Chapter 575: Changing careers to become a director
Mai Xiaoji smiled and helped Zhou Yanyan open a bottle of soda, she was annoyed, of course she didn't drink it, pushed it aside, and some water spilled out.
"Sister, I've seen your costume dramas, the advantage of this age is that you can control the youth and the elderly, you act very well......"
Zhou Yanyan interrupted Mai Xiaoji's words impatiently, and said unhappily: "Needless to say, everyone will get old, and I have not been angry in the past two years, and I have aged extremely fast." ”
"I'm not afraid of getting old, I have a secret recipe that can make my sister stay young forever. Mai Xiaoji smiled.
"I'm not here to see a doctor!"
Zhou Yanyan was even more angry, her eyes widened, but for a long time, for the sake of beauty, she didn't dare to have too many expressions, and her face looked a little stiff.
"Sister, let's say so. You came to me and wanted to change the environment, right, you didn't think about changing careers?"
"What do you mean, I'm an actor!" Zhou Yanyan was stunned.
"How many actors dare to scare Director Qi? Anyway, I've only heard you say that. Mai Xiaoji smiled.
"He, he's not perfect, this time to find the wrong activity, I saw several, but the probability of winning the lottery is too small, too lazy to operate. Zhou Yanyan said.
"Hey, some people are very diligent. For example, Guangqiang, I checked the backstage, and I was shocked, there are more than 2,000 numbers in the Qiangqiang series!"
"He's shameless, and he's idle!" Zhou Yanyan blurted out and scolded, it seems that the relationship with Guangqiang is not very good.
"Sister, if you shoot Bayan, your age is really not suitable, you should find a group of young and beautiful actors. It is precisely because you are so famous that the audience knows you, but there is no freshness. ”
"Alas, since it's Bayan, it means that there is no real protagonist, and I was disliked for retreating. ”
"My sister is her age and has a lot of experience, why don't you try another role? ”
Zhou Yanyan was suddenly petrified, didn't react for a long time, took a bottle in front of her and opened it and took a sip, but it was the fruit wine she didn't like the most.
Spit it into the trash can and wiped her mouth indiscriminately, Zhou Yanyan was stunned: "Xiaoji, you're not fooling me, are you?"
"When it came to shooting Bayan in the group, I never spit out. Because, everyone only wants to see the beauty and talent of Bayan, but what I want to highlight most is the suffering of Bayan and the harm given to them by that era. The male director doesn't fully understand women, and other people don't understand the hardships of life like their sisters, and the helplessness of the ups and downs of fate.
Mai Xiaoji was serious, and he was almost moved, Zhou Yanyan burst into tears, holding Mai Xiaoji's hand and couldn't say a word. didn't care about keeping his facial expression unchanged, and after the corners of his mouth shook violently, there was a suppressed cry released.
"Xiao Ji, in my life, it's too bitter!"
Zhou Yanyan couldn't cry, out of breath, Mai Xiaoji lent her shoulder, but it was difficult to bear the misery in her heart, it seemed that as soon as she got out of her hand, she would be crushed by the suffering of the past and spread out in her arms.
The tissues were used up one after another, the makeup was spent, and they were wiped off and washed away, and the slight pause was not an abortation, but a build-up of strength to burst into the next cry.
A plain and slightly yellowed face was washed out by tears, Mai Xiaoji had only seen a woman cry so selflessly before, crying until she broke her liver and intestines, and cried until she didn't care about it, that was Sister Fan Shan.
Zhou Yanyan's life, how many people can't ask for it, Mai Xiaoji gently patted her shoulder, let her release her inner grievances.
"I used to have no self-respect, no self-love, and I couldn't complain about others when I suffered and suffered. Only God knows how I've survived all these years, or if I don't wear makeup, no one wants to look at my face. ”
"It's a thing of the past. However, in my opinion, my sister is also good without makeup, but she needs to be conditioned. ”
"Don't just say it's nice! At my age, it's really fake, you can hear it when you hear it. ”
"But I'm the only one who says good things with snot, right?" Mai Xiaoji cried.
Zhou Yanyan was amused, and this time she laughed so much that she couldn't stop laughing, even though her stomach hurt.
After crying and laughing enough, Zhou Yanyan began to talk to Mai Xiaoji about changing careers. The actors are all half directors, and Zhou Yanyan thinks she can direct this film. It is an indisputable fact that you are old, and if you pretend to be tender again, it will disgust the audience.
Moreover, being able to be a director is definitely an unexpected joy for Zhou Yanyan, and she said that she will cherish this opportunity and make every effort to make this film well.
In this way, Qin Huai Bayan is really going to start filming, everyone is very happy, only Mai Xiaoji is secretly calculating the cost of Bayan's transmission. Alas, it's not easy to be in charge!
Afterwards, I consulted with Lu Lifeng, and she agreed with it very much. Different from the indifferent attitude towards Jiang Wenqian, Lu Lifeng and Zhou Yanyan are the same age, and they were also Yan fans when they were young, and they warmly welcomed Zhou Yanyan to join.
The rest of the group members are also, Zhou Yanyan carries the good memories of their youth, and a considerable number of group friends cherish Zhou Yanyan's well-known works. There are also people who give out red envelopes because they are excited.
Nangong Yue also followed suit and warmly welcomed Zhou Yanyan to lead the film.
"How old are you, I definitely haven't seen a few of Zhou Yanyan's films. Mai Xiaoji chatted privately and despised Nangong Yue.
"Everyone is happy, I can't be disappointed. Nangong Yue Zhenzhen has words.
If Jiang Wenqian knew about this situation, she would definitely be very angry, she took the lead for the Fengyue Boundless Group, and in their eyes, she was just an actor after all.
But Zhou Yanyan is different, she is an idol.
There is no way, an era, with the memory of an era, the existence of a generation gap is reasonable.
Zhou Yanyan officially joined Jiji Shang Film and Television Company, appearing in the form of a partner, and will be mainly a director in the future, and can make guest appearances in film and television works to bring small surprises to the audience.
Now that the selection of materials and directors have been determined, the preparation for the filming of Qin Huai Bayan has to be carried out intensively.
The script is Mai Xiaoji's, it has always been like this, everyone laughed and said that if it was written by someone else, they would have no bottom in their hearts, and the one who believed most was their dearest brother.
The woman's sweet words are incredible, not to mention the praise of ninety-nine people, Mai Xiaoji took it down, and it was too late to regret it.
Zhou Yanyan also provided a list of actors, although using these actors can save a sum of money, but after seeing the real Bayan, Mai Xiaoji always feels that there is something missing on them.
"I'll choose the actors, but the performance fee is relatively high, 20 million per person, can you accept it?" Mai Xiaoji publicly solicited opinions in the group.
"The company is not bad for money, but what actor can be worth such a high price?" Lu Lifeng questioned, there must be a few big names in the younger generation, but I can't remember so many at once.
"Because they fit the historical archetype best. In Yafeng's video, there have been three of them, everyone has seen them, and the other five are no worse than them. Mai Xiaoji affirmed.
"Haha, I don't know that Xiao Ji is secretly hiding so many people behind him? @西江月, you can watch it closely. "The voice is slow and troublesome.
"I only have one pair of eyes, and I can't see so many people. Xi Jiangyue's answer was a bit self-defeating, just the three women in the Juxian Building, who were either talented or good-looking, greatly reduced her self-confidence.
