1980 My Entertainment Era
Chapter 410 Deng Jie: Do you care?
Chapter 410 Deng Jie: Do you care?
Since it’s going so smoothly and we still have plenty of time, I might as well record two background music tracks as well.
One is “Memories of the Forbidden City” and the other is “A Distant Journey”.
Adding the two interludes “Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth” and “Light”, and working on the soundtrack, I have completed part of the work.
……
I called Hong Kong in the evening. Xia Tian talked to A Rong first. From what he said, he was not far from going crazy!
Ah Rong cried, “Wong Kar-wai is simply a torturer! When I make his movies again, I will be that person…”
Xia Tian: What a pity, the landline phone doesn’t have a recording function!
What does the director Sunglasses King say?
A great director who is recognized internationally must have something.
But from an actor’s perspective, Xia Tian doesn’t like him.
King of Sunglasses likes to use actors who are famous and have good acting skills, but he does not want to utilize the experience and abilities of these actors. Instead, he wants to only keep their outer shell and break their insides and rebuild them!
The benefits to himself are obvious. He can not only take advantage of the fame and superior appearance of these actors, but also fully express his own artistic understanding.
But for these actors themselves, they can become superstars by relying on the experience and abilities they have learned with great difficulty. But every time they shoot a movie with King of Sunglasses, they have to be reshaped by him, and in the end they are no longer themselves!
Those superstars were turned into disposable items. The better ones were able to find their original rhythm after leaving Wong Kar-wai, but the worse ones were unable to recover and were devastated.
Of course, there are also those who break out of their cocoons and are reborn to find a new direction.
In general, the stronger the actor’s previous self was, the harder it would be to rebuild it after it was broken; the weaker the previous self was, the more likely it would be to benefit from accepting this kind of breaking and rebuilding.
So after being tortured by the King of Sunglasses, the unenlightened Zhang Manyu suddenly had an epiphany and won many awards.
Liang Jiahui, who has already established his own style, will struggle in confusion and resistance when faced with such a disruption.
The worst thing is that a spiritual player like Arong is extremely sensitive, and accepting this kind of reshaping is extremely painful and hurtful. After realizing this situation, he had to refuse this kind of “cooperation” even for the sake of self-protection.
If you break things down and reassemble them too often, your spirit won’t be able to bear it.
In fact, it is not these famous superstars who are most suitable for the King of Sunglasses.
He should find some amateurs with good looks but little acting experience and train them from scratch.
This will not only produce better results, but will also help these amateurs get into the state faster and even become real stars.
For example, Zhang Yimou likes to use newcomers, even amateurs!
The King of Sunglasses is forcing people to cut their feet to fit their shoes. It is really too much to ruin their ability to walk in the future just for your pair of shoes.
……
After comforting Arong, Xia Tian then called Aying and Wang Fei – although Xia Tian had left, Wang Fei still lived with Aying in the Repulse Bay Villa and only went home occasionally.
The king’s father has now begun to deeply reflect on the evils of capitalist society!
If it was in the mainland, I would call the police to arrest him! But if I call the police in Hong Kong, the police officer will come and say “Hello, Tian Er brother~”
In the summer, I chatted with them on the phone for a long time and comforted them at the same time.
I also sang the latest album songs for them…
Especially the song “Red Rose and White Rose”.
As a result, as soon as he put down the phone, he saw Xiaoxu possessed by Daiyu, sitting dignifiedly on a large sofa beside him, holding a teacup like a lady from a noble family.
“Hey~ Are you done with your phone call? You sang well~”
Xia Tian sat over, first took the teacup and placed it on the coffee table, then threw it over – now it’s your turn to sing~
……
Xia Tian, Dachun, Pants, Zhao Baogang, Deng Jie…all the acquaintances were transferred over to help.
Including the dozen or so people arranged by the station, the entire crew consists of about twenty people.
“I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City” officially started filming!
The program is tentatively scheduled to last two hours, with two themes: one is the Forbidden City and the other is the restoration of cultural relics.
The exterior and interior scenes, as well as the process of the master craftsman repairing the cultural relics, and the history and humanity behind them…
The scenery of the Forbidden City is simple, but the cultural relics restoration made Xia Tian have a lot of choices – there are too many types and quantities!
Now I know that I will take pictures of these people who are quietly repairing cultural relics in this secluded courtyard in the summer. These old men are so enthusiastic~
Xia Tian: Old man, please return to your attitude when you said I was taken advantage of.
Finally, we have to record a music video. For example, in the song “Light”, Xia Tian walks out of the Golden Throne Hall, also known as the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then films footage of her walking in the Forbidden City.
“Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth” tries to capture the panoramic view of the Forbidden City from above!
Unfortunately, there are no drones these days. As for using a helicopter to shoot… How about I ask? !
Of course, this type of program ultimately has to focus on cultural connotations, so narration and lines are very important.
Xia Tian wrote the letter himself, and Da Chun and Pants helped him write.
“The cultural relics scattered across China and stored in museums are witnesses to the Chinese nation’s endless vitality and the material embodiment of the long history of Chinese civilization.”
“History books are too small to contain a person’s magnificent life, but they are too big to contain the five thousand years of Chinese history. In a history book, the page you flip through and the content you write on may very well be their life…”
“In six thousand years, it seems as if in an instant, the village became a country, the symbol became a poem, and the call became a song.”
“Life is unpredictable and will eventually fade, but the pursuit of eternity and splendor in the face of impermanence is preserved in our cultural memory.”
