Chapter 58 The Power of Joy and Anger
Qi Yan also completed a task during the interval of the drama festival.
There are many independent perfumers in Paris, most of which are narrow and hidden in small alleys.He still relied on the guidance of He Qianqiu's friend and Google Maps to find a smelling shop called Green Florence.
He originally thought it would be similar to an essential oil store, but he didn't expect it to be a place full of sci-fi atmosphere.On the snow-white floor, transparent glass shelves are filled with glass bottles of various shapes.
The perfumer I contacted was a fat man in his early fifties. When he met Qi Yan in the studio, he was wearing a white coat, his hair was neatly tucked into a headscarf, and he was wearing black round glasses. Sniffing carefully with a test paper—more like a mad scientist than a perfumer.It makes people feel like they are on the wrong set.
The perfumer has a gorgeous name called Constantine. When he saw Qi Yan coming in, he put down the things in his hands properly and took off his rubber gloves before shaking hands with him. None of your customers know what they want, so I have prepared some semi-finished products for you."
The old man approached him, sniffed it, and smiled thoughtfully, "It smells like love."
When Qi Yan heard the translation, he was so embarrassed that Constantine turned around and knocked on the table, muttering to himself, "There are bergamot, gentian, white musk...the smell of a mature gentleman, it doesn't suit you at all."
Qi Yan continued to be embarrassed, "I didn't use perfume..."
Constantine led him into the reception room, nodded absently, "That's the smell your lover leaves on you."
It's not a dog... Qi Yan hid his face, feeling that the description was getting darker and darker, so he didn't say any more.
The perfumer took a lockbox and opened it to reveal dozens of neatly arranged small test tubes with a capacity of 3ml. He explained: "I guess you like woody notes, but in fact you are more suitable for floral and fruity notes, so For a compromise, try the green fragrance." He opened one, dripped it on the paper, fanned it a few times, and a slightly bitter and light refreshing fragrance spread out.
Qi Yan took a deep breath and felt comfortable all over his body. He thought about it carefully, "This is bamboo?"
Constantine smiled and nodded, and took out a few more from the box, "How do you feel, describe it as clearly as possible."
There is the smell of reed flowers by the big river, the smell of plantains after the rain, and even the smell of seaweed.
Qi Yan experienced them one by one, and at the end he couldn't tell the difference. When he was resting, Constantine's assistant poured him a glass of water.
Constantine looked at him and tapped his knuckles on the table thoughtfully, "That man... has a strong desire to control, isn't it hard work?"
Qi Yan realized that he was talking about He Qianqiu, and shook his head blankly, "I don't think so, I can smell this too?"
Constantine smiled complacently, and tapped his nose with his finger, "Just by smelling it, you can understand a person. You can understand what job you do, what your personality is, how many lovers you have, what you like, what experience you have. Clearly."
Qi Yan thought that this was indeed a model of smelling people, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Then what kind of person do I smell like?"
A gentle smile appeared on Konstantin's fat face, and he crossed his fingers on the table, "You have a heavy past."
Qi Yan was stunned.
"Those dark, desperate, bloody bitter tastes, wrapped in a beautiful sugar coating called love and forgiveness."
As expected of an artist, even after the interpretation of the secondary processing of translation, it is still so dreamy.
"I also smell the sadness and loneliness that have been isolated, imprisoned, and put away. It's like a piece of ambergris, which has a strong, maybe not very pleasant smell, but it has to be sealed and filled with jasmine. The small and fresh taste is a disguise. Even if the first impression is warm and gentle, fraternal and compassionate, after a long time of contact, you will be able to see through that layer of hypocrisy."
The assistant lady in charge of translation saw that Constantine's words became more and more outrageous, and the atmosphere became a little awkward, so she hurriedly smoothed things over, "Master, are you a magician or a perfumer?"
Constantine showed a penetrating smile, "My nose never goes wrong."
Qi Yan slowly tightened his fingers, but he didn't refute a word.
He finally chose two kinds of colognes, one with white musk as the base, with herbal fragrances such as lemon mint and vetiver. Mixed with a little ocean fragrance, it was prepared for He Qianqiu.
