This actor doesn't look like a good guy

A few days later, Jiang Bai met Liu Heping again at the Huguang Guild Hall.

The person who will be singing here today is also a famous actor, and the song to be sung is also the classic "Dingjun Mountain".

After ten years of renovation from [-] to [-], the Huguang Guild Hall has been reopened for almost ten years now, and it is still full of guests every time it opens.

The surrounding area is antique and magnificent, with carved beams and painted pillars, simple and elegant, the attic is spacious, the audience seats are divided into upper and lower floors, and the magnificent Eight Immortals tables are arranged neatly.

Above the stage is the plaque "Neon Clothes Chant Together".

The couplets holding the pillars are one to six feet long. The first couplet reads:
"Wei Que shared the dynasty, and the atmosphere is like a dream in the clouds of Dongting."

Lower linkage:
"Kang Qu Kai's dance palace and merchants are still surrounded by snow and spring."

In order to get the two tickets here, Jiang Bai also made a lot of phone calls to inquire.

In the end, he finally got three tickets from a big boss who was an opera actor with whom he had collaborated in filming.

Originally, Jiang Bai wanted to invite Zhao Zhe to come with him, but Zhao Zhe himself didn't know much about opera. He was afraid that he wouldn't understand when he came, and he was worried that he would show his timidity when talking about opera, so he simply let Jiang Bai come by himself. .

"Teacher Liu, we meet again." Jiang Bai said with a smile.

Liu Heping nodded: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Xiao Jiang. The last time I came here to listen to a play was several years ago."

"Haha, I don't come often. After all, there are few theaters now, and I'm busy here, so I usually can only listen to the plays by myself on MP3, but I always listen to them through headphones, which feels a bit lacking. I have to It’s better to listen to the show live.”

"That's right."

Later, after the two found a seat and sat down, they chatted about the Huguang Guild Hall.

"Speaking of which, this Huguang Guild Hall is quite old." Liu Heping said.

"Yes, since it was founded in 1807, some ministers from the imperial court still lived here. Later, it became a performance venue for famous actors in the Liyuan. At the beginning, two old gentlemen, Tan Xinpei and Chen Delin, both performed here." Jiang Bai nodded. said.

Of course, he didn't know much about Huguang Guild Hall before, but in order to cooperate with Liu Heping, he went to check it out.

"Yeah, it's still very good here now. You see, the walls around here are all ancient paintings that have been carefully inspected and studied by the master workers and then restored. They are not much different from those back then.

I think back then, only celebrities from the imperial court could come in. How could ordinary people like us be qualified to sit here? "

"Haha, Teacher Liu, why don't we just sit here now?"

"So, it's better now."

While they were chatting, the host also began to take the stage to announce the curtain. Of course, the song he sang at the beginning was not "Dingjun Mountain". There were some other plays to be sung before the big show.

The two of them just listened and cheered along with other audience members from time to time.

After singing a song, the two would communicate with each other and talk about which of the opera actors who had just performed were newcomers and which ones were veteran opera actors.

When it comes to these things, Jiang Bai naturally talks clearly and logically.

Even Liu Heping would sometimes nod his head at some of the words Jiang Bai said. Although he had done opera research before, when it came to listening to operas, he didn't listen as much as Jiang Bai.

Although he also knew many famous opera masters, at that time, those famous opera masters had to bow their heads obediently in front of Jiang Bai.

Don't say that some things are inherited from the family and cannot be disclosed to outsiders. At that time, as long as Jiang Bai asked, those famous opera masters would always answer his questions.

After all, things passed down from ancestors must be alive to continue to be passed on, right?

Although it doesn't matter if Jiang Bai knows some things, anyway, it's impossible for others to come over and compete with him for his job.

They just listened to one song after another, sipping tea and eating snacks on the table from time to time.

"Don't tell me, I haven't listened to a play like this for a long time. I don't need to think about anything else, just listen attentively."

"Then we can come here more often in the future. It just so happens that I am also lacking a fan friend here."

"Hahaha, yes, yes."

When listening to the opera today, Jiang Bai didn't say anything, he just talked about the opera.

