Chapter 206: The Quest Opens

"Marine! Soldiers! ”

Jiang Xuerou took the wine and said skillfully to the beginning: "Thanks to the two protagonists, without your excellence, there would be no hit of this play, I will give you a glass first." ”

"Sister Xue Rou is polite."

"It's all yours."

Huang Haibing and Fan Xiaoye each answered, shuttling back and forth at the dinner table.

After drinking with Jiang Xuerou, the two of them glanced at each other, poured a full amount of wine, and got up together and said, "Mr. Fan, we toast you, thank you for your care." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." That goods are also very face-saving and drink it up.

Boss, director, producer, actor...... Everyone has an accurate positioning, but Chu Qing is very embarrassed, just an actor's family member and assistant, how can he look like rice.

This is a private club, which belongs to Fan Xiaotian's property, and Jiang Xuerou used his place to entertain guests. There are no outsiders, Mengji, Huang Haibing, plus Chu Qing, a total of six. Wang Yan didn't come, but she rarely participated in these private gatherings, and she was bent on being a rich woman at home.

The banquet was mainly held to celebrate the hit of "The History of Martial Arts". At present, 40%+ in Jinmen area, 60%+ in Jiangxi Province, and the magic capital is a little less, only a dozen percent...... Overall, the national average rating is over 20 percent.

Of course, it can't be compared with the golden age of national dramas, breaking 40% at every turn, but now it is a TV series with the best results in the same period.

Chu Qing didn't have to come with him for a private banquet of this nature, but he had another careful thought: taking orders for his girlfriend.

This thing feels that his face has become thicker recently, and he has been grinding people in circles, and he has asked all those who have a little friendship, just to get useful resources.

Not to mention, there was really a surprise, Xu Zheng helped a lot, saying that Jiang Xuerou was preparing a new film and looking for him to be the male lead. It was not directly negotiated. Instead, he asked an acquaintance to go to the door, Xu Zheng couldn't wipe his face, and agreed before reading the script. As a result, when he got the book, he was instantly dumbfounded, he really didn't like to act in this kind of nonsense low-grade comedy, a Zhu Bajie was enough. It's a pity that there is no way, so I should admit it, so I have to pinch my nose and admit it.

People don't like to act, but Chu Qing can't wait for it, this is "Love Through Time and Space". The lord of Xianxian County, the eldest grandson of the Dugua Emperor, the legendary first domestic travel drama......

If Fan Xiaoye can really get on the line, then "The History of Martial Arts", "Li Wei as an Official" and this one, wave after wave, is simply a triple jump, and his value is firmly at the peak of the second line, and he can also stand in the TV circle.

It was getting late, and everyone ate and drank. After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere is slowly relaxed, and the topic is even more idle.

"Sister Xuerou."

Chu Qing saw that it was almost over, so he bypassed the Yellow Sea soldiers. leaned next to Jiang Xuerou, raised a glass and said, "You took care of the soldiers during filming, thank you!" ”

"Yo, I'm a little dizzy. Let's have a half glass. Her face was red, but she was not stingy, and she took a big sip of it.

He finished his toast and didn't leave. Deliberately poked somewhere. Huang Haibing glanced at it, this was a whisper, so he took the initiative to move his seat and said with a smile: "Heh, you talk, you talk." ”

Chu Qing was not polite, sat down with his ass, opened his mouth and said, "Sister Xuerou, I heard that you are going to start a new play?" ”

"Xu Zheng sued you?" She had long expected this kind of thing, and she was unhurried.

"Yes." Seeing that the other party understood, he didn't say much, and asked, "Well, does the soldier have a chance?" ”

Jiang Xuerou sat up straight, stroked her hair, and said seriously: "Actually, at the beginning, I thought about Bingbing, but I felt that she was not suitable for comedy, and I am currently contacting another actor." ”

"Zhang Ting?" Chu Qing blurted out.

"How do you know?" She was surprised.

"Uh...... Me, I've been asking everywhere. He said sweatingly.

Jiang Xuerou glanced at the other party suspiciously, shrugged her shoulders, didn't bother to investigate, and said: "I watched Zhang Ting's "Stunning Shuangjiao", she is very talented in comedy, and she is very suitable for this role. ”

Chu Qing intertwined his hands, his thumbs kept rubbing, and he was trying his best to find some reliable reasons, and he said half-loudly, "Sister Xuerou, can I tell me my opinion?" ”

"Why is it still up, you can just talk about it." She chuckled.

"Well, although Zhang Ting can act in comedy, her ancient costumes are not too prominent, and she even looks very old. But Xu Zheng's appearance is very tender, and the two of them seem to be a little awkward when they play a couple. What's more, she has to use dubbing in the later stage, you also watched "Stunning Shuangjiao", don't you think that voice is very uncomfortable? ”

Jiang Xuerou was stunned, recalled the monkey-like voice, and nodded: "That's right." ”

"Whether the soldiers can act in comedy or not, none of us know, you just let her try, if it really doesn't work, then I don't have the face to beg you."

Chu Qing's brain had never worked so hard in his life, and he turned rapidly, spitting out all the words that he could think of: "You have cooperated before, and you all know the roots, and besides, our soldiers are cheap." ”

Well, he silently apologized to his girlfriend, I really didn't sell you.

"Poof!"

Jiang Xuerou was so stupid that he laughed, and hurriedly covered her mouth, this thing also made some sense, weighed it for a while, and then said, "Hmm...... I can let the soldiers try the play, but if it doesn't work out, the director prevails, and I can't interfere. ”

"Understood, understood!"

