Chapter 180 Returning Home for the New Year, Xiao Wu and Yuan Yuan Call Him Dad

In the era of grass and grass, there is grass and grass, and grass and grass.

Under the film quota system, Zhang Yuan, a young domestic film-loving young man, found an underground film production path.

To put it simply, you don’t find a film studio or go to theaters. You raise your own funds to participate in foreign film festivals and make money by selling film copyrights and film bonuses.

Zhang Yuan returned to China, and the young man who inherited his legacy was named Jia Zhangke.

Jia Zhangke leads underground films and continues to explore the way forward

Han Sanping took office at the Peking Film Studio, contacted the sixth generation director, and came out again in 1997. It was also called the "1998-1999 Youth Film Project."

But the effect is not satisfactory.

By 2003, the mainstream film industry recruited underground directors for a meeting at the Peking Film Academy.

But the works of sixth-generation directors blindly cater to Western aesthetics in order to win awards.

It’s not surprising if it’s sealed.

Xu Chen does not support or sympathize with the titled Douluo. He didn't understand, but he didn't hate Titled Douluo.

Compared to a philistine businessman like Zhang Weiping, the titled Douluo, who is pious, passionate, and unswervingly devoted to movies, looks cute in his eyes.

People of the same species flock together, and things are divided into groups. What Xu Chen did is equally shocking!

…………

The late spring cold engulfs the northern land, and the city of Beiping is as quiet as a virgin under the raging snow haze.

7:30 pm, Dabaotai, Huaxiang, FT District.

In 2022, this damn place is a serious urban-rural fringe.

In 1998, this ghost place was not to mention the urban-rural fringe. As far as the eye could see, there were criss-crossed farmlands and low private houses hidden in the heavy snow.

Xu Chen looked up and saw not a single ghost on the road.

Comrade Xiao Gao put on the ugly khaki woolen gloves. Xu Chen cursed: "This grandson Lou Ye's life is so miserable."

He opened his windbreaker and held the little girl in his arms. He opened the zipper and revealed a fluffy little girl from his bloated belly. He raised his head and smiled with big white teeth: "Comrade Xiao Xu, you are pregnant. You have a baby." I."

Xu Chen got interested, lowered his head and nuzzled the tip of the little girl's nose, asking, "I got pregnant and gave birth to you, what do you want to call me?"

Gao Yuanyuan's nose nuzzled, and she chuckled: "Call mom."

"But my boy, what's his name?" Xu Chen smiled with a smile on his lips.

"Call..." Gao Yuanyuan stood close to Xu Chen, stood on tiptoes, and came close to Xu Chen's ear. Her eyelashes fluttered shyly, she pursed her lips and called softly: "Dad~"

"Cool!"

No one can refuse to call his fluffy, soft, sweet and lovely girlfriend daddy. Xu Chen also couldn't. He lowered his head and kissed Gao Yuanyuan on the lips and said softly: "You are so good."

The little girl rubbed her head and breathed hotly: "I'll give you a baby from now on. I'll call you daddy every day and I'll annoy you to death."

"Xu Chen!"

In the farmland, a figure hunched over, with his hands folded in his sleeves, raised his head and shouted in a thin voice: "It's Xu Chen, Brother Chen, I'm Zhang Yuan, Brother Chen, this road is not easy to walk." ,Who is this……"

"Hello Mr. Zhang!"

"Brother Chen, just call me Lao Zhang. Mr. Zhang is too outsider." Zhang Yuan rubbed his hands. He was from Jiangcheng, short and thin.

It sticks in the field like a telephone pole.

"This is my girlfriend Gao Yuanyuan, just call me Yuanyuan." Xu Chen pouted on his back.

The little girl jumped up, threw herself on Xu Chen's back, and put her arms around Xu Chen.

"Sister-in-law." Zhang Yuan breathed hotly.

"Hello, Brother Zhang." Gao Yuanyuan smiled like the moon and had a good attitude towards Zhang Yuan. After all, her sister-in-law is so nice.

There is a small town at the end of the field.

After twisting and turning, we arrived at a rental building with low sides, wires like spider webs, and clanging iron stairs.

Xu Chen wanted to complain, what a damn Titled Douluo, the accommodation environment was like that of a fugitive.

"Brother Chen, haha, the conditions are simple, please forgive me."

Zhang Yuankou buckled his scalp and bared his teeth: "People like us don't care about the environment. As long as the movie is on and there is a place to lie down, this house is rented by a small businessman. We have been watching movies these days."

"It's okay." Xu Chen said without being pretentious.

When I opened the door, a burst of hot air hit my face, and there was a strong smell of hot pot in the air.

