Chapter Seventy-Four: Success is also a play, and destruction is also a play
An internal cocktail party, Li Qian felt that it was very good. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Taking advantage of this opportunity for everyone to get together, I took out some problems that have gradually emerged from the company's development, and specially knocked them out, and also communicated with the company's contracted artists one by one, and in the end, because Cao Zhan finally rushed back, and completely finalized the establishment of the animation department.
Although there is still a big tail left and confiscated, that is, the problem of the temporary head of the animation department, I can't think of a suitable person for a while, and I can't finalize it, but the overall harvest is still great.
It's just that after the cocktail party, things like recording albums, cutting "Huang Feihong" and the like, he can only put it aside temporarily, and he can't even spend New Year's Day in Shuntianfu, because the cameo promised to Ming Xiaojing has reached the time when it must be fulfilled.
One car, three people set off, I didn't think it before, but now I feel a little weird - Li Qian suddenly found that the three secretaries and assistants assigned to him by the company, music assistant Fang Shengnan, film and television assistant Sun Yuting, and administrative secretary Qin Nuo, are actually all women! Even if you take two at a trip, you still feel weird!
Well, I don't know what the idea is, anyway, including Qi Jie, all departments seem to subconsciously feel that the secretary they are assigned to must be a woman.
And it's best to be young, beautiful and professional.
At present, of course, the comprehensive ability of the three of them is not as good as Lu Min, who has been training with Qi Jie for several years, but relatively speaking, Qin Nuo, a girl who has only been in the company for more than a year, obviously has the characteristics of a secretary, compared with her, Sun Yuting and Fang Shengnan are really spies put by the two departments of film and television and music, and they are responsible for urging themselves to put more energy into their respective departments.
The plane flew directly to Songjiang Mansion, and Zhu Qiang's assistant was already waiting at the airport with a car.
The set of "Unfinished Love" is on the border between Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion, which is said to be a junction of urban and rural areas - this film, well, Ming Xiaojing, as a rookie director, boldly and civilly chose a three-stage structure, one of which is the story of Songjiang Mansion in the mid-eighties.
The difference from the mid-80s of another time and space is that the mid-80s of this time and space was a period when national strength was flourishing and everything was flourishing.
Of course, it is also the time when everyone suddenly finds that their surroundings are starting to become mixed and unbearable - in the history that has already happened, in that period, there has been a great discussion in the whole society.
Well, one of the throes of national and national progress.
When I came to the crew, it was already half past noon, and Ming Xiaojing was very considerate and left lunch for him.
Of course, when they met, she laughed and gave a hug first, regardless of Kang Xiaolou, the producer and husband, who was watching from the side.
Zhu Qiang also came over and hugged him, and said, "No way, I really can't ask for Sister Ming's leave, so I didn't go back." Li Qian nodded in understanding, "It's okay!
And then, huh...... They're basically acquaintances.
With the relationship between Ming Xiaojing and Qin Wei, this crew has almost completely moved Qin Wei's old foundation in the film industry over the years - art director Wei Fuzhi, director of photography Gu Shidao, and the costumes, props, and set work team behind them, as well as the photography team.
At present, the equipment of this crew is top-notch and world-class in China.
In particular, Gu Shidao's camera, which he modified himself, is one of the most famous cameras in the world's film industry, and famous colleges and universities such as Shuntian Film Academy, Tokyo Metropolitan Film and Television College, and California Institute of the Arts have wanted to borrow this camera many times to study.
The last time I went to the set of "The Door of Life and Death" to explore He Yingyu's class, Li Qian borrowed it, played with it carefully, and found a few shots - but, I don't know if it's not enough, Li Qian really doesn't think this camera is awesome!
Oh, by the way, Zhou Jingyi, who was strongly recommended by Li Qian, is the heroine of this play.
Li Qian took his assistant and secretary to squat on the edge of the set for lunch, and what the crew was filming over there was Zhou Jingyi's shot.
She wore a white T-shirt and a pair of raw-trimmed denim shorts, heavy smoky makeup, and an exploding head—a distinctive feature of the delinquent teenagers of that era.
