Gu Meng retired and returned to the hotel.

He took out the bounty given by the city bureau and handed over 3,000 to Zhang Lin and 2,000 to Kong Changqi.

"Take it, you deserve it"

Zhang Lin took the money and saluted solemnly.

Kong Changqi took the money and smiled, "Gu Meng, do you want to hear bad news?"

"What?"

"The bureau asked me to pass on a message to you, you are too reckless, and you will have a big demerit. ”

Gu Meng smiled faintly, "How many big ones will be expelled?"

Kong Changqi touched his chin, "Three or five others, three or five hundred are impossible for you, right?"

"Hey, that's a piece of!"

He sighed slightly, and smiled at Gong Li: "We are a day late, do you think Director Zhang will be angry?"

Miyari smiled slightly, "Probably not, right?"

Unfortunately, she guessed wrong.

At noon, Gu Meng took Gong Li to the West Film Studio.

When Lao Mouzi saw Gu Meng, his face was extremely ugly.

"Boss Gu, we said a few days ago, we officially joined the group yesterday, why are you late?"

Gu Meng said apologetically, "Director Zhang, we came yesterday, and we were going to come over in the afternoon, but unfortunately we encountered a little thing on the road and were delayed for a long time. ”

The brand is too big to scold.

Director Zhang sighed, looked at Gong Li, and immediately felt better.

"Xiaogong is here, it's been hard all the way, and when I come to the film studio, I will make this place my home, there are many places of interest in Xijing, where do I want to turn..."

"Oh~"

Miss Gong guessed wrong, how could she be happy?

Lao Mouzi was faceless, and said gloomily, "Come in, the factory director wants to see you." ”

Heh~, your factory director's body is really heavy, and I'm also a celebrity, right?

He shook his head and walked into the West Film Studio with Gong Li.

A large courtyard, several dilapidated buildings, dusty, and lush vegetation.

There are several wooden signs hanging in front of the buildings everywhere, saying that the filming studio, the projection room, the printing factory, and the production department look very simple.

But here countless excellent movies were born, such as "Red Sorghum", "Blind Well", "Life" and so on.

In the 80s, Western Film Studio was the most innovative studio in the country.

In '85, a "co-production department" was established to plan and coordinate co-production affairs.

These films have departed from the style of model dramas, no longer bitter and hateful, no longer blindly catering to politics, and have begun to keep up with Hong Kong films, pursuing entertainment, stimulating and funny, and even a lot of dew point shots.

Because of the enlightened policy of Western Film Studio, Xiangjiang filmmakers have come to ask for cooperation.

This time the filming of "Red Sorghum" can also be regarded as a co-production, the craftsmanship is regarded as the Xiangjiang side, and the Western Film represents the mainland.

The 80s can be said to be the golden age of Western Film Studios.

After the 90s, the film industry implemented reforms, abolished the policy of "unified purchase and sales", coupled with the impact of the film market in Xiangjiang and Moswan, Western Film Studio declined rapidly, retreating from the first place to the bottom.

Time is also fate!

"Haha, Boss Gu, look up for a long time!"

Entering the factory director's office, a bald and round-faced fat man walked out of the desk and greeted him with a smile.

This person is Wu Tianmin, the director of the factory, who has trained a large number of famous directors, such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, Huang Jianxing, etc.

He himself is also a famous director, and before his death in 14 years, he made a movie "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix".

It's a pity that the veteran is unknown, in the era of commercial films, he made a literary film, and no theater is willing to cooperate in scheduling films.

As a last resort, the old man knelt on the ground and begged the theater to schedule the film.

Hey~, time is also fate!

At this time, Wu Tianmin has the power and money, has a wide range of soldiers, is high-spirited, has a gold watch in his hand, and a gold chain around his neck.

See the virtuous and think together, see the unvirtuous and introspect.

Gu Meng secretly woke up that he must keep more hands in the future, and he must not get mixed up to that point.

"Director Wu, I'm glad to meet you!"

Gu Meng smiled and shook the other party's hand.

The two sides sat down, and Zhang Yimou made tea on the side.

After a few small talks, some scene words were spoken.

Suddenly, Wu Tianmin nodded his fingers and smiled, "Haha, Boss Gu, your craftsman company is really wealthy, you have invested in three movies a year, and now you are coming to grab food from us?"

Gu Meng was stunned for a moment, "What did Director Wu say?"

Wu Tianmin frowned, "The day before yesterday, the craftsmanship squeezed out our Xiying and Zheng Ying, and officially invested in "The Yellow River Hero" and became a partner of Yindu, Boss Gu doesn't know?"

