Chapter 649: The Piano of Steel

The preparations for "The Wind" are progressing in an orderly manner, Lao Gao has also played the role of producer in addition to the director, and Lu Xiao, the manager of the company's production department, assists.

Because of Xu Ke's participation, the behind-the-scenes team has added a lot of elite soldiers, such as photographer Jiang Guoming and art designer Huang Guoneng are all Xu Ke's old partners, and the modeling designer Ye Jintian is a big name in the industry.

At present, most of the actors, including He Xin's Takeda, Cheng Hao's Gu Xiaomeng, Li Bingbing's Li Ningyu, Hu Jun's Wu Zhiguo, and other major roles, Xu Ke has nodded in approval. It's just that there are still some twists and turns in the selection of Wang Tianxiang, Wang Zhiwen is filming "Wheat Field" directed by He Ping at this time, starring as the anti-No. 1 in the film, and there is no reply for the time being.

Other roles still need to be auditioned, and Xu Ke has to look at them one by one before they can be finalized.

He Xin has been focusing on the role of Yang Liren for a while now, basically at home and on the set every day, sometimes because of night scenes or something, it is common for him to not be able to go back home for two or three days.

Occasionally, I will receive a complaint call from Xiaodouding, it is nothing more than that the money is spent too fast, Dalian is building the exterior of Qiuzhuang, especially the interior part of Qiuzhuang, in order to reflect the luxury of Qiuzhuang in the past, all props and decoration need to be kept improving, this movie has not yet started, and the preparatory work has been spent less than 20 million yuan in the early stage.

He Xin also has a headache for this, the project "The Wind" has doubled directly from the 30 million he envisioned at the beginning, and now it seems that even 60 million may have a gap, and it is really necessary to make it a big production in the real sense.

But there is no way, it is difficult to ride a tiger. Fortunately, he has enough confidence in his heart, and he still has a sum of money drawn from the stock market, which is enough to cope.

The only vignette may be that Sister Hong has a lot of complaints, because in this movie invested by Xinhao Media, almost all of the main actors except He Xin himself are from Wang Jinghua's side. Cheng Hao didn't care, but the role of Li Ningyu was returned to Li Bingbing, she felt that Li Xiaoran was quite suitable, including Wang Ruodan, who she has always been very optimistic about, and she always wanted to stuff into the crew, which made He Xin quite difficult.

Without him, Li Xiaoran will definitely have no drama, as for Wang Ruodan, except for the two heroines in the film, that is, the female assassin's role is slightly focused, the others are all roles, and it is not easy to arrange.

"Stop! Xiaohe, you get closer to Yang Yan, your hand should hold her waist and make up a close-up. ”

"Uh, director, isn't it good to shoot like this, I'm afraid Brother Hai will beat me!"

"Haha!"

The filming went smoothly, and it was rare to make a joke to spice up the atmosphere, and everyone was happy.

I have to say that the pair of Zhao Hi and Yang Yan is really a bit of a beauty and a beast in terms of appearance, but their relationship is indeed really good.

Yang Jiaojiao glanced at him with disgust.

It is said that this girl was very restrained when she saw He Xin at first, after all, when she was filming "The Legend of Jiang Yuyan", the beating incident happened in front of her eyes, and then He Xin openly fought in the media. So her consistent impression of He Xin is that this actor is not easy to mess with.

But as everyone's cooperation deepened, she found that Mr. He was actually very approachable, not as shelf-like as the male number one next door. So when I got acquainted and bold, I dared to stare at Teacher He.

Zhao Hi pointed at him with a smile on his face, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence: "You guy, you don't have a straight shape!"

Don't look at others who look a little vicious, in fact, he is a very elegant and cultural person.

"Okay, okay, rest for ten minutes, and we'll take another one later. Uncle Li smiled and shouted very understandingly.

Shen Ming on the side hurriedly ran over and handed over the thermos cup, wolfberry and jujube, which quenched thirst and had the effect of replenishing qi and benefiting the liver and kidneys. During this time, he was under a lot of pressure, and his girlfriend specially instructed Shen Ming.

"Brother, Zhixi called just now. Shen Ming handed over the phone again.

"Is there something wrong?"

She didn't say anything, and she seemed to be happy to call you back when it was convenient for you. ”

"Oh, I'm glad I did. ”

He Xin dialed the phone, and at the same time, he was still wondering in his heart, what good things had happened to this rich second generation. Could it be that Wang Kai's audition was favored by Xu Ke?

He thought about it, this kind of thing should be unlikely, not to mention that Su Youpeng was recommended by Chen Guofu, as far as Wang Kai's performance last time was too bad, it was simply a performance that was taken for granted, even if he guided it, to be honest, he didn't have much hope.

