On the third day after the year-end meeting, the company had a holiday.

Wang Xu took the newlywed Zhuang Xiaodie back to his hometown, this Spring Festival little couple basically spent at the wine table, drinking at their own house today, uncle's house tomorrow, and going to their mother-in-law's house to drink the day after tomorrow.

The Spring Festival passed in a blur.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the company opened.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Xu convened a meeting of the core staff of the studio to study the preparations for "Journey to the West".

Some people say that making a movie is actually equivalent to forming a business, with management, different departments, and different workshops. For example, the props team of "Journey to the West" needs to have a workshop that can accommodate hundreds of people to make various props, and the costume team needs someone to manage twenty or thirty costume designers.

After three years of exhibition, Golden Hammer Film and Television already has rich experience in managing a big movie project, and there is no need for Wang Xu to worry about it, he is now discussing with everyone the actress of Zixia Fairy.

Master Liu and Liu Yifei have been passed one after another, the former is filming a TV series, and the latter went abroad to study music courses. Other female stars like Lin Zhiling, Shu Qi, and Fan Bingbin are not the Zixia Fairy in Wang Xu's mind. There is another actress who meets his requirements, that is, Xiaolongnu Li Ruotong, but this one is the same as Zhu Yin, and she has not considered making a comeback in a movie for a short time.

You may have to ask, is it so difficult to choose a Zixia Fairy with such beautiful women in the Chinese film industry?

Yes, sometimes it is very difficult for a director to choose an actress who matches his mind, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack. For example, in the film and television industry, it has been difficult for many directors to find a "pure" girl.

Zhang Yimou's "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" in order to select a heroine "Jingqiu" with pure eyes, sent a number of working groups, scattered every day in Nortel, China Opera, Communication University of China, and other places where "seedlings" appeared, and squatted for several weeks. But none of the selected girls became the "Jingqiu" in Zhang Yimou's heart. After the candidacy of the capital was rejected. The crew has successively played roles in well-known art academies in Shanghai, Nan*jing, Chengdu*du, Shen*yang, An*shan, Xi*'an, etc. In the end, the new generation of "Mou Girl" who stood out from thousands of candidates was Zhou Dongyu, a senior high school student in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.

Similarly, in order to find the role of "Bai Ling" in "White Deer Plain", the crew traveled all over the country to art academies and interviewed more than 3ooo people. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In addition, the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" also had a "big fight" when it was casting, looking for "dream people" all over the country for half a year. After the result was filmed, although the actor was very young, he still did not have the classical feeling of Cao Xueqin's "watery woman".

With the above facts, it is not difficult to understand why Wang Xu is worried, because "Journey to the West" is a classic in his heart, and the Zixia Fairy he asks for is perfect.

The conference room fell into deep thought, and if it was not possible to decide on a suitable actress, it would have to postpone the shooting. Come to think of it. Wang Xu put forward an idea: "We only have to choose a new person." ”

"I'm in favor of using newcomers." Called the beast was the first to agree, and also said his reason, with Wang Xu's appeal in the comedy film industry now, unless the actresses are Lin Qingxia, Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, Zhang Manyu, or others. Whether it is Liu Shishi or Liu Yifei, they are actually just beautiful vases.

"Our movies have formed a word of mouth, and if we choose a newcomer to be the female number one, it will create a topic. The publicity effect is no worse than that of a first-line actress, like Chen Long's zodiac sign has enabled new actors. ”

It makes sense, and everyone nodded in favor of using newcomers.

But newcomers will spend some time costs, just as everyone was discussing sending several teams to interview newcomers across the country, Zhao Rongrong and Chen Ruan were whispering, and after a while, the two raised their hands at the same time.

"Brother Sledgehammer. Can I nominate a candidate? ”

"Okay, what good candidates do you two have, say it and refer to it."

Zhao Rongrong smiled slightly and said, "I think we want Zhao's Zixia Fairy, far away in the sky!" ”

"Don't sell it. Who? "Wang Xu is a fan of the authorities, and he can't remember who it is for a while. The others reacted quickly, who else in the whole company except the boss lady!

