I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 214 212. For Art! (Thanks to the leader of "Ye Wang"!)
At night, under the grape arbor.

"So let me tell you, the piano is too talented, you know? If you want to learn, you can, but if you find that your child doesn't like it or has no talent, you should move the piano away. The farther away the better, my cousin is now I hate the piano so much that my teeth itch..."

Holding a glass full of red wine, Lang Lang, blushing, answered Yang Mi's idea that "the two of us want our children to learn piano in the future".

At this moment, all the dishes on the table were eaten up.

Various bones and food scraps were placed on the table in a mess.

There are five or six red wine bottles on the side.

Everyone didn't choose to eat in the restaurant today.

The main reason is that the grapes in the yard have entered the mature stage. This way of eating under the grape trellis can almost be said to be the childhood of many people.

In addition, there is a fan blowing here, even if it is a little hot, it is comfortable to eat.

There are mosquitoes.

Wang Sicong's blood type is B, and his thighs are almost swollen right now.

Before the meal, Yang Mi had already cut a few bunches of small grapes and put them in ice water to chill, now she took them out, the grapes were like wine, chatting while eating, talking freely, quite happy.

Lang Lang is a very talkative person.

Personality is not introverted.

Originally, including Zhang Qianqian, both of them thought "ah, the artist must be very cold".

It turned out that it wasn't the same thing after drinking the wine.

Although Lang Lang is an artist.

Also famous.

But regardless of his temper or character, he has a very strong bold style.

He even asked before the meal:
"Isn't it white?... Is it okay to eat sauerkraut without ordering white?"

But at dinners with Jay Chou, there is usually no one with liquor.

Jay Chou wants to protect his voice, but when he gets drunk, he will become a little self-willed.

The more you refuse to do something, the more you will do it.

So when I first met Wang Sicong, we went out to have a meal together. After Jay Chou drank half a catty of baijiu and vomited up the toilet, everyone basically agreed that he would never drink baijiu during his dinner.

Human dishes, the addiction is still big.

The most important thing is to vomit more.

It was really the first time Xu Xin saw a person who grew up so big that he could spit up and block the toilet.

Although Jay Chou repeatedly explained that he wanted to brush his teeth after throwing up, but accidentally dropped the toothbrush into the toilet, which caused the blockage...

But the question is who will believe it.

Tell the dog that the dog doesn't believe it.

But now hearing Lang Lang's words, Wang Sicong poked Xu Xin who was looking down at the script with his elbow:

"Hey, why don't you learn the piano? I think what the old wolf said makes sense. Simply, boys learn Sanda, girls learn the violin... how elegant the violin is!"

"!"

"!"

In a word, both Jay Chou and Lang Lang cast their gazes over.

"Speak well and don't swear!"

Following Xu Xin's mantra, Jay Chou showed a signal of obvious dissatisfaction:
"In terms of elegance, what can compare to a piano!?"

"No, I don't agree with you if you say that the violin is simple, or that it is easy for girls to learn the violin. How elegant is that thing? Can it be as elegant as the piano? Although it is quite elegant...but it must not be as elegant as the piano. That's for sure."

"Uh……"

Hearing what the two said, Wang Sicong opened his mouth...

After finding out that the verbal battle against the Confucian scholars was a bit overwhelming, I quickly confessed:
"I said it wrong, I said it wrong, come, come, drink, drink..."

"Punish one yourself."

Just after Jay Chou finished speaking, Lang Lang waved his hand:

"One is not enough, three are enough... so, come, come, I'll fill you up... just this one glass. After drinking one glass, I'll make a mistake on the piano for you, okay?...Don't stare, In this way, let me make a statement first, okay?"

With that said, the pair of hands worth 8000 million clasped their fists together and arched upwards:
"Sorry, my friend was wrong, I apologize for him!"

"Pfft...hahahahaha..."

Jay Chou on the side laughed like crazy.

