Chapter 5: Invite Wu Jinghe to launch the press conference
According to the previous agreement, except for the candidates drawn up by Tang Yiyi for the leading actors, the rest will be handed over to the floral department.
As for why Bai Yishou was able to win the role of the supporting actress, Tang Yiyi didn't ask, and he didn't bother to ask.
Anyway, after the two cooperate this time, it is estimated that there will be no intersection in the future.
At first, I just wanted to find a gun rack.
After leaving Floriculture, Tang Yiyi flew to HK non-stop.
Since Andy rejected the role of Mike, Tang Yiyi hit Wu Jing with the idea.
This time I went to HK, I also hoped to be able to move Wu Jing to play the role of Mike.
Even if you can't, you have to make friends with him.
After all, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" in the future is 5.6 billion, and Tang Yiyi will not let it go!
After coming to HK, according to the previous agreement, Tang Yiyi came to a private restaurant.
This restaurant is very famous in Hong Kong, mainly because of the style and high style.
When meeting Wu Jing for the first time, Tang Yiyi still hoped to let the other party see his sincerity.
It didn't take long for the door to open in the private room.
The person who came was Wu Jing.
"Brother Jing, sit. Tang Yiyi hurriedly stood up and greeted.
"Whatever you want to eat, you're welcome. Tang Yiyi said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay. Wu Jing waved his hand and said.
Wu Jing in this time period is actually not very good.
The reason why he came to HK to develop is because there are not many people in the mainland who make action movies.
But when he came to HK, he realized that it was not so easy to mix.
First of all, he is a mainlander, and HK's discrimination against mainlanders is very great.
Not to mention the entertainment industry.
People can't even praise their own artists, how can they praise you as a mainlander?
Just this alone, everything he has experienced in HK over the years can be imagined.
Before Wolf Warrior, apart from the killer in "Slaying the Wolf", where else have you heard the name Wu Jing?
I can't help it, I can only say that I was born at the wrong time...
Otherwise, he would not have told reporters when "Wolf Warrior" was released that he just wanted to make his own words popular.
Although you could see the smile on Wu Jing's face when facing the camera at that time, the sadness in his heart can be imagined.
"Brother Jing, you must know the purpose of my visit this time, this is the script, you can read it first. While speaking, Tang Yiyi took out the script that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Wu Jing.
Wu Jing took the script and began to look down, and didn't speak for a long time.
Tang Yiyi was not in a hurry, lit a cigarette and began to smoke.
Anyway, he is sure that he can persuade Wu Jing to act, and there is a lot of time, so he is not in a hurry at this time.
After a long time, Wu Jing finally put down the script and looked up at Tang Yiyi.
"What's the matter, Brother Jing, my script is okay, right?"
"You're a multi-line narrative structure?"
"Would you like to join?"
Although he was a little surprised that Wu Jing still knew multi-line narratives, Tang Yiyi hurriedly asked.
"Joining can be, but I have one condition..."
"Every time I say one condition, I will agree to ten!" Tang Yiyi hurriedly said.
"You haven't even listened to me, so you are in such a hurry to agree, don't you afraid that I will cheat you." Wu Jing teased with a smile.
"How can that, I believe that Brother Jing is not such a person. Tang Yiyi also said happily.
"The salary will be given according to the market price, the condition I said is that I want to learn from your crew, and it is best for me to practice as an assistant director. ”
"Oh, Brother Jing, are you going to be a director and make a movie yourself?"
"I have this idea, I can't help it, no one can support it, I can only praise myself. ”
"Action movie?"
"Of course, I don't know anything but action movies. Wu Jing said.
"Okay, that's it. Brother Jing, if you want to make a movie in the future and lack money, call me, and I will invest in you, as much as you want!" Tang Yiyi patted his chest and said.
So the matter was settled.
When the business was over, the two began to chat.
In fact, Wu Jing was quite happy.
After all, he was far away from home, and he finally met a mainlander, and he was still very close to Tang Yiyi in his heart.
After the meal, Wu Jing left.
