Perfect Life
Vol 4 Chapter 12: road
Beauties in the light.
This place in the entertainment industry has always been crowded with beauties. The stars who were just popular last year have not been out of breath. Another wave of newcomers has grown up quickly, more tender and more beautiful, but even in such a circle where beauties are everywhere, it is so beautiful. It is rare to see such a woman with such a taste.
Lu Lingxi was wearing a pair of trousers that looked very ordinary, and a pair of high heels with not too high heels. She worked for an hour or two at night and was sweating from exhaustion. At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa opposite Li Qian. Holding a cup of hot water inside, Erlang's legs were comfortably raised. The black trousers of ordinary fabric were slightly taut. From Li Qian's point of view, the joint of the legs and crotch stretched out a perfect and exaggerated arc.
Beautiful, but not shabby fleshy.
She sighed and said, "But then again, you think I don't want to make money! ... Maybe in the eyes of the big bosses who have already succeeded, making money is really a simple thing, just move It's as simple as drinking water, but for those of us...difficult!"
Li Qian laughed.
There is no need to be humble about this. Whether he is making music or doing TV dramas, although he is not rushing to make money, it is undeniable that everything he does will eventually be exchanged for huge economic benefits. This point, in the eyes of Lu Lingxi and the others, really has nothing to say, and it seems a bit fake if they have to be humble.
But Li Qian still said: "Mr. Lu, I have to interrupt you, I don't make money as easy as drinking water."
This time it was Lu Lingxi's turn to laugh.
After a while, she put down Erlang's legs, put the water glass on the sofa, got up and opened a filing cabinet in the corner of the living room, took out a folder, walked back, handed it to Li Qian, and said, "After reading your "New White" The book of "The Legend of the Lady", I know you are a master in this field, you can not only shoot unconventionally, but also guarantee the sale... Come, help the teacher to see."
Li Qian took the book and opened it. On the first page was the name: "The Last Letter".
Without opening it, Li Qian first looked up at Lu Lingxi and asked, "Your work?"
Lu Lingxi smiled and lifted Erlang's legs again.
Li Qian subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the stretched arc.
She seemed a little hesitant, but she finally chose to speak, and said, "A few years ago, I also wrote some books, posted them everywhere, contacted film and television companies, and even entrusted the favor of many brothers and sisters and old professors, I hope I can get some investment, and I also show my own college graduation work and graduate work—both of which are short films—to show people everywhere. People advised me to switch to acting..."
Speaking of which, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "Hehe, after thinking about it, forget it, maybe I really don't have the talent to be a director, and the script may have been written well... I don't think it should be downright bad, but definitely I'm a bit selfish. So, I'll teach in a down-to-earth way, and let the poor be happy! Until recently, Lu Ping came to me, hoping that I could help him write a notebook, and we discussed it together. He encouraged me in turn and asked me to give him what I thought was the best book. He patted his chest and said that he could help me get investment... You know, I'm also a filmmaker. If I have such an opportunity, I will endure it. I can't stop getting a little excited."
Li Qian immediately understood, put down the script, and said with a smile, "Then don't have to read it. Since Senior Brother Lu has patted his chest, it must be no problem! Prove that he believes in your ability!"
Lu Lingxi looked up at Li Qian with a half smile, "Are you really not understanding, or are you pretending to be confused?"
If it was another student, Lu Lingxi probably wouldn't talk to him like this, but facing Li Qian, she could speak a little more clearly - Lu Lingxi not only took Li Qian's class for a year, but also I took Li Qian and his class out to collect the wind several times, and they dealt with them in depth. Naturally, they did not treat Li Qian as a hairy young man in his early twenties.
Li Qian pouted, "I really don't understand."
Lu Lingxi was too lazy to fight him about this lawsuit, and said directly: "Just tell me, show it or not."
Can you show it?
Just now Lu Lingxi asked him to stay for a while, Li Qian knew that she must have something to look for, but she didn't expect that she would ask herself to help with the script - the script is not too long, and the story is not big, not to mention that Lu Lingxi is in many places. I like to write with some very simple strokes.
Li Qian understands this. He has seen more than one such script in his past and present life.
Especially for scripts written by people who are directors, many people like this kind of "hazy treatment".
To put it bluntly, when the director is in the script stage, there are many things that he thinks can only be understood but cannot be described in words, and must be pulled in front of the camera. He goes to tell the cameraman, I want this, tell the actors, I want you like that. , just do it.
