Chapter 224: 'Dirty Deals'
In this world, scumbags have only one natural enemy.
Child.
They have big eyes, short limbs, and because they can't walk, they crawl around and defecate in the open.
Scientific research says that men love children because they don't have to be involved in the parenting process, and Li Suan agrees with this point of view 100%, because in all parents, if there is a creature that must appear, it must be children.
Children are the source of chaos, the fuse of all contradictions, the engine of divorce, and the catalyst for the disintegration of the relationship between husband and wife.
As a 100% unmarried girl, Liu Shishi was confused about Li Suan's question, first chatting about scum, and then asking himself what his attitude towards the child was, and what to discuss next? Is the location of the wedding house when the grandson gets married?
"I don't have an attitude towards children, but I'm cute, aren't I?" She replied tentatively, and then saw disdain in Li Suan's eyes.
"All cute creatures, in fact, are dangerous." Li Suan solemnly warned.
"How is that possible?" Liu Shishi has a teacup dog, how cute that little thing is.
Li Shu knows that it is useless to say more, but Liu Shishi's lack of attitude is the best answer, and influencing Yang Mi's decision to have children through Liu Shishi is the best solution at present, after all, his image in front of Yang Mi is a perfect man, and if you don't want children, it is better not to say it at the moment when it is still relatively traditional.
"Let's have dinner with Director Lu Yang first, and after eating, we will talk deeply."
……
Is it simple for Li Suan to invite Director Lu Yang to dinner?
is very simple, it is not only Xu Shanzheng who has invested in the 21 network, he also pulled Ning Hao, the two of them hold 30% of the shares of the 21 network, and the box office is equal to the stock market.
The return on investment in simple film and television is small, and the payment cycle is long, but if it can be matched with the stock market and usher in a double harvest, wouldn't it be good for him and me?
Director Lu Yang is director Ning Hao's person, and having a relationship with him is equivalent to having a relationship with Ning Hao for Li Suan, and by the way, he reuses his rich professional knowledge to deter Liu Shishi, a young actor, and let her have a good look at the 'underworld forces' in the circle.
In this way, when she wants to refuse her request, she will have to weigh it.
After Li Suan and Liu Shishi arrived at the private restaurant, less than an hour later, director Lu Yang was late, he was born in a serious 800 class, and his debut works won international awards, Virgo "Blind Film Acting", won awards in Busan, South Korea, Kazan, Russia, and in the same year, won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director Debut.
In addition, in five years, he will direct the film "The Assassin".
Li Suan's sudden visit surprised Lu Yang, but it was a temporary dinner for the two, and suddenly Liu Shishi was added, and Director Lu Yang understood it in an instant.
"Li counts this guy, he is all scum and inhumane. ’
"Shishi performed well, and I was surprised." During the banquet, Director Lu Yang said politely.
Li Suan smiled politely and said, "Director Lu Yang, you are too polite. ”
Li Suan's performance can be called a bastard, it is all the credit of Director Lu Yang, and it is taught by Director Lu Yang, I just gave some guidance on acting skills...... According to Liu Shishi's audit, most of Li Shu's words mean this, she is so angry in her heart, you Li Shu has helped, but do you want me to perform by myself?
During the banquet, she also wanted to prove herself, but Li Suan talked to Director Lu Yang about her play, and it was a complete play.
"Zhou Miaotong will fall in love with Shen Lian in the end, she first resented Shen Lian because she was used as an official prostitute, and then used Shen Lian's compassion to get the criminal department documents to redeem herself, and finally because her lover was arrested, so please Shen Lian to save her,
But what she didn't expect was that her lover was already determined to die, and Shen Lian, a big straight man, would not deceive people when he returned to his life.
In the end, through an assassination, Zhou Miaotong finally realized that in this evil old society, only Shen Lian could protect himself. This feeling of being strongly protected and a man's willingness to sacrifice his life for himself is the main reason why Zhou Miaotong fell in love with Shen Lian. ”
Liu Shishi listened to Li Suan's words, and always felt that he meant something else with these words, plus threatened himself.
But Li Suan said these words, just to tell Director Lu Yang that he had read the entire script, knew this play very well, and could find a topic.
Director Lu Yang looked at Li Shu very seriously: "Mr. Li, then according to you, what is our play ultimately going to express?" ”
The movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" is very strange, especially the first one, it looks very scattered, there is brotherhood, love, and martial arts scenes, but it is chaos, and the mistakes made by Director Lu Yang are very common in the circle, that is, the theme is not obvious.
