Chapter 131 See Zhang Yimou
In Lu Zhongfei's thoughts, Zhang Yimou is most likely to refuse, after all, Zhang Yimou is almost sixty years old, and the people he has to deal with every day are almost from morning to night, where does he have time to meet someone who does not have much success in the field of movie songs?
He didn't know Zhang Yimou's thoughts, Zhang Yimou watched "Eavesdropping" in Mai Zhaohui's hand a month or two ago, and at that time he was still surprised by Mai Zhaohui's idea - he actually used the script of a young man who was not yet twenty years old, and that young man was born in a talent show like Fast Man! Thinking of this, Zhang Yimou felt a little absurd, so he specially asked for the script of "Eavesdropping" to see.
Then the well-laid out and profound story of "Eavesdropping" left a deep impression on him.
He also remembered the author of that book, Su Li, because of this.
Now Lu Zhongfei found him and told him that when Su Li met him, although it was a little strange, he thought of "Eavesdropping", and it happened that he had time tomorrow afternoon, so he wanted to see what Su Li wanted to do when he was looking for himself.
When Su Li heard the good news that Lu Zhongfei gave him, he was also slightly surprised, and said to Lu Zhongfei: "Old Lu ...... It turns out that you and Zhang Yimou are so familiar...... I can let him see me if I move my mouth like this! Su Li didn't know the inside story, so he was still a little surprised.
Lu Zhongfei was a little embarrassed about this praise that should not have belonged to him, and then said to Su Li: "Teacher Zhang has already agreed with you...... You should take advantage of this opportunity...... I think you also know the status of Mr. Zhang in China. ”
Lu Fatzi took a bite of Teacher Zhang, which made Su Li even more convinced that this guy was very familiar with Zhang Yimou, so he nodded and replied, "I know...... Tomorrow we should be able to finish all the pre-shooting preparations......"
"Yes, we'll be all done tomorrow, and we'll be almost ready to shoot."
Su Li nodded and said: "I asked someone to help take a look, although the day after tomorrow cannot be regarded as a zodiac auspicious, but it is also a rare good day for filming these careers, I am ready to really start shooting the day after tomorrow!" At that time, we had to be busy...... "Su Li and they naturally won't worship God like Hong Kong people, but choosing a good name is essential."
Lu Zhongfei just nodded: "I also asked someone to see it, the descendants are indeed a good person, and they will be really busy the day after tomorrow!" ”
―――――― movie is about to be filmed, several main actors: Xu Zheng, Zhao Yingjun, etc. have all arrived in Yanjing, this movie needs not many extras, and a few scenes need a few special actors, so it is easier to arrange, I have already communicated with the agency of the extras, and I can spend at most 50,000 yuan on the extras, and I don't need to do more.
The pre-shooting preparations for the movie are basically complete!
At noon the next day, Su Li stood at the place where the shooting site was held, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
The supermarket has been set up as a filming location, and various props have been prepared, including the TV set that played a key role in the plot of the whole drama at the end, and the small KTV private room in the supermarket that was supposed to be installed by the proprietress in the movie. In the shooting space, there are expensive video cameras, film that can record light and shadow, and a variety of equipment for shooting movies...... In a short moment, Su Li suddenly had a feeling that the fate of these things was closely related - his hope was in this movie!
The supermarket has been locked down, because the rental period is 3 weeks, so Su Li and their shooting tasks are also relatively tight, and they need to shoot all the shots after three weeks.
Walking out of the door of the supermarket with his hands behind his back, several security guards were standing guard and some patrolling around, these people were also specially rented from the security company, and there were five security guards in this group, and they also paid a large salary for this. These people seem to be relatively calm, the leader is about forty years old, his eyes are very bright, and at the age of forty, he doesn't care about celebrities anymore, and he just treats Su Li as an employer just like ordinary people. However, the other security guards were a little different, especially one who was about twenty-two years old, who was still full of respect when he saw Su Li, and he was also grateful that he had this opportunity to help a big star.
After looking around, Su Li nodded with satisfaction, and then prepared to visit Zhang Yimou in the afternoon.
The legendary Zhang Yimou was a rather conservative and serious person, and Su Li also felt that he had to be mentally prepared to meet him.
―――――― Su Li was in front of Zhang Yimou's house, and he was a little nervous when he knocked on the door, after all, he was coming to see a big man, and it was impossible not to be nervous.
He carried some fruit in his hand, if he brought something valuable, it would be a gift, and he didn't want Zhang Yimou to look down on him because of this. Therefore, Su Li also symbolically carried some fruits, and he also carried a shoulder bag with the main things he brought.
