Chapter 535 I Want to Get Married
At night, by the Pearl River, in a small movie town.
A few side dishes, four bowls of wontons, and three glasses of beer.
At an unremarkable night market stall, Li Qian and Wang Jinglu sat on one side, and Han Shunzhang and Jin Han sat across from each other, eating and drinking silently.
This town, which had been bustling for ten days, quickly deserted after the closing ceremony this afternoon—even the reporters were busy running to the airport to capture the stars who were in a hurry to leave. Naturally, Li Qian and Wang Jinglu could relax a little.
After eating a bowl of wontons and gulping down half a glass of beer, Jin Han let out a long breath, "Okay, that's the end of this matter! I don't have to think about it anymore!"
After attending the closing ceremony in the afternoon, the disappointment on his face could be seen by himself, but after returning to the hotel to rest for a few hours, he seemed to have rested, or maybe he had figured it out. When Qian Qian asked him to come out to eat together, his condition was already a little better.
However, regardless of what he said about being a bachelor and suave, the melancholy in his demeanor still cannot be concealed from the human eye.
Han Shunzhang is not good at persuading people, so he raised his glass and said, "Come on!" You know, he usually doesn't drink alcohol, and according to Zhu Mingyu, he doesn't drink even in private.
Jin Han picked up the cup, touched it with him, and took two gulps.
Put down the wine and light the cigarette.
Both Li Qian and Wang Jinglu ate slowly, and at this time they laughed while eating wontons, "As for it, they just didn't take anything!" After a pause, they continued: "This time, being selected as the main competition unit is already considered a It's an improvement, isn't it? Step by step!"
Han Shunzhang hurriedly said: "Yes, it has entered the main competition unit, not bad!"
These words are purely used to comfort people.
However, Jin Han is obviously not uncommon. A person with a strong heart never needs comfort from others.
He was smoking a cigarette, looking at the dark Pearl River embankment hundreds of meters away, and said in distress, "Well, I can't help it! If you just talk about your level, I really don't see how I am inferior to others Go! For example, Lu Ping, he is talented, but I am not bad, but we have different ideas. His way of thinking is naturally more popular than mine, so he started to win awards from the first film. My mother made three films, and only one of them entered the main competition unit! There is also Wu Han, who is at the 89th level, who is similar. He can risk his life to shoot things, but the filming is not pleasing to both sides! Audiences don’t like it , The judges don't like it... what should I do?"
Han Shunzhang didn't know what to say, so he looked at Li Qian, Li Qian curled his lips, didn't speak, and just ate wontons. So he had no choice but to look at Wang Jinglu.
Wang Jinglu gently poked Li Qian.
Although Jin Han was looking at the Pearl River over there, he still caught a glimpse of the small movements among several people, and couldn't help saying: "Okay, you don't need to try to persuade me, I don't need anyone to comfort me, I just can't figure it out!"
Li Qian finally raised his head, sneered, as if he had been scalded by wontons, his acting skills were extremely exaggerated, but he put down his chopsticks to wipe his mouth, and his words brought Jin Han's eyes back immediately.
He said, "Do you really want to understand?"
Jin Han looked at him, "Tell me about it."
Li Qian put the remaining two wontons in his bowl into Wang Jinglu's bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "There's only one reason, I'm too high-spirited!"
Jin Han froze for a moment, opened his mouth and said, "I..."
Li Qian raised his hand, shook his head, and interrupted him, "You don't need to tell me those useless things, we have known each other for a long time! You are just too high-minded! You say that you don't count, we bystanders Only when you can see clearly!"
Jin Han was full of dissatisfaction, and turned to look at Han Shunzhang.
Jin Han is a senior, from the 86th grade, and Han Shunzhang is from the 91st grade. The school time of the two did not overlap at all, but since the establishment of the crew of "Legend of the White Lady", the two have become more and more familiar. One of them is calm and low-key, the other He has a bold temper, but he has an excellent relationship.
At this time, Han Shunzhang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly, and said tactfully: "The director, I don't have any confidence, it is impossible to make a good film."
Jin Han stared at Zhuzi, but turned to look at Wang Jinglu when he was about to say something.
Wang Jinglu shrank her neck, forced by Jin Han's eyes, she had no choice but to say: "I think you are a good director, Brother Jin, and I like to make your films."
This is like saying nothing.
Jin Han pondered for a moment, then smoked heavily.
After a while, he couldn't help but asked Li Qian again, "Really? Am I high-minded? Very proud?"
Li Qian said with a smile: "Do you think that being able to talk nonsense with anyone is not arrogant? The thing of arrogance is in your bones!"
Jin Han was speechless.
Li Qian continued: "You just mentioned Senior Brother Lu, he is a smart man. He is also arrogant, but he knows how to hide his arrogance, or in other words, he knows what to do to walk smoothly and smoothly. And He is also smart enough, he can do whatever he thinks. So you see, how smooth is his journey? One side is the market, and the other side is the harsh judges, and he walks a tightrope between the two!"
After a pause, he continued: "But what about you? And Senior Brother Wu Han and Wu you mentioned just now, you two are typical too egotistical! Of course, you can say that you don't bother to please anyone! You don't bother to please anyone! The audience don't bother to please the critics, you just want to make a good movie in your mind!"
"But the problem is, you only see yourself, you can't see others, you can't see the world, so how do you know that what you think is good must be really good? How do you know that what you think is to please critics? Those films with the audience must be bad? You judge completely by your own judgment standards, but the question is, have you done enough by your judgment standards?"
