Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"Have you been invited to the Reunion Festival party?" Wang Xu and Wang Fei were on the bed again, posing in a pose that made them both physically and mentally happy, chatting about each other.

He rested for a few days, leaving his two brothers in the dormitory who were still very busy, and went home to accompany his wife.

"Yes, I'm invited. I haven't decided what to sing yet." Wang Fei's voice is still clear and beautiful, but her tone is more familiar and natural. The aftertaste of passion has long passed. Men and women have their moments of sage.

"Let's cover a song. Teresa Teng's song "When Will the Bright Moon Come?" is very suitable for you." Wang Xu suddenly remembered Wang Fei's cover. It seemed that he had not sung it in this life, so he quickly made up for it.

Of course Wang Xu is still copying songs, but most of them are foreign songs. In fact, many foreign songs are not that good. Many of them give priority to rhythm, and the melody is just that, or there is no market in China.

I often have to create a second time, re-arrange the music, and write the lyrics myself, which is really troublesome.

But the good thing is that the English version is available directly, and it seems to be particularly attractive to music critics.

Britney, Swift, Backstreet Boys and the like are all praised by him. Sometimes I am too lazy to write the lyrics myself, so I find someone else to fill in the lyrics.

For example, Luo Bing, who wrote lyrics for Compass, often wrote lyrics for him. The method was quite simple. Wang Xu now had a recording studio and could record any one by himself.

Just sing: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, it's very happy here." Just talk nonsense like this, and then the lyricist can write lyrics based on this sample, and the effect is pretty good.

This is also the habit of many composers. When they don't know how to write lyrics, they just sing with meaningless words. Of course, some people will give the music directly to the lyricist. It depends on the tacit understanding between the two.

Of course, this kind of tacit cooperation has also resulted in many legends in the music industry, and the songwriters are known as the best partners.

This kind of cooperation between the composer and the lyricist is actually very mysterious. In later generations, Fatty Zhou and Fang Wenshan were a classic pair. They also used a similar method to Wang Xu. As long as the other party can understand it, it is enough.

Wang Xu hasn't put much energy into music recently, and even Wang Fei's own records are free of charge.

Wang Fei was also a creative person. She and Zhou Di worked together to complete the record themselves. Only sometimes when she felt that other people's instruments didn't match well or the harmony wasn't good, she would call Wang Xu over to record.

True Tool Man Wang Xu.

This is good. Wang Xu doesn’t want Wang Fei to not have her own career. Being completely controlled by Wang Xu can certainly reduce some detours, but it also lacks some growth. It will be difficult for Wang Fei’s own composition ability to be developed.

Wang Xu himself, of course, is still thinking about his own movie.

He planned to create some shots first, some beautiful fighting scenes. The martial arts instructor Wang Xu asked Mr. Zou to invite was the original historical martial arts instructor Yuan Jiaban.

In this era, martial arts instructors are not that valuable. It takes a few martial arts instructors to become famous in Hollywood before the price of martial arts instructors will really rise. At this moment, compared to the investment in the entire film, the cost of martial arts instruction is almost negligible.

Even now in Xiangjiang, the Yuan Family Class is considered one of the top groups. Although it is not as famous as Fanglong Fang Family Class and Hong Jinbang's Hong Family Class, it is still a very prestigious group.

Especially Yuan Heping, who is also a famous figure who has won the Academy Award for Best Martial Arts Instructor. He does not have much cooperation with the mainland. I just heard that Mr. Zou said that he has a cooperation project with the mainland and invited him to be a martial arts instructor. There is also some resistance.

But after all, it was Boss Zou who spoke. After all, they cooperated a lot. Although there was an academy recently, the boss still had to give him face. Moreover, the price offered by Jiahe was quite fair. In the end, he accepted the job and sent his younger brother Yuan Xiangren to the imperial capital to see the situation in advance.

Although Yuan Xiangren came here as a martial arts instructor, he is actually also a quite famous action actor. He has played roles in many films in Hong Kong, but most of them were small roles and not well-known.

His most famous image is that of the old beggar in "Kung Fu" who sold Zhou Xingxing's "Tathagata Palm" for ten yuan. Although he didn't have many roles, with the spread of various emoticons, he has become a big figure. I missed it once.

At this time, the entire movie atmosphere in Hong Kong is an era where flowers are burning, and hot money from all walks of life is crazy. White, black, all kinds of funds are invested in this industry.

