Chapter 230: It's all done and the trouble is coming again
After "Latent", China's spy war dramas have also become popular, and many of them are strictly speaking, "Latent" follows the trend, but some of these works are indeed of high quality.
Especially this "Before Dawn", which is surprisingly high.
"Before Dawn" is not only highly rated, but also has no choice at all about ratings and the like, and the TV series has also become popular with Wu Xiubo, an actor.
Wu Xiubo is indeed a late-blooming actor, at the beginning, few people knew him, but he came step by step, and by the time of "Before Dawn", all the savings began to explode, and once he became famous, in China's entertainment industry, there are indeed a lot of late-blooming men, and they can't be counted, but there are basically very few late-blooming female stars......
This is a huge problem faced by actresses in the entertainment industry.
If an actress still has no achievements at the age of 28, then this life is basically like that, there are not many opportunities, and the future fire is relatively limited, and women really need to lay a foundation in their early twenties. But men, even at the age of 40, still have a lot of opportunities.
Wu Xiubo has received a lot of attention after "Before Dawn", especially liked by many women (indicating that Uncle Bo is the male god of this seat...... )。
Wu Xiubo has acting skills and good looks, especially this kind of appearance is really high......
Tang Wei is becoming Ang Lee's movie female number one, plus "Lust. Tang Wei is also a pretty good actress, although it was because of what was attractive at the beginning, but after that, she did go out of her own way and became a very literary actress......
These two people, it should still be a little difficult for Chen Xi to find them now, but no matter how difficult it is, he has to find them, because if Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo don't come to make this film, Chen Xi will feel that the quality of the film is difficult to come out.
In fact, at the beginning, Chen Xi didn't plan to directly get "Beijing Meets Seattle", he actually wanted to hand over the film to someone else to shoot, but this year-end summary did make Chen Xi feel more things, and also gave him more ideas about the future.
His current stall is indeed really spread, and it is very large, and even this has been opposed and questioned by many people, if he can't come up with enough money, then these can only become empty talk.
So Chen Xi is in urgent need of money now! He needs to use the box office and revenue of "Beijing Meets Seattle"! This movie should bring tens of millions or more money to the company......
Chen Xi now wants to finish filming this film before the Chinese New Year.
...... "Huh? New movie again? And in such a hurry? "Now when everyone hears the news, there is a word that many people use is 'right'.
Because in fact, this is also because many people have become accustomed to Chen Xi's radicalism in some things, and are accustomed to Chen Xi's style of showing some new plans and new film and television works with a wave of his hand, but there are fewer and fewer people who oppose this, because Chen Xi has used his later achievements again and again to prove that this qiē is useful. Including many of his previous films, even "Raid" has not yet been released, but it has broken the zero of Chinese films at foreign film festivals and completed a breakthrough.
And now Chen Xi's new movie is called "Beijing Meets Seattle", and the actors' schedules are better than they imagined before, because these two people basically didn't take on the drama before the Chinese New Year, so Wu Xiubo and Tang Weike are vacant on the schedule.
It's just that it's unknown whether the two of them will come over, on Wu Xiubo's side, the salary is not a big deal for Chen Xi, anyway, if he wants to, it doesn't hurt to give a little more, his main concern now is that Wu Xiubo will give up, because this is a person who values family and feelings, if he doesn't come by then, Chen Xi himself has no way anyway......
Tang Wei is a little easier to talk to over there, because her current fame is not quite big, and she was more or less famous at the beginning, and now if there is a movie like "Beijing Meets Seattle" to find her, she is relatively happy.
Chen Xi has quickly entered the state now, and has begun to let everyone prepare more for the filming of the movie.
Originally, Chen Xi wanted to relax a little in terms of movies this year, and directly shoot the movie that he wanted to open the door to the entire world market, and other things were not considered for the time being, but what he didn't expect was that he was now troubled by financial problems, so he had to think about shooting a movie to make some money at the beginning.
That's why "Beijing Meets Seattle" took shape, and although the film couldn't really be shot in those places in Seattle, it took a long time, a lot of energy, and a lot of money......
