Not only "Suzhou River", Mr. Lu's "Broad Days" also encountered trouble when the rough cut was submitted for review.
Compared with "Suzhou River", which has never been heard from again, "Broad Daylight" has been treated quite well, and the official at least gave suggestions for revisions. Mainly because the title "Broad Daylight" is too harsh.
What does broad daylight mean? A crime committed in broad daylight? At the most serious level, it would be said that you have ulterior motives; at the most small level, this is contrary to the current propaganda context.
Senior Lu had no choice but to change the title of the film to "A Very Summer". At first glance, it sounded quite romantic, but it could easily be misunderstood as a love movie.
However, it is obvious that the changed title is not as appropriate as the original title and lacks the original impact. However, in order for the film to be released publicly, Mr. Lu still made compromises, including deleting many scenes of Ma Xiaoqin being raped by two gangsters.
Compared to Lou Ye, a diehard, Mr. Lu's consistent principle is to never lose the original motivation of the film and to ensure that the film can be released to the public.
Thinking back to his debut film "Grown Up" back then, he would have spent three years revising it before it could be released to the public. In order to participate in international film festivals through legitimate channels, he had to give up invitations from more than 20 foreign film festivals.
Although when the movie was later released, it received unanimous praise and became one of the top ten grossing movies in Beijing that year. But for Mr. Lu, this film, which had to be changed beyond recognition, had long since lost its original desire to express itself.
In mid-November, "Little Li's Flying Knife" was launched in mainland China. This TV series received good ratings and praise when it was broadcast on Wanwan. After it was launched in the mainland, it hit a ratings of 35%.
Although this ratings cannot compare with the phenomenal "Return of the Pearl" series, it is enough to rank among the top three of the year.
The handsome and handsome Jiao Enjun became famous all of a sudden. The tenderness occasionally revealed in his free and uninhibited behavior in the play makes people deeply moved without knowing it.
Ten years after he separated from his beloved beauty Lin Shiyin, he held the statue made for Shiyin alone, fell into remembrance of the past, and shed two lines of tears in complete forgetfulness. The audience seemed to truly understand what it meant. Zuo is in ecstasy!
Xiao Qiang, the leading female lead in the drama, is currently being hyped as "the most beautiful woman in the Bay Area". To be honest, if she were without makeup, Li Tang really wouldn't be able to get the title of "the most beautiful woman in the bay", but he also had to admit that with makeup on, she did indeed perform Lin Shiyin's unparalleled elegance when she appeared on the screen.
However, there are also many viewers who are deeply impressed by Feihong's role as the fairy Yang Yan. She has a classic temperament, and when she looks back and smiles, she really feels like she has caught a glimpse of the world.
There are many highlights in the play, such as Wu Jing's A Fei and Jia Jingwen's Sun Xiaohong becoming a couple, which is the biggest subversion of the original work, but it also satisfies the desire of many viewers who have watched the original work to have them together.
The Shangguan Fei played by Li Tang is also a big surprise in the play. His previous role as Xiao Jian in "Return of the Pearl II" has left a deep impression on the audience. In "Little Li Fei Dao" His appearance is more handsome than Xiao Jian. In terms of handsomeness, he is the only person in the drama who can compare with Jiao Enjun. Perhaps the biggest regret is that he doesn't have many scenes, his character is not likable, and he lacks the aura of the protagonist that Jiao Enjun has.
As for Xing'er, played by Fan Xiaopang, not much attention was paid to it, although she still played a role of a maid similar to Jin Suo in the play. Some media even commented that her performance was solid and could not escape the shackles of Jin Suo.
Xiaopang was so depressed that he called Li Tang to complain to him. Li Tang comforted her, as long as the media is willing to write about you, it is a good thing, and black and red are also red. The biggest fear of being an actor is that even the media won't bother to pay attention to you, and then you will really be in the cold.
…
"Hey, ha!"
"Hey, ha!"
Li Tang held the bamboo pole, flicked two guns and made a blocking motion, and then stabbed at the target hanging on the camphor tree. Although you can't hit 100 times, you can at least hit 89 times out of 10.
"Oh, it's okay! You can achieve this level of perfection in such a short time, it's great!"
Wu Jing raised his thumb and praised him.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Li Tang still thought that he was practicing slowly.
"Nonsense! When I was training back then, it took almost a year to reach your current level."
