Chapter 110: This Thing Is Troublesome
"Pretty boy, do you want a map?" As soon as Di Yun came out of the airport in the New Territories, he met an old man and asked.
Di Yun could understand Cantonese, but he didn't speak well, so he didn't look foreign, and said in Mandarin: "Have a copy." ”
The old man's eyes lit up and asked, "From the mainland?" ”
"Hmm." Di Yun nodded.
Since July 1st, this small place has suddenly flooded into this small place from the mainland, which has caused an impact on the place and also made some locals see business opportunities.
The old man instantly became obscene: "I still have an electronic watch, a game console, and milk powder here...... Whether you want a pretty boy or not, it's a good thing to go back and send it to your friends. ”
Di Yun pursed his lips and listened for a while and asked, "Is there a divine palm?" ”
"If you come to the Divine Palm? What is it? ”
"Oh, forget it if you don't know." Di Yun said as he paid and took a copy of the map.
He didn't rush to call the director named Chen Guo introduced by Zhang Aijia, but called Xia Wenxi first.
The relationship between the two was very good when they were filming in Dunhuang, and when they arrived on Hong Kong Island, they couldn't even say hello. However, this is a phone number left seven or eight months ago, and I don't know if I can still get through now, so I tried to dial it.
"Who?"
As soon as he heard this voice and tone, Di Yun knew that it was her, and said with a smile: "Sister Xia, I'm Di Yun." ”
"Oh, Xiaoyun, it's been almost a year, and I haven't seen you call, I thought you forgot about your sister. Why did you suddenly call today? ”
"Hehe, I'm here on Hong Kong Island today." Di Yun laughed.
"Really? I'll go right over to you right now. ”
"Just out of the airport." Di Yun said.
"You wait. I'll be over in a moment. ”
Di Yun waited for more than twenty minutes. A car pulled up in front of him. Xia Wenxi didn't get out of the car. He took off his sunglasses and shook his head and said, "Get in the car." ”
Di Yun went in and sat in the passenger seat, fastening his seat belt. Xia Wenxi started the car, turned around at the intersection, and drove back.
"Where are you going?" Di Yun asked.
"Go to my house."
Di Yun held the car door with his hand and said, "Then I jumped out of the car." ”
Xia Wenxi glanced at him and said, "Look at you, are you so scared to go to my house?" Can I still eat you? ”
"I'm afraid that my brother-in-law will beat me out." Di Yun said with a smile.
"Where did the brother-in-law come from, the brother-in-law doesn't know that it's in that woman's belly."
Di Yun smiled and didn't speak. He wasn't really worried about being misunderstood by Xia Wenxi's husband or anything, mainly because she was also a star on Hong Kong Island, and if she took a man home and accidentally let the paparazzi take a picture and make some scandals, it would not be good for anyone.
"You really don't want to go to my house?" Xia Wenxi asked.
"I won't be killed." Di Yun quickly shook his head.
"Don't forget it." Xia Wenxi's car turned a corner and drove into another street. Stopped at the door of a western restaurant.
As he entered, Di Yun glanced behind him, because he felt that the car that had stopped next seemed to be following all the way, and wanted to see if the paparazzi were running around the streets of Hong Kong Island as he had heard. As a result, I really saw that the person who came out of the car was holding a camera in his hand, wearing a mask on a hot day, and as soon as he got out of the car, he half-squatted on the ground obscenely and set up the camera to shoot.
"I'll go! What a paparazzi! ”
Di Yun quickly turned his head and walked quickly inside.
"I said, sister, you're quite famous here, and you bring a photographer with you?"
Xia Wenxi also saw the candid photographer, and said helplessly and disdainfully: "What kind of name am I." It's just that I'm about to participate in a TV series recently, and there is some news. These people are like sharks that smell blood, and they follow them wherever they go, and they can't shake them off. You don't bother. ”
"What TV series?" After sitting down, Di Yun asked.
"The Condor Heroes."
Condor Heroes? Such a familiar name. Di Yun asked, "What role?" Little Dragon Girl? Thinking of the little dragon girl who was an old lady with her hands on her waist and mouth open, he laughed first.
"What are you laughing at? Say it and let my sister be happy. Xia Wenxi saw him laughing strangely and asked.
"Nothing."
"Shhhh I'm old like this.,Little Dragon Girl, it's still my turn to act.,Besides, the painting style doesn't match at all, right? ”
"And who are you playing?"
"Huang Rong."
Huang Rong in the Condor Heroes? No wonder I lament that I am old. However, I didn't seem to have much impression after watching so many versions of "The Condor Heroes" in later generations.
"I'm going to shoot in Fujian in three days, and if you come a few days late, you won't be able to see you." Xia Wenxi said, "Hey, I haven't said why you suddenly came to Hong Kong Island?" ”
"Come over and film." Di Yun said.
"What film?"
"Uh... I don't know yet. Di Yun touched his nose and said.
"You came over to film, I don't know what kind of scene you were filming?" Xia Wenxi said that she did not understand.
Di Yun shrugged his shoulders and said: "Someone else introduced it, and only gave the director's phone number, I just came here to find you, I haven't seen the director yet, I only know that the director's name is Chen Guo." ”
"Chen Guo, I've heard of it, but it doesn't seem to have any good works."
