At the end of August, the directing class was also over, and Ding Ning officially got rid of the hard two-headed life, but the workload did not decrease much, after all, as long as he wanted to do things, there were countless things waiting for him to do.For Ding Ning, the first priority in September, in addition to the new album, is of course to take advantage of the fact that the weather is not cold and hurry up to get the filming of his grandson from the United States.On September 3, Ai Qingping, his newly created assistant of Wanwei Film and Television Studio, brought him good news: "We have already done it over there at the filming site, and the Ping County Government is still willing to invest, do you want to take it?"
”It is common for film and television to receive advertising investment, but if you get involved with the government, you may be assigned some political task, a good film, maybe you have to pull the banner of building socialist spiritual civilization, Ding Ning loves the country, but he doesn't want to be involved with the government for the time being.The answer was expected by Ai Qingping, Ai Qingping said: "That's okay, then I'll talk to the people over there."
However, the government officials over there said that they hoped that our attitude would be more objective and correct.How to put it, don't learn from the previous generation of directors, don't shoot the good places, and shoot the poor and backward side. ”Although many of the directors of the previous generation have enjoyed international reputation and won many international awards, frankly speaking, many of their films are not worthy of their name, whether it is the shooting technique, the content, or the so-called depth, are very rough.It is not so much that their films profoundly expose the social contradictions or human nature in China, it is better to say that they have filmed the literati spirit in their bones.In the West, their films weren't very popular.can win awards, more for political reasons, scandalizing China was once the most important political correctness for mainland films to win awards at those international awards.Putting aside this factor, there was only one person in the whole continent who could win the award at that time.That is Wei Changping.Wei Changping's literary films are relatively mellow and have won the golden mean, although they also involve the backward side of the country.But his success is not rooted in that.is more because he has his own unique film language and ideas, and has been recognized by foreign people from all aspects.Therefore, among so many mainland directors who have won awards abroad, only he and the protagonists in his films are truly international and have a certain degree of popularity abroad.And other directors don't have a reputation for him alone, this is the difference between real power and fake power.Of course.There are two sides to everything.Even if they are fake strength, it is from an international perspective, compared with many other directors in China, they are still much better, at least not out of place.And, although they have a lot to criticize, in those days, the reason why they would make such a film was also a way of resistance.In this country that has only been established for decades, there are many injustices and irrationalities so far.And countering violence with violence is the unyielding nature of those directors.From a personal point of view, Ding Ning has an attitude of neither rejecting nor liking the works of those directors, from the perspective of new directors.Ding Ning had great respect for their fighting spirit.Without their struggle, most of the current domestic film and television market is more disciplined than it is now, and there are restrictions everywhere.Of course, he disagrees with many of the views of these directors.But perhaps it is their excesses that can prompt the relevant departments to make changes.This is also the embodiment of the contradiction of things, and when it falls on everyone's head, there will be such contradictions.However, no matter how famous the previous generation of directors was, there was no controversy.What kind of contribution has he made, at least Ding Ning didn't think about being a sharp person: "I understand this."
The place you are looking for will not be too poor," Ai Qingping said: "It's not poor, it's quite characteristic of a mountain village in Shaanxi Province."
You've seen the photos too, it's not sloppy, and it's not too shabby.When are you free to come over and see" I want to take time recently, it's still quite good to smoke, without further ado, Ding Ning thought for a while and said: "Then tomorrow, I'll come over tomorrow, and we'll go to Kankanjing together." ”Ai Qingping replied: "Okay, then I'll go and prepare and plan a route for you." ”"What about the group performance, can you handle it over there?"
asked Ding Ning.Ai Qingping said: "Can you do it, don't you want some elderly people, now in this mountain village, it is difficult to find young men and girls, but if you want to find old people, I will take you around casually, at least I can pull two trucks." ”"That's good.""
If you want to bring other people over, if you want, give them a number, and I will arrange a place for you to live."
There is no need to bring people over to join in the fun in the early stage of the survey, Ding Ning said: "Just me, and Dafei, you can arrange two rooms." ”"Cheng, then I'll go to Zhang Luo now" "Okay, I'm in trouble." ”"Don't bother, take your salary, this shouldn't be my business, then I'll hang up first" Saying this to Ding Ning, Ai Qingping felt weird, because Ding Ning was 9 years younger than him.He ran around the crowd, and said this with a little doll, feeling a little ashamed."
Okay."
Hanging up Ai Qingping's phone, Ding Ning thought about it and called Hou Yang.It's not difficult to say that the framing is difficult, but there is also a doorway inside, and it may be better to have an experienced person to follow, since Hou Yang agreed to be his producer, of course you have to find him for this matter.Although it was not long after school started, Ming'er was a day off, Hou Yang agreed happily, and then asked Ding Ning the question that he had been worried about recently: "Did you find the actor from Brooks over there?"
The doll is easy to find, but the doll that is smooth is difficult to find, Ding Ning has seen several little dolls during this time, and they all feel dissatisfied, and the actor of Brooks has not been decided.He said truthfully: "No, I've seen a few, but I don't like it."
It's either a problem with the language, a problem with the personality, or a lack of looks. ”Hou Yang said: "You have to hurry up, don't you want to finish it before the year, then the preliminary work has to be accelerated."
If you really can't pick the perfect one, then pick a good communication and good acting skills.For other details, such as language or something, just find a fluent match later.Actually, I think it's good to have a doll, why don't you try it. ”"Who" Ding Ning asked.Hou Yang said: "Zhu Sheng, you must know, his daughter-in-law is not an American, his son has been in the battle of father and son, he is very beautiful and a doll, and he can speak Mandarin well."
You have to have the ability to bring his son here, if you can trick his family to run a trick, then at least half of the box office of your film will fall. ”Zhu Sheng is almost Liu Ye in this world, an actor, and his daughter-in-law is an American, his son Julier is indeed quite in line with the requirements in all aspects, and since he became a father and son soldier, he has been quite popular.is a good candidate, but Zhu Sheng doesn't seem to have any intention of letting Julier enter the film industry, and he has just started school, can he agree.No matter what, you must try it first, Ding Ning said: "Yes, why didn't I think of it."
Thank you for reminding me, I'm going to ask. ”To be continued
