Jiang Wen stared at the leaves swinging in the wind, closed his eyes and brewed his emotions for about 2 minutes. At this time, a drizzle suddenly floated down in the cloudy sky. He opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Live on the railing and listen to the rain quietly."

"Seven words..." Huang Jianxing, the old director of China Film, immediately became depressed. How could he dare to compare with a talented and arrogant artist like Jiang Wen? He could think about the five words. The seven words were too long. He raised his eyes and thought for a long time.

"Hurry up~ Mr. Huang, you are the pillar of our Zhongying, so you have to give me some advice~" Jiang Wen looked at the old Zhongying boy with a smile and said.

"Wait ~ Don't urge... I'll think about it~" Huang Jianxing protested with a beard and stared at the table, looking at the dish full of dishes, and after a few minutes, he stared at the plate of spicy shredded potatoes, and stuttered, "On the table... I'll try layers of shredded silk?" After that, he also ate the shredded potatoes happily, looking very proud.

Seeing Jiang Wen shook his head and sighing repeatedly, Li Xiaole couldn't help laughing. Huang Jianxing was indeed an old naughty boy. This was a spoof. He also admired Jiang Wen's literary talent in his heart.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they think that those who make movies and TV are just like street vendors, relying on professional skills to make a living. In fact, whether in the mainland or North America, the best in the film and television industry, the cultural attainments of this film and television industry are definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine, and they can be called versatile in almost all fields.

Not to mention the genius figures recognized in various fields of music, calligraphy, and painting, such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, who are generally considered to be a bit "sloppy" in the outside world, they are all completely talented men.

The Film Bureau used to go to Tokyo to conduct a cultural exchange activity with the Japan Film Bureau. Many of the Japanese filmmakers who came to participate at that time had high Chinese cultural literacy, including a director named Kinoshima, who was also an expert in Tang poetry.

Several Japanese filmmakers were intrigued at the exchange meeting and wrote poems on the spot and invited Chinese colleagues to sing together. Since the two talented directors, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, were not present in the circle at that time, the people from the visiting group of the Film Bureau were stunned. Not to mention that many of these administrative cadres could write poems, even if they could write a few limericks, they had to search for the dry intestines and think about it for a few days before they could make a sentence.

Seeing that the Chinese Film Bureau was about to be embarrassed, Jiang Wen, who was only a young actor at that time, stood up from the corner and calmly followed a song, responding to his Japanese colleagues, which finally helped the Chinese filmmakers.

At that time, everyone realized that this young actor from the Central Academy of Drama was hidden. Director Wang of the Western Film Studio was also amazed by Jiang Wen's talent that day, so he disagreed with the public and let Jiang Wen, who was only 32 years old, play the 50-year-old Qin Shihuang in "Song of Qin".

In the industry, everyone knows that the director industry should be a comprehensive art. If you focus on shooting, you will always be second-rate. If you want to move up, you need to have a more level of cultural heritage.

Li Xiaole understood this truth and made a lot of other efforts to open up his own knowledge, but he did not make any progress. However, he had seen the pair that Jiang Wen had found. Out of kindness, he used his fingers to dip wine and secretly wrote a few words on the table in front of Huang Jianxing. Huang Jianxing immediately understood and shouted:

"Xiao Jiang~Xiao Jiang~~I thought about it again~"

"Tell me." Jiang Wentou didn't even take a sip of wine back, and didn't expect any good sentences from this old director to pop up.

"Through the window~~The beautiful and scented wind." Huang Jianxing said deeply.

"Do you read it again?" Jiang Wen turned around in surprise when he heard it.

"It's... the beautiful wind across the window." Huang Jianxing felt a little guilty.

Jiang Wen came over and looked at his eyes. Huang Jianxing immediately raised his hand and surrendered, laughing: "Okay~ Xiao Jiang, I was wrong. This was all taught by Director Xiao Li." He pointed at Li Xiaole.

"Xiao Li?" Jiang Wen turned around and looked at Li Xiaole strangely this time, staring at Li Xiaole's eyes with his domineering look: "Did you think of this word temporarily?"

"Well, I'm talking nonsense. I used to read books and read similar things." Li Xiaole was not humble. He was not as good as this level. It was just that he had read all the books of Jiang Wen. He had read this couple in Jiang Wen's book "The Long Sky Over the Great Clouds".

He had followed Jiang Wen, the crew of "The Sun Rises As Always", and knew that Jiang Wen liked poetry and also admired those who could write ancient poems. When the crew of "The Sun Rises As Always", many deputy directors in the circle cried and shouted to join Jiang Wen's crew, but the competition was fierce. One of them arranged a poem by Qu Yuan and sent it to Jiang Wen, and he was immediately selected for the crew.

