Chapter Ninety-Five: Casting
The outbreak of the tsunami in Southeast Asia shocked the world.
In the face of natural disasters, it is always easiest for human beings to put aside differences such as race, religion, and so on, join hands to pray for the victims and wish a better life for the living.
But disasters will pass, trauma will always disappear, and people's lives will continue to return to the same track as before, and nothing can change if they should love each other, kill each other, and kill each other.
Lu Qiu and Scarlett belong to the group that fell in love, after the catastrophe, their relationship was finally completely stable, Scarlett no longer pursued the excitement of life, and was willing to become a member of Lu Qiu's harem group, Lu Qiu's harem officially ushered in the first blonde and blue-eyed foreign beauty.
Of course, Lu Qiu did not indulge in love and love all day long because of the conquest of Scarlett, after a moderate rest and recuperation carnival, Lu Qiu began to move towards a new goal, this time Lu Qiu's goal is very great, he is with a compassionate heart to help the world and save people, and decided to shoot a new movie--- Tangshan Earthquake!
The reason why he filmed the Tangshan earthquake was naturally touched by the tsunami in Southeast Asia, which reminded Lu Qiu of another catastrophe that was closely related to the Chinese people, that is, the Wenchuan earthquake in 08, even if a long time has passed, he can clearly remember the tragic situation of the ruined home that he saw on TV, and he donated 10 million in another time and space, should this time and space sit back and watch the disaster come, and then donate some money to make himself feel at ease?
The answer is, of course, no, Lu Qiu categorically can't sit idly by, but what can be done to redeem it, or save more people?
A movie name came to mind.
That was the Tangshan earthquake!
The Tangshan earthquake filmed by Feng Dadao after Wenchuan is a work that has been criticized for making money and is substandard to a certain extent, but at this time, in Lu Qiu's opinion, if this movie can be filmed in advance, it can justifiably fictionalize the Wenchuan earthquake in the movie, and then issue a warning to the real world, even if the warning is not taken seriously, it can also be used to promote the popularization of earthquake escape drills, which can also save many lives!
So there is no doubt that the new goal, the Tangshan earthquake!
The original version of the Tangshan earthquake has a total investment of 120 million, of which Tangshan Radio and Television invested 60 million, and the rest Huayi, China Film, and Emperor contributed proportionally, because of the investment of Tangshan Radio and Television, plus the subject matter, the original version is completely the treatment of the main theme movie, and its box office is close to 700 million, but most of it is achieved by political tasks.
Luqiu is now filming in advance, without the impact of the Wenchuan earthquake, Tangshan Radio and Television did not take the opportunity to promote the advanced concept of the city later, so this point of 200 million is equivalent to the production of hill films, Cai Yinong, who is responsible for the operation of the hill, naturally questioned.
"Husband, what are you going to do, can you win an award for this Tangshan earthquake?"
Lu Qiu shook his head, "No." β
"Can the box office pay for itself?"
Lu Qiu thought about it, "Maybe not. β
"Then why do you want to shoot, the loser is not such a defeat as you!" Cai Yinong was anxious.
Lu Qiu thought about it for a while, and hugged Han Xue, who was nervously playing with the corners of his clothes, into his arms, "Karen, my husband made this movie for Xiaoxue, so one two hundred million, it will be spent if it is spent." β
Han Xue's heart mentioned her throat, she felt that Cai Yinong's furious spurt was about to be ushered in, so she simply closed her eyes and realized that she would die.
Unexpectedly, that kind of scene did not appear, but Cai Yinong looked at Lu Qiu instead: "I guess that's the case, the stinky husband really sees one and loves the other, but then again, Sister Xiaoxue is really pitiful to me, come to Sister Xiaoxue, sister and talk to you!" She came up and faced Han Xue is a salty pig hand.
Han Xue was at a loss and asked Lu Qiu's opinion.
Lu Qiu smiled bitterly: "Xue, it's good to get used to it, Karen is our female pervert, you won't be able to escape her clutches sooner or later." β
Before he could say this, Cai Yinong had already blocked Han Xue's small mouth, and the two flower-like beauties kissed passionately in front of Lu Qiu.
