126|Those days of filmmaking

A few days later, Shao Zongyan, accompanied by economist Yan Hanjiang and his assistant who provided for his own room and board, went to meet Liu Guanghui, the director who won three world gold medals and can be called a national treasure. He was about forty or fifty years old, with gray sideburns and strong spirits, and was waiting for them in a private room of a Japanese restaurant, accompanied by Zhou Tianna, a female artist he rescued that day, and Cao Jing, an assistant director of a television station.

Originally, he was not interested in filming this kind of drama that spends money to support an outsider, but he listened to Zhou Tianna's description of the thrilling night in the ghost house, which aroused his inspiration, and he wanted to meet this heavenly master who has real skills and lives like a fairy. As for the fact that he later asked his assistant Wu Zhen to call someone to make an appointment, and an economist surnamed Yan said that "Master Shao doesn't accept ghost films" or something, he didn't take it too seriously.

That Master Shao was originally a heavenly master who hunted ghosts, where did he say that he didn't accept ghost films? If he didn't hunt ghosts, what else could he fight with? Acting, or face? Although Tiana and Cao Jing both praised that Shao Tianshi for how good he looked and how attractive he was, what they wanted on the big screen was not that kind of gaudy appearance, but to be distinctive, characteristic, and temperamental...... There are too many beautiful faces in the entertainment industry, and beauty is already the most worthless trait, and an international director like him still doesn't like that kind of worldly and glamorous face.

But this world is a cruel, face-looking world, and people in the entertainment industry are even more pioneers in face-watching. When the door opened, revealing a merry face that he had never seen in the entertainment industry for so many years, Director Liu suddenly threw the "characterful" actor behind, stared at his face with a pair of eyes, got up from the tatami mat and walked towards the door, reached out to shake his hand, and said in surprise: "You are the Master Shao that Tiana and Ah Jing said?" Have you ever had acting experience before? Can you tell me about the way of your Heavenly Master? ”

His hand was just about to catch Shao Zongyan's palm, but he was held down by a hand that was cold and smooth without flaws. Director Liu subconsciously turned his face sideways, and only then did he find that Shao Zongyan was still with a man with a face and figure that was not inferior to him, but his temperament was completely different-it could be said that it was more in line with what he expected the Heavenly Master to look like.

"Who is this?" He was shocked again, and his eyes stuck to Yan Hanjiang's face and couldn't pull them out. Just wanted to ask him if he could play the Heavenly Master in his new movie, Yan Xianchang grabbed his hand and shook it quickly, and then quickly let go when he just remembered to shake it back, took out the gold wire glasses with a sub-polar temperament from the breast pocket of the suit and put them on the bridge of his nose, and nodded indifferently: "Fortunately, I have contacted your assistant, Shao Zongyan's agent, Yan Hanjiang." ”

Now even the ghost-hunting heavenly master has an agent, and the agent's appearance is still so high! Director Liu didn't know which one was more incredible for a while, but Yan Hanjiang's cold and ascetic temperament really moved him too much - he has been really abstinent for tens of thousands of years, and it is easy to get a goblin who has to have artificial contraception, that sense of abstinence, leverage! There is no comparison between male artists in the entertainment industry who have been in love seven or eight times at a young age!

This is the actor he wants!

Although Master Shao has real skills, what he wants to shoot is the kind of celestial master who lives in seclusion, not a celestial master who is handsome and handsome, and there are female ghosts pursuing him wherever he goes! He asked excitedly, "Xiao Yan, do you want to act in this Heavenly Master movie?" Your temperament is exactly the same as the Heavenly Master I imagined......"

"What Celestial Master?" Yan Hanjiang frowned and glanced at the assistant beside him. Assistant Wu made him look cold behind him, and looked up at the big triangle in front of him blankly, Zhou Tianna and Cao Jing also quietly pulled a handful of Director Liu's clothes behind his back, and persuaded in a low voice: "Director Liu, you are the wrong person, we want you to make a movie about this Master Shao, not his boyfriend!" ”

"Boyfriend? Not a broker? Director Liu subconsciously asked.

