Chapter 72 Cannes Film Festival (please give me a monthly ticket)(1/2)
If you have a certificate, you'll be fine.
Ding Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Gao Yuanyuan would send him in.
But even if you have a certificate, you can't go to the park to practice with it, otherwise the police will catch you.
You won't be jailed, but confiscation is certain.
This thing can only be played in your own yard.
After completely unsheathing the sword, Ding Xiu came to the center of the yard, held the sword in both hands and practiced his sword skills.
The air was full of swishing sounds, and every move was filled with murderous intent.
Qi's sword technique, also called Xinyou sword technique, was created by General Qi Jiguang. This sword technique takes the strengths of the Japanese sword technique and makes up for the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty sword technique. Every move is aimed at the enemy's vital points.
The Miao knife that Ding Xiu is holding now weighs several kilograms. With his strength, if he cuts a person with one knife, his life will basically be amputated.
In ancient times, medical treatment was underdeveloped. Anyone who received such a knife on the battlefield would not survive in 1989.
"good!"
After Ding Xiu finished practicing a set of sword skills, Qin Gang was the first to take the lead in applauding, and Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo also clapped. One was envious, and the other was not envious.
Wang Baoqiang coveted Ding Xiu's martial arts and longed for this kind of real Kung Fu that could be used in actual combat, but Ding Xiu would not teach him.
Huang Bo's mentality is different from Wang Baoqiang's. He has no foundation in martial arts and knows that he can't learn it in a day or two. He doesn't want to learn it, he just wants to watch the fun.
To put it bluntly, in modern society, kung fu is of no use. If you have something to do, just go to the police.
After putting the sword into its sheath, Ding Xiu exhaled. He hadn't practiced so vigorously for a long time and said to Gao Yuanyuan:
"Thank you, I like this knife very much."
"As long as you like it, I will help you keep an eye on it when you meet someone better in the future."
Not far away, Qin Lan was annoyed that she didn't think of bringing a gift. She lowered her head and looked at herself, but there was nothing she could offer.
Putting the knife into the box, Ding Xiu took it back to the room. When he came out, Gao Yuanyuan and everyone had already eaten.
Drinking beer and eating skewers, everyone was having a good time.
Wang Baoqiang also performed a section of Vajra Arhat Boxing that he learned in the Shaolin Temple. At the end of the move, he was doing the Drunken Arhat move, and he was just about to stand up in preparation for the carp strike.
His eyes suddenly caught sight of Qin Lan feeding chicken drumsticks to Ding Xiu.
"Crack."
The carp has no strength and cannot stand up.
Finally, the carp turned over, got up from the ground, sat back down to its original position, and ate the barbecue silently.
He sat back, and Huang Bo, who was not willing to be outdone, came on the stage. He took out the TV and connected it to the microphone and stereo to sing, and he sang the adapted version of Tears of a Dancer.
"One wrong step and a lifetime of mistakes"
"Beijing Diao Group Acts for Life"
"The extras are human beings too"
"To whom can I tell the pain in my heart?"
"For the persecution of life"
"Every tear fell down my stomach."
"Is this life?"
"Destined to live in that dusty life"
The song "Tears of the Ensemble" made Qin Lan and Wang Baoqiang extremely sad and depressed.
They all come from the bottom, and they know the sadness better than anyone else.
Don't look at Qin Lan dressing up every day when she goes out. Before she got the role of "The Love of the Tang Dynasty", she had always lived in a basement.
Nine square meters, still shared with other girls.
The conditions are not much better than the basement where Ding Xiu and the others lived.
Not to mention Wang Baoqiang, who fell into the hands of Qin Gang before. Seeing that he was small, he was only given fifteen yuan a day for twenty yuan.
The worst part was when he was a stand-in and was kicked four or five times by someone wearing military boots. The hardest one kicked him directly into a ditch.
That day I had bruises and purple spots on my chest.
It's not easy for Huang Bo either. In pursuit of his dream of becoming an actor, he still failed to get into Nortel at the age of 27 and stayed up late every day to study.
Even if he can pass the exam this year, he will be twenty-eight when he enrolls next year and thirty-two when he graduates.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Ding Xiu raised his glass and said, "Thank you all for coming to help despite your busy schedule. Here's a toast to you."
"Old Huang, stay strong and drink less. I won't send you back when you're drunk."
"Yuanyuan, Xiaolan, have a good time. If you can't go back, you can stay here with me."
As soon as Ding Xiu opened his mouth, he changed the mood. Qin Gang laughed and said: "I drove here today and didn't drink. Don't worry, I will definitely send them all back."
"Old Qin, you renovated my house and you were the first to do it. I'd like to toast you."
Qin Gang raised his Coke cup and clinked it with Ding Xiu: "I'm tired of drinking with those directors and producers every day. Now I feel like vomiting when I see the wine."
Qin Lan said: "Last time, Brother Qin drank and vomited blood and went to the hospital."
Ding Xiu looked at Qin Gang: "I didn't hear what you said."
"What's there to say? Aren't you all working very hard on the set? Everyone is working."
After taking a sip of Coke and eating chicken wings, Qin Gang said: "Since you have chosen me, I can't let you down."
"You still remember Wang Jinhua, who wanted to sign you?"
When the name was mentioned suddenly, Ding Xiu felt a little unfamiliar. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he said, "Which one will I regret?"
Qin Gang nodded: "That's right. A few days ago, she joined the big company Huayi Film and Television and became the director of the artist department. If you had followed her, you might have become famous based on your conditions."
In the past two years, domestic brokerage companies and film and television companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
First, the Music King was established on Hong Kong Island, and a large number of Hong Kong artists signed up to join the group to keep warm and prepare to go north to the mainland.
Brokerage companies are also being established one after another in the mainland, constantly signing artists and grabbing the film and television market.
Huayi is undoubtedly the leader among them. Many of its artists are on the front lines of the industry, and they have a lot of resources thanks to their support from the Beijing circle.
"I won't go even if it's red."
Ding Xiu's tone was very firm, which moved Qin Gang very much.
"I can't beat a professional brokerage company like this."
Qin Gang had a dark face.
Emotional Ding Xiu joined Qin Chao Entertainment because he had seniors and juniors, and there was nothing he could do to support his family.
Leaning on the chair with his hands spread wide, Ding Xiu looked at the stars in the sky and said, "I prefer freedom to making money."
If he has money, he drinks Maotai. If he doesn't have money, he drinks Tsingtao beer. It's no big deal to him. He still hangs out with girls and lives the same life.
But it’s impossible without freedom.
Large companies have many resources and relatively large constraints.
He is not the kind of person who stands up and down, so he respects social rules and comes to Qin Gang's company.
Ding Xiu's words made Gao Yuanyuan and others deeply moved. They couldn't do this. Unless they really have deep feelings, no one would want to go to higher places.
"Cheers to freedom." Qin Gang raised his Coke and said.
"cheers."
"A song about love for country and beauty is given to you." Ding Xiu came to the front and took Huang Bo's microphone.
Some time ago, he accompanied Gao Yuanyuan to watch the 1994 version of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon. He didn't learn much about his acting skills, but he did know how to sing.
"The Tao cannot extinguish the extravagant love in this mortal world"
“I can’t finish my grudges in the world”
"Eternity is a destiny"
…
"Love the country more than love the beauty"
"Which hero would rather be alone?"
"The good boy is full of courage"
"Ambition and pride spread far and wide"
…
Ding Xiu is not a music major and has no singing skills. All he sings about is emotion and experience.
When this song comes out of his mouth, it has a feeling of being free and easy, heroic, and seeing through the world of mortals.