During this time, Xu Ke has finished the post-production of "Women Are Not Bad" and has focused on the preparation of "The Wind".

Two days ago, he also received a call from Xu Ke in person, asking about some of the recommended candidates, and asked him if he would like to come over in person when the audition came.

At that time, he politely refused on the excuse that he had no time to film. On the one hand, this is a gesture of respecting Xu Ke, on the other hand, it is mainly because he has been in the circle for a long time, with the continuous expansion of the circle of friends, there are many people who ask for help from all aspects, all of whom recommend actors, and even some dragon roles are not let go.

After all, "The Wind" is a blockbuster directed by Xu Ke and starring He Xin, Li Bingbing, Cheng Hao, Hu Jun and other big names.

He was very embarrassed, so he simply pushed all his brains on Xu Laowei's head, saying that the actor has a director, and Xinhao Media, as an investor, does not interfere with the director's work, and he does not show up in the company.

Because he had just received a call from Xu Laowei two days ago, He Xin originally thought that the casting should not be so fast. But as soon as I dialed Chen Zhixi's phone, I heard the girl say excitedly on the phone: "Brother, it's done, Akai has been favored by Director Xu Ke, and the role of Bai Xiaonian has been decided." ”

"What, you said that Wang Kai was favored by Director Xu?" He Xin was surprised.

"That's right, brother, I have to thank you for speaking of which, the Xu Dao you helped guide before said that it was very good. Hehe, brother, I also told you, Su Youpeng made the same mistake as Akai before in this audition, and Director Xu was very satisfied with Akai's image, saying that Bai Xiaonian should be like Akai, which is more contrasting......"

He Xin was really surprised, it seems that Xu Lao Wei is really a little out of common sense, but in this way, he is more assured, at least in terms of casting, Xu Ke will not show favoritism and choose the actor he thinks is the most suitable.

"Well, it's a good thing that Wang Kai was chosen. But you have to tell Wang Kai well, don't take it lightly, and take advantage of this time to prepare well. ”

"Well, brother, you can rest assured. Akai himself said that he would definitely cherish this opportunity. ”

Although he did not witness Wang Kai's performance during the audition, from Xiao Douding's description, it is not difficult to hear that Wang Kai listened to his original opinions and made full preparations in a short period of time, which is commendable.

Thinking about the fact that he was able to stand out in later generations, it seems that it is not unreasonable now.

After making the call, I went into the shed, and it was almost time to rest.

"Xiaohe, is it okay?"

"That's it. ”

He Xin moved his body, glanced at the scene, and suddenly said, "Hey, where is Brother Hai?"

As soon as he said this, the staff around him couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Yan couldn't help but feel hot on his face, slapped him in annoyance, and said angrily: "Besides, he has hid out, what do you want?"

"Yo, I didn't expect Brother Hai's skin to be quite thin!"

"Okay, okay, Xiaohe, don't make trouble, filming is about to start. ”

Uncle Li pretended to be stern, and then asked Yang Zhang, "Yang Zhang, is there a problem?"

Yang Jian glared at He Xin, took a deep breath, calmed down, and instantly restored Lin E's usual poker face in the play, and then said to Uncle Li: "Director, I'm ready." ”

"Okay, everyone, get ready!"

β€œAction!”

......

In the end, he has created an acting star who can be blackened with one eye, Yang Yan's expression switches very freely, and this scene was filmed smoothly from beginning to end. Later, there was a scene of Lin E's imaginary pursuit of Yang Liren.

This is where Uncle Li's skill lies, he shows the psychological activities of the characters in some important scenes in the form of stage plays, which is not only very novel, but also full of compelling.

The filming went smoothly, and the work was called off early, and on the way home, he specially went to the vegetable market and took a pound of mandarin fish, and the rest was all vegetables.

The two of them haven't eaten meat for a long time now, Cheng Hao even quit rice, and occasionally opened meat, that is, they ate some fish and chicken, and the chicken skin couldn't be eaten.

Actors, there are gains and losses, not for the sake of good looks, the most important thing is the needs of the role. Haha Literature Network

"I'm still working hard!"

As soon as I got home, I saw my girlfriend reading the script.

"No, Xiaoqing brought a new script in the afternoon. ”

"Movies?"

"Well, it's a literary film, but I look like a comedy, and it's not very interesting. ”

Cheng Hao Yi threw the script in his hand on the coffee table, and then stared at the bag he was holding and asked, "What did you buy today?"

Losing weight is really painful for a foodie.

"Bought a mandarin fish. He Xin said with a smile.

Now opening meat is like the New Year for the two of them.

