the future, you are the woman I love most in my life, Chen Kaige."
Chen Kaige felt a little guilty.
Yes, how could I think of Chen Hong so much?
She is completely intoxicated by her talent.
"You only focus on making movies, but you don't know how difficult things are outside of movies, such as attracting investment, socializing, and the changes in the industry over the past few years, do you understand?"
Chen Hong leaned on Chen Kaige's shoulder, both confiding and complaining.
And Chen Kaige didn't have the ability to think at this time, and said repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, my fault. I have worked hard for you these years."
"For example, Yang Mi, an ordinary little girl, was praised by the group of people in the circle just because she got close to Qin Muchu, so she almost confessed.
Every time I make an appointment to drink tea and go shopping, I invite her to go with her. The key point is that she hasn't been there a few times, so she flocks to her. "
Chen Hong said half-truth and half-falsely.
It is true that Yang Mi has not been to their gatherings a few times, but there are legitimate reasons, and various small gifts are given during the New Year and holidays, and greeting messages are sent.
Not the group hair kind.
Generous and caring.
This is one of the reasons why people invite her over and over again, even though she rarely attends parties.
But Chen Hong just doesn't like Yang Mi, even though she has received gifts and blessings.
She couldn't tell why.
"Yang Mi..."
It was the first time Chen Kaige heard this name, and frowned:
"If she offends you, then I..."
"No, she didn't offend me, it's just that she was a little proud of turning from a sparrow into a phoenix, and it wasn't because of Qin Muchu.
I think you cooperate with him, firstly, he is in the same circle, walk around more, and have many friends; secondly, as an elder, you are also supporting the younger generation, and you can't let Zhang Yi get this good name.
After all, he has mud legs, and his teaching skills are definitely not as good as those inherited from your family of directors. "
Chen Hong's words can be said to have exhausted Chen Kaige's excitement.
Especially the last sentence.
She knew that her husband, who was born as a literary child in the capital, had always looked down upon Chen Kaige, who was born as a "farmer".
As for such a "farmer" who can be as famous as himself, he has always had a grudge.
"it is good."
Sure enough, after speaking in another way, Chen Kaige agreed without any hesitation.
Chen Hong, who had achieved his goal, also showed a smile. Taking advantage of Chen Kaige's "state" now, he said another thing:
"In the interview, both Zhang Yimou and Qin Muchu said that they would no longer participate in the Golden Horse Awards. The next day, Ning Hao and Feng Datie also expressed their views, and then all other directors in our circle issued statements. Finally... the actors also expressed that they would not attend the Golden Horse Awards. .”
"what?"
Chen Kaige lost his composure for the first time.
The Golden Horse Award is regarded as the first prize in China, and now the Beijing circle does not participate?
Suddenly remembered something and said:
"Ge You, Wang Xuejin, Huang Daming, Fan Shuishui, Zhang Fengyi..."
"Except for Zhao Wenzhuo, all the well-known actors have expressed their opinions."
Chen Hong knew what Chen Kaige wanted to ask, so she rushed to answer it.
Chen Kaige had a bad expression.
Why ask these people's names?
Because they are all actors in the movie they are about to film!
"The Orphan of Zhao" is preparing to participate in the Golden Horse Awards...
"Let's make a statement too, we won't be participating in the Golden Horse Awards, um...don't say too much, let's leave some room."
After a long silence, Chen Kaige finally spoke.
After a pause, he explained:
"We're not good at getting along."
And the truth is...
None of the actors will go to the Golden Horse Awards, is it necessary for his director to walk the red carpet with a bunch of extras?
"Okay, then let's say that "The Orphan of Zhao" will not participate in the Golden Horse Awards."
Chen Hong smiled, this was her second purpose for looking for Chen Kaige.
As for Chen Kaige's forcible withdrawal of respect, she habitually ignored it.
This "group rejection" of the Golden Horse Award also made her feel a little bad.
They all refused. If you say that you haven't discussed this matter, who will believe it?
But they didn't receive the "meeting" notice...
"Okay, just send it like this."
Chen Kaige didn't think as deeply as his wife, but he was quite satisfied with his wife's actions.
Good wife!
"Then I'll send it."
Chen Hong is ready to operate the mobile phone.
There is no need to hold a press conference for this matter, just say it directly on Weibo, many celebrities do this.
"Wait." Chen Kaige interrupted suddenly.
Chen Hong felt relieved, thinking that her husband was about to change his mind.
"Take a picture of this, um, no, it's this one, this one is the best."
Chen Kaige flipped through the sub-shots, took out one, and spread it on the table.
He said to Chen Hong:
"Take a picture of this storyboard and post it on Weibo, and the copywriting will be written... Well, I spent several months holding candles, regardless of morning and evening, and worked hard on the storyboarding of movies. I will choose the clumsy ones, ask for criticism and judge them, and I will be able to improve."
After speaking, he thought about it again, and seemed very satisfied, looking at his wife:
"Did you remember it?"
