Chapter 403: Ma Liwen
Ma Liwen was born in the south and moved to the north to live at the age of six.
She graduated from the Chinese opera directing department and began to write and plan pig feed advertisements in an advertising company. Later, he did scene notes and worked as an assistant director, but he was quickly kicked out of the crew for the reason that he was not competent.
In 96, she planned to shoot her debut film "The One Who Loves Me the Most in the World", but it was stranded for a while due to financial problems and was not restarted until 2001.
"The Two of Us" is the second part, the script was written in 02, and it was also a lack of money and strength, and the owner was never found. She remembered to find a studio, and she also listened to her friend's advice, saying that there is an independent film god here, as long as the book is good, she will survive.
So, she came to try her luck.
Ma Liwen is thirty-three years old, likes to wear jeans, wears some thinning hair, and looks like a young woman. She usually rarely wears makeup, instinctively hates those rouge gouaches, and always walks around with a face of clear soup and noodles.
But today, she specially put on some light makeup, because she knew that she was not good-looking, and even a little mean. After all, the owner of the gold is a man, and when a man looks at a woman, he will always care about his appearance.
Of course, Chu Qing noticed the smell of this woman's incense powder, and didn't have any crooked thoughts, but felt that she was smarter than Li Yu.
Li Yu is a pure old man, he is a ruthless person who has the wrong birth and dares to sell his house for money to make a movie. Ma Liwen is much softer, and knows how to use her own advantages to win attention or sympathy.
The world is like this, directors are not easy to mix, and female directors are even more difficult to mix.
At this moment, she was sitting on the red soft leather sofa, looking at Chu Qing behind the desk, her palms were already sweaty.
"Huh!"
Chu Qing turned the page again and looked very carefully. Almost word-for-word silent reading.
First of all, this name is the biggest interest, at first he thought it was a romance movie, and even narcissistic thinking about it, it may also be a story written for himself and Fan Xiaoye.
Because the signboard of "the two of us" is so popular in the film and television industry, who doesn't know these two people who do this?
But after turning a few pages, he found that he couldn't fight with love, but actually talked about the daily life of an old lady and a little girl. Soothing. Plain, no twists and turns, no deliberate sensationalism.
That kind of earth-shattering death and resurrection seems to remind the audience, hey, hey, you should cry, there is no zĂ i at all.
Life, where does it come from so much flesh and hemp, it's all bumping and bumping bit by bit. It was a wonderful bond.
In short, Chu Qing fell in love at once. It can be said that this is the best emotion he has seen in the past two years, surpassing "Incense". surpassed "Can't Forget", surpassed "On the Road".
The office was quiet, Ma Liwen didn't dare to say anything, waiting anxiously and depressedly. Another twenty minutes passed. Chu Qing finally put down the book and raised his head.
"What do you think?" She asked immediately, subconsciously using honorifics.
"Very good!"
There's a sense of satisfaction from the heart. Laughing: "Thank you for giving me this story." â
"Then, then you ......," Ma Liwen said happily.
"Hey, you're older than me, I don't need yours, I have to call you sister."
He stood up, refilled the two teacups, and said, "What is the cost of your own estimate?" â
"Uh, a hundred, one hundred and eighty thousand." She hesitated for a moment and pressed her budget to the brink.
"Huh?"
Chu Qing was stunned at first, then reacted, and understood that she didn't dare to offer a high price, so she said, "You wait a while!" â
As he spoke, the goods turned around and went out, flashed to the next room, and called Huang Ying:
"Hey Xiaoying, how much money do we have in our account? That's right, just the studio...... Two thousand, how many are two thousand...... Twenty-six million, okay, I know, bye-bye! â
It's no wonder that he asked, the two of them have been spending too much money recently, and they are swishing out.
And when she learned the specific amount, she immediately had a bottom in her heart, and came back and said: "In this way, I will give you 2.3 million yuan first, and you will save the group, if it is not enough, we will discuss it." â
"I, I ......" Ma Liwen was a little fragmented, unable to speak with her mouth open.