Then he pointed at Wang Sicong tremblingly:
"Drink!"

"..."

Wang Sicong was really speechless.

Northeast Jiumengzi Jiawan coaxed the king.

These two people are also so social.

Fine……

A glass of red wine was poured into the young master's mouth.

Putting down the cup, he picked up a clear cucumber stick, and he glanced at Xu Xin again:
"Hey, you're boring now. We're chatting happily. What kind of script are you reading?"

Hearing this, Xu Xin put down the Immortal Sword script that had just been printed out, and picked up the wine glass:

"Don't watch it. Come, drink and drink..."

"...I just fined one myself."

"Isn't it three? You still owe two... Eh? Why is your glass of wine still full?"

"Nonsense, I just poured it myself."

"Who saw it? Did you see it? You didn't drink it?...Drink it! What the hell are you raising fish! Hurry up!"

"roll roll roll……"

"Hahahahaha..."

There were bursts of laughter again in the small courtyard.

Yang Mi, who also had blushing cheeks after drinking, handed over a grilled shrimp at this time.

"Give."

Xu Xin turned his head and took a bite.

The two began to spread dog food.

The three single dogs I got were full of disgust.

Zhang Qianqian was fine, but now that the wine was strong, she was a little dizzy.

There was no one else tonight, Xu Miao went out to socialize, and Xu Daqiang had dinner with his future in-laws.

Knowing that the two children were "engaged", the expression on the father-in-law's face was very strange.Happy and disappointed at the same time... Xu Daqiang went up with two bottles of Moutai from the car.

I don't intend to come back tonight.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Lang Lang, who had time to go to the toilet, opened Xu Xin's "screening room" because he was not familiar with the environment.

Since "Not Drunk", that place has become the tender hut for Xu Xin and Yang Mi.

When I have nothing to do, what I like to do most is to buy two movies and get back on the sofa inside.

Cuddle up and watch a movie or something.

Of course...it started with serious movies.

But Yang Mi... how should I put it, sometimes she has a big brain.

There is also a heart that is not satisfied with "loneliness".

After coming and going, I dislike the 75-inch screen that Xu Xin originally made, which is not effective, and the clarity of the projector is not good.

Still can't connect to computer...

A [-]-inch screen was specially purchased, and a computer was added here.

The kind that can be connected to the Internet.

As for what movies to watch online with a computer...

You'll have to ask her that.

Anyway, the sound insulation effect of the room is quite good, as long as the door is not opened, most people can't hear the sound.

After Lang Lang saw the things inside, he was stunned for a while.

After going to the bathroom and coming out, he suddenly asked:

"Hey, can you watch movies in that room?"

"..."

Yang Mi's heart skipped a beat instinctively.

Just when I was about to find an excuse, I heard my boyfriend say something silly:
"Yes. The [-]-inch curtain looks comfortable. What's the matter? Want to watch a movie?"

"Let's go, the meal is over, and the wine is not enough. I saw whiskey in the tea room just now? I have a box of authentic Cuban cigars in my car. Before we met, the old Maozi invited me to play to celebrate When World War II was won and the president changed, the Cuban ambassador gave...whiskey + cigars, is that the whole deal?"

It's okay if he doesn't mention it, but when he mentions it, Jay Chou and Wang Sicong's eyes light up.

"What brand?"

Hearing Jay Chou's words, Lang Lang said directly:
"It must be authentic Cohiba! Cuban authentic, that is a national gift for Lao Maozi!"

"Damn it! Good stuff... Go, go, get it together. That whiskey was given by me, and Lao Xu doesn't even know how to drink it. It's authentic Macallan whiskey! Go and go..."

Whiskey, cigars.

The combination of the two words immediately made the men present feel agitated.

"..."

But Yang Mi's eyes were strange.

After thinking about it, she said:
"Then let's go... Then what, I'm going to turn on the air conditioner, and the room hasn't been used for a long time, so I'll re-spread the sofa sheet first, so you won't have to smoke a cigar before burning my fabric sofa... ..."

