Chapter 23: Filming in India
In the early morning, a gentle mist rose on the side of the Qingshui River, and the mountains outside the window were painted with a layer of milky white.
"The view is truly stunning!"
Wang Zheng stretched his waist, put the plan he wrote yesterday and the photos that had been washed into his briefcase, closed the door and went downstairs, went to the Shaw canteen next to him to have a fairly cheap breakfast, and took the car to the wireless building.
Inside the office on the top floor of the wireless building.
Shao Daheng was flipping through the plans and scripts prepared by Wang Zheng, reading page by page extremely seriously. After a long time, I put it down.
"The script is well written, and the main characters are also very suitable. ”
Hearing that Shao Daheng affirmed the actor, Wang Zheng's heart was half relieved.
"Still. ”
Wang Zheng's body just relaxed and sat up straight, and at the same time he slandered in his heart, the old man just likes to sell guanzi.
"One thing I'm afraid won't work. Run Run Shaw said slowly.
"Dare to ask the sixth uncle, what is it?" Wang Zheng hurriedly asked.
Shao Daheng didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "In your plan, it is said that the scene of the exquisite ancient city needs to be filmed in Dunhuang in the mainland, which is probably unlikely." “
The scene of Dunhuang is the most important part of the film, and he asked puzzledly: "Why is it impossible, can't we go to the mainland?"
Shao Daheng shook his head: "Of course you can go to the mainland, but the subject matter of this movie, the mainland will not let us shoot, now the situation in the mainland has just stabilized, and the plot of this movie is related to tomb robbery, although your script does not have this meaning, but now it is a sensitive period, and now we can only change places to shoot." ”
When Wang Zheng heard that this was the reason, he was also in trouble. When I first conceived the script, I only felt that Dunhuang was the most suitable, there were deserts and ancient buildings, and the plan really couldn't catch up with the changes. He didn't want to find a random place in Xiangjiang to shoot the movie, that would only ruin such a good script.
Seeing Wang Zheng's depressed face, Shao Daheng smiled: "Hehe, you don't have to worry, when I traveled in India, I went to a place where there are deserts and medieval ruins, all of which meet the requirements of your script scene." ”
Wang Zheng was relieved when he heard that there was still this place in India, but a new question came again: "Sixth uncle, if I go to India, I'm afraid that the budget will not be enough." ”
Shao Daheng was prepared, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about the cost, I will increase the capital by another 300,000, and the previous share will remain unchanged, I heard that your novel is selling well, you should have no problem investing a total of 500,000." ”
Wang Zheng's next novel has long been published on the market, and he can almost take out 500,000 yuan, Shao Tycoon will not even know how much money he has, and he doesn't ask for any special conditions to add another 300,000, which makes him wonder if there is a pit waiting for him, and now he is also an employee of Shaw Brothers, and Shao Tycoon is not generous to employees in terms of money.
seemed to see Wang Zheng's suspicions, Shao Daheng smiled faintly: "You don't have to doubt why I am suddenly so generous, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I am very optimistic about this script, and I like it very much, as long as you don't shoot it messily, you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price." “
It was so easy to be seen through by Shao Daheng, Wang Zheng smiled embarrassedly and said: "Then thank you Uncle Six, I will definitely work hard to shoot well." “
Shao Daheng nodded: "Although your plan is good, I will let Ah Hua be the producer of this movie, I hope you don't disappoint me." “
It turns out that after saying so much, I still don't believe in myself, whether it's sending Fang Yihua to be the producer, it's easier to do other things with her, so as not to let no one listen to the command of a newcomer when I get it.
"I'll ask my friends from India to take some pictures, and then you can see if it's appropriate. After speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a few sips.
This is to serve tea to the guests, Wang Zheng said yes and quit.
I went downstairs to the training class to find Liang Chaowei and the others, handed them the copied script, and told the three of them to be familiar with the script, and the location might go to India for filming.
Hearing that they were going to India to film, the three had mixed reactions.
Da Fei was very happy and very excited, and shouted: "India is good, I always see Indian Ah San in Xiangjiang, I can also go to them to have a look, I heard that Indian girls are white and beautiful, graceful in shape, and beautiful in belly dance." ”
Wang Zheng heard a black line.
Zhou Xingchi was also a little happy, but also asked a little worriedly: "Ah Zheng, how long will it take, I haven't left Xiangjiang since I was so old, and I'm afraid that no one will take care of me at home after I leave." ”
Wang Zheng knew that he was a filial child, so he comforted him: "I can't be sure how long it will take, but it won't be long, and our funds are limited." ”
Liang Chaowei's situation was similar to Zhou Xingchi's, and when he heard that it wouldn't take long to go, he didn't ask questions, just watched the three of them smile from the side.
The three of them shouted and screamed, and Liu Dehao came over and asked, "Ah Zheng, what good things make you so happy?"
Wang Zheng told him that "Ghost Blows the Lantern" was going to be made into a movie and going to India for filming.
Hearing that his classmates at the same time had already begun to star in the movie, Liu Dehao was very envious, but he also did not forget to congratulate them.
Seeing Liu Dehao's envious face, Wang Zheng invited: "Da boy, are you interested in going to India with us, it just so happens that there is a student in it who has not yet been decided, if you don't dislike the lack of scenes, you can join us together." ”
"Really, of course I'm interested, as long as you don't think I'm bad at acting. Hearing that he also had the opportunity to act, 20-year-old Liu Dehao seemed very happy.
"Then it's decided, it will be turned on after the year, and I'll let you know when the time comes, you have to reserve time for me. ”
Now there is still a role assignment, why not help the future king, let him qualify early, and there may be greater achievements in the future.
When Wang Zheng returned to Dunhoulou, the night was already dark, in the blue sky, the light of the setting sun had been covered by clouds, and the lights of the city were gradually lit up.
When he came to the seventh floor and returned to his room, he found that the door of the room 706 next door was ajar, and Wang Zheng didn't expect that he would have a new neighbor so soon.
Wang Zheng was hesitating whether to knock on the door to say hello to his new neighbor, and the door was pulled open from the inside.
I saw Guan Zhilin standing in front of the door wearing a suspender pajamas, looking at the snow-white on her chest, Wang Zheng's throat was a little dry.
"Mr. Wang, you're back, I heard that Manager Fang said that you live next door to me, and I went to knock on the door to say hello to you, but no one knocked for a long time. ”
"I went to TVB in the afternoon, did Miss Guan move here today?" Wang Zheng controlled himself and tried not to look at her, the clothes were really a little thin.
"The play "Headhunter" has been completed, I just signed a contract with Shaw Brothers not long ago and was assigned to this dormitory, the environment here is good, if I don't have to accompany my mother, I want to live for a long time. Guan Zhilin looked down-to-earth and generous.
Wang Zheng didn't expect her to sign a contract with Shaw Brothers so soon, and she was afraid that she would become more and more popular in the future.
"It's a really nice place to stay. ”
"Yes, Mr. Wang, do you want to come in and sit down and have a cup of tea. "Guan Zhilin's kind invitation.
"No, I still have to sort out the script, another day!"
After speaking, Wang Zheng hurriedly opened the door and returned to his room, and if he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would have to look foreign.
