Chapter Eighty-Eight: Are You Tempted?
Li Qian was finally idle again.
Liao Liao and He Runqing's albums are finished, the three songs of "Troubled Times" have also been recorded, and the soundtrack is only a little finishing touch, which can be left to the arrangers signed by the studio to deal with, as for the release, Li Qian is only responsible for making a phone call to Yu Bojun, and all other things are also lost to Qi Jie.
Even, at the beginning of April, even Wang Jinglu rushed to the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to report, and he was even more idle.
As a result, between school, home, and the studio, he spent more and more time at school, and less and less time to go to the studio. As for Zhou Yan's home in Sheepfold Hutong, it is the same as before, about once or twice a week, sometimes to have a meal, sometimes to stay for one night.
It's just that with the album selling well after Zhou Yan's comeback, she began to appear in front of the public and the media again, although she almost never participates in any promotional activities, and commercial performances are absolutely not accepted, but her comeback this time, under the hype of Sony, is extraordinary, so, whether she wants to or not, she is still inevitably surrounded by the media. Although she usually stays at home except for the company, and even goes out shopping a limited number of times, she still often appears in the entertainment pages of various newspapers, and even at her doorstep, there are often several reporters stationed.
Therefore, in fact, if Li Qian wants to go to her house in the sheepfold alley once, it often makes it like a war - after a month's work, Wu's mother has been able to skillfully distinguish which of the stranded people in the alley is the reporter, and if she finds that there is no reporter, she will run back and tell Zhou Yan. Then Zhou Yan called Li Qian. Then Li Qian can come over.
In a word. Already all sorts of troubles.
Many times, Li Qian would rather call Zhou Yan and ask her to come out by herself, and the two of them would find a secluded place to have a meal together, and then drive her back.
But even so, Li Qian still clearly felt that the kind of life he didn't want the most was slowly approaching him. is trying to shroud itself.
Although he has always been low-key in the face of the public and the media, he has insisted on not singing even a song until now, and he has not begun to intervene in the film and television industry, but with the exposure of the existence of Li Qian's studio and the successful comeback of Zhou Yan, he is already on the verge of being fully exposed - wait until the next two albums of Liao Liao and He Runqing are released and listed one after another, especially if their new albums become popular as they expected, it can be imagined. Your situation will be even more dangerous.
Previously, although his own works have been used many times to complete the feat of slaughtering the list with the voices of Liao Liao and Wuxing Wusu. But after all, first, because the innate characteristics of the entertainment industry are to focus on artists and stars, the media and the public will subconsciously choose to ignore behind-the-scenes figures like themselves, especially in the current country, and secondly, because whether it is Wuxing Wusu or Liao Liao, they were too popular before, so popular that even if they were just photographed shopping, they were enough to be on the headlines of the entertainment section, so the more so, the more he became a behind-the-scenes achiever in the media and the public, so that he was basically ignored by the media and the publicγ
However, Li Qian, who is familiar with the history of the development of the entertainment industry, knows very well in his heart that this situation cannot last too long.
Whether it is Wuxing Wusu or Liao Liao, when their popularity becomes inevitable in the minds of the media and the public, it will gradually lose its freshness, and at that time, it is inevitable that some people will begin to look away from a popular superstar like Liao Liao and begin to pay attention to some people and things around her.
In fact, in another time and space, Lin Xi and Fang Wenshan gradually became known in this way.
It can be said that once that time comes, there will be absolutely nothing to hide.
Because whether it is Wuxing Wusu or Liao Liao, their rise and popularity, every step they take, almost certainly will mention their names.
Therefore, for the current Li Qian, he can only hope that the media and the public will be more interested in Liao Liao, not lose the freshness too quickly, at least leave himself a little more free time, and secondly...... Your relationship with Zhou Yan, don't expose it!
It is conceivable that perhaps with the success of Liao Liao and He Runqing's new albums, his name began to appear more and more in front of the media and the public, and gradually became a public figure to some extent, but that kind of fame, at best, there will be an occasional interview, and there will be some big moves that will attract attention, etc., but once the scandal between himself and Zhou Yan is suddenly exposed...... Well, the feeling of being tracked and watched anytime and anywhere, and possibly making headlines on the entertainment page the next day at any time, is not too good.
The most important thing is that Li Qian is not surnamed Wang.
Not only is there no love for that, but a heartfelt resistance.
Though...... He knew he would have to take this path sooner or later, but at least for the moment, it was a day to be able to hide. At least it must not become popular because of scandals.
However, I don't know if it's a blessing in disguise, but when he was hiding more in school, he felt that he began to feel more and more about photography, and he began to have more and more experience in capturing the beauty of light and shadow moments.
Of course, as time becomes more and more relaxed, he has begun to appear frequently in the film pulling room of the film academy, under the basket on the playground, and on the food stall outside the back door of the school.
Then, that afternoon, when more than a dozen of them were watching an Italian Mao film in the film room, and praised the Italian film master for capturing and discovering the beauty of the female body, they suddenly received a call from the counselor Han Shunzhang, claiming that they were looking for him urgently.