"I'll buy it again when it's hot, what's...uh..."

Seeing his girlfriend's suddenly "dangerous" eyes, Xu Xin quickly shut up.

He also seemed to remember something...

The others didn't think much of it at the moment.

Mainly because the yard is also hot.

Wang Sicong was blocked by Lang Lang's body, and the wind was still less.

In addition to drinking, the blood flow speeded up, and he was so hot that he was sweating right now.

Simply came the sentence:

"Old Xu, find me some of your clothes, I'll change. It's too hot."

"Okay...Old Wolf is going to get the cigars and wheels, you and Lao Wang help my sister-in-law clear the table, and I will get the clothes."

It's not good to slap your butt after eating and leave.

The two of them had no opinion.

As for Yang Mi...

She had run to the home theater room.

The time when the computer was turned on made her days feel like years.

Fortunately, there is nothing in this computer, and the boot speed is not very slow.

And after turning on the projector and turning on the projector, she didn't have time to open the curtain, she faced the white wall, took the mouse and quickly opened the D drive, found a folder named "Learning Materials", and clicked the right mouse button... …

When she moved to the word "delete", she still felt a little distressed...

After all, there are still a few beautiful series in it... very good-looking.

But right now, I don't care that much anymore.

"Click."

successfully deleted.

Empty Trash!
Then I opened the BIT and emptied all the seeds inside.

Then I turned on the player and cleared all the playlists...

Oh yes, the shortcut folder label in the start menu has also been deleted!

Professional is more professional than professional!
"call……"

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did I have time to unfold the [-]-inch curtain.

Looking at the clean WINDOWS XP, I smiled with satisfaction.

Then, Xu Xin and Lang Lang from over there also walked in.

Yang Mi turned her head and said with a smile:

"Then you guys do it, I'm going to read the script."

Xu Xin, who didn't know anything about his girlfriend's extreme stretching just now, was stupid and asked:

"Don't you read it? After drinking...why do you still read the script?"

"You have to be ready. But don't drink too much, I have to talk to you at night."

"Know it."

The heartless Young Master Xu sat in front of the sofa, looking at the wooden box in Lang Lang's hand with a touch of curiosity:

"Is this a national gift?"

"That's right, look, isn't it? The Castro logo is still there... Well, it's just exposed to the wind and the sun... It seems that this thing needs to be stored under the same stable conditions as red wine. I don't know if the taste has changed. Change... I don't quite understand, do you understand?"

"I don't know... I just know that this thing can't pass through the lungs."

"It's okay, I'll ask them later... what are we watching?"

"Hmm... what do you want to see? All I have here are the film copies that Xiying Studio gave me."

He pointed to the fifty or sixty film boxes on the shelf:
"This screen is too big, and movies that can be downloaded from the Internet are projected on it, and the clarity is quite poor. If you want to watch it, it's best to watch it on film. But these are old movies..."

"Old movies are fine."

Lang Lang nodded:

"Your room really has the feeling of watching movies in the square of the Cultural Palace when we were young...Let me see..."

He walked up to the row of boxes.

"Heaven and Earth Heroes", "Kung Fu", "Old Well", "Yellow Earth", "Farewell My Concubine"...

"Shall we watch "Farewell My Concubine"? I haven't watched that movie properly yet."

"...?"

Xu Xin was taken aback:
"Haven't you seen Farewell My Concubine?"

"I've seen it, but when I was very young, I watched it in the video room with my classmates. I remember that Ge You was a second chair. Later, when I went abroad to talk about our movie with foreigners, many people would talk about this movie."

"Okay, then "Farewell My Concubine"."

Xu Xin took the film box and put it on the projector.

The original copy of the West Film Studio has a very good texture.

Jay Chou and Wang Sicong, who had finished their work, also walked in.

There were also glasses and a bottle of whiskey in his hand.

