I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 160 158. The history book is small, but also very big

Xu Xin doesn't know if Jay Chou joins the Olympic song collection, will he help the team for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

But it will definitely make the big guys more enthusiastic about the Olympics, which is unmistakable.

But at this moment, his greatest contribution was to temporarily pull Xu Xin out of the uncomfortable state after the plan was rejected.

Through the movie, I can temporarily focus elsewhere.

"The editing progressed very quickly."

The two faced the two laptops, and Xu Xin said unhurriedly:
"I predict that it should be finished in late March. What about the post-production special effects? How are you doing?"

"I'm going to Tokyo this time, just to get the finished film."

"……So fast?"

"Sure, it's not a special effect for a big movie, and they don't celebrate the Lunar New Year. So it's already finished, and I can bring it to the editing company when I go and get it back."

"Well……"

Hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:
"Then you need to find someone who understands French and start subtitles in French."

"..."

The corner of Jay Chou's mouth twitched:
"You're not really going to Cannes, are you?"

"……What's the meaning?"

After Xu Xin asked, he saw his uncomfortable expression:

"While I'm confident in my music... will this screenplay... really make it to Cannes?"

After hearing this, Xu Xin suddenly laughed:

"Haha~"

"...What are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at your face..."

After clicking on the 10-minute condensed clip, he looked at Ye Xianglun and Qingyi on the screen, and said unhurriedly:

"You have to be more confident in your children, right? There's no cost anyway, it's just multiple copies, multiple subtitles. Nothing to lose, right? Our own children don't necessarily have to live by the rules set by others. Under the standard. But there is a word to describe it, which is very appropriate, called: the focus is on participation. Right?

I think this movie is very good, although Ni's acting skills may be a little weak, but in terms of story and script, it is a very clever structure.I think it's pretty good... So, don't belittle yourself, our movies are not made to satisfy everyone.You just have to find your own audience.Give it a try, maybe there will be a miracle, anyway, there is no threshold for submitting for trial.What's more... there is no miracle and nothing is lost.right? "

"……Um."

Jay Chou nodded:

"Sounds reasonable...but is there time?"

"It's in time. I asked Sister Mo, the final deadline is April 8, and there is no problem sending it before then."

"it is good."

"Okay... get out of here."

"……what?"

"Give me some time, I'll think about the Olympics."

"okay……"

Jay Chou nodded and was about to leave with his notebook, but when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said:
"Ah Xin..."

"what?"

As soon as Xu Xin turned his head, he saw Jay Chou's shy look.

"Can you speak softly? You are asking me to leave, not telling people to fuck off, so rude~"

"Damn, why are you so GAY in GAY! Get the hell out! Don't act like this~"

"Hahaha~"

I also made a joke, and helped my friends relieve their unhappiness to the greatest extent.

The rest is up to you.

……

It's normal for a good buddy to sleep at home.

Anyway, there is enough room at home.

Jay Chou slept in Xu Miao's room, and Dani slept in the guest room.

The two of them were probably tired. When Xu Xin came to his senses, there was no movement inside or outside the house.

But Xu Xin couldn't sleep anymore.

There was always one thing floating in his mind.

Or...a memorial.

People in the Celestial Dynasty know what memorials are, and things like the square book held by the emperor in film and television dramas are simply too common.

It's not that Xu Xin doesn't know what this thing looks like...he's just thinking.

Think about the fleeting inspiration in Zhang Dao's mind after he described the project as a memorial.

Always felt……

This thing is like a breakthrough.

But for a while I had no idea.

In fact, Director Zhang has always had a dispute with the people in the team, which is how to display the "paper" in the four great inventions.

At the beginning, he planned to make a large piece of paper more than 100 meters long and tens of meters wide, showing the contribution of China's artificial paper technology.But Mark Fischer on the team raised stark objections.

He believes that the reason why paper can be called paper is because it can be endowed with the characteristics of writing and recording.

And the paper more than 100 meters long and tens of meters wide...

That's not called paper.

In other words, it cannot be given the meaning of paper.

Later, after thinking of Guernica, the team finally defined the papermaking process as a painting drawn on paper with special gunpowder.

This kind of gunpowder will be laid on the paper in advance, and then hidden by a technical means, using a method similar to a picture-in-picture.When the time comes, as soon as it is ignited in the field... a copy of "Guernica" is immediately given on the paper, and then a group of volunteers, no matter if they are old people, children, Chinese people, foreigners, yellow people, white people, black people... all The people of the world come to wipe.

After a quick wipe, the flowers will reveal themselves.

