independent filmmaker

Hearing the request from the factory, Xie Lansheng held the script in his hands and said that he had to think about it.The factory didn't persecute him any more, let him go, but persuaded him: "Lan Sheng, don't think too much, it's a good thing to be in the film."

Xie Lansheng said that he knew it, then walked back to his bedroom, took out an iron washbasin with a red carp from under the bed board, and put it on the ground.The iron washbasin was tilted on the concrete floor several times before it stopped, making a harsh sound.Xie Lansheng lit a cigarette, clenched his teeth, narrowed his eyes slightly, and through the bluish-white smoke, read his "Children in Troubled Times" carefully, word by word.

After finishing reading, he held the script in one hand and a cigarette in the other, leaned over a corner of the script, and lit the script.The flame finally sprang up, Xie Lansheng slapped it again with his right hand, and changed the angle with his left hand to make the whole stack of papers burn, then threw it into the basin and looked down.

The flames were fierce, reflecting his young face.

Minutes later, his story was reduced to ashes.

To the long-distance call from the factory manager who was studying, Xie Lansheng said that he did not accept the "executive director" and hoped that the factory could trust him and let "Children in Troubled Times" hit sales.The other party was silent after listening.A few seconds later, in order not to offend the leader above—that is, Chi Zhonghe’s uncle, Factory Director Guan said: "Xiaoxiang supports young directors, but the appeal of young directors is relatively limited, which will cause concerns in various provinces and make Xiaoxiang Factory unable to sell. Lose the number of copies that could have been sold." For the director himself, "not offending the leader" is always more important than a movie.A movie is just a movie, and "offending the leader" has endless troubles.

The two sides really couldn't agree. In the end, Xie Lansheng said with great reluctance: "Director Guan, I thought about it just now and felt that I might be too arrogant. Since the film bureaus of all provinces don't believe in young directors, then maybe, Young directors really need to improve their skills. The leaders of various film bureaus are experienced in this regard. Even if "Children in Troubled Times" was sold in the name of a big director, the quality of the final product is too poor and the expected effect will not be achieved. , not only affects my own reputation, but also the reputation of Director Chi. I want to give up this opportunity and try to hone it.” His meaning is very obvious, if he has to add Chi Zhonghe, he will not make "Children in Troubled Times" .

After getting the final answer, the factory director did not give in on this, and in the end it was like this for the time being.

As far as Director Guan is concerned, if he didn't add a name and let Xie Lansheng take the picture himself, he would have to take responsibility - he was incompetent, helpless, and not good at handling things.But if Xie Lansheng didn't even make a film, he could have a job.At this stage, he has said everything he can say and done everything he can do. It is Xie Lansheng's problem whether Xie Lansheng is soft or hard.Xie Lansheng was assigned, and he couldn't get him fired. Not letting him be filmed is already the most serious punishment.

As for "Children in Troubled Times", I still follow the original idea and just find someone to finish the filming, and I won't sell the factory.

He was the factory manager for four or five years, practicing Tai Chi up and down, so smooth and sophisticated.

Xie Lansheng originally thought that the factory would let him take the script directly to Chi Zhonghe for filming, but unexpectedly there was no follow-up. It seems that the people on the opposite side still need to show some face.

…………

"Children in Troubled Times" suddenly disappeared, and Xie Lansheng was also a little upset.

Since "Fortune and Prosperity", which he was the assistant director of, entered the late stage, he started looking for films, and it has been exactly three months since then.After finally getting a "Children in Troubled Times" that no one wanted, he thought about the story and changed the script, but in the end he died because Chi Zhonghe wanted to keep it for himself.

As long as he recalled the phrase "Let Chi Zhonghe be the chief director, and you be the executive director", Xie Lansheng felt nauseous, as if he could smell the sour smell of a rough tongue that had been stuffed in his mouth for a long time.

There is no other way, let's continue to look for good opportunities.

