Chapter 174 Four Questions
Gu Ao made his talk and finally left with satisfaction.
After that, I still thanked me so much that I left my contact information to Gu Ao:
"Brother Gu, in the future, whenever your people look like they are on Qiantang, don't be polite, just call me and tell me. If you entertain distinguished guests, I promise to seal the garden and treat the state guests, and serve you with decent decent conditions. What kind of guest wants to stay in a top guesthouse, say hello at any time."
After Director Qiu left, the two female section chiefs in charge on the scene still treated Gu Ao as if he were godly.
"Chief, you've been chatting for so long and you're hungry. Do you want to pass on the meal? There is a chef from the state banquet in the guesthouse next door."
"This... just go a little bit, you'll be busy with your own things later, I'll talk to my friends." Gu Ao probably said this to Qiu Qing, so he didn't refuse.
Qiu Qing should have a very eye-catching look. He knew that Gu Ao was here to visit his friend today. If he stayed to treat him, Gu Ao would probably not be able to say private words. That's why he left in a pretense of official business and asked his subordinates to leave a banquet. Gu Ao and others used it slowly.
After sending the beautiful waiter away, Gu Ao was free and said a few final explanations to Li Lianjie and Director Yuan, and then patted Li Lianjie's arm:
"Do work hard, don't be afraid of being tired after you are young. After filming here, you will get familiar with the script of "Terminator". After New Year's Day, you will be on stage soon."
"Brother Gu, don't worry! If it weren't for your cultivation, I wouldn't be qualified to go to the United States to make movies. We Chinese have worked hard for so many years, and only two brothers, Bruce Lee and Cheng Long, have arrived in Hollywood. I know how precious this opportunity is!" Li Lianjie didn't get the opportunity to show his loyalty all day, so he naturally poured out with good words and no money.
"Okay, I look at performance, not verbal."
As he spoke, there was a whole table of good food on the other end. On the crew, I also finished work early today and put the lunch box on it.
In order to prevent other staff from being resentful, today, everyone who eats boxed lunches also has two extra meat dishes. It should be when Qiu Qing came here just now, so he secretly prepared it.
So Gu Ao took his horse-boy to a feast, and no one had any objections.
...
The next two days, Gu Ao's experience in Qiantang was not much better.
He couldn't help but feel resentful. His father sent too many invitations, which actually alarmed so many people to secretly make friends.
But it is normal to think about it. After all, although there are many people at the county level or even higher level in Qiantang City, Gu Ao's age is there, and no one will examine it according to his true treatment.
After visiting his friend for two days with Xiao Sui, he had to give up this kind of life, stayed up and wrote poems alone in the house, or rode a bicycle secretly, so that Xiao Sui could learn from the original, and went out to play on the backpack shelf. There was no way, his Mercedes-Benz 770 was too eye-catching, and the only one in this car in China is now used as a prop for "Hujiangtan" and lived as a car of "Feng Jingyao".
Gu Ao drove out to play in less than two hours, and everyone who wanted to find him knew where he was.
Fortunately, Xiao Sui is a literary young woman who is full of love and drinks water. Instead, she feels that her husband is so promising, and she rides a bicycle to send her away. Her inner happiness is so bubbling, and she is very harmonious between reciting poems and writing poems.
In his spare time, Xiao Sui also asked about the arrangements Gu Ao mentioned that day.
"You said "The Legend of the White Snake" will be completely demolished and turned into a TV series. Do you want me to write the script for you?" Xiao Sui had already helped Gu Ao write two scripts, and she felt that this was natural.
What's more, this is her main job. In addition to helping Gu Ao, she occasionally contributes to the studio where her mother works, and in terms of screenwriters, she has become a skilled worker.
Gu Ao was more cautious about this issue: "It requires someone to write it, but this is not suitable for you. You have to find a more vulgar and bloody romance writer to write it. After all, I can't give you a story outline this time, and you have to think about it yourself and adapt it."
He knew that his girlfriend's current writing talent was still not suitable for those who were a bit of Qiong Yao's bloody romance. If she couldn't let go of her figure, she always had to reflect some practical significance.
A talented article is to follow the circumstances, while a top scholar’s article is to set the topic.
Gu Ao himself didn't watch "The Legend of the White Snake" much in his previous life. He basically never watched it after graduating from elementary school. He had long forgotten the detailed plot, and only knew which characters were played by roughly who played it.
This is the normal situation, because he is a man.
