Chapter 358: Really old
Chapter 358: Really old
After living in Lu Chen and Chen Feier's home for five days, Tian Tian left the capital and returned to Hangzhou.
When she came to Beijing, she came out with the idea of avoiding trouble. When she went back, she was dreaming of entrepreneurship and was determined to do her career with great enthusiasm.
With Lu Chen's suggestion and Chen Feier's support, Tian Tian decided to open a media company in Hangzhou, mainly engaged in the production of variety and entertainment programs. The first project of the new company is "China's good voice."
Lu Chen and Chen Feier each invested a portion of the funds to become a shareholder of the media company.
On May 7th, the day before the launching ceremony of "Full House", Lu Chen, at the invitation of Chen Jianhao, went to visit Zhang Wentian, the great director who was recuperating in Beijing.
Zhang Wentian is one of the representatives of the third generation of domestic directors. In the 1990s, he directed two major dramas, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Water Margin. At that time, he created a record of TV drama ratings.
The director also has to shoot a lot of costumes and films that are good at history and military subjects. He has won many prestigious awards in the industry and enjoys a high reputation.
Last year, Zhang Wentian was preparing a historical blockbuster. At that time, Lu Chen met the director with the introduction of Chen Jianhao. He got a recognition from the other side and a small supporting role with a man.
However, the time has passed, and now Lu Chen is not the original small artist who just debuted, but Zhang Wentian’s work of the mountain has been delayed, until recently, there was a conflict with the employer, which led to the news of a new abortion.
Zhang Wentian also lived in the hospital for a few days because of illness. This incident has been raging in the circle.
After leaving the hospital, the big director refused all media interviews and rested in his old house.
Chen Jianhao called Lu Chen and invited him to visit the father.
Lu Chen certainly did not refuse.
Zhang Wentian's old house is located in the old city. It is an independent courtyard house. This residence has become an out-of-print existence in the capital. The price is at least 100 million yuan, and there is no price.
When Chen Jianhao and Lu Chen came over, it was Qin Qing who opened the door for the two.
Lu Chen had never seen the Jingyin school flower for a while. Last year, he often ran to Jingyin’s class to listen to it. From time to time, he could see Qin Qing’s chat, but since he started filming, Jingyin Basically, there is no way to go. Now I can't find time to charge.
So when I saw Qin Qing, Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed because his study was halfway.
Qin Qing greeted the two men in a generous manner, then led them into the door to see the father.
The courtyard was refurbished and decorated with a simple and elegant taste. Several green bamboos were planted in the corner, and a wicker chair was placed on the grape vine on the patio. Zhang Wentian was lying on the wicker chair and tea, alongside a guqin.
An obese middle-aged man is cooking tea. The look of the old man looks pretty good. His face is ruddy and pleasing, and he has a taste of the world and his leisurely taste.
Seeing Lu Chen and Chen Jianhao, Zhang Wentian did not get up and nodded and said, "Sit down."
The two people came to visit, of course, they had made an appointment. Now the old man is basically retired. He does not say that he refuses to interview the media. Even foreign visitors are rare. Chen Jianhao is very face-saving.
Lu Chen also knows now that Chen Jianhao has a close relationship with Zhang Wentian. He used to work in the latter's crew, so he can mix the bench in front of the big director.
"Zhang Dao, how is your body recently?"
Lu Chen greeted and put the gift on the tea table.
Although Zhang Wentian's new film has been ruined, Lu Chen can't even come over and visit him. He brings an authentic Korean wild ginseng worth more than 100,000.
Zhang Wentian is aware of the goods. After glanced at it, he half-jokingly said half-heartedly: "Xiaolu, you are playing my face. I promised that you have not done anything, and you have sent such valuable things."
Lu Chen cried and laughed: "Zhang Dao, you don't want to joke with the younger generation, the younger generation can't afford it, I am here to see you, really nothing else."
Zhang Wentian laughed and said: "You don't expect to see the little character now. The TV series starring in the show is hot in Korea, and you have made a big face for the domestic drama. Sit down and sit down!"
He took this gift for his face.
People in the industry know that Zhang Wentian rarely accepts other people's gifts, especially star artists.
If the new film does not have a miscarriage, he is definitely not going to want Lu Chen's things, but now it doesn't matter.
Because looking for an opportunity, Lu Chen is a human being. With Zhang Wentian’s position in the circle, it is really easy to help Lu Chen’s busyness. There is no problem that cannot be afforded.
This is the festival of the older generation of filmmakers.
Lu Chen sat down and said modestly: "Zhang Dao, I am just lucky."
He did not expect Zhang Wentian to pay close attention to himself.
"Luck is also part of strength."
