Chapter 499 The Great Wall

Zhang Yimou did not expect that the trial of "Old Cannon" would encounter so many twists and turns. He thought that at most, it would be the second trial, but he did not expect that he would go through the third trial and fourth trial later. He called the current version a pure version, and Jingshua was basically purified. When Lao Mouzi cut the fourth version, he even had the idea of ​​giving up. Even when he collaborated with Xinhua in the past, films like "Three Guns" were easily passed.

Zhang Yimou's trust in Huanshi has caused a serious crisis. He realized that Huanshi is not as good as they claim, at least not like this in the film and television industry. Huanshi is just a latecomer. They give themselves such generous conditions, ultimately they have to use their popularity to make money.

Thinking of the betting agreement between him and Huanshi, Zhang Yimou was inevitably worried about the future prospects.

After Zhang Hehuan completed the scenes of "The Wheel of Taiping", he came to the capital. The purpose of this time was to watch the final version cut by Lao Mouzi.

Zhang Hanyu and Cheng Daoming also came to watch the film that day. After watching the video, Zhang Hanyu said, "Director Zhang, is this film too elegant?"

Zhang Yimou smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way, everything is for passing the trial."

Cheng Daoming said: "I don't feel that the standard is so strict, right?" Turning to Zhang Hehuan, he said: "It's different from your original notebook, right?"

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "I used to be tap water, but now I am pure water, which has been filtered through triple filtering."

Zhang Yimou said: "This metaphor is appropriate." Several people laughed.

Zhang Hanyu said: "In fact, the review is just a formality. As long as there are no excessive pornographic scenes in the movie, there should be no big problem. In our film, we should generally be good, punish evil and promote good, and evil do not suppress justice."

Zhang Yimou said: "The review means that the protagonist of our video is not a positive energy type."

Cheng Daoming said: "But with this cut, I always feel that something is missing? Huanzi, tell me."

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "A few seniors are here, so I have no say."

Zhang Yimou said: "You are the screenwriter and the producer, of course you are qualified to say...

Zhang Hehuan said: "I feel like I've cut it a little too much, too."

Zhang Yimou sighed and said, "Actually, my favorite is the first version. The matters submitted for trial are all responsible for Huanshi. I didn't expect it to be delayed until the fourth trial."

Zhang Hanyu said: "If you can't find any connection with Huanshi?"

Zhang Yimou said: "I have said that Huanshi several times, and they have found all the relationships they can find, otherwise the review would not be possible."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Huanshi said this. I was not doing things well, and it was blamed on my script." He actually had some news about it. Huanshi complained that Director Zhang chose this movie because of the review, and also said that there are problems with the three views of the movie "Old Cannon".

Director Zhang smiled and said, "They didn't complain." In fact, they complained a lot.

Zhang Hehuan said: "I think I can get another version to send it."

Zhang Yimou said: "If you cut it again, you will be unrecognizable."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Why don't you send the first version again?"

Zhang Yimou looked at him strangely.

Zhang Hehuan held this idea and contacted Qiao Shengtian, who was also a shareholder of the New Star Domain. He heard that "Old Cannon" had not been submitted for review for four times, and couldn't help laughing.

In Qiao Shengtian's opinion, this is because of the failure to do the work in Happiness. China is a society of personal relationships. As long as it is reviewed by humans, there is no fixed and unified standard. Moreover, the film "Old Cannon" is not a pornographic and there is no need to exaggerate it.

Qiao Shengtian took this matter down, and Zhang Hehuan asked Director Zhang to submit the most satisfactory first version as a modified version to review.

Not many negative versions are re-sent, which means that the experts in charge of the review will overturn the previous results, which is more difficult than the previous ones.

Qiao Shengtian also used his greatest energy this time, and the trial was successfully passed.

What makes all the main creators of the film happy is that the film keeps the original flavor to the greatest extent, and this incident also shows the incompetence of HuanTV Pictures.

Because of the trial, Zhang Hehuan made a special trip to invite Qiao Shengtian to have a meal. Qiao Shengtian called his brother-in-law Xue Chunhua. This time, Xue Chunhua helped him a lot.

During the meal, Xue Chunhua revealed an important news to Zhang Hehuan. The review of "Old Cannon" encountered problems, not only because Huanshi did not come in place, but also because someone reported "Old Cannon".

Qiao Shengtian sighed: "In the past, I just heard that the film and television industry was in a dark place, but now I know that there is no bottom line in doing things in this circle."

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "Isn't this the case in your investment circle?"

Xue Chunhua said: "A gentleman loves money and gets it well. Real investors are disdainful to do this by stabbing the knife in the back." He took a sip of wine and said: "Are you interested in knowing who stabbed you in the back?"

Zhang Hehuan shook his head.

This was a bit beyond Xue Chunhua's expectations. He praised: "Huanzi's pattern is getting bigger and bigger. By the way, I have something I want to ask you for help."

