Chapter 382 Liaozhai = obscenity?
The matter with Xijie Entertainment is Zhang Chen's private matter, and it doesn't matter. Zhang Chen is now the soul of Xingchen Entertainment, and his matter is Xingchen Entertainment's matter.
In the evening, the farewell banquet prepared for Chen Xi was held as scheduled.
"Sorry, Mr. Chen Xi, the temperature here is a bit low at night. We can't have a bonfire party, so we have to change it indoors~"
Wu Shixian apologized as soon as he came up, and Chen Xi immediately waved his hand. : "It's okay, it's okay. It's good. There's no need to say goodbye. I just want to find an excuse for everyone to sit down and chat. I'll go back to deal with some things temporarily. I might come back in two days..."
< br>
The group sat down.
Wu Shixian still chose a northwest-style restaurant, specializing in beef and mutton.
The Hui compatriots are really good at making beef and mutton. They are much better than the Han people in this regard. You can see that the famous places for making beef and mutton all over the country are basically in areas where the Hui people live, such as the Muslim Street in Xi'an and the Beef and Mutton Market in Beijing. Street...
"Director Zhang, look at what else you need to order. I ordered what everyone liked last time..."
Wu Shixian handed over the menu and Zhang Chen waved his hand: "You guys have a look. That’s fine, I won’t choose~”
When it comes to eating meat, Zhang Chen has never been picky, as long as it tastes good.
Seeing that Zhang Chen didn't answer, Wu Shixian handed the menu to others. Everyone said they were following the crowd, so he put the menu back on the table.
“By the way, Xiao Ming asked the merchant specifically if they had vinegar and pepper mutton. The merchant said he could make it, so Xiao Ming ordered it. He said it was Director Zhang’s hometown dish~”
Hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at Huang Xiaoming : "Brother Xiao Ming is interested~"
Huang Xiaoming replied with a smile: "I am also a foodie myself. When I was chatting with Director Ning, I heard him say that Director Zhang liked this, so I remembered it.
This time I remembered it, so I asked casually. I didn't expect that they happened to be able to do it, and they were just following Director Zhang to get the glory. ”
Huang Xiaoming’s words are so pleasing to the ears.
Vinegar pepper mutton is a local halal dish in Coal Province. Because it is seasoned with vinegar, it is very fragrant and is very popular among people in Coal Province. It's indeed Zhang Chen's favorite.
It's just that. I didn't expect that Huang Xiaoming would keep it in mind, and he specifically mentioned it this time. This shows that it is not accidental that this person will have such a good reputation in the entertainment industry in later generations. He really puts his heart into his life.
But he was more interested in Wu Shixian
Wu Shixian's series of actions after coming in took care of everyone's feelings, and pointed out Xiao Ming's good intentions for Zhang Chen, which even sold him out.
Zhang Chen was quite puzzled as to how a foreigner could understand these worldly things so clearly.
By the way, Wu Shixian is of mixed Chinese and American descent. His father is Chinese and his mother is American. He was born in Wanwan and grew up in the United States. He has traveled to more than 20 countries around the world.
The store owner acted very quickly and quickly served four dishes. Zhang Chen greeted everyone to start eating.
“Come, come, let’s all eat. Let’s all try this vinegar and pepper mutton. It tastes quite good.”
Even if you don’t eat mutton, you must try the dishes specially recommended by the director.
Everyone took down their chopsticks and praised him profusely. Qin Lan also took a spoonful of soup, "Well, the soup is really delicious."
Zhang Chen gave a thumbs up, This is something that can eat.
Zhang Chen raised a few mouthfuls of food to prevent himself from going hungry.
How can you eat without wine?
Zhang Chen's own habit is that drinking on an empty stomach is the best, but drinking on an empty stomach can easily get drunk and hurt the stomach, so he usually takes a few mouthfuls and rests before drinking.
“Today is a farewell banquet for Mr. Chen Xi. The company cannot do without her and she has to go back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I suggest that everyone raise a glass to thank Mr. Chen Xi for his hard work during this period.”< br>
Zhang Chen suggested, everyone raised their glasses, Chen Xi smiled and answered: " It’s not as exaggerated as Director Zhang said. It’s just that the positions are different. Everyone works harder than me. I am the big housekeeper of the crew. I just take care of everyone’s food, clothing, housing and transportation.”