Under a dim yellow light, there were a few oddly shaped and colorful gourd dolls sitting there. They all turned their heads and recognized the person. In an instant, Wu Yangyang stood up and smiled.

"Brother Chen, Miss Gao is here too, please come in." Lou Ye put out the cigarette.

Several people were talking about Xu Chen, when Xu Chen came, walked up to them, pointed to a few people and introduced: "Brother Chen, this young man's name is Jia Zhangke, he is good at long shots in movies, oh, he hasn't made a movie yet. "

"This is Wang Xiaoshuai. Xiaoshuai is awesome. He is different from us." Lou Ye said in a circle, except for a few sixth-generation directors like them.

The rest are all photography, such as Yu Liwei, Wang Yu, and art artist Liang Jingdong, they are all film talents!

honestly,

Xu Chen not only wants to meet the sixth generation directors, but also wants to recruit these talents!

Time Pictures will make movies sooner or later. I wonder if there are any employees in China who are cheaper, more durable, and more confident than the sixth-generation director crew!

Damn it, these people make movies for free!

"Brother Chen!"

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

They all have different grades, different accents, some are shy, some are enthusiastic, but they all welcome Xu Chen. After all, Xu Chen came not far away from 20 kilometers away, so it’s a great honor to not be disgusted!

Moreover, Xu Chen's movie "Love Malatang" performed well, and he is considered a peer in the film industry.

"Director Jia, Director Wang..." Xu Chen shook hands in a circle without holding it up, grinning: "I have admired your name for a long time, I have admired your name for a long time!"

Jia Zhangke was the most junior, and the film was short of funds. He just met Xu Chen, his butt next to the bench, and couldn't hold it in anymore: "Brother Chen, I have a script called Xiao Wu. My script is really good. Are you interested in investing, brother Chen?" Go back..."

De'er is different from an old man like Lou Ye.

"How much does it cost?"

"10...Brother Chen, 8..." Jia Zhangke whispered: "600,000 is enough, Brother Chen, it's okay to save."

"Xiao Wu" won a lot of awards and made a lot of money. Xu Chen neatly said: "600,000 is very reluctant, so I will give you 700,000."

I wipe.

Xu Chenhao's inhumane attitude deeply shocked Xiao Jia. The young man looked regretful, feeling regretful that he had lost 10 billion. Fortunately, 700,000 was enough, and grinned.

"Brother Chen, brother Chen, I also have a movie!" Zhang Yuan's eyes widened.

What the hell, I braved the heavy snow to pick the peaches, and Jia Zhangke picked the peaches. My heart ached and said, "Brother Chen, I have a movie called Going Home for the New Year. This movie focuses on ordinary family conflicts and emotional conflicts in China..."

Zhang Yuan kept talking, and under Xu Chen's puzzled eyes, he smiled: "Brother Chen, our movie is a story about a female... female killing Fan, but don't worry, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie."

"Lao Zhang, didn't you lift the ban?" Xu Chen picked up the meatballs with chopsticks and chewed them. "Aren't you ready to cooperate with the film studio?"

"Going Home for the New Year" Zhang Yuan teamed up with Xi'an Film Factory and lost money at the box office.

"The script has just come out, and I haven't gone there yet. I'm used to it in my profession." Zhang Yuan rubbed his hands, the smell of semen that had just been released from the ban had not yet gone away.

"Let's see, Lao Zhang, you should try it with the film studio first. You can't just lift the ban and then block it again." Xu Chen clicked his tongue and said, "When you are short of money, come to me. As long as there is no problem with the script, we can discuss it."

Xu Chen is not short of money. The sixth-generation director loses very little money on his movies. He can make friends and become a good person in the film industry, and then he can easily get involved in the film industry.

"Brother Chen, you are so angry!" Lou Ye gave a thumbs up.

Xu Chen threw away the money, and the sixth-generation director almost smiled flatteringly. This kind of refreshing, neat, and powerful benefactor made it much easier to ask for help than usual.

You're not being arrogant, is there anything wrong with calling me "Brother Chen"?

Absolutely not!

Xu Chen didn't show off. Except for not drinking, he would not refuse anyone else.

After three drinks, the place was noisy. Xu Chen unzipped his clothes, turned to Lou Ye and said: "Old Lou, the Berlin Film Festival is over in February, and Cannes is in May. In August, Venice, Paris, Rotterdam, and the International Let’s apply for the film festival!”

If you want to go abroad to participate in the award, it is not easy either. Travel expenses, accommodation, registration fees, clothing...

