The two games in the afternoon are still the rivalry between Wang Dalun and Zhao Baogang. Ning Jing, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was not in place, and Brother Bao was in a hurry, so Chen Daming tried his best to advance Brother Bao's role.

The two scenes in the afternoon were not as smooth as in the morning, and there were several NGs, the main problem was that in addition to some problems with the cooperation between the two, there was also that Brother Bao was stimulated in the morning, and he was a little too strong in the afternoon.

Brother Bao also had a night scene in the evening, and the actress who played Lu Qilin's wife Wei Yan in the play also came to the set in the afternoon. looks much younger than Brother Bao, very beautiful, with long legs, but she is a not very popular actor, at least Wang Dalun has never heard of her name. It's just that this actress named Wang Jinghua looks very familiar to him, but he can't remember it for a while.

In the past, when filming in other places, it was basically two points and one line on the set and the hotel. The advantage of filming in the capital is that you can go home anytime and anywhere after filming the day's scenes.

Although Fan Ziyi's "Give Me a Mother" this time is a story that takes place in Shanghai, their crew is still very humane, considering that most of the actors and crew members live in Beijing, so the indoor scenes are arranged to be filmed in the studios in Beijing.

Hou Shasha never called, indicating that her girlfriend's stomach was fine. Wang Dalun drove home after filming in the afternoon, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw his girlfriend nestled on the sofa and reading the script while eating potato chips.

"You're back so early?" he couldn't help but be surprised.

"I didn't have a play today, and I came back after attending the start-up press conference in the morning. ”

"Then how did you solve the problem of lunch?

"It doesn't hurt anymore. The crew had a dinner party at noon, and it was noisy, but I didn't participate, so I casually dealt with Sasha outside. Hey, did you shoot well today?"

"Well, it went well. Thinking of Brother Bao's angry appearance of being abused by himself today, he was very happy, and his face was full of smiles.

"Yo yo yo, look at you, isn't it fun to film with Ning Jing?" Fan Ziyi said with an unhappy face.

In the afternoon, she just received a call from Sister Hua, saying that it was the role of Xiaozhuang in "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", and she had little hope, and Director You Xiaogang still preferred Ning Jing to play the role. Although it hasn't been finalized yet, she is basically out of the picture.

"No, Ning Jing hasn't joined the group yet, it's been my rivalry with Brother Bao these days. Wang Dalun explained, walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to take a look, there were all frozen meat dishes in the refrigerator, but there were no vegetables.

"You don't call in advance when you get home early, or I'll buy some food and come back." What about dinner?"

"Let's go out to eat, let's go eat Japanese food. Although Fan Ziyi was a little emotional, it didn't prevent her from eating.

Now with her coffee position, one more and one less role doesn't have much impact, but she is just a little unconvinced, but she definitely can't stand it if she misses a meal.

"You still have an unwell stomach in the morning, and you still want to eat sashimi?" Wang Dalun said.

Fan Ziyi hurriedly said: "It's okay, it'll be fine after pulling it off in the morning." At most, I don't eat raw, but I told you I know there's one where the roast beef and roast saury are particularly good, so let's go there, shall we?"

"Okay, it's almost time, you change your clothes, let's go. ”

I'm in a particularly good mood today, and I should go out to eat occasionally with my girlfriend.

"Okay!" Fan Ziyi threw away the potato chips in her hand, quickly got up from the sofa, picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and asked her boyfriend, "Why don't you call Sister Ling?"

Thinking that Liu Ling was still in the pain of falling out of love, Wang Dalun nodded and said, "You tell her that we will go over to pick her up later." ”

Speaking of Liu Ling, Wang Dalun couldn't help but have a headache, his godsister, when she graduated from film school, her starting point was higher than others. A few years ago, he played Yan Wenqing, the big embezzler in "Home Without a Soul", and he is well-known to the audience for his proper acting skills. It's a pity that for the sake of an old man, he didn't cherish his future, except for the year before last when he cooperated with Hu Jun to make a movie "Guns on the Plains", he didn't take over the drama seriously, and several TV series were cameos.

Now it's okay, after the heat passes, no one is looking for her to film, and she feels sorry for herself at home alone. A few days ago, he also received a call from the old couple of the Liu family, saying that he was asking him to help persuade him.

In fact, the best way for an actor to get rid of pain is to film, transfer the pain, and immerse his emotions into the role. But it's a problem that she can't get the play now, in Wang Dalun's memory, except for the Jiang Dehua in "Parents' Love", he really can't remember what other roles Liu Ling has played.

Wait, "Parents Love......

He slapped his thigh and suddenly remembered that the actress named Wang Jinghua he met today was not the one who played Meiting's sister-in-law in "Parents Love".

