Chapter 15: Half a Foot in It
"Didn't you say take me to the movies? How did you get here? Li Xuan sat on the steps and asked Wang Jin next to him in a dumb voice. At noon today, he followed Xu Yu to practice the so-called solfeggio ear training for a day, and as a result, his voice was hoarse at noon. As soon as he finished class, he saw Wang Jin standing outside the door, and before he could speak, Wang Jin was pulled to the Shaw Brothers' Clear Water Bay studio.
As a result, in order to show off, Wang Jin dragged Li Xuan to the front of Wang Tianlin's camera, which made the old man angry and sent them out directly.
Wang Jin, who was also sitting on the steps and still holding a piece of paper to write and draw, replied without raising his head: "Isn't it? ”
Li Xuan looked ahead, two men in ancient costumes were playing around in an ancient building, surrounded by seven or eight people in modern clothes, lighting and photography.
"But this is a TV series?"
"Almost, almost. Besides, I haven't made a movie here, just like the movie version of "Xiao Shiyi Lang" made by Uncle Yuan released this month, which was not filmed here. ”
The movie version of "Xiao Shiyi Lang"? I haven't seen it, but Li Xuan is more interested in that Uncle Yuan, and hurriedly asked, "Who is Uncle Yuan?" ”
"Director Chu Yuanda, you know now."
"Well, I don't know ......" Li Xuan said hesitantly, he knew that several directors were basically those in the 80s, and he really didn't know a few directors before the 80s, so he knew a Wang Tianlin, and there seemed to be a very powerful Zhang Ce.
"Hit the street, I don't know if you still want to mix in the movie industry!" Wang Jin scolded in a very ironclad tone.
At this time, Li Xuan was not convinced, and replied loudly: "Who said that I don't know ......"
"You two bunnies!" There was a loud shout from the ancient building, and as soon as Li Xuan and Wang Jinxia's necks shrank, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and gray trousers with a comb of three or seven hairs walking out of the ancient building.
"Dad...... Wang Jin quickly stood up and shouted in a low voice, and Li Xuan was also beside him: "Uncle Wang! ”
The middle-aged man was probably really angry, pointed to the door of the studio and said, "You two go out for me now, and then get out!" After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and entered the ancient house.
Looking at Wang Tianlin's domineering back, Li Xuan whispered: "Your father is really fierce!" ”
"Fierce? You don't go out yet! Wang Jin replied disdainfully, turned around and walked out.
Standing outside this huge studio with white walls and green windows, Li Xuan turned his head to look at the surrounding situation. There are also three identical small studios around, plus two formal administrative and post-processing buildings, which look really small. And there are few locations, Li Xuan saw a dilapidated small village, and he couldn't see the appearance of an ancient city at all, no wonder he had to set up a scene in a studio to shoot a costume drama.
"Hey!" Li Xuan sighed helplessly: "No wonder Shaw Brothers' movies are getting worse and worse, the props, costumes, venues, studios, and studios are another movie, and even your father has changed his career to specialize in TV series." ”
Hearing someone say that he was his father, Wang Jin was not happy, turned his head to Li Xuan and said, "Don't say that, my father still makes movies." ”
"Oh? When was your dad's last movie? ”
"Eh" Wang Jin's face suddenly darkened, and he said dejectedly: "I ...... four years ago"
Li Xuan also knew that this was a bit shocking, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "By the way, what are we doing now?" Really fuck off? ”
The passer-by, Wang Jin, didn't have the consciousness to get out, sat down on the steps at the door of the studio again, took out the paper that had just been put into his trouser pocket and said: "Wait for my dad and they will call it a day, let's take a ride back from the tower, I don't want to crowd the bus." ”
"Oh" Li Xuan also sat down with him, looking at Wang Jin on the paper as if he was drawing a villain, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you doing?" ”
Wang Jin looked at the paper in his hand and then at Li Xuancai and said, "Draw a storyboard script......"
"This one!" Li Xuan suddenly said excitedly: "I know this, I use it for filming movies and television, but it's so strange, why didn't your father use this?" ”
This time it was Wang Jin's turn to smile and explain directly to Li Xuan. It turns out that this wireless TV series has always been fast, and it is basically broadcast while filming. At such a fast speed, how can there be a rush to draw a storyboard script. But fortunately, the current TV is still a small screen, and it's okay if you don't paint, as long as the director has a certain skill, the audience can't see anything wrong with the picture, and Wang Tianlin is obviously the part of the skill.
TV doesn't need to be painted, but Wang Jin is painting now, doesn't that mean? Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Wang Jin, "Are you painting a movie?" What is your name? ”
"Xiao Shiyi Lang"
"Eh" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment: "Why did you just shoot it?" ”
"I'm just practicing drawing." Wang Jin looked at Li Xuan with disdain: "Do you think I can really make a movie!" ”
was despised again, and Li Xuan couldn't wait to strangle the fat man in front of him. Looking at Wang Jin's storyboard script that he had drawn for a long time, Li Xuan suddenly remembered the two people who had just been calling around in the studio, and couldn't help asking: "The actor just now looks so familiar, what's it called?" ”
"Xie Xian, where did you grow up? Chu Yuan didn't know him, and neither did Xie Xian. "Now Wang Jin feels wrong, Xie Xian has been appearing on TV for more than 20 years, and Li Xuan doesn't know anything.
