Chapter 249 Discussions of the Three Major Directors

"What are you talking about? I can't understand it."

"Oh, I forgot you couldn't hear it either."

Li Xiaoran scratched his head and wrote quickly in the notebook, but when he showed it to his classmates, they immediately closed their eyes.

The other party has blocked you and refuses to communicate with you.

Li Xiaoran: "." Damn it, Chen Shiping! Come and save me!
However, these few days of contact also allowed Li Xiaoran to see many things that he had not expected.

Originally, she thought that deaf-mute people only had difficulty communicating, and were otherwise similar to normal people.

Only now did she realize that everything was completely different from what she thought.

If two deaf-mute people quarrel and one person closes his eyes or turns his back, it will cause great harm to the other person.

I also heard my deaf and mute classmates yelling loudly when they were playing, and the sound could lift the ceiling.

But they didn't know it themselves, and they never thought it would affect others.

After all, everyone around you is the same.

Li Xiaoran felt that he was affected at first, but later he realized that he was the "other".

The longer Li Xiaoran stayed in school, the more silent he became.

I can now simply communicate with my classmates and teachers using sign language.

Chen Shiping would see her once a week to prevent the girl from going crazy.

When he came here for the first time, Li Xiaoran yelled and complained that Chen Shiping came too late, and dragged him to eat something delicious.

The second time he came, Li Xiaoran was much quieter and asked Chen Shiping to buy a lot of stationery and snacks to take back.

By the third time, Li Xiaoran stopped talking much and would take the initiative to make gestures when communicating with Chen Shiping.

the fourth time.
the fifth time.
In the end, Li Xiaoran was too lazy to communicate with others in words.

Chen Shiping didn't bother to correct her. He would soon change her mind after the movie was finished and she returned to normal life.

In the small restaurant in front of the special school.

Chen Shiping handed over the physical book of White Night Journey that he had just received and said, "The first edition of the novel is not sold outside, so I give it to you."

Li Xiaoran happily picked it up and looked through it to see Chen Shiping's signature on it.

I happily held the book in my arms and gestured to him to say I like it very much, thank you.

Chen Shiping can now also understand some simple gestures, such as like and thank you.

Li Xiaoran secretly made many gestures of liking and love to him.

Chen Shiping couldn't understand it at first and thought Li Xiaoran was scolding him. Later, he asked others to find out what it meant.

But he still pretended not to understand.

At a young age, it is normal for a girl to have feelings for love and the opposite sex.

It would be unusual for him to respond.

Being eighteen is different from being in your twenties. Your outlook on life is not yet mature.

Chen Shiping would not harm other girls.

Older girls, it doesn't matter.

Both of us are mature and know what we are doing and what kind of person we like.

Li Xiaoran looked at Bai Yexing and suddenly thought of something.

He looked up at Chen Shiping and asked, "Do you have any extra ones? I want to give them to my classmates. They also like your books very much."

"There's it in the trunk. I'll get it when I take you back later."

"Thank you."

Li Xiaoran closed the book and started to eat. After eating, he packed several dishes and went back.

After returning to school, Li Xiaoran hugged a pile of books and food and waved vigorously on the classroom podium.

After everyone noticed her, they happily told them in sign language that this was the book given to them by Chen Shiping.

The students all happily ran over and gestured to Li Xiaoran to say thank you.

Li Xiaoran smiled happily, but it was a pity that only she could hear her laughter.

A female classmate patted her shoulder and gestured in sign language:
"You have such a beautiful smile!"

Li Xiaoran laughed even louder, and hugged the female classmate just like kissing and hugging her.

The female classmate shyly ran away holding her book.

Sitting in the corner, she opened the book and read it slowly. No one could disturb her immersion in the world of the novel.

"You know Gouri's pirated version is fake!"

A reader in the bookstore couldn't wait to turn to the later chapters as soon as he bought the book.

I was so angry after watching it.

He had bought a pirated copy of the entire volume just to have a quick look at it, but he felt strange after reading it.

Now that I see the original version, I realize how annoying the pirates are!

Write something blindly and pass it off as the original version for takeout!

For a while, many people were complaining and cursing unscrupulous pirates.

In order to avoid being preempted by pirates, Chen Shiping and Dangdai released the physical book together with the second issue of the serialized magazine.

Readers either buy magazines or books, which has little impact on contemporary magazines.

The publishing house is also my own!
On the other side, the Commercial Press has started publishing the translation of Bai Ye Xing overseas.

