Qin Nong's studio called. Li Jin's schedule is over. Qin Nong hopes that Jiang Ruiyun will participate in the role, and there is only one request, and Jiang Ruiyun must be the first actor.
Both Shi'an and Li Nian were a little surprised.
"Do you think Li Jin has had trouble with Qin Nong?"
"I won't let you know if she's making trouble or not. When will you let her go." Shi'an sometimes really thinks that Li Nian is not like a dog, but like a bastard, and he won't let go of her bite.
As for
After a few days of entanglement about Fan Wei, Li Nian, Qin Nongxu and Wei Snake only said that everything depends on Zhang Huitong. Qin Nong called Zhang Huitong, but Director Zhang was very decisive, "Xiao Jiang has been in a movie, and his roles are more important than Bai Yang. I think he should be the first protagonist."
Qin Nong didn't say anything else, and her studio didn't say anything else either.
It doesn't make much sense to talk about it now, and it will be a certainty when the movie is released. The movie has just started shooting, and no one wants to be a monster in Zhang Huitong's movie - why bother to offend the famous director? When the movie enters the promotion period, it is time to really wrestle.
Zhang Huitong was naturally happy when he learned that Jiang Ruiyun was in place. He had already started to build the set, and he monopolized the 8,000-square-meter studio in Nanying Studio. This old man who is over 60 years old does everything by himself, watching the designer's construction in person on the set.
Shi'an visited him a few times, and Zhang Huitong was a little distressed, "Our culture doesn't keep things. I couldn't find a desk in a Kuomintang office, and I couldn't find a cup. I was doing plays in the 1960s abroad. , you can find anything you want. In China, you may not be able to find anything from ten years ago.”
The location also encountered the same problem. Li Nian ran around, won the support of the Municipal Administration of Cultural Relics, and agreed that the film crew should take on-site shooting without damaging the original building.
This is thanks to Xu Zhiliu's favor. If Hailong hadn't supported the construction of the old city and the restoration of cultural relics, the Bureau of Cultural Affairs would not have given Anlong this face.
Nanjing has made great efforts to preserve its architectural cultural heritage. Not only the scenic spots, but also many residential houses have been preserved. The entire street of Ninghai Road is a relic of the Republic of China.
In theory, it seems ideal.
But when it comes to framing the scene, some deliberate old-fashioned and out-of-the-world innovations are like ugly scars in the lens, making it difficult for the scene to escape the embarrassment of people talking about the past.
Zhang Huitong was caught in a dilemma. It was obviously impossible to rebuild, and it would cost a lot of money to rebuild it elsewhere. Li Nian proposed to use CG for post-processing, but Zhang Huitong disagreed.
"Weather and light can be solved with technology. If you rely on computer technology for things like scenery, the effect is very fake. The biggest problem now is that we don't know what it is like. Even if you want to use a computer to process it, If you paint a tiger like a cat, there must be a tiger first.”
Although these sensitive artists cannot clearly point out where there are deviations in the remaining buildings, they can intuitively feel that deviations exist.
Zhang Huitong was very sad, "Oh, I also thought about it at the beginning, there will be this problem. It is rare to have a good script and good actors, but it turned out to be a wall in the setting."
These problems cannot be solved by Shi An and Li Nian. Only professional people can handle professional matters, and all they can provide is money.
Li Nian almost wiped out Anlong's family fortune, temporarily satisfying Zhang Huitong's needs for setting the scene in advance.
Shi'an heard Zhang Huitong say that the details were difficult to handle, but at first he didn't think he could play a big role, and only chatted with Zhang Dao. The two accidentally talked about some things from the past. When Zhang Huitong asked, he would answer truthfully. Sometimes when the designer brought the drawings, he would just mention a few words.
"Actually, there are some westernized parts. What is preserved is not the later reconstruction. In my impression, it was originally like that."
