Chapter 150: The head of the Eight Golden Hairpins, the attack is even more ruthless
The judo hall of the Ruilin Pavilion only opened this month, and Xu Teng pondered this matter before going to the United States to film, and invited a runner-up in the women's judo 62kg class of the National Games to be the head coach, and it took three months to train six beautiful women to coach.
165CM/C cup is two basic conditions, the more beautiful the better, the better the skill, you can't always be soft by the bosses, you have to be soft bosses.
Unexpectedly, business was very good.
Of course, Seilin Pavilion doesn't care about profits, two groups of guests every day, one group plays gambling in the entertainment area, one group plays judo in the health area, and when they are tired of playing, they go to the sauna massage SPA.
The bar is quiet.
When Director Zhang came over, Zhang Ziyi's beauties also happened to come over, and they also brought a new friend, every actress who can stand firm has her own lineup of girlfriends, and in the past few days, Gao Yuanyuan has always had Jia Jingwen's help.
Zhang Ziyi endured it for a few days and finally fought back, bringing a real good girlfriend, Zeng Quinoa, a classmate of Chinese opera, to play, which is really amazing.
Zeng Quinoa is not only beautiful, but also Gao Yuanyuan's sworn enemy of the same type, the two have similar facial features, temperament and figure, but Zeng Quinoa is between bold and charming, with an intellectual beauty, and Gao Yuanyuan is between freshness and beauty.
This is the advantage of professional actresses, compared to the girlfriend lineup, all female classmates are stars.
Because it was the first time to meet, after Zhang Ziyi introduced Xu Teng, Xu Teng and Zeng Quinoa shook hands and chatted briefly.
Xu Teng and Director Zhang Yimou still have something to talk about privately, just right, President Wu Xiaoyin of Shenzhou Media and Mei Jiali (He Jiali, from this chapter, in order to avoid accidents, the surname He was changed to Mei, and He Jiali was changed to Mei Jiali) also came over, Xu Teng asked them to chat first, went to the small room with Director Zhang, and asked people to bring the set of rain open-air star beam pots sent by Director Zhang.
The two made a pot of tea, took a stack of A4 paper and the script of "Hero", re-analyzed the script and various sets of shots, and calculated the idea of a second reshoot.
The core theme of the success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is to explore the repression of the individual by Eastern cultural traditions, and the necessity of this repression.
After the first reshoot of "Hero", the exploration of individual fate is still not deep enough.
The 2002 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film was "Borderlands", which was filmed in the Bosnian War, in which a Bosnian soldier and a Serbian soldier are trapped in a trench, facing each other's capture, surrender, life and death.
In addition to the advantages of the subject matter, the most important point is that this is a MGM film, and MGM is responsible for promotion and canvassing.
The Oscars also have to canvass for votes, the price is expensive, and a lot of lobbying and advertising recommendations have a chance to be shortlisted, unless this work is really good, such as "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", but whether you can win the award in the end really depends on luck.
Xu Teng's judgment now is very simple, if "Hero" wants to be nominated after a reshoot, the difficulty is very low, and it is easy to be shortlisted, but if you want to win the award, the gap is a bit big.
I want to win a prize.
Xu Teng's judgment is that the camera should focus on the couple played by Liang Chaowei and Zhang Yanyu, and change the historical martial arts drama into a romantic drama in the historical background, both of them are in the depression of oriental culture, self-sacrifice, on the one hand, the moral environment restricts them and asks them to sacrifice themselves, on the other hand, their inner pursuit of self.
Their sacrifices and flashes eventually made the course of history, a metaphor for the conflict of different anti-war ideas, and they are just two nameless people in the history of the nation, two small people, people similar to them, and many more.
The second reshoot of "Hero" can only do this, because Cheng Daoming and Jet Li's schedules cannot be coordinated at all, and the last time they were willing to turn down the film appointment and go back to make up the film, it was already very affectionate to Lao Mouzi.
Liang Chaowei and Zhang Yanyu have no problem here, the only problem is that the salary has to be recalculated, which is actually not a problem.
Xu Teng and Director Zhang drank tea and chatted slowly, he also had a Jianyi, that is, to get two edited versions, one is watched by domestic audiences, because they are very familiar with this history, many things do not need to be explained in detail, and the other is watched by overseas audiences, and they must be explained more specifically.
He set up a director to go to the northwest to shoot the starry sky, and used a very beautiful sky to metaphorize a macro theme similar to "When the Stars of Mankind Shine", in the long river of history, countless heroes, countless geniuses, countless self-sacrificing people, achieved the fate of history.