Li Qian didn't care about appreciating the master's works, so he hurriedly went out of the house and downstairs, and then, at the door of the teaching office, he saw Han Shunzhang, he was such an honest man, but he was frowning, but he scared Li Qian, "Brother, you just came back from a blind date?"
Han Shunzhang patted him on the shoulder, "Don't talk nonsense, tell you." You're going to have to treat yourself. Otherwise, don't blame my brother for not taking care of you!" He pointed downstairs with a smile, and Li Qian followed his finger and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
It was not far away, but the man was sideways, so although Li Qian was a little familiar, he didn't dare to confirm it.
At this time, Han Shunzhang patted him on the shoulder again and said with a smile, "Go down." Looking for you!"
So Li Qian couldn't care about the meal, went downstairs, and walked over. As if he heard footsteps and approached, the man who had been standing under the tree and didn't know what he was looking at suddenly turned around.
Well, it's really him!
I went to the film academy before, and I almost pulled myself into the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to play Zhao Yun or Ma Chao's Feng Yumin!
Li Qian was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly greeted, "Hello Teacher Feng!"
Feng Yumin saw Li Qian and smiled slightly. "I just came from the airport, and I'm spinning around. I'm dying of hunger, I know there's a lot of delicious food at the back door of the film academy, you must know the way well, right? Can you show me the way? I'll invite you to dinner!"
Li Qian was stunned again, raised his wrist to look at his watch, but he could only say, "I'll invite you!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Next to the old six wontons is next to the mutton dumplings, the two stalls are not big, if you go in to sit, there are also a few tables, and they are clean. At half past two in the afternoon, there wasn't much to eat at any stall, so Li Qian took Feng Yumin over familiarly, asked for half a catty of mutton dumplings at the stall here, and asked for a wonton over there, and then found a table and sat down face to face with Feng Yumin.
After sitting down, Feng Yumin began to peel garlic.
When the dumplings and wontons came up, he ate them in a big gulp, and he was really hungry when he saw the posture.
Soon, a bowl of wontons was swept clean by him, but there were a few dumplings left, plus seven or eight cloves of garlic, after eating, Feng Yumin took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and then began to drink dumpling soup comfortably.
It wasn't until this time that Li Qian finally couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Feng, you won't look for me just for this meal, right?"
Feng Yumin smiled and said, "What, if it's just for this meal, you won't invite me?"
Li Qian smiled and followed without hesitation, "If it's just for this meal, I'll treat you another day to dinner." "The implication is that if you have anything else, I won't invite you.
Feng Yumin took a few more sips of soup, then put down the bowl and said with emotion: "It's delicious! I haven't eaten so much for a long time!"
After a pause, he looked back and forth on this street for a long time, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the Lao Jiang wonton not far away, and said: "When I was in school, this Lao Jiang wonton was there, and at that time, everyone was poor, and they thought that his wontons were sold very expensive! At that time, there were very few places to eat on this street, because the students at that time were indeed poor, and like now, if you look at this street, it has almost become a snack street. β
Li Qian followed his fingers and looked over, frowned, and said, "Although I don't want to disturb your interest, however, the reputation of that Laojiang wonton is not very good, and business has not been good recently, so it is estimated that it is about to go out of business." β
Feng Yumin laughed when he heard this, retracted his gaze, looked at Li Qian, and said slowly: "Before coming back from this trip, our crew had two more auditions, and the original two actors really didn't meet the requirements, so they had to be replaced." However, the results of the audition meeting were not too satisfactory. β
Li Qian shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of listening.
In fact, as soon as Feng Yumin appeared, Li Qian knew that he was worried about it again.
At this time, Feng Yumin was not in a hurry or impatient, and continued to say slowly: "The most important thing is Sun Ce, a group of young actors in China, there are many outstanding actors in appearance and figure, and there are many with good acting skills, but in them, I just can't find the feeling I want, and a few young martial artists from the Shuntianfu Peking Opera Company, we also auditioned, and it doesn't work." Everything else can be adjusted later, they can't act, and our executive director can even teach the play by hand, but the problem is that this is the Three Kingdoms, this play, the acting skills are put aside, and the image must be the right number first. β
"Let's just talk about Sun Ce, don't look at this role in this play, it is estimated that there will not be a few episodes of the scene before and after, but there is just such a role, Jiangdong Xiaobawang, everyone who has watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. All against the name. Those things that have been done to him. is familiar with it, and has long had his own imagination of the image of such a character...... Therefore, these roles have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if the image is not right, then it must be that the audience feels that something is wrong!"
As he spoke, he pulled a cigarette and a lighter out of his pocket and pulled one out of his own. When he looked up and saw Li Qian, he handed over the cigarette and said in his mouth: "Do you want one?" Li Qian hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Quit it." β
This "quit", but Feng Yumin was a little stunned when he heard it.
Suddenly I felt a little old-fashioned.
