I rely on talking to brush the copy

When watching the play "Memoirs of a Famous Courtesan", Ji Qi read a lot of related reviews in the newspaper, and had heard about those prostitute actresses who had attracted a lot of criticism. To be honest, even if the night watchman had not suggested it, he would still prefer to use prostitutes to play prostitutes. One reason is that such performances can make actors get into the play faster, because they are real and particularly touching, and the other reason is because of funding.

After all, their company has just been established and the funds are not sufficient. Most famous actors offer high prices, and the acting skills of actors who offer low prices are not guaranteed. In this case, prostitutes who have experience in drama performances but have never made a movie are a very cost-effective choice. As for the reputation issues brought by prostitutes, he did not consider it. If he really cared about this, he would not want to shoot "Memoirs of a Famous Courtesan".

Even so, Ji Qi decided to observe their performances with his own eyes. If their acting skills did not satisfy him, for the sake of the quality of the movie, even if their pay was cheap, even if it was recommended by the original author, he would not choose them.

Adhering to the concept of film supremacy, Ji Qi followed Li Jingran to sit in the first row of the audience. Not long after, the curtain slowly opened, and one actor after another took the stage to perform all kinds of people in the abbot's place

Ji Qi's calm eyes soon set off a storm.

There are many prostitutes in the novel "Memoirs of Famous Prostitutes", including the strong and brave Bai Moli, the vain and materialistic Xiao Taohong, the hard-mouthed and soft-hearted Phalaenopsis... These prostitutes with different personalities are the epitome of the Eight Great Hutongs, and their fate is the common fate of prostitutes.

Now these characters are walking towards the audience from the book, vividly alive on the small stage! Among them, Bai Moli is the most vivid and dazzling! Ji Qi looked devoutly at Bai Moli who was playing the piano and laughing on the stage, as if he saw a bright flame of passion burning.

Ji Qi's scalp was numb, and a long-lost shudder of joy crawled from his spine to his brain. The skin all over his body tightened and he couldn't stop getting goose bumps. He took a deep breath, barely suppressed the joy that was clamoring wildly in his heart, and told himself that it was her, it was them!

They were not performing, they were just showing their lives to the audience! Such a natural performance is hard to come by! Only such a performance can present the most perfect "Memoirs of a Famous Courtesan"!

So at the moment when the curtain was drawn, Le Jing heard Ji Qi's excited voice as expected: "I want to go backstage to meet the actress who plays Bai Moli!"

...

As soon as Le Jing led Ji Qi into the backstage, he was surrounded by many beautiful figures.

"Ah, sir, are you here to see my performance?"

"I saw you on the stage! Do you think I performed well?"

"Why didn't you come these days? Are you sick?"

Ji Qi realized belatedly that Li Jingran seemed to be very popular with actresses? Although he knew that he was not as good-looking as others, he still felt a little sour at this time.

Le Jing answered a few questions with a smile. Seeing that these girls were about to ask a lot of questions, he quickly stopped talking: "I came here to discuss something with Miss Bai. Please give me some convenience."

"Okay, okay, don't bother me, sir." Bai Shaoyao rudely drove away the chattering sisters and protected Le Jing behind her like an old hen. "Sir, if you have anything to say, why don't we go out and talk?"

Le Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. It's the same if we talk here." Then he told Ji Qi about making "Memoirs of a Famous Courtesan" into a movie, and Ji Qi also invited Bai Shaoyao to be the female lead.

"Filming? Me?" Bai Shaoyao blushed, she pulled her hair awkwardly, and asked unconfidently: "Can someone like me make a movie?"

"Of course! In my opinion, the female lead of the movie must be Miss Bai!" Ji Qi said enthusiastically: "Miss Bai has superb acting skills, she is very immersed in the role, and at the same time has a deep understanding of the original work. I heard that the drama script was adapted by Miss Bai?" After Bai Shaoyao nodded, Ji Qi looked at Bai Shaoyao with even more enthusiasm, and he asked excitedly: "Has Miss Bai studied related subjects before?"

