Chapter 103: 'Monkey King'
The word godfather,
It's not good.
There are quite a lot of them in the circle.
Yang Mi doesn't have any disgust for this kind of thing, it's just pure disgust. She glanced at Li Suan's face, thought about Director Yang's face again, and suppressed her heart, no matter how she thought about it, it was impossible to think about it, but it was the possibility that she would think.
There is no pure friendship between a man and a woman, and Yang Mi knows this truth.
But you want to say that men and men are pure friendships?
So what's going on in Jinjiang?
She coughed lightly and squatted beside Li Shu: "We are in Huaxia, there is no tradition of godfathers, right?" ”
Li Shu didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”
"That is to say, for example, if you have friends and like children, if we have children in the future, call a godfather or something, and you can get more pocket money, but godfather ......"
Yang Mi couldn't go on, because Li Suan's laughter blossomed, he sat on the ground, looking at Yang Mi, as if he had heard the best joke in the world.
"Don't laugh!"
Yang Mi's face was flat: "I'll tell you seriously!" ”
"Yes, you're telling me serious, but are you serious in your heart?"
Yang Mi made a red face: "Oh, it's not okay for me to think nonsense?" ”
"Alright, you can do whatever you want. In order to avoid misunderstanding, I have to tell you that Director Yang has a son. ”
"You have a son, and you still say that he treats you as a son?"
Li Suan carefully organized the wording.
"Director Yang's son is very good, he studied abroad, returned from abroad, and then followed Director Yang as a director, learning things while also shooting things by himself, which is all right. But in our business, it's easy for you to learn well, but if you want to be fine, you need that 1% talent, Director Yang's son, no. ”
Yang Mi blinked: "Then this 1%, do you have it?" ”
"Me didn't either, did I? I just, chatted with Director Yang a lot, and he thought I did, that's all. ”
"Oh."
Yang Mi suddenly realized: "So, Director Yang sent you a book just to be your godfather......
"Okay, okay, I'll explain it to you, don't say it so ugly."
Yang Mi sat directly on the ground, and the meaning was very obvious.
'Say it. ’
"That's what I told you......"
"You wait first!"
Yang Mi took a deep breath and continued to say to Li Suan: "First of all, my exam results are quite good, I have never bothered my family when I am promoted to junior high school, junior high school, and university entrance examination, so my IQ is definitely fine."
Secondly, I entered the industry earlier than you, and I graduated from a professional class, although I am an actor...... Yes, I eat with my face now, but when it comes to life experience, let's talk about it.
Finally, I ask you, don't say the technical terms of those screenwriters, tell me in a way I can understand, otherwise I will sound like a book from heaven, okay? ”
Li Shu blinked: "Then let's stop talking about it......"
Yang Mi said very calmly: "Then I'll cry, I can cry so much that the whole hotel knows about it, and they all come to see your jokes." ”
These words hit the Li fortune teller.
He was stunned for a moment and said, "You have been trained by me now, you can be cheeky." ”
"You teach it well. Now let's talk, I'll listen carefully. ”
Yang Mi crossed his legs, leaned forward, and looked at Li Suan seriously.
Li Suan said: ""Journey to the West" has different meanings for China in different periods, do you understand this sentence? ”
"I'm a little bit overwhelmed, I'm not an idiot, thank you for reminding me."
Li Suan said with a smile: "To be precise, if you trace the source, the root of "Journey to the West" is in the Tang Dynasty, and there is really a matter of learning scriptures, and the person who learns the scriptures is a monk named Xuanzang, there are no demons and monsters, and it is not the West Heaven that goes to the West."
This story has been circulated, and in the Ming Dynasty, I met Wu Chengen, who was a native of the Jiajing period, and it was the most intense time point in the struggle of the Chinese court.
When people create stories, they will shape the stories to be more in line with the current society because of the times they live in. Therefore, "Journey to the West" written by Wu Chengen is not how Sun Wukong experienced ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties on the way to learn scriptures. It is an encyclopedia that contains the political wisdom of the court during the Jiajing period. But Emperor Jiajing himself, the image in the book is not the Jade Emperor, but the Buddha. ”
Li Suan paused, looked at Yang Mi, and Yang Mi also looked at him, silent.
She seemed to suddenly realize: "I understand, I understand, I understand everything." ”
"What do you understand?"
Yang Mi held on: "What you want to say, I understand." ”
"I'm just getting started."
Yang Mi seemed to grit his teeth: "Then you go on!" ”
Li Suan said: "Actually, it's not that complicated, you just usually read more books...... Why are you biting me? ”
"It's okay, I just want to bite, and biting a smart person can increase my IQ."
Li Suan laughed, this girl is getting more and more stupid and cute.
"Why do you think you're talking to me about this?"
"I want to get to know you, okay? I want to know, why did you give our son to others as a grandson as soon as you saw the gift from Director Yang, okay? ”
Li Suan said: "After you listen to me, Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" is a model of 'political wisdom', in which Sun Wukong's road to Buddhahood contains some philosophies. Director Yang sent me this because he wanted me to learn from it, and all these books are not as valuable as the three notes that Director Yang gave me.
