Chapter 56 Photos(1/2)
Sitting in the car going home from school, Xu Rong silently turned on the system.

Xu Rong was not surprised to see that the experience value that had only increased by 19 points in the past six months.
After the comprehensive evaluation reached "A", rehearsing "Thunderstorm" with Pu Cunxi increased 8 experience points, and the shooting of "The Founding of the Party" increased 9 experience points.
The experience value increased by the verbal guidance of many seniors in the hospital has only increased by 2 points.
From his own feelings, the experience value increased by 19 points in half a year is not small.
First of all, his role in "The Founding of the Party" is not particularly large compared to the past. Others are originally guest appearances, and many people don't even have a single line, coming and leaving in a hurry, and their level of investment is not very high.
The rehearsal of "Thunderstorm" is worth learning from.
The seniors in the yard have real skills, but they either pull him to teach him how to draw or chat, and they can't hear a serious word for a long time.
The only two times were Mr. Zheng’s demonstration. Once, he forced the system to evaluate his “body” expression, and the other time he added 1 experience point. Perhaps his accumulation was at a critical point. The old man’s demonstration was just to crush the camel’s last straw, but it undoubtedly proved the difference.
Just saying things can’t be done, you need to teach me by yourself!
Because when others say the truth, he can figure it out carefully, but if he doesn't demonstrate it carefully, he can't integrate guiding theory and practice, and then form the instinct during the performance process.
"Xiao Zhang?"
"Xu Xing?"
"grandfather?"
After entering the house, he shouted three times while changing his shoes, but he didn't hear any response.
Xiao Zhang should have gone to the yard. Some time ago, she was busy playing the role of the Mother of the Nation in "The Founding of the Party". Feng Yuan was busier than her. Seeing that the sky was running outside, she could only give some advice occasionally, and she didn't have time to take her. She had to delay her again and again when she returned to the class.
Xu Xing also moved to live at home, mainly because he and Xiao Zhang went out to film. They were afraid that his grandfather would be bored at home alone, so they asked Xu Xing to move over.
But the facts proved that his worries were redundant. The old man always took the dog to chat and play chess in the community after he finished his meal and fed the pigeons. Sometimes he had to shout for food.
When he entered the living room, he poured a glass of water, held the water cup, and prepared to go to the study to get a book, and then went to the terrace to bask in the sun to read books.
If Xiao Zhang was at home, he would sit in the living room and listen to her talk about recent news, interesting things or jokes on Weibo.
But recently, he discovered something wrong. Weibo is a waste of time. Xiao Zhang tilted it anyway, and he spent most of his time giggling for most of the time. However, he turned off his phone or computer and asked her what he had seen. He could not say a word for a long time, so he came.
What he noticed was not that Weibo wasted time, but that spiritual consumer goods began to show a unipolar tendency. Taking film and television works as an example, in the past, it was polarized overall. One type was represented by pure commercial films, with the purpose of entertaining the public and making money, while the other type was art films that should have undertaken the "screaming". However, nowadays, art films have gradually tended toward business, praise and cannot take into account both, and cannot attract investment or pass the review.
The entire film and television industry, under the dual orientation of capital and policy, began to slide into the whirlpool of entertainment until death.
Entertainment products are the basis of survival for numbing the public. Otherwise, when people are idle, they will think and something will happen if they think.
However, at least some of the film and television works should also have artistic elements. Nowadays, there are not many "arts" and all the "arts" to make money are left.
Moreover, this process is almost irreversible. With the development of technology, various entertainment products are desperately competing for the public's time, and methods are emerging one after another. Under the promotion of interests, vicious competition gradually emerges. The more there is no lower limit of content, the more eye-catching it can be. In the end, a Nash balance between all parties is formed next to the lower limit, which means that once a party wants to improve and improve the quality of the content, it will become the only person who suffers interests.
Being surrounded by these things over time often makes most young people today think that the whole world and society are like this, rather than a factual individual case. Over time, the values of groups will gradually be distorted in an era.
Just like in the past, no matter whether a man or a woman cheated, she would be despised. But now, it is common and used to it.
Standing at the entrance of the stairs, Xu Rong thought of "Thunderstorm".
He suddenly felt that he seemed to understand the original intention of the old dean. Zhou Ping's pain and escape, fear of his father was part of it, and more of it should be a condemnation of inner morality.
This kind of moral condemnation is precisely the gradual abandonment of current entertainment products, but is decorated with other fancy principles, and even too lazy to beautify them.
At this time, he understood a little why the old dean was able to establish his master status as a master of modern literary history with a movie "Thunderstorm".
People live in the collective of society. Although the times are different, the problems they encounter often have commonalities. "Thunderstorm" reveals all aspects of problems and contradictions that will be encountered in any society through eight characters who are completely different in identities and who live in different classes.
Instead of simply "anti-feudalism" or the pursuit of freedom.
Never before, he wanted to play "Thunderstorm" well, and even regretted that he could not know how to clone the art and clearly present the demands of every character to every audience. Whether it is a cure or a loud slap, he only hopes to do his best to play the meaning of the drama itself.
