Chapter 1009 No Big Deal (24)

"Have you written a new book?"

"Well..." Shen Xudong nodded: "Isn't this where Gu Cheng lives in seclusion? I have a feeling!"

Mother Shen was surprised: "Gu Cheng...his former residence is also here?"

"Not here..." Shen Xudong explained: "He is in Waiheke Island in the north..."

Mother Shen was speechless: "What kind of secluded place is that?"

"...New Zealand is the last place he stayed and the place where he killed his wife!"

Shen's mother glared at him: "...I never heard that you like Gu Cheng."

Shen Xudong shrugged: "Fortunately, I prefer Beidao... Can you give me something to eat? I'm starving..."

By the way, Bei Dao is still alive.

In fact, Bei Dao is more like a cultural symbol than a person.

Later, an old man in his seventies opened a Douban account and wrote a poem. A group of children who were old enough to be his grandchildren pointed at him and scolded him for "rhythm"...

This, it doesn't matter. Compared with Bei Dao and his predecessors when they were young, his situation is pretty good...

It’s just a couple of curse words on the Internet.

It's a bit mysterious that transcends age - just like you said that Zhang Xueliang has listened to Jay Chou's songs...

Pulling back, Mother Shen pointed to the kitchen: "...the food left for you over there..."

"thanks Mom!"

Mother Shen watched her son eat breakfast and sat down: "When I was young, I liked Gu Cheng, and I took 'The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light' as my motto, which I thought was 'very profound.'" Later, when I read more books, I felt that he was complaining for nothing. Even when I read Tagore at that time, I could only understand the literal meaning and a little bit of the background, but it was impossible to empathize with him, so I still didn't understand poetry at that time...

I saw Gu Cheng’s poems again after I was forty years old and learned the story behind him. He seemed to have bipolar disorder. He was selfish and indifferent and lived completely in his own world. Moreover, the nature of his poems was empty and dark, as if he had nothing to do. The same soul.

At that time, I realized that only by reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, seeing all kinds of life, tasting the ups and downs, experiencing life and death, joys and sorrows, can I precipitate a classic work with depth and connotation. Only when you get older and have more experience can you understand poetry.

In recent years, I have discovered a pattern: people I know who read little and love arty poetry will like Gu Cheng's poems, just like many children like Guo Jingming and Han Han..."

"Without me?"

"There are people who like you, but what you write spans too much..."

"Mom, aren't you a math teacher?"

"Can't a math teacher like literature?" Shen's mother glared at him and said, "What's the name of the new book?"

"Three novella collections, namely "Parasite", "Burning" and "Love Like a Bouquet"..."

"Bring it to me after you finish writing it..."

"become."

…

After the promotion of "Earth Fire" ended, Shen Xudong left the country - anyway, even in New Zealand, he could still have a video call with Chen Xi...

For example, now, Chen Xi asked if he had any young people he was optimistic about, and by the way, he nominated Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi. Shen Xudong shook his head: "... Liu Yifei should forget it, she has her own resource line..."

"What about Liu Shishi?"

"The acting skills are too poor... If you want to praise someone, you must at least find someone with a solid foundation in acting skills!"

Chen Xi nodded: "You are thinking the same as me... I have been searching around recently and found two pretty good ones..."

"Who is there?"

"Wan Qian and Cai Wenjing..."

"I know Wan Qian... she acted in "Liu Rushi". Who is Cai Wenjing?"

"The school beauty in the TV series version of "The Year in a Hurry"..." Chen Xi continued: "This drama is quite popular, and several actors have gained something."

"That Year in a Hurry" is actually the PPTV online drama version, but it has been confirmed to be broadcast on Shenzhen Satellite TV in February...

"Really? Who is the heroine?"

Chen Xi was a little embarrassed: "The heroine is not lovable..."

Uh...well, Fang Hui, the heroine of "The Year in a Hurry", to put it nicely: introverted and quiet, is actually a character full of negative energy and neurotic. This kind of character makes people sympathize when written in the book, but in actual performance , can make people extremely angry, for example, in order to get revenge on their boyfriend, they choose to sleep with a man, and get pregnant or have a miscarriage...

Not talking about this anymore, Shen Xudong then asked: "Does she have any other works?"

"...Anti-Japanese Heroes"..."

"What the hell?"

""The Anti-Japanese Heroes"... is the fantasy drama about tearing up Japanese enemies with your hands!"

Shen Xudong searched for Cai Wenjing... Isn't this the heroine of "The Apocalypse of Pretending"!

Nodding: "...I understand...Then you sign her, treat her well, I guess you don't have much resources..."

Nonsense, as long as there are choices, young actors, who would be willing to play such an anti-Japanese drama?

"Well, that's it?"

"...Okay, let me tell you, our company's core business is always content creation, and we are not professional in artist planning..." At this point, Shen Xudong criticized: "Why did I hear that you were talking in the circle? In the future, Don’t you want to cooperate with them anymore?”

Chen Xi shook his head: "No... What I said is that for high-quality projects, we must consider our own people more. Besides, when they set up a studio, we also have a shareholding ratio!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Once the marketing account and self-media interpret it, it will have another meaning..."

"Damn, let me see..."

"It's best to post an explanation on Weibo..."

…

There are always people who discriminate against the actors of anti-Japanese dramas. In fact, for actors, anti-Japanese dramas are not something you can choose.

There is a drama that asks you to play the third female lead, and a drama that asks you to play the first female lead. How do you choose?

Some of them performed well!

For actors, this is a very real problem.

Think about it, you can easily sit in the city and act in an idol drama, hug all kinds of handsome guys, kiss and have sex on and off the screen, and get paid for reciting your lines with an expressionless face. What actor wouldn't be happy?

The question is, why should such a good thing happen to you?

In China, which produces more than 20,000 episodes of TV series every year, the vast majority of TV series, regardless of whether they are anti-Japanese or not, are divine dramas. This is what most third-, fourth-, fifth-, and seventh-tier actors have to face.

If you are not disgusted by anti-Japanese dramas, you will also be tainted by brainless palace battle dramas, urban soap operas, and outrageous costume dramas...

Anyway, under the current situation, if you enter this industry, you must have this kind of awareness and psychological expectations.

It’s difficult for an actor to have no background and only a back view...

In the original time and space, Jin Dong, Wang Lei, and Jiang Xin all acted in a lot of anti-Japanese dramas...

In fact, the anti-Japanese drama is a pot of romance, violence, espionage, and pornography, and then it is covered with a layer of anti-Japanese sacred clothing, and finally it is made into a hodgepodge. The reason is one: the TV station pays the bill and the wallet is bulging. Second, the risk is low, it is easy to pass the review, and it has an anti-Japanese aura, so it is easy for the General Administration to release it.

Those who ride horses, tear up Japanese soldiers with their hands, hide mines in their crotches, blow up planes with rocks, naked village girls saluting the People's Liberation Army, etc., thank these people for coming up with it...
