Chapter 714 You Can't Chase Girls Like This!
Three days later, Lu Lingxi knocked on the door of Li Qian's office.
Still wearing a standard suit and trousers work clothes, although it is dignified and elegant, it can't stop the natural charm in the eyebrows and eyes - people often say that beauties are passionate, but in fact, many beauties are not passionate, but they are too good-looking. I am willing to have a little affection with her, and I am proud if I have no affection. Come out with a little bit of lewdness.
Standing in front of Li Qian's desk, she said seriously: "I've thought about it, and I'm willing to play the role of Aunt Thirteen."
After a pause, she said again: "As you said, people don't have to be hypocritical, just follow the path."
Li Qian nodded and said, "Okay!"
After she left, Li Qian put down the pen in his hand, leaned on the boss's chair and thought wildly for a long time. After thinking for a while, he pulled a blue telephone on the desk and broadcast a number.
When the phone was connected, he spoke fluently in English: "Hi, I'm Li Qian. Beauty, is the schedule tight?"
On the other end of the phone, a nice female voice said: "Oh, my God, Qian, you... shouldn't you first ask me if I'm in a good mood recently?"
Li Qian smiled, "If you are in a bad mood, you can come to China to relax. If you are in a good mood, how about taking time to come to China and play a guest role for me?"
Hearing the words on the other side, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Qian, is this the wisdom of your Chinese people?"
After thinking for a while, she said: "OK, there will be a film contract next, a tooth-piercing British court drama, which is expected to end in June. When will your drama start? Do I have many roles?"
Li Qian immediately said: "Several scenes will be finished within a week. You can come over after that drama is over, we will start shooting at the end of June."
The opposite party immediately said straightforwardly: "OK, no problem!"
Li Qian said "thank you", and then said: "Then I wish you a smooth shooting, I will wait for you in China!"
It was heard that Li Qian was going to hang up the phone, so he hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, don't hang up in a hurry, may I know what the story is? What kind of actor will I play with? Qian, you are an actor, Or be a director?"
Li Qian smiled and said, "Director! I'm the director, but don't worry, the one who's acting opposite you...well, is a magnificent oriental beauty! And what we want to shoot is a story about a hero."
"Oh, great!"
Li Qian hung up the phone with a smile, thought for a while, and dialed another number.
Liao Liao has already left for the United States after recording the album - she hasn't released a new album or new work for nearly two years, no matter how popular she was at the beginning, she definitely needs to warm up before releasing this album , at least have to go there in advance to hold a few fan meetings, participate in a few variety shows and the like.
Los Angeles time, it was already after dinner, and there was a bit of excitement over there. When Liao Liao answered the phone, Li Qian found out after asking that Liao Liao was organizing a small circle of parties in his villa.
So, I chatted briefly for a few minutes, asked her about her situation after arriving in the United States, told her to pay attention to her health, and promised that she would stay there for a few days in May, and then hung up the phone.
At this moment, Lu Min pushed the door open and came in, saying: "Mr. Li, there is a call from the ninth floor. It is said that the second round of auditions for "Full House" is about to start. Mr. Jin is asking if you want to come over. have a look."
Li Qian thought for a while, nodded, and stood up.
But before he walked out of the room, he stopped again, sighed, and said to Lu Min: "Forget it, just call back and say that I won't go up. Everything depends on President Jin's opinion."
Lu Min saw that Li Qian's expression was not normal, and didn't dare to ask why, but just agreed, and then left the room.
After Lu Min left, he paced back and forth in the room.
In fact, there is nothing bad about his mood, and even because the entire company is on the right track in all aspects, he has recently felt relieved on his shoulders. Like the current audition, he can go and have a look, but he doesn't have to go, anyway, he has delineated the hero and heroine. For other roles, he believes that Jin Han knows well, and where his vision is, he will not Pick one's eyes.
But these days, he just feels an inexplicable irritability from time to time.
So, he knew that there must be some things, some places, some problems that he could perceive or perceive, but he hadn't paid attention to them before.
Emotionally?
Well, maybe there will be, but... It seems that none of the women should give me such a sense of anxiety.
The child here has been born for more than half a month, and the child has been pregnant for four months. These things must be sorted out before the filming of "Once Upon a Time".
It's okay for a man to be lustful, but at least he must be open-minded and aboveboard.
They fell in love with you at first, perhaps not because of your wealth, status, or other things, but since the two of them got together, she became your woman, and she even became pregnant with your two children. That man, You must take over this responsibility - you must give your own woman, and so many people outside who care about her, a reliable, trustworthy and understanding confession.
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhou Mo to live in that small villa forever. She wants to go back to Yangjuan Hutong, and she must have thought about it for a long time, although she didn't say anything.
That's why He Runqing can't just live in seclusion forever...
Then there is... well, no problem, these are not problems, at least not the reason why I often feel anxious these days.
Although the meal last night was really embarrassing.
