Chapter 288: Pseudo-Art Film
The lamb belly cooks quickly, just soak it twice. Dip it in the seasoning until the mouth is crispy and tender, chewing "squeak" sound, the texture and taste are quite good.
The mutton is also good, fat and thin, no smell, dipped in the seasoning taste to a higher level, a bite down, tender and juicy, mellow taste, special satisfaction.
To be honest, it was the first time for Li Tang to eat such delicious shabu-shabu, which was much stronger than Donglai Shun.
Seeing that Li Tang was eating well, Liu Zhan felt that he had a special face, so he picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Teacher Li, the place I picked is right, come, I will give you a drink." ”
"Yo, Mr. Liu, you're welcome! To tell you the truth, it's the first time I've eaten such authentic shabu-shabu, and I should respect you for this cup! Li Tang hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said.
Zhang Baiyi immediately participated, took the cup and said, "Everyone is their own person, let's have a drink together." ”
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, this is the beginning of the conversation.
“…… The subway of modern civilization is a gray heaviness, which can also be understood as the pressure of life. The most beautiful love, in those who enter and exit the subway, also loses the luster of roses and exudes a faint bitterness. Symbolism and reason, life and art, constitute a long train heading towards the unbright spring......"
Maybe because of the wine, Liu Zhan, who didn't drink much, talked eloquently, and glanced at Li Tang intentionally or unintentionally, as if he still had a sense of superiority.
This is probably the common problem of these stinky intellectuals, the same drama school, compared with the performance department with low performance requirements for cultural courses, the literature department that can use the pen is indeed more than a step higher in terms of cultural level and literary literacy.
On the one hand, these people envy the stars who graduated from the acting department and make a lot of money, and on the other hand, they despise each other for being uneducated.
Obviously begging people, they can't let go of their stinky shelves, and they openly and secretly show their superiority on the so-called spiritual level.
At this time, Li Tang, who graduated from acting in dramas, was the same in their eyes, he had no culture, and his understanding of the script may be very superficial, so he talked about the so-called deep meaning of creation in front of him.
In addition to showing off his superiority, Liu Zhan may have deliberately tried to use profound and professional language to stun Li Tangkan, make him feel unclear, and then let them fool him.
But what kind of person is Li Tang, the original body may indeed have no culture, but in his last life, he graduated from an American Ivy League school and worked Broadway for more than ten years, maybe his knowledge reserve is not enough to deconstruct those world masterpieces, but he can still analyze this kind of pseudo-literary movie script very well.
After finishing a tirade, Liu Zhan deliberately asked Li Tangdao: "Mr. Li, I don't know if you have any other thoughts about my script?" ”
Don't look at what he said politely, in fact, the smile on his face is very bad. Maybe in his mind, the interpretation of the script just now is undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction blow for Li Tang, suppressing Li Tang's momentum, and then making it easier for him to pay for it.
Although Li Tang couldn't see through the little abacus in his heart, he could see it clearly and flickering. It's nothing more than showing off your sense of superiority, not only to fool you with your money, but also to take the right to speak in your own hands.
Now that everyone has already laid the groundwork, how can he give up this opportunity to pretend to be forced.
So he looked left and right, and in the face of the three pairs of expectant or scrutinizing eyes, he smiled slightly and said: "I completely agree with Mr. Liu's statement, in fact, I also feel this way when I read the script......"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the three of them showed more or less disdain, and they dared to parrot!
But then Li Tang changed his words and said: "But that's how I understand it, the story in the script takes place in the subway, but the subway not only carries the story, when we withdraw our eyes from the level of the story and look down on the subway from a more detached perspective, we can clearly feel the non-subway significance of the subway." ”
The non-subway meaning of the subway, such a fresh and refined statement suddenly scratched the itch of Liu Struggle, and he hurriedly said: "What do you say? ”
And the contempt that the other two had shown before was long gone at this time, and they also looked at Li Tang curiously.
I saw Li Tang use his magnetic, dramatic voice, unhurriedly: "The fast-moving train, the flow of people coming and going, the flashing tunnel, the empty carriage...... Flow, flow, flow forever. Here, there is no sense of stability to be found, everything is like water, like wind, only a fleeting process, no solidified end......"