Expressing a kind of war can only bring trauma, and only after eradicating the war will there be the meaning of flowers blooming.

And there is also a debate extending from it, that is whether to use a large LED screen...

The team hasn't made up their mind yet.

Of course, that's another story.

This is how the theme and main links of "paper" are designed.

But now the leader has asked, not to overemphasize the structure of the four great inventions, but to closely integrate with the world...

A normal person should be thinking about how to redo the plan...but Xu Xin didn't.

He has been stuck with the "memorial" in his mind.

Do you want to use paper?

how to use?
How to comply with the leader's suggestion.

How to show the four great inventions and some traditional elements?
These are all his considerations.

And everything, in his mind, can't get around this memorial.

Let him break down a bit.

After thinking...

Half a pack of cigarettes gone.

But he couldn't figure it out.

Why do I care so much about memorials?
His waist was a little numb from sitting at the moment, and he was full of impatience, so he stood up uncomfortably, intending to move his body.

After a long stretch, he thought for a while, and walked to the row of antique racks where the antiques were placed.

From the top, I found a large piece of paper for drawing sub-shots, took it to the table, and began to fold it front and back.

Soon, it looked like a memorial.

Then I just watched it over and over again.

Expand it to see it, close it up to see it, expand it again...and close it again...

Gradually, his face became more and more irritable.

damn it……

Why can't you figure it out?

Subconsciously, he reached for the cigarette case, only to find that...the cigarette case was empty.

"..."

With a somewhat speechless mood, he walked out, intending to go to the living room to get a new pack of cigarettes.

But it is not the door leading directly from the study to the main hall, but the door along the courtyard corridor.

The smell of smoke in the room is a bit heavy, so it needs to be released.

As soon as he went out, he felt a refreshing fresh cold air rushing towards his face.

I felt a lot more comfortable immediately.

Although the heating in the room is sufficient, it is still a bit hot after waiting for a long time.

It's going to be cool when the wind blows.

This year has come to an end, and the 4th is the Lantern Festival, and it will be over when it is over.

And if you are in your hometown, you may occasionally hear the sound of firecrackers on the street at this time... Children like to play with these things the most.Even when Xu Xin was young, he was more courageous than Fa Xiao, who was very brain-dead, and used his hands to light firecrackers...

Although they are not particularly big firecrackers, but thinking about it now is enough brain damage...

And Yanjing has not heard the sound of firecrackers for a long time.

While opening the new cigarette case, he was thinking wildly in his mind...

Simply, I won't go into the study now, just start walking in the yard.

While smoking, while walking.

By the way, the lights in the yard were turned on.

Everyone in the north knows that smoking outdoors in winter, the smoke is long and thick, is very interesting...

In order to decompress himself, Xu Xin tried his best to exhale more breath and smoke, making himself look like a fairy and smoky.

Use this childishness to distract the irritability in my heart.

Unexpectedly, the door of Xu Miao's room opened before she finished her cigarette.

Jay Chou, who hadn't slept yet, stood at the door with a puzzled look on his face:

"What are you doing?"

"Walk around... change your mind, you haven't slept?"

"No, the mattress of this bed is a bit hard, I'm not used to it."

"Oh, then I'll get a new one for you tomorrow. You can't always sleep on a soft bed, it's bad for your back."

The two chatted for a while, and Jay Chou looked at Xu Xin walking around the yard while chatting, and asked:

"Can't you think about it tomorrow?"

"I can't sleep anyway... Hey, do you know the memorial?"

Treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Xu Xin suddenly spoke up.

Jay Chou nodded subconsciously:

"I know, the imperial decree. As soon as it is unfolded, it will be carried by the heavens, and the emperor said..."

"...????"

Xu Xin was stunned. Looking at his confident science popularization, the first wordless thought rose in his mind:

"No wonder your middle school grades are so poor, you can't even pass the university entrance exam..."

Even the memorial and the imperial decree can be mistaken, you are really good...huh?

Suddenly, after the first thought, the second thought flooded my mind.

Holy decree?

Bless God?

Holy decree? ?
reel? ?
"Um?????"

"...What? Am I wrong?"

Seeing that Xu Xin stopped walking suddenly, Jay Chou who was leaning on the door frame was a little puzzled.

But Xu Xin didn't pay attention to him, but a pair of eyes fell directly on him... Jay Chou was a little terrified when he stared at him.

"Ah... Ah Xin?"

Really uncomfortable being stared at by his wolf-like eyes, Jay Chou couldn't help but speak again.

But Xu Xin's mind was quickly filled with a sudden thought.

After being woken up, without further ado, came a sentence:
"Come and help me!"

