Chapter 138 The old man and 'Crossing the Guandong'
On September 5th, "Story of the Health Team 2" was launched at the Kongwen Art Center. Zuo Le, as the producer, attended the launch ceremony. Many artists from the Kongshan River and Kongwen Department also came to the stage. The lineup was even larger than the first part.
.
Zuo Le stayed in Kongwen for a day, had a meal with Guo Xin and several old acquaintances, and then went to his father-in-law Tian Demao's house to show his courtesy.
I bought a lot of gifts in large and small packages, all of which are things that Tian Demao and Su Fang like and are suitable for.
Seeing these gifts carefully prepared by Zuo Le, Lao Tian's attitude towards Zuo Le became more gentle.
This is not because Tian Demao is out of his mind. Lao Tian is a university professor and his salary is not low. In addition, he is also a well-known history scholar in the academic circle. He can earn a lot of extra money by publishing books and giving lectures.
Therefore, Tian Demao himself is not short of money. Compared with these valuable inheritances, what he values more is Zuo Le's intention to come to the capital specifically to visit the old couple.
This was true for Lao Tian, not to mention Su Fang, who already liked Zuo Le. She took Zuo Le to ask him about his welfare, and even went out to buy food. In the evening, he personally cooked a table of delicious dishes to entertain his future son-in-law.
Tianjia, study room
Tian Demao was writing brush calligraphy in a flurry, while Zuo Le was grinding ink beside him. When his father-in-law finished writing a piece of Yu Qian's "Song of Lime", he immediately sent a rainbow fart.
"My uncle's writing is really good, his pen is strong and strong, and it shows the character of Shaobao."
"You don't need to praise me, my family knows their own business, so I just write my calligraphy at home for fun. If I show it to experts, they will laugh out loud." Tian Demao shook his head and joked to himself.
"Uncle, your words are so modest. I think your calligraphy is very good. It fits the artistic conception of the poem very well. It has the feeling of "Don't be afraid of being broken into pieces, you want to leave your innocence in the world."
Really, why don't uncle give this painting to me, and I'll find someone to frame it later and hang it in my study, which can be regarded as the encouragement you gave me."
Zuo Le carefully appreciated the words from beginning to end with a serious look on his face, and then refuted Tian Demao very sincerely.
"Haha, you kid can talk, okay, if you like it, take it.
Forget it, I guess you don’t know any good framers. I have an old friend who is very good at craftsmanship. I’ll ask him to frame this letter later and mail it to you.”
Da Zhou, a famous talker in the cooking class, once said - Humility makes people progress, and compliments make people feel comfortable.
No one doesn't like to be flattered and praised, even Professor Tian Demao is no exception.
Of course, Tian Demao also knew that Zuo Le's words were meant to please him, but the key is that Zuo Le's acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past two years, his eyes and expressions are very sincere, and his seven points of falsehood has become three points.
Therefore, even though Tian Demao understood that there was water in Zuo Le's words, he still felt that they were very useful.
Not only did he pick up the pen, he also specially mentioned two lines of small words for Zuo Le. He also took out several seals he had collected and stamped them all for Zuo Le.
Zuo Le was so flattered that he couldn't put it down holding the calligraphy in his hands. He repeatedly reminded Tian Demao not to forget to mail him the calligraphy.
Tian Demao was very happy and started chatting with Zuo Le: "In the Ming Dynasty, my favorite person is Yu Qian. I have written no less than 100 articles about him, and the number of notes recorded in the research literature has reached millions.
If you make a movie or TV show about Yu Qian someday, you can ask me to be your consultant to ensure that no one will give you any trouble."
"Just to tell you this, uncle, if I have the chance, I will definitely make a TV series about Yu Shaobao, and I will ask you to be my consultant when the time comes. Don't shirk it."
Zuo Le spoke happily, and then hit the snake with a stick: "Actually, uncle, I also like history, but my research is not very deep, and I have only a partial understanding of many things. You are a history professor, so I can ask you for more advice in the future."
