Chapter 767 County Literature
After dinner, Fang Minghua was drunk and returned to the county guest house in Santana. As soon as Zhang Jianguo left the door, Fang Minghua was about to go back to his room when he saw a white van driving into the yard.
A middle-aged man got out of the car, wearing sunglasses and a suit with a crew-neck shirt underneath. A golden necklace hanging around his neck was particularly eye-catching.
Seeing Fang Minghua standing on the steps of the foyer, the man took off his sunglasses and showed a flattering smile on his face: "Are you Fang Minghua, vice chairman of the Qin Provincial Writers Association?"
"I am, Are you? ”
"Hello, hello, my name is Wang, Wang Dafa." The man shook hands warmly: I am the director of Shengli Coal Mine, and I brought the van to you. "
"Thank you, Boss Wang, and I'd like you to go there in person." "Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"You're welcome, how dare I neglect matters arranged personally by Secretary Zhou and County Magistrate Li? Chairman Fang, are you making a movie? Great, I want to support it! I still have two BMW X7s, do I need them? I’ll also send it to you so you can go and have fun or inspect it, it’s convenient. "
"No, no, no, I have my own car, thank you. "Fang Minghua declined.
This boss Wang is too enthusiastic.
Of course, it was for the sake of the secretary and county magistrate.
After Boss Wang left, when Jia Zhangke and the others finished work at noon, Fang Minghua handed him the key to the van, so that he could take back the off-road vehicle and wander around.
Fang Minghua planned to drive to the Wei Family Courtyard the next day, but unexpectedly, another group of people came. They were the deputy commissioner in charge of publicity in the city, the chairman of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the chairman of the Writers Association, and others. Another meal The guests and hosts talk, entertain, and sing in the evening.
Later, Tian Dongzhao, vice chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Writers Association, came with a few people from Taiyuan to meet with him. Some writers from Shanxi Province came here because of their reputation. Fang Minghua kept socializing in the past few days and got drunk one day.
Finally a week later, Fang Minghua’s world was clean.
This guy originally wanted to go out and relax, but he didn't expect that he would have more fun and debauchery than he did in Xijing City. It seems that he won't dare to run around in the future.
Fang Minghua was lying on the bed and thinking to himself.
"Xiao Wu" has been filming for more than a week, and Fang Minghua has never been to the filming location, so he decided to go and check it out today.
Today is a scene in the bathroom. If the male protagonist Wang Hongwei plays the role, and there are scenes of LUO, even though he is a man, the scene must be cleared. It turns out that when filming the movie, I like to watch the lively Fenyang. The crowd was driven away, leaving only the film crew.
Fang Minghua drove over and parked the car outside the bathroom. After entering, he found that the filming had been finished. Wang Hongwei was covered in a coat, shivering all over and complaining that the water was too cold.
Fang Minghua didn't interrupt, just watched quietly.
He suddenly remembered that in later generations, "county literature" became popular in short videos and also penetrated into popular movies and TV shows.
Speaking of "county aesthetics", many people will point to Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu" and other works. He himself became the originator of "county literature".
However, those texts or videos of later generations are just a kind of nostalgia, an aesthetic trend under the filter, and there is a feeling of "forcing new words to express sorrow".
But Jia Zhangke truly reflects this era.
There is desire in confusion, but there is vitality in decline and backwardness.
Fang Minghua was thinking wildly, and the filming was paused at this time.
The prop master hurriedly arranged other props and environments. Jia Zhangke finally took a rest and sat silently on a small chair with a cigarette in his mouth. .
Fang Minghua discovered something strange.
After being in contact with him for a while, Jia Zhangke is actually a person who can liven up the atmosphere. At night, I often hear the sounds of several men bragging and spanking coming from the room where he lives.
"Zhang Ke, what's wrong? The filming didn't go well?" Fang Minghua asked with concern.
Jia Zhangke shook his head, took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Fang Minghua: "Teacher Minghua, look, this is from my classmate from Yanjing."
