Chapter 16: Desperate Memes
Yan Qingda's idea for Miao Miao's computer on the second floor of the studio has been a whole day and two nights, and he really has too many questions in his heart that he wants to solve through the Internet.
He even remembered a few naughty male classmates in the dormitory when he was in boarding high school, who were addicted to the Internet, and tied the quilts of everyone in the dormitory in the middle of the night, and hung them out of the school one by one from the windows on the third floor to go to the Internet cafΓ© outside to stay overnight.
Yan Qing felt that he was also about to become ill with Internet addiction, and he kept waiting for Miao Miao to have a plan to go out or something.
As a result, Shao Qing visited her home on Monday, and Miao Miao stayed in the general manager's office all morning after breakfast on Tuesday, busy making phone calls and sending emails, and she had no intention of going out.
She even grabbed Yan Qing to come over to be a strong man, and asked Yan Qing to write the lyrics and music of "Liqiu" on her luxurious desk on the blank sheet music book prepared by Miao Miao, according to Miao Miao, she wanted to scan it and submit it to the Huaguo Music Works Copyright Library Network for copyright registration.
After completing the work arranged by General Manager Miao in two or three strokes, I watched Miao Miao take over the score, skillfully operating the computer and scanner to complete the upload and registration work.
Yan Qing, who is addicted to the Internet but carefully maintains his old character of not liking to use technology products, is very uncomfortable, so he can only go out and turn around a few rooms on the second floor of the studio to completely figure out the layout of the studio.
On the second floor, in addition to the pantry, the toilet, and Miao Miao's general manager's office, there are a total of five rooms in the area separated by the glass curtain wall, and three of them are empty, which should be renovated at that time and waiting for the studio to expand and recruit people.
One is a practice room with mirrored walls and wooden floors, and in the corner there is a treadmill, an upright piano covered with an anti-static cloth cover, and a Pearl River-SU7.
The last room, arranged like Yan Qing's study, is full of two bookshelves, one of the bookshelves are some professional books of performance, and the other is more miscellaneous.
Leaning against the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a reading area, a small black ebony desk, two fabric single sofas, and a book with a pen and bookmarks spread out on the table.
Yan Qing picked up the book and looked at the cover:
Toward A Poor Theatre β Jerzy Grotowski (Poland).
Bookmarks and pen clips in Chapter 11, Chapter Title: The Actor's Technique.
Yan Qing flipped through the front and back, and the blank area of the original book printing was full of reading experience in small characters of different colors.
Yan Qing knew that there was also this book and this author in his previous life, which was a relatively unpopular acting genre in his previous life.
He even has a good relationship with an actor friend in the circle, and his masterpiece is known as a domestic violence maniac, a psychopathic doctor, and An Jiahe.
In his previous life, he was the only descendant of Grotowski's acting genre in China.
Combined with the experience of repeatedly pulling the film in the key shots of the movie "Brave", as well as his handy scheduling of body muscle groups in the past few days, Yan Qing has long had a vague guess in his heart.
His own acting skills are fundamentally the same as the "Grotowski School of Performance" that his friend Feng Yuanzhi once told him.
"The Grotowski school emphasizes the ability of the actor to control the body, and stimulates the actor's potential through extensive use of physical technical training, such as rolling and jumping, and the flexible use of voice......
The Grotowski school believes that physical shaping, rhythm, spatial sense, and other abilities are essential conditions for an actor, and that a good actor can show real actions, trigger the deepest emotions of the audience, and achieve a sense of divine presence in the moment. β
This book full of reading experience has made Yan Qingru a treasure, full of dry drama theory knowledge, a unique set of physical exercise methods, and his own set of repeated pull piece learning plan, which can allow him to master this performance skill faster.
Without saying a word, Yan Qing put down his Internet addiction, returned to the film pulling room and began to pull one of the two film disc movies called "The Impulse to Go Home".
The remarks on the film on the pull sheet information prepared by Miao Miao are very simple:
ββCompleted in September 2012 and released in April 2013. Huaguo ranked third in the 2013 annual box office list, and Hong Xiuxian, who played the leading role in Yan Qing, was nominated for Best Actor at the 2014 Huaguo Film Association's highest Golden Dragon Award.
Yan Qing's original plan was to watch the movie in its entirety first, just like "Brave", and write down the timing of key scenes while watching.
As a result, the movie had just been played for about ten minutes, and Yan Qing looked at the scene on the screen:
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The male protagonist played by himself, the rich second-generation Hong Xiuxian, secretly brought his old lover home without telling his newlywed wife.
At this time, he returned to the master bedroom after taking a shower and wiping his hair in plaid pajamas, and saw his old lover wearing his wife's pajamas, sitting on the dresser and using his wife's skin care products.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Smack!"