It is September now, and this year he has no other arrangements except for the "Thunderstorm" after October 1st.
No, there are two more things.
One thing was that I went to take Xiao Zhang’s parents to celebrate the New Year before the New Year. Xiao Zhang went back to purchase New Year’s goods for my grandfather before the New Year last year. My grandfather specifically mentioned: I have one mind at home and have money to buy gold; I have two minds at home and have no money to buy needles.
He would not think that everything Xiao Zhang did was right because she was not famous in the film and television industry.
The so-called fame, status, resources, and connections are all the opinions of outsiders. If one day he is immersed in these halos, or even treats the people closest to him with an attitude towards irrelevant people, perhaps his most solid backing will gradually collapse.
Moreover, if Xiao Zhang's parents were not brought in, Xiao Zhang would have to go back to Anshan to celebrate the New Year. By then, the father and the father stayed in the capital and would have to have a lonely New Year.
Another thing is more important in comparison. Although he is worth a lot of money now, he doesn't have much cash. In order to obtain the copyright of "Ming Dynasty 1566", he did not discuss with his family and secretly mortgaged the house next to him by 50 million.
This is also the experience he learned from reading Zeng Guofan's letter a while ago. Wu Gang said that he was very motivated before, but now he is gone.
He didn't realize the changes that happened in the past. After being confirmed by Xiao Zhang, he thought for a long time and came up with a solution.
He is familiar with this matter.
I borrowed 15 million from Hairun that year, but the inflation rate was unexpectedly rising year by year. The house he bought for money has now soared to 60,000 yuan, which has appreciated nearly five times.
As for the loan amount of 50 million, he also carefully considered it.
Ten or 20 million is too little, and it will not put any pressure on him. When the studio is officially established, there will be no kickbacks from the middlemen, and the studio's tax incentives will be ten or 20 million, but he can pay it back with a play or an endorsement.
And one or two hundred million is too much, so there is no need to just put yourself in the pressure of breathlessness.
Fifty million is considered a critical point. He has the ability to repay it, but he can't pay it back for a while.
As it turns out, the effect is indeed good, at least when playing a great man, it was recognized by most people.
Xu Rong pushed open the door and walked in. He took out the book "Complete Works of Zeng Wenzheng" from the bookshelf. He was about to go to the terrace to rest, but before he turned around, he saw an envelope lying quietly on the table.
He walked over and picked it up. The envelope was not sealed. On the front, there was a line of elegant handwriting: Teacher Xu, for you.
The handwriting was obviously written by Xiao Zhang.
Xu Rong smiled, guessing that it must be some small surprises prepared by Xiao Zhang.
Just waited for him to take out seven or eight of them and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
He looked familiar to the background of the photo, but he had never seen it before. It was because there were every village in the street intersection like his hometown, but he had never seen the location of the photo taken.
He didn't know the person in the photo even more.
In the corner of the street, the old man with a dark back was sitting with gray hair and his face covered with gullies. One foot was bare and the other was wearing half-old cloth shoes. He was holding a porcelain bowl with lotus flowers in his hand, as if he was joking with the person sitting opposite him.
He looked at several other photos, all of which he didn't know, including men and women, but without exception, the background of the photos was taken in the countryside.
Xu Rong frowned and looked at the photos carefully. Why did Xiao Zhang give him these photos?
At some point, a sudden light of inspiration flashed through his mind and he hurried to the bathroom.
Looking at the face in the mirror, looking down at the photo, he understood completely.
He flipped through the photos in his hands one by one, and finally stopped on one of the photos of a thin girl. According to his grandfather, the person in the photo should be his sister, but looking at her looks, she looks a few years older than him.
He sighed softly and said nothing.
I walked downstairs, came to the kitchen, and unscrewed the gas stove.
He picked up the top one and put it on it, but when he was still four or five centimeters away from the flame, he hesitated for a moment and took it back.
He quietly lowered his head and passed it one by one. After a while, he reached out to close the fire, reinstalled the photos into the envelope, went upstairs, and stuffed them into a corner of the bookcase.
Maybe grandpa, Xiao Zhang, and even his fans, movie fans, will despise or even despise them, but he has long recognized the reality. For him, the people in the photo have now become a concept, and there is no resentment that most people think.
If it weren't for them, there wouldn't be him. If it weren't forsaken, there wouldn't be him today. He might have become five fat brothers in the photo, eating and waiting to die day by day.
And to a certain extent, he also used them to exude a wave of sympathy and favoritism for himself in front of the national audience.
Keep it, at least you know where you are from.
Zhang Li has always had a doubt in his heart recently, because long ago, Xu Rong called him to ask if he could spare a while and ask him to film a movie.
He had known for a long time that Xu Rong had come out to work alone now, but the studio seemed to have not officially opened yet. Could it be that Cheng Cheng was already anxious to change his identity from an actor to a capital?
When he arrived at the dining table and understood Xu Rong's plan, Zhang Li was completely confused.
Remake "Ming Dynasty 1566"!
And he only reshoots his scenes!
