Tangting Culture, there is a small rest room in Wu Jianye's office.
Because the entire three floors have been purchased by Hanshui Beverage, in order to allow Tangting Culture to have a quieter office environment, there are no other companies on the other floors.
When he just went to work in the morning, Wu Jianye had just sent the excited Yang Zhun away and was about to take a good rest. As a result, Zhao Baogang came to Tangting Culture excitedly.
Apparently the news had been obtained from Zheng Xiaolong.
"Behind-the-scenes team, you have to find a way to find someone. As an actor, you can discuss it with Zuo'er and you two. Then give me a budget for the shooting. When the shooting is over, tell Xiaolong, please go out and turn right now. I won't say goodbye!"
Zhao Baogang walked out of Wu Jianye's office with a black question mark on his face. He walked out like this without saying a word?
Is it that easy to make a TV series?
After thinking for a while, Zhao Baogang went to find Zheng Xiaolong again.
"Brother Long, why does this seem so unreliable? Aren't you making fun of me?" Zhao Baogang looked at Zheng Xiaolong with suspicion.
Zheng Xiaolong was also slightly startled: "Who will tease you when you have nothing to do? What's wrong?"
Zhao Baogang then told Zheng Xiaolong what had just happened to him at Tangting Culture.
"Teacher Wu asked you to leave, and you left?" Zheng Xiaolong looked at Zhao Baogang helplessly.
"Yes, why am I so stupid?" After saying this, Zhao Baogang turned around and went to find Wu Jianye again.
"Okay, Lao Wu, let me prepare it by myself. Just prepare it by yourself. I probably drank too much last night and am sobering up now. Even if you go there, you won't be able to find out anything. Let's go find Zuo'er first and get the budget."
, and then go to Teacher Wu to ask for money. If you have any questions, we can talk about it later!" Zheng Xiaolong suggested.
"That's it, then let's do this for now, I'll go find Teacher Liang."
After all, this TV series was Zhao Baogang's first TV series, so naturally he took it very seriously and went to find Liang Zuo again.
.......
Wang Shuo's pride in treating guests to dinner is still there, but Wu Jianye no longer participates.
Just two days ago, he personally saw off Yang Zhun at Yanjing Railway Station. At the same time, Yang Zhun took away a check of one million.
When someone leaves, someone comes.
Zhang Li came, and at the same time Chen Guoxing came with Zhang Li.
Not only Zhang Li was assigned to Xiaoying Studio, but also Chen Guoxing. When Chen Guoxing found out that Zhang Li was going to participate in the post-production of "The Last Emperor" as an assistant director, he directly called Wu Jianye.
No matter what, I must take this opportunity to return to Yanjing.
Wu Jianye said, "I am missing a scriptwriter and a stage manager. If you don't mind, come over."
In this way, Chen Guoxing followed Zhang Li back to Yanjing.
At the same time, there was also good news. News came from the Ministry of Culture. After several months of internal meetings and discussions, they finally approved the application for the film "The Last Emperor" to be filmed in the Temple of Supreme Harmony. However, the crew had to pay for the Forbidden City.
500,000 in damages.
In fact, it is equivalent to the insurance premium for future generations.
Wu Jianye naturally had no objection to this.
However, for "The Last Emperor", this is just the first step of a long journey of thousands of miles, and there are still many troublesome things to prepare for.
For a movie like "The Last Emperor", in later generations, it is estimated that a few people will start filming as soon as they join together. However, Wu Jianye asked for high-quality products, so naturally he could not be so hasty. He had high expectations for this movie.
, not lower than the original "Raise the Red Lantern", or even higher.
After all, the movie "Raise the Red Lantern" ruined a lot of his plans because of Sun Jiarui, and now he can only make up for it with "The Last Emperor".
For the sake of its artistry and historical reliability, Wu Jianye would invite some seniors to join in as art directors and historical consultants. At the same time, in order to photograph the real Puyi, Wu Jianye would also invite Puyi's half-brother Pujie and half-mother.
Younger brother Pu Ren appears as a special adviser in the film.
In fact, in Bertolucci's version of "The Last Emperor", Pu Jie was also invited, but Bertolucci added Pu Jie more as a gimmick. As for Pu Jie's opinions, Bertolucci
Qi is just listening.
No. 11, Yangfang Hutong!
In a simple courtyard, Wu Jianye and two old people were sitting in the west wing.
Now that we have entered November, the weather in Sijiu City is getting colder and colder.