This time, Di Yun didn't have any disappointment, but when the time comes, I'll read the script and say it, if I like it, I can shoot it, and if I don't like it, I don't have any human affection or anything like that. Besides, people don't necessarily look up to themselves.
When the two were talking, they only heard the camera click behind them. Di Yun turned his head to look over, and saw that the heavily armed buddy was filming there, and when he saw him looking over, he didn't even mean to hide it, and directly took a frontal photo of him.
", so arrogant?" Di Yun was ready to stand up and go over to talk about the Tao.
"What are you going to do?" Xia Wenxi grabbed him and said.
"Well, go over and say a few words to the man." Di Yun raised his head and gestured.
"Sit down, you." Xia Wenxi said in a low voice, "The reporter is known as the uncrowned king, and these people are shit that is bright and shaky, if you step on it, it will disgust you to death, and it can create countless negative news for you." Unless you don't want to mess around here in the future. ”
Di Yun didn't dare to say that he wouldn't come to Hong Kong Island to mix in the future. But so the two talked. A person next to him took a candid photograph openly, but it was disgusting enough.
"Forget it, let him go, he won't lose a piece of meat anyway." Xia Wenxi said.
Di Yun was afraid that the photo of the two who seemed to be a little intimate would be in some newspaper, and then his girlfriend saw it, misunderstanding!
A little worried, he asked, "Won't make that... The scandal is coming, right? ”
"Heh... If I were Lin Qingxia, Maggie Cheung or something, you would definitely be the hero of the newspaper tomorrow, but do you think I? Xia Wenxi glanced at him and said, "Don't worry." It can't reach your little girlfriend's ears! ”
"Uh... Huh..."
After having a meal, Xia Wenxi took the car around Hong Kong Island in the afternoon. In the evening, he was sent to the hotel to settle down, and the two separated.
In the evening, Di Yun first called Lao Xu and chatted for a while, and then picked up Zhang Aijia's phone number and dialed it.
On the other end of the phone was listening to awkward Cantonese: "Good inside, what does it smell like death?" ”
"Uh... Is this Director Chen here? Di Yun asked.
It was also changed to Mandarin over there, which was quite polite: "Oh, I'm Chen Guo, who are you?" ”
"That's right, my name is Di Yun, I heard that you are preparing to shoot a movie, and Ms. Zhang Aijia recommended me to come and try it." Di Yun said.
"Oh. But I've started filming this movie now, this ......"
"Huh?" Di Yun was stunned. Quickly said, "Sorry to bother you." After that, he was ready to hang up the phone.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute." Chen Guo suddenly said anxiously: "You are from the mainland, right?" Just said what's your name? ”
Di Yun was silent for two seconds: "Di Yun, a mainlander." ”
"Diyun? The name is a little familiar, are you... Have you ever photographed that... What's that......"
Di Yun saw that he was thinking really hard, so he said it for him: "Pang Duanwu in "Fengyue". ”
"That's right! Right! It's Brother Chen Kai's "Wind and Moon"! Chen Guo was excited, "Did he also win the nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards?" ”
"Seems so."
"Wait a minute, let me think, let me think ......"
“……”
Chen Guo has made several films, some fame but also the kind of half-dead, because he belongs to an independent filmmaker, he is not affiliated with any company, so funding has always been a problem. The film is called "Made in Hong Kong", and the fund is only 600,000. Although the story is about a series of events that happened on Hong Kong Island after the return of Hong Kong Island, he just wanted to use a mainland actor to play it, in order to achieve the effect of conflict and contrast, as for what kind of conflict and contrast is difficult for ordinary people to understand. also tried to invite several famous actors from the mainland to support the film, but the funds were too small, the salary was not high, and he was not a famous director, so it was not negotiated. In the end, I couldn't do it, so I simply didn't invite any famous actors, and I died of the idea of using mainland actors to act, so I directly found a few young actors and started filming.
At this time, I heard a mainland actor named Di Yun come to the door, and after thinking about the Pang Duanwu he played, it seemed that the play was not bad. Suddenly, I had the idea of changing actors, but if I changed actors, I would have to compensate the original actors for liquidated damages. It turned out that the actor's salary was not high, and the liquidated damages were not much, only 30,000, but the total funds of the crew were only 600,000, and 30,000 yuan was relatively a lot. And if Di Yun comes, the salary will definitely be higher than the actor he is using now, and it will be tens of thousands.
This coming and going will consume seventy or eight of the total funds, so he hesitated whether there was a need to change actors.
After thinking for a while, he didn't say anything: "Why don't you come over tomorrow and try it first?" ”
"Uh...... Haven't you already started filming here? Di Yun was puzzled, could it be possible to change the actor temporarily?
"It's been two days since I first started shooting, and I haven't shot much yet. I mainly want to see you as a person, and if it's appropriate, I'll be able to say everything else. ”
Di Yun felt that if it was really suitable, let this person replace the original actor, a little suspicious of stealing people's jobs, and he didn't want to go over. said: "I think it's still ......"
"It's okay, you come over and have a look first, and it doesn't cost you anything, and then Sister Zhang introduced you over, if I don't even look at anyone, then it's difficult for me to do it, don't you say?"
Di Yun thought about it, after all, he was kindly introduced, this person at least had to meet once, and as for whether he could cooperate, he would say something else.
So he agreed. (To be continued.) )
