Chapter 177 Scene 177 The directors of Beiying
Li Xiaole was extremely excited to find the script, and sat down on a bench with the script book in his hand, but before he could sit down, he heard a deep voice next to him:
"How did you find it?" A big hand reached over and grabbed the script, and there were five or six directors sitting in the next compartment.
I saw that the man sat down on the seat again and frowned when he read the script, and turned his head to scold: "What are you ...... here?" suddenly saw Li Xiaole's appearance clearly, and was stunned, Li Xiaole was also stunned, the person in front of him was full of scum, his body was thick, and he looked at you with a pair of eyes when he looked at people, making you feel a pressure almost immediately.
Hey, isn't this the Jiang Wen I saw in the hospital that day? What a coincidence, he is also pondering the script here? Li Xiaole was surprised and surprised, and then looked at the gray-haired old directors next to him, and immediately recognized a few, Huang Jianzhong, Juan, Qi Xing...... Are these all the well-known veteran directors of the old Beijing Film Studio, seeing that these people are all squeezed on the sofa in Jiang Wen's cubicle with serious faces, Li Xiaole doesn't know what happened.
At this time, there was a flat-headed young man about Li Xiaole's age in the distance, who came over in a panic with two script books: "Here, Mr. Jiang~ This is the script you want." ”
"Wei Xiao~ How can you do this?" Jiang Wen pointed at Li Xiaole with a big brother and said, "You let me treat others as you, and you don't want to go with this little classmate?" ”
"I'm sorry~Brother~I'm sorry~" The young man hurriedly apologized to Li Xiaole.
Li Xiaole looked at the young man who was tall and thin, with a long face wearing glasses, and his dull facial features were very bookish, and he immediately recognized it, isn't this the "horse bandit old seven" in "Let the Bullets Fly"?
Recognized this young man, Li Xiaole was happy at that time, this Wei Xiao used to be in Jiang Wen's crew and was responsible for leading them to move the stand-in actors, at that time everyone called him "Brother Smiling", he was very good, but there were some small problems with fox and fake tiger, and he often followed Jiang Wen's ass to pose as a second member of the crew, it turned out that he was Jiang Wen's student from this time.
"Hello Wei Xiao." Li Xiaole smiled and said hello to the future screenwriter and assistant director of "Let the Bullets Fly".
"Are you ......" stunned Qingwei smiled at this time deliberately glanced at the number plate on Li Xiaole's chest, and immediately opened his mouth slightly and exclaimed:
"You are Director Xiao Li who is new to our factory, hello hello hello ~ I am fortunate to be lucky to meet ~ " Warmly shook hands with Li Xiaole, but he couldn't stop being surprised in his eyes, thinking that this Director Xiao Li was much younger than the legend, and several old directors smiled and said hello to Li Xiaole.
"Well, hello, Li Xiaole, I'm Lao Jiang." Jiang Wen just glanced at Li Xiaole with his eyes, then returned his attention to the script book in his hand, and frowned as soon as he flipped through it: "Why is the production list in front of this script book missing?" How does this know who's right. ”
"It's too old to turn over, that page seems to have dropped, Xiao Jiang~ Don't fight with me, I said that I remember that I remember that the starring role of "Bridge on the River Kwai" is David Niven." Huang Jian, who had lost half of his hair, looked at Jiang Wen with a smile and said, "You must be mistaken." ”
"What are you talking about?" Li Xiaole saw that the two seemed to be arguing about something, and said with a curious smile.
"It's nothing, just now these big directors watched an old movie "Bridge on the River Kwai", the dish was spent, Director Huang said that the starring role was David Niwen, and asked me to find David Niwen's information booklet, which is not good for the clips that Mr. Jiang wants......"
Before Wei Xiao finished speaking, Jiang Wen interrupted him, looked at him and said: "I said, there is no David Niven in "The Bridge of the River Kwai", the director of this movie is called David Lean, who won the Oscar, and I said that I have watched this movie seven times." ”
"Eh, Xiao Jiang, what kind of tantrum are you having~ I asked Wei Xiao to check the information, everything must be based on facts, you can't be so twisted, Juan, and Qi Xingke all remember David Niven, are we all mistaken?" Huang Jianxing patted Jiang Wen's shoulder with a smile, the two are old friends, have an excellent relationship, and love to joke with each other.
After listening to Wei Xiao, Li Xiaole found that the old directors next to him were all looking at this side expectantly, and seemed to hope that Jiang Wen, the invincible junior in the world, could say in front of them, "I was wrong." ”
Li Xiaole couldn't help but laugh dumbly in his heart, these old directors of Beijing Film Studio are really interesting, they can be vindictive in this kind of thing, alas~ It's no wonder that there is no Baidu Encyclopedia in these years, and it is indeed very difficult to check the information, after thinking about it, I can't help but smile and say fairly:
"Actually, what Mr. Jiang said is right."
Listening to several old directors, they were stunned.
"Alas~ Director Xiao Li, how do you know? "Bridge on the River Kwai" is a film shortly after the end of World War II, may I ask, did your father give birth at that time~" Juan, a bearded director next to him, reacted and shouted, causing everyone to laugh.
In the ridicule of the directors, Li Xiaole didn't care, just smiled faintly:
"The date of filming of "Bridge over the River Kwai" is not exactly shortly after the end of World War II, but a British film in 1957, the director is indeed David Lean, and the actor is Alec Guinness, he won the Oscar for Best Actor that year, and David Niven was filming "Separate Table" that year, he was the 1958 Oscar for Best Actor, and the two names are indeed easy to confuse...... If you still don't believe me, you can check the historical materials of the Oscars......"
