Perfect Life

Three days later, Lu Lingxi knocked on the door of Li Qian's office.

It is still a standard suit and trousers work attire. Although it is dignified and elegant, it cannot stop the natural amorous feelings in the eyebrows. People often say that beauties are affectionate. In fact, many beauties are not affectionate, they are just too good-looking. I'd like to have a little love with her, and I'm proud of it.

Standing in front of Li Qian's desk, she said earnestly, "I've thought about it, I'm willing to play Thirteenth Aunt."

After a pause, she said again: "As you said, people don't have to be hypocritical, how to go along the way."

Li Qian nodded and said, "Okay!"

After she left, Li Qian put down the pen in his hand, leaned on the boss chair for a long time, and thought about it for a long time. After thinking about it, he pulled over a blue telephone on the desk and broadcast a number.

When the call was connected, he said fluently in English: "Hi, I'm Li Qian. Beauty, is the schedule tight?"

On the other end of the phone, a nice female voice said, "Oh, my God, Qian, you... shouldn't you first ask me if I'm in a good mood recently?"

Li Qian smiled, "If you're in a bad mood, you can come to China to relax. If you're in a good mood, how about taking time to come to China to play a cameo role for me?"

The opposite side was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he laughed, "Qian, is this the wisdom of your Chinese?"

After thinking for a while, she said: "OK, there will be a film appointment next, a bitter British court drama. It is expected to end in June. In what month will your drama start? Do I have a lot of roles?"

Li Qian immediately said: "Several scenes will be completed within a week. You can come over after the play is over. We will start shooting at the end of June."

The opposite side immediately said cheerfully: "OK, no problem!"

Li Qian said "thank you" and said again: "Then I wish you a smooth shooting, I'll be waiting for you in China!"

Hearing that Li Qian was about to hang up the phone, he immediately said, "Hey, hey, don't rush to hang up, may I know what the story is? What kind of actor will I play with? Qian, you are an actor, Or be a director?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "Director! I'm the director, but don't worry, the one who plays against you... um, is an oriental beauty with peerless elegance! And what we want to shoot is a story about a hero."

"Oh, nice!"

Li Qian hung up the phone with a smile, thought about it, and dialed another number.

After the album was recorded, Liao Liao has already left for the United States - she has not released a new album or new work for nearly two years, no matter how popular it was at the beginning, she must still need to warm up before releasing this album. , at least have to go ahead to hold a few fan meetings, participate in a few variety shows and so on.

Los Angeles time, it was already after dinner, it was a little lively over there, and when Liao Liao answered the phone, Li Qian realized that Liao Liao was gathering a small circle of parties in his villa.

So, after chatting briefly for a few minutes, I asked her about her situation after she arrived in the United States, told her to pay attention to her body, and promised that she would stay for a few days in May, and then hung up the phone.

Just at this moment, Lu Min pushed open the door and came in and said, "Mr. Li, called from the ninth floor. It is said that the second round of auditions for "Full House" is about to start. President Jin is asking if you want to come over. have a look."

Li Qian thought for a while, nodded, and stood up.

But before he walked out of the room, he stopped again, sighed, and said to Lu Min, "Forget it, you call me back and say I won't go up, everything is subject to President Jin's opinion."

Seeing that Li Qian's face was not normal, Lu Min didn't dare to ask why, but just agreed and left the room.

When Lu Min left, he paced back and forth in the room.

In fact, there is nothing bad about his mood, and even because the entire company is on the right track in all aspects, he has recently felt relieved on his shoulders. Like the current audition, he can go and have a look, but he can not go at all. Anyway, he has defined the hero and heroine. He believes that Jin Han knows the other roles, and his vision is there, and he won't. Pick away.

But these days, he just feels an inexplicable irritability from time to time.

So, he knew that there must be some things, some places, there are some problems that he has been able to perceive or perceive, but he has not paid attention to it before.

Emotional?

Well, maybe there will be, but... it seems that few women shouldn't give him such a sense of anxiety.

The child here has been born for more than half a month, and the other side has been pregnant for four months. These things must be taken care of before the filming of "Once Upon a Time".

Men are lecherous, yes, but at least they have to be magnanimous and aboveboard.

They fell in love with you at first, maybe not because of your wealth and status, and so on, but since the two came together, she became your woman, and even conceived of your two children, that one man, You must take over this responsibility-you must give your woman and so many people out there who care about her a reliable, trustworthy and understandable account.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhou Ai to live in that small villa all the time. She wants to go back to Sheeppen Hutong, and she must have thought about it for a long time, although she didn't say anything.

That's why He Runqing couldn't just stay in seclusion forever...

And then there's... well, no problem, none of this is a problem, at least not the reason why I've been feeling restless these past few days.

Although the meal last night was really embarrassing.

Back at the desk, he wrote down many names one by one, and then crossed them out one by one, he knew that they and them were not a problem.

In the end, his eyes fell on those two names.

Wong Fei Hung, red sorghum.