Gu Meng really didn't know that he had too many things to do these days, and he didn't care about the stubble at all.

Sister Deng and Chang Hong can get the investment project so quickly, which is worthy of reward.

He smiled faintly, "Director Wu, I was on the train the day before yesterday, and I really didn't hear the news." ”

Wu Tianmin nodded and said with a smile: "Boss Gu, our West Film Studio is also very optimistic about this project, can you give up part of the investment, how about the cooperation between our West Film Studio and craftsmanship?"

Gu Meng shook his head and said truthfully:

"Director Wu, forgive me, the investment is the responsibility of the company's investment manager, I don't know the investment process, it's not good to promise Director Wu, why don't you wait for me to ask about the situation before discussing?"

"Haha, no need"

Wu Tianmin thought he was shirking, so he immediately pulled down his face, picked up the teacup and blew it~.

Serving tea to guests?

Gu Meng shook his head secretly, he wanted to talk to him about cooperation, but he still forgot about it.

"Director Wu, don't disturb your work, let's leave first. ”

"Boss Gu go slowly!"

Director Wu lost his initial enthusiasm, and sent a perfunctory sentence, and when the two of them walked to the door, they heard a voice from the house, 'not doing business'.

"Is this disgusted?"

Miyashi quipped with a smile.

"Are you happy?"

Gu Meng stared at her unkindly.

"Is there one?"

Miyali bent the corners of her mouth, looked left and right, and laughed out loud.

"Haha, boss, forgive me! In the past few days, you have been held by someone everywhere you go, and it is the first time you have seen someone give you a face!"

Yesterday, Gu Meng showed his identity at the police station, and even the city bureau was alarmed, and the boss personally came forward to receive him, and he was very majestic, but he didn't expect to eat behind closed doors in front of a factory director, which was really funny.

"I'm not a foreign exchange coupon, how can everyone like it?"

He smiled wickedly, "As long as you like it"

Miyali gritted her teeth and took out small scissors from her pocket, "Does the boss eat apples?"

Gu Meng slapped his forehead, very helpless, "Why did you take it out again?"

"Eat apples"

As she spoke, she really took out an apple from her pocket, pricked it with scissors, and crushed it before eating.

Gu Meng frowned.

The first time I saw someone eating an apple with scissors.

Are you the devil?

......

"Boss Gu Xiaogong, please come with me, and I'll introduce you to the people in the crew. ”

After a while, he met the photographer Gu Changwei again, that is, Jiang Wenli's husband.

Recording engineer Gu Changning, Gu Changwei's cousin.

Artist Yang Gang is responsible for actor modeling, props, etc.

soundtrack Zhao Jiping, who originally composed the music for "Sister, You Go Forward Boldly", is now useless.

In addition to these people, others followed assistant director Yang Fengliang and screenwriter Mo Yan to Yinzhou first to prepare.

After Gu Meng entered the group, there was no welcome ceremony, and he had a light meal in the cafeteria.

In the afternoon, the crew had a small meeting and discussed the outfit of the actor.

The protagonist is bald, and Gu Meng's bullet head is shaved off.

Then there is the styling of the clothes, the plot takes place in the summer, and the actors are mostly naked.

Gu Meng also took off his shirt and changed into a pair of torn pants with a long waist.

Because he often strikes iron and basks in the sun, his skin is dark, and the muscles of his body are not so perverted, but each piece has a feeling of explosion, with clear lines and great beauty, and this kind of muscle is not something that can be trained in the gym.

"Full of gangsterism and wildness, it's perfect!"

Photographer Gu Changwei praised behind the camera.

Everyone nodded in agreement, Gu Meng's whole body burst with hormones, only such a man would arouse the desire in a woman's heart, would he be favored by Jiu'er, and would be willing to roll sorghum with him.

He is too suitable to play the role of Yu Zhanao, the sedan chair man.

"Will you play a sedan chair with such a figure?"

Zhang Yimou frowned and said, in his mind, Yu Zhanao is a tall and strong man full of anger.

Jiang Wen's muscles are weak and not angry enough.

And Gu Meng is too strong and too angry, and the good ones are a bit excessive.

He was worried that the audience only cared about the figure of the male protagonist and ignored the plot, which weakened the artistry of the film.

"It won't"

Artist Yang Gang touched his chin to admire Gu Meng's figure, and said eagerly:

"The body is the second face of a person, and a good figure can attract the audience more, men and women are the same, otherwise why do you directors like to use beautiful women and handsome guys as the protagonists?"