Zimo slapped his thigh and said happily: "Oops! Rong Rong is so right, Fairy Zixia is right in front of us? ”

"You don't think it's Fluttershy, do you?"

Wang Xu finally understood, and at this moment he said that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and Zhuang Xiaodie pushed the door in. It turned out that it was lunchtime, and she saw that everyone was still in a meeting, so she came in and asked.

Zhuang Xiaodie was about to say that it was time to eat, when she suddenly saw everyone's eyes on her. She involuntarily looked down at her clothes, and wondered, "Why are you looking at me like this, is there anything on me?" ”

"Nothing, Fluttershy, come here, I've got something to tell you." At this time, Wang Xu stood up with a smile and pulled Zhuang Xiaodie to sit beside him.

At this moment, he was really happy in his heart, the love between Supreme Treasure and Zixia Fairy in the film is poignant and moving, only true lovers can perform perfectly, the regret of Zhou Xingchi's version is that the Supreme Treasure and Zixia Fairy on the screen are a pair of lovers who depend on each other for life and death, but in reality, the two are lovers, but unfortunately they broke up later, and they are strangers.

If Fluttershy plays Fairy Zixia, she will be able to make up for this flaw from Wang Xu's heart.

Wang Xu told Zhuang Xiaodie about the situation, and after she heard it, she looked at everyone and said in surprise: "You said you want me to play the Zixia Fairy?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Xu nodded and said, "I'm really a little confused, I can't think of Fairy Zixia getting along with me day and night!" ”

"But I can't act?" Zhuang Xiaodie quickly shook her head.

"Fluttershy, you don't know how to act!" When the beast spoke, he said, "You are like a blank piece of paper, so that it can be sculpted, and if it is a piece of paper full of writing, it is troublesome." ”

"Don't worry, you're also often on the set and know what's going on with filming. With me and Rong Rong, and everyone to help you, no problem. Wang Xu encouraged.

"Sister, you know, I don't understand anything, and I haven't come over yet." Zhao Rongrong also helped to encourage her.

"Alright then, I'll give it a try."

With the encouragement of her husband and the others, Fluttershy agrees to the performance. Everyone was very happy that finally all the important actors of the film were gathered.

Next, Wang Xu arranged for Zhao Rongrong and a teacher to serve as Fluttershy's instructors, and she was responsible for training her in some basic common sense, such as how to face the camera, move around, and so on. At the same time, Wang Xu also helped her study the script together and ponder her acting skills.

At the end of the meeting, several leading actors were notified to come to the company next week to try on the designed costumes.

The following 3oo words are free for everyone to enjoy:

I saw a so-called Internet public "bombardment" of China's evacuation of overseas Chinese in Yemen and Nepal on Weibo:

[China's Evacuation of Overseas Chinese: Brutal Selfishness Under One-sided Reliance on Hard Power] In the recent evacuations of overseas Chinese, China's great-power chauvinism has caused a bad reaction in the international community: 1. Forcibly renting all local cars, occupying the airport runway, and only allowing domestic planes to take off and land, regardless of the life or death of others; 2. Through diplomatic pressure, the hotels of neighboring countries are fully booked; 3. Collusion with the border police of neighboring countries, only releasing Chinese, ignoring the police to beat other people who tried to cross the border and climb the evacuation passenger liner.

[Let the Chinese go first, Nepal's evacuation of overseas Chinese and see the chauvinism of a big country] The diaspora of various countries in Nepal earthquake, anxiously waiting for the evacuation of China, staged the Libyan evacuation of overseas Chinese: first the behemoth of China Eastern Airlines Air China took the lead and occupied the airport, and then the airport security check only allowed people from China and a certain big country to go!

And then what the public didn't expect was that the comments were overwhelmingly praising the motherland-

"I am relieved to see the motherland so rogues!" (To be continued!)