However, he smiled, took back the cigarette case, lit two puffs himself, and continued: "This character image problem, to a greater extent, is actually innate. Makeup technology now. It has become more and more developed, but it has turned people ugly and old. It's easy, it's not completely impossible to make people beautiful, and if you wear makeup, you can definitely be more beautiful, but there are some things that can't be made up anyway, for example, young, vibrant, and for example, heroic, domineering. β
Li Qian nodded, and then suddenly interjected, "Teacher Feng, I remember that you are still a visiting professor of our college, when do you start classes? Can you say hello when you start classes?" I will definitely go over to listen!"
Feng Yumin smiled when he heard this.
Of course, he knew what Li Qian meant, but at this time, he said disapprerovantly: "That's right, you understand what I mean, and I also know that you are from the photography department, and it seems that you are indeed not very interested in acting." Otherwise, you wouldn't even be willing to refuse roles like Zhao Yun and Ma Chao. But, really, if you call me a teacher, I can't lie to you, acting, it's really a very interesting thing, try it, okay?"
After a pause, he continued: "Sun Ce, born in 175 A.D. and died in 200 A.D., was only twenty-six years old when he died, but he had already established the foundation of Eastern Wu. He was a brave man, heroic, and extremely talented as a commander, and he had a very good political outlook, but he was irascible and extremely confident...... Believe me, after playing this role, you will start to be interested in drama and acting. Oh...... By the way, you're from the photography department, so I'll give you special approval, and when your performance is over, and when this TV series is officially broadcast, I can allow you to copy back all the scenes related to you, including those that have been edited out, how about it?"
Li Qian's eyes lit up, but after thinking about it, he still frowned.
By observing one's own performance, I can reflect on photography, and then understand the performance on a deeper level through the perspective of photography...... It's certainly a great way to summarize and improve after the fact, and it's a great benefit for both photography and performance. What's more, in the vast majority of crews, the footage is easily not copied by anyone, even after it is broadcast, so the opportunity for this song that Feng Yumin personally promised is really rare.
However, if he plays Sun Ce, he will be more or less famous and start to become famous.
Well, if this is said, it may make people feel a little underwhelmed, because it really can't help but make people hate it - how many people don't have a chance to be famous!
But for Li Qian, it is too easy for him to become famous, whether it is an album or a director, he clearly knows that with the advantages of a whole time and space, and the experience of the past twenty years, it is not difficult for him to become famous. Because of this, he is very greedy for this kind of ordinary life before he became famous.
Because he knows that once a person is famous, it is almost impossible to return to the present day.
But now, as the boss of the domestic TV director circle, Feng Yumin and Feng Dao are already second looks, if they don't give face, they will inevitably fall into the other party's heart.
Although even when he started to develop in the film and television industry, Li Qian was not ready to make many TV series, whether it was directing or acting, but a character like Feng Yumin, not to mention artistic respect, was purely out of interpersonal considerations, which would offend one less than one.
Sun Ce...... Sun Ce...... Sun Ce......
Li Qian frowned, and he didn't speak for a long time.
But at this time, Feng Yumin was not in a hurry at all, nor did he open his mouth to urge, just sat opposite Li Qian and smoked slowly, waiting for his decision.
Li Qian thought about it, thought about it, and finally was ruthless, raised his head, showed an apologetic smile at Feng Yumin, thought about it, and said: "Director Feng, I know that this is really an excellent opportunity, not to mention whether I will fall in love with acting......"
He had just started, and Feng Yumin had already raised his hand to interrupt his words.
Then, with a smile, he turned his head and glanced at the back door of the film school, and asked, "Your classmates and teachers probably don't know your true identity, right?"
At first glance, I thought it was a spy movie!
However, Li Qian still understood what the other party meant.
Sure enough, Feng Yumin quickly smiled and said: "I didn't pay attention to it originally, but the last time I talked to a colleague in the station on the phone, I suddenly heard about a Li Qian studio, hehe, it just so happened that the actor who was originally scheduled to play Sun Ce this time made me dissatisfied, I thought of you again, when I was in Suzhou Mansion, I had already called someone to help me check, it doesn't matter if I don't check, this check, it really scared me! Dare to love photography is just your hobby!"
After a pause, he smiled and said: "For the soundtrack of the drama Three Kingdoms, we have invited several professors from the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, but the theme song and interlude have not yet been decided, and many people in your music circle have been invited to sing, but in the end, after screening, it is difficult to say whose works will be selected." Now, I'm officially inviting you to sing, how about writing me a few fine songs? At that time, the songs written by Sun Ce will be tsk...... Are you tempted?"
Li Qian smiled wryly and spread his hands, with a look of "you are amazing".
Okay, "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water"?"The Sky of History?"This Worship"?
These classics, in addition to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which other drama is suitable?
If you don't take this opportunity to write it, you will probably never have the opportunity to hear these classics again in this time and space.
Think about it again, okay, his acting skills are so scummy, and he is just a not very brilliant Sun Ce, it is estimated that even if he acts, he will not be popular?
Well, it shouldn't be popular!

Although it is not able to break out for the time being, but the knife is still more than 5,000 words at every turn, to be honest, it is not less, so what, monthly passes, recommended tickets and the like, can you give a few more?
