Chapter 106: Persuasion

"Hello, Mr. Chen!" Mama Liu greeted with a smile.

"Teacher Chen, hello!" Yang Zhu bowed down respectfully and shook hands with the elegant-looking man in front of him.

Then take a look at this quaint house, well, this senior really knows how to enjoy it......

"Director Yang, no, I'll still call you the director of the Six Thousand Afterlife, I prefer your name, sit!" Chen Daomin showed a just right smile, and pointed to the sofa very casually, easily shrouding the two of them in their aura, but inexplicably narrowing the relationship between each other.

"Awesome!" Yang Zhu looked at Chen Daomin, who was full of lightness, but there was a faint coercion between his eyebrows, and secretly admired.

"I watched Director Liuqian's recent movie, it's good, it's a great fight for our Huaxia. Chen Daomin brought two glasses over and gently placed them in front of the two.

"Mr. Chen has won the award, it's just a blind shot, and the audience is just a novelty. Yang Zhu looked honest.

"Hehe, the director of 6,000 is humble, and the audience is not a fool, if it is really filmed blindly, how can it have such a good result?"

Chen Daomin smiled: "And I like the things you told in the first half of the movie, in our country, too many people think that the outside world is heaven......"

Yang Zhu smiled, and saw that Chen Daomin wanted to turn this meeting into a homely posture, so he didn't take it anymore.

Picked up the cup, looked at the fat and tender green leaves erected in the cup, and took a sip gently:

"Lu'an melon slices?"

Immediately, he frowned invisibly, and said with some regret: "The process of sharpening the sword punch, but unfortunately it should be the material of the python cave." ”

Chen Daomin snorted in some surprise: "Can you drink it?"

The corners of Yang Zhu's mouth showed a little teasing, and he glanced at Chen Daomin slightly, and did not say anything.

………………

Liu(lu) Angua Pian is produced in Dabie Mountain, although it is known as one of the top ten famous teas in China, since the middle of the Braided Dynasty, it has become a royal tribute, and after the establishment of New China, it has become one of the special tea products and national gift tea products of the Military Commission;

A few years ago, the three villages of Lengshuichong, Mojianchong and Liushuchong in Dushan Town began the restoration of the traditional craft of Lu'an Gua Pian, although the craftsmanship of the three villages is slightly different, but in general, the tea made is indeed a little more tender than before;

But...... Even with the same process, this tea is also up and down.

Generally speaking, the southernmost "Bat Cave" tea farm is considered to have the strongest flavor, while the other tea fields will have a blander material;

The "Python Cave" mentioned by Yang Zhu is located in the easternmost part of the entire tea area, although the tea produced cannot be said to be bad, but in the mouth of the old tea customers, it can only be regarded as the most ordinary "hospitality tea".

And Chen Daomin, as a well-known tea maker in the entertainment industry, if you want to say that he doesn't have good tea or doesn't know the difference, Yang Zhu resolutely doesn't believe it, and the only explanation is that Chen Daomin doesn't pay much attention to the visit of the two, and the polite attitude in it is obvious.

………………

was recognized by Yang Zhu, an old tea guest, Chen Daomin did not look embarrassed, and smiled:

"I can't imagine that the six thousand directors are also from this way, what kind of tea do you like to drink, I'll see if there is anything here, and I'll change it for you!"

Yang Zhu pursed his lips: "I like to drink Shengpu, the best ones are bitter bases, such as Lao Man'e or Ban Pen or the like, and that card is fine." ”

Chen Daomin looked at the young man with some surprise: "I don't have these three here, huh...... How's it going?"

Yang Zhu nodded: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Chen Daomin directly asked the two of them to move their positions, sat down at a big tea table, and found tea leaves on the tea shelf at the back, and boiled water to brew them.

"I can't imagine that the director of 6,000 is not very old, but the taste of tea is very heavy, but young people still have to pay attention, otherwise they are prone to stomach problems and insomnia. Chen Daomin said casually while making tea, but it seemed to have a hint of precept.

Yang Zhu raised the tea soup he had just separated with both hands, and took a sip gently, as if with a hint of satisfaction and a hint of regret and said:

"I'm a vulgar person, and I've always thought that tea is better than bitterness, at least it can refresh you;"

"After all, in my opinion, the spiritual attributes of this thing are greater than the material attributes,"

"If all the tea in the world is soft and sweet, won't it lose its original meaning?"

Chen Daomin looked at him with a smile and swallowed the tea soup in his cup in three bites: "So in the works filmed by 6,000 directors, the content is so intense?"

Yang Zhu smiled: "Whether it's intentional or not, anyway, I don't want the second [Pacifier Plan] to appear in China, so I can make a fuss at will while I am young and can still be arrogant." ”

When Chen Daomin heard this, his pupils shrank, and he began to look at the young man in front of him a little seriously.

