Hearing Zheng Zheng's straightforward words, as well as the look in his eyes, Ning Yuan smiled dumbly:

"Okay, okay, if you continue to boast, I won't be able to walk steadily in a while. ”

Laugh solemnly.

At this time, Ning Yuan's coffee was delivered, he thanked him and took a sip and then put it down, raised his head again to look at Zheng Zheng, and said:

"You don't ask, do I really want to film, or did I just want to be angry with her at that time?"

Solemnly smiled: "None of this is important, because after working together for so long, I found that although she also has some ability, there are some shortcomings in her personality that I can't bear, such as being stubborn, not listening to opinions on what I recognize, and the key is that it is wrong in the end, and she has no intention of apologizing, many times, which makes me very helpless." ”

After finishing speaking, he quickly explained: "It's not that I'm playing right and wrong, but it's such a long-term experience, and it's the reason why I came to you." ”

After a pause, he said solemnly: "If you hadn't appeared, maybe I would have insisted on finishing this filming, but after your appearance and my comprehensive understanding of you, I knew that I had found a partner, or a leader." ”

"Thank you. Ning Yuan said sincerely.

He smiled solemnly and waved his hand: "No, since we are partners, it is mutual achievement, you need to improve, and so do I, we all need new challenges." ”

Ning Yuan understood what he meant, and he didn't come over to be a subordinate, but just to cooperate.

Obviously, after staying outside for a long time, he doesn't like to be restrained and controlled, and it may be that he was suppressed and ruthlessly guarded by Li Shaohong before.

Although Ning Yuan didn't think about completely recruiting him, he also had his own thoughts:

"There is certainly no problem with collaboration, including discussing problems when encountered, but there is one point that the discussion is about making the work better, more impactful and expressive, not subject to anyone's subjective will and personal preferences. ”

Zheng Zheng has his advantages, of course, he also has his shortcomings, Ning Yuan is worried that he will let himself go in the process of adaptation, and if Ning Yuan has different opinions and ideas from him, he will take what he just said, so Ning Yuan must say it in front.

After all, there will be conflicts between Chinese culture and Western culture in some places, which is irreconcilable, and only one can be chosen, and Ning Yuan hopes that he can base himself on the work itself, rather than his personal preferences.

Ning Yuan's meaning was solemnly understood, and after thinking about it, he said:

"I understand, but you also know that sometimes the authorities may be obsessed, and I may not be aware of it when I am immersed in my work, so I need your help to remind me that as long as it is for the good of the work, I will listen to it with an open mind. ”

As he spoke, he smiled solemnly: "But you are not allowed to yell at me, just speak well." ”

Ning Yuan laughed, knowing why he came up with this sentence, it seemed that the previous cooperation had hurt him a lot.

After chatting about this, he solemnly asked about the matter:

"By the way, do you have a new drama to shoot now?"

Ning Yuan smiled and said, "I really thought you didn't care." ”

After laughing, Ning Yuan nodded and said, "There must be, except for joking, as long as I talk about serious things, I won't be untargeted." ”

"What's that?" Zheng Zheng's eyes lit up: "I remember you said that that work is similar to the age of orange red." ”

"Yes, the gold powder family, I don't know if you've heard of it?"

"What?" was stunned: "It's actually this?"

"Looks like you know, that's going to be easy. Ning Yuan said with a smile.

nodded solemnly: "I've read the original book, in fact, I personally like it, and I have rehearsed short dramas with some of the plots before, so I should say that I know better." ”

After a pause, he said solemnly: "Including the movie of Xiangjiang actor Bai Yan, when I went to Xiangjiang before, I also looked for discs in some old stores, and I really found it and watched it several times." ”

Ning Yuan was immediately overjoyed: "That's really good." ”

Zheng Zheng also smiled: "It seems that our heroes see the same thing." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and shook Ning Yuan: "Happy cooperation!"

Ning Yuan held his hand and shook it slightly: "Happy cooperation." ”

Ning Yuan used to feel that his hands were not small, but he didn't expect Zheng Zheng's hands to be bigger, but even on such a hot day, his hands were cold, and there was no sense of warmth.

Subsequently, Ning Yuan and Zheng Zheng had some framework discussions on the adaptation of the gold powder family, and the more the two talked, the more excited they became, until Zhu Xiaojing called, Ning Yuan found out that it was almost seven o'clock.

