Chapter 89 "Tai Chi" training class (first order requested)
Night, room 302.
Chen Qi counted the small stack of money twice and arranged it on the table in front of Liang Xiaosheng like a capitalist.
"The second half of "The Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs" has a manuscript fee of 175. We agreed that each person will get half of it. If we get lucky, I''ll give you 88!"
"This, this is only 88 yuan?"
Liang Xiaosheng was surprised and a little embarrassed. Chen Qi put the money into his pocket and said with a smile: "Take it, my brother will settle the score, you deserve it!"
"Oh, it turns out that writing popular novels is so profitable!"
He sighed and then shook his head: "No, no, it''s your popular novels that make money. I heard that the circulation of "Story Club" has exceeded 400,000, so they are willing to pay first-class royalties."
Liang Xiaosheng spent about 20 days writing this thing. He didn''t use his brain very much, but mainly tired his hands. As a result, he earned two months'' salary. But when he writes serious novels, he racks his brains and writes one article a year for only two to three hundred yuan at most. The efficiency is different.
"You know I''m very busy at this time, so I took the time to make another outline and character settings. If you don''t mind, we can collaborate on another one."
"It''s okay, it''s okay!"
Liang Xiaosheng took it and took a look. The name was "Wudang".
Unexpectedly, it has a female protagonist. It tells the story of the late Qing Dynasty, when Japanese warriors challenged the heroine''s father to a ring and was assassinated. The heroine went through untold hardships, learned Wudang''s unique skills, and took revenge on the Japanese Japs.
After "Shaolin Temple" set off a craze for martial arts films in the 1980s, a number of films of the same type emerged. "Wu-Tang" is one of them, produced by Changying Film Studio. It had very good results at the time, but its presence was not very strong, and it was rarely seen in later generations. mentioned.
In order to earn royalties, Chen Qi plans to read all these martial arts films until he can publish his own magazine. When the craze for martial arts movies hits, he can wholesale the scripts and sell them to studios across the country, earning another fortune.
This is called eating two fish.
"Old Liang, you have extra income now. Don''t send all the money home. Keep some money for yourself as a wife."
"My wife, Ben? I''m 31 years old. Do you think I can still have a wife?"
Liang Xiaosheng sighed and left.
In this life, unless it is hanging on the wall, a man will miss women at any stage, especially this kind of old bachelor. The older he gets, the more turbulent he becomes. In some rural areas, there are examples of old bachelors finally living together.
Chen Qi was happy. He remembered that he was married and had a child. His wife was virtuous and beautiful, and good days were ahead.
Not long after Liang Xiaosheng left, Li Wenhua came in and also sighed: "The actors in the factory are unwilling to teach. They either say they don''t have time, they say they don''t have the ability, or they simply don''t want to come. It''s true that a big tree attracts trouble."
"How about hiring a teacher from Nortel?"
"It''s expensive and troublesome, so save it if you can."
"How about I give it a try? I''ve read some miscellaneous books and know a little bit about acting."
"you?"
Li Wenhua looked at him suspiciously and said helplessly: "Then try for a day. If it doesn''t work, I''ll look for you again."
"Then let''s divide the work. You''ll do half a day, I''ll do half day, and I''ll prepare lessons tonight."
…
The next day, morning.
The cafeteria of Beijing Film Studio is usually the busiest place. The crew and single young people come here every day and enjoy eating. They are chattering everywhere, talking about film reform.
With the introduction of the New Deal, the budget of a film can reach up to 1.08 million. Which director thinks there is too much money? Everyone is busy applying.
"Squeak!"
As the door was pushed open, the sounds inside suddenly became quieter, and then became quiet. Countless eyes stared at the door, as if they were looking at some incredible sight.
Chen Qi and Li Wenhua were in the middle, with Yu Hai, Yu Chenghui, Wang Qun, and Li Lianlian lined up on the left and right. Behind them were Sun Jiankui, Hu Jianqiang, and others, and even a powerful Inner Mongolian man.
Each one''s eyes were gleaming and their aura was overwhelming.
What ruffians, unscrupulous traders, petty thieves, and rare items that have been produced for thousands of years are all in it.
"..." Everyone looked at the group of people coming in and queuing up to get food, and couldn''t help but whisper again.
"This is the crew of "Tai Chi"? What kind of nonsense is this?"
"Look at that bearded man with a half-shaved head and no hair. Does he think he is an ancient ranger?"
"Hey, that little Heitan, did he crawl out of the coal kiln just now?"
And suddenly, everyone fell silent again because Ji Chunhua ran in.
This image of him has a bald head, no eyebrows, ferocious triangular eyes that glare at everyone, protruding brows, and a face full of flesh. Compared with him, those in front of him are all normal humans.
"Xiaji, why are you here?"
"I''m a little lost, sorry, sorry!"
"Be on time from now on, don''t fall behind."
Chen Qi, who was one year older than him, touched Ji Chunhua''s bald head. Ji Chunhua opened his mouth and laughed happily.
The crowd was stunned. Damn it, he dared to touch his head!
Chen Qi finished his meal, glanced around, caught Gong Xue, sat down and said, "You also have to come to the training. Although you are considered an old actor in the group, you have to participate in group activities."
"I didn''t say not to go. Do you want to give a lecture today?"
"Lecture this afternoon."
"Then I have to listen carefully. I like to listen to your drama the most."
After Gong Xue got the heroine, her attitude towards him became a little closer. It''s not that she was only profit-seeking, who doesn''t pursue profits? It''s just that you have to spend some money to chase women, and you need to be skillful.
Flowers that are just right are called masters. Flower transfer notes with "voluntary gift" are called boiling sheep. Listening to the goddess being **** on the phone makes the man feel distressed and ask him to be gentle...
…
A temporarily unused studio serves as a teaching venue.
Li Wenhua was still hesitant. He specially brought a camera and placed it next to everyone. The dark lens was pointed at them and the camera was not turned on to let them adapt.
Because the first problem of non-professional actors is that they can''t help but look at the camera.
He made a small blackboard and explained to everyone how to position, what lighting is, the specific shooting process, etc. Li Lianlian also kept a small notebook to take notes, looking diligent and studious.
In the blink of an eye, it’s afternoon, Chen Qi’s class.
Li Wenhua sat down below, and Zhang Xinyan also came here specially. He wanted to see if this kid was bragging.
"Let me formally introduce myself first..."
I saw Chen Qi standing in front, with a calm attitude and a strong sense of confidence rising from the bottom of his heart. He said: "I am the screenwriter of "Tai Chi" and also a planner. What does planning mean? It means that I can mix in everything. .
I''m here to give you acting lessons, and try to help you master the most basic skills in the shortest possible time. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone below cast doubtful glances.
We don’t know much about this young man, except that he is busy and can be seen everywhere. Will he take acting classes again? He is only 20 years old, right, and he becomes our teacher?
The older ones are deep and have doubts, which are not apparent on the surface.
Li Lianjie, however, dared to say anything and immediately said: "Teacher Chen, have you ever acted?"
"No!"
"Then how do you teach us? What would we do without a church?"
"Then I have to ask you to cooperate. Come on, come up..."
Chen Qi waved him over, but Li Lianjie was not afraid. He straightened his clothes and walked forward happily.
