Chapter 25: The Celebration Banquet
Xiao Ran smiled sassy, if he really wanted to win the award, he could make up more than ten award-winning scripts at any time. Just because he knows that sometimes winning awards is inversely proportional to the box office, and what he values is the box office. Smile shook his head to show that he was not depressed: "It's okay, you guys go back first!" ”
Cheng Long looked at the two beautiful girls, one big and one small, and asked Xiao Ran curiously: "Ah Ran, who are they?" ”
"That's Xiaohan, it's my sister!" Xiao Ran pointed at Xiao Han first, and then introduced Yang Wei: "She is my friend's sister, her name is Yang Wei!" ”
"I didn't expect Ah Ran that you are very blessed, you actually have such a beautiful sister, I really can't see what you look like!" He Guanchang is much older than Xiao Ran, but he still has a young man's nickname and makes jokes about Xiao Ran.
"In that case, why don't you ask them to go with you!" Cheng Long was both frustrated and proud tonight. The frustration is because the nominations for the two leading actors and the nominations for the best director were disappointed, and the proudness was that he won the best picture, in this case, he naturally didn't care about Xiao Ran's friends participating in it.
When Yang Wei heard Xiao Ran's introduction to her, her eyes lowered slightly, and she said timidly: "Brother Ran, I won't go, my brother is still waiting for me." ”
"Since they've all arrived, it's better to go together, and we'll go back together later!" Xiao Ran didn't realize anything, just nodded and thought it was good to do this.
Looking at Xiao Han again, this little girl forgot her brother completely, and she was asking Lin Qingxia for an autograph. Of course, Lin Qingxia has not encountered such a thing, but the little girl in front of her looks cute and lively, and she is still Xiao Ran's sister, which can't help but make her like it.
He went to a hotel with Cheng Long. Here, you can see the main creators of "Police Story", Zhang Yaozhong, these behind-the-scenes staff are there, of course, such as Taibao and Mars, and other old people in Cheng's class are also there.
The champagne was opened, and everyone began to party. The Best Picture award belongs to everyone, and everyone is very excited. Cheng Long talked for a while with Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, the bosses of Jiahe who came to congratulate him in person, then beckoned to Xiao Ran and came to the balcony together.
Xiao Ran was already young, and he was naturally very happy to participate in such a thing. When he came to the balcony, Cheng Long put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "This time, it is all up to Ah Ran to write this good script, otherwise it will be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!" ”
Cheng Long's statement is by no means an exaggeration, the most important thing in a movie is the script, director and actors. The script has always had a play, and it is even more important, and it can be said that nothing can be done without a script.
However, Cheng Long's statement is obviously just a compliment in the current environment. In this day and age, no one takes the script very seriously, only the actors are the biggest. To put it simply, in this era, there is no director's personal work, and even if there is, it is only the actor's personal work. The most typical is Xu Guanwen's work, no matter which director is changed, he is adapting to the actors, rather than letting the actors adapt to the film.
Zou Wenhuai had a smile on his face, as the owner of a film company in Xiangjiang, it was already very rare to be so approachable. He Guanchang patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and said, "Ah Ran, we plan to make a sequel to "Police Story", and it is best to make a series if possible. We want to find you a screenwriter, do you have any problems, the remuneration is naturally higher than the previous one. ”
"This ......" Xiao Ran's right hand patted lightly on the side of his thigh, he was hesitating to give them the script so early. You must know that this sequel was released in 1988, Xiao Ran was afraid that it would be given too early, and it would affect the situation in the Hong Kong film industry at that time: "I think it should be no problem, but I only have one request." I'm not used to rushing scripts while shooting, so you'll have to wait until I'm done writing it! ”
He Guanchang, Cheng Long and Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but look weird when they heard Xiao Ran's words. Xiao Ran thought that they were worried that they would take too long, so he hurriedly added: "Don't worry, I believe this won't take much time." Maybe by the time I'm done, you won't even finish the preliminary preparations! ”
When Cheng Long heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and He and Zou also chuckled. Just when Xiao Ran was confused by this laughter, Cheng Long reluctantly stopped laughing and said, "Who told you to write and shoot at the same time?" We are a big company, and we can't do something like this unprepared! ”
A big question mark suddenly appeared in Xiao Ran's head, is it not common to rush to work these days? Perhaps this phenomenon of rushing to shoot and grab money only appeared in the heyday and most fanatical nineties. He didn't quite understand, but it didn't seem to matter, did it?
Not long after Cheng Long and the three of them went in to continue drinking and celebrating, Xiao Ran silently looked up at the bright moon in the sky and thought of his parents. In the original era, he was like the only child in hundreds of millions of families in China, but when he finished his studies and entered the society, he found that everything was different from his imagination.
Frustration is always the most motivating thing, Xiao Ran began to learn to be sleek, but this tactfulness is not the same as he imagined, he must be like a dog to be a low voice. One day, he suddenly became very unaccustomed to this kind of taste, and decided not to live such a life again.
So he began to wander around, at first not so much for the pleasure of traveling, but as to escape everything that had left him very unaccustomed to. Later, he realized that it was inevitable no matter where he was, and he really got used to it, and at the same time he became obsessed with the feeling of wandering around.
He misses his parents very much, in fact, he knows that he can't live with his relatives. At the beginning, he wandered around, but he didn't think about his parents' feelings at all, and now it's too late to make up for it. Of course, wandering is not an easy task, and at least half of the journey is spent working to earn money. However, he must admit that he learned a lot from this wandering experience.
"What are you thinking?" Just when Xiao Ran was thinking about it, a delicate voice came into his ears. He turned his head to look, but it was Yang Wei with a slightly red face. Of course, Xiao Ran was not stupid enough to think that the blush was because of herself, and she must have been excited to see a big star.