Chu Qing hurriedly thanked him, and was about to toast again, when he heard someone on the other side of the table shouting: "Qingzi, what are you muttering all the time?" Penalty for drinking! ”

Fan Xiaotian was obviously drunk, staggered to his feet, and pointed at him to shake the bottle.

"Hey, Mr. Fan, I'll come, I'll come!"

He took the bottle, filled it himself, and said with a smile: "I did it!" ”

said that he drank it all, but Fan Xiaotian was not satisfied, waved his hand and said, "No, you have three cups!" Oh no, five cups! ”

"You can have a few drinks."

Chu Qing was not ambiguous at all, and he drank five glasses in a row, and both bottles of wine went down.

"Are you alright?"

Fan Xiaoye knew the amount of his boyfriend, and quietly tugged at his sleeve.

"No, it's fine."

He held his breath, for fear that the contents of his stomach would turn over all at once. After slowing down for a long time, I felt a little stronger, and I couldn't help but shake my head when I looked at my girlfriend who didn't know what was still eating happily.

At least until winter, the girls have jobs, and they are relieved.

…………

In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of April, the list of shortlisted candidates for the main competition unit of the 54th Cannes Film Festival was finally announced.

Speaking of this year's cast. Not to mention Godard and Oliveira, who are old immortals, the directors of the right years are David Lynch, the Coen brothers, Michael Haneke and a few others. Among the 24 shortlisted films, there is even a cartoon "Shrek" that is funny, which is like a live-action movie.

So much so that the media were powerless to complain: What's the matter, are you going to break the can? I'm not motivated!

Chinese-language movies are even worse, only Wanwan's two famous directors' works make up the number, Hou Hsiao-hsien's "The Name of the Millennium Mambo Rose" and Cai Mingming's "What Time Is It Over There". There are also Hong Kong filmmakers, who have been wiped out. But the mainland has coldly killed a rookie: Li Yu's "This Summer".

As soon as the list came out, the domestic media went crazy, and I thought where did this coffee go? There was not even a little brewing process, and the arrogance was too sudden. The most annoying thing for them to do entertainment news is that newcomers are disrupting the situation, and the manuscript can't be written at all, and there is not enough material.

So he began to toss all over the world, and his connections called one after another to see if he could interview Li Yu. And the rest of the low. You can only look for hard information with your head bored.

Ever been a host? No explosion, PASS!

Ever made a documentary? Barely usable.

A contemporaneous documentary that made a movie for Zhang Yi? Hey, that's right, it's very usable.

The first film was shortlisted for Cannes? Come on. It's a common-sense narrative, have you ever been a journalist?

flipped through the pages, and soon many people found an important piece of information: the producer column of "This Summer" had two big characters written on it. Chu Qing.

“……”

“……”

Hey, let's talk about being shortlisted for Cannes.

No matter how frantically harassed Li Yu was, Chu Qing patronized it anyway. He had received Resien's notice in advance. This French fat man really doesn't cover it, and newcomers and new works without heels can be carried into Cannes, but he also understands that if it weren't for the average level of the entries at this year's film festival being too bad, he wouldn't have been able to grab food for himself.

Of course, the excellent and classic grade of "This Summer" cannot be changed. The most optimistic estimate is to go to Cannes for a walk at most, get a small consolation prize, and then go home on your knees.

April seems to be a very good month, so perfect that Chu Qing almost thinks of it as his lucky month.

In addition to Reisan, Wang Chao also received news that he was sending "Anyang Baby" to Cannes to compete, and it has entered the small unit of "Director's Fortnight".

The so-called Director's Fortnight is actually a thing organized by the French Directors Guild, which does not belong to the Cannes Film Festival, but is only affiliated with its name, and the two sides do not interfere with each other. It's non-competitive, designed to unearth cinematic talent and hopeful, as well as to help hard-pressed filmmakers who aren't yet famous.

No matter what, after all, it is an honor, Wang Chao changed his usual sven and calm, and the sound of the phone call was with a trill.

But then, the media was sad again, this proper Nine Yin Absolute Vein, born with exposure resistance.

Your uncle's! You've been blocked, and you're a little conscious, so why can't you be honest and make a wool?

Then, following the two of them, Ah Guan also came to join in the fun, but he was inferior. Because the post-production of "Lan Yu" can not be completed until early May, it can't catch up with the competition, so it can only be used to participate in the exhibition.

Exhibition, it sounds very low, it seems that the kind of third-rate star went to Cannes at his own expense, rented a breastless bed sheet and poked it at the door of the movie palace, snapped a few full-body photos, and came back to public relations: Look, I also pressed the red carpet!

Well, he's not the black daughter-in-law.

Aguan's participation in the exhibition is to bring the film to the film festival and organize a private screening, which is small in scale and has few audiences, and the influence is almost none, but it can be regarded as gold-plated.

As for Chu Qing's side, he was bombarded with a series of news and dizzy, and when he woke up, he secretly pinched his fingers and counted, good guys, this film festival actually contracted three movies!

Tsk, I'm going to get an erection just thinking about it......

This is not over, after cutting out the above parts, the labor certification that he urgently needs most urgently in front of him has also been obtained, and he will leave the mainland and go to the new world.

From '97 to now, it's really not easy.

"Xiao Wu", "Suzhou River", "The Devil is Coming", "The Poetic Age", "Platform", "Anyang Baby", "Lan Yu", Ya finally gathered seven banned films, summoned the dragon, and opened the Hong Kong copy.

(Well, in the end, thank you to Beibei Haiming for giving me a poem: I am always in a bad mood, weak and delicate, stateless all year round, and often lose my temperament.) (To be continued......)
