Chapter 784: Impatient and want to go fishing
The couple took a plane back to Xijing the next day.
Song Tangtang continues to be busy with his work. This year, in addition to co-producing "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" with Warner Bros., Shengshi Film and Television has also started filming the large-scale domestic costume drama "Yongzheng Dynasty".
Inviting female director Hu Mei to direct, Liu Heping, Yueyuehe screenwriter Tang Guoqiang, Jiao Huang and other veteran actors to star in this drama is the highlight of Shengshi Film and Television in the field of TV series this year.
Feng Xiaogang's second movie "See You or Be Parted" is also actively being prepared. Since the first Lunar New Year film "Party A and Party B" was released and became a huge success, with a box office of 37 million, Feng Xiaogang continued his efforts and co-wrote the script "See You or Not Separate" with the American writer Gu Xiaoyang, and is actively preparing to film it.
The story tells a love story between two Yenching natives living in the United States, which is a bit like "Yenjing natives in New York".
But unlike the TV series, this movie is fast-paced and a romantic comedy with an investment of 4 million.
In addition, Jia Zhangke also started filming his second movie "Platform".
The story is adapted from the 1987 novel "Platform" of the same name published by Fang Minghua. Jun and Zhong Ping live an ordinary material life but have a relatively rich spiritual world. Under the impact of the wave of social change, each of their careers and relationships have changed, and each of them has taken a different path in life.
Jia Zhangke made a special trip to Xijing to find Fang Minghua and said that he liked this novel very much and liked the joys and sorrows of small people in the context of a big era.
Of course Fang Minghua agreed, so Jia Zhangke wrote the script himself and set the filming location in his hometown of Fenyang to start "Platform," the second part of Jia Zhangke's hometown trilogy.
This time, Fang Minghua did not become the producer.
My daughter-in-law is busy at work, and Fang Minghua is not idle either. In addition to taking care of the children, especially coming back at night to supervise the children to do their homework, and sometimes correcting them, there is also another job, which is to finish the Harry Potter novel series as soon as possible. Three parts.
In his words, he finished writing it quickly and settled a thought. He has been busy writing this for the past two years, and suddenly he felt a little bored.
He was not in the mood to write today. After his two children went to school in the morning, he felt bored staying in the study. Then he went to the calligraphy and painting hall on the third floor to appreciate calligraphy and painting, but he still felt restless.
Fang Minghua looked out the window, the birds were singing, the flowers were fragrant, and the spring was bright.
Could it be that spring is here, and I am feeling full of spring?
Impossible.
Now that I am almost forty, I am no longer a vigorous young man.
Since being at home was boring, Fang Minghua decided to go fishing.
In this season when the grass grows and the orioles fly, sitting on the bank of the Feng River and fishing is also a beautiful thing.
It’s best to find someone else to work with.
Today is not the weekend. Jia Pingwa is definitely not free when she is busy with the Xijing Writers Association. Bai Miao is even busier. Preparations for the 4th World Chinese Literature Award have begun, so she cannot disturb him.
Chen Zhongshi has already rushed to Yanjing to attend the 4th Mao Dun Literature Award Ceremony.
I can only call him Lu Yao.
Although Lu Yao is not very interested in fishing, he probably has nothing to do now.
Just do it, Fang Minghua went downstairs and immediately picked up the landline and called Lu Yao.
No one answered the phone.
So he called Lu Yao's home again. This time someone answered the phone, but there was a woman's voice.
It turned out to be Lu Yao’s daughter-in-law Linda.
"Sister-in-law, you didn't go to work today?" Fang Minghua greeted.
"I'm going through the retirement procedures, so I don't have to go to work."
Fang Minghua was surprised when he heard this: "Ah? Sister-in-law, you are a cadre, you have to retire in two years, right? Why so early? ? ""The efficiency of the unit is too poor now, and I can't get much money if I stay here, so I just apply for retirement in advance and go home."
"Well, it's okay to go home and rest." Where's the big brother? I called his cell phone just now but no one answered." Fang Minghua asked again.
"His mobile phone is at home. He will probably come back after going for a walk for a while. What are you looking for?" Linda asked on the other side of the phone.
"Haha, it's nothing big. I think the weather is good today, so I'll ask him to go fishing."
"Okay, I'll tell him when he comes back."
"Okay."< br>
Fang Minghua hung up the phone, and half an hour later, Lu Yao called: "Minghua, my fishing skills are relatively poor.
"Everyone is talking to each other, except Pingwa. A capable man, but he is not here today, so it is just the two of us. ”
"Okay, where to go?"
"How about going to Yanjiaqu Feng River Bridge? It's better to fish there."
"Okay, then I'll set off now and we'll meet there. "Lu Yao happily agreed.
"Okay, we'll leave right away."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Minghua went downstairs and told the nanny that he wouldn't be back for lunch, then went to pack up the fishing gear and put it in the trunk of the car. We drove out of Chaoyangmen and headed straight to Yanjiaqu.
Yanjiaqu Village is recorded in ancient books as Yanjiaqu Village. It is located in Gaoqiao Street Office, Chang'an. Fang Minghua drove for a full hour to get here.
Surrounded by large tracts of wheat fields, not far away are the Qinling Mountains, and the Fenghe River flows slowly, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Fang Minghua stopped the car on the side of the road and saw Lu Yao's Santana. He got off the road with fishing gear and walked along the river embankment not far when he saw Lu Yao sitting under a weeping willow. , has started fishing.
Fang Minghua was right in front of him, found a backwater bay with a relatively slow stream, got into position, sat on the pony and started fishing.
Neither of them are experienced anglers. They just come out to play, relax and chat.
"Brother Lu, sister-in-law is leaving soon?" Fang Minghua asked.
"Yes, you also know that their Xiying Film Studio has been dying in the past few years, and I heard that it is going to undergo corporate restructuring. Who knows what it will be like? It's better to quit. "Lu Yao said.
"What a pity for the West Film Studio." Fang Minghua sighed.
“I don’t think it’s a pity. This kind of movie studio should have closed down a long time ago. It loses money on every film it makes, and its total box office revenue in a year is less than 30 million! Not to mention it is not as good as those imported blockbusters. The box office revenue of this movie is not even as good as that of "Party A and Party B" produced by Shengshi Film and Television!"
Lu Yao said. "I see, Xiying Film Studio is extremely ill, even if Wu Tianmin comes back it will be in vain."
"In fact, Xiying Film Factory has a lot of talents, but the performance is not good, and it is still a structural problem."
"Yes! The leadership is rigid and conservative, and the management is chaotic. Who is willing to do it? Just let Shengshi Film and Television merge Xiying Studio In the past, it was considered a burden for the country," Lu Yao said with a smile.
"The policy does not allow it." Fang Minghua shook his head: "To be honest, Shengshi Film and Television now only hopes that the country will relax its policy and allow private film companies to produce independently, so that they do not have to buy dragon films from state-owned film studios. "
"That's right. Acquiring Xiying Studio is equivalent to throwing the burden to Shengshi Film and Television. It's better to go it alone. Oops, the fish is hooked!"
Lu Yao said suddenly! As soon as I lifted the fishing rod, a three-inch-long crucian carp was dragged out of the water while hanging on the hook.
"Haha, good luck." Lu Yao happily put the fish into the plastic bucket.
