Chapter 21: Preparation
"Toronto Film Festival!"
Lei Weidong's words made everyone's eyes light up!
The movie I just watched made everyone understand that although "Ghost Shadow" was filmed in only five days, the quality is absolutely just, and if it can be released, it will definitely cause a sensation, but it is too difficult for a movie with such a theme to be released in China.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he couldn't become a master, so he sentenced this movie to death, and he could only find a way outside.
Now it seems that Lei Weidong has already figured out a way, and he understands why the heroes and heroines of "Ghost Shadow" use Westerners, that is, considering the European and American markets.
Come to think of this!
Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Bin!
I didn't expect Li Bin to play a Westerner so similarly, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, everyone would not believe that the heroine was a Chinese.
If this movie becomes popular outside, then Li Bin will soar into the sky.
"Director Lei, why is the ending in the movie different from the shooting, I remember that during the filming, the heroine was shot to death by the police at the end of the filming, how did it become a ......" Li Bin asked with some doubts.
"I'm going to use the ending you said in the videotape, and as for the movie, considering the need for a sequel, I used an open ending that works in Hollywood to leave everyone in suspense!" Lei Weidong explained.
"And a sequel?"
"Of course, as long as there is a sequel to the box office, there will definitely be a sequel, but don't think about this time now!Xiaojuan!" Lei Weidong waved his hand at Xiaojuan and motioned for her to send the prepared script.
"This is the script of "Nightclub", there are the characters you played, and their respective lines, everyone take a look at what is wrong, and if there is any, just bring it up!
Chen Xiaoer took the script, flipped through it roughly, nodded, and it was the same as the last time he saw it, only in more detail, it seems that Lei Weidong did not lie to himself, He Sanshui is the absolute protagonist of the movie, the soul of the character.
If the movie is really popular, then it will turn over.
"Zhu Liao, this is my character!" Looking at the name on the script, Xu Zheng touched his bald and translucent head, this character's experience is really similar to himself.
"One sentence, buddy is going to be on fire!"
The bitterness of the actor is exhausted!
I have graduated from drama school for several years, although I have a good reputation in the drama industry, but I am a newcomer in the film industry, it doesn't matter, it is too difficult for no one to promote and become famous.
Taxi driver! Ada flipped through the script, found a few lines, and couldn't help pouting, this is his own job, Lei Weidong will really save money.
Looking at the script in her hand, Wang Yanling smiled, this is the first time she has cooperated with Xiao Er to act, and she is also playing a happy enemy, although the proprietress in the movie is fierce, and He Sanshui can't do it!
I like it, though!
Tang Xiaolian!
Li Bin and Hook looked at the script in their hands and glanced at each other!
In the movie, the two are a couple, although it looks like it's just Li Junwei's unrequited love, but after the final farewell of life and death, the two finally became a couple.
How to grasp the relationship between the two is difficult for Li Bin and Hook.
As for Fan Bin, looking at the script in his hand with only a thin page, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, he wasn't even a supporting role, just a passer-by.
If it weren't for the fact that it was director Lei Weidong who played the nest boyfriend with him, Fan Ye would really scream.
"Master, don't wait!"
Tear up the script in his hand, twist his ass and leave.
In addition to the main actors such as Chen Xiaoer and Li Bin, Xiaojuan, Xiaohong, makeup artist Zhang Caijing and others also got a role!
After all, supermarkets need a lot of actors to come and go, so in order to save money, they have to let them go.
Of course, there are also some characters who are called by Chen Xiaoer's relationship, just like the policeman who has a lot of lines in the film is played by Chen Xiaoer's friend Li Nan.
He worked with Chen Xiaoer in Chen Xiaoer's movie "Two Sons Open a Shop", and played Xiao Zhuozi of Shufangzhai in last year's "Huanzhu Gege", which can be said to be an old drama bone.
"When will Guo Di and Brother Dasha arrive?" Looking at the two scripts left in front of him, Lei Weidong asked.
"Mr. Guo will be here in the afternoon, Brother Dasha will be here the day after tomorrow!" Xiaojuan was already accustomed to the role of receiving and running a company clerk, and when she heard Lei Weidong's question, she took out her own notes and replied.
"Time waits for no one, the Toronto Film Festival starts in September, and we have to finish filming at the end of August! Shoot other scenes first, and then make up when they arrive!" Lei Weidong said.
There is no objection to Lei Weidong's request.
Because movie shooting is never about filming after everyone arrives, it is always a few people to shoot a few people's scenes, especially some big stars, who have a tight schedule, all of which gather the scenes that need to be filmed and finish filming within a few days.
It's a little better now, the cutout technology is not good, everyone still needs to work hard to film, dangerous action stand-ins, and after ten years, the development of computer technology has led to those traffic flowers, small fresh meat.
Show your face when you make a movie, everything else is done by a stuntman, and you can just make a picture at the end.
It doesn't matter if you have acting skills or not!
"Brother Chen!" Lei Weidong looked at Chen Xiaoer and said with a smile: "The role of He Sanshui is a bit sloppy, a little different from your previous image, although they are all low-level people, He Sanshui is even lower than Chen Xiaoer's level."
In addition to the sign of his bald head, the main thing is that he is a little crazy, and of course, he has to have a sense of joy, and as soon as he appears, he makes the audience want to laugh.
I believe in you, Brother Chen, because your previous image makes the audience want to laugh when they see it. ”
"I understand the director!" Chen Xiaoer nodded and said with a solemn face,
"If it was before, I might not have been able to play a role like He Sanshui, and I could only seek the most comedy color one-sidedly, but now after a year of precipitation, I understand He Sanshui's difficulties, if I didn't have a good wife, I would probably be like him, working hard for thousands of dollars. ”
"Brother Xu!" Lei Weidong looked at Xu Zheng again, "You are older than me, I'll call you brother, the role of Zhu Liao is very suitable for you, you are his real side, talented but talented, but as long as you work hard, Zhu Liao in the movie is your future!"
"Thank you, director, I know how to do it!" Xu Zheng said excitedly while holding the script, "I will work hard to show my best." ”
"Hmm!" Lei Weidong nodded, "After I go back, I will figure out the script, of course the script is dead, people are alive, if you have better suggestions to make the content of the movie more exciting, you can put it forward, as long as it is right, I will definitely adopt it!"
