Chapter 811: You Don't Act?
Chapter 811: You don't act?
The two-month holiday is what Jiangxia has been looking forward to for a long time.
It is only during this holiday that he can devote himself to making movies.
After the holiday, he only had two days off before going to Paramount headquarters.
Louis's new film "Mad Farm" has been on production for more than a week, and it is said that the filming is going well, and it is estimated that it will be completed within a month.
Jiang Xia can't be too far away from him, otherwise it will be fatal to miss any film festival.
On the way to Paramount, Jiang Xia called He Ying, who was far away in China.
"Director Jiang, why did you remember to call me?" He Ying said in surprise.
"What are you busy with?" Jiang Xia asked.
"I'm not busy with anything, I'm playing. I just finished filming a movie, and a month later there was a variety show as a resident guest, and I had a month's vacation, and I was playing crazy. He Ying said with a smile.
"Are you interested in coming to Los Angeles for a ride?" Jiang Xia asked.
"There must be, do you have a role for me?" He Ying guessed happily.
"There's a role, a two-minute play, do you want to come?" Jiang Xia asked.
"Yes, yes, you wait for me, and the day after tomorrow will be there. He Ying assured.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you come in a few days, you have few scenes, when will you come and shoot for you. Jiang Xia said with a smile.
"After filming early, I can still learn from you, I also want to see how horror movies are made, alas, it's a horror movie, right?" He Ying asked.
"Yes. Jiang Xia said.
"Okay, I'll book a ticket for tomorrow and get there as soon as possible. He Ying said.
"Okay, call me when you get there. Jiangxia said.
"No problem, Director Jiang will see you in two days. He Ying hung up happily.
"See you in two days. Jiang Xia also hung up the phone.
Calling He Ying was a deliberate decision by Jiang Xia.
The director of the movie "Chainsaw", James Win, is originally Chinese, so two Asian faces appear in the movie, one is a police officer Xin, who was killed by a trap, and the other is a female doctor who is dating the protagonist in a hotel.
What Jiang Xia wanted He Ying to play was this female doctor.
As for police officer Xin, Jiang Xia was ready to give Hengying a chance and let them send an actor over.
Therefore, after talking to He Ying on the phone, Jiang Xia called Cheng Xin.
"What's the matter? Hurry up, there's a meeting in three minutes. Cheng Xin said.
"I make horror films, and I have a position as an Asian actor, and I can use people from the company, under the age of 30. Jiang Xia said.
"Okay, I'll let Swallow contact you. Cheng Xin said.
With just one sentence, the two hung up the phone.
Jiangxia also arrived at Paramount's headquarters.
Here at Paramount Headquarters, I already knew that Jiang Xia was coming.
Cheng Xin's acquisition of Paramount's shares is known to the high-level management, because there are already some people from China who have participated in high-level decision-making, although there are not many, but they also have the right to speak.
After acquiring Paramount's shares, Cheng Xin's only death order for them was to give Jiang Xia the strongest support for any movie he made.
Jiang Xia's original agreement to take over the filming of "Falling 2" was infinitely magnified.
Therefore, as soon as Jiang Xia came to Paramount headquarters, he was received by a person in charge sent by Cheng Xin.
"Hello Director Jiang, I'm Xiliu. Xiliu introduced himself, "It was Mr. Cheng who arranged to be in charge of contact here, and it was the first time I had seen Jiang Dao's name for a long time." ”
"Hello, I'm Jiangxia. Jiang Xia shook hands with Xiliu.
Xiliu said: "Director Jiang, before you talk about the matter, can you take the trouble to help?"
"Well, what's the matter?" Jiang Xia asked.
Xiliu was a little embarrassed and said, "Help me sign a few names." ”
"Oh, no problem. Jiang Xia said with a smile.
Then when Xiliu led him to the two boxes of albums, his whole face turned green.
"How many are these?" Jiang Xia asked.
"Yes, yes, that's it. Xiliu said embarrassedly.
"How many boxes are you. Jiang Xia said speechlessly, "Okay, I'll sign." ”
"Thank you Director Jiang, thank you Director Jiang. Xiliu hurriedly thanked him.
Jiang Xia shook his head and began to sign autographs, the albums are all his genuine albums in China, and each album has more than a dozen copies, all of which are collector's editions, which shows that this Xiliu has indeed worked hard to prepare these albums.
"I'll sign it, and you can make a note of my request. Jiang Xia said directly.
"You say, you say. Your film, we've been looking forward to it for a long time. Xiliu said.
"I need an actor in his mid-35s, who doesn't need to be too handsome, as long as he can get by. plays a doctor with a family who values family very much. The second actor is a young man in his twenties, or a big boy. These two people are the main actors, so you need to look for them well. Jiang Xia said.
"Okay, I'll make a note of that. You should be able to give notice tomorrow, and you can arrange an audition the day after tomorrow. Xiliu said.
"Hollywood is really Hollywood. Jiang Xia said.
He also knows why, he only needs to send the request to the actors' union, and the actors will be notified to audition, so if there are no special requirements, the selection of actors to audition will be very fast.
Jiang Xia continued: "A black actor has to look like he is about forty years old, playing a police officer, so he can't be too hip-hop or too fat. A hospital nurse in his mid-thirties, a man. A housewife in her thirties, a little girl under the age of ten, a girl on drugs, a fat man, a policewoman, and the rest are group performances, which also need a part. ”
He said as he recorded the westward flow next to him.
I didn't ask why I didn't give the script, cult movies are the director's personal style, and things like scripts are not needed too much in many cases, and they are not necessarily provided to the company.
After Jiang Xia finished saying some requirements, he finally said: "The rest is the crew arrangement, I have written down the details, you go to find someone." ”
As he spoke, Jiang Xia stopped signing and took out some of the things he had prepared from his backpack.
"Director Jiang, aren't you going to participate in the show yourself?" asked Xiliu after a casual look.
Jiang Xia was stunned and asked, "Me?"
"Yes, you're not going to act?" asked Westliu, "William bet with you, for the reason everyone knows, is that he can't get used to seeing you running around all walks of life." We all do this in China, and North America is very separated, so as a director, don't you star yourself to hit them?"
When Jiang Xia heard this, he touched his chin and said, "It's not impossible, but if I am asked to play the starring role, are you sure those people will recognize me?"
"Why don't you admit it? Your fame is not low in North America, this is that you can't enter the celebrity list, if you can enter, it must be a third-tier in North America, and that funk is not in vain to stay in the champion position. Xiliu said.