Hey, there's a sense of picture!
After a slight pause, Li Tang came to his own conclusion: "In modern society, the subway, whether it is the essence or the phenomenon, is a fruitless and uncertain transportation center. ”
As soon as his words fell, there was silence on the table.
After a while, I heard Liu Zhan sitting there and muttering to himself repeatedly: "There is no result, and the round trip is uncertain......"
Suddenly, I saw that his eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Tang with excitement on his face and said, "That's right! Mr. Li, your summary is very in place! That's what I thought, but it's hard to describe for a while. ”
As he spoke, he actually held Li Tang's hand tightly, and said emotionally: "Teacher Li, bosom friend, bosom friend!" ”
Liu Zhan has always regarded himself very highly, and it is rare to have such a gaffe.
Li Tang was coldly holding his hands tightly by this thing, especially when he felt that his hands were damp, and this thing was still panting and staring at himself fiercely, and his eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
He hurriedly pulled out his hand, secretly wiped it with a tablecloth under the table, and said with a dry laugh: "Actually, the concept of the subway is very good." If there aren't so many thieves, I also like public transportation such as the subway and buses. The endless flow of people, their own worried expressions, hurried footsteps. I can do nothing and just quietly watch the people in front of me come and go. It feels like a huge container that can hold everyone's sorrow, joy, sweat, and happiness! ”
"Yes, yes, that's what I meant when I wrote this book."
Liu Zhan echoed again, and wanted to grab Li Tang's hand while being excited, but fortunately, Li Tang had already prepared, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass and toasted the taciturn Diao Yinan: "Teacher Diao, I respect you!" ”
Diao Yinan hurriedly stood up, raised his glass with both hands, and deliberately lowered his glass when clinking glasses.
"Don't, don't, Teacher Diao, you're polite."
Li Tang hurriedly lowered a little, but the other party was low, and he was ...... In the end, everyone's cups were even lowered to the bottom of the table, so there was no need to be polite, so they looked at each other and smiled, and everyone's cups touched it flush, cheers!
At this point, none of the three people present underestimated Li Tang anymore. I don't dare to say that he has a high literary literacy based on his words, but at least he is not a foolish master.
"Director Zhang, I want to hear your opinion on this book?"
Li Tang's main purpose today is actually to chat with Zhang Baiyi and listen to his understanding of the script. After all, for a script to be made into a movie, the director's thinking still has to play a dominant role.
If Zhang Baibai was put aside at the beginning, he would definitely have to pretend to be a wave, although he was not from a director's department, but he was also the director of a hit drama. Since his "Carry on Love to the End" became an instant hit, he took over the filming of a CCTV Chinese New Year drama and won the silver award of the Feitian Award. Even if I don't have any works in the past two years, I have a lot of fun shooting MVs and commercials, and I don't make less money.
It is precisely with the accumulation of this aspect that it is necessary to pick up the terms used by the director, just like Liu Fenfen just now, which is absolutely like the water of the Yangtze River.
But at this time, he could only say honestly: "Mr. Li, to be honest, after reading this script, I feel that there are some things that can arouse my imagination and resonance, arouse an impulse that I want to make, and more importantly, I think the audience should like such a movie." ”
Li Tang was quite surprised to hear this, originally thought that they were some self-centered people who realized self-expression through movies, and it was rare for Zhang Baibai to look at the script from the audience's standpoint.
This alone is rare, at least not to make the script incomprehensible for the sake of so-called artistic expression.
In fact, Li Tang was most worried about this before, the reason why he defined this book as a "pseudo-art film" is because this is a commercial film script pretending to be an art film, to put it bluntly, the artistic content is not high.
Now that he knew it, he stopped selling it, and said directly: "There should be no problem with investment, and I will let my agent connect with you when I go back to the specific matters." ”
Zhang Baiyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly picked up the cup and said, "Teacher Li, thank you, thank you so much!" Thank you for trusting us. ”
Li Tang also smiled: "The main thing is that the book is good, and I also like the character of Jianbin very much." Of course, I believe that with Director Zhang's ability, he should be able to make this movie well. ”
……
In the cold winter of the ninth month, Li Tang was wearing a thin practice uniform and meticulously practicing long boxing. I saw that his eyes were sharp, his steps were light and steady, and his punches were fast and powerful.
