Chapter 626: Good Things Are Grinding
"Hey, you've been holding the script for so long, why haven't you heard back?"
As soon as they met, Uncle Gao Qun asked with a split head.
"I don't think there's anything to modify, it's good, you can shoot it directly. He Xin said with a smile.
"This is just the first draft, and you're still making a big investment, when did you become so hasty?" Uncle Gao Qun said with wide eyes.
"It's not sloppy, I really think it's good. ”
He Xin poured a cup of tea for Lao Gao, and then said: "Even if you encounter a problem, you can adjust it at any time when shooting!"
"Then if you want to say that, I don't care. ”
"By the way, what did Director Chen say?"
"Tsk!"
Lao Gao smashed his mouth, shook his head and said: "He himself is really interested in this book, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to help at the beginning." But I've told him twice about your advice, but he's still in a bit of a bummer...... No, Ah Xin, I don't understand, since you want to use Huayi's people, what's the point of letting Huayi participate?"
"Uh...... Didn't I tell you last time, I'm very optimistic about this drama, why bother with more people in the future. ”
"I don't know why you have so much confidence, but no matter how good the story is, after all, it needs to be made by the director and actors. Let me first state that it's okay for you to let me be a director, but I definitely don't dare to give you this guarantee. ”
Lao Gao really doesn't understand He Xin's honey self-confidence, there are many good stories these years, but it's not easy to make a good movie. For example, if you ask a national teacher to shoot the same script or find any director to shoot it, the presentation may be two completely different movies.
Seeing Lao Gao's appearance of driving a donkey to the shelves, He Xin wondered, in his memory, Lao Gao was obviously the director of the original "The Wind", how could he be so unconfident?
In fact, what he didn't know was that Chen Guofu invited Lao Gao to direct the original "The Wind" after almost completing all the preliminary work, including casting, and during the filming process, Lao Gao was only responsible for the details, and the overall color and style were controlled by Chen Guofu.
To put it mildly, the chief director of "The Wind" is actually Chen Guofu, and Lao Gao only plays the role of an executive director.
Seeing that He Xin was silent, Lao Gao felt a little reluctant in his heart, after all, his little brother trusted him so much, and handed over such a big investment project to himself, to put it bluntly, he also wanted to promote himself.
"What's that, Ah Xin, let's do this, it's not that I want to deliberately shirk it. I really don't have a score in my own heart, and if I mess up this project, then I'm sorry for my friend. I'll tell you the truth, you handed over this project to me, it turns out that it would be best if Lao Chen helped. But don't have any hope now, he's not like me, after all, he is the director of Huayi Brothers, with an annual salary of several million a year, there is no need to be unhappy with the company for a favorite film. ”
As he spoke, he muttered again: "Otherwise, you have to help me find a reliable producer to check for me." ”
Seeing Lao Gao's sincere tone and a look of heart-to-heart, He Xin could only nod depressedly and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try." ”
"Oh yes, since you plan to start filming before the end of the year, is there anyone in the actor side? I heard that you have already found Li Bingbing?"
"Well, I said hello to her, and I plan to let her play Li Ningyu. ”
Hearing He Xin's affirmative answer, Lao Gao was a little disappointed in his heart, originally he felt that his girlfriend Liu Weiwei was also quite suitable for this role, but it was still not enough compared to Li Bingbing. However, he also understands that after all, it is a big production, and a TV café like Liu Weiwei can't afford the role of the female number one at all.
"What about Gu Xiaomeng?"
"I want Cheng Hao to act, what do you think?"
"Cheng Hao, ......"
Lao Gao obviously looked reluctant, and hesitated: "Actually, I think Zhou Xun is quite suitable." ”
Hey?
To be honest, in He Xin's mind, of course, he also thinks that Zhou Xun is the ideal candidate, after all, the scene of grinding the rope is too impressive in his memory.
But then again, my girlfriend yearns for the big screen, and there is no reason for the movies I invest in to be cheaper than others. Among the two roles of Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng, he felt that his girlfriend was more suitable to play Gu Xiaomeng.
"Well, I don't accept the investment of Huayi Brothers, and then I have to use Huayi's two top brands, which is a bit inappropriate. He Xin could only say vaguely.
When Lao Gao heard this, he immediately realized: "What I said is, I really didn't take this into account, isn't this a slap in the face of the Huang family brothers!"
