Chapter 595: Huo Dao
"After I got the script, I also communicated with Huo Zhiming, and his assistant said that after Huo Zhiming determined the main candidates for the heroine and supporting actress, he watched all the works and movies of you and Tao Cen."
Xia Chaoqun took the opportunity to sit opposite Jiang Se, and also took a copy of the outline of "The Criminal Suspect" and flipped it up:
"Including your advertising endorsements, and some early street photos, the final changes were made."
Although Huo Zhiming's temporary change of script is a bit capricious, in a way, it is Huo Zhiming's very serious and responsible performance of the movie.
This old man has been very difficult in recent years, with the name of a veteran director in China, he has several early movies, and his later works have not performed well, and people in the circle are reluctant to cooperate with him, and he has no intention of changing his style.
A well-known director may not be as good as some directors who are not as qualified as him.
He used his personal relationship to find Luo Yin of Century Galaxy to find someone to star in his movie, which is already very 'lowered' for Huo Zhiming, even if it is the two top actresses of Century Galaxy who starred in his movie, it seems that the scenery is infinite to outsiders, maybe Huo Zhiming may not feel honored in his heart.
"Tao Cen released the news in advance, so the script is dissatisfied, and the status quo cannot be changed."
Xia Chaoqun also understood what Jiang Se meant when he said this, because the news was released in advance, which made her and Tao Cen's appearance in "The Criminal Suspect" a restriction, and when Huo Zhiming's character could not make big concessions, Jiang Se had no choice but to adjust his mentality.
Everyone is a smart person, Xia Chaoqun will stop talking, leave the script and leave.
"Suspect" is expected to gather on February 18th, the location is set in Wangzhou, this time happens to be the Spring Festival of China, Jiang Selin before leaving, first greeted the elders in advance, and the rest of the time is in reading the script and memorizing lines, February 10th first took a plane to West Kyushu, and Pei Yi, who could not go home for work reasons, had a few days of reunion, and then flew to Wangzhou on the 15th.
The main creative staff and other actors of the crew have already arrived, and Tao Cen will not come until the evening of the 16th due to work reasons.
After Jiang Se arrived in Wangzhou, he met with the reception staff of the crew.
This is a province and city in central China, with the development of China, it has been very prosperous, the location of the crew is in the east of the city, there are office buildings and commercial streets, and the people who come in and out are fashionable young men and women.
However, due to the negligence of the staff, there was a problem with the procedures when checking in, and the room card has not been received
The security guards in the hotel lobby were waiting, and when Mo Anqi went to go through the formalities to get the room card, some fans recognized her.
As the hottest celebrity assistant in China today, Mo Anqi's popularity and exposure are not below some second- and third-tier stars, and some fans of Jiang Se are also familiar with her.
In addition, because of the news released by Tao Cen at the ELYSEES press conference earlier, "The Suspect" was infinitely amplified under the gaze of the audience and the media, and it became popular before filming.
Some fans and media reporters inquired about the crew early, and some even paid out of their own pockets and rushed to Wangzhou.
Although the weather in Wangzhou is not as cold as in the imperial capital, it is not as warm as the winter in the south.
That kind of cold seems to invade the bones, making people shiver.
Fortunately, the heating was turned on in the hotel, Jiang Se took off his coat as soon as he came in, chatted with the crew, and some people in the distance also saw Jiang Se after discovering Mo Anqi first, and some people excitedly held up their mobile phones to take pictures.
After getting rid of the harsh lens, Jiang Se is not inferior to the image on the screen.
She wore light makeup, no post-flight color, her skin was as white as if glowing, she wore a loose white suit with colorful pom-pom sweaters, black trousers on the lower body, and strappy Martin boots, surrounded by a group of staff, she was still glamorous.
When someone took a picture of her with a mobile phone, she didn't seem to see it, but the staff of the "Criminal Suspect" crew who came to greet Jiang Se deliberately covered it up for her, but they couldn't stop the enthusiasm of fans at all.
The crowd is getting bigger and bigger, and even the hotel staff can't help but secretly take pictures with their mobile phones.
