169 First time I saw the star
When he received Zhou Xingchi's call, Liu Zhengwei was not surprised.
If he didn't have the name of Qing Yao, he would have to lobby a lot.
But with this Qing Yao, who has won numerous awards and is popular with an unknown Gu Tianle, Zhou Xingchi's promise is also in his expectation.
Zhou Xingchi is a smart person, it is better not to have this intelligence, how can he stand out among so many stars.
91, 92, and 93 dominated the box office for three consecutive years, and in 92 they won the top five box office records.
In the history of Hong Kong, this can be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented.
Originally, Liu Zhengwei thought that Qing Yao would delay the draft, and he had prepared for the worst, and gave him the script in mid-95.
In that case, he must finish the film in half a year and be able to release it in the New Year.
What I didn't expect was that she had just finished the script in March, and the quality was unexpectedly high.
Liu Zhengwei is an anxious person, and he can't wait for the script he likes to be filmed immediately, and then let everyone see the finished product and results.
This is an affirmation of oneself in what one loves and is good at.
For this film, Liu Zhengwei coveted great expectations.
Of course, because Zedong has just been established, and Wang Jiawei has shot a lot of films that are not popular before, the company's funds are a little stretched.
Thinking that Fu Qingyao's films were not only an actor, but also a producer, he called her to ask if she had any intention of participating in the investment.
Fu Qingyao was very confident in what she wrote, so she naturally agreed.
Hong Kong at this time. Investors are generally able to save money. The director naturally spends every penny on the cutting edge. Where is it like Fu Qingyao. has the vision of a previous life, and the investment in movies is casually tens of millions.
After seeing the wealth of Fu Qingyao's crew, Gu Tianle, who participated in Hong Kong's local production of movies for the first time, is still not used to writing. Liu Zhengwei is also a well-known director, but when filming, he is really slammed, and even the money for the lunch box can be saved, where is it like when filming "Hedong Lion's Roar", he often adds meals to the crew members.
Therefore, when Fu Qingyao said 30 million pre-investment. Liu Zhengwei was stunned. With this money, he and Wang Jiawei have both made a lot of movies, no wonder Fu Qingyao's movies are so well-made.
With so much money, his "Journey to the West" will definitely be applauded and popular.
After signing the contract, Fu Qingyao paid 10 million to Liu Zhengwei on the same day.
is rich and easy to do, and Liu Zhengwei, who is already extremely efficient, is even more prosperous, and in less than a month, the entire crew was packed to Beibao Film and Television City, Ningxia Town.
Located in the open wilderness on the northwest suburbs of Yinchuan City, this film and television city has the ruins of two ancient castles, known as "one of the best in China".
On the day of the start-up, Fu Qingyao saw the legendary Zhou Xingchi. Zhou Xingchi also met this woman who was even more legendary than him.
Heroes cherish heroes, to talented people. Whether it's a man or a woman, if you haven't seen it yet, you will always have your own speculation and imagination in your heart.
Although I knew that Fu Qingyao was beautiful, I still couldn't associate the beauty in front of me with the word "talented girl" when she looked at her eyes like paint, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, her lips were red and black, and her skin was soft and beautiful.
In Zhou Xingchi's stunned state, Fu Qingyao looked at him without a trace.
The appearance of Zhou Xingchi in reality is very ordinary, if it is not red, it is really the kind that cannot be found in the crowd.
Unlike the funny in the movie, he himself is very silent and introverted, not extroverted and lively at all.
Just like now, when the two met for the first time, it was Fu Qingyao who took the initiative to greet him, and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Master Xing, I have admired my name for a long time." ”
Compared with Fu Qingyao's cheekiness, Zhou Xingchi looked a little shy, and said slightly cramped: "Where is it, Miss Fu is both talented and beautiful, I have watched all your films, and they all acted very well." ”
I didn't expect the star master who was very funny on the movie screen to have such a character in private.
Fu Qingyao smiled slightly, "I can't afford to be your honorific title, Xingye, just call me Qingyao, Gu Zai also calls me that." ”
Both of them communicate in Cantonese, and this trip to the mainland is the first time Zhou Xingchi has come and is not familiar with Mandarin. Fu Qingyao spoke standard vernacular, and the distance between the two was also invisibly shortened in conversation.
