Chapter 14: The Dilemma of the Guan Family
Because he was busy filming, Guan Shan was not at home, and there were only Zhang Bingqian and two children at home.
Zhang Qiusheng explained his intentions, and after putting down the gift, Zhang Bingqian just asked him politely.
Hearing Zhang Qiusheng say that he is now working in a tea restaurant, Zhang Bingqian was slightly disappointed, but then she figured it out, Zhang Qiusheng is only 16 years old, can he still be the boss if he doesn't work at this age?
Since Zhang Qiusheng has come over, it is natural that lunch will be eaten at home.
As a result, before Zhang Bingqian could leave a meal, Guan Shihua here pulled Zhang Qiusheng's clothes and shouted that his eldest brother would make a delicious dish, which he hadn't eaten for a long time.
Zhang Qiusheng smiled unconsciously, rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to work.
Guan Zhilin ignored Mommy's eyes, ran over and asked Aunt Pan to go away, standing at the door of the kitchen, watching Zhang Qiusheng pack up the meat and vegetables, and chatting with him.
"Brother Sheng, where do you live? Tell me I'll be coming to see you on the weekend! β
"Brother Sheng, I seem to have heard of Xingji Tea Restaurant, one day I will go to you, you invite me to drink milk tea and eat pineapple buns!"
"Brother Sheng, I saw the dress you bought for me, it's so beautiful, how do you know I like this red with pleats? My mommy doesn't even know! β
"Brother Sheng, when you have time, you can teach me a few more tunes, I like the tunes you wrote...... You're going to write music specifically for Jiahui, right? β
ββ¦β¦β
Guan Zhilin definitely had something to say to Zhang Qiusheng, Yin Jun cleaned up and cooked for two hours, and she talked there for two hours, without moving a single step.
Zhang Bingqian looked at her daughter like this, although she was extremely angry, but it was not good to tear her face in front of Zhang Qiusheng, after all, the child had already moved out, and with the frequency of not being able to visit once a month, Guan Zhilin would soon be attracted by new things, and gradually forgot about Zhang Qiusheng.
Of course, if she had heard what her baby daughter was talking to Zhang Qiusheng, she would have pulled Guan Zhilin away a long time ago.
At noon, Guan Yi still rushed back for lunch, but his face was very unsightly, and when he greeted Zhang Qiusheng, he looked a little absent-minded during the meal.
Zhang Bingqian didn't have time to take care of her daughter at this time, and after dinner, she watched Guan Yi enter the study, and she hurriedly followed.
Guan Shihua naturally didn't know anything, and shouted that Aunt Zhang took him out to play.
Guan Zhilin took Zhang Qiusheng's hand, sat down on the sofa, and whispered: "Brother Sheng, it seems that my father is in trouble!" β
"Isn't he working well?" Zhang Qiusheng asked.
"Well, I heard him tell Mommy that the film company is very difficult, it has lost a lot before, and now it is rare for someone to be willing to invest, but they can't find a good movie script."
Guan Zhilin frowned lightly and said, "I heard that the investor is very impatient, if the film is not filmed within three months, he will ask to withdraw the capital and return the money to him." Since that farewell party, Yuyu's father introduced investors to Daddy, and now it's almost a month past, and Daddy is so anxious that his hair has turned a lot gray. β
Xiangjiang people have always been impatient in doing things.
Even in the film and television industry, it is always impetuous.
Needless to say, TV is set up in three days, and there are not too many dramas in wireless, and there are actually a lot of bad movies in wireless.
It's just that their opponents were worse at that time, so wireless became the first in Xiangjiang.
This is the same as the ancient struggle for the country of H, the two opponents are just competing to see who is less bad than the other, the worst one collapses, and the worse one wins, it's as simple as that.
Let's go back to the Xiangjiang movie that takes impetuousness to the extreme.
TV is a little better, it is equivalent to a sitcom, the requirements are not so strict, but the movie is different, all the plots are condensed into those 90 minutes or so, which requires great skills to shoot well!
But...... How many days do you think it usually takes to make a movie?
According to the general idea, at least three months, right? Coupled with the preliminary preparation and post-production, it will take at least half a year before it can be released, right?
When encountering Hollywood blockbusters, needless to say, the shooting takes a lot of post-production special effects to take a year and a half, which is called a careful and cautious.
However, this is not the case at all in Xiangjiang.
If a film is more than three months in production, it is considered a super big production, or it takes so long for those art film directors to keep improving.
Usually, the production of Xiangjiang movies can be completed in a month, and it can be done in a short period of ten days.
What kind of classic films can be produced under such circumstances?
If you do it well, you will also laugh and take a look, but you will soon forget.
If it is done poorly, it will make people not even interested in watching it, and it will disappear directly at the box office.
That is, those comedies that do not require scenes and details can rely on the genius of talented actors to win a part of the loyal audience, and watch it repeatedly, which is also an important reason why the box office of Xingye will be so good in the future, and finally become a generation of grandmasters.
