Entertaining Children

"You want me to star? Why?" Xiao Yao asked in amazement, "I've never made a feature film, but only acted in a TV series and a short film, and it was almost six years ago and two years ago. Before. There are so many excellent actors in Huaxia, why did you pick me?"

"Because I think you can act well!" Zhan Youcheng said, "Although you have only acted in one TV series and one short film, you have won the domestic newcomer award for TV shooting, and the short film you made has also won awards abroad. I don’t understand the matter, but you have won awards for acting twice, your acting skills are good after all, right? Those two awards are not just any pheasant awards.”

"The award for the short film is for the film, not for me as an actor." Xiao Yao reminded with a wry smile.

"But if the actors in it don't perform well, the short film itself won't win the award, right?" Zhan Youcheng said.

"This..." Xiao Yao had nothing to say. In all honesty, Xiao Yao also felt that his performance in "The Tuner" was pretty good, and it would be hypocrisy to insist that it was not good.

"Also," Zhan Youcheng continued, "my story is about what happened during the earthquake last year. During the earthquake last year, you were the only acting star who participated in the rescue work at the scene. You feel more deeply about the earthquake when you are on the scene. You are the reporter who interviewed me today, and you are the most familiar with my story, and you should have the deepest feeling.”

"In my eyes, you are the most suitable candidate." Zhan Youcheng finally said, "I don't think anyone can act better than you!"

"Thank you for your affirmation." Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, then shook his head and said, "But a film is not counted as pre-production, if only the shooting time is counted, it will take at least one or two months if it is fast, and half a year if it is slow There are even those that have been filmed for several years. I am still a student and I still have to go to school, so I am afraid I don’t have that long time to make movies.”

"It's okay, I can wait for your vacation, or even wait for you to graduate. It's not that I want to make this movie, I'm not in a hurry." Zhan Youcheng said with a smile, "In short, I will take this as a condition of my authorization and require the production The film party wrote it into the contract."

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Yao smiled wryly, "I will pass on your request to the producer and director. But having said that, now I just think your story is suitable for being adapted into a movie, my mother and the producer I don't know about you yet. I don't know whether they will be interested in this story as much as I am, and whether they will want to film it. I just asked them about your intentions in advance. "

"That is to say, it's possible that they didn't like my story at all, and didn't plan to make it into a movie?" Zhan Youcheng asked.

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded, "There is another possibility that they originally wanted to shoot, but because you added such a harsh condition, they decided not to shoot. Don't think that the director is my mother, She must think that I am suitable for this role. This is her first film, and she will be very cautious, besides, I don't know who the producer is and what the producer thinks about the actors."

"It's okay, I understand." Zhan Youcheng said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, but if you want to shoot, I have such a request."

"No, you don't care, I do." Xiao Yao said, "I really want to put your story on the big screen. If my mother decides not to film your story, I will film it myself Come out. Except, if I’m doing the filming myself, it’s not a recent event.”

"It doesn't matter who does the filming, it doesn't matter when it is filmed, as long as it is you who will act." Zhan Youcheng emphasized again.

"Okay, I see." Xiao Yao nodded, and continued, "I still need to take a few photos for the news report. I don't want to take this kind of photo casually with my mobile phone, but I'm here today Jiang Yan’s family is a guest, and the camera was left in the hotel room without bringing it with me, can I bring the camera to your store tomorrow to take some photos of you and your store?”

"Can.

Zhan Youcheng nodded, "I open the door at nine o'clock every morning. If you go after nine o'clock, I will always be in the store." Jiang Yan knows the address of my shop. "Since he agreed to be interviewed, Zhan Youcheng didn't have any objection to taking pictures.

"Okay, I'll look for you in your store after nine o'clock tomorrow." Xiao Yao said, "If the report passes the review and can be published, I will notify you. I will mention the movie adaptation to my mother when I go back. Whether it works or not, I will also tell you the result. So, will you give me your contact information?"

"No problem!" Zhan Youcheng took out a pad and pen from the drawer under the coffee table, wrote down his contact information, handed it to Xiao Yao, and then took the business card on the coffee table in front of him and put it away. , "I also left your business card!"

"Then let's stop here today. Thank you for talking to me so much today." Xiao Yao stood up from the sofa, stretched out his hand to Zhan Youcheng, and said, "I won't disturb your rest anymore." Put away Zhan Youcheng's Xiao Yao is also ready to end this meeting.

