The kettle rang out like a whistle of a train. Yin Ruijuan was wearing a uniform and hugging a lullaby, while Cui Mingliang was already asleep on the sofa next to her. A very nice flute performance sounded at the right time. The screen darkened and it was pitch black, followed by a series of subtitles.

The headlights were turned on, and the few people sitting in the small theater of Beijing Film Studio were not very adapted to the light, and their eyes were slightly closed for a while.

Tianzhuang opened his eyes and said to Li Shaohong beside him: "How is it?"

The movie is a bit long, but Li Shaohong's face couldn't hide his shock. This was the first time she watched "Standup" and it was a copy of the teaching film that Lao Tian borrowed from the Film Academy.

"I really didn't expect that young people can make such a good movie now. If I weren't going to be able to make it." Li Shaohong smiled bitterly, shook her head, she pushed her glasses and said, "And Wang Dalun, I didn't expect that he has made such great progress now, Cui Mingliang is one level higher than Xiao Wu. He has no problem playing Dai Liyan. He can handle this role completely. I am worried about who will play Yuwen and who will play Zhang Zhichen. If he doesn't have enough skills, it will be difficult to play with him."

Compared to Li Shaohong's extremely high evaluation of Wang Dalun, a middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him seemed a little hesitant: "Dai Liyan came from a scholarly family and was seriously ill. Is this actor really suitable?"

This middle-aged man wearing glasses is Acheng. He is a writer and close friend of Tianzhuangzhuang. Since Tianzhuangzhuang plans to remake "Spring of Small Town" after his comeback next year, the first person he thinks of is Acheng, who specially invited him back from the United States and re-written "Spring of Small Town". Acheng's implication is very clear, that is, Wang Dalun seems to be too rustic and healthy.

Tianzhuangzhuang immediately shook his head and said, "Although Dai Liyan is a patient, he was in good health before. He used to be a person who could do upside down on the ring in school. If he had to get someone who was sick to act, I think it would be bad."

Compared to Mr. Fei Mu's movie, Tian Zhuangzhuang prefers Dai Liyan. In the old version of "Spring in the Small Town", Zhang Zhichen is the first male lead, and in the script he is preparing to remake, he gives more strokes to Dai Liyan.

Indifference and objectivity are the style of director Zhuangzhuang. Even if he has been banned for ten years, he has not been changed. In his mind, "Spring in the Small Town" should tell a story, which has nothing to do with the romance and the feelings of family and country. He will not be moved by Zhang Zhichen's passion, nor will he be suppressed and painful by Yuwen. Perhaps only Dai Liyan, who guards the not-so-done mansion, deserves his sympathy. This is the biggest difference between the "Spring in the Small Town" he wants to remake and the old version.

In fact, Tian Zhuangzhuang just finished speaking, Zeng Nianping immediately added with a smile: "He is the rustic role in the movie, he is not rustic at all. Last year, he played Wang Geng in "April Day in the World"."

After both sides said this, Acheng immediately stopped saying a word. Tianzhuangzhuang needed a healthy-looking Dai Liyan; as for Wang Geng, he was a famous Confucian general in the history of the Republic of China. How could he be rustic if he could play such a person?

"What about the other two actors?" Li Shaohong asked with some concern.

She absolutely recognized Wang Dalun. When Zeng Nianping mentioned "April" just now, she regretted it. Although "April" was widely praised by the audience, some industry insiders also suggested that although Huang Lei looked a bit similar to Xu Zhimo, he did not have the agility of a poet in his eyes, and some people were not polite, who made an evaluation of "like shape but not similar spirit". In fact, she also noticed this problem during the filming. Now, thinking about why she didn't expect Wang Dalun to play Xu Zhimo at the beginning. Of course, this is just her inner thoughts and it is impossible to say it out.

"He Zhi recommended an actor for me before, from the National Theater. He has worked with him many times. I have watched his plays and his acting skills are good. It should be no problem to play Zhang Zhichen. As for the role of Yuwen, in my heart, I should be like Ruan Lingyu played by Zhang Manyu. Of course, we can't afford to invite big stars like Zhang Manyu, haha. You should help recommend a few, and then we will try the show together." Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled.

Tianzhuang laughed at himself, but Li Shaohong secretly curled his lips. The news that Tianzhuang is about to come back next year is about to turn a classic. Although the most famous director in China is the two masters Zhang and Chen, even Feng Xiaogang, who has become a monk and filmed comedy, is even compared with Zhang and Chen. However, most people in the circle, even international film critics, such as Marco Muller, chairman of the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, and famous Japanese film critic Tadao Sato praised him as "the most talented and outstanding film director in contemporary China."

You said he wanted to make a movie and invite Zhang Manyu to play the heroine. How could Zhang Manyu not come? What's more, once the news came out, many film companies were willing to invest, such as the boss of Hong Kong Anle Film Company, Mr. Jiang Ziqiang, who has always loved art films, and even investments from France, the Netherlands and other foreign countries. Inviting big-name stars is not a question of how to afford it, but a question of whether you, Director Tian, ​​use it.

