Chapter 23 Boring and Depraved Days
After filming the movie, Jiang Quan's life became extremely leisurely, living a life of three points and one line every day, if expressed in a diary:
Monday: After being recommended by sister Yi, I met a group of very interesting people and learned how to play mahjong with this group of people.

Tuesday: Got it!Going to the table to play mahjong in person, losing nine out of ten games, it was miserable.
Wednesday: Play mahjong.

Thursday: Play mahjong.

Friday: Play mahjong.

Saturday: Jiang Quan, Jiang Quan, how can you be so depraved, you will never play mahjong tomorrow!

Sunday: Play mahjong.

In a high-end mahjong parlor in Yanjing, Jiang Quan was sitting in a box, playing mahjong with three other poker players in full swing.Of these three people, one is a middle-aged man with slightly bald hair and an overall appearance, the other is a slightly fat man with glasses who is in his prime, and the third is a handsome man with a good face and a bunch of red hair. older girls.

"It's all bearded!" The girl shouted happily.

"Xiao Yi is very lucky today, let's change positions, and let me share your luck." The man wearing glasses stared at the girl superstitiously, and proposed to change positions.The girl stood up without saying a word, changed seats with the man with eyes and sat opposite Jiang Quan.

"I'm very lucky. I've paid your admission fee today. I'm a little hungry." Song Zhiyi rang the bell and called the waiter. Without saying a word, the girl ordered four baskets of crab roe soup dumplings, four cups lemonade.The middle-aged man looked at the lemonade and subconsciously bared his teeth.

The mahjong hall visited by Jiang Quan is billed by the number of people per hour, and the fee standard is almost double that of mahjong halls of the same level. Compared with other small and medium-sized mahjong halls, it can be said that it is a high-consumption place.However, its luxurious decoration, elegant environment, and free food and beverage services, especially the absolute non-smoking regulations, still attract many poker players to become repeat customers of this store.

"Xiao Yi, pay attention to your words and deeds. You accidentally got carried away just now." The middle-aged man pointed out Song Zhiyi's slip of the tongue calmly.

"Haha, Uncle He, you are too serious. Didn't I just say something about my old lady. Even in front of my parents, I still say the same thing." Song Zhiyi said nonchalantly.

"What Lao He meant was, Xiao Yi, you haven't married yet, remember to pay attention to your personal image, or you will scare away your boyfriend and fiancé one day." The man with glasses said with a smile.

The girl slapped her hands heavily on the mahjong table: "Oh, Uncle Tai, don't talk about your boyfriend, it's a blind date. I'm so bored to death!"

The girl paused for a moment, and murmured brokenly.

"My mom, I'm only 29 years old. When my parents and brothers mentioned me, they were all on stimulants. They were always concerned about whether I had a boyfriend. They really thought that a boyfriend was something they could pick up on the street."

"Haha, it's not that Xiaoyi's criteria for choosing a mate are too high. If you insist on finding an unmarried man who is better off than you, has higher knowledge than you, and is more capable than you, then you are indeed looking for a needle in a haystack." Uncle Tai shook shook his head and said.

"I don't have so many qualifications, just look pleasing to the eye. Brother Jiang Quan, what do you think of your sister? I am very optimistic about you." The girl shifted her gaze to Jiang Quan, and there was a sense of aggression in her eyes. road.

"Sister, I only make friends, not girlfriends." Jiang Quan glanced at Song Zhiyi and said without changing his expression.

"Friends can also develop into girlfriends." Song Zhiyi said with a face of teasing.

"No matter how good your girlfriend is, you won't be able to become a friend." Jiang Quan said tit for tat.

"Do you have to be so pessimistic about feelings?"

"I just think that being alone for a lifetime is not a kind of romance."

"Brother, your view of feelings is so strange."

Both Jiang Quan and Song Zhiyi's eyes were extremely aggressive at the moment, trying to overwhelm each other in terms of momentum.

"That's enough for the two of you, what kind of eyes are there, and I don't mind scaring others!" Uncle He watched the two talking more and more seriously, and the eyes became unkind, and he directly raised his voice several times, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Jiang Quan, tell me about the direction of the movie you mentioned earlier." Uncle He also changed the subject by chance.

As soon as the other party asked him professional questions, Jiang Quan's eyes immediately returned to calm and said: "Professor He, do you still remember what I said about the future?"

"Future events cannot be predicted, but future trajectories can be predicted. Is this the sentence?" Professor He, also known as Uncle He, took the lead and asked directly.

"That's right, that's the sentence. The domestic film industry, to be precise, the inland film industry was a niche resource before this century. The two seniors are experienced people, so they should have an intuitive feeling?"

Uncle He and Uncle Tai nodded after hearing Jiang Quan's words.

Jiang Quan went on to say: "At that time, people's living standards were not high, and food and clothing were the first priority. But later, food and clothing were really solved, and many people had the idea of ​​life and entertainment. To give an example in the industry, in 2002 Later, Director Zhang's "Hero" was released, the cost was about 2 million, and the global box office was 14 billion, but the domestic box office only accounted for 2 million."

"At that time, it was almost the first time that many ordinary people really began to pay attention to commercial films, but few ordinary people actually went to the cinema. In 2006, "Crazy Stone" was released, and the final box office was 2300 million, but its cost was only 300 million .That year, people from all walks of life flocked to the cinema, just like this time.”

The other three looked thoughtful, Jiang Quan took a crab roe soup dumpling and put it in his mouth.

"Things in the world are always changing. Like this crab roe soup dumpling, it is advertised as the original Song Dynasty recipe. Don't be kidding. The Song Dynasty didn't have refined salt and monosodium glutamate. Even a stone would not be the same 1000 years ago. The current shape. This is especially true for the film and television industry, an industry that gathers countless manpower and resources. Now film and television are obviously profitable, and countless capitals will try to introduce themselves into this industry. I believe that there will be more and more big-investment movies in China soon.”

Song Zhiyi nodded and said, "That's right, there are already many large and medium-sized companies trying to get involved in the film and television industry."

Jiang Quan responded, "That's right, even sharks will pounce on them when they smell blood, let alone a living person. But, as I said, everything in the world is always changing. The film and television industry is changing, and so are the audiences of the industry." It's changing. Director Chen's "The Promise" has already shown a bad omen."

"With the emergence of more and more commercial giants, audiences will gradually become aesthetically fatigued. The blindly visual feast and all-star lineup will gradually lose their original vitality. By then, the core plot and acting skills of film and television will gradually become the majority The standard for the audience to judge the quality of a movie. Of course, one thing must be admitted. The investment of large resources does have its unique stability. But once the acting skills of the actors in the plot are not good, it will be like paper in front of the audience who are already aesthetically fatigued. A mushy tiger is vulnerable."

"What kind of expressions do you three have? Could it be that you have all invested in some big-budget movies?" Seeing the unsightly expressions of the three, Jiang Quan asked knowingly.