"You're welcome, I should thank you too!" Zhan Youcheng reached out to shake Xiao Yao's hand, then smiled, "Go slowly, I won't stand up to see you off!"

"No, don't be polite." Xiao Yao looked at Zhan Youcheng's crutches next to the seat, and suddenly thought of another question, "You just said that the place you amputated was the calf, so it should be able to be used as a prosthesis? You You’ve been using this all the time, haven’t you considered wearing prosthetics?”

Physical disabilities can be fitted with artificial limbs, that is, prosthetic limbs. Compared with the decorative function of upper limb prosthetics, lower limb prostheses can assist walking, which are much more useful than upper limbs, and they are relatively more personable.

"It can be installed." Zhan Youcheng said, "But the hospital can't install it, you need to go to a professional prosthetic company for assembly. Wearing a prosthesis requires attention to many issues, such as cleaning the prosthesis, and the place where it touches the prosthesis will hurt. , it may wear out the skin where it touches and cause wound infection. It is very troublesome and there are certain risks. There is no such specialized prosthetic company in Wuyou County. It’s not inconvenient, and you can avoid the problems that may arise from wearing prosthetics, so you don’t bother to go to a prosthetic company in a big city to install prosthetics.”

"Oh." Xiao Yao nodded, did not continue this topic, took Jiang Yan to leave, and left Zhan Youcheng's family.

"Is it impossible to climb mountains with prosthetics?" Xiao Yao had a question in his heart, but he didn't say it out, but planned to inquire first.

"Brother Cheng can only chat with our family members besides his friends who climb mountains," Jiang Yan said as he came downstairs from Zhan Youcheng's house and looked at Xiao Yao, "but he will talk to Xiao Yao tonight." You said more than you said to our family. Brother Xiao, you are really amazing. "

"I was doing an interview," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "He doesn't speak, how can I write a press release?"

"Then when can I see the news you wrote?" Jiang Yan asked.

"It's hard to say," Xiao Yao said, "If it goes well, it will be the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and it may take a month if it is the slowest."

"What kind of newspaper is that? I must buy it and read it." Jiang Yan said again.

"It's hard to say." Xiao Yao said, "There are more than one newspapers and magazines under Xinhua News Agency. There are daily, weekly, semi-monthly and monthly. My reports are sent directly to the headquarters. It depends on what they think of my reports. It is suitable for publication in that kind of newspapers and magazines. When the result is available, I will inform you to buy it."

"Okay." Jiang Yan nodded.

"By the way," Xiao Yao said again, "Usually people must use their real names when publishing news reports, but my situation is quite special. After you read it, keep it secret for me, and don't let others know that the reporter is me, is that okay?"

"Secret again? No problem!" Jiang Yan made an OK gesture, "My family knows that you are here to interview Brother Cheng, and I will let them keep it secret."

After returning to Jiang Yan's house, Xiao Yao didn't stay long, and briefly told Jiang Yan's family that the interview with Zhan Youcheng went smoothly, thanked the Jiang family for their hospitality, and then left.

Back in the hotel room, Xiao Yao simply took a shower, turned on the computer and wrote the press release. Although Xiao Yao's memory is so strong that he won't forget it even after a while, but now that he just finished talking with Zhan Youcheng, it is not only the time when he remembers the deepest, but also the time when he feels the deepest in his heart. There is no activity tonight. I plan to finish the written manuscript tonight, so that tomorrow it will be accompanied by pictures and sent directly to Xinhua News Agency through the Internet.

Xiao Yao planned to tell Ye Jiaying about Zhan Youcheng's matter as a movie script material. It's hard to say whether a story I heard and a news report published in newspapers and magazines have the same effect on Ye Jiaying's side, but the feeling on the producer's side is definitely different. So Xiao Yao also hopes that this report can be published as soon as possible, so that Ye Jiaying and the producer will be more likely to choose this story.

According to the original plan, everyone was going to set off for Guangyuan early the next morning, but Xiao Yao made an appointment with Zhan Youcheng yesterday to go to his shop to take pictures with him after nine o'clock, obviously he couldn't leave early in the morning. After getting up and gathering in the lobby the next day, Xiao Yao told everyone that there were still some private matters to be dealt with in Wuyou County, which might take half a day. This event is over, if you are willing to wait for him, you can go together later, if you have something to do, you can also carpool and leave first.

It’s only half a day’s journey from Wuyou County to Guangyuan. Even if you set off at noon, you don’t have to rush to the night. Xiao Yao’s affairs can definitely be settled before noon. Once everyone discussed it, they all expressed their willingness to stay in Wuyou County for an extra half day, waiting for Xiao Yao to come together Walk.