After Li Xiaole finished speaking, everyone showed suspicious expressions, including Jiang Wen, none of them could remember those old European and American movies in the 50s so clearly, how could such a child remember.
"Wei Xiao, go find Oscar's information, go quickly." Jiang Wen commanded in a thick and penetrating voice.
After hearing this, Wei Xiao immediately ran again, and after a while, he took the Oscar brochure and shouted excitedly: "Director Xiao Li is right~ Director Xiao Li is right~"
Everyone was stunned, and Huang Jianxing beckoned: "Wei Xiao, bring it to me." Several old directors took the heavy information book and looked at it, and they all showed disappointed expressions, shook their heads and sighed, they were all extremely disappointed that they couldn't see Jiang Wen today.
But the real most disappointed person at the scene was Jiang Wen himself, he looked at Huang Jianxing deeply for a long time, and then lowered his voice and said slowly:
"Huang Lao, I'm not here to bet on your meal, I just want to tell you, don't bet on people what you don't count, especially don't raise the bar on the movie for me."
"Yes, yes~ You kid won again, can't I have a treat, can't I have a treat?" Huang Jianxing, a sixty-year-old veteran director who is sixty years old this year, was choked by Jiang Wen, but he was extremely open-minded and laughed disapprovingly.
But after teaching his director predecessors, Jiang Wen was not satisfied at all, because when Li Xiaole said the information just now, he didn't believe it very much, and Li Xiaole could say this, he seemed to be more clever than him, he didn't care about anything else, when it came to movies, if he lost to others, he felt disgraced, let alone lost to a hairy boy.
"Okay Xiao Jiang, don't put on a face, I lost, I'll invite you to dinner later." Huang Jianxing saw that Jiang Wen was a little sullen, so he took the initiative to smile and propose:
"Director Xiao Li, you see that you have joined our group, we should also have a statement, why don't you also enjoy your face and have a meal together." After Huang Jianxing finished speaking, he remembered Li Xiaole and brought him with him by the way.
"Yes, if you don't bother." Li Xiaole said with a smile when he heard this, but his eyes looked at Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen immediately looked at him strangely with the eyes of "Zhang Mazi": "Why do you think it will disturb?" It's too bothering~" Turning his head to Wei and smiling:
"What are you doing in a daze, it's time to eat now, go order food~ the most haode, go back to the palace to eat, Lao Huang, don't pretend, I'll treat you and go together."
"Okay, good~" Huang Jianxing hahadaxiao, Jiang Wen's temper he has long figured out, as long as this little Jiang wins the bet, he will definitely treat him, where do you need to pay out of his own pocket, so he loves to deliberately find awkward gambling with Jiang Wen, you can see his embarrassment if you win, and you can have a meal if you lose, why not do it.
In this way, Li Xiaole was taken to a courtyard of the Working People's Cultural Palace by the two seniors, this is the "palace" that Jiang Wen said, and it is also the location of his real "Taimiao Studio", Li Xiaole has never met him in Beiying, because he has been working in the "palace" all the time.
Jiang Wen personally put the folding table in the office under the tree outside the courtyard, and asked Wei Xiao to go outside to buy a few vegetables to pack and bring back, and the three of them gathered around the small table, drinking beer and chatting.
After Jiang Wen drank two taels of liquor, he pulled his sleeves apart, took out a set of stereos from the room in a hurry, turned on the play button and played "Dongfang Hong", and patted the speaker and said: "Drinking and listening to this is the only way to be energetic." ”
grabbed Li Xiaole and began to talk about his script: "Xiao Li~ Let me tell you, the story I want to shoot this time is a novel called "Velvet", this story is very interesting... It's about a female doctor who came back from abroad......"
Li Xiaole This is the first time to "listen" to the script, when he closes his eyes, he seems to want to recall the plot of Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises", he obviously felt that Jiang Wen's body temperature exceeded 38 degrees when he told the story, and he listened to it, and his emotions also started a high fever, it seems that just listening to Jiang Wen is more interesting than the movie he watched.
When Jiang Wen was halfway through the highlights, his interest was high, and he raised his wine glass and groaned: "It's as clear as the moon, when can it be broken, worry comes from it, and it can't be cut off~"
Many people say that Jiang Wen is a person with weather, but Li Xiaole felt his worries from his slightly drunk eyes, which was not only petty love, but also worries about art and life...... There was a solemnity in that worry, and he secretly sighed in his heart about his attitude towards the movie, he was too far behind him.
"Xiao Jiang, can you stop talking about the script, every time someone talks about this script, I hear it almost thirty times......" Huang Jianxing protested very unhappily.
Jiang Wen turned his head and looked at him strangely: "Are you tired of listening?" Then you must have read my script~? ”
"Don't dare, don't dare~" Huang Jianxing saw Jiang Wen's more sincere expression, and knew that something bad was wrong, and waved his hand again and again.
"There is a pair in the script, I haven't written the second half, Director Huang, you can help me pair." Jiang Wen borrowed the strength of the wine and pointed to the trees in the yard and said heroically: "It's about using trees." ”
"Ah......" Huang Jianxing was dumbfounded when he heard that he was going to pair up, of course he knew that Jiang Wen was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he didn't remember if the script had this pair, and he bragged just now that he had listened to it twenty or thirty times, and he couldn't talk back, Huang Jianxing didn't notice that Li Xiaole next to him had bright eyes, and he seemed to be very interested......