"Where are the ice cubes? Do you have any ice cubes at home?"

"Take it from the kitchen."

So, busy, and finally adding the iced grapes brought by Zhang Qianqian, sliced ​​watermelon, etc., the four gentlemen closed the door, secretly turned on the desk lamp in a corner, and each had a glass of whiskey , lit a cigar.

There was smoke.

"Farewell My Concubine..."

Leaning on the comfortable sofa with a cigar in his mouth, Jay Chou shook his head with some emotion:
"Pity……"

"What a pity?"

Lang Lang asked while looking at Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi under the camera.

Wang Sicong on the side shook the amber-colored wine in the glass under the light, and said:

"Zhang Guorong..."

With that, he continued:

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I have never been able to get Zhang Guorong's point, do you understand? They all say that he is good at acting, good at acting, and good at singing... His song, I just sing "A Chinese Girl" "Ghost"... Oh yes, and "The Wind Continues to Blow" I think it's good, and the others feel that way. Anyway, to me, he's not a god."

Fans of Zhang Guorong must not be happy to hear this.

But today there are no outsiders.

Small talk.

"Especially this "Farewell My Concubine"...including Chen Kaige as well. I don't think this film is any better..."

While speaking, the screen has turned to black and white.

With that, he asked:

"Old Xu, is this movie awesome?"

Xu Xin nodded, exhaling bitter smoke:
"Pfft... very awesome."

"...Where is Niubi?"

"Well……"

Seeing the prostitute played by Jiang Wenli walking forward with a child, and pushing away a shot of a client, he thought for a while, pressed pause, and then started to go backwards.

All three were a little puzzled.

Seeing Xu Xin rewind the camera to the black and white segment, which is when Jiang Wenli first appeared on stage, he continued:
"Let's not talk about professional things, you pay attention to the changes in her expression..."

Looking at Yanhong, a prostitute walking forward with her child in the hustle and bustle of the overpass in the camera, Xu Xin said:

"Attention, when the prostitute comes on stage, you pay attention to the smile on her face and the changes behind it."

After the words fell, the client's voice sounded:
"Yo, isn't this Yanhong?"

Yan Hong, played by Jiang Wenli, walked forward with her son in her arms and smiled.

But she didn't stop, and kept going.

But the client put his hand on her face.

With one movement, the smile on Yan Hong's face disappeared, and following the words "I haven't seen you, you miss me to death", she slapped away the hand that was placed on her face.

Then keep going.

The client was still following, seeing her walking fast, he stretched out his hand to stop her:

"Ehhh..."

But when Yanhong saw that she was blocked, she pushed the client away rather rudely.

The client was a little annoyed, and when Yanhong walked away, he showed a fierce expression, pointed at Yanhong and cursed:

"Stinky bitch!"

Then, there is a scene showing the prosperity of the overpass.

Among all kinds of operas, gongs and drums, human voices, and noise, Xu Xin explained:
"Did you see that Yanhong picked up the child. Old Wang, think about all the scenes of her appearance... She didn't say a word, right? Even the name was called out by the prostitute, but what do you think of this girl now?" How does the character feel?"

"Well……"

Looking at the children with smeared monkey faces doing somersaults in the picture, Wang Sicong thought for a while:
"A mother is strong? A woman is weak, but a mother is strong?"

Xu Xin continued to ask:

"Wheel, what about you?"

Jay Chou thought for a while and said:
"She hates her job, doesn't she?"

Then without Xu Xin asking, Lang Lang said:
"The most important thing for her is her child. From the beginning, even if she was in a hurry, she protected the child. When there were too many people, such a big child was not too heavy. She hugged her directly... just to show the child the performance ...the most important person in her life."

"Look, in this scene, Jiang Wenli didn't have a single line, and it was even just an opening scene. The three of you have already seen all kinds of life from it... In fact, this is where the movie is amazing. The use of language in this scene, For me, it can almost be said that it has reached the extreme. There are no lines, and there is no need for lines, but as long as you see Jiang Wenli's face, her movements, and expressions, you will understand a lot of things... Do you understand? And here ..."

