Chapter 33 ‘Quest’

It's not surprising that Brother Jiu doesn't know this famous saying of Stanislavski. In the 1950s and 1960s, this famous saying was usually posted on the bedside of the dormitory of the drama school, admonishing everyone who looked at it before going to bed.

student.

The person who told Li Suan this sentence was Li Suan's first master, Director Han.

Later, Li Suan heard that Director Han's father was also a screenwriter, but not a famous one. He immediately understood why Director Han drank too much every time. He either cursed people and caused trouble, or locked himself in the room and turned on the gramophone that played songs from the former Soviet Union.

to the maximum.

Then, Director Han sang.

Yes, this seemingly useless man knows some Russian. It is said that my sister-in-law was attracted to him because he could sing the Russian version of "The Dawns Here Are Quiet".

Maybe Director Han was once an ambitious young man who wanted to make a name for himself in this world. Unfortunately, the sky in this world is only as big as the palm of your hand, so there was no place for him to fly.

Director Han also has a famous saying, which he said to Li Suan. He said that a man is like a dove. As long as his wings are clipped, he will be a plastic bag blown up by the wind.

Li Shuan doesn't want to be a plastic bag. Although Xianyun Yehe's life is good, after the drunkenness, he is just a rich man bragging about his young model... But if he continues to hang out in this circle, how dissatisfied will he be?

If there are too many things, you will long for love. At least you have to pretend to be in love. If you don't perform well, you will be next in line, just like choosing a concubine.

But it’s all about choosing a concubine, can there be love?

Life is not a TV series. In life, there are gains and losses.

"What do you love about you? What do you mean? Say something that can be understood." Brother Jiu is obviously uneducated, but he is rich. Li Suan doesn't want to explain, so he can only divert the trouble away.

"Let's go see the director and let him explain it to you."

"You guys who are doing art are trouble, you're all a problem."

Li Suan waited until he got in the car to ask what was wrong, and he heard Brother Jiu complain about it. It was Director Yang's habit to write scripts and film dramas at the same time. The reason why he had this habit was because Director Yang felt that he was following

No, in this era that demands more and more efficiency, in the past, when writing scripts, one used a pen to determine the subject matter. First, one went to a place to experience life for three months. If he didn’t understand it through the experience, he would experience it for another three months.

Later, when I got money and a laptop, I also had capital as my stepfather. Capital didn’t care about any art. All it wanted was efficiency, efficiency in writing scripts, efficiency in filming, efficiency in making money, so filming was no longer necessary.

The art of excellence has become: a task to be completed within a fixed time; a project whose benefits can be estimated on a chart.

Director Yang still has a certain level of artistic accomplishment, so he requires screenwriters to join the team and write and shoot at the same time, never letting go of any sudden inspiration. Often, he would finish writing an episode of the script today, but because of a certain line in yesterday's scene

Every line, a certain reaction, this episode was all written in vain.

Therefore, Teacher Zhang, the leader of the Sudden Death Team, and Director Yang, a maniac who rewrites scripts, are truly a match made in heaven.

"Brother Jiu, the director did the right thing." Li Suan could only say this.

Brother Jiu said: "I know, why don't you just curse a few words? Everyone is here to make money, so you have to torment people like this. Let me tell you, everyone really didn't get a penny from this show, it's so cold

My God, how many people can stand it after staying up late every day? When you meet the director, you can give me a few words when you have time."

Li Suan met Brother Jiu's gaze and could only smile and say: "Put it on me."

"I know you are reliable. When this scene is finished, I will take you to have fun."

Li Suan smiled and nodded, and then listened to Brother Jiu bragging all the way.

Times have changed, and Director Yang's artistic concept is no longer popular. He has been scolded by his subordinates and looked down upon by the main creator, but young audiences still don't want to see what he has produced. If they don't like to watch it, it means it has no voice, and if it has no voice, it means

It's hard to make money.

So why?

Why do you still have to suffer this fate even though you are so old?

Passing through the path behind the courtyard, you can enter a "broken temple" from the side of the building. There is a stone wall next to the place where the Buddha statue was originally placed, but a hole was opened. Inside is where Director Yang stayed.

Neither the assistant director nor Director Yang's female assistant knew Li Suan, but seeing that he was coming with Brother Jiu, they let him go all the way. It was getting very late, and depending on the situation, today was destined to be another sleepless night.

"The director dozed off."

The female assistant reminded him softly. Brother Jiu said he had received it, and then asked Li Suan what to do. Li Suan signaled that Brother Jiu was fine and walked in alone.

Several monitors filled one wall. Sitting in one corner was the actor's assistant director, and in the other corner were the art teacher and props teacher. When several people saw Li Suan coming in, they were a little curious, but they didn't ask.

Li Suan walked behind Director Yang and saw that on the monitor facing him, Wu Jiaqilong and Wang Jiaziwen were on standby. Obviously Director Yang could not sleep for long.

When he lowered his head, Li Suan saw the huge 'wealth bag' behind Director Yang's neck. Li Suan leaned down and said, "Director, can I press it for you?"

Director Yang said ‘hmm’, like he was talking in a dream.

Li Suan took a look at the 'wealth bag' and pressed it with his only right hand that could still move.

This is a unique skill that he later learned at a great expense from his Internet brother. Film and television workers usually have this "wealth bag" on the back of their necks. How to press people comfortably and relieve pain symptoms is Li Suan's specialty.

Director Yang felt sore and distended at the beginning, but later he felt better. Instead of humming, he began to snore.

An old man in his sixties can't bear to do this every day.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A call came on the assistant director's walkie-talkie. The actors were already in place and they wanted to start filming.

Before the assistant director could hesitate, Director Yang opened his eyes and picked up the intercom in front of him: "Let's walk through it first."

Director Yang didn't notice Li Suan at all. He watched the actors go through the script before calling the filming to start.

Li Suan stood behind Director Yang and watched the performances of the two actors on the monitor. With ten years of screenwriting experience, he could naturally tell the good from the bad.

"How did you come?"

Li was so entranced by the sight that he didn't notice when Director Yang saw him.

"I thought I'd come over to see you and say goodbye."

"Where are you going?"

Li Suan said: "Go home."

Another voice came from the intercom, and Director Yang yelled at it: "Do it again, do it again, why don't you wake up? Five minutes, adjust your mood!"

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Director Yang looked at Li Suan: "In your current state, you might as well go back and rest for a while. When you come to Yanjing again, come to my house and introduce a few people to you."

This is a bit like taking on a disciple.

Li Suan didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything about not wanting to come to Yanjing again.

When he was ignorant, he thought the world was very small, but when he became sensible, he felt that even Yanjing was too big. In his previous life, at this age, he never took the landscape paintings as wallpaper on his computer seriously. That was because he felt that the future

There are endless possibilities. If you want to go, you can leave at any time.

Only later did I realize that life is like a file that can file everything, both tangible and intangible, from big to small.

Li Shuan squatted next to Director Yang. As a practitioner, he might be ashamed to ask such a question, but he was really curious.

"Director, tell me, what is art?"

Director Yang looked at Li Suan without knowing why. The old man's eyes seemed a little surprised. It would be too arrogant to hide something in front of an old guy who is good at reading people's minds.

"I have never lied to you. I really don't want to do it anymore."

the reason is simple.

previous life.