"Beijing Meets Seattle" is indeed quite unrealistic if it is filmed in Seattle, this is like that from many angles, because Seattle basically has no experience in shooting large-scale movies before, and there is also a lack of infrastructure for shooting films, which is a big deal, Chen regrets that they are not familiar with the place in the first place, if it is placed in China, it is better, even if the infrastructure of the film is not good, there can be other things to replace it, but in the United States it is different......
Therefore, "Beijing Meets Seattle" will choose to shoot in Vancouver, these things have to be communicated, but it would be better if you have money, in addition, it also needs to be filmed in the Empire State Building, and Chen Xi is not very sure about shooting on the Empire State Building, so he can only let the people over there in Xiguang also try to negotiate as much as possible, anyway, at least try to get to that place, not to say that the picture is "the first Chinese film crew to be filmed on the Empire State Building", It's that Chen Xi really needs to be at the top of the Empire State Building to be able to restore and shoot what the movie wants......
These things are actually quite trivial, one after another, and during this time, Tang Wei's reply came over, and she was willing to come over to shoot, so Chen Xi soon began to arrange tasks for her: let her quickly experience the life of a pregnant woman, although acting is a thing that accounts for a large proportion of talent, and it will not work if there is no talent, but the hard work and diligence in the later stage are indeed important factors.
Anyway, even good actors are not immortals, and it is impossible for them to play a professional person flawlessly without any life experience, so this kind of advance life experience is a must.
In addition, various preparations are also underway, and Chen Xi has now put the matter of chatting with Wu Xiubo on the agenda.
Chen Xi is going to see Wu Xiubo now, and he basically has to take time out, Chen Xi is really busy in the past two days, and there are many major and minor affairs in the entire company that still need him to personally take care of the purpose.
…… By the time Chen Xi took the time, Tang Wei had already experienced the life of a pregnant woman for a week, Chen Xi hurriedly ran to Jiangning to meet Wu Xiubo, Wu Xiubo would feel more handsome when he saw a real person than he saw on a TV or other lens, and he was actually not really quite calm, but it would make people feel a little childish, and he felt that he was more simple in his speech.
Chen Xi has seen many actors, and he also knows that most of the actors' personalities are relatively unique, and they are different from those who appear in TV series and movies.
Wu Xiubo is like this......
Because of some of Wu Xiubo's habits, Chen Xi chose to be in a vegetarian restaurant, Wu Xiubo does not eat meat, and basically does not take a plane if it is not particularly necessary, these are his habits, Chen Xi still understands it.
"Mr. Wu, that's probably what I said before." After chatting about his thoughts, Chen Xi also said a lot of things about this movie, and now he summed it up: "I think this movie can be the beginning of your successful entry into the film industry!" ”
Chen Xi's words made Wu Xiubo smile, obviously this is not particularly attractive to him, but he prefers the taciturn Frank in the movie but always touches people in some small places. And compared to Tang Wei's controversy that may be controversed by Xiao San, his role is not controversial.
Chen Xi continued: "It is very likely that this character will make you erect an unexpected surprise sign!" ”
Wu Xiubo said after a while: "I know all this, and I'm just thinking about one issue now...... Well, Director Chen, I'm sorry if I participate, but I hope you can focus my role a little bit, I still want to be at home before the Chinese New Year. ”
Chen Xi knew his concerns.
At that moment, he smiled slightly: "Okay, we will discuss with your agent in terms of schedule, and we will definitely be able to give you a very satisfactory schedule!" When he said this, Chen Xi's heart was also secretly relaxed, because he felt that the current Wu Xiubo should have been roughly settled.
Sure enough, Wu Xiubo directly said that he had decided this matter, which means that this is a certainty, although it is a bit unruly to say that Chen Xi crossed the agent to find Wu Xiubo, but now in this extraordinary period, Chen Xi really can't take care of it.
The main actors are done, and the secondary actors are relatively easy, and "Beijing Meets Seattle" is also being prepared at a rapid pace.
As the saying goes, people come from heaven when they sit at home, Chen Xi is now working hard to prepare a movie, but he has trouble finding him, and it is still a trouble in terms of public opinion...... R1152
