1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 610 Director Wu, can you give me a few more shots

If people were hired according to the high standards set by Zhu Lin, it would be impossible to find suitable candidates within a few months.

The requirements are a bit high, but this is also a decision made after overall consideration.

Today's Luo family is no longer an ordinary family, and it is impossible to just find a few people. The people hired will be considered to represent the Luo family from now on.

If there are no rules and standards, it really won't work.

It's actually not that difficult to hire people, and there are quite a few people who agree to this request. Even if the conditions are a little higher, there are still plenty of people. After all, the Luo family pays a lot of money.

The reason why we haven't found anyone in the past few months this year is partly due to the requirement to hire people, but this is secondary. The most important thing is that a few old people don't really want to spend the money and have always been opposed to it.

In addition, there are other things, such as this thing today and that thing tomorrow. As soon as this thing is solved, that thing will follow. In just a few months, half of the time is wasted on these things. .

Today, I originally wanted to ask about the Winter Solstice Hall Meeting in a few days, but I just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected delivery, which made Luo Tao overjoyed.

"Is that why you came here today to talk to us about this?" Mr. Jin took a sip of fragrant tea.

Luo Tao smiled and said: "This is just one of them. There is also the winter solstice church meeting in a few days. I wonder what the two elders have prepared? Do you need help?"

In fact, this meeting does not require any preparation. It has been held for so many years, and everyone is familiar with the basic operating procedures.

First, we contacted the big names in Peking Opera who were attending the concert. Then, apart from cleaning the stage (painting the theater floor), we also set up tables, chairs and benches to wait for the concert to begin.

"Don't worry about this, Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhu have already arranged it.

There are still a few days before the winter solstice, so there is no rush to decorate now. Everything is ready-made. When the time comes, it will be enough to find a few people to come over. "

This is true. With these big guys here, there is no need for me to spend time on this matter. I just need to listen to the show when the time comes.

"Well, please pay more attention to this matter."

After chatting with them for a few words, Luo Tao ran to the greenhouse next door to look at the flowers and plants. He didn't go home until evening, after having dinner in the Orchid Garden.

A peaceful life just goes by so fast, and the winter solstice of [-] has arrived in a blink of an eye.

This year is different from previous years. There is a strange phenomenon this year, that is, all the old and the new. Some famous Peking opera masters brought their apprentices to participate in this hall.

Many of these young actors will be big actors on the Peking Opera stage in the future, but now they are just a group of small actors who have just emerged.

Some of them were Luo Tao's favorites before, such as Li Shengsu. Luo Tao in his previous life was also obsessed with beautiful Jiao'er, as well as Yan Xingpeng, Qiu Shaorong, Li Yangming, etc.

These are all good actors with strength and good looks!

I haven't seen him, but I've heard his name.

Of course, this year's Luo Tao is different from the Luo Tao of previous years. In the past, these people came to this winter solstice church party because of the face of their old mentors, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhu.

But this year is different, whether it is being interviewed by Wall Street, or what I did when I went south to Xiangjiang, or when I returned to Beijing and faced the extraordinary natural disasters in Menlang and other places...

One by one, these represent the improvement of Luo Tao's public status in the capital. At this time, he has achieved the goal of representing himself, rather than someone else's apprentice, student, or descendant.

Especially in the opera circle where seniority is highly ranked, the reason why Luo Tao will get rid of Mr. Zhang in the future is that he has gained a firm foothold in this circle.

No matter how famous he is, Luo Tao still has to act like a celebrity.

In Lanyuan, especially today at the Winter Solstice Hall, there is only Luo Tao, a celebrity, but not an entrepreneur.

As in previous years, he personally stood outside the gate of Orchid Garden to welcome the participating Peking Opera masters from nine o'clock in the morning.

The one who works as a doorman today is not only Luo Tao, but also Director Wu Tianming, who arrived early carrying a machine. That's right, Director Wu Da.

In previous years, Orchid Garden held a winter solstice church gathering, which was nothing more than organizing someone to take a camera and take pictures of everyone here and there.

This year is different. At the beginning of the year, Xichang formed a very scattered photography team to shoot documentaries.

