The fastest updated novel "Po! β
Wang Dalun opened a bottle of cold beer, filled two cups, rolled his eyes at the embarrassed man sitting opposite, and said, "You are not interesting enough, why are you not informing the brothers about such a big matter as marriage?" You are not afraid of wronging other people's brides. β
The embarrassed man took a full cup, took a sip of the beer foam that was about to overflow the mouth, and said: "That's it, I'm afraid of trouble, and she is also afraid of trouble, so it's a simple makeover, everyone is so busy, I won't trouble everyone." β
Wang Dalun glanced at him and said, "Then you are not afraid of trouble when making movies?" β
Lao Jia paused with the cup, raised his head, and the forehead lines on his forehead were obvious, and the unique mourning and charming bending was even worse.
For more than a year, he has aged a lot, but in fact he is not yet thirty.
"Drink, drink!"
The cup touched lightly, cooed, and the full cup dried.
Wang Dalun accompanied him for a drink, and seeing that he was not in a good mood, he asked carefully: "There is still no news over there?" β
Lao Jia shook his head bitterly.
"So what are you going to do? Do it yourself or wait? β
Lao Jia bowed his head and said nothing, took two mouthfuls of food, picked up the cup, found that the cup was empty, picked up the wine bottle again, poured himself half a glass, drank it, and said, "I want to wait a little longer." By the way, when the weather is a little cooler, are you free? β
"What?"
Wang Dalun opened two more bottles of wine, handed him one, and asked.
"I'm going to shoot a ten-minute sample, take it to them, and then work hard."
Wang Dalun groaned and asked, "Where to shoot and how much time does it take?" β
"In Pingyao, I have already placed, time, estimated to be a week."
Lao Jia Dao.
"Then I'm afraid I can't, I just took over a play, and it will start on the fifteenth of next month, and it is estimated that it will take two or three months to do anything, if you really want to start the film over there, I won't be able to catch up until at least November."
Wang Dalun shook his head and said.
Lao Jia seemed to be mentally prepared, and he was not reluctant, nodded and said, "Nacheng, then I can only let Jingdong make a cameo." β
Liang Jingdong, the art designer of the filming of "Xiao Wu", is quite fond of acting, and this time Lao Jia is ready to let him play the second male lead in the play.
"The heroine is the dance teacher from last time?"
Wang Dalun took out a cigarette, handed one to him, and asked.
Lao Jia grabbed the lighter he stretched out, lit a cigarette, and puffed out a puff of smoke, and finally said with some glow on his originally bitter face: "Yes, it's her, too. Former dance teacher at the Teachers College. When I went to their actor, I thought she was a student, but it turned out to be a teacher, this girl is very proud, but she has a lot of aura. β
"How's it going?"
Wang Dalun asked with interest, after all, if you want to play against her in the future, there is no male protagonist who doesn't want the heroine to be beautiful, except for the special role, of course.
"It's okay!"
Lao Jia raised his head to smoke, with a rare smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Anyway, I'm beautiful, and this girl is quite tall, about the same as your family." It's a good match to stand with you, I think if you are Cui Mingliang, then she should be Yin Ruijuan. β
Wang Dalun was quite surprised, this was the first time he heard Lao Jia comment on an actress with such a look, and the actress hadn't even filmed yet, so he couldn't help but quip: "You shouldn't be home, don't forget that you are no longer qualified now." β
"Don't talk nonsense, what is this! Come on, come on, drink! β
Lao Jia snuffed out the cigarette butt, picked up the cup and rolled his eyes.
However, listening to Wang Dalun's words, he suddenly felt a little regret in his heart.
That night, the two were drinking and chatting about movies, as for whether the film could be started in autumn, Wang Dalun didn't mention it, because although Lao Jia still had expectations for Beijing Film Studio, he had already begun to make preparations.
"Platform" is the first movie in the real sense in Lao Jia's eyes, so he is very cautious, but no matter what, he must still shoot it.
Now Wang Dalun can only hope that Director Xu's movie will not conflict with "Platform" in terms of timing.
As for the advertisement, it was originally a very far-fetched thing, and when he talked about the glowing look in his eyes in "Platform", he really couldn't bear to let a director full of literary and artistic feelings waste his talent on advertising, so he simply didn't even mention it.
β¦β¦ Sanlitun, Shangdao Coffee.
Although he made an appointment to meet someone, Wang Dalun still had lunch and came to the agreed cafΓ© at 12:50 in advance.
In fact, it is better to call it a restaurant than a cafΓ©.
As soon as I pushed the door in, I didn't smell the aroma of coffee, but asked from a restaurant.
