A widower's entertainment

Chapter 146 [Learning from the crew] (please subscribe)

Lin Youcheng didn't know that Gu Ren, a PLA soldier whom he met by chance, would often call him by the name of the one who didn't bring the child, just as he didn't know that six-year-old Lin Zhaoman would become a PLA soldier in the future.

Life is so ordinary, yet wonderful, just like the chance encounters and passing encounters that happened to Lynch in "The Curious Case of the World".

During the long green train journey, even if everyone is very excited and energetic, no matter how energetic they are, they will still need a short intermission.

Just like that, time passed, and the green train drove into Shanghai with a bang.

Gu Ren and Lin Youcheng naturally parted ways as soon as they left the train station. In this era, it was impossible to add WeChat or leave contact information. From now on, they would slowly fall back into the sea of ​​strangers.

"Brother Lin, goodbye."

Gu Ren spoke to Lin Youcheng and left.

Watching Gu Ren's leaving figure, Lin Youcheng didn't waste much time, quickly found a taxi, and took a few of his carrots to the filming location of "The Wind" crew.

Although it is called a taxi, it is actually a three-wheeled taxi with an iron shell and a thick canvas roof. Because it looks like a turtle, Shanghai people call it a "turtle car."

Fortunately, Lin Youcheng and the four people can still squeeze in.

Lin Zhaomei pointed to the trolleybus on the Baidu Bridge and found it very novel. It seemed like there were long braids on the trolleybus.

The crew also knew that Lin Youcheng, the original author and screenwriter of "The Wind", was coming to the crew. At the same time, they also knew that Lin Youcheng was a widower with a baby, so he brought a few children with him this time, so look at who The person following Luobotou knew that it was writer Lin Youcheng.

"You're successful, this is Director Xie Jin."

Many staff members on the crew read literature, and it can be said that most of them have read Lin Youcheng's novels. After all, Lin Youcheng is the most high-profile author in the literary circle. There is no way anyone can make Lin Youcheng's works more popular in literature. The influence within the circle is obvious to all.

The year before last, his debut novel "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" triggered a trend of pure love, moving countless readers to tears. The following "The Devotion of Suspect X" once again opened the door to mystery literature, but triggered a A literary frenzy that perfectly combines love and reasoning, truly thrilling. After that, Lin Youcheng also brought the third love novel "Love Letter", which really made countless young readers reminisce about the past and tortured the postman comrades crazily.

Lin Youcheng smiled and saw the surprised light in the eyes of the carrot heads. He felt that it was worth traveling all the way with these carrot heads.

Speaking of which, this is the first time the director and screenwriter of "The Wind" have met.

Because it was shot in Shanghai, there were more staff at the Shanghai Film Studio.

And the "Fantastic Events in the World" perfectly combines fantasy and reality, making Lynch's fantasy life of rejuvenation extremely touching, not to mention the previously published spy novel "The Wind" which caused heated discussions.

The interior scenes of "The Wind" were shot in a manor.

"Dad, look!"

It turns out that the outside world is so special.

“That car has pigtails!”

Therefore, many crew members came up to say hello to Lin Youcheng and express their love for the novel written by Lin Youcheng.

This is also the "braid car", the main means of transportation in Shanghai. Trolleybuses can often be seen on the streets. You must know that as early as 1908, the first trolley bus line was opened in Shanghai.

"Hello, Director Xie Jin."

Zhou Haifeng from Shanghai Film Studio had been to Decheng, and it was always Zhou Haifeng who contacted Lin Youcheng. Now naturally it was Zhou Haifeng who led Lin Youcheng to meet the director Xie Jin of the crew.

Several carrot heads looked excitedly at Shanghai in 1985, looking at everything new and special about this city. At this time, Shanghai was already quite fashionable, with high-rise buildings, but it was different from the temperament of the capital city.

Lin Youcheng naturally expressed his gratitude.

The Bund's Gothic spiers, ancient Greek domes, Baroque columns, Spanish balconies, and many classic buildings have a unique flavor that strikes Carrot Head's eyes.

Each of these novels is truly stunning and moving.

"Hello, Comrade Lin, thank you for your hard work coming all the way."

Director Xie Jin was kind and friendly, with a smile on his face and said, "The script is very well written. Thank you for your hard work."

In fact, director Xie Jin was surprised at first, because the script given by the writer Lin Youcheng was very professional, both in content and format, it was a professional movie script.

Lin Youcheng smiled and said, "Director, you have done the hard work." As he said this, a young actor came over, and Lin Youcheng knew that this was Liang Jiahui whom he recommended.