Everyone needed money, but Lou Ye had no money, so he listened to Xu Chen's arrangements. He gestured with a drink: "Brother Chen, I am your gun. I will shoot wherever you point."

"Old Lou, we friends cooperate without distinction."

Warmth surged in Lou Ye's chest, Brother Chen, my master!

The hot pot was very spicy. Xu Chen sipped his tea and thought of the Qinchi Wine advertisement. He said: "Old Lou, there is something wrong with the Qinchi Wine advertisement. Our shooting location has been changed from Yunnan to Yibin. In addition, Zhang Yimou may have to control the camera until... …”

"Hiss~" Lou Ye's mouth blistered because of the heat.

Not only him, but other sixth-generation directors looked confused. Damn it, Xu Chen said that Zhang Yimou wanted to carry a camera for him and shoot a commercial?

Zhang Yimou carried the camera for Brother Chen Kai, and there was no one except him.

Moreover, even a sixth-generation director can't count the number of awards Zhang Yimou has won internationally. The most important thing...

Are Xu Chen and Zhang Yimou familiar with each other to this extent?

"Brother Chen!" Lou Ye stared at Xu Chen carefully.

Xu Chen and Zhang Yimou are not similar in appearance and age. It is true that Xu Chen has a senior background.

The last time he told Zhang Yimou, Lou Ye's leaves were all cut off and sent to the Beijing Film Studio. He was like a bandit going to the Yamen to interrogate officials. It gave him a sense of magical reality!

Xu Chen didn't expect to reveal his butt. After all, Zhang Yimou's status in the film industry is too high. He has won awards continuously and is almost becoming a god!

Talking and laughing, bragging and spanking.

The clock on the wall stopped at 11:30.

Xu Chen said goodbye and took Gao Yuanyuan back home.

Jia Zhangke's movie "Xiao Wu" will have to be negotiated another day, and signing the contract is not just a matter of words.

"Brother Chen... is the movie that good?" Gao Yuanyuan lay on Xu Chen's back.

When Xu Chen chatted with them, what they talked about the most was movies. Some went bankrupt making movies, some went to jail, some had their wives separated, and some...

What a human tragedy!

It was the first time that Gao Yuanyuan saw someone working hard for their ideals, and was deeply moved. She thought of her own confused state, and although she wanted to work hard, she always slacked off.

"He's like arsenic, I'm like peach, movies are business." Xu Chen weighed Gao Yuanyuan's little butt.

The skinny jeans were tight, elastic to the touch, and as soft as a big hot water bottle.

"Hmm..." Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips.

She has no interest in movies. If movies are equated with Xu Chen, she thinks she must be just like them, passionate, pious and dedicated throughout her life.

…………

Time flies.

Xu Chen did not stay in Peking for too long.

He must deal with the trivial matters as soon as possible and join in the competition for supremacy in the music scene. After all, if he doesn't go, nothing will happen to him!

In 1998, the gods of the Chinese music scene were at war. The new gods and the old gods collided wildly with fierce firepower. The war was raging across two places.

Just talk about the mainland.

Liu Huan and Sun Nan in the mainland music scene can hardly resist the offensive of the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene!

Jimmy Lin in the Taiwan music scene brought the golden song Mona Lisa's Tears. Once the album was released, it instantly became popular and ranked in the top five of the Central Radio Song Request List in the mainland music scene.

In addition, Xu Huaiyu, the common queen of the Taiwan music scene, brought the golden song I am a girl, which swept the Chinese music scene. The album sold more than 300,000 copies in two weeks and became a first-line singer.

Kelly Chen's song You are different is also popular and is sung in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

Nicholas Tse in the Hong Kong music scene ignited the Hong Kong music scene with his song Because of love, so love, and the successor of the Four Heavenly Kings once again set a new record.

Although he was inferior to Xu Chen, Nicholas Tse ranked in the top three among the young generation in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, and the top 1 among the young generation in the Hong Kong music scene!

The Chinese music scene is full of wars and newcomers are emerging in an endless stream.

Besides, the veteran singers, kings and queens are all holding back their big moves. When they come out, the Chinese music scene will be so angry that their brains will be beaten.

Xu Chen also had to go all out, after all, the music scene is changing too fast.

Take Xu Huaiyu, the queen of the masses, for example. Her album sold over a million copies, but she disappeared in less than two years, kicked out by the four big and three small singers.

The newly emerging mainland music scene is wailing everywhere. Liu Huan and Sun Nan are struggling to support it, and Na Ying is preparing to return as the king with "Conquer".

Xu Chen took Gao Yuanyuan and Lou Ye to the vast bamboo sea in southern Sichuan to shoot the "Qinchi Wine" advertisement!
