Chapter 757: Wine and Meat Friends (4000+ chapters~)
The song "Walking Man" became a GAO trend at the 78th class student gathering.
An excellent song must not only have a beautiful melody, but also have resonant lyrics, and the song "Walking Man" is such a song that can resonate with everyone.
"The first line is about the first half of my life, and it's a long journey..." Chen Kaige sat there and sighed in his heart. Although he didn't ask, Chen Kaige could already conclude that this song was Wu Jianye's.
Newly written songs.
"Old Wu, I'm convinced!" Chen Kaige came to Wu Jianye holding the wine glass and said seriously.
"Drink it after you take it!" Wu Jianye was also very excited at this time and said loudly.
Chen Kaige also had no ink marks. He raised his neck and drank all the beer in his enamel jar.
"But I'm not convinced yet about the movie. Let's wait until the movie is released to watch it!" Chen Kaige finally said.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Okay, but your movie hasn't started shooting yet. Don't wait until my movie is released. It won't be finished yet!"
Chen Kaige smiled and said: "No, I will officially start filming next month!"
Wu Jianye nodded and didn't say much. Zhang Yimou next to him said, "You have to hurry up. I'm still waiting for Ge You and Gong Li!"
At this time, Chen Kaige obviously didn't drink less. He smiled and cursed: "Then continue to wait!"
Zhang Yimou smiled helplessly...
At this time, Feng Xiaoning also came to Wu Jianye's side and said with a smile: "Old Wu, I really didn't expect you to achieve what you have achieved now!"
When they were in the dormitory, Wu Jianye seemed particularly dull in the first two years. In 1980, he suddenly became enlightened, which made Feng Xiaoning a little confused. But in twelve years, Wu Jianye has grown into the world's most popular person.
Feng Xiaoning never expected that he would be among the top directors.
Wu Jianye smiled proudly: "I didn't expect it, that's right!"
Feng Xiaoning rolled her eyes at Wu Jianye and said, "It's a pity that CCTV won't pay to do special effects in your company, otherwise I really want to go to Tangting Culture to do special effects!"
"Beiyang Navy" is produced by the CCTV Film and Television Department. However, in the past two years, CCTV has spent all its money on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The support for "Beiyang Navy" is obviously not enough, which has also led to the failure of this TV series.
After it came out, there was no way to achieve satisfactory results in terms of war or special effects.
Wu Jianye had nothing to do about it. If it was produced with Feng Xiaoning's own investment, Wu Jianye would support it if he should, but now that it is produced by CCTV, there is no need for Wu Jianye to get involved.
"It's okay. Later, if you want to make a movie, you can cooperate with the company!" Wu Jianye patted Feng Xiaoning on the shoulder and said.
Feng Xiaoning only experienced depression for a while, and then he smiled and said: "That's for sure. When I go to find you, you must give me a friendship price!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "I'll give you a brother's price!"
By this time in the party, everyone had almost finished drinking, and many people started walking around to find someone to chat with. After Wu Jianye and Feng Xiaoning chatted for a while, Fang Shu and Shen Yueping came over.
The two of them obviously drank a lot. When Wu Jianye sang just now, the two of them and other female classmates danced in the venue.
"Old Wu, you are not particular. You promised to come to me again if there was a good show, but it has been many years and we have never cooperated again!" Fang Shu said with a smile.
The first film "Raise the Red Lantern" directed by Wu Jianye starred Fang Shu instead of Gong Li.
Shen Jueping also cheered from the side: "Well, at least Fang Shu has acted in one of your movies. It's all thanks to me that you and Linlin were able to get together in the first place!"
Wu Jianye also knew that the two were joking and said: "Who doesn't know that you two are big stars now? How can I dare to look for you without good works?"
Fang Shu and Shen Jueping both rolled their eyes at Wu Jianye.
Shen Jueping asked curiously from the side: "By the way, Lao Wu, your current movie has been completed, and only post-production is left. Do you have any ideas for the new movie?"
When everyone heard Shen Jueping's question, they also came over and looked at Wu Jianye curiously.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "How can it be so fast? You also know that I am relatively slow in making movies. Let's wait until this movie is released!"
