Senior Superstar

Chapter 541

"My father is in good health."

Seeing Liu Wenqiang confused by his jumping thinking, Li Shixin smacked his mouth when he answered dully.

"He's in good health...that's really a pity."

"Huh?" Liu Wenqiang frowned.

"Oh, I said your father should be almost 70 this year, right?"

"No, no, my father and my mother got married early, and they are only sixty-five this year. They should be one year younger than you. Mr. Li, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Facing Liu Wenqiang's doubts, the faint smile on Li Shixin's face gradually turned into a faint sadness.

Sighing: "I used to be a member of the Hongqi Repertory Theater in Beijing. You must know Director Liu. But Director Liu only knows one thing about my experience and doesn't know the other."

Originally, Liu Wenqiang was very interested in the Hongqi Repertory Troupe, but because there were too many bigwigs involved in this matter, he never dared to ask in CCTV.

Now seeing the unnatural expression on Li Shixin's face, he couldn't help his curiosity: "Old Li, what are you referring to?"

Li Shixin sat upright on the chair and sighed: "After my teacher, Mr. Sun Zhongjing's accident, the Hongqi Repertory Troupe was actually disbanded. I was affected by this incident, and I suffered a lot for a while. I have experienced many things. After everything is over, I thought that this life will be a good one. When will I die? When will I go back to the capital to find a cemetery for burial? It can be regarded as falling leaves returning to their roots. However, there is an unfilial son in the house."

Under Liu Wenqiang's curious baby-like gaze, Li Shixin briefly explained his experience before debut in a mournful tone.

At the end, he wiped away the two old tears that he had forcefully squeezed out, and sighed: "Director Liu, there are only cruel sons and daughters in the world, but no cruel parents. Although my son is not filial, I still have a strong heart." Thinking about it! You are about the same age as my son, seeing you makes me feel the same as seeing my son."

Wiping his tears, Li Shixin looked at Liu Wenqiang who was full of sorrow with kind eyes.

The boy smashed it, but the old man gave you the initiative.

Whether you are on the right track or not, it depends on you!

But he didn't want to, after hearing Li Shixin's tragic experience, Liu Wenqiang just smacked his lips.

"I really didn't expect Mr. Li's experience to be so tortuous, but don't be sad, you see that you are living well now that you are free from your cruel son? By the way, what do you think of the matter I told you?" Like? In fact, you don’t need to do anything else, you don’t need to prepare for this piece, just give me a script, and when the crew is ready, you can act as a director on the set!”

Nothing!

You don't know how to grasp such a good opportunity, the two tears that the blind old man squeezed out are pimples!

Liu Wenqiang missed the trick, and Li Shixin didn't answer. Instead, he turned his head to the side, ignoring Liu Wenqiang who was staring at him eagerly, and listened attentively to the play "Suolin Bag" that was being performed on the stage downstairs.

Li Shixin now understands Liu Wenqiang's careful thinking.

The idea of ​​a variety show director wanting to make a movie is not an exception in the circle; whether it is Zhu Hao, who is doing free work in Jing'an Cemetery, or Liu Wenqiang, who is doing a program on CCTV, it is not exempt from this.

It's like if he doesn't make a movie, the director's reputation will be wrong.

Does the director of the CCTV column have an interview?

Having worked on CCTV programs for more than ten years, I have come into contact with many celebrities in the entertainment industry. Backed by CCTV, which big name would be disobedient in front of Liu Wenqiang?

Speaking of cards, there must be.

But in terms of status, he is really not good in the director circle.

Except for a few media awards, variety shows have not received mainstream recognition, and variety shows have no direct box office.

No matter how well a variety show is done, the protagonists will always be the host and guests in the variety show.

Among other things, let's talk about "Running Man" and Kuaiben, which has been popular for more than ten years. They all know Zhang Kai, Li Chen, Deng Chao, Lu Han, Angela Baba, and even a few hosts in "Quick Book" are almost masters in the industry, and not many people know who the director is.

Variety shows, in the final analysis, rely on the support of celebrity traffic. No matter how good the program is, the audience will not associate it with the director.

Even if it is a program like "Story China".

So the variety show director came out of the platform and stood next to the serious film and television drama director, and naturally he was half short.

There is also a chain of contempt in the circle of directors; those who make movies look down on those who make documentaries, those who make documentaries look down on those who make TV dramas, and those who make TV dramas look down on those who make variety shows—and then everyone despises those who make short videos.

The most interesting thing is the Spring Festival Gala. Film directors like Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou can randomly join the Spring Festival Gala as chief directors, and take the spotlight as a variety show director across disciplines, which can explain the problem.

Any ambitious director at the end of the scorn chain wants to make a movie or something to raise his status.

It is a good thing that Liu Wenqiang invited himself to make a film. After so many years in CCTV, Liu Wenqiang definitely has no shortage of resources.

However, as a screenwriter and director, Li Shixin has no interest at all.

These two positions are the second line behind the scenes!

When our old Li was down and down, wasn't he always a C position everywhere?

He doesn't recognize his godfather, and he doesn't want the old man carry to be a second-tier player.

Bad review.

quit!

At this time, the excerpt "Suo Lin Nang" on the first floor has been sung.

Although I haven't studied Peking Opera in depth, Li Shixin often listens to this play. Cheng Pai's singing has obvious characteristics, but it's obvious that the dan role downstairs is a bit weak, and he failed to reflect the essence of this excerpt.

Fortunately no one cares.

It is estimated that the boss invited this theater troupe over to give the restaurant a scene.

Even when it was meal time, there were several tables of guests in the lobby on the first floor, but no one was paying attention to the stage.

Amidst the high-spirited talk that had absolutely nothing to do with Peking Opera, Hua Dan on the stage bowed respectfully to the audience.

"good!"

The private room on the second floor was diagonally opposite to the stage on the first floor. From the window of the private room, Li Shixin stood up and said hello to Hua Dan who was taking the curtain call.

Hearing the movement from Li Shixin's side, Xiao Huadan, who was about the same age as An Xiaoxiao, was taken aback for a moment, but she couldn't see her face clearly on the stage. Turning around, he made a blessing to Li Shixin.

"Old Li..."

On the side, seeing that Li Shixin didn't care about him at all, Liu Wenqiang groaned with embarrassment.

"Director Liu, I may be busy with things recently. And it's not like you don't know about scripts, you need inspiration. Let's talk about this later."

"Old Li, what... what's the matter?"

Before inviting Li Shixin, Liu Wenqiang had done his homework.

Although Li Shixin is not very famous now, there are already rumors in the circle about what happened after he entered the entertainment industry.

Liu Wenqiang still knew about the old man's situation.

Facing the question, Li Shixin smiled faintly, and picked up the teacup in front of him.

"Me, this time I came to the capital mainly to participate in the show, but I don't plan to go back to the Rong shop for a short time. I think, set up a drama theater here in the capital."

Amid Liu Wenqiang's egg pain, Li Shixin smiled slightly.

"In the name of my teacher's Mr. Sun Zhongjing, set up a repertory theater."