What's more, there are some big guys who don't even have a script at all. As soon as the shooting starts, the actors don't know what they are going to play, and the photographer doesn't know what they are going to shoot. When the shooting starts, the director gives a small note with **** wide. , you, run from here, run there, run like you are, and it's ok, then, shoot over and over again, the actor runs over and over again, until a certain time, he thinks that you have run out of a certain state, ok, That's ok - until the filming is over, the actors don't know what character they are playing or what the scene is for!
Lu Lingxi is slightly better, and the general story is still there.
This script, called "The Last Letter", is about a woman who is about to die, and her husband is already dead. At this time, the funeral is in progress. The woman listens to the wailing of her children and grandchildren outside. She got up and wrote a letter to someone she had a crush on all her life. In the letter, she recalled her whole life, recalled her four "false" and "real" loves in the past few decades, and expressed her love for that man again and again with an extremely warm tone .
A typical literary film.
Li Qian couldn't help but wonder if this was adapted from Zweig's "Letter from a Strange Woman", but he wasn't sure if there was a person like Zweig in this time and space, so Pressed, did not dare to ask.
Then, looking at it, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.
This way, if you change to a great-level literary director to shoot, it may be very charming, but even if it is the level of Zhang Guoshi or Jiang Mazi in another time and space, this film will probably not be sold. What a decent box office.
It is a very small story in itself, coupled with the use of terrible flashbacks, and the director's pursuit of a certain depth of life that must use all his strength, it almost means that it will not be a story. A movie that is loved by most people.
To put it bluntly, if this kind of film is made according to the book of Lu Lingxi, I am afraid that even many pseudo-literary youths may not like it!
Li Qian believes that he is not a fan of commercial films who only know how to make money. He also has many literary films that he particularly likes and wants to present in this world, but even he is very clear about this kind of film. Literary and artistic films that have entered a dead end are still admired and kept away.
…………
Lu Lingxi's house is on the third floor, and in the early autumn night, with the windows open, it can even be a little cool.
The autumn insects chirped, and the pages turned.
Lu Lingxi held a teacup and looked at Li Qian, who was watching the script intently.
The feelings between people are very complex and subtle.
It's like between her and Li Qian. When they were in their sophomore year, they just took the class of Li Qian's class. At that time, Liao Liao and Zhou Ai hadn't started to fight, and everyone still didn't know Li Qian's true identity. Yes, of course Lu Lingxi doesn't know either. But after everyone had dealt with him two or three times, Lu Lingxi naturally didn't treat Li Qian as a student, but treated him as a peer who had something to share with him on an equal footing, and even some things that he could trust to his peers with confidence— It is difficult to say that there will be friendship between students and teachers, especially during the school period, the unequal identities, coupled with the domestic emphasis on "respecting teachers and respecting Taoism", make the identities of the two sides in the dialogue have a certain degree. There's a gap... But unfortunately, Lu Lingxi has not been teaching their class for a long time, and he is definitely still a teacher and student with other students, but with Li Qian, he is like an old friend.
Since then, Lu Lingxi has vaguely felt that this guy might be able to make something in the future.
As a result, before waiting for the future, Li Qian's true identity was exposed, which made Lu Lingxi have to sigh: No wonder!
There is such a student, no matter who the teacher is, of course, it is easy to be proud and proud, and Lu Lingxi is naturally not exempt, so over time, this feeling of being a teacher and a friend , so that the two sides get along more and more naturally.
It was just before that, even though the two had already had a good relationship, and Lu Lingxi had a better look at Li Qian's future, but she still didn't expect that it was only her junior year, and Li Qian had already forced her to do it again. Impressed.
His "Legend of the New White Lady" was so well done that Lu Lingxi felt speechless.
And it's not just her, many teachers and colleagues in the film academy talked about this TV series, and they had to admit that in terms of TV series, this is an amazing masterpiece! So naturally, the teachers who have taken Li Qian’s course and Yourongyan have served in Li Qian’s course and have a good relationship with him. Lu Lingxi, who is now Li Qian’s department head, has been taken by colleagues more than once. Come to joke - "Mr. Lu, no wonder you had to take the postgraduate entrance examination of the photography department, and you also went to teach the photography department after graduation. The emotional foreshadowing is here!"
Speaking of which, it was nothing but a smile.
