"Oh, hello director. Wang Dalun showed a look of sudden realization and stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
Gao Xiaosong politely got up from the sofa, shook hands with him and said, "Hello." Then he turned back to Sister Ding and said, "I still prefer the title of director." β
Sister Ding was obviously very familiar with him, and said with a smile: "Why are you disgusted by the mention of famous musicians?"
"You don't know, the annoying thing about this title is that it cuts off my financial means. In their opinion, it seems that I can only make music, I don't like all music subjects, I hope I can do something other than music, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the graduate preparatory class of the directing department of the film school to study film. Wouldn't it be better if I just wanted to have more guys for dinner? β
Although Gao Xiaosong, who was in front of him and his impression, was shocked, Gao Xiaosong's arrogant remarks made him feel a little harsh, feeling that he was playing with a ticket. I don't know when it started, maybe it was because he had been in contact with Zhang Yuan and Lao Jia for a long time, and he was gradually assimilated, and making movies in his heart was something that made him excited and more and more sacred, not just as he did at the beginning, just as a tool to make a living.
He couldn't help but say, "Then don't you think your music is really good?"
It is undeniable that Gao Xiaosong's achievements in the field of music are obvious to all, and the songs he composed are still widely sung more than ten years later. In his previous life, when he was a waiter in a restaurant, he saw some middle-aged people who had graduated for many years singing "You at the Same Table" with tears in their eyes at class reunions, and that scene was indeed very innocent.
But at the same time, the implication of his words seems to be mocking Gao Xiaosong, you actually like people to call you a director, what about your works?
Gao Xiaosong was obviously stunned, and said: "Yes, I am better than most people in the field of music, that's for sure, but I can also get some in other fields." β
Gao Xiaosong was obviously stimulated by his words, and he told Wang Dalun in a serious manner that he did not deny that he was famous for his music, and that in the field of music, especially at the end of 96, his personal collection of works published at the end of 96 had reached its peak, and he was in the best state of composition, lyrics and production.
"But looking back now, it's actually all commercial, it's all straightforward sensationalism, and I don't think I'll ever be so endlessly sensationalistic in the future, so I want to make the movie I want to make. β
As he spoke, Gao Xiaosong took out a thick script from his bag and handed it to him: "I want to invite you to participate in my film, I really want to be a director worthy of the name." β
In fact, when he first said it, Wang Dalun regretted it a little, and felt that there was no need to have a verbal dispute with him, and even Sister Ding looked at him strangely. He originally expected that Gao Xiaosong might turn against him and refute him, but he didn't expect Gao Xiaosong to explain to him very seriously, which surprised him and was a little embarrassed.
nodded, apologized, and took the script. When he saw the four big characters "Bronze Age" written on the cover of the script, he was a little surprised: "Is this a movie about your band?"
Because he knew that when Gao Xiaosong debuted that year, he and Lao Lang organized a band called Bronze.
"No, it's a romance movie. The story is fictional, and the reason why it was chosen is to commemorate our youth. But now I don't think it's a good name for a movie, but I haven't figured out what to change it to yet. Gao Xiaosong said.
Nearly 100 pages of the script naturally can't be read in person, Gao Xiaosong briefly introduced the script to him, the story is not complicated, the main story: Zhang Yang and Gao Ju fell in love with the newborn Chenzi seen from the telescope at the same time, and the two agreed that no matter who chases this girl, the other person will have her on Saturday.
Zhang Yang won, and the three of them lived their beautiful campus life carefree. Holding high and holding Chenzi's hand every Saturday to watch a movie, the three of them use DV to record the beautiful bits and pieces of their lives. The day before New Year's Day, Gao Gao braved the pouring rain and climbed into the girls' dormitory, and Zhang Yang, who came later, quietly left after seeing the two kissing wildly......
