Chapter 434 Sister, Sister.

Tianshui Mansion, a certain street, at dusk.

The filming location of "On the Road".

Li Qian and Wang Jingxue took the plane first, then transferred to the train, and finally took a van rented by the crew at the train station in Tianshuifu, and arrived at the filming location of the crew.

At this time, the crew was shooting, and Li Qian and Wang Jingxue were standing outside watching.

Wang Jingxue hadn't read the script, but Li Qian had. He asked the scene notes to look through today's shooting plan, and he knew where this scene was. For two adolescent children, it is a great liberation in life, so no matter where they go, they can smell the breath of freedom.

Therefore, for them, there is no need to study, do questions, face teachers and parents, or think about every day of the exam. City. When they are hungry, they find a place to eat, and they are happy regardless of whether it is delicious or not. When they are sleepy, they find a cheap hotel to sleep in, even if they will be bitten by mosquitoes.

Besides, they walk, walk around, they look, look around.

It was the wildest time they had experienced in eighteen years.

So, feel happy no matter what.

Simply put, this is almost the most comfortable passage in the entire movie.

After experiencing the initial happiness, they will face a series of problems successively, such as less and less money, some dangers in the world, such as someone even trying to rob them of their money, or, for example, they are trapped by a very-looking Poor liar, cheated of his already small amount of money, almost reduced to abject poverty.

In a nutshell, the whole story is like this: two little kids are tired of studying and want to elope, then they steal money, run away, then they are very happy, very happy, very happy, and then, one bad thing after another Appeared, they were stolen, robbed, deceived, until they were completely reduced to penniless homeless, the whole story seemed to be extremely depressing, even the sky seemed to be cloudy, they didn't know what to do, and then , They began to try to pick up scraps and sell them for money. Through wits and bravery with the local trash pickers, they got the first money they earned. They were very excited. Or, began to find the meaning of his life, and then, well, the time came: the boy was admitted, and then, he decided to withdraw.

You can say that the director wants to reflect on something, or you can say that he is criticizing something. In short, in all likelihood, this will be a film highly praised by professionals, but almost no theaters are willing to release it.

…………

In Tianshui Prefecture in May, the sun is shining brightly.

Jin Han ran over to pick up the camera himself, leaving assistant director Lu Shuangping to watch the monitor for him.

Li Qian leaned over to take a look, the scene was really beautiful.

A pair of young, beautiful boys and girls, each holding a popsicle, walking and looking around in the streets under the sun, and occasionally looking back at each other, each other's eyes are full of happiness brought about by freedom.

This shot is very long.

Li Qian looked at it, a little bit like scolding his mother.

This level of technology, this level of delicate handling of the story and the inner feelings of the characters, but insisting on making a film that is destined to lose money, is really...

Li Qian has never underestimated art films, nor does he think that the responsibility of art films is to make money.

The greatest function of art films is actually to expand the expressive boundaries of films—in terms of shooting techniques, film narratives, and all aspects, we can make explorations and develop more and more abundant techniques for mature commercial films. And more and more mature routines, so that commercial movies can take a lot of money.

But the problem is, like Spielberg, he made "E.T." and "Jurassic Park" first, and then went to "Hidler's List"! If it is the other way around, if Spielberg shoots "Schindler's List" first, and then "Jurassic Park", look at how much box office "Schindler's List" can leave!

So, looking at the extremely beautiful picture on the monitor, Li Qian sighed and felt helpless.

…………

In the Chinese film industry in the time and space that Li Qian once lived in, there were so-called five generations of directors, six generations of directors, and eighth generations of directors. Chronology.

Of course, there must be small circles, and they are inevitable everywhere.

For example, in the domestic film and television industry, there is a difference between the so-called academic school and the grassroots school. According to another perspective, it can be divided into art stream and commercial stream. From another angle, it can even be divided into For official and unofficial.

It is undeniable that although there are many non-professional directors who are successful, and some are even quite outstanding, but in terms of success rate, the success rate of directors who have undergone professional professional training is still higher many.

For directors from colleges, the basic skills are generally solid enough, and the theoretical knowledge is well-done. Compared with non-professional directors who are self-taught, they naturally have a great advantage.

However, in everything, there must be positive and negative, and there must be disadvantages in both advantages and disadvantages.