The gel pen tapped on and off the table, and my mind was spinning rapidly.

The sorghum in the hometown is definitely fine. When the villagers heard that the star of the old Li family was coming back to film, and as long as the planting did not need to be harvested, they would pay double the normal harvest, and there were grandfather and uncle watching at home. This kind of thing will never go wrong.

As far as the actors of the two dramas are concerned, Aunt Thirteen has already been decided. Qin Jingjing's "my grandmother" should be considered reliable. If she can't help her, it's not a problem to find someone temporarily. Bai Yu Jing Cheng Su Ping Ming Xiaojing, it shouldn't be a big problem, although the male lead of the two plays has not yet been decided, especially... I haven't decided whether I want to play it or not, but that, it's not a big problem.

No matter if you play it yourself or find someone else to play it, there are still two months before the shooting of "Once Upon a Time", and it is still half a year before the shooting of "Red Sorghum", so it is definitely too late!

As for the supporting roles...well, why don't you take advantage of the fact that "Full House" is also casting roles, let's get the auditions for these two movies first? Could there be a problem in this regard?

But think again, no.

Also, this is not in line with the established work and schedule.

And then... Well, the location for "Red Sorghum" is very simple, don't worry, "Once Upon a Time" is planned to be shot in four or five places, especially for scenes such as a large bamboo tent by the seaside, but those things , has already been handed over to Zhao He, and he went out this time for these things.

So...it shouldn't be.

Li Qian's brows furrowed deeply.

The more so, the more he felt that perhaps the loophole that made him a little anxious would be even more remarkable.

Pick up the phone and start calling one by one.

There is no problem with Zhao He, there is no problem with the hometown, call Huang Wenjuan, the few martial artists who are currently in contact are all right, and they will come over on the agreed date. Let’s discuss Li Qian’s request first in “Once Upon a Time” The fighting scenes reflected in the game, and then, a few martial artists, or choose their best, or combine a few people, anyway, Li Qian is only the best thing, and he doesn't feel bad about the budget.

Then, regarding Zhu Yu's question, she said that she even went back to her alma mater on purpose, consulted a few old professors, and discussed it several times very enthusiastically. Now the big idea of ​​clothing and art has been settled, and it will be available in a few days. Provide samples for Li Qian to praise and choose.

After one phone call, everything was fine, everything was fine.

Li Qian sighed, opened the drawer, and took out the script.

After thinking about it, he picked up the script, grabbed his jacket, and wanted to go out, but after thinking about it again, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, I remember that there is no show today, right?"

"Huh? No! What's going on?"

"Let's find a place to sit. I'm a little messed up in my heart, so I just want to find a place to sit and have a cup of coffee or something. By the way, you can help me read the book of my next play."

A soft smile came from the opposite side, "My heart is messed up, I will calm down when I go back to see the big fat son."

Li Qian also smiled. After a while, he asked, "Why, are you... inconvenient?"

"Well, it's not inconvenient, that is, I made an appointment to meet someone at night."

Li Qian was stunned when he heard the words, and said, "Male or female?"

The opposite side burst out laughing, "Of course it's a man! Your sister, I'm a lot older, and everyone has introduced me to someone for a blind date. I have to meet you, why don't you give me more face? Who will pay me back in the future? I introduce?"

Li Qian's heart skipped a beat.

"Oh...then...well, then..."

"Oops, okay, I'm kidding with you, where are you going? Or are you coming to pick me up?"

Li Qian grinned silently, "Then you wait for me, I'll pick you up!"

…………

After an hour and a half.

a coffee shop.

After a cup of strong coffee, Cheng Supin finally finished the script when they both started to growl with hunger at noon.

Raising her head, she said, "Eat first?"

Li Qian nodded, "Eat first."

So, after ordering, eating, and eating, the waiter packed up and they asked for another pot of tea.

At noon, the sun is shining brightly.

After drinking a cup of tea, Cheng Supin opened the script again and read it from the beginning.

Li Qian stared at her for a moment, then opened the script, forcing himself to calm down and read from the beginning.

Up to now, this script has been revised three times.

At the beginning, Li Qian was afraid that the longer he came to this time and space, the more he would forget the memory of another time and space. Therefore, despite the rough details, he basically recorded the entire script according to the original plot. . But the year before last, he decided to start taking steps towards film and television, so he reread the script, and felt a little inappropriate for the original plot of the play.

This time and that time.

This world is also, this world is also.

The background of the original story is the last year of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, this time and space can only be the last year of the Shun Dynasty. It’s okay to say that the big braids are gone. The problem is that Liu Yongfu is definitely gone, and the militia group in the original plot, Li Qian also feels quite inappropriate. .

And most importantly, the aesthetics and tastes of Hong Kong audiences in the 1980s are very different from the aesthetic tastes of domestic audiences around 2001.

The original plot has three main lines.

