Qiong Ren and his manager entered the complex belonging to Ai Ku Xun, and Ai Yu Xing Guang Ye held a rehearsal on the first floor.
The agent said: "Wang Yaoqing will also come. This year is the 10th anniversary of his teacher Su Huaizhang's birth. Rong Zhen and Li Kui are also students of Mr. Su. There will be a special commemorative event, which will last about [-] minutes."
Su Huaizhang is an old filmmaker who has made great contributions to the film industry. He taught at the Dragon City Drama Academy during his lifetime, and many big names in the film and television industry have been his students.
Qiong Ren has watched the ink film "Question of the Sword" directed by the old man many years ago. The ink style fully shows the chicness and elegance of the sword fairy.
The old man passed away a few years ago, so he was considered a very old man.
The repertoire set by Qiong Ren is his upcoming new song "Zhe Gui Ling", which is taken from the suite of "Sorrow in the South of the Yangtze River" from the Kunqu opera "Peach Blossom Fan".
Zhang Hao invited Qiong Ren to write a theme song for the movie "Peach Blossom Fan". Originally, Zhang Hao wanted to use "Leaving the Pavilion Banquet with Resting Fingers", but Qiong Ren felt that it was not appropriate.
Although this song is good, everyone has heard the lines "Seeing him get up from Zhulou", but the lyrics directly express the pain of Nanming's demise, are passionate and sharp, and are not suitable for this movie.
He thinks that if he insists on choosing from "Sorrow in the South of the Yangtze River", "Zhe Guilin" and "Great Wine" are more appropriate. The words are full of things that are neither human nor human. On the contrary, they are in line with the sad and sad tone of the movie "Peach Blossom Fan". coincide.
The song is of course newly written, but some samples of the original song are also mixed, and the bleak Xiao sound and the slightly inorganic psychedelic electronic instrument match unexpectedly very well.
The original song was written by Su Kunsheng when he revisited Jinling after the fall of Nanming and saw the desolation of his family and country.Qiong Ren's voice lacks the vicissitudes and sadness brought by the years. It is better to compose the music again than to imitate it.
In fact, "You Will Not End Well" has already been finished, but people in the entertainment industry are very sensitive. He is afraid that others will think he is mocking someone, so he should save it and sing it in the underworld.
Qiong Ren opened his voice in the lounge, and the staff member who came to ask him to go to the rehearsal was a man in his forties, and Qiong Ren felt very familiar at first glance.
He searched carefully in his mind, and finally remembered that this person is Zhou Mi, a cutting-edge director who made a horror movie a few years ago called "Turn on the Lights".
Watching "Turn on the Light" is a rare movie-watching experience in Qiong Ren's life.
It was a horror movie in which there were ghosts, but the ghosts did not appear frontally.It is said that it is extremely scary, but Qiong Ren doesn't feel it. He is only afraid when ghosts appear. If ghosts don't appear, he doesn't care whether there are ghosts outside the screen at all.
As long as the ghost content in the picture is zero, he is fine.
Although it didn't scare him, the plot was really interesting.He watched all the director's works and felt that the director was really good at shooting.
Whether it is a horror film or a short film, Zhou Mi is very interesting. In layman's terms, he is very good at telling stories. Ordinary stories can be told with gusto in his hands. If the plot is good, he can give full play to his advantages.
Qiong Ren expected the director to create another masterpiece, but Zhou Mi disappeared.
"Hi, may I ask if you are Director Zhou Mi?"
The staff nodded in surprise: "You actually recognize me."
Qiong Ren smiled: "Of course I know you, you are very good at filming."
Zhou Mi smiled bitterly, but didn't answer.
Seeing that he was a little depressed, Qiong Ren said, "Can I take a photo with you?"
Zhou Mi was a little surprised.
Qiong Ren said with a smile: "I like your movies very much. I have watched "Turn on the Lights" many times."
Zhou Mi: "Aren't you afraid? To be honest, I also shivered while watching the finished film of "Turn on the Lights."
Qiongren: "I'm relatively slow in this aspect, so I think it's okay, but I like the story and shooting method very much."
Zhou Mi was a bit sad at first, but after listening to Qiong Ren's words, the corners of his eyes lifted a lot, and they were not so drooping anymore.
The two took a photo together in the corridor.
Zhou Mi and Qiong Ren talked about some interesting things that happened during the filming. The two walked and chatted, and they walked to the studio after a while. Zhou Mi still had a lot to say.
It's been a long time since he told anyone about his filming.
On the stage, the last rehearsal person is still not well.A girl came over and whispered, "Director Wang wants to wait for the second time, it will be ready soon, please wait."
Qiong Ren raised his eyes and saw that it was Wang Yaoqing.He was talking about how Elder Su took care of him back then, and he also regarded Elder Su as his half-father.
I can't wait to label myself the word Su Clan's Closed Disciple.
Qiong Ren turned his head and said: "I remember that you also graduated from Dragon City Drama Academy, did Mr. Su teach you?"
Hearing him mention his alma mater, Zhou Mi finally believed that Qiong Ren was really not merciful because he was a good person, so he gave him a bit of attention to this outdated director, with a smile on his face: "Yes. Teacher Su is very good to me. When I was in school, he should have retired according to his age, and he was rehired by the school later.
"The students in our school are relatively free, but Teacher Su is very strict. He doesn't allow students to miss classes casually. For a while, in order to curb the phenomenon of students missing classes, Teacher Su often tremblingly took a small notebook, Suddenly appeared at the back door of the large classroom to roll call.
"That kind of feeling is like going back to high school again. His house is next to the school. Compared with my classmates, my family is not good. It costs money to learn our profession. When I can't make it, there is no less Go to his house for dinner."
He was already well-known when he graduated, but unfortunately, things got worse and worse later on. He spent all his family money to shoot a horror movie, but in the end he had no money for post-production, and he couldn't attract investors.
