Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 293 Do you know “Tiny Times”?

Lu Chuan certainly didn't think he was jealous of Li Qiutang's achievements.

He felt he was defending the dignity of filmmakers.

Although he now also makes commercial films, he does not agree with Li Qiutang's approach.

He really felt that Li Qiutang was a product manager and should not be called a director.

Of all the works Li Qiutang has produced since his debut, he only thinks that "The Message" and "In Time" are "of some quality", and all other films are not up to par in his eyes.

As for what Li Qiutang said, "The director cannot let his imagination run wild and must be worthy of the investors' money," it was simply nonsense to him.

If a director's hands are tied by investors and he cannot create freely, how can the film be called art?

But what Li Qiutang said at the film festival, "I've got the qualification of a judge, so I can say a few words, it's no big deal," broke his defense.

Because it made him look petty, as if he was deliberately looking for trouble, as if he was jealous of Li Qiutang for becoming a Cannes judge.

Why should I be jealous of him? Ridiculous. "Nanjing! Nanjing!" won the Best Film Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival, which is an international A-level film festival award. It is the fourth largest film festival in Europe and has a much higher artistic value than the Golden Globe Awards. Why should I be jealous of him?
After thinking about it, the problem lies with the woman.

Qin Lan shouldn't have any contact with Li Qiutang anymore!

Qin Lan knew that the two of them disliked each other, so she basically never mentioned Li Qiutang in front of Lu Chuan, nor did she mention Lu Chuan in front of Li Qiutang.

But Lu Chuan came back from the film festival today, and for the first time ever, he asked her about Li Qiutang.

Qin Lan was still filming in Hengdian. She was very confused when she received the call from her boyfriend, but her heart was tense and she answered the call carefully.

"I haven't heard what drama he is filming." Qin Lan knew that Li Qiutang helped Huang Xiaoming save "Pifu", but she didn't plan to tell Lu Chuan about it. "After "In Time", he has been resting."

Lu Chuan asked her again if she knew what project Li Qiutang was promoting.

Qin Lan actually knew that at a gathering of Fengtian fellow villagers last year, Li Qiutang said that he was writing two suspense scripts, but he was writing very slowly and the story structure was very complicated. In addition, there were many things to do in the company, so he had to stop and start writing the scripts. It was estimated that it would take two to three years to complete.

But Qin Lan still chose not to tell Lu Chuan about this. A project that hasn't had a script written yet doesn't count.

"Why are you asking this? Just let him take his pictures and you take your pictures."

Lu Chuan said generously: "I am his senior after all, I am just asking, I still want to cooperate with him."

If Lu Chuan really thought so, Qin Lan would naturally be very happy, and even expressed his willingness to act as a middleman to arrange a meeting for the two.

Lu Chuan said that there was no rush for an interview as he had a lot of work to do and would wait until he was done with this busy period.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Lan, who was far away in Hengdian, was delighted that her boyfriend was so open-minded and generous. How could she, who was busy filming, know that Lu Chuan was being sarcastic about Li Qiutang?

Li Qiutang was very busy at the Beijing Film Festival. Although she did not bring any new movies, she was invited to many events and interviews.

When asked about how to deal with the "Hollywood Tiger" under the new agreement, Li Qiutang was mostly optimistic, but also put forward her own demands: "I understand censorship, and I also understand that some things cannot be filmed. But I hope that the censorship standards can be transparent and open, and consistent inside and outside."

Li Qiutang certainly stands on the side of the country, but he couldn't help but complain about some unreasonable aspects: "Didn't they say that we can't film ghosts? How come Ghost Rider 2 was allowed in?" The film censorship committee has too much discretion, and the censorship rules are extremely opaque. Not to mention Li Qiutang, even some veteran directors who have been filming for a lifetime may not be sure of the censorship committee's standards.

"I encountered this kind of thing when I was filming The Sound of Wind and In Time. Some of the revision suggestions left our crew scratching their heads."

"Faced with the impact of Hollywood Tiger, we must face it positively and hope that the General Administration can give us some slack in terms of subject matter and scale."

Li Qiutang said: "I actually want to make a fantasy film about gods and ghosts, but many people told me not to touch this subject matter. If I want to make a film, I should not make it original. I can only make films like "Journey to the West", "Investiture of the Gods" and "Liao Zhai".

Over the past period of time, many directors have talked about the issue of censorship standards under the new agreement. Li Qiutang's words only added fuel to the discussion, and there has still been no response at the policy level.

The General Administration is used to being scolded, so it doesn’t matter.

The top model worker at this year's Beijing Film Festival is Yang Mi.

This year, Yang Mi expects 7 films to be released to the audience. At the project roadshow, Yang Mi also confirmed three more films. Together with those confirmed earlier, Yang Mi has at least 15 film resources in his hands.

Is it true that no one says she is crazy because of her busy schedule? Despite such a high workload, Yang Mi actually has time to go to Liu Yifei's house for a small gathering.

Shu Chang and Li Qiutang were also there that night.

Looking back on her experience after the hit of "Palace", Yang Mi admitted: "I don't know which crew I wake up in every day."

Liu Yifei was also wondering: "You are already with Liu Kaiwei, why are you still working like this? Can you take care of your life?"

Liu Yifei also wanted to film more movies, but she could never keep up with Yang Mi's work intensity.

Yang Mi still believes in love and there is light in her eyes. She admitted: "I am really sorry to Kaiwei, but there is nothing I can do. This is how work is."

Compared to other things, she is more worried that she will run out of movies and quickly become out of fashion.

Li Qiutang's work intensity is already high enough, but compared to Yang Mi, he feels a little ashamed of himself.

"Liu Kaiwei has no objection?" Li Qiutang asked herself: If Liu Yifei worked like her, he would be the first one to disagree.

"He understands me quite well." It can be seen that the relationship between the two is still very good. "Sometimes when he is not so busy, he will come to see me."

After hearing this, Liu Yifei turned around and punched Li Qiutang.

"Why did you hit me?"

"You didn't even come to see me when I was filming."

Li Qiutang's eyes widened in disbelief. This woman turned against him.

"No, I'm not looking at you?"

"You didn't come when I was filming 'Introduction to Architecture'."

Li Qiutang had nothing to say and indeed she did not go that time.

But in the eyes of Yang Mi and Shu Chang, these actions are just flirting and showing affection.

Shu Chang, the only single person present, said, "That's enough, who are you showing it to?

"Yifei, I find that you have become annoying after falling in love."

Yang Mi added: "Women in love always have insufficient IQ."

Li Qiutang listened more and spoke less, and his attention was indeed on the guest Yang Mi.

After getting to know Yang Mi in this way, I found that although she said that her work was hard and tiring, she actually seemed to enjoy it.

Li Qiutang couldn't help but praise her: "Otherwise I would say you can be famous."

Sincere.

Looking at the top stars, except for Liu Yifei, who is not a workaholic? Who doesn't live on the set?
The quality is not guaranteed, but the quantity is really large!

Yang Mi sat for a while and then said she had to catch a plane back to the crew as she had another movie to shoot.

Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Li Qiutang for a scene: "Big director, remember to find me to film."

"I don't even know where my next film will be." Li Qiutang said, "Besides, you're so popular, there are plenty of crews looking for you without me hiring you."

Shu Chang sat for a while and then left.

Liu Yifei then said to Li Qiutang: "Do you know Tiny Times?"