Yan Hanjiang coughed lightly and said confidently: "Boyfriend can't be an agent at the same time?" After that, he stepped over to the table and picked up the stack of outlines he had written based on the oral experiences of several victims, swept his senses slightly, threw the entire handful of paper back, shook his head sternly and said: "Director Liu, this script is not good, we said before, Master Shao does not accept ghost movies." He is not a ghost hunter at all, but a professional wilderness survival and rescue expert, and we will only take on movies that can show his professionalism, and will not make niche films that have no popularity. ”

"What do you mean by a niche film? That's art, art is lonely, do you understand? Do you think I'm the kind of kitsch commercial film director? ”

His voice was getting higher and higher, Zhou Tianna and Cao Jing couldn't hold him, but Yan Hanjiang still had an unmoved expression, pushed the glasses that had not slipped at all, and said indifferently: "That's because the direction of your literature and art is wrong, and it's not easy to make a literary film?" What kind of heavenly master to shoot ghosts, the ones you can shoot are feudal superstitions! There is neither artistic nor scientific, which is irresponsible to the audience and the social atmosphere! Delete all the kitsch love scenes and replace them with the feelings of two men, wouldn't it be niche and literary? ”

…… Still feudal superstition? Isn't your Master Shao a heavenly master who hunts ghosts? Liu Guanghui looked at Shao Zongyan angrily, wanting him to take care of his agent.

Shao Daochang listened to literature and art for a long time in a fog, and suddenly saw Director Liu's eyes fall on him, so he smiled politely: "Why don't we order the food first and talk slowly while eating?" ”

This smile is like a peach blossom blooming in the sky, illuminating the entire Japanese room. Although Director Liu still couldn't accept him playing the heavenly master in his heart, looking at his smiling face was like seeing a muse, and he hurriedly took out a pen and a book to write down the new story that came to mind at this time. Without his insistence on the lonely high literary and artistic path, everyone suddenly embarked on the secular road of flesh and desire, Yan Hanjiang didn't care whether he was literary or not, and immediately greeted the waiter at the door: "Order food, add more meat, put on a pot of boiled fish, what fish do you have here?" ”

The waiter has been working for so many years, and he has never seen boiled fish in a Japanese restaurant, and he reported the menu and said, "MeatWe have high-quality Wagyu beef from Wajima here, and a variety of fresh imported vegetables, but there is no boiled fish, only deep-sea fish sashimi, and the store has fresh sea bream, salmon, tuna, arctic shellfish, sea urchin, ......."

"No need to report it!" Yan Hanjiang pushed the gold wire glasses, and said with a cold expression: "Just serve your beef and fish, ask for large pieces of meat, we will cut them ourselves, there are shrimp and crabs and a few plates, and the drink will be served with some iced tea or juice, don't serve wine." Fortunately, we brought boiled fish seasoning from home, otherwise we wouldn't have eaten this meal. ”

In the stunned stare of everyone, he really turned over the boiled fish seasoning from Shao Zongyan's waist, and tore it open to eat it as a hot pot. The waiter had never heard of ordering meat on a whole piece, and said aggrievedly: "Our meat is freshly cut by the chef invited by Hijima, and it is all on a plate, and it has never been served on a piece." ”

The room full of people was very embarrassed, and quietly looked at Master Shao, hoping that he could take care of this boyfriend who was not doing his job. Master Shao received their grievances, but he couldn't imagine that there were still people in this world who didn't like him, Brother Yan, so after a little thought, he said: "Since there is no meat here, forget it, let's go to the supermarket and buy some back, and cook hot pot at home, right?" My cooking skills are okay, if you don't dislike it, you can go to your house tomorrow for a meal? ”

…… How can there be such a good man in the world who spoils his boyfriend! How can I not catch up with such a man!

Except for Director Liu, who is immersed in literature and art, everyone else looks sad and indignant that the sky has abandoned me and I would rather be single. Only tomorrow at home called these two people to flash every day, barely had resistance, walked to the door and discussed with the waiter for a while, and finally let them serve the food according to Yan Hanjiang's requirements.

The fish that should have been neatly cut into small pieces and packed into ice trays has become a large piece of meat as if it had just been brought back from the market. The snowflakes and cows that usually eat so many at one meal are now on the table, and the value seems to have dropped dozens of times, which makes people have the same spirit as eating ordinary mutton. There are also plates of Arctic shellfish, sweet shellfish, sea urchins, tuna...... The three who were ready to pay had already given up on themselves and stopped thinking about the bills.