Just as Xu Xin was speaking, the scene had switched to the troupe. The kid who just hit his head with bricks, that is, Duan Xiaolou, was being whipped by the master with his buttocks half exposed.

And in this whipping, the camera has gradually changed from black and white to color.

"Here is the peak use of the first lens. The metaphor of this black-and-white scene is actually very simple, that is, monotony and bitterness. But it suddenly and slowly turns into a colorful world. You pay attention to the child's face. Blue, blue represents Calmness, restraint, selfishness, ruthlessness...

But here this blue color is displayed in a gradient color amidst the child's screams of pain.It is oil paint, which is painted on the face.The children themselves are innocent and innocent, but they are artificially painted with such indifferent and ruthless colors.got it?This is mixed with the utilitarianism of adults... The picture is too tense!

Chen Kaige's use of lens language is different from Director Zhang's. Director Zhang likes strong, but he likes to use this kind of green embellishment among thousands of flowers to highlight the innocent, even righteous and passionate child in this environment. In the midst of it, she is being brought into a cold world where "if you learn opera, you will become a role, and if you don't, what awaits you is indifference". "

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three of them didn't speak, they just watched the footage go by frame by frame, accompanied by Xu Xin's explanation.

From the color, to the language of the camera, to the ten minutes of the opening, Jiang Wenli's transformation of acting skills for the child's future, from mother to prostitute, to pinning all hopes on the child...

Let them finally understand their own "Farewell My Concubine".

In fact, some things are like this. The difference between a layman and an expert lies in the explanation of these few words.

When Xu Xin disassembled and crushed all the things, and told them where the magic of this part was and how unconstrained was that part, the whole "Farewell My Concubine", in the eyes of the three people, was as artistic as it was Words have risen to another level.

Indeed, this work by Chen Kaige... Leaving aside the gossip, such as "This was filmed by Chen Huaikai, and he was called the director just to let his son gain a foothold", or "Ge You's fake play is real. do" or something.

Those are all speculative things, not to mention Xu Xin, even Zhang Yimou doesn't know.

There is no need to be clear.

Because, no matter what kind of gossip, it can't affect the status of "Farewell My Concubine" in film history, and even in the history of Chinese film.

There is no doubt about that.

four people.

A bottle of Macallan whiskey.

Four cigars.

In addition, the uncut 2 hours and 44 minutes of the West Film Studio's film is presented, and Xu Xin's interpretive voice runs through the whole film.

The three of them really understood it during these two hours.

After understanding "Farewell My Concubine", I also understood my own "Farewell My Concubine".

Facing Xu Xin's conclusion at the end, the conclusion that "there are 1 Hamlets in the eyes of 1 people", the three were convinced.

Indeed, this movie does.

but……

"Old Xu Niubi."

Drunk Wang Sicong sighed with emotion:
"Without your interpretation, I might not be able to understand it until now... It turns out that there are so many things in a movie."

"really."

Lang Lang also nodded:
"Although it is said that art is common, but...without you explaining it to us here, we might still not understand where the magic of the movie "Farewell My Concubine" is."

"But now there is a problem that there are still more people who don't understand~"

Staring at the camera, Duan Xiaolou's heart-piercing "dieyi", Jay Chou shook his head slightly:
"Actually, movies are the same as making music. What professional musicians hear is not the same as what audiences hear... It's like some mouth-watering songs that audiences like very much, but to musicians, those music, eh, It’s very ordinary... I don’t understand why everyone likes it so much. There is still a layer of things in between..."

"That's because they lack someone like Lao Xu who is willing to explain himself."

Wang Sicong shrugged:

"Just like today, if Lao Xu didn't explain it, I would just watch this whole. But after he explained it, I suddenly realized that I understood a lot, and I understood where the cow is in this movie... That's the so-called difference.

