Next chapter

Feng Xiaogang's good days only passed for two days, and Jiang Wen came over two days later to discuss the script with him.

In the past two days, Jiang Wen studied the script of "Beijing People in New York" at home, and also made reading notes, in which he thought he had doubts, that is, he felt that he needed to revise them.

When he came to the Friendship Hotel, he felt that the conditions here were good, it was very warm and he was good at eating, so he didn't plan to leave.

Jiang Wen discussed with Feng Xiaogang one by one according to the records in his reading notes, if you can convince him, then it's fine, if you can't convince him, then you have to follow his intentions.

He also pulled Lin Zixuan, a screenwriter, to study it together.

No matter how you say it, this is a serious and responsible attitude, which is conducive to the performance of the actors, and Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang are very cooperative.

After another two days, Jiang Wen saw that the interview actor was interesting, so he took the initiative to participate, and also put forward his own opinions as an actor.

He even proposed two candidates for the cast.

One is Wang Qiming's daughter in the play, and he thinks that a young actress in "The Stubborn Master" is good, called Ma Qingqing.

There is also an American David in the play, he knows an American who is engaged in cultural exchange between the two countries at the American Embassy in Beijing, and he thinks that the American is good.

It's easy to say that it's normal to recommend actors, as long as it's suitable.

After another two days, Jiang Wen began to discuss the topic of filming with Feng Xiaogang, how can we shoot this scene......

"I'm so stupid, I used to just hear that he loves more seriously and it's difficult to communicate, but I didn't expect it to be true, I can be considered to have experienced the taste of working with a big star. Feng Xiaogang complained to Lin Zixuan.

"Hold on, it's all about work. Lin Zixuan sympathized.

For this "Beijing People in New York", Feng Xiaogang has paid more effort than Lin Zixuan, and the opportunity is rare.

As he said, Lin Zixuan is still young, and there will be a chance in the future, he is in his thirties, and it will be too late if he doesn't fight, Jiang Wen is the actor he chose, and he is also suitable for this role.

Then what else is there to say, accompany you to the end, who is afraid of whom.

So, in the room of the Friendship Hotel, I often heard the quarrel between the two of them, but fortunately, they just talked about the matter, and after the quarrel, it was forgotten, and there was no conflict, and Lin Zixuan would also mediate.

Good works are all quarrels, and Lin Zixuan had to comfort himself like this.

This also shows that the actors at this time are not perfunctory, pick out the details, and want to play the play well, only with such a serious attitude can the characters be lived, not exaggerated, not pretentious.

This is the basic quality of being an actor.

In the period before the Chinese New Year, a major event occurred in Huaguo, a leader who had taken a back seat set out from the capital all the way to the south, all the way to Huacheng, where he delivered a series of speeches on reform and opening up.

The people of China are not very clear, but it has caused a shock in the officialdom.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan returned to Mu Shanshan's house and accompanied Mu Zhiyuan and Li Hong to eat, which was discussed by the two, La Ba Festival ate at Lin Zixuan's house, and Chinese New Year's Eve was to eat at Mu Shanshan's house.

The next year will be rotated, and you can't favor one over the other.

As for this year's Chinese New Year, both families are reluctant to go to the Spring Festival Gala, and they are still comfortable watching TV at home.

At that time, Lin Zixuan will take Lin Xiaoling to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and then send his sister home the next day.

"This time I'm finally at ease. After eating and chatting, Mu Zhiyuan sighed.

There has not been a large-scale report on the talk in the south, but it has already spread in the officialdom, and those who engage in the media also know a general idea, especially within Huaguo Television, and everyone knows it.

Just waiting for instructions from above, they began to vigorously publicize it.

Mu Zhiyuan is a reformer, so he is naturally happy to see this situation, and with this conversation, his future work will be much better.

"Shanghai is the next pilot, and the surrounding areas of Shanghai will develop in the future. Lin Zixuan echoed.

"That's true, when you submit the novel "Alive" to the "Hundred Flowers" magazine in Shanghai a few days later, I have met with the president of that magazine a few times, and he is a responsible figure. Mu Zhiyuan commented.

Lin Zixuan nodded, he knew the magazine "Hundred Flowers".

"Hundred Flowers" is a highly influential pure magazine in China, mainly publishing novels, founded in 1957 by Mr. Li Lao, a leading figure in the Chinese literary circle, and the current president is Li Linlin, the daughter of Li Lao.

Due to Li Lao's transcendent position in the literary world, this magazine often publishes some bold novels.

Even if there is a problem with the censorship, it will be let go for the sake of Li Lao's face, and many avant-garde novelists have taken "Hundred Flowers" as their position to publish their novels.

Since Mu Zhiyuan said so, it means that there is no problem for "Alive" to be published in "Hundred Flowers" magazine.

On the way back, Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan chatted casually.

"Brother Feng and Brother Jiang are still arguing?" Mu Shanshan said curiously, "When I watched movies before, I felt that Brother Jiang didn't look like an intellectual, but he was a little arrogant, and this temper was stubborn enough." ”

"He's just too strong in control, and he always thinks that everything will be according to his will. Lin Zixuan concluded, "You wait and see, he will definitely be a director in the future, otherwise he will suffocate him." ”

"Neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, and some of you crew are annoyed. Mu Shanshan shook her head and said.

"I'm going to find an actress who can play against him, otherwise I won't be able to stop him. Lin Zixuan decided.

This is the unanimous opinion of him and Feng Xiaogang, you must find an actress with the same strong aura, otherwise the whole play will become Jiang Wen's performance alone, and it will be out of balance.

A good performance is one in which two actors inspire each other, not one crushes the other.

"The famous actresses in our country have all gone to foreign countries, and you can only look for them abroad. Mu Shanshan said with a smile.

This is the current situation of the Chinese film industry, driven by the tide of going abroad, actresses have become a member of the army of going abroad, as long as they are famous in China, they want to go international.

Just when Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang were worried about the actress, someone knocked on the door, and a pretty and charming young woman walked in.

"My name is Wang Ji, I really want to play Ah Chun, I think I have the ability to play her well. The young woman said confidently.

Wang Ji graduated from the Beijing Drama Academy, and after graduation, he was assigned to the Beijing Drama Theater and became a drama actor.

Driven by the desire to go abroad, she went to the United States in 1987, first studying English at a language training center affiliated with the University of Kentucky, and after some twists and turns, she entered the University of California, Los Angeles to study world art and culture.

During this period, she was in dire straits and could only rely on part-time jobs to survive.

When she returned to the capital for the New Year this time, she heard in the circle that there was a TV series that was going to be filmed in the United States, which told the story of living abroad, and she felt that she could play it well with her own experience.