Before they knew it, the two chatted for almost an hour.

"Recently, I brought my family to the capital for a tour, before I came to you, I took them to the school, and now they are nearby, if you don't mind, have a light meal together?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Well, I'm not particular about eating. He smiled solemnly and said, "However, it won't disturb your family dinner, right?"

Ning Yuan shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, they don't pay so much attention to it." ”

......

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was the end of July, and Ning Yuan not only took Ning Daqiang and them to turn around some famous classics in the capital, but also went to the nearby Jincheng, as well as the grasslands of Mongolian Province, Liao Province and the seaside.

When it was time to leave, Ning Daqiang sighed: "It's good to have money, you can go wherever you want to go if you have money, you can play as much as you want, and you don't have to worry about life." ”

Ning Yuan said with a smile: "In the future, I will take you out to travel every year, not only at home, but also abroad." ”

Ning Daqiang hurriedly waved his hand: "It's okay at home, but forget it abroad, I can't understand a word of the bird language I said, and I go like a dumb and deaf person, and it's not funny at all." ”

Ning Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "What are you afraid of with us." ”

Saying that, Ning Yuan took the opportunity to educate Ning Yan and Ning Xue: "Study hard in the future, even if our father can't understand, you can help him translate." ”

Ning Yan looked confident: "Don't worry, my English is called a Wei Rui Good." ”

Ning Xue also said excitedly: "Yes, yes, mine is also very milky!"

Ning Yuan was a little speechless after hearing this: "As far as you have the flavor of Lingshan, it's strange that those foreigners can understand it." ”

At this time, most of the teachers in my hometown didn't even speak Mandarin in class, let alone a foreign language, with a strong accent, and most of the students could read and recognize, but they were much worse when they heard it.

At this time, the junior high school teachers basically graduated from the normal school in Xinyi City and the Huangxian Normal School in the neighboring county, all of which were secondary schools.

They take classes in these secondary schools, because they are all locals, and they all use dialects in their classes, not to mention that most of the teachers of these normal students are people from the fifties and sixties, and there are not many in the seventies, and they can only speak dialects.

Unless it is a newly assigned college student teacher, it can be said to be more standard, but basically they are all in Lingshan High School, and there are very few people who are willing to go to junior high school.

"I bought you a repeater, you learn English by heart, don't just buy a cassette tape to listen to songs. Ning Yuan said with a straight face.

"Oh, got it. Ning Yan and Ning Xue nodded.

Ning Daqiang is also the same as Ning Yuan, he is reluctant to take a plane, so Ning Yuan bought them a sleeper, but it is also convenient, and they will arrive after sleeping.

Ning Yuan just drove them to the station, and he didn't even get off the car, he was really scared by the shadow of the previous station, and besides, it was the summer vacation now, and the train station was full of people.

After returning to the company, Ning Yuan continued to discuss the script with Zheng Zheng.

And at this time, because of Han Ping's introduction, Liu Guoquan also came.

At the beginning, when I learned that Ning Yuan had found another female director, I was solemn and a little depressed, especially when the two looked similar, they both had white round faces and wore glasses.

However, as he got in touch with Liu Guoquan more, he found that not all female directors are so strong that they must be comparable.

After solemnly learning about Liu Guoquan's resume, he found that she was not like Li Shaohong, Liu Guoquan was ten years older than Li, and he was 56 years old this year.

In fact, she was also born in Beijing Film, and she was eighteen years earlier than Li Shaohong, sixty years, when she was only fifteen years old, she entered the acting department of Beijing Film, and in 93 with "Fragrant Soul Girl" Director Xie Fei, who won the Berlin Golden Bear Award, is one of her classmates.

However, among the previous graduates of Beijing Film, it is far less brilliant than the 78th class, so Li Shaohong has many stronger connections than Liu Guoquan.

Although Liu Guoquan does not have that advantage, she has rich experience, she did not act immediately after graduating from Beijing Film, but entered the army for a few years, and did not enter Beijing Film Studio until 69.

Liu Guoquan first acted as an actor and played a supporting role for more than ten years, and the audience's response was mediocre, which made her realize that her appearance was limited, so she switched to directorship.