It was another New Year's Day, and the three of them went on an outing together, Zhang Yang and Chenzi got lost, and they were gone for a year. Later, Zhang Yang and Chenzi got married, and soon they divorced again, Zhang Yang said that if Chenzi walked out of this door, he would never leave this door, and gave Huanzi a card. The three of them swore never to recognize each other......
Later, Chenzi became a photomodel. A sudden heavy rain drove away Chenzi, who was taking pictures in the square, and Gao Ju, who was wandering around, picked up Chenzi's wallet and the card in his wallet that he threw away in his panic. Through the phone chat, Chenzi met Gao Ju, who changed his name to Gao Le, and then they got married, and during the premarital examination, Chenzi told SΓΉ Gao that he was pregnant, and the child was not Gao Ju. After the silence, the two decided to commit suicide because Chenzi acquiesced to the exalted pseudonym, and both broke their oath and should die......
The love affair between two men and a woman, but it is not different from the love triangle in general film and television dramas, it is a bit of a daring love, and the style is quite avant-garde and bold.
"Which one do I play?" Although he asked, Wang Dalun had vaguely guessed that his role was likely to be exalted, because Zhang Yang was a singer.
Sure enough, Gao Xiaosong said: "You play high." I've watched "Carry Love to the End", and to be honest, although you don't play many scenes in Yusen, in my opinion, you are better than Yapeng. And Yusen is exalted in a sense, especially the scene where he runs in the rain at the end, which is particularly impressive......"
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and muttered, "Do you say that Yusen ended up in a car accident or committed suicide?"
This question really stopped Wang Dalun, when he was filming this scene, the feelings he gave to the character were painful, so he ran desperately in the heavy rain regardless of it, as for the scene of the car accident at the end, the director did not shoot it, but used the close-up of the car lights, brake sounds and car lights shining on his face to create a scene of the moment before the accident. As for whether it was a car accident or a suicide, perhaps it was a tail deliberately left by the director during post-editing.
And Wang Dalun's own experience should be both, maybe at that moment Yu Sen was in a trance, forgetting or deliberately not to dodge.
But Gao Xiaosong didn't seem to need his answer, but tilted his head slightly, and said a little teasingly: "Tagore said that there are two ways to commit suicide, one is to kill yourself completely, and the other is to kill the wrong self, I think the latter is smarter." β
Wang Dalun thought about it, if from Yusen's perspective at that time, he looked at Gao Xiaosong and said: "Yes, but if the latter one doesn't work, it's not too late to choose the former." β
"Ha!" Gao Xiaosong suddenly slapped his thigh, startling Wang Dalun and Sister Ding, who was sitting on the side and listening to the conversation between the two, only to see him look at Wang Dalun in surprise and said, "I found that I really didn't find anything wrong, you were born to be high." How about it, can you act?"
Maybe Sister Ding had greeted him before, and the autonomy to take over the play was with Wang Dalun, so when Gao Xiaosong asked, his expression was still slightly nervous.
"When will this play start?" Wang Dalun was still worried about a conflict with Lao Jia's play.
"This is a summer drama, and I initially plan to start shooting in July, no later than August. Gao Xiaosong pondered, after all, there are many uncertain factors before a movie starts shooting.
"Thank you, director, for giving me this opportunity. Since it didn't conflict with Lao Jia's play, he didn't hesitate anymore and stood up very happily. Although he hadn't read the script in its entirety, after listening to Gao Xiaosong's introduction, he felt that he still liked the story very much.
"Haha!" Gao Xiaosong was very happy and said with a smile: "It's my buddy who plays the showmanship, Pu Shu, you must have heard that he was performing in other places during this time, and when he comes back, I will introduce you to each other, and everyone will interact before filming, hehe." β
"What about Chenzi?" The three protagonists, two men and one woman, just listening to Gao Xiaosong's introduction, Wang Dalun knew that the first protagonist of this play should be the heroine, so he was a little curious.
"Well, it's not decided yet, the role of Chenzi is a test of acting skills, if you have any good candidates, you are welcome to recommend. Gao Xiaosong shook his head and said.
