Chapter 403: A Great Storm is Coming
Lai Yang looked at Director Xiao with a very shocked gaze, he was shocked for two reasons, one was that it was the first time to see him so serious, and the other was that the plan in his mouth was written by himself? Someone can't be subcontracted, right?
Lai Yang instinctively thought of Du Xi, and then asked for the printed manuscript from Director Xiao's hand, and after carefully flipping through a few pages, his expression became more solemn.
The things are their own, and the plan is also from their own hands, but how can it be ......
"Director Xiao, do you think something is wrong?" Laiyang asked.
"It's not that it's wrong, but I said it, you didn't care."
Director Xiao took the plan to the side, pointed to the text and said: "Look, about the core of variety shows, what you wrote is to bring out the most common things in life, such as feelings, overtime, conflicts between superiors and subordinates, etc., looking for comedy elements here, and the core theme is life." Let the contestants create around this theme, that's what you mean, I understand it right? ”
"yes."
"What's the point? People just live out of boredom, so they go to watch variety shows and movies, and as a result, do you have to present these trivialities? ”
Laiyang looked at Director Xiao very puzzled.
It can be said that he looks down on this famous director a little. I thought the other party was a person who knew art very well, but I didn't expect it to be so superficial.
Taking a deep breath, Lai Yang retorted: "Director Xiao, I don't agree with you, art is the source of life, higher than life. I used to talk about talk shows in the theater, and the more fake and empty things were, the less good feedback there was; On the contrary, it is the most common thing in life, and bringing out his comedy elements will produce a particularly good reaction! I thought you'd understand that. ”
In the last sentence, Laiyang was obviously angry, and Director Xiao heard it, but he didn't show displeasure, but unhurriedly took out a box of Chinese cigarettes from his briefcase, tore open the film and asked, "Do you smoke in the morning?" ”
Laiyang was stunned, but he still took the cigarette and lit it, inhaling and exhaling hard.
"Laiyang, you're right. But you tell jokes in the theater, why don't you talk about fake and empty things? Because the audience is sitting next to you, in the same real environment as you, he will subconsciously feel that your day is similar to his, you said that you went to buy fritters in the morning, there were too many people in line, and the uncle was in a hurry to stuff the rag as a fritters for you. Everyone believes in this, and if you can substitute for it, you will feel real and laugh. But if you want to say that the uncle stuffed the mines in your hands because he was in a hurry, everyone will definitely not believe it, right? ”
Laiyang was amused by this sudden joke, he stared at Director Xiao with a cigarette and a smile, and the other party continued.
"Look, if I want to say this in the theater just now, you must feel embarrassed and feel like you're making things up. But if you say it here, you'll laugh, why? Because we are not in the first environment, here, what you are looking for is no longer the reality, but whether there is a contrast in the imaginary picture? You laugh at the contrast, you know what I mean? ”
Laiyang flicked the ashes of his cigarette and didn't nod or deny it, but he began to re-examine the person in front of him......
"In the theater, you said that you saw a robber today, and everyone won't be nervous, because everyone is in the same environment as you, so they naturally think you're bragging. But if you want to go to the movies, even if you shoot the world destroying on the screen, aliens and dinosaurs kissing, and monks falling in love with nuns, no one will feel ridiculous, right? ”
Director Xiao also lit a cigarette, took off half of his glasses after taking a puff, and said: "This is why movies, or film and television works, are more brainy, more exciting, and even ...... Have you ever seen it? The most popular ones are all fantasy, tomb robbery, rebirth, the return of the king of soldiers, etc., because it's exciting, it's not important if it's real or not. But who do you say wants to write a book where the protagonist is the same reality as a real person, without a golden finger, unable to dominate the world, and being pressed and rubbed by difficulties at every turn, who reads this kind of book? Yes, maybe some people will watch it, but it's called a niche theme, and there are few viewers because it's not exciting. Therefore, you don't even know the essence of theater performance and variety show effects, how good can your plan be? ”
These words made Laiyang dumbfounded!
And Director Xiao squinted and smiled again, and asked him if he had ever studied a few world-class popular variety shows?
