Chapter 99 'Golden Age' (seeking for further reading)
"Golden Age Theory?"
"Yes, a denial of the painful present, too nostalgic. It is a fallacy that believes Other times are better than the one we live in now. It is a romantic flaw caused by those who cannot cope with the current life."
"Well, let me give you a simple example. According to the setting in the script, the male protagonist believes that Paris in the 1920s was the most beautiful era because of his failures in real life, so he yearns for it even more, and thus he enters a wonderful time and space.”
Xiang Yang’s explanation made Liu Qianqian seem to understand. It was difficult for her to understand this wonderful setting, but she found it very interesting.
Looking at Flamel and Damien on the side, she turned her head and winked at Xiang Yang, "Then if according to your description, when the male protagonist traveled to the 1920s, the people he met also had their own golden age. What will happen? "
"Wait, say it again." Damien Chazelle took out a pen and paper, and his neck looked a little red because of excitement.
"I" Liu Qianqian suddenly looked embarrassed.
Feeling that she had said something wrong, she quickly explained: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just wanted to play suddenly."
Xiang Yang saw Liu Qianqian being so panicked and glared at the excited Dami Well, then he patted his girlfriend's arm and said, "Speak boldly, the idea you just had is very interesting."
"Is it interesting?" Liu Qianqian was confused.
Le Maire snickered, "Yes, Liu, I finally understand why you can make Xiang Mi fascinated."
"I didn't"
A shy smile hung on her face, she bit her lip lightly, and Liu Qianqian repeated what she had said.
"Liu, this idea is really perfect. In this way, the story will be richer. Why didn't I think of it?"
After recording, Damien praised Liu Qianqian for being such an inspiration.
What an exquisite design. This idea not only makes the whole story more full, but also makes the story itself more fantasy-rich, making people think about it from a deeper level. It simply gives this story a more powerful feel. The soul.
"No, maybe you are too focused on the story itself." Liu Qianqian waved her hands nervously.
During the first lunch, Damien had just finished explaining his setting, and Flamel and Xiangyang could immediately understand what the other wanted to express and the central idea of the story.
Only I have been wondering what the ‘golden age’ is.
"No, Liu, this is talent. You must read a lot of books, right?" Damien put down his pen and asked with a smile.
"Uh" Liu Qianqian was a little embarrassed to be looked at. She scratched her hair shyly and said softly: "After getting to know Xiangyang, I read some useful books."
" "Xiang?" Damien, who didn't expect that this matter was related to Xiang Yang, looked at Xiang Yang teasingly, and then asked: "Troublesome Xiang, who has read poetry and books, do you have any new inspiration to come up with to smooth things over? Am I filled with jealousy? "
"." I was admiring my girlfriend's shy face. After hearing this, I was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, if you set the story according to this level, , then I think you should not use a carriage when you first come up. It is better to use an early car, and then use a carriage when the people in the 1920s take the hero to his golden age.
Also. What do you think of the midnight clock as a time point for time and space transition? ”
"The clock at midnight?"
"Yes, can you think of a classic setting beyond the pumpkin car and the clock at midnight?"
"Uh" Damien immediately said He understood what Xiang Yang meant. He was naturally familiar with the classic setting of "Cinderella" in "Grimm's Fairy Tales".
Although he appreciates the opera version of "Cinderella" more.
That version is the real classic. It removes the fairy elements of Cinderella, does not have the fairy wand, pumpkin carriage and midnight bells. It also removes the magic glass slipper that only children believe in, making the whole The story returns and becomes a true story with a clear distinction between love and hate and full of ethical lessons.
While he was thinking about it, Liu Qianqian glanced over and looked at Xiang Yang angrily when no one was paying attention.
I just named him the 'Pumpkin Driver' yesterday, and today he is
Xiang Yang, who took a deep look at her, coughed, picked up the water glass, took a sip and asked: "Speaking of the golden age, do you have one?"
"I, I think it's similar to the setting, but it's not Paris." Damien, who loves jazz dance, answered first. "Golden Age?" Flamel frowned, and after thinking carefully, he gave the golden age in his mind, Paris in the 1890s.
Moreover, he also gave the reason why he liked Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a French aristocrat and post-Impressionist painter.
"Then you are not the same idol as Picasso, and you don't look alike, haha." Xiangyang laughed when he heard this.
This is completely different from Le Maire's usual fashion design style.
Le Maire shrugged, looked at Liu Qianqian and asked: "What about you? Dear Liu."
"Me?" Liu Qianqian smiled slightly, "If it is the original, I think I probably want to go back to the Bolshoi Theater in 1877, hehe.”
"Oh? "Swan Lake"?" Damien was the first to react.
As Darren's former subordinate, he knew that the other party was planning to make a film inspired by Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake".
Having checked the information for the other party, he is naturally more sensitive.
"Well, yes." Liu Qianqian shook her head slightly, turned to look at Xiang Yang, and asked curiously: "What about you?"
"Me?" Xiang Yang picked up the He took a sip of water from the water glass and couldn't help but smile when he thought about this question.
"I think it's good now."
After saying that, Xiang Yang moved his eyes to Liu Qianqian's face, "The time to meet you is just right."
Hearing this , Liu Qianqian's ears flushed with a swish, and a primitive instinct began to take over her heart.
How could this damn guy say such shameful things in public.
This is a foul!
But their actions undoubtedly aroused dissatisfaction between Damien and Flamel, because Xiang Yang's words were in Chinese.
Le Maire, who was very close to Xiang Yang, behaved quite well. He just rolled his eyes at Xiang Yang dissatisfied. Damien, who has been living in the United States, is obviously a straight man. He pointed directly at Xiang Yang and expressed his dissatisfaction:
"Xiang, you are such an annoying guy, I will definitely write you into the list. In my movie, I will definitely do what I say.”
“Really, I’m looking forward to it.” Damien, who was facing a fierce look, smiled back and immediately said:
“I just told my girlfriend that I think it’s fine now.
After all, we are in love. "
He turned his head sideways as he said, "But what I said is the truth. "
"I think so now too. "Liu Qianqian smiled with curved eyebrows, her clear eyes filled with her inner love, and responded to Xiang Yang.
Yes, what she just said was 'originally'.
"Damn it. ! I hate Paris so much! "When Damien saw the two of them being so close, it felt like he had returned to yesterday. When he was upset, he said angrily to Liu Qianqian:
"I will also write you into my movie, Liu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Flamel laughing next to him:
"That must be a very romantic one. Story? "
How should I put it? Liu Qianqian just came to Europe and started. Because Xiang Yang couldn't write scripts and wasn't from the film industry, he could only help Liu Qianqian fully integrate into it. But I don’t want to write Liu Qianqian as a vase character, and Liu Qianqian is not the tool of this book. This is a complete waste of her. Therefore, the recent paragraphs focus on Liu Qianqian's contribution to the film, hoping to reasonably reflect her deep participation in the film's creative process. Instead, when others see that she is Xiang Yang's girlfriend, they say: "Liu, come and play a role with me"
