Chapter 554: Cheongsam
"The book "Love in a Fallen City" is really good, Wang Jing, your vision is also very high." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile and said, "Then choose this book first, and then see if there is anything better?" ”
Wang Jing couldn't help but smile very happily when he was praised, and the others naturally didn't want Wang Jing to specialize in beauty, so they all looked for it with their hearts. Then Zhang Ailing's "White Rose and Red Rose", Yishu's "Golden Years", Li Bihua's "Rouge Buckle", etc., were all selected by these screenwriters.
Although Xu Guanwu only chose "Love in a Fallen City" in the end, he also reminded him to buy the film and television adaptation rights of other books, and then find someone to make them into movies in the future. You must know that Mei Yanfang, Zhang Guorong co-starred in "Rouge Buckle", which is quite a classic movie.
After Lin Qingxia was selected to shoot "Love in a Fallen City", Xu Guanwu asked the screenwriters present while filming the book, "I will send someone to Ms. Zhang Ailing to negotiate the film and television adaptation rights of this book." I don't think it's too much of a problem, so now let's talk about who should adapt the book into a screenplay, and which director should direct it? ”
"Mr. Xu, what I'm good at is action movies, comedy films. Adapting this kind of love drama is really not what I'm good at. Huang Bingyao waved his hand.
Xu Guanwu nodded, in his previous life, he had seen dozens of movies written by Huang Bingyao, and he really didn't find that he had any expertise in depicting the relationship between men and women.
"Mr. Xu, I'm not very proficient in the relationship between men and women, please forgive me for not being able to do anything." Huang Baiming also raised his hand in surrender.
Seeing that Huang Baiming couldn't take on this heavy responsibility, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be disappointed. Indeed, most of the movies written by Huang Baiming are comedies with hip-hop and hip-hop, or big tragedies like "The Story of Ah Lang" and "The Wrong Car". Like literary and artistic love films, I really haven't seen him write about it. And it's probably not good at this subject.
"Mr. Xu. If you can trust me. I'll write this script. Wang Jing stood up at this time and said.
"You?!" Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to say that he was against it. Because in his impression, although Wang Jing is a good screenwriter, the scripts he writes are either crazy and excessive, or too sensational, and they are not as light and tender as in literary and artistic love films.
"I have also had a precedent before the successful adaptation of Mr. Zhang Hatshui's "The Family of Gold Powder" into "Jinghua Spring Dream". Mr. Xu, you believe me. Wang Jing saw Xu Guanwu hesitating, and hurriedly said again.
"Alright then, I'll leave this book to you to adapt. But when you're done, give it to me first. Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "As for the director's matter, let's talk about it next time." ”
……
After the meeting ended, Xu Guanwu invited Liang Shuyi over, "Do you know where Ms. Zhang Ailing is now?" ”
"Zhang Ailing?! Oh, that old woman writer, isn't it? Liang Shuyi was stunned for a moment and then woke up, "I don't know." However, the whereabouts of a celebrity like her should not be difficult to find. How. Do you have something to do with her? ”
"I want to buy the film and television adaptation rights of a few books in her hands, and you can help contact them." Xu Guanwu said.
"Is her book still read?" Liang Shuyi couldn't help but say suspiciously, "Now Hong Kong people like writers like Yishu, Qiong Shao, and Li Bihua. ”
"Don't worry, a writer full of personality like Zhang Ailing will always find a soulmate." Xu Guanwu smiled.
"There is some truth to this, so which film and television adaptations of her novels do you plan to buy?" Liang Shuyi asked with a smile.
"The main thing is this "Love in a Fallen City", of course, if she is willing to sell the film and television adaptation rights of other novels, she will also buy them back." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "Maybe this "Love in a Fallen City" is popular, and it will set off a wave of Zhang Ailing in Hong Kong." ”
"Love in a Fallen City?! I've also read this novel, and the two people Bai Tassel and Fan Liuyuan are really interesting. Liang Shuyi smiled and said, "But I think her "Half Life" is very well written, and if Mr. Xu wants to adapt the movie, it is better to have more depth." ”
"Actually, I'm not very familiar with Zhang Ailing, I've just heard of this strange woman." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "It's Qingxia who wants to come back to filming, so I just helped her find a book to adapt the script." ”
"I see, Miss Lin is really honored to have you as a flower messenger." Liang Shuyi couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Guanwu was also blushed by her smile, "You don't want to cancel me, in fact, I know that I am very sorry for her, and I can't give her an official name." ”
"In fact, if a woman really loves you, it doesn't matter if she has a reputation or not." Liang Shuyi waved her hand, "When I was studying abroad, I saw many couples who lived together for many years without getting married. ”
"Well, in fact, I really want to give Qingxia a name, maybe one day I will become an Islamic citizen." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "The law over there allows men to marry four wives." ”
"Ha Luha, then you have to hurry up and choose the other two." Liang Shuyi couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I have already taken what you said to heart, so don't worry about waiting for my good news." ”
"Well, I'll entrust you with all the things about Ms. Zhang Ailing." Xu Guanwu also nodded.
……
When she returned home from work in the evening, Lin Qingxia hurriedly and diligently served tea and water, looking like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile slightly, "Okay, don't worry, I've already helped you choose the script." ”
"Oh?! What is the script and what is it about? Lin Qingxia was surprised when she heard this.
It is Ms. Zhang Ailing's "Love in a Fallen City". Have you read this book before? Xu Guanwu smiled.