Lai Yang shook his head, his face a little ashamed.
"That'...... Director Xiao, I want to ask, it's not appropriate to simply pursue excitement, after all, this is a language show, do I want to tell a late-night interesting story with my sister-in-law? ”
"Hahaha, your kid has a very poisonous mouth."
Director Xiao extinguished the cigarette with a smile and said, "So, that's why we spend money to invite everyone, fusion, find a balance, find a stimulating framework, and make people feel like they missed this store as soon as they hear it." But the content of the joke can be down-to-earth in your way, this is the basic creative technique of popular variety shows, you understand. ”
Lai Yang nodded heavily, Director Xiao handed over another cigarette, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I was also told by Director Bi in the morning, and I was in a bad mood." Ay...... In fact, there is a lot of pressure on the top, this project has taken some time from the preparation to the present, and it has not been able to see the brilliant framework for a long time. You see, people are like this, no matter how big they are, they will always be difficult. ”
……
When Laiyang brought these words to Li Dian without moving, his little eyes were wide open for a long time before he said "awesome", and then watched the world's top variety shows all afternoon......
The sun drew a large arc over the city, and finally disappeared into the farthest street in the west in a delicate manner, and the night spread like silver on this prosperous city......
After getting off work, Li Dian didn't want to go back early, he found an office to make up for variety shows, and Laiyang was a little depressed, so he stepped on the neon and strolled on the way back while thinking.
The more lonely this moment, the more he will think extensively, so his thinking jumps from work to life, and he finds that every thing, every industry, has its essential laws behind it.
Even cities have their own unique rules, Xi'an, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Wuhan, all have their own unique places. People are all the same ordinary people, but different lives, different emotions, and different ideas will lead to different paths.
What about feelings, is it the same?
For example, Yuan Qing and Tian Jing, they are of the same age, but their life experiences are very different, and their personalities are not the same, some people will like the quiet magnolia fragrance, and there is no shortage of tulips that some people like Yuan Qing...... And who you like depends on who the thinker's laws are compatible with.
What kind of laws will life be? Marry a wife and have children? Struggle for life? Or what?
Thinking about it, Laiyang got lost, and just as he was about to search the map, he suddenly saw a half-grown boy, frantically riding a small cart printed with multigrain pancakes, whistling past him.
He rode too fast and shook off the front of the bike to avoid Laiyang, causing a large pile of vegetables and condiments to tip to the ground, and a jar of chili peppers to crumble, which was a mess.
But the boy just glanced back hurriedly, groaned in despair and anger, and rode forward frantically, and at the same moment, on the other side of the street, the sirens also sounded.
After figuring out what was going on, Laiyang picked up the vegetables and the ghetto and immediately chased after the boy's car, trying his best to help him throw the things back into the car.
ran for most of the street and threw it behind the car several times, and Laiyang finally "returned the things to their original owners".
The boy didn't say thank you during this process, he was frightened, his legs glared like Hot Wheels, but his eyes were gradually reddening when he turned back several times.
Eventually, he made a "drift" around the corner of the street and disappeared......
After Laiyang stood firm, he bent over and gasped for air.
After more than ten seconds, he sat on the floor regardless of his image. At this time, a car with city management printed on it drove past him, and the main driver rolled down the window, looked at Laiyang with complicated eyes for a few seconds, and then turned around in silence and drove away in the opposite direction.
This is the end of this episode, there is nothing to ponder and commemorate.
Even Laiyang didn't see the boy's appearance clearly, but at his age, he didn't go to school, but came out to work, so there must be his reasons and his rules of survival.
Laiyang does not evaluate.
But tonight, a certain urban law has changed a little bit because of his appearance. Perhaps, the established laws of life will also change constantly due to people's subjective actions, and it is precisely because of this that the world has become more interesting and colorful......
……
Time passed in a flash, and another day passed.
At 5 p.m. on March 6, Laiyang and Li Dian picked up Song Wen and Li Liangxin at the Hangzhou high-speed rail station in Shangcheng District, and Laiyang also knew that a big storm was coming......
