Lao Huo is a liberal.

Not a liberal in political support, but a liberal in life.

In fact, not only Lao Huo himself, but even his former friends couldn't imagine that he could have such a change.

Now that he is close to 80 years old, he is a die-hard fan of golf and baseball every day, and he can't imagine that he was just a diligent baker back then.

His son Arthur once asked him this question.

Lao Huo thought about it later, and it may be related to the early death of his wife.

This incident had a great impact on Lao Huo.

After the death of his wife, facing the decades of life that he is about to continue, Lao Huo has a feeling of reliving his life.

He also saw the problem of his son's singleness that he had been worried about with his wife before.

And he himself began to try to enter a new life, a new personal experience.

Over the years, he has studied, played music, and even mingled in the circle of young people, trying to understand their lives. Later, after a lot of careers and experiences, he began to turn to something that would be more rewarding for his soul.

As a result, golf, baseball, ball games, and more, have become a large part of his life now.

At least, after so much, Lao Huo now feels that he no longer has many regrets in his life.

If God comes over now and lets him follow him, Lao Huo can also calmly say: It's enough to come once!

Eaten.

My son went upstairs to get busy with work.

Lao Huo shook it in the garden outside, dissipated his appetite, and then returned to the living room on the first floor, sat on the sofa, and saw the open book "Actor's Self-cultivation" next to him.

Raising his eyebrows, he took the book over again and looked at some of the testimonials on the front and back covers.

Especially on the back, in addition to some Orientalists he basically doesn't know, but they are not famous, the evaluations of several Hollywood celebrities such as Tom Hanks are particularly conspicuous.

Evaluations, or testimonials, if you look closely, you can see some clues.

Some people have a high status and a lot of fame, but there is no "content" in his evaluation, just empty praise and a list of words, then it means that either this book is really nothing to read, or this evaluator is strong on the outside and has no real skills.

These things are very easy to see.

Especially for people like Lao Huo.

Putting on his glasses, he perused some of Tom Hanks' testimonials, and was basically able to guess a little.

Others, including those Orientalists and even Leonardo, are more or less able to see some vague, meaningless evaluations in their comments.

On the contrary, it is Tom Hanks's evaluation, after Lao Huo has read it carefully, he can even roughly know from the inside, what kind of concept and system this book is mainly intended to express.

This is very important.

Although it is said that people like Lao Huo read books extensively, they will not really study any theories seriously.

However, these important things still have a great impact on his perception of a book.

If there is no recommendation from Tom Hanks in the recommendation behind it, Lao Huo's perception of this book can only be said to be middle and lower.

With this paragraph of Tom Hanks, when he opened the first chapter and read the preface, the expectation and seriousness were much higher.

The preface mainly depends on the author's own creative ideas and ideas.

After reading it, Lao Huo only had one feeling, comfortable.

This preface, both in terms of words and the elaboration of the content, is very comfortable for him to read.

This is a translated book, this is the premise.

But this translated preface, first, is very authentic, and second, the whole content introduction is not too obscure, or verbose, but like a wisp of fresh wind, which makes Lao Huo feel very comfortable.

The text is very comfortable, and the content introduction also makes him feel some interest after reading it.

Both the original author and the translator are masters.

Immediately after, he opened the text and officially began to read it.

"Chapter 1, Initial Testing. Today, we are all very excited, waiting for director Confucius to give us our first lesson. However, he came to the classroom ......"

Seeing this, Lao Huo went in.

Sitting there, looking at his neck and legs, and his arms were a little stiff, he leaned back on the sofa and watched, and the more he looked, the more fascinated he became, and he didn't feel drowsy at all.

Unconsciously.

He didn't even notice the sound of birdsong in the garden outside.

Until, Arthur yawned, came out of the upstairs room, and was a little surprised to see Lao Huo reading a book on the sofa downstairs.

It was bright outside, around seven o'clock in the morning.

The chandelier on the top of the hall is still on, and with Lao Huo's tone, this kind of thing will never happen.

But now, this scene downstairs made him feel a little confused.

"Old Huo?"

He stepped down and asked softly.

"Huh

Lao Huo turned his head, glanced at his son Arthur, and twisted his neck, "You haven't slept yet?"

"I ......"

Arthur's eyes widened, a little confused.

......

After the news of the popularity of "Actor's Self-cultivation" in the West spread to the East and China, the media on major platforms also rushed to report it.

Over the years, in addition to those top writers, some books by literary scholars have won awards in the West before they can be sold in the West.

And Lin Bao's book, which lacks both the award bonus of Zenghui and the attributes of a storybook, is definitely a great honor to be able to get such a result.

Moreover, this is a book of performance theory.

The elaboration of the performance system in it can be said that it has been initially recognized by professionals in the East and the West.

Over time, the book's system of performance theory has been truly taught, learned, and its accolades and contributions can be measured not only by the number of copies sold, or the awards it has received.

This is a book that has the real potential to change the entire global film and television performance system.

A subversive, or rather classic, work.

Milestone glory.

......

The sales data of "The Self-cultivation of Actors" in the West was transmitted back to the studio, and the whole studio was also jubilant.