Li Kui introduced him to work at ikuxun. Originally, Li Kui wanted to invite him to film a variety show together, but Zhou Mi felt that he had not been going well in the past few years, and he didn't want to bring down his seniors.
What's more, although they are all directors, there is a big difference between variety shows and movies and TV shows. What if Li Kui's variety show revenue drops if he interferes?
The two were chatting, Wang Yaoqing finished the rehearsal, heard the sound stop, Qiong Ren casually glanced at the stage.
"Ok?"
Why is there an old man standing on the stage...
Qiong Ren is used to all kinds of sudden supernatural events. He didn't ask if you saw the old man, nor did he secretly wonder who the old man was, but immediately looked at the big screen in the background.
Sure enough, the old man on the stage was exactly the same as the old Su on the big screen.
His hair was all white, his body was still very straight, and he was holding a carved cane, which was slamming Wang Yaoqing on the head.
It's a pity that the new ghost is weak.The power level of a ghost depends not only on the year of death, but also on the level of resentment.
Su Huaizhang passed away a short time ago, and judging by his peaceful temperament, he didn't have the potential to be a vengeful spirit.
Wang Yaoqing saw a very eye-catching young man in the audience. Although he was wearing simple clothes, he was very conspicuous.His eyesight was not very good, and he squinted his eyes for a few seconds before realizing it.
Isn't this the little bastard Qiong Ren?
This temperament, this appearance, just like the auspicious unicorn in his new drama!
The most important thing in a drama about Xianxia, Shanhai is the character setting. The actors must stick to the characters, because the world is too far from people's lives. If the actors don't stick to it, it will be easy for the audience to play.
Wang Yaoqing knew that no one was more suitable than Qiong Ren, and Qiong Ren repeatedly refused to act. In his eyes, this was Qiong Ren deliberately ruining his new drama.
That's why he hated Qiong Ren deeply.
Apart from Qiong Ren, which little idol would refuse his play contract?
I don't know how.
He sneered down the steps, holding up his noble head.
In a daze, he seemed to see Jin Xuecheng smiling at him, Wang Yaoqing's foot slipped, his butt fell to the ground, and he slid down the steps.
The staff was so frightened that he hurried up to help him, Wang Yaoqing was in pain, but still smiled calmly: "It's nothing serious, I accidentally slipped and fell, just kidding."
Mr. Su came down the steps, saw Zhou Mi beside Qiong Ren, and showed a distressed face: "Hey, good boy, you have suffered. What kind of world is this, you can't get ahead, Wang Yaoqing has become a sweet potato."
At this time, Wang Yaoqing had already walked in front of Qiong Ren, showing a hypocritical smile: "Xiao Qiong, it's a pleasure to see you on this occasion."
Qiong Ren saw that the dark circles under his eyes were almost down to his cheekbones, and he couldn't cover them, so he asked sympathetically, "Director Wang is patrolling the Internet to enforce the law at night? Otherwise, why do you look like you haven't slept for five days? At your age But I can’t bear it, if I endure it twice, it’s easy to kill people.”
Master Lin hasn't come back yet, Wang Yaoqing can only endure the humiliation: "Thank you Xiaoqiong for your concern."
He turned his head to look at Zhou Mi, and affectionately patted Zhou Mi on the shoulder a few times: "Xiao Zhou, how are you doing here at ikuxun? Don't think I talk too much, and you can't give up this job just because being a director is too tiring, okay?" Do it, you are very talented, and Mr. Su used to praise you all the time."
Zhou Mi barely raised the corner of his mouth, but this expression can hardly be called a smile.
"Thank you senior for your concern, I've always wanted to take a picture of me a few years ago..."
Wang Yaoqing raised his head, as if he saw someone important, "I still have something to do today, we'll talk about it later, Xiao Qiong, goodbye."
Seeing his strange posture, Qiong Ren reminded: "Director Wang, remember to go to the hospital, don't break your tailbone."
Wang Yaoqing was sullen, but still smiled and turned around: "Okay, I will remember."
"Mr. Qiong, you can rehearse." The girl was worried that the two would fight, but fortunately, the sword and sword had passed, after all, there was no fight on the spot.
Qiong Ren looked at the mournful Zhou Mi, and was so angry that Mr. Su who kept waving his walking stick at Wang Yaoqing's back said, "I'll rehearse first, and wait for me to come back."
His gaze passed Zhou Mi, and met with Elder Su's gaze again.
Qiong Ren deliberately nodded to Elder Su before taking the stage.
Mr. Su was stunned, can this kid see me?
As soon as he got excited, there was a burst of noise from the sound system at the scene, and the noise continued for a while.
Everyone covered their ears, not knowing why there was a sudden explosion.
The sound engineer who couldn't find the reason broke out in a sweat.
Qiong Ren stared at Mr. Su silently on the stage, I know you are very excited, but you should calm down a little.
He made a push-down gesture.
The old man confirmed that he could indeed see him, and his excitement calmed down a little. He looked around quickly, worried that others would know that he was the one who caused the sound accident.
But soon, the old man lowered his head in frustration. These people couldn't see him at all, so naturally they wouldn't blame him.
Ai Yu Xingguang Ye didn't provide a band, so Qiong Ren saved the step of joining the band. He didn't feel stage fright after he came on stage, and started singing while holding the microphone.
"Ask Qinhuai Old Richuangliao."
Mr. Su heard the lyrics clearly, and was so angry that his beard was about to fly.
Good Kunqu opera, good words, how have they been changed?
After the child's rehearsal is over, he must talk about it.
Zhou Mi was amazed when he heard it, he had also heard the original song, Qiong Ren's version and the original version are of course not the same thing.
But his adaptation is not as frivolous as some songs that use traditional opera as a gimmick. It sounds sad and mournful. The pronunciation is obviously learned from Jinling dialect, and the dialect singing does sound more charming.
He listened to the song deeply, as if he had also seen the red leaves and bright yellow flowers of Jinling in the old days, and butterflies shuttled among them.Trees, flowers and birds are thriving, but it makes the world more lonely.
