Chapter 171: Distress
In addition to Zhao Baogang and Sister Ding, there were also two middle-aged people sitting in the house, one with unkempt hair, wearing a pair of glasses, and not very well-dressed; Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Da Lun, come, let me introduce you, this is Zhang Yongcheng, a famous screenwriter of the Tianjin TV Drama Production Center, and this is Wang Jun, the director of the General Political Opera Troupe. ā
"Teacher Zhang, good!"
"Teacher Wang, good!"
Wang Dalun hurriedly shook hands. Zhang Yongcheng, he often mentioned it to Zhao Baogang, and the most handsome Wang Jun was the first time he heard of it.
Zhang Yongcheng's expression was indifferent, but Wang Jun was very enthusiastic, and praised his performance in "Don't Look Away", which made him a little embarrassed.
After sitting down, he found a thick stack of scripts on the coffee table, and there were seven big characters on the cover - like fog, rain and wind. He suddenly chuckled in his heart, this film was one of the few TV series he had seen from beginning to end in his previous life, and it was extremely popular back then, there were many stars in it, Lu Yi, Zhou Xun, Luo Haiqi, Zhao Wei's male classmate Kun'er, or Li Xiaoran, who once became his dream lover.
But at the same time, he also secretly moved in his heart, saying that there are a lot of roles in this TV series, and there are really roles suitable for girlfriends.
"Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" is Zhang Yongcheng's original work, and the screenwriter is also personally checked by him, which is said to have lasted more than a year, and it was just finalized not long ago. The structure of this drama is somewhat similar to the first part of Huanzhu, the main line is Shuangdan Twins, and there is a large number of big matches.
Wang Dalun listened to their conversation, wondering in his heart when he would have the opportunity to recommend his girlfriend to Zhao Baogang, as for himself, it is estimated that the male protagonist will definitely not be able to stand it, at most it will be a big match.
Sure enough, Zhao Baogang handed over a plot synopsis and character introduction: "Da Lun, you are also assigned a role in this play, you can take a look first." Oh, by the way, when will the movie you're making now be completed?"
"Well, the first phase of filming is over, and the second phase will be in May at the earliest. He thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty. "Platform" is to be completed in May according to the shooting plan, but he knows Lao Jia too well, and the script is only half filmed, if he doesn't shoot what he wants to show, he will never give up, and maybe it will be delayed at that time.
"Oh, it was about the same time. Your character is Alai, which is specially tailored for you by Yongcheng, so take a look at it first. Zhao Baogang nodded and said with a smile.
He still has an impression of the role of Alai, I remember that it seemed to be played by King Yan at that time, and he couldn't help but smile a little bitterly in his heart, before he had robbed King Yan's famous work, the role of Jianjun in "Never Look Away", and now he has snatched the role of Alai, I don't know when King Yan, who will be a smash hit in the future, will come out now.
This is a bit like her girlfriend, she robbed the role of Fan Xiaopang's golden lock, and now Fan Xiaopang, who will be known as the first beauty in the mainland and the first female star in the future, and claims to be a wealthy family, also seems to have not seen her bubbling up until now.
The role of Alai continues the style of Jianjun, the role of loyalty, infatuation, and thug, but the role is far more than Jianjun, he looks at the role introduction, and is almost second only to Chen Zikun and Li Yingqi as the male number three. In the words of Hong Kong films, it probably belongs to the kind of co-starring.
"The roles of Chen Zikun and Li Yingqi are decided, if Da Lun's side is fine, the actor side is almost the same. Now there are only actresses left, Du Xinyu I think Zhou Xun is more suitable, and there are a few more ...... By the way, when are you going to the magic capital?"
Just as Wang Dalun was reading the synopsis, he heard Wang Jun talk to Zhao Baogang about the selection of actors, and he quickly pricked up his ears to listen. Wang Jun is the executive director of this play.
"I'll be over in two days, how about his classmates introduced by Kun'er last time?" Zhao Baogang said.
"The image is no problem, I've also made TV series before, but it's just a cameo, and I can't see anything now. Wang Jun hesitated, as if he had some lack of confidence in the classmate introduced by Kun'er.
Wang Dalun listened to it next to him, and when the opportunity came, he hurriedly said: "Hey, brother, Mr. Wang, I want to take the liberty of asking, what do you think of my girlfriend?"
"Your friend is ......," Wang Jun was a little hindsight.