There are conditions, and of course it cannot be wasted. After leaving Orchid Garden that day, Luo Tao found Director Wu the next day and discussed it, asking him to carry a machine to take pictures of the Winter Solstice Hall.

Director Wu was quite cheerful and agreed without even thinking.

For more than a year, he has been really happy. He doesn't have to spend money to eat anywhere in the capital. His originally dark and round body now eats more like Panpan.

The original Chang'an tune now has a bit of Beijing flavor.

This year, I said I came to Beijing to work, but in fact I came to the capital for tourism. The documentary shooting was ridiculously relaxing. I took seven or eight days off for a month of filming.

As for why he took such a long break, Luo Tao's reason was study.

This seemingly very reasonable operation can be done once, but not more often. Once it is repeated more times, it will not be difficult for people to see some meaning.

Slowly, Director Wu also got a taste of it, knowing that Luo Tao did this just to find an excuse to help him improve their family's current living conditions.

To be honest, Luo Tao didn’t think so much before shooting this food documentary, and he realized it only after the filming started.

Later, Luo Tao brought in several friends who were not very well off in life. Those who could write would write food copywriting, and those who couldn't would be the food planners for this documentary, planning the content that needed to be filmed in the future.

Just such a casual idea unexpectedly made the Xichang documentary shooting team professional and elite in advance.

It was a surprise to turn Shi Tiesheng's traditional writers into gourmet writers.

Broadcaster turned food blogger.

The painter stopped painting landscapes and started painting vegetables and soybeans.

They are indeed talents in today's society, and they are very natural about the change of their roles.To truly achieve that is to love one's profession. I heard that when they get together with friends, they don't talk about their majors and start talking about food.

In this regard, Luo Tao is very worried that they will become the first generation of foodies in New China.

All of them are in their middle age. When I think of seeing them again, they all become as fat as a rich man with his head holding the Mediterranean Sea. Oops!Thinking of this, Luo Tao couldn't suppress the high...sadness in his heart.

Just look at Director Wu now and you will know the current situation of that group of people.

Director Wu did not refuse Luo Tao's kindness, but accepted it calmly.

He was not good at words, so he kept in mind the care Luo Tao, his little brother, gave him.

He himself also knew that apart from making good documentaries, he could not help Luo Tao in any other way.

He is really serious about his work. In addition to learning documentary shooting techniques this year, he also read all the domestic books on food that can be bought in the market.

Director Wu is definitely a qualified food director now.This time he came to shoot the Winter Solstice Hall Meeting. Luo Tao opened his mouth. How could he refuse? He agreed without thinking.

Not to mention the other director of this documentary, Lao Mouzi. If nothing else, he is definitely a good director.

There is one episode that he directed solely, and it was so well shot that it feels like watching a movie. It is full of tricks and makes people want to stop. It can be said that it has broken the old stereotype of domestic documentary shooting.

He cleverly applied the lensing techniques of Western movies to documentaries. The effect was surprisingly good, but there was one drawback - it was too wasteful and expensive.

Fortunately, the Luo Tao family has a big business and can support their bold innovation in art.

Closer to home, let’s talk about the Winter Solstice Church Meeting.

"Director Wu, please remember to give me a few more shots today."

Knowing that everyone would bring their apprentices this year, Luo Tao also snatched his student Shen Zhi out of the campus to put on a face for himself.

You have apprentices, and I have students.What is your apprentice's degree?Anyway, my student is from Yuanmingyuan Vocational and Technical College.

Knowing that this year's Winter Solstice Hall will be made into a documentary, Shen Zhi is very concerned about it. Before the filming started, he ran to Director Wu to show his hospitality.

Passing cigarettes and pouring tea, there was no shortage of work all morning.

As a teacher, Luo Tao has never enjoyed this treatment a few times.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. If I forget to take a picture of anyone, I will never forget to take a picture of you." He was wearing thick gloves, holding the machine with one hand and holding the cigarette that Shenzhi handed him with the other.

He gave Shenzhi a reassuring look.

"Okay! As long as you always say this, it will be done." Shen Zhi smiled playfully and called Director Wu Haha.

