Chapter 600: Leave Now
The reason for the weather, coupled with the reasons of the rookie director's various operations, stopped filming, stopped filming, and stopped filming, which directly led to the filming cycle of one and a half months originally planned to be in Lushui, which was directly extended to two and a half months, and the first phase of filming was not completed until the end of December.
Then the crew had to transfer to Jianchuan, Dali to shoot the temple where Ah Ming became a monk, and the scene of the ancient house with a ginkgo tree where Ah Jiu lived after his reincarnation.
After the transition, because of the scene where Ah Jiu was reincarnated and reincarnated in this life, Mo Xiaoyu and her husband Qin Yan lived together, and He Xin rarely ushered in a week's filming gap.
Two months of shooting, for He Xin is not how tiring it is, the key stop filming is too grinding, often the mountain starts early in the morning, and the work ends at nightfall, and the time spent on the mountain is ten hours, but the real shooting time may not even be half. Most of the time is all kinds of ramps and adjustments.
And to be honest, he doesn't dare to compliment the teacher's directing ability, including on-site scheduling, organizational ability, etc. It's just that this seemingly weak Teacher Yu is still stubborn to death, and he can't listen to any opinions.
It wasn't until this time that He Xin kind of understood why she had such a good performance in "The Joy Luck Club". It turned out that everyone was deceived by her appearance, but in fact, she was the stubborn person in her bones.
He Xin regretted taking this drama several times. February 7 next year is the Spring Festival, at this time, there is at most a little time left in the early moon, and nearly half of the scenes have not been filmed, and it will definitely not be completed before the Chinese New Year as originally planned.
He Xin is ready to fight a protracted war, not only him, but his girlfriend's current filming of "Drunk Gold Fans" also needs New Year's Eve. He used this week to go back to the capital first, during this time the company has a lot of things that he needs to deal with urgently, and when he returns, he also plans to go to Chongqing to visit a class, after all, the physical and psychological needs are very urgent.
"Boss, this is the book of "Departure Now" recommended by China Film. ”
Since the third master was promoted from Mr. Han to Dong Han, China Film has started a series of big moves, one of which is to advocate a "young director plan". This plan is a bit similar to Andy Lau's "Asian Rising Star Director Program", which roughly becomes a fund, and then selects potential directors and funds them to make movies.
Since it was advocated by the third master, at the beginning of its establishment, Bona, Xinhao Media, and Zhang Guoli's National Changsheng were all actively involved in it. There are currently six directors and six books selected in the first batch, and "Departure Now" is one of them. But after Xiao Douding read these books, he took a fancy to this book. And she thought about it, thinking that the investment was not big anyway, if China Film didn't choose this book in the end, she wanted to take it herself.
Not to mention, don't look at Xiaodouding as a halfway monk, but as a literary and artistic young man who was once obsessed with literature and travel, she sometimes has a very accurate gaze, such as "Double-sided Tape" and "The Story of Two Donkeys" were all discovered by her at the beginning.
"Okay, let it go, I'll see later. ”
In addition to the book "Leave Now", Xiaodouding also brought over a large number of documents that needed to be signed by him. Although he trusts Xiaodouding very much, he still needs to read these documents carefully one by one, at least by heart.
It took him a morning to finish processing the papers, and after sitting for most of the day, tired of his muscles, he stood up and twisted his hips around the office while twisting his hips, and finally stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
At the end of December, it was the middle of winter in the capital, and the green space outside the window was already in a state of depression. After staying in the south for a long time, I have adapted to the comfortable climate of Lushui even if it is about 20 degrees during the day and 10 degrees at night in winter, so I am not used to it when I return to the capital.
The office uses a water dispenser, but he thinks that the hot water in the water dispenser can't make tea, so he puts an electric kettle, and the water is still pure water, which is a bit troublesome.
The tea brewed in the teacup today is the Wagu tea he brought back from Lushui. In the past, he liked to drink Longjing, and he usually drank Hu Jian's Tieguanyin when he changed his taste, but now he has a good mouthful.
And before leaving, he also specially found a cadre of a local propaganda department in charge of the crew's liaison and asked him to help him send him dozens of catties when the new tea came up every year.
That's right, it's so capricious. Not only drink it yourself, but also share it with close friends around you. He even thought that in a few years, he might be able to become a delivery expert and contribute to targeted poverty alleviation.
After finishing his business, he picked up the script and sat comfortably on the sofa, put his legs on the coffee table, and began to read the script of "Departure Now", which Xiao Douding was very optimistic about.
