I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 477.

Lao Xu likes to drink Moutai, he can swallow it, and he can sip it.

I especially like tiger sips.

After taking a sip of wine, "Zi Liu" always wiped his mouth habitually, as if he was stroking his beard.

Unfortunately...he's a bit fat.

You can't see any tiger power on your body, but you have a sense of sight of a wild boar.

But his wine is good.

The small wine cups are always one bite at a time, and they never hit each other.

Together with Yang Dalin, when the three of them drank a catty of Moutai, the peanuts were not half finished.

It is conceivable that this speed is fast.

And he made up his mind to read this novel called "Master" after Lao Xu left.

Especially Takeshi Kitano's acting skills.

"..."

These things are just a vague impression in his mind at present, and he has not even thought about the real script story.

"That's gone."

"Okay, Brother Xu."

After the two left, there was no one in the yard.

There was also a hint of helplessness on his face:
"In fact, since I had this idea, I have always known that this is a difficult point. To put it bluntly... Even if it is produced at a small cost, it will cost several million? But when I think of using other people's money to do things Son, I lost it myself, and I don't feel sorry for it. But the problem is... I really want to leave something... To be honest, Xiao Xu, you know that there is one thing I am most dissatisfied with in this "Master" novel. Where is the place?"

No more, no less, just right.

Obviously, Xu Haofeng also understood what Xu Xin meant.

If you are in a hurry when you leave, you don't even need to say thank you, but you will get a good wish of "Student, take the exam well".

But Wang Jiawei gave him the feeling that it was like a PPT made by employees who worked hard all night and overtime. He directly denied it at a glance, but he didn't tell you what was wrong, but just asked you to do it again.

At this juncture, even the most unqualified drivers are unwilling to use their horns to disturb those students who are studying hard and waiting to change their destiny.

It's a pity that Xu Xin doesn't plan to go to Wang Jiawei's crew recently.

"Put it down. I asked you for a drink today, just to chat, not to ask you for investment sponsorship. If you say that, how can I drink this wine?"

He understood Lao Xu's mind.

On the contrary, it seems to be divided.

And Yang Dalin brought out a basin from the bathroom.

"Hey, okay, okay, uncle, it's okay, we'll make it ourselves after we finish drinking."

While Xu Haofeng was talking, he asked curiously:

Xu Haofeng nodded:

During this period, we talked about "The Grandmaster".

As if that boy was just yesterday.

"By the way, you haven't changed your mind yet?"

In Kung Fu movies, let's not discuss these things for the time being.It also has an essential requirement, that is, "kungfu must be played well."

Upon hearing this, Xu Haofeng asked curiously:
"What subject?"

Because of the hot weather, he simply took off the plaid shirt outside.

"why?"

"That's true……"

It was placed in front of Xu Xin.

Once this mood comes out...

Xu Xin also felt that such activities are quite meaningful.

Can't help but ask:
"That can be considered a weapon, right?"

Yes, actors and directors are working affiliations.

Although Xiao Xu's way of voting for himself after making the decision was quite righteous, which moved him wholeheartedly.

Some are close to me, and I give them directly.

Xu Haofeng smiled proudly:
"It takes a lot of work and materials. First of all, the wooden handle needs to be made a little bit, and the second is the method of roasting the wicker. Before roasting, a special kind of water needs to be soaked, and the temperature is also very particular... Now that I think about it, one There are more than a dozen processes for small crossbows. The old man only makes one at most in a day.

"That's enough to hurt and love."

Xu Xin shook his head:

Taking a breath of alcohol, he said to Xu Xin:

This is the end of the conversation today.

Without this river, 90.00% of the people in the palace of art would starve to death.

The weather is a bit hot, but with a fan blowing, wearing a vest and shorts, chatting in this place, there is really a sense of nostalgia for childhood.

"..."

One, do I have money?
Two, am I short of money?

After lighting the cigarette, Old Xu said:
"So I'm going to be a director myself."

It seems that when many people mention "Summer of Kikujiro", they will think of the famous summer song by Joe Hisaishi.

"Yes. No wedding, no change fee, no change. Isn't this Yanjing's rule?"

"Anyway, you see, if you want to shoot this script, I will vote. It doesn't matter what the box office, investment, or return are. Your concept is right. The important thing is to leave something behind so that everyone can see the real kung fu. .Even if...it's not pretty."

Xu Haofeng was taken aback.

