Chapter 200: The Great Niece Is Here

The costumes have not been finalized, and even the actors have not been finalized, and the start date will inevitably have to be postponed, and the specific time depends on the preparations. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Such a result made Wang Dalun very difficult, the time was undecided, and he couldn't wait so endlessly. He could only tell Tianzhuang very frankly that he had to arrange the schedule after mid-May, and the time was about two months.

Grange is also a little difficult, "Spring in a Small Town" is his favorite film, but also his comeback after a decade of ban, he put all his enthusiasm and effort into the preparation of the beginning, and strive to achieve perfection. So although he is very optimistic about Wang Dalun playing Dai Liyan, he has not gone through the audition, and his heart is still a little bottomless, and he can't finalize the role with him.

However, fortunately, Wang Dalun's schedule is only about two months, and according to his current preparation progress, the time will be about the same in mid-to-late July.

"Director Sun, I'm sorry to bother you so late! I've decided that, and I'll take your play. ”

Sun Zhou still chuckled in his heart when he received a call from Wang Dalun at the beginning, he just broke up in the afternoon, and he called in the evening, shouldn't he be able to act? To be honest, it's really not easy to find a suitable actor for a while.

It wasn't until Wang Dalun finished talking on the phone that a smile suddenly appeared on his face and he said happily: "Okay! Since you have no problem here, then I will arrange for the agreement to be signed. Do you think the price of 200,000 is appropriate? ”

"Two hundred thousand?" Wang Dalun was stunned, the price in his heart was only about 100,000, even if it was lower, he was willing to accept it, but he didn't expect Sun Zhou to quote 200,000 at once.

Sun Zhou on the other end of the phone heard that the other party was silent, and hurriedly apologized slightly: "I'm sorry, this budget is just like that, you can help, and also help me say hello to Baogang." ”

Wang Dalun came to his senses and said repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Oh, by the way, Gong Li will come from Hong Kong next week, and let's talk together then."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your call."

In fact, the success of "Beautiful Mother" and the joining of international actress Gong Li, Sun Zhou's launch of "Zhou Yu's Train" is not short of investment at all. But also because of the word "work", at the beginning, when Beidao set the script, it was a subway story, from Nancheng to Beicheng. But in order to make the movie more romantic and the spatial relationship more distinct, Sun Zhou likes Yunnan, where the sun is shining, and the corresponding fog and rain are boundless, it should be Chongqing, and the train must be connected in the middle.

As a result, the production cost has risen exponentially, and Gong Li and Liang Jiahui's salaries are in the millions, so even if there is a lot of investment, the crew will not be too rich.

"Two hundred thousand, not high! You think, my salary is already 250,000 yuan, and I heard that Lu Yi is much higher than me, at least more than 300,000 yuan. Besides, your salary two years ago was already 100,000 yuan, and you won all the awards. 200,000 is not high at all. Fan Ziyi said without surprise.

"And there's a grade problem here, your current salary should be at this grade. When I talk to Rong Xinda, their salary can't be less than 200,000, right? ”

"Uh...... I'll give Sister Ding a call. ”

Wang Dalun has to admit that the girl is far more shrewd than himself in this regard.

He talked to Sister Ding and asked her to deal with the signing. Sister Ding was very embarrassed, because he took the play by himself, and the price was also agreed, and the company just helped to deal with the signing.

He didn't care about that, after all, this was just an exception. It is very cumbersome to negotiate with the producer, sign a contract, and collect money, and he thinks it is worth it with the help of the company, and he still thinks that the 20% commission is worth it. What's more, the agent pretends to be blackface in the middle, so as to avoid him as an actor from having unhappiness with the producer or crew to the greatest extent.

Because of the matter of "Spring in a Small Town", he also greeted Sister Ding in advance and introduced the current situation, and the phone calls took a long time.

When he hung up the phone, Fan Ziyi was reading the script he got back.

"The celadon intoxicated by the fairy lake

It's as soft as your skin in my hands

She overflowed my fairy lake,

Completely filled by you, fully filled by you. ”

"Wow, Chen Qing's poems are so beautiful! Hey, are all the poems here original? The girl asked in admiration.

"Maybe."

