Chapter 177: The Old Artist Art De (Ch 177)

After a day’s rest, Qi Jia started his busy days again.

After New Year’s Day, there is still more than a month until the Chinese New Year.

All major Spring Festival movies have also begun to make their final sprint of promotions.

January 2,

Qi Jia attended the press conference and offline meeting of “Speeding Life” this morning.

In the afternoon, I rushed to attend the launch of “Crazy Alien”.

Both films were released during the Spring Festival.

And they are all luxurious lineups and big productions, which make Qi Jia feel like he is fighting with himself.

Shen Teng also shared the same feeling as him. He also starred in these two movies.

They are the first and second male leads, and have more scenes than Qi Jia.

January 10,

The Film Association held an industry dinner at the Peace Hotel in Shanghai.

Chen Yuwen told me that the association’s dinner is held once a year, and the identity and status of the participants are very high.

Either a famous director or a second-tier or above artist.

Of course, the major capitals are not among them. After all, money makes the boss, and they must be invited every year.

At around 5:00 p.m., the two arrived at the Shanghai Peace Hotel.

After showing the invitation letter at the door, a staff member took the two to a banquet hall.

Pushing open the door, there were thirty or forty round tables placed in the huge banquet hall, and staff were busy working there.

In the hall, besides the artists and directors who had arrived long ago, there were also several media present.

Although Qi Jia has officially been promoted to the first-tier, he is still different from Boss Yang in terms of status.

The two people were not seated at the same table. After the staff arranged for them to sit down, they left first.

Over there, as soon as Boss Yang sat down, he was surrounded by several people who looked like big shots.

Qi Jia sat there alone. The meal hadn’t started yet and there were only some melon seeds on the table, which he couldn’t eat.

So, I looked around, hoping to find someone I knew to chat with, otherwise I would be a bit bored.

But after looking for a while, I did find a few people I recognized, but I wasn’t familiar with them, so there was nothing to talk about.

Just when he was feeling bored and took out his phone to watch a video about paronychia,

Suddenly, someone sat down next to him and said,

“You are Qi Jia, right?

Puzzled, Qi Jia looked up and immediately recognized who the person was. He quickly stood up and said politely,

“Hello, Mr. Fan Wei.”

“Haha, it’s great to see you. No need to be so polite, come sit down.” Fan Wei waved his hand and said with a friendly smile.

“After I received the script, I read it carefully several times, and bought the original book and read it several times. I have some thoughts that I want to share with you.”

Qi Jia didn’t expect that Fan Wei would be so dedicated.

You know, even he only studied the script and didn’t buy the original book! It seems that I need to learn more from the old artists in the future.

With admiration, Qi Jia immediately sat down and pretended to listen attentively.

But the next moment, he was shocked again. Qi Jia originally thought that Fan Wei was just going to say something simple. After all, this was at a dinner party.

But then he saw Fan Wei actually took out a script from his suit. At this moment, Qi Jia’s admiration for the artistic ethics of these veteran artists reached an unparalleled level.

Fan Wei opened the script and pointed to the part where Ling Ge traveled back for the second time and became a stranger again, and came to the barber shop opened by his father, and said,

“Here, I think it can be further sublimated.

You see, the original script says that after Ringer gets a haircut at his father’s barber shop as a customer,

He gave his father a hundred yuan and told him not to pay for the change, and just hoped that he could have a meal here. Lin’s father readily agreed.

Then, during the meal and conversation, Lingge realized how difficult it was for his father.

All the resentment towards him in my heart was relieved. “

Qi Jia listened quietly without interrupting. Fan Wei paused and flipped a few pages before continuing.

“But let’s look at this. Before Ling Ge crossed over, he was dissatisfied with Lin’s father.

This was mainly because after his mother passed away, Lin’s father drank all day and became decadent.

So, I think in the eating scene,

We should also mention the reason why the father was drunk. He was drunk because he loved the mother too much.

I can’t get over it, so I drink to drown my sorrows every day.”

Qi Jia was completely immersed in Fan Wei’s description at this moment. He followed his thoughts, thought for a while, and said thoughtfully,

“You need to find a point to bring up the topic.”

“Yes!” Fan Wei patted his thigh with emotion and said, “This is what I thought. In the original novel, the hero has always been dissatisfied with his father’s hairstyle. Why don’t we start from here?”

Qi Jia nodded and continued, “I brought up the topic of my late wife with her hairstyle. The reason why her hairstyle has not changed over the years is because my wife liked it.”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Fan Wei nodded repeatedly, then pointed to a line of words and said,

“It can be further explored. In the first half of the script, it is mentioned that the father has a tin box with candy wrappers hidden inside.

The male protagonist accidentally flipped it out before traveling through time, which made Lin’s father furious.

But this iron box is not mentioned in the second half of the script. We can add it in the dialogue between the father and son.

Because the original book said that this was left by her wife before she died, and it contains all the beautiful memories of the couple. “

Qi Jia’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He wiped his sweaty hands on his pants excitedly, shook Fan Wei’s hand excitedly and said,

“That’s great, it’s really great! Teacher Fan Wei, your suggestion really elevates the whole scene!”

Seeing Qi Jia so excited, Fan Wei understood that the other party agreed with his idea.

He immediately laughed happily. At first he was worried that Qi Jia was too proud and would not allow others to comment on his play.

Now it seems that this young man is indeed different from those popular young actors. Not only is he humble and polite, but the key is that he also has his own opinions on the script.

I just mentioned a point just now, and he was able to extend it very well. I have to say that he has a very high level of understanding.

“Haha, as long as you think it’s good, I have a few more ideas, how about we discuss them?” Fan Wei said with a smile.

Qi Jia nodded eagerly: “That’s great, I couldn’t ask for more!”

…

The two people’s strange behavior naturally attracted a lot of people’s attention.

After all, everyone was greeting each other and getting to know each other, but you two were actually chatting about the script!

At first, no one took it seriously, but as time went on,

Seeing that the two of them were getting happier and happier as they talked, they couldn’t help but feel curious.

A middle-aged man with a crew cut, black-framed glasses, and a small moustache raised his glass of champagne and clinked it with Boss Yang. He then asked curiously,

“Yang Mi, that young man is Qi Jia, right?”

Boss Yang had been dealing with the big guys from the beginning. When he saw someone asking about it, he remembered Qi Jia.

Turning back, I saw him and Fan Wei were actually discussing the script. I almost laughed out of anger. I nodded helplessly.

“It’s him. Qi Jia is good in every way, but he is too obsessed with filming. When he talks about the script, he forgets the directions.”

“I see he’s talking to Teacher Fan Wei very attentively.” The middle-aged man looked at Yang Mi with curiosity, and asked, “Would it be convenient for Fang to introduce him to me?”

When Yang Mi heard this, she immediately laughed again and nodded, “Of course.”

After saying sorry to the others, Yang Mi took the middle-aged man and walked towards Qi Jia.