The entertainment industry seems to be frustrated, but the review process of literary and artistic works can be called strict, for example, Li Shu in "I Want To", which focuses on the courage of young people in love, but does not reflect anything in "Embroidered Spring Knife" directed by Lu Yang.
On righteousness: Shen Lian played by Zhang Zhen puts his brother in danger for love. On love: Shen Lian is like licking a dog in front of Zhou Miaotong. On martial arts: "Embroidered Spring Knife" is indeed worthy of praise, but it is already the old yellow calendar of the last century to make movies specifically for martial arts.
】
The story of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is indeed good, the fights are intensive, and there is no suspense, there is a choice of the mysterious position of Jinyiwei, but the Chinese drama pulls the crotch, it can be seen that Director Lu Yang wants to respect history and shoot the Polish treachery of political events, but because it is convenient for the audience to understand, it cannot be too obscure.
Under many factors, the theme is scattered, which is a common disease of Chinese directors.
Li Suan's answer is also incomprehensible: "Small people, big events, the story of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is good, it can be seen that Director Lu Yang has put a lot of effort into the camera and the scene, but the biggest problem is that these things are not what you want to say." ”
Director Lu Yang was stunned, and his gaze at Li Suan was a little hot.
Li Suan continued: "You must often hear a sentence in school, movies are an expression, people in the circle say that movies are the expression of the director, what do you want to say in "Embroidered Spring Knife"?
Jin Yiwei's martial arts life? Or is it the love story of Jinyiwei and the official prostitute? Is it the brotherhood between Jinyiwei? Or do you just want to tell the life of Jin Yiwei? Isn't this life to be exciting, to have fights, but also to make the audience love to watch it...... Director Lu Yang, aren't you uncomfortable? ”
Director Lu Yang's slightly weird face was tensed together, and his appearance was a bit like the fat head in Chen Xiaochun's version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", at this time he frowned slightly, this was not angry, this was said to be in his heart.
Li Suan took a sip of tea, and then said: "But it's not your fault, I understand, investors want you to protect your capital, and the audience is looking forward to a good-looking story, what is good-looking?" Big scenes, big productions, like explosions, 'peng', they want to watch cool, it's the kind of thing that is simpler and pureer, but this kind of thing, can it be called a movie? ”
"yes!"
Lu Yang interrupted Li Suan and slapped the table, Li Suan's evaluation made Director Lu Yang think that he had met a confidant.
Li Suan continued: "It's difficult for us literary and art workers, because there are policies and requirements, we are sandwiched in the middle, just like a daughter-in-law, we can't violate the above, and we can't refute the below, if we want to make a meal that everyone eats cool, and is praised, we can only embarrass ourselves." ”
"Yes, you are a writer, you are so right! Come on, come on, we have to have a drink. ”
Director Lu Yang turned around and called the waiter, he had to serve wine today!
What about Li Shuan?
Still smiling politely.
In fact, the story mode of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is a standard small person involved in a big event, but Director Lu Yang can't shoot it so simply.
The play has been done enough, and Li Suan's next words are to enter the suggested paragraph.
He said: "Director, if you want to talk about brotherhood, I have a little suggestion, Pheasant Haonan is outdated, but we can change it a little, the kind of duplicitous joke, you might as well add a little, the important part, try to increase the complexity of some literary dramas, after all, you are filming a political event like the assassination of Wei Zhongxian, a little twisted and turned, nothing." ”
Li Suan's words seemed to be giving advice, but in fact, he didn't say anything, because the drama had already started filming, and Director Lu Yang would not change it even if he could, because the investment was too large, and if it was changed, it would involve the overall situation.
This is the same as Li Suan once held a meeting with the editors, the direction proposed by the other party is good, but it is Li Suan who does the work.
Of course, how to talk about it, after all, the work is not done by yourself.
After eating, Director Lu Yang had to take Li Shu to the crew hotel, the two of them had to talk for a long time, Li Shu couldn't be killed, if he told Director Lu Yang to be more excited, he would have to be detained in the crew to change the script.
In fact, this script, it's not that Li Shu likes to tear it, but there is no way, when China Entertainment is growing savagely, except for the internationally renowned ones, all the scripts should be torn.