If it is true, everyone will come to a scene with real knives and guns, and a war scene will not kill thousands of people?

Movies have gradually evolved from a pastime at the beginning to an art.

"..."

Indeed, although usually he always sees his wife playing tricks there.

"After understanding the contradictions and complexities of the old man, I wanted to write a story about these. In the book, I will discuss whether it is the fault of those masters who don't teach things, or... After they realized that martial arts is no longer suitable After that era, should I pass on my own confusion to the next generation..."

Xu Xin thought he was talking about the environment.

This is his usual point of view.

"But the old couple are too kind to you..."

Just passed another cigarette.

"I know."

Xu Haofeng shook his head.

"all."

As soon as Xu Xin heard the meaning, he related to the topic they were talking about just now, and asked directly;

Moutai drank another half bottle.

"Because it's all fake."

"Wang... what kind of fish?"

When Yang Mi returned home, he was already fast asleep under the quilt in the small room in the second bedroom.

"Then it's not easy? If you want to find investment, just ask me. I'll invest for you."

Xu Xin, who didn't even know why he came up with such a sentence, scratched his head:

Xu Haofeng responded:
"The kung fu produced by it may not be good-looking, and may not be acceptable to many kung fu movie lovers. But... just like the old man did to me. You can ignore it, but at least you must leave something on the "shape". Let After seeing it, everyone realized: Oh? It turns out that the real kung fu is like this... I also tell everyone that martial arts is not just a show of fists and legs. In real fighting, it is kung fu of fighting people desperately."

It's not that I'm shocked, but I don't know what to say.

For kung fu movies, the fact that "the fight doesn't look good" alone is enough to be sentenced to death.

Hearing her husband's explanation, Yang Mi nodded:

But when Xu Xin heard this, he was a little curious:

It exudes comfort from the inside out.

He doesn't have any prejudice against Director Wang, but he just doesn't like this kind of... Treating actors like animals.

Speaking of this, he raised his wine glass and touched Xu Xin.

"……what?"

"what?"

"..."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Xu Xin didn't force him, but made another promise with the help of Jiu Jin:

"Ugh……"

Xu Haofeng vividly described his childhood anecdotes:
"Aim at the pile of sparrows, within twenty paces, one at a time."

As for what you want to put in the story, let those viewers who like this movie after watching it go and taste it slowly.

"...Because there is no wedding?"

"Give."

So when Lao Xu talked about "The Great Master", he listened more from the side, and then evaluated his wife's status.

After the art exam, on the afternoon of June 6th, Xu Xin received a call from Yu Zhen:

Then we work together to figure out how to find a solution.

Because he will no longer be on the set of "The Grandmaster", he also plans to get up early in the morning these two days and act as a driver for the students.

"Ah."

People are open and aboveboard, and I can't hide my little thoughts.

"Forget it. Why don't you count? They can penetrate armor. If you replace them with iron needles, they will be armor-penetrating nails."

...After I gained weight, the old man told me the most: You have to learn to be patient when you are fat.Don't be impulsive, be patient..."

In Xu Xin's case... although he doesn't think the other party is a failure, he can't say he likes her.

But looking back suddenly, it is a dreamy bubble that looks like flowers in the fog.

"Uh……"

If you meet a black fan, don't just shout one by one.What if I go to the examination room and fail to pass the exam, what should I do if I put the blame on Xu Gou?
Forget it, forget it, you can't provoke it.

In this dynasty, the feelings and tenderness of the Yanhuang people all over the world are fully revealed.

But after he came back, every time he thought about it, he always felt that he really couldn't appreciate this...obvious Xiangjiang-style director.

off the street.

It's completely different from the kind of movies and TV shows you know, where two heroes fly up and down, wishing to fight for [-] rounds.

Part-time screenwriter.

In Chikan Ancient Town in summer, under the layout of Sishuiguitang, the sounds of insects can be heard from the various flowers and plants bought in the southeast corner of the yard.

"Urban emotion. What? Interested?"

After glancing at Xu Xin, he immediately rolled his eyes:

"But...the older I get now, the less I like the current kung fu movies. Every time I watch the family members, Yuan Jiaban and others playing tricks full of loopholes, I get goosebumps all over... ...When I can understand the mentality of the old man when he taught me these things, I can't see it anymore."

"The sauce is in the pot, and the noodles are on the chopping board. You can eat them as you like. We also went out."

"where?"