However, if people are unlucky enough to get up and drink cold water, their teeth will be stuffed. Before he can cheer up, Xie Lansheng heard another news that shocked him: the only film he participated in after entering the factory, "Fortune and Prosperity" It was banned many months ago and couldn't be uploaded, and at that time they were filming in Shenzhen in full swing!It was Zhang Fugui, the factory director, who forgot to mention it after reading the document. Now that the film is all finished, he just remembered it!It is said that a few months ago, due to some policy changes, the Film Industry Administration re-examined all the scripts. As a result, two projects of Xiaoxiang Factory including Li Xian's "Fortune and Prosperity" were stopped, and Zhang Fugui's generation factory In a daze, I forgot to mention it.

Xie Lansheng really had nothing to say.

Fortunately, that little old man Zhang Fugui is not the factory director.It's not as good as being the factory manager, who can forget such a big event.It is said that at that time, Zhang Fugui was promoting the sale of copies of another film, and wanted to talk about it the next day, but he was old after all, and he forgot all about it after sleeping.

While complaining, Xie Lansheng was called to the factory director's office with the director Li Xian and another assistant director Zhang Qing.

Zhang Fugui's figure is not tall, a little fat, especially his belly, which makes his shirt tight. The button on his belly button is torn by the fabric on both sides, which looks dangerous.

He looked at Li Xian and asked, "Li Xian, is your mother still in good health?"

Li Xian said: "I just finished chemotherapy, and I'm quite weak."

"Hmm." Zhang Fugui raised his fat hand, "There is a document on the table, please take a look."

The three of them gathered together and found that the official document clearly stated: ["Filming of "Fortune and Prosperity" stopped, the entire crew immediately disbanded and returned to Changsha. 】

After reading it, Li Xian said: "Why are you talking about this now?" There was also complaint in his tone.

Zhang Fugui didn't care, he turned around, looked at the courtyard outside the window, and said, "Li Xian, Zhang Qing, Lan Sheng, I'm going to retire right now, and this is the last thing I can do for you .”

"???" Xie Lansheng was dumbfounded.

Zhang Fugui's voice sounded again: "You guys have great enthusiasm for the creation of "Fortune and Prosperity", I can see it. Your crew has been changing the script, preparing, and filming day and night. Li Xian and Zhang Qing haven't been this excited for a long time. Lan Sheng has just arrived, and he has great expectations for his debut work. In a few days, I will communicate with my superiors, and there may be some turning points... After all, the film has already been released, and the factory has spent a lot of energy. The leader may respond according to the actual situation. Let us go."

Xie Lansheng: "!!!"

Here he finally understood.

Zhang Fugui, acting director of the factory, never forgot the "stop".

He didn't do it on purpose!

He will officially retire next year, and he has no official career left, so he took all the responsibility on himself, saying that it was because he forgot to notify that the film came out, he was in a dilemma, whether the film bureau could let the film be released according to the actual situation up.Now that the raw rice is cooked and the rice is cooked, the big leaders of the Film Bureau are not completely heartless, and it is unknown if it is passed.

Everyone in the factory said that the factory manager Fugui has always been weak, has no means and no courage, and has been only a deputy factory manager in Xiaoxiang factory for decades. Such a heroic outburst, did not carry out the "superior" order, should be blind, just to protect the two films.Zhang Fugui, at the age of 69, suddenly rebelled once.

Xie Lansheng took a deep breath and looked out the window.The sun hung over the bare branches, casting a thin white light on everything.

Li Xian was also obviously shocked. They apologized and thanked them, and finally walked out of the office.

What will the future hold?

The result of Zhang Fugui's last bravery was that each took a step back.It is said that when the film was being reviewed, people from six departments sat inside and outside the screening room, including the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government, the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, the Ministry of Culture, the Planning Commission, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the factory leaders in Xiaoxiang.The review went on all day, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm. Li Xian and the other director finally said that they were hoarse. Of the films made by mistake, one of the six major ministries was killed, which was Li Xian's "Fortune and Prosperity". One passed, but a lot of opinions were put forward for the director to modify.At the same time, Zhang Fugui was severely criticized.