Wang Dalun is ambiguous, although he also thinks the poems in it are good when he reads the script, he pays more attention to the script itself. But now that I think about it, the name of screenwriter Kitamura is really familiar, and I seem to have heard of this name in my memory in my previous life, as if he was a poet.

He originally wanted to memorize the script as soon as possible, and then pondered how to act in the scenes one by one, which was equivalent to drawing a sub-shot in his mind, which was the experience accumulated over the past few years, and now the script was occupied by his girlfriend, so he could only say: "I'll take a shower first." ”

When he finished taking a shower, changed his pajamas, and came out of the bathroom, he heard his girlfriend exclaim, "Wow, what a passion. Drama too! It's a pity that they are all Zhou Yu and Chen Qing, why don't Zhang Qiang's? ”

"It's good if you don't have it, so as not to be embarrassed when shooting." He laughed.

"You don't have any regrets? That's with Sister Gong Li! ”

"What's wrong with Sister Gong Li?" He sat next to his girlfriend, put his arm around her shoulders, and patted his ass, "You are much younger and more beautiful than her." ”

"Cut!" Fan Ziyi glanced at him beautifully, she was more beautiful than Gong Li, she didn't have this confidence now, but it was a fact that she was younger than Gong Li.

"Alright, let's take a shower, or my hair won't dry out when I go to bed." He grabbed the script with him.

"Well, I went."

"Smack!"

As soon as Fan Ziyi stood up, she was slapped on the ass by her boyfriend, she turned around and made a grimace, and deliberately twisted her ass twice, and walked away very bewitchingly.

"Well, meaty, it feels really good, what kind of fat to lose!" Wang Dalun looked at his hand and muttered secretly in his heart.

…………

The next day, Wang Dalun got up early, went for a morning jog, and walked the dog. I ate a bowl of noodles at the entrance of the community and bought soy milk fritters to take home. My girlfriend is still asleep, and during this time, she has to sleep until nine or ten o'clock almost every day, and she is still yelling to lose weight, cut!

Took a shower and changed clothes. I made myself a pot of tea, sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and read the script. I've been thinking about "Spring in a Small Town" for some time, and now I urgently need to temporarily empty the original things in my mind and put in new things.

He has read the script twice, and he can roughly recite it, but he always feels that there is something wrong with the script, the plot is jumpy, and many places can't be connected, although Sun Zhou said that this was his intention, but he still can't understand a lot of things, or he can't understand it thoroughly.

He thought about it and decided to call Sun Zhou, after all, it was just a brief conversation yesterday, and it was not detailed.

"I've always felt that this story might be more about a fantasy of love, and when it comes to fantasy, time and space become less important. You can mix childhood, the future, and things that never happened, and it's very jumpy in structure, and it's generally difficult for us to judge with a normal experience, what might happen behind it, you don't know, what you expected behind it may or may not be what you expect at all. ”

"In real life, we may all be people with brakes, and we will stop when something happens, but the character of Zhou Yu may be a woman without brakes, and she will go down with her feelings until the end."

"Even if Zhou Yu's future is so nihilistic, but her persistence and persistence in the fantasy in her heart, the fantasy of love, I feel very moved, I feel that this world has been very materialistic, everything can be quantified, everything can be quantified, what else is our own, and there are still some things that have not been quantified, I think it is our dream......"

Sun Zhou said a lot on the phone, mostly because of his understanding of the script and Zhou Yu. He talked about Zhou Yu the most, and it wasn't until the mobile phone sounded "Didi" that the battery was low, and he finally said: "Actually, I forgot, I should have brought you a copy of Beicun's original book yesterday, although the adaptation of the script is relatively large, but the essence has not changed." That way, I'll bring you the book the next time we meet. ”

"No, no, I'll just buy it myself, this book is generally available in bookstores, right?"

"I think it's all there. I also saw it in a bookstore by chance. By the way, I almost forgot, this book was originally called "Zhou Yu's Shout", which is one of a set of love file books, there are five books in this set, and you can buy them alone. ”

"Well, thank you Director Sun, I'm sorry for your trouble."

"Hehe, where is it, you are so serious about the script, I can't be happy. Then let's wait for Gong Li to meet and talk after she comes back from Hong Kong. ”

"Good! Meet and talk. ”

"Who are you calling? I've been listening to you in my room for a long time. ”

Fan Ziyi yawned and walked out of the room.

