"What? You said to let Xiao Cheng play this Li Baoli?" Wang Xiaoshuai looked stunned.

In his cognition, the impression of his little brother's girlfriend is glamorous and sexy. Of course, this is all thanks to the once popular "Pink Girl".

He has also seen the process many times in life, and he has a good impression of the girl, such as generous, decent, affinity, etc., and he has praised He Xin more than once in private for his good vision and can find such a girl. But it doesn't seem to be the same thing at all from the Li Baoli described in the script.

He really liked the story, otherwise he wouldn't have flown over from Shanghai early the morning after reading the first draft of the script.

"Uh, brother, I think you have a misunderstanding of Cheng Hao. Her acting skills, you can absolutely rest assured, I can guarantee you a ticket, no problem at all. Especially in terms of personality, she has a lot in common with Li Baoli. As for the image, it is even less of a problem, it may be a bit difficult to make an ugly woman look good, but there is no problem at all in making a good-looking woman look ugly......"

He had long estimated that Wang Xiaoshuai might have doubts about Cheng Hao's candidate, but this movie said that he was tailor-made for his girlfriend, so he had already prepared this set of rhetoric.

even said in the end: "Brother, I'm not saying bad things about Sister Yuanyuan, I think Cheng Hao's acting skills are much better than Sister Yuanyuan." ”

Yes, a twenty-five-year-old beautiful woman like Gao Yuanyuan could play nineteen-year-old Qinghong, why can't Cheng Hao play Li Baoli, who is from her twenties to her forties?

“......”

Wang Xiaoshuai can ignore acting skills, because in the eyes of their gang of literary film directors, movies are the art of directors, and actors are often just a prop many times.

He also ignored his personality because of this, and was not surprised that He Xin said that Cheng Hao and Li Baoli's personalities have something in common, and Shanghai men generally respect their wives very much.

The only thing that can't be ignored is the image, as if he needs a broken bowl prop for begging, but you hand him a beautiful bowl of Qianlong Doucai, how do you let him get it?

Of course, He Xin's words are not unreasonable, a broken bowl begging cannot be pretended to be a beautiful bowl of Qianlong Doucai, but a bowl of exquisite Qianlong Doucai can be used as a broken bowl of begging when it rolls in muddy water.

"Brother, let me be honest with you, I just looked for Cheng Hao for this play. She has always hoped to develop in movies, but she has never been able to find a suitable book, and it took a lot of effort to find the current story. And when she heard that I was looking for you to direct, she was almost happy. So, brother, don't worry, she will definitely not hold back when it comes to acting. ”

Wang Xiaoshuai blinked the little eyes behind the black-framed glasses, his little brother had already said this, what else could he say, not to mention that people were still investors.

He could only nod his head, stop talking about the topic, take out the first draft of the script, and start talking about what he thought was problematic in the script.

"I think the character of Ma Xuewu is still a little thin in the script, since Li Baoli's various misfortunes after him are caused by him, then the contradictions and conflicts between them need to be developed, rather than passing them ......"

He Xin patiently listened to the one, two, three, four that he felt was problematic, and hurriedly said: "These are no problem, I'll help you make an appointment with the screenwriter when I go back, but the original author who participated in the adaptation is in Wuhan, you can discuss it yourself." ”

For screenwriters and directors, He Xin generally does not participate in and interfere, and he never thinks that his level in these professional fields will be higher than others.

Wang Xiaoshuai was very simple when he heard it, and understood that it was useless to talk nonsense with him at this time, so he stuffed the script back into his bag and said: "Forget it, don't make an appointment, you just give me the phone number, and I'll contact it myself." ”

"Okay, I'll text you with their numbers. ”

If someone else really has to introduce it, the name Wang Xiaoshuai is also well-known in the industry, so there is no need to introduce it.

After a while, he heard Wang Xiaoshuai's mobile phone "beep" twice, he picked it up and looked at it, then stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave." ”

He Xin hurriedly said: "Brother, don't mind, it's rare for us to see each other again, I'll make an appointment with Brother Niu and Lao Duan in a while, let's have a drink." ”

Niu Le is now out of school, and has directed several small-budget movies alone in recent years, but the response is very average, and he didn't even have a chance to release it, and finally had to sell it to the movie channel.

And Lao Duan, although after the broadcast of "Soldier Assault", it was also a small fire. He signed a contract with Huayi Brothers last year, and he is ambitious to compete for the role of Gu Zidi in "Assembly".

As a result, the pants director didn't look down on him at all, and left the role of Gu Zidi to his unknown little brother Zhang Hanyu. In the end, I didn't even catch the other supporting roles in the film, and I've been depressed lately.

