Chapter 13: Bravery

No. 233, Shichahai Stone Tablet Hutong, the imperial capital

Yanqing Courtyard House

There is an inverted seat room on the innermost side

"Brother Qing'er, just now the two of us didn't find the last two movies in digital format over there in the film pulling room, I found the film reels."

Miao Miao held the list splint in one hand, and a signature pen in the other, pointing to a place on the third floor of the plastic tray warehouse number, a film tray shelf, and a place on the second floor of the C film tray shelf.

Under her command, Yan Qing moved the two heavy film reels out of the shelf, and Miao Miao carefully registered the information on the "Yan Qing Studio Film Reels Received the Registration Ledger" on the list book:

"Pick up time: Monday, August 12, 2019 at 10:13 a.m. Imperial Capital Time."

"The purpose of the collection: it has not been lent to others, but only used in the internal screening room of Yanqing Studio, and the film is studied."

"Pick up the items: the mobile trolley of the film library, "The Impulse to Go Home", "The Green Age".

"Leader: Yan Qing."

"Return time: TBD."

"Registrar: Miao Miao."

Yan Qing watched Miao Miao with interest on the side, recording the ledger one by one.

After Miao Miao finished recording the ledger, she crisply stuffed the signature pen into the pen holder sleeve fixed on the splint of the list book, turned around and stood on tiptoe slightly, and raised her hand to hang the splint back in place.

Miao Miao closed a pair of slender and small palms and gently rubbed each other, she raised her beautiful face and looked at Yan Qing with a hint of praise.

Yan Qing replied very cooperatively with a deliberately vague imperial capital accent: "Sister Meow, you are too good." Yo, but you're here today, or we're really blind. ”

Miao Miao saw Yan Qing's pompous performance, laughed a little tremblingly, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and the two little tiger teeth in her mouth were naughtily exposed, and she immediately replied with a mouthful of Beijing films: "Thank you, you can feed it." ”

After a while, Miao Miao, who was smiling happily, commanded Yan Qing to go to the depths of the film library, and launched a small trolley with two film protective sleeves from the four special film tray trolleys numbered by sky/earth/xuan/yellow and arranged in an orderly manner. The two of them carried the two film reels to the cart and continued to laugh and return to the studio.

On the way, Miao Miao tried to mention it to Yan Qing with a serious look, and reported to him the itinerary for receiving visitors at breakfast. Today, Shao Qing of Dingxin Elite Culture Agency will take Weng Huaijing to visit Yanqing Studio at four o'clock in the afternoon, and order a table of Danfu family dishes for dinner, and the chef and service team will be sent to the courtyard restaurant in advance at about three o'clock in Danfu.

Listening to Miao Miao's tone, this is also a long-term partner of the studio, although Yan Qing's mobile phone does not store the number of this family, it seems that it is specially used to entertain guests.

And because of the relationship between visitors, Miao Miao also called the cooperative Hairun cleaning company to send someone to do the cleaning work in advance at one o'clock in the afternoon to ensure that it can be completed before half past three in the afternoon.

After the two returned to the pull-tab room, they set up the small cart, and after trying to fix the wheels, Miao Miao turned out, and then came in with the pull-tab information list she had prepared and the sparkling mineral water that Yan Qing loved to drink, and prepared it on the small table opened by the pull-tab sofa chair, so that he could rest assured that he could pull the pieces and study and take notes in the pull-tab room.

At noon, he will be sent food, Shao Qing will come to call him when he arrives, and the intimate Miao Miao will arrange all the logistics preparations for Yan Qing.

Yan Qing plans to pull the "Brave" with Yi Yi today, and if he has spare energy, he will consider choosing one of the two film disc movies to watch first.

It was really Miao Miao who helped Yan Qing a lot, and after breakfast, she printed out a list of books, and it only took less than an hour to give Yan Qing all the sources of the film to life.

Of the seventeen works in the inventory, fifteen of them were stored on mobile hard drives and two film reels that had been quietly placed next to the projection equipment in the pull-up room.

Miao Miao's list is also very detailed, and each film adds some notes in the remarks column in the list.

For example:

Hugo and the Little Blacksmith

Yan Qing's debut work

In February 2006, Yan Qing was favored by director Lin Shufu, who was invited to return to his alma mater as a guest examiner at that time, because of his first professional re-examination score, and then Lin Shufu invited Yan Qing to play the leading role in his new film "Hugo and the Little Blacksmith".

The film was completed in July 2006 and was nominated for "Best Foreign Language Film" and "Best Actor in a Drama Film" at the 64th Golden Globe Film and Television Awards held in January 2007. The little blacksmith played by Yan Qing in the film, but his newcomer debut has amazed many well-known Chinese and foreign film critics.

Jack Ebert, a well-known film critic in the United States, gave the movie "Hugo and the Little Blacksmith" a perfect score of 4 in his column for the Chicago Sun, and he even praised it with Roger's trademark thumbs-up:

"There's no doubt that Yan's The Little Blacksmith is the best actor of all the movies I've watched this year."

Yan Qing sorted out the types of movies in the inventory:

17 films, 11 of which have been publicly screened in commercial theaters in China;

Two biographical and three event documentary films have been publicly screened in Europe and Chinese art theaters;

There is also a movie that was completed in early 2013 and is titled "Earth Evil-Blue Sea Tide Sound Map" that has not been released publicly.

The remarks made on the unreleased "Earth Shatter - Blue Sea Tide Sound Map" in the list are simply interesting, like a wonderful short story, faithfully recording Yan Qing's own evaluation of this film at that time:

"If "Earth Shatter - Blue Sea Tide Sound Map" is finally pushed to the public, then this must be the most sensational miracle in the history of Chinese films, and in my opinion, it will definitely achieve the unprecedented and unprecedented zero praise grand slam achievement in the minds of all audiences.

As we all know, no matter how bad the movie is, there is always a place where people can find an angle to praise.

But this film is different, it will definitely climb the pillar of shame in history with its own strength, it turns out that there are really films that can make everyone give bad reviews.

As the actor of the movie, I asked myself if I had done what I could, but because of the ridiculous and outrageous character design of the film, the unreasonable narrative structure of the script, the illogical editing, and the abrupt large number of product placements, everything was messed up.

Personally, I plan to speak out publicly through two channels: the Chinese Actors Association and the Imperial Capital People's Art Troupe:

I, Yan Qinghui, will file an arbitration application with the National Film Association of China on the basis of Item 7 of the additional clause of the force majeure treaty in the performance contract.

-- Under the specific condition that there is evidence to prove that the final film effect tarnishes the credibility of the actor's industry, the participant may apply to the National Film Association of China for termination and arbitration......

- After the arbitration is successful, the film producer and distributor may be required to delete all information about the actor in all promotional materials, trailer contents, actors' positions, public screening contents, and all other activities that may appear in the future......"

The content of the evaluation is still very long, and it describes in detail what was called the most sensational arbitration public hearing in the history of the Chinese film industry, like an epic tug-of-war.

The hearings lasted three rounds and nine months, and it dragged on until after the 2014 Chinese New Year.

The impartial and impartial arbitration committee of the National Film Association of China, with 12 white-haired and moral and artistic members, was finally persuaded by Yan Qing, who was only 25 years old at the time, to block the film from the public screening in the name of the National Film Association of China.

Just looking at these words, Yan Qing can make up how difficult Yan Qing's road of resistance was at that time, as tragic as Don Quixote who rushed to the windmill single-handedly.

Yan Qing wiped his slightly moist eyes and turned his gaze to the last paragraph of the comment, but the simple words made a deafening cry with a force that seemed to be able to penetrate the back of the paper.