………………

The so-called pacifier plan is a strategic plan formulated by US imperialism in 1995 by convening 500 elites from economic and political circles around the world.

The general content of the plan is to alleviate the discontent of the domestic people by vigorously promoting all kinds of light-hearted entertainment content, and to find a channel for them to anesthetize their spirits and vent their negative emotions, so as to stabilize the rule of the elite;

Stripped of other aspects, there are three vicious aspects of this plan;

First, as the time of the people at the bottom is increasingly allocated to entertainment programs that seem to please them, they have less and less time to learn and improve their abilities, and the gap between them and the elite who insist on high-pressure learning is becoming more and more obvious.

It can be said that if left unchecked, the actual viability of the people at the bottom will deteriorate to an incredible level, and in the end there will be no other way out but to cling to the elite like slaves.

Second, as the trend of entertainment to death has swept the world, due to the seizure of too much mental space, young people from all over the world without "elite inheritance" have become more and more superficial in their understanding of their own history and culture, and even begin to forget directly, thus greatly diluting the national cohesion of various countries around the world.

Third, with the infiltration of entertainment programs with the United States as the center of the storm, more and more young people have been "Americanized", and countless Muyang dogs have appeared, who are proud to learn European and American "cultures" and abandon the traditional culture of their own countries, setting off a wave of "American slaves" from the bottom up, while the United States can easily install its own chess pieces in these countries.

………………

After a little hesitation, Chen Daomin looked at Yang Zhu: "But I read your script, this drama doesn't seem to have anything to do with what you just said, right?"

Yang Zhu saw that he had finally turned the topic to the topic, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at him with a somewhat disappointed expression;

"Hmm...... Mr. Chen, to be honest, if you look at this drama like this, I am a little disappointed. ”

Chen Daomin's eyebrows were raised, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a slight amplitude: "Oh? ”

Yang Zhu sorted out his thoughts and said word by word:

"Mr. Chen, let's not talk about too big a topic, let's talk about film and television culture, how do you think we should reverse the bad trend of young people admiring European style?"

Chen Daomin has obviously thought about this topic for a long time: "It is nothing more than to publicize the brilliant history and culture of our country, promote the positive energy of China, and awaken the national cohesion of the Chinese people through the history of modern humiliation." ”

Yang Zhu smiled: "In recent years, there have been a lot of these types of film and television works, and many of them are big productions in which you have participated, do you think the attitude of young people has changed?"

Chen Daomin's face was a little unsightly, and he shook his head slightly heavily.

Yang Zhu looked at him with a slight mockery in his tone: "That's because, although the way you just said is generally not bad, the expression method and the focus of the work are wrong. ”

"Today's young people play with personality and like cool culture, how many young people will really watch such a dull and serious film and television work you make?"

"You know, what they like to spread and study is what makes them stand out"

"Therefore, if you really want to reverse this situation, you must either greatly relax the scale of content, so that they can doubt their lives and feel painful;"

"Or, concretize these cultural elements into a super cool concept and image, and let them find a topic to show off. ”

"And my film is to concretize and cool some cultural connotations of China, so as to achieve the purpose of arousing young people's interest in traditional culture;"

"I believe that with our thousands of years of cultural heritage, those young people really want to look into it, and then compare our Chinese culture with those European and American cultures, and you will find that those things abroad are scum!"

"You know, the biggest problem in China now is that these young people are too lazy to get in touch with traditional culture, rather than lack the ability to find the shining point. ”

Chen Daomin thought carefully for a moment and raised his head: "Director Yang, I admit that the questions you said are very reasonable, but I want to know, how are you going to do what you just said?"

Yang Zhu heard him call himself Director Yang, and he was overjoyed, knowing that this old-timer had finally begun to face himself.

Unceremoniously waving his arms at the moment.

"First, true!"

"I plan to spend 100 million yuan to train all actors, including those supporting roles, for more than half a year, and strive to achieve and restore and beautify the image of the ancients with every eye movement, and the feeling of costumes is absolutely not allowed on the screen!"

"Three different factions, with three different etiquette systems, is absolutely refreshing. ”

"In the same way, the situation that you are worried that the young lead actor will rot a drama will definitely not appear in me!"

"Second, deep!"

"This film is actually a philosophical film dressed in the garb of Xianxia, we do not pursue the implicit picture metaphor of traditional films, but strive to bring everyone a deep enough sense of substitution through a series of meticulous behaviors and dialogues."

"Just like the [Six Paths] of Buddhism, everyone will always find a trace of their own deep shadow in the role of this movie to a greater or lesser extent;"

"Third, forced qualification"

"In addition to the beautified physical etiquette, this movie uses a lot of dialogues similar to the ancient [Cautionary Essays], which can not only be relatively straightforward for the audience to understand, but also have enough artistic conception to leave blank;

"For young people, these lines that seem to be compelling will instantly give them the urge to show off and spread!"