Xu Xin knew that Lao Xu's wife was a doctor.

He couldn't get in the way when he added the topic of son-in-law and friends, so he said to roll noodles for Lao Xu.

It includes fighting with people since I was a child. Do you know what the second grandpa said to me?Said: "You must never fight back. If someone hits you, run away. If it doesn't work, tell the teacher, or go to your parents! If you really want to fight back, don't punch him, just kick his leg, and don't touch him above the stomach. bump.

"Because I'm afraid that I'll fall in love... It's not right. Now that I think about it, it should be because I'm afraid that I'll dislike it. I like the beautiful punches and legs of other martial arts teams, but I dislike the ones taught by the old man... It doesn't look beautiful at all. , but how to hit people how to have something.

"Yang Mi and I didn't change it. Although we talked about it in private, it was "our father, our mother". But on the surface, we still call uncle and aunt."

When you watch a movie, what matters is not what the director expresses.

When Lao Xu heard that Liubiju's yellow sauce was boiled at home, his mouth watered and he kept nodding.

"Okay... Mengmeng, you also follow your sister, mainly to watch over the children."

Yang Mi, who was planning to take her baby out for a walk, just walked out the door, and was stunned when she heard this:

With a cigarette in between, Xu Haofeng said for no reason, with a sense of sadness in his tone:

"Old Xu, have you thought about it? Now there is no real kung fu. Moreover, the presentation of the screen is itself an aesthetic feast created by filmmakers for the audience."

"what……?"

Then, Xu Xin didn't need to ask, he sighed with eyes full of regret:

The beauty of the picture is definitely a very important part.

Rather...

For a director who can't even shoot a single story well, it's better to go back and practice the basic skills first.

Obviously homesick.

While chatting, Lao Xu said:

Sweating, sober up quickly.

"No."

These vehicles with green ribbons are all vehicles that unconditionally send candidates to school.

"……Who?"

Throw a towel into the washbasin and throw a handful of water on it.

In the next two days, the entire Chikan, or people across the country are paying attention to a major event.

In Xu Xin's speechless, he pointed to his brain:

Xu Haofeng nodded, took a towel and wiped it... I don't know if it was sweat or other faces.

There was half a basin of water in the basin, and some ice cubes were still floating on the surface of the water.

If students who are going to take the college entrance examination are late due to some accidents, they can directly stop these private cars like taxis and send them to the examination room.

Xu Haofeng was dumbfounded again:

No matter how you think about it, it's a... very happy thing.

But the road is much quieter, which is true.

Shoot a good story first.

"Xu Xin, that student named Nazha did very well. I went to the examination room to check it out. Even if you don't say hello, her professional level is enough to come in. Her appearance also surprised several assessment teachers. Now It depends on the cultural class. As long as the cultural class meets the standards, then it can be accepted."

There is no need for the master and apprentice to chat so much.

There are many elements that make up the beauty of the picture, such as various scenery, portraits, light, etc...

The 37-year-old "young man" couldn't hide his disappointment.

I also understand that he wants to leave to this generation the traces of the "Second Mister", "Li Shuwen", and "Gong Monkey" in the Republic of China that are close to the real and can be used as evidence and reference for future generations.

Instead, first look at what the story is about.

"Haha~"

But there is a specialization in the art industry, even if he wants to make movies, he must be good at making movies.Such as martial arts kung fu movies.

"Want to shoot some "real kung fu"?"

That kind of facial paralysis acting skills and clumsy lines, combined with some absurd plots, will make you doubt life.

"..."

"Tell me."

"I'm actually...not very satisfied with the current kung fu movies."

In the final analysis, my heart is "meng new", and I haven't entered the industry yet, so I want to hang and beat the five whites of the Central Plains.

"Correct."

Xu Xin handed over a cigarette.

Can't get it, can't get it.

Nothing about cinema should escape the absolute principle of storytelling.

When Xu Xin picked it up, it was icy cold.

Xu Haofeng nodded and admitted generously.

What's more, he didn't know where the script was.

"……what?"

The hero is late, the beauty is white.

What's more, he once dreamed that he drank and beat people into vegetative states...

"Yes... I don't know how to do it myself. When I was young, I grew up with my second grandfather. At that time, my parents were at work, and the old man led me. He can spoil me. If you say eat a candy, drink a saccharine water, or What is it for? I didn’t say anything. Have you ever seen that kind of crossbow when you were young?”