"Director Lin, thank you for recommending me to act in this play. You wrote the script really well. I really like the role I played."

At first, Liang Jiahui was surprised that Lin Youcheng recommended him to play this role, so he naturally asked his doubts and asked: "But I really want to know, why did you recommend me to play the role of Bai Xiaonian?"

"Because I think you are very suitable. I think your acting skills are like the actor with a thousand faces."

"The Thousand-Faced Movie King?"

Liang Jiahui was surprised when he heard Lin Youcheng's words. He looked at Lin Youcheng in surprise and said, "Thank you, thank you so much!"

Pan Hong and Wu Xiaohe, who were standing aside, also greeted screenwriter Lin Youcheng. Pan Hong and Lin Youcheng, in particular, expressed their gratitude for their previous recommendations. Although she did not play the role of Gu Xiaomeng, she felt good about the role of Li Ningyu. Very challenging.

Lin Youcheng looked at Pan Hong, and he had to admit that Director Xie Jin's choice made sense, because Pan Hong, dressed in cheongsam, had more of the temperament of Li Ningyu.

Lin Youcheng feels a little pity for Pan Hong. She has won the Golden Rooster Award four times and is also the first domestic actor to appear on the cover of Time Magazine. It is a pity that such an actress can only play the vicious mother-in-law in TV series. .

Pan Hong looked at Lin Youcheng and said with a smile: "I particularly like the novels you wrote. I have read every one of them."

"My favorite is the love in "Hawthorn Tree Love". The story of Jingqiu and Laosan really made me cry for a long time."

Hearing Pan Hong's words, Lin Youcheng smiled and expressed his gratitude.

Another heroine, Liu Xiaoqing, also came over to greet Lin Youcheng and said seriously: "Writer Lin, I like the role of Gu Xiaomeng very much. Don't worry, I will definitely play this role well."

Lin Youcheng looked at Liu Xiaoqing, who was still very young in front of him. He hadn't thought about playing young yet. Even though he was older than Pan Hong, he did feel younger. Although he was a little surprised by the firmness in Liu Xiaoqing's eyes, I didn’t know where it came from, but I still smiled and said, “You can definitely do it.”

Lin Youcheng also admired Liu Xiaoqing very much. When he learned about the casting for "The Great Wall of the South China Sea" when he was not yet acting, he took the initiative to sign up. During the casting process, she was not the best. In order to gain the approval of the director, she When I learned that there was a scene of jumping into the sea, I jumped off the 10-meter deck without hesitation and finally got the role.

Liu Xiaoqing has been quite a legend all the way. She has been a movie queen and been in jail. She is worthy of being a strong woman who has played countless strong women.

Thinking that Liu Xiaoqing entered the industry in 02 for tax evasion and became the real number one in the industry. She was imprisoned during her peak period. After being released from prison, she could start from small roles and return to being an actor step by step. Lin Youcheng couldn't help but say He said, "Have a good time acting!"

Liu Xiaoqing was surprised when she heard what Lin Youcheng said. She was about to say something when she saw Lin Youcheng taking the child to another place.

Because Lin Youcheng also took care of his children, the crew also had some fun with Lin Youcheng's children.

Fortunately, Lin Zhaoxi and Lin Zhaoqing were quite sensible and followed them honestly. As for Lin Zhaomei, it was different. He took the initiative and became a hundred thousand whys in the crew, constantly asking questions.

"Dad, what is this?"

"This is called a camera, this is the shooting screen and different lenses."

The equipment used for shooting nowadays is still film, so it can be said that every shot must be prepared before shooting. After all, not every director is a sunglasses king and can waste film endlessly.

"what about this?"

"This is a tape recorder to record the sound."

"This is a tripod."

……

Lin Zhaomei was very curious about the filming equipment of the crew and kept asking questions. The crew members also smiled and gave answers to Lin Zhaomei, an eight-year-old child.

Now it doesn't look like Lin Youcheng, the original author and screenwriter, brought his daughter to the crew to provide some advice. Instead, Lin Youcheng has become Lin Zhaomei's old follower, following Lin Zhaomei, listening to Lin Zhaomei's questions to the crew all the way. Many issues with staff.

Director Xie Jin on the side looked at Lin Zhaomei who kept asking these questions about film shooting. He couldn't help but smile and said to Lin Youcheng: "Your daughter seems to be very interested in movies."

Lin Youcheng smiled and said, "She also said that she would be the most powerful director in the future."

When Xie Jin heard this, he smiled very happily and said, "If that's true, that would be amazing."