What stands in the way of directors with non-professional backgrounds is that apart from the difficulty at the beginning and the lack of help and support from senior brothers, what is more important is that he often can only work hard because of his lack of systematic film knowledge learning. , Relying on extraordinary talent to fight for a path, but that's the only way. Once a director like this succeeds, it is often at the genius level.

As for directors from academic backgrounds, regardless of their solid system knowledge, they have fewer innate limitations than those from non-professional backgrounds. It is inevitable that one's hands and feet will be tied. If one is not very talented, it is often difficult to break through the barriers formed by the theories and experiences taught by predecessors, textbooks, and professors.

Because of this, the industry has long ago said that directors and actors with grassroots backgrounds are most afraid of not having ideas, while those with professional backgrounds are most afraid of not having ideas.

With these two items, at least 95% of filmmakers can be directly classified as ordinary film practitioners.

And among these people, there are actually many people who are quite talented.

Jin Han graduated from Suncheon Film Academy, and he is undoubtedly an academic director.

As a filmmaker, he has been widely regarded as extremely talented since he entered the film academy. Later, his series of works, even purely commercial ones, such as the MVs for Liao Liao and He Runqing, are also very good at Known for its engravings.

Moreover, the most commendable thing is that although he came from an academic school, he has never been constrained by the things taught by the school. His movies and its images have always been unconstrained and full of imagination.

Therefore, although investors are less willing to invest money in him because of his successive failures, the evaluation of him in the industry is still very good, and Li Qian, after carefully reading his past works, is also I concluded in my heart that one day in the future, he would definitely succeed—the only difference was whether it was a few years earlier or a few years later.

So, it's only a few million. In the face of the huge film market that will come soon in the future, Li Qian would rather spend a few more million to let this guy die, and he must also win him over when he matures.

What is the most lacking in the film industry?

talent!

The film industry is a typical business where people make things happen!

Besides, although it is not easy for this kind of art film made by Jin Han to get box office in China, as long as it is done well, at least it should not be made so that most of the audience can't understand, then there is a possibility of getting back the money !

…………

Li Qian stood behind the monitor and looked at it thoughtfully, while Wang Jingxue seemed to be more attentive than him.

She stared at the performance of the two people on the monitor very seriously, especially watching her little sister's frown and smile.

Then, seeing that Li Qian was distracted, she couldn't help leaning over and asked in a low voice, "I don't know how to act. Now, in your opinion, how is Xiaolu's performance?"

…………

"How did it go? I can tell you, it's great!"

While speaking, Jin Han raised his glass, touched Li Qian, raised his head, and drank another glass of cold beer.

It was rare that the big boss came to visit the set, and the filming of the crew was progressing quite smoothly, so Jin Han ended the afternoon filming early and took Li Qian out for a drink.

Just at the night market stalls on the street, there were dozens of people cheering, almost covering up the stalls.

Li Qian, Wang Jinglu, Jin Han, Liu Ming, Lu Shuangping, Han Shunzhang, Zhu Mingyu, Wang Jingxue, Lu Rundong and others were sitting on a makeshift table. When talking about Wang Jinglu's performance, Jin Han was almost outraged.

Gradually full of wine and food, many people in the production team said hello and went back to the hotel. Even Li Qian walked around the table. In the end, only Li Qian, Wang Jinglu, Wang Jingxue, Jin Han, and Han Shunzhang were left. , Zhu Mingyu and the others were sitting.

Jin Han drank a lot, but his thinking was still quick. Seeing that others were chatting about their own affairs, he grabbed Li Qian and told him in a low voice what happened in the crew some time ago, and then repeatedly said that he was fine. son.

Li Qian didn't look angry at all when he heard the words, but said in the same low voice: "Xiao Lu told me a long time ago, it's okay! If my woman doesn't even have someone she likes, isn't it because of my eyesight?" Too bad! If he likes it, he will like it, even if he likes it for a lifetime, as long as he doesn't have any wishful thinking, I won't bother to argue with him."

But after a pause, he still said: "But, from now on, your play, my play..."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Han patted his shoulder, nodded and said, "I understand, I understand!"

Li Qian smiled and clinked a glass with him.

To a certain extent, just these two sentences mean that it is impossible for Lu Rundong to accept any roles in Li Qian's series of film and television dramas in the future-wishful thinking always has to be punished, isn't it?

