Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 242 Jiang Qinqin

Zhang Chen was sleeping soundly on the bed in the hotel when he suddenly felt an itch on the tip of his nose. He opened his eyes and found that it was Jiang Qinqin who was teasing him.

I stood up and half-leaned on the backrest, then I felt a little sore in my waist.

Looking at the energetic look of the woman in front of me, I really admire her energy.

(This has been censored, you know...)
"Would you like to..."

"Don't~"

“You want me to be Zhuge Liang?

Don't even think about it~
I still want to live a few more years."

"Zhuge Liang?"

"Devote all my energy to the cause until my death~"

"Oh, you talk a lot of weird things, hehe~"

Jiang Qinqin didn't waste any words and got up to put on her clothes.

"what are you doing?"

"Catch a plane."

"Huh? Where are you going?"

"Back to the crew, Qiao Family Courtyard is being filmed right now. I took a day off yesterday."

"Oh~"

"By the way, don't you want to go home and take a look? We are on the way, so we can..."

"Uh~"

Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment. Thinking of being watered every day, he was quite moved, but in the end, reason overcame hormones.

"Forget it, let's wait for a while, the company is busy recently~"

"Okay~"

Jiang Qinqin continued to put on her clothes, and Zhang Chen chatted and thought of "Qiao Family Courtyard".

"Is Qiao Family Courtyard a play directed by Hu Mei?"

"Yes, you know Director Hu Mei?"

"How could I not know? Who hasn't seen The Yongzheng Dynasty in 98 and The Emperor of Han Wu in 03?"

He himself studied directing, so he is of course familiar with these things, and these two dramas are very popular.

Speaking of which, Hu Mei is quite remarkable. There are few female directors, and even fewer who can achieve her level of achievement.

"The Yongzheng Dynasty", "The Emperor Wu of Han" and "Qiao Family Courtyard" are all classics.

Female directors usually have a better grasp of romance films because women's minds are more delicate.

But it is hard to say for grand themes like "The Yongzheng Dynasty".

But Hu Mei did a very good job, so we say she is amazing.

She was also the director of "Dream of Red Mansions", but later resigned for various reasons and was taken over by Li Shaohong.

Li Shaohong's "Dream of Red Mansions" is so hard to describe in words.

A good story of a rich second-generation picking up girls was filmed by her as eerie and frivolous...

Especially her casting and makeup, which were criticized and became a hot topic.

The shape of the money head makes it hard to understand what the director's aesthetic taste is. Does she really think it looks good?
At that time, people said that if the director had not been changed, this might not have happened.

But later facts proved that netizens were overthinking.

Hu Mei probably felt that not directing "Dream of Red Mansions" was a regret in her life, so 18 years later she made a movie "Dream of Red Mansions Part One" to make up for the regret.

After seeing the character, it's so eye-catching. The casting of Lin Daiyu makes people doubt her aesthetic taste, and the actor who plays the role is also a weirdo.

Zhang Chen saw an interview in which the host asked Hu Mei's version of Lin Daiyu: "What do you think of Lin Daiyu?"

She responded: "Snake."

The host asked again: "If you came from Yangzhou with a large sum of money, how would you face the people in the Jia Mansion?"

She responded: "I'll spend all my money first."

The host then asked: "How would you feel as Lin Daiyu if Jia Baoyu married Xue Baochai?"

She said, "Thank them for inviting me to witness their love." Then she burst into brainless and ignorant laughter.

I really want to ask the director, are all the actresses in China dead? Why would someone like this who has no substance and no basic understanding of the character be chosen to play an important role with outstanding talent and unique temperament!

Where did you find this kind of silly but not sweet, ignorant and mediocre, superficial and not good-looking person?
Let’s talk about Hu Mei again. The older generation of filmmakers all have a bad habit: they love to pretend.

I love to label myself as an artist, and everything starts from art, not money.

When being interviewed for "A Dream of Red Mansions Part Two", Hu Mei acted as calm as a chrysanthemum and said that she didn't care about the box office at all and that she would go traveling when the movie was released.