Fang Minghua I took it and saw it was a copy. It was a red-headed document from the relevant department. The title of the document was very eye-catching: "Notice on not supporting or assisting Zhang Yuan and others in the filming and post-processing of film and television films."
The names of seven people are clearly written in the document:
Zhang Yuan, Wang Xiaoshuai, He Jianjun, Wu Wenguang, Shi Shi, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Ning Dai!
"Are you scared?" Fang Minghua asked.
Jia Zhangke nodded.
I am really scared.
This is not to ban a certain video, but to directly ban a person!
Fang Minghua was not much surprised, but said calmly: "Shengshi Film and Television has received this document a long time ago. After cooperating with Wang Xiaoshuai on the movie "Extreme Cold", we have not cooperated again."
"But you Don't worry, feel free to shoot your movie." Fang Minghua patted him on the shoulder: "After the filming is completed, I will handle the application for the Dragon Award."
"Thank you, Teacher Minghua." A look of gratitude.
“You’re welcome, I’m a producer, I have to play a role, right?” Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy. I won't disturb you anymore." Fang Minghua was about to leave after saying that, but saw the deputy director Zhang Xi hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Jia Zhangke's ear, Jia Zhangke His expression became serious again, with a bit of anger in his eyes.
"What happened?" Fang Minghua stopped and asked.
"Director Zhang said that Zuo Wenlu will stop performing." Jia Zhangke replied.
"Stop performing? Why?" Fang Minghua was a little strange. He had a good impression of the girl who was half his hometown.
The family conditions are relatively good and everything has been going smoothly. However, the character Hu Meimei played this time is actually a young lady. Although she is a singer, Zuo Wenlu is still very attentive in playing this role that is very inconsistent with her own image. .
“She felt that throughout the movie, the Hu Meimei she played was too inconspicuous, and she always felt a sense of loss,” Zhang Xi explained. “The other thing is.”
"What else?" Fang Minghua asked.
“I feel like she is not satisfied with the remuneration and feels it is a bit low.” Zhang Xi said.
"Zhang Ke, you signed remuneration contracts with all the actors, right?" Fang Minghua asked.
"That's for sure, but the pay is low. Zuo Wenlu is the highest, with 30,000 yuan. When we were young, each of us could only get 2,000 yuan in the end, just to help." Jia Zhangke explained.
Thirty thousand yuan is indeed not high.
After hearing this, Fang Minghua pondered for a moment and said: "Well, Director Zhang, please tell Zuo Wenlu that since you have signed the contract, you must strictly abide by the contract. If you want to increase the price, if you still want to act in the next film, you can It’s not too late! This is it. Don’t you want to film it? Pack up your bags and leave!”
“If you are not satisfied with the script, Zhang Ke, please tell her more about the structure of the script and the female gender. From a political point of view, I explain the importance of this role. Anyway, I think this role is quite important, but if she still doesn’t listen, let her go!” ! Shengshi Film and Television invests more! In a word, the rules cannot be broken!”
Both Jia Zhangke and Zhang Xi were stunned.
I didn’t expect that Fang Minghua, who is usually very gentle, sometimes does things neatly and neatly, leaving no room for anything.
"Okay! Let's go talk!" The two said in unison.
"Okay, you guys are busy, I'm leaving." Fang Minghua turned around and walked out.
Jia Zhangke did not reveal the outcome of his conversation with Zuo Wenlu to Fang Minghua, but the girl continued filming with the crew and never heard anything else from her.
The crew had nothing to do, so Fang Minghua drove around and wandered around. He went to the Wei Family Courtyard, Wenfeng Pagoda, Wuyue Temple, and Xinghua Village, where he visited the Xinghua Village Fenjiu Workshop and experienced it. "May I ask where the restaurant is? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village."
While Fang Minghua was driving his car around the land of Shanxi Province, feeling at ease and at ease, Jeff Bezos, thousands of miles away in Seattle, was also feeling very proud.
Because Amazon is finally going public.