In fact, when he first heard Xiao Douding mention the name of the script on the phone, he felt a little familiar. This book is a screenwriter is a newcomer, and director Liu Jiang has heard of it for a long time, and graduated from the 88th grade of Nortel's performance department. One level lower than Yao Lu, who he is working with now, one level higher than Teacher Yu, just stuck in the middle, and Jiang Wenli is in the same class.
He Xin said that he has a little relationship with this Director Liu, and Wang Tong, who played a couple in Gu Changwei's "Peacock" with him, is Liu Jiang's wife.
Liu Jiang has directed several TV series before, and the only one with good results is the spy war drama "Snow Wolf" that aired not long ago.
The whole spy war drama tells the story of Liu Dongliang, a surgeon who returned from studying in Japan, who tried to rescue the anti-Japanese heroine Zhao Yiman, although he was unsuccessful, but he was moved to join the anti-Japanese organization, alias "Snow Wolf", and fought against Japanese devils and traitors.
This TV series is quite popular in the original time and space, and it is no wonder that when Jiang Wei was selecting actors in the original time and space, Yu Zecheng's first choice was Xin Baiqing, the actor of this "Snow Wolf". It was only because his wife Zhu Yuanyuan was pregnant at the time that he politely refused Jiang Wei's invitation, which made King Yan take advantage of it.
And now due to the early release of "Latent", Zhuyu is in front, and the response of "Snow Wolf" is average, which can only be regarded as a small fire.
This is Liu Jiang's first time directing a film, which meets the requirements of the Young Directors Program.
He Xin first looked at the synopsis of the story, which was about Lao Cui, a man living in Cyprus, who wanted to make a fortune and return to China to glorify his ancestors. Unexpectedly, before his wish was fulfilled, he was forced to return to China for divorce.
Lao Cui, who returned to China in a hurry, found that his wife not only had a big belly, but also was pregnant with the flesh and blood of his own child Lao Wei. Faced with his ex-wife's cynicism, Lao Cui only swallowed the frustration in his heart silently. He just wanted to get back to Cyprus as soon as possible, because the Chinese restaurant he had hoped for the rest of his life was about to be sold by his partners.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, and the unlucky old Cui ghost accidentally meets a disaster-like girl, Xiao Xia, and since then he has started his nightmarish days......
The more he watched it, the more familiar it became, until he saw Lao Cui and Xiao Xia chasing each other on the street, Lao Cui took off the clothes on his body one by one, and finally only left a hurdle vest This plot, he suddenly remembered that he had seen this movie in his previous life, and Lao Cui's actor in it was Fan Wei.
He is still very impressed by Fan Wei's films, because the character played by Fan Datou is definitely funny, and this guy is very good at interpreting the characters with a cute posture and a clever heart of a chicken thief.
Even if he doesn't look down, he can vaguely recall some of the storyline. From the beginning of a chance encounter, just a straightforward and good person and a little sister, completely two worlds of people, due to chance was connected together, the girl from the initial disdain for Lao Cui and even used him, to gradually develop a good impression, began to feel that Lao Cui was good, until the end of the reluctance to Lao Cui.
This is a comedy, revolving around Lao Cui and Xiao Xia A series of stories, although it is not a multi-line narrative, but the storyline is a bit like "Stone", very close to life, and at the same time looming to expose the dark side of society.
The storyline doesn't feel abrupt at all. There is no earth-shattering, no tear-jerking, the story of the girl and Lao Cui is really like a story that happened to herself, faint and pure.
However, as for who played that Xiao Xia, he had no impression at all, but vaguely felt that this actress played an exaggerated role, which was very incompatible with Fan Wei.
Although he watched this film on TV in his previous life, when he read the script in one go, he really felt that it would be a pity if such a book was only made into a TV movie.
Because the Young Directors Program is limited to the cost requirements, it can only be made into TV movies temporarily.
Although there are many low-budget comedies these days, most of them are shoddy. But the plot of this book is relatively compact.,There's still a little warmth in the absurd.。
If "Stone" is unbridled and funny, then this book of "Immediate Departure" is more like a love story with humorous elements.
And the screenwriter's overall idea is purely out of the logic of a romance film. It's the floating world of the same person who has fallen to the end of the world.,And then pity each other.,And finally accompany.,It's really a very good book.。
He couldn't sit still, so he quickly dialed a phone call and told Xiaodouding: "You make arrangements, I want to talk to this Director Liu as soon as possible." ”
