Chapter 299: Beauty Jianghu

Ning Yuan scratched his head and said helplessly: "But I don't know what they like." My dad often goes to tea with his work partners, and I don't know if it's because he needs it for work or if he really likes it. My mom just likes to buy things and take care of them. As for my two older brothers and sister-in-law, we didn't live together much since we were young, and I didn't know what they liked. ”

"What about the annoyance?" Zhou Linlang asked.

"Probably not. Ning Yuan wasn't sure.

"Okay......" Zhou Linlang was helpless, "Then I'll buy it casually, I hope they will like it." ”

"Don't worry, they'll love it. ”

After agreeing on this matter, the two chatted for a while, and Zhou Linlang urged Ning Yuan to rest. Ning Yuan inked for a while, and gladly accepted his girlfriend's suggestion. Ning Yuan, who was tired and finally had nothing to do, quickly fell asleep, but Zhou Linlang, who hung up the phone, did not feel sleepy at all. As long as she thought of going to see Ning Yuan's parents, she felt anxious. Such anxiety seriously affected sleep, and the next day Zhou Min came over and was startled when he saw her thick dark circles.

"What's wrong, you emaciated. Zhou Min asked in surprise, "I'm going to sign a contract today, you're not in a good state." ”

"Didn't sleep well last night. Zhou Linlang was going to put on a mask to save his face. She can't stand her decadent face.

"Didn't sleep well?" Zhou ** thought that before leaving last night, Zhou Linlang was struggling with her and Ning Yuan's relationship problems, and couldn't help but make up a big drama of love and hate. Zhou Min glanced at Zhou Linlang's expression and asked cautiously, "You called Ning Yuan last night?"

Zhou Linlang nodded.

"What did you say, you won't quarrel, will you?"

Zhou Linlang shook his head.

"You didn't quarrel, and you still can't sleep in depression?

Zhou Linlang wanted to give Zhou Min, who was guessing randomly, a roll of the eyes, but she had a mask on her face, and she couldn't move for the sake of the mask effect. Zhou Linlang turned his head, not looking at Zhou Min, out of sight.

Knowing that Zhou Linlang didn't want to see him, Zhou Min shut up honestly. But the lack of his heart is like a cat scratch, and he wants to know what happened to Zhou Linlang last night, and his intuition tells him that it must have something to do with Ning Yuan. Waiting for Zhou Linlang to do a good job of maintenance, Zhou Min couldn't help but ask about it, but Zhou Linlang didn't say anything.

Zhou Linlang: Who told Zhou Min to say that she quarreled with her boyfriend just now, he should be anxious, knowing that he can't say anything casually!

So, Zhou Min was trapped, and there has always been a question in his heart, whether he can't go up or down, who knows how uncomfortable it is. Half a month later, Zhou Linlang and Ning Yuan went to see their parents, and Zhou Min knew what was going on, and he was able to solve this stubborn disease that had been blocked in his heart for many days. However, at that time, Zhou Min was busy with public relations, and he didn't have time to take care of stubborn things. This is a later story, and no one knows what will happen in the future at this time.

The contract was signed smoothly, the director, producer and actor are all acquaintances, and they are friends who have worked together many times, and Zhou Linlang is very happy to work with them again.

The name of this movie is very bad, it's called "Beauty Jianghu", especially like the name of a browser game. The plot is not complicated, it is about a fictional dynasty, this dynasty is forbidden by force, and the martial arts people are all rioters. But the heir of the dynasty, the little prince, yearns for the legendary rivers and lakes, and secretly leaves home to explore the rivers and lakes, and is rescued by the first beauty in the rivers and lakes in the hands of mountain bandits, and follows the beauty to participate in the martial arts conference. Along the way, he fell in love with the first beauty for a long time, met heroes from all walks of life, experienced all kinds of strange things, and finally became the leader of the martial arts alliance with his wisdom.

Then the emperor was seriously ill, and the little prince revealed his identity, leading to the life experience of the first beauty, and the two enemies met. In the face of the great cause, the little prince could only give up his children's personal affairs to return to Beijing, and was chased and killed by thieves on the way. In the end, with the help of everyone, the little prince returned to the palace to inherit the throne, and the heroes and heroes who helped him were given official positions, money, and rehabilitated the first beauty.

When the little prince ascended the throne, the daughter of the queen and the minister of the court, the orphan girl she took in at the beginning became a concubine, but his first beauty chose to leave the capital and forgot about the little prince in the rivers and lakes. At the end of the story, the emperor recalled the happy enmity and hatred in the rivers and lakes back then, and coldly ordered the people in the rivers and lakes to be hanged. All kinds of rivers and lakes are like a dream made by this dynasty, when they wake up from the dream, they are still based on martial arts and prohibition, and agriculture is the foundation.

This is the irony of this story, at the beginning, the old emperor ordered the people to be killed, and finally the little emperor gave the same order. Everything in the middle seems to be a farce, hula la, hula la, hula go, without taking a single cloud. This is also the most ironic point of this movie, and it is also the most brilliant point. Without this ridicule, this movie is an absolute bad movie, and neither Zhou Linlang nor Xuan Jingran will take this movie. But to shoot this black humor well and get the point right, not every director has this level.

