Chapter 74 Wei Yang: Chaoyang is an unlucky place

"Quanjude's roast duck is not good. If you want to try authentic and affordable Beijing roast duck, go to Bianyifang. The newly opened one called Siji Minfu is not bad..."

"The time-honored restaurants in the capital recommend Fengzeyuan first, and Hongbinlou is also good. Different people have different opinions on other restaurants..."

"Hi, you are late. You came a month earlier. The streets are full of foreign friends. You don't know a few words of English, so you are too embarrassed to argue with them..."

"..."

I have long heard that taxi drivers in Sijiu City can chat. Wei Yang has seen it today. It has been more than an hour from the airport to the city, and he has not stopped talking.

Just ask Wei Yang, and he can talk about a lot, from local customs, to historical allusions, to the changes of the times, and finally to the international situation.

Good guy, if this group of people were to write web articles, they would all be Poseidon, the god of the sea.

"Okay, here we are."

Wei Yang paid the money, got out of the suitcase, and the driver kicked the accelerator smartly.

"I wish you a happy stay in the capital, goodbye."

Standing on the streets of the capital with a suitcase in hand, Wei Yang glanced at the road signs around him and grinned.

"It's sunrise again, this place is not auspicious."

Looking at the address sent in the text message, Wei Yang, wearing a hat and sunglasses, walked into the gate of the community not far away, asked two passers-by, and finally found the unit building, took the elevator, and went straight to the [-]th floor.

"1204, this is it."

Wei Yang rang the doorbell, and a minute or two later, the door opened. Zhao Liying, who hadn't seen him for a long time, saw him and happily jumped onto Wei Yang.

Taking a quick glance around, Wei Yang carried Xiao Zhao in one hand, and entered the room with the suitcase in the other.
He closed the door with his foot, and before Wei Yang could look at Xiao Zhao's residence, his mouth was immediately blocked by Xiao Zhao.

After a while, taking advantage of the gap to take a breath, Xiao Zhao's eyes were wet, and his red lips were pursed, whispering in Wei Yang's ear.

"I bought that bellyband."

What else could Wei Yang say, he carried Xiao Zhao across his arms and walked towards the bedroom, the door opened and closed, only the suitcase was left alone at the entrance of the living room.

...

After the smoke cleared, Wei Yang lay on the bed, regretting that he didn't bring a pack of cigarettes with him.

Although he is not addicted to cigarettes, but if he does not smoke one at this time, he always feels that there is something wrong.

There is no air-conditioning in the room, Xiao Zhao was sweating all over, got up to take a shower, and when he came out, Wei Yang was wandering around the house in shorts, observing the layout of the house.

"This place is not bad."

The place Xiao Zhao lives in is a small apartment with an area of ​​about 40-50 square meters, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, living room/dining room + bedroom + bathroom + kitchen, and there is even a half-balcony for drying clothes.

"The company contacted us, the rent will be reduced or exempted, and the water and electricity will be taken care of by ourselves, so there is no need to squeeze into a shared house or basement."

Xiao Zhao is a little bit embarrassed, Huayi's family has a big business, and small artists don't have much sense of existence, but they still have some guaranteed benefits after all.

Of course, more than half of the money that Xiao Zhao pays every year is handed over to Huayi, which is essentially the sheep.

After wandering around, Wei Yang felt a little hungry.

He's prone to airsickness, so he didn't dare to eat too much when he got off the airport. He didn't drink a sip of water, and he worked hard. The food he made up for in the morning and the plane had already been consumed. .

Xiao Zhao knew that Wei Yang was coming today, so he was well prepared. He stewed the beef ahead of time, heated it up, steamed the fish, cooked two small stir-fries, and started cooking in half an hour.

"Is it tasty?"

When Wei Yang took a bite of the beef, Xiao Zhao looked at him expectantly, and the latter nodded.

"good to eat."

I said before that Xiao Zhao is good at housework, but his cooking talent is not high, at least not as good as Wei Yang.

The taste of the four dishes is not bad, but it is not particularly delicious. The beef is slightly salty, the fish is not well marinated, and the two stir-fries are too old.

But if you think about it in your heart, it's all right, if you really say it, you don't want to live a good life, so Wei Yang decisively encourages and praises it.

"I've made a lot of progress compared to when I was in Shanghai. In a short time, I will have to abdicate my position as the chef of our family."

The word "our family" made Xiao Zhao very happy, and kept picking up vegetables and rice for Wei Yang, almost supporting Wei Yang.

After eating, Wei Yang wanted to show off by washing the dishes, but Xiao Zhao didn't let him do the work.

Wei Yang could only sit on the sofa to digest, and then he saw the script on the coffee table, picked it up and saw it was Xiao Zhao's script in "Interpol".

It can be seen that Xiao Zhao has been flipping through it a lot, and he wrote and memorized a lot of things in the script.

Wei Yang couldn't help but smile, this is the method he taught Xiao Zhao.

After going through the script several times, trying to figure out and analyze the psychological environment of the characters, you can always get different results, and then organize and write it down in the script, which is convenient for understanding the characters and design-related performance details during shooting.
Later, in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle Star", Liu Shishi also followed him.

But "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is okay, and the trick of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle Star" is not suitable.

