Chapter 61: The Hero!
Half a month later, this life was finished and began to enter the post-production stage, Feng Dawei came to Mengxin Studio to discuss the specific matters of the next movie after participating in the finale ceremony.
In addition to Feng Dawei and all the staff of Mengxin Studio, screenwriter Xingyu also came here. In this way, the director, screenwriter, starring and investors all gathered together for the first formal exchange on the film.
"In the past half a month, I have read the script several times, and I didn't say anything at the beginning and end, but there is a lack of highlights in the middle, which needs to be corrected, I have written it down, and the screenwriter is revising it, which can be used as a reference." Feng Dawei said to Xingyu, and then handed a notebook to the other party, he came here today, not to simply meet to reassure Wang Qi and Mengxin, he came with many things.
Xingyu took the notebook, and he also knew that he had many shortcomings, so he was still very excited to be guided by the great director, and he began to read it after opening it.
"Director Feng, I don't know how long it will take for the post-production to be completed?" Wang Qi asked, he knew that Mengxin and other women were also very concerned about this issue, but they were too embarrassed to ask, and the cheeky things were left to him to do.
"This life is a Republic of China film, and there is no need to add any special effects in the later stage, so the time should be very short, and it will definitely be completed within a month." Feng Dawei thought for a while and said.
"Huh? Another month? Wang Qi frowned when he heard this, after waiting for half a month, it would take another month? It's like a wife who is alone in an empty room and is eagerly waiting for her husband to return on a business trip, and finally stays up for half a month, and the candlelight dinner and erotic lingerie are ready, and she is suddenly told that she has to wait for a month if she has something temporary, isn't it torture?
"As far as post-production zuΓ² is concerned, a month is already a short time." Feng Dawei looked at Wang Qi and said, "You must know that some things are not in a hurry. β
"We're in no hurry." Mengxin said with a smile after hearing it, and then made a color at Wang Qi, signaling Wang Qi not to urge Feng Dao, if he was impatient, they would be waiting for him.
"Don't worry, you won't have nothing to do in this month's time, and I will keep you busy and feel that a month is a short time." Feng Dawei said with a smile, "I believe you have already read the script, and you should have a certain understanding of the characters, now what you have to do is to study the script and characters thoroughly during this month, and integrate the whole person into the characters of the script, and we will start filming directly after a month, so I won't give you too much time to learn and adapt, do you understand what I mean?" β
"You should tell the actors you are looking for." Wang Qi heard the leisurely words, then pointed to Ouyang Mengxin on the side, and said confidently, "We are the only one here, Mengxin is the only one here, you have also seen her appearance, I believe she will have no problem." In fact, she has been studying the script and the role for half a month, earlier than any actor's start. β
"I'm not talking about Dream Heart, I'm talking about you." Feng Dawei looked at Wang Qi and said.
"Me? What does this have to do with me? Wang Qi smiled, suddenly thought of his identity as an investor, and asked, "Are you talking about funds?" Rest assured, take it when you need it. β
"The matter of funding has nothing to do with me as a director, and what I want to say is that the matter of learning is indeed related to you." Feng Dawei sat up straight and said to Wang Qi seriously, "Because, I have decided to let you play the leading role." β
"What?"
Hearing Feng Dawei's words, not only Wang Qi was stunned, but even the other people in the room were shocked with wide eyes, unable to believe their ears, afraid that they would hear about it.
"Director Feng? What did you just say? You repeat? Wang Qi frowned, tilted his head, and aimed his ear at Feng Dawei, trying to make himself hear more clearly and accurately.
"You heard me right." Feng Dawei knew what Wang Qi and the others thought, so he repeated it loudly, "I said, I decided, you will play the leading role of the movie." β
After listening to this, Wang Qi glanced back behind him, and when he found that there was no one behind him, he was sure that Feng Dawei was talking to him.
"Let me play the male lead? Are you kidding. Wang Qi stood up from the sofa as he spoke, with a ridiculous expression on his face, "I know that the tone of what I just said may be a little rushed, but you can't play tricks on me with this kind of thing, we're talking about serious things." β
"Yes, Director Feng, don't make fun of him." Shen Junya pointed at Wang Qi and said, "I have also read the script, let's not talk about his acting skills, with his image, how can he play the leading role?" β
"It's almost the same as playing a hooligan." Jin Xiangyu pouted and said.
"How much do you mouth?" Wang Qi glanced at Jin Xiangyu and said, "I've already played a hooligan." As he spoke, he looked at Feng Dawei again, "Director Feng, your joke is too big, and it's not funny at all." β
As the heroine of the movie, Ouyang Mengxin, after hearing Feng Dawei's words, was first surprised, and then fell into contemplation, and did not squeeze Wang Qi like other women.
