Chapter 553: An Opportunity to Take Another Step
In the morning, the General Directorate.
Fang Liang is a student of Old Man Cheng, he joined the company at the age of twenty-five, and now he is in his early thirties. I thought I would just do nothing, but since I was promoted to section chief last year, my ordinary life has been broken.
That little junior sister like a female demon king, she called and harassed her at two ends in three days to confirm the latest policies and awareness trends here. He said it, it's a leak of secrets, don't say it, and you can be annoyed to death again.
Today is even more excessive, the other party ran directly to the office and took a document for himself to check.
Ouch, his head hurts when he looks at it.
"Application for the Third Phase of Film Power Exchange Activities and Related Screenings"
Organizers: Our two companies. Time: February 25, 5 days. Venue: Beijing Science and Technology Palace.
Contents: 1. Small-scale film fair, including finished films and script ideas, limited to film and television companies in the Beijing area. 2. Art film series screening, the tentative list includes "The Two of Us", "Red Face", "Man on the Road", "Incense", "Uniform" ......"
The front is nothing, and the egg hurts and the egg hurts in the last two titles. You must know that when Ning Hao and Diao Yinan filmed these two films, it coincided with the official crackdown period, and only because of the curve investment of a Hong Kong company and the fact that the director was penniless, they were very lucky to escape.
But no matter what, a ban is still a ban, even if the current environment is so relaxed.
"Xiaoying, you are an understanding person, why do you still put such a sensitive thing up?" Fang Liang said sadly.
"I don't want to ask your opinion, give me a happy word, okay or not?" Cheng Ying was particularly annoyed by his grinding.
"Well, this is equivalent to a side ball, no one is looking for anything to say, and someone will report it and it will be strictly investigated. To be on the safe side. Deleted, right? β
"Okay, anything else?"
"Nothing else, but you'd better prepare a case from the cultural department."
"I know!"
Cheng Ying folded the document and threw it into her bag.
Fang Liang got up and poured a cup of hot water and asked, "I don't understand, your boss doesn't shoot a good scene." What are you tossing around? β
"What do you mean by tossing? We just want to create a small market and let everyone communicate. The director won't mention it, do you know how many young screenwriters cry and shout every year to find investment, but they can't even enter the door? Let's get it now, we have a public platform, and those people have to save a lot of trouble. β
"Ho, your consciousness is high, admire!" He gave a thumbs up.
"How fresh! What good can we get when we are tired and tired, and we don't make money! She rolled her eyes.
"That's right!"
Fang Liang shrunk his neck. I can't wait to cover my whole body in that cup, and chatter: "Don't say it, your boss is really different." I've seen a lot of big names, ouch, that forced pretend, if you give him three points of face, you dare to go to Tiananmen to plant green onions. It's rare for your boss to do this, dare to say it. You can also do some practical things. Hey, a while ago I interviewed the new Chinese news agency. I think it's really right, our big country is so awesome, why doesn't there be a more awesome film festival? β
"Hah, even you know?"
Cheng Ying Yile, the other party was referring to what Chu Qing said at the Busan Film Festival last year.
"Just kidding! I'll tell you. The country is vigorously developing the cultural industry, and film is the top priority. What does the development of movies rely on, to put it bluntly, there are three things, stars, box office, awards, we have a booklet internally. Your boss is also ......."
"Go on!" She's listening to it with a lot of fun.
"No, I can't say it, it's easy to make mistakes!" Fang Liang's head was about to shake off.
"Hey, you!"
The eldest lady was instantly crazy, looking like she was going to eat him, and shouted: "I'm the most annoying to talk half-talking!" You're sloppy, don't grind! β
The creature swallowed his saliva and forced himself to say, "I really can't talk about this, hey, you put down the chair...... I'll tell you something else! β
"What's the matter?"
ββ¦β¦β
Fang Liang waved his hand, opened the door first and took a look, and saw that there was no one in the corridor and turned around and said: "Earlier, Duan Li Xianting set up a Beijing Independent Film Forum, and a large number of people were organized in Songzhuang, and the official did not admit it at all, you must not get involved." β
"Who is Li Xianting?"
"An old rascal, you don't care."
"That's nothing to do with us, we didn't mix it up." Cheng Yingqi said.
"It's so stupid, the officials don't want to see them, because they are too dangerous, but you can make a fool of yourself!"
β¦β¦
Near noon, the eldest lady came out of the main bureau and got on her pony 6.
She was turning around on the Xizhimen overpass, thinking about the conversation just now, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became. With the last foot of the accelerator, he went straight under the bridge with three turns and two turns, which amazed the old driver who was lost.
Twenty minutes later, residential.
Fan Xiaoye was lying on the sofa, wearing a hydrating mask, Cheng Ying concisely recounted the matter, and said: "I always think he has a hint, but I can't think of it." β
"What's the hint, people tell you directly. Mixed in the shelving circle, who hasn't slapped the fart of the General Administration, you just think too much. β
"No, he is a timid man, but he has the right idea."
