The train traveled along the land of Nanhe, first vertically and then horizontally. After walking at a right angle, it headed towards Guanzhong.
Between the two points, the line segment is the shortest, but from Jianghan to Chang'an, you can only take the Beijing-Guangzhou Line and the Longhai Line, and cannot take the Northwest Hubei and Southeast Shaanxi Passage. It was only in later generations that this Shaanxi-Hubei Passage was opened one after another, so
From Chang'an to Jianghan, it saves one-third of the time.
However, these days we can only take a detour to Zhengdu.
After the train entered Luocheng, Anyang suddenly remembered something and asked: "Songshan Shaolin should be here, right?"
"Yes." Lin Xiaoguang was lying lazily on the bed and replied casually. He didn't hear the reply for a long time, so he looked towards her and saw her looking out the window, dazed, and suddenly felt something was not good.
Why are you missing? You don’t want to become a monk, right? Even if you want to be a monk, this is not the right place. You should go to Emei. How can a woman become a monk? Women can only be nuns.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I didn't think about anything." Anyang glanced at him and sighed: "Do you know "Shaolin Temple" that Zhongyuan Film is currently filming?"
Li Lianjie's "Shaolin Temple" was released in mainland China in 1982. With a ticket price of 10 cents, it generated a box office of over 100 million yuan. After that, I don't know how many decades passed before there was a movie with a box office of over 100 million yuan, and it was still an American one.
The movie "Titanic", in 1998, had a box office of 360 million.
Then four years later, Lao Mouzi's Mandarin blockbuster "Hero" came out, generating 250 million in box office, and wiped away the shame of Chinese films.
Lin Xiaoguang knew that "Shaolin Temple" was being filmed. In August last year, the National Sports Commission issued an order and 18 elite martial arts circles gathered at the Zhongzhou Hotel to prepare for the filming of the film.
Then this year, Xiangjiang Great Wall Production merged with Xinlian Pictures to form Zhongyuan Film Production Company, which took over the investment and filming of "Shaolin Temple". Specifically, it seems that it invested 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the mainland and Hong Kong jointly produced it. Now both
It's July, and it seems that it will be released in Hong Kong in January next year.
"What's wrong? You Phoenixes are itchy too?" He smiled and looked at Anyang.
The three major Zuopai Film Companies in Hong Kong, Great Wall, Phoenix and Xinlian, are now merged. Only Phoenix is still independent, but it is not far away. It seems that in November 1983, it merged with Zhongyuan Film to form
The legendary Yindu institution.
This is not the first time that the name Yindu Institution has appeared.
There is Zuopai Film Company in Xiangjiang, as well as Zuopai Cinema Line, Shuangnan Cinema Line, which consists of Nanhua, Yindu, Puqing, Nanyang and other cinemas.
Lin Xiaoguang still doesn't know why Changfeng's new film company was named Yindu and what is involved in it.
"That's not right." He shook his head: "Great Wall mainly produces social realistic Mandarin films, and Xinlian produces family ethics Cantonese films. Aren't you, Phoenix, the main producer of dragon-horse drama Mandarin films? Why, you also want to switch to kung fu films?"
"You just said that Zhongyuan Film can transform, why can't Phoenix?" An Yang was unhappy.
"But what kind of kung fu movie can be made in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes? Chinese Taoist priests versus foreign thieves?"
"Stop being poor and let's get down to business." She rolled her eyes angrily.
"Okay, you say."
"It is the company's mission to go to Dunhuang for inspection. I have to go. However, I really have some other ideas about the movie." An Yang's eyes were shining with light.
"What do you think?" He was a little curious. As a boyfriend or girlfriend, he must support them if they want to do something.
"Phoenix is good at comedy, and I want to write a comedy script."
Lin Xiaoguang immediately thought about it. In terms of Phoenix's creative concept, he mainly focuses on small townspeople and depicts their real life, thoughts and feelings. He is good at creating real social situations, and skillfully explores family, love and other social issues in wonderful stories. Generally speaking,
All the films produced by Phoenix bear this brand.
At the same time, Hong Kong audiences all have this understanding that Phoenix Films is a family movie.
He knows countless martial arts movies, science fiction movies, and supernatural movies, but he is really not familiar with family movies and is somewhat helpless.
"Then do you have any ideas?"
"I have an idea, but it's just an idea. I came up with it on the train." An Yang tilted his head.
"tell me the story?"
"It's probably a travel story."
Travel, or train travel, involves family. When Lin Xiaoguang thought about it, he actually thought of a few movies, such as Director Xu's "囧Mom", which tells the story of a mother and son who boarded a China-Russia train and traveled to Russia for six days and six nights.
Journey, and "The Darjeeling" by old American director Wes Anderson, which tells the story of three brothers who embark on a train journey across India in order to regain their family ties.
He couldn't remember the rest.
The movie "囧Mom" has a Douban score of 5.9, which is relatively reluctant. "The Darjeeling" has a Douban score of 7.7, which seems more appropriate.
The former involves a China-Russia train. Given the current political situation, this film will not pass the review, let alone the audience is from Hong Kong. Even if it is plagiarized, it will have to be significantly revised.
As for the latter, the background of the story is in India, which also needs to be changed.
And the most important point is that Xiangjiang has a lot of people but little land. There is only a section of railway from West Kowloon to Luo Wu Port. It takes a few dozen minutes and more than an hour to get there by train. It can take more than an hour to watch a movie. This small distance is not enough at all.
What kind of train journey is this?
In this way, the background of the story definitely cannot be set in Xiangjiang, it cannot be placed here, it cannot be placed in Taiwan, and it seems that it is not possible in the mainland, so where else can it be placed? Japan? South Korea? Chinatown?
"Any details?"
"No." Anyang shook his head, looked at him, and suddenly smiled: "But there is still a general idea. This is a story about a couple."
After hearing this, he finally understood that the male and female protagonists of the co-authored story were designed by An Yang relying on the two of them.
He immediately shook his head: "It's unreliable, it's too unreliable."
"Why is it unreliable?"
"Movies are more intense, more dramatic, and have more conflicts than novels. Otherwise, if you write a warm and loving love story, if it is too bland and has no explosive points, who will watch it? But if you add conflicts, you can
What to add? Cheating and cheating? Or something else?"
As soon as Anyang heard this, everything suddenly turned cloudy: "What do you mean? What is cheating? What is cheating? Can you please explain clearly?"
If you have to die, die, die, how can it be connected with reality?
"Sister, I'm talking about a movie, not reality. I'm not talking about the two of us." He was about to cry but had no tears.
Anyang's face softened slightly, but she was still a little unhappy. It seemed that this topic aroused something on her mind.
In the second half of the journey, Lin Xiaoguang followed the principle of saying more and making fewer mistakes and not saying anything good, so he didn't speak much. He just looked at the scenery outside the car window and wrote something.
Finally, after more than 20 hours, the train arrived at Chang'an Station.
"It's a sweet train trip for a couple, but I think it's the one who suffers." After getting off the train and seeing Yan Ximing on the platform, he was immediately relieved.
"Brother Ximing, long time no see!"
In the past few years, although Yan Dongming still held the positions of Secretary of the Party Branch of Nanyao Brigade and Director of Nanyao Industrial Factory, his main focus now is in the countryside, and many things are delegated to the people below. As for sales,
Leave it to Yan Ximing, the younger brother.
Yan Ximing has gained some experience now. He is wearing a brand new Chinese tunic suit and looks no different from a young cadre.
"Long time no see!" Yan Ximing smiled brightly: "Let's go out of the station together, there is a car waiting outside."