Lu Qiu still held on, and overthrowing Cai Yinong was a tart, and then changed to Han Xue after that, and the office was suddenly filled with boundless spring.
Han Xue, a stupid girl, thought that the Tangshan earthquake was really tailor-made for her by Lu Qiu, and she was moved, but she also went from the absurdity of such a threesome to a complete sinking.
It's just that Cai Yinong was not fooled by Lu Qiu under the banner of praising Han Xue, and after the madness, she just asked Lu Qiu a question: "Husband, is your filming of the Tangshan earthquake related to the tsunami?"
Lu Qiu knew that he couldn't hide it from her, and the fact was that the girls had always been very suspicious of his prediction of the tsunami before it happened, and he didn't want to deceive Cai Yinong, so he hugged her tightly and said: "Karen doesn't believe that my husband has the ability to predict the occurrence of disasters, the tsunami in Southeast Asia is like this, and the Wenchuan earthquake is also like this, so I filmed the Tangshan earthquake in order to send a warning and save more lives." β
Cai Yinong did not have the slightest doubt, "People believe in their husbands, don't worry, husband, we will fully support you and shoot the Tangshan earthquake well!"
In this way, the Tangshan earthquake with an investment of 120 million yuan was included in the 2005 shooting plan of Hill Film and Television, and according to the requirements of Luqiu, preparations were made as quickly as possible, and the unlucky person in charge of this piece was none other than Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu naturally slandered about this, "Dude still has a scene to film, and Dead Xiaolu is simply inconsiderate." Of course, in fact, he doesn't want to be beautiful in his heart, the huge hills, and even the entire Pangu, only he has the honor to follow the big boss, and the friendship between the two is known to the whole group, so Zhang Yu should not be too majestic in the company on weekdays, and Cai Yinong is this product that covers the sky with one hand.
And the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and this product is also unclear with several actresses, like those two Bingbing and Yuanyuan, in short, Lu Qiu can't look down on it, this product is all messed upon, and the scandals are all over the company.
Lu Qiu heard a little wind and said to this goods: "Yutou, I heard that it has been very romantic recently, how about it, exchange experiences." β
This thing thought that Lu Qiu was going to settle accounts with him, and he was so frightened that his heartbeat almost stopped, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Lu, don't listen to the nonsense of the company, I am very clean, and I have never touched anything that meets your aesthetics." β
Lu Qiu looked at this goods trembling, like walking on thin ice, feeling very interesting, his face sank and said: "Yes, what about Bingbing and Yuanyuan, I think it's okay?"
Zhang Yu immediately expressed his loyalty: "Those few are full of scandals on weekdays, how can you take a fancy to second-hand goods Xiao Lu, but if you like it, I will arrange it immediately, and I will ensure that they serve you honestly." β
Lu Qiu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he thought of that scene, but he still refused: "Forget it, they are not young, I don't want to hinder people from finding a serious home, and you are the fish head, you can play as you like, if you force it, I can't spare you." β
Zhang Yu immediately said: "That's impossible, our current identity, there is no need to force it, they will be sent to the door by themselves." After speaking, I realized that I was purely playing a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen, talking about my identity with Xiao Lu, and humiliating myself.
Lu Qiu really didn't care about him, but just told him to choose the actors well, and he went to mix with Han Xue and Cai Yinong.
The rest of Zhang Yu unconsciously thought a little more, the leader's instructions, he must not just listen to the surface meaning, but have to understand it deeply, he said to himself: "Xiao Lu will not mention the style of life for no reason, this is to warn me not to just enjoy myself, forget the leader." As for not wanting to hinder people from finding a home, this is not like the style of the pervert land, it should still dislike Bingbing Yuanyuan's old age and many scandals, if it is replaced by a young, beautiful, pure and lovely, it will be accepted, well, fortunately, I have a bottom line and principles, and I haven't touched any of that little beauty, now, it's time for me to show my loyalty. β
Zhang Yu made a decision to retrieve the company's little beauty, and he asked the ** secretary to call a person into the office.
