Chapter 43: There's a lot of time anyway
Su Changqing is not in a hurry to return to Beijing, what is there to be anxious about, come, be happy, anyway, there is a lot of time.
Now that he had gone home, he would stay longer, and sometimes he would wander around the places he used to play, such as the grove behind his house, where he remembered burying the slingshot he had caused trouble when he was ten years old, and then forgetting to take it out.
Later, the place was bulldozed and a neighborhood was built.
Most of my childhood memories are like a layer of white fog and vague.
But Su Changqing clearly remembered that in the autumn not long after the start of the second grade, the maple leaves were already red, and he and his cousin played a game of nurse injections in the forest.
She insisted on giving Su Changqing an injection first, and she didn't allow him to hesitate before picking up her pants and using a branch to get an injection.
When it was Su Changqing's turn to give her an injection, she played tricks, laughing and running around, so Su Changqing chased after her very persistently.
This seems to be the first time that a woman has taken advantage of it.
Later, my cousin really became a nurse and gave injections every day.
Some time ago, Su Changqing sent her money to treat her breasts, and it was said that the effect was very good.
Originally, he wanted to go to condole, but in the end he didn't go, after all, his mood was different from back then.
He also went to elementary school, junior high school, and high school, and the campus that had not yet opened was empty, but he didn't expect it to be much smaller than he remembered.
There is not much emotion of revisiting the old place everywhere, but there is a kind of solemnity and loss of looking at the remains.
I was grinding at home until the tenth day of the new year, and I insisted on installing a phone for my parents, and I originally wanted to rely on it after the fifteenth, but my mother was impatient at first: "Why don't you go back to work well, what are you doing sneaking around all day long?"
It seems that he can't be nostalgic for his family, so Su Changqing had to pack up and return to his courtyard house in Beijing.
On the fifteenth, the vegetables were ordered outside, and Hu Ji, Xu Fan and Liu Bei were called, and everyone gathered in Lotus Hutong to celebrate the festival together.
Su Changqing specially called Chen Jin and four contracted models, which can be regarded as a unit party.
didn't call Du Keke, because by the way, he also had to mobilize the "Model Team".
Xu Fan was very satisfied with the script and decided to play the female designer.
Hu Ji has already begun to have an affair with Su Changqing, of course he has nothing to say when he participates: "You can start writing a storyboard plan, I hope you don't release my pigeons again this time." β
Liu Bei not only starred but also served as a producer, and the money was brought by her, which is also a rule.
Whether the movie is good or not and the script is very important, but it also depends on how the director shoots, and now Su Changqing is a choreographer and director, and it is his responsibility to shoot this drama well.
The plot of "Model Team" is very simple, a model team in a second-tier city in Hebei Province is facing disbandment due to fund disconnection, captain Liu Bei, designer Xu Fan, and Taizhu Hu Ji are not convinced, and they have to raise funds to maintain it, this is not only a matter of ideals, without the model team, everyone will have no source of livelihood.
After a pledge meeting, the three backbones showed their powers and took the models to raise money separately, but it turned out that their careers were not as popular as they imagined, and they were even a little out of touch with this society.
Such a plot is too dark to pass the trial, and the ending must certainly be brighter, but it can't lose its style.
The ending is handled a little magically, when the misunderstanding is resolved, when the models walk out of the detention center, a bus with flashing lights comes, full of carnival flavor, and takes them straight to Beijing.
The bells and drums rang out in unison, the horns sounded throughout the Forbidden City, the luxurious catwalk in front of the Taihe Hall was ready, and the girls burst into tears in the cheers of the crowd, and then swayed to their heart's content, happily walking a Forbidden City show.
I don't know if I can take a show in the Forbidden City, anyway, such an ending is happy, and it has a bit of an allegorical flavor, which seems unfathomable and profound.
Is this plot original?
Not quite.
Just like "Crazy Stone" is the British movie "Two Big Smoking Guns", this "Model Team" was also picked up by Su Changqing from another movie, but ordinary people can't see it.