A big man likes to watch movies about fighting and killing. He still returns to the video website to review the "Hujiangtan" after going to high school. That is accustomed to it.
If a big man still misses "The Legend of the New White Snake" and goes back to review in the video website era, then there is something wrong with the orientation.
"I don't care, I'll try it! I'm a literary person who is by your side and can no longer help you do anything. If I can't even share this, I look down on myself! I must challenge it! Give me a chance!"
Xiao Sui couldn't help but act coquettishly and always wore Gu Ao. This was also a catharsis for her to prove her emotional bond.
"Okay, okay, then you just write it, but I don't promise to use it - otherwise, I will roughly choose what kind of person the character wants to play, tell you, you can develop the plot yourself and add characters."
After all, Gu Ao still remembers that the most eye-catching feature of the Wanwan version of "The Legend of the New White Snake" in history is the interpretation method of "Lily Dafa".
The first time women played the male lead really shocked the audience at that time and attracted a lot of attention.
But this is not a vulgarity, because "The Legend of the White Snake" was originally performed by Yue Opera and Huangmei Opera the most in traditional literature.
Yue Opera, a local opera form in Wuyue Province, has always had a tradition of using actresses - even male roles are played by women.
It’s the same as using men to play the role of a female role in Peking Opera. Mr. Mei Lanfang has never become a master of the generation.
Therefore, the cross-dressing of "The Legend of the White Snake" is not only not a spoof, but can be said to be a tribute to traditional culture.
It is both eye-catching, beautiful and aesthetic, and a tip for traditional culture. It doesn’t need to be used in vain.
"I plan to act with Sister Zhi, who I worked with in "Hujiangtan". Now that "Hujiangtan" is so popular, Zhao Yazhi's image aesthetic is the highest in China and can maximize the popularity. As for Hong Kong, Taiwan and Nanyang, "Hujiangtan" is also popular, so it is the same..."
Gu Ao first said the female lead without any suspense.
After all, although "The Legend of the White Snake" in history is also a classic, with high popularity and replay rate, it cannot be compared with "Hujiangtan". Now that it is filmed ten years in advance, why not get the popularity of celebrities who can get the popularity of the stars?
However, when it comes to the male lead, he hesitated.
He remembered that the leading male lead in history was Ye Tong, and the actress later played Zhao Min in the Taiwanese version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
However, Ye Tong should still be very young now, right? A girl under 20 years old has no acting foundation at all, so how can she play a good man?
Fortunately, Gu Ao has watched some variety shows and interviews in the entertainment industry in his previous life.
He vaguely remembered that a reporter interviewed the director of the show, "Why did he think of using two women to play the creative idea of a man and a woman", and the director seemed to answer this:
"Because the previous year, I happened to see the movie "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: The Oriental Unbeaten" starring Lin Qingxia and Li Lianjie. I was deeply inspired by the styling design. I just couldn't invite a big name like Lin Qingxia to act in a TV series, and I used a newcomer who was okay with a man's makeup."
After all, although Zhao Yazhi is also famous, she has always acted in TV series. Lin Qingxia in the early 1990s was a long-standing movie star and basically looked down on TV.
As soon as he thought about this, Gu Ao knew it in his heart.
Since Ye Tong in history just couldn't invite Lin Qingxia to choose the second best choice, he would just invite Lin Qingxia now.
It was 10 years ahead of schedule. Lin Qingxia is not as expensive as that, so she can still be invited to act in a TV series.
As for the problem that the other party is a Wanwan person, let my cousin and other Wanwan forces find ways to solve it. The Wanwan star has never played roles in Hong Kong films, and even if it is filmed in the mainland, it is no big deal.
"I have also thought about the male lead. I think Lin Qingxia is more suitable. I will ask someone to find a few photos of her male makeup and dress up for you. You can write a romance drama according to this character."
"Ask a woman to play the male lead?" Xiao Sui was indeed shocked and subconsciously thought that Gu Ao wanted to be a female star.
Although she didn't want to care about Gu Ao, she believed that Gu Ao only had spiritual communication with her.
"This makes sense, because "The Legend of the White Snake" is a classic Yue Opera. We are paying tribute to traditional culture and attracting attention..." Gu Ao couldn't patiently repeat all the considerations he had just thought of.
Finally convinced my girlfriend.
"If this is the case, it's quite challenging. It's exciting to think about it. Let me give it a try."