"Me? Didn't think about anything! Xiao Ran looked at the girl in front of him, and the beauty that was soft enough to melt away his heart made him feel a little pounding: "How do you feel?" How was it like to meet an idol? ”
"They're not my idols, I just like them." Yang Wei looked like she wanted to quarrel with Xiao Ran, but she still only pouted slightly and objected, and then said excitedly: "However, I'm really happy to see them today, thank you for bringing me!" ”
Xiao Ran smiled slightly, if it was before, he would probably be like this. Of course, he will not be as blind as a star chaser, but a kind of appreciation and liking. He didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he diverted and said, "How is your brother's business?" ”
"It's okay, I don't know!" Yang Wei seemed to be a little disappointed, looking at the darkened man in front of her, the silver moonlight projected on her body, as if there was an indescribable charm, making her shy.
Xiao Ran nodded and called Yang Wei to go in together. He didn't want to lose this good opportunity to make friends, so he saw Lin Qingxia and Xiao Han together, and there was a Zhang Manyu who had just come next to him. He couldn't help but walk over, just as it was a beauty attraction.
"Xiaohan, don't keep pestering Sister Lin!" Xiao Ran gently scolded Xiao Han, and immediately attracted Xiao Han's eyes and a sentence to take care of!
The peerless enchanting Lin Qingxia smiled softly, and said to Xiao Ran in not very fluent Cantonese: "It's not in the way, I like Xiaohan very much." By the way, we'll have a chance to work together soon, you know that, right? ”
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that "Dao Ma Dan" was about to start filming, presumably referring to this. Obviously, his guess was wrong, and Lin Qingxia immediately proved it: "Director Xu will start filming a new film soon, and he plans to let you play the male lead in that film." ”
Xiao Ran was really stunned this time, if Lin Qingxia was referring to "Dao Ma Dan", then it should be Zheng Haonan who played the male lead. The news shocked him, and he immediately had some bad associations. If this is true, doesn't that mean that there has been a change in history as he knows it.
However, Xiao Ran always knew that he was already a variable when he came here. It is inevitable that there will be events that are different from history, but they will appear sooner or later. Of course, he will naturally try to make this change happen as late as possible in order to maintain his advantage.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ran, who digested the news, immediately determined that there was no loss to him in playing this role, and there was not much loss to Zheng Haonan. So, he shook his head at Lin Qingxia: "Director Xu hasn't mentioned it to me yet, but I think he will tell me soon!" ”
The thought of being able to act with Lin Qingxia, who was praised as the first beauty in China, Xiao Ran's heartbeat at least doubled. If nothing else, he must agree to this. Of course, Lin Qingxia didn't realize the despicable thoughts in Xiao Ran's heart, otherwise she would probably be slapped out.
"However, to be honest, the script you wrote is really great, a talented male ...... like you" Lin Qingxia looked Xiao Ran up and down with an ambiguous expression before she said the latter words: "Boy, it's really rare!" ”
What else can Xiao Ran say, Lin Qingxia is indeed much older than him, and it is never an exaggeration to say that he is a boy. Scratching his head in embarrassment, he still decided to protest: "Sister Lin, where do you think I still look like a boy?" I don't think so! ”
Of course, Lin Qingxia was just joking, of course she could see that Xiao Ran had a maturity and stability that did not match her age, and the wonderful thing was that she also had a very innocent taste. Hearing Xiao Ran's protest, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, just be a man!" Speaking of this award, it's a pity that you didn't win the award. ”
"That's nothing!" Most of the time, Xiao Ran was quite mature, and at this time he smiled indifferently: "I'm still young, and I have a chance!" ”
At this time, Cheng Long came over with a glass full of wine, and said to Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia with an unusually kind smile: "It turns out that you are hiding here and whispering, no wonder I can't find you anywhere......"
Seeing Cheng Long coming, Xiao Ran hurriedly and consciously dodged away, and pulled Xiao Han, who was blinking and listening to the conversation, turned around and left the two. In the eyes of Cheng Long, Xiao Ran obviously saw a trace of wonderful emotion, and it was not nonsense to think that Cheng Long's crush on Lin Qingxia was not nonsense. He didn't want Cheng Long to misunderstand anything, so he had to stay away from Lin Qingxia.
(Many friends say that it is better to have a character introduction, so that friends who don't know much about film characters can understand.) I thought, it's better to take this opportunity to try it out, and if you think it's good and don't disturb everyone's mood of reading, then try to introduce one at the end of each chapter in the future)
The title of the novel - Swimming in the Sea
The real name - You Naihai
Profession: Screenwriter
You Naihai is not famous, but in the hearts of fans, he is definitely a supreme name. It is almost certain that as long as it is a film written by You Naihai, it is a classic. For fans and film critics who know how to analyze films, You Naihai is the most important pillar to achieve Johnny To's prestige, and without the script he wrote, it would be difficult for Johnny To to do anything more.
The most typical thing is that "Dragon and Phoenix Fight" and "Big Event" did not have You Naihai's participation in the writing, and these two films were immediately scolded on the street, and then "Judo Dragon and Tiger List" You Naihai participated in the screenwriting again, and the film became one of the top ten Hong Kong films recommended by the Hong Kong Film Critics Association last year. He is definitely one of the most talented and sensitive genius screenwriters. Some people say that because "Dark War" invited a French screenwriter, it has the classic romance on the bus, and because of You Naihai, it has the most incisive classic fighting wit. Many people believe that he is the first gold medal screenwriter in Hong Kong.
Representative works: "Gunfire", "Dark War", "One Hundred Thousand Urgent", "Dark Flower", "Very Suddenly", "True Hero", "Goodbye Ah Lang", "PTU", "Big Branch" ...... Each of these is a classic, and I feel sorry for him if I don't list it.
