Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

The hotel where Yu Dongqing and the others stayed was the Far East Shangri-La Hotel, located in the center of the city. After the three of them checked in, Yu Dongqing unexpectedly met an old acquaintance - the writer Jin Long from Xiangjiang!

This time, Jin Long was nominated for the Best Screenplay Award as the screenwriter of the Hong Kong film "The Gathering of Storms" and made a special trip to attend the ceremony.

Meeting old friends is particularly warm.

"Haha. What a coincidence." Jin Long said in his broken Mandarin:

"I saw that your film "The Swordsman" was nominated for so many awards, and I guess you will come to Beishi. I didn't expect such a coincidence that we would stay in the same hotel. In the evening, I treated you to a nearby tavern called Qilixiang. Well, with a few friends, we won’t go home until we get drunk!”

Jin Long writes martial arts novels, and he has a lot of the heroic demeanor of the original Ancient Dragon of Time and Space.

Yu Dongqing quickly laughed and said that her health has not been very good recently, and the doctor said that she is not suitable for drinking.

"Drink less. Mr. Yu, these friends of mine are not celebrities in the film and television industry, but like me, they all write novels, and most of them are martial arts novels!"

Ah?

Why does it feel like a gathering of heroes?

Yu Dongqing was moved and nodded in agreement.

In the evening, Yu Dongqing took a taxi to the Bafeng Bistro on Yongkang Street.

This is a tavern with a strong Chinese style. It is an antique building in a modern block. It has a stone lion at the door, buckled double doors, wooden windows, and a string of wedge-shaped light holes hanging at the door.

In a daze, Yu Dongqing felt like walking into Longmen Inn.

Yu Dongqing walked into the reserved private room wearing sunglasses. There were already eight or nine people sitting inside, all over forty years old, and three women. Basically, Yu Dongqing didn't recognize them, except for the girl next to him who looked at him and smiled. .

It's Wu Jingqi.

"Brother Yu, we meet again."

The last time the two met was at Yu Dongqing's wedding.

"Yes, we meet each other everywhere in life." Yu Dongqing smiled and sat in the empty seat next to her.

Jin Long introduced them next to each other. As he said, most of the people who came were martial arts novel writers or screenwriters. The only exception was Wu Jingqi, who was a singer and was invited by the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee to sing at the ceremony.

According to her personal statement, she is also a fan of martial arts and knows Jin Long very well. She also took the same flight to Beijing City, so she came to have a drink with him.

After the introduction, everyone started chatting while eating.

The dishes are local dishes from Yilan, Taiwan, such as exotic tofu, three cups of chicken, fried pork liver, etc. The wine is mulled wine served in blue and white porcelain. It is particularly warm and warm after a sip, which makes Yu Dongqing's appetite whet her appetite.

Although most of the people present here are not from the film and television industry, they are obviously very interested in the "Swordsman" from the mainland.

This is the first martial arts film to be shortlisted for so many individual awards since the Golden Horse Awards!

For these martial arts novel writers, it is also a great honor.

Everyone had a lively discussion about this while eating food and drinking.

"Director Yu, what I admire most about your movie are those tricks! What about Dugu Nine Swords, Sunflower Book, and Zixia Magic? Even the names sound romantic and poetic. How did you come up with such unconstrained tricks? ?

"There are so many sects! Even the five mountains have their own sects! But my favorite is the Sun and Moon God Sect."

"I like to shoot that kind of character the most. Linghu Chong's master Yue Buqun, who is both good and evil, doesn't look like a good person. He is a bit of a hypocrite. Director Yu only mentioned it a little bit in the movie and didn't explain much about it. But I feel very passionate about this character. I am very interested in the image. Director Yu, how did you design such a character in the first place?"

"Yes, there is also Lin Pingzhi at the beginning. There is not much explanation of his ending in the end, but I feel that this character has signs of darkening. Is it Director Yu?"

"Director Yu, are you planning to make a sequel?"

Yu Dongqing took a sip of wine and felt helpless after hearing this.

Mr. Jin wrote more than 1 million words for "Swordsman". He just selected a few of the highlights and made magical changes.

Naturally, the ins and outs of the story cannot be explained so clearly in the short span of two novels in the movie.

Why.

Who told us that there is no "Swordsman" in this time and space?

In fact, there are many similar comments from netizens on the Internet, and some even went to his Weibo to ask.

But Yu Dongqing was too lazy to reply.

It's not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Today, in a tavern in a foreign country, listening to the sound of rain outside, drinking warm wine, and sitting with a group of people who like martial arts, Yu Dongqing suddenly became interested.

"Everyone, what you are talking about is not very clear to me in the movie. After all, the movie has a time limit. Since everyone is interested, I will tell you my ideas and the things that were not clearly stated in the movie."

"This Yue Buqun, Linghu Chong's master, the head of the Huashan Sect's Qi Sect force, is known as the "gentleman's sword" in the world, but he is actually a hypocrite. At the beginning of the movie, it is described that Linghu Chong, his junior sister, and a group of Huashan Sect disciples rushed to the Lin family with the purpose of What is it? In fact, Yue Buqun fished in troubled waters and went to the Lin family to ward off evil swordsmanship!"

"Oh, I really guessed it right!" someone at the table shouted, and quickly asked: "Then has he obtained the evil-repelling sword technique?"

"Finally got it! Hehe, do you know how to practice this evil-repelling sword technique? If you want to practice this technique, swing your sword from the palace!"

"Being a eunuch? Yue Buqun actually became a eunuch?!"

"Yes, and Lin Pingzhi also joined the Huashan sect. At first, he thought that Yue Buqun would be generous and take him in, but he didn't expect that the other party's goal was their neighbor's evil-fighting swordsmanship! But Lin Pingzhi is not a vegetarian either. Just follow the plan."

Yu Dongqing is like a storyteller, holding a wine glass and telling stories to everyone, looking thrilling and turbulent.

Wu Jingqi listened with great interest.

I didn't expect that there would be such a complicated and complicated story behind the movie "The Swordsman". Is the junior sister Yue Lingshan actually dead? He actually died for Lin Pingzhi's love?

Lin Pingzhi actually swung his sword from the palace to practice swordsmanship?

What surprised her even more was:

Dongfang Bubai turned out to be a man!

It turned out to be because of the Sunflower Collection!

Oh my God

If he had filmed it as he originally envisioned, he would probably have been scolded by the audience.

No wonder this man was named!

And Meimei can’t act, right?

Yu Dongqing drank warm wine and told stories for more than forty minutes.

"That's all I thought about. What I said was a bit confusing and confusing. I'm sorry." Yu Dongqing finally smiled.

Not finished yet, there is another story behind.

It is indeed a bit confusing, and the storyline is sometimes contradictory.

However, who dares to deny that this is a martial arts novel?

Everyone thought the story of the movie "The Swordsman" was wonderful, but compared with the story told by Yu Dongqing, it pales into insignificance.

"Mr. Yu," one of them asked in a tentative tone: "Your story is quite wonderful. Don't you plan to write it into a novel and publish it?"

"I have no such plan." Yu Dongqing shook his head: "To tell you the truth, I am lazy and afraid of trouble. I can't stand it if you make me sit in front of the computer every day to write ideas." Yu Dongqing laughed.

Everyone felt regretful, saying that not writing such a good story would be a great loss, but they breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably in their hearts.

I have written songs and made movies. Now if I want to write a novel again.

How about giving others a way to survive?
