Regarding Yu Dong's works, Su Tong did not continue to talk. He also knew that it would be useless no matter how much he said.
At this time, they each had their cards in their hands. The bright card was taken by Zhang Yimou. He held the card and pondered for a long time, and finally threw out a 3 helplessly.
When Su Tong saw Zhang Yimou throw out a 3, he laughed and followed with a 4.
"I can also give this card away, it's amazing."
Gong Li followed Zhang 7.
Yu Dong didn't have a single card in his hand, so he directly played King Zhang.
Zhang Yimou raised his thumb and said, "Teacher Yu's path is wild, I can pass it."
Gong Li didn't seem to be very good at playing poker. The cards she held in her hand were intertwined. She looked closely at them for a long time and finally found four cards: "Four Zhong Chuhong."
The other three people were all stunned, four Zhong Chuhong?
But when they saw the cards on the table, they all understood.
The two decks of playing cards in their hands were all printed with portraits of celebrities in Xiangjiang, including Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Ming, Cheng Shiduo...
And Zhong Chuhong was printed on the 6. Gong Li printed four 6s, which were exactly four Zhong Chuhong.
Yu Dong also followed suit, "One plum blossom is Zhong Chuhong, one is plum blossom Cheng Shiduo, one is plum blossom Liu Dehua, one is plum blossom Qiu Shuzhen, one is plum blossom Lin Qingxia - a perfect flush!"
Zhang Yimou was not to be outdone: "Five Lin Qingxia!"
Although it was his first time to play egg-flipping, Zhang Yimou already understood the essence of it. When he played the cards, he raised his arms high and slapped the "five Lin Qingxia" heavily on the table.
The so-called "beat the egg", "beat the egg", when the bomb is released, you must beat it.
Lin Qingxia and others were pushed on the table, still looking at Yu Dong and others with gentle smiles.
The next scene was a bit strange, with words such as "a pair of Cheng Shiduo" and "two Liu Dehua" constantly heard in the room.
The proprietress waiting in the main room outside was confused. Are these people really playing poker?
…
At first, Yu Dong thought it was strange that such an activity as playing cards before dinner happened between Su Tong and Zhang Yimou. After the card game was over, he realized that no matter what type or circle of people they were, they all
A happy and wanton egg-smashing session, the passion can be tapped out.
Gong Li, who seemed a bit aloof before, began to talk more and her charisma returned to this popular female star. She would often joke with them and tell some interesting things about her and Zhang Yimou on the set.
Zhang Yimou seemed to be very interested in egg-cracking, so much so that when the dishes were all served and he was about to eat, his expression was still a bit reluctant, as if he wanted to fight for another 300 rounds.
The main reason is that I lose too much.
He and Gong Li were in a group. Initially, neither of them were familiar with the rules, and Gong Li's poker skills were extremely poor. Basically, they were crushed every time.
As for Yu Dong and Su Tong, Su Tong's performance was average, mainly relying on Yu Dong.
Yu Dong has played many times, and playing with them naturally has a huge advantage. No matter whether it is good or bad cards, he can always lead Su Tong to victory.
In the end, Zhang Yimou was a little doubtful: Is this egg-breaking method a new method? Why did Teacher Yu play it so smoothly?
Yu Dong replied shamelessly: Without it, you are gifted.
During the meal, Zhang Yimou was still discussing the rules of egg-cracking with them. He wanted to memorize these rules so that he could promote them on other occasions in the future. At the same time, he also put down his rhetoric and wanted to wait until the next meeting to fight again, so as to avenge the previous shame.
After chatting about eggs, they talked about the movie "Raise the Red Lantern" again. Zhang Yimou wants to take the movie to the film festival next year, hoping to win some awards. He is very confident in his work.
.
Su Tong expressed congratulations, but it was obvious that although the movie was adapted from his novel, he was not very interested in the movie.
Yu Dong can understand Su Tong, because when the novel was handed over to Zhang Yimou for adaptation, it was actually another work. Compared with the original work, "Raise the Red Lantern" is obviously very different, and the latter seems more direct.
This is not to blame Zhang Yimou, but because the novel and the movie themselves are two different forms of expression. If Zhang Yimou really followed the novel completely, I am afraid he would not be able to capture the subtle feeling of being there, even if he could.
When it comes out, it’s hard for the audience to see it.
Movies need to use things that are more conflictual and visible to the naked eye to show the plot, so that the audience can intuitively feel the theme of the movie.
Novels are different. A simple description of a scene or a vague image in a novel can lead readers into a boundless imaginative space.
Not to mention the difference between movies and novels, there are also big differences between novels and dramas.
Drama has a higher, more direct need for conflict.
Chekhov said: If a gun appears in the first act, it must go off in the third act.
All details in drama play a role.
This does not mean that the details in the novel are useless, but there are some details in the novel that do not need to be directly shown to the readers.
If Chekhov's drama theory is followed, I am afraid that avant-garde writers will bear the brunt of criticism. Many readers will not know what they are talking about after reading the novels of avant-garde writers.
During the dinner, Yu Dong also learned from Zhang Yimou's words the purpose of their visit to Jinling this time. They did not come here specifically to visit Su Tong, but they happened to have an event in Jinling tomorrow, so they stopped by to take a look.
Because they have to attend events during the day tomorrow, they did not drink alcohol tonight, but had tea instead.
After having a meal for nearly two hours, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li stood up to say goodbye.
"Teacher Yu, next time I have time, I will come over to teach you your poker skills."
Before leaving, Zhang Yimou held Yu Dong's hand and was still talking about playing cards, but he didn't think of mentioning Yu Dong's works at all. It was obvious that he really didn't take this matter to his heart.
Yu Dong didn't care. Meeting Zhang Yimou today was a surprise. It was thanks to Su Tong, so he didn't think about having more interactions with Zhang Yimou and the others.
He is not very interested in people in the film and television industry, that is, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li are famous enough, but if it were any other celebrities, he might not know them.
After Zhang Yimou and the others left, Su Tong smiled and asked him, "How do you feel?"
Yu Dong shrugged his shoulders, "I feel like I was fooled by you today, but the close contact has subverted my impression of the two of them."
"Yeah." Su Tong nodded, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out one and lit it himself. He had been holding it in for a long time.
Taking a deep breath, Su Tong continued: "Don't underestimate movies. In the future, the development of film and television dramas will get better and better, and they will become more and more closely related to literature."
Yu Dong smiled, how could he underestimate movies?
