Chapter Forty-Eight: "Little Strong"
In China, in addition to seeing the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, you must go to Yucai, right in China, then, let's go.
… Time Magazine
Yucai is a magical place that brings together some of China's best martial arts masters and artists, and we have reason to suspect that it brings together some of the best minds in Chinese history.
… The Times
Don't underestimate any kid who walks past you, whether he's a champion or not, at least you can't outrun or jump him, and if you can hold your breath in the water for more than three minutes, you can talk to him.
… Dong-A Ilbo, South Korea
Xiao, the current principal of Yucai, is a leader with a unique personality and charisma, with Eastern conservatism and Western humor all in one, well, I have to admit that the reason why I flattered him so much was because he cured my stomach.
… Washington Post
Don't ask anymore, I was defeated, but why do you keep insisting that my opponent is a driver?
… Three-time karate champion of Japan, Mr. Asasan Yushiro
Unless our children are sent to Yucai, the loss of the gold medal will continue to recur in the future, and we are no longer at the same starting line.
… Remarks made on the website by the Singapore Sanda organiser
The above are the comments of the world's media and organizations, including some people, on Yucai, and it can be said that they were really shocked after they visited Yucai, but I was quite puzzled by Jim's opinion published in the Washington Post, I really can't think of how conservative I am, every day can be expressed, I have never rejected blonde and blue-eyed foreign chicks. As for humor, it's probably my locked-up gold cup, Jim, the kid really made headlines about my photo with it, and his last sentence got me into a lot of trouble, as far as the farmers around Yucai and as far away as North America and Europe. There is an endless stream of people who come to ask for stomach pour, you know. The stomach is an organ that is prone to problems, but it does not necessarily hurt because of improper diet, or it may be stomach ulceration, high stomach acid, and of course, it may also be hungry. Except for the last one that can be cured by giving two steamed buns, Bian Que's prescription cannot cure all diseases. He is also a very responsible doctor, which led to him only specializing in stomach diseases for a long time in the future, and then led to our Yucai in addition to being a famous school, and the treatment of stomach diseases has also become a must...
In addition, our school quickly became a tourist destination after being featured in the world's mainstream media many times. Every day, foreigners of all nationalities and colors carry bags and cameras in an endless stream, and I have thought about learning from a famous university in our country, closing the school gate and prohibiting idlers from visiting. I even thought about simply forgetting the school gate, anyway, most of the people in Yucai have the ability to jump high and low, but historical experience tells us that self-retreat is not a way, fortunately, although there are many tourists, we do not need to be responsible for reception, and when it comes to the meal, we also pay out of pocket to buy food from our canteen, which is also a means of earning foreign exchange, and there is also an advantage that the children are with these people every day, they can broaden their horizons and cultivate self-confidence, even the most shy students, are indispensable to use a few words of foreign language to deal with the problems of the old field, Those who graduated from our Yucai have an English level of 6 or above.
In fact, if you want to talk about secrets, there are no secrets in our school, and the outstanding ones are all real skills, and these people with real skills are the biggest secrets, but this secret is kept in the hearts of every insider, and it will never be because you mistakenly pressed the mechanism on a rockery to flash out a mountain gate, so I can rest assured that it will go with the flow.
Soon after, Li Shishi's film premiered in Shanghai, and under Jin Shaoyan's strong appeal, there were really a lot of stars from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The movie is 80 minutes long, but it costs 6700 yuan, the whole film does not use any stars, and the actor does not even show his face, such a film does not dare to say that it is the last, but it must be unprecedented, only I understand in my heart that the reason why this freak can be born is completely because Jin Shaoyan gave strong support behind it, from concept to money, if it is not Li Shishi, even if the director who can count in China will not be willing to try... A film with no stars, no big scenes, but a huge cost.
Although I couldn't be there in person, Jin Shaoyan naturally arranged for someone to arrange a live broadcast for me and Baozi, and after the lively star entry and performance, the film started with a chaotic woman giving birth, which was an unremarkable opening, and the baby who was about to be born was Master Li. The baby later grew into a little girl, but her father died in prison, and Master Li adopted it for the brothel boss...
It was only after watching the film that I realized that Master Li was really surnamed Wang before, and I didn't watch the whole movie with blood boiling or yawning, it was a very ordinary story, and I didn't even use a special perspective to explain the sour heart of being a prostitute, like Master Li sitting in front of me calmly telling her past, the film ended in the Jin Bing Rebellion, and Master Li's figure disappeared in a flash, which probably means that her final life and death are not important, in short, she is hidden in this troubled world.
When the cast began to scroll out on the screen, Baozi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes while eating popcorn and said: "Xiao Nan acted so well, I almost thought she was Master Li." ”
I asked rhetorically, "Okay?" What's good? If there is no big scene, let's not talk about it, why the kiss scene
One? I asked Baozi again, "Why are you crying?" ”
There is really nothing to be sad about, the protagonist did not get leukemia in the end, nor was he hit by a car, nor was he frozen, and sank straight to the bottom of the water under the gaze of his lover...