However, don't look at her petite, but the proportions of her body are really beautiful!
Especially when dressed up like this, it is simply a cynical sexy doll.
Seeing her arguing, pulling, and pushing with the male protagonist played by Zhu Qiang on the side of the dilapidated street, Li Qian ate and ate, and couldn't help but slow down and squint his eyes-
In other words, human society is such a strange organization, it may be completely unknown because of an unexpected event, but in the unknown, in the uncertainty, it is full of inevitability and certainty.
For example, in a period when the ideological impact was extremely great and the whole society was in the midst of metamorphosis and deformation, whether it was in this time and space, or in another time and space, or in the sixties and seventies, the reactions and manifestations of young people who were most obviously touched by social changes and ideological chaos were actually very similar.
Drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, exaggerated styling, deviance.
The so-called Beat Generation.
Now that I think about it, Zhou Yan's albums in the early 90s, that is, the albums that established her personal style and her status in the following years, had exaggerated smoky makeup and indifferent eyes on the covers......
Well, although she is definitely much more elaborate than the street gangsters in the 80s when she is doing this, with the same dress, she can make fashion and sophistication in addition to the unorthodox, and become a singer who leads a generation of fashion, but, I have to say, art still comes from life!
No matter how awesome Zhou Yan is, it's just that she has a keen observation and active exploration of reality!
Well, sigh, in those days, it was really rare enough to have the courage to openly promote these things that were regarded as degenerate and collapsed by the whole society as their own new shapes, and not be afraid in the face of the coercion of the entire society's public opinion.
To a certain extent, he really hopes that Li Shesheng will grow up to be more like his mother, like her, dare to fight, dare to think and dare to do, and at the same time talented, not like himself, do things cautiously, no matter what you do, you have to think twice - although you know that you are holding a pair of supreme cards in your hand, but you still have to carefully calculate the timing of the cards, although you may win bigger in the end, but life is not so happy and chic!
Well, of course, think about it again, who wants to use the limited cards in his hand to combine a set of king bombs, trying to achieve something that so many awesome characters in that other time and space and the current time and space have not done? Who makes that goal an almost impossible task even for their own brains!
So...... If you can't be happy, you can't be happy!
I hope that with my 20 years of hard work, I can create a better environment and a higher starting point for Li Jisheng's generation, so I don't regret it.

"Hey, what do you think!"
Li Qian looked up in amazement and smiled, "I didn't think about anything, I just thought nonsense." Are you done shooting?"
"Hmm. ”
Zhou Jingyi spit out the chewing gum onto a piece of paper towel with a "poof", then threw the paper towel into a ball and aimed at the garbage can on the side of the road - accurately into the hole.
This set of movements is made by her, and she is as skilled as a cloud.
"I heard that this script was finally completed by your company's screenwriter for Director Ming?"
Li Qian nodded and looked at her.
She took out the cigarette case, knocked one out of her mouth, handed the cigarette over, and said: "I think smoking is good now, but the chewing gum is really tired of me - Director Ming said that she discussed it with the screenwriter, and this detail cannot be deleted!"
Li Qian smiled, hesitated, and reached out to smoke a cigarette.
He hadn't touched a cigarette for more than two to three years.
She lit the lighter in her hand and took a deep breath, choking slightly, but there was a familiar burning smell of burning tobacco.
Zhou Jingyi sat down on the pony next to him, knocked on the cigarette case in his hand, and said: "The crew finally bought it, it is said to be more popular in the eighties, and everyone has stopped production. ”
As she spoke, she skillfully spit out an eye circle, and added with a smile, "It is said that in the past eight years, this cigarette was sold for two cents a box." Now, out of print. ”
Li Qian smiled, looked at her curiously, and asked, "You used to smoke too?"