Old Su's angry expression also gradually faded, revealing a sad look.
Who knows better than the dead, what is right and wrong?
After death, everything will naturally rest.
Although Rong Zhen and Li Kui organized a [-]th birthday celebration for him, how many people in the audience will really know him by then?
Even the students who talked about the interesting things he had with Mr. Su on stage may not really miss him in their hearts.
His wife left early, his children were abroad, and he was often accompanied by students in his later years, so he didn't feel that his later years were bleak.
But I didn't expect that before death, there were many people in the market, and after death, not to mention burning paper and burning incense, not many people even went to the tomb to offer flowers.Only then did I know that those people wanted the name of Su Shi's disciples, and they wanted to develop their contacts through him.
Having lived for nearly a century, but still can't even see through this little trick, it's like living in vain.
Originally, he thought that although Wang Yaoqing was mediocre in talent, he was hard-working and down-to-earth, so he took special care of this student.
But when he died, Wang Yaoqing stole and sold the books and films he treasured during his lifetime, and the precious materials were regarded as waste paper by the nanny and weighed for price.
The things collected in a lifetime, just because they died too hastily, the final fate is one yuan per catty, and the collectors of waste paper still think that the paper is too old, and want to lower the price to [-] cents.
Every time he thinks about it, Su Huaizhang feels like a knife is twisting in his heart.
Zhou Mi is still young and doesn't have the same feelings as Su Lao, but he can't help but think of his high-spirited self in the past. At that time, he only thought that he could leave a name in film history.
Later, he encountered setbacks again and again, the filming was extremely unsatisfactory, the investors regretted withdrawing their capital, and the actors ran away. He was working hard for his film every day, but there were always new problems waiting for him.
Either question his shooting techniques, or say that the story is not attractive enough, or that the actors are not famous enough, or say that horror films also need to have a big IP, and force him to create a typical image like Sadako.
After being rejected a lot, he inevitably became really puzzled, whether my film is really rubbish, maybe I am really a terrible director, and the past success is just luck.
Li Kui and Rong Zhen wanted to help him, but he no longer had confidence.
His wife, Yu Wei, was involved in a car accident after she became pregnant.She has always supported his dream, but he cannot repay his wife's dedication with success.
Although the current job has nothing to do with the director, but the job is stable, so that my wife can not worry about the child's milk powder diapers.
Comparing the past and the present, Zhou Mi is both guilty and sad.
In order to fit the artistic conception, Qiong Ren deliberately changed his singing, making his voice mellow with a bit of abrupt hoarseness, as if the singer could hardly contain his own sadness.
This point was not perfect, but Zhou Mi and Mr. Su's hearts tightened at the same time. They were worried that Qiong Ren's singing would be interrupted because of being too full of emotions, and because of the hoarseness, the sadness in their hearts suddenly burst out.
"The autumn water is long, the sky is too few people, the deserted sunset, there is only a tree and willow bending over."
The prosperity of the past no longer exists, the bleak scene, the bleak people's hearts, the deserted is not only the sunset, but also the people who see the sunset.
This desolation coincided with Mr. Su's state of mind, and he unknowingly shed two turbid tears.This kid sings very well, very well.
Every word and sentence sang to the heart of this old man.
Zhou Mi's eyes were red, he raised his head, hoping to stop the tears from falling with this movement.
The accompaniment fell, and Qiong Ren sang the last two lines again. When singing a cappella, it became more sad and moving, and the ending sound gradually lowered, trembling the hearts of the audience.
After the song was sung, Qiong Ren stood on the stage for a while, covering his eyes with his hands.
After the moisture in his eyes dried up, he put down his hands and bowed to the audience, his voice still a little astringent: "I've finished the rehearsal, thank you everyone."
No one in the audience applauded, they were like statues, silently shedding tears.
Zhou Mi and Mr. Su followed Qiong Ren back to his lounge.
As soon as he entered the door, Qiong Ren immediately asked: "Director Zhou, to be honest, I am very interested in your movie, do you want to invest?"
Feeling sad and frustrated, Zhou Mi, who was about to have a sad conversation with Qiong Ren, couldn't turn around all of a sudden, "What did you say?"
Mr. Su was very excited: "You have a good eye, and Xiao Zhou's things are especially important. It's hard to say whether they will make money or not, but the quality is guaranteed."
It's not that Qiong Ren suddenly had a heart attack. His underworld video website is currently operating well. Li Kui's special edited version of "Spiritual 101" is also launched in the underworld, and the click rate is extremely high.
The huge ghost traffic made his simple little website unbearable, and it collapsed eighteen times in one day, comparable to the green Jinjiang in the underworld.
HBL2003 has urgently hired more domestic computers and rented more servers, so that Xiaopo's website can barely stabilize.
In recent days, the number of clicks on "Spirit 101" has far exceeded the total number of previously purchased documentaries.
Now the situation is obvious, the local government video network is indeed very popular, the masses love it, and it also has economic prospects.
He could have continued to buy Yangshi's variety shows and film and television works from Aikuxun, but Qiong Ren felt that in addition to being good-looking, a work must take root in the masses in order to have long-term vitality.
No matter how good the story of Yang Shi is, it is about people, not ghosts.Residents of the underworld should also have their own movies and TV shows.
"If our cooperation goes well, I may not only invest in your movie, but also invite you to make other themes," Qiong Ren said, "Just one thing, are you afraid of ghosts?"
Zhou Mi didn't know the lethality of these words at the moment, so he shook his little head innocently.
"Old Su, he is not afraid of ghosts, do you have anything to say?"
Qiong Ren spoke to the empty place.
The agent turned pale in shock: "What are you doing? Can you talk about things like hell?"
Zhou Mi said just now that he wasn't afraid, because he didn't believe in ghosts at all, but when he heard what his manager said, his heart suddenly became more subtle.
Mr. Su, is that his teacher Su Huaizhang?
