Section 285: Eighteen Lines
The place where the reconciliation met was a café on General Road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although this café is not big, it is very elegantly arranged: the exterior wall is decorated with fake wood, dotted with flowers and branches, and a pole is obliquely supported on one side of the door, with four large characters of "Li Ji Teahouse" written on it, and a row of LED lights behind it, the light shines out through the flag, making this unique signboard clear.
Du An took the lead and walked into the tea house, and Song Zhen followed him, half a step behind.
He originally wanted to leave Song Zhen in the car, but after thinking about it a little, it didn't seem to be good: what kind of thing is it to lock a girl in the car and wait for him to come out? Although he said that it would be over soon, it was not sure how long it would take.
So he brought Song Zhen with him.
After talking to the waiter about the box, the waiter motioned for them to follow him - because Duane was wearing sunglasses and a mask, he didn't recognize him, but thought that this person might be mentally retarded when he wore sunglasses at night.
Not only is the exterior of this Li Kee teahouse classically elegantly decorated, but the interior is also very charming: the seats in the hall are all wooden, the tables are separated by potted plants, and there are window latticework and door frames everywhere, wrapped with plastic branches, and there is no modern object visible at a glance.
Walk through the hall, follow the waiter, and finally enter the room where Xie Jin is.
After leading the two in, the waiter left, and Duane took off his sunglasses except for his mask and looked at the people in the room.
In the middle of the room is a coffee table, with a format tea set on it, surrounded by a circle of wooden sofas, and now there are four old people sitting on it, among which Xie Jin is sitting in the innermost part facing the door, and the other three are a man and two women, who are the future employees that Xie Jin found for him.
"Here we are. ”
Xie Jin said hello, his eyes glanced at Song Zhen, and he didn't say anything, but directly pointed to the vacant seat opposite him, "Let's sit down first." ”
When Du An and Song Zhen sat down, he began to introduce them, "This is Sun Daolin, who is with us and is an experienced director," his hand reached out to the elderly man sitting on his left side, and then stretched out to his right, "This is Qin Yi, this is Tian Hua, they are all actors, they have acted in some movies, they are all experienced old actors, and they have all taken students, and they have rich teaching experience." ”
In the end, he stretched out his hand to Duan, the junior, and introduced to the three people: "This is Xiao Du, Duan, this is the junior I told you." ”
Duane stood up politely and bowed to each of them, "Hello three teachers." ”
He didn't know what to call it for a while, so he simply called the teacher, so that he wouldn't look respectful again.
The three of them looked at Du An, and Qin Yi opened his mouth first.
"You don't need to introduce you, if you want to talk about acquaintance, we met Xiao Du Ke earlier than you. At last year's Huabiao Awards, we had a one-sided relationship, and we also saw with our own eyes how Xiao Du won the Huabiao Award for the youngest best director, what a hero. ”
Qin Yi said this with a smile, and the other two didn't speak after echoing "yes", just looked at Du An.
Du An's gaze at the three of them was a little uncomfortable - how could he feel that the eyes of these three people were like looking at the hairy feet son-in-law who came to the door? It was too similar to the feeling he had when he first met Su Jin's parents!
The gaze of these three people made Du An feel very embarrassed, and he quickly pulled out Song Zhen on the side as a shield.
"Xie Lao, three teachers, this is my sister, Song Zhen. I happened to go to her house for dinner today, and after eating, I was going to send her back to school, but your phone came, and I thought it was okay, so I brought her over to see the world, don't you mind?"
Xie Jin shook the top, glanced at Song Zhen, and said with a smile: "It's okay, we're not talking about something unseemly, what's there to mind?" But your sister has a good temperament, and you have your brother, it will definitely be smooth sailing in the entertainment industry in the future, maybe I can still see her appear on the stage of the Huabiao Awards in my lifetime." ”
Du An understood what Xie Jin meant, quickly shook his head, and said, "She wants to be a doctor, and she has no plans to develop in the entertainment industry." ”
Xie Jin was stunned for a moment: Seeing that Duane specially brought a little girl over, he thought that the meaning was very clear, that is, to let this little girl brush their faces so that they would have the opportunity to help them more, but I didn't expect it to be at all? This is strange, what is it called to simply come to see the world? Do you use this place as a place for social practice? And what kind of world does a doctor see with them in the entertainment industry?......
