Chapter 113 Pessimistic Realist! (Subscribe)
"Brothers, hurry up, we have limited time tonight."
In the dim night, Chen Kaige shouted anxiously to the people behind him.
Tian Zhuangzhuang followed Chen Kaige slowly, while Li Changhe and Zhu Lin looked around curiously.
Now they are inside the Beijing Film Studio's processing plant.
Beijing Film Processing Factory, whose full name is Beijing Film Processing Technology and Video Factory, is very similar to the name of Beijing Film Studio, but they are actually two units.
However, as can be seen from the name, there is indeed a business connection. The finished films produced by Beijing Film Studio are developed and printed in the processing plant, which to put it simply is the process of developing and copying the master tape.
And Chen Kaige now works here.
Tonight, Chen Kaige invited them to watch a movie.
Of course, it cannot be said to be an invitation, but rather learning together.
Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Zhu Lin have all passed the preliminary examination and are preparing for the re-examination.
But the difference is that Tian Zhuangzhuang and Zhu Lin passed the exam in one go, while our future director Chen was actually eliminated in the first round.
He failed the first test!
So at that time, he went to Tian Zhuangzhuang to cry to him, and later he thought that Zhu Lin and Li Changhe were also near their home, so he ran to find Li Changhe and Zhu Lin to see if Zhu Lin had been eliminated.
Unexpectedly, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Zhu Lin both received notices for the re-examination, but he was eliminated.
During those two days, Chen Kaige was in tears and extremely depressed, but he could not understand Tian Zhuangzhuang. After all, Tian Zhuangzhuang had been exposed to a lot of movies since he was a child.
But he was a little unconvinced that he could not compare with Zhu Lin. After all, his father was a director and he had been exposed to movies since he was a child, while Zhu Lin obviously had little exposure to them.
But the fact is that Zhu Lin and Tian Zhuangzhuang both passed the preliminary exam, but he was eliminated.
Chen Kaige, who had been confused, finally figured it out after two days of contemplation and convinced himself.
However, he never expected that Beijing Film Academy would send him a new notice, saying that because the Film Academy expanded its enrollment, he was selected to continue to participate in the re-examination.
When Chen Kaige received the re-examination notice, he was so angry that he almost tore it up. This made him feel sad for two days in vain.
Fortunately, reason stopped him at the last moment.
The two notices caused Chen Kaige's emotions to fluctuate greatly, but after calming down, he decided to study harder.
Regarding the film analysis part related to the re-examination, Chen Kaige decided to give special training, so he prepared to watch movies in advance, and then there was the invitation to watch the movie tonight.
He used his personal connections to find the person in charge of the screening room and applied for the opportunity to watch movies in the evening.
However, watching a movie alone is ultimately a closed-door project. Director Chen thought about it and decided to bring Tian Zhuangzhuang along. After all, this guy has strong connections in the film industry, so there is no need to worry if he gets caught.
After the two met and chatted, they felt that they were still bored, and Li Changhe and Zhu Lin were not far from them.
So the two of them went to invite Li Changhe and Zhu Lin. The main idea was that there is strength in numbers and only when they make analysis can they have a valuable perspective.
Li Changhe and Zhu Lin also felt it was great to be able to watch more movies. After all, the number of movies they could watch was limited if they just relied on Director Yang Jie, and it was impossible for the CCTV projection department to let Director Yang Jie use them whenever she wanted.
There are a lot of movie films at the research and development factory. After all, that's what they do.
"What are we watching tonight?"
Arriving at the screening room, Chen Kaige asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, just watch and see!"
Li Changhe and Zhu Lin had no objection to what to watch, they were glad to be able to watch along.
"Can I see what movies are available?"
Chen Kaige walked to the film box beside him and started looking at it, then hesitated.
"Zhuangzhuang, Brother Lin didn't keep many films. He only left me "Heroic Sons and Daughters" and "Revolutionary Family". Take a look."
Both of these films were starred by Tian Zhuangzhuang's father Tian Fang, and the latter one, "Revolutionary Family", was starred by Tian Zhuangzhuang's parents together.
However, four years ago, Tian Zhuangzhuang's father died of cancer.
So when Chen Kaige saw the film inside, he hesitated. "It's okay, let's watch "Heroic Sons and Daughters". I'm familiar with this movie, so I can tell you about it."
Tian Zhuangzhuang said expressionlessly at this time.
Li Changhe glanced at Tian Zhuangzhuang. He didn't know the other person's past, but the other person's current mood was definitely not right.
"Okay, let's watch "Heroic Sons and Daughters"
Chen Kaige took out the film and put it into the projector, and then slowly, the image appeared on the screen.
While the program was playing, Li Changhe obviously noticed that Tian Zhuangzhuang was distracted.
In fact, he was already very familiar with the film because it starred his father.
After the film was finished, Chen Kaige turned off the projector, and several people sat there and started discussing it.
"Generally speaking, there are several common opinions about "Heroic Sons and Daughters"."
Tian Zhuangzhuang shared with Li Changhe and others some of the opinions that his father and old colleagues had discussed in the past, without keeping anything to himself.
By the time the four of them finished chatting, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
"Come on, go home!"
Seeing that the time was almost up, Tian Zhuangzhuang spoke first.
A movie lasts two hours, and if a few people discuss it, it will take at least three hours, so you can only watch this movie in one night.
After the four of them left, Li Changhe took Zhu Lin on a bicycle under the moonlight and quickly returned home.
I took the key to open the door and found Shen Yuxiu was already asleep.
As for Li Lishan, he went abroad with the inspection team a few days ago. This time he was assigned to go to the United States, and it is said that he will be away for about a month.
Li Changhe looked at the itinerary map. They would inspect a total of 80 units and factories in more than 20 days, which means they would inspect more than three units a day.
The entire trip almost goes around most of the United States, which is definitely not easy!
From this we can also see that at this time, the country and the United States had already started to contact each other.
Li Changhe also knew that in fact, diplomats from the two countries had been holding consultations at the Beijing Hotel, and what they were negotiating were probably the details of establishing diplomatic relations.
After all, Li Changhe remembered that the two sides would establish diplomatic relations on January 1 next year.
This is definitely an earthquake-level diplomatic statement for the whole world.
Unfortunately, these are still too far away for Li Changhe, and such national affairs have little to do with him.
After returning home and washing up quietly, Li Changhe lay on the bed with Zhu Lin.
"Changhe, what if we fail the exam after all the hard work we're doing now?"
After lying down, Zhu Lin asked Li Changhe hesitantly.
Li Changhe smiled and then took her into his arms.
"If you don't pass the exam, forget it. Just go back to work. We don't have to be directors."
"Actually, even if it's at the health center, I don't think it's a big deal."
Li Changhe said nonchalantly.
"Besides, no matter what others say, I think you are at least better than Chen Kaige. If he can make it to the re-examination, you will definitely be able to pass."
Li Changhe felt that he still could not look at these people with the halo of future directors.
When it comes to movies, Chen Kaige may know more than the average person, but he didn't show anything that would impress Li Changhe.
However, Li Changhe was quite surprised by the amount of knowledge displayed by Tian Zhuangzhuang.
But unfortunately, based on Li Changhe's several contacts with Tian Zhuangzhuang, he felt that Tian Zhuangzhuang was a pessimistic realist.
This is difficult to handle!