Qiong Ren continued to talk to the air: "Why don't you say something that can prove your identity."
Zhou Mi saw Qiong Ren's listening intently and nodded his head from time to time, suddenly remembering how Qiong Ren became popular, he trembled a little, but he felt a little anticipation.
"Mr. Su said, you used to go to his house to have a meal. One time, his old friend gave him a box of mushrooms brought in by air. When you went to make a meal again, you took it to fried rice and saw the villain that night. Poor Mr. Su is getting old and has to take care of you, you idiot."
The more Zhou Mi listened, the more stupefied he became, Qiong Ren was able to say this...
When Mr. Su received the mushrooms, he was confused and forgot the power of wild mushrooms in Nanzhao. When he saw him come to eat, he specifically asked him to use mushrooms to fry rice, which must be delicious.
He was half-starved, so he ate casually stir-fried, thinking that what Mr. Su bought must be the artificial bacteria from the supermarket, there would be no problem.
After being poisoned, he thought it was because he had stayed up too much late at night, and finally got out of his mind, so he saw a row of villains dancing hand in hand on the ceiling.
This incident fully demonstrated how unreliable the teacher and student were. Both of them were very guilty and made an appointment not to tell others about such stupid things.
Zhou Mi burst into tears: "Teacher, are you really here?"
Elder Su also wiped away tears frequently: "Hey, it's all fate."
Qiong Ren waited for the two people to calm down a little, and then said: "It's like this. Your movie lacks post-processing and special effects, and I happen to have an advantage in this regard."
Zhou Mi immediately looked at Qiong Ren expectantly: "Do you have a post-production company?"
The names have changed.
"No," Qiong Ren shook his head, "I'm very different from ordinary investors. Ordinary investors can give you money and resources. As for me, I don't have a lot of money, and I don't have many connections in Yangjian."
Zhou Mi: "Then..."
He noticed that Qiong Ren's words "on this side of the Yangjian" imply that there are connections in the underworld?
But isn't that too fantastical?
Qiong Ren: "It's like this. I really don't have the money to invest in you for fake special effects, but we can do it for real."
Zhou Mi: "Really..."
"People have watched too many ordinary ghost movies," Qiong Ren said. "If you want to make a movie, you should make a real ghost movie. It's really haunted, there are real ghosts, real ghosts star in it, and after it's released, it's for real ghosts to watch, of course. We will not spare the audience in Yangjian, what do you think?
"I can even invite real ghost musicians to write movie soundtracks for you, and you just say, is it the only one in the world."
Zhou Mi was still trying to digest the amount of information in Qiong Ren's words, but Mr. Su became excited.
Why did he not go to reincarnation after death, but became a lonely ghost wandering around? Was it because an old ghost who died early told him that the underworld was very boring, not only had to go to work every day like the world, but also had no There are so many cultural activities in the world.
He loves movies and art, that's why he wanders in this world.
"Xiao Qiong, if I can really make movies, can I do it too?"
He stopped making movies in his later years, on the one hand because he concentrated on teaching, and on the other hand because he was old and his physical strength really couldn't keep up.
Qiong Ren nodded: "Of course, as long as you want, you can join my studio in the underworld, and shoot some short stories to test the water first. Haven't you made ink-and-wash animated films before? If you want to draw materials from traditional Chinese paintings If so, we have a lot of underworld masters, Wu Daozi and Zhou Fang haven't been reincarnated yet."
Su Huaizhang's heart is surging!
He didn't expect that there would be such a benefit in death. He could discuss the film style with the painter thousands of years ago. As long as he thought about it, he felt that he was about to pass out with happiness.
"However, you have to go through the reincarnation process in the underworld first, and become a decent citizen of the underworld before you can work in my studio. If you figure it out, I can notify the underworld to pick you up."
Su Huaizhang repeatedly nodded and said yes, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Qiong Ren: "Xiao Qiong, tell Zhou Mi for me that he has been unlucky for the past few years. I didn't believe in gods and ghosts when I was alive. Only when I fell into a ghost did I realize that my former self was too narrow.
"I've been visiting him from time to time over the years, and I think he seems to have been murdered."
Qiong Ren frowned, and asked Zhou Mi: "Old Su said that you have been unlucky these past few years, can you..."
His pupils shrank.
Unlucky enough, the highly anticipated up-and-coming director suddenly fell silent, and then he couldn't turn himself around, and had to do other jobs in order to make ends meet.
Why is this experience so familiar?
Isn't he exactly the same as himself a few months ago?
The author has something to say: the tunes mentioned in this article are placed below.
[Zhe Gui Ling] Ask Qinhuai in the old sun window hut, the torn paper faces the wind, the broken sill meets the tide, the eyes are broken and the soul disappears.Fen Dai back then, where was Shengxiao?The light boats are not noisy at Duanyang, and the wine flag is heavy nine boring.White birds are fluttering, green water is surging, tender yellow flowers are flying, and new red leaves are not seen by anyone.
[Gu Meijiu] Do you remember crossing the Qingxi Banli Bridge, there is no old red board.The autumn water is long and there are too few people in the sky, and the deserted sunset leaves a tree and willow bent over.
[Leaving the pavilion with a rest finger] I have seen the jade palace in Jinling cry at dawn, and the flowers in the Qinhuai waterside pavilion bloom early, who knew it would be easy to melt away!Seeing him getting up from Zhulou, seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse!This pile of moss and green tiles, I once slept in the wind, and watched the rise and fall of 50 years.The bird clothes alley is not surnamed Wang, the ghosts of Mochou Lake cry at night, and the owls live on the Phoenix Terrace.The dream of the remnant mountain is the most real, and the old environment is hard to lose. If you don't believe this map, it will be changed!Compose a set of "Sad Jiangnan", and sing it sadly until you grow old.
You should have seen both Wu Daozi and Zhou Fang in art textbooks. I remember that the former contained the "Picture of Sending the Son of the Heavenly King" in the textbook, and the latter contained the "Picture of Lady with Hairpin Flowers" in the textbook.
