Chapter 154 The Suffering King of Volume(2/2)
"Pull it up quickly! Pull it up quickly!" Xie Jin shouted hurriedly.
But Chengyin didn't listen to him. He opened the window to disperse the smoke in the room and said disgustedly: "If you don't let out this smoke, I'm afraid you two will get lung cancer."
Cheng Yin is a meritorious director of Yan Film Studio. His representative works include "War in the South", "Red Detachment of Women" and "Red Lantern". He is good friends with Xie Jin.
"Lung cancer is something that happens in the future. I might go blind on the spot."
Xie Jin stepped forward and covered half of the curtains to block some light, and then he got used to the light outside.
"You haven't slept all night again?" Cheng Yin asked.
Lin Chaoyang didn't speak. His dark circles under his eyes and dry, white lips had already answered the other party's question.
Even though Xie Jin is over 50 years old, as a director, his work schedule is always reversed day and night. He has little inspiration during the day, but is bursting with inspiration at night. He kept Lin Chaoyang up all night to revise the script.
Even if he stayed up late, the key point was that he was still addicted to smoking. If he revised the manuscript for a few hours, the changes in the manuscript would not be as much as the cigarette butts in the ground.
Sometimes he really had no inspiration, so he drank for half the night. He felt happy, but Lin Chaoyang couldn't hold it any longer.
After revising the manuscript for a few days, he felt that his life would be shortened by at least a year.
The money earned is not worth it!
"I was inspired last night. I was writing and drawing and forgot about time." Xie Jin replied.
Of course, his words were not taken seriously. Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but complain: "You have inspiration every night, but I haven't seen you draw a few shots."
Movie scripts can be divided into literary scripts and storyboards. Literary scripts are the work of screenwriters, while storyboards are the work of directors.
Xie Jin is very satisfied with the literary script of "The Wrangler". This time he said he was talking about the script and revising it, but in fact it was more about the creation of the split-shot script.
After being exposed by Lin Chaoyang, Xie Jin blushed and said, "Striving for excellence."
"Just do as I told you..."
Lin Chaoyang was halfway through what he said. Xie Jin pretended not to listen, pulled Cheng Yin and said, "Let's go have breakfast."
Lin Chaoyang shook his head helplessly. In later generations, he had watched the movie "Wrangler" more than once. Xie Jin had to draw the scene script, and having him there was like bringing his own cheating device.
But Xie Jin felt that he was the director, so how could he let the screenwriter control it? He had to draw it himself, and he had to do the opposite with Lin Chaoyang, which led to the slow progress of the creation of the split-shot script.
While having breakfast, Lin Chaoyang said: "If you keep doing this, I won't accompany you anymore."
"You're a movie screenwriter. You've already received the money, so how can you give up halfway?"
After spending a few days together, Lin Chaoyang and Xie Jin had become very familiar with each other, and they no longer spoke politely to each other.
"I received money for literary scripts, and the scripts were all finished."
"I still have to change it, and you have to be responsible."
"Change your storyboard?"
The two chatted for a while, Cheng Yin watched the fun happily, but Xie Jin finally became unhappy.
"Are you here to watch the fun?"
"What do you think yours has to do with me?"
Cheng Yin just wanted to be a melon-eater, but he didn't expect to be angered by his old friend.
"It doesn't matter, just stay away."
"You eat in our Yanying Factory canteen, and you want to kick me out?"
There were a lot of noisy jokes among the few, but no one took them seriously.
When they were about to finish their meal, Cheng Yin talked about the recent news in Yanjing's literary and artistic circles.
"Li Hanxiang is coming to Yanjing again!"
"Come again?" Xie Jin's tone was a bit surprised.
Lin Chaoyang listened to the conversation between the two with a bit of curiosity on his face.
Of course he knows Li Hanxiang, an important director in the history of Chinese film. In his early years, he studied at the National Peking Art College, which is now the Yanjing Fine Arts School.
I arrived in Hong Kong in 1947, started directing movies in the 1950s, and has shot dozens of movies so far.
Many of these films are widely loved by audiences and have achieved good box office and word-of-mouth reviews. Among the works, many works such as "The Beauty of the Country", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Yang Guifei" and "Wu Zetian" have been shortlisted and won international awards.
His works cover Huangmei Diao films, martial arts films, ghost films, romance films, epics, literature and art, realism and many other styles. Now he can be said to be a representative figure in the Hong Kong film industry.
At this time, there are not many exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places. After the reform and opening up, the situation has improved, but the exchanges are still very limited.
When Li Hanxiang, a Hong Kong director, came to the mainland, the first thing that came to Lin Chaoyang's mind were the names of two movies.