Listening to what Wu Jing said, Li Tang thought about it and it seemed that this was really the case. For example, he learned things very quickly now, and when he practiced Sanda now, whether it was punching or kicking, he was not only fast, but also powerful. It was much more powerful in the previous life.
Maybe it's because of time travel benefits, or maybe he is actually a martial arts prodigy with extraordinary bones, but he just hasn't been discovered.
"Then when will you teach me the moves?" Li Tang asked enthusiastically.
"this……"
Wu Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "You'd better practice your basic skills first and then talk about it later."
"Don't look back."
Li Tang was in high spirits, so he quickly grabbed him and said, "I don't know how long it will take to turn around. Now that you and I are free, just stay here for two more days and teach me."
Li Tang is about to join the cast in about half a month. Although he only has fourteen episodes in "Xin Yi Jian Mei", it will still take a month anyway, and then it will be almost the Spring Festival.
After the new year, "The Swordsman" will be put on the schedule. If he is lucky enough to be shortlisted, although such a CCTV drama will not take several years to shoot like it did back then, it will take at least half a year, not even one year. It's over.
As for Wu Jing, I heard that this guy has signed three TV series in one go, and his schedule for next year is almost full.
Wu Jing was a little hesitant. In the concept he had been taught since childhood, martial arts training should be done step by step. First, master the basic skills and then learn the moves.
Moreover, he has been filming outside most of the year. After finally having some time off, he wants to return to the capital as soon as possible.
But Li Tang was anxious and said hurriedly: "Help me, I will give you good food and drinks in just a few days, and then I will give you a box of Moutai?"
Wu Jing reluctantly agreed: "Okay. But you can learn the moves, but you must not let go of your basic skills. You must continue to practice, otherwise it will become a show."
He was definitely not moved by Li Tang's promise of a box of Maotai, but just because of his friendship with Li Tang.
Li Tang had seen Wu Jing playing Tai Chi Spear, and it was very nice to do it in one set. But laymen see the excitement, while experts see the door. And if you just watch, it will be useless even if you know the moves. Learning moves and movements is the simplest, but you also need to learn the way to exert force, the tips for coordination and stability.
Why does Wu Jing emphasize basic skills? In fact, this is the main way to exert force, and it will also enhance your coordination and stability.
Tai Chi, in particular, emphasizes using force to strike and using softness to overcome hardness. It also emphasizes your coordination, stability and the power you exert at the last moment of your move.
There is an old saying in traditional martial arts: If you don’t know how to exert strength, don’t talk about actual combat. Tai Chi is an internal martial art. The exertion of force is called Shaking Jue Jin. The whole body must be relaxed and the body is highly coordinated. When exerting force, the muscles will change from loose to tight, and the loose energy of the whole body can be concentrated in an instant. Loose for speed, tight for strength. First loosen and then tighten. During exercise, you loosen. When you exert force, you tighten and then loosen.
As the saying goes, one is loose and the other is tight, there is a way to relax.
Li Tang kept his word and served him with good wine and food every day. In fact, Wu Jing came to Shanghai to participate in an event. Since she came to Shanghai, she had to keep in touch with her good friends. As a result, Li Tang directly took her to his hometown in the suburbs.
This was the first time that Li Tang brought a friend home after working, and he was also a martial arts star. Especially when "Little Li Fei Knife" was on the air, Lao Li was very enthusiastic and asked Wu Jing to sign autographs and take photos. Come like a fan.
Wu Jing loves to drink Maotai, and there are plenty of them in restaurants now. Drinking Wuliangye is popular these days. For example, when subordinates in restaurants entertain their leaders or self-employed people entertain government officials, they basically drink Wuliangye. Moutai, once hailed as China's number one liquor, has received little attention.
The current retail price of Wuliangye is 358, while that of Moutai is only 220, which is almost double the price. But in Li Tang's memory, it seems that Maotai has always been a symbol of nobility and luxury. When I came back this time, I simply asked my father to collect fifty boxes.
The retail price of Moutai is 220, and the wholesale price of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative Tobacco, Sugar and Liquor Company is less than 200. A box of six bottles is just over a thousand at best.
I have collected so many. Firstly, it is almost the end of the year, and I will use them for all kinds of New Year gifts. Secondly, it is not bad to have a drink at ordinary times. If it doesn't work out, just sell it in a restaurant, and you'll still get a 30% gross profit.
