Chapter 366 Zhang Yimou asks for help

"Lao Tian, ​​Lao Chen, you have worked hard."

At the Beijing Film Studio, Zhu Lin and Gong Xue looked at Tian Zhuangzhuang and the others, who looked exhausted, and knew at a glance that they had suffered a lot.

"Oh, don't mention it, Zhu Lin. It's a good thing you didn't go. It would have been too painful."

Chen Kaige shook his head and sighed at this time.

"It's not bad. It's worth the trip. The grassland scenery over there is much better than that in the capital."

"I think this is our movie!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang said with emotion at this time.

"Of course you can watch it, the beautiful prairie, the hunting ground, right?"

"When this kid got there, he became crazy about the local hunting culture and just ran around on the grassland with them whenever he had nothing to do. He was simply not doing his job properly."

When Chen Kaige said this, he couldn't help but complain about Tian Zhuangzhuang to Zhu Lin.

If it weren't for him, Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei, the crew would have been paralyzed just by Tian Zhuangzhuang's irresponsible behavior.

"The plot has been filmed, we just asked you to take the scene, it won't delay anything."

When Tian Zhuangzhuang heard Chen Kaige slandering him, he couldn't help but retort.

"Okay, let's hand the film over to the studio first. The editing and other things that come next have nothing to do with us. We have to go back to school."

“The exam is coming up soon.”

"If you think about it, we haven't been back home for almost a semester."

Zhu Lin said to several people at this time.

"That's true, but to be honest, it's better to shoot a movie outside. You don't have to go to school. It's freer!"

Chen Kaige sighed at this time and said that after hanging out outside for so long, he didn't want to go back to school.

"You can drop out of school!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly said

"Bah, Old Tian, ​​you are just seeking revenge, that's why you dropped out of school!"

Chen Kaige said viciously to Tian Zhuangzhuang.

This kid is so mean and he is taking revenge on me for reporting him.

At this time, Zhang Yimou, who was originally cheerful behind the two people, was suddenly stunned after hearing the words "drop out of school" from Tian Zhuangzhuang.

After handing the film over to the Beijing Film Studio, Zhu Lin and the others were not in a hurry to return to school.

First, they took a shower and changed clothes in the guesthouse of Beijing Film Studio. Then Zhu Lin took them to a restaurant outside to have a good meal at noon, and then returned to Beijing Film Academy.

After all, the cafeteria at the Beijing Film Academy will make sure that the food they eat is even more vegetarian than that of monks when we get back.

In the restaurant, a group of people were eating happily. At this time, Zhu Lin finally noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Yimou.

"Why don't you eat, Lao Zhang?"

"I feel like something's wrong with you this time?"

Zhu Lin asked Zhang Yimou curiously at this time.

Zhang Yimou said nothing, but took out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes bag, picked up a match, lit it and started smoking.

"Wow, Lao Zhang, everyone is eating, and you are smoking."

Chen Kaige said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Yimou sighed.

"This meal can be considered as a farewell to me."

"Dude, I guess we need to leave!"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yimou spoke slowly.

"Walk?"

"Where?"

Chen Kaige hasn't reacted yet.

Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was standing by, suddenly remembered it.

“It’s already the second semester.”

They entered the university in the fall of 1978, and now it is 1980. For them, the second semester of their sophomore year is almost over. Zhang Yimou was originally a transfer student, not a regular undergraduate like Zhu Lin, so the Beijing Film Academy only gave him two years to transfer.

In other words, by the end of this semester, Zhang Yimou would have to drop out of Beijing Film Academy.

He had not thought about this at first, but Tian Zhuangzhuang's complaint that Chen Kaige could drop out of school just now reminded him, and Zhang Yimou became melancholy.

After Tian Zhuangzhuang's reminder, the other people also reacted.

"Didn't you say at the beginning that since we made this movie, it would be considered a work, and the school would keep us?"

Zhu Lin asked hesitantly at this time.

She remembered that Zhang Yimou was very excited at the time, and filming "The Shepherd" would help strengthen his credentials.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yimou smiled bitterly and said nothing.

"We miscalculated the time. If The Wrangler had been finished filming in the first two months and released now, it would have been an advantage for Lao Zhang if the performance was good."

“But we’ve been waiting for three months for the pasture, so The Horse Wrangler has just finished filming and we have to wait for the edited film to be submitted to the Film Bureau before it can be released, which will definitely be in July or August by then.”

"It's too late for Lao Zhang."

"I guess the school will talk to him about this matter when he returns to school."

"After all, once we finish the exam, his study time will be over."

Tian Zhuangzhuang explained to Zhu Lin at this time.

The enthusiasm of several people for eating suddenly waned.

After all, a few people had just finished a movie, and they hadn’t even had time to share the joy of victory before they were about to disband.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable.

"I think I can look for the school and maybe talk to them about this."

Chen Kaige took the initiative to speak at this time.

"Talk to the school?"

"Who's going to talk? We're not qualified enough!"

Gu Changwei said somewhat helplessly.

They are not young, but they are just students. How can they talk to the school?

"You are stupid. If we can't do it, there are people who can!"

"Let Changhe come forward!"

"Changhe's status is much stronger than ours. He is familiar with many teachers in the school, and he is also a famous writer. He has acquaintances in the Writers Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles."

"All the literati in the world are one family. Let's put Beijing Film Academy under the management of the Film Bureau. The person in charge of the Film Bureau and the people in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles are all one family. They were the League of Left-Wing Writers back then."

At this time, Chen Kaige decisively explained to a few people the relationships between the high-level bosses of the Cultural Bureau, and a few people were stunned when they heard it.

So it turns out that these people are so closely related, and each of them is a founder?
"I think with Changhe's relationship, he should know those big guys."

At this time, Chen Kaige looked at Zhu Lin and asked curiously.

Several people also looked at Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Recently, Changhe has been discussing some things with Zhang Guangnian, the secretary of Group D of the Writers Association, as well as Xia Yan and Chen Huangmei."

"I don't know the details, but Kaige, is this Xia Yan the one you mentioned?"

Li Changhe didn't tell Zhu Lin some details about some things, he just mentioned them casually.

Chen Kaige smiled and said, "Then do you think there are so many people with the same name in the capital?"

"It's definitely this group of people. Chen Huangmei is the current Deputy Minister of Culture and Director of the Film Bureau."

"Old Zhang, if you ask Changhe to help you with this matter, it will definitely work!"

Chen Kaige said to Zhang Yimou with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhang Yimou looked at Zhu Lin seriously.

"Zhu Lin, what do you see?"

"Okay, let's eat first. After dinner, let's go to Peking University in the afternoon. I'll go talk to Changhe and see what he says."

Zhu Lin said with a smile at this time.

It wasn't that she was taking on the trouble for Li Changhe, but it was really not a good idea to just sit back and watch what was happening to Old Zhang.