After sending Director Lu Yang into the car, Li Suan said to Liu Shishi: "Believe it or not, when I see Director Ning Hao again, he must know me." ”
Liu Shishi was a companion at the dinner, but she didn't want to say a good word about Li Suan, and when Li Suan talked to Lu Yang, she gradually understood what Li Suan wanted to say to herself.
"What you want to tell me is that this is not up or down?"
Li Suan thought about it and carefully organized the language: "Yes, to put it bluntly, everyone thinks very well, and they feel that they are quite scumbags and can be transformed, and they will be scum if they find a man, but there is a cost to change." ”
Liu Shishi's mood is a little low, and I don't blame her, the education we received since childhood is that I can become anyone, but it turns out that there are some people you can't become. We were taught from an upbringing that it is glorious to engage in any profession, and it turns out that glory always belongs to a small number of people.
Li Suan glanced at Liu Shishi, although he was a little soft-hearted, he still had to use it. He asked, "Don't want to be a scumbag?" ”
Liu Shishi shook his head silently, in fact, it stands to reason that with Li Shu's more than ten years of experience as a scumbag, how could he not know that the influence of Wu Jiaqilong on her is actually not so exaggerated?
But the problem is that if the Wu family Qilong really broke up with her, it doesn't matter if others don't know the future, Li Suan knows. Wu Jiaqilong is not the destination of Liu Shishi, so who is her destination?
Yourself?
Are you kidding...... Just think about this kind of good thing, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, even if this Liu Shishi is very good in appearance.
Li Shuan made a loyal suggestion: "It's impossible for you to be a scumbag, but you can make a compromise." ”
Liu Shishi raised his eyes.
"Tea, you know? It's the kind of perfect wife in the eyes of men and scheming in the eyes of women. ”
The word 'tea' also has historical origins, and in modern times, it refers to the wrong mouth, ostensibly a moral saint, but secretly has other intentions.
is different from an upright goblin like Yang Mi, tea seems to be a rank lower, but it is the kind of person who gets a goblin and behaves well.
"Something about it." Liu Shishi said sullenly, "What should I do?" ”
Li is happy, it's good to have a picture, you have a picture, we can talk about business, right?
……
Department stores, full of people.
The fourth floor sells children's clothing and toys, and there is a warm atmosphere with warm yellow lights everywhere.
Liu Shishi and Li Shu sat on the bench for resting, each with an egg roll, and then looked at the young parents on the entire floor, fighting wits and courage with the children.
"Look, can you ask for this? Yang Mi is not a parent, she doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and it is not easy to feed a child, that is, a four-legged gold-swallowing beast. ”
Listening to Li Suan's complaints, Liu Shishi opened his mouth and said, "Aren't you bad for money? ”
"It's okay with the past, do you know what will happen after this thing appears in the house? For example, when Yang Mi came home, when he didn't have children, he said, 'Baby, I'm back.' When you have a child, it's 'Child, mom is back', isn't that scary? ”
Liu Shishi wanted to tell if he didn't understand what Li Shu was saying: "Is this terrible? ”
"Language is the embodiment of a person's heart, you say who you care about the most, who you care about the most, who you care about first, you will ask first, and the most critical, if a woman thinks of herself as a mother, she will age quickly, you say that the love life of two people, it is enough to have me and you, why do you have to add a child?
Do you know how many things humans can do against human nature in order to get pregnant? What the onlookers see is warmth, but the witnesses are suffering from human tragedy......"
There was a cry that there was a child who confronted his parents again, and he didn't buy what he wanted, and the child rolled on the ground generously, making his parents anxious.
Li Shu pointed in that direction to Liu Shishi and said, "Look at it, can you ask for it like this?" And there are scientific studies that show that parents with children age fast, and it is useless to spend on maintenance. ”
"How do you know your child won't be obedient, look over there, how nice."
Liu Shishi pointed in another direction, and the little girls followed their mothers quietly, and some were still wearing dance clothes, as if they were going to participate in extracurricular training.
"No way, my daughter must be the Demon King of the Mixed World."
Liu Shishi said: "Why? ”
"Because her father is me, and my daughters are like fathers, if you look at Yang Mi's character, can this child have it? As long as you help me with this, I will pass on my life's skills to you, so that you can be scum if you want to be scum, and tea if you want tea, as long as you can convince Yang Mi to not have children! ”