Chu Qing stuffed the script into the drawer, stepped on it twice in the house, was also very excited, and continued to bomb: "By the way, are you the producer yourself?" This year's market is very hot, and the whole of the capital is playing, and it is estimated that there will be no one to lend, so I can only send you an assistant. â
"Ah, okay, I'll do it!" She came back to her senses and finally burst out with a sentence.
"How long does the cycle take?" He asked again.
"Me, I plan to shoot a little bit in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and I have to do it for a year." She said weakly, for fear that the other party would turn her face.
"One year ......"
He groaned for a while and said, "Okay, you go back and make a plan for me, you need to be more detailed." Also, how to choose the role, do you have an idea? â
"That old lady, I don't think I want the traditional kind look. It's best to be fierce, so that the front is very disgusting, and when the feelings come out later, the effect will be more obvious. She has been thinking about this play for almost two years, and she has a plan in her heart, so she blurted out.
"Fierce?"
He squinted his eyes, brushed his face in his mind, and finally snapped at Grandma Li. There's no way, I'm familiar with such an old lady, and she's so fierce that I'm mad! Abuse crape myrtle madness! Childhood Shadows!
"How is Mr. Li Mingqi?" He laughed.
"Uh......"
Ma Liwen paused, it was not good to deny it directly, and said euphemistically: "Teacher Li Mingqi is a little younger, too, too rich." â
"Poof!"
Chu Qing immediately squirted, and couldn't help but laugh, alas, my mother, Grandma Li, you are so old, and some people think you are fat!
ââŚâŚâ
The other party was very embarrassed, and he didn't know what he said wrongly, so he had to laugh.
"You can put on makeup when you're young, anyway, let's try the play first, let's go to Mr. Li's house another day." If you're not satisfied, we'll look for more. â
"Well, okay." Ma Liwen thought for a moment, then nodded in response.
"Where's the pony? Do you have a favorite? â
"No, I've been looking for it since I wrote this script, and I haven't found a suitable one until now." She said depressedly.
Chu Qing also thought about it, and didn't have a clue for the time being, so he said: "Don't worry, let's look for it slowly, you go back first today, and I'll call you again." â
"Okay, thank you, thank you!" Ma Liwen got up, obviously excited.
âŚâŚ
After sending her downstairs, Chu Qing wiped back to the office, couldn't calm down at all, and walked around the room. An inexplicable sense of fulfillment lingered in my heart, and the whole person was very happy.
As an actor, when you encounter a good play, even if you can't act it, you still regard it as a treasure. What's more, he is also a producer, able to participate in it, watch it shape and complete in his hands.
It's hard to describe this feeling.
No matter how lazy Chu Qing is, being a person is also a bit ideal, he used to live a stable life, then he saved a little money, and then he made a good show and played a good role...... So far, it has become, a good drama, a good role.
In the film "The Two of Us", the beams are all on the shoulders of the old lady, which is directly related to success or failure.
He proposed Grandma Li as a candidate, although he meant to return the favor, but the old man's excellent acting skills were also one of the reasons. Taking a step back, even if Grandma Li is passed, there are still so many old drama bones in China, don't worry about finding them.
As for the little girl, temperament is more important than acting skills, and the most important thing is that kind of freshness and naturalness.
It's really hard to find, Chu Qing thought about it, and drew all the female stars he knew or didn't know, either the image didn't match, or he was too old, or he smelled of oil smoke and kitsch.
Zhang Jingchu was okay, but he totaled it and gave it a no: too soft and not cute enough.
As for Master Fan, hehe, his daughter-in-law has never been fresh since her debut, and she has been fighting monsters and upgrading all the way, and she has been killed in the sea of corpses and blood.
You let her play a perverted murderer, and she still has the potential to cultivate and cultivate.
Anyway, Chu Qing struggled with his brains, and the basic OVER of the active service was over, so he had to touch it in the rookie. The best places are undoubtedly the two major mountain ranges of Nortel and Zhongxi.
This time, he didn't let people come for an interview, and planned to go shopping by himself, which was really painful.
So, early in the morning of the 16th, the goods greeted Zhang Xianmin and ran to the door of Nortel.
Originally, I wanted to find the feeling of a private interview with a big coffee microservice, but I found out that it was not the material, so I bought a set of pancakes and went in. (To be continued......)
