The Right Way to Open a Perfect Life

exhausted?It doesn't exist, at least it's not time to be exhausted yet.

Sure enough, after a short rest, the two girls got up again and put the things they bought on the bed one by one.

Then I picked up my mobile phone and made a video call to my family, and enjoyed it with my sisters all afternoon. This has become a must-stop song for the Shen family. Every time someone buys something, they will call the sisters to watch and comment together.

Shen Yan was already used to it, so he didn't get involved. He came to the window and lit a cigarette. While smoking, he admired the Hong Kong city in the evening.

At [-]:[-] pm, Andy Lau called, saying that he had arrived at the hotel and reserved a private room, and asked Shen Yan and the three to go downstairs.

The three simply tidied up, and then went downstairs to the banquet together.

At first, Shen Yan thought that only Andy Lau and his wife came, but when he entered the private room, he realized that there were quite a lot of people. The Andy Lau and his wife must have come, not only the couple, but also their daughter.

Chapter 894

In addition, there are Liang Chaowei, Liu Jialing, Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Qiusheng, Lin Guoping, Liu Weiqiang, Mak Zhaohui and others.

It's like bringing all the famous people from the "Infernal Affairs" crew.

I have to say that the specifications of this reception banquet are really a bit high. You must know that these few people present here are the pillars of the Hong Kong film industry. It may not be as good now. In the past, they were all big-name figures.

"Teacher Shen has admired him for a long time!

"I've always wanted to see each other, but I never had the chance. This time I have to stay for a few more days." "It's really handsome. I always thought that Hua Tsai and Wei Tsai were already handsome enough. I didn't expect Teacher Shen to be even better. Hua Ziwei, you guys have to be careful."

and also

Seeing Shen Yan's family of three coming in, everyone present stood up to say hello.

All of them looked very enthusiastic, and there was no sense of xenophobia or playing tricks.

This is actually normal, the entertainment industry is a vanity fair, and it is also a place of right and wrong, but anyone who can make a difference in this circle basically belongs to those with two brushes.

And to be able to make a head start in the entertainment industry, and still be able to hang out for many years, it is not as simple as having two brushes, at least one must be able to behave.

There are also celebrities and entertainers who can't be human beings, but such people often don't last long, and will soon be abandoned by the times.

For example, Du Wenze is a living example. Although he is not a big name, he is also a good actor. He has fans in Hong Kong and the mainland. Basically it's hard to see him on the big screen.

He also starred in "Infernal Affairs" in his previous life, but now he has long been excluded from the mainstream film circle in Hong Kong. Everyone knows that he has offended mainland audiences. The movies he starred in can't even be released, so who dares to use him.

In comparison, Huang Qiusheng is much smarter. In fact, Huang Qiusheng's character is not very good. He thinks about the mainland, anyway, he never admits that he has any different views on the mainland.

He is also very hostile, but he is good at being a human being, he never speaks clearly, no matter how he includes the present in his heart, he doesn't know whether he agrees with Shen Yan or not, but he is very decent.

Of course, it was just a matter of saving face, except for Andy Lau, the others and Shen Yan only talked lightly and were familiar with each other.

Shen Yan didn't care about that either, Renminbi wasn't liked by everyone, let alone him, he wasn't so conceited that everyone had to respect him sincerely, it was also just a matter of face.

On the whole, the atmosphere of the reception banquet was good, especially after drinking some wine, the atmosphere was obviously more enthusiastic than at the beginning.

"Actually, it's a bit of a pity. I could have gone deeper into this book. My favorite is the concept of 'Infernal Affairs'. Infernal Hell bears the pain of eternal life. No matter how hard Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming struggled, it was long before they chose to be undercover agents. From that day on, their tragic lives were determined, but it must also be said that this kind of life is very interesting..."

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui changed seats with Tong Liya and Tang Yan, sat next to Shen Yan, and started discussing.

In comparison, the two of them had more topics with Shen Yan, because all three of them were directors, and the play "Infernal Affairs" was completed by three of them, Shen Yan was the screenwriter, and they were the directors.

In a sense, screenwriters and directors are the soul of a movie. Regardless of the actors always standing in front of the stage, the audience seems to only remember the actors, and they don't care who is the screenwriter and who is the director.

But from the perspective of the movie itself, actors are really not that important, at least not as important as screenwriters and directors.

If the screenwriter is the person who writes the story and the director is the person who tells the story, then the actor is at most a pawn in the story, or a tool.

