251: Meet Zhao Simin again
On the train, Wang Luo, who didn't rest well last night, fell asleep as soon as he got on the car, and he didn't know if it was intentional or what, everyone else was sitting together in two, only Wang Luo was alone here, and there was a vacant seat next to him.
I don't know how long the bullet train has been out, anyway, I was confused along the way, Wang Luo estimated that it would not be long before I left Beijing.
The train stopped at a station, and the scattered passengers on the platform hurriedly entered their respective carriages, their faces full of exhaustion.
A faint fragrance came from behind him, Wang Luo squinted, but the next moment, Wang Luo's eyes widened.
The woman opposite also looked at Wang Luo with wide eyes, although she was wearing a mask and a peaked cap, Wang Luo still recognized the other party at a glance.
Zhao Simin is dressed very sportily today, wearing a well-fitting sportswear, perfectly outlining the arc of the body, to be honest, can wear sportswear with this effect, at least Wang Luo has not seen it. And she's the only one, and it doesn't look like she's going to work.
"Miss Zhao?" Wang Luo was a little surprised.
He and Zhao Simin have not met many times, or they have only met each other once, and today is the second time they have met. But what's interesting is that these two meetings turned out to be chance encounters.
The last time was on the plane back to Beijing from Bingcheng, but this time it was changed to a bullet train. In the vast sea of people, they were able to meet twice, and looking at this posture, Zhao Simin was still sitting beside him. Even Wang Luo had to sigh secretly, everything is fate.
"Wang Luo? Is it really you? Zhao Simin also shouted in disbelief. At the same time, other people in the carriage hooked their heads to look at each other.
But fortunately, this is in Business Class, which is equivalent to the first class in the plane, and people who are generally willing to buy Business Class tickets. None of them are ordinary people.
Although they may not have seen more celebrities than ordinary people, I have to say that compared with ordinary people, this group of people still has a little quality.
Of course, maybe it's because you don't want to lose face. It is also possible to feel that running over to chase stars will make you lose points.
But no matter what, Wang Luo couldn't escape being treated as an orangutan after all, and he watched fiercely.
"And who else?" Wang Luo's sleepiness suddenly dissipated. Smiling and shrugging, joking.
"That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Both times were chance encounters? Zhao Simin still couldn't believe that all this in front of him was true.
Although she is also a star, although she has also been popular recently. But compared with Wang Luo, Zhao Simin's status is still too far behind.
A Infernal Affairs almost put Wang Luo on the altar, although Wang Luo did not play any role. But as a rookie director. Wang Luo is still very hopeful of winning the award.
And recently, there have been rumors in the circle that Wang Luo cooperated with China Entertainment to make a comedy movie. Originally, according to the meaning of China Entertainment, it was planned to invite a first-line comedian to play the starring role, but Wang Luo rejected it and insisted on letting a dragon actor play the starring role.
If it was in the past, the circle would definitely laugh at Wang Luo's approach, but now, although it is still not convincing. But at least everyone kept watching, until the results came out. I don't want to say anything more.
And the last time they met, Wang Luo was still asking Zhao Simin for professional knowledge of filming. And this time they met, Wang Luo became the director with a box office of 2 billion, and the gap between them made Zhao Simin a little breathless.
Of course, there is also a widely accepted saying in the circle that Wang Luo's two billion box office has a large amount of water.
This kind of moisture does not mean that Wang Luo himself maliciously refreshed the box office, but many people went to the cinema to watch it more than once. In general, Wang Luo seized the market opportunity this time, so he achieved such results. And the next film, even if it is really more classic than Infernal Affairs, there is not much hope of surpassing Infernal Affairs' box office record.
Because at that time, there will be many similar movies made in China according to the characteristics of Infernal Affairs. At least in the plot and shooting techniques, we will refer to Infernal Affairs.
"Haha, where are you going?" Wang Luo laughed, and didn't plan to dwell on the issue of chance encounters for too long. But then again, if he hadn't met Zhao Simin again today, Wang Luo would probably have forgotten that there was still Zhao Simin.
"Me? went to the Central Plains to film, the crew took two days off, and returned to Tianjing when they were idle, and it happened to start shooting tomorrow. Zhao Simin said.
Wang Luo stood up and took Zhao Simin's luggage, put the luggage on the luggage rack above, and then probed Zhao Simin up and down.
"Why do you see me like that?" Zhao Simin was a little embarrassed to be looked at by Wang Luo, although she has been used to it in the past few years, but Zhao Simin will be embarrassed to stare at such a close distance.
"How long are you going to stay in the Central Plains?" Wang Luo retracted his gaze, then sat on the seat and asked.
