Chapter 238: It's a Bathtub, Not a Fish Tank(1/2)
The breadth and depth of Chinese culture lies in the etymology of the same origin.
The word Bagua, as a culturally native philosophy, laid the foundation of Chinese civilization and also expanded the boundaries of thought.
"In ancient times, Bao Xi, the king of the world, looked up to observe the phenomena in the sky, and looked down to observe the laws on the earth; he observed the patterns of birds and beasts in harmony with the earth;
Taking the bodies near and objects far away, I began to make Bagua to understand the virtues of the gods and imitate the emotions of all things."
Bagua represents the ancient sages’ wisdom in answering natural and social phenomena.
At the same time, it is also used to explain the relationship between people and destiny. You can say Bagua, which is almost all-encompassing. If you want, you can use it to explain everything.
Although it may not be confirmed, it can be explained. This is the mystery of Bagua.
But in modern culture with the decline of traditional culture, the first impression of the word "gossip" in public perception is that it refers to gossip in the entertainment industry.
The origin of modern gossip is also very interesting. It can be traced back to the early print media era, when the jurisdiction over human body aesthetics was not so strict.
There were a large number of magazines showing the aesthetics of the human body in Xiangjiang, but the key parts were covered with Bagua patterns, which acted like a mosaic, and became very popular for a while.
However, just looking at pictures cannot satisfy human artistic pursuits, so in order to increase sales and increase the content of the magazine, the media will publish some tidbits and private lives of popular celebrities.
Later, the magazine discovered that vulgar content such as celebrities' private lives was more popular among consumers than art, and even indirectly expanded the influence of the entertainment industry.
Therefore, the magazine could only reluctantly cut off the content, reduce the artistic content, and finally evolved into simply reporting gossip news about celebrities to attract attention.
It only occasionally appears on the cover to recall the original intention, but the name of this kind of gossip magazine among the old users has been passed down among the people.
Just like many old traditional titles, they are almost invisible now, but the titles have been passed down.
Take the giant horse monkey, for example. No one can explain what it is, but it can scare children.
So even today’s magazines no longer use gossip patterns, which is sad.
And decades have passed, even though paper media has been eliminated, this gossip magazine model with random artistic covers is still active in the Internet era, but it has just changed its name.
It is now called a marketing account.
Therefore, the modern entertainment industry uses the word "gossip" to describe all kinds of news that are false. In fact, it is also a synonym.
But this application is really wonderful.
The reason why "Bagua" is Bagua is that it is illusory and may not have happened, but it has a probability of happening and is difficult to falsify.
Just like Wang Shifeng didn't even know who Zheng Qiu's little girlfriend was, the scandals were already spreading everywhere.
The director of a huge TV station who controls the viewing direction of more than a billion people.
Isn’t it really good to gossip like this when there is nothing serious to do every day?
Facing the old gossip Mr. Qian, Wang Shifeng was a little bit dumbfounded.
Moreover, the wonderful thing about Bagua is that as long as the matter conforms to a certain logic, it can be self-consistent with Bagua.
No matter how hard the parties involved explain it, it is difficult to explain it clearly.
This is the terrible thing about rumors.
It takes advantage of human beings' information cocoon psychology, allowing humans to only believe in their own judgment and understanding and give up on discerning the truth.
So Wang Shifeng never clarified any rumors about himself.
Unless it becomes profitable after clarification.
After promising Director Qian that he could appear on the show at any time, he accepted Zheng Qiu's challenge.
Wang Shifeng drove to the set first.
The signboard for [Xinfu] has been erected, the street is being renovated, and there are a large number of applicants and volunteers outside.
The originally depressed Longtu Yujing Community has become extremely lively, almost bustling with traffic.
It would be best if there were still reporters coming to take pictures at this time.
I walked around the set and couldn't find Xia Mengyao.
"She answered the phone before and hurried to the company. Do you have something urgent to do with her?" Zheng Youyun asked doubtfully.
"Oh, it was me who made the call." Wang Shifeng sneered.
In fact, it is easy to guess that there are only two or three people who can sign up for various programs through company channels and know their basic identity information.
Among them, only Xia Mengyao is so childish and boring.
It seems that my aunt still doesn't hurt her enough.