"Fourth, cool"

"We have invested 150 million in special effects budget, and the action system and fighting pictures are neither those old-fashioned sword flights, nor the fists and feet of those people in the rivers and lakes;

"In addition to being cool, the actions of each fight screen can also concretize the corresponding cultural symbols!"

"Of course, we're only halfway through the system, and we need to gather people to brainstorm the rest. ”

"I believe that with enough cultural connotations to support it, these cool actions that are most likely to be noticed and shared by young people will arouse the interest of more people;"

"Compared to these cool and mysterious actions, those silly European and American fight pictures are scum!"

"Fifth, Music and Poetry"

"In the next place, I barely have a small reputation in the area of ancient music;"

"The work...... At least not too many people have spit on it yet;"

"I also wrote a tune and a poem for this film, which should be okay. ”

"I guess it can add some color to the movie. ”

………………

"To sum up, I have reason to believe that as long as I can solve the problem of actors,"

"This movie will definitely become a Chinese Xianxia;"

"It should be said that it is a new benchmark in the history of Chinese cultural films!"

Yang Zhu said this, looking full of confidence;

And Chen Daomin was also thrilled when he heard it, it seems that this young man has done a lot of homework, thinking of what he knew about him before, it seems that this movie with an investment of up to 500 million should give him a surprise.

And Liu's mother, who couldn't interject on the side, was her eyes shining, it seems that this master is really very attentive to Nannan, as long as he can really do what he just said, no, as long as he can do half of it, his daughter is a classic role.

Seeing the corners of Chen Daomin's slightly drooping eyes constantly jumping, Yang Zhu knew that today's goal could be achieved, but ......

He sighed slightly: "It's a pity ......"

Chen Daomin raised his head: "Director Yang, what is the pity?"

Yang Zhu said with some regret: "It's a pity that Mr. Wang Zhiwen can't participate, and one of the three extremely important roles is missing;"

"And...... According to the matching degree of character image, you can only settle for the second best thing and let you play the role of [Ghost King];"

"But...... To be honest, I'm a little worried. ”

Chen Daomin picked his eyes: "Director Yang is worried that I won't be able to act?"

Yang Zhu hesitated, but nodded: "I'm not afraid of offending you, I do have this worry." ”

"To put it a little presumptuous, your personal color is too strong, some habits are too solidified, and the main body of all images is [Chen Daomin];"

"Therefore, no matter what role you play, everyone's first impression will be Chen Daomin, not the role that should appear in this script;"

"It's okay in the TV series, you can gradually add some details to gradually give the audience a relatively new feeling;"

"But it's a movie after all, it's fast-paced, and you're not the main character, so you don't have enough time to add to the details;"

"So ......"

Chen Daomin laughed a little, for so many years, it was the first time that someone doubted his acting skills in front of him;

"Director Yang, I admit that you have your own set of understanding of movies;"

"But I want to say that as an actor who has been in the industry for decades, I still have some confidence in my acting skills;"

"That's it, whether we succeed or fail today, we can be regarded as having a good conversation,"

"Let's come to the scene for a while, one is to help the fun, and the other is to make me have a good time!"

Yang Zhu showed a hesitant expression, and finally gritted his teeth: "Cheng!"

"Then I'm presumptuous,"

"That's it, let's have a section of [First Meeting at the Tea Stall], which is the part where the ghost king and the male protagonist just met, and it is also the first time that the ghost king appears on the screen, how about it?"

Chen Daomin picked up the script and looked at it twice, a little unhappy: "Are you afraid that I will lose my old face and lose my old face, so you deliberately gave me such a simple play?"

Yang Zhu smiled silently,

Chen Daomin looked at him and sighed: "It's done!"

Stood up, closed his eyes and was silent for a few seconds, then moved;

I saw him hang his head slightly, take two steps with an unhurried pace, glance at Mama Liu next to him with the corner of his oblique eyes, and then pick out a trace of an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth;

Pretended to take out a penny from his sleeve and threw it in front of Yang Zhu: "Boss, a bowl of wontons, clear soup, don't put anything." ”

Yang Zhu, who looked very busy, responded casually;

Chen Daomin didn't care about him, his eyes swept around casually, raised his eyebrows slightly, then swept his sleeve, and sat down on the chair slowly;

Yang Zhu picked up a teacup and put it in front of him,

Chen Daomin seemed to be really a bowl of wontons in front of him, and ate it slowly, but the corner of his eye swept over Liu's mother from time to time, and then as if he had found something interesting, he showed a playful smile;

After a while, Chen Daomin stood up, didn't look at Liu's mother again, took a slightly lazy step, and left with his head sideways;

Yang Zhu stopped him: "Hey, guest, you haven't paid yet!"

