Chapter 612: The Finale Dinner
Beijing International Hotel, a super luxury box that can accommodate more than 100 people, is brightly lit and laughing.
If there is a reporter here, you will definitely find that the people in the private room at this moment are all the most popular acting stars in the industry.
Surrounded by these stars in the middle is the famous international director Lao Mouzi. He has worked in the director industry for more than 20 years, and now he has a pivotal position in the domestic film and television circle. It can be said that as long as he says a word, he can make an actor turn purple in minutes, and similarly, he only needs one sentence to make an actor unable to mix in the mainland from now on.
With such a super big name, there will naturally be many actors and stars around him, and this moment is no exception. Around him, a group of actors are handsome and beautiful, all of whom are enthusiastically showing him their best side.
Among these actors, there is a girl dressed in white and with a dusty temperament, who is closest to him. Lao Mouzi held a glass of red wine, and from time to time lowered his head and talked with her with a smile and a very kind expression. That kindness is enough to make other actors crazy with jealousy!
This actress is naturally Zhao Linger.
Today is the day when the long-awaited large-scale costume fairy TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is completed. After a few busy months, Lao Mouzi finally lived up to Liu Yufan's trust and filmed this drama. Although in this play, Lao Mouzi did not get much material income, and even that little remuneration was not taken into his eyes at all, but at this moment he still seemed very excited.
Because, this movie was made for Liu Yufan!
If Lao Mouzi is the most well-known director in the entire mainland, then Liu Yufan is the existence that all directors must look up to! Although he is only a screenwriter, he can be called the best screenwriter in the world. Starting from "Pirates of the Caribbean", Liu Yufan in more than a year. He has created more than a dozen large-scale film and television scripts in one go. It's a classic! If Lao Mouzi is the golden signboard that creates a red star, then Liu Yufan is the golden signboard that creates a world-class director! There is not a single director. dares to ignore Liu Yufan, a screenwriter, and Lao Mouzi is no exception.
Think about it, even the most famous international director Spielberg. Du Wei came to China with dignity, just to ask for a script, what is his old plan?
Therefore, doing Liu Yufan a favor and making an emotional investment, if you can get Liu Yufan's gratitude because of this, it will be worth it.
Moreover, from Lao Mouzi himself, he also admires this drama very much! Before, he only knew that Liu Yufan was very good at film screenwriting. didn't expect that he was also quite proficient in the script of the TV series. Needless to say, the previous "Meteor Garden" not only became popular with the five superstars F4 and Big S, but also caused a wave of campus idols in the entire mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Time. The entire screen is filled with a large number of works that follow the trend. However, it is difficult for any one to surpass the transcendent status of "Meteor Garden"!
And this time. Liu Yufan created the work "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" without everyone's expectation. This is a completely different work from "Meteor Garden", and it is the first TV series based on a game in China. It can be said that Liu Yufan once again surprised everyone with his strength. Generally speaking, a director is usually only good at one field, but Liu Yufan has not only done his best in both movies and TV series, but also in two completely different themes. From the perspective of a master director who has been in the film for more than 20 years, Lao Mouzi really can't find any fault with this "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and even applauds some of the plot designs in it. The structure of this script is very compact, and it can be said that the essence of the original work is expressed. The selected actors are also very in line with the temperament of the characters in the game, especially Zhao Ling'er, who was simply born to play Zhao Ling'er. Lao Mouzi believes that as soon as this "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" comes out, Zhao Linger will definitely be able to perfectly interpret the role of Ling'er and become the goddess in the hearts of countless game fans!
"Hehe, Director Zhang, I will toast you again, thank you for making this film so well, you deserve to be an international director!" Next to Lao Mouzi, there was a middle-aged man in a blue suit, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, smiling and chatting with Lao Mouzi.
If there is a hardcore player of Sword and Fairy here, he will definitely be able to see the identity of this middle-aged man at a glance. That's right, he is the manager of the game development department of Dayu Company, and the creator of the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and the well-known game designer who single-handedly founded the madman creation group - Ding Yi.
This time, he came here to participate in the finalization ceremony of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and he also had a lot of emotions in his heart. Now the fanatic production group is developing Xian Er, but in fact, Ding Yi knows in his heart that Xian Yi has become a classic that can never be surpassed, and if it weren't for profit, he would never develop a sequel. In his opinion, Xianyi has done it perfectly.
And when Mr. Liu of Legendary Entertainment found him and explained that he wanted to shoot the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and discuss the copyright issue, he was very cautious at that time. After all, the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is like his own child to him. He can not care about the remuneration, but if the film is not made well, it is undoubtedly intolerable to him. He couldn't allow such a game, which was perfect in his mind, to be smashed.
Therefore, he signed a gentleman's agreement with Liu Yufan at that time. If the film is shot well, the fanatic creative group can not collect a penny, on the contrary, it will also provide a sponsorship of five million for the TV series. But if the film can't satisfy the Maniac production team, then I'm sorry, no matter how high the price Legendary Entertainment gives, the Fanatic creation group will not allow the game to be listed!