Normally, when Xu Xin, who was in a sane state, heard this, he might smile and comfort him with a joke like "Go back and eat more Liuwei Dihuang Wan, and you'll have everything."

"The pistol you got with disposable chopsticks?"

Xu Xin laughed, with a relaxed tone:

From the beginning to the end, he never came to solicit investment ideas.

Two days of college entrance examination.

Then I was generous when I was young, and no one else knew it. When I took it out, other people's children really pushed me for it.Kiss me some ass and I'll play for them.

His job is to be a writer.

But if you watch Takeshi Kitano's movie because of this song, you will find that its initial impression is a very weird road movie.

In all fairness, as a director...he disagrees with Lao Xu's idea.

But now, it seems that he is still a family of doctors.

"Uh……"

Xu Xinxin said, isn't this nonsense?

Su Meng responded and went out with Sun Ting and Yang Mi.

……

"..."

But now I'm drinking.

But the problem is...he really can't do that.

But now... a person who is not a director, says in front of himself that he wants to make a "not very good-looking"...or, from the very beginning, it violates the core concept of the driving force of kung fu movies, and he will definitely sneer.

"The market is the hard part, isn't it?"

When people drink alcohol, they tend to be impulsive.

"Hey, okay, Teacher Yu, thank you."

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

Xu Haofeng nodded, with emotion still on his face:

Soon, Yang Dalin and his wife also went out to play horse cranes.

"I want to shoot..."

"Well, it's okay, you are busy, I hung up."

but……

Three, will Yang Mi be angry if I spend money?
These three questions didn't even cross his mind.

But this kind of movie that requires careful attention usually explodes at the box office.

Xu Xin was speechless.

"...Is it because you are afraid that you will break someone?"

Only then did I express my wish that I had just born in the past two years.

Well hot.

But occasionally she uses a few tricks of real kung fu, which can be summed up in two words: awkward.

As far as industry practitioners are concerned, he believes that if a film is given some factors that are greater than the story at the beginning of creation, then the script will undoubtedly fail.

But Xu Haofeng waved his hand:
"I'm talking about your father-in-law and mother-in-law's attitude towards you... how is it similar to mine. My father-in-law doesn't drink, and I go to his place to eat every year, and it's like going to jail. When he talks about drinking, he has to babble. , what: alcohol enters the body, what enzymes, what ethanol or something like that..."

"Why can't you drink it? I, Wang Duoyu, voted for your movie."

"No, but there is only one thing. I am not allowed to play with people from the martial arts team. I am not even allowed to come to the side."

Can still smoke.

As soon as she left, Yang Chunling brought over two wet towels.

Don't discuss how the script is, and don't mention the storyline.

but……

In comfort, Xu Haofeng sighed:
"so good……"

"Hiss~poof."

Xu Xin didn't say anything.

"That's for sure. Real kung fu wins and loses between square inches. Just like UFC, two people attack and hide one by one. At first glance, it seems a bit boring, and even the preparation is still very long. But it only takes one punch or two to end the match. One kick... I'm leaving, I'll take the kids to the night market."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this topic."

Snapped!
Those who are slow will lie on the ground.

After finishing a bottle of wine, Yang Dalin had almost reached his limit.

"...Including "The Grandmaster"?"

"...?"

He explained with a smile:
"There is another movie, a friend's script, which is estimated to start in August and September."

I didn't feel anything when I was on the set.

He didn't know what others thought, but for him, he had to give Lao Xu a thumbs up.

"Oh... I'm not good at martial arts. In other people's eyes, it might be... I'm well-educated but not good at learning. But in fact, I can understand the mentality of the old man. It's not that he doesn't teach me... Of course, he is reluctant to beat me There must be. But most of the time, he himself is a very contradictory individual. If you teach these things to a child, what should he do if he breaks the person? And it’s useless to learn Kung Fu now. Wulin?"

"It's really old. If you're less than 40 years old, your memory won't work."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin did not notify Nazha directly, but sent Yang Mi a message:
"Teacher Yu called and said that Nazha is doing well. I don't care about this matter, you just watch."

"Old Xu said that real kung fu is not like in the movies."

He understood what Lao Xu meant.

So, before he could react rationally, his subconscious mind silently asked himself three questions.

"Ah."

Xu Haofeng responded:
"Including "The Grandmaster". Do you know why?"

"Correct."

Xu Xin smiled and said thanks.