Zhang Hehuan is still very familiar with Xue Chunhua. He has never been an emotional person. He will not help others for nothing. As long as he pays, he will definitely be rewarded. However, such a person is easy to get along with, and Zhang Hehuan doesn't want to owe him. If he wants to repay favors now, he will be happy to do so.

Xue Chunhua said: "Universal Pictures gave a script, and they really wanted Ling Tiantian to play the leading role."

Zhang Hehuan couldn't help laughing when he heard him say this. Global is not interested in Ling Tiantian's acting skills, they are attracted by Xue Chunhua's investment. Xue Chunhua spared no effort to support Ling Tiantian, and spent a lot of money in the past two years.

Guya

"Oh? What script?"

Xue Chunhua said: "I have read the script of "The Great Wall". I am fucking writing. They want Director Zhang to direct this movie. I have talked to Huanshi, so the problem should not be big."

Zhang Hehuan sighed in her heart that this was going to cheat the national teacher. Although the movie "The Great Wall" invested a huge amount and invited many Hollywood celebrities to serve as a foil for Ling Tiantian, it ended in a bleak ending.

Because Zhang Yimou signed a contract with Huanshi, according to the agreement, it was impossible for him to refuse such a project.

Xue Chunhua said: "I want you to help revise the script."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Brother Hua, this seems to be unruly, right?" After all, Xinxingyuan did not intervene in this project.

Xue Chunhua said: "Where are any rules?"

Qiao Shengtian said: "Yes, rules are determined by people. Whoever pays more will be the rules."

Xue Chunhua said: "I understand. You are ridiculing me as stupid as you are a fool."

"If you are stupid, there will be no smart people in this world."

Xue Chunhua has other things to do, so he leaves early.

After he left, Zhang Hehuan told Qiao Shengtian: "The Great Wall is a project jointly organized by Global and Huanshi. Will it make people feel unhappy if I help revise the script?"

Qiao Shengtian said: "Originally, he wanted to give this project to the New Star Domain, so he came back to me. He sent hundreds of millions to support Ling Tiantian. What's wrong with Hollywood? Isn't Hollywood without bad movies?"

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "You can help me escape the disaster, let alone, your brother-in-law is really a love saint. He spent a lot of money on Ling Tiantian."

Qiao Shengtian sighed and said, "I didn't hear any noise when I spent so much. I have to pay for this "Great Wall". He probably had a premonition, otherwise he wouldn't ask you to help revise the script."

Zhang Hehuan said: "This book is not easy to change, I'll help me change it." After all, I owe Xue Chunhua a favor.

Qiao Shengtian nodded.

Zhang Hehuan said: "How is Uncle Qiao's health?"

Qiao Shengtian said: "I heard that I have been discharged from the hospital."

Zhang Hehuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Qiao Shengtian had not visited him. It seemed that the two men and women had a deep enough conflict, otherwise they would not have been hospitalized by their father, and he would not have gone to the bed to greet him.

"Have Shengnan contacted you recently?"

Zhang Hehuan nodded and said, "Contact, I sent a message yesterday."

Qiao Shengtian said: "Come back soon?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "It's said it's next week, and everything goes well this time."

Qiao Shengtian glanced at him and said, "She is so nice to you."

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "I'm not bad to you."

"Get out!" Qiao Shengtian heard that this guy was deliberately changing the topic.

Chang Zhao, CEO of HuanTV Pictures, heard that the fifth edition had successfully passed the trial, so he contacted Zhang Yimou and planned to form a bureau to celebrate. The national teacher was not very interested in the matter of submitting the trial this time, so he replied directly.

Chang Zhao also knew some of the inside stories of the fifth trial, so he went to see the national teacher in person.

Zhang Yimou is a workaholic. After "Old Cannon" was reviewed, he immediately began to prepare for the filming of "Return". These days, he reexamined his cooperation with Huanshi. Director Zhang realized that he was eager to get rid of the bondage of the new paintings, but he was still not rigorous enough when inspecting the partners. Huanshi's strength was not as powerful as they claimed.

The two talked about the review, and Zhang Yimou pointed out in a slight way that Zhang Hehuan came forward to help. As the boss of Fantasy Films, Chang Zhao was inevitably embarrassed. Although Zhang Yimou had room to speak, he still showed dissatisfaction with their team.

Chang Zhao said: "Good things will be harder. The next step is to schedule films and promote promotions. We will do our best to do this."

Zhang Yimou said: "The current version of "Old Cannon" is actually the first version. I am quite satisfied with it. I believe there will be no problems at the box office."

Chang Zhao smiled and said, "We have always had confidence in Director Zhang."

Zhang Yimou said: "I can only check the quality of the video. The specific promotion and screening are not the areas I am good at. I believe Huanshi will do it well."

Chang Zhao nodded repeatedly: "It must, it must." The fool could also see that Director Zhang Da had a crisis of trust in Huanshi because of this trial incident.

Zhang Yimou said: "The Return is officially launched next month. Do you have any suggestions?"

Chang Zhao said: "Have you read the notebook given by Global Times?"
