Chapter 121: The Island Country's Film Plan

Wei Baichen really didn't mind the remuneration, and said with a smile: "In this kind of film, the male lead actor is paid less, which is understandable, cough, I completely understand." ”

As he spoke, his face blushed and his heart was beating, and he hurriedly drank saliva to cover it up and suppress the flame that burst out of his heart.

"Oh? That's good. ”

Zhang Ruoqing felt a little more at ease, and then said, "Actually, the male protagonist we finalized at the beginning was Peng Yuchang. ”

"Ahh

Zhang Ruoqing spread his hands: "We haven't talked to him yet, who knows, the actress won't agree first." ”

Hahaha, Peng Peng was actually disgusted by the female lead?!hahahaha......

Wei Baichen was secretly happy in his heart, but he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "You say this, aren't you afraid that I will be angry?" After all, your first choice is not me. ”

Zhang Ruoqing smiled: "Wrong, my first choice is you, but the investor hopes to choose Peng Yuchang." So, it's not good over there, I'm pretty happy, didn't I come to you right away?"

Wei Baichen was a little confused, this guy has been talking for a long time, but he hasn't said who the heroine is, and why did he refuse Peng Yuchang to play?

Without waiting for him to ask, Zhang Ruoqing took out a thin A4 paper script from his leather bag and spread it on the table.

"Dabai, this is the script, it's very thin, only a few pages. As you know, in this kind of play, the script is secondary, mainly driven by the acting skills of the male and female protagonists, especially to create a unique atmosphere that stimulates hormones. ”

There is actually a script?!!

It's kind of interesting.

Wei Baichen nodded, couldn't wait to pick up the script, opened the first page, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"The Dancing Girl of Izu" !!

That's the name of the script.

Wei Baichen was amused and angry, even a little disappointed, and carefully flipped through a few pages, his expression gradually became solemn.

"Director Zhang, this script is not easy to shoot, right?"

"The Dancing Girl of Izu" is Yasunari Kawabata's famous masterpiece, which is deeply loved in the island country and has been remade 6 times before and after, especially the version of Yamaguchi Momoe, which is regarded as a classic by many fans.

It is very difficult to choose such a work and remake it.

Zhang Ruoqing seemed to have expected him to say this, got up and said, "It's not too difficult, I won't look for you." ”

Wei Baichen opened his mouth to speak, but Zhang Ruoqing preemptively said: "Don't worry, you can think about it again, call me if you have decided." ”

After speaking, the director Zhang Da pulled his legs and left, not giving Wei Baichen the slightest chance to excuse himself.

"Hey, wait, who is the heroine?" Wei Baichen chased out half a step.

"I'll know when the time comes!" Zhang Ruoqing waved his hand without replying.

Wei Baichen went back to the sofa and sat down, picked up the script and prepared to read it carefully, hesitated, but put it down.

To be honest, the article "The Dancing Girl of Izu", which he read in an extracurricular book when he was in high school, is a very short story, and it is a story about the secret love of a boy and a girl.

He remembered that after reading it at that time, there was always an inexplicable feeling, half lost, half beautiful.

Anyway, since then, seeing Luoying colorful, he has a lot of sadness, which is very strange. He didn't read it again at the moment because he didn't have a state of mind.

"Dabai, are we really going to the island country? I heard that the hot spring water over there is very healthy, and you can also boil eggs. ”

Tian Songyun flipped through the script with great fascination and began to "talk nonsense".

"And...... It's still a mixed bath, isn't it? Wow, what a shame. ”

Tian Songyun held her face and began to be shy.

Wei Baichen gave her a big roll of his eyes, picked up the script and slapped her on the head.

"It's a beautiful idea! I haven't said yes yet, I'll have to think about it. ”

Dabai really has to think about it, on the one hand, because of the schedule, he is recording a program, and he is worried that there will be a conflict in the schedule; on the other hand, the box office of literary films has been dismal in recent years, and it is difficult for him to make literary films and enter the film and television industry.

What's more important is that Zhang Ruoqing doesn't seem to reveal the truth, and always feels that there is something to hide from him.

Wei Baichen couldn't think clearly, and was about to call Chen Hui for advice, but there was a busy sound of "toot" over there, so he had to give up.

At night, Wei Baichen returned by high-speed rail, not bringing his newly recruited assistant Tian Songyun, but asking her to go back to clean up, and then cooperate with the company to go through the entry procedures and other miscellaneous matters.

In the early hours of the morning, Wei Baichen returned to the mushroom house in a daze, and was greeted by a brightly lit field, black smoke from the chimney, and bursts of fragrant aroma coming from the stove room.

Wei Baichen was curious, and a tall and sturdy figure flashed out of the room, happily greeting him.

"Dabai, go quickly! Mr. Huang is frying scallion pancakes!"

The fat tiger held a cake in one hand, and after speaking, he took a big bite and gnawed out a big crescent.

When Wei Baichen heard this, he hurriedly ran in to prepare to eat and drink, and as soon as he opened the door, he found that the room was crowded with people, and they were lining up to receive scallion pancakes one by one.

He looked around with his feet, and saw Huang Lei and He Jiong busy in full swing, one frying scallion pancakes, and the other mixing noodles and plating.

"Yo, you're back! I heard that you've hired a female assistant!"

He Jiong began to laugh evilly as soon as Wei Baichen entered the door, and he and Huang Lei squeezed their eyebrows, he and Chen Hui are also old friends, and the news will naturally not lag behind.

Teacher He's words caused the film crew to burst into laughter, which made Wei Baichen embarrassed, and his face became hot.

"Yo, blushing?" Huang Lei accosted while flipping the scallion pancake: "Dabai, how old is the female assistant?"

Wei Baichen said: "It's more than twenty, it's about the same age as me......"

"Hahahaha, you are- ulterior motives!!" Huang Lei turned his head and smiled at the staff around him.

"Hahahaha!"

There was another burst of laughter from the people around them.

At this moment, Wei Baichen's face couldn't hold back, and he hurriedly defended: "No, no, I really didn't think about anything else." I just, I don't think it's easy for her, so I ......"

Isn't this the usual beginning of a love story? ”

After speaking, He Jiong punched Da Bai on the shoulder.

Everyone laughed again.

Seeing this, Wei Baichen knew that he couldn't continue the topic anymore, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Teacher He, don't laugh, this time I went to recruit assistants, also for the sake of future work. ”

Seeing that he was serious, Huang Lei couldn't help asking, "Oh, there's a new announcement?"

"There is a movie invitation, I am a little hesitant, and I hope you will give some opinions. ”

"Yes, so quickly, I have stepped into the film circle from variety shows!" Huang Lei deliberately amused.

He Jiong was also happy for Dabai, and asked with a smile: "What play?"

"A literary film. ”

Huang Lei has also acted in literary films, and smiled: "I just debuted, and acting in literary films is also very good, at least, I can hone my acting skills, which is good for future development." How's it going?

"Uh...... It's a lot, I seem to be the male number one. Wei Baichen scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Hey, hey, male number one!"

"The first movie is the male number one?! ”

He Jiong and Huang Lei were both a little surprised.

Wei Baichen was embarrassed and added: "However, the filming place is quite far away. ”

When He Jiong heard him say this, he was also curious: "Where to shoot?"

"Island ......"

As soon as these words came out, Mr. He, Mr. Huang and others exploded.

"Ahh......h

"O island nation...... Hee-hee-hee. ”

"Island country literary films, envy!"

“......”