"What? You look so aggressive? Did she offend you?" Zheng Youyun looked at Wang Shifeng and said with a smile.
"Nothing, I just want to talk to her about the next few movies. What's your movie today?" Wang Shifeng waved his hand.
"Jump into the river." Zheng Youyun raised her hair with a complicated look on her face.
"Are you brewing emotions? In fact, you don't need to put too much psychological pressure. Just hold your breath and close your eyes. The rest will be left to post-editing.
The special effects are upgraded to tear-jerking music, and the atmosphere is directly filled, without having to consider the character's psychological state at all." Wang Shifeng said with a chuckle.
Zheng Youyun's face darkened when she heard this, "Directors will at least pretend to explain the play to the actors, focusing on the characters' emotions and background psychology. It's better for you. You do whatever you can to speed up the progress every day."
"I just told you, can you understand?" Wang Shifeng asked.
???
Do you look down on me?
Zheng Youyun's eyes widened and she felt a lump in her throat.
"Well, what I mean is that everyone understands scripts differently because of their different perspectives. What the director understands may not be correct, and what the actors understand may not be wrong.
The reason why movies are called art is because of the sparks that emerge after the collision of various positions, so I don't ask you to shoot according to my ideas, as long as the picture structure meets my aesthetic requirements.
What the rest of the film looks like depends entirely on how I edit it. When I edit it, you will find that the characters and plot may be completely different from what you understood at the time." Wang Shifeng explained with a smile.
Zheng Youyun frowned frequently after hearing this, "It sounds like you are perfunctory no matter what, don't think I don't know, your shooting method is the same as those directors who make big online movies to cheat money!"
"Justice is in the heart of the people. You will know how powerful I am when the film is edited." Wang Shifeng looked incomprehensible.
"I hope you won't ruin my debut film, otherwise I would rather learn how to edit myself and re-edit an actor's version!"
Zheng Youyun bared her little white teeth and said.
"Okay, if you are interested, I will give you the materials after the movie is released and you can edit it yourself." Wang Shifeng shrugged.
"Sometimes I really don't know if you are overconfident or arrogant. Why do you sound like your movie will be a big success after it is released?" Zheng Youyun was a little confused.
She admitted that Wang Shifeng was indeed very talented, but making movies was considered a cross-border career after all.
And it was still under such ‘difficult’ shooting conditions.
Almost the entire movie was completed by the actors’ ‘self-filming’!
"This is called realm, you don't understand." Wang Shifeng raised his chin and said, "Hurry up and shoot. It will be finished as soon as possible and released as soon as possible."
"Oh." Zheng Youyun looked hesitant when she heard this, as if she had something to hide.
"Do you...have any other questions?" Wang Shifeng saw this and felt that it was not a question of character understanding.
"Forget it, let me tell you, I'm actually on my period today, so it's not easy to get into the water." Zheng Youyun pursed her lips and said a little shyly.
"Why are all your recent relatives visiting together?" Wang Shifeng's mouth twitched.
Girls are so weird.
Even if we go to the toilet together, we can also come with our aunt. Is this some kind of metaphysics?
"I mean, if you are really in a hurry, I can overcome it." Zheng Youyun pursed her lips, feeling that she should be dedicated.
"So hard?" Wang Shifeng was a little surprised.
Originally I didn't plan to pay her for the movie, but now that she's working so hard, it's really touching.
"I'm still very dedicated. After all, I think filming is quite interesting." Zheng Youyun said with a grin.
It's not the standard fake smile from before.
"You are so dedicated, I will definitely not do anything to exploit actors." Wang Shifeng waved his hand.
"In three days at most, I can almost get into the water." Zheng Youyun said with some gratitude.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shifeng's conscience turned to be a human being!
"No, I'll just have someone heat the water in the swimming pool, and you can just take a bath." Wang Shifeng said calmly.
"..." Zheng Youyun's smile froze on her face and slowly turned into anger.
Bastard!
Is that a question of hot and cold water?
Hot spring bath during menstrual period?
You really dare to think about it, I'm afraid you have never seen what blood boiling is!
You are the devil!
Seeing that Zheng Youyun was about to curse, Wang Shifeng quickly reached out and pinched her face, interrupting her spellcasting.