There is only a simple round table and a few stools in the room, but the words hanging on the wall are a bit impressive.
Lijiacai Pujie
The current Li family cuisine is not as prestigious as it was in the late 1980s. Just last month at the National Day Family Banquet Invitational held in China, Li Shanlin sent his daughter Li Li to compete. As soon as Li Li appeared, she won
One person can cook fourteen dishes in two hours. He has excellent knife skills, skilled techniques, steaming, cooking and frying, and is proficient in everything.
The dishes had a unique taste and the presentation was unique and elegant. In the end, the young Li Li stood out among more than 2,800 contestants and won the championship.
This battle made Li Jiacai famous and aroused surprise from all sides.
After winning the award, Li Shanlin's old neighbors persuaded him to open a restaurant. Li Shanlin had this idea for a long time. Coupled with the current changes in domestic policies, Li Shanlin obtained the business license a few days ago and officially opened Li's Restaurant.
Shop sign.
"Old sir, your words are vigorous and powerful, which is really good!" Wu Jianye said to Pu Jie.
Today Wu Jianye invited two brothers, Pu Jie and Pu Ren.
After the two brothers heard Wu Jianye's intention, they knew that Wu Jianye wanted to make a movie about his brother's life experience. Although they looked at Wu Jianye's youth, they felt a little contemptuous at first, but after Wu Jianye finished speaking,
After they had some thoughts about the movie and Puyi, the two of them did not refuse as before.
It was also Pu Jie who brought Wu Jianye over to the Li family.
"It's just a game for free. Xiao Wu, sit down. Don't think that Lao Li is a mathematics professor. In fact, cooking is his specialty."
Pu Jie greeted Wu Jianye, and at this time Li Shanlin, the owner of Lijia Cuisine, also walked in.
Li Shanlin, Pu Jie, and Pu Ren are also old acquaintances, and Li Shanlin's identity before the cook is actually a mathematics professor. A professor who doesn't want to be a cook is not a good leader!
Li Shanlin is also a bannerman. As for the origin of Li family cuisine, we can actually trace it back to his grandfather Li Zijia.
Li Zijia was the governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the Tongzhi and Guangxu years of the Qing Dynasty, and was deeply trusted by Cixi.
At that time, the daily menu in the imperial dining room was approved by his grandfather Li Zijia. He tasted every meal that Cixi and the emperor ate before serving it.
Li Zijia kept every recipe in mind and wrote it down one by one after returning home. In his later years, he compiled a set of recipes and passed them on to his son Li Junfeng. Li Shanlin received the royal recipe from his father.
So some people call Li family cuisine Cixi cuisine.
This set of recipes contains 180 kinds of royal dishes. After Li Shanlin inherited the skills passed down from his ancestors, he combined his own experience with continuous innovation, and today's Li family cuisine is born.
At this time, Li Shanlin had already started to serve them. The first dish was side dishes: fried salty sauce, cucumbers, shrimps, celery, mustard greens, Yanjing bacon, phoenix, dried chicken, amber, peach kernels, osmanthus, candied lotus root, roses and dates, fried red fruits...
Every side dish is very exquisite and very different from ordinary restaurants.
Wu Jianye was such a gluttonous person that after taking a bite of Yanjing bacon, he immediately gave Li Shanlin a thumbs up.
"Lao Li, your craftsmanship is amazing!"
Li Shanlin smiled and said, "As long as you like it, sit down first and I'll prepare other dishes for you."
Then Li Li served one dish after another, including emerald tofu, braised shark's fin, white grilled abalone, soft-fried scallops, live fish, roasted duck in sauce, agar-agar in clear soup, fish, egg, chicken soup, scrambled egg custard, walnut sweet cheese...
Wu Jianye's index finger moved. For a moment, he didn't talk to Pu Jie and Pu Ren about the movie, but kept moving his chopsticks.
It’s not like Wu Jianye has never tasted Lijia cuisine before, but this is the first time for him to have such authentic Lijia cuisine.
In later generations, Li's cuisine has long since left Yangfang Hutong and spread to all over the world. It has become an indispensable part of the Chinese food culture.
With the popularity of Li's cuisine, this place has become the first choice for almost all foreign celebrities who come to Yanjing. However, Li's cuisine is unique and they only serve one table a week, regardless of whether you are the president of the country or the president of the country. The ambassador of any country must make a reservation if he wants to eat.
A perfect classic template for food web articles......
Seeing that Wu Jianye had almost finished eating, Pujie smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Wu, how is it here?"
