Huayu, my wife, I support myself

"How about we go to the movies!"

Passing by a movie theater, Liu Shishi suggested that he wanted to go to the movies.

Of course Lu Chen would not refuse,

However, just when he came back from buying popcorn.

Liu Shishi has already chosen the movie to watch.

"search".

This is the No.13 feature film in Director Chen's career. The theme of the story is aimed at "human flesh search", and the background of the time is aimed at the current Huaguo.

It has been 10 years since his last reality film "With You".

"Search" invested more than 4000 million yuan, and the box office has exceeded 3 million yuan in nearly 6 weeks since its release.

Although it is not yet Director Chen's best result.

But to hear the approval of the audience, Director Chen is still "deeply gratified and satisfied".

"Why did you choose this one?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

"Why, you don't like it?" Liu Shishi asked back,
"This movie is a bit depressing. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it. Why don't you change to another one."

"No, just watch this one."

"Okay." Although Lu Chen was a little worried about her, he still didn't disagree with Liu Shishi on this.

After watching the movie "The Search".

Lu Chen couldn't be more impressed, these powerful directors all have two talents.

"This should be the best Chinese film so far this year."

After reading it, Liu Shishi also lamented,
The movie "Search" is a satire and a reminder of the current network and media.

"Let's not comment on the performances of the big names in the film for the time being. From the selection and editing of the script, I think it is much better than the so-called "Wudang" and "Four Famous Catchers". Of course, this is not a level and a There is almost no comparison for movies of this genre." Liu Shishi said lightly.

After a pause, Liu Shishi continued to add: "However, I think it can be better."

Lu Chen didn't pay much attention to Liu Shishi's words before.

But the last sentence immediately aroused Lu Chen's interest.

"How?" Lu Chen was really curious.

""Search" is a good movie. First of all, its subject matter. It is a rare film among urban themes that closely follows the social reality and directly faces the moral dilemma of contemporary people."

Of course, that may have been its original intention.

Based on this original intention, it is respectable.

"It's just that I always feel that it's almost meaningless. Judging from the film and the degree of completion of the problem that this story wants to tell and deal with, it seems that it has not done it."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was really surprised.

It seems that this time.

My daughter-in-law has learned a lot, and gradually she has the meaning of a producer.

"The name of the film is "Search". Judging from the story, it seems to include the "search" conducted by journalists in order to obtain news materials and dig deep into news clues, as well as the "human flesh search" on the Internet.

But judging from Sanjian's publicity focus on the Internet and the few words of the main creator, I think we should focus more on the latter, that is, "human flesh search". "

Lu Chen also nodded slightly.

Regarding this point, Lu Chen's thinking is quite different from Liu Shishi's.

In terms of the timeliness and topicality of such an urban theme movie, the latter undoubtedly has more significance for expression and discussion.

That is to say, this film should pay attention to the point of "human flesh search".

Unfortunately, Director Chen chose to run in the opposite direction.

the reason is simple.

Nowadays, human flesh search has almost become a routine function on the Internet, which is used by people all the time, and one or two representative incidents will break out from time to time.

As journalists, that is, journalists' "search" for news is not a new topic or phenomenon.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that there must be room for discussion on new topics and new phenomena, but that the “search” by journalists may be more professional than the human flesh search by netizens, and as a result, fewer people may be involved.

Therefore, "Human Flesh Search" should become a major selling point of this film.

But unfortunately, it may be that Director Chen is not courageous enough,

Or maybe the sequelae of "The Promise" are still there.

The entire film that led to this film still revolves around the "television media" as a traditional media.

It was accidentally discovered by a TV trainee reporter, driven by the "news ambition" of a mature reporter, step by step to an unmanageable situation.

It explores the manipulation of public opinion by journalists, media organizations and how they are manipulated.

As for the network, at most there will be a "Taiwan-network linkage".

The news in the station is sent to the Internet, and the Internet uses traditional news channels such as portal websites to release news to create public opinion.