After tapping on the door three times with his right hand, Su Li temporarily paused and waited for the homeowner's reaction, and sure enough, after a while, the door opened from the inside.
What caught Su Li's eyes was a slightly old face, but this face still had a heroic spirit, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon. This person is one of the best directors in China now, and he is also the representative surname of the fifth generation of directors - Zhang Yimou.
Letting Zhang Yimou personally open the door for him, Su Li was really a little flattered, but he still suppressed those feelings in his heart, and there was respect in his face, but he definitely couldn't find any nervousness in it.
Su Li's first impression of Zhang Yimou was quite good, the humility and arrogance on this young man's face were clear in his eyes, and he gave Su Li a higher impression score in his heart at the moment. Seeing the bag of fruit in Su Li's hand also felt a little special, this young man did give him a very good impression, this bag of fruit is really a little warm, after all, the people who have come to see Zhang Yimou over the years are either good friends or media reporters, they don't need to bring anything, or they just beg him to do something, how can there be such a simple gift?
Su Li calmed down the emotions just now in his heart and said, "Teacher Zhang...... Hello, I'm Su Li...... I didn't expect you to come and open the door for me in person. ”
Zhang Yimou heard the first sentence Su Li said, after all, he was born as a singer, and there was a unique taste in this person's voice. A kind smile hung on the corner of Zhang Yimou's mouth, opened the door and said, "Come in, my lover is not at home, and my daughter is not here...... Of course, I'm the only one to open the door for you. ”
Su Li nodded and followed Zhang Yimou into his room.
The decoration style of Zhang Yimou's house has a unique classical taste, full of a beautiful rhythm, antique, but it seems that many things are placed just right, and there is no half-stiff taste. Su Li followed Zhang Yimou and sat on the sofa, and both of them sat down, and the angle was about ninety degrees.
Zhang Yimou suddenly said, "I'll get you a glass of water." ”
"No, no, no...... I'm not thirsty. Su Li hurriedly refused, joking, how could he let Zhang Yimou pour water for himself, Zhang Yimou didn't move when he heard Su Li say this, but said, "I heard of you a few days ago...... A very good young man, I've also read your book "Eavesdropping", it's very well written, whether it's from the layout or the rhythm, it's exciting...... Heard about Gabriel of the United States. Muchino also adopted one of your scripts, right? ”
"Hmm...... That script was called "Seven Pounds" and it was a feature film. Su Li's attitude was very humble, but he didn't make any appearance of inferiority.
Zhang Yimou nodded, and then he asked directly, "So...... ...... you come to me this time? ”
Originally, Su Li was going to say it himself, but Zhang Yimou was the first to ask, and he said: "Teacher Zhang, I took the liberty to visit today, maybe it will delay your time, it's like this, I have a notebook in my hand...... I would like to hand it over to you...... I don't think there are many people who can appreciate this book, but I think you'll be one. ”
Zhang Yimou also guessed a little in his heart that Su Li gave himself a notebook, and now it seems that this is the case, and he said a little playfully at the moment: "There are not many people who appreciate it...... What kind of book is this? ”
Su Li said: "You only need to look at a little bit to know. ”
Zhang Yimou smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay then!" I'll just take a look, but you also know that I may not have time to shoot your book, I'm preparing for the Olympics now, and maybe I'll make a movie after the Olympics, plus "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" that I'm preparing...... I don't have much time. ”
Su Li nodded and said, "I know...... But I'm confident that I'll be able to make this film in the interlude between the filming of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling......"
"Okay...... Since you are so confident, then I will take a closer look. Zhang Yimou took the notebook in Su Li's hand.
When he took over "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" in Su Li's hands, Zhang Yimou was still a little disapproving, although he admired Su Li's confidence and courage, but this could not be linked to his script, and these two things were not the same surname.
Then he still looked at this book for the first time with a somewhat disapproving attitude, and it was written five big characters "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", when he saw these words, Zhang Yimou felt that maybe Su Li had miscalculated this time - he didn't have the idea of making any love movies. However, the words hawthorn tree gave him a little extra imagination, and he intuitively felt that there might be some novel ideas in this script.
Then he opened the first page, and the layout on it was similar to what he had seen in "Eavesdropping", all of them were more professional, tightly arranged, and gave a pretty good first impression.
Then he began to focus on the first page, the very beginning of the background.
And that background introduction about the Cultural Revolution immediately attracted Zhang Yimou, he glanced at Su Li a little strangely, and then lowered his head and continued to look at this book, but the expression on his face gradually became exciting, and after he read the first page, he found that he had been attracted.
