Chapter 141: Confrontation on the phone

Zhou Gongzi was very unhappy, very angry in his heart, before coming to Nandaihe to shoot "When the Flowers Bloomed", she had communicated with Li Shaohong, and also told her in advance about this movie, from December to January, she stayed all in order to shoot "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss".

After Zhou Bai wrote the script, he sent a copy to Zhou Gongzi, and when he invited her to film, he gave Rong Xinda a copy, according to reason, Li Shaohong must be able to see the script, and now Zhou Gongzi's development momentum is good, but it has not become popular yet, and the movie script in his hand can be counted.

"Sister, I really like this script, people specially adjusted the filming period for me before, and I also communicated with you before I left, why haven't I replied to anyone at this time?" Zhou Xun took a deep breath and asked on the phone.

"Brother Xun, don't worry, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not very optimistic about this movie, it won't help you much, I have invitations to TV series such as "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" and "Yuanlai Family" in my hand, although they are all female supporting roles, but if you can play it well, there may not be no hope of becoming popular, and next year's "Daming Palace Ci" will be released, you should know this drama in your heart. Li Shaohong explained with a smile.

In fact, Zhou Xun could have signed a contract with Zhou Bai first and then discussed with Li Shaohong, but Zhou Xun really respected Li Shaohong, treated him like a sister, and didn't want to make the scene ugly.

"Sister, I have always participated in this movie from the birth of the script idea to the completion of the script, I really like this book, and there is a lot of room for play in it, I have to act. Zhou Xun said.

"Brother Xun, don't be so stubborn, do you know who starred in "Yuanlai Family"? Xiangjiang's star, urban fashion TV series, has a great chance to become popular, this is the first modern fashion drama of that female star, your role is very heavy, and the harvest is definitely better than Na Laoshizi's "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss". Li Shaohong sighed and said bitterly.

"Sister, I'm serious to tell you, I now prefer to act in a movie, this movie has a heavier role, and the space for play is much higher than the TV series, I don't want to take the road of TV series, you told me before, the TV series is just a good shot, so "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss" is also a movie, why can't you watch it." Zhou Xun was stunned and said insistently.

"Of course I can't like it, the director is a newcomer, the first time to guide, the risk is too great, the investment is not high, the exposure rate brought to you is too low, the screenwriter of this movie is still the actor named Zhou Bai, I took a look at it casually, it is all chattering dialogue, there is no violent conflict, and it is in vain to shoot. Li Shaohong said, in fact, she just took a cursory casual look at the script, and didn't pay much attention to it at all.

"Sister, whether you like it or not, I have promised to do this before, and I must shoot it. Zhou Xun gritted his teeth and said, his eyes were firm, even Li Shaohong on the other end of the phone could hear the determination in her words.

"Why are you so stubborn, did they go to find you? They have a good calculation, knowing that I ignored them, but instead did your work, just such a pheasant crew, it is completely ruined. Li Shaohong is very angry, she has controlled Hai Yan for many years, and she has developed her kind of temperament with eyes above the top.

In fact, it is not that Li Shaohong's appreciation ability is problematic, how to say that she is also from the director department of Beijing Film, and has also made pioneering movies such as "Silver Snake Murder", but preconceived ideas are dominant, so that her heart has crossed "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss" first, and the script is flipped over at will and thrown aside without reading.

The more Zhou Xun tried to persuade her, the more she resisted in her heart, in her opinion, Zhou Bai's gang went to Zhou Xun to increase pressure on her through Zhou Xun, this kind of little trick she Li Shaohong could see through at a glance.

In the end, the two of them quarreled directly on the phone, and each was at a stalemate, and no one could convince anyone.

When Zhou Xun was busy arguing with Li Shaohong on the phone, he patted her shoulder with one hand, and when she looked back, Zhou Bai was already standing behind her, and at this time Zhou Xun had to cover one side of the phone and stare at him with big eyes.

"Seeing that you have been on the phone for so long, I thought that the communication should not be smooth, so I came to take a look, don't worry, I am not here to eavesdrop. If you don't mind, let me talk to Sister Shao Hong, don't be angry with her, it's just that everyone has different opinions, what a big deal. Zhou Bai said with a smile.

"Sister, Zhou Bai is here, he wants to talk to you, okay?" Zhou interrogated for a while, and after a few seconds, he handed the phone to Zhou Bai.

"Hello Sister Shaohong, I'm Zhou Bai, I'm sorry that I didn't make you quarrel with Zhou Xun because of this, and I hope I don't make you feel guilty because of this, otherwise I will be guilty. Zhou Bai didn't have the idea of taking the lead at all, but apologized first, in fact, he really didn't mean to provoke the relationship between Zhou Gongzi and Li Shaohong, but he asked their company several times, Li Shaohong has been vague on his side, and then he didn't refuse to accept it, so he hung it out.