Kung fu movies are the hottest export product in Hong Kong, so martial arts instructors from all walks of life are also very busy. Wang Xu paid a high price and had boss Zou come forward to invite Yuan Jiaban over.

Although Wang Xu also has his own ideas for various actions in this film, it is better to have a team to help him than to do everything by himself. This is not the time when Wang Xu first started making records a year ago.

He doesn't have to do anything by himself. He puts forward his own ideas and lets the martial arts instructor figure out the best way to implement them.

It's like he understands photography, but still invited Gu Changwei to shoot his movie. The movie is not the work of one person, but the work of a group of people.

The director is of course the one who sets the tone and steers the show, but other people’s work is absolutely indispensable.

Wang Xu is engaged in a brand-new film model, which of course requires more people to participate. He is too lazy to explain to academics how commercial films will be in the future. He only needs to subtly use his results to tell those people what a science fiction film should be. How to shoot.

Wang Xu believed in the learning ability of these filmmakers who were still full of creativity. If Lao Mouzi hadn't become so famous now, he wouldn't have been able to accompany him. Letting him take the lead would probably mess up the tone of the film, which he thought. Cooperate with Lao Mouzi.

Just like what he did in Shuimu, he still plans to make some achievements first. He also thought about whether to make a film first to compete for awards, and then gain fame and then go back to influence the Chinese film industry.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was a waste of time. He was not as free as the previous two years. Mizuki could let him play for a while, but if he was asked to devote himself to making movies or something, I'm afraid he wouldn't be willing. Even if Mizuki reluctantly I promise, the boss won’t like it either.

Wang Xu felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Making a science fiction film was a lot of fun. In fact, it was also a preview of the Chinese film industry on how special effects and science fiction films should be made.

It may be crazy to say this, but Wang Xu really has this confidence. Although most of the actors are Chinese, in the final analysis this film is focused on fighting, special effects and imagination. Ugly country's acceptance of Chinese kung fu films is quite acceptable of.

But before that, Wang Xu still had to go to Diying first. The relationship was introduced by Gu Changwei. Wang Xu and Gu Changwei knew each other on the set of "Farewell My Concubine" and left each other's contact information.

Later, I visited Wang Fei, whom I met many times in "Sunny Days". Later, she and Jiang Wen confirmed that they would film "The Matrix", and they agreed with Gu Changwei to be the cameraman.

Gu Changwei is still working at Imperial Film, so Wang Xu naturally asked him and Jiang Wen to come forward and invite the leadership of Imperial Film. If he plans to make a movie this year, he still needs the labels of major film studios before it can be officially distributed in the country.

Otherwise, you won't even be qualified to make a film. For co-productions, the film studio here has to cooperate with the film company in Hong Kong. It can be said that there are many restrictions.

But Wang Xu doesn't care. Now is not the time to open a film company. After making this film, Wang Xu has no intention of continuing to make it. Didn't you see that he wrote himself to death?

As for the future, it's simple, just leave it to Wang Jinghua and continue to operate. Wang·digging holes but not burying·Xu is so willful.

If you just read the Baidu Encyclopedia, you will be told how different the Imperial Film Studio and the Imperial Film Academy are from each other. What units are different, their nature is different, and their addresses are different.

But if you ask the people in the nearby Imperial City, they are all Emperor Shadows, and you can’t tell them how ugly they are. In fact, the two units are even located next to each other. There is only an extremely narrow path in the middle, and on both sides of that path are the places where many extras stay.

The two units and even the family community are located together, so people from the outside can't tell what the relationship between the two units is.

Wang Xu actually couldn't tell the difference at first. The Imperial Film Academy was probably the first school in the Imperial City to impose access restrictions. In the 1980s, random movement was no longer allowed.

On the other hand, schools such as Mizuki Imperial University still allowed members of the public to enter and exit at will until the 21st century. Only certain teaching buildings and the like may restrict entry and exit.

Don't ask Wang Xu how he knew it. Everyone knew that you could watch free movies at the Imperial Film Academy, and there were also many banned movies. If you could just sneak around, there would have been chaos there.

It seems that several art schools are very careful about their territory. The Imperial Dance Academy, the Imperial Music Academy, the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts, the Chinese Academy of Drama, and the Chinese Academy of Nationalities do not allow outsiders to enter.