It can also be seen from this agreement that the fanatics production group is indeed a group of fanatics, and they strive for perfection at any cost. In this matter, their style has been perfectly embodied.
When Lao Mouzi first heard this condition of the fanatic, he was actually very unhappy in his heart. Because in his field, he also has his own pride. He doesn't think that with his own shooting level and such a perfect book, there will be people who will be dissatisfied with the works he has made. Therefore, when filming, Lao Mouzi almost did his best. Although he has not filmed many TV series. But he was sure. This is a work that will definitely satisfy him.
When Lao Mouzi saw those surprises in the eyes of the members of the fanatic group, he smiled proudly in his heart.
Ding Yi is a die-hard Xianxia fan, for this game. He poured too much effort into it. Therefore, he did not allow "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which was made into a TV series, to be a little imperfect. It is precisely because of this that when he was reviewing the film. Look at it more carefully than anyone else.
But even so, he still can't find even a little dissatisfaction with this film!
He served, completely obeyed! not only put 5 million into the crew's account as promised, but also personally collected a set of DVDs of the film.
At this moment, hearing Ding Yi's heartfelt compliments, a proud smile appeared on Lao Mouzi's face.
"Hehe, Manager Ding. You're so polite, happy to work with! Lao Mouzi looked at Ding Yi, smiled and touched him with the wine in his hand. Both of them are proud figures in each other's fields. This time we tested each other. It's a bit of a hero's taste of cherishing heroes.
"Miss Ling'er. I'll toast you too. Seriously, throughout the film. You are the most amazing thing to me. You are the most perfect Ling'er image in my heart. I'm sure after this film airs. Millions of immortal fans will surely consider you their goddess. Ding Yi looked at Zhao Ling'er and said sincerely. At the same time, there was also a hint of fascination in his eyes.
Zhao Linger is a character created by him, as a man, Ding Yi's feelings for this role are even greater than those for Li Xiaoyao. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that at the end of the game, Ding Yi did not let Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao be together, but let Ling'er sacrifice himself for the sake of righteousness and end in a tragedy. In fact, such an arrangement, in his subconscious, is not a desire to monopolize Ling'er?
Originally, in his opinion, Ling'er was the most perfect woman, the kind of fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world. Such a perfect character should only appear in the game, and in the real world, such a woman cannot exist. It is precisely for this reason that when Lao Mouzi swore to him that he could rest assured that he was an actor and that his temperament definitely met the requirements of the game, he was a little dismissive.
Maybe it's possible for others, Ling'er, is it possible? Can you really find such a girl in reality?
However, when he saw Zhao Ling'er for the first time, he was stupid.
That kind of temperament is really a realistic version of the pen and ink that is indescribable, and the whole one is out of the spirit. At that time, Ding Yi's heart was shouting, this is impossible!
It was precisely because of the appearance of this role that he let go of the biggest stone in his heart and promised to let Legendary Entertainment shoot this drama.
And Zhao Linger's performance in the play next also made him admire it a lot. This girl not only has a good temperament, but also has first-class acting skills, and she has brought the role of Ling'er to life. Especially when she put on that white dress and flew around hanging Weiya, it was like a fairy descending to earth!
When the ideal character and reality overlapped, Ding Yi couldn't help falling in love with this girl!
"Manager Ding, thank you." Ling Er looked at Manager Ding's somewhat burning gaze, her face flushed slightly, and after touching him gently, she raised her head and took a small sip.
Seeing that the wine and food were almost served, Lao Mouzi raised his hand to signal that the scene was quiet.
With this gesture of his, the hall, which had been a little noisy a moment ago, suddenly became quiet.
Lao Mouzi raised his glass and delivered an enthusiastic speech, during which there was no shortage of praise for the film. It can be seen that he himself is really satisfied with this movie.
Listening to Lao Mouzi's words, these actors also had a little excitement on their faces. They have been filming for such a long time, and they naturally have a good idea of the quality of the play. Thinking that after the broadcast of this film, they will all become popular one by one, and they will become a new generation of popular stars in the mainland, these people are very much looking forward to it. In contrast, even those salaries are not so important.
This was an informal occasion, and Lao Mouzi spoke very casually, and after he finished speaking, he announced the opening of the banquet.
Don't look at the fact that most of these actors have perfect images on the screen, but in this kind of private occasion, most of them are no different from ordinary people, and even make a lot of noise. It's been a few months of hard work, and everyone wants to take this opportunity to release it well.
Wine is good wine. A feast is a good feast. The atmosphere was excellent and everyone was a little crazy. By the time the banquet was gone, the group was seven or eight points drunk.
But. This is just the beginning for tonight's celebrations.
