Chapter 1035: I Don't Have Faith in You (Ask for Subscription!) )
Xu Shi'an was younger than Xu Yinglong imagined, originally Xu Yinglong thought that a man whose daughters had graduated from college was fifty or sixty years old. But when he saw Xu Shi'an, he found that there was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked even more than thirty years old due to proper maintenance.
If Xu Wenjin hadn't personally admitted that she was Xu Shi'an's biological daughter, Xu Yinglong really wouldn't believe that this was a father and daughter.
When Xu Yinglong and the others came in, Xu Shi'an was discussing the plot with several men and women, and when he saw Xu Yinglong and Ziyi coming in, he immediately got up to greet him.
"It's Mr. Xu and Miss Ziyi who are here, and they've worked hard all the way!" Xu Shi'an was personally invited by Su Wei to shoot "Against the Mortal Dust", but Su Wei did not hide Xu Yinglong's identity from Xu Shi'an, so Xu Shi'an was also the only one in the entire crew except Ziyi who knew that Xu Yinglong was the financier of this play.
"Director Xu is polite!" Xu Yinglong also said with a smile.
And Ziyi looked like an acquaintance, and said: "Uncle Xu, it's not like we've cooperated once or twice, you're too polite!" ”
Xu Shi'an smiled and said: "Okay, I won't be polite to you, let me introduce you first, this chubby guy is Zhang Qiang, the assistant director of our crew, and he is also an old qualification in the circle." Originally, people had a 60 million film to carry him, but because I lacked a responsible assistant director here, I called him over, you two are the heroes and heroines of this film, and you can find Lao Zhang in addition to me in the future! ”
Xu Yinglong and Ziyi said in unison: "Director Zhang! ”
The chubby assistant director Zhang smiled and said: "Don't listen to Lao Xu's nonsense, if there is really a big production of 60 million for me to be a big director, how can I come to him to do it." In the future, we will have time to get along. You'll get to know me as a person. ”
Then Xu Shi'an pointed to a woman in her thirties next to her and said: "This is Miss Wang Meihua, the producer of the crew, and she is a famous screenwriter in China. High-grossing movies such as "The Legend of the Bride" and "Falling in Love with a Scumbag" are Miss Wang's works, and Miss Wang's main responsibility is to focus on the script. In order to maintain the original appearance of the script, give advice to the director on the filming work. ”
Xu Shi'an introduced the crew's field affairs, set designers, lighting engineers, makeup artists, stylists, etc. to Xu Yinglong and others one by one, and then talked about the start-up.
"Originally, this film was supposed to start ten days ago, but due to the lack of preparation at that time, and the male and female protagonists did not arrive, it has been postponed until now. Seeing that the Chinese New Year will be in a while, it is necessary to hold a start-up ceremony as soon as possible. ”
Ziyi immediately said: "I'm really sorry, Xu Shao and I were filming MVs abroad some time ago, which delayed everyone's plans, please forgive me." ”
"It doesn't matter. That's because of the schedule problem, try to schedule in the future! Xu Shi'an said.
"After such a long time of preparation, everything before the start of the film has been taken care of, and now that Xu Shao and Ziyi have also arrived, I want to do the opening ceremony of "Reverse Dust" tomorrow, what do you think?" Xu Shi'an said again.
"No problem, we have already greeted them before on the media side, and it only takes a phone call to solve it, and it is even more problematic on our own side. When the time comes, you can go up and say a few words, and it's done! Zhang Qiang said with a smile.
"Well, since everyone has no opinion, let's do it!"
Then Xu Shi'an continued: "You haven't read the script of this play, give you two days to familiarize yourself with the script and memorize the lines." Shooting will start two days later! Got a question? ”
"Nope!" Xu Yinglong and Ziyi said at the same time.
"Meihua, do you have a printed script there?"
"Yes!"
"Go back and send one to Xu Shao and Ziyi, the two of them are the hero and heroine. Familiarize yourself with the script early so that you don't have problems. Xu Shi'an said.