He roughly hopes to achieve such an effect, that is, after watching this movie, overseas audiences can understand the connotation and characteristics of this oriental nation, and why this nation is like this, including words, songs and dances, music, and philosophy, all of which must be reflected, just like opening a door and a window, allowing foreigners to reinterpret this nation, and there must be a shock of re-understanding.
From this point of view, the overly exaggerated action shots shot by Director Zhang actually weaken the artistic value of the film itself.
Xu Teng's meaning is very simple, take a gamble, even if it is a shot that we think is cool and beautiful, as long as it is not beneficial to the story of the film, it is not beneficial to the artistry, as long as it is exaggerated, the overseas version will not use these shots.
The time for the second re-shoot is two months, and on Valentine's Day in February next year, the film will be scheduled overseas and in the mainland at the same time.
Xu Teng is expected to come up with $10 million for reshoots and special effects production, because he has already spent 400 million, and it is no problem to spend another 80 million.
These are Xu Teng's construction and requirements, anyway, there is no problem with the funds, it depends on whether Zhang Yimou is willing to do it again, after all, it is still very hard.
In the past, it was Zhang Yimou who squeezed other people's inspiration, because his requirements were high, and others could only obey, but now it is the other way around, Xu Teng's requirements are higher than him, and Xu Teng is squeezing Zhang Dao's inspiration.
Xu Teng is now a producer, he doesn't care about spending 80 million more, the requirements are very clear, Director Zhang is the director, can he find a way to do it.
This relationship is completely turned upside down.
"Great writer, I replace wine with tea, and I salute you with such an attitude, I toast you." Zhang Yimou didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to do it, and he had to renegotiate with his crew team after he went back, hold a few discussion meetings, and discuss it repeatedly.
According to Xu Teng's requirements, his team is not good enough, and he has to find another way to find someone.
The two continued to drink a few cups of tea and talked for another half an hour, roughly negotiating a lot of details, the time was still very tight, Zhang Yimou first said goodbye and returned to Beijing Film Studio, and went through all the shots again overnight.
Xu Teng went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he happened to meet Zeng Quinoa.
"Actually, I bought these novels of yours a long time ago, and I haven't read them." Zeng Quinoa was not embarrassed, his smile was gentle and intellectual, "I'm just so handsome and cute for you, I'll go back and read it again in the evening." ”
"Cute?" Xu Teng hadn't heard this adjective for a long time, washed his hands, dried his hands, and then looked at Zeng Quinoa, "Actually, you are quite cute." ”
"Poor and unloved?" Zeng Quinoa laughed heartily at herself and reminded Xu Teng, "Don't you go and see Ziyi and Yuanyuan, they are already fighting in depth, and every sentence is a soft knife, and they are not being troubled by you." ”
"Wronged, I didn't do anything." Xu Teng was a little aggrieved, chatting with Zeng Quinoa in the corridor, and thought for a while, "Do you play 21 o'clock?" ”
"Okay, it's a casino, right?" Zeng Quinoa had only heard Zhang Ziyi say before she came that she could gamble here, and Mei Jiali gave them hundreds of thousands of chips to let them play once.
"You can't say that, it's just entertainment." Xu Teng smiled, accompanied Zeng Quinoa to the entertainment area, asked the foreman to take 300,000 chips to Zeng Quinoa, and told her the rules, "Chips can't be exchanged for money, you come to play, how many chips you want are directly booked." If you lose, you pay according to the drink fee, and if you win, we will get the bill free in the drink fee, or, you go to Macau to redeem huàn chips. ”
"Has anyone ever won?" Zeng Quinoa may be entertaining in a casino for the first time, and he got 300,000 chips, which feels quite a lot.
"There are many people who win a few small handfuls, and there are many people who lose big." Xu Teng also took 300,000 chips, ordered two glasses of cognac, and played with Zeng Quinoa, he actually came to play often, and sometimes he could play with Mei Jiali all day.
Less than half an hour.
Zeng Quinoa's 300,000 chips were gone, but Xu Teng won about 100,000 yuan.
Ordinary guests, at this time, will definitely continue to keep accounts, and take another amount of chips, Zeng Quinoa just smiled bitterly, "I knew that I would directly exchange the chips for drinks." ”
"There's no need, you and Ziyi come over to play, and the drinks are mine." Xu Teng still had 400,000 chips, and he continued to play, and Zeng Quinoa sat next to him and helped him look at the cards.
It turned out to be lucky.