Wang Dalun's heart moved, thinking of someone, but then he thought about it, he hadn't read the script yet, how could he know that someone was suitable? And looking at Gao Xiaosong's appearance, he just asked casually, so he shook his head and said: "I haven't read the script yet, I really don't know." β
It was almost five o'clock when Wang Dalun came, and now it was already dark before he knew it. Gao Xiaosong was really a little late-sighted, and inadvertently looked out the window, before quickly standing up and saying, "Yo, look at me, I don't know the time to talk." Sister Ding, Da Lun, get together at night?"
"I still have something to do in the evening, so I won't go, you can go. Sister Ding smiled.
Wang Dalun originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't withstand Gao Xiaosong's warm invitation, so he had to go downstairs with him. Compared with his inconspicuous little Xiali, he drives an imported large-displacement off-road vehicle, which is a big gap!
Gao Xiaosong led the way in front of the big cross-country, and Wang Dalun's little Xiali followed behind, fortunately, the place he went was in Sanlitun, not far from Sanyuan Bridge, otherwise he was really afraid that he would not be able to keep up.
Gao Xiaosong is familiar with the way to take him to a restaurant with an inconspicuous face, but the interior is very luxurious, it is said that the owner of this restaurant is the imperial chef in the palace, and he usually has to make reservations for dinner, Gao Xiaosong and the boss are friends, and there is a special table.
After the goods sat down, they didn't need to look at the menu at all, casually reported a few names, and then said to Wang Dalun: "Let's have a drink?"
"Forget about drinking, let's all drive. Wang Dalun hurriedly said.
"Drink less, then. The product didn't think so, and directly ordered a bottle of whiskey, saying, "Just one bottle, half of us." β
In fact, Wang Dalun is not used to drinking foreign wine, but it is really difficult to be enthusiastic, thinking that at most he will park the car here and drive it again tomorrow, so he drank with Gao Xiaosong.
A few side dishes were served one after another, not to mention, the taste of the dishes was quite good, and even the whisky that I was not used to feeling too bad in my mouth.
After two glasses of wine, Gao Xiaosong started the chatter mode. It's no wonder that this product will open two extremely popular talk shows on the Internet in the future, and it can really be said that as soon as you open your mouth, you won't stop, and you will be in a mess. Wang Dalun at most echoed it at a certain critical juncture, eating delicious food and squinting at wine most of the time, just watching the live version of the talk show.
But this product is really quite erudite, whether it is history or humanities, just open your mouth, and you have to drag a few words of English when you are excited. But the topic went around and went, and finally it came to the movie. At this time, Wang Dalun only picked up two sentences from time to time, maybe only in terms of movies did the two have a little common language.
He admits that music is not his favorite, but when music makes money quickly and life is not in place, he will think of making music, but movies are not. He wanted to make movies a long, long time ago, and even dropped out of Huaqing University to study directing at the film academy, and the script of "Bronze Age" was written at that time, and now it has been five or six years.
"Actually, I'm just Brother Gongzi who is engaged in literature and art, and it is the literary and artistic form itself that attracts me, I don't have any literary and artistic thoughts, and I don't have anything to express. To be honest, even if something is expressed in the script, it is very vague. A lot of artists are very focused on reflecting society and history, and they die when they get rid of social responsibility and things like that, but I don't, basically I'm formalistic. I know that my things will not last forever at the level of the times, but I understand my position in literature and art, and I belong to the category that is more pale in culture and more shining in literature. "When it comes to the avant-garde offbeat script of Bronze Age, it seems very confident.
"Then why can't you try to dig it?" Wang Dalun was a little unconvinced, Gao Xiaosong said that the so-called artists who pay great attention to society and history, and die once they get rid of the sense of social responsibility and other sensible artists, are talking about people like Zhang Yuan and Lao Jia. For example, Zhang Yuan just finished the later stage of "Coming Home for the New Year", and hurriedly made a documentary that reflects the so-called crazy English created by a certain teacher who is of great concern in society today.
