Writing in the Republic of China (38)

    ?

    Movies are not uncommon in the Republic of China.  At the end of the nineteenth century, that is, the end of the Qing Dynasty, Shanghai had already begun to show imported foreign films.  After the birth of China's first domestic film "Dingjun Mountain" in Beiping in 1905, China's films developed rapidly from scratch. Since 1922, they have entered a period of rapid development. Various film companies have sprung up like mushrooms. Domestic films  It also started to bloom.

    Just affected by the level of technology, the current movies are black and white silent movies.  Inspired by shadow puppetry, many movie theaters will specially hire people to dub behind the scenes when showing movies.  Le Jing had watched dubbed movies with Li Shuran a few times before, and he had to admit that although the technical level and picture quality of Republic of China movies are not comparable to modern movies, they also have their own advantages.

    The first is the dubbing of the voice actor.  The old Mandarin that was popular during the Republic of China is very similar to modern Mandarin in pronunciation and intonation, so modern people can easily understand it.  Moreover, these film dubbing actors are all professionally trained, their voices are clear and pleasant, and their accents are very charming. Although they have a serious broadcast accent, they are still full of emotions.

    Then there are the actors.  The ancient costumes of actors in the Republic of China really beat the style of modern studios.  Actors from the Republic of China, regardless of gender, they behave elegantly and solemnly, dress up and behave quite elegantly, and they look extraordinarily classical.  Because there is no sound in the movie, their performances are more delicate, and they pay more attention to the expression of the eyes. The eyes seem to contain a thousand words. This ability to speak with the eyes can only be achieved by some old actors in modern times.

    Le Jing went to the cinema to try out the movie and watched it a few times, but he never went to see it again.  It's like a veteran who is used to eating seafood and abalone will find it hard to eat boiled cabbage.  The themes of the films of later generations are flourishing, not to mention the monotonous themes of the films of the Republic of China, many of them were adapted from novels and dramas.  Compared with the reinterpretation of the movie, Le Jing prefers to read the original novel.

    However, Le Jing is still very supportive of his works being adapted into movies. After all, movies have a wider audience than novels.

    So he smiled pleasantly: "This is really good news. Which film company is it? Who is the director?"

    Yang Jinglun reported the name of a film company. Le Jing had never heard of this company, and it was probably just an unknown small company.  Yang Jinglun also said with some embarrassment: "This company is a newly established company with insufficient funds, so the asking price is not very high, only 300 oceans, but the director of the company, Mr. Ji Qi, is very sincere.  Shanghai rushed over and hoped to have an interview with you."

    Three hundred oceans really cannot be said to be high.  When Le Jing serialized "Memoirs of a Famous Prostitute", he already had a thousand words of four yuan, and the full text of more than 100,000 words brought him more than four hundred oceans.  Of course, three hundred oceans cannot be said to be low. After all, the monthly salary of the top traffic in the Republic of China is only 2,000 yuan, and the film company has to pay half of it. The monthly salary of ordinary actors ranges from tens to two hundred yuan.

    Therefore, when Le Jing just traveled over and considered his future business, he chose to earn manuscript fees by writing articles.  Because in the Republic of China, professors and writers were the two most profitable professions, and many literary giants often taught both writing and writing.

    Because the country has been poor and weak for too long, and the people have been beaten for too long, so the government and the people are eager to save the country with knowledge, and hope that those scholars can use the knowledge and technology they have learned to save this stormy country, so the government spends a lot of money to support it.  Reading and education, so the literati in the Republic of China can live so nourishingly.

    Of course, this does not mean that it is not as good as it used to be.  The income of literati in the Republic of China was high because there were few scholars at that time.  Assuming that the government of the Republic of China allocates 100,000 yuan and divides it equally between 100 people, then each person can get 1,000 yuan; the government of New China allocates 1 million yuan, but it has to be distributed to tens of thousands of people, then each person can only get a few dozen yuan.  It's a buck.

    Le Jing is not a money lover, so he doesn't care about the copyright fee. At this time, what makes him care about is the name Ji Qi.  Although he still looked thoughtful on the surface, Le Jing's heart had already set off a turbulent wave, and the name Ji Qi frantically flashed across the screen in his heart.