"Yes. It's the same as when I was a child... But when Yanjing's renovation is completed, the environment should be better than this. That's the real quietness in the middle of the noise, and it's more comfortable than this."

After subconsciously giving the answer, looking at Lao Xu's melancholy appearance, he chuckled and said:

Very normal.

Xu Xinxin said why everyone likes to ask themselves what they want to do next...

College entrance examination.

It's okay if you're a normal fan.

"Xiao Xu, what are you going to do next?"

With a cold towel on his neck, he continued:
"In fact, I have watched kung fu movies since I was a child. Whether it is Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, or the kind made by any director... I can't really watch it."

And in fact, in the past two years, I have also planned to be a director myself.

"You want to put this idea into practice, it's very difficult."

Xu Xin was also taken aback:
"what?"

But thinking about what if he is recognized by the other party...

Meet people, meet.

Let him make an emotional scene?

"Old Xu, you... want to make a movie too?"

Now, Xu Xin gradually understood what Old Xu meant.

"You have to leave something for future generations."

Xu Haofeng quickly shook his head.

"Those martial arts rules... Before I started writing, I had a rough idea in my mind. But after I started writing, I found that a lot of things my second grandpa told me, some things I had seen and heard in the world, were clearly in my mind. I have heard it and thought about it. , I was still thinking about it a few years ago. But now I suddenly forgot... I can't remember..."

Walking on the street, Xu Xin can often see vehicles with green ribbons tied to the rear view mirror passing through the streets.

Yang Mi and Yang Chunling also finished eating, so they simply moved the dining table to the porch of the outbuilding of Sishuiguitang, leaving them to drink and chat slowly.

But after watching it slowly the second time, you will find that the look and feel is much better.

In addition, because of the hot weather, Xu Xin also sweated a lot.Under the influence of metabolism, he actually got drunk quite quickly today.

Then I turned around and said to the old man: I lost it.Do it again.The old man has never said that he is impatient, and he will definitely get me a new one the next day after he smiles... How about it, is it enough to pamper me?If I want the stars, I have to pick them off. "

"Ah."

It would not be an exaggeration for Xu Xin to say he was dumbfounded.

"No, that's all later. When I was young, I used willow branches. I roasted the willow branches on the fire, and they were very tough. Handle, the kind with the slides. Use a sharpened pick to rest on... whoosh!"

It is an existence that challenges values.

Because he knows that everyone will grow old.

Speaking of this, he waved his hand, the sigh in his eyes turned into loneliness:
"There is no martial arts anymore. Even if there were, those heroes in the martial arts might be living a life of poverty and unsustainable life. Therefore, he didn't dare, didn't want to, and was even more reluctant to teach me. But...these things , is something passed down from the ancestors, could it be possible to bring it all into the coffin? So, when he taught me, he always hid his hand. He taught the shape, but not the meaning. He taught the law but not the body..."

Yu Zhen hung up the phone.

Calculated by the two of them, each of them drank about six taels.

Lao Xu's drink came out of pleasure, and he returned with full enjoyment.

This is also one of the driving forces behind the development of Kung Fu movies to this day.

He handed over the lighter again and lit it for him.

As he spoke, he also made a circle:

"Because I will?"

There is no longer a young man.

"Real kung fu is not like that. Mimi should understand what I mean."

"Correct."

The city of steel and concrete is gone.

"... As you said just now, you Wang Duoyu voted for this movie. Who is Wang Duoyu?"

Gee.

If a person lives for decades, if he can leave something to this world.

Behind the art palace of movies, there are also rivers piled up with money.

Then there is the art test. (Note 1)

Flowers have reopening days.

He prefers the old man's kind of "you make mistakes, I will communicate with you."

Can no longer see, can not touch.

"This is the prototype of this "Master"?"

"I don't know either, so I just said something casually. But that's what it means. You can follow your own thinking. I'll vote for this script for you."

Occasionally, the swimming fish in the ground pond will turn over a splash of water, and the sound of ripples will make the whole summer come alive.

After posting, he pushed the two babies:

"Daddy is going to eat ice cream!"

Under the innocence of the two cute babies with big eyes, he uttered the most inhuman words:

"Father eat, you two watch, okay?"

(Note 1: Still the same sentence, don’t get entangled in the college entrance examination and art examination. Because I didn’t understand it before, but after being popularized by a reader in this chapter, I figured it out. But the problem is that the timeline has also passed. So I have no choice but to come by mistake.)