Shi'an recalled, and casually drew on the paper the appearance of the small house on Rongzhuang Street in his memory. I also recalled many details of those years.
"At that time, I remember that Liu Jiwen was the mayor. He liked to take pictures very much. There were many photos in his home. But the one hanging in the main hall was not a photo, but a portrait painted by a painter surnamed Li. In those two years, this painter became very famous in Nanjing, and famous people invited him to be their guests, imitating Liu Jiwen, and hanging a portrait of the master in the main hall."
Later generations speculated that what the predecessors saw in person was two different things. Zhang Huitong didn't take it seriously at first, but after several times, Shi'an said it firmly, as if it was true, and the creators searched for information in the direction he vaguely pointed out.
It matches once, matches twice, and all the places Shian pointed out match.
This can no longer be called a coincidence. Zhang Huitong was quite surprised and overjoyed.
"Where did you see this? I need this information."
Shi'an was a little embarrassed. He couldn't tell Zhang Huitong that he was from 1930, so he could only say, "My grandfather told me that. He has passed away."
Zhang Huitong didn't force him, but only praised him endlessly: "Shi'an, you are young, and you have a very thorough understanding of the history of the Republic of China. With you here, the quality of this movie can be issued as a military order."
He became happy, and stopped calling Shi'an "Little Jin", and called him by his name as affectionately as Shan Qici. Li Nian shook his head, "You only attract middle-aged and elderly fans, to be honest, Chairman Jin, I suddenly discovered that you speak in the same way as these people in their fifties and sixties, there is almost no generation gap. "
Shi'an didn't speak, just watched Zhang Huitong come and go on the set.
The set built up bit by bit, seemed to be threaded together inextricably from his past time. He forgot about them, dusted them up, and kept them stacked in his heart.
And Zhang Huitong unfolded this old dream again.
In the middle of the night, Shi'an was still watching the set plan for Zhang Huitong. Bai Yang lay on his shoulders, "Jin Shi'an, you are really amazing."
Shi'an laughed out loud, "Why are you flattering me all of a sudden?"
Bai Yang hangs on him, "I feel like you know everything, you can do everything. Is there anything you don't know?"
Shi'an smiled and pondered, is there anything he doesn't know? No, it should be said, what exactly does he know? In the past thirty years of his life, he didn't seem to live for himself, maybe for Jin Zhongming, maybe for Lu Sheng, maybe just because many people needed him, here he wanted fame, there wanted profit, even when he wrote At the moment of this script, he never felt that he had much merit.
It seemed that in his past life, he had nothing to say to himself, and when he looked back, there was nothing but sadness.
But now all this seems to make sense, his past, his experience, everything he knows, he wants to say and write it down, so he has so many things to write.
He was originally a part of history, and everyone in this world was originally a part of history. He took the history with him, skipped a lot of time, and saw Bai Yang again.
Shi'an suddenly felt that he came to this era involuntarily, was it just to meet this person on his shoulder
He turned back to look at Bai Yang, with an extraordinarily gentle expression, put down the things in his hands, and stroked Bai Yang's face.
"Yang Yang, why didn't I see you earlier, you won't suffer so much grievance."
The words were so thoughtless that Bai Yang's ears turned red for a moment.
He felt slapped in the face by himself, as soon as he said that Jin Shi'an knew everything, Jin Shi'an started to lose his mind on the spot. He doesn't feel wronged! It is true that in the past he always got into trouble, bumped into walls all the time, and even got acquainted with scum like Li Jin, but these are not important now.
When people have real hope and sustenance in their hearts, then any hardships in the past will become evidence of today's happiness.
If you don't fall, you won't understand that getting up is a good thing.
Even if Jin Shi'an came later, Bai Yang felt that he was the luckiest person in his life. It's just that he was embarrassed to say this sentence.
He knew that he was a real idiot, he was too embarrassed to talk about love, but he was too embarrassed to meet Shi An's face and kiss him briefly and tenderly.