The pen that Yan Qing was holding in his hand fell to the ground.
As the plot unfolded further, Yan Qing's expression gradually distorted.
As soon as the ending song sounded, Yan Qing hurriedly picked up another film disc of "Green Times", loaded it on the film projector and started the projection.
The remarks for this film are simpler:
- Completed in November 2011 and released in February of the following year; shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 62nd Berlin Film Festival; Winner of the Grand Jury Prize, the Silver Bear.
An hour and a half later, after the movie ended, the screen was finally frozen on a wooden dining table, with a bowl of egg fried rice sprinkled with green onions in the center.
Yan Qing's face was desperate, he figured it all out.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Yu Zhiwei on the stage of the Star Silk Road program caused laughter, and he figured out the stalk about "emojis".
The other films were stored in digital format in the pull-out room, and he figured out why these two films only had film reels.
It turned out that Yan Qing refused to use social software, and he figured it out.
He probably figured out the reason for his resistance to high-tech electronics.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The heart is cold, trembling, uncomfortable, painful, hopeless... Can the world still be better? I'm going to be shut up too. β
Yan Qing muttered in his mouth and sat on the movie sofa in a daze.
There was no need for him to manually operate the projector and pull the film back and forth.
The highlights of the two films automatically played back and forth in his mind:
βββ "The Impulse to Go Home"βββ
Hong Xiuxian returned to the master bedroom after taking a shower and wearing plaid pajamas and wiping her hair, watching her old lover Li Aili wearing her wife Yan Pinru's silk pajamas, sitting on the dresser and wiping her face in the mirror with Pinru's skin care products, and hurriedly walked over to Li Aili, and said:
"Ellie, why do you put on Pinru's clothes, and still use people's things?"
Li Aili eyebrows and eyes were charming, stood up and replied to Hong Xiuxian with a raised face:
"If you're looking for excitement, follow through."
Hearing this, the expression on Hong Xiuxian's face changed from bewildered and curious to shocked that all three views were destroyed, and then a three-point obscene evil smile appeared on his face, and at the same time he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said "You are so sassy", and stepped forward to hug Li Aili and kiss her fiercely.
βββββ "The Green Years"ββββββ
Yan Qing plays Wang Jingzhe, a 16-year-old rebellious high school student who believes that "fists are the only way to solve problems", because of various coincidences from a bustling big city to a small mountain village on the southwest border of China to experience life.
Because his values are incompatible with the simple mountain village residents in the deep mountains, he is impulsive and short-tempered, like a bundle of firewood soaked in gasoline, looking at everything in the mountain village is not pleasing to the eye, and after a dispute with the old woman of the mountain people who is responsible for taking care of his food and housing, he left a cruel sentence:
"I, Wang Jingzhe, am starving to death, dying outside, jumping down from here, and I won't eat anything from you."
Then he began to mess around in the mountain village.
At the end of the movie, facing a pot of egg fried rice fried by his mother-in-law on a small stove for him, Wang Jingzhe, who was really hungry, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate three bowls of egg fried rice sprinkled with green onions, and said in a vague tone while swallowing:
"Oh Mom, it's so fragrant!"
ββββββββββββββββββ
It wasn't until Miao Miao ran in and beckoned him to have lunch that he came back to his senses from the crazy state of pulling tablets in the skull.
Because Miao Miao is very busy today, the two meals at noon and night are set outside, and Yan Qing, who knows that he has become an emoji of "Iron Bone Zheng Zheng Wang Jingzhe" and "You are so sassy", has no taste for eating two meals like chewing wax.
I don't know if it's because Yan Qing was very familiar with these two clips in his previous life, or because of the theoretical blessing brought by the book "Towards a Rustic Drama", which is full of experience footnotes.
Originally, Yan Qing had the idea of pulling the piece while reading a book, but he unexpectedly found that the progress of the piece was very fast.
Yan Qing vaguely had the feeling that his acting skills were transparent, anyway, it had become an emoji, Yan Qing simply broke the jar and broke it again, and once again entered the mechanical state of focusing on pulling the piece.
Miao Miao was busy in her general manager's office until almost ten o'clock in the evening before she went downstairs to wake Yan Qing up from her crazy state.
On the stone road where the two of them came out of the small building of the studio together to go back to rest, Miao Miao told him that the two were going out tomorrow.
Miao Miao stretched out her hand and pulled it, stopped and waited for her to continue to talk Yan Qing signaled to continue walking, Miao Miao took Yan Qing to walk slowly in the yard, and talked to Yan Qing about her work today in a soft and glutinous voice.