At this time, Liu Zhengwei was busy, walked over and patted Zhou Xingchi's shoulder from behind, "Hey, Xingzi, you are here, have you talked to Qing Yao, you are all familiar with it." ”
Seeing someone he was familiar with, Zhou Xingchi breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, Miss Qingyao is even better than I thought. ”
Fu Qingyao covered her lips and smiled: "Director Liu, didn't you tell me that Master Xing was so humorous, I'm embarrassed to praise it." ”
Liu Zhengwei smiled "hehe", his chubby face looked very cute, "Okay, okay, don't praise each other, I'm embarrassed as an outsider." The makeup artist is ready, go and take the makeup photos. ”
Looking at Liu Zhengwei's Bodhi ancestor's appearance, Fu Qingyao smiled and said: "Director Liu, why don't you change your career to be an actor, your image is really good." ”
Liu Zhengwei shook off the dust, smiled and touched his fake beard, "I'm afraid that if I change my career to become an actor, you people will have no job!" ”
The three chatted for a while, and Fu Qingyao said, "Then I'll go change my costume first, and you can talk slowly." ”
Zhou Xingchi nodded at her, and when he saw her walking towards the dressing room, someone greeted her all the way, and couldn't help but envy: "She's really good." ”
"Qing Yao has a good personality, even if she has suffered so much, she can still treat people with a plain heart, not arrogant or arrogant. Xingzai, you still have to learn! Liu Zhengwei patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"She's suffered a lot?" Zhou Xingchi was slightly stunned, such a glamorous and charming beauty, has she actually suffered hardships? Look at her like that, it's not like it at all!
"People can't be good-looking, if there is no tempering of life, how can she be such a little girl who has come to where she is today."
After too many ordinary people became popular, they became arrogant, feeling that she was the only one in the world, and there was no humility at all. Most of such actresses can't stay in the entertainment industry for a long time.
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, compared with male stars, the road to interpretation of female stars is already short.
To put it bluntly, what I eat is just a bowl of youth rice.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, you go and set the makeup first."
"What about Zhu Yin, she came in front of me, why didn't you see her?"
"She's diligent, she's been in the dressing room for a long time, and it's estimated that the styling is almost done now."
After speaking, I saw Zhu Yin, who had already set her makeup, coming over from the dressing room.
Looking at Zhu Yin, who was in a black undershirt, covered with a white gauze coat, with delicate makeup and long hair and a shawl, even Zhou Xingchi, who had worked with her in several plays, was a little stunned, until she came over and smiled: "What a beautiful girl." ”
"Isn't it pretty?" Zhu Yin raised her hands and stretched out her hands and turned around, "At the beginning, when I saw this costume, I thought it would be too ordinary, and I thought it would not look good." ”
"That's great, because most of the scenes will be shot in the sand, and this look must be very good." After a few circles around her, Liu Zhengwei smiled, "I know why Qing Yao insisted on asking you to play the role of Zixia." ”
Zhu Yin's face shape was not originally the standard classical beauty type, just in terms of facial features, at least Lan Jieying, who played the spider spirit in the play, was better than Zhu Yin's face shape.
But as Fu Qingyao said, beauty is not the only criterion, the most important thing is suitability.
Zhu Yin's facial features are heroic, and she has a temperament that dares to love and hate from her bones, which is very suitable for the role of Zixia.
At least more suitable than Fu Qingyao herself.
Compared with the character of Zixia, Fu Qingyao's role in the fairy Guanyin is the best.
Of course, unlike the somewhat inferior studio clothes in the movies in the previous life, with enough funds, the clothes in the crew this time are very exquisite. Especially the heroine's several sets of clothes, although they are elegant, they are full of texture and temperament.
Especially the red dress that Zhu Yin wore when she and the Bull Demon King got married, the red was as gorgeous as fire, and the embroidered patterns on it were delicate and lifelike. What surprised everyone even more was that Fu Qingyao actually asked Zhou Qizhi to make a set of pure gold head jewelry, which was exquisite and complicated, and very beautiful.
Hearing Liu Zhengwei say this, Zhu Yin was stunned, originally she thought it was the credit of director Liu Zhengwei, but she didn't expect it to be recommended by Qing Yao.
Zhou Xingchi on the side was also thoughtful, could it be that Fu Qingyao is really as said in the news, eclectic and talented, as long as it is a suitable person, whether it is an ordinary person or an actor, she can get her blue eyes.
The premise is that you have to fit her script and fit the role.
"It turned out to be recommended by Qing Yao, I thought it was Director Liu who thought I was suitable."
Liu Zhengwei shook his head, "Although I have watched your plays before, you are acting in modern films, and I have never seen your costume style, so the first consideration will naturally not be you, but Qing Yao thinks that your face shape is very good, and your temperament is also very consistent, so she recommended you to me." She's a screenwriter, so of course I have to take her opinion into account. ”
"Then I'll have to thank Sister Qingyao later." Zhu Yinshang became popular when she was studying because of her role in "Truant Dragon", she is one year younger than Fu Qingyao, calling her sister is not only a kind of respect, but also a way to get closer.
"Well, it's time to thank her, okay, don't talk about it, you figure out more about the lines and the inner drama of the characters, if you don't understand anything, ask Qing Yao. She is a screenwriter, and she should know the character of Zixia best. Liu Zhengwei has great expectations for this play, and naturally he doesn't want the first heroine in it to fail because of her young age.
Even a hairy boy like Gu Tianle who has never acted can have a box office of nearly one billion movies, and their group has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, isn't he as powerful?
As a stepping stone to open this place in the mainland, Liu Zhengwei spent a lot of thought on this movie, only succeeding, not failing.
Taking a deep breath and cheering himself up, he didn't mention it. (To be continued......)
