Section 524: Code X
Compared to apartments, the advantages of villas are not only the large rooms, but also some things that cannot be enjoyed in apartments, such as courtyards, swimming pools, and spacious balconies without iron fences and ceilinged glass, the kind that can look up at the starry sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Duane now stood on such a balcony, leaning back against the carved parapet, looking up at the starry sky - of course, he could not see a single star in the poor environmental conditions and light pollution of Nanyang, only the dark night sky and the lonely moon.
ββ¦β¦ You suddenly got a phone call, I'm afraid you want to ask me to make a film?"
Du An's phone was grabbed and put to his ear, and Jia Hongsheng's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Du ane smiled, didn't deny it, and said, "Isn't it, otherwise what are you looking for?"
Jia Hongsheng on the other end of the phone was slightly silent, and after a while he asked a nonsense, "Really?"
Duane asked rhetorically, "What else?"
Jia Hongsheng paused for a while before he said with a smile: "Isn't this that everyone says that you are a director who 'does nothing more than two', and no actor can stay under you for more than two films? I have filmed two dramas with you." β
Du ane knew what Jia Hongsheng said.
Some media have also studied Duane's selection of actors, and they have found a magical rule, that is, Duane is a director who likes to dig up newcomers, but at the same time he is a director who likes the new and hates the old: since Duane's debut, he has made a lot of movies, counting the four movies that can basically be regarded as Duane's works this year, there are a total of 10, but no leading actor has ever appeared more than two under his hands. More like Jia Hongsheng, that is, two starring actors, and less like Zhu Yuchen, Chen Kun, and Su Yun, all of them are starring in one film, and then there is no follow-up cooperation.
The only exception is probably Zhu Qian.
"Fart,"
Duane refuted this statement, "How many films has Zhu Qian filmed?"
Jia Hongsheng laughed and said, "So isn't it intermittent that someone always says that there is a problem between you." β
He also has a good relationship with Duane, and knows that there is really nothing between these two people, and they usually don't have much contact, so he dares to say such a sensitive topic in front of Duane.
Duane touched his nose helplessly and laughed self-deprecatingly, "In the eyes of some people, I am still a pervert." β
"How can it be called a pervert? Elegant is called infatuation......"
The two laughed for a while, and Jia Hongsheng finally pulled the topic back to the serious direction.
"What you asked me to shoot is the biggest production in history that the newspaper said in the past two days?"
Although Jia Hongsheng on the other end couldn't see it, Du An still nodded subconsciously and said "um", "It's that play, are you interested? Do you have time? In the first half of next year, it will take about two months." β
Jia Hongsheng thought for a while and said: "There is really time, and now my drama is almost over, there are a few films that are talking to me, but they are still undecided, and now I can only say goodbye to them." As for interest...... You haven't even shown me a book, I don't even know a name, I'm interested in a fart!"
In the past two years, Jia Hongsheng's life has probably been good, the economic conditions have improved, and he is obviously much more cheerful than before, which makes Du An's original decision quite proud.
How can he say that? He also saved a middle-aged man who had lost his footing and gave others a chance to start a better life again.
"But are you planning to shoot this movie secretly? It stands to reason that the book can't be covered, but you can always get the tentative name and film type, right? It's been two days, and no one can say why, so your work of secrecy is good. β
Duane smiled: "Don't talk about two days, I don't plan to release specific information until the official publicity stage." If you believe me, come on, I can't fool you, right? But there is one thing I have to explain to you in advance, although you are the leading actor in this play, it will not be brilliant, and you don't want to have a high artistic depth, and it is very possible to be scolded for a bad movie and even scold you, you have to think about this in advance. β
"It's nothing, I'm not the stunned young man I was back then, now I'll take the film and just give the money. β
Jia Hongsheng laughed self-deprecatingly, and then said: "Okay, even if I don't believe you, I have to believe in these 600 million, I will take this film, and I will go over and talk to you in detail when I am free for a while." β
"Okay, since you took it, then I won't look for anyone else, but your body is a little unqualified, there is still time, you had better start looking for a coach to develop fitness muscles in the next two days, I need a muscular hunk, not as exaggerated as a bodybuilding competition, but muscles must be there, the kind that can be played very fiercely at a glance, you know what I mean......"
After negotiating with Jia Hongsheng, Du Ane hung up the phone, thought for a while, and made another call to Zhu Qian.
"My Director Du, if you want to ask me to make a film, then I can really only say I'm sorry, next year's film appointments are full. β
Zhu Qian's tone was apologetic, which made Duane a little embarrassed.
"No, no, I also made a temporary decision, I didn't notify you in advance, it's normal if you can't pick it up, you don't have to be embarrassed to ......"
The two talked for a while, and after making an appointment, they had dinner together, and Duane hung up the phone, grabbing the phone and hesitating on the balcony for a long time.
He also thought a little before that Zhu Qian might not be available, after all, compared with Jia Hongsheng, who is already old and biased, Zhu Qian is in the age of fighting, and she has acting skills, appearance and figure, and there are almost no restrictions on her acting career, and it is natural that the film date is more nervous. It's just that in this way, it's really a bit difficult to find someone for his role.
He has a suitable candidate in his heart now, but because of some personal matters, he is a little reluctant to contact her, and he always feels a little embarrassed now.
But maybe it's also an opportunity?
She has actually departed from the establishment principle of the Chang'an Department now, as if she is an outlier, a transcendent existence, leaving her to compete with others under that set of rules, in fact, it is not fair, to pull her out completely, it is beneficial to the benign development of the Chang'an Department; in addition, this can also set an example for all the existing personnel of the Chang'an Department, give them a kind of encouragement and expectation, prove that this is really a stage for dreaming, and can also attract high-quality students; finally, he and her will always have to contact in the future, and it is not a way to deliberately escape, and other girls can be so free, what is he still wriggling and pinchingοΌβ¦β¦
After thinking about it, Duane finally convinced himself and made the call.
"Hey ......"
"What's the matter?"
"There's a movie I want you to make. β
"Okay, but you have to contact our company, it's all up to the company. β
β¦β¦
The communication with Song Zhen was unexpectedly smooth and plain, and it was not as embarrassing as Duan expected, and the little girl finally stopped scolding him when she had nothing to do.
This is probably really growing up, right? Du Anxin sighed with emotion, but for some reason he felt a little melancholy in his heart.
After all, I'm a cheesy man.
ββ¦β¦ One more thing, you'd better get a fitness trainer from tomorrow and get in shape. I'm not saying you're not in good shape or you're fat, it's just that I need that kind of hot body, front ...... That, you know,"
Duane was still a little embarrassed to talk about this kind of topic with his sister all along, and after expressing the meaning, he passed vaguely.
"If you want to wait for the company's notice, it should be just these two days......
After communicating with Song Zhen about his main wishes, Du An took the phone.
After selecting the two main characters, he didn't have any clear goals for the next candidates, and he had to take the route of group discussion, so he walked back to the room from the balcony.
Inside was the main hall on the second floor, and he sat down on the sofa, with a notebook on the coffee table in front of him, and three words written on the cover.