Zhang Fugui had thought of this result.He used his "disobedience" to save one of them, but not all of them fell into the sand.

But Xie Lansheng was at a loss.

He thought, what did he do for two full years after graduation?

oh.In the first year, I was waiting for an assignment. In the second year, I first became an assistant director, but the film could not be screened. Then I wanted to be a director, and finally got killed.For two full years, nothing came out, and he was probably out of luck.

How many two years does he have left?twenty?Thirty?The spirit snake is in his grasp, but it seems to be abandoned in the wasteland.

The successive accidents pierced into his heart like two sharp thorns, fast and deep, which made him very painful.And even if those thorns were pulled out, the empty wound would still be cold.He was in a daze for several days, and he had no energy to talk to anyone. He only felt that the voices of men, women, old and young, big and small, high and low, were mixed together and confused, and time seemed to be frozen.

In the midst of emptiness and confusion, Xie Lansheng once again thought of Sun Fengmao from the photography class.He had heard before that Sun Fengmao was "making his own film".

shoot yourself.

He remembered the script he had been thinking about all the time.

If he also "makes his own film", he no longer needs to be controlled by others.

A person's life spans decades, but movies require lifelong learning.He doesn't want to waste any more, he wants to do what he likes - making as many films as possible.

…………

Xie Lansheng took the train back to Beijing and lived in the guest house of the Patent Office next to the school gate, which costs 10 yuan a bed.

He asked Sun Fengmao out again to have a good meal, and asked how he could make a movie by himself.

Sun Fengmao was very enthusiastic. He told Xie Lansheng: "We can try to buy a factory logo after shooting the film ourselves! Buy it from 16 state-owned factories! You can also try it before shooting!"

Xie Lansheng said: "We use social capital, and it feels unreliable to buy bids. Besides, I can't buy this film."

"Oh..." Sun Fengmao said, "Then send it abroad to compete! As long as the content can impress people, some companies will buy the copyright and broadcast it abroad, and we can recover the cost. But after getting the copyright fee, you need to transfer the copyright The income is given to those who invest. You find someone who is willing to contribute, shoot and produce it yourself, and agree that if you can sell the copyright, you will distribute the income according to your share. Have you heard of the word investment? Buying stocks is also an investment, and it may lose money And maybe make money."

After filming "Fortune and Prosperity", Xie Lansheng also understood "investment". He frowned and asked Sun Fengmao: "Can a foreign company spend 30 yuan to buy our film copyright?" This is simply an astronomical figure.

Sun Fengmao said: "Everyone buys according to the country. If you sell it to Britain, you earn a share; if you sell it to France, you earn another share; if you sell it to Japan, you earn another sum. How many countries do you think there are in the world? Besides, 30 RMB and 6 US dollars, people don’t think it’s too much. I’ve heard that some foreign companies even spend millions of dollars to buy copyrights.”

Xie Lansheng seemed to understand, but nodded.

Sun Fengmao added: "If you take this route, you don't need to work in the factory, you don't need to get a factory label, and you don't need to be inspected."

Xie Lansheng gave a low "huh", and the balance in his heart began to tilt.

…………

Back in Xiaoxiang again, Xie Lansheng heard from his colleagues that a leader came to the city during the three or four days he was away. During the meeting, the leader asked how the graduates of "Nortel" are being trained. The secretary replied: "I am still very young after graduating from university, so I can only temporarily work as an assistant director. No matter what, I have to practice for five years before I can really take on the heavy responsibility."

"..." Hearing this, Xie Lansheng's mind went numb.

Like a wasp crawling into the ear, not one, but a swarm, many wings flapping up and down to make a buzzing sound.

five years! !