Khan, how can you say that the actor is so familiar! It turned out to be the fourth brother who was eating tender grass later, Li Xuan looked at Wang Jin's strange eyes and hurriedly replied: "Who said I don't know Xie Xian, I just didn't remember it for a while, I also know that he has a son named Xie Tingfeng!" ”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuan found that Wang Jin's face was even more strange, and his eyes narrowed when he looked at Li Xuan.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I panicked. Li Xuan, who was uncomfortable, asked.
Half-ringing, Wang Jincai said slowly: "I found that you are quite good at naming, Xie Tingfeng?" It's a good name, but he doesn't have a wife now, where are the children? ”
Yes? Li Xuan was dumbfounded, swallowed his saliva, this Xie Xian looks like he is about forty years old, why is he not married yet? At this time, Li Xuan had to say: "I didn't grow up in Hong Kong, and I only swam over there half a year ago." As he spoke, Li Xuan pointed to the north.
"Wow!" Wang Jin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he chased after Li Xuan and asked, "I haven't been there yet?" What's going on over there? ”
The ghost knows what it looks like at this time, Li Xuan has not been born at this time before the crossing, but how do you have to answer him? Li Xuan scratched the back of his head before he said, "What else can you look like, just ......"
"Fourth, you are in such a hurry to leave, and you asked Bora to have dinner again?" Wang Tianlin's voice suddenly came from the studio, and Wang Jin and Li Xuan hurriedly stood up. Now Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally survived.
"Brother Tianlin, don't laugh at me."
"Haha, okay, don't bother you with the date."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Tianlin and Xie Xian appeared at the door. Seeing Wang Jin and Li Xuan standing at the door, Wang Tianlin's face darkened suddenly, Xie Xian next to him obviously felt that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said goodbye to Wang Tianlin, and nodded to Wang Jin and Li Xuan and left.
"You two, you gave me trouble today! Wait here, I'll have something to say to you later! Wang Tianlin, who was huffing, said a word and turned around and entered the studio.
"Huh......" The two of them relaxed suddenly, and they didn't get angry in front of them, so it didn't seem that the matter was very serious.
"Oops, I almost forgot!" Wang Jin suddenly said beside him.
"What?" Li Xuan asked vigilantly, does this guy still want to ask about the other side?
Wang Jin didn't answer, fumbled and took out two movie tickets from his trouser pocket and handed them to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan took the movie ticket with a strange look and looked at it, it was "Boxing Essence" at nine o'clock tonight.
This is the first kung fu comedy film made by Chenglong very early, and it has not been released. As a result, Chenglong's "Drunken Fist" and "Serpentine Trickster" were great successes this year, making the film company make a lot of money, and this film was turned out again.
However, although Li Xuan liked to watch these so-called kung fu comedies very much when he was a child, Li Xuan remembered clearly that in the end, the protagonist and the villain basically couldn't tell the winner without fighting for half an hour, so the more he watched it, the more he hated it. And, two movie tickets? It's weird.
Raising the movie ticket in his hand, Li Xuan asked directly: "Two?" I don't have a girlfriend, what do I want two for? ”
Wang Jin, who had been silent for a long time, replied: "Who said that the two are yours, one is yours and the other is mine." ”
Well, Li Xuan was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, a bad chill came to my heart, what happened to two big men watching a movie in a dark movie theater?
"That, that ......" Li Xuan's face was deformed, and he said cautiously: "Then I still don't watch movies, you still, you better find someone else." As he spoke, he stretched out his trembling right hand and handed over the movie ticket again.
Wang Jin didn't answer, but said disdainfully: "Where do you want to go, I don't plan to go to the movies with you." You come to my house tonight with your ticket and say find me to study a movie, and then I'll take you to a fun place. ”
Li Xuan only knew that he had misunderstood, but why was it a place where he didn't say it directly? After hesitating for a moment, Li Xuan still put away the movie ticket, but still asked strangely: "Why do I still have to take the movie ticket to you?" ”
"I told my dad that you are a promising young man who loves movies." Wang Jin said proudly: "And I, as a newlywed husband, will I go out with my friends in the middle of the night to fool around?" For the sake of art, of course! ”
I'll strangle it, Li Xuan almost scolded a scum! But thinking about the salty and wet films that Wang Jin made in the future, Li Xuan felt in his heart that Wang Jin was now a scum.
Pressing his somewhat painful forehead, Li Xuan asked weakly, "Then can you tell me what I want to ...... tonight?"
"Ah, Dad, Xuan Tsai said he wanted to learn how to make movies!" Wang Jin suddenly kicked Li Xuan and said loudly.
Li Xuan, who was stunned for a moment, immediately reacted, and quickly turned his head to look at Wang Tianlin, who had just come out, and smirked: "Hehe, Uncle Wang." ”
Wang Tianlin glanced at the two of them angrily and said, "If there is anything, wait until you get in the car." ”