"It's a good thing to like history. If you don't understand anything, just ask me." Tian Demao agreed happily.
"That's great, uncle. It just so happens that my next new play tells the story of the invasion of Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Can you tell me about the knowledge in it?"
Zuo Le remembered his new drama for which he was polishing the script, and asked Tian Demao.
"Breaking into Guandong? You chose this theme well. It has a sense of change of the times. Outside the Guandong in the early Republic of China, there may be dramas about Japanese Japanese devils.
The changes of the times coupled with the feelings of family and country, Xiao Zuo, your new play is very ambitious."
Tian Demao is worthy of being a history professor. With just a few words, he guessed the background setting of Zuo Le's new play, which stunned Zuo Le.
Zuo Le gave Lao Tian a thumbs up, and then told Tian Demao roughly the plot of the new drama "Crossing Guandong".
After hearing this, Tian Demao liked the story very much, especially the character Zhu Kaishan. He thought he was a reckless hero who embodies benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, and was very legendary.
Lao Tian, who was so happy to see Hunter, couldn't help but ask Zuo Le about the actor for this role and said.
"Although I am an outsider, based on my experience accumulated from reading books and watching TV dramas for many years, I can conclude that if the role of Zhu Kaishan is well chosen, the drama will be half finished. If not, the script will be a waste of time."
My father-in-law, Zuo Le, has no intention of hiding anything and tells the truth: "The drama has not been officially approved yet, and the script is still being polished. After the project is approved, the film crew will have to go outside the country to select locations.
, set up some real scenes for shooting.
After these preparations are completed, the casting stage will begin, but what is certain is that Zhu Kaishan will definitely find an experienced actor to play the role, preferably at the level of Emperor Jin Feng."
"Golden Phoenix Emperor..."
Tian Demao muttered and smiled: "I am looking forward to your new drama more and more."
After that, Tian Demao began to teach Zuo Le and introduced some historical knowledge about the invasion of Guandong. Zuo Le listened very carefully and later even took out his mobile phone to record.
The class lasted for more than two hours, and Zuo Le was so impressed with his future father-in-law.
He is worthy of being a well-known scholar. He has real skills. He has extensive knowledge and extensive knowledge. He has all kinds of relevant allusions and historical materials at his fingertips.
Zuo Le compared what Tian Demao said with the information he looked up when he was scrapping the script, and found that the similarity was over 90%.
In addition, Tian Demao also talked about some knowledge points that he had never heard of, which gave Zuo Le room to improve and optimize some of the scripts.
After a brief digestion, Zuo Le very sincerely invited Tian Demao to serve as the historical consultant to the crew of "Enter Guandong".
Unexpectedly, Tian Demao waved his hand and declined with a smile: "I have little research on this area, so I will let you spend all this money in your belly today.
However, if you really want to hire a historical consultant, I can help you contact several experts who specialize in the history of foreign countries."
"Thank you so much, uncle. When "Crossing Guandong" is aired, I will definitely add a special thank you to you at the beginning of the film." Zuo Le looked grateful.
The water in the academic circle is too deep, with a mixed bag of good and bad, good and bad. Many times, even if you spend a lot of money, you can't hire the real god. It would be great for Zuo Le to have Tian Demao, a knowledgeable person, to help introduce him.
Thanks to "Crossing Guandong", Weng and his son-in-law became more and more speculative as they chatted. During dinner in the evening, Tian Demao even opened a bottle of fine wine that he had treasured for many years.
Zuo Le was not a good drinker, but when he visited his father-in-law's house for the first time, he had no choice but to risk his life to accompany the gentleman.
That night, Zuo Le, who usually only has half a kilogram of liquor, drank eight taels of liquor at his best. He barely drank a kilogram of wine and was accompanied by Tian Demao, who was just a little tipsy. He was rated as "an average drinker but a nice person"...