She shook her head, nodded again, and said, "I smoked, when I was sixteen or seventeen years old, but I didn't think it was good to smoke, so I stopped smoking, it's boring." But this time, I read the script and thought that this person was really interesting, and I felt that she was just going to smoke, and smoking was simply a pleasure for her - in the words of Ming Dao, in the flying smoke, there was a moment of reality peeling, and it was the time when she was most relaxed and could let her dreams fly. ”
Speaking of this, she shook the cigarette in her hand and said with a smile: "I tried to smoke a few times, and I thought it was really, it really felt good, and then I smoked it." ”
Li Qian pursed his lips and nodded slowly.
Well, another example, a living example.
Some people fell in love with fitness because of filming muscular male roles, some people made kung fu movies, and after filming the flower shelf in front of the camera, they actually fell in love with kung fu, and they really learned from a teacher when they went back.
However, there are also people who have a smoking addiction or become an alcoholic after filming.
What's more, some people fall into the role and can't get out, and in the end they are either almost schizophrenic, or almost collapsed, living entirely on drugs, and eventually they are inevitably suicidal.
It is also a play, and it is also a play of destruction.
…………
Night, half past eight.
From today's perspective, it's a billiard hall full of rustic style everywhere.
The light from the fluorescent tubes in the ceiling was pale and harsh.
There was no lighting on site.
Li Qian's hair, which had just begun to grow, was cut into board inches by the barber.
Well, to be precise, it was the more popular inch head in that era, or the inch flat head.
It was a slightly worn leather jacket.
Torn jeans, big scalp shoes, nubuck leather, very old.
Li Qian had a cigarette in his mouth.
The smoke curls, and under the fluorescent lights, it looks full of decadence.
He leaned over, his eyes narrowed, and he went out of the pole.
With a snap, the No. 10 ball went into the hole.
He retracted the club, tilted his head slightly, took a puff of cigarette, took the butt of the cigarette from his mouth with his left hand, pinched a short piece in his hand, opened his mouth, and a long puff of smoke came out.
His eyes were dazed and unfocused, and his demeanor was full of life and death.
Behind the monitor, Ming Xiaojing's eyes widened, and his lips were already biting slightly unconsciously.
On the set of "Red Sorghum", Ming Xiaojing, who took his son to stay for more than ten days, has seen Li Qian's acting skills, although most of the scenes she has seen are not scenes that require Li Qian's acting skills to explode, but as one of the best actors in China at the moment, she has already trained a pair of fiery eyes, so she has a considerable degree of expectation for all the performance potential behind Li Qian's seemingly ordinary performance.
The only thing I was worried about before was that so far, if Sun Ce in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is ignored, Li Qian's several cameos and his performance on the set of "Red Sorghum" have never had such a different "character ecology" at the moment.
This is not the swordsman in "Sword Fairy", not the patriotic student in "The Love of Green Onions", and not the rugged man in "Red Sorghum", this is a person who sinks and is confused in the times, but lives as a matter of course.
Melancholy, confused, silent.
The feeling of being abandoned by the times and unable to settle down has almost been carved into the bone marrow.
In particular, pure and pure is deliberate, and the first scene that Ming Xiaojing arranged for Li Qian was this one.
The length of the shot is about 80 seconds.
Li Qian smoking, playing, smoking, and being in a daze, the thirty-second footage all belonged to him alone. Then Zhou Jingyi came out, smoked a cigarette, stood next to him and watched him play, and asked, "Let's have a game?"
Li Qian smiled and shook his head, "I'm leaving." ”
Then he leaned over again, hit the last ball into the bag, put down the pole, went in to find the boss to pay, and left—as he was leaving, he glanced back at Zhou Jingyi, his gaze calm and empty.
Then, two people who had never known each other passed by.
Well, that's roughly how it was written in the script.
In the plan, this is one of the three stories in "Unfinished Love" in modern society, and it is one of the last shots of the whole movie.
Zhou Jingyi's performance strength is something that Ming Xiaojing admires.
The heroine of this movie chose Zhou Jingyi, which was a fluke for Ming Xiaojing.
And now, on the first day Li Qian arrived, she gave him such a scene: first a storyless scene where he was alone for thirty seconds, and then he had to PK with Zhou Jingyi in person.