Xie Jin shook his head, didn't think about this, and went straight to the topic.
"Xiao Du, I also found this person for you, take a look, this is quite satisfying, right?"
Duane shook his head, "Not satisfied." ”
Xie Jin nodded, "Since you are satisfied, can you ...... what you want to do" Xie Jin's words suddenly froze when he said this, and he looked at Du An in surprise as if he had just reacted.
"Not satisfied?"
Not only Xie Jin was surprised, but Sun Daolin, Qin Yitian, and Hua were also surprised: on the one hand, because of their age, and on the other hand, because of their status, even if someone really disliked these three old guys over the years, they were all talking behind their backs, and no one had ever said that they were dissatisfied in front of them.
The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.
Du ane suddenly laughed and said: "Xie Lao, "The Crow and the Sparrow", "Distant Love", and "The White-Haired Girl" are all classic works that have caused thousands of empty alleys, and the technical level of the three predecessors can also be seen, which I am naturally very satisfied with, and even far exceed my expectations. ”
As soon as the three works were thrown out, and then flattered, the faces of the three people eased significantly: these works are all from the middle of the last century, and they are the representative works of the three of them.
Many of today's young filmmakers have never even heard of the names of these films, and even if they have heard of these three works, if they have not studied them, they will not know the relationship between the three works and the three of them, but Duane can come at will, which makes them feel very good about this young man.
Duane was also quietly looking at the few people as he spoke, and when he saw the faces of the three of them, he knew that the matter was over - thanks to Xie Jin, if it weren't for the mention of these works in his book "Engraving Time", he really couldn't tell.
Then he continued.
"Elder Xie, I also told you before that the salary of this job will not be too high," before he finished speaking, he saw Xie Jin's representative of the three of them say that "the salary is easy to say", looking at that look, it seems that the salary is not ready to work voluntarily, it is really terrible. Since the salary can't be prevaricated, let's start from other aspects, so Duane didn't care about them, and went on: "To tell the truth, the three old-timers are also the age of teasing their grandchildren, if it's ordinary teaching work, come on, but my work intensity is very large, it's commonplace to rush to work all night, and many times the axis rotation is normal, I really don't dare to let the three come." ”
Physical reasons, this reason is very good, looking at the expressions of the four people opposite, obviously they all understand, but only Duane knows that these are excuses - first with salary to prevaricate, and then with physical health to prevaricate, the real reason is that these people really dislike him.
Don't look at the three of them all have the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Huabiao Awards, and they are all once the mainstays of the Chinese film industry, but that is all in the past.
Just as Xie Jin's works have the limitations of the times, these people also have them - their skills, their concepts, and their understanding of film and television works all have the limitations of the times, which is not what he Duane needs.
In Duane's view, this limitation is very fatal.
Xie Jin spoke at this time, "Then what do you want? Make it clear, don't be as hesitant as when you were in Gansu." ”
Du An smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Xie, I have made it very clear when I was in Gansu, but you didn't take it seriously." Then he repeated the conditions in detail, "I want the kind of technicians who have a certain amount of professional skills but the level is not too high, they are not well-known in the circle, they are hopeless to be famous, the edges and corners are smoothed out, and they just want to find a place to retire, and the recruitment focus should be average, don't focus on directors and actors, lighting, makeup, props, screenwriters, and all kinds of personnel." ”
At the end, he made a concluding remarks, "In short, if you divide the people in the entertainment industry into first-line, second-line, third-line, etc. from high to low, then what I am looking for is all kinds of top technical personnel in the eighteenth line." (To be continued.) )