Xie Lansheng also couldn't figure out whether Xiaoxiang planned to lie to himself in the conversation before the assignment, saying that he could be in the film, just to detain a graduate from Nortel, or because of "Children in Troubled Times" decided on this "five-year film". "For example, the provincial leaders sacrificed him without hesitation in order not to offend him.

Either way is disgusting.

Fucking exercise for five years, Xie Lansheng thought: I'm so aggrieved, I quit.

I, no, do it.

He's had enough.

After another five years of training, it will be seven years since he graduated, and he still cannot shoot the stories he really wants to shoot.What's more, what will happen after five years is also unknown - there are only one or two factory logos a year, can they really be given to him?Isn’t film essentially just writing books and taking pictures? Why are only great directors qualified to create?

Forget it, he thought, fuck the executive director, fuck the assistant director, fuck the 18 revisions, fuck it can't be released.

Just do what you like, let's talk about it first, he has accepted all the consequences, and it may not be very miserable.His story doesn't want to wait anymore, he's going to shoot his script.

Xie Lansheng, who had made up his mind, was no longer confused or hesitant. While going to work, he talked about "investment" with all his wealthy relatives and friends.

It just didn't go well.At this time, wealthy families were called "30-yuan households", which meant [-] yuan in savings, and [-] to [-] yuan was a huge sum of money, but that's how much money was needed to make a movie.He knows some people who go to sea, and also some people who speculate in stocks. However, although the business makes steady profits without losing money, the stock market only goes up but not down. Avoiding it for fear of being too late, I don't believe in Xie Lansheng at all.

Xie Lansheng asked Sun Fengmao how he got the investment, and Sun Fengmao said: [I have a relative in Hong Kong, and he likes my script very much. 】

Hong Kong relatives...

Xie Lansheng has no relatives in Hong Kong.

All his impressions of Hong Kong come from the video hall. Since 1985, "good things" called video halls have spread all over the streets and alleys of the city. Men love to sit in them and watch Hong Kong police and gangster movies.When it first emerged, the picture quality was very poor. The video tapes came from remakes, and they were passed from one or two houses to other houses.

Xie Lansheng finished watching Director W's "The True Colors of a Hero", "The True Colors of a Hero 2", "Blood Heroes" and "Across the World" in those dark, smoky video halls where the smell of sweat and urine permeated everywhere. Wait for the movie.In Xie Lansheng's mind, Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, is a place where people are feasting and feasting, where gangs are divided and ruled, where police and gangsters fight day and night, and where the people witness gun battles every day.

Hong Kong is too far away from him.

He can only find people around him.

He secretly thought, and secretly worked, feeling anxious and excited.

He was born in the capital and grew up in the capital, and he is plotting evil in the south.

In March, when Xie Lansheng was at a loss, his "investment" suddenly took a turn for the better.

One of Xie Lansheng's elders held 10 yuan in his hand but didn't know what to do with it, and he was frightened day and night.The relative was originally a director of the Propaganda Department of Heilongjiang Province, and went to work in Shenzhen in 80.He took advantage of the double-track price system implemented after the reform and opening, and the contacts he had accumulated in Heilong Province for many years to wholesale newsprint from Shenzhen and resell it to the Northeast Newspaper, earning 10 yuan at once. He was frightened and dared not do it , but the 10 yuan has already arrived, and it is boiling hot in his pocket.You know, buying and selling is illegal. This is called "speculation". After 82, it was still severely cracked down, and it was considered to destroy the economy. Yes, the Eight Great Kings have been rehabilitated, but the crimes are still there, and relatives dare not use the money at all, not to mention that he is the most serious official "official collapse" among the "defectors", and he was still severely rectified the year before last.