Wu Jing is very familiar with this most basic boxing method, in his words, it is Tongzigong, and the first set of boxing methods he practiced is Changquan.
Although Changquan is the most basic boxing method, Li Lianlian is best at Changquan. Changquan has strict requirements for physical fitness and basic skills, and there are many movements such as jumping, tumbling, tumbling, and high legs. It is precisely because of the good foundation of Changquan that it is easy for Li Lian to perform any martial arts during filming.
Li Tang and Li Lianlian filmed for a month not in vain, and during this period, he also asked Li Lianlian a lot of martial arts questions and gained a lot.
For example, this long fist, in the words of Li Lianlian, as long as you practice long fist well, you can basically deal with all the fights. After all, making a movie is not a competition, and dangerous actions are strictly eliminated, as long as the fight is good-looking.
Of course, playing well doesn't mean that it's just a simple fist embroidery leg, you must have solid basic skills. Although Li Tang has a solid foundation in sanda and reacts quickly on the spot, sometimes the movements he plays are not good-looking, and to put it bluntly, the basic boxing method is not practiced well.
Wu Jing knocked on the melon seeds, while watching him practice boxing with interest, and from time to time he commented and said: "Your breath just now is not right, remember that you must be angry and dantian, and you must store dantian, so as to ensure the coherence of the action......"
"Yes, yes, yes, but it's not right to exert force just now, it's too stiff and rigid, and the force must be smooth......"
I have to say that with Wu Jing, a good teacher, Li Tang's Changquan Kung Fu has improved by leaps and bounds during this time.
At the beginning, Li Lian only told him his experience in martial arts, and it was impossible to teach him how to practice Changquan by hand, so he relied on his own exploration.
Don't look at what Wu Jing said about some martial arts terms, but there is a scientific basis for him. For example, Qi Shen Dantian, it is because the structure of Changquan is complex, undulating and turning, fast and powerful, which determines the intensity of Changquan exercise and the need for oxygen is also large. If you are not good at mastering and using the accumulation method of Qi Shen Dantian, it is easy to lead to hypoxia and make the action unable to last, breaking the balance of exercise.
There is also the method of exerting force, to put it bluntly, you can't use brute force, you must make full use of all parts of the body, and concentrate the force to one point. That is to say, it is often said that the situation is good and the trend is followed.
In fact, the reason why Chinese martial arts are called "broad and profound" contains many life truths to a certain extent. Moreover, martial arts are often referred to as "martial arts", and the highest state of "martial arts" may be philosophy.
Li Tang practiced martial arts for filming at the beginning, but now that he has practiced for a long time, he has begun to like it, of course, what is more important is to strengthen the body, such as the qi sinking dantian and accumulation of strength just mentioned, not only for the durability of this action, but also for some persistence. Not to mention anything else, in the past, when I studied the script with Xiaopang, the most critical plot may be about ten minutes, but now if you are in good shape and play well, you can even reach half an hour in twenty minutes.
In addition, every time he practiced martial arts, he often designed a plot for himself, and then immersed himself in the plot. He has summed up an experience, the so-called action scenes should not only be good-looking, but also through the subtle changes in movements and eyes, so that every shot of his own shot is full of emotion and determination. In this way, the audience can not only feel the shock of the action when watching, but also be deeply touched and moved.
In the final analysis, no matter what kind of performance, there must be emotional investment, so that the performance can be more advanced and the audience can be moved.
According to Wu Jing's guidance, Li Tang practiced twice more, Rao is count nine cold winters, and he was still sweating profusely, and the whole person was extremely comfortable.
"I'll take a shower first, call two dishes for a while, and have a drink at noon."
"Okay, but let's say it first, at most one bottle per person, not too much."
"One bottle per person? If you want to be beautiful, just one bottle, half for one person. Not enough, go out and turn left, the commissary has two pots. ”
Wu Jing came back this time, except for the first two or three days of staying at home honestly, and almost all of the time after that, he was on his side. In his words, he was tired of seeing the old man at home, so he could only come here.
But Li Tang seriously suspected that this product was to deceive Moutai to drink.