Li Shaohong and he are both classmates in the director's department of the Film Academy and colleagues at the Beijing Film Studio for so many years. They ask themselves that they know him very well. He is the kind of director who likes to control everything. Although he has been banned from directors for so many years, he has been a planner and producer at the Beijing Film Studio. He is afraid that big names can't handle it, so he likes to use some young actors.

In fact, when Tianzhuangzhuang found her and decided to remake "Spring in Small Town", the first person she thought of was Wang Ji. She had worked with Wang Ji in "Red Pink". Wang Ji, who wore a cheongsam, had the style of the style of a certain moment in her every move. The weakness of leaving Laopu and falling into a nie was simply impeccable. But now, it's a pity that Wang Ji is obviously too old.

Li Shaohong sighed secretly. When Tianzhuangzhuang, Acheng and others left the small theater, they were still thinking about whether to ask Xiaowan to think of a way to recommend a few actresses to come over, but they just don’t know if they can get to the eyes of director Zhuangzhuang.

…………

The drama "Seafood" in Beijing was filmed for almost a week, and Wang Dalun would watch it every day. He either went to watch and play, but he just wanted to experience what Xiaomei was as a fallen woman. Especially in the play, except for the girls, the other actors were real ladies. Moreover, the enthusiasm they burst out from the novelty of filming was even more real. He just regarded it as experiencing life in advance.

Sasha, who was stuffed money there by a customer in the play, was considered an important supporting role. The girl took her to the hospital to pick up the wallet, and the doctor was her regular customer. The money she picked up after a lot of hardships was a fake currency. Sasha was so angry that she wanted to tear it apart. However, she took her to the underground shopping mall, vegetable market, and supermarket to spend it with all her hardships, but she didn't succeed in the end. Finally, she went to a small restaurant, had enough food and drink, and just walked out, but was chased by the owner.

Of course, there are also operas in the karaoke bar, because the karaoke bar is open at night, so it can only be filmed during the day. Fortunately, the karaoke bar is no different from the day and night. When the music is played, the ladies who have not been on the clock gather in the ladies' room to play cards and chat. The girl received a call from her home and went out to make a call, but was attracted by a hypocritical elderly intellectual.

The elderly intellectuals brought their concubine home, and their home was actually the rental house where Zhu Wen and the concubine lived. Artist Gao Jianxin spent a whole day using fake calligraphy and paintings bought from street stalls and various messy antiques to create a home for single elderly intellectuals.

The actor who plays an elderly intellectual also brought him from the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio. He is a retired professional actor. He is just idle to take on work and earn some extra money. Zhu Wen negotiated with him a 500 yuan salary, but when he was in the process, the old man was shy and was unnatural when he spoke lines. Zhu Wen simply placed the camera behind the old man, and couldn't take a picture of his face, so he just asked him to read the lines. It was still a long shot, and every question and answer was a test of the girl's acting skills.

The concubine is really talented. In the most common saying of the line, it is "the ancestors give food to eat." The concubine comes in and takes off her clothes, takes out a condom from her bag and prepares to do business.

But the old man told her that she couldn't get hard. The concubine naturally suggested that he wouldn't get a plane, right? The old man felt that it was not enough. The concubine glanced at the bottom of the old man sitting on the chair, without being angry or mocking, but said naturally, "Then add another hundred yuan."

Customers are God, they just please and don’t ridicule; they get what they pay for, and clearly price. As for why Zhu Wen sets the old man as the image of an elderly intellectual, what does he want to allusion? What does he want to metaphor?

In fact, in the short 20 minutes of the play in Beijing, there are too many things he shows that he wants to allusions and metaphors, such as the money stuffed to Sasha is a fake currency, and all the people who do small business have an amazing ability to identify counterfeit currency, and they are not surprised at the same time.

For example, the doctor in the small clinic is Xiaomei’s old client, and the doctor is familiar with this kind of work.

Well, that old intellectual who can't get hard and thinks it's boring to masturbate, and insists on serving one hundred dollars, may be the father of the senior intellectual who looks for a lady with his son in "I Love Dollars"; maybe it's the teacher Hu who is with his granddaughter in "Teacher Hu, do you play basketball?"...

To put it in Zhu Wen’s sentence, “Actually, they are not special people, they are us.”

Just after New Year's Day, it snowed again in the capital, which was heavier than the previous few light snows. News came from Beidaihe that the snow was so heavy that the temperature was only minus ten degrees Celsius, and the sea ice had been scattered.

Zhu Wen wanted "Seafood" in this mood, and he hurriedly informed everyone to leave early the next morning. That afternoon, just as Wang Dalun was packing things at home, he suddenly received a call, which surprised him. The drunken words on the table he thought had really become a reality. Tianzhuangzhuang invited him to work together to cooperate with his first movie after his comeback and remake the classic masterpiece - "Spring in a Small Town".