Of course, she couldn't have known a few years ago that the Department of Photography would have such a monstrous student, and naturally she couldn't have planned for this matter a few years ago—in the end, everyone was a little envious.
Like now, as a teacher, you can hand over the book to him and let him help the staff member--the staff member is basically waiting for his opinion to fall under the hammer!
There is no other reason, but the comprehensive quality shown by this disciple in "The Legend of the New White Snake" is an amazing shot! Therefore, even if he is as proud as a deer, he thinks that he is qualified to judge the pros and cons of his own script, and even attaches great importance to his evaluation.
…………
The script is not long, about 20,000 words, but Li Qian read it very carefully.
It took more than half an hour for Li Qian to finish reading it. After thinking about it, he turned back and carefully pondered several places. Then he raised his head, looked at Lu Lingxi, pondered the wording, and asked with a smile: " Do you want to hear the truth or lie?"
Lu Lingxi heard the words and breathed for a while.
However, she concealed it very well, and after her eyes were a little dull, she quickly smiled again.
"As soon as I hear you ask that, I know it's over. Then just tell the truth!" she laughed.
Li Qian also smiled and said, "This book is a good book. If Qin Wei is willing to make it, I believe it must be very beautiful."
Lu Lingxi nodded, and after waiting for a long time to see Li Qian stopped talking, he couldn't help but say, "Don't say half of the words, and then what?"
Li Qian thought for a while, and then said, "If Senior Brother Lu Ping comes to shoot...it's a test. Although he has a certain reputation and appeal, I still don't think he can make money."
Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The words are over here.
Qin Wei ranks first among the three major domestic film stars. He is a great director who enjoys a certain reputation all over the world, and he can also be regarded as the current flag-carrying figure in domestic films. Therefore, if he falls in love with this book and shoots it, So just with the signboard of "Director Qin Wei", no matter how obscure the film is, there is no danger of losing money - his appeal is there! Just hanging up the name Qin Wei can support a box office of more than 50 million.
So, this is just being nice, but it doesn't make any sense at all.
On the contrary, the latter one is what Li Qian really meant.
Lu Ping has not been out for a long time, but to his level in literary and artistic films, he is already a big man among the directors of the post-70s generation. With time, he may become the future Qin Wei. The driving ability he has accumulated after a few plays can't work, and he has to lose money in every shot, not to mention others?
What about yourself?
Li Qian said this, which means that in his opinion, this script has little commercial value.
…………
The atmosphere is a little cold.
Looking at Lu Lingxi's face, Li Qian seemed a little disappointed, but at the same time seemed relieved, he couldn't help laughing: "But it doesn't matter, since Senior Brother Lu patted his chest and said he could get you an investment, then we can talk about it! Besides, I'm a family, so don't believe me, since Senior Brother Lu is asking for the book, you should still give it to him and let him judge, which is more appropriate. Maybe he thinks this is a book that can earn money Money movies!"
Lu Lingxi looked up at him, smiled, put away the book, and sighed: "Forget it! Don't show it to him!"
Li Qian was a little puzzled and asked, "Why? You really think I'm Qin Wei. If I say no, you also think I can't?"
Lu Lingxi smiled and said, "You are definitely not Mr. Qin Wei, but I can still trust your grasp of business. Since you have said it all, you will lose money when you shoot it, so how can I show it to others? Someone pulls me an investment?"
Of course it wasn't like that.
The value of a movie, or in other words, when a film and television company is considering whether to make a movie, it will definitely give priority to the issue of box office security, but the box office does not represent the full value of a movie.
For example, some companies do a lot of commercial blockbusters, and the success rate is also very high, so sometimes, even if they know they will lose a little money, they are still willing to invest in some niche literary films with limited cost.
Once the film library is enriched, the advantage of literary films is that the sales of videotapes and DVDs are often good. With the copyright in hand, you can consider the problem of selling long-term and slowly returning to the original. As time goes on, after a few years, You can still make money back or even make a small profit.
Second, you can also take this opportunity to discover and win over some up-and-coming directors, and the films you invest in may lose money. Affordable, on the other hand, a few films cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and even if you can find a good director who can be trusted in the future, you have already made a full return!
For example, Li Qianming knew that he would lose money, but he still invested in Jin Han's "On the Road", even though he had both of the above considerations.
Looking at the movie "On the Road" alone, it may have to lose money, but if he can maintain cooperation with Jin Han for five years, or even more than ten years, then Li Qian can be sure, absolutely. will earn!
