Chapter 252: Interview and then to Hengdian
"Well, I don't make that much ......"
All eyes in the room cast their eyes on the source of the sound.
Qin Muchu was exposed as if he was illuminated by countless spotlights.
"Director Qin?"
"I didn't see you just now, and I said why didn't you come."
A colleague who had filmed the MV before greeted Qin Muchu.
"Xiao Qin, why are you catting there?" Zhang Yimou also looked surprised.
Qin Muchu secretly rolled his eyes.
If you hadn't blown me up there, I would have been here all night.
When the reporter asks you anything, you will answer honestly, who asked you to lift chestnuts, are you a squirrel?
Although he complained frantically in his heart, he still had a fake smile on his face:
"Ah, I'll just find a random place to stand there."
"This is what I just said about director Qin Muchu, although he is not from the opening and closing ceremonies team, but he has also made a great contribution to the Olympic Games.
This is what I want to say, tonight's honor and achievements belong to every Olympic staff, in front of and behind the scenes, visible and invisible......
Zhang Yimou output another pass to the camera, and then beckoned to Qin Muchu:
"Come on, come on, come here."
Can I not go?
Qin Muchu sighed.
The reason why he hid in the corner was to get mixed up with tonight's interview.
"Yes, yes, Director Qin, you come to the front, it just so happens that I also have a lot of questions for you."
The female reporter smiled.
This is also the focus of the interview list.
ββ¦β¦β
Then I don't want to go.
Qin Muchu had no choice but to step forward.
Zhang Yimou patted Qin Muchu's shoulder with a smile:
"Filming a new movie?"
"Well, it's ......"
"No hurry, I'm talking at the end of the interview."
Qin Muchu nodded, he had some questions on the camera screen that he wanted to ask Lao Mouzi during this movie shooting.
The styles of famous directors in the Celestial Empire are different, but if you talk about who has the best movie picture, Lao Mouzi is definitely the best one.
"Director Qin, just now Director Zhang also said that you worked tirelessly in the filming of the MV of "Yanjing Welcomes You", so what did you find the most difficult and impressive thing during that time?"
The reporter handed the microphone up.
"The most difficult, the most impressive......"
Qin Muchu muttered, thinking about it for a while:
"It's the most difficult, but it's really hard to choose.
Because the time is very tight, even if there is a difficulty, it usually has to be solved within an hour or two, and no more than half a day at the latest...... Everyone is trying their best to do this well, and everything is giving way to this thing.
I remember that during that time, the places of interest in Yanjing were basically closed, just to make it easier for us to shoot at any time......"
The female reporter also remembered and said:
"Yes, I remember that many places posted 'temporarily closed to the outside world due to the Olympics.'"
"yes, that's kind of what it means."
Qin Muchu nodded,
"Because it needs to be kept secret, it can't be said that it is the MV for the song "Yanjing Welcomes You".
However, although the attraction is closed, there are quite a lot of tourists outside.
Many of them came to Yanjing from other places, and some of them were quite far away, and they traveled to Yanjing to see these places of interest.
It happened to be just in time for us to shoot, but no one complained or anything, and we encouraged us to do a good job, and many of us bought some water at our own expense and gave it to the staff......
There are also many shots in the MV that I need to shoot from the air, shooting in a helicopter, and once there was a conflict with the civil aviation route.
Originally, I wanted to say that we would wait a while before shooting, but the leader directly delayed the flight and waited for us to finish filming before flying......"
Qin Muchu recalled the period when he was filming the MV, there were many difficulties, but it felt as if God was helping them, and the difficulties were no longer difficult.
"So just now Director Zhang said that I work hard and make contributions or something, but in fact, everyone in the Olympic team is the same, and there are even more people who work harder and contribute more than me.
Not only that, but also the workers who built the Bird's Nest and other sports venues, the volunteers of the Olympic Games, the medical staff who prevented accidents, the tourists who bought us water, and the relevant departments that escorted us...... There are too many, it's just that they're more obscure than we are. β
The staff at the scene all felt a little that the various difficulties they encountered in their work, but when they finally succeeded, their names were still on the honor list, which was also rewarding.
But there are still many people who have paid a lot for the Olympics and have not caught anything.
For example, the performers in the programs they had previously overthrown.
