When Shen Long came in, he looked a little familiar with him. So when I asked him who he guessed, Li An is now studying at the New York University Film Production Institute; there are two film centers in the United States, one is the famous Hollywood, and the other In New York, this is the site of an art filmmaker represented by Woody Allen, and Woody Allen lives in Greenwich Village, so it is not surprising that Ang appeared here.
"This is my girlfriend Lin Huijia. The two accents came from the mainland?" Li An also introduced his girlfriend to them and looked at them curiously.
"Yes, we used to work in the Beijing Symphony Orchestra. I played the cello and she played the violin. She just arrived in the United States for a month." Shen Long glanced at Lin Huijia. This is an amazing woman. It can be said that Li Anneng has future achievements. , And Lin Huijia's support for him is inseparable.
Two years later, Li An graduated from New York University with a graduation title "The Demarcation Line" and obtained a master's degree. The film won the Best Director Award and Best Film Award from the New York University Wasserman Award. Since then, Li An has been at home for 6 years. During this time, he read, watched movies, wrote scripts, and took care of all housework, laundry, cooking, and cleaning. Health and family expenses are independently borne by Lin Huijia, his wife who is still studying for a PhD in biology at the University of Illinois.
During these six years, Li An and Lin Huijia also gave birth to two sons. The family ’s burden fell on her, and many relatives and friends could n’t see it. They said to her,
Most Chinese students do n’t give up for reality. Interest? "
After Li An realized that he was not satisfied, secretly learning computers to find a job, was discovered by Lin Huijia, and cursed, "So many computers are learned, and you are not worse than Li An!" Li An was able to persevere.
Seeing the two of them, Shen Long remembered another big director, Chen Kaige, who had met in "Ordinary World" and came to Greenwich Village a few years later. During his stay in the United States, Chen Kaige They all rely on the support of his wife Hong Huang. Do you have to eat some soft food for a long time to become a big director?
Guo Yan was also kind to see the Chinese, and asked, "The two are from Baodao? What are you doing in New York?"
"I studied at the New York University Film Production Training Institute, and Hui Jia was studying for a doctorate in microbiology at the University of Illinois." Li An replied with some shyness.
As a result, Shen Long was able to cut in from the perspective of the movie and chatted with Li An. He had opened a film company in Hollywood, and had collaborated with major directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. Almost immediately, Li An was very speculative.
Lin Huijia and Guo Yan also had a great conversation there, and even waited for dinner, they also invited Li An and Lin Huijia to visit their own homes. Shen Long and Guo Yan pulled a "Liang Zhu" for them and won The praise of Li An and Lin Huijia.
After the performance, four people sat in the living room, chatting casually with beer like those Americans, talking about Li An ’s latest work,
I like Chinese food culture very much, so I ’m going to take a film about I have already written the short film of Chinese food, so I call it "I Love Chinese Food."
Shen Long nodded slightly, and Li An integrated his preferences for Chinese food culture into the movie. In the future, "Eating Men and Women" starring Lang Xiong and Wu Qianlian, the opening scene of the cooking scene can see Shen Long talking.
"The five-minute short film doesn't cost much, and the school has the equipment, but it's not easy to find a chef who is good at Chinese cuisine in New York. I have found a few chefs, and they have no time." Li An these days Worried about this, he hasn't started the life of a family husband, and the cooking has not yet been practiced.
"This my wife will." He didn't say to himself, it was enough to deal with this kind of small film Guo Yan. The lonely one always had a little friend. It was good to take Guo Yan and Lin Huijia as girlfriends.
It took two or three days to help Ang Li film this short film, and the relationship between the two became intimate. The two finally had their first friends in New York.
During Shen Long ’s occasional exposure to the film and the familiarity with the photographic equipment, Li An was surprised, and even joked, "Qi Ming, should n’t you work in a movie studio before?"
This is really not true. I just learned two hands with Lao Mouzi. To say this photography skill, you can't beat him. Shen Long passed with a smile.
First, I found a house and moved, and then helped Li An to make a short film. When they returned to the performance venue outside the Lincoln Art Center, it had been a week.
"Wang, I thought you weren't coming!" Robert and Boris and others greeted them happily, and then took out the cello and violin, and began a new day of performance.
This life continued for another month. When the month ended, Guo Yan began to calculate the accounts according to her habits. This was calculated, and Guo Yan frowned.
"Okay, we made less money this month than last month." Both of them used to pay a fixed salary in the symphony orchestra. Guo Yan was not yet adapted to the rhythm of this income change. "This month adds up to three Thousands of dollars, just rent a house for 1,000, and then add to Ning Ning's ~ EbookFREE.me ~ meal, water and electricity bills, what we can do is less than a thousand dollars, so it will not work. "
"And, you come to look at the account book. It was better at the beginning of this month. In the second half of the month, income began to decline. If it falls at this rate, it is estimated that it will be more than 2,000 points next month." Guo Yan felt a lot when he heard eight hundred dollars, but now he has begun to abandon two thousand dollars less.
"It's normal!" Shen Long didn't look up on the desk, and answered while writing something, "Last month, I made so much because New Yorkers rarely listen to" Liang Zhu "and" Jasmine ". In the coming month, the sense of freshness has passed, and they will naturally give less money. "
"What should I do? Let's change other songs?" Guo Yan was anxious. Why is it so hard to make money?
"What kind of tune?" Shen Long raised his head. "If Lashuman, Dvorak, Strauss or something, our technology is no better than Robert and they can't attract the audience. If you pull Chinese tunes, To be honest, our own tune is still weaker, and it is almost impossible to find out what can be compared with "Liang Zhu". "
"Isn't it just a change of job?" Guo Yan became even more alarmed when she heard this. It was only a month after this good day. Is it coming to an end?
