As Lu Hao walked out of the screening hall with the audience, his original interest was completely disrupted.
You are enjoying yourself while eating popcorn and drinking Coke while watching a movie, but suddenly, the screen goes black and the studio manager comes in to tell you that the movie you are watching has been banned.
This is even more darkly humorous than the movie itself.
Lu Hao was amused.
The next movie hadn't started yet. Since he had already bought the ticket, he wasn't going back. He walked out of the hall and into the corridor to take a breath. Lu Hao couldn't help but call Wei Changhong.
As a director and creator, and currently the vice president of the Film Association, Lu Hao still feels a sense of empathy when encountering such things.
If I can do anything, I'd like to help.
After all, this movie is really good and should not be buried.
The phone beeped twice, but was quickly connected.
"Hello, Mr. Wei, I'm Lu Hao, and I have something to ask you."
There was no need for any pretense. After saying hello, Lu Hao started speaking directly.
He now has a very close relationship with Wei Changhong.
It is highly likely that after Wei Changhong retires this year, the next president of the Film Guild will be chosen from Lu Hao and several other bigwigs.
"Is it about 'Haunted House'?"
Wei Changhong spoke softly, his voice inevitably a little tired, as if he had guessed Lu Hao's intention.
"You made the decision, didn't you?"
"What's going on? Can you tell me?"
Lu Hao took a deep breath and asked again, such a big thing must have been decided by Wei Changhong himself, the vice president did not have such great authority.
And Wei Changhong must have received orders from his superiors.
"I can't do anything about this. The cause is actually quite subtle. The information I've received so far is that the wife of a high-ranking official was shopping with their daughter at the mall. The little girl, curious as she was, insisted on watching this horror film. After watching for a while, the mother and daughter were frightened. When they reported it to the police, the film was banned."
Wei Changhong said quietly, his tone neither sad nor happy, but extremely calm.
Lu Hao: ...
A little bit high.
this……
It's even more black humor than what happened just now!
Is this how you play?
"Of course, this is just gossip, but I think it's probably about housing prices. It's best not to mention it. Artistic works should serve the greater good. This movie itself has flawed values. What if some immature viewers, after watching the movie, actually imitate the characters and create a haunted house? Unstable factors must be resolved as soon as possible to avoid being passive later."
Wei Changhong spoke earnestly, paused, and then added, "And you, DreamWorks, tell Cao Gan to try to make fewer movies like that in the future, and don't use such bizarre titles. Paying attention to trafficked women is a good thing, but you must be mindful of the limits."
Lu Hao was silent for a moment and nodded.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries and hanging up the phone, I suddenly felt everything was boring and didn't want to watch the other two movies. I simply walked out of the cinema and drove out to relax.
In a sense, among the director genres, Lu Hao can be considered as a literary and artistic one.
Of course, it is not a pure literary school.
Art and commerce, about 50% to 50%.
But to be fair, if commercial considerations are not taken into account, Lu Hao would still prefer to make some profound films, believing in the theory that "literature carries the message" and "films must express something."
This type of director will inevitably have some so-called "banned film complex".
You know that a certain movie cannot be released and has been banned, but you still try your best to find it through various channels to watch it. After watching it, you light a cigarette and say it’s awesome.
Similar movies include "A Touch of Sin", "Suzhou River", "120 Days of Sodom", and "The Wolf of Wall Street".
Of course, that was in the past.
Now, as the boss of a film and television company, don’t even think about making this type of movie yourself. That is a typical act of over-exploitation.
Even though there is a film rating system in this world, it is basically useless. No matter what level of movie you make, as long as the above sentence says it is a cut, it will be a cut.
No chance to defend myself.
Thinking about this...
At this moment, Lu Hao's phone suddenly rang urgently.
After taking a look, he saw that it was Fang Jing's call. Without any hesitation, Lu Hao picked up the phone.
This is also the king of banned films.
He made hundreds of films, and quite a few of them were banned, but that happened later.
He was lucky to have come at the right time. Twenty years ago, when Hong Kong's Category III films were still allowed to be released, he was already a big star.
By now, I naturally won’t do such an outrageous thing again.
"Lu'er, do you want to watch a movie? Come to my house, we can watch a movie and drink. Jiang Wen will be there too."
Fang Jing laughed heartily. It was obvious that she had drunk quite a bit of wine, and her words were a bit drunken.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance? Are you looking for me at the last minute to make up the numbers?"
Lu Hao joked casually, "Inviting three times, calling two times, and then dragging one over, this is a bit rude. What's the point of calling me over when you're all drunk?"
"Okay, okay, brother, I was wrong. I'm here to make amends. Come on, I'm waiting for you, muah."
Lu Hao: ...
It's ridiculous that she's still acting cute at such an old age.
But I was just joking just now. He asked me if I had something to do, so I started the car and drove straight to his house.
Arrived at the destination.
Come in.
There was an air of decadence and extravagance, and the party had already begun.
