Chapter 100: The Motorcycle's Driver and the Policewoman
"What, let me make a cameo? No, no, how can I be free! ”
Wang Dalun's head shook like a rattle. He pointed to the pile of old high account books and all kinds of information on the table, and said, "I said big brother, how busy do you think I am?" Tomorrow's announcement hasn't been finished yet, so how can I have time to make a cameo? ”
Zhang Yuan rubbed his hands and smiled: "Yes, I know that you are busy, and you are the hardest working one in the crew." I see all this, yesterday I also told Ning Dai on the phone, Da Lun, this kid is really good, not only is there nothing to say, but the whole crew is in order, and he can spend a little money to do big things, so he ......is all talented."
"Gotta get it, you don't give me this set again, isn't it just the driver of Yimo, a few lines of words, can't you find a cameo? Besides, there are motorcycle drivers all over the street, and you can just go to the street and pull one up, which makes it more realistic. ”
As the production director and assistant director, Wang Dalun of course knows what roles are still missing in the crew, and he doesn't want to make a cameo appearance as the driver of this motorcycle. On the other hand, he felt that the role of the driver in the play was too fake, and he was not in the mood at all for the cameo role.
"That's okay! You think making movies is a trick, no. ”
Zhang Yuan and Lao Jia are two extremes, Lao Jia likes to use ordinary people with no acting experience, in his words, that is real, what he wants is a real movie. Although Zhang Yuan's filming also emphasizes reality, his concept and role must be created by an actor, not every cat or dog can make a movie.
"I've seen a few actors before who are not suitable, you said that if you go back to the capital to find it now, this back and forth, this cost, not only affects the filming process, but also wastes money. So I think the crew can digest it by itself, and it seems that you are the most suitable. Zhang Yuan looked sad, and his words were very sincere.
Zhang Yuan also knows Wang Dalun very well, don't look at this kid's nonsense, in fact, he is very soft-hearted, and he knows how to repay his kindness, the reason why Zhang Yuan trusts him so much is that he values him.
Sure enough, Wang Dalun was silent, he knew that Zhang Yuan was very hypocritical in choosing actors, sometimes you may think that he was particularly sloppy, just like when Zhang Yuan picked him up from the street to play the male number one, in his words, it is feeling, just feel right. But sometimes he is very strict, even if it is a small supporting role, he is very serious.
But his main consideration is the cost, going back to the capital to pick actors, the travel fee, the room fee, plus the salary or something, it will definitely cost tens of thousands. Now his funds are already stretched, and he will overspend if he is not careful. It's not impossible for him to squeeze out a little time for a cameo.
"It's okay for you to let me make a cameo, but you'll have to change my lines." He said.
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Do you also think that the lines of Namo's driver are fake, and you feel that the whole child is a living Lei Feng?" ”
"Not really!" As soon as Wang Dalun looked at Zhang Yuan's appearance, he understood very well that this kind of line should not appear in his movie at all, no need to ask, it must be the result of compromise with the relevant departments, otherwise how could this script have been repeatedly reviewed for seven months and revised countless times. It's all about to change beyond recognition.
You said that the driver of a motorcycle, this Chinese New Year's Eve night came out to work, in order to earn two more money! In the evening, there are no buses, and it is still the Chinese New Year's Eve, just his motorcycle, typical peak season, Spring Festival, seller's market. It is a common thing to increase the price, why the ticket price of the scenic spot will rise in the peak season, and why the price of the train ticket will also increase when it arrives in the Spring Festival, this is a reason. If you don't slaughter you fiercely, even if you are very polite, you actually charge half the price of the fare, dare to love you came out to learn Lei Feng on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, right?!
And the captain in the play is still wearing a police uniform. The driver of the motorcycle claims to be laid-off, in order to support the family to drive the motorcycle, this year like them at the bottom of the social motorcycle drivers, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, traffic police fines are commonplace, the most hated is probably those who wear big hats, how can they be given half price? To paraphrase the saying in the industry, this is called not living at all.
"So, I'm going to make two versions."
"Will this work? You've just been unblocked. Wang Dalun couldn't help but be a little worried. He knew what Zhang Yuan meant, it was nothing more than using the revised version when submitting it for review, and the foreign version was the same.
"It's fine!" Zhang Yuan said with a clear face, "There are more people who do this kind of thing, as long as no one reports it, it's OK!" ”
"Okay, it's just a show anyway. By the way, when will the actor who plays the cop arrive? According to the current filming progress, it will be her turn in less than a week. Wang Dalun nodded, and then asked.
Strictly speaking, this drama is a drama with two heroines, Liu Ling plays the prisoner Tao Lan, and the actress who plays the policeman is said to be an artist under the now well-known agent Sister Hua in the circle, and she has not come to the crew to report for a long time because she is filming a TV series. Zhang Yuan has only seen the photos, and the reason why he decided her so hastily was because of Sister Hua's face, but the most important thing was his sentence, that is, it felt right, so he used it.