Many people have practiced hard for a year, but when the plan is suddenly killed, a year of hard work is in vain.
There are so many of them that they are numb.
This is much more cruel than the program screening of the Spring Festival Gala.
At this time, Lao Mouzi also spoke, as the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies, he felt the deepest:
"Xiao Qin is right, the success of the Olympic Games so far, I can't put this honor on a certain person, a certain group of people, it belongs to everyone who pays attention to the Olympics and hopes that it will be good......"
β¦β¦
The interview was long, lasting about two hours, until it was close to twelve o'clock.
There was no one else in the nest but them.
"Everyone laughs, I'll shout 'eggplant thief' together in Shu Daoshan for a while."
The Olympic team set up their formation, and the photographer shouted loudly with his camera in his hand.
"Where's that accent?"
Qin Muchu, who was standing in the front row, couldn't help but mutter.
"Shuzhong, the accent over there is like this."
Ke Baolei, who was standing next to him, said.
"Where is Shudao Mountain? What did he just mean? β
At this time, another man with glasses, who looked polite and soft-spoken, asked.
"That is, count to three and shout 'eggplant.'" Ke Zhaolei explained in a low voice.
Over there, the photographer has already begun to count.
"Mountain, Le, yesβeggplant thief!"
As the words fell, the flashing lights fixed the entire Olympic team in the middle of the stadium at the Bird's Nest, smiling faces filling the spectator seats behind them.
"Teacher Lin, follow me in the car, I just happened to be on the way."
"Thank you then."
"What's there to thank you for this?"
Ke Zhaolei beckoned the middle-aged man with glasses just now, and waved his hand to Qin Muchu again:
"Director Qin, let's go, and we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
"Definitely, definitely."
Qin Muchu shook hands with Ke Zhaolei.
The man with glasses also smiled and said to Qin Muchu:
"I like the words you wrote, and the movie is also great, we can talk about it when we come to Hong Kong Island."
"Teacher Lin, then I'll be disturbed when the time comes." Qin Muchu said politely.
The man in front of him is Lin Xi, the lyricist of "Yanjing Welcomes You".
"You're too polite, by the way, I heard that you are going to release an album for Zhou Huimin, is this also the song you wrote for her?" Lin Xi asked suddenly.
"It's not all mine, but I've written a few songs." Qin Muchu shook his hand.
"Zhou Jiaolun."
Lin Xi was a little surprised, and then smiled again:
"Strong combination, the music scene is going to be an earthquake again, then I'm looking forward to it."
"You're laughing ......"
β¦β¦
After taking photos, the Olympic team greeted their acquaintances and dispersed.
I was nervous during the day, high at night, and stayed up until nearly twelve o'clock, and I was mentally exhausted.
"Okay, the closing ceremony is ...... above"
After Zhang Yimou finished discussing with Deputy Director Zhang, he looked up and saw Qin Muchu walking outside the bird's nest.
"Xiao Qin!"
He shouted and walked over there.
Qin Muchu was so sleepy at this moment, according to his habit, he went to bed early at this point.
Hearing the shout, he stopped, turned back and yawned:
"What's wrong, Director Zhang? There won't be any more events in the future, right? β
Zhang Yimou caught up in two steps and said:
"Isn't this a good idea to talk about your movie?"
"Talking about movies?"
Qin Muchu thought about it, and was a little incredulous:
"Now?"
"Hmm." Zhang Yimou nodded honestly.
Qin Muchu was a little speechless:
"Director Zhang, you're not mistaken, right? What time is it, still talking about movies, go back to wash and sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow. β
As he spoke, he yawned again.
"Not tomorrow, I'll have a meeting tomorrow. Let's talk on the road. β
Lao Mouzi pulled Qin Muchu and walked out.
Qin Muchu didn't know that Lao Mouzi was so old, how could he still be so energetic.
Seeing that Lao Mouzi had some rare excitement and eagerness on his face, like a child who was in a hurry to buy toys, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he smiled:
"You haven't made a movie for too long, and now the Olympics are almost over, and your hands are itchy, right?"
It's been two years since Lao Mouzi's last movie "Golden Armor", and it is estimated that he is a little unable to hold back now.
