306. Investment (two-in-one)
On the way back, Ning Yuan thought that more than ten years later, such a person was still active on the screen, and he was praised for speaking without scruples, and there seemed to be a trend towards 'high morality', so he couldn't help but think of Lao Guo's words:
"Four cross talk actors, you boil that guy to death, you are an artist. ”
It seems that when you get older, regardless of your achievements and conduct, as long as you don't collapse, you will become a family when you reach the age in the circle.
But Ning Yuan felt that even if some people were praised to that role, the fact that they had no talent and no virtue could not be changed.
Not all bugs can turn into butterflies, because some may be ......?
Not only that, Ning Yuan has never felt that 'straightforward and fast-talking' is a compliment.
With the faster pace of life and the increase in pressure, many people are becoming more and more impetuous, and it is easy to hurt others by talking and doing things. ”
If you want to be angry again, it's that you're too calculating.
But the other party seems to have misunderstood a concept, honesty and not lying is just to oneself - oneself does not deceive oneself, not to 'honestly' say others, let alone hurt others, especially when others are not guilty or wrong.
Just to satisfy the pleasure of his tongue, he has no scruples. This kind of person is either stupid or bad, and Ning Yuan has always respected it.
It wasn't until middle age that Ning Yuan found that 'cautious words and deeds' was very useful, and he was fortunate to think about it in the future, and most of them opened their hearts and regretted it afterwards.
Although he has been back for a few years and has the label of a young man on his head, Ning Yuan can act a little more freely than in his previous life, but this kind of life experience, he still feels that it will not be outdated at any time.
Shaking his head, Ning Yuan didn't think about it anymore and concentrated on driving.
After entering the millennium, there are more and more cars in the capital year by year.
The first two years were all that boxy model, and now, some sleek lines are starting to emerge that look much better than before.
After going back, Ning Yuan continued to take Ning Daqiang and them to eat and drink, and today's matter, Ning Yuan only said a sentence that was not appropriate, so he didn't mention it again.
The next morning, Ning Yuan went to Han Ping's office early in the morning.
"Sit down and have a drink?"
Ning Yuan smiled: "Is there still a tip of the hair?" if you have one, let's have a little." ”
The hairy tips that can be sent to Han Ping here can only be brought by Ning Yuan, every year before and after the Qingming Festival, before the Ming Dynasty tea is on the market, Ning Yuan will ask Ning Daqiang to buy some good ones, and then give them to some elder friends.
Although this kind of hair tip is quite expensive for ordinary people, it is actually nothing for these people that Ning Yuan wants to send, Ning Yuan just expressed a heart.
Hearing Ning Yuan's words, Han Ping's face turned blank: "It's gone, it's long gone!"
"Gone?" Ning Yuan was stunned and looked at Han Ping with a smile: "It's only been a few months, are you drinking tea or taking tea for bathing?"
"It's just gone!" Han Ping glared, and then laughed:
"But there is a good Anji white tea, do you want to try it?"
"Okay. ”
As he spoke, Ning Yuan added, "I'll get you some later." ”
Han Ping smiled, didn't say anything, and then asked the secretary to make tea.
After a while, the secretary came over with tea, and Ning Yuan took it and looked at it in the white porcelain cup, and said in surprise:
"Green tea?"
Ning Yuan had also heard of Anji white tea before, but he had always loved Maojian in his hometown, and he didn't drink much other tea.
"Is it called white tea?"
Han Ping said with a smile: "Try it, I just thought that you also like to drink green tea, so I told you this." ”
Ning Yuan looked at it, and felt that the leaves were slightly larger than the hairy tips, but the hand-fried ones were damaged to varying degrees after the leaves were soaked, and compared with the snow buds and small buds at the hairy tips, they were not so good-looking, but the taste was also good.
Of course, Ning Yuan is used to drinking the hair tips, but he actually doesn't like the hair tips of the single bud head, which is just good-looking, but the taste is the same as this white tea, which is lighter.
Those tea customers in my hometown prefer to drink with leaves, and one bud and one leaf is the best quality.
If it is really ration tea, in fact, the middle bud and the secondary bud are the choice of most people.
"Tell me, what's going on with your new play?" Han Ping sat on the sofa next to Ning Yuan and said curiously:
"Did you really have it, or did you deliberately say it to anger her?"