Xu Teng won 700,000 chips all the way, and casually gave half to Zeng Quinoa and asked her, "What was your salary for the last film?" ”
"It's really miserable to say, I have only filmed two TV series since graduation, the first one is said to be the starring role, but in fact, each episode is only 6,000 in the account, and this one is a supporting role, and one episode is only a little more than 10,000." Zeng Quinoa couldn't cry or laugh, "The chips I lost just now are more than double the salary I paid for filming TV series in the past two years, and a small apartment outside the third ring road is gone." ”
She has always been regarded as the most beautiful one among Zhang Ziyi's female classmates in Chinese opera, but unfortunately she has not been too popular.
This kind of thing is called luck.
Xu Teng has watched "The Three Kingdoms Era" starring her, and feels that as an actress, it is very good, mainly because she has no good script, bad luck, and there should be no good agency to help fight for opportunities.
"If we have a chance in the future, we can see if there is a role suitable for you, don't worry." Xu Teng simply gave all the chips to Zeng Quinoa, sat at the gambling table and drank, thinking about his thoughts.
When Zeng Quinoa slowly lost all the 700,000 yuan, Xu Teng reminded her, "You lost 1 million today, and a two-bedroom house in the Third Ring Road is gone." ”
"Hah!" Zeng Quinoa smiled a little bitterly, accompanied Xu Teng to drink, thought about it, and asked him, "Do you still have ideals in your current life?" ”
"Why not? I have ideals, but I don't have a career, I don't like to work too hard, and most of the time I spend my time reading reports, writing novels, reading books, and letting others work according to my requirements. Xu Teng explained his state very clearly and asked Zeng Quinoa, "What about you, have ideals and dedication?" ”
"When I think about it, it seems to be similar to you, but not as talented as you." Zeng Quinoa is obviously very envious of Xu Teng's state of life, "Sometimes, I am as popular as Xiaoyi, and sometimes, I have no motivation, and I feel good now." ”
"Most people are like this, so the successful people are always in the minority." Xu Teng was a little embarrassed, Zhang Ziyi is really not a particularly beautiful girl, but she is really hardworking, very ambitious, and very good at thinking about roles.
Zeng Quinoa and Gao Yuanyuan are really beautiful, the only flaw of the two beauties is that their breasts are a little smaller, and Zeng Quinoa's other bigger flaw is the lack of that kind of hard work, Gao Yuanyuan is also very hardworking, and she is very good at taking the initiative to fight for what she wants.
"Have you ever thought that you would go to our school as a lecturer first, and then go to graduate school while you have a good opportunity to make a film...... I feel that your acting path is a bit narrow, because you are not very suitable for being a leading actress, as a supporting actress, you are too beautiful, I guess you don't like to play bad women, this is troublesome, right? Xu Teng just summed it up for her as a bystander, "Find a way to make a better investment, for example, a school district house in Beijing, so that you can live a worry-free life in the future and look at your artistic life calmly." ”
"Male god, are you so good to every girl?" Zeng Quinoa turned his face sideways and glanced at Xu Teng, feeling an indescribable sense of tacit understanding and synchronization, because the two people are really similar, they are both very leisurely types.
"In my range, willing to be friends, I usually don't treat anyone too badly, of course, beautiful women will always be a little more preferential, that's all." Xu Teng has nothing to be ashamed of, he is such a man.
"Alas, I kind of understand, why do Xiaoyi and Yuanyuan even have to fight so hard for the position of junior, don't look at them talking and laughing now, in fact, in this circle, fighting to such a point, I will really have a grudge and a grudge for the rest of my life." Zeng Quinoa obviously didn't want to fight so hard, quietly scratched the mouth of the wine glass with his fingertips, supported his cheek with one hand, and smiled bitterly, probably really understanding the two girls.
"Then it's troublesome, I'm still going to let Shenzhou Media grab their brokerage contract." Xu Teng was a little embarrassed, in this case, you can only choose one of the two, of course you don't have to choose, although Gao Yuanyuan is more beautiful, she is not at the same level as Zhang Ziyi, and the gap is very far.
"By the way, I heard that among the female students of your Chinese opera this year, there are eight golden hairpins, help introduce it, try to sign in to it, invest in films and TV series in the future, and use your own actors as much as possible." Xu Teng smiled a little reluctantly.
Their film and television company started a little late, and Huayi's side has officially started, or it won't be long before they have to fight each other with bloody blades at the tip of the knife and rob each other.
Four deniers and two ices.
Xu Teng has to grab at least half of it before she has a chance to wrestle her wrist, of course, no matter how it develops in the future, Zhang Ziyi must be the top brand, and good resources have to be released, but she still has to be restrained as much as possible on the issue of her personal feelings.
"Then I'll just change careers and become a broker." Zeng Quinoa smiled a little bitterly, and roughly understood what Xu Teng meant, even if she joined Shenzhou Media, she would not pay special attention to it, and of course she would not be treated badly.