The agent said: "Wang Yaoqing will also come. This year is the 10th anniversary of his teacher Su Huaizhang's birth. Rong Zhen and Li Kui are also students of Mr. Su. There will be a special commemorative event, which will last about [-] minutes."
Su Huaizhang is an old filmmaker who has made great contributions to the film industry. He taught at the Dragon City Drama Academy during his lifetime, and many big names in the film and television industry have been his students.
Qiong Ren has watched the ink film "Question of the Sword" directed by the old man many years ago. The ink style fully shows the chicness and elegance of the sword fairy.
The old man passed away a few years ago, so he was considered a very old man.
The repertoire set by Qiong Ren is his upcoming new song "Zhe Gui Ling", which is taken from the suite of "Sorrow in the South of the Yangtze River" from the Kunqu opera "Peach Blossom Fan".
Zhang Hao invited Qiong Ren to write a theme song for the movie "Peach Blossom Fan". Originally, Zhang Hao wanted to use "Leaving the Pavilion Banquet with Resting Fingers", but Qiong Ren felt that it was not appropriate.
Although this song is good, everyone has heard the lines "Seeing him get up from Zhulou", but the lyrics directly express the pain of Nanming's demise, are passionate and sharp, and are not suitable for this movie.
He thinks that if he insists on choosing from "Sorrow in the South of the Yangtze River", "Zhe Guilin" and "Great Wine" are more appropriate. The words are full of things that are neither human nor human. On the contrary, they are in line with the sad and sad tone of the movie "Peach Blossom Fan". coincide.
The song is of course newly written, but some samples of the original song are also mixed, and the bleak Xiao sound and the slightly inorganic psychedelic electronic instrument match unexpectedly very well.
The original song was written by Su Kunsheng when he revisited Jinling after the fall of Nanming and saw the desolation of his family and country.Qiong Ren's voice lacks the vicissitudes and sadness brought by the years. It is better to compose the music again than to imitate it.
In fact, "You Will Not End Well" has already been finished, but people in the entertainment industry are very sensitive. He is afraid that others will think he is mocking someone, so he should save it and sing it in the underworld.
Qiong Ren opened his voice in the lounge, and the staff member who came to ask him to go to the rehearsal was a man in his forties, and Qiong Ren felt very familiar at first glance.
He searched carefully in his mind, and finally remembered that this person is Zhou Mi, a cutting-edge director who made a horror movie a few years ago called "Turn on the Lights".
Watching "Turn on the Light" is a rare movie-watching experience in Qiong Ren's life.
It was a horror movie in which there were ghosts, but the ghosts did not appear frontally.It is said that it is extremely scary, but Qiong Ren doesn't feel it. He is only afraid when ghosts appear. If ghosts don't appear, he doesn't care whether there are ghosts outside the screen at all.
As long as the ghost content in the picture is zero, he is fine.
Although it didn't scare him, the plot was really interesting.He watched all the director's works and felt that the director was really good at shooting.
Whether it is a horror film or a short film, Zhou Mi is very interesting. In layman's terms, he is very good at telling stories. Ordinary stories can be told with gusto in his hands. If the plot is good, he can give full play to his advantages.
Qiong Ren expected the director to create another masterpiece, but Zhou Mi disappeared.
"Hi, may I ask if you are Director Zhou Mi?"
The staff nodded in surprise: "You actually recognize me."
Qiong Ren smiled: "Of course I know you, you are very good at filming."
Zhou Mi smiled bitterly, but didn't answer.
Seeing that he was a little depressed, Qiong Ren said, "Can I take a photo with you?"
Zhou Mi was a little surprised.
Qiong Ren said with a smile: "I like your movies very much. I have watched "Turn on the Lights" many times."
Zhou Mi: "Aren't you afraid? To be honest, I also shivered while watching the finished film of "Turn on the Lights."
Qiongren: "I'm relatively slow in this aspect, so I think it's okay, but I like the story and shooting method very much."
Zhou Mi was a bit sad at first, but after listening to Qiong Ren's words, the corners of his eyes lifted a lot, and they were not so drooping anymore.
The two took a photo together in the corridor.
Zhou Mi and Qiong Ren talked about some interesting things that happened during the filming. The two walked and chatted, and they walked to the studio after a while. Zhou Mi still had a lot to say.
It's been a long time since he told anyone about his filming.
On the stage, the last rehearsal person is still not well.A girl came over and whispered, "Director Wang wants to wait for the second time, it will be ready soon, please wait."
Qiong Ren raised his eyes and saw that it was Wang Yaoqing.He was talking about how Elder Su took care of him back then, and he also regarded Elder Su as his half-father.
I can't wait to label myself the word Su Clan's Closed Disciple.
Qiong Ren turned his head and said: "I remember that you also graduated from Dragon City Drama Academy, did Mr. Su teach you?"
Hearing him mention his alma mater, Zhou Mi finally believed that Qiong Ren was really not merciful because he was a good person, so he gave him a bit of attention to this outdated director, with a smile on his face: "Yes. Teacher Su is very good to me. When I was in school, he should have retired according to his age, and he was rehired by the school later.
"The students in our school are relatively free, but Teacher Su is very strict. He doesn't allow students to miss classes casually. For a while, in order to curb the phenomenon of students missing classes, Teacher Su often tremblingly took a small notebook, Suddenly appeared at the back door of the large classroom to roll call.
"That kind of feeling is like going back to high school again. His house is next to the school. Compared with my classmates, my family is not good. It costs money to learn our profession. When I can't make it, there is no less Go to his house for dinner."
He was already well-known when he graduated, but unfortunately, things got worse and worse later on. He spent all his family money to shoot a horror movie, but in the end he had no money for post-production, and he couldn't attract investors.
Li Kui introduced him to work at ikuxun. Originally, Li Kui wanted to invite him to film a variety show together, but Zhou Mi felt that he had not been going well in the past few years, and he didn't want to bring down his seniors.