Gu Ao thought about it and finally added: "If you have the opportunity, I will ask someone to write a few more theme songs and set the style tone. You can also listen to it frequently and experience what I want."
Although the plot of "The Legend of the New White Snake" is blurry, Gu Ao still remembers some of the most famous theme tunes.
At worst, after returning to the capital, he would ask Ren Yuqin to use the stupid method he used when he wrote "Iron Blood and Danxin" and hummed it privately, asking Ren Yuqin to reversely record the score and edit it.
It has to be admitted that in the mid-to-early 1990s, although Wanwan's film and television level was not very good, the film and television music really had a small climax.
Although composers such as Xiao Chong and Zhan Hongda are not as good as the masters of Xiangjiang, Huang and Hu, they also made Richie Richie famous and created "Love the Country and Love the Beauty", "Swords and the Rivers and Lakes" (all theme songs of the Heavenly Heaven), "New Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly Dreams" (Bao Qingtian), and a series of songs by Xinbai.
It’s a pity that they are still too young, so they must not be able to write works from their peak later.
...
This has been in love for several days.
It was already Christmas, and it was the day when the Gu family officially went to the exhibition hotel to hold a banquet.
My father is still relatively low-key and only invites guests who are in contact with work. The highest is Deputy Mayor Yuan, who is in charge of economic work in the city, and Director Zhong, of the Provincial Department of Industry.
Most of the others are the top leaders of large state-owned enterprises in the city, and there are only six tables in the cafeteria, which is quite private. In addition, there are several large round tables with flowing water in the lobby outside for the drivers to eat.
As for Director Qiu and others of the Tourism Bureau, Gu Ao also added an invitation. After all, it is not easy to be rude if he has a friendship.
"I wish Comrade Xiao Gu a bright future. You are the closed disciple of Your Excellency Kissinger, and your future is limitless. This small place in Qiantang cannot keep you anymore. I just hope that Comrade Xiao Gu will drink water and think about his source, and will also think about making more contributions to his hometown in the future."
As the highest-level present, Vice Mayor Yuan took the lead in to toasting first.
He and Director Zhong were the master seat at the first table, and the Gu family and his son were accompanying him.
Because the administrative level is higher than Gu Ao, neither the mayor nor the director will be compared with Gu Ao's official position, and only calls him "Comrade Xiao Gu".
This is also a customary rule in the officialdom: if you meet someone who is lower in the grade than you, but who is too young to be inferior to you, and in the future, you will often call this better.
"Mayor Yuan is polite. I am young and ignorant. I will learn more with everyone if I have the opportunity in the future."
Gu Ao answered very appropriately and drank the wine. Such words were polite in other people's ears, but he really gave the toast to the person who was toast - not everyone was qualified to regard himself as a "classmate" who "learned with each other".
The atmosphere in the venue was a little subtle for a moment, and the mayor and director seemed to have drunk a little in advance, and were very excited.
In the end, Gu Ao was fed three bottles, but Xiao Sui helped him back. He was simply cheated on his son by his father.
Fortunately, his family was prepared. On the grounds that Gu Ao wanted to study abroad, he exchanged the banquet for more Western styles. He drank red wine. He didn't have any problems after eating three large bottles. If it were three kilograms of white wine, it would probably take several days to break out.
The officials at that time were obviously not suitable for red wine and they didn't drink much, which invisibly limited their alcohol use.
Even some municipal bureau-level leaders do not have the opportunity to eat and drink, so everyone is completely supportive from the bottom of their hearts. It is not the kind of wine party that 20 or 30 years later. In fact, I have been tired of eating it. It is just to attract friends and make it difficult to get away.
To be a joke outside the venue, all the guests tonight have a great awareness of the cooperative-level diners thirty years later:
When the cadres in the commission heard that there was a dinner party, they would ask "who should I eat with";
The cadres in the palace asked, "What's the matter?"
The cadres in the meeting asked “Where to eat”;
Only those who are the least present in the association ask “what to eat”.
And tonight, it was obvious that everyone had obtained a huge noodle dish from "Who to eat with", but was also satisfied by the style of the exhibition hotel, and finally was pleased by the deliciousness of the top-notch restaurants.
Only without asking "what to do", it can be said to be relaxed and happy, and it is unprofitable and the most pure.
"You are not allowed to socialize like this in the future! We are not begging others to drink people like this!" Xiao Sui struggled to put Gu Ao back on the bed, feeling very distressed.
"Brother is wrong, I won't know what to do in the future..."
