Chapter 74 People’s circumstances are different

Lao Tian is still very loyal. Since he can no longer be a photographer, he plans to recommend one to Cao Yang.

"That day the school opened the incense hall to code people..."

"Ahem, senior brother, your status is different now, so you can't say nonsense." Cao Yang quickly interrupted Lao Tian and reminded him.

"Hey, it's just the two of us... Okay, I'll pay attention next time, it's really not good to be spread randomly."

Lao Tian sighed. He always felt that being a teacher was a constraint. He was a teacher and a role model. He had to control his big mouth.

"Do you still remember the skinny monkey-like person I introduced to you that day? He was the one with dull eyes, submissive, and looked very wretched... a photographer from the 78th level photography department, his name is Gu Changwei, you should listen Let him pass?”

I definitely know this person, but you just said you should control the big mouth, and I didn’t see how well you controlled it. Is this how you set an example?

Chen Kaige's "The King of Children" and "Farewell My Concubine", Guoshi's "Red Sorghum" and "Ju Dou", Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days" and "The Japanese Are Coming", these classic movies were all directed by Gu Changwei mirror.

Although Gu Changwei can make literary films as a director and cannot make commercial films, he is still extremely good as a photographer and was once called the number one photographer in China.

"I know him, and I also know that he has worked with Director Chen, Director Zhang, and Director Jiang."

"He has nothing to do at home. He hugs his wife and gives birth to children every day. You can invite him to give it a try." The corners of Lao Tian's mouth turned up, as if he meant to laugh.

"What's your expression? Don't you want to invite me? I don't have the patience to look around the thatched cottage."

"Haha, you are worrying too much. A few years ago when I was banned from coaching, he still laughed at me. I just feel that things have changed and his situation is not much better now." Lao Tian said with a smile.

"I can pull you down. They don't ban directing or filming. With his reputation, no matter how bad the situation is, how much worse can it be."

"You don't understand."

Lao Tian waved his hand, still with the same expression, "He was number one in the photography department back then. After graduation, all the people he worked with have become big directors. He also has ambitions.

So, after receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography for "Farewell My Concubine" in 1994, he dove into Hollywood and went to the United States to make a career.

I've been there for almost five years, but I haven't achieved anything. I'm worried about finding an excuse to come back. It just so happens that Jiang Wen is going to film "The Devils Are Coming". The two of them hit it off immediately, so they came up with an excuse.

Brother Kai and Yi Mou both had regular photographers, so he thought he could be Jiang Wen's photographer without losing his place.

Then, Jiang Wen was banned from directing because of this movie. I felt really aggrieved for him, Gu Changwei, who boasted that he was the number one cinematographer, but had no great director to work with. ”

When you feel aggrieved for others, can you hold back your laughter?

"There are so many directors, but he doesn't like them?"

"That's the problem. He doesn't like anyone who wants to cooperate with him. Everyone he wants to cooperate with, except Jiang Wen, has a fixed photographer. Jiang Wen is banned from directing, so he can only give birth at home. .”

"Didn't it mean that one of his eyes was diagnosed as strabismus and he needs more rest?"

"Yes, there must be a justifiable reason for rejecting others." Lao Tian said with a smile.

Lao Tian, your speculation is a bit malicious. I think you are just holding a grudge.

Cao Yang thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, I'll ask Cheng Jianye to make a phone call first to explore the way. If you are willing to come, we can cooperate once. If you don't want to, forget it. I remember that I met several good photographers that day."

……

"Teacher Cheng."

"Director Cheng."

"Teacher Cheng."

Along the way, everyone who saw Cheng Jianye, whether they were teachers, students or staff of the Qingying Film Studio, greeted him politely.

Cheng Jianye liked this feeling very much and felt a little secretly happy from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, many people in Qingying Film Studio knew him, Cheng Jianye, but very few took the initiative to greet him in such a warm and polite manner. His qualifications are not deep. He has been doing production work at Qingying Film Studio. He has done all these things including external production, life production, on-site production and coordination. In a word, he has done all the production work that the crew needs. It’s just a production, I have no choice.

But since following Cao Yang, everything has changed significantly.

First, after Cao Yang's first film won an award, although Cheng Jianye was just a producer, the film won two Silver Bears after all. When he returned to Qingying Film Studio, he was surrounded by envious eyes.

But this time, as the production director, after receiving the Golden Lion with Cao Yang, his status suddenly rose invisibly.

Cheng Jianye didn't know how many people were envious and jealous behind his back, but in front of him, they were all filled with enthusiastic smiles and compliments.

Just two days ago, the organization issued a document promoting him to deputy director of the production department. I don't know how many people who rejected Cao Yang at the beginning slapped their thighs in annoyance.

In the office, Cheng Jianye sat behind his desk, flipping through an equipment application, and asked the two students standing in front of him, "Are you from the photography department?"

"Yes, Teacher Cheng."

The two students answered cautiously with smiles on their faces.

"Sign your names here."

The two took the application, signed their names in the upper left corner, and handed it over with a smile: "Okay, Teacher Cheng."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Cheng Jianye took the application and signed it while reading: "Ning Hao, Li Huachun, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's right, Teacher Cheng."

"Yeah."

Cheng Jianye was just halfway through writing when the phone rang. He originally wanted to wait until he had finished writing the approval application before answering the phone, but he accidentally glanced at it and immediately put down his pen. He even sat much straighter.

"Director Cao, what are your orders?"

Cheng Jianye no longer had the serious and serious face, but his face was full of smiles, which was even worse than the smiles on the faces of Ning Hao and Li Huachun just now.

"Okay, I'll contact him right away."

"Yeah, yeah, no problem."

"Okay, okay, I remember."

"Okay, okay, I get it."

"Goodbye, Director Cao."

Cheng Jianye hung up the phone and stood up to leave.

Ning Hao and Li Huachun immediately said with smiles on their faces: "Teacher Cheng, the application form has not been signed yet."

Cheng Jianye didn't say anything. He just stood and signed it, handed it to the two of them, and left without looking back.

Ning Hao took the application form approved by Cheng Jianye and couldn't help but ask Li Huachun, "The person who called Teacher Cheng just now couldn't be Director Cao Yang, right?"

"I think the only person who can make Teacher Cheng so respectful is Director Cao."

Li Huachun said with envy: "If Director Cao can call me like this, I guarantee he will be more respectful than Teacher Cheng."

"But I can pull you down. What does the Golden Lion Director want you to do? Run errands? It's not your turn to run errands."

Ning Hao changed the topic, "Ahem, I can run much faster than you."

Li Huachun kicked Ning Hao and asked in a low voice: "Haozi, do you think Director Cao is going to start a new play again? Do you think we have a chance to be an assistant?"

Ning Hao touched his chin and thought for a while, then pulled Li Huachun and left, "Let's invite Mr. Wei out for a big dinner and find out more by the way. Maybe we can get a chance to intern on the set."