The plot of the movie is all on the hero and heroine, and the audience stares at the protagonist, isn't it supposed to be?

If the supporting characters have such a figure, they will steal the show.

"Let's take a look!"

Zhang Yimou still has reservations.

"Gu Meng, have you read the script?"

"I've seen it!"

Director Zhang nodded, "Do you have a problem with the part where you perform the actor playing drunk?"

"No problem!"

"Three minutes to prepare!"

After Yu Zhanao and Jiu'er rolled the sorghum field, Jiu'er took over the Li family's soju workshop and became the head of the winery.

Once Yu Zhanao was very drunk, and he had the courage to carry a cover roll and prepare to settle in the wine workshop, trying to become the male owner of the wine workshop.

At the door, he met the guys at the winery, and couldn't help but tell them about the sorghum rolling incident.

In this way, he wanted to show the legitimacy of his entry into the brewery.

It also shows that Yu Zhanao, a hooligan, doesn't care about Jiu'er's image at all for the sake of personal face and interests.

It's a very difficult scene to play.

Gu Meng thought back to the plot of the movie and the script, and his body began to shake slowly, dancing with his hands.

After shaking for a while, he slowly found that drunken state.

Thinking about himself and Teacher Zhu and Sister Deng, he was an ordinary person, and he was able to get in touch with them, wasn't it just that he was lucky enough to get Jiu'er's Yu Zhanao?

When I found that feeling, the blood in my heart suddenly surged.

Roared loudly, "It's in this sorghum field~"

"Here we go!"

Gu Changwei reminded.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at each other intently.

"Do you think he can act well?" asked the recording engineer Gu Changning.

"I'm hanging!"

Zhao Jiping said, "He is an athlete who practices sports, he has only made cameos in Journey to the West and Red Mansions, and suddenly he became the leading actor, and it was another drinking scene, which is difficult!"

Zhang Yimou frowned, if he didn't act well, he would be replaced, this was the original agreement.

"Don't, don't! I can, I can go..."

When the actor entered the door, the guys in the wine shop pulled and stopped him, Gu Meng waved his arms, slurred his speech, and mixed garlic under his feet.

"Very good form!"

Gu Changwei's eyes lit up and he said in surprise.

"It's really good, no one cooperates, it's rare for him to get into the groove so quickly. ”

Yang Gang praised.

Gu Changning nodded, "He can play so well as an athlete, admire!"

"When he enters the crew, he is an actor, and he must not lower his standards because of his identity. ”

Zhang Yimou's brows were still furrowed, it was beyond his expectation that Gu Meng could perform like this, but he didn't want to lower his requirements because of his identity, otherwise it would be irresponsible.

"Later?"

Gu Meng sat on the ground, waved his hand like a fool, and said excitedly to the air in front of him, "Later, I flattened the sorghum, and she lay down, and I was happy when I lay down, haha~"

"Stop!"

Zhang Yimou shouted and stopped the performance.

Gu Meng was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, "Director Zhang?"

Zhang Yimou turned around a few times before he said: "You are in a good state, and you remember your lines well, but you don't have the kind of mixed energy that Yu Zhanao has, you only do the same, in essence, you are still performing, or a low-level imitation performance..."

Gu Meng's heart moved, he was indeed imitating just now, but he was actually seen out, Lao Mouzi's eyes were quite accurate.

"And my movie wants to be godlike, you are Yu Zhanao, and if you want to play this role, you will play this role alive, but unfortunately you can't play that feeling. ”

Director Zhang sighed deeply, a little embarrassed, Gu Meng's hardware is very suitable, but there is a big problem in acting.

Is it too late to change roles?

No way

The plot of this film takes place in summer and autumn, and it must be made this year.

Wait another year, it's not worth it!

I can't change roles now, so what should I do?

"Wait, we'll have a little meeting"

Zhang Yimou pulled the crew to sit together for a meeting.

Gu Meng took the initiative to walk to the room next to him and took a turn

......

Next door is a dressing room, where two female makeup artists are busy, helping Gong Li pan her head, putting on makeup, and taking makeup photos.

Miyari coiled her hair and wore the bride's wedding dress, which was very charming.

Gu Meng's heart moved, and he smiled:

"Pear, you are so beautiful! Seeing you wearing your wedding dress, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and a few lyrics flashed, do you want to hear it?"

"Really?"