Chen Daomin turned around, tilted his head, stared at Yang Zhu with a funny expression, and saw that Yang Zhu was still staring at him, so he nodded and said in a mocking tone: "Okay, okay, Yiwen, come, here you go." ”

Pretended to pull a penny out of his cuff and handed it over, then turned to leave.

……

After the performance, Yang Zhu's brows furrowed, and he hung his head and didn't know what he was thinking;

Chen Daomin, who was originally quite confident, saw his expression, and was a little uncertain, and asked softly, "Director Yang, is there anything wrong?"

The tone was a little lighter;

Yang Zhu raised his head, stopped talking, and finally sighed: "Teacher Chen, it's a big problem!"

Chen Daomin's face became a little serious: "What do you say, Director Yang, are you pointing?" There was a hint of doubt in his tone.

Yang Zhu scratched his cheeks: "Teacher Chen, let's not talk about his habitual actions, after all, this can be corrected on the spot;"

"The real trouble is...... You haven't grasped the verve of the character, which means that you haven't really understood what the character is trying to say. ”

Chen Daomin raised his eyebrows, for an old actor, this kind of evaluation can be said to be dead, which is equivalent to the director giving you a failing grade.

Yang Zhu looked at the expression on his face and smacked his mouth: "Teacher Chen, let's take a look;"

"First of all, although this character is the co-leader of the Demon Sect, his identity is high, and he has the [Dao] in his heart;"

"However, it is also written in the script and the biographies of the characters that the essence of the Demon Cult is [Wu], an instinctive faction that integrates knowledge and power;"

"They, like the other two factions, treat mortals like ants;"

"So, do you think, how can such a person with such a high status and pride in his heart have a lot of trouble with a tea stall owner?"

"So, your last ridiculous tone and those extra two sentences have infinitely lowered the character's compulsion;"

"Just imagine, how can a lion who cares about ants become the king of all beasts?"

Chen Daomin suddenly realized, and then humbly asked: "Then Director Yang, how to design the actions of this character in your mind?"

Yang Zhu smiled: "If I am asked to give an order, I will make you show a look of interest from the beginning of entering the tea stall;"

"Whether it's the crowd sweeping the tea stall or the male protagonist, or even the bowl of ravioli, after all, for a high-ranking person, this low-lying place where mortals gather is a brand new playground;"

"Including the boss in the end, when he forgot that you had given the fee and asked you for money, you should just take a slight pause, show a more obvious [interested] expression on your face, and then don't say a word, hand over the money again, as if you are enjoying a good show;"

"After all, the ultimate pride is too lazy to argue with you;"

"The ultimate disdain is that you are like nothing!"

"In this way, a [witch] who is extremely proud and ruthless to the extreme, can be regarded as having a perfect origin of development!"

Chen Daomin and Liu's mother stared at Yang Zhu with extremely strange faces, as if there was an old monster living in the body of this young man;

Then, Chen Daomin sighed: "Director Yang's insight into the character's traits really makes me admire;"

"This play;"

"I took ......"

………………

When she went out, Mother Liu's eyes were still strange when she looked at Yang Zhu;

Yang Zhu frowned: "Ms. Liu, what are you looking at me like this?"

Mother Liu asked with some suspicion, "Are you really only 27 years old?"

Yang Zhu's face was expressionless: "I'm 72 years old!"

Mother Liu retracted her gaze with some sneer: "Then what should I do next? ”

"And Mr. Chen also said just now, Mr. Wang really can't take it because of physical reasons,"

"Hey...... You're too demanding of actors, otherwise it's easier. ”

Yang Zhu closed his eyes and ignored her, if she hadn't sworn that it was no problem, why would she have written the script so early?

As a result, among the three people she invited by name, she only managed one, and it took her a whole afternoon and countless lip colors to get Chen Daomin's seniors;

But at this point, he could only keep thinking in his mind about who could fill this vacancy, and countless familiar or unfamiliar faces appeared, but he denied them one by one.

After more than ten minutes, he opened his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly: "There is no suitable candidate for the time being." ”

"In this way, you send audition invitations to major brokerage companies, but any actor over the age of 30 can come and audition for this role,"

"To make it clear, this role is super brilliant when it is played well, and with such a big production, I don't believe they are not tempted!"

"It's a big deal that I spent a whole week selecting people, but this way, the filming schedule is going to be delayed again......"

Mother Liu was on the side, listening to Yang Zhu's vaguely resentful tone, she didn't dare to argue, and nodded in agreement;

Then he flipped out his phone and made a phone call in a hurry......

PS: The perception of this scene comes from Wang Zhiwen's "The Way of Heaven", I love his performance in it, he really tells you in it, what a truly proud person should look like;

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