Baozi glared at me and said, "How pitiful Master Li is!" ”
I laughed and said, "What's the pitiful? I saw her eating and drinking and dancing in the big house. ”
Baozi said: "A woman, no one really loves her, is it not pitiful to live like this every day?" ”
Wow, so these are inner monologues, huh? Since this bun has become the owner of the bun shop, he has a good appreciation for it! But I may be too familiar with Master Li, I really don't feel any sadness, the biggest feeling I have in this film is that the costumes and props are very special and exquisite... That's how the 6,700 was spent.
End of movie. Turn on the headlights, and it is supposed to be the applause at this time... Even if it shoots, you have to give Jin Shaoyan a face, but the audience didn't even applaud, if it was a normal situation. Jin Shaoyan will take the lead in applauding at this juncture, but today is an exception. He didn't put a lot of effort into this movie, just like his work, so Jin Shaoyan didn't have the first to clap.
Master Li watched the movie without blinking, and then she looked around, and Chong Jin Shaoyan showed a wry smile, maybe she had expected such a result. It's just that I didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so unbearable, and Master Li's smile was both self-deprecating and a little relieved. Anyway, what she wanted to do was done. Jin Shaoyan patted her hand gently.
But at this moment, as the first applause rang out, the entire theater set off a huge wave of applause, and many stars got up and clapped their hands and smiled here. Several famous directors around Master Li rushed to shake hands with her regardless of their identity, and it could be seen that they were really impressed by the talent of the young girl in front of them.
It seems that they didn't applaud at the first time because they were shocked by this movie... I'm still wondering, is it really that good-looking? But since even the audience with such an appreciation level as steamed buns can cry when they watch it. It is estimated that there is indeed a place to move people, at least this very pure literary film can be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar.
At this time, the cast list has been released, and many people are curiously asking: "Why is there no director's name?" "Most people don't know that the starring actor of this movie is also the director, and as soon as the words fell, a row of extremely conspicuous large characters slowly filled the entire screen: Director, Master Li...
People are discussing: Which director is Master Li? Is it a coincidence? Maybe it's a stage name for this movie?
Master Li didn't hear what people were saying at all, she looked at Jin Shaoyan with wide eyes and surprise, Jin Shaoyan looked at her with a smile, and said in her ear, "This is the only gift I can give you." ”
Tears instantly confused Master Li's eyes, if it weren't for the impact, she would definitely have thrown herself into Jin Shaoyan's arms, although the whole movie can't say that it subverts anything, but it completely changed people's simple evaluation of "famous prostitute Li Shishi", Li Shishi became an ordinary and slightly legendary woman to get plump, and finally typed a few words with director Li Shishi, which played a mysterious interpretation role, at least this meaning Li Shishi couldn't be more clear, since Jin Shaoyan said "Li Shishi is a prostitute", The two of them didn't say anything, they already had a mustard in their hearts, and at this moment, Master Li finally completely forgave him.
Jin Shaoyan took Master Li's hand and said loudly: "Miss Wang Yuannan is the director of this film, and her other name is Master Li..."
Once again, exclamations and applause flooded the theater.
After that, "The Legend of Master Li" was officially renamed "Master Li" staged simultaneously across the country, with the true and false touting of the star directors, the box office was red all the way, it is another masterpiece after "Titanic", and it has also become the most popular among girls in 07 The survey shows that watching "Master Li" together has almost become the only standard for judging whether a man and a woman are couples at that time, of course, there is naturally no shortage of examples of a man having to accompany several women to watch once or a woman having to accompany several men to watch once...
There is also a strange thing that this time the film critics did not come to the obstacle, everyone said yes, they actually followed suit, this movie participated in a number of selections later, and gained a lot, it is worth mentioning that no matter what film festival it participates in, the "Best Props and Costume Design" award is not aside, and several historians have also said it in strict terms, and they do not evaluate the shaping of Master Li in the film, but its costume etiquette and set really do not say.
A world-famous film critic commented on "Master Li" with a sentence: The director who filmed it should be an ordinary person with the eyes of God, and she is just telling her previous story.
It is not for nothing that praise Master Li's ingenious filming techniques, and a film critic also said: Find a random person and record his life in a way that does not contain joy and anger for people to understand, this is not a kind of enlightenment, and from this point of view, "Master Li" is a milestone.
Listening to this guy's words, I broke out in a cold sweat, and I thought: If anyone can reproduce my life in this way, then the name of this movie is good, it is called "Xiaoqiang" (does it feel like an old photo?). But what kind of category should they fall into?
I don't want to think so much, buns are waiting for me in the bed... Anyway, this section of the country will definitely not be allowed tonight.