Gao Xiaosong smiled: "This is not something that can be tried, I don't have that kind of experience." I have never been in a queue or a war, and I have never been hurt by society, so I need to shake out the blood in my heart for others to see. I don't have that kind of spiritual need. I basically don't care much about the times and the deep social connotations, and I never force myself to think about things I don't like to think about, and I don't have that passion without that kind of suffering. Since I was a child, I have been in the upper echelons of this society. I went to the best school, and I had a lot of fun in it, and my life was about falling in love, and what more profound could I have?"
The creature smiled very calmly, spread out his limbs and leaned back on the chair, very relaxed, very superior. can't help but remind Wang Dalun of what happened in his previous life, thinking about it, people are really more popular than people. couldn't help but mock: "You know yourself well." β
"Yes, it's important to know that you manage yourself, and since I'm a person with a heart for fame and fortune, I know how to get fame and fortune. This product is very calm, and he actually smiled when he talked about "fame and fortune".
Seeing Wang Dalun's look of surprise, he said proudly: "I am a person with fame and fortune." Since I know that I am such a person, I have to be a smart person with fame and fortune, but in fact, everyone despises people who are often stupid people with fame and fortune. I know where my fame and fortune come from, such as where to brag about yourself, where to be humble, and where to be your own fame and fortune. β
Saying that, this product didn't care about Wang Dalun's diao silk psychology that was trouble, and continued to boast: "I think life is very good for me, I live in a high-end apartment, drive a good car, have a very beautiful girlfriend, and then go out and there are reporters chasing me, from a famous family, and I have a Beijing hukou." It would be a bit unreasonable for me to complain any more. β
The man pretended to be very content, and said: "With rich people, I can afford to eat, and I am also educated when I stay with educated people." β
Don't look at Wang Dalun who has lived a lifetime longer than others, but his last life was to live at the bottom, that is, to eat and sleep and live together, even if the two lives are combined, compared with the so-called elites in today's society, it is really far behind. Hearing Gao Xiaosong's display of such a red fruit, he was very envious, jealous and hateful, and couldn't help but follow his words: "Then you looked at yourself carefully and found that you were not dissatisfied?"
"Yes, I feel that life has given me a qiΔ, and I am thankful. β
This thing looked like it should be, and it made people very angry when it looked at it, and then he changed his words and said: "Da Lun, in fact, you are also a smart person." β
"What kind of smart person am I?" Wang Dalun laughed at himself, after a few years in the capital, he can only afford to buy a house by partnering with his girlfriend, and according to the current trend, he doesn't even earn as much as his girlfriend, and his reputation is not as loud as his girlfriend. It is not in line with Gao Xiaosong's so-called smart people who know where to get their own fame and fortune.
"Not only have I watched "Love to the End", but I have also seen your other two movies, this "East Palace and West Palace" and "Xiao Wu", although I personally don't like this type of movie, but your acting skills are definitely this ......" said, he gave a thumbs up and continued with a smile: "This is also the reason why I asked you to play Gao Ju this time." You're a person, usually unassuming, quite low-key, that's your advantage. β
Wang Dalun didn't believe his nonsense, thinking of other people's young people's ambitions, "Don't talk about it, I don't have a chance, if I have the opportunity, I would be high-profile!"
"Wrong!" Gao Xiaosong said disapprerovingly, "I believe in fate. There is a saying in the capital: It is not the business that catches up. You see, I don't know how many years have it been since I finished this Bronze Age, but I've never looked around with a script. I have to maintain my pride mentality, because my literary temperament belongs to the non-civilian kind, and I have to maintain my temperament to be able to play. If I run around the streets like a dog, I can't keep this temperament. Da Lun, keep your current temperament, maybe one day you can really become a big coffee, I'm optimistic about you!"
