The literary era since 1979

Two days later, Zhengyang Tower.

This is a time-honored brand that was restored in 84 and is also a first-class restaurant in Yanjing.

The decoration is simple and elegant. The first floor mainly provides popular dishes, while the second floor has Shandong-style stir-fried dishes, crab feasts and Peking duck.

It also has a Chinese restaurant, a VIP lounge and private rooms, which can accommodate more than 400 people for dining at the same time and host various festive banquets.

At this moment, all the crew members of "Farewell My Concubine" were in the VIP lounge, toasting each other and having a great time.

After all, after working hard for almost half a year, the film was finally completed, and there is hope that it will be able to enter the Cannes Film Festival next.

"cheers!"

The atmosphere at the table was joyful. Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Ge You, Jiang Wen and others took turns to toast Fangyan.

"It's finally finished, and I'm relieved."

Jiang Wen couldn't help but sigh.

"Why, from your tone, it sounds like you've suffered a lot of grievances in the crew?"

Fangyan said half-jokingly.

"Teacher Fang, you are wrongly accusing me."

Jiang Wen secretly glanced at Zhang Guorong not far away, "I just can't stand Guorong."

Fang Yan frowned, "It seems that you have accumulated a lot of resentment in your heart after filming this scene."

"No, no, no, I have no resentment towards Guo Rong. On the contrary, I admire him. No, I am in awe of him!"

Jiang Wen said: "When I was acting opposite him, the emotions he conveyed were so real, it was just like Cheng Dieyi himself, which completely overwhelmed me."

Fangyan suddenly became interested. It was the first time he saw Zhang Mazi so proud and took the initiative to admit that he was outdone in his performance.

"Teacher Fang, what he said is absolutely right. I felt the same way when I was acting with Guo Rong."

Ge You said, "Not only in the play, but even when he left the set, he was still Cheng Dieyi."

"He really can't tell the difference between the person and the role. He's already gone crazy. Not to mention me, Youzi also often hides from Guorong in the crew."

Jiang Wen said with a grin.

Ge You was shocked in his heart, you Jiang Wen, why do you have to expose my secrets when you just say it?

Seeing "Zhang Mazi" and "Master Tang" sabotaging each other, Fangyan's mouth curled up slightly:

"Isn't this attitude and state better? This is worthy of the dedication and hard work of everyone in the crew."

"That's what you said."

Jiang Wen and Ge You smiled awkwardly.

After chatting for a while, Fang Yan had another drink with them. "Now that the filming of Farewell My Concubine has been completed, what are your plans next?"

Ge You said excitedly that, like Gong Li, he had received an invitation from Zhang Yimou to play the leading role in his new film "Codename Jaguar".

Jiang Wen curled his lips with a look of disdain.

"What about you?"

Fangyan smiled, knowing that after Red Sorghum, there would be no chance for the two of them to work together in the short term.

"I?"

Jiang Wen shrugged, "Teacher Fang, you know me well. I never act in a movie like Codename Jaguar. I prefer exciting and challenging things." Then he said lightly, "If I were to play Luo Ji in The Three-Body Problem, I would be very interested."

You can pull it down!

When Fang Yan heard this, he could not help but roll his eyes, as if he had heard a joke about Jiang Wen trying to play "Cheng Dieyi".

With your image, you are also trying to play "Luo Ji". Could it be that when you are fighting against the Trisolarans, you will suddenly say:
"Translate, translate, what the hell is a surprise!"

"Trisolaran, I need you to translate for me what the fucking word surprise is!"

"The Sword Wielder has arrived, and the world will be at peace! The Sword Wielder has arrived, and the Earth will be saved!"

When I think of this scene, I feel that the entire style of "The Three-Body Problem" is wrong. Jiang Wen, you'd better play "Da Shi" for me!
………………

There were fewer and fewer dishes on the table, but more and more empty wine bottles. Jiang Wen, Ge You, Chen Kaige and the others all had red faces and hazy eyes, and a faint smell of alcohol wafted from their breath.