…………

Until 10:30, Li Qian and Jin Han were already a little drunk, and they sat together for a long time, muttering to each other about the filming progress of the movie, their plans for the future, etc., Then Han Shunzhang was responsible for paying the bill, and everyone went home.

Back in the hotel room, Li Qian didn't even bother to take a shower, and flung himself onto the bed.

Wang Jinglu laughed and pulled him up to take a bath, and finally pushed him into the bathroom, but he also pulled him in with his backhand. The sound of water in the bathroom rang for a full thirty to forty minutes. When she came out again, Wang Jinglu His face was full of pink, while Li Qian looked contented.

Until then, the two of them lay down on the bed and whispered something.

"Tell me the truth, what do you think of my performance?"

"This... It's hard to say now. The part I watched today can only be regarded as your true performance, because you are so beautiful. In this kind of play, you can't see acting skills. In my opinion , the more you get to the back, the more you can see the acting skills. When you finish the filming, Lao Jin will definitely get the company to cut it. Then I will go and watch your later scenes. I can watch it now, but it is too troublesome to adjust the film. Besides, people like Lao Jin hate other people intervening in his filming, no good!"

"oh……"

"However, I heard what Lao Jin and Lao Han said inside and outside the meaning, and I am full of praise for your performance outside of acting!"

"Ah? Other than acting? What's the matter?"

"Pretend, just pretend...you handled Lu Rundong's matter very well. Give him a step down. In fact, you are giving Lao Jin face, and you will make everyone around you think that you are a person with weight and capacity. ... People who don't take small things seriously, people think you can achieve big things, so to some extent, the bigger things you don't take seriously, the more people think you are amazing... ..."

"Oh, that's fine, that's your thing again. Are you twenty-one or sixty-one? Just like an old man, no matter what happens, you can have your own life principles!"

"Hehe... well, let's not talk about it. Anyway, you are very smart, and you can always do well if you do it based on your feelings. I am different. You have to experience everything, and even suffer losses, in order to learn a lot of wisdom. ..."

"By the way, why did my sister come with you again? She also brought me a dozen salted eggs, saying that my mother pickled them..."

"Huh? Is that so? Salted eggs? That's just right. I've been craving this lately. You don't know. Since I was a child, I remember my father muttering to my mother, saying that my mother's pickled sauce must be sour, and pickled eggs must be salty. Anyway You just don’t know how to do these things, your mother’s skills should be pretty good, right? I’ll try it tomorrow morning..."

"Well, good. Hey, tell me, my sister came here, is there something wrong? She just came here with my mother, and it was only a dozen days, and now she came here suddenly... I think she looks like Looks like he's worried!"

"Then where do I know to go? Anyway, she didn't tell me. If you think she has something on her mind, you should talk to her before we leave!"

"Well, that's right! Hey, then you lie down first, I'll go over and chat with her for a while!"

"Hey... I said, didn't we agree to let you rest for a while, and you have to do it again later! Hey, you..."

…………

After returning to the room specially arranged for herself, Wang Jingxue simply took a shower, then turned on the air conditioner, and lay down on the bed in a daze—not sleepy, and there was nothing to do. There is nothing that can be done.

I think of last night, I think of my mother's smile this morning, I think of the extremely handsome profile on the plane, I think of Xiao Lu's pure and refined appearance, I think of directors Jin Han and Zhu Mingyu's sincere praise of Xiao Lu...

From childhood to adulthood, Wang Jingxue was a strong enough girl at home and outside, but compared to her, Wang Jingxue seemed a bit obedient, so in my impression, Xiaolu always followed behind her obediently, It's almost like what she said, what she asked her to do, she didn't even have any doubts, so she just did it.

Therefore, she has always believed that the little girl is weak and needs to be protected by herself.

But now, or rather, in the past two years, she has gradually discovered that perhaps the real situation is exactly the opposite of what she has always known.

Is the little girl weak?

She was never weak!

She just looked very quiet and seemed a little innocent.

However, along the way, she has chosen the right direction in almost every matter, and she can always handle things in a smooth and gentle manner, and at the same time cleanly.

Back then, when she liked Li Qian, it was something that almost the whole family opposed, even her own sister, didn't approve of her—until Li Qian's sudden rise, it actually proved her outstanding vision!

