Chapter 22: Fireworks are easy to cold

Tuesday, at half past four in the afternoon, Shen You was busy editing "Two Flowers: Tsing Yi" at home, when he suddenly received a call from Yao Yumin.

Yao Yumin told Shen You that someone wanted to buy the film copyright of "Farewell My Concubine" and asked him to go to the Literature and Art Publishing House for an interview.

Regarding the film rights of "Farewell My Concubine", Shen You does not want to sell it now.

It's just that since Yao Yumin has opened his mouth, it is always difficult for him to refuse, and people still have to go and see him.

Subsequently, he called his agent He Ling, and the two went to the Literature and Art Publishing House together.

When he arrived at Yao Yumin's office, Shen You saw two people who wanted to buy the copyright.

A man in his thirties, tall and thin, not outstanding in appearance, but not ugly, and has the arrogance of a gentleman.

The other was much more sedate, in his forties, very tall, with a cold face, and quite majestic.

Yao Yumin introduced Shen You: "This is Xie Jin, the producer of Brilliant Pictures, and this is Chen Jiang, the new director of Brilliant Pictures. ”

"Hello Mr. Xie, Director Chen. ”

"Hello Boss Shen. ”

Shen You took He Ling forward to shake hands with Chen Jiang and Xie Jin one by one, and after saying hello, Yao Yumin beckoned the four of them to sit down.

I only heard Yao Yumin laugh and said: "Last night, Director Chen Jiang was very moved after watching Boss Shen's "Farewell My Concubine" and wanted to adapt it into a movie. ”

"yes, I think it should ......"

Following Yao Yumin's words, Chen Jiang enthusiastically explained to Shen You his idea of adapting the movie.

Among them, Boss Shen was asked to be the screenwriter of the film to ensure that the original work was restored to the greatest extent, and Shen Yuelou would play the role of Cheng Dieyi.

After listening to Chen Jiang's idea, Shen You was noncommittal.

He Ling looked at Chen Jiang and asked, "I don't know how much you have to spend to buy the film copyright of "Farewell My Concubine?"

Xie Jin glanced at Chen Jiang and said to Shen You: "Eight million, this price is not low in the industry." ”

He Ling nodded, and asked again: "After buying the copyright of "Farewell My Concubine", how much money do you plan to invest in making it into a movie?"

Chen Jiang said seriously: "It is conservatively estimated that if you want to shoot "Farewell My Concubine" in my heart, you must invest at least one billion yuan. ”

Hearing this, Xie Jin quietly pulled the corner of Chen Jiang's clothes on the side, and said in a low voice: "At least a billion? ”

"When are you going to start shooting?"

Xie Jin hurriedly said: "Director Chen is currently filming "Chang'an Night" in Shaanzhou Film and Television City, and the "Farewell My Concubine" movie project will be at least two years later. ”

After speaking, he also gave Chen Jiang a look.

Chen Jiang didn't see it, and said to Shen You with a determined face: "In less than two years, I can finish the filming of "Chang'an Night" in eight months, plus the production and release time, at most a year and a half." ”

Through some questions and answers, He Ling felt Chen Jiang's sincerity, she nodded, and looked at Shen You.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xie, Director Chen, I don't have the idea of selling the movie copyright of "Farewell My Concubine" for the time being. ”

Shen You can naturally feel Chen Jiang's sincerity, but he doesn't know Chen Jiang's directing level, and he has concerns about handing over the movie "Farewell My Concubine", which is destined to become a classic, to Chen Jiang to shoot.

Chen Jiang still didn't give up and said: "Boss Shen, don't be busy refusing, if you are not satisfied with the conditions we just offered, we can discuss again." ”

Shen You shook his head and didn't speak again.

Seeing that there was no room for anything to go back, Yao Yumin gave Chen Jiang and Xie Jin an apologetic look.

When Shen You left with He Ling, Xie Jin asked Yao Yumin for advice: "Uncle Yao, is there someone who is bidding higher than us?

