Since 1983

the next day.

The summer of this year is really not as hot as the later generations, and it cools down quickly after July. Of course, I didn't think it was too hot when I was a child, but it was quite cold in winter.

A large Mercedes-Benz is driving on the road that has not been noisy, running over the morning smoke. Xiao Mo was driving the car, staring at Teacher Xu, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, what are you doing so silly?"

"Am I silly?"

"Too obvious!"

"Oh, I'm going to be a father."

"Gah!"

Da Ben took a snaking turn and almost hit the sidewalk tree. Xiao Mo was shocked: "Who, who... you, this... what should I do?"

"Get the certificate, what else should I do?"

"That, that..."

"It's legal anyway."

"..."

Xiao Mo was stunned for a while, but he could understand.

The car drove into Beijing Film Studio and parked outside the studio. The inside had just started construction and was full of people. It was the set of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Since he had to wait for "Anna and the King" released by Zhou Run, Li An didn't turn on the film until the end of June. He first filmed in the capital, then went to XJ, and just returned to the capital.

Xu Fei stood at the door and watched for a while, it should be the scene where Yu Jiaolong and Yu Xiulian's bodyguards fight.

It is arranged as an interior scene of a martial arts training ground, paved with bluestone slabs, with a patio pattern, and abundant rain, so the middle piece is wet. There are two couplets pasted inside, there are confessions, round table seats, and the wood looks simple and heavy at first glance.

It doesn't seem big in the film, but it looks really big in real life, because there are machines hanging on both sides. Li An was sitting on a wooden chair, communicating with Yuan Heping.

For "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Li An first searched for the best martial arts masters, but found that he couldn't do it. Knowing martial arts does not necessarily mean filming, and later I searched for the best martial arts actors.

Yuan Baye led, the world assisted, Kou Zhanwen, Zhang Jin and others were there. Zhang Jin was dressed in women's clothing and a wig, and was squatting there eating buns.

"What are you doing here?"

"President Xu!"

"Okay, okay, hot eyes!"

Xu Fei asked him to turn his head away, and asked, "Will you stand in for me?"

"Well, I will replace Sister Gong Li, and someone from Yuan's class will replace Zhang Ziyi."

"Why don't you go up?"

"My physique is too strong, not as slender as his."

Kou Zhanwen looked like he was picking up a bargain, and said in admiration: "Ba Ye is really awesome, he can do whatever the director asks.

Look at "The Grandmaster of Tai Chi" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". "

"Yeah, it's really amazing!" Zhang Jin also nodded.

"Tsk, I've trained you for so many years just to praise others?"

"I have to admit my inadequacy, I'm a great master of his generation, and I'm definitely famous all over the world."

While chatting, there was a commotion at the door, and a person came in like stars holding the moon. He was tall, dark-skinned, with a bald head, and he was rare in the film and television industry.

He looked around and found a strange face, striding over and stretching out his hand, with an obvious accent: "Hello!"

"Oh, Hello!"

"Brother just came? What are you doing?"

"I'll put some money in."

"..."

"..."

Zhou Run was embarrassed, and others hurriedly introduced, Fang laughed: "Hey, no wonder, Mr. Xu has long admired his name!"

"It's okay, you are busy."

Kou Zhanwen suppressed his laughter, and said with a puff when he left, "Brother Fa is like this. He shook everyone's hand the day he first came, and he also thanked everyone for their hard work when he finished work every day."

"Well, the demeanor of the seniors." Zhang Jin cheered.

Accustomed to seeing all kinds of big names, Xu Fei has long been calm, or in other words, he has never been excited.

As a senior gossip lover, he looks at celebrities as if he is watching a walking gossip spreader.

Zhou Runfa went to put on makeup, Gong Li and Ji Jizhang came out from nowhere, and a woman was following Gong Li, gesticulating non-stop.

"President Xu!"

"Yo!"

The two ran over, Xu Fei smiled and said, "What are you two doing?"

"There is a foreign media interview... This is my English teacher. I am doing both filming and studying." Gong Li introduced the woman.

"It's okay to be self-motivated, but is it still suitable for filming this scene?"

"snort!"

Gong Li sat down and rolled up her trousers, what a guy! This big white leg was covered with bruises, full of bruises from bumps.

She stretched out her hand again, revealing her left little finger wrapped in gauze, and said, "My fingernails are all flying off, do you know what kind of pain that is?"

"how could I know!"

Xu Fei looked at International Zhang's intact hands. If history hadn't changed, she would know in a while.

…………

"Is it going well?"

"It's good, it's beyond imagination. The producer you assigned to me is very good and saved a lot of time for the crew."

Li An was quite surprised. He had acquaintance with several mainland directors, but he didn't know much about the industry as a whole. As a result, Tianxia Yi participated, and the working mode and efficiency were beyond expectations.

"When is it expected to be finalized?"

"About four or five months."

Xu Fei estimated the time, and it didn't conflict with "The Man With Nobody" and "A World Without Thieves".

Li An seemed to have something to say, so he paused for a moment and said, "This drama has a budget of 12 million US dollars, and Hong Kong, the United States, and the mainland are cooperating. Everything is going well, but the distribution...

Do you and Mr. Song, or the United States, have any release plans? "

"Of course there is. Brother Song has already thought about it and is going to find Sony Classics to co-publish it."

"Sony Classics?"

"Bernard and Buck."

Hearing these two names, Li An's eyes lit up.

In the 1990s, major Hollywood studios changed their strategies for independent films, acquiring independent production companies and establishing subsidiaries.

Sony Classics is a product of this period, founded in 1991.

The owners are Michael Barker and Tom Bernard, specializing in the production and distribution of documentaries, independent films and art films around the world.

From 1993 to 1995, the three films released by Sony Classics won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Later, from 2009 to 2012, there was another Silianzhuang.

As we all know, Oscar relies on public relations.

This shows that Bernard and Barker are very good at public relations, and they have always been keen to promote foreign language films, and have cooperated with Akira Kurosawa and Almodovar.

One more thing: The Oscar for the best foreign language film does not specify the investor, and non-English films are acceptable. And the best picture, a non-English-language film that has been released in the United States, can actually be nominated.

In history, only 6 non-English films have been nominated for "Foreign Language Film" and "Best Picture".

The only one that won both awards is "Parasite".

But when Li An heard the Sony classics, his heart sank, and he felt that Brother Song was really an expert!

After preparing for a long time, the filming officially started.

Yuan Baye taught the two heroines how to fight, the international chapter used the Qingming sword, and Gong Li used the double sword. This knife is very strange, it can be used as a single knife when combined, and it can be used as a double knife when separated.

"You're like slashing diagonally with a knife."

"You are also like a sword player, from left to right, blocking like this."

"One chop and one block, one chop and one block, we go for six rounds, the seventh time, you swing away with your sword, rush to fight back..."

Yuan Baye broke down every move, and the two expressed their understanding.

"preparation!"

"ACTION!"

Gong Li has been training for half a year, she really gave up her old waist and legs, and put on a decent posture.

I saw her attacking step by step, the international chapter retreating step by step, and the sound of metal collisions in the field was clear and crisp.

As a result, they hit each other, and suddenly heard a scream:

"ah!"

The Qingming Sword fell to the ground, and International Zhang's hands were covered in blood.

(besides……)