“Then take care of it well. Okay?”
“Okay~”
Everyone booed.
"Then let's pay homage to Mr. Chen Xi~"
Everyone agreed in a loud voice, raised their glasses and drank it all.
As long as you start drinking at the dinner, the atmosphere will only get better and better.
Everyone ate, drank, and talked happily.
Huang Xiaoming is also personable when drinking, less heroic, but not annoying.
At this time, he held the wine glass and made a toast: "Director Zhang, I have to thank you very much. I have learned a lot from you during this period of filming."
Zhang Chen also raised the wine glass. : "Brother Xiao Ming, you are so polite. We can help each other achieve success."
He knows his own level very well, and he is not the kind of director who is very good at training actors.
In his crew, most of the time the actors have to figure it out themselves, but Brother Xiao Ming, your acting skills are not bad, but sometimes you tend to use too much force. As long as you grasp this, there will be no problem...
He still admires Huang Xiaoming.
Huang's acting skills are not bad, including Liu Che in "The Emperor", Takeda in "The Wind", and Cheng Dongqing in "Chinese Partners".
These roles are all performed with great depth and impressiveness, which shows that Huang has acting skills.
It’s just that the performance is very unstable.
Later netizens ridiculed him, saying that he chose his opponents when acting.
It's a 50-50 split with everyone.
When you are strong, you are strong; when you are weak, you are weak.
The upper limit is very high and the lower limit is also very low.
That seems to be the case.
My performance in "Painted Skin" has been pretty good so far because I have Young Master Zhou as my opponent.
Mr. Zhou, it’s true, it’s not God who rewards you with food, it’s God who feeds you.
“It’s good that I didn’t hold back the crew~”
Brother Xiao Ming smiled and downed the drink in one gulp, and Zhang Chen followed suit.
Others thought he was being modest, but Zhang Chen could sense lack of confidence in it.
He has never been very confident in terms of acting skills, because the key to entering Nortel is not acting skills, but appearance.
It just so happened that their class was Nortel's star class, with several big stars coming out, and they were often compared with each other by the media.
Especially Chen Kun, who has almost always suppressed him. Huang Xiaoming has been living in Chen Kun's shadow since his debut.
Actually, Zhang Chen felt that he didn’t need to.
Huang Xiaoming is looking for trouble.
He obviously takes the star route, but he always wants to become an actor.
Isn’t this just making yourself unhappy?
To be a star, as long as your acting skills are above the passing level, you will be fine.
Is Zhao Yanzi’s acting skills very strong, that is, above the passing line, preventing her from becoming popular all over the country?
Looking at Huang Xiaoming’s condition, Zhang Chen decided to give him a few words of encouragement.
"Brother Xiao Ming, don't always worry about gains and losses. Let me put it this way, everyone is under great pressure when playing against Mr. Zhou. Do you think Fan Binbin is not under pressure?"
When Zhang Chen said this, people around him came to their senses and agreed.
Fan Binbin also consciously exposed his shortcomings: "Yes, when I heard that "Painted Skin" would star opposite Brother Xun, I asked an acting teacher for targeted training very early. The purpose was not to defeat Xun. Brother, just to avoid being left too far behind..."
The atmosphere of the crew is really good, and everyone doesn't care about it so much.
Moreover, Fan Xiaopang’s position is solid, and she will not let the price drop no matter what she says.
Zhang Chen continued: "Mr. Zhou is one of those with extraordinary talents. In martial arts novels, she is like a character like Huang Yaoshi. She can understand things that bother others at a glance, so there is no need to compete with her in acting. .
There's no need to think about learning any acting techniques from her, there's nothing you can't learn. As long as you follow your own heart, you can act however you want.
If the director chooses you for a play, it means that your acting skills and image are definitely suitable for the play. Therefore, you have to believe in yourself and the director's vision. "
Zhang Chen said a lot to Balabala to comfort Master Huang. Mr. Zhou didn't know whether he was being praised or scolded, and he pouted his mouth with a smile.