"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Feng Dawei took out a stern expression and looked at Wang Qi and the others in the room, "This is what I decided after countless nights of careful consideration. β
"Why?" Shen Junya asked curiously.
"Because I think he's very suitable for this role, and I also believe that he has the strength to play this role well." Feng Dawei's answer was very simple, and he was also very serious, so serious that people wondered if he was old, his old eyes were dizzy, what kind of eyes?
"Just him?"
Shen Junya and Jin Xiangyu invariably pointed at Wang Qi, although Jin Xiangyu is very close to Mengxin in terms of personality, but in terms of attitude towards Wang Qi, she is the same as Shen Junya, and even her expression is like me carved out of a mold.
Feng Dawei ignored Shen Junya and Jin Xiangyu, turned his head to look at Wang Qi and said, "Brother Wang, do you remember what I said to you when we were drinking together half a month ago?" β
Wang Qi was slightly stunned, and immediately remembered that the other party kept hinting that he was burrowing under the quilt that night, and said that he could become an actor superstar in the future, and he thought that the other party had drunk too much, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Do you think I was just drinking too much and talking about it? Sue sΓΉ you, no. Feng Dawei suddenly became stern, "Sue you, when I saw you playing a hooligan and a killer, I had already decided that I would definitely cooperate with you when I had the opportunity in the future, and you would play the leading role." Later, you sent me the script and wanted me to make this film, and I thought it might be an opportunity. So these days, I've been studying the script and the actor repeatedly, and I think it's perfect for you to play it. Now those actors are too creamy, and what I need is a male protagonist who can freely handle masculinity and gentleness, who can balance them together. β
At this time, everyone realized that Feng Dawei was definitely not joking, everything he said was true and from the bottom of his heart.
"I can tell you very clearly that the reason why I decided to make this film is not because of the remuneration, nor because of the dream, but because of you. In you, I see the aperture of light that only superstars have, you just lack an opportunity, as long as you are willing to enter the entertainment industry, then the light on your body will become more dazzling. In the end, Feng Dawei was even a little excited, he held Shuangquan tightly and looked at Wang Qi intently, as if he was attracted by the so-called light on Wang Qi's body.
"This ...... I think it's better to forget it, right? Wang Qi thought for a while and said, "The studio's first movie, it's better to find an actor with a certain box office appeal, those little fresh meat are not bad, not to mention that we are not shooting action scenes, I can't give full play to my strengths, I don't want to become box office poison, not to mention that as an investor, I don't want to see the movies I shoot end up in losses." β
"Nonsense, as a director, I care more about the box office than you, and I don't want to smash my own signboard." Feng Dawei said angrily, "Besides, your movie needs a lot of special effects, and the cost of post-production is definitely indispensable. The most important point ......! Feng Dawei's face suddenly showed a treacherous smile, "Didn't you promise me that except for the heroine played by Mengxin, everything else is up to me to decide?" So now, I've decided that you will play the leading role. If you don't act, then I won't shoot this film, you can watch it. After speaking, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, twisted his head to the other side, and stopped looking at Wang Qi.
When Wang Qi heard this, he scolded in his heart, damn, why did he fall into his own trap?
"Wang Qi, you can promise Director Feng." Ouyang Mengxin, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, "Since Director Feng recognizes you so much, what do you have to refuse?" And didn't you say that you have a dream and want to be a star? Now that the opportunity is in front of you, why did you turn it down? β
"Why do you say that?" Wang Qi looked at Ouyang Mengxin strangely, originally thought that she would also object, but he didn't expect the other party and Feng Dawei to stand on the same line.
"I think that if I play with other actors, maybe I will be nervous, and if you play the leading role, maybe I will relax and have a better appearance."
"That's right." Feng Dawei continued, "Mengxin is the first time to play the leading role, and he will definitely be nervous, the two of you can play together, you can practice anytime and anywhere, and I can rest assured." β
"I think Brother Wang is also good." The screenwriter Xingyu on the side suddenly spoke.
Wang Qi was a little crazy, in the eyes of others, it was a good thing for pie in the sky, but when he came to him, it seemed to have become a discus. In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to act, to be honest, when he participated in this life before, he didn't have enough drama addiction, but he just asked him to play the leading role, which was somewhat unsure.
"Can I do it?" Wang Qi asked suspiciously.
"Yes, it will work."
"Okay." Wang Qi gritted his teeth and said with a firm face, "Since you all said so, then I will be the leading actor." β
