Chapter 31: 'Seeking'
It is not surprising that Brother Nine did not know about this 'Stanislavsky' quote, which was usually pasted on the bedside of the dormitory of the drama school in the fifties and sixties of the last century, admonishing every student who looked at it before bedtime.
And the one who told Li Shu this sentence was Li Suan's first master, Director Han.
Later, Li Suan heard that Director Han's father was also a screenwriter, but he was not famous, and instantly understood why Director Han drank too much every time, either scolding people and causing trouble, or locking himself in his room, and turned on the gramophone that played former Soviet songs to the maximum.
Then, Han Dao sang.
Yes, this good-for-nothing man knows some Russian, and it is said that the sister-in-law is attracted to him because he can sing the Russian version of "The Dawn Is Quiet Here".
Maybe Director Han was also an aspiring young man who had the heart to break out in this world, but unfortunately, the sky in this world is big in the palm of his hand, so there is no place for him to fly.
Director Han also has a famous saying, which he said to Li Suan, he said that a man is like a pigeon, as long as his wings are clipped, he is a plastic bag blown up by the wind.
Li Suan doesn't want to be a plastic bag, and he doesn't want to be a rich man who only reminisces about the past after the wine is hot, holding a tender model, but if he wants to continue to mix in this circle, how much more dissatisfied does he have?
If there are too many things, I will long for love, at least I have to pretend to be in love, and if I don't act well, I will be next, just like choosing a concubine.
But it's all the model of choosing a concubine, can there be love?
Life is not a Qing Dynasty time travel drama, there are gains and losses.
"What do I love you? What do you mean? Say something you can understand. "Brother Jiu is obviously uneducated, but he has money. Li Suan didn't want to explain, so he could only lead to trouble.
"Let's go see the director and let him explain it to you."
"You guys who are engaged in art are trouble, it's all a problem."
waited for the car Li Suan to ask what was wrong with that sentence, but he listened to Brother Jiu pour bitter water, and it is Director Yang's habit to write the script and shoot the drama at the same time, the reason why he has this habit is because Director Yang feels that he can't keep up, in this era of increasing efficiency, in the past, writing scripts was written with a pen, what subject matter was written, and he went to the place for three months to experience life first, and if he didn't understand it, he would experience it for another three months.
Later, with money, with a laptop, there is also the stepfather of capital, capital doesn't care what art you have, all you want is efficiency, efficiency in writing scripts, efficiency in shooting, and efficiency in making money, so filming has become an art that does not need to be improved, and it has become: a task to be completed within a fixed time; An item where earnings can be estimated on a chart.
Director Yang still has a certain degree of artistic accomplishment, so he asks the screenwriter to join the group, write and shoot at the same time, and don't let go of any sudden inspiration, often writing an episode of the script today, but because of a certain line and a certain reaction in a scene yesterday, this episode was written in vain.
Therefore, Mr. Zhang, the captain of the sudden death squad, met Director Yang, a madman who changed the script, and they were really a natural pair.
"Brother Jiu, the director did the right thing." Li Suan can only say this.
Brother Jiu said: "I know, then you can't scold a couple of sentences?" Everyone is here to make money, so you have to toss people so much. Let me tell you, in this scene, everyone really didn't eat a penny, on such a cold day, staying up late every day, a few of them could stand it. When you meet the director, you have time to help me say a few words. ”
Li Suan met Brother Jiu's gaze, and could only smile and say, "Wrap me." ”
"I know that you are reliable, and when this scene is filmed, my brother will take you to be chic."
Li Shu smiled and nodded, and then listened to Brother Jiu bragging all the way.
Times have changed, Director Yang's artistic concept is no longer popular, scolded from below, against the white eyes of the main creator, the young audience still doesn't watch the things filmed at all, they don't like to watch it, they have no voice, and if they don't have voice, it is difficult to make money.
So why?
Why do you still suffer this sin when you are old?
Passing through the path behind the courtyard, you can enter a 'broken temple' from the side of the building, where the Buddha statue was originally placed next to a stone wall, which was smashed open a hole, and that is where Yang Dao stayed.
The assistant director and Director Yang's female assistant didn't know Li Suan, but seeing that he came with Brother Jiu, he was let go all the way, it was already very late, and depending on the situation, today was destined to be a sleepless night.
"The director dozed off."
The female assistant reminded softly. Brother Jiu said that he had received it, and then asked Li Shu what to do with his mouth? Li Suan signaled that Brother Jiu was okay and walked in alone.
Several monitors filled a wall, with the actor assistant director sitting in one corner, and the art teacher and props teacher sitting in the other corner.
Li Shu walked behind Director Yang and saw that in the monitor facing him, Wu Jia Qilong and Wang Jia Ziwen were on standby, obviously Yang Dao couldn't sleep for long.
As soon as he lowered his head, Li Suan saw the huge 'rich bag' behind Yang Dao's neck, and Li Suan leaned down: "Dao, I'll help you press it?" ”
Director Yang let out a 'hmm', as if whispering in a dream.
Li Suan looked at the 'rich bag', and pressed it with the only right hand that could still move.
This is a stunt he later learned with the Internet brother and spent a lot of money, film and television workers, usually have this 'rich bag' on the back of their necks, how to press people comfortably and relieve the symptoms of soreness, is Li Suan's specialty.
Director Yang still felt soreness and swelling pain at the beginning, but later he felt comfortable, and instead of humming, he snored.
The old man in his sixties can't stand the iron beating like this every day.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the assistant director's walkie-talkie came on call, and the actors were already in place, whether to start filming.
Without waiting for the assistant director to hesitate, Director Yang had already opened his eyes and picked up the walkie-talkie in front of him: "Let's go through it first." ”
Director Yang didn't notice Li Suan at all, watched the actors go through the script, and then called for filming.
Li Shu stood behind Director Yang, watching the performances of the two actors on the monitor, and with ten years of screenwriting experience, he could naturally see the good and the bad.
"Why are you here?"
Li Shu was so absorbed that he didn't pay attention to when Director Yang saw him.
"I thought I'd come over to see you, and say goodbye by the way."
"Where are you going?"
Li Suan said: "Go home." ”
There was another voice on the walkie-talkie, and Director Yang sprayed at it: "Do it again, do it again, what's wrong if you don't wake up?" Five minutes to adjust your mood! ”
Putting down the walkie-talkie, Director Yang looked at Li Suan: "In your current state, it's good to go back and rest for a while, and when you come to Yanjing again, come to my house and introduce a few people to you." ”
This is a bit of an apprenticeship.
Li Shu didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything if he didn't want to come to Yanjing again.
When he was not sensible, he felt that the world was very small, but when he was sensible, he felt that even Yanjing was too big, in his previous life, at this age, he never took the landscape paintings used as wallpapers on the computer seriously, and felt that there were infinite possibilities in the future, and he wanted to go, and he could leave at any time.
Later, I learned that life is a file, which can file everything tangible and intangible, from very large to very small.
Li Suan squatted beside Director Yang, as a practitioner, he might be a little ashamed to ask such a thing, but he was really curious.
"Director, what do you say, art?"
Director Yang looked at Li Suan inexplicably, the old man's eyes seemed to be a little surprised, and he was too arrogant to hide something in the face of the old guy who was good at reading people's hearts.
"I've never lied to you, I really don't want to do it."
The reason is simple.
Last life.