Yang Xiaomi suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. No wonder she couldn't learn anything while observing Mr. Zhou. It turned out that this was the reason why Zhang Chen's encouragement really worked. < br>
Huang Xiaoming's eyes brightened visibly, as if he had figured something out.
"Thank you, Director Zhang, I will work hard~"
Zhang Chen decided to give the other party another insurance: "I know you gave up the opportunity of "New Shanghai" for "Painted Skin" , and also gave up "The Night Banquet", I guarantee you that your choice is definitely the right one."
When Zhang Chen said this, Huang Xiaoming immediately put his hands together to express his gratitude.
For "Painted Skin", he did pay a lot. He always thought that Zhang Chen knew nothing, but now he discovered that he knew everything.
"New Shanghai Beach" is Gao Xixi's project. Gao Xixi and Huang Xiaoming are good friends, and the role of Xu Wenqiang was specially reserved for him.
Xu Wenqiang, the banner of "Shanghai Bund", is the absolute center of attention.
Of course, it’s definitely not easy to act.
After all, Chow Yun-fat’s pearls are ahead.
But it is definitely a good project.
Huang thought about it again and again, but finally refused. He was more optimistic about "Painted Skin" and Zhang Chen's favor.
Because "Painted Skin" could not be launched smoothly, Zhang Chen compensated him with a small role in "Hurricane Rescue".
It shows that Zhang Chen is an honest person. If "Painted Skin" really cannot be launched, Zhang Chen will definitely return this favor.
Now he made the right bet, "Painted Skin" was successfully launched, and he is still the male lead.
As for "The Night Banquet", there is no need to mention it.
I don’t know which male lead is in "Painted Skin" or "The Banquet", but even a fool knows how to choose?
Back to Zhang Chen, he was willing to give this guarantee mainly because he knew Huang Xiaoming’s life trajectory.
It’s actually not easy for this guy to get ahead.
He was specially recruited into Nortel because of his good image.
The goal of the Nortel Performance Department is very clear. What they want to cultivate is stars.
Huang Xiaoming's situation would definitely be rejected if he was placed in a Chinese drama.
The same goes for Chen Minghao.
Based on Chen Minghao’s appearance, he had a chance to get into the Chinese Theater Academy. Because the Chinese Theater Academy recruits students according to the position of “young, clean, but ugly”, he would 100% fail to get into Nortel.
When he was in school, Huang Xiaoming's performance was not outstanding. His classmates were getting jobs one after another, but he couldn't.
He received his first advertisement when he was a sophomore and earned 1,500 yuan.
In 2000, Chen Kun, who was in the same class, became famous with "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", and Huang Xiaoming also took on his first drama "Internet Bug Diary".
But Chen Kun is famous, he is not.
He only became famous with the 2001 film "The Emperor of Han".
The film "Emperor of Han Dynasty" was also missed. At first, the producer wanted to find Chen Kun, but Chen Kun was not available, so the head teacher recommended Huang Xiaoming, and then Huang got the opportunity to star in "Emperor of Han Dynasty" .
After "Emperor of the Han Dynasty", he became famous and signed a contract with Century Elements, the company of Guan Xige's father.
Brother Guanxi's father is just as unreliable as Brother Guanxi.
Century Elements was in financial crisis when the contract was signed. The stock of Junlei International, a company owned by Guan Xige’s father, plummeted, and his net worth evaporated by over 100 million yuan.
Not to mention that he couldn't be given any resources to help him, and he even had to rely on buskers to pay off his debts.
Huang Xiaoming was able to take over the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" entirely because of himself, not to mention the gifts, since the company did not contribute any part.
Then, in turn, the company sued him for filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" without permission.
In the end, Huang probably paid some price and the two parties settled out of court.
Huang Xiaoming also became a free agent.
Isn’t it true that the road to stardom is bumpy? It’s much bumpier than other male artists. If you don’t pay attention, you will fall.
It can be said that his ability to become a big shot in the entertainment industry in later generations is entirely dependent on himself, especially his high emotional intelligence.