The "weapons" of human flesh search on forums, Weibo, and social networking sites such as "Renren" and "Kaixin.com" are rarely shown, and they have not fully entered the narrative in the end.

As a representative of traditional media, Chen Ruoxi has a strong driving force for the plot.

In the face of such power, there is little room for "self-media", so a series of new forms of information dissemination channels and methods have been covered up.

"By the way, what do you think of Sister Yuanyuan's acting skills?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

Before the audition for "The Pianist", Lu Chen also invited Gao Yuanyuan.

It's just that people compare with others.

It's really not even a star.

"I'm so blessed."

For Gao Yuanyuan, acting skills are second to none in this movie.

Simply put, it doesn't matter if your acting skills are not good.

When she stands there, she is beautiful. When she dies, she destroys the beautiful things for others to see, which is a tragedy.

Ye Lanqiu, young, cold and glamorous, is the first secretary of the board of directors of Situo Company. With such a character setting, there are bound to be ambiguous speculations about whether there is a peach blossom pink between her and the president.

When Ye Lanqiu appeared in the hospital beautifully, she never expected that she would be cursed by the advanced stage of lymphoma, and her mind was lost for a while. She wore sunglasses and looked at the scenery outside the window helplessly, her heart was filled with helplessness and pain .

An old man stepped into the car, a woman stood and spoke, the voice swept the entire car, and Ye Lanqiu entered the center of the stage.

She looked out the window in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

But her indifference came under the cameras of the media, and the woman's yelling brought back Ye Lanqiu's helpless heart. She looked around numbly, mocking the arrangement of fate.

A piece of news, netizens saw the target of the crusade, and the discussion fermented for days.

If the story ends like this, maybe there is something missing, so the male protagonist Yang Shoucheng appeared, and in the last seven days of her life, she met again by coincidence.

She became an employer, he became a laborer, she paid him a high salary, and he just paid off his debts.

Seven days of love, the interpretation of moving feelings.

Except what my wife said.

Actually, there is one more point.

That is, "Search" pursues ingenious, butterfly-effect plot construction too much, which makes the film wonderful and beautiful, but also hurts the theme expression.

It used a conspiracy to make Chen Ruoxi collapse. This conspiracy does not belong to the level of the media or the level of information dissemination, that is, the media people are not injured by the media, but by the external force of a secular conspiracy.

This is also the shortcoming of this film.

Because such a design shifts the focus of narrative, the focus of conflict.

"This should have been a better movie."

"Yes."

Lu Chen also sighed for a while.

As for what the two lamented, it is estimated that only two of them knew.

leave the cinema,
Although the raindrops outside were a lot smaller, it still didn't stop.

back home.

An Akita dog who just opened the door can't wait to run over,

Ask for a hug.

Moaning, probably blaming Liu Shishi for leaving him alone at home.

A typical one who values ​​sex over friends.

"By the way, is it blaming us?"

This not-so-big dog was raised by his wife when he was recording "Dear Inn".

Now the recording of the variety show is over.

Liu Shishi didn't intend to give him to the program crew to raise him, but decided to raise it himself.

"should be……"

Saying that, the two looked at each other directly, and couldn't help laughing,
Lu Chen knelt down next to the dog and patted its head: "Your mother will cook something delicious for you later! Don't be angry."

"Woo..." The dog shook its head.

Said no.

A good meal can't soothe my wounded heart.

"Add another chicken leg for you."

"Woooooooo (talking about it)..."

Seeing the dog that was no longer making trouble, Liu Shishi couldn't help smiling.

That's why she wants to have this dog,

Too human,

Liu Shishi vaguely remembered it very clearly, it was the day when the recording ended.

Xiao Jin seemed to have a premonition of something.

Hard to let go of him.

Both eyes were tearful, which directly moved me to feel compassion.