So, some people went back to the upstairs room to sleep, some people went out to visit Wuyou county with great interest, while Xiao Yao drove alone, went to the street to find a place to have breakfast, and then took his time according to yesterday’s routine. The address given by Wan Jiangyan went to Zhan Youcheng's shop.

When Xiao Yao arrived, Zhan Youcheng had just opened the store not long ago. There weren't many guests this morning, so Xiao Yao went directly to the topic with the camera in his arms.

Zhan Youcheng was trapped in the basement warehouse of the store, but the new storefront does not have a basement, but a room is separated at the back as a warehouse. Xiao Yao also regrettably lost the basement warehouse, the subject he really wanted to shoot.

Xiao Yao first took some photos of the store's furnishings, then took some close-up photos of Zhan Youcheng himself, and finally asked carefully to take some photos of Zhan Youcheng's broken leg. Zhan Youcheng readily agreed. But his shop has a glass door, and he didn’t want passers-by on the street to see him just sitting in the shop showing his wounds for people to take pictures, so he temporarily closed the shop door and took Xiao Yao to the separated warehouse at the back Let him shoot.

After entering the warehouse, Xiao Yao carefully observed the injury of Zhan Youcheng's broken leg, and then raised the camera to start shooting. Xiao Yao's shooting was also very careful. Not only did he take more than a dozen shots in a row from different angles, up, down, left, right, front, back, but also he took out the prepared tape measure to take pictures of his wounds.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that Xiao Yao took out a tape measure to take pictures of his wounds, Zhan Youcheng asked a little puzzled.

"Photograph the circumference of the injured leg," Xiao Yao explained, "To break such a thick leg by yourself, the courage and perseverance required are not something ordinary people can do. Given the specific number, this kind of shock will be stronger."

"Well, okay." Zhan Youcheng thought for a while and accepted Xiao Yao's explanation.

After about half an hour, Xiao Yao's filming was over, and the two returned to the front shop again.

After arriving at the store, Xiao Yao did not leave in a hurry, but sat down at the reception table, took out the laptop from his backpack, transferred the photos in the camera to the computer, and edited them immediately. After selecting the photos he thought were suitable and doing some necessary post-processing, Xiao Yao put those photos into the text manuscript he wrote yesterday, and then put the laptop in front of Zhan Youcheng.

"The manuscript is finished, and you are here. You can read it first. If you think there are problems, inappropriate or inconsistent with the facts, I will correct them on the spot." Xiao Yao pointed to the document on the computer screen.

"You've just finished writing it? So fast!" Zhan Youcheng said in surprise.

"I wrote it last night, but just added the photos." Xiao Yao said.

"Excellent," Zhan Youcheng gave a thumbs up, looked down at the computer screen and said, "Let me see."

"What's the matter with this name?" Zhan Youcheng asked while pointing to the computer screen after reading the beginning.

"This is my pseudonym." Xiao Yao said, "My identity is quite special, and the agency specifically allows me to use a pseudonym to sign my name. I hope that people will read my report not because I am a star, but because of the content of the report itself .By the way, this pseudonym, please keep it secret for me."

"Understood, no problem." Zhan Youcheng nodded and continued to read.

"Basically there is no problem," Zhan Youcheng touched his chin and smiled after watching it more than ten minutes later, "No, it's not that there is no problem, it's very good. After reading it, I was moved by myself!"

"As long as there is no problem, then I will post it like this." Xiao Yao took the laptop and said.

"Wait, I don't seem to have seen the photo you took just now with a tape measure on my wound." Zhan Youcheng said doubtfully.

"When I added photos just now, I suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to put the photo with a tape measure on it, and it was useless. I took a lot of photos just now, and I didn't use every one of them. There are always some choices. .” Xiao Yao said.

"Oh." Zhan Youcheng nodded, "What about the useless photos?"

"You don't want to take all the other photos back, do you?" Xiao Yao said, "If you want a copy, I can send it to you, but I also want to keep a copy of these photos as a backup. will come in handy."

"Actually, I didn't intend to ask for it at first," Zhan Youcheng said with a smile, "but since you said so, please make a copy and send it to me. I just remembered that you are a famous photographer. The photos you took , It’s not something that ordinary people can get if they want it.”

"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Do you have a USB flash drive, I will copy it to you."

"Yes!" Zhan Youcheng handed over a USB flash drive. ) Download Free Reader!!