The crew was a little excited and helpless in the face of such a situation:
"Miss Jiang, you came two days earlier than Director Huo expected, Director Huo was on the set at this time, and after receiving the news, he had already rushed to the hotel, saying that he would take you to familiarize himself with the set in the afternoon."
The crew of "Criminal Suspect" confirmed the starring role of Tao Cen earlier, and after Jiang Se joined, Huo Zhiming has been staying in Wangzhou to supervise the progress of the project, and he did not even return to the imperial capital during the festival.
Jiang Se nodded, Mo Anqi came over with the room card, agreed with the staff to meet at three o'clock, and went back to the room directly.
This hotel is not big, and it is not ranked in Wangzhou, the only advantage is that it has just opened for two years, the facilities are still new, and the quilt covers and carpets are also clean.
The filming of the movie in Wangzhou may take more than 20 days, Jiang Se will live here for a while, the assistants are sorting out their luggage, and Chen Shan sighs:
"The crew is obviously rich, why do they live in such a hotel?"
It's not a big place, and after a bed is set up in the room, a few assistants stand up, and as soon as the suitcase is opened, they can't be used again.
The crew of "Criminal Suspect" went from being uncared for, to Tao Cen and Jiang Se signing contracts one after another, investors came when they heard the news, and the crew was not short of funds at all, but Huo Zhiming made people book such a not the best hotel.
Jiang Se still has luggage before she arrives, Xia Chaoqun will let someone pack some of her things and send them in the future, she took the script to read it aside, Mo Anqi took the time to order lunch for her, she has read the script countless times in this month, and the story has long been familiar to her chest, but in the afternoon she wants to meet Huo Zhiming, for the sake of prudence, she still ate the script again, and took out the notes she made after reading the script halfway.
After eating and reading the script for a while, about one o'clock, Jiang Se took off his makeup and went to bed for a nap, and before he could sleep for long, he was called up by Mo Anqi.
She set the alarm clock at half past two, and the alarm clock did not go off at this time, she took her mobile phone to look at the time, and it was only a few minutes before it reached two o'clock.
Mo Anqi had already put away the clothes for her, Chen Shan was holding the coat he was going out with, Jiang Se sat up, and Mo Anqi said:
"Director Huo has already come over from the set and wants to meet you first."
Originally, the appointment was made at three o'clock, but Huo Zhiming asked someone to call, saying that he wanted to take Jiang Se to familiarize himself with the set in advance for the next shooting.
Jiang Se played 'Su Yi' this time, is the main supporting actress in the film, is an indispensable character in the movie, this scene in Wangzhou is also very heavy, there is no room for mistakes, Huo Zhiming attaches great importance to it, even if this is not the time for the crew to get together, he is still anxious to take Jiang Se to see on the spot.
As soon as she mentioned that she was going to the set, Jiang Se immediately lifted the quilt, washed and changed her clothes, and put on a simple light makeup, she was about to ask Mo Anqi what time Huo Zhiming would arrive, and the next moment she heard a knock at the door, and the little assistant went to open the door, and Huo Zhiming stood outside the door.
This is Jiang Se's first meeting with Huo Zhiming after he decided to join the crew of "The Suspect".
If it weren't for the fact that the age difference between him and his assistant was so big that people could recognize him at a glance, I am afraid that people who didn't know enough about him would recognize him as the role of an assistant.
He wore a white-washed brown canvas cotton coat, gray hair, medium build, glasses, and fat trousers, looking unusually plain and inconspicuous.
On the contrary, the two young assistants next to him wore suits and ties, which made them even more personable.
Compared with Jiang Se, who only arrived in Wangzhou today, Huo Zhiming is even more dusty, this February season, he hurried over, and the sweat on his head has not yet dried.
"Jiang Se?"
Huo Zhiming saw Jiang Se at a glance, he originally thought that he had come over in advance and would wait for Jiang Se for a while.
After all, the time he originally agreed with Jiang Se was at three o'clock, and he came over in advance, maybe Jiang Se hadn't finished cleaning up yet.
Seeing Jiang Se wearing his outing clothes at this time, Huo Zhiming was obviously relieved, and the assistant next to him didn't look like Jiang Se was angry, so he couldn't help but breathe a big sigh of relief and smiled.