After Ning Yuan took two sips, he put the teacup on the coffee table and said with a smile: "It's both, her words at that time really me off." ”
"What kind of drama is it?" asked Han Ping.
"A family of gold powder. Ning Yuan said.
Han Ping was stunned: "What Mr. Zhang Hatshui wrote?"
Ning Yuan nodded.
"This has made several works, not to mention Zhou Manhua in the 40s, Xiangjiang also made his movies in the late 40s and 60s, and his popularity is not low, you can gain a lot if you shoot well, but as long as there is a slight difference, I am afraid that you will be drowned in saliva. ”
Of course, this Ning Yuan understands that this one is not directly published, but has been serialized in the "World Journal" since 27 years, and it was not written until 32 years, which lasted more than five years and accumulated countless readers.
Zhang Youluan, the editor-in-chief of the "World Journal" at the time, commented that if this book is not written in chapters, but uses modern grammar, it is "Home"; if it is not, it is written as a play, it is "Thunderstorm".
Zhang Hatshui himself said that when this film was created, it was largely influenced by the "Dream of Red Mansions" that he had always liked, and the idea was similar, all of which were based on love and the decline of the big family to attack the decay at that time.
Eight years after the end, Guohua Film Company, which was in full swing at the time, adapted this movie and handed it over to the newly emerging Zhou Manhua to play Leng Qingqiu.
After its release in 41, Zhou Manhua became an instant hit, and together with the famous Zhou Xuan, he became the two pillars of Guohua Pictures.
In addition to this one, Xiangjiang also made one in 48 and 61 years, and in these two movies after thirteen years, Bai Yan played Leng Qingqiu.
On the one hand, she is popular, and on the other hand, it is also because of her excellence and dedication.
From 38 years to 62 years, Bai Yan has as few as five or six plays per year, and at most, 25 films in 50 years, 37 films in 51 years, and 24 films in 52 years, just in the past three years, there are more than 80 films, which is more than many filmmakers have made in their lives now.
Still, she was nothing at this time, because everyone was fast, and faster.
At that time, Xiangjiang was all fast gunners, much faster than Wang Jing and Wen Jun during this period, and the production cycle of a drama was only one week, who would dare to imagine it at this time? But it is reality, otherwise there would be no word 'seven days fresh'.
And Bai Yan, who is a member of the anti-'Seven Days Fresh', can know the situation at that time.
Of course, Qiri Xian does not refer to the real number of seven days, but describes the imaginary number of short time, but most of them do not exceed ten days.
For example, Wang Jing's father, Wang Tianlin, was a famous director of that period, and his memoirs were written-
From the day of the decision on Thursday, the producer immediately looks for actors, ready-made scripts or popular, a ghost director, and a team of fast-moving staff, and it can be done in one day.
At this time, everyone gets together to talk, and the director gives a general idea of how to shoot. Filming of this new drama will start on Saturday, and the dialogue will be written while filming. Sometimes you can take a copy and shoot it, and at the same time you have to print and edit it at the same time.
Shoot on Monday, at this time you may have been working for three days and three nights, the shooting part is all completed, Tuesday is doing a day of aftermath work, printing copies overnight, and Wednesday is exactly the seventh day. One copy is sent to the Film Censorship for review, and the others are sent to theaters for screening.
Of course, this is also based on the premise that the film industry was developed at that time and there was a public viewing foundation, otherwise it would not be possible to play without any of them, even if it was shoddy, it could make money, so why should it be crafted?
And there were indeed many geniuses at that time, not to mention that at that time, let's just say that a few years ago, Liu Zhenwei filmed "East Becomes West" in 27 days in order to remedy the obscure box office failure of Wong Kar-wai's "East Evil and West Poison", and as a result, it made a lot of money at the box office, and it became a high-quality product.
These experiences have made slow work full of controversy, just like Bai Yan's two "The Family of Gold Powder", the first one was filmed in 48 years, she filmed 16 films that year, and the second part was filmed in 61 years, and she filmed 12 films this year.
Despite this, these two dramas are still big hits, and the images in them are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, of course, only on the Xiangjiang side.
However, because these works are old, only some people in the industry have seen them, such as Han Ping, so Han Ping feels that Ning Yuan is actually a remake.
