The conversation has gone too far, and the camera returns to Sun Dahai's home on the night of the tenth day of the lunar month.
Ren Kuang and Sun Dahai were chatting about which restaurant was more delicious, Donglaishun or Jubaoyuan, when the phone rang.
Sun Dahai picked up the phone and found out that Zhang Yimou had arrived in the capital. He was now in the dormitory of his classmates at the Capital Film Studio. He told Sun Dahai that he had already contacted him, and he would personally take Ren Kuei to visit the film school tomorrow morning.
.
Of course, Sun Dahai would not let Zhang Yimou come over tomorrow morning to take over. He asked for the address and asked Erpang to drive with them tomorrow morning.
The next day was Saturday, and Sun Dahai went to school early in the morning. Before leaving, he asked Ren Kuei to tell Zhang Yimou that tomorrow was a day off, and he would invite him to his house for dinner.
On Sunday morning, Zhang Yimou came to No. 10, Xihuangchenggen. When shooting a wedding a few years ago, it was Gu Changwei who came to Sun's house. Zhang Yimou went to Bruce Lee's place to follow the shooting, so this was his first time to Sun Dahai's house. Battle morning
I drove him here.
Sun Dahai didn't go to pick it up in person because he had to cook at home. Today's main course is turtle.
As of this year, Shiweitian Company has sponsored the "Rice Field Three-dimensional Farming" research group of the Agricultural University for four consecutive years. In 1911, Cao Yue used Cao Yong's money to sponsor it in a private form.
Starting from 2 years ago, Shiweitian Company replaced Cao Yue, who was about to graduate, and signed a long-term sponsorship agreement with Agricultural University to continue sponsoring this project.
Although this scientific research team has changed many people, the project has been retained and has achieved remarkable results. Fish, shrimp, crabs and frogs have been raised in rice fields, and certain research results have been achieved.
After Shiweitian intervened, the scientific research team with stable sponsorship expanded the experimental area. Under Sun Dahai's suggestion, a higher-cost turtle breeding project in rice fields was added.
Since the rice harvest last year, soft-shelled turtles that have grown for more than three years have been caught one after another. According to experts from the scientific research team, experts from the scientific research team estimate that the most cost-effective period for raising soft-shelled turtles in rice fields is three to four years.
During the Spring Festival this year, in addition to ribs, elbows and pork belly, everyone in the company received soft-shell turtle, grass carp, etc., which shows that the company's sponsorship is worth every penny.
When Zhang Yimou was walking in the yard, Sun Dahai was handling turtles in the kitchen. Today he prepared two turtles, each weighing three kilograms, which can be steamed and stewed separately, and can also be used to make soup. The deadly rich family, the exclusive cuteness of the president
wife
After Sun Dahai greeted Zhang Yimou, he asked Cao Yue and Fang Lin, who had come over to eat, to accompany him to chat with Ren Kuehui, and then he went back to the kitchen to work.
Zhang Guozheng and Gao Yi were peeling off the sandy skin from the turtles. Both turtles had been killed. Sun Dahai came back and cut the turtles into pieces in a few strokes.
Except for the gallbladder, the rest of the internal organs of the turtle are useful and must be thrown away. This gallbladder is not soaked in wine to drink, but the bile is used to remove the fishy smell of the turtle.
When you take apart the turtles, you can see that there is a lot of yellow oil on many turtles. This is the source of the fish's fishy smell and must be dealt with cleanly.
When Sun Dahai eats out, he usually doesn't order dishes like braised turtle or spicy turtle, because he is afraid that restaurants will be lazy and not clean the turtle oil, but instead cover it up with seasonings.
Sun Dahai cut the prepared turtles into pieces and put them into a large basin. Then he squeezed the bile from the two gallbladders into a bowl, diluted it with water, poured it into the basin, and mixed it evenly with the turtle meat pieces.
This is, Zhang Yujie, Gao Zhihui came back with Sun Yuanyuan, Sun Dahe, and two dogs. They went to Mr. Huang's backyard to walk the dogs.
Zhang Yujie's family went back to her hometown for the Spring Festival and didn't come back until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, just in time for the start of school.
Mr. Huang went to a gathering with his old comrades today, so he did not come over. He has eaten a lot of soft-shelled turtles during this period. Although it is rich in nutritional value, Sun Dahai did not dare to let him eat it too frequently. There are many parasites in soft-shelled turtles, so the old man
Eating soft-shelled turtles should be done in moderation.
In the living room, Ren Kuang, Cao Yue and Zhang Yimou were chatting happily. After work, Cao Yue's biggest hobby was watching movies. She was very happy to listen to the serious actors and photographers telling anecdotes about the filming process.
.
When several young people came back, they naturally joined the audience. In an era when entertainment was scarce, making movies was still very mysterious and attractive to ordinary people.
Zhang Yimou graduated from the Capital Film Academy with a serious academic background. Like the current mainstream domestic concepts, his understanding of movies is closer to the style of European movies, and he has taken the direction of film art.
Yam Kuang was born in a TVB artist training class and has been making films in Hong Kong. Now he has studied in the United States for a year and is closer to the idea of commercializing films.
When the two visited the film school yesterday, they discussed some concepts endlessly. Although they have different understandings, they are not rigid-minded people. They are willing to listen to different opinions to improve themselves. The Myth of the Peak of Jianghu
Zhang Yimou hopes to participate in the filming of "Heroes Are True" because he actually wants to join the team and experience the production process of Hong Kong movies firsthand. You must know that the Hong Kong film industry at this time is still very powerful.
The script of "A Better Tomorrow" has basically been completed. The film is scheduled to be shot in the middle of the year. The specific time has not yet been determined. It will mainly be determined according to the schedule adjustment of Fa Ge and Hong Gu.
The shooting time is expected to be one month, and with not much post-production, if everything goes well, A Better Tomorrow will be released in time for this year's Christmas period.
Xiangjiang filmmakers are very accustomed to this kind of rhythm, but Zhang Yimou was stunned by it. Compared with domestic movies, Xiangjiang movies are really efficient.
The film's budget is HK$5 million, of which the cast and crew's salaries account for half. The actual shooting and post-production costs are HK$2 million, and there are also HK$500,000 in publicity expenses.
Speaking of which, such an investment can really be considered a large-scale production. Except for co-productions that are to be released in the United States, Hong Kong films rarely have such large investments.
Sun Dahai actually wanted to invest more money to make this classic movie more perfect, but he was dissuaded by Shi Nansheng. Because too much money is of little use, and the special effects of movies in this era are far from the level of a gold-eating beast.
The director and several main actors had already been decided. After Tsui Hark helped Wu Yusen revise the script, his interest greatly increased and he took the initiative to serve as a producer. As investors, Shi Nansheng, Qiao Hongwei and Ren Tuwei will all be named as the producers of the film.
.
In fact, Sun Dahai also hesitated whether to take on the title of producer of "Heroes", but in the end he gave up and settled down to continue his obscene development.
Earlier, Zhang Yimou sent to Xiangjiang the video tapes of the movie One and One that he shot the year before and some short films he shot. After Tsui Hark and Wu Yusen saw it, they already approved Zhang Yimou to be the film's photographer.
However, in order to be able to be screened in Wanwan and participate in the selection of the Golden Horse Awards, as agreed in advance, they asked New Art City photographer Huang Yongheng to be named as the director of photography, ahead of Zhang Yimou.