This is what the actor is worried about, and it is also what the director is concerned about. But it's too early to say this, everything will have to wait until the movie is filmed and released.

The preliminary preparations for this movie have been completed a long time ago, just because the company signed Wu Kun and promised to give Wu Kun more resources, so the role of the male protagonist of this movie was left to wait for Wu Kun. But in the end, Wu Kun was vaguely blocked, and the role of the male protagonist fell into the hands of Xuan Jingran. The director was also replaced by Niu Zhuang, who is not good at martial arts dramas, and the main actors were also changed again. And the company's sudden replacement did not notify the original author of the film, that is, the screenwriter of the movie. It is said that the big guy was very unhappy, and the actor did not show up directly at the meeting, and everyone muttered in their hearts, and couldn't help but be a little worried about the situation of the crew after the filming started.

After the actors' meeting, Niu Zhuang privately found Xuan Jingran and Zhou Linlang.

"I came to you two with an idea. Niu Zhuang said, "The work "Beauty Jianghu" is the brainchild of Mr. Xu. In the early stage, from the completion of the book to the establishment of the project, and then to the later preparations, Mr. Xu has always done it himself. Because of some circumstances, the previous director withdrew from the filming with his team, and the company also changed most of the actors in the play, well, it was also negligence in the work......"

Speaking of which, Niu Zhuang was also a little embarrassed. Obviously, some people in the company did not do things authentically and offended the screenwriter, but in order to save his respect, he had to avoid the important and light. The most annoying thing is that when they offended people, they didn't think about the situation of the crew, and didn't there be a screenwriter in making a movie? What kind of fool did this stupid thing, really thinking that this is the era when capital is king? In order to make a good movie, what is needed is the cooperation of various departments, not just taking money.

Thinking of these things, Niu Zhuang got angry, but he couldn't do it. Last year, he made two consecutive films that were dismal at the box office, and this year he wanted to apply for film funding again, but he couldn't get it. He is a director, young and strong, what can he do if he doesn't make movies, can he move bricks on the construction site? Now, the company asked him to shoot "Beauty Jianghu", promising to give him enough funds. Although he is not good at it, as the old guy said, he has a job to do, and he can enrich his shooting experience. Besides, although he has never made martial arts films, they are all movies, they are all use of light and shadow, and this movie is not traditional martial arts, why can't he shoot it well, maybe he can find his talent on the other hand.

Accept this movie with a heart of turning over, and after understanding, Niu Zhuang found that there are too many things behind this movie. The original author, the screenwriter, has been offended, and many of the characters in the play came through the back door.

The little flower who wanted to occupy the female number one was rejected and finally took the female number three - Zhang Jiaoyue, the financial owner behind it is the boss. The actor of the male No. 2 Young League leader is the son of a high-level company and a newcomer who has just entered the circle. is the heroine Zhou Linlang, the actor of the first beauty in martial arts, who was also recommended by Wu Baiyong - if it weren't for Wu Baiyong's support, he would really not be so hard to refuse Zhang Jiaoyue, and he would not take the initiative to mention Zhou Linlang as the female number one. The male number one is played by Xuan Jingran because of his admirer, a rich rich woman's investment, and so on. Count casually, there are five or six related households to the crew, and they are still more important characters in the play. Those who don't matter...... Well, unimportant roles, and related users can't look down on them.

Now, Niu Zhuang only hopes that these related households still have some professional ethics and some acting skills, and the crew will not be too ugly during filming.

Niu Zhuang retracted his thoughts and continued: "It's not a matter if the crew doesn't have a screenwriter, I want to go and ask Mr. Xu in person." What do you think?"

If it were someone else, Niu Zhuang would definitely not ask. But whoever asked him to take over the crew, there are people behind the actors - even if the actors don't know - he doesn't dare to offend those big guys.

"We're with you. ”

Zhou Linlang and Xuan Jingran both nodded. They didn't know what Niu Zhuang was thinking, and when they saw Niu Zhuang's sad face, they just thought they were worried about the crew, and immediately expressed their willingness to go with Niu Zhuang to visit the screenwriter Mr. Xu.

"Then it's decided. I asked for the address, it's in Sioux City, we're tomorrow, oh, by the way, you'll all have time tomorrow. ”

"There is time. ”

"No problem. ”

"Okay, then tomorrow afternoon, we will meet at the company, and then we will visit Mr. Xu together. ”

"Okay. ”

"See you tomorrow. ”

The next day, Zhou Linlang and Xuan Jingran came to the company as promised. In order to leave a good impression on Mr. Xu, both of them dressed up carefully, and the style of their clothes tried to match the characters in the movie as much as possible. In order not to appear deliberate, the two did not wear ancient costumes. Zhou Linlang wore a black windbreaker, her hair stood up high, and her makeup was neat and chivalrous. Xuan Jingran wore a white suit, and the high-end suit matched his exquisite appearance and was full of luxury.

The deliberate dress of the two made Niuzhuang's eyes shine, and he was more confident in the next visit.