Qin Muchu can understand this feeling, Yang Mi went to Hengdian to film for two months and couldn't see him, he also felt this way.
"After the Olympics, I am thinking about making a film as soon as possible."
Lao Mouzi admitted calmly.
"Or is it your movie, I read the news that you are an actor and a foreigner this time? It's that what is it, just ......?"
He frowned, unable to remember what his name was.
"Iron Man," Qin Muchu reminded, "the actor's name is Robert Downey Jr." β
He felt that something was wrong:
"Do you still have time to watch the news?"
The Olympics are not about getting closer and more relaxed, on the contrary, the closer you get, the more nervous you are, and this state of affairs has been maintained until the end of the Olympics.
"Who said it last night, saying that you were secretly making a movie......" Zhang Yimou said.
"What is secretly filmed, it sounds so ugly, I just don't want to be disturbed by the paparazzi."
Qin Muchu was not convinced, and he didn't shoot AV.
Lao Mouzi just said casually, didn't dwell on this, and asked:
"What is Iron Man?"
"Forehead ......"
It seems that Lao Mouzi is really conscientious at work, and he didn't fish at all.
"A Hollywood movie character, similar to Spider-Man, is drawn by one person." Qin Muchu explained.
Lao Mouzi nodded, probably understanding.
"I heard that this movie also has Zhou Jiaolun and Liu Xiqian?"
"Well, they are two men and two women......
Zhang Yimou suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Qin Muchu looked at Zhang Yimou.
"It's fine."
Zhang Yimou frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
The two walked again.
"Xiao Qin." Zhang Yimou still spoke.
"You say."
"We have worked together in "Golden Armor", and he is a very hard-working actor, polishing well, guiding properly, and it is still very good to perform when encountering the right role, just like in "Golden Armor"." Zhang Yimou said slowly.
These words seemed to be praising Zhou Jiaolun, but Qin Muchu always felt a little strange.
And why suddenly evaluate Zhou Jiaolun?
"Well, I know that."
Zhang Yimou continued:
"Liu Xiqian was recommended to me a few years ago, so I watched some of her plays, hmm...... This kid lacks a bit of spirituality, it's a little unreal, I'm afraid I'll have to hone it in movies......"
Qin Muchu probably figured out what Zhang Yimou wanted to say.
"Director Zhang, I'm a science fiction film, and their roles don't have such high acting requirements."
"Oh, that's fine."
Zhang Yimou frowned.
He commented on Zhou Jiaolun and Liu Xiqian just to tell Qin Muchu euphemistically that it was a bit difficult for these two actors to pick the main pillars of the movie.
Especially the kind of realistic drama films made by Qin Muchu, which are different from the wonderful fights of action movies, the lingering of romance films, and the funny of comedy films.
Its selling point is the plot, which arouses the audience's inner emotional resonance through the story, and has high requirements for the actors' acting skills.
Sci-fi films are much better, focusing on brain holes and magnificent scenes......
Lao Mouzi didn't think about it anymore, his eyes widened:
"Sci-fi? Is your new film sci-fi? β
"yes, sci-fi." Qin Muchu nodded.
Lao Mouzi's expression became more entangled than when he just heard that Zhou Jiaolun and Liu Xiqian played the leading roles.
Science fiction films can be said to be a desert in China, and there are no science fiction movies that can be called excellent.
"What kind of film is it?"
"A Tale of a Sception......"
Qin Muchu talked about the general plot of "Inception".
Lao Mouzi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but his eyes became brighter and brighter:
"If this story is going to be filmed, it is probably all special effects, right?"
From Qin Muchu's simple description, he can probably imagine those fantastic and unrealistic scenes, which require special effects.
"Not really."
Qin Muchu shook his head,
"Most of them are real shots, and only some special effects are used for those that can't be filmed in real life."
"Real shots? That's a lot more expensive than special effects. β
Lao Mouzi was shocked again,
"And some scenes are hard to shoot, right?"
"The cost is much higher, but it's more realistic, as for how to shoot, I've thought about it, and it should be able to achieve the desired effect."
Qin Muchu said that there was no need to worry.
He had considered all these things before filming.
However, he has thought about how to shoot it, but he still has no idea how to shoot it beautifully and with texture.
It's like knowing the answer in the language test, but the writing is ugly.