What's more, although they are all directors, there is a big difference between variety shows and movies and TV shows. What if Li Kui's variety show revenue drops if he interferes?
The two were chatting, Wang Yaoqing finished the rehearsal, heard the sound stop, Qiong Ren casually glanced at the stage.
"Ok?"
Why is there an old man standing on the stage...
Qiong Ren is used to all kinds of sudden supernatural events. He didn't ask if you saw the old man, nor did he secretly wonder who the old man was, but immediately looked at the big screen in the background.
Sure enough, the old man on the stage was exactly the same as the old Su on the big screen.
His hair was all white, his body was still very straight, and he was holding a carved cane, which was slamming Wang Yaoqing on the head.
It's a pity that the new ghost is weak.The power level of a ghost depends not only on the year of death, but also on the level of resentment.
Su Huaizhang passed away a short time ago, and judging by his peaceful temperament, he didn't have the potential to be a vengeful spirit.
Wang Yaoqing saw a very eye-catching young man in the audience. Although he was wearing simple clothes, he was very conspicuous.His eyesight was not very good, and he squinted his eyes for a few seconds before realizing it.
Isn't this the little bastard Qiong Ren?
This temperament, this appearance, just like the auspicious unicorn in his new drama!
The most important thing in a drama about Xianxia, Shanhai is the character setting. The actors must stick to the characters, because the world is too far from people's lives. If the actors don't stick to it, it will be easy for the audience to play.
Wang Yaoqing knew that no one was more suitable than Qiong Ren, and Qiong Ren repeatedly refused to act. In his eyes, this was Qiong Ren deliberately ruining his new drama.
That's why he hated Qiong Ren deeply.
Apart from Qiong Ren, which little idol would refuse his play contract?
I don't know how.
He sneered down the steps, holding up his noble head.
In a daze, he seemed to see Jin Xuecheng smiling at him, Wang Yaoqing's foot slipped, his butt fell to the ground, and he slid down the steps.
The staff was so frightened that he hurried up to help him, Wang Yaoqing was in pain, but still smiled calmly: "It's nothing serious, I accidentally slipped and fell, just kidding."
Mr. Su came down the steps, saw Zhou Mi beside Qiong Ren, and showed a distressed face: "Hey, good boy, you have suffered. What kind of world is this, you can't get ahead, Wang Yaoqing has become a sweet potato."
At this time, Wang Yaoqing had already walked in front of Qiong Ren, showing a hypocritical smile: "Xiao Qiong, it's a pleasure to see you on this occasion."
Qiong Ren saw that the dark circles under his eyes were almost down to his cheekbones, and he couldn't cover them, so he asked sympathetically, "Director Wang is patrolling the Internet to enforce the law at night? Otherwise, why do you look like you haven't slept for five days? At your age But I can’t bear it, if I endure it twice, it’s easy to kill people.”
Master Lin hasn't come back yet, Wang Yaoqing can only endure the humiliation: "Thank you Xiaoqiong for your concern."
He turned his head to look at Zhou Mi, and affectionately patted Zhou Mi on the shoulder a few times: "Xiao Zhou, how are you doing here at ikuxun? Don't think I talk too much, and you can't give up this job just because being a director is too tiring, okay?" Do it, you are very talented, and Mr. Su used to praise you all the time."
Zhou Mi barely raised the corner of his mouth, but this expression can hardly be called a smile.
"Thank you senior for your concern, I've always wanted to take a picture of me a few years ago..."
Wang Yaoqing raised his head, as if he saw someone important, "I still have something to do today, we'll talk about it later, Xiao Qiong, goodbye."
Seeing his strange posture, Qiong Ren reminded: "Director Wang, remember to go to the hospital, don't break your tailbone."
Wang Yaoqing was sullen, but still smiled and turned around: "Okay, I will remember."
"Mr. Qiong, you can rehearse." The girl was worried that the two would fight, but fortunately, the sword and sword had passed, after all, there was no fight on the spot.
Qiong Ren looked at the mournful Zhou Mi, and was so angry that Mr. Su who kept waving his walking stick at Wang Yaoqing's back said, "I'll rehearse first, and wait for me to come back."
His gaze passed Zhou Mi, and met with Elder Su's gaze again.
Qiong Ren deliberately nodded to Elder Su before taking the stage.
Mr. Su was stunned, can this kid see me?
As soon as he got excited, there was a burst of noise from the sound system at the scene, and the noise continued for a while.
Everyone covered their ears, not knowing why there was a sudden explosion.
The sound engineer who couldn't find the reason broke out in a sweat.
Qiong Ren stared at Mr. Su silently on the stage, I know you are very excited, but you should calm down a little.
He made a push-down gesture.
The old man confirmed that he could indeed see him, and his excitement calmed down a little. He looked around quickly, worried that others would know that he was the one who caused the sound accident.
But soon, the old man lowered his head in frustration. These people couldn't see him at all, so naturally they wouldn't blame him.
Ai Yu Xingguang Ye didn't provide a band, so Qiong Ren saved the step of joining the band. He didn't feel stage fright after he came on stage, and started singing while holding the microphone.
"Ask Qinhuai Old Richuangliao."
Mr. Su heard the lyrics clearly, and was so angry that his beard was about to fly.
Good Kunqu opera, good words, how have they been changed?
After the child's rehearsal is over, he must talk about it.
Zhou Mi was amazed when he heard it, he had also heard the original song, Qiong Ren's version and the original version are of course not the same thing.
But his adaptation is not as frivolous as some songs that use traditional opera as a gimmick. It sounds sad and mournful. The pronunciation is obviously learned from Jinling dialect, and the dialect singing does sound more charming.
He listened to the song deeply, as if he had also seen the red leaves and bright yellow flowers of Jinling in the old days, and butterflies shuttled among them.Trees, flowers and birds are thriving, but it makes the world more lonely.