Wu Jianye gave a thumbs up: "I didn't say anything!"
"Haha." Pu Jie and Pu Ren laughed.
"I wrote this for this old boy because it tasted like my childhood!" Pu Jie said with a happy smile.
This is the legendary pretending to be invisible...
After almost eating, Wu Jianye continued to invite Pu Jie and Pu Ren to serve as life consultants for his movie. As Pu Yi's brothers, they must be very familiar with Pu Yi's daily living habits, so with their joining, they will be more interested in the future. A good restoration of that history is of great help.
"...Well, since Xiao Wu you are sincere, our brothers will agree to you, but before that you must agree to us on one condition!" Pu Jie and Pu Ren were finally persuaded by Wu Jianye Moved.
"You two, please tell me!"
"Try to restore the history of that era as much as possible, don't make the characters look like characters, and don't make any messy things. If you agree to everything, the two of us will agree with you!"
"There is no problem, but you two, you also know that I am making a movie, and there will definitely be some artistic processing." Looking at their somewhat unhappy expressions, Wu Jianye immediately said: "But don't worry, it will definitely not happen. A real departure from that history.”
In the end, Pu Jie and Pu Ren agreed to Wu Jianye's invitation and became special consultants for the movie "The Last Emperor".
After taking care of these two people, Wu Jianye returned to the Film School non-stop and came to the office of Vice Dean Zhao Ming.
"Old Dean, you have to help me with this!"
Zhao Ming was wearing glasses and holding a pen in his hand. He was sitting on his office chair and was stunned by Wu Jianye's confused words.
"What did you say? What happened?"
"Hey, old dean, you also know that I am currently preparing for the movie "The Last Emperor"..." Wu Jianye then explained his purpose. It turned out that he invited Zhao Ming to be the director of "The Last Emperor".
》The film’s art director.
As an older generation of film practitioners, Zhao Ming has directed many classic films such as "The Wanderings of Sanmao" and "Railway Guerrillas", all of which were written by him.
He has a very high reputation in the country and also has huge official influence. The most important thing is that director Zhao Ming has a very long life. He was born in 1915 and was still alive when Wu Jianye was reborn...
...
"Didn't you brag so loudly with China Film Group back then? Why do you need an art director now?" Zhao Ming made a joke about Wu Jianye.
As the deputy dean of Yanjing Film Academy, and Wu Jianye is a director who came out of their academy and won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, Zhao Ming has always admired Wu Jianye.
"Old Dean, you can't say that. If you have an old man in your family, it's like having a treasure. With you, I feel confident. You don't want me to have the right to direct this movie that I fought so hard for. In the end, because I'm young,
, and something went wrong, right? Then our college will also be embarrassed."
After glancing at Zhao Ming, Wu Jianye acted like a rogue and said, "Anyway, if you don't agree, I won't leave today!"
Zhao Ming looked at Wu Jianye helplessly: "You are also an international director, so you can't be formal."
"As long as you agree to be my art director, I will be ready!" Wu Jianye said lazily.
"When is the movie going to start shooting?" Zhao Ming asked.
Wu Jianye was overjoyed, knowing that Zhao Ming had agreed, and quickly said: "It should be the end of next year. You also know that the scenes of this movie are very grand, and the selection and training of actors will take a long time.
a period of time."
Zhao Ming nodded: "A movie of this type does require a long preparation time, okay, I know about this."
"Hey, Dean, we've settled this matter!"
"Why, you still don't believe me, do you want me to sign a contract with you too?" Zhao Ming joked.
"No, no, I still don't believe you, Dean!" Wu Jianye said quickly.
"You can't be the only one looking for this movie, right?" Zhao Ming asked.
"Hey, I can't hide anything from you. I have asked the two brothers Pu Jie and Pu Ren before. They have agreed to serve as special consultants for this film. At the same time, I also want to invite teachers Tang Xiaodan, Lin Nong, and Cen as art directors.
Teacher Fan and Teacher Li Yundong share the responsibility and are also responsible for me!"
Tang Xiaodan has been introduced by Wu Jianye at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards ceremonies before. As for Lin Nong and Cen Fan, they are actually directors of the same period as Zhao Ming. Their artistic accomplishments and influence in the country
The power is top notch.
It can be said that if they were placed in later generations, their status would be higher than that of Zhang Yimou and others at that time.
The most important thing is that these people are no longer just film directors. They have a strong influence on the entire domestic film hierarchy. It can be said that many senior officials from China Film and the Ministry of Culture are their apprentices...