The three of them couldn't say anything about this matter clearly, so they asked Zhang Yimou:
"There are still some questions about the picture, I want to ask you, why don't you have time to guide me one day?"
Zhang Yimou thought about it and gave the answer:
"Although the opening ceremony is over, there are still a lot of things, wait for the closing ceremony, and then I will go to your crew to see and learn ......"
β¦β¦
Qin Muchu and Zhang Yimou separated when they arrived at the parking lot, there was a driver waiting for him, and Qin Muchu also got into his car.
"Knock" closed the car door, and just about to start, there was a sudden movement in the back row.
"Is the interview so late?"
Zeng Li's sleepy eyes were worried, and he covered his mouth and yawned.
"You didn't go back with Liu Xiqian?" Qin Muchu asked.
Before he went to the interview, he asked Zeng Li to be with Liu Xiqian, but he didn't expect her to wait for him in the car.
Zeng Li stretched his body, stretched his waist, and joked:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go home tonight in Sissi's car."
"Quite possibly." Qin Muchu nodded matter-of-factly.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zeng Li opened the car door, got out of the car, and patted Qin Muchu's window:
"I'll do it, I just slept for a while."
Qin Muchu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't insist.
"Okay."
With that, he moved to the co-pilot.
Zeng got out of the car, adjusted the seat, and slowly started the car, the lights illuminated the darkness, and she smiled.
"I'm home."
β¦β¦
Early the next morning.
"Looking at the weather forecast last night, Hengdian said that there was heavy rain, you bring an umbrella and a long sleeve, maybe it will cool down when it rains."
Zeng Li was packing Qin Muchu's luggage.
Go to Hengdian to explore Yang Mi's luggage.
Virtuous to Qin Muchu felt a little guilty.
There is a feeling of going out to flower in front of my wife, and then my wife will help.
"What's wrong?"
Zeng Li raised his head and found that Qin Muchu was staring at him in a daze.
"It's fine." Qin Muchu shook his head.
Zeng Li gave him a strange look, then handed over the backpack.
Qin Muchu only went to Hengdian for two days this time, and he just needed to prepare two sets of clothes for washing, and he didn't need a suitcase.
"Here, you'll see what's missing."
"Nope."
Qin Muchu directly pulled the zipper.
He was next to him just now when he was packing his things, and it was very complete.
"Then let's go, we'll be flying in two hours." Zeng Li glanced at his watch and reminded.
"Okay."
Qin Muchu agreed, put on his bag, and walked outside with Zeng Li.
"I'll give me a message when it's time to get there."
Zeng Li hugged Qin Muchu.
"Just hug it?"
Qin Muchu kissed Zeng Li in stunned eyes.
For a long time, the lips parted.
Zeng Li's face was red, his breathing was disordered, his eyes were full of water, and he twisted Qin Muchu angrily.
"Hey, hey, let's go."
Qin Muchu smiled, and finally touched Zeng Li's face, got into the car and set off.
β¦β¦
Hengdian.
Three women and one man came out of the airport.
Qin Muchu glanced at Liu Xiaoli, he had never seen her so pleasing to the eye......
No, it used to be pleasing to the eye, but today it is especially pleasing to the eye.
With Liu Xiaoli following, Liu Xiqian can't run to Yang Mi's room to be a light bulb at night.
Liu Xiqian is not sensible, Liu Xiaoli always has to take care of her daughter.
Suddenly, the face in the line of sight changed, and it was replaced by Liu Xiqian.
"What are you looking at?"
"I see you ......"
Qin Muchu stopped, his words sounded a bit like foul language, and he changed his words:
"Look at the car, the car is coming."
After saying that, he immediately beckoned, and a taxi stopped.
Li Xiqian's assistant Cindy immediately stepped forward and put the luggage in the trunk.
Although Liu Xiqian felt that something was wrong, she also put on a mask and got on the bus.
Qin Muchu sat in the co-pilot and gave the driver the name of the hotel.
The taxi started, and the driver looked in the rearview mirror, and then at Qin Muchu:
"You're here to film, right?"
The three women in the back seat didn't speak, and Qin Muchu pushed his sunglasses:
"You see that?"
"Hehe, I run to the airport every day, I don't have any other skills, but I'm very accurate in looking at people. You can tell at a glance who is here to play and who is an actor who is filming.