    Le Jing had watched a documentary about Big Brother Ji on the movie channel before, and knew about the magnificent and extraordinary life of this big guy.  Maybe this name is not well-known now, but it won't be long before the owner of this name will become famous, leave a name in the history of Chinese film, and make great contributions to the development and dissemination of Chinese film.  Brother Ji was poor when he was young, and his parents were ordinary farmers, which also deeply affected his future film creation.  His camera is always aimed at the working people, recording the bitterness and bitterness of the poor, and using movies to speak out for the disadvantaged groups in society. Later generations of filmmakers honored him as the good medicine of society and the mouthpiece of the people.

    It is normal for Lejing not to have heard of Ji Qi's current company name, because according to historical development, this company will soon be out of business.??, so Le Jing can only see his sincerity through other means.  So this time he came here not only brought his adapted "Memoirs of a Courtesan" script, but also brought a few large volumes of reading notes for "Memoirs of a Courtesan" written by him, hoping to let the night watchmen see his intentions through these things,  This allowed him to make the novel into a film.

    He hasn't come up with these "homework" yet, and the night watchman has already decided on him as the director. Isn't the development of the plot too smooth?  Even if the night watchman doesn't care about the price, he still wants to listen to his interpretation of the novel and his ideas for adapting the script, right?

    Ji Qi's brain twitched, and he actually asked the question in his heart directly.

    I saw the brilliance in the young man's eyes, and he smiled brightly, like stars shining on the sea, "Because you don't accept your fate. Not accepting your fate is a quality I have always admired. I also think that only those who refuse to accept their fate can make the movies I want.  .¡±

    A gentleman is like jade, Ji Qi can only use these four words to describe Li Jingran.  What is a gentleman?

    Confucius said: "Gentlemen have nine thoughts: Seeing is wise, listening is smart, seeing is gentle, looking respectful, speaking loyal, doing things respectfully, asking questions when doubting, thinking about difficulties when angry, thinking about righteousness when seeing."

    "Book of Changes" says: "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement."

    ?Because Li Jingran is a gentleman, he will not hesitate to trust a stranger with just a few words. Because he is a gentleman, he agrees with his "not accepting fate".

    If you let Le Jing know Ji Qi's thoughts at this time, you will definitely be amused. Le Jing thinks that he is an unscrupulous villain, but he is not as polite as a gentleman.  It can only be said that this is a wonderful misunderstanding.

    Ji Qi took out a thick draft paper from his briefcase, put it on the table, and said quickly: "This is the script I adapted before and some of my experience with "Memoirs of a Courtesan", please correct me, sir.  "

    Le Jing took the manuscript, but didn't read it first, but instead asked: "A few days ago, my "Memoirs of a Famous Prostitute" was adapted into a play, and the actors in it were all real prostitutes, I wonder if Director Ji has read it?  "

    Of course Ji Qi knew about it, he had been eager to see it when he first arrived in Beiping, but

    He shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed, "I've known this drama for a long time, and I've always wanted to watch it. Unfortunately, the drama is so popular that I haven't been able to get a ticket."

    Le Jing smiled and said: "I am familiar with the drama actors. If Director Ji is free tomorrow, I can take you in for free." Tomorrow is Monday, and it seems that he will take sick leave again.

    Ji Qi smiled pleasantly: "This is great, I wrote about Mr. here."

    Le Jing smiled and said: "Don't thank me, I also have selfish intentions." He put away his smile and said solemnly: "I have a merciless request."

    Ji Qi seemed to have guessed something, "Sir, if you have anything to say, I will definitely agree to it."

    "I hope that the film actors of "Memoirs of a Famous Prostitute" can be selected from drama actors as much as possible." Facing the clear eyes of last season, Le Jing added indifferently: "I want prostitutes to play prostitutes  .¡±

    He could imagine what a commotion this would cause.  Readers who hear the name "Memoirs of a Famous Prostitute" for the first time will inevitably have pornographic associations. If prostitutes are used as actors, then this movie will really become pornographic in the eyes of many people.  . Love movie.  This would add a lot of unnecessary sexiness and trouble to the movie.

    But there is no better channel for publicity than movies.  If prostitutes want to defeat that terrible fate, it is indispensable to make films that speak for them.

    Ji Qi said with a smile: "Mr. really gave me a problem."

    Le Jing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, can't it be done?"

    Ji Qi laughed out loud, and his laughter was free and easy, "Sir, I really like my appetite. He really is as literary as he is!" He waved his hand boldly, and said loudly: "If you have a confidant in life, you should understand it."

    Le Jing smiled and pointed at himself: "I'm sorry, I'm underage and weak, so I'm not allowed to drink alcohol."