Old Su's angry expression also gradually faded, revealing a sad look.
Who knows better than the dead, what is right and wrong?
After death, everything will naturally rest.
Although Rong Zhen and Li Kui organized a [-]th birthday celebration for him, how many people in the audience will really know him by then?
Even the students who talked about the interesting things he had with Mr. Su on stage may not really miss him in their hearts.
His wife left early, his children were abroad, and he was often accompanied by students in his later years, so he didn't feel that his later years were bleak.
But I didn't expect that before death, there were many people in the market, and after death, not to mention burning paper and burning incense, not many people even went to the tomb to offer flowers.Only then did I know that those people wanted the name of Su Shi's disciples, and they wanted to develop their contacts through him.
Having lived for nearly a century, but still can't even see through this little trick, it's like living in vain.
Originally, he thought that although Wang Yaoqing was mediocre in talent, he was hard-working and down-to-earth, so he took special care of this student.
But when he died, Wang Yaoqing stole and sold the books and films he treasured during his lifetime, and the precious materials were regarded as waste paper by the nanny and weighed for price.
The things collected in a lifetime, just because they died too hastily, the final fate is one yuan per catty, and the collectors of waste paper still think that the paper is too old, and want to lower the price to [-] cents.
Every time he thinks about it, Su Huaizhang feels like a knife is twisting in his heart.
Zhou Mi is still young and doesn't have the same feelings as Su Lao, but he can't help but think of his high-spirited self in the past. At that time, he only thought that he could leave a name in film history.
Later, he encountered setbacks again and again, the filming was extremely unsatisfactory, the investors regretted withdrawing their capital, and the actors ran away. He was working hard for his film every day, but there were always new problems waiting for him.
Either question his shooting techniques, or say that the story is not attractive enough, or that the actors are not famous enough, or say that horror films also need to have a big IP, and force him to create a typical image like Sadako.
After being rejected a lot, he inevitably became really puzzled, whether my film is really rubbish, maybe I am really a terrible director, and the past success is just luck.
Li Kui and Rong Zhen wanted to help him, but he no longer had confidence.
His wife, Yu Wei, was involved in a car accident after she became pregnant.She has always supported his dream, but he cannot repay his wife's dedication with success.
Although the current job has nothing to do with the director, but the job is stable, so that my wife can not worry about the child's milk powder diapers.
Comparing the past and the present, Zhou Mi is both guilty and sad.
In order to fit the artistic conception, Qiong Ren deliberately changed his singing, making his voice mellow with a bit of abrupt hoarseness, as if the singer could hardly contain his own sadness.
This point was not perfect, but Zhou Mi and Mr. Su's hearts tightened at the same time. They were worried that Qiong Ren's singing would be interrupted because of being too full of emotions, and because of the hoarseness, the sadness in their hearts suddenly burst out.
"The autumn water is long, the sky is too few people, the deserted sunset, there is only a tree and willow bending over."
The prosperity of the past no longer exists, the bleak scene, the bleak people's hearts, the deserted is not only the sunset, but also the people who see the sunset.
This desolation coincided with Mr. Su's state of mind, and he unknowingly shed two turbid tears.This kid sings very well, very well.
Every word and sentence sang to the heart of this old man.
Zhou Mi's eyes were red, he raised his head, hoping to stop the tears from falling with this movement.
The accompaniment fell, and Qiong Ren sang the last two lines again. When singing a cappella, it became more sad and moving, and the ending sound gradually lowered, trembling the hearts of the audience.
After the song was sung, Qiong Ren stood on the stage for a while, covering his eyes with his hands.
After the moisture in his eyes dried up, he put down his hands and bowed to the audience, his voice still a little astringent: "I've finished the rehearsal, thank you everyone."
No one in the audience applauded, they were like statues, silently shedding tears.
Zhou Mi and Mr. Su followed Qiong Ren back to his lounge.
As soon as he entered the door, Qiong Ren immediately asked: "Director Zhou, to be honest, I am very interested in your movie, do you want to invest?"
Feeling sad and frustrated, Zhou Mi, who was about to have a sad conversation with Qiong Ren, couldn't turn around all of a sudden, "What did you say?"
Mr. Su was very excited: "You have a good eye, and Xiao Zhou's things are especially important. It's hard to say whether they will make money or not, but the quality is guaranteed."
It's not that Qiong Ren suddenly had a heart attack. His underworld video website is currently operating well. Li Kui's special edited version of "Spiritual 101" is also launched in the underworld, and the click rate is extremely high.
The huge ghost traffic made his simple little website unbearable, and it collapsed eighteen times in one day, comparable to the green Jinjiang in the underworld.
HBL2003 has urgently hired more domestic computers and rented more servers, so that Xiaopo's website can barely stabilize.
In recent days, the number of clicks on "Spirit 101" has far exceeded the total number of previously purchased documentaries.
Now the situation is obvious, the local government video network is indeed very popular, the masses love it, and it also has economic prospects.
He could have continued to buy Yangshi's variety shows and film and television works from Aikuxun, but Qiong Ren felt that in addition to being good-looking, a work must take root in the masses in order to have long-term vitality.
No matter how good the story of Yang Shi is, it is about people, not ghosts.Residents of the underworld should also have their own movies and TV shows.
"If our cooperation goes well, I may not only invest in your movie, but also invite you to make other themes," Qiong Ren said, "Just one thing, are you afraid of ghosts?"
Zhou Mi didn't know the lethality of these words at the moment, so he shook his little head innocently.
"Old Su, he is not afraid of ghosts, do you have anything to say?"
Qiong Ren spoke to the empty place.
The agent turned pale in shock: "What are you doing? Can you talk about things like hell?"
Zhou Mi said just now that he wasn't afraid, because he didn't believe in ghosts at all, but when he heard what his manager said, his heart suddenly became more subtle.
Mr. Su, is that his teacher Su Huaizhang?
Qiong Ren continued to talk to the air: "Why don't you say something that can prove your identity."