Although it has just passed the meal, there are still many customers in the restaurant who are holding knives and forks and competing with the steaks on the plates, and eating high-end box lunches.
The taste is fragrant, and the food is also fragrant, Wang Dalun, who has just eaten lunch, still can't help but secrete a lot of saliva in his mouth.
This kind of cafΓ© is really a new thing in the restaurant, the environment is good, the service is quite good, at least the waiters in maid costumes are quite eye-catching.
"What do you want, sir?"
The waiter handed over the menu.
Wang Dalun took it and flipped through it at will, except for those steaks with a single order of seventy or eighty set menus of hundreds of steaks, which are five-yuan boxed lunches outside, and if you change it to wood, it is not like wood, and plastic is not like plastic boxes, and it will cost twenty or thirty at every turn.
Even the tea is much more expensive than the average teahouse.
"I'll wait for someone, let's talk about it later."
Wang Dalun closed the menu and returned it to the waiter.
"Yes, sir."
The waiter's vegetarian is good, still warm and polite, and he brought him a glass of lemon ice water when he finished, which is quite delicious.
He also pondered that when he went back, there were no lemons at the fruit stand, so it would be good to buy two and go home to slice them and soak them in water.
When he arrived at the appointed point, he didn't see anyone, and after waiting for ten minutes or so, he drank two glasses of water, and couldn't help but be a little impatient, before a taxi stopped at the door through the window, and Zeng Nianping and an old man in his early fifties got out of the car.
It is estimated that this old man is the Tai. What is the so-called godfather level of Xu Dao.
"Da Lun, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Zeng Nianping greeted Lao Yuan Dalun and explained: "The company is a little delayed, and there is still a traffic jam on the road!" β
"It's okay, it's okay, I've just arrived."
Wang Dalun stood up and said politely.
"This is the stage. Mr. Xu, chairman of the board of directors of the company. β
Zeng Nianping then introduced.
Xu ...... Uh, Mr. Xu, hello! β
"Hello, hello. I'm still used to being called a director. β
Xu Ligong shook hands with him very warmly.
And his accent is different from the average stage. Wan dialect is actually quite fluent in Beijing films.
After sitting down, Zeng Nianping held a menu and asked, "Da Lun, have you eaten?" β
"Uh, I've eaten it."
"We just finished a meeting, and we haven't even bothered to eat. Why don't you have a cup of coffee first? β
"No, just drink tea."
Wang Dalun hurriedly waved his hand and said, he really can't get used to drinking coffee.
Zeng Nianping helped him order a pot of Tieguanyin, measured it with Xu Ligong, and ordered two boxed lunches called business packages.
Before the lunch box came up, Xu Ligong got straight to the point and said: "Da Lun, I want to find a movie this time." β
"What movie?"
Xu Ligong said with a smile: "It is a love movie about two men and one woman in the thirties, with a relatively novel theme, very much love between men and women, and same-sex love." Da Lun, I won't tell you, I played "East Palace and West Palace", and I was particularly impressed by you. β
ββ¦β¦β
Wang Dalun has no prejudice against homosexuality, otherwise he would not have taken "East Palace and West Palace" at the beginning, but I don't know why, I always have a little pimple in my heart, and I feel that I seem to be wearing the label of a same-sex actor on my head.
However, he didn't refuse immediately, on the one hand, he took into account Zeng Nianping's face, and on the other hand, he still wanted to Ben, after all, he hadn't tried the Republic of China drama yet, so he was a little curious, so he said: "Can I do it first?" β
"The script is still in the revision stage, but I have an outline of the script here, you first"
Xu Ligong took out a few pieces of paper from his bag and handed them to him.
At this time, the boxed lunch they ordered also happened to come up, and while they were eating, Wang Dalun went through the outline.
As Xu Ligong said, the storyline is indeed quite novel, mainly about: In the thirties, Xu Shaodong, a cellist who lived and studied in the United States since childhood, returned to his homeland to prepare to marry his fiancΓ©e Ying'er, who had never been masked but had been in correspondence.
However, after following Ying'er in his own theater song "Night Run" and getting acquainted with its starring Lin Chong, he was deeply attracted by the traditional singing voice in Lin Chong's mouth when he studied Western music, and Xu Shaodong's emotional balance began to tilt more towards Lin Chong, and the relationship between Shaodong and Ying'er Lin Chong was quite delicate.
At first, he didn't dare to face up to the feelings between himself and Lin Chong, so because of a misunderstanding, he separated from Lin Chong on a snowy night, and this separation was both life and death.