I said that Director Yang treated me as a son, and it was he who gave me everything he read and summarized. And I just know how valuable this thing is, so I think that Director Yang treats me as a son.
For a screenwriter/writer, the value of these notes can no longer be measured in money. ”
Yang Mi looked at Li Suan, and Li Suan looked at Yang Mi.
Li Suan asked, "Do you understand?" ”
Yang Mi said to himself: "Almost." ”
Li Suan laughed.
Yang Mi said: "You are not allowed to laugh! ”
Li Suan hugged the girl and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, if I guess wrong, then I'm self-inflicted." Let's go, you go to filming, I'll go find Sister Zeng, Long Dandan has arrived. ”
Five minutes later, when Li Suan and Yang Mi got into the elevator together, Li Suan had significantly fewer words and no jokes. Yang Mi was keenly aware of this change, and then cooperated without saying a word.
If you are engaged in literature, that's it, when you don't speak, you start to think about things.
Li Shu, he didn't miss it, although he didn't know where the basis for his judgment was, but he never missed it, which was quite scary.
Yang Mi was sent to the car to the crew by Li Suan, and when the car started, she looked at Li Suan outside the window, and suddenly felt that this person seemed to be far away from her, because she found that in addition to picking up girls and causing trouble, Li Suan was serious and serious.
This feels weird.
Li Suan's VIP car arrived, and after getting in the car, he told the master the address, and then went to the place where he had made an appointment with Zeng Jia.
For that "Journey to the West", his cognition is much higher than that of modern people.
The story of Journey to the West, starting from the Tang Dynasty, left behind the famous tourist attraction White Horse Temple.
Since the rise of the Ming Dynasty, leaving behind the surface full of gods and Buddhas, demons and monsters, and four masters and apprentices, Wu Chengen hid the political meaning contained in it under the water, just like using a story of gods and monsters to bury the treasure of wisdom in it.
Up to now, the Chinese people need a hero, so there is a 'Monkey King' who has great powers and acts for the heavens.
Deeds become stories, stories become legends, legends become scripts, novels, Peking operas, and so on...... Finally, it evolves into a part of a nation and becomes a cultural label of a nation.
'Any enduring greatness is because of a nation'
"Journey to the West", it is beneficial to open the book.
Li Suan suddenly understood why the sixth-year-old teacher said, 'Only I can be the Monkey King', and remembered the "King of Kung Fu" made by the eldest brother and Lianjie and the Americans.
Something, if enlightened.
To sum up, if the "King of Kung Fu" made by the Americans is really a box office hit, it will even replace the Journey to the West culture in the hearts of the younger generation...... That's really not as good as letting Teacher Liuxiaolingtong play the monkey king all the time!
There are some things in the culture of their own country, which foreigners have changed, whether it is good or bad, it is called cultural invasion.
As far as the Americans' arrogance is concerned, if Sun Wukong can't join the Avengers.
In the next few years, there will be a lot of bad movies around the name of Monkey King, but among them, some good works have been born.
For example, "The Legend of the Great Sage", such as the ensuing "Nezha", "Jiang Ziya", "Green Snake" and so on.
The birth of a good work, if in the current environment, will be like the sun, shining a perfect new world.
What to do?
Li Suan has already shown signs in his heart.
Not to mention that he is turned upside down, at the very least, he has to rot all this good meat in his own pot!
……
The agreed place is not far from the hotel, and after getting out of the car, Li Shu put on sunglasses. No way, after all, it is the first time to meet, and they have to leave a good impression on each other, Yang Mi said, Li Suan's eyes are very problematic, and when he is stared at, he is inexplicably unhappy.
Wearing sunglasses, I saw Zeng Jia, this sister, and I was stunned when I saw Li Suan's sunglasses.
The first sentence is.
"Beaten?"
Li Suan looked at Zeng Jia: "? ”
Zeng Jia couldn't see Li Suan's expression clearly, so he asked, "Yang Mi beat him?" ”
Li Suan asked rhetorically: "How can you tell that it was Yang Mi who hit him?" ”
"It's still okay for her to shoot action scenes, and she can endure hardships, you shouldn't be able to beat her."
Li Shu was teased enough, looking at his small body, and thinking about last night's 'bad state', he could only silently make a note in his heart.
Fitness, fitness, fitness!
The date time is 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Long Dandan arrived on time, the time is exactly the same, her clothes are comfortable, the clothes are okay, it is those eyes, as soon as you look at it, it gives people the feeling that this girl is not only not easy to get along with, but also very utilitarian.
Sure enough, people still have to wear sunglasses.
"Teacher Li, is this?"
"Hurt." Zeng Jia replied: "Mr. Long, our plan ...... yesterday"
Long Dandan also exchanged courtesies and interrupted Zeng Jia: "I have watched it all, we voted, the variety show of "Guarding Pudongxi", the movie of "I Want Us to Be Together", and the publication of "Passing by Your World", film and television projects and variety shows, we must occupy at least 60% of the investment share, the more the better." For the publication of the book, Hunan Publishing House will go all out.