"Mr. Zhang, do you have something to do with me?" The little beauty was very vigilant in the face of Zhang Yu, with an expression of staying away from me and being careful that I beat you when you get closer.
"Uh-huh!" Zhang Yu cleared his throat and said in an amiable posture: "Xiao Liu, you see that you have signed in to the company for some days, and I have always promoted new actors, you know." β
"I don't understand. "The little beauty doesn't give any face, and now Zhang Yu's reputation in the company is worse than that of the boss of the big devil, and she doesn't want to give this product even a little opportunity to take advantage of.
Zhang Yu is not embarrassed, he means that he plans to carry the little beauty, if he really wants to turn into a phoenix one day, don't forget his good, but the little beauty seems to have misunderstood.
"That Xiao Liu, maybe I didn't make it clear, the big boss wants to make a movie, called the Tangshan earthquake, with an investment of more than 100 million, and I left you an important role, which is to play against the big boss, I hope you don't live up to my trust. β
The little beauty was stunned, a big production with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, she left an important role for herself, there is such a good thing, etc., it means to play against the big boss.
"Mr. Zhang, is there any bed scene?" The little beauty is very direct.
Zhang Yu was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You have to read the script for this, if you really have requirements, can you add it." β
You can add a ghost!
The little beauty almost went berserk, "I won't shoot a bed scene if there's a bed scene, if you don't have it, you can consider it." The little beauty asked.
Zhang Yu was puzzled, "Why, I can listen to many female artists in the company, the big boss is handsome and has a good figure, I wish I could shoot a bed scene with him." β
The little beauty pouted, "They are them, I am me, who doesn't know who the big boss is afraid of bed scenes, who can't escape the clutches, Yuan Li is like this, Zhang Ziyi is like this, even Xu Qing who is just playing against each other is the same, anyway, I won't shoot bed scenes." β
Zhang Yu understood what was going on, and couldn't help crying and laughing, "You girl really don't know how to cherish it, well, in fact, this is a main theme movie, and there is a problem with bed scenes, so Xiao Liu, you can rest assured." β
The little beauty nodded, but then said, "Is the director a big boss?"
"Originally, it was Director Feng, but Director Feng wanted to shoot the world without thieves, so the big boss had to direct and act by himself. Zhang Yu replied patiently.
"Then I won't shoot either. "The little beauty is here again.
"And why!" Zhang Yu endured his anger.
"Sister Han Xue filmed the big boss's peacock and also fell, I'm afraid I'll be the same, so I won't shoot. β
Zhang Yu was angry, "You girl is too ignorant of the sky and the earth, do you think that the company is just a little flower for you, believe it or not, I will change people in minutes." β
The little beauty was unmoved, her eyelids raised, "Whatever you want, I don't care anyway." β
Zhang Yu was helpless, he didn't eat this soft and hard thing, thinking of his plan to please the leader, he endured his anger again, and said step by step: "Xiao Liu, don't you admire Han Xue very much, and you still like the songs in her new album." β
"Mr. Zhang, you are wrong, I like Sister Han Xue's whole album, because every song is so good, it's not too fascinating!"
Zhang Yu said: "Yes, the whole album is good, so do you know who wrote the songs in Han Xue's album?"
"I know, my husband wrote it. "The little beauty is very naΓ―ve," this husband is really a genius songwriter, he can write so many classic works for Sister Han Xue, I think he is Sister Han Xue's true love, and the boss should be very familiar. β
Zhang Yu's head had a black line, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu, you don't want to think about it, how can Han Xue's husband be someone else besides the boss!"
"What!" the little beauty was dumbfounded, "That's impossible, you must be lying to me, how can so many beautiful and emotional songs be written by the pervert of the big boss, I don't believe it." The little beauty shook her head desperately.
Zhang Yu is about to collapse, is this girl upright or sly, saying in front of the general manager that the boss is a pervert, you are forcing people to wear small shoes for you.
Zhang Yu hesitated a little, thinking about whether he should change someone, but looking at Xiao Liu's face, it was clear that it was the boss's dish, what if the horse's fart was slapped on the horse's leg.
After all, I gritted my teeth and got the little beauty.
