Chapter 4 Three Good Brothers
In the past few days after the new year, Zhang Chen has been further improving the script of "Dark Invasion". Since it is to be adapted into a localized version, it must be perfect, and at least the logic must be self-contained. Negotiable.
In later generations, a large part of people’s complaints about the movie was that its logic is not self-consistent.
Hong Kong and Taiwan movies are famous for being illogical. Zhang Chen has always had many doubts:
Why in Wu Sen’s movies, the bullets in the magazine can never be finished? of?
Why did a grand duke like Cao Shaoqin lead a large group of troops to the desert to hunt down a few rebels?
Why were Linghu Chong and the other five people able to defeat the tens of thousands of troops at Heimu Ya with ease?
Why were there so many policemen armed with batons and helicopters, but Azheng and Brother Long escaped with their bare hands?
Why did Pheasant suddenly have tens of millions of funds to deal with the big guys in Hongxing?
Of course, the mainland ones are not much better.
When people watch "The Promise" in the theater, they will have a feeling: What is this movie about? I seem to have seen it, but I don't seem to have watched it.
Why "Steamed Buns" became a hit overnight may be because he rearranged the unclear logic of "The Promise".
……
Didu Railway Station
Even though the Didu West Station was diverted in 2004, the flow of people at the old Didu Station still did not decrease. There was a surge of people, like zombies emerging from their cages.
Zhang Chen followed the people out of the station. He told his good friends in advance to pick him up, but why didn't he see the shadow of the other party? Those two unreliable guys must have forgotten.
While I was searching in the crowd, a voice sounded not far away:
“Hey, the very handsome one, right, I’m talking about you. Don’t look around, look here. ..."
Zhang Chen hurriedly covered his face. From the sound of his voice, he knew it was that bastard Cao Bingkun. In such a large public, it was simply embarrassing.
Sure enough, the people who picked him up nearby looked over curiously, probably wanting to see how handsome the guy they said was particularly handsome was.
Zhang Chen followed the voice and looked over. Cao Bingkun smiled at him with a mean smile. Ning Hao next to him didn't forget to hit him: "Welcome Chief Zhang to inspect the central government~"
"Haozi, Lao Cao, you guys Harm me~"
Zhang Chen really had no shame in staying in the spotlight anymore, so he tried to run away, but was stopped by two people, and the three of them huddled together laughing and joking.
“Hahaha, do you know that in order to pick you up, Haozi and I were so hungry that our chests were pressed against our backs.”
“Okay, no need to say anything else, I understand, we’ll go right away. Let me take care of this meal.”
"Sensible."
A few young people put their arms around each other and laughed constantly. The two of them naturally took the luggage from Zhang Chen's hand.
Cao Bingkun, also known as Xie Ruolin in "Latent", is Zhang Chen's good brother at Nortel.
Zhang Chen and his group have recruited nine people in total for this directing department. Four people share a room. Zhang Chen happens to be free, so he lives with the junior college students. Cao Bingkun is his roommate.
Ning Hao is from the Photography Department, grade 99. He has graduated and is staying in the imperial capital to develop. He and Zhang Chen are both from Dayuan, Longcheng. They are close fellow villagers and have a very good relationship.
"Let's go, let's find a place first, let's chat while eating..."
The good brother wanted to pick him up because he was hungry, so he naturally wanted to make some excuses, but was stopped by Cao Bingkun:
"No, let's take a taxi back to school and eat at the old place. The restaurants near the train station are expensive and terrible. Whoever eats here is a fool."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately felt Several invisible murderous auras came nearby.
Cao Bingkun realized that he was talking nonsense and unknowingly brought others along with him, and quickly led everyone to cheer.
...
The old place is actually a small restaurant called ‘Food First’, right in front of Nortel. The name is very artistic, but in fact it is very low-end and does not even have private rooms.
But it tastes good.
It is said in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that 'there must be an antidote to the poisonous snake within a hundred steps! ’
In fact, the same is true for schools. Cheap and delicious restaurants must be near the school. What Cao Bingkun said before is actually true. In a place like a train station, what people do is focus on passenger flow, and repeat customers are not considered at all. Whether it tastes good or not is not important at all. You like to eat it or not.
It's different at the school gate. If you don't taste good here, you won't be able to drive at all.
'Food First' is a treasure restaurant they accidentally discovered. A few people often gather here. The food is delicious and cheap, which is very suitable for their position as poor students.
"Vinegar musu, twice-cooked pork, what else do you want?"
Cao Bingkun ordered a few of everyone's favorite dishes as soon as he came up, and then handed the menu to Ning Hao: "Don't save money for this boy."
Twice-cooked pork is a popular taste and almost everyone loves it.
Vinegar Mushu is a dish of the Imperial City. Cao Bingkun, a native of the Imperial City, loves to eat it. This dish has a strong aroma of vinegar and is also very popular with Ning Hao and Zhang Chen, two people from the coal province. Reserved dishes for every party.
Ning Hao was not polite and looked at the menu again, "Let me have boiled fish again, 9 Yanjing."
Poached fish was very popular in the imperial capital at this time, almost every restaurant had it. There is this dish.
The food is served very quickly in the small restaurant. Within a few minutes, the first twice-cooked pork was served. The three of them each had their fill and started with one first.
It's refreshing. Drinking beer in the middle of winter makes my heart cool~
"Old Cao, what gossip has been going on recently? How many drinks can I tell you about it?"
Cao Bingkun didn't say it was just a ploy, but he told a rumor. There is no problem with the communicator. After hearing this, he immediately said: "Do you still remember the incident about Director Huang, a Chinese opera student wearing sleeping clothes? Recently, there has been a new development. The woman retorted again. It is said that Director Huang was arrested."
"The female students of the Chinese Opera are really miserable. They have to survive under the teacher's stick at such a young age..."
Zhang Chen said with emotion, compared with them, Nortel, the Chinese Opera It's really strict. You're not allowed to take plays during your freshman and sophomore years.
This has led to many female students who had the opportunity to film movies to have to make do in order to get special approval from the department.
The group chatted about other gossips, and then Zhang Chen said: "Old Cao, have you found out clearly what I asked you to inquire about?"
"Of course. When did our brother not do everything you told him?"
"What happened?" Ning Hao was curious.
“Tatsuko asked me to inquire about registering a film and television company.”
"Do you want to register a film and television company?"
"Yes, I have this plan."
Zhang Chen nodded, and then asked Lao Cao again: "How is it? What is the policy?"
"The Imperial Capital has a lot of preferential policies..."
Cao Bingkun said while eating, Zhang Chen listened quietly beside him.
The memory of later generations told him that many places actually have supportive policies for the establishment of film and television companies.
For example, Dongyang City, where Hengdian is located, has regulations that exempt film and television companies within their jurisdiction from business tax in the first two years, and 60% will be returned every year from the second to the eighth year, which means that in the next eight years The tax the company has to pay is only 10% of the net profit.
It stands to reason that as the imperial capital with the most concentrated film and television resources, it should have similar policies, but he has never paid attention to this aspect before.
"Hey, Chenzi, you are going to be the boss, Lao Cao, we finally have a big leg to hug."
After understanding what was going on, Ning Hao was beside him Joking, Cao Bingkun also started cheering.
"Come on, let's go, respect Mr. Zhang~" Cao Bingkun looked like a loser.
"Come on, you still have thighs, mosquito legs are almost the same."
