Chapter 281: Yuan Xiang's Vision
The entertainment industry is a magical circle, and often you turn your head and find that when you meet a person who has a plain taste, there is a little bit of a relationship, just like Er Dongsheng.
He is a friend of Ah Guan, Zhang Manyu's ex-boyfriend, Zhou Bai has just finished his cooperation with Zhang Manyu, and the director of the last movie is Guan Jingpeng, so you see that sometimes the relationship is so wonderful, I have never seen two people who are not even born in the same era with very different backgrounds get involved, and now they are still cooperating.
Er Dongsheng is a very elegant person, he is also very gentle in speaking, versatile, and knows a lot of things, not only can act, but also direct, from the martial arts niche of Shaw Brothers Film Company, and later successfully transformed into a screenwriter and director, he is also an amateur racing driver, won the championship, and can also serve as an F1 car commentator for TV stations.
Er Dongsheng also has two half-brothers, both of whom are not simple characters, the eldest brother is called Qin Pei, and the second brother Jiang Dawei, they are the three famous brothers in the Xiangjiang film industry.
Mainland audiences may not be particularly familiar with Jiang Dawei, but he was a popular student in the Xiangjiang film industry in the 70s, one of the queen actors of director Zhang Che, and also a figure who integrates multiple functions of actor, director, martial arts instructor and screenwriter, one of the founders of the Xiangjiang Directors Association, won the Best Actor at the Asian Film Festival, and has a wide range of contacts in Xiangjiang.
As for Er Dongsheng's eldest brother Qin Pei, then more people know him, the gambling king Hongguang in the star movie "The Saint of Gambling", and Wu Sangui in "Lu Ding Ji II Shenlong Sect" always knows, right? has been in the film for more than 50 years, has participated in more than 300 movies, more than 2,000 hours of TV series, and has always been active in the film industry, which can be said to be an old actor and evergreen in the entertainment industry.
"Director Xiaobao, can you call it that, right? I can say that I have admired you for a long time, and this time I finally have the opportunity to work together, I hope we can make a good movie. Zhou Bai said with a smile after seeing Er Dongsheng, Er Dongsheng came early, and the other actors had not yet arrived.
On the set of the "Hero" crew, Zhou Bai also revealed to Zhang Manyu that he might invite Er Dongsheng to be the director of the new movie, but Zhang Manyu didn't show anything unusual at that time, and his evaluation of Er Dongsheng was not bad, maybe their previous relationship had already disappeared with everyone's own chances.
"No problem, the script you wrote is very good, I was very excited when I saw this story, and I decided that I would participate in the production of this film no matter what, and the things expressed in it are so suitable for my heart, we will definitely make a good movie. Er Dongsheng said happily, looking at Zhou Bai's eyes lit up.
"The conditions here are simple, I hope Director Xiaobao will take care of you when the time comes, we have to film in the ice and snow, and we will face a lot of difficulties, if you have any needs, you can tell us, and you will try to coordinate. Zhou Bai was also very happy, Er Dongsheng's expression was not like pretending, he really liked the script of "Painless Love".
"No problem, I've been resting for two years, but I don't want to film because I haven't met a suitable script, and I used to work hard when I was filming in Xiangjiang, and I often stayed up late to catch up with the schedule, I believe I can adapt this time." Er Dongsheng nodded, and couldn't help but sigh a little when he mentioned the previous filming.
I have to say that even if many people have a lot of things on the side of Xiangjiang, they can't help but admit that it is precisely because of the special geographical location of Xiangjiang that a large number of talented professionals who can endure hardships have been bred, and even most of them are all-rounders and have strong adaptability.
"I'm embarrassed to say it, "Hero" is not finished there, and I can't find time to meet with Director Xiaobao, I think I am the latest person in the crew, right?" Zhou Bai said embarrassedly, as the actor, it was quite helpless to meet the director a month before the start of filming.
"I can understand, you are an actor, you would rather postpone the time and shoot the previous scene first, this choice is very right, rolling the scene is a very bad phenomenon, emotions are very important, I think it's very good to finish what you need to do before doing another thing. Er Dongsheng didn't have any opinions, but agreed with Zhou Bai's approach.
"Director Xiaobao doesn't like the drama very much?" asked Zhou Bai.
"Yes, I think it is an unprofessional performance, you must know that actors need to enter the emotions, if you are not ready to adjust your entry, this is a lack of professional ethics, so I don't like the situation of Xiangjiang actors filming many dramas at the same time in the past, I hope there will be no more such situations this time. Er Dongsheng nodded and said, his attitude clear.
"Well, I also hope so, for the quality of the film must be strict, the relevant contract has already been required, and it will be explained at the briefing meeting of the waiting meeting. Zhou Bai has no objection to Er Dongsheng's request, he doesn't like to play dramas, so he has already made provisions in the contract.
In order to win the role of Xiao Qi in "Painless Lovelorn" this time, Fan Bingbing gritted her teeth and pushed a TV series and a small supporting role movie, just to leave a schedule, which is like cutting meat for her, it can be seen that she has made up her mind, and Fan Bingbing has left enough schedules, so there will be no problem for others.
Don't look at Fan Xiaopang's coffee position now, but there is really a lot of work, after signing Huayi, she has not rested for a whole year, either in the crew or on the way to the crew, she has taken on N TV series and movies a year, although many of them are supporting roles, but with commercial performances or something, she is really busy.
"Director Er is good, Sister Yuan is good, Brother Bai is good. As soon as she thought of Fan Bingbing, she appeared, and greeted her warmly as soon as she entered the office, with a very low attitude.
"Hello Bingbing, I heard Sister Yu talk about you before, saying that you worked very hard when you played "Xiao Li Flying Knife", and asked her a lot of questions, and she was scared, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future. Zhou Bai looked at Fan Bingbing and said with a smile.
Zhou Bai shook hands with Fan Bingbing, Yuan Yu and Er Dongsheng had met Fan Bingbing several times before, during auditions, when discussing the script, etc.
The current Fan Bingbing's appearance is still a little green, and his dress is not so exquisite, but there is already a faint shadow of the glamorous and moving in the future, after looking at Fan Bingbing a few times, Zhou Bai has to admit that Fan Bingbing is really beautiful, and under such conditions, it is difficult not to be popular.
Fan Bingbing has cooperated with Yu Feihong before, playing the maid Xing'er of the Amazing Fairy, and the Amazing Fairy is precisely Yu Feihong's classic role, and the two have established a friendship in the crew.
At that time, Yu Feihong was more of a big sister looking at a little sister to Fan Bingbing, thinking that this girl could endure hardships and was willing to work hard, and she had a very good impression, and she would occasionally talk about Fan Bingbing when talking about the crew's interesting conversations.
"Thank you, Brother Bai. "Fan Bingbing behaved very well-behaved, too, now she is just Fan Xiaopang, not the queen's fully evolved Fan Ye.
After chatting for a while, Gong Li, Feng Yuanzheng, Zhang Jiayi, Feng Shaofeng, Bao Lei, Duan Yihong, Gao Hu, Miao Creeping and others also arrived one by one, making the originally empty office a little crowded all of a sudden.
These people, except for Gong Li, who was picked by Zhou Bai, and Fan Bingbing, who was pushed by Hua Yi, all the others were auditioned by Yuan Yu and Er Dongsheng and then decided, and even Feng Yuanzheng came over after sending an audition invitation, and then signed a contract.
Zhou Bai looked at the actors selected by Yuan Xiang, and could only sigh in his heart that Yuan Xiang's vision is indeed good enough, in the future, these people are all actors who have a place in the entertainment industry, and there is no one who can pick out all these actors at one time.