Back at the desk, he wrote down many names one by one, and then crossed out those names one by one. He knew that neither they nor they were a problem.
In the end, his eyes fell on those two names.
Once Upon a Time, Red Sorghum.
The gel pen was tapped on the table again and again, and my mind was spinning rapidly.
The sorghum in my hometown is definitely fine. As soon as the villagers heard that the star of Lao Li’s family was coming back to film, and they just planted without harvesting, they would pay double the normal harvest, and there were grandpa and uncle watching at home. This kind of thing will never go wrong.
As for the actors of the two plays, Aunt Thirteen has already decided. Qin Jingjing's "my grandma" should be considered reliable. If she can't help her up, it's no problem to find someone temporarily. Bai Yujing Cheng Suping Ming Xiaojing, it shouldn't be a big problem. Although the male lead of the two plays has not yet been decided, especially... I haven't decided whether I want to act or not, but that, it's not a big problem.
No matter whether you act by yourself or find someone else to act, there are still two months before the filming of "Once Upon a Time in Huang Feihong", and even less than half a year before the filming of "Red Sorghum".
As for the supporting roles... Well, why don't you take advantage of the fact that "Full House" is also casting, and first do the auditions for these two films? Could it be that something might go wrong in this regard?
But on second thought, no.
Also, it doesn't fit into established work and schedules.
Then... Well, the filming location of "Red Sorghum" is very simple, don't worry, "Huang Feihong" plans to film in four or five places, especially the scene where a large bamboo shed is temporarily built by the sea, but those things , has been confessed to Zhao He, and he went out this time just for these things.
So... probably neither.
Li Qian frowned deeply.
The more this was the case, the more he felt that maybe the loophole that made him feel a little anxious would be even more serious.
Pick up the phone and start calling one by one.
There is no problem with Zhaohe, and there is no problem with my hometown. Call Huang Wenjuan. The few Wu Zhi who are currently in contact are all okay. They will come by the agreed date. The fighting scenes reflected in the film, and then, a few martial arts fingers, or choose the best, or a combination of several people, anyway, Li Qian only wants the best things, and doesn't care about the budget.
Then, regarding Zhu Yu’s question, she said that she even went back to her alma mater and consulted several old professors, and discussed it several times enthusiastically. Samples were released for Li Qian's comments and choices.
After one phone call, everything was fine, everything was fine.
Li Qian sighed, opened the drawer and took out the script.
After thinking about it, he picked up the script, grabbed his coat, and wanted to go out, but after thinking about it, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, I remember you're not here today?"
"Huh? No! What's the matter?"
"Let's find a place to sit. I'm a bit messed up. I just want to find a place to sit and have a cup of coffee or something. By the way, help me read the book of my next play."
A soft smile came from the opposite side, "My heart is in turmoil, and I will calm down when I go back to see the big fat son."
Li Qian also smiled, and after a while, he asked, "Why, are you...inconvenient?"
"Well, it's not inconvenient, it's just that I made an appointment to meet someone tonight."
Li Qian was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Male or female?"
The other side let out a chuckle, "Of course it's a man! Your sister and I are quite old, and everyone introduced me to a blind date. We must meet each other. Why don't you give me more face? Who will give me back in the future?" I introduce?"
Li Qian's heart skipped a beat.
"Oh...then...well, then..."
"Oh, okay, I'm just kidding with you, where are you going? Or are you here to pick me up?"
Li Qian grinned silently, "Then you wait for me, I will pick you up!"
…………
An hour and a half later.
a coffee shop.
After drinking a cup of strong coffee, Cheng Suping finally finished the script when both of them started to grow hungry at noon.
Looking up, she said, "Eat first?"
Li Qian nodded, "Eat first."
So, after ordering, eating, the meal was over, the waiter packed up the things, and they ordered another pot of tea.
At noon, the sun is very good.
After drinking a cup of tea, Cheng Suping opened the script again and read it from the beginning.
Li Qian stared at her for a moment, then opened the script, forcing himself to calm down and read from the beginning.
Up to now, this script has been changed three times.
At the very beginning, Li Qian was afraid that the longer he came to this time and space, the more he would forget the memory of another time and space. Therefore, although he was careless, he basically recorded the whole script according to the original plot. . But the year before last, he decided to take a step towards film and television, so he re-read the script, and felt a little inappropriate for the original plot of this drama.
This moment also, that moment also.
This life is also the other life.
The background of the original story is the last years of the Qing Dynasty. This time and space can only be the last years of the Shun Dynasty. It’s okay to say that the big braids are gone. The problem is that Liu Yongfu is definitely gone, and Li Qian also feels that the militia in the original plot is not suitable. .
And the most important thing is that the aesthetics and tastes of Hong Kong audiences in the 1980s in another time and space are very different from the aesthetic tastes of domestic audiences around 2001 at this moment.
The plot of the original version mainly consists of three lines.