The first stop is Japan.

Chen Shiping's Red Wall and Love Letters are very popular in Japan and have a large reader base.

White Night Walk was released in Japan four days later than in China.

After it was launched, it immediately sold out.

The Japanese booksellers were laughing so hard that they started printing overtime.

Domestic pirated booksellers are also working overtime to piracy.

But when they finished it, not many readers bought it when it appeared on the market.

What a piracy! Who knows whether what you wrote is true or false!
The pirate merchants are all numb. How happy they have been to make money in the past two months, and how uncomfortable it is to cry now.

The sales of pirated copies are still good, but not as popular as they thought.

There are still many readers who don’t have money to buy the original version.

After all, a book costs several dollars.

Many students have to save for a long time to save enough money to buy a book.

This is especially true when watching movies.

Many students will start saving money in advance after knowing what movies are going to be released.

Otherwise, there is really no way to come up with so much money at once.

Chen Shiping has a love-hate relationship with piracy.

Piracy can expand influence, but it can also disrupt the normal market.

The most helpless thing is that if no one pirates your book, it will become an insult.

Chen Shiping also met a reader who bought pirated copies and asked him to sign them.

Pirated readers are readers too, and they still need to sign.

But I just don’t feel very happy and can’t blame others yet.

What can poor students do if they don’t have money to buy genuine copies?

The signatures are considered good, but I am most afraid that readers will read pirated copies and write letters to complain.

Chen Shiping could only laugh it off and then shed tears silently.

It’s so damn hard to be an author.

Chen Shiping has been enjoying great success these days, and Bai Ye Xing topped the sales list just one month after its publication.

People in the literary circle now feel what those in the film circle feel. Director Chen, please take a rest!
Why don't you just be your factory director? What kind of book should you write?
People in the film industry secretly hoped that Chen Shiping would write novels quickly instead of making movies.

You are famous for writing novels, can you keep writing?
What kind of movie are you making?

As soon as the movie was released, it dominated the entire schedule, squeezing the box office of other movies to no avail.

Anyone on the same schedule as Chen Shiping would burst into tears.

Chen Shiping is also very innocent.

Fans support, what can we do!

In the literature department of Beijing Film Studio, Cheng Kaige finally breathed a sigh of relief after looking at the completed script.

It took more than two months to tinker with it.

Cheng Kaige is very satisfied with the final version of the script!

But I couldn't help but worry.

White Night Walk now has too many readers!

If you don’t take the photo well, you’ll probably be scolded to death!
Several novels adapted by Cheng Kaige have never been read or criticized because they could not be released.

I'm really worried now.

Cheng Kaige felt a little anxious and went to find Chen Shiping with the script.

Chen Shiping is currently discussing the script of Shake and Shake to Grandma Bridge with Zhang Yimo.

Although Zhang Yimo wanted to surpass Chen Shiping, he still admired his ability.

Those who write novels are not as good at making movies as he is, and those who are good at making movies are not as good at writing novels as he is.

That is to say, there is no first place in literature, otherwise Chen Shiping would not necessarily be inferior in the literary circle than in the film circle.

After Zhang Yimo finished the script, he still felt dissatisfied, so he came to see Chen Shiping.

I want to hear his opinion.

"This script is not very good, it's quite boring." Chen Shiping thought for a while and concluded: "It's just that the gang boss put down the rebellion and killed his mistress, and then it was gone."

"You may have conceived a lot of colors and beautiful pictures. Old Shanghai in the 1920s can indeed bring your color aesthetics to full play, but it will not make a good movie."

Chen Shiping even said without mercy: "The script you wrote is a replica of Feng Yue! But the story is even thinner than Feng Yue."

Cheng Kaige, who had just arrived outside the office, heard Chen Shiping mention his romantic relationship, and immediately stopped to hear what he would say.

Everyone in Zhang Yimo is dumbfounded, have you gone too far!

Are you saying that my script is not as good as Fengyue? !
Can Cheng Kaige compete with me now?

Zhang Yimo will only keep these words in his heart, just like what he said to reporters a few years ago.

He is arrogant in his heart and will not be convinced by anyone!

If you don’t put yourself first, you can’t make a good movie.

Zhang Yimo looked at Chen Shiping and said, "Your evaluation is a bit harsh. I think there is a difference between gangsters and back-houses."

Chen Shiping nodded and said: "That's right, but you shouldn't use the perspective of aquatic. A child can only see the intrigues and intrigues of that era. If you want to show the struggles and dangers of that era, don't use the perspective of a child."