But now Zhang Yuan is also scratching his head, he had already told Sister Hua about the schedule, but because the filming progress of this actress's TV series was not fast, it was delayed until now.
"You make a phone call and urge again, it's best to report to the crew two days in advance."
……
Capital. Aerodrome.
A bus stopped at the door of the departure of the international and Hong Kong and Macao countries, the door opened, and a group of people wearing red sun hats rushed down, and the leader waved a small flag in his hand to beckon everyone into the waiting hall.
There was a young girl in the team, with a ponytail, thick lips, and two clusters of plateau red on her face, which may be a little familiar at first glance, but this kind of girl with a typical northern appearance is all over the street, and it may be relatively pretty, but it can occasionally attract the attention of a few men.
Li Bingbing was a little excited, she had long wanted to open her eyes to capitalist society. used to be poor in the family, and when she was in college, the tuition fee of more than 10,000 yuan almost killed her dream of being an actor.
Fortunately, she has always worked hard, and the sketch she wrote and acted in during her school won the first prize in the country. In addition to paying off her mother's high medical bills and the family's debts for her schooling, she also has to fund her sister's tuition and living expenses.
At first, the pressure of life made her almost breathless, but after her hard work, her life finally improved, the family no longer worried about debts and her mother's medical expenses, and her sister also graduated from university and became a reporter.
Although her reputation is not obvious now, fortunately, after graduating from college last year, she signed a reliable agent, and Sister Hua contacted her a lot of jobs, in addition to making a cameo appearance as Princess Anle in the epic drama "Daming Palace Ci", she also starred in a TV series.
Now that the TV series has just been completed, she sneaked back to the capital without telling Sister Hua, just to be lazy for a while and go to Hong Kong to open her eyes. And she also heard that every year around Christmas is the discount season in Hong Kong, all kinds of world famous brands, cosmetics, jewelry, clothes, bags, compared to the domestic price is ridiculously cheap.
After working hard for so many years, she wants to relax and work hard, she even thinks about what to buy for her parents and what gifts to give to her sister, and she can't treat herself badly, cosmetics, jewelry, clothes, and bags.
Just as she was following the tour group, looking forward to walking on the streets of Hong Kong a few hours later, the mobile phone in her bag rang uninterestingly.
When she took out her phone and saw the name displayed on the screen, she secretly exclaimed: Oh no! It's Sister Hua's phone. She regretted that she didn't turn off her mobile phone when she went out, so when she arrived in Hong Kong, even if Sister Hua knew, there was nothing she could do.
But do you want to take it now?
She hesitated, but answered the phone anyway.
"Bingbing, the TV series is finished, have you returned to the capital?"
"I ...... I am back. "Because she came back without telling Sister Hua, her confidence is very insufficient.
Sister Hua said excitedly on the phone: "It's good to be back." I have good news for you, director Zhang Yuan's new film "Coming Home for the New Year" has taken a fancy to you and asked you to play a female policeman, you hurry up and pack up, let's go to the crew tomorrow to report. ”
The original good mood was washed away by this phone call all at once. For more than a year, she has been working almost every day, either filming or advertising, and filming is all supporting roles except for the heroine of the TV series that has just been filmed, although the money is not less, but she feels very tired at the moment, and she just wants to relax.
She subconsciously said: "This is impossible, I signed up for a tour group to Hong Kong, and now everyone is already at the airport, and they are about to board the plane." ”
Unexpectedly, she just said such a sentence, which made Sister Hua on the other end of the phone explode all of a sudden, and heard Sister Hua yelling at her on the phone: "Li Bingbing, I sue you, do you still want to be an actor?" If you don't want to, then you can just go home and get married and have children! Do you know that this is a play directed by Zhang Yuan! Do you know how many awards he has won internationally? This is his first movie after the ban was lifted, I have read the script, the female policeman in it is the female number two, no, it should also be regarded as the female number one, think about it, what a good opportunity this is, why do you ......"
Sister Hua reprimanded her on the phone, maybe it was the heroine of the movie who made her excited; Maybe it was Sister Hua's reprimand that made her realize that only people who are really good for her, such as parents, would say this about their children. Thinking of the bits and pieces of getting along with Sister Hua for more than a year, she suddenly smiled, interrupted Sister Hua's nagging on the phone, and said, "I'm not going to Hong Kong, I'll come back." ”
Sister Hua on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect her change to be so fast, but Sister Hua immediately said: "Then you take a taxi and come directly to my house, let's go to the crew to report today." ”
This was obviously afraid that she would regret it, Li Bingbing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sister Hua, then you have to let me return the money for the trip, and then go home to pack up my things, right?" ”
"I'll help you with the money for travel. You don't have to go home to clean up, I have the sheets and quilts at home, I'll help you clean up now, you can take a taxi directly to my house. ”