Relying on his knowledge of life, he got to know many big shots, including the Xiangs and his wife of China Star, Lin Jianyue of Asia Entertainment, and the Wang brothers of Huayi.
Don't think that it's easy to be brothers with a big boss, it's very difficult~
If you exceed it, you will be flattering, if you fail to do it, you will be disrespectful. This degree is difficult to grasp.
No matter how much people who are bigger than him want to do it, they can’t do it.
Huang relied on these to gradually become a figure in the circle, otherwise how could Angela have so many resources.
After Huang Xiaoming finished speaking, Wu Shixian and Cheng Er looked at each other and picked up their wine glasses. "Director Zhang, Mr. Chen Xi, we would also like to express our thanks for your appreciation. Cheng Er and I have often discussed in private that with our qualifications, being able to participate in a project of the level of "Painted Skin" is simply a step away. What a bad luck..."
Wu Shixian's words were very interesting. When the two of them toasted, he was basically the one talking, while Cheng Er giggled beside him.
After hearing this, Zhang Chen and Chen Xi also looked at each other and picked up their wine glasses.
"Then let me say a few words~"
Wu Cheng and the two people opposite them thought that they would finish the toast with a toast, but seeing that Zhang Chen wanted to comment on them, they immediately pricked up their ears. .
Zhang Chen has always been the focus of the dinner party. When he saw that he was about to speak, the other people chatting immediately stopped and listened attentively.
Zhang Chen spoke: "Today I was still chatting with Mr. Chen Xi, saying that the arrival of you two has relieved a lot of my burden."
Chen Xi smiled and nodded beside him, indicating that it was so Something happened.
Zhang Chen continued: "Not to mention that we are all from Nortel, I recognize your business capabilities alone.
In the early preparations, Wu Shixian ran around, and we The scenes we are shooting now are all created with your help, which is very good.
Cheng Er, I know that many of the shots in "Painted Skin" are due to you. Our director of photography, Song Xiaofei, has mentioned to me several times that you are a talent.
I am very lucky that I chose you to be my assistant director, otherwise I would have been exhausted. "
Zhang Chen said this is really not about trying to win people's hearts. With his current status, he doesn't need to do this.
As long as the rumor is spread that the crew of "Painted Skin" needs an assistant director, the first The threshold has to be crossed in two days.
But the assistant director and the assistant director are also different.
Wu Shixian and Cheng Er did a really good job.
The daily shooting plan was arranged in an orderly manner. Zhang Chen only needed to inform the two of his thoughts and intentions the day before, and ensure that the arrangements were complete the next day.
In addition, Cheng Er really helped with the splitting of shots, which reduced a lot of workload for him as a director and photographer.
Neither of these two people are very famous in later generations, but they do have some abilities. Zhang Chen feels that if the opportunity is right, they can cultivate them.
“So today’s cup is not for you to toast us, but for us to toast you. Thank you for joining the crew of “Painted Skin”~”
Zhang Chen's words were so beautiful that the two people opposite him flushed with excitement.
If Zhang Chen had a system, the message he received now must be:
Loyalty +10 from Wu Shixian~
Loyalty +10 from Cheng Er~
Recognition from a great director is not only recognition, but also an opportunity for the future.
Seeing Zhang and Chen toasting, Wu Shixian and Cheng Er drank without hesitation.
The fact that scholars died for their confidants is probably a true reflection of their current mood.
At this time, other people at the table also praised the two of them in twos and threes. Usually, the assistant director has the most contact with them. They can tell at a glance what they are like and their abilities.
The two people’s dedicated efforts have indeed been recognized by everyone.
Huang Xiaoming, in particular, kept pouring out good words. He still owed Wu Shixian a favor, so he took the opportunity to pay it back.
The group of people chatted and talked about movies again.
"Painted Skin" and "Nie Xiaoqian" are both stories in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", which were individually picked out and adapted into movies.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" is already a successful trilogy, and everyone can't help but think of "Painted Skin".
According to Star Entertainment's plan, "Painted Skin" is also a trilogy. Will this be another classic series?
“I remember Brother Xiao Ming acted in a movie called “New Liaozhai” last year?”