"Although it is difficult to have that kind of remake because of the distance, you can't be cautious as a classic. ”
Hearing Han Ping's words, Ning Yuan nodded: "So, I also dug up Li Shaohong's great hero yesterday." ”
Han Ping: (⊙o⊙)
"Is this okay?" After staring at Ning Yuan for two seconds, Han Ping was stunned and said, "How did you do it?"
Ning Yuan then hung up the phone yesterday and said his own words.
Although he didn't agree at the time, and Li Shaohong also asked him to tear up the number I wrote, I can guarantee that this will become a thorn in his heart, for this kind of arrogant artist, Li Shaohong's approach is too simple and rude, which will cause him trouble, and the more he thinks about it, the more he will feel that his self-esteem is insulted, and he will become curious about my new play. ”
Ning Yuan smiled: "As long as he contacts me, I will be sure to persuade him and let him come." ”
After all, Li Shaohong's orange is popular, and Han Ping also helped her pull the investment, of course she knows a little about Zheng Zheng, knows his talent, and when she heard this, she looked at Ning Yuan a little speechlessly:
"Sometimes I feel like you're not like you. ”
Ning Yuan understood what he was referring to, and said with a smile: "If you are good to me and respect me, I will be doubly good to him, and those who play me and trample on my dignity, I will not say that I will repay him, at least I will not let him be humiliated and do nothing." ”
"You~" Han Ping pointed at Ning Yuan, and suddenly smiled:
"This kind of mentality is a bit like your age, fighting for a moment. ”
After a pause, Han Ping said again: "In this way, your character is a little similar to the solemnity you just described, or rather, you geniuses are all temperamental. ”
Ning Yuan laughed, and Han Ping couldn't help laughing.
"Why did you suddenly think of filming this movie?" Han Ping said curiously.
Ning Yuan groaned: "Actually, I have had this idea for a long time, but I haven't thought about which actors to play, and again, I can't be an actor now, but the director is still a little worse, and I am also looking for a good director." ”
Han Ping asked, "So, what do you mean, let Zheng Zheng be the director?"
Ning Yuan nodded: "There is a plan, but he is not the only one." ”
Although Ning Yuan doesn't like Li Shaohong, she has a good saying, Zheng Zheng is talented, but his talent is the same as Ning Yuan, and he is not enough to control the overall situation.
In other words, solemnity is more suitable for the camera, scene and lines, while the overall structure and rhythm are insufficient.
So later, "Panting", which was written and directed by Zheng Zheng and starring Ge You, became a bad movie.
And Li Shaohong, who left Zhengzhong, was actually alone.
The two of them joined forces to have these two masterpieces.
However, when solemnly filming "Panting", on the one hand, there are changes in the market and the manipulation behind it, and on the other hand, he is not enough to control a film, and there are also reasons why he is exhausted, and the script itself is problematic.
And this family of gold powder does not exist, the original work is ready-made, and the adapted version is still fresh in Ning Yuan's memory, that is, there will be no problems with the script.
What Ning Yuan cares about is the polishing of shots and scenes, and this is what Zheng Zheng is good at.
Therefore, Ning Yuan will not only hand over this play to Zheng Zheng alone to direct, or rather, it is more suitable for him to serve as the art director.
As for the overall scheduling, Ning Yuan still hopes to find the two directors of the previous version - Liu Guoquan and Li Dawei, mother and son.
Coincidentally, both of them are from Beijing Film Studio.
So Ning Yuan directly asked Han Ping for someone: "It's up to you." ”
However, Ning Yuan did not ask Li Dawei directly, after all, he did not have any masterpieces at this time, and the only two were still under the name of his mother Liu Guoquan, so Ning Yuan only named Liu Guoquan, and Han Ping was also familiar with her.
In fact, including the gold powder family, many people also think that it is more due to Liu Guoquan, no matter what, when Liu Guoquan comes, she will not worry about her son.
"Okay, I'll get her back to contact you, a phone call thing. Han Ping took it all in one bite.
As for the actor, Han Ping asked:
"Do you play Jin Yanxi?"
Ning Yuan shook his head: "The Pan Yueming from my company, I think he is good, this time he played the "Can't Help It", the uninhibited temperament in it has a lot of similarities with Jin Yanxi, and this movie, he completed it very well." ”
But Han Ping shook his head: "No, his ability is not enough to control such a play, I prefer you to act, if he I don't worry, if it is you, I will invest." ”