"Who is Zhang Ailing?!" Lin Qingxia blinked her eyes and asked, "You also know that I have dyslexia, so I don't usually read books." ”
"Uh......" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but pause, "Zhang Ailing was a female writer during the Republic of China, who wrote many novels and essays, and was a famous female talent in modern history. ”
"Oh, what kind of story is "Love in a Fallen City" about? Listening to the name, it seems to be a boring literary love movie. Lin Qingxia frowned and said. I've said it a long time ago. I don't want to do this kind of drama anymore. ”
"Don't worry, the story of this book is very different from Ms. Qiong Shao's romance novels." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, and then roughly told Lin Qingxia the story of the book "Love in a Fallen City".
Lin Qingxia couldn't help frowning after hearing this, "Is there something wrong with Bai Tassel and Fan Liuyuan?!" It's not like a normal person can do anything at all. ”
"Hehe," Xu Guanwu suddenly smiled happily, "This story is indeed not for ordinary people, she is written for those young ladies who have nothing to do and moaning without illness." You didn't notice this white tassel and Fan Liuyuan. In fact, is it very similar to Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu? Obviously, both of them are interested in each other, but they still have to try and try, and they make each other bruised. ”
"Do you think this drama is suitable for me to film?" Lin Qingxia looked at Xu Guanwudao suspiciously.
"Well, if you think this drama is not suitable for you, I can also find another script." Xu Guanwu saw that Lin Qingxia didn't want to shoot very much, so he said, "Actually, we also have a lot of choices, such as Yishu's "Golden Years", Li Bihua's "Rouge Buckle", Zhang Ailing's "Half Life", "White Rose and Red Rose". ”
"Then you tell me their stories, and I'll make a choice after I'm done." Lin Qingxia couldn't help but nod when she heard Xu Guanwu say this.
Xu Guanwu then told the stories of "The Golden Years", "Rouge Buckle", "Half Life" and "White Rose and Red Rose" to Lin Qingxia.
Lin Qingxia only sighed after hearing this. "It's the first time I've heard so many stories written by women, and why do I feel so helpless? It's not betrayal and parting. It's life and death, why can't they arrange a good story for the characters in the book? ”
"This may be the delicate mind of female authors, who always feel the unsatisfactory aspects of life. It's like Lin Daiyu lives in the Grand View Garden, drinking so many sisters and sisters together every day, and Jia Baoyu is on the side to coax her to be happy, and there is a maid and a woman serving her intimately, but she still sighs, 'Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind and frost and the sword are strictly pressing'. Xu Guanwu smiled.
"Alas, after listening to so many stories, I think the story of "Rouge Buckle" is the best. It's a pity that I can't play that kind of dust, so I can only cheapen other women for nothing. Lin Qingxia sighed and said, "There are too many characters in the remaining "Half Life", and it is really difficult to adapt it into a movie. And "White Rose and Red Rose" is too dark, "The Golden Years" is quite good, but unfortunately it is no different from the scenes I filmed before. Choose and choose, let's just this "Love in a Fallen City". It's a breakthrough for me, and I'm finally not playing a heartless innocent girl. ”
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile after listening to Lin Qingxia's comments, "If the original author hears you comment on their works like this, I think you will definitely not be allowed to star in their works." But since you've chosen "Love in a Fallen City", I'll go back and bring you the script. By the way, I will also help you prepare clothes for the next two days. ”
"Well, then you can go back and help me buy a copy of "Love in a Fallen City", I want to take a look at the characters in advance." Lin Qingxia also nodded.
Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's good, but I don't know if you look good in a cheongsam?" ”
"What, do I have to wear a cheongsam in this play?" Lin Qingxia couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this.
"Yes, Bai Tassel is from the old era of the Demon Capital, and the women at that time were all wearing cheongsam." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "And don't you think that women wearing cheongsams can show their figures better?" And the cheongsam is tight at the top and down open, subtle and exposed, especially when walking, the two long legs are looming, how tempting it should be. ”
"Phew! Cesium wolf! When Lin Qingxia heard Xu Guanwu say this, she couldn't help poking his head in disgust and said, "I think about these unclean things in my head." ”
"This is a great injustice." Xu Guanwu called Tianqu and said, "I'm just looking at the problem from an aesthetic point of view, you really think too badly." ”
"It's not that I think badly, it's that you're a bad person in the first place." Lin Qingxia glanced at him and said, "Can I not wear a cheongsam, can I only wear a skirt or trousers?" ”
"Why are you too thick to see people?" Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously, his eyes glanced at Lu, "No, it's quite thin and long." ”
"But will it be too revealing in a cheongsam, and the thighs seem to be seen." Lin Qingxia said shyly, "I think a skirt or trousers are more suitable for me." ”
"No, the cheongsam won't look too revealing, you can rest assured." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Besides, the cheongsam was originally a fixed attire at that time, how can you look professional if you don't wear it?" And the cheongsam is also one of the most suitable clothing for oriental women, you are so beautiful and temperamental, and your figure is so good, wearing a cheongsam is guaranteed to fascinate a vote of people. ”
"I'm going to die, saying such things in front of my daughter, and saying so loudly. How embarrassed it is for the baby to listen. Lin Qingxia was praised by Xu Guanwu, and said with shame on her face.
"Sichen is only so old and knows what, besides, our daughter should also wear a cheongsam in the future, and then charm a large number of little boys." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "When the time comes, all the wealthy families in Hong Kong will come to ask our family, and our Sichen will be the little daughter-in-law that everyone wants to marry home."