Zhang Wentian said with exclamation: "I don't have such good luck, now the movie market is awkward!"
This time, Zhang Wentian had a contradiction with the investor on the issue of the new film. The main reason was that in this "market", the investor required his work to cater to the market. Not only did he arbitrarily modify the script story, but even the main actors interfered with the replacement. It is depriving the former of a large part of the power as a director.
Zhang Wentian is not the kind of person who has not changed his life. He also recognizes the importance of the market. It is reasonable for investors to invest huge demands, but this behavior that treats him as awkward makes him unacceptable.

The two sides cannot reach a compromise, and that is only a scatter.
Zhang Wentian was not hit hard. He had high hopes for this movie and did a lot of work. As a result, all the hard work was caused by the problems of the concept, and his heart was particularly uncomfortable.
Nowadays, the domestic movie market is getting bigger and bigger, and the size of the box office is comparable to that of the United States. The huge interest has caused the practitioners' mentality to become increasingly impetuous. Everyone wants to make big money and quick money, ignoring the essence of the film.
Zhang Wentian’s encounter was accidental and inevitable. According to some people, he “can’t keep up with the times”.
After a few days of rest at home, Zhang Wentian wanted to open it, and the thoughts on the film were also weak.
He is very old now. He is not short of money and is not famous. It is almost the time to retire. He is chatting with friends at home and drinking tea at home. It is the right way to support the world.
Lu Chen just sat down and the obese man next to him poured a cup of hot tea.
Lu Chen quickly said: "Thank you."
He looked at the other side a bit familiar, seemingly seen where he was, certainly not a nameless generation.
Zhang Wentian noticed Lu Chen’s eyes and said with a smile: “This is my student Wan Xiaoquan, you should have heard of it, and recently released it from the prison.”
Wan Xiaoquan!
Lu Chen suddenly realized, it is no wonder that I feel familiar, it is this!
Wan Xiaoquan is also a director. He is a fifth-generation director in China. He graduated from the director department of Beijing Film and Television College. He has filmed many TV dramas such as "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio", "White Snake" and "Xue Rengui". The industry enjoys a certain reputation.
But his most famous is his bad temper.
骂 actor, 骂 片 骂 骂 骂 骂 骂 骂 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万 万
The evaluation of him in the circle is: talented and temper!
At the end of 2014, Wan Xiaoquan had a fierce conflict with the people in the crew. He slaps the other party into a concussion and deafness in the left ear. As a result, he lost money and was sentenced to one year and a half because of intentional injury.
This is undoubtedly a big blow to Wan Xiaoquan. His wife divorced him, and the director association destroyed him in addition to his name!
The last time Wang Bin was sucked/drug was arrested. Some people on the blog nicknamed the "Prison Storm" blockbuster and added a general. Among them, the director Wan Xiaoquan said that he is still in the prison!
However, compared with those celebrities who are attracted to drugs, poisons, sputum, drunks, and driving, the insiders have a lot of comments on Wan Xiaoquan, because his bad temper is not right, and he is fanned by him. The slap in the face is really owed, but I did not expect it to have such serious consequences.
Lu Chen saw Wan Xiaoquan's "White Snake Biography". The director has great strength and ideas in this kind of monster film. The use of lenses and colors is in place and he is a talented person.
Lu Chen also read the news of his jail, and he could not think of the protagonist in the story sitting next to him.
He immediately said to Wan Xiaoquan: "Want, hello, I am very glad to meet you!"
Wan Xiaoquan shook hands with Lu Chen and smiled bitterly: "Don't call me a guide. I am now a prisoner and I will not be able to shoot movies in the future!"
His expression was a bit bitter, but his eyes were calm.
Obviously this rough experience gave him a great lesson in life and taught him a lot of things.
Lu Chen shook his head and said: "Want guide, with your talent, no film, no film"
He took out his business card from the bag he carried with him and handed it over: "My name is Lu Chen, I opened my own studio, and I am currently making a TV series, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate with you."
Wan Xiaoquan took the business card and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't have a business card, I will give you a call."
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Of course!"
He is now filming TV series, but the goal is to make movies. The status of the film is not comparable to that of TV dramas. The market size is huge and the influence is higher.
Therefore, Lu Chen is not talking to Wan Xiaoquan, and he may not have the opportunity to cooperate with the latter.
He wrote down the contact details of Wan Xiaoquan.
Zhang Wentian looked around and showed a smile on the old face.
Lu Chen, a young man, is really good. He is rarely a new generation star like him.
Not arrogant, not humble, not arrogant, acting sophisticated and talented, combining all kinds of advantages in one.
Looking at Lu Chen, Director Zhang feels that he is really old. ——
There is something at home today, it is very late to come back, so please only forgive me. (To be continued.)