"Fan Ziyi is the golden lock in "Huanzhu Gege". Sister Ding helped explain beside her.
Zhao Baogang hesitated a little and said in a deep voice: "Does your girlfriend have a schedule?"
"There must be a schedule, and yesterday she was still telling me that if my brother has a suitable role here, tell me not to forget to recommend it for her, and she also said that her brother's play will be popular as soon as possible. Wang Dalun said with a smile, and patted Zhao Baogang's ass a little. No way, who told him to shoulder the weight of his girlfriend.
"She's still going to be popular, isn't she already popular now!" Zhao Baogang said with a smile, and he was really happy to hear it.
Wang Jun's eyes lit up, he looked at Zhao Baogang and said, "What do you think of Fan Lijun's role?"
"Okay!" Zhao Baogang thought for a moment and said. Then he raised his head and said to Wang Dalun: "Dalun, what do you think of the role of Fan Lijun?" You go back and ask Ziyi, if you want, let her agent contact your sister Ding, but the salary is not much!"
Hearing the role of Fan Lijun, Wang Dalun was a little disappointed in his heart, Shuangdan in the play, just now he heard Wang Jun say that he wanted to ask Zhou Xun to play Du Xinyu, and the candidate for the female number one Fang Ziyi seems to have not been decided, in comparison, Fan Lijun can only be regarded as the female No. 3 or the female No. 4.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask her. ā
"By the way, what do you think of the role of Alai?" Zhao Baogang said again.
"This is no problem, I was originally an actor in the company, and besides, Mr. Zhang specially tailored it for me, of course there is no problem. ā
ā¦ā¦
"Ahhh
After dinner, Wang Dalun lay on the sofa and read the script, although he had seen this film in his previous life, but it was very old, and the specific plot had long been forgotten.
After Fan Ziyi read the plot synopsis and character introduction, she was very dissatisfied with the role of Fan Lijun, no matter how she said that now with her coffee position, she is generally the female number one or the female number two, Fan Lijun, the female number three and the female number four, makes her feel very embarrassed, and she is also very unhappy in the introduction of the character.
"Hey, what did Sister Hua say?" Wang Dalun didn't entangle her with this, she had already analyzed it with her before, maybe she was not convinced when she heard Du Xinyu in Zhou Xun's performance.
"What else can I say? It's just that Teacher Baogang's play is rare, of course I have to act. Fan Ziyi pouted.
"Oh, then don't forget to ask Sister Hua to contact Sister Ding and sign the contract. After Wang Dalun finished speaking, he shifted his attention to the script again.
In fact, although he didn't win the role of Fang Ziyi before, he was quite disappointed, but after taking a closer look at the script, I feel that Fang Ziyi's girlfriend is really not very suitable. Fan Ziyi, whether it is image or acting skills, actor Fang Ziyi seems to be lacking a little.
And Du Xinyu, the eldest lady of the **** boss, has a special experience when she was young, which has created her complex personality, sometimes gloomy, sometimes unrestrained, sometimes tender like water, to put it mildly, it is neurotic, Wang Jun's vision is good, this kind of neurotic role that needs to test acting skills is really not a more suitable candidate than Zhou Xun.
As for Angel, that kind of melancholy, that kind of heart is higher than the sky and life is thinner than paper, and it is not a girlfriend at all. It's really only the role of Fan Lijun that is suitable for her.
Girlfriend, always like to play a little temperament, a little temper or something, Wang Dalun has finally summed up a way now, first comfort with a good voice, explain patiently, if you don't listen again, then let her, ignore the most fierce, at most kick him twice, pinch him twice, or bite him twice, anyway, he is ravaged, and he has long been used to it.
ā¦ā¦
In a small screening room of Beijing Film Studio, the sample film cut out of the first half of "Platform" is being placed on the small screen. This time, Lao Jia was very nimble, came back from Fenyang, and plunged into the cutting room of a simple semi-basement of Beijing Film Studio, and it took less than half a month to cut out the film.
Today is the second screening, in addition to Lao Jia, Gu Zheng, Wang Hongwei who revisited it, and the individual leaders of Beijing Film Studio, who were optimistic about this script, as well as director Tianzhuangzhuang. Wang Dalun didn't catch up for the first time, and when he received a call from Gu Zheng today, he also came over to take a look.