Think about the long legs I saw today, and then think about the rich sister-in-law in "Parents Love", this woman really can't be fat, and if she is fat, she can't look at it. No wonder my girlfriend is a little fatter and clamoring to lose weight.

"What are you doing?" Fan Ziyi came out of the bedroom with his clothes, and was surprised to see him patting his thigh there.

"Oh, it's fine. He hurriedly said.

"Shocked. Fan Ziyi couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes.

However, thinking of Liu Ling's matter, Wang Dalun thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but say to his girlfriend who was putting on makeup in front of the mirror: "What do you think about letting Sister Ling sign Sister Hua? ”

Fan Ziyi stopped the eyebrow pencil in her hand and muttered, "I still have to ask Sister Hua about this matter and hear what she means." ”

After all, Wang Jinhua is no longer what it used to be, and not all artists accept it.

"That's okay, then you hurry up and ask, you can't see her hanging like this all the time!" Wang Dalun sighed.

"I know, I'll call and ask Sister Hua later. ”

…………

I don't know if Sister Hua is looking at Fan Ziyi's face or if she is optimistic about Liu Ling's strength, but in short, she agreed to the phone call. During the meal, Fan Ziyi told Liu Ling the news, and Liu Ling was so happy that she was drunk unconsciously.

Looking at her appearance, Wang Dalun felt very sad, but no matter what, he finally saw her change. In fact, whether it is a woman or a man, as long as it is a human being, what he pursues is nothing more than two points: love and career. Since she has lost her love, let's strive to achieve something in her career, after all, she also had a short period of small glory.

The agreement was negotiated very smoothly, and within a few days, Liu Ling officially signed a contract with Huayi Brothers. Of course, with Liu Ling's coffee position now, there is no possibility of a grand press conference, just take a photo and send it to the official website when signing the contract, and at the same time issue a press release.

Fortunately, Sister Hua is very powerful, and not long after signing the contract, she found a role in a TV series for Liu Ling, although it is only a supporting role, it is better to have a job than to stay at home alone and want to be cranky. Wang Dalun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Manhole Cover" is in full swing these days. was teased by him twice in a row, Brother Bao was really ruthless this time, so the rivalry between the two continued to burst out with sparks, which surprised Chen Daming, and the filming progress was much faster.

Although this movie is a comedy full of black humor, from the perspective of the plot style, it is very similar to "Something to Say" filmed by Director Zhang a few years ago. But Wang Dalun never played the role of Tang Daxing as a comedy character, in his opinion, the comedy elements on Tang Daxing are actually the characteristics of this character.

For example, the kind of high-pitched confessional quotations that seem to others to be such a thing have long penetrated into the bones of a person who has just been released from prison after serving seven years in prison, and it is precisely a knee-jerk reaction, not deliberately funny.

is like Jiang Wen's performance in "Something to Say", Uncle Ge in "Endless", and the dead runner in "The King of Comedy", in short, it is right to act in comedy as a drama. Instead of giggling, it's just funny for the sake of being funny, and then it's a low-level performance.

When he saw Zhu Wen again, Wang Dalun was startled.

The creature had a few millimeters of burrs like him, but the whole person was as black as an African, but he looked extraordinarily energetic.

"I'm ready to make a new movie. ”

"Oh, that's the South of the Clouds you said last time?"

Since "Seafood" stood out from the more than 1,000 films registered for the Cannes International Film Festival and was shortlisted for the "Special Screening Unit", Zhu Wen has become popular in China, and it is natural that he is named one of the leading figures of China's sixth generation of directors.

Because of his role as a screenwriter, he was originally considered an insider, but after returning from Cannes, he was invited to make movies, TV series, and even famous singers asked him to shoot MVs. But he refused all of them and ran to Yunnan with his girlfriend, and this time it took half a year.

Wang Dalun knew very early on that Zhu Wen was particularly fond of Yunnan, and when he was still a poet, he once wrote a poem "Going to Yunnan". When he left, he told Wang Dalun that he was going to Yunnan to collect wind and write a script about the south of Caiyun, and then shoot it.

"It's not the 'South of the Clouds', it's the 'South of the Clouds'. Zhu Wen corrected, "Usually we say 'the south of the clouds', but I think the 'south of the clouds' has a cleaner sense of language, and has a distant, mysterious, elegant, and poetic temperament......"

"Gotta get it, is the script written?

Wang Dalun found that he felt very tired talking to them as cultural people, and he was poetic, lyrical, and feeling at every turn.