Then they were overwhelmed by the daily box office revenue of hundreds of thousands, and said that AI was maliciously giving bad reviews to movies.

I know a lot, and I also know AI~
Judging from the results, there is no such thing as not caring about the box office. Don’t they care about the box office very much?
This is quite similar to Li Shaohong. Li Shaohong once said that she likes to rush forward and basically doesn't care about anything else after filming a movie.

What I mean is that in the entire process of film creation, I am only responsible for the artistic creation part, and the rest of the marketing and money-related stuff have nothing to do with me.

Then, Rong Xinda suffered so much loss that he couldn't even afford to pay for Li Shaohong to start filming a movie.

Of course, these are all Zhang Chen's wild thoughts. He does not look down on Hu Mei or Li Shaohong. He himself studied directing and he knows very well that it is impossible for a director to keep up with the times.

At his peak, the director's values ​​are in line with the times, and coupled with his own characteristics, his chances of making a hit greatly increase.

On the contrary, as time goes by, the director's cognition will gradually become outdated, and he will inevitably be abandoned by society. This is a natural law.

The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach. That's the truth.

No one can be a director for a lifetime and still be successful. The older generation of directors will inevitably be overshadowed by the younger generation. This is inevitable.

"Come visit my class when you have time~"

"it is good."

Jiang Qinqin left without asking for anything and left in a carefree manner.

After rushing back to the crew of "Qiao Family Courtyard", he didn't know whether his relationship with Chen Jianbin would reappear after what happened today.

If he was blown away by the butterfly's wings, those directors' wives would hate him to death.

When the news of Jiang Qinqin's marriage came out, countless directors' wives breathed a sigh of relief and could finally eat and sleep in peace.

……

Zhang Chen wanted to continue sleeping but couldn't, so he got up, washed up, and prepared to go to the company.

Half an hour later, he just arrived downstairs of the company and was surrounded by media reporters who had been waiting for a long time as soon as he got out of the car.

"Director Zhang, regarding your angry response to Lu Chuan last night..."

"Director Zhang Chen, Lu Chuan issued a statement last night, saying that The Shallows is a lousy film that flaunts eroticism, and that Manslaughter..."

Zhang Chen was not going to pay attention to it, but when he heard "Mistakenly Killing", he suddenly stopped.

"What did he say about Manslaughter?"

The reporter was a little nervous when Zhang Chen stared at him, but he still said, "He said that 'The Accidental Murderer' is also a bad movie that only knows how to be mysterious, and there are many violations in this movie. I don't know how it was released..."

"Did he really say that?" Zhang Chen was suspicious, wondering if the reporter was deliberately trying to stir up trouble and start a war of words.

"It's true, I have a screenshot~"

The journalists seemed to have suffered a great humiliation. We do often confuse right and wrong, but you cannot accuse us of doing so when we are not.

As he said this, he took out his mobile phone and found the photos inside.

The photos were taken with a mobile phone, and it was from Lu Chuan’s blog. What the reporter just said were all mentioned by Lu Chuan in her blog.

It's really Lu Chuan~
Is this guy ready to jump out and cause trouble again?

Seeing that something interesting was going to happen, the reporters gathered around.

The reporter who provided evidence hurried to protect his best position, holding the microphone in front of Zhang Chen, almost poking him in the mouth.

People are giving him information and looking for evidence, so Zhang Chen won't remain indifferent and he has to make a response.

"I have something else to do, so I won't comment much. I'll just say this: when he can make a movie on his own, he will be qualified to comment on my movies."

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he turned and entered the company. The reporters wanted to follow him but were stopped by the security guard at the door.

The reporters were very excited. Lu Chuan’s plagiarism was old news. If one thing could be hyped twice, that would be two KPIs, but they were still not satisfied.

Lu Chuan openly challenged you at the film festival, and you, Zhang Chen, just said it was plagiarism and that was it?
Are you still the strongest talker as before?

How does this work?
But it doesn’t matter. If Zhang Chen doesn’t respond, then we will go find Lu Chuan.

One hand cannot clap, but what if another hand takes the initiative to clap?
