Only then did Sun Zhou answer:
"Shanzi has been around in Hengdian for many years. He is a famous person who will remember it in his heart when he meets him. I am not as good as him in this regard. I have a somewhat individual personality and don't pay much attention to such trivial matters!"
This person is actually quite old. He is the same age as Chen Long and is turning 50 this year.
He has an outstanding personality, has always been very independent, and is very capable.
As early as 20 years ago, he directed his first TV drama "There's a Blizzard Tonight" and it was an instant success. It was very popular in China at that time and won numerous awards.
But he loved movies even more. When his TV drama career was booming, he unexpectedly chose to quit and went to Beijing Film Academy to study for two years in directing professional courses.
During those two years, he had already started filming a military-themed film. Although it was not released, it did not affect his concentration on the film.
But the days after graduation were very difficult. No one would invest in his films, he couldn't make any money, and his life was very difficult.
So I often locked myself in the house, playing autistic, and only ate one meal a day, which was a 5-yuan claypot rice from a street food stall, and I even scraped the sides of the pot clean.
By chance in 1992, a friend introduced Sunzhou to shoot a commercial for a toothpaste in Dongyue, and he took the job out of curiosity.
It was only after I tried it that I realized that I could still do this job. I accidentally discovered that you can make money and have something to do in advertising.
Gradually, he entered the advertising world and made great achievements in this area. He successively shot several beautiful and creative commercials for major brands.
But with more money, he became more interested in directing movies, so he returned to his old career again.
Thanks to the financial foundation and the knowledge of many manufacturers and investment, several films with widespread influence were produced in succession.
This time he joined the crew through personal connections because he planned to get involved in commercial film shooting again. Learning some relevant experience from Chen Long was really no excuse.
Liu Qingshan immediately understood Chen Long's plan, but he didn't say it out loud, just pretending to be all ears.
Sure enough, after Sun Zhou finished speaking, Chen Long immediately said with a smile:
"Because of your personality, there will be subsequent works! But I know that your ambition is not for any commercial film. Your ultimate goal is to make your film international, right?"
Judging from the voice, this topic has not been discussed between the two before.
Chen Long mentioned it without any cover-up today, and Sun Zhou didn't show any embarrassment at all, but replied without answering the question:
"There is a popular saying in the circle for a while: If you want to commit suicide slowly, just make a movie. Although it is a joke, it is very true. That kind of experience can really drive people crazy!"
In his words, he was obviously referring to his most lonely eight years.
"I like the writer Shen Congwen, his integrity, and his famous sayings: I don't have to say anything, but that doesn't mean I don't have the ability. Someone once jokingly advised me to change my career: It's so easy to be an actor, you can make money , someone puts on shoes, someone holds an umbrella, and when I’m unhappy, there are still people who coax me. It’s not like being a director, who coaxes you! You are responsible for all the big and small things. It was Brother Chen Long who encouraged me, and there was a sentence that encouraged me I started to re-examine myself.”
"Really? Why have you never mentioned it to me?"
Chen Long's expression was very exaggerated, showing surprise.
"You once told me that since you love it, you should take your movie seriously. At least you will have no regrets when you are old and about to die!"
"Did I say that? Oh my god, don't you mean that I dragged you into this muddy water again?"
"It's okay to say it's muddy water, but which industry isn't like this? As you said, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes! But you said that my ambition is to break into the international film industry. I don't deny this. Although I know My own temperament will most likely be a huge obstacle!”
Among the mainlanders present, only Shao Bing knew more about him:
"Well, you are too emotional. Whether you work, live, make friends, or deal with things, you all rely on your own temperament. You even don't care what others say, because you always believe that caring about other people's evaluations is not the main task of a filmmaker. "
Sun Zhou was not completely stubborn. At least he immediately started joking, trying to imitate Chen Long's Hong Kong accent:
"Did I say that? Oh my god, why don't I remember?"
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became much lighter.
He kept talking, but his words were directed at Jin Xishan:
"That's how I am. I always like to interrupt other people's thoughts and say self-righteous things! I understand what Brother Chen Long just said. I will contact my brother for you in a few days and ask your agent to go directly to him! "
Liu Qingshan not only served as a translator for a group of people, but also promptly explained to the two Han people:
"Brother Sun's younger brother, Sun Yan, is more famous than him. He is a national-level actor. He is much more lively and has a wider approach to life than his brother!"
Sunzhou did not give Jin Xishan a chance to express his gratitude:
"My younger brother is more capable than me. He has made friends with countless people in the industry! You are right to end Han Guo's actor contract. Take this opportunity to focus your development on our country. It is the right thing to do. If you don't believe it, just watch Well, within three to five years, the development potential of the mainland’s entertainment industry will be fully activated!”
Chen Long also echoed:
"I met him earlier, but I got closer to his younger brother. It's because this man is too old-fashioned and not sociable. It's not fun to drink with him!"
Sun Zhou also did not refute, and just laughed twice: "Then why did you agree to my joining the team this time? You are not waiting for me to express my gratitude to you, are you?"
"Tch, I never expected that! Now there are rumors in the three places across the Taiwan Strait that I, Chen Long, am willing to go out of my way to help my brothers. I only agreed to it with face on my face, otherwise it would be detrimental to my good reputation!"
"Haha, this is the truth, I believe it! But you know that I rarely get involved in drinking parties, but today I came as soon as I was called?"
"Come on, tell me, I'm indeed a little curious!"
Sun Zhou pointed at Liu Qingshan:
"It's because of Qingshan. His rescue action the day before yesterday shocked me a lot. I think if I were a sister who had not always been on good terms with him, other people would be in danger too! I'd better call you Shanzi. I don't know what my brother said. Right?"
Seeing that he was asked again, Liu Qingshan's expression was very sincere:
"To be honest, I didn't think much of it at the time. The task assigned to us by our eldest brother was to maintain personal safety. Besides, the danger happened at the flash of lightning, so we should be the first reaction!"
"Your answer is cunning, but it is still true. Otherwise I would only answer: The situation is different, it depends on the emergency situation at the time! And my brother would answer like this: Yes, since we are in the same The crew is fate, there is no reason to ignore it! Therefore, I am not suitable for socializing, and he can easily integrate into this society, and you, Shanzi, will gain more friendships because of this."
"Look at you, you changed the subject again, and I haven't even said what shock it gave you!"
Chen Long interrupted him rudely.