Although Lu Lingxi has always been on the campus of Shuntian Film Academy, according to her own words, she also went out to try to make a fortune after all, so Li Qian doesn't know if she understands these considerations of film and television companies, but think about it again, Even if she didn't know it at first, since Senior Brother Lu Ping had persuaded her, he should have mentioned it before, so he took it back when the words came to his lips.
After thinking about it, he just smiled and said, "Then am I the villain between you and Senior Brother Lu Ping?"
Lu Lingxi smiled, blinked her eyes slightly narrowly, and replied with a smile: "As far as Lu Ping is concerned, maybe so, but for me, it helped me a little." After a pause, she smiled. Even more brilliant, "I don't dare to owe you men's favor!"
Li Qian was stunned when he heard this. Some words were originally intended to be said, but as soon as Lu Lingxi said these words, he immediately called back what he wanted to say-in fact, if it came from the movie itself, if Lu Lingxi could accept it If I let myself change the script a little, Li Qian really wants to tell her that I can invest in this drama.
Whether it was a coincidence or Lu Lingxi vaguely guessed Li Qian's thoughts, in a word, she blocked the road with a single word.
Moreover, she blocked her own way.
Li Qian raised his brows, smacking it repeatedly, and suddenly felt that he didn't know how to evaluate Lu Lingxi.
…………
After sitting for a while, it was dark outside, so Li Qian got up and left, but before he left, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the direction of the bedroom, stopped, and said to Lu Lingxi, "Senior Sister Qin Jingjing, I'm not too familiar with it, so I can't say anything... If she really encounters something that can't be overcome, such as needing money or something, you can give her an idea, let her come to me to borrow it, or I can lend it to her. You, you will lend it to her."
Hearing this, Lu Lingxi raised his head slightly and looked at him for a moment. Seeing his serious face, there seemed to be some vague worry between his brows, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, "You are really careful, no wonder you can make the two queens fall into their arms. Hug! It’s considerate enough! Okay, I know, if it really gets to that point, I’ll ask her to find you, the rich man!”
Li Qian smiled, turned his head to leave, but turned back, with a slightly hilarious smile, "Actually, I think Senior Brother Lu is pretty good! Although I'm not as handsome and I can't make money, but..."
"Go away! There's no formality!"
Lu Lingxi punched him, "Hurry up and leave!"
…………
After Li Qian left, Lu Lingxi took a hot bath and came out wearing a bathrobe. While wiping her hair, she couldn't help but remember what Li Qian said just now, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the small cabinet where she put the script.
Lu Ping's words were still in his ears.
"Senior sister, don't worry, I'm very confident in your book, it's definitely not bad! What's wrong with literary films, literary films can also make money, at least they can't be compensated! You are like this, you think that you have written the best these years. , Bring the book you want to shoot the most~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Let's discuss it! I will help you find the investment, and I will help supervise the production of your film! You should believe me?"
When he said this, there was light in his eyes.
A very strange light.
Lu Lingxi couldn't help but sighed.
Just at this moment, there was a sound in the guest bedroom, Lu Lingxi wrapped a towel around her hair and opened the bedroom door to go in.
Turn on the light with a snap.
The quilt had already been lifted halfway, Qin Jingjing's face was burning red, she was muttering something, her speech was slurred.
Lu Lingxi sighed, returned to the living room and poured a glass of water over, feeling that the temperature was not too hot, came over and pushed her, and asked, "Jingjing, Jingjing, do you want some water?"
After three or two efforts, Qin Jingjing suddenly opened her eyes.
Like lost or drunk, half-dreaming half-awake.
But fortunately, she has begun to recognize people, "Mr. Lu...I..."
Lu Lingxi smiled, helped her up, fed her a glass of water, and when she saw a glass of water in her stomach, she seemed to feel better again, so she smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright, you are in my house now, very happy. Be safe and sleep at ease!"
Qin Jingjing looked up at her, and after a while, she suddenly burst into tears.
"Teacher Lu, I have nothing now!"
Lu Lingxi hugged her and said with a smile: "Nonsense! Who said you have nothing? You still have the popularity you have accumulated over the years, you still have acting skills, and you still have so many teachers, classmates and friends, how come you have nothing left? ?"
While speaking, Lu Lingxi had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If he believed those people back then, maybe he would have been tricked by others like Qin Jingjing?
Who knows!