"Xiao Liu, this time Han Xue is also going to play, or the heroine, so you don't have to worry about anything else, and I can tell you responsibly, the boss is actually very respectful of women, take 10,000 steps back and say, the initiative in this matter is still in your hands, if you don't agree, no one can force you, and you don't want to miss such a good opportunity just because of prejudices, don't forget, the peacock that the boss filmed for the first time as a director got the silver bear in Berlin, this opportunity is really rare. β
Zhang Yu said bitterly.
The little beauty is struggling, Zhang Yu's words are still very convincing, this is indeed a rare opportunity, she is only a marginal character after joining the company, if she can participate in a big production directed by the boss, her popularity will definitely soar, and it will be difficult for anyone to resist this temptation, but the pervert Zhang is so attentive, so that she always feels a taste of pimping, do you want to refuse?
Zhang Yu saw her hesitation, and said: "Don't hesitate, the boss was the most inspired when he was on the set, the last time was when he was filming the peacock, he swayed his talents and wrote songs on the spot, which conquered the new boss lady, and now the two are in love with each other, and the boss will be able to write new songs, if you join, won't you be able to witness such a miracle!"
These words became a decisive bargaining chip, and the little beauty instantly made a decision, "Okay, I promise, but Mr. Zhang, the words you used just now are so low-level, what kind of adultery is hot, no wonder people in the company say that you are Nemo." β
Zhang Yu didn't know what to do, "What do you mean by Nemo?"
The little beauty grinned: "Clownfish, hahahaha, I went out to Mr. Zhang." Nizi slipped away.
Zhang Yu was not annoyed, he wanted to scold people but had no object, so he could only slap the table with hatred, and snorted angrily: "Count you running fast, or you will have to be punished for cleaning the toilet!"
As soon as the little beauty came out of the office, several Nizi who were also young and beautiful surrounded her.
"Shishi, what is Nemo looking for you?
"If he dares, we are not afraid, just scold him. β
"Yes, scare him, there's nothing wrong with it. β
The little beauty, Liu Shishi, shook her head and said: "No, this time Nemo is pimping the big boss, no, it's the big boss who wants to make a movie and invest more than 100 million, Nemo said that he left me a role, or play against the big boss." β
"Wow!" exclaimed the rest.
"Shishi, you are developed, take charge of the big production, play against the big boss, why didn't such a good thing happen to me!"
"Come on, Tang Yan, you were all selected by Director Zhang Dadao, and you want to appear at the closing of the Olympic Games, and it is not a matter of minutes to become famous. β
"Luodan, you are not bad, there are TV dramas, Director Zhao of Xin Baoyuan also appreciates you, you are the one with a bright future. β
Tang Yan and Wang Luodan deviated from the topic, Liu Shishi shook her head when she saw this, and said to the other person: "Sister Sun Li, you help me with my staff, should the big boss be to me... Any ideas?"
Sun Li said with a smile: "Silly girl, you think too much, I heard Sister Chang say, in fact, the big boss is really not as legendary as the company, maybe the big boss is very romantic, but he will never force or threaten, so you don't have to worry at all, as long as you hold it yourself, it's no problem." β
Liu Shishi completely relieved her heart at this time, Sun Li is more mature among the women, and she is a reassuring pill-like existence.
Liu Shishi also heard other things from Sun Li's words, and her eyes lit up and said: "Sister Sun Li, so Sister Chang told you the secret story of the big boss, then you can come and hear it!"
Tang Yan and Wang Luodan also came over and pricked up their gossip ears.
"That's it, tell us about it, if you don't share your secrets, you're not a sister. β
"Yes, yes, Sister Sun Li, say it quickly!"
Sun Li couldn't be entangled, so she had to say: "Okay, okay, then you have to promise me that I will never spread the word." β
"No problem, I swear. β
"I swear too!"
Liu Shishi's three daughters swore an oath.
Sun Li exposed the little nature of gossip, and said mysteriously: "Sister Chang turned out to be Sister Xiao Ran's agent, and she witnessed the process of the big boss pursuing Sister Xiao Ran, which is really called a domineering leak, and this is the case." β
