No. 28, Long Street, light snow.

In the evening, the street lights were dim, Lu Xiaoran got out of the car and walked quickly into the door of this hot pot restaurant.

The waiter led him up to the box on the second floor, where Cao Baoping and Wang Zhiwen had been waiting for a while.

Lu Xiaoran doesn't believe in Cao Baoping's character very much...

So I called Wang Zhiwen, who has always been interested in "The Back of the Sun".

Why?

"Li Mi's Conjecture", that movie was originally Xu Zheng's wife Xiao Taohong watched a news in the "Face to Face" column, the true story of the taxi driver being kidnapped by two robbers, and then recommended it to director Cao Baoping.

Xiao Taohong and Cao Baoping have collaborated on the TV series "The Back of the Sun" before, and they agreed that they must cooperate on a movie if they have the opportunity in the future.

It's naïve...

During the creation stage of the script, Zhou Xun learned that he couldn't let go of it. Coupled with Huayi's pressure, not only did he pay for it, but he also played the cards in which Zhang Hanyu, Deng Chao, and Wang Baoqiang participated together.

So, resources are really torn out!

This is also the reason why Lu Xiaoran has always stayed away from the first-line actresses in the circle - no actress is particularly clean, without a little ruthlessness, and cannot become a first-line!

......

"Teacher Cao, Brother Zhiwen!"

While saying hello, take off your coat and hang it on the hanger behind the door.

"Come on, sit down!"

"Hmm..."

Lu Xiaoran sat down and said very casually: "In the past few days, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is going crazy!"

Cao Baoping nodded...

Yes, it's really crazy, no one thought that Feng's comedy would burst out with such a strong box office appeal when it returned to the Lunar New Year, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" four days in the first weekend, strongly brushed down 80 million box office, and the next week it did not decrease but rose, winning 110 million, with a cumulative box office of 190 million, and now, the single-day box office still exceeds 10 million...

According to the prediction, 300 million can't be beaten, and it is likely to exceed the box office record of 311 million just brushed by Wu Baige...

"Comedy is still very marketable!"

“... The main Uncle Ge + Feng Xiaogang, the cards are invincible!"

"In such a comparison, my movies are not enough to watch!"

Lu Xiaoran laughed at herself...

Well, it's really a bit embarrassing, in the first half of the month, the media boasted about Lu Xiaoran and "Rescue Mr. Wu", but in just half a month, it was out of breath...

The media is really realistic!

Whichever way the wind falls, they report on whichever side ...

Cao Baoping has a different opinion: "The watchability of "Rescue Mr. Wu" is far more watchable than "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and the box office is just the icing on the cake!"

"But now the focus of public attention is the box office, the film is marketized, and the box office is an important basis for measuring the success of a movie!"

Cao Baoping smiled bitterly: "Yes, so, I don't dare to make a movie!"

That's true, after Mr. Cao finished filming "Li Mi's Conjecture", turned around and continued to tinker with the TV series...

According to the trajectory of the original time and space, it was not until 13 years that a "Dog Thirteen" was filmed...

Also banned for five years!

Lu Xiaoran was noncommittal, and looked at Wang Zhiwen: "What do you think, senior brother?"

“... I don't even shoot commercials, so you talk to me about the box office?"

Lu Xiaoran hurriedly picked up the wine glass: "I'm sorry, it's me Meng Lang!"

......

Wang Zhiwen's personality is a bit arrogant, it is the kind of arrogance in the real sense, not fake Qinggao, on the one hand, flaunting the old drama bones, and on the other hand, receiving various advertisements, Telunsu: "We are growing up with this era, we need better nutrition." ”

It's not that celebrities can't accept advertisements, it's just that since you advertise Qinggao, then please carry out Qinggao to the end!

That's how it is.

And he said, 'Money, I like it, I have no enmity with it.' It's tempting to shoot commercials, and I make money quickly, but I don't feel comfortable earning this money, I think I'm buying and selling, and it's this face that I'm selling, I think it's boring. ’

That year, at the premiere of the starring movie "Fanny's Smile", the reporter praised him for his good performance. Lao Wang directly retorted coldly: "The acting is not good." Later, he also said that he had always been dissatisfied with the script of the movie, and bluntly said: "Such a role can also win an award, and Muscovites are blind." "Fanny's Smile" won the Best Actor at the 8th Moscow Love Film Festival.

also directly rejected the premiere of the film in Beijing, and even angered the filmmaker.

This is called arrogance!

Of course, what Lu Xiaoran admires most about him is the woman's relationship, really, the 7 girlfriends are seamless, each is a goddess!

Lin Fangbing, Pan Jie, Sister Fan, Xu Qing, Jiang Shan, Tian Hairong, and then his current wife Chen Jianhong...

......

"Mr. Cao, what do you think of the story of "Sunspots"?"

Cao Baoping spoke: "It's not easy to shoot, and it's difficult to get a high box office with such a theme!"

"Are you confident that you can shoot well?"

Cao Baoping asked rhetorically: "... What do you say?"

This is nonsense ...

Cao Baoping is best at the theme of little people struggling and distorting in uncomplicated stories.

The auxiliary device spoke highly of Cao Baoping, saying that he is a rare Chinese filmmaker who has always insisted on making realistic films and has high self-requirements!

Really!

"That's fine, you just need to be responsible for the shooting, and we'll take care of the rest!"

"What about the scale?"

"Golden Shield Film and Television will also join, as long as there is no problem with the style, you can shoot however you want!"

Cao Baoping's eyes lit up: "... I'll go back and refine the script!"

"Then this matter is decided, I will let the production team follow up, ten months of preliminary preparation, is it enough?"

“... Almost!"

Wang Zhiwen spoke: "In terms of actors, what do you think?"

"Let's wait for Mr. Cao to finish writing the script, and then we will study the casting together..."

Wang Zhiwen sighed: "If it weren't for the inappropriate age, I really want to play Xin Xiaofeng or Yi Gu Chun!"

“... You can play Haru Iya's master!"

Wang Zhiwen thought about it for a moment, and then nodded: "It's okay." ”

Lu Xiaoran suddenly thought of something: "Have you read the script of "The Wind"?"

“... Look, I'll play that Wang Tianxiang!"

"I play Takeda!"

Wang Zhiwen's eyes lit up: "When the time comes, I'll try your level!"

During the release of "Rescue Mr. Wu", a bunch of people praised Lu Xiaoran's good performance, saying that 'the acting is very advanced, and he completely put himself into the body of a criminal policeman, from the movements, eyes, lines, and lines, I only see the role but not the actor, real, simple and delicate, full of tension... Look out for him!'

Please, Lu Xiaoran really didn't think about it so much, he just followed Cao Zhigang's story and went to ordinary people...

may be because he is too handsome, and he successfully plays an ordinary person, and he is considered to have acting skills.

But his family knows his own affairs, and his acting skills can only be regarded as beginners at most, which is far from Wang Zhiwen's.

“... Don't, senior brother, you can teach me more when the time comes..."

Wang Zhiwen smiled, and then asked, "Aren't you going to shoot a TV series soon? Do you have time to think about the role?"

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand: "It's okay, TV series are used to make money, I will distinguish the weight!"