Xie Lansheng heard this, and contacted him on the phone number of his work unit, persuading him: "You invest [-] yuan in, and I will return it after the film is finished. The money has a reason. It is an investment... um, return. Let's not talk about it." If you want to make a film, let’s say it’s for business. If the copyright of the film is sold, I’ll return the investment part first, and the remaining profit will be [-]-[-]%... Do you think this is okay?”

He told all the facts and let the other party choose.The relatives thought about it, and felt that the [-] yuan would never be moved if it continued like this. If they could wash it once, it would be better than "scalping".So the two parties wrote an IOU - Xie Lansheng set up a stall in Hunan, and if he made money, he would share it with him.The number in the amount column is very small, but it is actually one hundred thousand.Xie Lansheng also promised not to reveal the source of the funds in case of an accident, and would say that they borrowed from Hong Kong.

Xie Lansheng is very courageous. He feels that if he makes and sells films, and participates in some small and medium film festivals, he will not be discovered by others.As for the relatives, they dare not say anything, let alone have nothing to do.

What Xie Lansheng didn't expect was that after signing the "borrowing" note, the relative thought about it more and more, and brought in another bad guy.The other party also wants to invest in the film, which is also 10 yuan.

With 20 yuan at once, Xie Lansheng was very excited.

He calculated that if he saves money, he can finish shooting "Rooting" with 25 yuan, and the cost will be mainly used to buy film and develop film. The threshold for "filmmaking" is too high, and it costs at least 30 to [-] yuan to buy film and develop film.

He thought, 80% of the work is done, and 5 yuan is easy to get together.

…………

However, things backfired.

The last 5 yuan can't be made up anyway.Neither of the two losers knew the other losers, so they were helpless, and relatives who were serious about earning money felt that he was unreliable.His mother was very angry at him for not working well in a state-owned enterprise but always thinking about stealing chickens and dogs, but she couldn't catch him.

He was too upset to sleep.In order to collect money, he even acted as a gorilla in the zoo, 10 yuan a day, and the person in charge of the zoo praised, "Xie Lansheng, you act really well!"

Time passed bit by bit, and it was late March in a blink of an eye.

The factory has a great opportunity to visit "Hollywood".Everyone wanted to travel at public expense. In the end, Xie Lansheng, who graduated from university and could speak English, was included in the list and served as a backup interpreter for the leaders.He will go to LA to inspect and study with several leaders and major directors of Xiaoxiang Factory.

Although it was only a part-time translator, Xie Lansheng cherished it very much.

There is no direct flight from Changsha, Hunan to Los Angeles, and there is no direct flight from Beijing to Los Angeles. A dozen or so of them made three transfers before landing in the City of Angels.

This place is bounded by the sea on one side and the desert on the other, contradictory but beautiful and almost always sunny.

They saw a few companies, learned some shooting skills, went shopping, went shopping, and walked into a casino the night before they left.

LA's largest casino.

Some people had seen it before but didn't come, while others were very curious, so they dragged the translator and Xie Lansheng to see this corruption that could never exist in the country blatantly.

After entering the casino, everyone dispersed, went shopping and played by themselves.

Xie Lansheng shuttled back and forth among the gambling tables for a while, and found that it was basically "blackjack".He already knew the rules from the Hong Kong movies in the video hall, but seeing people playing it with his own eyes still feels different.

The croupier standing by a table was a young man of Chinese descent, with handsome features and eye-catching features, the most beautiful of which were his eyes, which were pitch black and looked like deep pools.He was wearing a croupier's suit, and it was the first time Xie Lansheng had seen a Chinese who could bulge out the chest of the suit.

Xie Lansheng always felt that the dealer's appearance was very familiar, and after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that he looked very much like Xin Ye who had just won the first Chinese actor in Europe.At the beginning, Xie Lansheng thought that this person was Xinye. After all, he really lived in LA, but later he felt that it was impossible, because Xinye's stepfather was a very famous oldmoney, and he himself was very successful. How could he come to be a croupier? People should just be alike.What's more, Xin Ye played a rural youth in the movie, and he couldn't see his true appearance, so he was too easy to be mistaken. Maybe, it wasn't him who looked like him, and it was him who didn't look like him.