After waiting until he finished reading, Jiang Bai drove the other party back.

It was only the next day that Jiang Bai called to ask the other party out again.

They had a great chat yesterday, and Jiang Bai was treating him again, so Liu Heping came out again.

And this time Zhao Zhe was brought here again.

After a few polite words, Jiang Bai went straight to the point: "Teacher Liu, I heard from Brother Zhao that you have a historical drama script that is quite good. It just so happens that our company also wants to develop into TV dramas, but it has been... There are no good books, so I just wanted to ask you if you could give us a chance to buy the copyright."

Liu Heping actually knew early on that Jiang Bai was working on his script, but Jiang Bai, a kid who was more than two rounds younger than him, was very good at getting things done, and he could speak eloquently about opera.

And after he returned, he also checked Jiang Bai and found that Jiang Bai's growth had been very inspiring.

Including the movie shot at the end of last year is also very good. Even if the plot is excerpted, the costumes and martial arts movements are quite restored.

Not to mention that most of the songs in it are played by classical instruments.

It's just that Liu Heping is in a bit of a dilemma now. On the one hand, the director of Xiangtai really wants this book. For this reason, the director of Xiangtai has approached him many times, but Liu Heping has never let go.

Now here comes Ginger Bai again.

Speaking of relationships, he must be closer to Hunan and Taiwan. After all, he is from Hunan Province.

"This matter is actually a bit complicated. The director of Xiangtai Station always comes to me and wants me to sell the book to them. After all, we are all fellow villagers." Jiang Bai smiled: "Then isn't this still a problem? No, for you, this work was created with your hard work. Although our company's current strength is definitely not comparable to Xiangtai, I can assure you that if we can get this book, we will definitely do it by then. We can cooperate with CCTV to shoot.

Because whether it is the company, Brother Zhao or me, we have a lot of dealings with CCTV. You have cooperated with CCTV before, so you must be aware of their strength.

In addition, I don’t know, Mr. Liu, whether you have watched the movie our company produced last year. It may sound a bit self-proclaimed, but I have indeed done some research on various cultural customs in ancient times. I will also invite some experts when the time comes. Come over to help with the design, and I will definitely restore all the historical details of the movie as much as possible.

Also, since this script is yours, you definitely want to see this film made the way you envision it, so if we get this script, you will be the chief producer of this TV series by then. , you can participate in it later whether it’s casting or anything else.

Instead of selling the book and taking the money, in my opinion, this is disrespectful to the original author and does not pay attention to the embodiment of the script. What do you think? "

Liu Heping subconsciously agreed after hearing this. To be honest, he was very excited about the conditions Jiang Bai offered him.

He has never been a chief producer before, but he knows very well the value of the title of chief producer.

"But can you guarantee that this script can be cooperated with CCTV?"

"Of course, otherwise, let's find a time another day. Brother Zhao and I will invite the leaders over there to come out and let's sit down and chat together."

"also."

In fact, Liu Heping also wanted to see the strength of Jiang Bai and the others.

After dinner, there was nothing else to do on both sides, so Jiang Bai invited Liu Heping to sit in the company.

Of course, this seemingly impromptu decision was actually planned by Jiang Bai long ago.

Now everyone who has nothing to do is staying in the company.

Even Jiang Wen was called back from Yunnan by Jiang Bai.

You know, Jiang Wen is filming there right now.
Just when they were on the phone, Jiang Bai said that he wanted to get a book that was so awesome that it would explode, and if he wanted to get the book, he had to show off, so Jiang Wen naturally rushed back to help the company. Hold on to the scene.

After all, the movie "Let the Sun Also Rises" was completely invested by Jiang Bai, whether from the perspective of friendship, the perspective of company development, or because Jiang Bai is an investor. From a different perspective, he has to sit in the company at this time today.

After returning to the company, Jiang Bai first introduced their canteen to Liu Heping as soon as he entered the door. After all, the canteen was relatively close to the outside.

It's also convenient to open here. Everyone can go directly to their workstations after eating at work.