Wang Xu in his previous life had always regretted this matter. He knew that the quality of the girls in the academy was first-class.

In this life, Wang Xu has the qualification to run around, and even many college guards know his big motorcycle.

As a result, he lost the interest. Every time he went to these places, he only went there when something really happened.

You say, this person is really going to die from drought or waterlogging. He is honest and will not be deceived.

This time, we naturally made an appointment with the leaders of the Imperial Film School at the back door of the Imperial Film Academy. Since the 1980s, most of the bungalows there have been turned into various restaurants and bars, including many underground film studios. The base is also here.

Wang Xu came here often in his previous life. Many young people who love literature and art like to get together here, drink some wine, and talk loudly, hoping to attract one or two literary girls.

In short, this is an area full of literary and hormonal atmosphere.

Wang Xu and Wang Fei didn't ride motorcycles today, so they asked the driver to send them over. When they went back in the evening, the driver would naturally come to pick them up.

Now that he has money, all kinds of convenient things will naturally come with him. Wang Xu will not pursue pleasure, but he will never refuse all the conveniences that money can buy.

In fact, Wang Fei is like this. She even bought a nanny car in the imperial capital that is the same as the one in Xiangjiang for her own use. She also transferred the assistant from Xiangjiang to the imperial capital, so that she can have it when it is inconvenient for her to go out. a helper.

Fame is a double-edged sword. As the opening process of the imperial capital gradually unfolded, Wang Fei's reputation became more and more popular, and various inconveniences began to slowly appear.

At least, it's no longer easy to wander around as unscrupulously as before. Fortunately, the area near Dongsi is a bungalow area, and the residents there are all from the old imperial capital. Most of them have seen Wang Xu and his wife, and they are basically not that starstruck.

But if you go to a general commercial place or the like, it will easily attract crowds to watch.

This was the case in the 1990s. Any foreigner walking on the street might be mobbed, let alone a celebrity.

The place I chose was Da Li Roast Duck. It is said that the owner learned from Biianfang, another famous roast duck restaurant in the imperial capital. It is famous for its braised oven roast duck. Anyway, the owner said so himself, but the duck does taste good.

Nowadays, many things are not so particular. There are already many things that are being tried and tested. The boss hangs up a sign to boast that he is a craftsman from Bianyifang, and everyone just listens to it. , after all, they don’t have the Bianyifang brand.

There used to be two largest roast duck brands in Imperial City. One was Quanjude, which was where Wang Xu and the others often went to drink duck soup. The old store was at the front door and was famous for its hanging oven roast duck. Later, after it was nationalized, many branches were opened in the imperial capital.

The other is called Biianfang. The old store is in Mishi Hutong outside Xuanwumen. It is said that it existed in the Qing Dynasty, earlier than Quanjude. However, later this group of people conducted historical archeology to the Ming Dynasty and said that Bianyifang originated from Jinling and was later brought to the imperial capital after the capital was moved.

Wang Xu doesn't know whether this is true or not. If people say it's true, he can only listen to it happily. However, given the Jinling people's love for eating ducks, it is not impossible. After all, ducks are not produced in the imperial capital, so it seems that there is indeed some connection there.

It's just that it's hard to say whether it has always been inherited in an orderly manner. After so many wars, who can really say whether it is still the same store in the early years.

The Imperial Capital is not a city of gourmet food. There are only two types of real Imperial City delicacies that can be put on the table, one is roast duck and the other is hot-boiled mutton.

These two are also imported foods in the early years. The roast duck is derived from the roast duck of Jinling, while the hotpot mutton is derived from the military rations of the Manchus. Later, it was localized and improved to form the so-called imperial cuisine.

As for braised pork, stir-fried liver, coke rings, soybean juice, etc., they are considered snacks at most and cannot be put on the table. They are all delicacies of poor people.

The real imperial cuisine is actually royal cuisine, that is, palace cuisine. In the Ming Dynasty, Huaiyang cuisine was the main dish, and in the Qing Dynasty, it was Shandong cuisine, which has nothing to do with the emperor.

The famous Manchu-Han banquet has dishes from all over the country and cannot be considered imperial cuisine at all.

Therefore, when you come to the Imperial Capital, as long as you have eaten roast duck and hot-boiled mutton, you can say that you have eaten the Imperial Capital cuisine. The rest are just a joke.