After speaking, he went directly to the study.

"Uh……"

Jay Chou was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.

As soon as I entered the study, I was a little choked by a strong smell of second-hand smoke.

After coughing, I saw Xu Xin hurriedly opened the glass door of the antique shelf where the antiques were placed, and then began to rummage through the boxes.

His face immediately turned green:
"Please, be gentle..."

He was so scared that he hurried over to prevent the porcelain from falling...

It doesn't matter if you hit Ah Xin on the head.

Antiques are broken.

Then I saw Xu Xin dig out a bunch of calligraphy and painting scrolls from the cabinet.

Pull it in the east and throw it in the west.

These are not all antique calligraphy and paintings...

A thought flashed through Jay Chou's mind, and he was speechless when he suddenly saw Xu Xin take out a roll of thick and thick reels, untie the rope, and spread it directly on the ground...

"Rely... rely on the cup! What are you doing, bad boy!"

Big Brother, did Antique let you play like this?

Are you a rug?

As the scroll unfolded, Jay Chou instinctively searched for the signature of this painting of flowers, birds and fish.

Then I saw the name on the signature:

"Guangxu Jiazi October Auspicious Day Bonnian Renyi"

Ren Bonian?
Where does the name seem to come from...

But it was too late to think, because Xu Xin had already said:

"Roll up, go over there, quick."

"..."

Speechlessly, he walked to the other end of the picture scroll drawn during the Guangxu period, he squatted down, and Xu Xin began to face the scroll.

Soon, the original single-headed scroll became a double scroll.

"What do you think this looks like?"

"...Imperial decree?"

Looking at the scroll in Xu Xin's hand, Jay Chou said something.

But Xu Xin shook his head:
"No, scroll!"

"..."

The corner of Jay Chou's mouth twitched.

Isn't what you said all nonsense?

This itself is also a picture scroll, okay?
But at this moment, Xu Xin, whose brain was already hot, ignored it and opened the scroll a little bit, revealing the painting of flowers and birds inside, and then said:

"You take the other end."

"……it is good."

The two looked at each other, Xu Xin said again:

"Look, this is our 5000-year history..."

"..."

For no reason, Jay Chou felt that the picture scroll in his hand suddenly became very, very heavy.

"You put it in, volume!"

"it is good."

Although he didn't know what his friend was going to do, Jay Chou nodded and slowly started to rewind the scroll.

But the speed is not fast, because Xu Xin's side is also very slow.

"Look, this scroll is constantly turning. It's our history! Do you understand! From Suiren's slash-and-burn cultivation, to Shennong's tasting of hundreds of herbs, the two emperors of Yan and Huang, the rule of Yao and Shun, Tang Zong and Song Zu, Dayu's water control, Shang Yang's reform , Spring and Autumn and Warring States..."

Although Jay Chou's academic performance is not very good, he also knows that Xu Xin has made many wrong timelines.

But...it's okay.

Because he already understood Xu Xin's meaning:

"History is a scroll, right?"

"Correct!"

While speaking, the scroll has already rolled to the end.

Without Xu Xin saying anything, Jay Chou started to turn around, and Xu Xin continued to say:

"In the middle of the roll, there is a piece of paper, a blank piece of paper! That represents the blank space before our civilization was born. Then...our ancestors began to write our own history on this piece of paper. It was written by man himself Do you understand? From the ancient mountains and rivers, to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties to us today... A piece of paper must have the feeling of cave murals, the elegance of ink and landscape paintings, and the children. The innocence and childishness, and the soul-stirring..."

"...Then you need a big piece of paper, otherwise you might not be able to write on it!"

"Yes!!! I just want a big piece of paper!!"

Jay Chou's words matched the thoughts in Xu Xin's mind instantly, making his eyes light up completely:
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right! It's just a big piece of paper, so long and long! It can hold up to 5000 years, and it can hold the grand plan of dominance and hard work for thousands of years!... Hahahahaha! Yes, yes, yes , That's it! That's it!!"

For some reason, Xu Xin, whose hands were completely shaking, laughed wildly, casually threw the scroll on the ground, picked up a roll of blank paper, and the box of pencils, and ignored Jay Chou. , also ignored everything in the room, and fell directly to the table.

What was in his mind no longer allowed him to think about anything else.

Picking up the paintbrush, two horizontal and two vertical, is the great cause of this great country with great achievements for thousands of years!

"..."

Jay Chou was speechless.

It just echoed the words of "pretending to be up and down for 5000 years".

In the midst of the soul-stirring, he unconsciously looked at the porcelain on the display rack at his friend's house.