After eating, someone proposed to go to karaoke and dance again. They are all fun people, and there are many natural responders. Lao Mouzi didn't want to ruin everyone's interest, although he didn't like this kind of chaotic occasion very much.
The International Hotel itself provides guests with a top-notch entertainment venue, and Lao Mouzi has booked a luxurious KTV private room with a stroke of his pen, so that people who want to play can enjoy themselves in it for a while. He was very satisfied with the performance of these people during filming, and finally finished filming, these people want to relax, and Lao Mouzi will naturally not dismiss everyone.
He took the lead in singing a song. After a few more words, he walked away. He is also in his forties this year, this kind of young people's occasion. He was getting less and less like.
Lao Mouzi left. The atmosphere of the scene became even more lively. Honestly, these young actors. One by one, they are still very afraid of Lao Mouzi. When filming, Lao Mouzi is very strict with both the drama and the people. Many actors were in front of him, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of air. Even now that the film is over, in front of him, everyone still has a feeling that they can't let go.
As soon as he walked away, the crowd began to go crazy. Especially those actors and actresses who looked at each other "right taste" when filming, they took this opportunity to catch each other and play a little ambiguous.
And among these people, the most popular is probably Zhao Ling'er. This fairy-like girl is the object of admiration of almost all the male actors in the crew. Although there is no shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry, beauties of this level like Zhao Linger are still rare animals. This can be seen just by looking at those actors competing to toast Zhao Ling'er.
Among these people, the most attentive is probably Chen Zhuo. In the play, he plays Li Xiaoyao, and Ling Er is a couple. When listening to the rehearsal, Zhao Ling'er screamed one after another, not to mention how itchy his heart was, he couldn't wait to be like in the film, to be a fairy couple with her, and stay and fly together. It's just that this girl is too faceless. There are thousands of good things in the play, and in reality, he put on a clean and icy appearance, he showed favor several times, but the other party didn't give him any face.
What's even more annoying is that because of this incident, he was actually trained by Director Zhang. He's the size of a wrist, but how can he bear this breath? Although he didn't say it, he hated Zhao Ling'er and Director Zhang together in his heart.
"Hmph, if I can't get your heart, I will get your people first." Looking at the fairy-like Ling'er, a trace of viciousness flashed in Chen Zhuo's eyes.
"Ling'er, I toast you, it's really a pleasure to work with you!" Chen Zhuo held two glasses of wine in his hand and handed one of them to Ling Er.
"Brother Xiaoyao respects Sister Ling'er's wine, let's coax one!" When an actress in the crew saw this scene, she immediately shouted.
It didn't matter if she shouted like this, and suddenly everyone was also excited, and shouted together.
"How about giving them a drink?" The actress who had just shouted continued to coax.
"Okay~~~" A group of people are not too big to watch the excitement, so they naturally try their best to coax.
Zhao Ling'er's face was a little embarrassed. She has drunk a lot of wine today, and her head is a little dizzy at the moment, she really doesn't want to drink anymore, but the hospitality of everyone is very difficult, plus this Chen Zhuo has always looked caring in front of him for so many days, although he rejected his pursuit, he was not angry at all, and he was still the same. At this moment, he wants to toast himself with this glass of wine, and Zhao Ling'er really has no reason not to drink it.
However, it was difficult for her to let her have a glass of wine with Chen Zhuo. Although in the circle, this kind of little joke is often made, but Zhao Ling'er is different, in this regard, she is actually not very open.
As if seeing Zhao Ling'er's embarrassment, Chen Zhuo smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, don't be embarrassed about Ling'er, just take a sip." Chen Zhuo said, touched Zhao Ling'er, and then drained the wine in the cup.
"Thank you, Chen Zhuo." Seeing that Chen Zhuo didn't insist on handing over a glass to himself, Ling Er glanced at him with some gratitude, and then drank the small half glass of wine in his cup.
Seeing Zhao Ling'er drink the glass of wine, Chen Zhuo's eyes narrowed, and a look of successful trickery flashed.
In that glass of wine, he had added "ingredients", the latest psychedelic drugs from the United States. After drinking, not only is it at the mercy of others, but the body also becomes extremely sensitive, and the need for this aspect is particularly strong. It took a lot of effort for him to get this thing.
The actress who coaxed just now was also arranged by him in advance. That woman is his fan, and she has liked him for a long time, and he just used a little trick to make her willingly cooperate with him in such a play.
The lights in the arena suddenly dimmed, and then a soft music sounded.
"Ling'er, can I ask you to dance?" Seeing everyone sliding onto the dance floor in pairs, Chen Zhuo also smiled and stretched out his hand to Ling'er and invited.
"I, I'm a little dizzy." Ling Er instinctively wanted to refuse, but for some reason, her body was gently pulled by someone, and she jumped up.
Without jumping a few steps, Chen Zhuo took advantage of everyone's inattention and left the private room with Ling Er.