At that moment, China was undergoing major changes unseen in three thousand years. Among all kinds of conflicts, ethnic conflicts between China and foreign countries were the most important. Treating him with contempt made Huang Feihong extremely dissatisfied, and he fought vigorously, which must be the biggest main line in the original version.
Because of the militia left behind by Liu Yongfu, the local yamen of the Qing government, the admiral, was quite afraid of Huang Feihong, and wanted to get rid of the militia even more. This is the second clue.
The local bully gang, the Shahe Gang, first tried to bring disaster to the township, and then colluded with foreigners. There was a lot of discord with Huang Feihong and the militia. , this third line is completely merged into the first main line.
These three lines were finally connected together by the three characters of Huang Feihong, Aunt Thirteen and Liang Kuan. The clues of the whole movie are clear and the structure is basically rigorous. Although there are some minor flaws in the background and setting, the flaws are not concealed.
Coupled with the wonderful fighting scenes, Jet Li's grand master demeanor in the play, and the funny jokes that were very in line with the aesthetic taste of the Hong Kong people in the 1980s, this play was naturally very popular at the time, and later spread with pirated DVDs. When he went to the inland, he was deeply loved and respected by Li Qian and his generation.
But many plots in the original version are actually not suitable for the present.
For example, the simplest point is that there are many funny jokes in the original plot because Huang Feihong could not speak English. In Hong Kong in the 1980s, everyone would find it very funny. The audience of the CD will also find it funny, but in the current time and space of 2001, it is absolutely unacceptable—to put it badly, it will make people disgusted.
Because in the current time and space in 2001, first, the country’s economy is more developed than that of another time and space, and ordinary people don’t think English is too high-end. Second, piracy is not so rampant, and they really spend money to go to the cinema Many of the movie audiences are highly educated, whether it is their knowledge level or national self-esteem, it is very likely that they will not be able to accept such jokes.
Therefore, in the second draft of the whole play, from the social background, to several main lines, to many detailed passages, Li Qian made great sorting out, adjustments and changes.
Basically, about half of the things in this play are new.
Last winter, he started to revise it again, and then formed the current final draft, and now the final draft in the hands of Li Qian and Cheng Suping has changed more than 60% of the original version. ——This is not just a matter of changing the appearance, it is definitely a matter of being injured!
Because of this, when Li Qian thought over and over again whether there were any mistakes in what he was doing and what he was going to do, he ruled out other problems one by one. In the end, he felt that this has been related to the original story in his mind. It is very likely that this is the root cause of my anxiety.
To be honest, even though up to now, no matter what he has done, he has achieved success, and the outside world is full of praise. One by one, the girls are also rushing towards him like moths to the flame, completely disregarding the fact that Li Qian already has wives and concubines in groups. However, Li Qian never felt that he was such a talented person.
When he had the original version in his mind for reference, he naturally had nothing to worry about, but now, after losing the blessing of the original version's aura to some extent, he began to worry about gains and losses unknowingly—although, With the filming of the two plays, his confidence in himself is actually getting stronger and stronger.
…………
Cheng Suping finally put down the script for the second time and took a sip of slightly cold tea. She said, "I think it's okay. It's a very good story and a great script! The biggest problem with it is..."
Seeing Li Qian's expectant face, she smiled and pouted, "The heroine didn't look for me!"
Li Qian laughed.
Cheng Suping also laughed, and asked, "You made this book for yourself, right?"
Li Qian was surprised at first, then smiled and asked: "Why do you say that? Because I have also practiced kung fu a few times?"
Cheng Suping smiled and remained silent.
Li Qian continued to ask: "Do you have any suggestions or comments for this book?"
Cheng Suying shook her head, "At least at my level, it's okay, very good! I don't see any obvious shortcomings or shortcomings." After a pause, she said: "It's just... I'm sorry for you in the script. I don’t know how you want to shoot the descriptions of a few fights in the book, like that... You said, 'the male protagonist is holding an umbrella, and he should fight gracefully, adapting measures to local conditions', I don't quite understand, I guess you have to find A good martial arts instructor, help you design some movements. Other... nothing more."
Li Qian nodded, feeling more at ease in his heart.
He thought to himself: Yes, Wuzhi is a big problem. For this problem, we must combine it with several Wuzhi next, and we must make sufficient preparations in advance!
Feeling at ease in his heart, he looked up at Cheng Suping, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't have this show, I will definitely look for you later, there is a good show, I'll keep it for you!"
Cheng Suping smiled, noncommittal.
After a while, she asked with a smile: "Do you know why I said this drama is tailor-made for yourself?"
Li Qian looked at her in surprise, "Why?"
Cheng Suping laughed, first pursing her lips, smiling mysteriously, seeing Li Qian's curious face, she said: "Because that's how you can't chase girls!"

I keep writing such big chapters, and many readers complain that my book is more expensive than other books, alas! The question is, do you think such a big chapter is enjoyable to watch?