Niu Le was brought up by Wang Xiaoshuai, and Lao Duan's first personal film was also fulfilled by Wang Xiaoshuai, and he also won the first actor title in his life - Best Actor at the New Delhi International Film Festival in India.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoshuai can also be regarded as the teacher of these two unlucky eggs. He Xin thought about it early in the morning, and Director Xiaoshuai came over and made an appointment to get together.

Wang Xiaoshuai groaned slightly, but waved his hand apologetically: "Forget it, you help me bring a good one to them." I'll have to rush back in a moment. "God of Dancing eBook

"Hurry back, where are you going back, Shanghai?" He Xin said stunned.

Wang Xiaoshuai patted the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "You have sent me a task, I have to go back quickly and finish the finishing work of "Left and Right" first." ”

He Xin couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard this: "If I knew this, it would be better for me to go to Shanghai." I'm going to have you running back and forth, that's embarrassing!"

"Don't talk about these nice things, when the time comes, it's better to give money than anything else. ”

"That's no problem, when the time comes, even if you speak, I promise that there won't be a word. He Xin said busily.

This is Wang Xiaoshuai, if he changes Lou Ye, he will never dare to say this. Lou Ye's guy is used to profligate, and it is often rumored that Jiang Wen used how much film he used when filming "Sunny Day" and "The Devil is Coming", and the cost ratio is even more so-called unheard of.

In fact, they have no knowledge of this statement, if compared with Lou Ye, Jiang Wen can only be regarded as a small thing, and when filming "Purple Butterfly", He Xin really saw what it means to "use film without limit".

The investment in "Purple Butterfly" has always been a mystery, He Xin probably has a point, Shanghai Film Studio has invested more than 10 million, and French film companies have invested more than 30 million, with a total investment of nearly 50 million, a large part of which is consumed on film.

However, Lou Ye has this confidence, and only the overseas box office can not only recover the investment, but also make French investors make money. is the only one who cheated the Shanghai Film Studio, and people still expect the domestic box office to recover its investment, but the box office is only 3 million, and even the publicity expenses are not enough.

In contrast, Wang Xiaoshuai really ate dried radish rice, and the investment in the movies he shot rarely exceeded five million. Very good at budgeting, thrifty housekeeping. Moreover, for works with realistic themes such as "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", no matter how big the investment is, it will not be too big.

Unless Wang Xiaoshuai flies like Lou Ye, but this is almost impossible, the two of them are not the same style of people, otherwise a pair of classmates who used to be very good will not be unable to pee in a pot now.

And after the movie was handed over to Wang Xiaoshuai, he was already an old team that was used to working together, so he didn't have to worry about accumulating a group at all. It is very much in line with He Xin's consistent style of throwing off the shopkeeper.

Wang Xiaoshuai flew over from Shanghai early this morning, and the two of them sat in a teahouse on the side of 798 Road for a while, and now they didn't even eat lunch, so they were about to fly back in a hurry. ”

"No, you're busy, don't worry about me, I'll stop a taxi to save time and effort. ”

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoshuai waved to stop an empty car passing by, turned back to He Xin and smiled: "Go back, when I'm done there, I'll notify you as soon as possible." ”

Seeing the taxi carrying Wang Xiaoshuai leave, He Xin turned around and returned to the teahouse to settle the bill, and when he was about to return to the company, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

The phone didn't ring a few times before a familiar voice came from the other side.

"He Da Yingdi, what are your instructions?"

This familiar voice sounds a little lazy today, like a Persian cat lying on a white goose down quilt that has just woken up, yawning with its mouth wide open, stretching comfortably, and then "meowing" at you, making He Xin's heart flutter.

His reaction was half a beat slower, and he couldn't hear a response on the other end of the phone, and then another sentence came: "Hey, talk!"

"Oh, Sister Qinqin!"

He quickly gathered his mind and said busily: "Are you free at noon today, I want to invite you to dinner." ”

"Eat, why do you do this every time, it's almost time to eat, and then you think of inviting someone to dinner, and you don't have any sincerity at all. Jiang Qinqin on the other end of the phone said in a coquettish tone.

"Uh, is it convenient? There's something else I'd like you to help with. ”

"Oh, that's it, okay, you have a place, I'll set off. Hearing that there was something serious, Jiang Qinqin immediately said neatly.

He Xin thought for a while and said, "Then the Japanese restaurant over there in the Women's Street, the one that Commander Ma invited us to go to last time, it was quite quiet at noon." ”

Mainly in the 798 film, there are often paparazzi with cameras hanging recently, just now when he and Wang Xiaoshuai were chatting, you can see through the glass window that someone is sneaking the camera at them to take pictures.

Jiang Qinqin on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, after all, the last time Commander Ma invited him to dinner was during the publicity period of "Qiao's Courtyard", and it had been a long time.

After a while, he said: "I know, I estimate that it will be there in half an hour." ”