Huang Xiaoming nodded: "Yes, it was produced by Tang Dynasty, as well as Hu Ge, Lin Zhiying and Li Binbin. I remember Yang Xiaomi also had a role in it~"
"Yes, I played in it It’s Xiaoqian~”
Yang Xiaomi didn’t find any chance to speak tonight.
Congratulations to everyone, Xiaoqian can be regarded as the protagonist of a unit in it.
“Thank you, thank you~”
Yang Xiaomi handed over her hand, "She is a little heroine, but I think the filming is not good. It is not as good as the old version of "Liao Zhai". Maybe she is afraid of not being able to review it. The filming is not scary at all, more like a glamorous one." Story."
The old version of "Liao Zhai" he was talking about was the 1988 version of "Liao Zhai".
Most of the people here are born in the 70s and 80s. They may not have read the "Liao Zhai" book, but most of them have watched the 1988 version of the "Liao Zhai" TV series.
This is a classic on the same level as "The Romance of the Gods" and "The Legend of Jigong".
Although it is not as good as "Journey to the West", it is still a fine product.
"Stop talking about it. That white lantern and the opening music make me scared now when I think about it."
Qin Lan's words resonated with everyone:
"Yes, When I watched it, I was both looking forward to it and afraid at the same time~"
“That’s right, I still can’t figure it out. It’s just a white lantern and the whistle of the wind, how can it be so scary~”
“The story of beheading , I forgot the name, it’s too scary~”
""Judge", that unit is called "Judge"~" Some people remember it vividly.
“I remember that after watching it every day, my mother didn’t dare to turn off the TV, so she asked me to turn it off, but I was afraid too~” The person sharing this time is Chen Xi.
“Some people in our village were so frightened that they had a fever after watching the first episode of “Liao Zhai” that night~”
Horrifying memories came flooding in, and everyone chattered and shared their feelings about that year. .
Zhang Chen's thoughts spread: "Just now Yang Xiaomi said that the new version of "Liao Zhai" is not scary at all. In fact, the original "Liao Zhai" novel is not that scary.
In ancient times, although "Liao Zhai" was a fantasy novel, it was more often read as a pornographic book. "
"What? Pornographic book? ”
The eyes of the men present suddenly lit up.
The women’s eyes lit up too, but they immediately pretended to be confused.
Well, what is a pornographic book? ?
"Hmm~, just like today's stallion article."
Zhang Chen looked at everyone's expressions and saw that they were all thirsty for knowledge. Sure enough, pornography was the primary productive force.
“Didn’t you find that many of the stories in "Liao Zhai" are very sexy?
"Wei Gongzi" has a speed comparable to Ximen Qing, and has countless sex partners in his life, and they are both men and women.
But the pedophile and prostitute he met later turned out to be his own sons and daughters respectively! ”
Everyone was shocked. Not many people had read the original work, but just listening to it felt very restrictive.
“There is also the story of "Fu Hu":
An unlucky boy was entangled by a fox demon. He met an old Chinese doctor who said I can save you, and the medicine he prescribed turned out to be It’s just an aphrodisiac.
So I took the medicine and started to have sex with the fox, and I frightened my partner~
Naturally, I won’t be harmed by the fox demon!”
Everyone was shocked.
"Mr. Pu is also an old and dishonest person. After writing this story, he commented with gusto:
He said that he had a friend in his hometown whose penis was as big as Lao Ai.
< br>You all know Lao Ai, the one who wants to be Qin Shihuang’s father.
She pretends to be an eunuch, but secretly she is Zhao Ji’s male favorite. It is said that Ding Ding can turn the wheel. ”
< br>
This time, the men all showed meaningful smiles, and the women also showed meaningful smiles.
Everyone smiles at each other.
"The story of "Fox League" also has a plot of two people, and "Feng Sanniang" also has a plot of lily. It can only be said that ancient people had more fun than we imagined~"
< br>"Then "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is indeed a pornographic book~" Huang Xiaoming finished firmly.
Qin Lan, who was next to him, quickly kicked him under the table.
"Yes, Mr. Pu came down to watch "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" for male audiences, and most of them are poor scholars at the bottom.
