Chapter 52 Musical, Literary Films
The waiter paid the bill, and as soon as a few people finished eating, Aoki waved his hand.
"Hello sir, a total of 5807 was consumed. ”
He was a little stunned, is it so expensive to eat a meal of seafood?
"Sir, this is the invoice, thank you for your patronage and welcome to the next visit. ”
After going out, Fan Xuan smiled beside her: "Brother Mu.... You really laughed at me, didn't you just eat your meal? You were so personable before eating, how did you become like this now? ”
"Bankrupt, bankrupt my little coffers...."
Morning.
He slept at home by himself and was comfortable.
It was almost ten o'clock when a strange phone call came.
"Hey. Aoki was a little confused.
"Hello, may I ask if it's Aoki-sensei?" was a man's voice on the other side, and his voice was very magnetic. "My name is Zhang Jinming, you may not know me, I also got your contact information from Shen Xueyao, I took the liberty of bothering, I said straight to the point, we have a movie we want you to star."
The phone call he asked for from Shen Xueyao, the movie, and his own starring role? He was a little puzzled.
Aoki later learned that this Zhang Jinming is a famous genius literary film director in China, and has won many awards at home and abroad, this time he contacted Shen Xueyao to explain the situation, but Aoki herself has never acted, so she can't be the master, so she directly gave him Aoki's contact information and asked him to ask himself.
"Do you have time now?" asked Zhang Jinming
"There is time, rest today. "I recorded a song for a day yesterday, and my voice was too loaded, so I'm resting at home today.
"It's not clear on the phone, let's meet and talk about it, where is your address? I'll arrange a car to pick you up? I've read a lot of news about you lately, and I've heard that you're working on a new album recently, so I'll call and ask first, I'm afraid you won't have time." ”
Aoki picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, "No need, you can give me the address, I'll just come by myself." ”
"Okay, then wait for you, meet and talk. Zhang Jinming hung up the phone after speaking.
Aoki, who put down the phone, is still confused, he is a singer, and if he wants to say that acting, he recently made a cameo appearance in "Yanjing Youth", which is similar to a group performance, how did he find himself?
"Leng Feng, pick me up downstairs, I'm going out to talk about something. ”
About twenty minutes later, Leng Feng called Aoki and said that he was already downstairs.
"Brother Mu, where are you going?"
He took his phone to Leng Feng and said, "This address." The address on the phone is the address sent to him by Zhang Jinming.
When I came to a high-end café, I just got out of the car and saw a young man walking towards him, tall and thin, with fair skin and a bit like a mixed race, and exuding a temperament all over his body.
"Mr. Aoki, the first time I met was Zhang Jinming. He held out his hand and greeted Aoki with a smile.
"Hello, I didn't expect you to be so young. Before they met, he thought that the other party might be a middle-aged or elderly person, but he didn't expect this famous Chinese literary film director to be so young.
"Come, let's go upstairs first, and talk as we go. Aoki walked to the elevator with him and said with some doubts: "How did Director Zhang find me? ”
Zhang Jinming didn't answer and just looked at himself with a smile, which made Aoki get goosebumps, this look... Don't want to?
Bite... The elevator arrived.
The two walked into a large private room, and a beautiful woman was already sitting in the private room.
"Let me introduce you, this is the investor of this film, Ms. Ningxia. ”
Ningxia also looked at Aoki and said with a smile: "Aoki meets for the first time, hello, your recent songs are very good, I like it very much" She exuded an elegant temperament all over her body.
Aoki stretched out his hand and smiled softly: "Hello, Sister Ning, fortunately." Although he still didn't understand the situation, he still shook hands politely with the other party.
"Mr. Aoki, let's sit down and talk. Zhang Jinming beckoned Aoki to sit down.
"I'm a few years younger than you, so I'll call you Brother Mu when I don't see you, this time we planned a movie, and Sister Ning and I felt that it was very suitable for you after reading the script, so I took the liberty to make an appointment with you. With that, he took out the script from his bag and handed it to Aoki.
Aoki took a look, and he now knew why the other party found him, because this was a musical film "I'm Crazy for Song".
He flipped through the script carefully, and the two people in the room didn't speak, looking at him quietly.
This movie mainly tells the story that the protagonist Holly is a child born with autism, his childhood was gray and had no friends, and his father also beat him every time he got drunk because of his perennial alcoholism. Later, by chance he heard the sound of the guitar, and since then he has fallen in love with music, and at the age of eighteen, his father, who was often drunk, suddenly quit drinking and bought him his first guitar, and since then he will practice every day, and a smile gradually appears on his face. But that summer his father left him due to illness, which hit him hard, and he began to study medicine according to his father's last wish... I thought that his life would be like this, and he happened to participate in a singing competition... Began his musical life.
He mainly plays the adult Holly in the play, from the age of eighteen to his 30s, with a large age span.
After Aoki put down the script, Zhang Jinming explained: "Yes, we sincerely invite you to participate in the performance of the film, which is a win-win situation, and it can also make your songs more popular." ”
That's right, in addition to starring in this drama, he also has to undertake the creation of film music, this drama is indeed very suitable for himself, Zhang Jinming is also right, this is a win-win situation.
"I don't know when filming will start for this drama, because recently you should also know that I am working on a new album, and at the same time, Strawberry Channel's "Dad and Child" is about to start filming, I don't know if the schedule can be right. ”
Zhang Jinming was very happy to see Aoki's intention, "Brother Mu can rest assured that the film is still in the early stages of preparation, and there are still many things to be completed, about 2 months later." ”
Aoki thought about it and said after two months, "Then I think we should be able to cooperate, but Director Zhang, I really haven't acted, you have to know this." ”
"It's okay, our movie doesn't need actors to have too much acting skills or just haven't acted. ”
This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to use Aoki as the starring role, literary films are not the same as commercial films, most of the directors of literary films have their own ideas, and the content told is relatively esoteric or incompatible with the market.
If the protagonist of this drama invites professional actors, in his opinion, it is not possible, on the one hand, professional actors don't have that feeling, and there are not many people in the circle of second-actor actors who understand music, so he screened from the singer and finally found Aoki.
"Then it's settled, you can contact my agent about the contract at that time. ”
"Happy to work with"
"Happy to work with".