Vaguely, he seemed to feel that...

I have been stuck on the national style song in my next album for a long time...

It seems to have eyebrows.

……

Olympic Building.

The main creative team almost all rushed back overnight.

The atmosphere in the large conference room was extremely dignified.

Everyone unconsciously looked at Zhang Yimou who was sitting on the chair without saying a word.

But after taking a look, he didn't know what to say, so he could only lower his head again.

Last night, Wei Lanfang told everyone about it.

So when I came this morning, many people's eyes were red and swollen.

Cry... can't talk about it.

It's just that I didn't have a good rest, and I suffered from insomnia.

It also made everyone's faces reveal a sense of irritability and loss.

"...Where is Xiao Xu?"

Zhang Wu looked around and found that Xu Xin hadn't been seen, so he asked Wei Lanfang a question.

Wei Lanfang shook his head:

"I called just now...no one answered."

"..."

Zhang Wu was speechless.

But his words brought Zhang Yimou, who was in silence, back to his senses.

Instead of asking where Xu Xin had gone, he said directly:

"Then...let's talk about it. Let's see how this plan can be changed...Let me make a statement first."

Everyone subconsciously sat up straight.

"First of all, I think the leader's words are correct... I thought about it for a long time last night. We are indeed narrow in this respect. So, next, everyone's main task is to find a way that can bear the burden, including The four major inventions to be weakened, and the carrier of the ancient chronicle part..."

As soon as the words were spoken, someone immediately wanted to speak.

want to argue.

want to fight again...

But Zhang Yimou didn't give them a chance. In one sentence, he sealed the matter:

"It's the same as opera dance. We don't just dance, we have to wear high heels and costumes on the stage...with all kinds of props and shackles...we still have to go all out, and we still have to It's better to compete...Because you remember, ordinary people can't understand these things about us. The common people only see whether you are good or not! And we are going to wear this shackle now..."

"Snapped!"

He patted the table gently:
"I still have to jump! That's it. Time is tight and the task is heavy, it doesn't matter. We have so many mature plans before, including the discarded parts, and now we can pick them up again and change them according to the requirements of the leaders. So, now Facing a few problems. The first one is time... In terms of time, I think... ten days!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

What the hell?
ten days! ?
Ten days to determine what to perform?
This... isn't this a joke?

These were only finalized a year ago. Although there are some mature small links now...but the big direction can be researched within ten days?

crazy?

But Zhang Yimou ignored their expressions and continued:
"Within ten days, we decide what we want to perform. This is number one, and number two, because we don't need the four great inventions, because we can't break the order of ancient chronicles, because we can't act freely... now it becomes number one A big question: what are we going to play in the ancient part. The second question is what are we going to do in the modern part... don't combine ancient and modern, we can't break this order, understand?

Ancient is ancient.When the ancient times are over, it is the modern age.Moreover, there must be a carrier in the middle to integrate it perfectly so that people cannot feel abrupt.It's like a sudden change in a movie.It was still playing one second, and there was a river of blood outside, and the second second suddenly started an emotional scene between a man and a woman in the palace... That won't work.It must be natural, gentle, and gentle to explain our own understanding, philosophy, and one of our romantic feelings..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

No one wants to re-report.

Since the director has said he is dead, he must follow the director's way.

and……

Ugly words.

Compared with the current director's requirements... the difficulties in the suggestions of the leaders are not even a fart.

Ancient and modern should be interpreted separately.

But also the perfect combination.

We must also express our romantic feelings and explain our own things to the world...

you said……

But human words?

The brows of a group of people can almost turn a screw.

What is this requirement?
Don't you really think you're asking too much?

Everyone is frowning.

Even, Zhang Wu had already started scratching his head.

Chen Weiya simply lay down on the chair, a little bit of a "whatever" look.

Zhai Guoqiang couldn't even swallow the big cup of tea he had to drink every morning.

Everyone was fooled by Zhang Yimou's request...

How to say?
Uncomfortable?

Can this still be called uncomfortable?

It is not too much to say that he is forced into prostitution.

We haven't had time to digest the overthrow of the plan... Shouldn't this morning's meeting be a miserable meeting?

Why did he suddenly enter the Olympiad training course on hell difficulty?
What... what are you doing?

play?

What?

In this speechless atmosphere, Zhang Yimou, who explained his ideas clearly, sat down again:
"Think about it, if you have any opinions, just mention them, and let's start discussing."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silent.

Opinion?

what opinion...

Can we digest it for a while?
Or... write the will first?
otherwise……

We are afraid of sudden death!