In 83, she directed her first film "Hijacking", which distributed more than 300 copies, compared to the embarrassment of "That Mountain" that was not released a single copy, it can be said to be very successful.

She is a bit similar to Feng Xiaogang, maybe not like Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, who became famous when they were young, and they did not have the resources of Li Shaohong, and they were repeatedly frustrated, this kind of unwillingness made them think about the public's preferences thoroughly, and because of this, their early works can make the public like to watch and love to watch.

In the 80s, most of the films directed by Liu Guoquan were commercial, and since the 90s, they have begun to turn to comedy films, such as "Father and Son Classic Car" starring Chen Peisi and his father Chen Qiang, which is Liu Guoquan's masterpiece.

In addition, there is also "Comedy Star" starring Ge You and Liang Tian.

It's also quite interesting to say, the two participated in this movie directed by Liu Guoquan in 91, and eighteen years later, they reunited in the solemn "Panting".

In general, Liu Guoquan will not care about artistry as much as they do, everything is based on the preferences of most people, and if it corresponds to people's personalities, it will not be high and low, but sleek, tactful, and gentle.

In fact, her character is indeed like this, otherwise she would not have been making this kind of film and television works, including the family of gold powder-

In the eyes of the public, this drama is very good-looking, but in the eyes of many art critics, it is also criticized, saying that it does not focus on showing the truth of social history and the complexity of the human world, not the pursuit of the improvement of the state of life, but only the pursuit of sensory stimulation, there is a kind of 'love idol drama dressed in a heavy historical coat'.

Ning Yuan himself thinks that if every drama is like this, it will be the same as eating, and every meal will have to care about how many calories will be gained and what nutritional protein vitamins can be added after eating, then this kind of life is too boring.

Not only can life be diversified, but so can film and television, besides, commercial films can also be made exquisitely, and if each movie instills some complex content in the audience, what is the difference between this and having to find the main idea in an article when you go to school.

Ning Yuan likes good literary films, and he also likes commercial films that blindly seek coolness, which is not in conflict, not to mention that the family of gold fans is not as bad as those critics say, compared to many love idol dramas full of loopholes, it is already good.

solemnly treated Liu Guoquan, from vigilance to acceptance, and then because of Liu Guoquan's gentleness, he liked the atmosphere of cooperation and discussion with her.

Under such a rhythm, the two learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, continue to run in, and the script becomes more and more mature.

At this time, Liu Guoquan and Ning Yuan hesitated and said: "Mr. Ning, my son's name is Li Dawei, and he is also a director, he has followed me to shoot a few works, and he graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Beijing Film, can you ...... Well, can I ask you to get him involved?"

When she spoke, Liu Guoquan looked at Ning Yuan cautiously, and after seeing that Ning Yuan had no special expression, she hurriedly said:

"Don't worry, he is very sensible, and he has some ideas and abilities, and he won't cause chaos to the crew, I just want to take him and let him learn more, can you see it? As for the position and salary or something, you can just look at it, as long as it doesn't affect your plan." ”

Listening to Liu Guoquan's low voice, Ning Yuan sighed in his heart, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, if it weren't for his son, who would say this to a junior who is younger than his son?

Because he had planned this for a long time, Ning Yuan naturally smiled without any doubts:

"Of course you can, Director Liu is so experienced, and the son he has cultivated must be no worse. ”

Liu Guoquan was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Ning Yuan waved his hand and said: "I should say thank you, now the crew is short of talents, and having one more experienced and capable person is a good thing for me and the crew." ”

Although Ning Yuan said so, Liu Guoquan, who had long passed the age of knowing the Mandate of Heaven, had also experienced so many ups and downs, and he was naturally grateful for Ning Yuan's accommodation.

After all, he just said a word, Ning Yuan didn't even see anyone, so he agreed, which was completely to give himself enough face.

Therefore, in the next work, Liu Guoquan became more and more concerned, not only came early every day, but also left at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and continued to work after returning home.

Ning Yuan saw it in his eyes and was also moved in his heart, many times people are like this, they repay each other and achieve each other.

And Liu Guoquan's state also affected Zheng Zheng, who was also very dedicated, including Li Dawei later, as well.

Their diligence has also allowed the rest of the company to be driven, and everyone is busy in their posts.

A few days later, Ning Yuan took Pan Yueming and Liu Ye and Meng Hui on the plane to Moscow.