Your temperament, the little beauty in the back is still wearing a mask, she should be an actor, you are her agent and assistant. β
"You guessed it right." Qin Muchu followed him and said.
Probably the drivers like to talk nonsense, and they can talk non-stop if they have a talk:
"I can still tell she's a newcomer, the kind of person who is famous, right?"
"How do you see that?" Qin Muchu asked.
The driver thought he had guessed correctly, and with some pride, explained:
"Celebrities have RVs when they become famous, so they don't need to take a taxi, and those who don't have a name at all don't need to wear masks."
There is some truth to that.
But it doesn't apply to them.
Considering that it is not good to say that people are "famous", some young actors are not very famous, but it is taboo for others to call him "small", and saying it is like lighting a barrel of explosives.
This kind of person driver has also encountered, so he added:
"It's okay, it's already very good to be a little famous, big stars come over like this, maybe this drama will become a big hit after filming, there are many actors like Hengdian.
Yes, you know Zhang Songwen, right? A particularly popular actor, acting in the movie.
I used to be down-and-out in Hengdian, and I was a trick. Later, he was taken by a big director and acted in a movie, and he became popular all of a sudden, and your conditions are much better than him now. Zhang Songwen ...... at that time"
The driver counted Zhang Songwen's past, but he didn't notice that the eyes of several people in the car became a little strange.
Especially Qin Muchu.
He saw Zhang Songwen's downfall back then, but he didn't know a lot of things the driver said, but the driver was like a treasure
Could it be that you know Brother Wen?
"How do you know?" Qin Muchu asked.
"Who doesn't know this in Hengdian, it's spread all over the place, those group performers talk about these things every day, they all want to be Zhang Songwen, and there are posters of Zhang Songwen hanging on the bedside."
The driver pouted.
Qin Muchu shook his head, a little emotional.
Unexpectedly, Brother Wen has also become a major spiritual pillar for the Hengdian group performers.
"You don't think it's realistic, do you?"
The driver misunderstood what Qin Muchu meant by shaking his head:
In fact, they also know that how can they have such good luck just like Zhang Songwen, which made the big director take a fancy to him.
But this place doesn't have any dreams, and it really can't survive.
They don't want to be like Zhang Songwen, No, like this girl,"
The driver pointed to Liu Xiqian behind him,
"It's just a matter of signing with an entertainment company."
β¦β¦
The taxi stopped in front of the hotel and left.
Qin Muchu was texting Zeng Li, and Liu Xiqian came over:
"Did you tell Mimi?"
"I didn't say it, I went directly to the crew to surprise her in a while." Qin Muchu put away his phone.
"That's what I thought too."
Liu Xiqian nodded with a smile, and looked at Liu Xiaoli again:
"Mom, are you going to visit the class with us?"
"I'm not going."
Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said to Qin Muchu again:
"Xiao Qin, after you finish your visit, call Mimi, and Auntie invites you to dinner."
"Please eat? You're so welcome, Auntie. β
"Yes, I haven't seen Mimi for a long time, and I miss her. Then say so, Auntie will send the location of the hotel to Xi Qian at that time, and you can come directly. β
Liu Xiaoli said so, and Qin Muchu could only agree.
"Shall we go now?" Liu Xiqian was a little impatient.
"Okay."
Qin Muchu's luggage is just a backpack, and it is not heavy.
And his bag won't necessarily be in the room he just opened tonight.
Liu Xiqian's luggage is all with the assistant, and she can leave at any time.
"Mom, let's go." Liu Xiqian said hello
"Wait a minute, Cindy, you go with Xiqian, buy some things on the way, it's not good to visit the class empty-handed." Liu Xiaoli said.
This Qin Muchu was really negligent.
"That baggage ......"
Cindy wanted to say that Liu Xiqian and the others would wait for her, but Liu Xiaoli said directly:
"Give it to me, I'll take it."
"Oh, good."
With that said, there is nothing wrong with that.
The three of them went directly to the crew of "Xiansan".
And Liu Xiaoli looked at the backs of Qin Muchu and her daughter, her eyes flickering.
Since she learned about his relationship with Zeng Li, she didn't feel comfortable letting her daughter be alone with him.