Constantine did not tell him those messy conclusions later, and after debugging four times, he determined the formula, each with one liter, and packed them in handmade rectangular glass bottles.When Qi Yan came to pick it up, he said enthusiastically, "Next time I bring your lover here, I'll help you find out if he's having an affair."
Qi Yan smiled dryly: "Thank you, no need..."
The task panel shows:
Process 25: Gather five independent producers. (progress [-])
Process 410: Collect all ten categories of independent works. (Progress [-])
Qi Yan said, "It's about time you woke up, right?"
Unfortunately, Messiah 2.0 still ignored him.
He followed He Qianqiu back to the country in a low-key manner. After all, the riot was across the Pacific Ocean, and it has basically subsided now.In order to record the new album, Bi Wenning helped him filter out most of the invitations.
However, he still took a few more glances at a certain message.It was a new TV series that a well-known TV drama director in the industry was preparing to shoot. It was about a pair of lovers who lived and died and parted, and their magnificent life.The time span from the Republic of China to reform and opening up happened to be the most turbulent period in modern Chinese history.
He was deeply impressed by this TV series because it was the highest achievement of director Mu Yuan's life. Its ratings exploded, and it almost won all the sub-categories of the Feitian and Golden Eagle awards that year.
In his previous life, Du Feng won the Fei Tian Award for Best Supporting Actor because he played the second male lead in this TV series.
Qi Yan stroked his chin and hesitated. In fact, he also liked it very much. In this impetuous era where entertainment resources are abundant and most people are chasing short-term interests and flashy effects, there is such a high-quality TV series that is unanimously recognized by experts and audiences. , is really rare.
The script itself was adapted from an unpublished novel by a long-dead writer.He experienced that era personally, and this story is also adapted from reality, which is said to be the story of the old man's cousin.
The male protagonist based on his uncle has a good family background, he is considered a big local landlord, so the family sent him to study abroad.It was the time when the book business was flourishing, and in the most lush and beautiful era, beside the Cambridge Bridge where water lotuses were in full bloom, he met his favorite lover.
But the family had already engaged him in a marriage, and the other party was a dignified, virtuous, very traditional and conservative lady.The two families are good friends, and they were married with their fingertips, but at that time, the warlords were fighting, and the fiancée's family was in trouble and went bankrupt.
Fortunately, there are in-laws to rely on, so when the hero and the heroine just fell in love, the family suddenly told him that he had a fiancee and urged him to come back and get married.
The male protagonist did not "challenge the old habits and fight against the authority of the patriarch of the feudal family, just to pursue the freedom of spirit and love" like some romantic talents of that era, nor did he follow the men of the old era, offering his wife, and then Take a few concubines.
He just took it all on, and after clarifying with the hostess, he returned to China and got married.
He was absolutely categorical with the heroine, only saying that she was born at an untimely time, and that there was no destiny for her.
I also made it clear to my wife that there is no way to give her love and spend time with her, but I must respect her and protect her and my future children for the rest of my life.
Not long after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the hero joined the army and joined the national army.
Then came the long eight-year Anti-Japanese War and four-year civil war. The heroine joined the Communist Army and became an underground worker, appearing beside the hero in order to obtain information.
After that, there were various entanglements and various battles. The male protagonist finally stood on the side of the Communist army and assisted it in rescuing many prisoners.
Until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the male protagonist still stayed in Nanjing and refused to leave with the troops. He was supposed to be on the day of death, and even wrote a suicide note to his wife, but the female protagonist discouraged him from dying. amnesty.
In short, the male protagonist experienced the war, survived the civil strife, and lived to the 80s.
His first wife died of famine, and only one of his four children survived.
The woman he loves so much is already married and has a lot of children and grandchildren.
In the end, the male protagonist passed away safely, holding a pen tightly in his hand, and told his son that he didn't need anything else, but he must be buried with the pen.
That pen was the only gift the heroine gave to the hero.
At that time, the heroine was already pale and old, and when she saw the pen in his hand in the mourning hall, she knelt before the mourning and wept uncontrollably.
The love between these two people spanned half a century, from the beginning to the end, they were in love and ended in courtesy, they passed each other forever, and never achieved a positive result.In the end, it has nothing to do with love, but an obsession, an untouchable utopia that exists in the fantasy of two people.This is a traditional romantic tragedy.