Jin Han was tongue-tied, opened his mouth a few times, trying to argue without words.
Li Qian, however, continued to rant like a machine gun with the safety bolt on, "I know, you've got that 'audiences are always stupid' stuff, and I also know that, in fact, the major film festivals and the major awards, they judge What comes out may not necessarily be a really good thing, but the audience's standard is the universal standard, and the judge's standard is the standard for winning awards. This statement may be a bit naked, and it is not artistic enough, but this It's reality."
Speaking of this, Li Qian stretched out two fingers, "Both sides, you have to rely on one of them, right? You can't be the only one who is smart in this world, and you are the only one who understands movies?"
"I……"
"Maybe the audience doesn't understand movies, they just want to go into the cinema to watch a story, but they have money in their hands, they can vote for you with money, maybe the judges don't understand art, but they have votes in their hands , I can use tickets to give you a trophy and a reputation!"
Having said that, Li Qian spread his hands.
Jin Han looked at him for a long time, and sighed silently.
…………
That night, in the hotel suite, Wang Jinglu came out wearing a bathrobe after taking a shower, and urged Li Qian to go in to take a shower. When Li Qian went in to take a shower, she turned on the TV and changed several channels, but there was nothing she wanted to watch, because "The New White Snake" I don’t know if it’s the fourth round or the fifth round of “Legend”, but it started playing again, and there are white ladies everywhere.
After turning off the TV, she walked over, opened the bathroom door, watched Li Qian taking a shower, and talked to him, "Aren't you a little too cruel what you said to Brother Jin just now? I think Brother Jin looks very painful. look."
Li Qian turned to look at her and smiled, "Is it cruel? I don't think so!"
After a pause, he said: "From the year before last when I brought him over to shoot the white lady for me, to investing in him for the filming of "On the Road", I have been waiting for a suitable opportunity like today. Now that the opportunity has finally come, when he is most disappointed and doubts himself, why don't I take the opportunity to give him a stick?"
Wang Jing rolled his eyes at him, "You are so proud of giving someone a stick?"
Li Qian laughed, "After a few years, when Lao Jinhuo understands, he will appreciate what I said to him today! He, as he himself said, is not short of talent. Lack of opportunities, what he lacks is just to lower his head and seriously think about what he wants to shoot? What is good? Is it what he thinks is good? The audience thinks it is good? Or the judges think it is good ?”
Wang Jinglu thought for a while, tilted her head, and asked, "Then... what do you want him to shoot? What do you want him to choose?"
Li Qian laughed again, "I don't care if he wants to understand it or not, and I don't care what he chooses. Next, he should sell himself to pay off his debts, and honestly go and shoot "Meteor Garden" for me!"
Wang Jinglu wanted to talk when she heard that Li Qian had turned off the faucet, so she handed over the towel. The two quickly walked to the bed one after the other. Li Qian sat down, and Wang Jinglu took the towel naturally. Wipe his hair and body, and ask at the same time: "Although I don't know much, I can tell that the script should be regarded as an idol drama. Do you think Big Brother Jin can do it well?"
Li Qian smiled and reached into her bathrobe, but Wang Jinglu slapped her aside, but Li Qian stretched in again without discouragement, Wang Jinglu rolled her eyes and ignored him.
While exploring the camp skillfully, Li Qian said, "You underestimate Lao Jin too much. He looks like he has been defeated repeatedly, but in fact, he just doesn't want to admit defeat and has been digging into a corner. You can feel that his standard is really not low! For him, an idol drama like "Meteor Garden" is almost like shooting a MV. At best, it can be regarded as a story version of the extended MV! Script, tell the story according to my script, then it will be absolutely fine!"
After wiping his body, Wang Jinglu twisted her body and pulled his hand out, looking at him with a smile.
Li Qian was curious and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Jinglu smiled, shook her head, and went back to put on her bathrobe, "It's okay."
Li Qian fell down on the bed, put his head in his hands, sighed slightly, and said, "I hope Lao Jin can figure it out when the filming of this TV series is finished! Then I can give him a notebook and give him a chance to win an award... ..." At this point, he looked at Wang Jinglu who was walking back, and asked, "Do you want to be a best actress?"
Wang Jinglu looked at him with clear eyes.
White is white, black is black, as beautiful as it was a few years ago.
Li Qian was full of anticipation, but she shook her head and smiled slightly, "I don't want to."
Li Qian pursed his lips, puzzled.
Wang Jinglu went to lie down next to him, but suddenly changed the subject and asked, "A new album is coming out, or is it the first album, are you sure you can't promote it?"
Li Qian shook his head, "Let the Propaganda Department do the necessary publicity. I won't go out to do the publicity. I hate those things. I smile at this and that every day, and I have to put on makeup for the camera. It's uncomfortable."
Wang Jinglu smiled when she heard the words, turned sideways, touched his face, and said after a while, "Then... let's choose a date and move?"
Li Qian turned to look at her, and said indifferently: "Okay, if you think it's okay to move, then let's move!"
But after finishing speaking, he couldn't help but ask again: "I remember you like acting very much, you don't even want to give you a queen? Then what do you want?"
Wang Jinglu's fingers wiped the slightly prickly stubble on his chin with a touch of greed and obsession.
Finally, the four eyes met.
Wang Jinglu said slowly, "I want to get married."
