"Xiao Gao, do you believe in fate?" "Speaking of fate, I only believe that if the country is doing well, we will be well!" "Oh, this sublimation is too abrupt, without any foreshadowing...ah!" Chen Qi's thigh was pinched again, and his complaints were interrupted. Gong Xue glared at him and whispered: "Can you shut up? You keep talking. I think it's well filmed." "Really?" "Of course!" Chen Qi pursed his lips, indicating that she should listen to the audience's comments. "It's almost over, right? It's different from her previous films? I can't describe it." "I have the same feeling. Her previous films were all very new, but this one is very old, similar to other works in China." "Didn't you read the subtitles at the beginning? It was shot by Shanghai Film Studio, and the screenwriter and director are all from Shanghai Film Studio. Gong Xue used to only shoot films about her lover, so of course it's different this time."
"Her lover? Chen Qi?" "Yeah, mutton skewers!" "Haha, don't mention mutton skewers, I want to laugh again!" Gong Xue pouted and whispered, "It's pretty good in China, but it's certainly incomparable to yours." "I didn't say it's bad, it's just that the audience is used to it, they can't adapt... Hey, hurry up, hurry up, we can't walk anymore!" Seeing that "Under the Bridge" was about to end, the two got up in a panic and sneaked out again. This era is also very fanatical about chasing stars. Gong Xue's current life is similar to that of later stars, and she has lost a lot of freedom. The two of them got on the van, and she asked, "What do you think of the serious one?" "For China, the film is of good quality. Although it has flaws, it is still a good work. It also reflects some problems of self-employed people and smuggling, which has some practical significance..." Chen Qi thought for a while and said, "As for your performance, it has indeed improved a lot and is more delicate. Some inner dramas, micro-expressions, and changes in the level of eyes are all excellent. I will give it 78 points." "Why not 80 points?" "Because you are not good enough!" "Then I will continue to work hard!" Gong Xue did not refute. She knew that according to Chen Qi's strict standards, 80 points was the threshold for excellence. She said, "You are right. Only by acting in art films can you hone your acting skills. I have a deep understanding of this now. I feel that I have made progress in "Beautiful Life" and "Under the Bridge." "Have you been invited to any movies recently?" "Several of them are so-so, I turned them down. If it really doesn't work, forget it. I won't shoot this year and I will take a break." This year, she is preparing to have a baby. She will go to the United States in April and participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards in May. Her time is very fragmented. Chen Qi does have a story, but this work needs to be polished carefully and cannot be rushed. It will be left for her to shoot after her comeback. Gong Xue is in a good mood and really wants to take the opportunity to rest. Chen Qi will go to Hong Kong in a while, and she wants to go back to Shanghai to accompany her parents. Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Yi took Fei Xiang to shoot the MV.
These days, the MV is a bomb when it is thrown out. There is no need to think about it. There is really no creativity. It just goes to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the airport and other places, and then takes pictures of the sky and the clouds. The meaning of the wanderer returning home is enough. … Early in the morning of this day. Chen Qi is accompanying Gong Xue to paint, or rather, he is acting as a model for others. This is a serious model. He sits on a chair with clothes on, reading a book with his legs crossed, and looks deep. In fact, he can also be naked. He is thick-skinned, no problem. Gong Xue can't afford to lose that person. If it gets out, then he will jump into the river directly. It can be sold for hundreds of thousands at Sotheby's auction house in a few years. "Bang, bang, bang!" While painting, he heard the gate of the courtyard suddenly slam. Chen Qi put down his book, stood up and went out, saying, "What's the matter?" "A man named Qi Xingjia is looking for Sister Xue!" "Where is he from?" "He said he is a director from Changchun Film Studio!" "Let's go there now!" He called Gong Xue and went to the front yard together. In the reception room, a man in his 50s was sitting inside. He had an ordinary appearance and looked very tired. He stood up and said, "Comrade Gong Xue! Comrade Chen Qi! Sorry to bother you." "Hello, hello!" After shaking hands, the three of them sat down. Chen Qi asked about the reason. Qi Xingjia took out a script from his bag and said with a smile, "Changchun Film Studio is preparing a new play and would like to invite Comrade Gong Xue to star in it." He took it and took a look. The title of the film was "Red Skirts Are Popular on the Street" "What's it about?" "A fashion film! It's about a female worker in a cotton mill in Shanghai who likes to wear beautiful clothes, but is harassed by conservative forces. In the end, she dares to break through herself and live boldly and sincerely. Comrade Gong Xue is from Shanghai, and is recognized as fashionable and beautiful. She even wore a red skirt on the Spring Festival Gala. It couldn't be more suitable." "Now that you put it that way, she is really the chosen one!" "What did you choose?" Qi Xingjia didn't understand. "He likes to talk nonsense, don't pay attention to him!" Gong Xue pushed Chen Qi and said, "You go out first, I'll talk to the director. I'm not looking for you to film with me." "Okay, okay, you dislike me, I'm leaving!" He left with a look of grief and indignation, Gong Xue rolled her eyes, Qi Xingjia was surprised and amused, as if it was the first time he had seen a couple get along like this. Chen Qi ran to the editorial office next door to chat, and he was quite amused. "Red Skirts Are Popular on the Street" did not perform well and did not win any awards, but he would always bring it up when he mentioned the movie of that year, because it was the first fashion film in New China. It fits the background of the times very well. Young people want to break away from the monotonous colors of gray, blue and green, and are eager to pursue colorful and beautiful clothing, while some old-fashioned people can't stand this trend.
At that time, there was a popular game among young people, called "cutting skirts". Girls put on their best skirts and usually gathered in the park to see whose skirt was the most beautiful. At first, it was called "showing skirts", which meant to show off. Later, the desire to win was too strong, so it became "cutting skirts", which meant to kill the opponent. This setting is very interesting, but unfortunately the film is a bit conservative and does not reflect the style of a real fashion film. And Chen Qi thought more. He had never had much contact with Changchun Film Studio, but suddenly came to him. This routine is exactly the same as that of Shanghai Film Studio. "Everyone knows that I love my wife, so they all come to follow the wife route!" In terms of domestic production studios, Changchun Film Studio is the big brother, with the longest years and the deepest foundation. It has supported many talents and is one of the three giants with Beijing Film Studio and Shanghai Film Studio. However, since Wu Tianming has taken office, Xi'an Film Studio will soon rise. Han Sanping is expected to come out in Emei Film Studio. Chen Qi wants to do big things and naturally has to make friends with these companies. After a while, Gong Xue came over and said, "We had a good chat. I like this theme." "Do you want to act?" "Yes! I don't want to play a poor mother who is abandoned by a man and raises her child alone with a sad face all day long! I don't have a child myself, and I have played a mother three times!" Chen Qi was happy and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll talk to him again." He entered the reception room, and Qi Xingjia's expression immediately became serious. Both of them knew that the reform was imminent and they had their own preparations. Chen Qi didn't waste any words and said directly, "Gong Xue can act, but there are two things. First, if I think the script is not good, I will start to change it. Second, Gong Xue has a lot of things to do this year, and she may take leave. Please bear with me." "No problem!" Qi Xingjia didn't fight at all. It seems that the factory has given instructions in advance. "Okay, happy cooperation!" The two shook hands.
