Chapter 307: It's not about intuition
Twentieth Century Fox has been stepping up the promotion of "Zombie Supreme", and Lin Zhengying has not been able to see the box office results of "Zombie Supreme" in Hong Kong, so he and the other leading actors of "Zombie Supreme" were arranged by Xu Ziming to go to the American theater chain for promotion and catwalk.
Among the people who accompanied Lin Zhengying, there were naturally Qian Xiaohao and Xu Guanying, the two apprentices of Uncle Jiu, and Wang Xiaofeng, the female ghost actor who would often be a guest in Uncle Jiu's series of movies in the future.
A few meters away from the gate of the Oriental Film Company, a few meters away from the gate, a taxi quietly stopped.
"Beauty, the place has arrived. The taxi driver reminded.
"Thank you. Wang Guxian handed the fare to the driver and got out of the car cautiously.
The current Wang Guxian is far from being as gorgeous as he saw in the photos of later generations, and his face still retains a little girlish innocence.
In particular, her eyes and skin are particularly moving, their eyes are large and clear, and they seem to flow with brilliance, and her skin is as white and tender as milk satin, which makes people love it.
Entering the dozens of floors tall Oriental Film Company Building, she asked the staff of Oriental Film Company along the way, and soon came to Xu Ke's office.
Wang Guxian is already a famous movie star, and he has also been recognized by many staff members along the way.
At this moment, in Xu Ke's office, Xu Ke sat helplessly on the big chair in the office. This morning, he had auditioned two or three groups of people, but after the audition, none of them satisfied him.
The distress caused by choosing the female role suddenly made Xu Ke feel lost in "A Chinese Ghost Story", and there was a kind of helplessness that a good woman could not cook without rice.
"Go back, your height is not suitable, you can't look good, and it looks even worse in ancient costumes. Xu Ke is also speaking more and more viciously now, and if he doesn't like the eye, he will directly speak viciously and drive away, and he won't even give the other party a chance to audition.
As soon as Wang Guxian knocked on the door and came in, he saw a girl running out of the office crying, maybe she was scared to cry by Xu Ke's scolding.
Wang Guxian also heard Xu Ke's unpleasant words through the door, and suddenly became extremely cautious.
"Mr. Xu, I'm here to audition for the heroine today. Wang Guxian and Xu Ke have cooperated once, and she believes that Xu Ke should leave some virtue for herself.
Xu Ke couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that the person who came was Wang Guxian.
He remembered that a few days ago, Shi Nansheng told him that he politely rejected Wang Guxian's request to audition, and Xu Ke didn't expect Wang Guxian to insist on it.
However, Xu Ke himself was not very optimistic about Wang Guxian's audition, and out of an old friend's tone, he persuaded: "Miss Wang, your height is too high, and the character of Xiaoqian, the heroine, is a little inappropriate." ”
In addition to the height is a problem, Wang Guxian's acting skills are not good, and the temperament is even worse.
Xu Ke once saw Wang Guxian for the first time, and he was also shocked, that is, Wang Guxian was very eye-catching in modern fashion.
However, changing into ancient costumes, Xu Ke is estimated to be much worse.
Wang Guxian roughly guessed that Xu Ke would talk like Shi Nansheng, and immediately said without humility or arrogance: "Mr. Xu, can you give me a chance to audition, if it really doesn't work, then I am willing to give up this leading role candidate." ”
Xu Ke had a lot of things on hand, and he was also annoyed by the audition, and said with some embarrassment: "Otherwise, I can see if there are other roles in this movie that are suitable for Miss Wang." ”
Although Xu Ke has not yet chosen the hostess, the alternative heroine has already considered Luo Meiwei, Luo Meiwei is one of the members of the previous Happy Ghost Girl Group, but now she is signed under other film companies.
Wang Guxian's heart couldn't help but sink, she understood that Xu Ke was rejecting her
, but Wang Guxian didn't want to give up, and said very tactfully: "Mr. Xu, you just let me give it a try, if it doesn't work, then forget it." ”
Xu Ke couldn't stand the annoyance, and was troubled by the heroine's question for a long time, and fell into an anxious state at this time
He said impatiently: "Miss Wang, this is a costume drama, in addition to the standard height, the heroine must also have a kind of classical beauty." I'll be blunt, your costume may not be up to my requirements. ”
Xu Ke has already spoken very directly, if she is a thin-skinned girl, she may have run out sadly, but Wang Guxian decided to hold on and persuaded Xu Ke to give him a chance to audition, because whether it has classical beauty or not, you can only know if you change your clothes.
Wang Jixian has not signed any film company now, and her film source can only rely on herself to fight for it, and she will not fight for the opportunity to get ahead again.
While the two were still talking, Huang Baiming and Xu Ziming were discussing things in the aisle.
Huang Baiming announced his departure from Xinyicheng as early as last week, but he did not leave with his front foot, and came to vote for Xu Ziming with his back foot.
He also thought about creating a film company by himself, but considering the limited cinema chain and weak distribution ability, his idea finally failed.
Instead of crossing the river by feeling the stones, it is better to walk the steps given to him by Xu Ziming and accept the conditions proposed by Xu Ziming before. In this way, it is smooth and comfortable.
So, starting today, Huang Baiming officially became the director and screenwriter of Oriental Film Company.
Huang Baiming, as Xu Ziming's former friend in Xinyi City, Xu Ziming was also quite polite, and specially led him to the new office, coincidentally, his office happened to be on the left side of Xu Ke's office.
As the two of them got closer to the office, the conversation coming from Xuke's office grew louder and louder.