However, such a big piece of meat can't be shabu-shabu, so tomorrow I will ask Yan Hanjiang: "Do you want the chef to come over and slice the meat on the spot?" The chef here is very good, and every time we come to eat Wagyu, the meat is thin...... It's like not eating. "So much money can't be spent in vain, you have to eat it in place to be worthy of his wallet and bank deposit that is about to bleed to death!

Shao Zongyan smiled: "I brought a knife, I'll cut it." ”

The three victims immediately thought of his scimitar that cut abalone, cut ghosts, and finally chopped ghost bones, and hurriedly stopped him with Erkang's hand: "No! This restaurant provides knives for free, so let's not use them in vain, don't waste your good knife to kill ghosts! ”

The three hands were still hanging in the air, and Shao Daochang had already taken out a sharpened cleaver from his waist, and the blade turned in the dim light, and it also shone with a terrifying light.

Where did that knife come from?

They didn't even have time to think about it before they saw the thin, sharp chef's knife flying up and down in the air, peeling out the long, shiny slices of beef and smearing them on the plate. At the beginning, they could still see the action of the knife, and after cutting a few slices, Shao Zongyan seemed to be familiar with the feel of this kind of meat when it was cut, and he didn't even look at it, his arms flew up and down, the meat slices rose and fell with the knife, and the neat silver-gray high-end suit was not stained with even a little meat crumbs or a trace of oil.

Zhou Tianna was so shocked that she whistled and called Director Liu, who was writing an outline, back to her senses.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that the outline he had just written was set as a romantic but infatuated crush on the heroine of the movie, abused by the heroine, abused by the male protagonist, abused by the male protagonist, abused by the boss, and finally died tragically in the arms of the heroine in order to save the heroine. The slices of meat are so thin that they are transparent, and the blade of the knife is so bright that the whole Japanese room is illuminated like a luminous body...... No way! This image is different from his setting! How can a masochistic male second man with a romantic appearance and a hidden infatuation be a chef who cuts meat with a kitchen knife and cuts each with a shiny face? The story he just came up with is about to have another car accident!

"How can you cut meat! Why do you want to cut meat! You should be the kind of elegant noble man who eats meat and only cuts two pieces and stops! ”

Shao Zongyan happened to finish cutting a piece of fatty tuna, put down the knife and said with a smile: "Cutting meat is an ancestral craft, how can you put it down." The ancestors of our sect made imperial meals for the palace, and they were driven out of the palace after the change of dynasty. I also like to cook for Brother Yan......"

Yan Hanjiang's expression was slightly warm, nodded at him, stretched out his hand to take away the outline that Director Liu had just written, and threw it into the fire under the hot pot: "I also like to eat." Director Liu, I said that our Master Shao doesn't accept ghost movies, you should be more open-minded - let's do it, I'll show you a documentary, and you can learn the advanced ideas of other directors. ”

Monkey business! He is already a top international director, with his own style, and the movies he makes are Xia Guo's business cards, what advanced ideas do you want to learn-

Director Liu was about to stand up as soon as he slapped the table, but he couldn't stand up somehow, and the agent next to him, who was wearing a white suit and a black shirt, dressed like an iceberg, only looked at him lightly, and all the strength in his body disappeared, and the whole person could only sit in place as if he had been pointed. The agent lowered his head and fiddled with a mirror, as if a round LED light cannon had been put in, and then the small Japanese-style room suddenly changed color and turned into another wonderful space.

He saw people coming and going, dressed in a strong European classical style, and looking up at the tall painted dome, which was not a religious painting he was familiar with, but a large-scale war theme. The group of them seemed to have crossed into another dimension together with the table, and the people around them walked past them, some even passed over them, but none of them noticed their existence.

"This ...... This is Master Shao's ghost-hunting equipment? Is this a spell or a witchcraft? Liu Guanghui's heart to pursue art thumped, and Manager Yan pointed coldly beside him: "Look at the back." ”

Behind Director Liu, Shao Zongyan, who was supposed to be cutting meat slices opposite him, walked to their table with a snake and a fish and a bird on his head.