Then rumors about him and Lin Chong came out, and he couldn't withstand the pressure of the world, and finally bid farewell to Ying'er and returned to the United States.
It's just that, from beginning to end, it is Ying'er who understands and understands the relationship between Shaodong and Lin Chong the most.
After World War II, Ying'er went to the United States to find Xu Shaodong, and when the two talked about Lin Chong's tragic experience of finding Xu Shaodong, Xu Shaodong understood that his heart would always have a place for Ying'er and Lin Chong.
One is a wife, the other is a lover...... He estimated that Xu Ligong was looking for the role he was playing might be Xu Shaodong, and sure enough, Xu Ligong, who was sitting opposite, finished eating a boxed lunch, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said: "The name of this play is "Night Run", I personally like this story, so I plan to direct it myself, I want to ask you to play Xu Shaodong." β
To be honest, like Xu Ligong, he also likes this story, but he is afraid of conflicts with Lao Jia's "Platform", but when he heard that the script of this play has not been completed, he couldn't help but ask with some expectation: "Director Xu, I don't know when your play will start?" β
Xu Ligong groaned slightly: "The latest will not be more than the end of the year, because there is also a scene in the play of American Chinatown, I plan to seize the Spring Festival at this point in time, this time is the most lively time in American Chinatown, which is very in line with the plot." β
There was still a conflict, Wang Dalun couldn't help but sigh secretly, and had to smile bitterly: "Director Xu, Director Zeng, I'm really embarrassed, I may not be able to shoot ......"
β¦β¦ Coming out of the cafΓ©, Wang Dalun Xu Ligong was very sorry just now, and he himself was very regretful, the story is really good, and the two leading actors don't care about being on stage. The bay or the mainland are quite well-known.
It's a pity that he has already promised Lao Jia, so he can't break his promise and get fat.
Xu Ligong and Zeng Nianping still had something to discuss, so he excused himself to leave first, and just got in the car when he received a call from Sister Ding.
"Da Lun, do you want to stop thinking about it? I heard Director Zeng say that this drama is a good play, maybe it can win the Golden Horse Award, and the salary they offer is also quite high. β
"I'm sorry, Sister Ding. It's just that Lao Jia's drama was said to be good last year, and I really can't push it. β
Wang Dalun knew that he had pushed this drama, and the company also had losses, at least this part of the commission was gone.
But in the drama "Platform", when Zhao Baogang asked him to sign a contract, he had already said it, so he was still able to refuse with confidence.
Sister Ding was silent on the phone for a while, and couldn't help but say with some regret: "That's a pity." β
said, and then said: "Oh yes, I received a call in the morning, saying that I want to ask you to endorse the cabinet, and I told you that it is okay, is there such a thing?" β
"There's such a thing. When I was buying furniture yesterday, I happened to run into it, did you negotiate? β
Wang Dalun also remembered this and hurriedly said.
The girl at home is still thinking about making money for advertising.
Sister Ding said: "The negotiation is settled, I opened the price of 120,000 yuan a year for the endorsement, but I didn't expect the other party to agree to a sip of wine, and ask me your mobile phone number, I was afraid that this matter was fake, so your phone number was not given to him, and he was asked to come over tomorrow to sign the contract." β
Boss Yao really doesn't know the market, with his current endorsement value, at most seven or eight years a year, no more than 100,000 at most, Sister Ding opened 120,000, that fraction is clearly his price, but I didn't expect him to really agree.
"This may be true, this boss wants to find a celebrity, he can't find a suitable one for a while, and he has no way, he happened to meet me yesterday, and he wanted to talk to me about endorsements, so I gave him your phone."
Sister Ding smiled: "I said, how can this person have my phone." Okay, then I'll wait for him to come over tomorrow to sign the contract. β
Hanging up Sister Ding's phone, he thought about it, took out the business card that Boss Yao stuffed to him yesterday from his pocket, and dialed the mobile phone number on it.
"Boss Yao, I'm Wang Dalun, are you sure you want to ask me to endorse and shoot commercials?"
He also wanted to finalize it.
"That's right, that's right. Mr. Wang, I have negotiated with your agent in the morning, 120,000 yuan a year is no problem, we have made an appointment, and we will sign the contract tomorrow. Mr. Wang, I still have to ask you for the matter of shooting advertisements, according to the price we agreed yesterday, in addition to the endorsement fee of 120,000, there are 180,000 yuan, you must help. β
After receiving Wang Dalun's call, Boss Yao was very surprised, and finally pleaded.
"Okay, then I'll help you ask about this."