But this is also partly due to the impetuousness of film and television companies, which are forced by film companies and investors.
Everyone wants to make quick money, and it's best to take the money out today and see the benefits tomorrow, so the directors are making movies quickly and releasing them quickly...... Of course, most of them also painted quickly, and there were more movies that were painted in two or three days.
Therefore, Zhang Qiusheng fully understands the minds of investors.
This is the mainstream of investment in Xiangjiang, everyone does this, and the social atmosphere is like this, who is to blame?
Zhang Qiusheng was thinking about it, looking at Guan Zhilin's somewhat worried face, and he didn't feel distressed.
If things don't change, at most two years later, Guan Shan's film company will go out of business, and Guan Yi will be reduced to the number two, three, and even supporting roles in the movie from now on.
This is a big blow to Guan Shan, who was once the first international actor in Xiangjiang, and it can be imagined.
So within two years, Guan Shan moved to the United States with his wife and son, leaving his 20-year-old daughter alone, working alone in the wolf-like Xiangjiang entertainment industry, in order to support himself and his parents and younger brother who were far away in the United States.
Zhang Qiusheng doesn't think that Guan Zhilin will only love money in the future, because her parents forced her, but there must be factors in it.
"From the first day of work, I took on the responsibility of supporting my parents and younger brother."
This sentence was once said to reporters in an interview, and it was impossible to tell whether it was true or not, but since Guan Zhilin became famous, most of her money has been used on her family, which has long been recognized as a fact.
Thinking that the girl entered the TV station to shoot TV series before she was 18 years old, and then entered the film industry, and at the age of 20, she was unaccompanied in Xiangjiang, Zhang Qiusheng felt distressed.
Not to mention anything else, as long as he thinks about the scene when Miss Guan stuffed all her pocket money into her hands with tears in her eyes, Zhang Qiusheng thinks that he has the obligation to take care of her and let her live well.
If Zhang Qiusheng can't help with the rest of the things, then Zhang Qiusheng is still very confident about the movie.
From the 70-year-old Xiangjiang movie "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Ranger", "Double Happiness", etc., until 2020, when this Xiangjiang movie has declined to the point of not being the same, Zhang Qiusheng not only watched every film he could find, but also wrote down his feelings and comments on each one.
Needless to say, bad movies, but if it is a good film, Zhang Qiusheng will watch it repeatedly, look for more highlights in it, and then go to the forum to discuss it with friends who are also nostalgic, and finally form pieces of magazine articles and publish them for everyone to see.
Guan Yi needs a good movie script, and that's definitely not a problem.
But the consideration of a little detail is a must.
Guan Shan won the best actor at the Rocarno International Film Festival in Switzerland for "The True Story of Ah Q", and then he almost recognized literary films, or romance films.
Over the years, although everyone has been tired of his image, this image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In terms of the level of appreciation in this era, Cheng Long and Sammo Hung's kung fu movies are definitely not suitable for Guan Shan, Stephen Chow's nonsensical jokes are even more incompatible, and even Xu Guanwen's cold-faced smiling image is not suitable for him.
Besides, now Guan Shan will not have a lot of funds in his hands, and he can't invite so many people, so he can only focus on two or three people in the best scenes, and the scenes of the movie must be few, and most of them should take place in a small fixed area.
Such a movie must also have a literary and artistic style, and at the same time, it must not be depressing, not clichΓ©d, and novel and good-looking......
To be honest, after such a series of requirements, it's no wonder that Guan Yi is not big.
But who called him lucky to have such a daughter born with good luck?
In this life, Guan Zhilin's collision has already changed her fate, and even the fate of the Guan family will change.
It's hard for others to find such a script, but for Zhang Qiusheng, it's a piece of cake.
"Jiahui."
After thinking about it, Zhang Qiusheng held the girl's hand and said softly: "Do you believe me?" β
Guan Zhilin was a little inexplicable, "Brother Sheng, how could I not believe you?" β
"That's good."
Zhang Qiusheng whispered: "I have a story that fits your father's image very well, I am going to write it out, you can help me hand it over to your father, okay?" β
"Okay~~"
Guan Zhilin's face was inexplicably surprised: "Brother Sheng, you want to write a script for Daddy?" That's great! It will definitely work! β
This girl is really innocent and cute, the boy she likes writes scripts, and she thinks it is an absolutely good script, and she doesn't think about how old Zhang Qiusheng is and how long she has been in Xiangjiang.
Miss Guan really didn't think about this.
Anyway, giving birth to a brother is omnipotent, she firmly thinks so!
Thinking that Zhang Qiusheng would actively help his father solve the dilemma for himself, Guan Zhilin's heart was sweet.
Looking at Zhang Qiusheng who was close at hand, Miss Guan's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but step forward and kiss Zhang Qiusheng.
"Brother, you're so good"