After speaking, he shook his head with a wry smile, on the one hand, he regretted that Zhou Xun could not play Gu Xiaomeng, but more importantly, he never understood why He Xin was full of confidence and rejected the Huayi brothers so much. Moxue Literature Network
"I want to play Takeda, but as for the other roles, let's take a while...... Oh, Brother Gao, if Sister Weiwei doesn't dislike it, the female assassin character in it asks her to help. ”
As soon as his words fell, Lao Gao hurriedly said: "Of course I won't dislike it, I have to thank you for her." ”
Although Lao Gao and Liu Weiwei seem to have been unhappy in the past two years, and it has always been a mystery that the two have not gotten married. However, Lao Gao is definitely true love for Liu Weiwei.
As a director, he always wants to praise his daughter-in-law, probably except for Section Chief Jia, who belongs to his Uncle Gao Qun.
"You really want to play the Japanese, I thought you wanted to play Wu Zhiguo. Lao Gao said again.
"The Wind" is actually a big heroine drama with two heroines, and in a strict sense, the male number one should be Wu Zhiguo, after all, he represents the righteous side, and Takeda can only be the second male lead.
"I wanted to play Wu Zhiguo, but I didn't think I was suitable. ”
Lao Gao thinks about it, Wu Zhiguo's character is set to be in his early forties, a strong character. He Xin does have a bit of a gap in age and temperament.
"Who do you think is suitable for the role of Wu Zhiguo?"
Wu Zhiguo, played by Zhang Hanyu in the original version, should be said to be very outstanding, especially with the blessing of Gu Zidi in "Assembly Number", which has created a good image of a tough guy.
Uncle Gao Qun almost blurted out that he wanted to say Zhang Hanyu's name, but after thinking about it, Zhang Hanyu was also an actor of Huayi Brothers, so he had to shake his head and say: "I don't have a score in my heart now." ”
A lot of things are easier said than done. He Xin was very depressed, he originally thought very well, got the copyright of "The Wind", and then asked Lao Gao, the director of the original version of the memory, to write and direct, and everything went smoothly. But I didn't expect to encounter such stumbling in actual operation.
Chen Guofu has no hope anymore, as Lao Gao said, he is comfortable with Huayi Brothers' annual salary of several million a year, how can he be unhappy with the company for a movie?
Even if he likes this movie very much. If he were to change himself, He Xin believed that he would also make a rational choice.
Hey, could it be that without him, Chen Guofu, the butcher Zhang, he could still eat hairy pigs? He Xin was still unconvinced, but when he went back, he wrenched his fingers, but found that most of the directors he was familiar with were literary and artistic coffees, and there were almost no commercial blockbusters that could really support them.
......
Seeing his girlfriend carrying two large suitcases and appearing at the door of the house with a haggard face, He Xin was startled.
"Didn't you say it would take two days to come back?"
"You don't call in advance, so I'll pick you up?"
"Why are you alone, Chu Qing and Xiaohong?"
"Why is your face so bad, tired or uncomfortable?"
He took the suitcase while a series of whys.
"Oh, are you bothered? The shooting went smoothly and was completed ahead of schedule...... Originally, I wanted to call you, but I didn't pay attention to the finale banquet yesterday and drank too much, so I forgot about it...... The company came to pick me up, Xiaoqing and Xiaohong, and I gave them a vacation. Cheng Hao said.
"Then you hurry up and wash your hands, it's time to eat. ”
"I can't eat, I don't even want to move now, I just want to sleep. Cheng Hao went to the bedroom with no energy.
"Hey, then you take a shower and go to sleep, sleep more comfortably. He Xin hurriedly followed.
As a result, the guy waved his hand, dragged straight into the bedroom, threw himself on the bed, and after a while heard a slight snoring sound.
Seeing this, He Xin could only shake his head, walked out of the bedroom, and gently closed the door.
Cheng Hao was too tired.
Probably since she went to Wuhan to experience life in May last year, she began to devote herself to the shaping of the role. Then from mid-August to the end of October, I grinded over and over again, and I grinded Li Baoli out hard.
followed by "Drunk Gold Fans", although the core of Tian Peizhi's character has a lot in common with Li Baoli, so that she doesn't even need to adjust, and seamlessly connects into the role of Tian Peizhi.
But she can't stand her many scenes, in four and a half months, she alone has more than 400 scenes, this is the most intense drama she has ever worked in the arts, it's too hard, it's too hard. So much so that when she had a casual meal last night, she was rarely out of control and cried with everyone.
used to rely on a hard breath, but now that the filming is over, this breath is released, and the spirit of the whole person seems to be withdrawn together, her heart suddenly feels empty, and endless fatigue is surging like a tide, occupying her entire body and mind.