Luo Tao on the side looked at the two men and immediately gave Xu Le a look. Otherwise, everyone would say that he was a roundworm in Luo Tao's belly. With just such a look, he immediately understood what Luo Tao meant.

He moved from Luo Tao's left to his right and quietly kicked Shen Zhi's back arm.

The age difference between the two of them is almost a few years, and they are very skilled at playing. Their relationship may be even greater than that of Luo Tao. After all, they are both young people and have common topics to talk about.

There is a ten-year age gap between Luo Tao and him. Another reason is that they are teachers and students. In the environment of respecting teachers, it is difficult for them to be buddies.

This is also the reason why Luo Tao wanted to kick Shen Zhi, and borrowed Xu Le's foot.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Shen Zhi was also young and restless. He was kicked unexpectedly and hurriedly hid behind Uncle Wu.

The two of them are almost a few years apart in age, but the generations cannot be confused.

Facing Shen Zhi's question, Xu Le thought of a countermeasure before kicking him.

He acted like a strict uncle, "I keep thinking about these things that have nothing to do with you every day. Have you done all the homework assigned by the teacher? I asked you to come here today to enhance our own reputation. Look at you. You act like you are not stingy...how can this be possible?"

Luo Tao listened and cheered in his heart, he was so right.

Shen Zhi stood aside blankly, unable to believe that these words actually came from the mouth of his familiar Uncle Le.

"What then? Fun..."

"Director Wu, don't listen to this kid's nonsense." After talking to Director Wu with a smile, he turned to Shen Zhi with a frown and said: "Why do I have to give you more shots? I didn't even say anything about it. Well, you posted it in advance."

Ho!What is this word?

"Director Wu, we have known each other for more than a day or two. When we were filming "Life", you really knew my acting skills. That's great.

Later, after turning on the camera, you must remember to give us a few more shots. "In order to flatter Director Wu, Xu Le actually talked about Shaanpu with the flavor of meat buns.

"Definitely, definitely." Director Wu agreed with a smile while smoking a cigarette, with a unique theatrical face.

Just when the two were building a relationship, Luo Tao didn't need to worry about his identity when dealing with Xu Le, he just kicked him in the butt.

"No big or small."

"Brother, here I am..." He also ducked behind Director Wu and stood together with Shenzhi.

"What kind of shots do you want for one or two? I will edit them all for you when the time comes." He said to the two of them.

After the two people looked at each other in confusion, Luo Tao turned to Director Wu, who had been watching the show, "I'm telling you, Old Wu, this camera won't last long, so you can take it easy."

In order to reduce the workload of photographers in a certain aspect, Luo Tao deliberately bought several Sony CCDs when he was a child, and used the new small cameras as their auxiliary tools.

I don’t plan to shoot it in a very formal way. Besides, Lao Mouzi will continue to shoot documentaries. If we finish filming the last episode as soon as possible, everyone can finish work and go home early.

Today, I just brought three small cameras made by Xiaoniisi to shoot the welcome ceremony and the subsequent performance.

"We know that you can rest assured that you will never miss a wonderful moment or take another useless picture."

When he said this last sentence, he turned to face Xu Le and the others.

The meaning is very clear, it's not that I don't shoot more of you, it's really that I can't make the decision.In addition, I also have my own professional ethics, you can wish for luck!
In Luo Tao's view, this was trying to sow discord between their brothers and teachers and students.

"Cough!" Luo Tao was about to ask him what this meant?Are they still friends?
"Yo! What's going on? You have nothing to do, so you come here to be the door gods."

Not far from where the few people were standing, I saw a fat old man walking slowly with the support of a middle-aged man, leaning on a cane.

"Hey! Mr. Qi, why are you here?" Luo Tao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him when he saw him.

The old man smiled broadly, shook his head, and said naively, "What's the matter? I can't come."

To say that he is a national treasure is truly worthy of the name.

"Look at my speechless mouth, I should say: I know you are always coming, no matter what, I have to carry eight sedans to pick you up."

"Don't tease me. What, what are you doing?" The old man chuckled and walked, looking at Director Wu directing the camera to focus on several people in the corridor outside the gate.

"Let's take a short video as a souvenir."