Fang Yan was still very sober, holding a wine glass, and joined Li Bihua, Zhang Guorong, Gong Xing and others.

"Guorong, thank you for your hard work during this period."

"Where."

Zhang Guorong waved his hands and said, "I also want to thank Mr. Fang and Ms. Li for writing me as the male lead of Farewell My Concubine and giving me such a good opportunity." His tone was full of gratitude. "After filming Farewell My Concubine, I finally understood why movies can be called art."

"Hahaha."

Li Bihua, the fanatical "brother fan", laughed continuously, with excitement and satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

"I am very much looking forward to seeing you play the stunning 'Cheng Dieyi' in the finished film."

Fang Yan and Zhang Guorong clinked glasses.

Seeing the two men finish the wine in one gulp, Gong Xing said that Zhang Guorong indeed played the role of Cheng Dieyi vividly and with unparalleled grace in the play.

After all, whether in the play or outside of it, he is in that crazy state where he can't distinguish between reality and acting, so it's impossible not to act well.

"Guorong, I have something I must remind you of. You must be focused when you are in a role, and be detached when you are out of it."

The dialect tone is particularly serious.

From the completion of one work to the start of the next one, there is a very important stage, which is "out of the play" and "into the play".

If one gets too immersed in the role and fails to adjust his or her emotions and state, it may lead to difficulty in quickly extricating oneself from the role, which may lead to disaster.

For example, Chen Xiaoxu, who played "Lin Daiyu", Heath Ledger, who played "Joker", and even Zhang Guorong himself, were not spared.

"Mr. Fang, I've got it down."

Zhang Guorong nodded.

"Of course, I'm not just killing without burying."

Fang Yan said: "If possible, I will design a play specifically for you to help you get out of Cheng Dieyi's state."

Upon hearing that he had been offered another film contract, Zhang Guorong was surprised and delighted, and thanked him repeatedly.

"I don't think that's necessary." Li Bihua suddenly interjected, "I just happen to have a script that's suitable for you, called Rouge, which is invested by Golden Harvest and adapted by Guan, and it's possible that you can co-star with Mei Gu!"

He stared at Zhang Guorong with his eyes fixed, "The key is that the 'Thirteenth Young Master' in it was specially tailored for you, brother!"

"This this……"

Zhang Guorong felt somewhat reluctant. In Li Bihua's writing, he was either written to death or portrayed as a miserable and pathetic person.

“For a movie that distracts people from the plot, it’s best to choose one that has a completely different style from the previous one.”

Gong Xing smiled and said, "It's just like a comedy, with laughter, fighting and joking, and letting out emotions freely."

Seeing that the embarrassment was resolved, Zhang Guorong cast a grateful look.

Just as everyone was toasting and laughing, a fierce quarrel suddenly broke out.

Fang Yan, Zhang Guorong and others put down their wine glasses and glanced towards the direction where the sound came from.

A couple who were both crew members were seen arguing with each other. This was not the first time this had happened.

The man had a very bad temper and would often abuse his wife just because of some quarrels. He was simply a "domestic violence maniac".

At this time, the man was about to hit his wife, and this scene instantly ignited the anger in Zhang Guorong's heart.

He slammed the table, rushed to the husband and warned him sternly:

"If you hit her again, I'll get someone to take care of you!"

His voice was so powerful that it instantly froze the atmosphere of the banquet.

Everyone present was stunned, and everyone's expression seemed to be saying: "Oh my God, is this still the 'brother' we know?"

Who would have thought that the usually gentle and elegant Zhang Guorong could have such a domineering side?
Fang Yan didn't expect it, nor did Li Bihua, Gong Xing and others, and Jiang Wen, who was too busy avoiding him, didn't expect it either.

But that didn't stop him from secretly giving her a thumbs up and praising her, "What a man!" (End of this chapter)
