Rebirth 2002: Chic Life

Chapter 471 Going the way of others

Zhang Yimou began to meditate.

Wu Dong smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually about the clothes, just for reference."

Chen Weiya, "Using Hanfu instead of cheongsam, um, you're not just talking about it, I think it's very good."

Zhang Yimou, "I admire his vision and aesthetics very much."

Wu Dong glanced at him.

...I just took out your things ahead of time...

Zhang Yimou, "Today's plan is to go through the whole process, rehearsal with make-up, including the previous video promotional film, you can watch it, and if you think it is not suitable, we will re-study it. We will do this in just one and a half months. "

Chen Weiya smiled and said, "Director Wu doesn't have time to stay here with us all day, he has more important tasks."

Zhang Yimou slapped his head, "Hi!"

The team members next to him laughed.

……

When Wu Dong joins the team, other directors will be ranked later, but everyone does not reject him.

No matter how good Guo Degang's Peking opera singing is, Peking opera actors would not step on him, because he did not threaten, and would not compete with them for jobs, but instead helped them promote for free.

……

Zhang Yimou laughed, "I don't ask you to do any specific work, but to come up with ideas and opinions, and take care of the overall situation with me."

Wu Dong nodded enthusiastically, "I am a consultant, a staff officer."

They talked about the rehearsal with makeup, but Lao Mouzi was still babbling, and Wu Dong was very annoyed.

You have seen many beauties, but can you still get tired of watching this thing?
Wu Dong is absent-minded and perfunctory... Don't talk nonsense, I'm in a hurry, this ultra-short cheongsam song and dance may not be seen by the world audience, but I have to appreciate it, Tang Yan, a sophomore, looks so young...

This 8-minute performance has been going back and forth for half a year from idea to selection, rehearsal, redesign, and rehearsal.

When we engage in these face-saving projects, we don't consider the cost.

The rehearsal was completely in accordance with the arrangement of the scene, and there were even some people who played athletes and volunteers to make it more difficult for the actors to appear on stage. Unlike the rehearsal, it was like a real performance.

Apart from Zhang Yimou and Chen Weiya, there were many other directors in charge.

A female director came over and reported that she was from the Yanjing Song and Dance Troupe, and her surname was Qin, "Although it's only 8 minutes, we still designed four themes."

Director Qin handed Wu Dong a pamphlet, which was very beautifully printed and probably was for the leadership to review.

[A total of 2 and a half minutes, 12 "Olympic Babies" wearing national costumes and holding Chinese national musical instruments appeared on the stage...】

National costumes, these four words make Wu Dong angry at first sight!

...The cheongsam, which is so short that the buttocks are exposed, has to be slit. This has become a national costume, and it shows a seven or eight.Although I like to watch it, it is really lacking in mind to display it as a traditional culture...

Director Qin, "The second part is to interpret Chinese Kung Fu through dance to show the charm of Chinese Kung Fu. The lead dancer is Wang Doudou, and the other actors are teachers from Duolin Wushu School."

Wu Dong has no impression of this part of the performance...

"The third part is Peking Opera...the fourth part is an invitation to the world."

……

Twelve girls have already entered the stage, and Director Qin is still continuing, but Wu Dong has no intention of listening.

...The entertainment industry is really hard to mix, just this kind of show is not much better than a nightclub, but Xinfeng definitely can't make up 12 beauties like this...

Zhang Yimou said softly: "Look, "Jasmine Flower", Oriental women, Erhu, Kung Fu, Red Lantern, Peking Opera, and Chinese children, because children are the most innocent and the best symbol of the endless Chinese civilization of 5000 years... ..."
-
Too complicated!
You can do 8 minutes in 8 minutes.

Wu Dong still remembered the 8 minutes when London was in Yanjing.

The station, the bus, the singer, Beckham...it's over!
What cultural essence does it embody?

He just shows the rhythm of life in London.

After London came Rio.

The Brazilian didn't even shoot the promotional video, so he danced a samba...singing and dancing, and finally the football king Pele showed his face!
Brazil is the book.

... Captain Tsubasa, Doraemon... In the last scene, Abe dressed up as Super Mario and appeared in the center of the Maracanã Stadium using the "pipe" set up in the center of the venue...

The Chinese people are very broad-minded, and we can admit that others are excellent when we should.

If compared to the opening ceremony, our opening ceremony is unprecedented!

Of course, our investment is unprecedented...

But it’s just an 8-minute performance, what Zhang Yimou filmed is shit!
a shame!Pooh! ! !

……

There are more than a dozen people in the conference room on the first floor.

Everyone is talking about each other, and all the details have been mentioned, such as the actors' positioning, clothing, hair accessories, color of shoes, balance of lanterns, what elements need to be added to the promotional film...

Wu Dong kept silent.

... Fuck, I was careless, there was no flash.Think about it carefully, what am I doing in this muddy water, and come and get scolded?No, everyone knows that I'm an athlete, but I'm also a director, it's so confusing...

Wu Dong was in a daze all the time, no one thought he was confused by the cheongsam, and gradually felt that the atmosphere was not right.

"Director Wu, let's say a few words!" Zhang Yimou extended the invitation.

Wu Dong sighed, "Are you telling the truth?"

……

Quiet in the conference room!

The style of painting is wrong, and it is not the beginning to make comments.

But just now he also proposed to change the cheongsam into Hanfu, and everyone started to feel drummed.

……

Zhang Yimou looked solemn, "I can stand criticism."

Wu Dong said indifferently: "There are too many things to express, and the time is too short! The promotional video is the same, too much content is packed into 2 minutes, and there is no space left."

"..."

On July 2004, 7, Monday, at eight o'clock in the evening, Wu Dong left Beiyuan No. 19.

Zhang Yimou supported the table with both hands, his body was very tired and his expression was very excited.

Chen Weiya wanted to come over to comfort him but didn't know what to say, so he hesitated for a while and sat across from him to drink tea.

Zhang Yimou raised his head, "How is it?" His eyes sparkled!

Chen Weiyamo held the teacup, "It is said that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves were photographed on the beach! Are we being photographed to death? I thought the career was just started at the age of 50."

……

Tong Xiaorong looked at Wu Dong who was sitting in the back seat, the boss was rarely worried!

She asked cautiously: "What's the matter, Director Zhang doesn't listen to your opinion? It's normal for him to be a bit stubborn after he has been famous for a long time. Anyway, you also said that you are here to play for your qualifications."

"Water experience, experience +3," Wu Dong muttered.

"What?" Tong Xiaorong didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, you don't even understand!"

Tong Xiaorong, "Then what's going on now?"

Wu Dong sighed, "I confused myself as the protagonist!

I'm so cheap, what advice do I give him, they all say to follow my way of thinking, how can I have time..."

　Hehehe, thanks for the reward from Zhu Sanpang.Thank you for your monthly tickets and recommendations.
