Xiangjiang, a magical territory within China, enjoys a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign and defense affairs, and is the world's third largest financial center after New York and London.

During the special period in China, a large number of talents in the film and television industry went south to enter this free port, which once created a golden age of Xiangjiang films: at that time, as long as you are willing to invest money to make movies, it is completely profitable. At the same time, driven by interests, Xiangjiang films at that time were known for being fast - now it is already an appalling degree of filming like Du An, which releases two films in a year and a half, produces one, and then announces a film plan, but in Xiangjiang in the golden age, movies that are completed in a week and released in a month abound.

However, the current Xiangjiang movies have declined, far less than the mainland, the reasons are complicated, and Du An's heart is not enough to investigate deeply, after all, he is not here to save Xiangjiang movies, he is just looking for his own actor.

Ling Fei set him a plane in the morning, and it was already noon when he got off the plane.

He was worried that he would be recognized, and he was ready to put on the mask and sunglasses in his hand, but when he got off the plane, he realized that he was thinking too much.

Unlike the situation when he was recognized anytime and anywhere on the streets of Nanyang without pretending, and then the crowd surrounded him, after getting off the plane, he was now looked at him curiously at most, and there was no superfluous action.

Also, he is just a new second-tier director, after all, he is a behind-the-scenes person, and he is not a big star, the only thing that can leave an impression on the audience is the role of Chamberlain in "Pretty Woman", and now "Pretty Woman" has been out of gear for almost half a year, and the film and television industry is a place with a very fast metabolism, in this distant place, it is already very good for someone to look at him curiously.

So Duane happily put all the camouflage tools into his bag, hummed a little song and walked out, and pulled his clothes twice - he knew that the temperature in Xiangjiang was high. So I came here wearing only a sweater, but I didn't expect to underestimate the high temperature here, and it feels a little hot.

It's November, but it feels like the temperature here is still around 20 degrees.

Walk while pulling your clothes. It didn't take long for him to see the man Shu Yu had arranged to pick him up.

It was a fat man in a suit, looking quite festive, holding up a sign with a white background with two large characters written "Duane" in bright red pens. It's a bit of a bloody feeling.

"Director Duando, Jieli!"

The fat man was behind him, holding the sign in one hand and waving it at him with the other.

Probably because the word "director" was a bit harsh, and some people around looked at it, but when they saw Duan's strange appearance, they couldn't connect with any director on the island, so they turned their heads and ignored it.

Du An walked over quickly, and the two chatted for a few words, knowing that this person's name was Wu Yaozu, and although his Mandarin was a little awkward, it was generally okay. That's why Shu Yu arranged for him to receive him.

After the two got out of the airport, Du An thought that Wu Yaozu would drive him to the place where he stayed, but he didn't expect this fat man to take him to a taxi very skillfully.

"You...... Don't have a car?"

Now that the mainland has begun to gradually popularize cars, Xiangjiang is so reachable, I heard that the per capita income is more than ten times that of the mainland, and Xiangjiang is one, there are no tariffs on imports, and the price of cars is much cheaper than that in the mainland, how can you not afford to buy a car?

Probably because the fat man was afraid of the heat, Wu Yaozu took out a towel and wiped his sweat. Then he turned his head from the co-pilot and said with a smile: "I can afford it, but I can't afford it, I have to pay a lot of taxes and fees, and the price of oil is so high." Driving is not environmentally friendly, so it is better to take a taxi. Obviously, it was not the first time he had received guests from the mainland, and he immediately knew what Duane had to say.

"Oh,"

Duane nodded knowingly, and then heard the driver in the driver's seat say something, in Cantonese. He didn't understand at all, so he asked Wu Yaozu, "Is he talking to me?"

He observed that Wu Yaozu's face was slightly embarrassed, and then he smiled again, and said, "No, he is saying that the weather is so hot today." ”

Apparently not, probably some kind of swear word.

Duane smiled and replied in the direction of the driver: "Little cannon." ”

Wu Yaozu was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what he said at all, "What did you say?"

"I said it was really hot. ”

Duane explained without changing his face. c

Wu Yaozu also knew that Du An probably guessed what the driver said, and this was fighting back, so his face was even more embarrassed, he smiled, turned his head, and stopped talking.

Duane sat back in his chair, turned his head to look out the window, and was silent for a long time.

Wu Yao's ancestor took him to settle lunch, and then sent him to the hotel where he was staying.

The hotel Shu Yu arranged for him was the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and he got a suite. After sending him here, Wu Yaozu left the phone and left first, saying that he had something to call him.

This suite is quite big and very luxurious, after Du An's visit, he talked to Zhou Yan on the phone, planning to ask him to have dinner, and talk about things by the way, but he didn't expect the other party to be more eager than him, and directly asked his room, planning to come to visit, which made Du Yin suddenly feel that things had taken a turn - he was finally moved by his script and sincerity?