Although it is said that the sales volume in the West in the first week, the royalties that Lin Bao can get here are no more than two million.

However, it represents a successful step towards the internationalization of the content production of the entire studio.

In the big way, it also represents the entire Oriental country, and everyone is also honored.

However, the celebration only lasted for a little more than a day, and then, in mid-July, the promotion of Lin Bao's first opera film had also begun.

Before that, the entire movie was kept secret, and even several leading actors always thought that the name of the movie was "Drama".

However, after the promotion began in July, the name of "Farewell My Concubine" was officially announced.

For Lin Bao's new movie, there has been news on the Internet since last year, when the movie had not yet started filming.

Especially Lin Bao even stopped the live broadcast, and netizens also speculated.

It wasn't until the film's opening ceremony that the media invited to the scene spread the news of the entire new movie.

However, every movie, from script conception, to shooting, to post-production, to release, the cycle is very long.

Therefore, in the past six months or so, as other hot news has continued to come out, the popularity of news about Lin Bao's new movie has gradually faded.

And in mid-July, the news of the new movie entered the eyes of netizens again, and everyone suddenly discovered that the new movie was coming so soon!

"Lin Bao's first film and the first opera film in China, "Farewell My Concubine", will be officially released in major theaters in China at 0:00 on October 1st!"

As soon as the news came out, that night, related topics such as "Lin Bao's new movie" and "Farewell My Concubine" rushed to the hot search.

"Fuck, Lin Bao's debut is about to be released!

"Yes! Didn't I hear that the script that only existed last year was only started in March this year? so fast!"

"After all, it's the boss of Bao'er, everything is fast, he writes songs quickly, and he also creates on the spot!

"If you take it out so quickly, I'm actually a little worried about the quality. ”

"I really don't want Lin Bao's debut to be smashed!,However,The machine opened in March,It's only been a few months in between.,Isn't it a little anxious......"

"Maybe it's also to catch up with the National Day file!"

"Catching up with the National Day file is the most wrong decision!"

"This time Hollywood's "The End of the World" is menacing, haven't you seen that the new films of the national teacher have been avoided!

"Perhaps, Lord Lin Bao has his own ideas......"

"If you have to talk about the cycle, in fact, think about it, the script was written by Lin Bao himself, and the director is also him. In addition, in terms of the crew, it is said that it is also the top literary film team on the Tang side, and the actors are also some old actors. In addition, Lin Bao is still a master of acting, so it is not too incredible to shoot quickly. ”

"Old actor, hehe, Yu Chenghao understands! Lu Yuan understands!"

......

On the Internet, as soon as the news of the new movie came out, the comments of netizens began to be overwhelming.

In addition to some die-hard fans expressing ironclad support, more is still about the short shooting cycle of the entire movie, and how high the quality of a literary and cultural film can be, including some controversies such as choosing to release it on the National Day.

However, there is nothing malicious about these controversies.

Concerns are more often expressed.

After all, Lin Bao has always been in the field of music creation, music education, and even a performance theory book that he suddenly wrote out somehow, which has given everyone a huge shock and psychological expectations.

Therefore, for Lin Bao's new movie, which is also a new work, everyone must still maintain a very big expectation.

However, according to the current situation, the information revealed by the entire movie shooting makes everyone feel a little panicked.

It is not without precedent for a small-budget movie, short-term and fast, and a wonderful plot to be made.

But the key is that Lin Bao's "Farewell My Concubine", whether it is the lineup, investment, or what you want to express, all need to be polished for a long time, and it is definitely not possible to really shoot it in such a short period of time.

If the deadline is rushed, the result, even if Lin Bao is there, the quality is not too experienced, or even not too good.

In this world, there are many amazing and glamorous directors.

There are many examples of failures.

There are also many successful examples.

These examples of failure, as well as examples of success, all illustrate a truth, good works can withstand the precipitation of time, and at the same time, they also need time to polish.

In the face of various voices on the Internet, including the Opera Association, Tang Dynasty, and Lin Bao Studio, everyone tried their best to respond, including letting a few actors and crew members come forward to participate in some activities and do some publicity.

Although it is said that responding to public opinion and speaking with works is the most powerful.

But it is because of such contempt that a good work is ruined by public opinion in the end, at least in the short term, and it is not for nothing.

At the same time of publicity, the theater schedule is also a point that the studio is very concerned about.

If you schedule it, because it involves various interest issues, you won't look too much at the face of Lin Bao's studio.

After all, there are Hollywood blockbusters on the other side, as well as several domestic blockbusters that are not bad.

Even the opera association can play a limited role in this.

The most important theater operation is to tear up the film, and it depends on the Tang people.

As a top-level film and television theater chain in China, although Tang Ren is not known for distribution, it also has some of its own theater chains, as well as some theater relationship contracts.

In recent years, the Tang people have continuously produced many acclaimed and acclaimed works.

Especially last year's "Crazy Stone", which pushed the stock and market value of Tang people to the peak.

Therefore, in terms of cinemas, Tang people still have a certain amount of weight to speak.

But even so, when they really started to fight against several other films, especially Hollywood's "End of the World", and tore the film from other theater bigwigs and distribution bigwigs, they still encountered a lot of difficulties.