However, after the finished product comes out, in addition to Mr. Li Suan's 'creative freedom', can we discuss this veto again? ”
Zeng Jia couldn't believe it: "Mr. Long, the plan is not so comprehensive, do you want to take another look?" ”
"No need, we believe in Mr. Li Suan, believe in Jiaxing's production ability, these projects are hard to say in Taiwan, but in my case, I almost got a full score."
Long Dandan kept looking at Li Shu when he spoke, good things are infectious, "Guarding the Liberation of the West" killed all sides on Xiaopo Station in the previous life, it is a real civilian police matter, plus restrained literary subtitles, and the filming location is in Changsha, and there is also the shadow of Hunan TV behind it.
The plan mentions variety shows, novels, and movies, among them, this variety show is the killer feature that attracts Long Dandan.
Li Suan's plan is to make an all-round effort, he doesn't need to know the details, he only needs to provide the core idea, and then be responsible for the final check, as for how to produce, how to attract investment, and engage in sponsorship, these problems will be handed over to Zeng Jia, a veteran agent in the circle, plus Long Dandan, the godmother of the 'draft'.
Li calculates clearly that Long Dandan has been a big bull who has brought the idol trend into China since 2003. The name of the founder of a 'Super Girl' is not enough to sum up her person, in a sense, she is an angel and a devil.
"Teacher Li, I want to ask you a question."
Long Dandan asked Li Shuan: "Do you have any personal likes and dislikes for the idol industry?" ”
"No, I think the idol industry is pretty good."
Li Shu sat up straight: "If there is no local idol industry in Huaxia, will those young people be allowed to lick "Twilight" every day? Ten years later, the dream of all young girls is to go to the United States to meet vampires. ”
Long Dandan corrected: "It's not just a girl, right? ”
Li Suan said: "Yes, because boys' dreams are generally girls. ”
Long Dandan was a little shocked, the idol field has just emerged, and it is when it is suppressed by the traditional mainstream, Li Suan, it should be someone from the traditional side, right?
She asked, "Teacher Li, are you this year?" ”
“26。” Li Suan deliberately reported an extra year of age.
"Some gossip says, are you Director Yang or an illegitimate child? I'm really convinced now, it's hard for a young man of your age to understand this height. ”
Li calculated his conscience and showed the reaction that an 'illegitimate child' should have: "Some things are just gossip, don't mention them in the future." ”
Long Dandan understood, and she revealed the topic: "In that plan, it was not clearly stated that you wanted to replace Guo Xiaosi and become a star writer, but the reason why you chose to make trouble in "Little Times" should also have this idea. ”
Long Dandan didn't finish his words, because the next words were for Li Shu to say by himself.
Li Suan said very objectively: "Yes." Director Guo is good at everything, but he doesn't like to read. ”
"I see, no problem. I, as well as the Hunan TV station behind me, and the Hunan Publishing House, will fully support you. ”
Li Suan knew that this would be the result, but he didn't expect that Long Dandan would be so straightforward.
"You abandoned him, and you really didn't have any love for it." He said.
"With gold like yours shining here, am I going to pick at the sludge of pearls? Mr. Li, you don't have to be too modest, looking for capital is like looking for a husband, friction can be there, but the three views must be the same. Guo Xiaosi's plagiarism has been a headache for us, and now that we have you, some people don't have to pay attention to him anymore. ”
Long Dandan's tone was relaxed, like throwing away a piece of garbage, capitalism is like this, today you are still the only pearl in the palm of your hand, and tomorrow you are a replaceable factory part.
Li Suan had to cheer up and finalize every contract detail with Long Dandan and Zeng Jia, Zeng Jia understands the "Company Law", "Contract Law" and other laws, so she is basically communicating with Long Dandan, and Li Suan makes some details to add.
Especially in the publication of "From You", because "Guarding Pudongxi" and "I Want Us to Be Together" are things that have not been filmed for the time being, and before the contract is signed, before the thing is made, it is almost the same as not signing.
20% royalty finalized.
The investment share and share ratio of movies and variety shows have been finalized.
The celebrity writer's publicity plan is finalized.
It was dark outside, and Li Suan, Zeng Jia, and Long Dandan didn't eat a mouthful of anything, and just drank coffee. This is a brain duel involving 'extremely complex laws', and Li Suan is exempt from war because he doesn't understand it.
"Teacher Li, I don't understand, why are you so insistent on a veto?"
Long Dandan asked puzzledly: "I am already very sincere, you can even ask Yang Dao to join the review panel, with him here, you don't have to worry about what conspiracy we are playing with you, right?" ”
"I know and understand, but I'm really not at ease."
But what Li Suan thinks is that that is my father, not my own father!
"That's it. When I want to use this veto, I will do my best to convince you, if not, just like the joint-stock system, according to the proportion of investment, majority decision, this is always okay, right? ”
Holding his head with one hand, Zeng Jia, who had a headache because of overuse of his brain, heard Li Suan's mouth loose and raised his eyes.
Long Dandan also looked tired, and looked at Li Suan's sunglasses for a long time: "Okay, that's it!" ”
Li Suan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Look, in addition to having a meeting every day, I am tired, how can I feel comfortable with a girl.