Bai Shaoyao misunderstood Ji Qi's meaning, lowered her head and stammered: "I know I have not been to school and have little knowledge, so I don't know much about this script. I specially asked many seniors in the theater to show me the script. I have revised the script at least ten times. "

Ji Qi nodded and asked, "Can I ask who wrote the extra lines in the play?"

Bai Shaoyao answered nervously, "It was me, but are there any mistakes or omissions in the lines?"

Ji Qi laughed and shook his head vigorously, "On the contrary, in my opinion, these added lines are exquisite and in line with the original work. People will believe that they are written by masters. Miss Bai can write such dialogues without any relevant training. She can really be called a genius."

Bai Shaoyao blushed with praise and waved her hands repeatedly, saying that she was not worthy of it.

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Bai Shaoyao asked curiously: "How do you want to film "Memoirs of a Famous Courtesan"?"

Le Jing had also asked Ji Qi this question before, and this time he just copied the answer he gave to Le Jing at that time: "The film basically follows the original content, but I want to rewrite the ending."

Bai Shaoyao frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and asked: "How do you want to rewrite it?"

Ji Qi replied: "I want to change the tragic ending into a comedy, Bai Moli did not die, she finally redeemed herself and became a free person."

Bai Shaoyao frowned even more. This sentence was simple, but it almost rewritten the main line of the article and weakened the purpose of the article. It turned from a thought-provoking story into an unreal fairy tale. This is a blasphemy against the author's work. !

Seeing Bai Shaoyao's expression about to explode with anger, Le Jing quickly explained: "Director Ji Qi has already obtained my consent for this matter."

Although Bai Shaoyao was puzzled, she knew that Mr. Night Watchman must have his own reasons for doing this.

"Because only this kind of rewriting can inspire the audience's enthusiasm to change their destiny and fight unremittingly." The young man's eyes were long and he seemed to be lost in memories. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It is true that tragedy is great, but isn't comedy great? Human beings. They are very realistic animals. If they cannot see the benefits of resistance, they will not choose to resist.”

Bai Shaoyao nodded in understanding, and Le Jing further explained: "The novel version of "Memoirs of a Courtesan" is a tragedy. Through Bai Moli's tragedy, I let readers feel indignation and resentment towards the dark and unfair world." Sympathy for prostitutes, but making such content into a movie will have a negative impact on Many viewers have a negative impact. They will think that Bai Moli failed to realize her dream even though she worked so hard. In the end, she was forced to death by the madam. In the end, it was nothing but a bamboo basket. In this case, it is better to accept her fate from the beginning and not have any Good for unrealistic fantasy.”

Bai Shaoyao suddenly realized, "So my husband wants to change the ending of the movie into a comedy, because he hopes to inspire people with the heroine Bai Moli's successful story of self-redemption through unremitting efforts!"

Le Jing smiled and nodded: "Yes. Compared with tragedies that are profound but aloof, naturally clichéd comedies can attract more people into the cinema and play a positive role in inspiring people."

At that time, a movie "Axin" came from Japan, triggering a movie-watching frenzy in China. The protagonist Axin came from a humble background, but through his own hard work, he became the owner of a large supermarket. His legendary experience inspired many women to become self-reliant. Road, some female entrepreneurs also said that their original entrepreneurship was influenced by Ashin.

This shows the positive guiding role of outstanding positive figures in society and the people.

Bai Shaoyao now completely agreed with Ji Qi's idea of ​​adaptation, but...

"I really want to make a movie in my heart, but regarding the matter of the female lead, I'm afraid I have to ask my handsome man before I can give you an answer." She pressed down on the two of them apologetically and explained: "I am here today thanks to the help of the commander, so I have to ask him about this."

Ji Qi also understands Bai Shaoyao's concerns. After all, an actor in the old days was just an actor, and actors are just like playthings to prostitutes in the minds of many people, so it is not surprising that many old-school people are prejudiced against actors.