Feeling the two direct gazes, the croupier raised his eyes and looked him up and down.

Xie Lansheng looked away.

Ten minutes later, he was standing in front of the slot machine.

This thing is very simple, put the US dollars in cash, and then press the button, and everything on the screen will move by itself.Xie Lansheng also felt that it was hard for him to come here, so he should go through the experience. He dare not play at 21 o'clock, but slot machines are fine.

Xie Lansheng touched his inner pocket and took out a 100-dollar card. He quickly put it back and touched it again. This time he found only 1 dollar.

He just saw that the minimum amount of these slot machines is 50 cents per time, and the maximum amount is 50 dollars per time. The difference is 100 times. He dare not play with 50 dollars, but 50 cents is still okay. Try it, just treat it once. Life experience.You know, his total monthly income is only 250, RMB.

However, just as Xie Lansheng stuffed the 1 dollar bill into it, his fingers stopped suddenly.

and many more……

Everyone said that a novice gambler like him would have good luck, was it true?

By chance, he looked at the machine in the corner a few meters away.

No one, empty, fifty at a time.

If you can win the highest 200 times, you will have 5 US dollars... [-] RMB.

A fateful number.

Xie Lansheng's two gazes were firmly fixed on it.

He can hit four times in total.

200 US dollars, 1000 RMB, this is all his savings.Although he has been working for a year, eating and living in the factory, he has traveled to and from Beijing several times, but he has not saved much.This time he came to the United States for a visit, just in case, he brought all of them with him.

Is this $200 going to waste?

He told him to calm down and not get nervous.The probability of winning 200 times is too small, click a few times, 1000 will be gone, it's too stupid.

But what if...?What if it were true, good luck for newbies in gambling?

The machine stood there quietly, making Xie Lansheng's heart itch and his hands itch, as if some kind of hook was gently hooking him.He thought of the siren who seduced sailors in Norse mythology—she lured sailors with her singing, and let them all die in the sea.

Do everything, put all your eggs in one basket, these two words made Xie Lansheng a little overwhelmed and a little dizzy.

The blood of the literary youth in him boiled again.

When directors, they all have a soft spot for "fate".He thought, maybe, this casino today is the real beginning of his life?He was desperate and almost desperate, he gave everything and struggled desperately, and then fate favored him, and everything was bright and bright from then on.It's always like this in movies. The protagonists create miracles when there is no hope, and turn around.

He didn't want to leave any regrets, even if it was just a murmur of "what if I won the bet" many years later.

He doesn't want to miss any chance.

Hi, anyway, it's only 200 US dollars, 1000 RMB.

Compared with 5 yuan, it is a drop in the bucket, and it is useless to stay.

Just leave it at that, fuck it.

Xie Lansheng sat stiffly on the stool in the corner.His fingers trembled, and he stuffed the 200 dollars into it. Then, as if he didn't want to regret it any more, he tapped the button with a "bang", his heart was beating, and he hit his throat every time, causing pain and pain.

The screen flashed colorful lights, and the number 7 and other figures whirled around the bearings.This slot machine is "777", a total of three columns, each spins, if all of them stop on "7", it is the jackpot.

Nothing, lose, deduct 50.

The second one and the third one were deducted 50 each.

One more push and it's over... Xie Lanshan pressed the button again.

He doesn't know the rules of the game, so he can only wait for the machine to give him the result.

The first one turns out to be cherries, the second to something else, and the third to turn out cherries again.

Xie Lansheng thought it was all over, but the machine told him that two cherries would double his winnings, and his stake became 150.

Is it so amazing...

He continued to play, losing points for a while, winning points for a while, and neither losing nor winning for a while.That 200 yuan is actually pretty damn sustainable, always swaying between 50 and 150.