Liao Liao and Zhou Mo suddenly began to use the media's rumors to fight each other across the river. It was inconvenient for Li Qian to come forward, and it was difficult for both sides, and no one else could intervene in this kind of matter. At that time, no one could have imagined that the little Wang Jinglu would suddenly stood up.

She is Li Qian's girlfriend, the official girlfriend, even Liao Liao and Zhou Mo can't deny this, but you must know that in terms of achievements, status, influence, and even wisdom in life, she was not yet twenty years old at the time. In front of Liao Liao and Zhou Mo, there was almost no one thing she could have an advantage over, but on the contrary, her tepidity, simplicity and innocence actually persuaded the fight to come to an end!

Of course, this incident can be understood to a certain extent because both Liao Liao and Zhou Mo were afraid that the quarrel would not end in the end, and they were actually hurting themselves. Therefore, they were not showing face to Wang Jing, let alone They were afraid of her, in the final analysis, they were actually giving Li Qian face, and they didn't want to make Li Qian unable to step down.

But the problem is that at that time, who could know the true thoughts of the two of them?

If it were another person, such as myself, would I calmly persuade the fight as a little sister?

So, she made it and did it, that is, she made it and did it!

Nothing is left to chance.

As for now, she seems to have made up her mind to act, to be an actor, and she is not going to lean on the big tree of Li Qian and become a quiet Mrs. Li Wang of the Li family. At present, no one can do it. Make it clear whether her choice this time is right or wrong. However, Wang Jingxue believed that the little girl must have her own considerations in her heart.

Maybe this time, she will continue to fight!

Not to mention anything else, for example, this time, the matter that Zhu Mingyu quietly told himself... If it was him, it is likely that he would not handle it like that. However, the current facts have proved that the word-of-mouth of so many people in the crew has proved that it is very good for her to do so!

She is still so tepid, and she is still so calm and composed.

And in this aspect, it seems that I will never be able to be like her... Maybe it is because of this that Li Qian likes her so much?

Because he is also a young man!

...

Wang Jingxue leaned against the head of the bed and sighed quietly.

At this moment, there seemed to be movement from the next door—the hotel was not high-end, and the sound insulation was not good.

Knowing that the next door is the room of the younger sister and Li Qian, Wang Jingxue listened attentively almost subconsciously—there was the sound of water, very loud, and then, there seemed to be a vague... groan?

Wang Jingxue curled her lips, her face flushed slightly, but her expression turned to melancholy.

They also...started in the bathroom?

Wang Jingxue took a deep breath, couldn't help but grabbed the pillow and covered her face - did she accidentally listen to the corner of the two of them?

…………

The sound of water splashing non-stop, groaning and groaning sounded wave after wave.

Wang Jingxue stared blankly at the ceiling, the pillow had already been thrown somewhere.

…………

Finally, the movement over there was gone.

Wang Jingxue sighed, lifted the quilt, and got in.

…………

She just kept her eyes open, staring at a certain place in her line of sight, dazed in a daze.

Countless pictures of the past are turning over and over in my mind.

She stood in front of him with a stubborn face, and said confidently, "Hi, I'm singer Wang Jingxue."

Before the sick bed, she, dressed in an ancient costume, held his big hand, listening to his last words, with tears in her eyes.

That night, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she took the mobile phone that didn't belong to her, and sent a text message that maybe no one would ever know it was from her. silently deleted.

"This winter, I'm going to make an album for you, get ready," he said.

He looked down at his high heels.

…………

boom! boom! boom!

There is a knock on the door.

Wang Jingxue came back to her senses in astonishment, and asked subconsciously, "Who is it?"

"Sister, it's me!"

Wang Jingxue heaved a sigh of relief, lifted the quilt to get up, but hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, and said, "I've been on planes and trains all day, I'm exhausted, I want to sleep, if you have something to say, let's talk about it tomorrow, okay? "

There was a moment of silence outside the door, and then, the little girl responded softly.

"Oh, that's fine, then you go to bed first!"

Listening carefully, she walked away wearing slippers, and there was a clacking sound of slippers.

Then, the door slammed and closed again.

Wang Jingxue fell on the bed all of a sudden, her eyes were blank.

After a while, she suddenly whispered to herself: "What should I do?"

How many tickets do you want?