When everyone heard what Wu Jianye said, they stopped asking about this topic.
Everyone has their own shooting habits. Wu Jianye is not a prolific film director. The process of making one film a year has been accepted by everyone in the past and considered to be Wu Jianye's habit!
In fact, in the past twelve years, Wu Jianye did not have many works. From 1980 to 1992, Wu Jianye starred in two movies, "Peacock Princess" and "Under the Bridge", and also directed "Red Lantern" Gao Gao Hang", "The Last Emperor", "New Dragon Inn", "The Love of Ghosts", "Jurassic Park", "The World of Chu Xing" six movies, and also guest-starred in an episode of "Qujing Daughter's Country" ", directed a TV series "The Legend of White Snake".
Only 10 works are required to be completed, and this progress is definitely slow.
Among the students of the Class of 1978, several couples got married after graduation.
The same is true for Fang Shu and Chen Guoxing. However, when everyone gathered today, although Fang Shu and Chen Guoxing were still trying hard to act like they were in love, everyone was in this business, so it was obvious that there was a difference between the two. A problem occurred during the period.
But no one said anything. After all, this was their private matter.
The party lasted until past twelve o'clock in the evening. At this time, there were only scattered sparks left in the fire among the people, and the corn stolen by Wu Jianye, Zhang Yimou, and Zhao Fei was shared among everyone.
At the end, Wu Jianye asked everyone to inform the other students who did not come, and agreed that ten years later, all graduates of the 78th class will have a big gathering!
The minibus that used to transport the crew was already waiting at the college. Many people helped each other get on the bus and said they would keep in touch in the future.
Wu Jianye also returned to the courtyard by car.
The next day!
Wu Jianye came to Tangting Culture. Now that the filming of "The World of Chu Xing" has been completed, it is naturally in the post-production stage.
Wu Jianye still did not do the editing himself, but hired Zhao Le, who he had collaborated with before, to edit the movie "The World of Chu Xing".
However, Zhao Lei was previously responsible for editing "The Legend of the White Snake". Although he later participated in the editing of many films of Tangting Culture, Wu Jianye still held a meeting with him to discuss for a long time and stated his requirements.
The two discussed it for two days in total before finalizing the editing plan for "Chu Xing's World".
"Director Wu, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Zhao Le said seriously.
It can be said that now not only domestic actors want to participate in Wu Jianye's movies, but also the people behind the scenes also hope to join Wu Jianye's crew.
Wu Jianye's crew is the Whampoa Military Academy to domestic film and television practitioners. As long as they can participate in Wu Jianye's movies, their identities will immediately become different.
Wu Jianye patted Zhao Le on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Just work hard for the rest of the time. I have some other things to do here. When I'm done, I'll come over and take a look!"
Zhao Le said quickly: "Okay!"
What Wu Jianye said was actually that Chen Ming was getting married!
Chen Ming has been drifting outside for so many years, and now he has finally made up his mind and is ready to get married. Wu Jianye had promised Chen Ming back then that he would definitely attend his wedding.
Chen Ming's wedding was divided into two weddings, one in Yanjing and one in Shanghai!
After Wu Jianye had a meeting with Zhao Le, he went to Chen Ming's courtyard house!
It was still the same courtyard house that Zhao Lei gave him when he came out.
The yard is not big, but I don’t know if they learned from Wu Jianye. They both like to have a big tank in their yard and raise two turtles.
When Wu Jianye came to the courtyard, he saw Zhao Lei sitting in the courtyard and sulking!
Seeing Wu Jianye walking in, Zhao Lei quickly stood up and said: "Brother, please advise Chen Ming. This bastard actually wants to set up a few tables in Yanjing and invite our families to sit together.
Even if it’s a wedding!”
At this time, Chen Ming walked out of the room with a proud smile and said with a smile: "I am getting married, not you. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhao Lei said: "It's different for you to get married than to get married to me. We don't have any errands, so why are you so stingy!"