"Yes, absolutely, you don't work hard enough, but you're easy to get along with and understand people." Xu Teng felt that this was a very good choice, "It just so happens that President Wu Xiaoyin is on our side, and when I am free tomorrow, I will talk to him privately." ”
"Okay." Zeng Quinoa felt a little at ease with what happened, drinking this glass of Hennessy, and he probably didn't know where tomorrow would be.
"Let's go back, it's not too late, I should go back to my room and sleep." Xu Teng looked at the time, it was already past ten o'clock, Mei Jiali was going to Canada tomorrow to inspect the West Coast oil company, he wanted to rest early and spend more time with his wife.
Or rather, he wanted Megarrie to accompany him more.
"Okay."
The two turned around to leave, only to find that several beauties were watching them at the door of the gaming hall, Mei Jiali was also there, as well as Zhang Ziyi, Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen, they really didn't expect that they would fight so hard, and in the end, it was Zeng Qu who lured the male god away silently.
Ruthless, you're ruthless.
Sure enough, she is worthy of being the most beautiful goddess of the 96th undergraduate class of Chinese opera, and she is really ruthless enough, and she quietly hooks up the male god to date alone.
"You're all here?" Zeng Quinoa could only smile bitterly, and looked at Zhang Ziyi a little apologetically, she didn't have any idea at all...... No, she had ideas, but she didn't want to actively fight for anything at all, so she came here with fate.
"You guys play, I'll go back and rest." Xu Teng didn't have anything to be embarrassed about, he just wanted to dodge Zhang Ziyi and Gao Yuanyuan's open guns and hidden knives, and play quietly by himself, just when he saw that Zeng Quinoa had nothing to do, he asked her to accompany him for a while.
He and Mae Carrie glanced at each other and motioned for them to leave early, there would be a big battle behind, Flash.
This time it was Mei Jiali's turn, and she couldn't help but look at Zeng Quinoa more, knowing that it was a little bad, gentle and intellectual, beautiful and elegant, this is the type that Xu Teng likes.
Xu Teng went back to the room first, went into the bathroom to take a hot bath, but was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Hua Lingling to fall asleep in the bathtub, and there was the book "When the Stars of Mankind Shine" and two bottles of Sauvignon Blanc by the bathtub, he drank half of the bottle, and the other bottle and a half were drunk by her
The clear warm water is bubbling with wisps of hot mist, and her graceful figure is exquisitely convex, which is also deliberately shaved, which is very attractive.
Xu Teng couldn't help but appreciate it for a moment, thought about it, softly took away the toothbrush, went back to the SPA area of the Ruilin Pavilion to shower, and returned to the room again after more than ten minutes, and found that Hua Lingling had put on black lace underwear and was wearing stockings, pouting a little resentfully, and didn't want to look at Xu Teng.
Oh!
Xu Teng realized that this group of girls was really willing to work hard in order to grab the position of the junior, and he obeyed.
If he is really a nineteen-year-old young man who doesn't know the hardships and hardships of the future, I don't know how many beauties he has won in the past few months, and how many beauties he has been on, fortunately, he has always been more sophisticated and soft.
He thought about it, Mei Jiali would go to Canada tomorrow, he and Wu Xiaoyin would talk for a morning, and he would return to Jiangzhou immediately in the afternoon.
These female stars are not fuel-efficient lamps, and Hua Lingling, a well-informed housekeeper who is a jade child, Xu Teng is more afraid of living alone in Ruilin Pavilion.
This is also to blame for playing too hard, he originally relied on his face and talent to eat, the big writer was forced to act in Hollywood action movies across borders, and when he returned to China, he played the ruthless role of a film investor.
Now in these years, it is not that he wants to untact female stars, but that female celebrities want to untact him.
The stronger the wave of female stars, the more powerful Hua Lingling, the dowry maid, will be, and she has to share the worries of the little master and build a second firewall.
Alas.
Xu Teng could only say that these beauties didn't consider his feelings, and he really couldn't play well now.
Mei Jiali didn't return for a long time, and it is estimated that she was playing sea mud SPA with Zhang Ziyi's group of fake girlfriends, having fun, and by the way, creating a zào space for her own wedding maid, which is really shameless.
Xu Teng can only text her and force her to come back quickly, it's no problem to be lenient with her husband, and she can't be as wide as this.
He knew that Mei Jiali was also a female goblin of the dark department, and she really wanted to play a threesome recently, but Xia Li was not there, so he wanted Hua Lingling, the dowry maid, to be replaced.
Are you kidding?
Xu Tengke has always been very plain and soft.
(PS again: The He family was changed to the Mei family, Mei Jiali, Hua Lingling, plum blossom master and servant.) (To be continued.) )