"The wheels flew and the whistle sounded, the train ran towards Shaoshan Mountain, crossed the river through the mountains, and faced the glow of thousands of ......"
At the beginning of the film, there is a commune auditorium where night is about to fall, and today is a ceremony for the village to electrify, and the village cadres make a declaration of gratitude to the party and the government, followed by a performance by the art troupe.
Yang Lina, who wore two pigtails, finished the curtain, followed by a strange singing voice, six people, lined up, each with their left hand on the shoulder of the little partner in front. At the head of the row is Liang Jingdong, who plays Zhang Jun, with a white handkerchief wrapped around his head, dressed as an old farmer. He stretched out his left hand straight, led his friends to sit on the small bench, hooked the stool leg with his right foot, took a step forward with his left foot, and moved forward with the stool with his right foot, just like that, singing and singing from behind the scenes.
Because this scene is the beginning of the movie, which is very important, Lao Jia also specially invited an old local director to guide them to rehearse according to the performance method of the special period.
The small stool is supposed to imitate the long train line, and the right hand has to make a circle on the side to show that the wheel is running fast. While singing, I have to make a whistle sound of "woo-" in my mouth.
All of you here are people who have lived through that era, and when they saw this scene, they burst into a burst of good-natured laughter. "The Train Runs to Shaoshan Mountain" was a very popular program at that time, just like today's running man or a good voice or something. The general idea is that the six image figures of workers, peasants, soldiers, scholars, businessmen and ethnic minorities went to Shaoshan Mountain as soon as possible, paid homage to the land of Longxing, and sang praises on the train.
Wang Dalun remembered that he was lined up behind Liang Jingdong, with a face of workman's clothes, six people hooking the small bench, came to the center of the stage, stopped, stepped over the bench, faced the stage, raised his hands to hold up the sun, and sang the last lyrics at the same time: "Hey!
Because it was a long lens, the place where the camera was set up at least forty or fifty meters away from the stage at that time, to be honest, I could hardly see my face on stage clearly, but I felt very stupid when I was shooting.
In fact, seeing this scene, the creators present were still quite emotional, because this open-air auditorium was a large auditorium of a commune built in the late special period on the outskirts of Fenyang, and the auditorium was completely damaged at that time, and it was used as a warehouse for piles of building materials by the commune, which was messy. The whole crew got started together, and it took a long time to clean it up.
And the capacity of this large hall is about 1,500 people, and now the whole village has more than 2,000 people. On that day, many fellow villagers were mobilized to be extras, and they stood in half of the auditorium, filming from 6 o'clock in the evening to 4 o'clock in the morning, and everyone was cold enough.
The projector rustled, everyone watched with bated breath, Wang Dalun watched while thinking about the bits and pieces of the shooting in his mind, don't look at Lao Jia's grinding when filming, the left one was inspired and the right one was inspired, but when you see the finished film, you will find that those retained clips are so wonderful. To be honest, when he watched "Xiao Wu", he didn't feel anything, and he was still a little puzzled that he could even win an award in Berlin, but now he really admires Lao Jia.
The eighty-minute film didn't feel long at all, and when it came to an abrupt end at the end, you could hear the eldest grandman exhale, which should feel very heavy, as if he had returned to that era.
In addition to fully affirming the film, the individual leaders of Beijing Film Studio and Director Zhuang Zhuang also expressed deep regret, but what can they say?
"Is there any smoke?"
After sending the gang away, Lao Jia came back and sat down beside him and asked for a cigarette.
"There is news in France that they are contacting the selection of the Cannes Film Festival, and there is a chance that they may be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival. Lao Jia exhaled a puff of smoke and said.
"This is a good thing!" Wang Dalun was surprised when he heard it.
"Platform", like "East Palace and West Palace", received a grant of 700,000 francs from the French National Film Center, led by the French Ministry of Culture and Foreign Affairs. "East Palace and West Palace" was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival that year, if "Platform" was also shortlisted, it would be the best promotion for the film in the future commercially, if it wins another award or something, tsk, then ......
But he immediately thought that the Cannes Film Festival would open in May, and the filming of the film would be completed in May at the earliest, and the film would be cut in the later stage.
"Is it too late?"
"yes, I'm thinking about that right now. Lao Jia said distressedly, "If you really want to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, the film must be completed one month before the opening, which is difficult!"
He sighed deeply.
"And what are you going to do?"
"Let's wait until there's news!" )