Huang Baiming listened to the voice in the next room very familiarly, "Who is Xu Ke talking to?"
Xu Ziming stepped forward directly and prepared to push the door and said, "Just go in and take a look." ”
The door creaked open slightly, and Wang Guxian and Xu Ke in the room immediately stopped talking and looked at the place where the door opened.
Xu Ziming, who came in, recognized Wang Guxian at a glance. And Huang Baiming, because Wang Guxian had the experience of signing a contract under Xinyicheng before, the two had met each other, and they could be regarded as acquaintances.
Xu Ke saw the two of them and asked with a smile, "Mr. Xu, why is Mr. Huang also here?"
Xu Ziming explained: "From today onwards, Mr. Huang is also a member of the Oriental Film Company, and his office is next to you. ”
Xu Ke congratulated: "Congratulations to Mr. Huang, we will be friends again in the future." ”
Xu Ke worked in Xinyicheng in his early years, and he naturally knew Huang Baiming, and he was also relatively familiar.
Huang Baiming pointed to Wang Guxian beside Xu Ke and said curiously: "What are you discussing between you?" ”
Wang Guxian was overjoyed, and when she saw Huang Baiming speak, she knew that things would definitely be easy to do, so she replied in front of Xu Ke: "A Chinese Ghost Story" is recruiting a heroine, and I want to ask Mr. Xu for an audition today. ”
When Xu Ke was about to add a few words on the basis of Wang Guxian's words, Xu Ziming spoke directly: "Xiaoxian, you have absolutely no problem with auditioning. ”
"Xiaoxian?" Huang Baiming and Xu Ke both looked at Xu Ziming in a strange tone, why did they call so kindly.
Wang Guxian was overjoyed, he knew that Xu Ziming's attitude towards him was so intimate, why bother to find Xu Ke in the first place.
Of course, Wang Guxian didn't expect that he had also starred in "The Saint of Gambling" at the beginning, and Xu Ziming could still remember himself.
Xu Ke was calm, he actually wanted to audition, so let's audition.
A group of people came out of the office, Xu Ziming thought about it, and said: Go to the dressing room first and dress up Xiaoxian. ”
After arriving at the dressing room, the makeup artist tried his best to draw the thrush for Wang Guxian, and outlined it in strict accordance with the style of ancient costumes.
The appearance was just right at the audition, and Xu Ke made up his mind that Wang Guxian would play Nie Xiaoqian.
As for the so-called first choice and alternative before, they were all abandoned by Xu Ke.
After finishing the heroine's affairs, Xu Ke looked particularly proud, Xu Ziming and Huang Baiming smiled and didn't care.
"This old monster Xu really has nothing to say. After coming out of the audition place, Xu Ziming smiled.
Huang Baiming asked: "How did you know at first glance that Wang Guxian was such a suitable candidate for the heroine." ”
Xu Ziming pointed to his brain and said, "Of course, it depends on intuition. ”
Huang Baiming lowered his head and shook his head in disbelief, "I don't really believe in intuition. ”
Xu Ziming said seriously: "What do you believe? Do you think that some people are born knowing some things and can predict some things. ”
Huang Baiming's eyes lit up, and he said to Xu Ziming: "When you first created "Best Partner" in Xinyi City, my intuition told me that you were lucky. ”
"But my instincts were wrong, and now I find that you don't rely on intuition, but on a latent ability to predict, and you have a far-sighted vision that can see the clues of many things. ”
Xu Ziming asked, "Why do you think so?"
Huang Baiming explained: "Your experience proves my thoughts, such as "God of Gamblers", "Prison Storm", "Zombie Supreme" These are all your manifestations in the film industry, as for other business circles, I dare not speculate too much, because I don't have those experiences and experiences. ”
"Thank you for the compliments. Xu Ziming said with a smile.
The two talked about a lot of topics in a row, which made Huang Baiming's mouth dry.
Huang Baiming proposed: "Why don't we go to the Peninsula Hotel for afternoon tea together?" ”
Xu Ziming politely refused: "Don't bother, I still have something to deal with in the afternoon, I'll go first." ”
"That'll do. ”
Looking at Xu Ziming's departing back, Huang Baiming couldn't help but sigh: "It's really too busy, compared with many years ago, it's really getting more and more incomprehensible." ”
Xu Ziming is very busy, and he received news this morning that there is a person who has completed his studies at an American university and will take a flight back to Hong Kong tomorrow.
Xu Ziming now goes back to arrange the person who will pick up the airport, and at the same time arrange the living environment for the other party.
In Xu Ziming's life, there are many celebrities and beauties who occupy a place in his heart, and this woman who is about to return to Hong Kong, like Lin Qingxia, has a very important position in his heart.
However, Xu Ziming was full of guilt for treating her, compared to Lin Qingxia, Xu Ziming did not apologize, but it was her, Xu Ziming felt that in the other party's mind, he seemed to be a little saddled with the infamy of playing with emotions.
Because Xu Ziming coaxed the other party at the beginning, saying that he would write to her and keep in touch with her at all times, but after Xu Ziming returned to China, he seemed to forget about this matter.
In the past two years, just the other party's birthday, he will arrange someone to celebrate her birthday, as for the rest of the time, he has forgotten everything.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the change in Xu Ziming's thinking. With the quiet changes in age and contact with things, Xu Ziming's thinking has also changed a lot, and he is no longer used to being controlled by a woman.
On the contrary, he wants to learn how to control the person he likes, instead of dwelling on the problems between feelings.