There are very few actors who can support a play with their acting skills. There is no plot, no logic, and no perspective. Acting alone is like conquering the audience, which is just a dream.

"But it's just a commercial film, isn't it?"

Shen Yan crossed his legs, leaned forward and lit some cigarette ash on the table

He could hear that Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui seemed to have some regrets about what they said, because this book can indeed be dug deep, and a lot of humanity can be seen from the two undercover agents.

0…seeking flowers·…

From a director's point of view, exploring human nature and discussing human nature is undoubtedly very enjoyable, and it can best reflect the director's skills. This is why many directors, even famous and famous commercial directors, like to play art films.

Winning awards and being recognized by the circle is only one aspect, and another aspect is that literary films can best reflect the director's thinking.

In contrast, a commercial film is more like an industrial product, step by step to set up contradictions, step by step to lead to a climax, step by step to satisfy the audience, every link is fixed, or it is profitable to find, and there is not much worth it. The director plays and has the opportunity to bring private goods in the movie.

However, understanding is my understanding, but this awakening statement is undoubtedly still to be mentioned. "Infernal Affairs" is a commercial film. No matter what its core is, the most important thing for this film is to satisfy the audience and satisfy the box office.

He still has [-]% of the pure box office share in it. Of course, he doesn't want Liu Weiqiang and Mak Zhaohui to play so deeply that they make movies that are neither fish nor fowl.

Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui are undoubtedly smart people, and they both understood the meaning of Shen Yan's words, so they could only sigh in the end and kept saying 'it's a pity'.

They understand why Andy Lau attaches so much importance to this movie. The significance of this movie is not just a movie, but more like a loud cry from Hong Kong Movies. They want the outside world to hear the voice of Hong Kong Movies and prove that Hong Kong Movies not dead.

Under such a premise, a literary film, even an Oscar-winning literary film, is not as important as a commercial film that sells well at the box office.

What they need now is not the approval of the insiders, but the approval of the audience.

The dinner didn't end until after ten o'clock. Shen Yan sent Andy Lau and others out of the hotel, and then went upstairs with Tong Liya and Tang Yan.

Tong Liya put her arms around Shen Yan's arm, and sighed in various ways. Obviously, Andy Lau's daughter stimulated her again. She kept talking about how cute the little girl is, and Andy Lau and his wife also wanted to never have it at the beginning, and finally passed the test-tube baby. Only then did I get what I wanted.

Chapter 895 Hurry up and coax

Listening to the second sister's thoughts, Tang Yan poked her head out from the other side of Shen Yan, and said this to Tong Cai with a look of surprise, you and your husband are in the same age, what about it? "Li Ya said: "Second sister, don't you want to do test tubes too? Andy Lau is in his 40s, so there's no way Tong Liya didn't say anything, she just looked at Shen Yan, her bright and beautiful big eyes didn't blink, although there was no hint in her eyes , but the expression on Qiao's face clearly showed her thoughts - yes, I want to do it!

Obviously, Comrade Shen Lao Er, who has not been able to get what she wanted, has a feeling of being insane. She didn't just talk about it, but really had this idea.

Shen Yan smacked his mouth, then sighed helplessly, frowned and said, "I've told you eight hundred times, don't worry, don't worry, it's not that you really want to come, some people can't wait to be pregnant for more than ten years before they can conceive." Zero Two Three "Come on, how long have we been here?

Tong Liya raised her small mouth, her pretty face was a little unhappy, and she muttered in a low voice: "Test-tube babies are not necessarily a bad thing. Other scientists have proved that there is not much difference between test-tube and normal birth. On the contrary, the baby's body The quality will be better, and you can also choose the gender of the baby, I..."

"Is this a matter of test tube or not?" Shen Yan interrupted: "I'm talking about your mentality, why are you so anxious..."

"Then how can I not be in a hurry. Having a baby is a major event in a woman's life. Is it wrong for me to be in a hurry? You are not in a hurry. Anyway, you already have daughters now, and you may have more in the future. But for me , what’s in my stomach is mine.”

Tong Liya quarreled loudly with red eyes, then wiped her tears and ran into the hotel room quickly.

Shen Yan was stunned for a while, then he let out a long sigh.

As the old saying goes, there is no spoon who does not touch the basin, and there is no tongue who does not touch the teeth. It is normal for couples to get angry and quarrel.