They can't change their fate in reality, so Mr. Pu will give it to them Create a dream and let them find spiritual sustenance in the dream."< br>
“It seems to be true~”
“That’s not the case, “Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio” is full of men’s lust for all kinds of money and beauty~”
What the hell, isn’t this the same as the current stallion web articles?
"China Entertainment: Can Directors Still Be Obscene?"
By the way, this book was originally called "China Entertainment: Starting from Monster Movies". How come it ended up like this after just writing?
The author reflects on himself, I have a responsibility~
But readers, don’t they have any responsibility?
Haha~
Who taught me in the comments how to write Chinese entertainment articles.
……
After a meal, everyone became more energetic as they drank.
At nearly eleven o'clock, the banquet ended.
The wine party is over, but everyone is still in high spirits because they learned a lot today.
Especially I learned a lot about the life of ancient people.
The driver did not drink and drove everyone back to the hotel where the crew was staying.
"See you tomorrow~"
"See you tomorrow, Director Zhang~"
"Have a good rest, see you tomorrow, Director Zhang~"
Everyone greeted each other and returned to their rooms.
Tonight we mainly chatted and drank not much, about half a pound per person.
Logically speaking, not much, but everyone's face was flushed, as if they had drank a pound each.
Zhang Chen was about to wash up when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
He thought it was someone who was asking for a dive. He checked the status and felt that it was no good. Anyone who could do anything after drinking white wine was just bragging.
Just as he was about to open the door to refuse, when the door opened, he found Huang Xiaoming standing outside.
Huh?
Zhang Chen didn't show any vigilance at all, and Qin Lan was standing next to him.
Huang Xiaoming outside the door didn't know Zhang Chen's psychological activities, and said with a smile: "Director, my family sent me some specialties, Jimo old wine. I know that Director Zhang is also a wine lover, so take it Let me give you a taste~"
Huang Xiaoming handed over a gift box.
"Oh, thank you, thank you. I haven't drank it yet. I'll try it another day~"
Zhang Chen took it with a smile.
Of course Qingdao is most famous for its beer, but he has also heard the name of Jimo Old Wine.
Seeing Zhang Chen accept the gift, Huang Xiaoming continued: "In addition, how many days of leave would I like to ask Director Zhang for?"
"Ask for leave?"
"Well, on March 17th, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will premiere on Zhejiang Station. Director Zhang Jizhong has a premiere. I have to attend it~"
"Oh, that's what happened. ." Zhang Chen nodded. Sure enough, the gift was not for nothing.
"How many days will it take?"
"Two days, I will come back as soon as the event is over." Huang Xiaoming put his attitude very seriously.
“That’s okay, it won’t be in the way. I’ll just adjust the shooting plan when the time comes.”
"Thank you, Director Zhang."
Huang Xiaoming wanted to say it just now, but at the banquet table he said it was inappropriate, so he held it in until the banquet was over before he came to Zhang Chen alone to ask for leave.
Zhang Chen thought everything was fine, and was about to close the door, but was held down by Brother Xiao Ming again. This time, his expression was a little awkward. He looked around and then whispered: "That Director Zhang, "Liao Zhai" Do you still have the original book here?"
"Yes, you want to read it?"
Brother Xiao Ming nodded: "Well, I want to read the original story of "Painted Skin" It helps me understand the characters~”
Zhang Chen suddenly felt blessed. He glanced at Huang Xiaoming, and then at Qin Lan next to him, with that look: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Huang Xiaoming smiled innocently, which was regarded as acquiescence, and Zhang Chen handed over the book. She stuffed her hand into his arms: "Okay, I understand, you want to audition with Qin Lan, go back and try it out~ "
"Thank you, director~"
Brother Xiao Ming has nothing to be embarrassed about. We are all men~
He actually wanted to come to ask for leave last night, but he walked to the door. , when I heard that Director Zhang was instructing Xiao Wei on her acting skills, I consciously left quietly.
...
I am very satisfied with the writing of this chapter
I will go to the cardiovascular hospital to check my cardiac enzymes tomorrow. I am afraid of death
Also, it is the end of the month, please give me a monthly pass