Ji Qi nodded to express his understanding of Bai Shaoyao, and before he could say anything for the occasion, he was surrounded by the actresses who had stretched their necks to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Director, are you still short of actors? What do you think of me?"

"Director, choose me. I'm so handsome. It would be a pity not to be an actor."

"Director, director, did you watch my performance just now? How was my performance?"

Ji Qi's head was pounding after hearing this. Under the attack of this group of women's troops, he could only sign the treaty of "losing power and humiliating the country" in embarrassment. After promising that each of them would have an audition opportunity, these ladies dispersed with satisfaction. .

Facing Le Jing's narrow gaze, Ji Qi remembered the sourness in his heart just now, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head, "It's the hardest to accept the kindness of a beauty."

…

It was already noon when we came out of the theater.

Le Jing looked at the sky. It was a cloudy day today. The sun shrank in the dark clouds, leaving only a light yellow halo. The autumn wind passed through the dilapidated streets of Peiping, making this scene more in line with the desolation and sadness of late autumn.

"It's time, let's go and have lunch at my house." Le Jing greeted enthusiastically: "I'm not boasting, my cook's skills are outstanding!"

Ji Qi was not a restrained person, so he immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting for a feast!"

The two of them were chatting and laughing as they hurried on. Le Jing's new home is not far from the theater, so there is no need to take a car.

It was on such a desolate late autumn day that Le Jing met those children.

Some of them were wearing rags and running around on the ground barefoot, and some were simply naked. Without exception, they all have big heads, thin necks, and bony limbs.

"Okay, please give me something to eat!" They surrounded Le Jing and Ji Qi and knelt down skillfully to kowtow desperately. A girl with a disabled leg propped herself up with one hand and held up a broken bowl with one hand. Her big black and white eyes were numb: "I beg you to give me some food." She said with difficulty. He kowtowed to Le Jing and the others.

who are they?

They are Sanmao.

They are children of the Republic of China.

Shelley asked, if winter is here, can spring be far behind?

But it is difficult for these children in front of them to survive until next spring. Their lives are as weak as a candle in the wind and will be extinguished at any time.

Oscar Wilde said that everyone is born a king, but most of them die in exile.

These children originally had unlimited possibilities, but now they have to die silently and dirty on a dark street corner.

Children are the future of the country.

A country that is so poor that even its children cannot survive will definitely have no future.

Le Jing was about to take out the money on him, but was stopped by Ji Qi. He ran to a store nearby and bought some oil cakes and buns and handed them to the children in silence.

The children's originally numb eyes suddenly lit up. They fought and snatched food, and they ate voraciously while fighting.

Ji Qi pulled Le Jing away for a distance and led him to look back. He saw several ferocious men snatching all the money they had begged from the children. Only the food was spared and was wolfed down by the children.

Ji Qi sighed and said, "Now you understand."

As early as when Ji Qi stopped him from taking out the money, Le Jing had already understood a little. He remembered that he had seen in the news in modern times that there would be adults who specially trained disabled children to beg for money, and it seemed that this was also the same way now.

Sure enough, from ancient times to the present, the evil of human beings is similar.

Le Jing thought that he probably had thought of a new serial story.

This was the inspiration given to him by these "Sanmao".

He plans to tell a fairy tale full of hope with a street kid as the protagonist.

People always need hope. Only hope can give people the motivation to endure disasters and persevere in struggle.

The author has something to say:

It seems that this copy cannot be completed in 40 or 50 chapters... Let's set the goal to complete it in 60 chapters!!

I have too much to write about the Republic of China chapter. If I had known earlier, I would have opened a separate Republic of China chapter_(:з”∠)_ Mainly, when I started the article, I didn't expect that I could write so long... This is the disadvantage of not having an outline QWQ

The subsequent copies are long and short, but they should not be as long as the Republic of China chapter... right?