"Director Huo, hello."
Jiang Se said hello, and Huo Zhiming said:
"You're ready, the car is downstairs, let's go to the set and have a look."
He was so direct that the two assistants beside him smiled bitterly.
Just after meeting Huo Zhiming, Jiang Se figured out the general personality of this old man, when he was working, he was a little unkempt, and he had no concept of time, he was quite willful, but he was extremely dedicated.
It's hard to work with such a weirdo, you have to follow his steps, and if you get along with someone with a personality like him, you're afraid that if you're not careful, you'll quarrel and end up breaking up.
The two assistants obviously knew Huo Zhiming's character very well, but they were helpless against him, but fortunately, Jiang Se was not unhappy, but nodded, took gloves and followed Huo Zhiming together.
The car was parked in the parking lot downstairs of the hotel, it was a seven-seater nanny car, Huo Zhiming stared at Jiang Se as soon as he got in the car:
"Have you read the new script?"
"I've seen it."
Jiang Se answered, and Huo Zhiming said:
"Maybe it will have to be changed again."
At this time, do you want to change it again? Jiang Se smiled bitterly and involuntarily asked:
"What do you think needs to be changed?"
The assistant sitting in front of him frequently turned his head back, afraid that Jiang Se would be unhappy, but Huo Zhiming didn't seem to feel uncomfortable in the atmosphere, and pushed the glasses on his face:
"There are a couple of scenarios that need to be changed. What do you think about the role of 'Su Yi'? ”
Since getting the role of this supporting actress, Jiang Se has been pondering the most important supporting role in "The Suspect".
The predecessor of the character 'Su Yi' was adapted from 'Zhong Qi', and at the beginning of "Suspect", it was unfolded by a mysterious letter received from the police station.
One day, the Wangjin Police Station received a letter that was not signed and did not contain the name of the recipient, and the phone number left was also the landline number of the Wangjin Police Station.
However, there are quite a few people in the police station, and it is common for some letters to be written to the police station phone number, and it is common to forget to write the name of the recipient.
No one cared about it, until one day, when they received another letter like this, the people in the communication room felt a little strange.
The letter sent again still did not have the name of the recipient or the sender, and the landline number was still the number of the Wangjin Police Station, and the address was still here.
For the next few days, such a mysterious letter was received, and after receiving five or six such letters, the people in the communication room took the letter and prepared to ask the people in the police station whose letter it was, or a prank.
People in the police station speculated that this should be a prank, first of all, if it is an anonymous report letter, there is a report box outside the Wangjin Police Station, if the whistleblower is really dissatisfied with the person from the police station, he can put the letter through the report box, every once in a while, there will be a special person to pick up the letter inside, there is no need to go through such a big effort, make this incident.
When the people in the communication room were even more convinced that this was just a prank, when they asked the serious crime team, the deputy captain Shen Xunran noticed that something was wrong, and left the 'prank' letters that the people in the communication room had planned to throw away.
Shen Xunran has been in the serious crime team for many years, has repeatedly solved strange cases, has a keen sense of smell, and has a gentle heart under her ruthless mask of fighting criminals, and is deeply loved by the members of the group.
After leaving the letters, Shen Xunran personally opened the letters.
The first letter I received was two weeks ago, and it was written with a sentence: There are still two months left before Wu Chunhe's death!
The second letter reads: There are still fifty-three days before Wu Chunhe's death!
……
The last letter read: There are still thirty-seven days before Wu Chunhe's death!
It's like a time countdown to death, and it's creepy.
The serious crime team reported the matter to the higher authorities, and the authorities quickly paid attention to it.
Wu Chun and this person is quite famous in Wangjin, he is the first group of people in the Wangjin area to get rich in factories, and now he has established a company with a lot of money.
Once Wu Chunhe is involved, there is no way to treat this matter as a prank.
The police station set up a special task force and sent people to protect Wu Chunhe, while investigating the enemies who had grievances with him, this investigation found out a lot of old things about Wu Chunhe, and at the same time opened the prelude to "The Criminal Suspect".