"It's less than a month, it's already the end of filming, and it can be completed in half a month, and then I will shoot the reshoot or something, at most a month. How? Are you looking for me to film? Zhao Simin plucked up his courage and asked tentatively.
Wang Luo's thoughts Zhao Simin naturally can't know, but Zhao Simin knows that Wang Luo is currently famous in the circle, and a "Soldier Assault" has become popular Wang Baolan, Zhang Shilin, Li Chen and a bunch of male movie stars.
A "Survival in the Wilderness" made Lu Ming popular all over the world, although many people were envious, but no one thought about it, and they didn't have the courage to think about taking over Lu Ming, not everyone has the life to enjoy this kind of treatment.
And the TV series "Shunyo", which has just premiered, also set a new high in the ratings of domestic TV dramas, which made Wang Baolan and Zhang Shilin fiercely popular again.
A "Infernal Affairs" has been of great help to all the actors involved, but there are only two people who have helped the most, Zhang Shilin and Andy. It is said that Zhang Shilin may become this year's actor, because his role is too good.
As for Wang Luo's first TV sitcom "Underground Traffic Station", only Wang Luo is the only one who is really popular, but other actors have now become the first choice for supporting roles in some crews.
After all, Wang Luo actually didn't make a few people popular, but who doesn't want to cooperate with Wang Luo like Zhao Simin? What if it really goes viral?
"Of course, after this drama is over, I plan to start filming Infernal Affairs 2 directly, are you interested in joining?" Wang Luo smiled slightly and sent a formal invitation to Zhao Simin.
Change the actor's place of origin, this is what must be done, Infernal Affairs 1 was not released in the mainland at all, and in that era, it was impossible to have a too high box office, in the mainland it was generally a small video hall or something, and all I watched were CVD, DVDs and the like, and it was impossible to get a high box office.
But now the situation is different, there are still two mainland players Zhang Shilin and Wang Baolan participating in Infernal Affairs 1, but in Infernal Affairs 2, Zhang Shilin has no way to participate, because he is dead in 1.
Therefore, Wang Luo has been thinking about which role to replace in Infernal Affairs 2? Replace a few mainland movie stars. Since you want to get a high box office in the mainland, it is necessary to invite mainland movie stars to join, you have to give people a hope, right?
And after seeing Zhao Simin, Wang Luo had the answer in his heart.
One is that two people know each other and have a certain understanding. The second one...... Zhao Simin is still in line with Wang Luo's requirements for this role.
"Huh? Let me shoot Infernal Affairs 2? Zhao Simin opened his mouth wide and said incredulously.
"That's right!" Wang Luo nodded with a funny face, and then looked at Zhao Simin very seriously, "Otherwise, why did I stare at you so much just now?" ”
Wang Luo didn't tell her that his squinting eyes just now had ideas, although it did remind him of the role of an actor, but at that time, Wang Luo was more attracted by Zhao Simin's figure.
To have a face, to have a chest, forehead, even if the butt is a little smaller, but it doesn't matter, a pair of long legs is enough to make up for the regret of a smaller butt.
"But...... I haven't made a movie. Zhao Simin was both surprised and a little timid, secretly glanced at Wang Luo, and said cautiously.
Who wouldn't want to make a movie? Don't look at Zhao Simin's fame in China now, but for now, that's it. If you want to go any further, you have to change the current model.
That is, gradually transforming to the screen, many actors are like this, starting with TV series first, and then going to make movies after becoming famous.
Zhao Simin has been planning to enter the film industry for a long time, but the sky can't help it, all of this is just Zhao Simin's unrequited love.
The domestic film industry is not in a recession now, unless there are actors in the background, directors generally don't like to use newcomers very much. Even if there is a shot in the arm from Infernal Affairs, it will take at least one to two years for the film industry to turn around.
During this period, major film and television companies will definitely shrink their money and accumulate strength. Wait until you've eaten Infernal Affairs thoroughly, and then come out and do a big job.
Therefore, Zhao Simin, who didn't have many opportunities, was terminated for a role that was originally talked about. Therefore, Zhao Simin had no choice but to continue filming the TV series, and then slowly wait for the opportunity.
Joining Infernal Affairs 2 is definitely an opportunity for Zhao Simin. Even if it's just a female No. 3 in it, it's better than the female No. 2 I talked about earlier.
There is a box office of Infernal Affairs 1 2 billion there, which is destined to be much more concerned than other movies. If it's a newcomer, if there is such an opportunity, let alone a salary, even if it's upside down, there will be a group of people who want to get in.
"That's not important, it's not like I haven't brought a newcomer, besides, making a TV series is no different from a movie......" (to be continued......)
