Chapter Twenty-Eight: Meeting
"Why can't you look down on these junior brothers and sisters?"
“… No, I just don't think it's interesting..."
Liu Chang sighed: "Alas, there are a lot of registrations every year, but they are all the same, and finally a good seedling appeared, and it was snatched away by the Chinese opera or the upper drama!"
Belch...
That's the case, good seedlings want it from several major universities, Deng Chao and Hu Ge have already passed Nortel's interview, and later, Deng Chao went to Chinese opera, and Lao Hu chose to play.
"Who's that little girl?"
"Not tall? Oh, you said Jiao Junyan, she's really good!"
“… Jiao Junyan... It's easy to confuse this name with Jiao Yujun. ”
"Haha, you're not the first to say that, you Teacher Jiang said the same thing!"
Teacher Jiang, Jiang Bing, teaches physical fitness.
……
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Liu Chang received a phone call, and then went to the Yuluxuan Tea House with Lu Xiaoran.
Li Dawei has already booked a box.
He is 36 years old, according to the chronology, he belongs to the young director, he is very tall, close to 1.9 meters, and he is slightly fat.
After chatting a few words, you will know his general character, which is a very typical Nortel background, once you talk about movies, you will open and close your mouth to Kubrick, Hitchcock...
Emotional intelligence is a bit low...
This kind of person is very easy to get along with.
According to the original idea, Lu Xiaoran originally thought that she would accept an audition.
But Li Dawei didn't seem to have this intention at all, just had a meal and got to know each other.
Lu Xiaoran is not the kind of person who dies for nothing, so he just sits next to him and watches them chat...
Liu Chang obviously has a close relationship with Li Dawei, so he asked directly: "The movie channel is fully invested?"
“… A friend introduced an investor, and the movie channel was responsible for half of the investment. ”
Generally speaking, the total amount of investment in a movie by the movie channel will not exceed one million, so most of the movies in the production department of the movie channel in those years were rural themes or costume martial arts...
Nothing else, low investment!
"Can that be released?"
"It's not a big problem, as long as it doesn't exceed the rules..."
"Now that the market is not good, you are basically losing money when making movies, how can you think?"
This is true, in the past few years, except for Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang's movies, everyone has been losing money!
Brother Chen Kai is no exception!
"I always have to try, and it's covered by the movie channel, so it shouldn't be a big problem to get back to the original. ”
After chatting for a while, Li Dawei seemed to realize the main purpose of today, took out the notebook from his bag, handed it to Lu Xiaoran, and said, "You take a look first." ”
Lu Xiaoran took the script, and the cover read "Let's See"...
It's really the work that the husky said can be played or not!
After reading it again, this is a very typical good sentence, but it is not an excellent work as a whole.
In particular, at the end, a fragment of Ma Jie's reminiscences of the past was added twenty years later - 'I am worried that my image in my daughter's mind is not as good as that of an orangutan, and my reverence for living beings will affect me for the rest of my life, which is what Black Six and Black Rider taught me!'
directly changed the theme of the whole story from questioning Brother Wen and opposing the system to protecting animals and revering life...
That's...
All of a sudden, the eighty points of the work were reduced to sixty points...
It gives people a feeling of being forced to have a reunion.
Lu Xiaoran asked directly: "Director, why do you want to change it like this?"
"In order to pass the trial - this has to be broadcast on TV!"
Lu Xiaoran was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, this story is quite suitable for being screened abroad..."
Smooth smiled and asked, "Do you have a channel?"
“… You can find someone!"
Ning Hao ran various film festivals in those years, and he should know a lot of people who specialized in running film festivals...
"You mean a double ending?"
“… Well. ”
Double ending, overseas version, domestic version, this is the first thing Lao Mouzi did - "Alive" is the domestic version, the overseas version...
Li Dawei frowned, of course he was a little tempted, but when these words came out of Lu Xiaoran's mouth, he always felt a little unreliable...
"I'll start with a section!"
Lu Xiaoran spread out the script and found what he thought was the most classic passage: "... Your brother isn't a good thing either
All day long, extravagance and indulgence do nothing
Pretending to be an emperor to breed for a living
The girl changed it
He doesn't know how many sons he has
This is your brother!
What is it...
I thought you were a donkey
But then I found out that you are not a donkey
But now I look
You're still a donkey
Open your donkey's eyes and look at them
These things
Which can't take your donkey's life
I'm telling you, you're on my head, peeing,, and
But you can't have dysentery
This pedal is contagious
You met your brother in a moment
You talk to it, you step on the horse and let it judge!"
It's very slippery, a paragraph, Lu Xiaoran said in a low tone, with the expression on his face, it seems that there is really a triumphant little black donkey in front of him...
In fact, professional actors can say that the lines are not bad, especially those who have experience in stage performance, the key is to see how to handle it and how to divide it.
A good actor often has a long line show:
Li Xuejian has a three-minute solo show of "Born Out of the Sky";
Chen Daoming also has a five-minute show of 'I Daqing'...
Li Dawei grinned and glanced at Liu Chang...
The role is decided!
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the party ended, Li Dawei left a contact information for Lu Xiaoran, and then left...
The specific filming time should be early September - he is still busy dealing with the post-production of the TV series at hand, and the actor has to experience life two months in advance...
"Can you really find someone?"
“… What?"
Liu Chang repeated: "I mean, can you really get this work to the film festival?"
“… How can I have this ability," Lu Xiaoran hurriedly waved his hand...
"Then what did you just say that?"
“… I'll call and ask Ning Hao, he used to be a mixed film festival, and there should be a doorway. ”
"Ning Hao?"
"The director of "Green Meadow" and "Incense"!"
"I know..."
In front of Liu Chang, Lu Xiaoran dialed Ning Hao's phone, who was in a good mood:
“… Director Ning, didn't you say before that you knew the film festival selectors in Hong Kong?"
"Yes, I have a project in my hand that is very suitable for screening abroad... The director is Li Dawei, the director of "The Family of Gold Powder"..."
“… Absurdist comedy, about the era of educated youth..."
“… Okay, then you give me his contact information!"
After writing down the number, Lu Xiaoran hung up the phone: "Wang Qingqiang, the Asian selector of the Berlin Film Festival, Ning Hao's "Incense" was discovered by him and then brought to Nogano for screening!"
Liu Chang thought for a while: "I know this person, the curator of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, is quite famous, but he only selects films, does not make investments, and does not do production..."
Lu Xiaoran simply spread it out: "I just proposed, if Director Dawei is interested, he will always find a way..."
“… You're forcing him to sin!"