"Talking to the director about the script, some places are too jumpy."

"Well, when I watched it yesterday, I also felt that a lot of places didn't make sense." The girl walked into the bathroom with her slippers on.

After more than an hour of phone calling, his mobile phone battery was almost gone. I changed a mobile phone battery, took the car keys, stood up, walked to the bathroom door, and said to my girlfriend who was sitting on the toilet and shh ”

"Oops!" Now she has a headache when she hears her boyfriend ask her about this, and she says irritably: "Whatever, I ask every day, I don't know, I can eat whatever I buy." ”

Wang Dalun smiled: "Then buy an elbow stew today?" ”

"Get out, don't buy elbows! People still have to lose weight. ”

…………

Boiled shrimp, stir-fried broccoli, fried soybean sprouts with small fried tofu, and yellow croaker soup with pickled cabbage. Three dishes and one soup, refreshing and refreshing. Fan Ziyi is very satisfied with today's dishes, she now strictly controls the amount of food in order to lose weight, and only eats half a bowl, but she doesn't see her eat less.

"Hey, is "Seafood" done in the later stage, is there any hope for the Cannes Film Festival?" Fan Ziyi asked while taking a small sip of soup while holding a bowl.

"It should be soon, last time Zhu Wen also said to let Lao Jia take a look, if it's okay, there should be time in time."

Speaking of "Seafood", Wang Dalun is really scratching his head. The Cannes Film Festival is held in May, and the shortlist is usually announced about 20 days in advance, which means that copies must be sent in at the end of March and the beginning of April. Now it's almost March, and there's no news from Zhu Wen's side.

The key is that Lao Jia is now busy opening a new film, and now that this product is famous, the new film plan is thrown out, and a lot of international funds are coming to the door. However, he still chose his old acquaintance Ichiyama Shozo, and it is said that the funds will be in place in less than half a month, and they can be increased at will.

Hutong production is now bigger, and the 500,000 yuan thrown to Zhu Wen is just a drop in the bucket, and what he is most worried about now is that Hutong Production is busy helping Lao Jia open a new film and neglecting "Seafood".

If you miss Cannes, you can't even think about the Shanghai Film Festival in June, and the Moscow Film Festival in July has limited influence, so you can only wait until the Venice Film Festival at the end of August and the beginning of September.

He felt that it was necessary to talk to Lao Jia, after all, there was still his 300,000 investment in it, and the sooner the movie was introduced, the sooner he would be able to see the money!

"However, if you want to be shortlisted for the main competition unit, I guess the hope is not too big. If it can be used as a screening movie, I think it will be a victory. Wang Dalun thought about it and said.

Although he hasn't seen the finished film yet, he has seen the market after all. An international film festival like Cannes, which is faintly above the top of the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, is one of the world's largest film trading markets, and films from all over the world are flocking to it, and it is not easy to be shortlisted, especially for a director like Zhu Wen, who has just debuted without a name, perhaps "Producer Jia Zhangke" is the biggest selling point of this film.

"Buzz, buzz......"

The phone on the table vibrates.

Fan Ziyi glanced at it, and the corner of her eyes twitched: "Your eldest niece is probably in the capital and has called you." ”

Wang Dalun came out of the kitchen quickly and picked up the phone: "Sun Li, are you here?" …… What, invite me to dinner? I ate it all at home. By the way, where are you now? Have you settled down? …… Oh, settled down, just near the Asian Games Village. That ......"

As he spoke, Wang Dalun covered the microphone of his mobile phone and made a lip shape with his girlfriend to invite her to the house, Fan Ziyi snorted lightly and nodded.

He hurriedly said, "Just go out to eat, I'm just going to eat here." In this way, the Asian Games Village is not far from my house, you tell me the specific seat, and I will come to pick you up! …… What, you took a taxi yourself? Do you know my home address? Well, that's fine! When you get to the gate of the community, you call me, and I will come out to pick you up. ”

Hanging up the phone, Wang Dalun couldn't help but smile and said, "This girl has finally arrived." As he spoke, he looked at the dishes on the table and said to himself, "No, I have to add two more dishes." There's also some meat and hairtail in the fridge, well, make a goo pork with sweet and sour hairtail. ”

Looking at her boyfriend's excited back, Fan Ziyi was very unhappy, and her mouth was pouting.