"Forehead……"
Chen Hong resisted the corners of her mouth twitching,
"Remember..."
……
On the other hand, since the filming of Zhao Benshan and Liu Xiaoli's scenes that night, "Love Letter" has also entered the "meat scene" filming stage.
As the director and protagonist, Qin Muchu is very busy.
Especially because the emotional branch between Ye Qiu (Qiu Ye) and Nan Li (Bozi) was deleted, he had to increase the roles of several other characters to support the "missing plot".
Among the "other roles" is the male Li Muzhi played by him.
In addition, it is really cold to shoot autumn scenes in winter.
Especially when this winter is in Harbin, it is extremely cold!
Zhou Huimin was better. Her school uniform was long sleeves and a long skirt, and she wore "special warm clothes" where the clothes covered her.
The effect of this is that although she is also cold, she feels similar to being outside in a normal province.
As for Qin Muchu's school uniform, the top is a white short-sleeved shirt.
short sleeves!
And because boys have something less in the top half than women, it will be obvious if anything has been added to the inside of a well-fitting shirt when worn.
Including warm baby.
Therefore, Qin Muchu really only wore a white shirt on his upper body to film in the temperature of minus 20 degrees.
"Hurry up, hot water, quilts, the director is dying!"
As soon as Zhang Yimou yelled "card", Liu Xiqian immediately yelled.
But the face is not worried and anxious, but gloating.
Qin Muchu's body was trembling, and with the support of a group of people, he walked to Lao Mouzi's side.
Before he could ask, Lao Mouzi said:
"It's fine with me."
"That's ok, I, I, I will pass, take a look later, next."
Qin Muchu was so cold that his teeth were chattering.
During the few days of his acting, it was Lao Mouzi who helped him temporarily act as director.
This did save him a lot of trouble—the most important thing was to save him a few ng times.
Otherwise, he might really end up in Harbin.
"You should rest for a while." Zhou Huimin also walked over, eyes full of distress.
The small part of her ankle that was exposed outside was stinging from the cold, let alone Qin Muchu who was so lightly dressed.
"It's okay, just take your time, finish filming early and release early."
As Qin Muchu spoke, his eyes moved down slightly.
Because she was wearing thermal clothes and a warm baby on top, Zhou Huimin's size was already catching up with Yang Mi.
Unfortunately, this is a pad.
But... I will achieve my dream with my own hands!
Zhou Huimin noticed Qin Muchu's gaze, glared at him blushing, and turned away.
She knew what Qin Muchu was thinking.
This pervert even asked her to dress like this in the room for him to admire!
Seeing Zhou Huimin turn around, Qin Muchu also looked away.
You are stingy, you must work harder tonight to speed up the process of realizing your dreams.
"Qin Muchu, Qin Muchu!"
Suddenly, there was a shout from the side.
Qin Muchu looked at Liu Xiqian with disgust and impatience:
"Papa is here, Papa is here."
Liu Xiqian wrinkled her nose.
Why didn't you dare to say that when my mother didn't return to Yanjing?
Not thinking about it, she pointed to the phone:
"Weibo..."
Before Liu Xiqian finished speaking, Qin Muchu said:
"Who doesn't participate in the Golden Horse Awards?"
In the past few days, there were people in the circle who declared that they would no longer participate in the Golden Horse Awards. Sometimes there were dozens of people, and sometimes there were dozens of people. He was used to it.
It's just that I didn't expect that what I said in the interview that day would lead to such consequences.
Presumably the next Golden Horse Awards will be extremely deserted, right?
And the culprit of all this is him... the host who was interviewed that day.
No, it should be the netizens who asked this question and those who liked him.
The Internet is not a place outside the law, and when the time comes for the Golden Horse Awards, these little black people will be sued in court.
Anyway, Qin Muchu doesn't stick to the pan.
What bad thoughts can I have, I am just a young director in his 20s who believes in metaphysics.
"It's director Chen Kaige." Liu Xiqian said.
"Kaige is passionate." Zhang Yimou said with a smile.
Although he had a disagreement with Chen Kaige when he was filming "The Great Parade", he never cooperated again after that.
But I have a good impression of Chen Kaige.
When Qin Muchu heard the name, he was also stunned.
Because he and Director Chen are really unfamiliar, it seems that they haven't spoken a few words.
But now Chen Kaige does not participate in the Golden Horse Awards, but he has gathered all the directors in the mainland with a box office of over [-] million.
"He said "The Orphan of Zhao" will not participate in the Golden Horse Awards."
Liu Xiqian continued, handing the phone to Qin Muchu:
"He also posted a Weibo, you see."
"For some reason, "The Orphan of Zhao" did not participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards... for several months... to improve."
After reading the two Weibo posts, Qin Muchu looked at Lao Mouzi who was also watching.
Looking at each other, Lao Mouzi coughed and avoided his eyes:
"I'm going to set up the next seat."
And Qin Muchu watched these two Weibo repeatedly, and finally sighed:
"This director Kaige is really a little...cute."