——The second half is a certain film review, and most viewers don't care.What they see is the joys and sorrows, the sadness that cannot be expected, and the hero's self-restraint and cautiousness that is almost martyrdom.
Du Feng plays the hero's friend and the heroine's later husband, which is also a contradictory role.He admired the male lead, but fell in love with the female lead, and finally married her knowing that the female lead missed the male lead.In all fairness, Du Feng still had some ability to play this role well.
The characters in this play span the ages of teenagers, youth, middle-aged and old people. The requirements for actors are very strict. It is a challenge and an opportunity. If they succeed, they will get more recognition.
Qi Yan opened the email and looked at it, and sure enough, he was invited to act as the second male lead.
Although he wanted to pick it up very much, he still felt a subtle discomfort of picking up someone else's things.But the opportunity was so good that Qi Yan was entangled.
Luo Yiping saw him staring at an email with a frowning face, and leaned over to read it, "Actually, Sister Wenning said that although she screened three scripts for you, she still hopes you can accept this one the most. The time can be staggered, and you follow Director Kimoto can learn a lot."
Qi Yan said, "I'll think about it again."
He was actually recording the latest one-hour miracle, and while he was waiting to shoot the last few shots, he half-lyed on the armchair in the dressing room and read the script while he was resting.
At this time, Ye Jin suddenly ran in. She was one of the guests in this issue, and Yao Yufei was added. The three of them had a great time working together.
Ye Jin grabbed the phone and came in yelling: "Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, have you seen Teacher Kong's music review?"
Qi Yan was stunned, "What music review?"
Luo Yiping winked at Ye Jin from the side. Ye Jin saw it, and then realized it belatedly, covered his mouth, and shook his head vigorously, causing his curly hair to fly.
Qi Yan turned his head sharply, just in time to catch Luo Yiping, his face darkened, "What's going on?"
Luo Yiping laughed dryly, "It's nothing...it's just that Mr. Kong Tianbao wrote a review article about your album..."
Kong Tianbao, the No. 1 popular song music critic, anyone who is in the music world knows it.Harsh, demanding, merciless, yet even-handed.
Although Qi Yan felt a little surprised, but seeing Luo Yiping's secretive attitude, he had a premonition that it was not a good evaluation.
He took out his mobile phone and searched for keywords, and found the review article.
More than 2000 words are eloquent, and they are evaluated one by one from the arrangement, lyrics to singers.
Qi Yan first scanned his comments on the lyrics, and found that he didn't say anything bad, so he scanned down the comments on the singer.
——Speaking of singers, Qi Yan has a wide range of voice, solid basic skills, and shows off his skills naturally, showing off high notes, singing broken notes, punk, r&b, hip-hop, folk songs, and various styles at his fingertips.The articulation is also crisp and neat, and you can hardly find any shortcomings in his singing—and this is precisely his biggest shortcoming.
In other words, lack of a strong personal identity.
——Writing conveys the truth, and songs express emotion. Songs lacking in emotion are like dim buildings in the dark, which will be forgotten in a blink of an eye.
——Actually, Qi Yan has done a good job as an idol singer, but the emotional expression of many songs is superficial.Expressions for the sake of expressions, and love for the sake of showing love, but they can't touch the things deep in the soul.
——He seems to be particularly fond of sunny styles and songs, and he performs best in singing such songs, but he is not good at dealing with some sharp emotions, especially anger.Once he encounters a similar emotional expression, he will skillfully use his skills to bypass it.For example, use treble and vibrato, but don't experience the real emotion in the music.
——However, for music, anger is the best energy, which can turn ordinary people into butterflies and leave a name in history.Singers with emotional defects may be able to hand in full marks, but they cannot leave a name in the history of music.This is the difference between a craftsman and an artist—or, to put it simply, a singer and an artist.
This comment is like pointing at an author who loves to write sweet pet novels and criticizing: You can’t become a master if you can’t write abusive essays that make people cry. Qi Yan suddenly feels depressed and doesn’t know what to do To vent the anger.
But being evaluated by two people one after another as being emotionally deficient—although Constantine said it cryptically, but the meaning he expressed was similar to that of Kong Tianbao—was like a blow to the head, which shattered his confidence.