"Don't, I can't afford it, hmph, I know very well what you're thinking, don't you just think that I may not be able to get through here, and I want to get through the relationship on Brother Xun'er's side?" Li Shaohong said with a sneer.

"It seems that Sister Shao Hong has a lot of misunderstanding about me, blame me for being young and inexperienced, and I came to visit the crew without thinking about it, I apologize again for the inconvenience caused to you, but Sister Shao Hong I don't know anything now, how much is Zhou Xun's recent movie invitation, or is the salary of 200,000 yuan that your company thinks is low, or is there other reason that makes you feel that she is not suitable for this play?" Zhou Bai was not angry, and still said with a smile.

"I'll tell you straight, I'm not optimistic about your movie at all, the director is still a newcomer, making a movie is not such a simple thing, I advise you to practice for a few more years, first figure out what the movie is going on. "Li Shaohong's personality itself is very fierce, she just quarreled with Zhou Xun, and now she is very angry.

"So that's the case, I can understand Sister Shao Hong's thoughts, but with all due respect, there are a lot of new directors in recent years, before "Xiao Wu" came out, no one knew Jia Zhangke, before "Pushing Hands" came out, no one had heard of Li An, before filming "Sunny Day", Jiang Wen was also an actor, how can we conclude that we can't?" Zhou Bai said with a smile.

"Hmph, young people don't think too highly of themselves, these people you are talking about are either amazing and brilliant or have been immersed in movies for many years, these years young people are all higher than the sky, but unfortunately in the end they are silent and eliminated by time, not everyone is Jia Zhangke. Li Shaohong felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this, and felt that Zhou Bai was just an arrogant young man.

"Of course, there is only one Jia Zhangke, and I happen to know him, he is the art director of our film, and he also participated in the script writing. Zhou Bai said with a smile, Lao Jia can't be the assistant director, he is busy filming the platform, so he has to name an art director, he should care or care, the script did participate and gave a lot of opinions.

"Hmph, isn't it just a nominal position after all, I've been making movies for so many years, you don't have to tell me these things, I'm clear. Li Shaohong paused for a few seconds, and then said.

In order to make the film more convincing or credible, as well as to provide necessary guidance and help, the producer will invite authoritative figures to be film consultants, which is used as a façade, but there is no real powerful relationship, where have you heard that the art director will be responsible for the film.

"Of course, one Jia Zhangke is not enough, the producer of our film is Lou Ye, and many of the team members of the film have participated in the filming of "Suzhou River", almost half of them. Zhou Bai said calmly.

"These are all false positions, and none of them have a serious relationship," Li Shaohong was silent for a while and said slowly.

Jia Zhangke and Lou Ye, the two most brilliant directors in the sixth generation, are related to this movie, at least it shows that it is not a joke.

Filmmakers will also cherish their feathers, Lou Ye and Jia Zhangke, the two leaders of the sixth generation of directors, they are willing to have something to do with this movie, at least in terms of artistry, with the urine of these two, if the movie is a big bad movie, they will definitely not want to get involved, especially people like their sixth generation who flaunt art.

"Actually, I also know that even if Jia Zhangke and Lou Ye are not the directors of this movie, the people who want to invite Rong Xinda may not be enough, so the script director of this movie invited Huo Jianqi and his lover Su Xiaowei to check it. Zhou Bai said leisurely, and reported the names of two more people.

In the process of writing and finalizing the script, Zhou Bai has found Huo Jianqi and his wife, especially Su Xiaowei, she is a professional screenwriter, and after the finalization, Zhou Bai specially invited her to read it, and even she was very satisfied, so Zhou Bai was full of confidence in his script, and what he said to Li Shaohong was true.

"Don't forget that the director is a newcomer, and you only made a few movies before becoming a screenwriter, even if the quality of the script is good, who of you can guarantee that you will be able to shoot the movie without being out of shape and shoot it brilliantly?" Li Shaohong was silent for a longer time this time, and finally said without giving up, she hadn't read the script much, and now just listening to the names of these people knows that this is not a joke, but she Li Shaohong has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, how can she easily admit defeat.

"Alas, these people are all my friends, it is estimated that it is for the sake of my thin face, I agreed to come down, and those who want to invite Rong Xinda may not be able to move, so we invited a very experienced director senior to check our film, and the honorary consultant of our "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss", called Zhang Yimou. Zhou Bai said with a smile, not angry at all.

This can be said to be an unexpected joy, after the script is written, Zhou Bai will definitely send a copy to Lao Mouzi to ask him for guidance, after a long time there is no news, Zhou Bai still thinks that Lao Mouzi is too lazy to care, who knows that Lao Mouzi called last night and asked for the position of an honorary consultant, giving Zhou Bai a big surprise.