"The script has just begun, but the whole story is already in the frame. It is about an old man who has lived in the north all his life, and when he was young, he had an opportunity to work in Yunnan, but he missed it. Decades have passed, his wife has passed away, his children have grown up, and he himself has retired, so he wants to go to Yunnan to have a look. I want to let this old man appreciate the scenery of Yunnan that he has been longing for for a long time through a special perspective, and at the same time have a deeper understanding of life. ”

Saying that, Zhu Wen smiled again: "Hey, let me tell you, Century Hero has a plan to support young directors, they talked to me, I talked to them about my idea, and they are very willing to invest." ”

Wang Dalun originally thought that Zhu Wen asked him to talk about the new movie, which was nothing more than money and acting. I didn't expect it to be a movie with the elderly as the protagonist, and I don't have to worry about investment.

Thinking about it, today's Zhu Wen is no longer the director who couldn't find money with the script last year, and he is now also famous and surnamed, just like Lao Jia back then, others are rushing to invest in his movies.

He has also heard of the company Century Hero, which is said to be a film company with a foreign background, in short, it is a very powerful one.

"Then why are you looking for me this year?" Wang Dalun said.

To be honest, he has been very busy recently, and when he received a call from Zhu Wen, he forced out half a day.

"I didn't come to you today because of this, "Seafood" was shortlisted for the competition unit of the Nantes Three Continents International Film Festival, do you know?"

"Yes, Jacob called me a while ago to tell me. ”

"Next week, the 25th, it's going to open, and you'll have to come with me. Zhu Wen looked at him and said.

Wang Dalun frowned and said, "Where am I free? I'm filming." ”

"The last time I was shortlisted for Cannes, because it was a non-competition unit, I couldn't award it, so I didn't call you. But this time is different, this time it's a serious competition unit, and I think you have a good chance of winning the prize. Zhu Wen was very serious when he spoke, and he didn't mean to joke at all.

Wang Dalun was silent, who doesn't want to win awards! He has participated in film festivals, including the three major European festivals, but every time he is an accompaniment, he has no confidence in it.

Besides, last time "Platform" was also shortlisted for the Nantes Tricontinentals Film Festival, Lao Jia not only won the best director, but also won the highest award - the Golden Balloon Award, and he still passed by the best actor.

Zhu Wen analyzed with him: "You think that last year's "Platform" you played won the award, and this year's "Seafood" was shortlisted, and you are the protagonist in two consecutive movies, and it is very promising to win the award." In addition, after all, you also invest in our movie, if it wins the award, the box office will definitely be higher, which is related to future dividends. I think you should still go.

Besides, Nantes is not like Cannes which takes half a month, they are only a week there, and counting the time on the road, it will only take ten days at most. Why don't you take a leave of absence from the crew?"

After listening to Zhu Wen's persuasion, Wang Dalun was a little tempted.

In addition to the hope of winning awards, the more important thing is the box office of the film in Europe, how to say that he is now a familiar face in the European art film circle, and going to the film festival can increase his weight and popularity.

"It's been half a year, do you know how much the box office of "Seafood" is now?" Wang Dalun asked angrily.

Zhu Wen shook his head and said: "I heard Jacob say that the box office in France is okay, but several other countries in Europe are said to be very average, and the specific figures have not yet come out, but it is definitely not a problem to save the capital." ”

Also, the total investment of "Seafood" is only one million yuan, which is equivalent to a little more than 120,000 US dollars, which is a small cost among small costs, as long as all the box offices in Europe add up to 500,000 US dollars, the entire investment can be recovered, and one million US dollars can double the profit. For example, the filming cost of "Xiao Wu" that year was 200,000 yuan, counting the cost of participating in the film festival and publicity in the later stage, it was no more than 500,000 yuan, and the profit increased I don't know how many times, Lao Jia and Jacob both made money.

Thinking of this, Wang Dalun couldn't help but feel a little excited, what he lacked most now was money. The townhouse in Wuzhuang, Hangzhou, has been bought, and the loan is 4 million, and the 20-year loan will be 25,000 per month. This is not counting the decoration in the future, if it is according to the standards of He Cong's new house, it will at least be a million upwards. Now the economic pressure of the two is not ordinarily large, if the profits of "Seafood" can really be doubled, it will definitely be a surprise.

He didn't give Zhu Wen an answer on the spot, and discussed it with the company's boss Brother Bao first. From Zhao Baogang's point of view, of course, it is a strong support, Wang Dalun is now undoubtedly a signboard of the company, if it really wins, it will definitely be a big rise for the company.

As for the crew, Ning Jing is about to join the crew, and the filming schedule is much more selective, as long as some appropriate modifications are made and his role is pushed back as much as possible, ten days can be squeezed out.