Zhou Mi saw Qiong Ren's listening intently and nodded his head from time to time, suddenly remembering how Qiong Ren became popular, he trembled a little, but he felt a little anticipation.
"Mr. Su said, you used to go to his house to have a meal. One time, his old friend gave him a box of mushrooms brought in by air. When you went to make a meal again, you took it to fried rice and saw the villain that night. Poor Mr. Su is getting old and has to take care of you, you idiot."
The more Zhou Mi listened, the more stupefied he became, Qiong Ren was able to say this...
When Mr. Su received the mushrooms, he was confused and forgot the power of wild mushrooms in Nanzhao. When he saw him come to eat, he specifically asked him to use mushrooms to fry rice, which must be delicious.
He was half-starved, so he ate casually stir-fried, thinking that what Mr. Su bought must be the artificial bacteria from the supermarket, there would be no problem.
After being poisoned, he thought it was because he had stayed up too much late at night, and finally got out of his mind, so he saw a row of villains dancing hand in hand on the ceiling.
This incident fully demonstrated how unreliable the teacher and student were. Both of them were very guilty and made an appointment not to tell others about such stupid things.
Zhou Mi burst into tears: "Teacher, are you really here?"
Elder Su also wiped away tears frequently: "Hey, it's all fate."
Qiong Ren waited for the two people to calm down a little, and then said: "It's like this. Your movie lacks post-processing and special effects, and I happen to have an advantage in this regard."
Zhou Mi immediately looked at Qiong Ren expectantly: "Do you have a post-production company?"
The names have changed.
"No," Qiong Ren shook his head, "I'm very different from ordinary investors. Ordinary investors can give you money and resources. As for me, I don't have a lot of money, and I don't have many connections in Yangjian."
Zhou Mi: "Then..."
He noticed that Qiong Ren's words "on this side of the Yangjian" imply that there are connections in the underworld?
But isn't that too fantastical?
Qiong Ren: "It's like this. I really don't have the money to invest in you for fake special effects, but we can do it for real."
Zhou Mi: "Really..."
"People have watched too many ordinary ghost movies," Qiong Ren said. "If you want to make a movie, you should make a real ghost movie. It's really haunted, there are real ghosts, real ghosts star in it, and after it's released, it's for real ghosts to watch, of course. We will not spare the audience in Yangjian, what do you think?
"I can even invite real ghost musicians to write movie soundtracks for you, and you just say, is it the only one in the world."
Zhou Mi was still trying to digest the amount of information in Qiong Ren's words, but Mr. Su became excited.
Why did he not go to reincarnation after death, but became a lonely ghost wandering around? Was it because an old ghost who died early told him that the underworld was very boring, not only had to go to work every day like the world, but also had no There are so many cultural activities in the world.
He loves movies and art, that's why he wanders in this world.
"Xiao Qiong, if I can really make movies, can I do it too?"
He stopped making movies in his later years, on the one hand because he concentrated on teaching, and on the other hand because he was old and his physical strength really couldn't keep up.
Qiong Ren nodded: "Of course, as long as you want, you can join my studio in the underworld, and shoot some short stories to test the water first. Haven't you made ink-and-wash animated films before? If you want to draw materials from traditional Chinese paintings If so, we have a lot of underworld masters, Wu Daozi and Zhou Fang haven't been reincarnated yet."
Su Huaizhang's heart is surging!
He didn't expect that there would be such a benefit in death. He could discuss the film style with the painter thousands of years ago. As long as he thought about it, he felt that he was about to pass out with happiness.
"However, you have to go through the reincarnation process in the underworld first, and become a decent citizen of the underworld before you can work in my studio. If you figure it out, I can notify the underworld to pick you up."
Su Huaizhang repeatedly nodded and said yes, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Qiong Ren: "Xiao Qiong, tell Zhou Mi for me that he has been unlucky for the past few years. I didn't believe in gods and ghosts when I was alive. Only when I fell into a ghost did I realize that my former self was too narrow.
"I've been visiting him from time to time over the years, and I think he seems to have been murdered."
Qiong Ren frowned, and asked Zhou Mi: "Old Su said that you have been unlucky these past few years, can you..."
His pupils shrank.
Unlucky enough, the highly anticipated up-and-coming director suddenly fell silent, and then he couldn't turn himself around, and had to do other jobs in order to make ends meet.
Why is this experience so familiar?
Isn't he exactly the same as himself a few months ago?
The author has something to say: the tunes mentioned in this article are placed below.
[Zhe Gui Ling] Ask Qinhuai in the old sun window hut, the torn paper faces the wind, the broken sill meets the tide, the eyes are broken and the soul disappears.Fen Dai back then, where was Shengxiao?The light boats are not noisy at Duanyang, and the wine flag is heavy nine boring.White birds are fluttering, green water is surging, tender yellow flowers are flying, and new red leaves are not seen by anyone.
[Gu Meijiu] Do you remember crossing the Qingxi Banli Bridge, there is no old red board.The autumn water is long and there are too few people in the sky, and the deserted sunset leaves a tree and willow bent over.
[Leaving the pavilion with a rest finger] I have seen the jade palace in Jinling cry at dawn, and the flowers in the Qinhuai waterside pavilion bloom early, who knew it would be easy to melt away!Seeing him getting up from Zhulou, seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse!This pile of moss and green tiles, I once slept in the wind, and watched the rise and fall of 50 years.The bird clothes alley is not surnamed Wang, the ghosts of Mochou Lake cry at night, and the owls live on the Phoenix Terrace.The dream of the remnant mountain is the most real, and the old environment is hard to lose. If you don't believe this map, it will be changed!Compose a set of "Sad Jiangnan", and sing it sadly until you grow old.
You should have seen both Wu Daozi and Zhou Fang in art textbooks. I remember that the former contained the "Picture of Sending the Son of the Heavenly King" in the textbook, and the latter contained the "Picture of Lady with Hairpin Flowers" in the textbook.