Tang Yiyi also rested in the hotel for one night, and then rushed back to the capital the next day, and then flew to Wudu.
Fog is a good place.
In his previous life, Tang Yiyi stayed in this place for a while, but he still didn't like Chongqing noodles a little, and he always felt that he couldn't get used to eating them.
In fact, many directors like to come to Wudu to shoot movies.
For example, "Hot Pot Hero", "Rizhao Mountain City", "Passing by Your World" and so on.
And "Crazy Stone" was also filmed here in the previous life.
The most important point.
The leaders of Wudu have been committed to creating a culture that belongs to the mountain city.
So after they knew that "Crazy Stone" was going to be established in Shancheng, they immediately said that all expenses during the filming were free, and they would also give a shooting fund of 3 million.
But Tang Yiyi knew that the reason why people did this was mainly because of Uncle Ge's face.
is still the same sentence, Uncle Ge's appeal and fan base are too big...
According to tradition, the crew will have a start-up press conference before filming.
"Crazy Stone" is certainly no exception.
In the afternoon, inside the hotel.
There are less than five minutes left until the launch event.
Tang Yiyi couldn't help but smile when he looked at Wang Bo and the others' nervous looks.
"It's okay, don't be too nervous, just keep smiling when you go on stage. Uncle Ge, Master Feng, the two of you are affected. I guess the focus of these reporters is on you, so bear more..."
Uncle Ge waved his hand, signaling that it was nothing, and the wind pants also nodded.
For this kind of scene, the two are already familiar with the road.
Five minutes later, after an awkward chat from the host, Tang Yiyi took a group of creators to appear at the start-up press conference.
Sure enough, a group of reporters "clicked" the cameras on the main creators on the stage.
But the focus is basically on Uncle Ge and wind pants.
But it's normal.
After all, the rest of them haven't been much famous so far...
"Hello everyone, I am Tang Yiyi, and I am the director of this movie. I'm very happy to have you invited you to the launch event of our "Crazy Stone", if you have any questions, you can ask as many questions as you like..."Tang Yiyi said with a microphone.
As soon as he finished speaking, the reporters below couldn't wait to raise their hands and ask questions.
"Director Tang, I want to ask why you suddenly want to be a director?"
I'll go...
Ask such a non-level question?
Tang Yiyi took the microphone and said with a smile.
"It's not sudden, being a director has always been my dream. I love movies because I'm a writer myself, so I always have a lot of ideas and stories in my head. I want to present these stories to everyone and to my fans. But I knew that I wasn't good enough, so after graduating from my bachelor's degree, I went on to graduate school in directing. And I have been studying with the wind director for many years, and this movie can be regarded as an exam for my own study over the years. ”
"Director Tang, what is the main story of this movie?"
"It mainly tells a series of stories about three groups of people who are working for a jade, and it is a black humor comedy movie. And I used a multi-line narrative structure to present this movie, and when the movie is released, I promise that I will not disappoint everyone!"
"Multi-line narrative structure?Director Tang, do you mean it will be presented in the same way as "Pulp Fiction"?"
"Yes, that's right! This is a multi-line narrative film with our Chinese flavor!"
"But Director Tang, I remember that someone seemed to have borrowed this method to shoot movies before, but they all seemed to fail, are you so confident?"
"I've read the script of Don Jr.'s movie, and it's very good. A winner who won the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at the Berlin Film Festival at a young age, I believe in his level and in his ability. So, when he said he wanted me to be a producer, I agreed without hesitation. It's not because he's my apprentice, but I believe he has the strength!"
It was wind pants that spoke.
Also, it is much better for outsiders to answer this kind of question than for Tang Yiyi to answer it himself.
After all, the Chinese people are still very humble in their bones, and if he is allowed to answer by himself, there will always be a suspicion of boasting.
However, after the wind pants finished speaking, the reporters in the audience suddenly remembered.
On stage, Tang Yiyi is not only a writer, but also the winner of the Golden Bear Award for Best Short Film a few years ago!
Damn! I almost forgot!