At that time, it was a time of great changes unseen in China for 3,000 years. Among all kinds of conflicts and conflicts, the most important thing was Chinese and foreign invasions, foreign invasions, foreign warships and foreigners on the ground in China. Arrogant, looking down on the cheapness of the Chinese people, Huang Feihong was extremely dissatisfied, and he fought hard. It must be the biggest main line in the original version.

Because of the militia group left by Liu Yongfu, the local yamen of the Qing government, that is, the Admiral, was very jealous of Huang Feihong, and he wanted to get rid of the militia group. This is the second clue.

The local bully gang, the Shahe Gang, first brought disaster to the village, then colluded with foreigners, and had many disputes with Huang Feihong and the militia group. In the end, the Shahe Gang completely surrendered to the foreigners and planned to sell Chinese women to the United States as prostitutes. , this third line is completely merged into the first main line.

These three lines were finally linked together by the three characters of Huang Feihong, Thirteenth Aunt and Liang Kuan. The clues of the whole film are clear and the structure is basically rigorous. Although there are some small flaws in the background and setting, the flaws do not hide the flaws.

Coupled with the wonderful fighting scenes, Jet Li's grand mastery in the play, as well as the funny jokes that were very in line with the aesthetic taste of the Hong Kong people in the 1980s, this play was naturally very popular at the time, and later spread with pirated video discs. Going to the inland, he also won the love and respect of Li Qian and his generation.

But many of the plots in the original version are actually inappropriate.

For example, the simplest point is that in the original plot, there are a lot of funny memes caused by Huang Feihong's inability to understand English. In Hong Kong in the 1980s, everyone would find it funny. In another time and space in the mainland before 2000, watching pirated versions The audience of the disc will also find it amusing, but in 2001 in this time and space, it is absolutely not acceptable - if it is not good, it will be disgusting.

Because in this time and space in 2001, firstly, the national economy was more developed than in another time and space, and the common people did not think English was too high-end. Many movie audiences are highly educated. Whether it is the composition of knowledge level or national self-esteem, it is very likely that they will not be able to accept such jokes.

Therefore, from the social background, to several main lines, to many detailed paragraphs, Li Qian has made great sorting, adjustments and changes in the second draft of the entire play.

Basically, about half of everything in this drama is new.

Last winter, he started to revise it again, which formed the current final draft, and the final draft in the hands of Li Qian and Cheng Suping has changed the original version by more than 60%— - This is not just a matter of makeovers, it can definitely be regarded as broken!

Because of this, when Li Qian repeatedly considered whether he was doing or was going to do anything wrong, he eliminated other problems one by one. In the end, he felt that this has now been related to the original story in his mind. The very different script is likely to be the root cause of my anxiety.

To be honest, even though up to now, no matter what you do, you have been successful, and the outside world is full of praise. One by one, the girls rushed over like moths to the fire, ignoring that Li Qian already had a group of wives and concubines. However, Li Qian himself never felt that he was such a talented person.

When he has the original version in his mind for reference, he naturally has nothing to worry about, but now, after losing the blessing of the original aura to some extent, he starts to worry about gains and losses unknowingly—although, with With the filming of the two plays, in fact, his confidence in himself is getting stronger and stronger.

…………

Cheng Suping finally put down the script for the second time and took a sip of cold tea. She said, "I don't think it's a problem. It's a good story and a great script! The biggest problem with it is..."

Seeing Li Qian looking forward to it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She smiled and pouted, "The heroine didn't look for me!"

Li Qian laughed.

Cheng Suping also laughed and asked, "Is this book tailored for you?"

Li Qian was surprised at first, and then asked with a smile, "Why do you say that? Because I have also practiced a few kung fu?"

Cheng Suping smiled and said nothing.

Li Qian continued to ask: "Do you have any suggestions or opinions on this book?"

Cheng Suping shook his head, "At least as far as my level is concerned, no problem, very good! I don't see any obvious shortcomings or shortcomings." After a pause, she said, "It's... I'm in the script for you. The descriptions of several fights written in the book, I don't know how you want to shoot, like that... You said 'the male protagonist is holding an umbrella, and he has to fight elegantly and gracefully, according to local conditions', I don't quite understand, I guess you have to find A good martial arts instructor will help you design the moves. The rest… nothing else.”

Li Qian nodded, feeling a little more at ease.

He thought to himself: Yes, the martial arts is a big problem, this question must be combined with a few martial arts, and the preparations must be done in advance!

Feeling safe in his heart, he looked up at Cheng Suping and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't have you in this play, I'll definitely find you when I look back. If there's a good show, I'll keep it for you!"

Cheng Suping smiled, noncommittal.

After a while, she asked with a smile, "You know why I said this drama was made for you?"

Li Qian looked at her in surprise, "Why?"

Cheng Suping laughed, first pursed her lips, and smiled mysteriously. Seeing Li Qian's curious face, she said, "Because that's how you can't chase girls!"

I always write such a big chapter, and many readers complain that my book is more expensive than other books, alas! The question is, do you think such a big chapter is enjoyable to watch?