Those who are familiar with Jiang Wen know that he is a wild and unruly person, and he is so crazy that he despises most of his colleagues. Once, after he got drunk, he gave himself a self-evaluation: "I am a first-class poet, a second-rate director, and a third-rate actor~"

He is recognized as one of the best acting skills in the mainland. He also calls himself a third-rate. It is conceivable that in his mind, his own director and poetry writing skills are of great talent. In one day, Li Xiaole can compete with him in two areas that he is most proud of, which shocked Jiang Wen.

"So that's it." Jiang Wen saw Li Xiaole's eyes not panic at all, and knew that he was not lying. He couldn't help laughing and hugged his shoulder hard and said:

"Xiao Li~ I see you have a good experience. I heard that you made a pretty good movie in Korea. This is how it is. I don't have enough staff in this new movie. Why don't you help me become an assistant director? I just don't have an experienced person here."

Jiang Wen actually wanted to make himself an assistant director? Li Xiaole felt ecstatic when he heard this. This was something he had dreamed of in his previous life, but then he immediately thought of the actual problem.

Although the film "The Sun Rises As Always" he is about to shoot is extremely exciting and has a high artistic level of top-notch in mainland movies, it almost completely does not meet the aesthetics of ordinary audiences. The box office can be said to be a crushing defeat. If you get involved, you will be in trouble as long as you can't afford it.

"Teacher Jiang, this may not work..." Li Xiaole thought clearly about his position, but could only sigh and refuse, feeling very regretful in his heart.

"What do you mean? You dislike my movie." Jiang Wen's voice immediately became deeper when he heard this answer. He was going to make a movie. Not to mention Beijing Film Studio, even the entire China Film Group didn't know how many people broke their heads and wanted to join his crew. You kid aren't interested? It's really a big style.

"I actually really want to learn from you in my heart, but I think the story you told me just now is definitely unacceptable to ordinary audiences. Judging from the market rules, the box office may not meet expectations." Li Xiaole told the truth.

"I can't meet expectations?" Jiang Wen woke up halfway after hearing this. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Xiaole. The arrogant aura immediately appeared. The old naughty boy Huang Jianxing stopped talking and looked at the two of them nervously. He dared to say this in front of Jiang Wen. They were not going to fight.

Li Xiaole couldn't help but sweat nervously, but he understood that now was the best time for him to impress Jiang Wen.

Zhang Yimou once commented on Jiang Wen this way:

"He is very good at acting, very smart, very thoughtful, and very capable. And I think he must be a good director, he has such a heart. He is just a person who wants to be a commander, not a soldier below. His heart is very high and he also has this ability. He hopes to surpass anyone. My opinion is that if he doesn't say it, he may think that Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jia Zhangke, and Lu Chuan are nothing. He is really a person with a higher heart. I think in his heart he must want to surpass contemporary Chinese directors, and he is stronger than these people. He really thinks like this, but he doesn't admit it.

Li Xiaole knew that Jiang Wen was not something that a young director like him could control at this stage. To put it simply, Jiang Wen is really in the period of self-inflation. He didn't even look down on a master like Zhang Yimou, let alone a small person like him, Li Xiaole.

Compared to business, Jiang Wen's filming of "Sunny Days" in 1995 received 10 million viewers in China, more than twice as high as his "Sexy Is Empty".

Compared with art, Jiang Wen's debut film swept the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and also praised 17-year-old Xia Yu as the youngest Venetian actor in history. His second work, "The Devils Are Coming", which has not been released so far, also won the Cannes jury award.

Of course, Jiang Wen should look down on him. Li Xiaole knew in his heart that now was his opportunity. Jiang Wen should realize that as a director, Li Xiaole had a stronger opportunity than Jiang Wen in some respects.

"Yes, I think this movie will definitely not be able to recover the investment." Li Xiaole suddenly put away his smile, calmly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Have you seen my movie?" Jiang Wen suddenly laughed, as if he had heard the most interesting thing in the world.

"I have watched it. The recent movie "The Devils Are Coming" is very exciting, but not perfect." Li Xiaole knew that to shake someone, he would hit the part he valued the most. Although Jiang Wen's first movie "The Sunny Day" was a hit at the box office, he once admitted in an interview that he felt that there was a lot to improve in this debut work.

"The Devils Are Coming" has invested millions because it was banned by the Film Bureau. Jiang Wen confirmed that he was the most awesome and perfect movie he had made. Because the movies that could not be released will not be criticized. The film industry is full of praise, and even those who don't like Jiang Wen are criticized for him.

The lack of criticism, and the failure to release became a flawed beauty, and it was evaluated as "perfect", which made Jiang Wen himself believe that the "Ghosts Come" which is known as a classic black and white film of a generation is his most peak work.
