Chapter 6 Successfully convincing Sun's shopkeeper
Around 11:30 p.m
Quancheng, in a small restaurant near the Dongshan Repertory Theatre
Zuo Le saw today's goal, Bao Xiaoyong, the deputy captain of the Dongshan Repertory Theatre performance team and a national second-class actor.
"Hello, Mr. Bao. ”
"Hello, Zuo Dao. ”
It seems that he didn't expect Zuo Le to be so young, Bao Xiaoyong's face was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and shook Zuo Le's hand.
Although the area of the small restaurant is not large, there are still two private rooms, Zuo Le and Bao Xiaoyong entered the private room under the leadership of the proprietress and pushed each other, and then one person ordered two dishes, and Zuo Le asked the proprietress to add a seaweed egg drop soup.
I didn't ask for wine, Bao Xiaoyong rehearsed in the afternoon, and he couldn't drink.
When the two of them came, it was a meal, and the small restaurant was a mess, Zuo Le went out to urge twice, and the proprietress brought two dishes with an apologetic face.
The dish is served, the two of them eat, and this move of chopsticks can be said to be the right thing.
Looking at Bao Xiaoyong, who had a chopstick of yuba stuffed into his mouth, Zuo Le poured himself a glass of water and asked with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Bao, I heard Brother Chen say, you have some opinions on the script? You are an old-timer in the industry, and you have more experience than us young people. ”
Bao Xiaoyong was recommended by Chen Fatzi to Zuo Le, an old drama bone, although he does not appear much in film and television dramas, but he is a well-known figure in the drama industry, especially in Dongshan Province, he can be regarded as a top-ranked drama actor.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't won any drama awards, and the status of Dongshan Drama in the country was not as good as that of Beijing, Modu and other places, I am afraid that Bao Xiaoyong would have been rated as a national first-class actor long ago.
After Zuo Le read Bao Xiaoyong's information, he immediately asked Bao Xiaoyong to play the role of "Shopkeeper Sun" in the play.
However, he didn't want him to fall in love with others, but Bao Xiaoyong didn't fall in love with him.
can't say that he didn't like it, Bao Xiaoyong is still quite optimistic about the script of "Underground Traffic Station", but he is still a little hesitant, so he asked Chen Fatzi to take the talk, and wanted to have an interview with Zuo Le, the director and screenwriter.
That's why today's small restaurant is like this.
.........
Hearing Zuo Le's inquiry, Bao Xiaoyong put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment and said: "Director Zuo, I am friends with Beibai (Chen Fatzi), we are not outsiders, and I don't go around in circles with you."
Frankly speaking, the script is fine, I like the role of Shopkeeper Sun very much, and the remuneration is reasonable, but the only thing I'm worried about is whether our style of drama will ...... It's not serious, after all, this is the theme of the Anti-Japanese War. ”
Zuo Le understood what Bao Xiaoyong meant: "Are you afraid that "Underground Traffic Station" will be criticized as an anti-Japanese drama?"
"That's right. ”
Bao Xiaoyong nodded, and said with some emotion: "In recent years, there have been more and more such anti-Japanese war dramas in the industry, which are shoddy and have extremely poor reviews, and many actors who have participated in the show have also suffered from their reputations.
Director Zuo, I, Bao Xiaoyong, have worked hard in the regiment for so many years in my life, not to mention how much I have achieved in my career, but I have never made a mistake in terms of reputation, although I like "Underground Transportation Station" very much, but ........."
Bao Xiaoyong said that, but the meaning is obvious.
He is a person who cherishes feathers and attaches great importance to reputation, and he doesn't want to make his later season unsafe because of filming anti-Japanese dramas, and be despised and laughed at by audiences and old friends who like him.
Zuo Le understood Bao Xiaoyong's concerns, he added half a cup of tea to Bao Xiaoyong, and after a while, he spoke.
"Mr. Bao, it may be a bit rude to say this, but I think you didn't understand the drama "Underground Transportation Station", or you only saw the surface, but you didn't dig deeper.
But don't blame you, after all, it's just a script, only lines and story synopsis, which is too thin. ”
may really like this script, Bao Xiaoyong let Zuo Le's words arouse curiosity: "Director Zuo, you are a screenwriter, can you talk to me about the creative ideas of this drama?"
Shopkeeper Sun plays a very heavy role in "Underground Transportation Station", and to a certain extent, he even surpasses the protagonist Shuigen.
Bao Xiaoyong's acting skills are exquisite, and his body image is very in line with the role of Sun Shopkeeper, Zuo Le hopes that the other party will agree to participate in the performance, and seeing that his attitude has loosened, he hurriedly continued to persuade earnestly and sincerely.