And in the central area of ​​the casino, taking advantage of the interval between rounds, a tall young man of Chinese descent squeezed up to Xinye's side and said, "Yves, look over there...that gambler is so willing to play slot machines with his rags and shoes. Hit the biggest one, 50 once, hehe..."

Xin Ye raised his eyes: "These people are long gone."

He accepted a commercial film about the "God of Gamblers" directed by Hong Kong, but in order to observe what the so-called "God of Gamblers" looks like in reality, he got a part-time job as a croupier.The job of a croupier is not too difficult. The major casinos often recruit.

I don't know how long I pressed it, Xie Lansheng was a little numb and sleepy, his eyelids were drooping, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

Until he was startled by a harsh ringing bell and jumped up! !

On the screen, the celebration picture is colorful.And in the middle, the three consecutive "7"s expanded, then retracted, expanded again, and retracted again. The ringing sound was so loud that Xie Lansheng's eardrums jumped, and some gamblers and tourists around were also attracted by the noise.

Xie Lansheng's fists were clenched tightly, and he couldn't hold back, and cried out.

Something was about to rush out of his throat like a fireball, and he couldn't hold it back, so he could only yell like this a few times to let the heat in his heart dissipate a little.

"Ah!!" He looked crazy, turned around, and had a bighug with an old black guy behind him.

Letting go of Old Hei, he hugged others one by one, then pulled out the ticket he spat out, and glanced at the amount—[-] USD.He held up the ticket, yelled, squeezed through the crowd, and ran all the way to the cashier as fast as he could.He bumped into several people on the way, he laughed, turned around, danced, apologized, continued to run, and threw himself on the counter for the last time. It should have hurt, but he didn't seem to notice it.

Xinye looked at it and felt that gambling ghosts were unreasonable.

Full of ugliness, the whole life is counted on this kind of windfall.

Xinye closed his eyes and stopped looking at him. His body was straight and straight, but his eyes were lazy. He continued to deal cards and sit in the dealership.

Not long after, Xin Ye was replaced.He took off his suit jacket, held it in his hand, untied his tie knot, unbuttoned the top button, and walked out of the casino.

In an alley leading to the parking lot, he saw the gambler again, next to some casino security guards.

The gambler is jumping up and down, baring his teeth and claws.He stared at a certain place, lunged to the left for a while, with both arms stretched to the left in unison, and lunged to the right for a while, with both arms stretched to the right in unison, very nervous.

Xin Ye walked over and finally knew what the gambler was doing.

There are three wild cats in front of him, and he is making all kinds of exaggerated movements, so that all the big wild cats look at him, pay attention to him, and become the focus of the wild cats' sight.

Very excited look.

Xin Ye: "......"

I won [-] yuan, so what?

The author has something to say: [-] US dollars, this is the only gold finger in the full text... cherish it... because this paragraph is useful, =w=.

Panda Dad hit the jackpot for the first time playing 777 in Las Vegas...but he played 50 cents...won $100...

Plainly, the cost of making a film 30 years ago was 30 million. Now it is still 30 million to make a film, because the most expensive thing is printing.

At that time, many independent films were funded by Hong Kong businessmen, but the first few were not.Zhang Yuan's "Mom" was funded by a small private company, Wang Xiaoshuai's "Winter and Spring Days" was borrowed by a cobbled together manager, and Lou Ye's "Weekend Lover" was also privately financed.

In the 90s, movies were still "killed", but now they are basically edited, and I haven't heard too much about who will be banned. The test is the production company.

It is also very common to not be able to make a film after being assigned. Director Wang Xiaoshuai resigned because "I heard that he will be doing chores for five years" and went to shoot his.After the resumption of the college entrance examination, those directors with academic qualifications were valued and allowed to direct, but most of them, like those old directors, monopolized the factory label and prevented the younger generation from getting opportunities. Feng Xiaogang also specifically described this phenomenon at that time.