Li Tang learned very quickly, and he almost learned it in less than three days. The most difficult thing was the method of exerting force. There was no secret to this, it was just "practice"!
On the third day, Li Tang drove Wu Jing to the airport in the small Changan he used to buy groceries in the store. Because of the need to load cargo, the rear two rows of seats in the Changan were removed. Wu Jing put the suitcase in the back, so he could only squeeze into the cramped passenger seat.
When they got in the car, Lao Li was seeing them off. Wu Jing was embarrassed to say it. When the car started and drove a certain distance, Wu Jing couldn't help but said, "You're going to drive this car to see me off?"
"Yes, what else?" Li Tang glanced at him inexplicably.
"No, your restaurant's business is so good, don't tell me that you only have this shabby car."
"That's not true, there are two more."
When Wu Jing heard this, he immediately felt unhappy and said, "Then you have the nerve to drive this shabby car to me as a gift!"
"Well, it's hard to load the other two cars."
Wu Jing was stunned for a moment. It was difficult to load things. Could it be that it was a sports car? Two more? No, even if it’s a sports car, it still has a trunk.
"I only have one suitcase and one box of Maotai, why can't I pack more?" the guy wondered.
At this moment, Li Tang couldn't stand it anymore and said with a smile: "You drove that one yesterday. Do you think you can install it?"
"I've driven it...fuck, are you talking about a motorcycle?"
"Yes, there are also two motorcycles, a refurbished classic car that you drove by, and a Happiness 90 parked at home in the city."
"Sun thief, are you kidding me!" Wu Jing yelled angrily.
This guy leaned on the uncomfortable backrest, shook his head and said: "I see that your restaurant business is so good these days, and you still own the house. Besides, you are not short of money now, why can't you buy a better car? ?”
Li Tang patted the dashboard and said, "This car is very good. It drives well and saves fuel. Why do we need to replace it? Besides, my dad said that the car will be sold for half the price. If you have money, you might as well buy a house!"
Lao Li's thinking is typical of landlords. Now the three-bay hotel's facade room includes the second and third floors, each floor is 120 square meters, totaling 360 square meters. At that time, Lao Li gritted his teeth and bought it.
Think about it in 1994, the shops on the ground floor were 3,010 square meters, and the second and third floors were 1,110 square meters. The total cost was 600,000. Not only did Lao Li invest all his income from selling cigarettes for many years, he also sold his old house to get the money, and the money for renovations was borrowed.
Now in just five years, not only have the money for two or three houses been earned back, but the value of the houses has also increased astonishingly. The shops on the ground floor cost at least 7,000 to 8,000 square meters, and the second and third floors have doubled even if they were used as ordinary commercial housing.
Lao Li has obviously tasted the sweetness. In his words, the country is getting better and better, and houses can only rise but not fall. And although this is a suburb of Shanghai, it is Shanghai after all. It is better to buy a house than anything else, and it will definitely not be a loss.
Since the county in my hometown was restructured, it is said that new urban areas will be developed, and many real estate developments have begun to be developed around the old county. Lao Li runs a restaurant and has a lot of information. He keeps an eye on one thing. If an official buys a house, then it is absolutely right to follow suit.
In what he told Li Tang in private: Even though those officials eat and drink every day, they are actually the smartest people.
In this regard, Li Tang particularly admires his father. This is definitely the smartest way for little people to survive.
After listening to Li Tang's words, Wu Jing remained silent for a long time, and finally said with emotion: "You deserve to be rich!"
Nothing can withstand comparison. Wu Jing and his family are Banner people. Although the Qing Dynasty has been dead for almost a hundred years, the Banner people's inner virtues of showing off, caring about face, and showing off have never changed.
I remember when he debuted and filmed his first movie "The Karate Kid" and received a salary of more than 100,000 yuan, the first thing he did was buy himself a Jetta to show off, but he never thought about buying a house or anything.
RMB 100,000 is enough for a down payment for a two-bedroom apartment, so I won't have to live with my parents until now. And cars are really what Li Tang and his father said: cars are half the price on the market. Now that it has been driven for several years, the second-hand car is only worth 40,000 to 50,000 yuan at most. If you buy a house, it won't be a problem to raise it to over 100,000 yuan in a few years.
It's not that I didn't know, but I was shocked when I calculated it. Every time I went in and out, the losses were huge.
The first update, the second update happened around noon, I had a headache, so I went to bed early.