"Teacher Bao, first of all, I personally hate those anti-Japanese war dramas like you.
What kind of crotch is hidden in the crotch, the grenade is down the plane, and the devil is torn by hand......... These bizarre plots not only insult the intelligence of the audience, but also desecrate the arduous War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the ancestors who put in their efforts and blood to some extent. ”
Hearing Zuo Le's confession, Bao Xiaoyong's gaze at him was obviously much softened and much closer.
As a native of Quancheng who had a tragic accident back then, Bao Xiaoyong grew up listening to his elders scolding the invaders for all kinds of evil deeds since he was a child.
In essence, Bao Xiaoyong is still a middle-aged and angry youth, so he revealed that he has an extraordinary disgust and resistance to those anti-Japanese war dramas that are under the banner of patriotism and are actually defiling the anti-Japanese war fighters.
Bao Xiaoyong deliberately refused to act in "Underground Traffic Station" before, in addition to being afraid of damaging his reputation, but also partly disgusted with the rampant anti-Japanese dramas and unwilling to join the stream.
Zuo Le's words moved Bao Xiaoyong, intentionally or unintentionally, and made him listen carefully to Zuo Le's next words.
............
"Mr. Bao, you can also see that our drama is a sitcom, so when it is announced in the future, we will explain to the audience in advance that this drama is not a drama.
In this way, it will greatly reduce the audience's various jokes and ugliness of the villain because of the play, and then label us as a drama of the Anti-Japanese War.
You can rest assured, we are a self-made drama in Dongshan Taili, and we are clear and proportionate, so we will definitely not be sloppy on this. ”
Bao Xiaoyong was born in the Dongshan Repertory Theatre, and he is also a person in the system, so he immediately knew the elegance when he heard the strings.
In some things, the official TV station is much more sober and understands the rules than those film and television companies that only know money.
Bao Xiaoyong's expression became softer and softer, and Zuo Le saw this and then struck while the iron was hot: "I told you before that you didn't understand the underground transportation station, but in fact, I wasn't talking big.
Maybe you think this drama is just a comedy that includes spy warfare, but in fact, it ignores the story background and characters.
Compared with genre spy war dramas, the most outstanding point of "Underground Traffic Station" is that it jumps out of the shackles of "elite to elite" and focuses on the people.
With the accumulation of daily life and various details, it shows the turbulent picture of the whole nation's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, seeing the big from the small, and the army and the people are united, from this point, I am confident that the theme of "Underground Transportation Station" is not inferior to any anti-Japanese war boutique TV series.
As for the plot you are worried about is too witty and lighthearted, I think it is just a tragedy with a comedy on the outside, you can go back and flip through the script, and you can feel what it means to "invade the country" from some lines.
The old shopkeeper of Qi was dug up, Bai Yi's family was killed, and even the street vendors were harassed by traitors, the guests of Dingxianglou complained, the currency depreciated, and prices soared abnormally.........
I'm not boasting, but if you read the script twice, you can see the trickiness behind the comedy.
With all this, I don't know if "Underground Transportation Station" will be recognized by the audience, but it is absolutely full of sincerity, it will not, and I will never let it become a drama of the Anti-Japanese War. ”
Zuo Le's face was full of firmness to show his attitude.
As a "drama copyist", Zuo Le has no intention of debating his moral standards.
But since he "copied" "Underground Traffic Station" out of his brain, whether it was out of guilt or from his own interests, he hoped to restore the original version of the TV series as much as possible.
Let these works of another world shine with even more brilliant light in their own world.
............
The firmness on Zuo Le's face touched Bao Xiaoyong a little, and he solemnly said to Zuo Le.
I hope Zuo Le will give him two days, and he will re-read the script of "Underground Traffic Station".
Zuo Le was naturally overjoyed, and added a flying letter to Bao Xiaoyong, saying that if Bao Xiaoyong didn't understand anything about the script, he could directly send a flying letter or call him to ask him.
At this time, the proprietress finally brought the remaining two dishes, and Zuo Le, who was in a good mood, was too lazy to worry about each other, and chatted happily while eating.
The tea was full, the two of them rushed to pay, and Zuo Le successfully swept the payment code of the proprietress with a slight advantage.
For the next two days, Zuo Le has been busy contacting other character actors.
After he found Bai Yi, Captain Huang and Nojiri's actors, Zuo Le, who was pulling takeaway in Fengyuan Community at night, received a call from Bao Xiaoyong.