Yao Yumin shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, but I know about Boss Shen's participation in "The Last Emperor", maybe Peak Entertainment has a private connection with him." ”

"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Yao, for your help. ”

Thanking Yao Yumin, Chen Jiang pondered for a moment and said to Xie Jin: "I think what Boss Shen said just now is the truth, he really has no idea of selling the copyright of "Farewell My Concubine" now, you help me keep an eye on it, once Boss Shen intends to sell the copyright, you will notify me immediately." ”

Xie Jin replied helplessly: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on this for you." ”

……

The sale of the copyright of "Farewell My Concubine" did not stay in Shen You's heart for too long, because he was about to participate in the recording of the fifth episode of "Chinese Good Singer".

Since Shen Yuelou won the first place in the last issue, this time, he has the right to choose the order of appearance, not surprisingly, Boss Shen chose the big axis.

"Welcome to the competition site of the fifth episode of the "Good Chinese Singer" program, I am the host Jiang Zhen. ”

Jiang Zhen walked on the stage and said to the audience with a hand card: "Last week, singer Zheng Yi regretfully left this stage, and Shen Yuelou successfully advanced and became the first singer to successfully kick the hall this season.

What will be Boss Shen's results in this game?

Whether it can continue to win the first place, let's wait and see.

Next, let's invite Song Mingyu, the first competing singer in this show, to bring you "Smoke and Rain". ”

Jiang Zhen said this, the stage lights hit the side curtain, and Song Mingyu slowly walked to the piano on the stage.

The cheerful piano sounded, and Song Mingyu sang softly: "It's not May, and I can't wait for a rain ......."

In the backstage room, Shen You changed into a new outfit with the help of a stylist.

Wrapped in a moon-white monk's robe, wearing a pair of gray and white monk boots on his feet, and a blue-gray monk's hat on his head, he looked very unearthly.

Seeing Shen You's makeup, He Ling couldn't help but joke on the side: "Tsk, the boss's monk's robe is really good-looking, but this makeup is too feminine, not like a handsome monk, but like an amorous nun." ”

I was meant to play a nun.

Shen You could only smile helplessly.

After waiting backstage for an hour, after the other six competing singers finished performing, Shen You also came to the side curtain.

"The next singer to appear is Shen Yuelou, who successfully kicked the hall in the last issue.

I invited Boss Shen to sing his new work "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" for everyone. ”

After Jiang Zhen finished speaking the host line, he directly stepped aside, and the audience below immediately cheered in unison.

"Shen Yuelou!"

"Shen Yuelou!"

"Shen Yuelou!"

.……

This time, Shen You walked very slowly, his every move was very leisurely, the stage lights were focused, and the audience began to marvel at Shen You's outfit today.

"Wow, monk's clothes can look so good!"

"It's good-looking, but why does Boss Shen wear it like this?"

"Boss Shen's outfit should be related to the singing repertoire. ”

……

When Shen You walked to the middle of the stage, the cheers and discussions of the audience still had no intention of stopping.

Seeing that there was still noise in the audience, Shen You had no choice but to pull away his monk's robe, raise his palms horizontally, and slowly press downward.

When the audience really quieted down, Shen You started this performance.

He nodded to the Chinese orchestra first, and then gave a gesture to the executive director who was in charge of the stage backstage.

The prelude sounds, and the background screen emerges.

This prelude is a bit special, it is the sound of Buddhist beads turning and wooden fish tapping, and in the background, a mottled ancient temple with blue bricks and gray tiles looms.

The background and the stage are perfectly combined, and the picture behind is the red lacquer gate of the ancient temple in the mountains, and in front of the red lacquer gate is Shen You standing on the stage.

A nun dressed in a moon-white monk's robe and wearing a blue-gray monk's hat.

The audience will unconsciously think that Shen You is playing a female nun, not only because of his gorgeous makeup and beautiful appearance, but also because of Shen You's every move on the stage, every smile and smile reveals a woman's sad and resentful expression.

"The sound of prosperity escaped into the empty door,

It has tormented the world!"

In the Zen sound of Buddha beads plucking and tapping wooden fish, Shen You slowly opened his mouth.