"Okay, Chen Ming hasn't said what's going on, and you're getting mad here. Let's listen to what Chen Ming said first!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
After finishing speaking, Wu Jianye sat next to Zhao Lei.
After the three of them sat down, Zhao Lei asked anxiously: "Tell me, why did you do that?"
Chen Ming asked calmly: "Why can't I do this?"
Zhao Lei was speechless......
Then Chen Mingcai smiled and explained: "If you want to find someone, I can naturally do it. If you simply find someone to attend the wedding, I can make the wedding have more people than when you got married, but it's not interesting!
"
Zhao Lei muttered: "Are you saying that my marriage is boring?"
Chen Ming said with a smile: "Do you think you know it yourself? Yu Li doesn't have any friends in Yanjing. You also know the situation here. If we have friends, can those from the past be considered friends?"
"There are some things that I didn't say before, but it doesn't mean that I don't understand them in my heart. When nothing happened, I was pretty good, but so what. When I came out, you were the only one to pick me up. Angkor was willing to help me.
, if it were not for Angkor, I might be pedaling a tricycle on the street now..."
"Don't talk about the past anymore!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Chen Ming continued: "Brother Angkor, I actually know in my heart that if Leizi and I hadn't been able to meet you, the best situation we could have now would be to ride a three-wheeler. How could we have our current status?
When I went in, I always thought, I should be very good, but people..."
Having said this, Chen Ming took out a cigarette and handed one to Zhao Lei. He knew that Wu Jianye had quit smoking now, so he lit it without asking Wu Jianye.
He continued: "This person, only after experiencing something, can he know who is the most important person around him, and can he truly see what kind of situation he is in."
"Now they all know that I am hanging out in Shanghai, and there are more people calling me, telling me about our friendship, the happy days in the past, and how many years we have been friends with each other. In fact,
To put it bluntly, don’t you think I have some ability now and want to continue to benefit from it?”
"What do I ask people like this to do? Aren't they going to cause trouble for themselves?"
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "I understand what you mean. In fact, this person still needs to have some fair-weather friends. It's good for everyone to eat and drink on weekdays. At least when you are depressed, you can have some people around you.
I'll accompany you to relieve your boredom!"
Chen Ming looked at Wu Jianye with some confusion and asked, "Brother, didn't you say that before?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "As you said, people will always grow up, and some of their ideas will change when they grow up. Of course, even now I don't agree with what you did at the time. I
When we talk about fair-weather friends, there should be no profit relationship involved."
"On weekdays, I just eat and drink with you. What were you doing back then? You mistook fair-weather friends for close friends. You don't need to have many close friends. Two or three are enough. But everyone
Everyone has their own circle. For example, if you have a bad day, I happen to be in the United States, and Lei Zi is in Xiangjiang, and you want to find someone to drink and chat with again, what should you do?"
"Actually, this is the time when your fair-weather friends need to show up. In fact, you don't have to think about why they come to drink with you. As long as they can get rid of your worries!"
Chen Ming and Zhao Lei nodded together, and Chen Ming said: "Well, I know, brother, but I'm not in Yanjing all year round. It doesn't matter whether I have friends here or not, and Yu Li's arrangements for me are quite good.
Satisfied, as for the wedding in Shanghai, because we have to take care of Yu Li’s family, it will definitely be a big one, so it’s better to keep it simple here!”
Wu Jianye didn't have any objections to this. Just as he said when he first came in, this is Chen Ming's wedding, so he can do whatever he wants!
At their current position, they no longer need to consider unnecessary things.
"Where's Yu Li?" Wu Jianye decisively changed the subject.
Chen Ming smiled and said: "I'm going to find my sister-in-law. She doesn't have many friends in Yanjing. It's just a good time for her to learn more from her!"
Chen Ming came to Yanjing three days ago and had already taken Yu Li to visit Zhu Xie in the courtyard. Because Yu Li is also an actor, she and Zhu Xie still have some common topics!
Of course, she also went to Zhao Lei's home, but because Chen Ming didn't like Chai Ou very much, Yu Li didn't have much contact with Chai Ou.