"Okay. No problem! Wang Meihua nodded and said.
After chatting for a while, I talked about some of the details that I paid attention to at the start-up ceremony. Then Xu Shi'an asked everyone to go back, but he left Xu Yinglong alone.
When only Xu Yinglong and Xu Shi'an were left in the room, Xu Shi'an smiled and said: "Xu Shao, your identity Su Weisu has already told me, so although I am the director of this play, we still need to cooperate with Xu Shao to play the whole play, so I want to know how many days of filming you can squeeze out now?" ”
Xu Yinglong thought for a while and said: "If you say a year ago, it will be 15 days at most, because I still have a concert to be held a year ago, and the company started to promote this matter a month ago, and all the tickets have been sold out, and they can't be rescheduled!" ”
"Well, although it's a bit small, I hope to catch up with the schedule when filming, and strive to finish the first 50 scenes!"
Then Xu Shi'an asked again: "Xu Shao, how well do you know about this play?" ”
Xu Yinglong frowned and said, "Is Director Xu asking me about the plot of this drama or other aspects?" If it's a plot, I basically know everything.,In fact, the original work of this book is me.。 ”
"What, Xu Shao, you are the screenwriter of this movie?" Xu Shi'an asked in surprise.
"That's not it, what I wrote is a story similar to a novel, about 200,000 words. But since I don't know how to write a screenplay, Su Wei took my book and found someone to adapt it into a screenplay. So I basically know the outline and plot of the story, but I haven't seen the adapted script, so maybe I don't know the specific lines yet! Xu Yinglong said.
"Oh, I see! But as long as you know the general storyline, it's pretty good compared to the others. Xu Shi'an said.
"Director Xu has a good reputation!" Xu Yinglong said with a smile.
"I don't say this because you are the investor of this drama or because you are the new little king of Huaxia, but because this is the case. I've been a director for so many years, and I've made fifty or sixty books, so I know the crew's affairs very well. It can be said that there is a bad atmosphere in the crew now, and some actors don't read the script well at all. ”
Then Xu Shi'an continued: "Especially some well-known young actors, they are all assistants who follow closely step by step and take care of them meticulously. The actor leaned back on the recliner and threw the script aside. When it's time to shoot, I read the script, and I only look at my own lines, I don't figure out the whole at all, I don't look at the opponent's lines, I can't even memorize the lines, or I can't act and simply change the words, how simple and how to save trouble. Such a performance is easy to skip the play and is irresponsible for the work. ”
"And people like that, that's fucked up!" Xu Yinglong said speechlessly.
"To be honest, I was very hesitant after only telling Xu Shao's identity at that time. This book really appeals to me.,As a director, I'm well aware of the potential of this book.。 If it is filmed well, I dare not say that there are more, and the box office of one billion is definitely guaranteed. If the effect of the stunt is better by then, two billion will be possible. But I'm very unconfident in Xu Shao, you! ”
"Why?" Xu Yinglong asked in surprise.
"First of all, Xu Shao could only be regarded as a singer before, and he had no experience in filming, which made me very worried about whether you could handle this role. If you're just playing a supporting role, I'm not too worried, but you're the lead actor in this play, and you're going to run through the whole play. Whether your performance is good or not directly affects the effect of the whole play, and it also affects the future of this book and the hundreds of people in the entire crew, including you and me. ”
"Secondly, you are now a famous name in China, and you can be regarded as a palace-level figure in the music industry, plus your background is extraordinary, such a person is inevitably a little arrogant. If you bring that bad temper on the set, it's really hard to solve. ”
"In the end, you are still the big financier of this drama and the producer, and I, the director, am also working for you to put it bluntly, what if you don't listen to me? So based on the above three points, I really hesitated for a few days. But in the end, it was this book that moved my mom and made me want to stop! ”
Xu Yinglong smiled and said: "Don't worry, you are the person in charge on the set, I am just a small actor, we strive to cooperate with each other to make this drama effective." ”
"Well, I believe you!"