Cheng Hao's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Let's make squirrel mandarin fish......"

But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but regret it: "Forget it, let's steam it according to the old rules, the calories of squirrel mandarin fish fried are too high." ”

He Xin was also a little greedy by what she said, thinking about the sweet and sour taste of the squirrel mandarin fish, the crispy fish meat, and the saliva was about to flow out.

"Let's make squirrel mandarin fish, it's a rare meal, at most you can go out for a run with me tomorrow morning, and this little calorie will definitely be burned." ”

"Oops......"

Now Cheng Hao can't stand the temptation of food the most, pouting, with a look of "You tempt me, it's really annoying", but his mouth is very honest: "Okay!"

came, and added: "Put more tomato sauce!"

......

"Cool!"

A fish, most of which went into Cheng Hao's stomach, He Xin ate the head and tail.

"No, I can't sit like this. Hey, you clean up, I'll take the skewers down and eat by the way. ”

The mouth addiction is over, but she is still far from the weight loss target of 45 kilograms. Since you don't control your mouth today, you must open your legs.

This guy is now almost fine, and as soon as he hears it, he doesn't need to say hello, he just shakes his head and guards the door with a dog leash.

He Xin cleaned up the mess and made himself a cup of wolfberry red dates, according to his girlfriend, he had to simmer in a thermos cup for half an hour before drinking the best effect.

He then picked up his girlfriend's new script and glanced at it: "Piano of Steel"!

The name seems quite familiar, and there is also the author's signature below: Zhang Meng.

He is quite familiar with this name, the director of the movie "Big Ears are Blessed", starring Fan Wei, who was shortlisted for the screening unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival, and won the Special Jury Award of the Asian Newcomer Award at the recently concluded Shanghai Film Festival.

Although He Xin hasn't seen this movie "Big Ears Are Blessed", he has heard Fan Wei mention this director Zhang Meng before, and it is said that he has a lot of ideas, and he seems to have graduated from Chinese opera, majoring in stage art.

He first looked at the synopsis of the story, which tells the story of a laid-off worker named Chen Guilin who worked hard for his daughter's musical dream in the early nineties of the last century, and finally built a piano for his daughter with steel with the help of his friends.

Looking at the synopsis of the story, as my girlfriend said before, this is the script of a literary film. But when he read down, he found that the lines in it were really funny.

Like what:

Scene 1: Chen Guilin and Xiaoju talk about divorce

Chen Guilin: Divorce is divorce, don't talk about those useless.

Xiaoju: Chen Guilin, let me tell you, the child will not be happy with you.

Chen Guilin: You don't scare me with happiness.

......

Scene 4: Chen Guilin drinks with his buddy Wang Kangmei

Wang Kangmei: If you leave, our brothers will be the same.

Chen Guilin: We are different, I am divorced, and you are widowed.

......

Scene 5: Chen Guilin made a "piano" for his daughter Xiaoyuan out of wood

Xiao Yuan: Dad, can this be played?

Chen Guilin: When (the paint) is dry, you can play it.

Xiao Yuan: I can't make a sound even if I do it.

Chen Guilin: Dad told you the story of Uncle Beethoven, Uncle Pei couldn't hear it behind his ears, so he didn't play it well.

......

Scene 9: Shuxian "hooked up" with Chen Guilin to go home with her

Shuxian: I heard that he (Wang Gong) never married for a Russian girl in his life. Every time I see him, I always feel that he has a sour feeling, and it looks very sad.

Chen Guilin: It's sour enough, I heard it and my teeth fell out.

Shuxian: The love that can be broken is loyal.

Chen Guilin: Well, then you can go on with your teeth, I'll go.

Shuxian: Don't go, the children are going to his grandmother's house.

Chen Guilin: Isn't this an extraordinary time?

Shuxian: What's the extraordinary period, it's not convenient for you to get on?!

......

But the more he looked down, the more he couldn't laugh anymore.

This script is quite general to be honest, with a linear narrative, a gentle plot, and no violent conflicts, at most, a couple divorced and fought for custody of their children. The only thing that catches the eye is probably the playful element in the lines. It's no wonder that girlfriends aren't interested.

But the laid-off workers and dilapidated steel mills described in the script are too familiar to He Xin. The original owner of his current body has experienced this wave of layoffs in the throes of state-owned enterprises when he was growing up.

This book is somewhat similar to the script of Ning Hao's "Stone" back then, and it is all composed of a black humorous story through lines. Of course, this book is not a multi-line narrative, but it uses a kind of black humor to tell a Chinese story that is not humorous.

As far as the core of the story is concerned, it is much deeper than "Crazy Stone"!