After negotiating the terms, the dog whimpered and stuck out its tongue to lick Lu Chen's hand.

Then he ran to Liu Shishi's side.

Two eyes stared blankly at her.

"Don't worry, I'll add chicken legs to you later." As he spoke, Liu Shishi reached out and rubbed Xiaojin's head.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that Xiao Jin is so smart that he can understand what we say."

"It's really spiritual."

"Also, why do I always feel that it is closer to you? It is obvious that we entered the door together, but he wagged his tail at you first? It is obvious that I brought it back, okay?" Liu Shishi looked displeased. Angry, said with some taste.

Lu Chen said: "If you like me, isn't that up to you?"

The sudden earthy love story,

Liu Shishi was almost overwhelmed, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

Although Lu Chen didn't hate dogs very much, he didn't like them very much either.

However, Xiao Jin's arrival still brought a lot of anger to their small family.

for the rest of the time.

Lu Chen went to the light and shadow special effects company to participate in the editing of "Fast and Furious 1" step by step every day.

Lu Chen was fooled by the other party.

Dai Lei and Zhou Ling have been turned around by Lu Chen, and they are not as rigid as before.

However, Lu Chen still had to stare.

Otherwise, it is easy to go astray again.

And when the time came to mid-September, the preparations for "The Pianist" were officially completed.

"The Pianist" has also officially ushered in filming!
Compared with the big scene of "Fast and Furious 1", the difficulty of shooting "The Pianist" is relatively simple.

Unlike before.

This time, Lu Chen gave more time to the actors, allowing them to develop themselves.

He is only in charge of telling the play, shouting "start" or "end."

There was indeed nothing worthy of Lu Chen's attention in the early stage of filming.

He just needs to be in charge of the crew and let Wu Ying arrange the shooting.

The main task in the early stage is the running-in between the actors and the crew.

After running in.

Only then did the official effort begin.

However, with the filming on track,

What Lu Chen didn't expect was that Jay Chou actually contacted him.

As for Jay Chou wanting to come,

Of course, Lu Chen would not refuse, and directly provided Jay Chou with the address of the crew.

……

Jay Chou didn't hesitate either,
Take the car directly to the address provided by Lu Chen.

Driving the car was a woman wearing sunglasses.

This woman was about 40 years old, and she was just opening the mouth to say: "What happened last time just let him go?"

Director Zhou said: "Then what should we do? Besides, they didn't talk nonsense."

The big manager of Jay Chou also felt helpless for a while: "Well, let's say, Director Lu is your fan, do you think it's true or not?"

Jay Chou nodded.

Think about it too.

Lu Chen really didn't have any reason to touch porcelain with him.

Jay Chou's manager sighed: "The other party is younger than you, and he is also a genius in composing lyrics and music. Compared with you, he doesn't seem to be much worse. Why did he ask you to cooperate?"

Jay Chou thought for a while, then shook his head lightly,
He is not very clear.

He has heard many songs written by Lu Chen, and it can be said that they have different styles.

Of course, there are highs and lows in quality.

However, this was enough to make Jay Chou astonished.

"so……"

So he has no need to find you.

The agent didn't say that.
Director Zhou looked at his manager, of course he could hear what his manager meant.

Wei Wei said with a little sigh: "Director Lu asked me to cooperate with the piano piece this time."

"You mean that Lu Chen is not good at piano music?"

The manager was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "It seems that this is the only explanation."

In terms of melody alone, vocal music is characterized by a small range span, not too fast, and not too fast jumping, usually with more soothing lines, while some pianos will be the opposite.

To put it in a more general way, it means that the songs can't sing too complicated things, but he can sing simple things very well. Playing simple things on the piano will be monotonous, but he can play very gorgeous content.

Jay Chou nodded slightly.

"However, Lu Chen really shouldn't be underestimated." The manager sighed again.

It's not because Lu Chen is not good at piano music that he looks down on Lu Chen.

You know, music is just Lu Chen's hobby.

