Chapter 21 Preparations (I)
After coming down from the tycoon's office, Wang Zheng came to the training class and found Zhou Xingchi, Liang Chaowei and Da Fei.
"I just went to meet Boss Shao, and he is willing to invest in my movie about ghosts blowing the lantern, you have also read this novel during this time, what do you understand about the characters in it?"
The three of them were a little stunned, and they hadn't reacted from the news that Run Run Shaw had invested in Wang Zheng's film.
Wang Zheng stretched out his hands helplessly and said, "If I ask you, don't be in a daze." ”
Zhou Xingchi reacted: "Ah Zheng, you said that Boss Shao invested in you to make a movie, are you kidding?"
The big flying monster shouted: "I heard me right, am I crazy, or is Shao Daheng crazy?"
Liang Chaowei thought for a while before speaking: "It would be great if it was true, I did some psychological analysis of Hu Bayi, the protagonist of the novel. ”
Wang Zhengxin said that there was finally a person who understood, ignoring Zhou Xingchi and Da Fei, who questioned him, and asked Liang Chaowei: "Wei Zai, then tell me about Hu Bayi's character." ”
Liang Chaowei sorted out his thoughts before he spoke: "According to the analysis of the characters in the novel, Hu Bayi was born in the military, and he was still alive because all his comrades-in-arms died in battle, which made him live in remorse and self-blame. Later, he changed from a soldier to a tomb robber, and the contrast in identity made him extremely conflicted, and later he became a character who was not afraid of heaven and earth. ”
Wang Zheng sighed that with Liang Chaowei's serious temperament, it is not for nothing that he can have such a great reputation in later generations.
"Then Wei Zai, you have to prepare, I am ready to let you play Hu Bayi. ”
Wang Zheng did not arbitrarily assign the starring role, coupled with Liang Chaowei's melancholy little eyes, this is definitely a classic image of Hu Bayi.
"I'm going to act?" Liang Chaowei couldn't believe it, so far, he followed Wang Zheng and them to play some tricks in the background, and he came up to play the leading role of the movie at once, which was like a dream.
Looking at Liang Chaowei, who usually looks calm, looking at himself with some confusion, Wang Zheng smiled slightly: "I think Wei Zai, you are very suitable, you have to start growing your hair from today on." Prepare well!"
Liang Chaowei still has short hair, and such a hairstyle is not suitable for Hu Bayi.
Stephen Chow and Da Fei next to them both heard their conversation, and then they knew that Wang Zheng was not joking, both of them looked at Wang Zheng expectantly, hoping to play the role in the book.
Wang Zheng had already made a plan in his heart, and said to Zhou Xingchi: "Xingzai, I know that you are more talented in comedy, I can't erase your advantages, I am ready to let you play the role of the big golden tooth in the book." Although he is not the protagonist, I will increase his role appropriately, and this role can play your imagination and how to play this role. ”
Zhou Xingchi was a little disappointed when he heard that he wanted him to play the big golden tooth, he was the first to see this novel, and he knew that the big golden tooth did not have many scenes, but when he heard Wang Zheng say that it would increase his role, he nodded happily again and again.
Da Fei saw that Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei both had roles, and hurriedly asked, "Then what am I playing?"
Wang Zheng looked at Da Fei's face that had become a little bigger recently, and he didn't know if Da Fei would be qualified for this role.
"Brother Fei, the role you play is very important, the atmosphere of the whole movie needs you to set off, I'm afraid you won't play it well. ”
Da Fei was furious when he heard this: "What role I can't handle, am I too low-key during this time, you underestimate Brother Fei." ”
Wang Zheng saw that his painting style suddenly returned to the state of bragging, and said helplessly: "Then Brother Fei, you can read the novel carefully, in which Wang Kaixuan Fat Man is another protagonist, it would be better if you could grow more meat." ”
Da Fei pouted: "Isn't it just to play a fat man, when I start acting, I'm afraid of scaring you." ”
Wang Zheng is also helpless, he can't find a suitable person to play the role of Wang Fatzi, plus his purpose is to let a few of them embark on the road of acting a few years earlier, although they will have to polish for a few years in the future before they come out, and letting them be the leading actors will make them less grinding, and I don't know what impact it will have on them in the future, but Wang Zheng believes that with him by their side, even if there are any changes in the future, he will take measures in time.
The three of them got their own roles, and they all seemed very happy, Wang Zheng asked them to familiarize themselves with the plot of the novel first, and in the next few days, he would sort out the script written earlier, and then analyze it with them.
Wang Zheng returned to his seat and took out a pen and paper, and first arranged the roles in the movie, Liang Chaowei played the protagonist Hu Bayi, Da Fei played Wang Fatzi, Zhou Xingchi played the big golden tooth, and the heroine Shirley Yang was preliminarily scheduled to play Guan Zhilin. There are also guides and Professor Chen, as well as several of his students, who need to find the right actors.
Now when it is a mistake, you must first confirm the candidate for the heroine, and ask him Du Qifeng to ask Guan Zhilin's contact information.
To Qifeng had some complaints about being an assistant director for this kid who was six or seven years younger than himself, but under the majesty of Shao Daheng, he didn't dare to have an opinion, so he could only obey the arrangement. Wang Zheng could understand that he was still too young and couldn't get his approval, and he had no choice but to use time to prove it.
I learned from To Qifeng that Guan Zhilin was filming at Shaw Brothers Cinemas in Clear Water Bay, and he happened to take advantage of the luggage to move over today, so he could be regarded as living in a villa-type luxury dormitory. has been in this era for so long, and Wang Zheng has always lived a relatively poor and simple life.
Wang Zheng returned to Xu Ji's dormitory to pack his simple luggage, and took a look at the single dormitory where he had lived for more than a year, and felt a little touched. I went to the tea restaurant to say goodbye to Uncle Jian, and thanked him for taking care of him for more than a year.
Because of the luggage, Wang Zheng generously took a taxi to Qingshuihe, to the Shaw Brothers dormitory "Dunhou Building", looking at the modern apartment in front of him, Wang Zheng slandered the meaning of "Dunhou", is it not that Shaw Brothers employees must uphold the essence of honesty and honesty, and work hard in Shaw Brothers. Of course, Wang Zheng is just slandering, and he believes that the word "generous" is definitely not what he means.
Showed his identity card, took the elevator to the floor room 707 marked by the key, opened the door and entered, this is a small one-bedroom room, with a separate kitchen and toilet, very suitable for living alone.
There are all kinds of daily necessities such as beds and tables, and I also save myself from buying them, and I cleaned the room a little and laid out my own sheets and quilts.
Coming to the window and opening the window, looking at the green scenery of a hill not far away, Wang Zheng was in a good mood, although he moved from a small dormitory to a larger dormitory, they are still dormitories, but the difference is that there has been progress.