"But the child is pure white, so the impact of seeing this will be strong." Zhang Yimo said unconvinced.

Chen Shiping smiled and said: "Living in modern society, all audiences are like children. What you want to impact is the audience, not a character in the movie."

"Tear the story apart and crush it into pieces, and show the sinister things directly to the audience. The flowers of evil that bloom in the struggle of human hearts with blood and gunfire are the best."

Cheng Kaige couldn't help but nod when he heard it outside the office!

During this time, he stayed in the Literature Club for a long time, and gradually understood one thing, that is, what do I want to show the audience.

The same themes and ideas, different plot settings and character perspectives will have different expressiveness.

Judging from the characters in the play alone, what Zhang Yimou said is right.

When a child saw those evil things and saw the young lady he liked being killed, he collapsed and became angry. He saw the evil in people's hearts.

But the audience didn't see it, and the audience couldn't sympathize with the child who acted as the camera.

I will just feel bored after watching it.

After all, who would empathize with a bystander?

If the audience can't feel the pain, how can it have the so-called impact?

Cheng Kaige held the script in his hand, couldn't help shaking it a few times, then turned around and left with a smile.

There is no problem with the script of White Night Walk.

The movie unfolds from the perspective of the male protagonist and the policeman. There are two different perspectives, good and evil, both of which are key figures in promoting the plot.

It is different from the heroine's disguise as a spectator. The audience can easily be immersed in this perspective.

You will be disgusted by the male protagonist's behavior, and you will also feel pity that the police extended a saving hand.

Cheng Kaige felt that he really learned a lot in the Literature Department this time.

There is a fundamental difference between the director's perspective and the audience's perspective!
After Cheng Kaige recalled the plot of Fengyue, he also understood the mistakes he had made.

There are too many and complicated characters. One is the male protagonist's abnormal love, and the other is the female protagonist's obsession, decadence and decadence.

I want to express too much, but nothing is fully expressed.

After a while, Zhang Yimo also left.

His ears were a little soft, and after listening to Chen Shiping's words, he decided to go back and revise the script.

That afternoon, Gong Li called Chen Shiping to invite him to dinner that evening.

But Chen Shiping didn't have time. He had to go for a prenatal check-up in the afternoon.

There was no time to have dinner with Gong Li, and no time to listen to her talk about the twists and turns of her love affair with Zhang Yimo.

Go ahead and play by yourself!

In the hospital, Chen Shiping helped Tao Huimin go for a check-up, and couldn't help but said: "We must find a nanny. You are now a month old, and mom can't take care of you alone."

Tao Huimin smiled and said: "How can it be so pretentious? There are so many people and no one is taking care of them."

Chen Shiping said with disapproval:

"We have that condition, so why do we have to torture ourselves? Mom has to cook and take care of you every day. I have lost weight."

Tao Huimin thought about it and agreed.

In the examination room, Chen Shiping looked at the doctor and couldn't help but ask: "Doctor, do you think it would be better for me to buy baby clothes in red or blue?"

The doctor laughed dumbly and said: "I want to ask the boy or girl, why are you so tactful?"

Chen Shiping was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that there were no regulations prohibiting disclosure.

"It's a girl, go back and buy more beautiful clothes."

After hearing what the doctor said, Chen Shiping couldn't help but be happy, "How's the girl!"

We just like girls!

Boys are so naughty!
But Tao Huimin was not very happy. She liked boys.

She also felt that giving birth to a boy would renew the incense of the old Chen family.

Chen Shiping is pitiful. He has only one child. What will he do if he doesn't have a son?

When he came out of the hospital, Chen Shiping smiled and said to Tao Huimin: "I like girls, and I don't have the traditional idea of ​​​​carrying on the family line.

Don't put pressure on yourself. What's good about boys is that I like girls, and women hold up half of the sky. "

Tao Huimin rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid of being chased and beaten by your father when you get older?"

Chen Shiping chuckled. He didn't know where he would go after he died.

Besides, I am in good health now. If I want a child in the future, I can have another one.

But there is no such idea now.

One child is fine, but having six or seven children is not enough of a headache.

In the evening, Chen Shiping was writing something in his study when the cell phone he just bought rang.

The call was from Chen Hong. After the call was answered, the first thing he asked was whether it was a boy or a girl.

Chen Shiping was speechless.

Why are you more anxious than me? You are the child’s biological father!