His job is to be a director!

Speaking of directing.

The manager once again felt extremely regretful, if he had agreed to Lu Chen for his artist last time!
Jay Chou can say that he is an actor.

Although it is not professional, there is still no problem in adding these two words on your Weibo homepage.

But if you miss it, you miss it.

In this regard.

They can only draw in their relationship with Lu Chen again.

Never had a chance before,

Now is the chance,

Of course they have to catch it.

He smiled and said: "If it's possible, I hope we can cooperate happily this time. With such a young and powerful director like Lu Chen, it is only good for us to get in touch with him."

Jay Chou nodded slightly.

He understood what his agent meant.

Even if the price is reduced, this cooperation must be completed.

Looking at Jay Chou's expression: "If you think about it this way, he is your fan, and it will be much more comfortable to give benefits to his fans."

Between words, the agent had already parked the car.

The crew in front is filming.

The agent asked curiously: "I don't know how the scene directed by Lu is like?"

Jay Chou shook his head,
He wasn't quite sure either.

At this moment, the recorder stopped the two people who wanted to join the group: "You two, we are... Jay Chou, are you here..."

Ok,

Changji instantly became a fan.

Jay Chou's manager said, "We have an appointment to meet Director Lu."

After hearing the words, the attitude became more enthusiastic.

"It turned out that I made an appointment with Director Lu. Wait a moment, I will inform Director Lu."

"Thank you."

Looking at the back of Chang Ji leaving, the manager raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect that besides Director Lu, there are many fans of yours here."

Jay Chou was speechless!

But the broker was right.
because soon,

Jay Chou was surrounded by a group of people.

Not long after, Changji came back.

Lu Chen was naturally following the scene notes. Although today was different, it was the arrival of Jay Chou.

Lu Chen still had to come out to greet him in person.

"Welcome both of you."

"Director Lu, hello, I'm the manager of the conclusion." Jay Chou's manager spoke first.

"Hello."

Jay Chou's manager smiled gently, and then gave the space to Lu Chen and Jay Chou.

……

"Dong Zhou came here so soon, it seems that there is good news?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

"I wrote a few songs, but I'm not very satisfied. I wanted to find some inspiration." Jay Chou said.

This "The Pianist" has a large number of clips of the hero playing the piano.

The bottom of the piano.

Lu Chen didn't have one, and Tang Lei didn't even have one.

Therefore, only people can be invited.

When thinking of hiring someone, the first thing Lu Chen thought of was naturally his own idol.

Therefore, Lu Chen wasn't thinking about other people either.

Directly extend an invitation to Jay Chou again.

this time,

Jay Chou did not refuse, but unexpectedly agreed to Lu Chen.

Tang Lei has no piano background.

It is definitely too late to learn now, even if it can be ejected.

But compared to these masters, it is definitely incomparable.

Therefore, the effect of the piano performance is ultimately done by Jay Chou.

Tang Lei only needs to pretend to be playing the piano.

As for why Jay Chou came here now.

Of course I came here to find inspiration, and my colleagues also came to give advice to Tang Lei.

As for the tune.

That's the later life,
Not in a hurry.

For Jay Chou's arrival, the whole crew is quite excited.

No one expected that Director Lu would give everyone such a bonus.

That's right.

Jay Chou's arrival.

It can indeed be said to be a benefit.

And Jay Chou did not disappoint everyone, he sat in front of the expensive piano of the crew.

Slightly adjust the body shape.

The next moment, notes flowed through his fingertips.

They said they were looking for inspiration, but by the looks of it, they were actually already prepared.

A few chords are under the touch of his right hand, like a gentle breeze.

It's like a spring breeze.

The intersection of black and white piano keys touches everyone's hearts in the moist and silent way.

The round and natural sound fills the whole room and space.

Of course, Lu Chen, who knows the score, can tell that the score is not that complicated.

But this combination seems to have a magical power.