"The chefs in our canteen here are all hired from outside, and their skills are very good. If Teacher Liu is passing by here one day and is hungry, he can come up and taste the food in our canteen."

"Not bad."

"Here is our screenwriter team. Most of the movies the company shot before were produced by them. Although Brother Zhao is now the vice president of the company, he is also the boss of the screenwriter team. The movie we shot " "Jianghu", Brother Zhao is the chief screenwriter."

Then he introduced Ning Hao, who was talking about the script with the screenwriters here.

Although Ning Hao also has a job now, Jiang Bai also called him back because the company needed to support the business.

Speaking of Ning Hao, Liu Heping naturally knows about it. Anyone who is famous in this circle will know Ning Hao's name. "Crazy Stone" won more than ten times the profit with an investment of more than 300 million yuan. box office, this can already be said to be a myth.

Later, Ning Hao's sequel to the crazy series directly surpassed the original results, doubling the original investment again.

And Ning Hao also respects great screenwriters like Liu Heping very much. Because he also writes scripts, he knows how valuable these three words Liu Heping are in the screenwriting world.

Finally, they came to the director's side, and the company assigned each director an office and then allowed them to decorate it according to their own style preferences.

Besides books and some antiques he brought from home, Jiang Wen's office was filled with wine.

A variety of wines and a variety of wine glasses.

"Teacher Liu, I've admired you for a long time. I didn't expect to finally see you today." As soon as Jiang Wen saw Liu Heping, he smiled quickly, stood up and came over to shake hands.

"Director Jiang, you're welcome. I'm just a few years older, it doesn't really matter."

"You are being modest. In the literary and art world, you are my senior. There are only three types of people that I, Jiang Wen, like to associate with most in my life. The first type is talented people, the second type is also talented people, and the third type is also talented people. He is still a very talented person!"

"Originally I was filming outside, but that day I happened to call Jiang Bai out of boredom and asked about the company's recent situation. When he said he wanted to go to the theater with you, I thought to myself that I must meet such a person. As soon as I saw him, I flew back directly.

That is to say, I am a thin-skinned person and a bit shy, otherwise I would have to go over and listen to you shamelessly. "

Liu Heping couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. He had met Jiang Wen before, but it was just a glimpse from a distance. But judging from Jiang Wen's current personality, he could be regarded as shy. ?

If Jiang Wen is shy, then what kind of introversion must he become?

Jiang Wen then visited the company with the three of them, and finally came to the company's wall of honor, where there were various certificates.

There are awards won by their screenwriting team at film festivals, as well as awards won by the director, as well as the Newcomer Best Actor award won by Wang Baoqiang and the Oscar won by Jiang Bai.

The entire cabinet is filled with shiny gold medals and trophies.

"Actually, our company attaches great importance to screenwriting. Although the director is the one who controls the entire filming, the screenwriter is the soul of a good work. So when we were still in Siheyuan, we set up a special department when the company only had four or five people. The screenwriting team gives them the best treatment and the best working space so that they can create with peace of mind," Jiang Bai said.

Liu Heping was convinced when he heard this: "Actually, the screenwriting environment in our country is still a lot worse now. Everyone is either focused on the director or the stars in the crew. The screenwriter is more often like a Just like a worker holding a pen.

If the director says he wants to change it, then he has to change it. If the famous stars say they want to change it, they have to change it. Even if the investors who have invested money want to praise the people they brought in, the screenwriters have to work hard to change the script. "

"But such a situation will never happen in our company. Just like our company currently has four directors, one is Brother Jiang Wen, one is Ning Hao, one is Xiao Yang and a cartoon director.

But Brother Jiang Wen and Ning Hao have both been screenwriters before, including Brother Zhao, who is also a screenwriter, so we know the importance of screenwriting better than anyone else.

During filming, if we want to consider the rationality of the script, we may make some modifications, but this is also to produce better works. In addition, if the investor wants to forcibly protect people, then we will directly replace the investor. Anyway, There are many people willing to invest.

If any star dares to change the script for an unfounded reason, then just replace the person directly. Anyway, there are many excellent actors, and this one is not bad. "(End of chapter)