Miyashi wanted to retreat solemnly, but when he heard that he was creating, he was still inspired by himself, and he was suddenly a little moved.

"You sing it, it must be serious lyrics!"

"Of course!"

Gu Meng walked behind her and sang softly, "Who married the sentimental you, who read your diary, who tied up your long hair, who made you a wedding dress?"

Gong Li was shocked, I thought it was an indecent lyrics, but I didn't expect it to be so good, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, yes, can I look at you quietly? You are my muse, and I have a tune in my heart when I look at you."

Gu Meng pleaded.

Miyali blushed and nodded, for the sake of one more song in the world, it doesn't hurt to sacrifice at all.

Gu Meng pulled a chair and sat side by side with Gong Li, tilting his head to look at him tightly, his beautiful eyes, red lips, especially the flushed appearance on her cheeks, which were more beautiful than the burning clouds in the sky.

"Are you alright?"

Being stared at by him, Gong Li's whole body was uncomfortable, and her cheeks were very hot.

"There it is!"

Gu Meng snapped his fingers, "Will you remember tomorrow, the diary you wrote yesterday, whether you will still remember tomorrow, you used to cry the most, the teachers can't remember it, you can't guess the problem, I also accidentally flipped through the photos before I remembered you at the same table..."

The song is very good, but the palace girl is a little unhappy.

"Why the same table, is this what you wrote to your tablemates?"

Gu Meng shook his head, "I'm too tall, I always sit in the last row, I haven't been at the same table, I used to especially hope to have a tablemate, a beautiful girl like you, today I finally got the bed I wanted, pear, thank you!"

Miyali blushed again, and after living for twenty years, she blushed the most in the last few days.

"Pear, how about I teach you to sing? Next time I release an album, how about we sing this song together?"

"I... I don't sing well."

"Haha!" Gu Meng learned the sound of a cow's bark, "Do you think my voice is beautiful?"

"Poof!"

The girl couldn't help but laugh, "Well, you told me to sing." ”

"Tomorrow will you remember, the diary you wrote yesterday..."

"Ahem!!"

Teacher Gu was in class, and a dissatisfied cough came from behind him.

He turned around and looked, "Ah, Director Zhang is here!"

"Boss Gu, please come out with me!" Director Zhang walked out with a dark face and was very unhappy.

Gu Meng said softly to Gong Li with a bitter face, "Director Zhang is angry, I'm going to be scolded again, hey~"

"Hehe~, you deserve it!"

.......

Outside the door, Zhang Dao said with a straight face, "Boss Gu, you are the investor of this movie, and you definitely don't want to fail in investment, but there is a big problem with your acting skills." ”

Gu Meng sighed secretly, "Director Zhang means to change the role?"

Zhang Yimou sighed secretly, I also want to change roles, but it's too much trouble.

'One chance, it all depends on your performance. ”

"Director Zhang, what do I need to do?"

"We can shoot other parts first, you still have more than half a month, I hope you can really get in touch with Yu Zhanao's life, learn to carry a sedan chair, learn how to talk like a sedan chair driver, and treat yourself as the real Yu Zhanao, not just imitate. ”

Gu Meng thought for a moment and asked, "Experience it yourself?"

Zhang Yimou nodded, "Are you confident?"

Gu Meng is not easy to answer, the experiential actor is the most troublesome, and if he accidentally enters the play, he will go crazy.

"If you don't have confidence, you can choose to give up"

Zhang Yimou smiled slightly, he really hoped that Gu Meng would retreat despite the difficulties.

Gu Meng shook his head, "I didn't give up the word in my dictionary."

Old man Tong said that the reason why the stubborn masters are stubborn masters is because they play very well no matter what they play, Cao Cao is a good wife, Tang Minghuang loves cockfighting, Ming Xizong is a carpenter, etc., these are all stubborn masters, and they are the world champion bosses, so they can't play anything else?

You can play something else, but you have to do it to the best of your ability.

"Whatever you want!"

Zhang Yimou was a little disappointed, turned around and entered the house.

Gu Meng stood quietly in the corridor, a little embarrassed, "Where to experience life?"

"Shall you go to my house?"

When he returned to the hotel in the evening, he found Kong Changqi to discuss with Zhang Lin, Kong Changqi said with a smile, "My hometown has sedan chairs, sorghum, yellow earth, and a lot of ruffians and hooligans, which is quite suitable." ”

"Where is your hometown?"

"Haha, it just happens to be in Yinzhou!"

“... Okay, let's think it's a trip, Pear, together?"

“...”