So he couldn't sit still, and repeated the words that he was going to use to persuade in his head over and over again, trying to win it in one fell swoop.

By about three o'clock in the afternoon, the doorbell rang.

Du An's past opened the door, and when he saw Zhou Yan standing outside the door, with a bag in his hand, he was alone, and there was no assistant by his side.

"Hello, brother,"

Du An's smile stretched out his hand, "I came to Xiangjiang to find you and let you visit, I'm really sorry." ”

The 49-year-old actor looks a little older than in the movies.

Zhou Yan also stretched out his hand and shook it with him, with a smile on his face, and a mouthful of big white teeth were exposed, "Monkey Monkey." "Mandarin is worse than Wu Yaozu, but the people of Xiangjiang can understand it, as long as they can understand it.

welcomed Zhou Yan in, and then it was reflected that Shu Yu had the advantage of booking a suite-there was a reception area outside. The two sat down on the sand, and after a few pleasantries, Duane cut to the chase.

"The actor in this movie is really suitable for you, and after thinking about it, I think it really has to be you. You should have read the script I gave you, brother?" He continued: "The dramatic tension of this character is particularly strong, and there is a lot of room for movement. I'm also an actor, and I starred in "Pretty Woman", so I understand. For an actor, sometimes we save for a role, and I think Wang Ming is the ...... for this role."

He obviously hated acting a few days ago, but now he shamelessly considers himself an actor.

But as he spoke, he felt that something was wrong: Zhou Yan just smiled. From his eyes, Duane saw nothing but calm.

It stands to reason that he took the initiative to visit, shouldn't it be this love?

Duane stopped.

When he stopped, Zhou Yan smiled apologetically and said: "Director Duan, it is really admirable that you are so young and promising, and your sincerity is also very touching to me, especially the character analysis, you also deliberately wrote it in traditional Chinese." Really very attentive. (In order to read smoothly, Hong Kong-style Mandarin will not be translated, as long as everyone understands)

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Du Anxin sounded: This is the standard rhythm of being very moved and then refusing!

"But after so many years of acting, I also want to give myself a long vacation to rest. ”

Really.

Why take a long vacation, Duane knows that this is just an excuse to make his face less ugly: Is it difficult for people to tell you clearly, "I don't want to act"?

Duane refused to give up, and continued to stalk like a kraft candy, so that he could talk and spit around. But Zhou Yan always smiled and did not agree.

In the end, Duane had no choice but to give up.

It seems that Zhou Yan's determination is very firm, and he can't move the other party. So he didn't dwell on it anymore, and the two chatted casually again. Zhou Yan took his leave and left.

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I hope to cooperate. ”

These were the last words left by Zhou Yan before leaving.

After sending Zhou Yan away, Du Yin returned to the sand and sat down, there was a notebook and a few pieces of paper on the coffee table in front of him, which were the things he had sent to Zhou Yan before. Zhou Yan came over this time and brought it back to him.

Du Ane picked up the pieces of paper and shook them, and said to himself: "This kind of old-fashioned trick is really not reliable...... "Think about it, if Zhou Yan wants to make a film, which top director can't he find?

The reason why he is willing to meet is probably for the sake of him coming all the way to Xiangjiang, to give him a face and get to know him.

He shook his head and put the paper back down.

It seems that we have to find someone again.

After putting down the burden of work, Du An's body was relaxed, and he didn't think about the choice of the actor for the time being, and in the next few days, he was accompanied by Wu Yaozu and played Xiangjiang roughly, and finally went to Tsim Sha Tsui to buy something to take back to relatives and friends, and ended the trip to Xiangjiang.

He took the plane back to Nanyang in the evening of the same day, and when he went there his hands were empty, he came back with a small suitcase full of gifts.

Because Su Jin also lived in him, he pulled the box and went directly back to the residence of the Jinling Palace.

The elevator door opened, he pulled the suitcase out, turned right, reached into his trouser pocket with one hand and was about to take out the key to open the door, but suddenly he was full of excitement and his movements were stagnant.

The aisle light in Jinling Wangfu is voice-controlled, and the light was turned on when he came out just now, so you can see a person sitting on the side of his door, his head hanging down, sitting quietly, silently, like a ghost.

No wonder he was taken aback.

Hearing Duane's movement, the man looked up.

I saw that this person looked like he was in his thirties and close to forty, he was a man, very old-fashioned middle type, his head was quite long, and he was past his ears, it was the kind of rock and roll style that was popular eleven or twelve years ago. Looking at the contours of this person's face, he can see that he was quite handsome when he was young, and of course, he can also be called a handsome middle-aged man now.

"Director Du?"

The man slowly stood up, and he could see that he was wearing a pair of jeans and a denim jacket, all of which were quite old.

Duane looked at him quietly and asked, "Who are you?"

Then I saw this man and said, "My name is Jia Hongsheng, and I am an actor." (To be continued.) )