The eldest lady picked up a strawberry and put it in her mouth, and was silent for a while.
At this time, the TV in the living room was broadcasting the news:
"Since the recruitment of volunteers for the Olympic Games, the number of applicants has increased rapidly, which fully reflects the enthusiasm of the younger generation for the Olympic Games and their sense of responsibility for the country and the nation. In order to facilitate the participation of the masses, all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government have opened registration websites ......"
"Smack!"
She patted Fan Xiaoye's thigh and said excitedly: "I know!" β
"Oops! Are you sick? β
"Bingbing, you listen to me!"
Cheng Ying pressed the other party and said seriously: "Hurry up and call my brother back, don't wait for the Spring Festival!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
There are six investors in "Killer No Holiday", five are British companies and one is an American company, which is Focus.
Although the proportion is small, the right to speak is quite high. The focus is different from its parent company, Universal, which is very fond of small-budget art films, having produced Jamusch, AlmodΓ³var, and the Coen brothers. Sofia Coppola and other eccentric directors' works, as well as all of Li Yu's films.
The director of this play is Martin MacDonald, a genius storyteller who used to mix in the British theater industry before moving on to film. In 2006, his SixShooter won the Academy Award for Best Short Film. "Killer No Holiday" is the first feature film.
This guy has sparse silver hair, deep sunken eyes, and a straight facial line, like a stone that is cold and hard.
Last year, while traveling in Bruges, he was fascinated by the museums and churches there. At that time, two characters in the film were produced: one was obsessed with culture, and the other was addicted to alcohol, which formed the prototype of the film.
By now, the main line of the story has been completed. The character setting is not perfect. He insisted on selecting the actors, and then made up that small part.
In the afternoon, the audition room of Focus Company.
MacDonald tried to be as tactful as he could, though it still sounded so direct, and said, "I'm sorry, Stephen, I don't think you have the slightest bit of a boundary with the characters, and you don't even understand why Ray is crying." So ......"
"Sir, please give me another chance. I was well prepared, I was just too nervous......" the actor on the other side fought hard.
"SORRY, YOU'LL DEFINITELY HAVE A GOOD CHANCE, BUT NOW, PLEASE LEAVE." Graham, the producer, gestured unceremoniously.
"I, sir. Well......"
The man was helpless and went out dejectedly.
"Martin, this is the penultimate one, if you haven't been tempted, our hard work today will be in vain." Graham reminded.
"I know. But they really don't qualify, and I can't help it. MacDonald grimaced.
"Gentlemen, let's go as soon as possible, it's good that only ...... are left Oh! β
Another producer, Tessa Ross, suddenly exclaimed, "How did David (assistant director) choose the role?" Why is Chu here? β
"Chu?"
The two of them looked down, and sure enough, there was a photo of an Oriental man printed on the information.
"Hah! I heard he was trying his luck everywhere, and it turned out to be true! "Graham is also a veteran driver.
ββ¦β¦β
MacDonald stared at the photo, frowned slightly, and said, "Forget it, it's already like this anyway, call him in." β
"Okay!"
The staff immediately called someone, and after a while, the goods entered the house and greeted, "Good afternoon." β
"Good afternoon, Mr. Chu, I'm really not surprised to see you." Graham is half joke, half mockery.
"Thank you, a lot of people have told me." The other party was not angry.
ββ¦β¦β
MacDonald looked at it carefully, tall, thin, with a unique temperament and beautiful eyes...... If there is an effect, you can hear a series of plus signs in his heart, so he asks, "Why do you want to play this role?" β
"Because he's cute, there's a special human touch in it."
"The human touch? For example? β
"For example, he can't bear to kill his companions, he loves art, and he enjoys the life of ordinary people......"
"Wait!"
The director suddenly interrupted and said strangely: "Isn't it Ray who you want to audition?" β
"No, what I like is Ken!" He laughed.
ββ¦β¦β
All confused, please! Who doesn't know that Ray is the first protagonist?
After being stunned for a few seconds, the director asked, "Why are you, oh no, can you tell me what you understand about Ken?" β
"He's a little older and looks peaceful."
The thing was thorough, and he opened his mouth to come: "It's not the kind of indifferent or very indifferent peace, but the blood is pressed in the heart, and once it erupts, it will be unstoppable." β
"His voice was slightly lower, and his accent was indistinct, as if he was from the city and from the country."
"He's a little chubby, like my weight ......"
Ya compared it in the abdomen and said, "If you are about twenty pounds fatter, it will look very clumsy and the rhythm is slow, so he should walk like this......"
With that, he stood up and took a few steps around his chair.
The obviously thin body seemed to swell in an instant, the amplitude of the swing of the arms, the friction between the legs, and the slight sinking of the waist...... It's all as if it's fixed, and there's no sense of awkwardness.
The whole temperament turns, just like the kind of honest people that can be seen everywhere on the street, and will ask innocently:
"Hey, this is the hash pancake I just made, you can eat a small piece." (To be continued.) )