In this silence, the sound of the lighter gradually rang.

Cigarettes one after another, under the smoke and fire, formed a really gloomy cloud in the relatively closed room.

Hovering above the heads of the crowd, it lasted for a long time.

But the inevitability and coincidence of history are sometimes so interesting.

When every inflection point of history appears, heroes... will always emerge as the times require.

"Crack."

The office door was pushed open.

With a roll of sketches and a scroll in his hand, Xu Xin didn't even knock on the door, with greasy hair on his head, and eyes that were red and swollen with an expression of excitement. A hoarse voice that sounded like he was smoking too much said:

"Director!...Everyone is here! I have something to say!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Let alone other people, Zhang Yimou was also taken aback.

Looking at Xu Xin who was late...

Just as he was thinking about what he was going to do, suddenly, Xu Xin called his name directly:

"Sister Wei, Director Ma, come on, do me a favor! Come here..."

"Uh……"

Wei Lanfang and Ma Wen were stunned for a moment, then got up and walked to Xu Xin's side.

"Sister Wei, Director Ma, here, you two spread out!"

After handing the scroll in his hand to Wei Lanfang, Wei Lanfang looked down and found a line of writing on it:

"Reprint of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" collected by the Palace Museum"

A picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?
"In a moment, Sister Wei, you can let it go, and Ma guides you to roll. Come, come, come... let's start."

"……What's the meaning?"

Ma Wen was a little puzzled.

Then I heard Xu Xin's suppressed and incomparably excited voice:
"It's a scroll! A scroll! A picture scroll! I suddenly thought of how to interpret it! It doesn't matter if the four great inventions are overthrown, I thought of compressing everything from ancient times to the present into one link...or the behavior we have been looking for can run through I thought of that behavior from beginning to end!"

"..."

"..."

"...?"

Under the eyes of everyone who gradually became suspicious, Xu Xin turned his head and looked at everyone in the meeting room:

"It's a scroll! We can use a scroll, a real scroll, to make a behavior run throughout, just like this... Sister Wei, come on, start scrolling! Inward scrolling! Scroll up!"

"Uh……"

According to Xu Xin's instructions, the two of them each pulled a scroll and pulled out a length of about [-] centimeters of the Forbidden City gift painting. One person put it on and the other rolled it. The landscape in the entire scroll began to slowly unfold.

"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"... very long!

Everyone narrowed their eyes subconsciously, and Xu Xin pointed:
"Look at..."

He handed over a sketch of his words and placed them in the landscape:
"First, there are blank paintings, which are cave paintings, understand? The lines drawn in caves, and then walk around... Then landscape paintings, ink paintings... and then walk around...Modern paintings, oil paintings...we are not pointing at each other Are you looking for a behavior? The scroll... This scroll, the scroll that keeps rolling forward, is the behavior we want.

Don't need any transitions of the four great inventions, and don't think about how to connect them... The picture scroll itself is the connection!It is turning with one finger, from the ancient times to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States and so on. Qin Huang Han Wu... It has been turning, symbolizing that the wheel of history is rolling forward... It is turning and moving forward, and our history is also moving forward. I've been moving forward... probably like my sketches.

History is written by people, understand?At that time, these paintings will be composed and composed of people!The appearance of human beings, starting from the first line, represents the beginning of our civilization to outline and record our own history...and this picture scroll..."

Xu Xin's speech speed has always been very fast.

Even the thinking of the explanation is very jumping, not linear.

But his eyes are getting brighter.

And everyone also changed from being puzzled at the beginning to... a kind of surprise and surprise when they seemed to be awakened...

When he said "this picture scroll", his tone suddenly paused.

It seems to organize the language.

It seems to be thinking about how to define it.

After pausing for two seconds, a dazzling brilliance instantly appeared in his eyes!

"This scroll is history itself! The scroll is history, a history book!"

His tone was full of enthusiasm, and he gave the final definition:

"Perhaps the history book is too small to contain a person's magnificent life."

"But the history book is also huge! It contains 5000 years of Chinese civilization!"

"We don't need to scratch our heads about how to connect, transition, or what to do... Everything is in this scroll! How about it!?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

No one speaks.

Everyone didn't know what to say.

but……

Everyone had a deep resonance with Xu Xin's words.

yes……

History books are too small to hold a person's magnificent life.

The history book is huge, and it contains 5000 years of China!
This behavior...

This behavior throughout...

"Brilliant!"

Zhang Wu expressed his truest thoughts.

And his exclamation was put on a more real coat by Sha Xiaofeng:
"Fuck, awesome!"

　Ask for a monthly pass! !