For example, this "Farewell My Concubine", such as "Red Sorghum"... Many people can't understand it. I used to think that the director had a problem... But when Lao Xu said this, I actually understood it.To put it bluntly, no one led him in, and someone explained it, just like when we go to class, Lao Xu told me where the movie is so good, and we immediately understood.

What kind of shots are used, and those... the shots that seem natural to ordinary audiences like us, what is the best acting skills of the actors and so on.If no one talks about it, it will be divided.You look at yours, I look at mine.People who know how to do it don't bother to talk about it, and people who don't know how to do it look at it in a daze, and they will never understand.Isn't that the reason... Uh... Hey, Old Xu! "

While talking, suddenly, Wang Sicong's eyes became excited:
"Why don't you do this thing, how about it?"

"……what?"

Perhaps it was because Xu Xin was already on top at this moment, Xu Xin was a little unresponsive.

"What?"

"Just put on a show like this."

Pointing to the cast list of "Farewell My Concubine", Wang Sicong said with a smile:

"Just interpreting these movies and so on, I think it's much more interesting than just watching them! It's like taking a class. It's very interesting to take apart these classic masterpieces and talk about them."

"Interpret... these movies?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

"correct."

Wang Sicong nodded.

"Didn't you say before that you would stay in school to teach, and then go another way? Now I suddenly feel that you are very suitable...Really, teach students how to distinguish good movies from bad ones, tell them what is good about this movie, and what is bad about it... I'm stupid!"

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up all at once.

"Hey, if this thing is done successfully, in the future...won't it be possible to decide the life and death of a movie with one word? For example. Do you know what kind of situation Wanda often encounters?... just the film scheduling business, Some movies are so fucking bad, you know? I go to the movies a lot, and I watch a lot of them before they come out... It's crazy, you know?
Those bad movies will take the form of raising the share, let the theaters push it... just feed shit to others, you know?Really, it can disgust people to death.I've always thought it was kind of fucked up to crowd out some movies that I thought were pretty good.Old Xu, if this program is successful, wouldn't you have the right to speak right away?Wouldn’t it be nice to recommend those good-looking movies, and to crush the bad ones, so as to save the movie tickets of the big guys?A word of life and death!I'm stupid, Niubi! "

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, let alone Xu Xin, even Lang Lang and Jay Chou were speechless.

"Hey, old king."

Jay Chou couldn't help reminding the excited Wang Sicong:
"Please, it sounds powerful, but... it's very offensive. You want to simply ask Ah Xin to help some ordinary movie fans improve their art appreciation skills. I think your idea is very good. But you This kind of talk is too radical! Ah Xin will offend everyone like this... Besides, you are poaching your own corner, increasing the share of theaters, and Wanda will also make money~ Is it really appropriate for you to do this?"

"Uh……"

Wang Sicong was stunned.

And just when everyone, including Xu Xin, thought it was "wrong" for him to react.

Suddenly, I heard the young master categorically say:
"Why isn't it appropriate? I don't care about increasing the [-]%, [-]% theater share... I'm doing it for art!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

To be honest, anyone who hears Wang Sicong's words will have a sense of "this person's ideological awareness is really high".

But it was too late to sigh.

The young master said again:
"Damn, who told them to feed me shit first!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

have to.

As soon as these words came out, the first half of the whole period collapsed.

After all...

The young master is still "revenging privately".

Hearing this, Lang Lang couldn't help laughing:

"Didn't Guo De just say that people always want to eat shit, but as long as they don't chew it's fine."

"Hahahahaha..."

Jay Chou burst out laughing.

After Wang Sicong was stunned for a moment, he was also happy:
"Hahahaha, I've heard this before, it's so fun! Hahahaha..."

Everyone is laughing.

Only Xu Xin.

Thoughtful...

"Let Ah Xin help some ordinary movie fans improve their art appreciation skills"?
Jay Chou's words touched his heartstrings.