“I can’t see my homeland anymore, but when I look up, I see the same starry sky.”
“Choose one thing for the rest of your life…”
……
Because the leader of the audio-visual company was waiting for the results, the summer of 1990 was rushed out. The factory worked overtime to produce the tapes, and spared no effort in publicity. It can be seen that the leader was in a hurry~
So, when they spent two weeks in the summer filming “I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City”, this album tape was ready to be released!
In order to promote the product, we chose to sell it on the same day as the show airs next Sunday.
Although a two-hour film doesn’t produce much, it was quite hard work to finish it in two weeks.
This is all thanks to Xia Tian, who had a plan in mind and wanted the desired effect, otherwise it would have taken at least a month to come.
At this time, “Traveling Through China” has already been broadcast on CCTV!
The response was very good. Although it did not cause a nationwide sensation like “A Bite of China”, it was still praised by countless audiences.
Moreover, the ratings were very high right from the start, and the replay the next day also had high ratings.
“Travels Through China” is three hours long and is divided into six episodes, one for each day.
Only the fourth episode has been aired, and many viewers have already called CCTV, asking Xia Tian to visit them.
And Director Ding of Liuwei Car also called to announce the good news – it was a blast! Orders were flying in like pieces of paper!
In Xia Tian’s heart, this program will be filmed again ten years later, twenty years later, and finally three or even four times, which will become a microcosm of the road that the reform and opening up has taken in the past few decades, an image, a piece of information, and a memory!
……
“I have to follow Brother Tianer to make it comfortable! The filming of the show was so smooth, even the weather was very suitable, and there was no need to wait for the light!”
“Sometimes when we’re shooting movies or TV series, it’s either windy or rainy, or the props are broken or the equipment doesn’t work. It’s so frustrating!”
This is considered the “wrapping party” of “I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City”.
Summer money~
When Pants drinks a little wine, he habitually starts to flatter Xia Tian – when Xia Tian is not around, he plays the dialect or Ma Dudu, anyone will do, he has to flatter one anyway!
Everyone was used to his ailment and they were all talking and laughing, eating and drinking – after all, it was summer and people were willing to spend money!
This meal for thirty people must cost more than 2,000 yuan? !
Speaking of which, I have always wanted to support He Yuzhu in opening a restaurant, but his work seems to be not going well recently, and he quarrels with the manager every day.
Well, I can consider it. At least it will be more convenient for me to eat in the future.
At this time, Xia Tian started talking to Deng Jie.
When filming the show, she often made fun of Xia Tian – it seemed that when Xia Tian was not around last year, she went to find Milan Xiaoxu, and ended up hearing from Milan about Xia Tian’s “scandal” in Hong Kong.
Milan has her own reasoning: What do you know? This is desensitization training~ She got used to it after taking off her clothes~
Now at the banquet, everyone has almost finished drinking. She can drink quite a lot, much better than Xia Tian.
At this time, Deng Jie’s face turned slightly red, her eyes moved, and she brought up the matter again in a low voice.
Dachun and Pants knew about this vaguely, but it was not real – Dachun did not care, after all, he had known Xia Tian since childhood, and he had seen too many passionate little girls; and Pants did not dare to mention it, but was extremely envious in his heart.
——After all, everyone is considered a member of the entertainment industry. You can’t see it on paper, but you can hear some rumors verbally.
There’s no such thing as something airtight in this place.
If you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it. Just make sure no one mentions it on paper.
At this time, Deng Jie brought it up again, saying how good Milan was, how good Xiaoxu was, how good Zhang Li was, and how you were such a scumbag…you didn’t know how to cherish them at all.
That attitude, as if she was the victim…
Xia Tian had no choice but to change the subject.
“Sister, I heard that Zhang Guoli, the guy who filmed “The Troublemakers”, has always admired you! Have you ever…”
As a result, before Xia Tian finished speaking, Deng Jie became anxious!
With a glare on her face, she said, “Don’t mention him. I’m tired of him!”
Xia Tian: Huh?! I didn’t say anything!
“Isn’t Zhang Guoli doing well?”
Deng Jie rolled her eyes: “Still talking? Do you care?”
Wow, I succeeded in changing the subject, but got a few cold stares.
Xia Tian was still crying out in injustice, and later the person involved, Zhang Guoli, felt even more wronged – how come he was just polite and distant to him before, but now he is avoiding him?! I didn’t do anything, right?
I’m getting a divorce! I really mean it!
Xia Tian also heard something at the banquet.
Aren’t the Asian Games going to be held this year?
Lao Cui’s team finally convinced the Asian Games Organizing Committee and obtained approval to use the “Asian Games Tour” to raise funds for the Asian Games. However, the tour was aborted halfway through – this month.
(delete)
After that, Lao Cui’s performances in Yanjing could not be approved, and performance organizers from all over the country also waited and watched, not daring to invite him.
Pants at the table also asked Xia Tian if he had any work in May, and said that the sad drama that Xia Tian had proposed at the Haima Creative Center was about to start filming.
If you have nothing else, why not join their crew?
Xia Tian asked, “What’s the name of the TV series?”
“”eager”!”
Sure enough, it’s you!
Unfortunately, I definitely won’t be able to go next month in the summer.
“I have something to do next month. I have to go abroad.”
When everyone heard this, they asked, “Why are you going abroad?”
Xia Tian smiled and said, “It’s nothing big, I’ll go to Cannes…”