It is not easy to fail in the footsteps of successful people, which is why he is confident in "The Princess's Decision", because the plot of "The Redemption of Shojiak" and "Prison Break", if you don't deliberately imitate the classic shots, no one can see it, not to mention that these two films are works a few years later.
Liu Bei looked very moved: "I like this ending, the whole process is gray, and it finally ends in the blooming of the half-city ceremonial flowers, and I really burst into tears." β
Xu Fan: "It seems that Director Su is planning to balance the two dramas at the same time, "The Princess's Decision" borrows the Forbidden City, and you will arrange the finale there." β
Funds are tight, Su Changqing had no choice but to make overall plans: "We have to make full use of resources and not waste a single cent of funds, if the producer over there does not agree, you can pay some money, which is reasonable." β
Hu Ji snorted: "How can you make you pay, the two sisters and brothers of the Ximen family have their eyes shining when they see you, you broke the bones of the other brother, and as a result, I also lost you a watch, what about the watch?"
This gossip is so exciting, Xu Fan and Liu Bei both came to the spirit: "Why did Director Su beat the investor's brother?
Su Changqing ignored them.
Hu Ji's tone is not good, this girl is too naΓ―ve, can you say such sour words in public?
Su Changqing didn't say anything about the watch, and it had already been sold, either Ding Jialuo or Ximen Zhao told her.
This Ximen Sakura's mouth is also tee-loose, like the waist of the old cotton pants.
Su Changqing didn't hear it, and continued his topic: "We are doing business-to-business, and the money for repairing the Forbidden City is nominally four-dimensional, and then we have to rely on us, what's wrong with me using some space?"
Hu Ji looked at his wrist and smiled: "Where's the watch?"
Su Changqing rolled up his sleeves: "Where did the watch come from? What do they do when I beat people? Do you praise me for playing well and accurately? Ridiculous, come on, let's raise a glass and go first to celebrate and reach cooperation." β
Hu Ji glanced at him without raising his glass, and took a sip of his own.
This film has little investment, so it has to save costs according to local conditions, for example, the office location of the model team can be filmed in Lotus Hutong, so that the artists can handle it simply, and just make it look like a bungalow.
It is not enough to shoot four contracted models for this movie, Su Changqing has the contact information of the other eight models, and it is not difficult to choose the right one to recall and continue to cooperate.
The girls who dared to sign up for the swimmer model were basically one out of a hundred, and these girls were selected by Su Changqing with the aesthetic vision of thirty years later, in a sense, they were more like modern models than some supermodels at that time.
This is an aesthetic advantage.
In addition, this film follows the style of realistic pseudo-documentary, except for the final Forbidden City show, the actors have to make up themselves, use natural light, and Su Changqing takes his own photography, which is more down-to-earth than shooting MV at the beginning of his business, so that it will appear more real, and it can also save a lot of money.
Twenty years later, Zhang Yimou and Ken Takakura collaborated on a film "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", which describes a father who visits places he visited before his death after losing his son.
Therefore, Su Changqing will take Liu Bei, Xu Fan and Hu Ji to shoot in three stories, and really enter the society and shoot a realistic version of the rescue model team.
"When you need a professional actor, you can call a friend to make a cameo, Xiaoyi can't star, it's always okay to make a cameo, He Bing is Xu Fan's classmate, just come out and walk around if you have nothing to do, and that Pu Cunxi, let's play a policeman, we can still afford the carriage and horse fare." β
"I had a plan in mind when I wrote the script, and I started the film when I sorted it out, in short, I filmed the scenes that everyone cooperated with, and then whoever of you three was free I took to run her story. Su Changqing stood up and raised his glass: "Let's raise a glass together and read it with me: On the night of the full moon, blood is an alliance, the ambition of Lingyun rises, and the pride is indulgent, one day Le Ma will rest and draw my four-dimensional territory map with a smile!"
Everyone laughed: "On the night of the full moon, blood is an alliance......"
Hu Ji finally smiled: "Are you going to rebel?"