Especially in the later stage, Liu Shishi's filming is basically the same as if he was on the hook. Most of the scenes don't need to figure out the design at all, as long as she puts her emotions into it, she can go straight to the show.

But Wei Yang didn't think his method was useless.

After all, there are always a few moments of opening and hanging, and a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. The experience accumulated step by step by this stupid method can often become a valuable background of an actor.

When Xiao Zhao came out of the kitchen, he was a little embarrassed to see Wei Yang reading the script she memorized.

"Don't read it, I'm just writing nonsense."

"Don't belittle yourself, your writing is pretty good, but sometimes you don't just study your own characters, you can also properly enrich the scene details of the characters in the opponent's play, so that you can feel the scene and the psychological process of the characters more intuitively."

Wei Yang encouraged Xiao Zhao's efforts and introduced his own experience by the way.

After all, one-man shows are a minority, and good plays are made by each other. Mature actors can't patronize themselves, they have to understand the plays of their partners.

Xiao Zhao nodded thoughtfully. In terms of acting, Wei Yang is really her half teacher.

She has benefited a lot from Wei Yang, so she is willing to listen to Wei Yang's professional advice.

Wei Yang is not considered a misleading child. As I said before, although he is not very experienced in acting, he is a screenwriter and is very good at analyzing scripts + designing scene details.

In addition, he also came from a major, and not only was he a student of the acting department, he was also a well-known film critic in his previous life.

Therefore, the theoretical knowledge is extremely rich, and they are well-informed, and their thoughts and vision are still somewhat unique. At least once in a while, it is not a big problem to teach Xiao Zhao and Liu Shishi who have become monks halfway through.

...

After chatting for a while, Wei Yang stopped on his own, probably because he was middle-aged before rebirth, and he was always a little habitual to be a teacher.

In fact, this is not a shortcoming. On the contrary, both Xiao Zhao and Liu Shishi like to listen to his long speeches, and feel that he is mature and connotative.

But Wei Yang felt that it was nothing more than facing someone close to him.Outsiders should be more cautious in their words and deeds, and there is no need to talk so much, so consciously restrain this habit.

Instead of talking about the script, you can talk about the current life, especially Xiao Zhao, who likes to inquire about his daily life.

"I'll go to class after I'm finished, and practice vocal music when I have time. I also met a few screenwriters recently, and I've taken a fancy to two good seedlings, and I'm going to lead apprentices."

"Have you accepted an apprentice?"

Xiao Zhao is very interested in this. If Wei Yang becomes a master, she will not be a master's wife.

Wei Yang saw that she was curious, so he chatted with his two preparatory disciples.

As mentioned earlier, it is very common for screenwriters to bring the old with the new.

In terms of experience, channels, contacts, etc., it is difficult for new screenwriters to get in touch with, and there will be fewer detours if there are old screenwriters leading them.

The old screenwriter is busy with work and sometimes needs to form some teams and recruit some people to assist him. Newcomers are cheap, hardworking and obedient, which is a very cost-effective choice.

The mutual benefit of the two parties has gradually become a practice in the industry.

The specific relationships are various, some are bosses and employees, some are older brothers and younger brothers, there are also mentors and apprentices, couples/lover, and even very few godfathers.

In his previous life, Wei Yang experienced mostly boss-employee and master-student relationships, so he is more familiar with these two models.

The screenwriters Wei Yang found this time were also acquaintances from previous lives.

One is Ma Jin, who graduated from high school and was born in a pure field. He is characterized by solid writing and extremely fast coding speed, but the disadvantage is that he is not smart and has poor creativity and plot structure talent, so he can only help others.

In his previous life, Wei Yang started as a screenwriter with Gunner and Apprentice together with him. Later, Wei Yang became an independent screenwriter, and he was still Gunner.

However, Wei Yang knows Ma Jin's strength. Although he cannot act as a screenwriter independently, as long as he is given the outline, setting and strict plot direction, he can come up with a script of sufficient quality.

In his previous life, Wei Yang sometimes did some private work, and he loved to ask Ma Jin for help. He did a good job and said little, and he never delayed the delivery.

The other is Zuo Le, a freshman in the Drama and Literature Department of Shanghai Opera. He has been with Wei Yang in his previous life, and he is considered a half-disciple.

Unlike Ma Jin, Zuo Le is a hexagonal talent with good standards in all aspects, but precisely because of this, although he is well-rounded, he has no outstanding advantages.

Such a person has a high lower limit, but the upper limit is not high, so he can't be the leader. The best position is to play support.

In his previous life, Zuo Le was Wei Yang's right-hand man. From the moment he was reborn, Wei Yang began to miss his old partner.

This time looking for an intern screenwriter, Wei Yang went to Zuo Le first, but the latter was just a freshman and hadn't started yet, so through memories, he pulled out Ma Jinpa, who was still a shooter.

The two of them are still unknown people, and naturally they are overjoyed to face the solicitation of Wei Yang, who is already a little famous.

Zuo Le was clever, and directly called Master, and even Ma Jin followed suit, so Wei Yang accepted these two old friends and old partners from the previous life as apprentices.

In fact, Ma Jin is a few years older than Wei Yang, and Zuo Le is only two years younger than him.

However, screenwriters are those who are skilled first, and it is not uncommon for people in their 50s and 30s to be called teachers in their [-]s and [-]s. Master and apprentice are just titles.