Although Shen Yan and the girls had a good relationship, they couldn't escape getting angry and quarreling. This wasn't the first time, and obviously it wouldn't be the last time either.

"Don't be dazed, hurry up and coax, or you won't even be able to get on the bed at night, and have to sleep on the sofa." Tang Yan pushed Shen Yan's shoulder from behind, pushed Shen Yan back to the room, and then pushed him into the bedroom, Tang Yan didn't follow in. After pushing Shen Yan into the bedroom, she even helped close the door.

It was obviously not easy for her to show up at such a time, so she turned around and came to the chair on the balcony, stretched her white legs, and played with her mobile phone leisurely.

As for the relationship between her husband and the second sister, she didn't worry too much about it. It's not like the second sister can get away with the quarrel.

It's the so-called quarrel at the head of the bed and the end of the bed. I guess my husband just coaxed me a few words and gave me a step. As expected, the door of the bedroom opened within half an hour. Tong Liya smiled. If it wasn't for the red eyes, she was obviously crying However, she didn't know that she had quarreled with Shen Yan.

"Bath and sleep!"

Tang Yan stood up, raised her slender arms, and stretched her waist long.

The area of ​​Hong Kong City is small, and the land area of ​​the whole territory is only 1106.34 square kilometers. What is the concept, it is about the size of a district in the capital city.

Compared with the small land area, the population of Hong Kong City is extremely crowded, with a total population of nearly 800 million, making it one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

More people and less land, resulting in high land prices, really every inch of land, but also makes everything in the port city look very 'small'.

Like... the set.

"Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly a big production, both in terms of investment and cast.

If it were in the mainland, such a large crew would definitely use a huge set, but in Hong Kong City, the set of "Infernal Affairs" seemed very casual.

When Shen Yan rushed to the set, he even found that there were residents cooking next door.

"Come on, how was your rest last night?"

Andy Lau was wearing a costume and was speaking lines with Huang Qiusheng. When he saw the three members of the Shen family approaching, he walked over with a smile and said.

"Very good!" Shen Yan looked at the narrow studio and the room full of staff, and said, "Today is the scene of arrest?"

Liu Weiqiang also came over, heard the words and said: "Yes, this scene is very exciting, director Shen, do you want to come and let me secretly teach you."

Shen Yan said with a smile: "This is tantamount to scolding, I stole Director Liu's teacher... Tong Liya and Tang Yan came to the monitor and sat behind Liu Weiqiang.

A few people joked a little, Andy Lau went to the side and continued to talk to Huang Qiusheng, Shen Yan told him that he didn't want to interfere with the filming of the crew, he was originally an outsider, and he would point fingers when he came up, it must be very annoying, besides, he is also a director , Of course, I also know how annoying this kind of behavior is.

He was just watching from the sidelines. This was his responsibility as a producer. As for opinions, it would not be too late to talk about it after work was over.

"Infernal Affairs" tells the story of Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming as undercover police and gangsters respectively, and then the story of the police, gangsters and the two undercovers fighting wits and courage.

The two male protagonists are black and white, but under the arrangement of fate, white turns black, and black turns white, which is very dramatic and has a sense of fate.

The scene shot today was the first confrontation between the two undercover agents.

The police got information that the gangsters headed by Han Chen were going to conduct a drug deal. The police deployed surveillance in advance, and then the two undercover agents sent the information separately.

The scenes are not complicated, but the importance is self-evident.

This scene is actually not difficult for the actors. What is really difficult is that the director must control the overall rhythm and create an atmosphere of tension and suspense.

Shen Yan sat silently behind Liu Weiqiang, Tong Liya and Tang Yan were also very quiet, leaning on her husband's shoulders on one left and one on the right, silently watching the actors acting.

They will officially join the group starting tomorrow. Although the lines have already been memorized, and the roles have been analyzed by the husband, the two girls are still under some pressure.

They knew that the reason why Andy Lau asked the Shen family to produce two heroines was not because of how good their acting skills were, but because of an exchange of benefits, to sell her husband's face.

In this way, if they don't take good pictures, it's not their own people who lose face, but the face of their Shen family.

"Kah, Hua Tsai don't push too hard, I want to see the tension, OK? You're an insider, you're walking a tightrope, OK?"

Liu Weiqiang was clearly in the mood, he was not in the mood to greet Shen Yan anymore, he didn't even buy Andy Lau's face, he got up and shouted at Andy Lau loudly.

Chapter 896

Directors have never had a good temper.