The realistic voice and movements made him almost fall away, Yan Hanjiang raised his hand and pointed at it, and stabilized him and the little assistant beside him, although Zhou Tianna and Cao Jing were also engaged, but they had a night of watching movies before, and they were not as nervous as him, so they hurriedly came up to support him and comforted: "Director Liu, don't be afraid, this is a holographic 5D live-action dynamic movie, you can't really step on the hot pot." Master Shao They are hidden masters, their ancestors have black technology handed down from the palace, and this movie can also exorcise ghosts, we can live to this day thanks to this! ”

Under his persuasion, the two people who had seen the world for the first time sat down and continued to watch. Master Shao standing in the void is almost always in the center of the picture, and the space around him changes with their position, and suddenly, Yan Hanjiang, who was talking to him about art just now, jumped out of nowhere, revealing considerable muscles in his upper body and a strange fishtail that is white in the front and black in the back.

The people around him actually called him "mermaid"!

Director Liu subconsciously glanced to the side, only to see that the agent who performed the mermaid was completely in his true colors, and his body was crooked in front of Master Shao, and he opened his mouth to take the red oil shabu wagyu he clipped.

Why does it smell so good? Boiled fish seasoning shouldn't taste right when making hot pot...... Director Liu walked away for a while, and also put a piece of beef in the pot and lightly scalded it, the beef slices were cut too thinly, almost just put in and began to turn white and roll, and then put it into the dipping sauce of the raw egg and dipped it, the taste was sweet and tender, and it was not inconsistent at all. Although Master Yan in the picture had just stepped into the hot pot soup with one foot, he couldn't help but sandwich another piece of meat and shake it up.

But as soon as the meat was put in his mouth, he almost choked on the sudden change of styleβ€”and suddenly a man in black leather clothes who would never pass the trial appeared in front of him, with a small whip in his hand, and was picking the chin of a skinny little dwarf. That mermaid is not a problem with her true performance, but she has no acting skills, and she just closes her eyes and pretends to be dead there. Shao Zongyan in the picture showed a feeling of anger and remorse very well, his eyes were bright, he picked up the man with his hand, and fed a pill that came from nowhere.

Although the fight scenes are simple and one-sided, they are so beautiful!

is so beautiful, it looks even a little weak, he always thought that only a man who was good looking at abuse actually beat people so chic and smooth! With the domineering and light movements that look at the world when there are more than a dozen, people can't turn their eyes, and Xia Guo's current popular star is like he doesn't know kung fu!

What kind of martial arts design is this, what kind of late stage is this! Director Liu couldn't help but slap the table, glared at Shao Zongyan and asked, "This picture is too strong, how did you shoot it?" Is there a use of stand-ins? ”

Shao Daochang was sandwiching the peeled sweet shrimp meat and feeding it to his boyfriend, and responded casually: "It was Mr. Shen who took the picture for me, and he was ...... He is a very strong post-production team, this film from photography, editing, dimming, music and everything is done by himself, I just do the usual work, and accept an interview with the host Qingjing's predecessors. ”

This is a documentary.

A documentary with only one camera, one post-production staff, and one host, but it has beaten the whole Xia Kingdom, no, the world's film industry.

Liu Guanghui seems to have a door in front of him, as long as he pushes it open, it can open a new era for the film industry, as a director, or as an ordinary person who loves the film industry, he can't help but push that door.

This time, he put away an outline in his mind, lowered his posture, and asked humbly: "Is this set of shooting equipment produced by your Yuanyang Canghua Game Company?" If you are willing to apply for a patent, I can help you contact the patent office and make sure that you retain the maximum rights, and I just want to make a film with this photographic technique for the rest of my life. ”

At this time, it is up to the broker to talk. Yan Hanjiang put a spoonful of well-seasoned sea urchin into Shao Zongyan's mouth, held up the frame, and glanced at him with a keen gaze: "Our Master Shao is a rescue expert, and we can't get the right to sell it for the time being." But if he's in this ...... If he can make a popular blockbuster and gain enough popularity around the world, the company will consider the commercial value here, and may open a sales point. ”

He stuffed the pen and paper into Director Liu's hand, and said thoughtfully: "Please rewrite a script according to Master Shao's strengths, we are all laymen, I am afraid that the movie will not be made well, it will not become popular, and the game official will not give follow-up support." ”

"Good!" Director Liu's eyes ignited a strong fighting spirit, and he called his friend who is good at making commercial films on the spot, asking him to do this major thing to promote the progress of the film industry in Zhongxia with him. After contacting several investors and deciding on the producer and team, he slapped his black gold card on the table and said proudly: "I'll invite you for this meal, and I'll have two more kilograms of beef!" ”