It turned out that the preparatory team of Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing's sub-column in the Star Silk Road had preliminarily selected the recording venue of the show in the imperial capital, and made an appointment to go to the tentative on-site review at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
At that time, Luo Bing, the program director of the whispering video side, Li Yannian, the chief director of the Star Silk Road program of Pearl Satellite TV, Liu Mingren, the head of the sub-program preparation team, and Weng Huaijing's team will all be present.
Miao Miao has been busy in the office all day today, and a large part of her time has been spent participating in remote video conferences.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In just two days, the preparatory team found seven suitable venues, all of which were independent and secretive, and met the requirements of program recording.
The preparatory team has done a good job of on-the-spot shooting of the selected place in several ways, and has preliminarily negotiated with the owner about the lease intention.
After getting the lease quotation given by the owner and the fastest construction time for the renovation and renovation, Liu Mingren, the leader of the preparatory team, submitted an evaluation PPT with detailed data of each candidate site to all parties.
Decision-makers from several parties to the remote meeting reviewed each of the seven candidate venues.
Popularity is the amount of on-demand, and the amount of on-demand is real money.
In order to grasp the continuous popularity of the whispering platform, everyone has reached a consensus silently, and the review has implemented a principle - the first choice is to enter the site quickly and renovate the place with a small amount of work.
The final target to be selected is a two-story house somewhere in the Jacquard Lattice Hutong of Xizhimen, the imperial capital.
This single-family house was previously the operation headquarters of a traditional paper media in the imperial capital, and it was difficult to operate the magazine because of the impact of various new media.
At the end of last month, the print media called "Emperor Unreliable Youth" officially ceased operation and entered bankruptcy proceedings.
Now the house is empty, the lease contract can be signed at any time, the preliminary assessment of the quantity that needs to be renovated is not large, the house is surrounded by high enough walls, and there is even a parking space in the yard that can park five or six cars.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Miao Miao also compared with Yan Qing to describe in detail the appearance of the house in the photo she saw, and finally commented seriously:
"It's very good, it's about half the size of our Yan family's compound."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The preparatory team also submitted some alternative sub-column names, which were not finally determined at the evaluation meeting, and everyone made an appointment to consult Yan Qing and Weng Huaijing on the spot tomorrow, and then brainstormed to discuss the naming matter.
In addition to the selection and naming of the site, the meeting also confirmed that there will be a photography team to follow the whole process tomorrow, if there is time and enough material to cut out good content.
The second episode of the first season of "Star Silk Road", which continues to be broadcast live this Saturday, will be broadcast to warm up the upcoming sub-columns.
Because Yan Qing will inevitably appear on the camera tomorrow, Miao Miao reported the injury masking plan agreed between her and the Pearl Satellite TV medical team:
Wrap it twice in a gauze cloth and match it with the kind of pullover beanie hat worn in the video of Yan Qingqing's Qingyu case that day.
While holding a remote video conference, Miao Miao also negotiated a cooperation intention with singer Wang Yunxi's team by phone and email on the cover copyright authorization of Yan Qing's song "Liqiu".
Because she had determined Wang Yunxi's strong intention to buy, Miao Miao, who had done enough homework, asked for the industry's highest share of songwriters and arrangers from Chutian Records, to which Wang Yunxi belonged.
Chu Tian basically had no power to resist under Miao Miao's lion mouth, and won the exclusive authorization of the cover copyright of the physical version of the record of "Liqiu" with 1 million Chinese dollars before tax, and the digital version of the single was divided into 12% according to the total sales revenue of each quarter after the launch (5% for the lyricist, 5% for the composer, and 2% for the arranger).
After paying the price of real money, Chutian Records also naturally demanded that Yan Qing's studio must submit the rearranged female version of "Liqiu" demo to Chutian before getting off work this Friday at the latest, so Miao Miao also made an appointment for the recording studio schedule of an independent recording studio that Yan Qing had cooperated with in the previous 16 years when he was producing excerpts from the musical "If".
Miao Miao took the initiative to ask Ying to take the role of the singer who recorded the sample for Yan Qing, she pulled Yan Qing to stand in the inner courtyard, and babbled and sang a short piece of "Liqiu" to him.
Compared with making movies and doing variety shows, Yan Qing is much more relaxed in the face of music production, which is his previous life.
After all, it was just a sample recording, and Yan Qing responded to Miao Miao very simply.
Finally finished reporting his work throughout the day, Yan Qing keenly observed that Mr. Miao skillfully put on a look of praise again, and hurriedly sent sincere words of praise.
Yan Qing looked at Miao Miao, who had received the praise, with a delicate and lovely appearance, and thought to himself:
"This seems to be the daily standard work process of Yan Qing Studio, which is not bad, it is really fragrant."
So I had a good night's sleep and didn't go into detail.