His voice was slightly cold, with a hint of dust, as if he were a spectator of the narrator, as if she were the person in the story.

"Dreams are cold,

A lifetime of love debts and a few books,

If you default to life and death, etc.,

Waiting for the rings of the year.

Whose soul was broken by the broken layers of the Futu Tower,

The pain went straight to the mountain gate where a broken lamp collapsed.

Let me wait a little longer, and history will turn around.

Waiting for the wine to be mellow, waiting for you to play a guzheng. ”

The background picture changes with the lyrics sung by Shen You, such as the floating tower, the remnant lamp, the collapsed mountain gate, the wine, and the guzheng, and Shen You also began to use his body to interpret this poignant story with the background picture.

In the soft dance, he became the woman who escaped into the empty door and waited for the return from the expedition.

"It's raining, and the grass and trees in the old hometown are deep.

I've heard that you're always alone.

The mottled city gate is entrenched in the roots of old trees.

The reverberation on the slate is to wait!"

In this section, the texture of Shen You's voice changed from dust to cold and hard, with the iron blood of a battlefield general.

There is also a trace of tenderness in the iron blood.

In Shen You's singing, a young general wearing gold armor suddenly appeared in the background picture, and the actor of the general was also Shen Yuelou.

"It's raining, and the grass and trees in the old hometown are deep.

I have heard that you are still guarding the lonely city.

The sound of the shepherd's flute on the outskirts of the city fell on that wild village.

Fate is us!"

A young general in gold armor is chanting in the picture, and a young nun in monk's robe is singing on the stage, both of them are Shen You, but the picture is surprisingly harmonious.

"It's so beautiful, both of them are Brother Xiaolou. ”

"It's okay, I can't form a CP with myself, and I feel a little sweet inexplicably. ”

"How nice it would be to keep watching it like this!"

The audience was intoxicated by the singing and the picture sketched by Shen You.

It's just that the audience didn't know that these were just pictures imagined by the nuns, and they looked at each other from afar, but they never saw each other.

It's a dream that will wake up, and as soon as Shen You starts singing again, the golden armor general in the background picture gradually collapses, leaving only his voice far away:

"Listening to the laughter of youth envy many people,

The annals of history are too ruthless if they are gentle and refusing to write.

Fireworks are easy to cold, and personnel are easy to separate.

And you're asking if I'm serious?

After a thousand years, who is still waiting,

And how can Qingshi not really Wei Shu Luoyang City.

If you are following, you have passed through the door in your previous life.

Follow the red dust and follow me all my life. ”

The lyrics and pictures have made this story clear, and the audience suddenly felt a little sour.

A general who has not returned from the expedition and looks at his hometown from afar, and a woman who can't come and escapes into the empty door.

The emotions of the audience have been completely mobilized by this story, and Shen You is also slowly brewing his last relationship.

In the last stanza, Shen You suddenly read the lyrics as Jingbai:

"It's raining, it's raining, and the grass and trees in the old hometown are deep.

I heard, I heard, thou art still guarding the lonely city.

The sound of the shepherd's flute on the outskirts of the city fell on that wild village.

Fate is rooted in us. ”

This Jingbai was read tactfully, and the rhyme was long, and the audience was intoxicated when they heard it.

"Why is it so good?"

"This is the way to sing opera, right?"

"The half-chanting and half-singing rhyme is really delicious!"

And then Shen You sang a scene in his previous life "One Night in Yanjing":

"I don't want to ask you any more, where the hell are you?

Don't want to think about it, can you come back?

Think of your heart, think of your face.

If you want to hold it in your chest, you can't let it go!"

With the foreshadowing of the previous story, after Shen You finished speaking, as soon as the drama opened, the audience's eyes immediately moistened.

"It's so impressive!"

"The last Peking Opera is simply amazing!"

"Is this the charm of Peking Opera?"

The audience applauded and whimpered, and Shen You sang the last two lyrics.

Fate takes root in us,

Garan Temple listens to the sound of rain and looks forward to eternity.
