Chapter 17, Do You Want to Play Basketball?
Brother Long looked at Director Lin Xian with some displeasure, and Director Lin Xian was embarrassed.
Meng Ran listened to the other party's silence, and explained a little embarrassedly: "Director Lin, it's not me who is playing music or the lion opening his mouth, it's really that I have something unspeakable." I'm Dimuti's agent, if I go to filming, what will Dimuti do? This time it's not on the coast, but on the Star Flag Country. So... If you ask Brother Long, Dimuti's conditions are also quite good, if it is an action scene, I can personally guide her, I believe there is no need for the crew to bother too much. ”
Director Lin covered the microphone and whispered to Brother Long: "What he said does make some sense, you see if there is a female number two or something in your movie and there is still a shortage of people, Di Muti, this little girl's acting skills are also quite good, why don't you let her audition?" ”
Brother Long thought seriously and nodded.
Director Lin replied: "That's it, wait a minute, I'll send you a line, you take a clip with Di Muti and send it to me, I'll show Brother Long, if Di Muti's acting skills are qualified, Brother Long will consider giving Di Muti a role." ”
"Okay, thank you very much."
Hanging up the phone, Meng Ran looked at Di Muti who was filming, smiled slightly, and walked over. It didn't take long for Director Lin to send him a line and background, Meng Ran looked at it, went through it in his heart, and counted it himself. At the end of a scene, Meng Ran called Di Muti and told Di Muti about Brother Long's audition. Dimuti is very excited, because the people who can make Brother Long's movies are the top acting skills in the circle. She must seize this opportunity!
Meng Ran told a few photographers in the photography team about this matter, they have become buddies during this time, and it is not a problem to borrow a camera to shoot an audition clip. The leader of the photography team personally set up the machine to shoot this audition clip and uploaded the video to Meng Ran's computer.
Meng Ran thanked everyone, Dimuti was about to start filming, Meng Ran was also going to cut the video, and promised to invite everyone in the camera crew to dinner in the evening, Meng Ran got into the car and turned on the laptop, connected to the mobile phone hotspot and began to cut the film......
Brother Long and Director Lin Xian were drinking tea, and Brother Long said to Director Lin: "I watched that clip of your film, this kid is good, he is ruthless, and he should be a ruthless character in reality." ”
Director Lin put down the teacup, thought for a moment and said, "How do you say this... I think he's a lover. Except for the video of Gang Yunkang yesterday, and then the need for filming, I rarely see him so ruthless the rest of the time. ”
Brother Long smiled understandingly and said, "Chong Guan is angry and red-faced, this kid is still a little bloody. In such a comparison, Gang Yunkang is not a man at all. I knocked someone down and ran away without looking back, coward. What's the use of muscle bulging, cowardly wrap one. ”
Director Lin laughed and said, "Okay, don't mention him if you're a coward." If I'm guessing correctly, Meng Ran will send us the audition footage after a while. ”
"Really?" Brother Long took a sip of tea and asked, "That guy isn't that fast, right?" ”
Director Lin added tea to Brother Long and said, "He has been filming for a while, and this person is also very efficient." As long as you have work in hand, you must finish the work at hand as quickly as possible. I tell you, when you see him, you'll know how good he is. ”
Brother Long still didn't believe it. Director Lin's mobile phone vibrated a little, he unlocked the phone and looked at it, and the mailbox reminded him that Meng Ran had sent a new email. Director Lin took his mobile phone and opened the mailbox, and said happily: "What do I say, what do I want, so I'll send a video." When Brother Long heard this, he choked on his tea and coughed violently.
Director Lin took the iPad and clicked on the video of the mailbox. The plot of the clip is that two kung fu couples who broke up because of a misunderstanding met for a long time, and the two of them talked and talked directly, and in the end the man won, and it was over with a word around the woman's waist.
In the video, Meng Ran and Di Muti performed a state where two people missed each other for a long time but were stubborn with each other. As she spoke, Di Muti was about to leave, Meng Ran took her hand, and Di Muti turned around and beckoned Meng Ran. The two of you are very happy to fight back and forth. In the end, Meng Ran tripped Dimuti, hugged her waist, stared at her eyes and said gently: "Since you can't beat me, then replace me to protect you..."
The leader of the camera team who recorded the video said a click and ended the recording. Director Lin looked at the progress bar and said, "There are still a lot of plots behind this, let's watch it." ”
Behind is Meng Ran's teaching Di Muti some fighting and kung fu moves, a video of the two people fighting and training, and some mistakes and laughter during filming. At the end of the progress bar, Brother Long slapped the table and said excitedly: "This person is simply amazing!" That's it, Lao Lin! That's it! I just don't know what to say! And that actress Dee... Dee what's going on? ”
"Dimuti."
"Yes, yes, that's her! Both of them are settled! Just the two of them! One has a foundation, and the other can learn the moves so well in a short period of time, which is simply amazing! ”
Brother Long was excited to make a direct decision, Director Lin Xian saw that Brother Long was so excited, and silently spit out a groan and said, "I think you like the easter egg behind them very much, right?" ”
"I love that, too!" Brother Long did not hide his liking at all. calmed down a little, Brother Long took out his mobile phone and personally called Yang Xi to invite Meng Ran and Di Muti to make his own movie. Yang Xi understood the situation, hung up the phone and hurriedly checked Dimuti's later itinerary. Yang Xi has a good relationship with Brother Long, so Brother Long spoke, Yang Xi will definitely try his best to help, not to mention that Brother Long's movie is a Chinese New Year movie, and the box office reputation will definitely be very high. So... After weighing it, Yang Xi personally contacted the contacts of all the work behind Dimuti, and if it could be replaced by other people in the company, it could only be replaced by those who could not be replaced, and it could only help coordinate the actors of other companies or push it away. There are losses, but Brother Long's New Year's card may be able to earn it back at once.
After Yang Xi dealt with this, he called Meng Ran to explain the situation, and asked when the filming here would be completed. Meng Ran said that there was still about a week, Yang Xi said that he would tell Di Muti to concentrate on filming in the Star Flag Country later, and hung up the phone. Yang Xi turned his head and called Brother Long and said that it had been arranged, Brother Long asked Yang Xi to send their documents or something, and he went to apply for a visa, and Yang Xi complied. Brother Long also sent the script to Yang Xi.
got out of the car, and it happened that the filming of this scene was also over. Meng Ran walked over and shook his head at Di Muti pretending to be regretful. Di Muti was a little disappointed, but in turn comforted Meng Ran. Seeing that she was a little sad and pretending to be fine, Meng Ran couldn't help but smile. He smiled, and Dimuti quickly reacted and asked, "You lied to me, right?" Did Brother Long make a decision? ”
Meng Ran smiled evilly and said, "Guess? ”
"What do I guess? Isn't it? Dimuti asked a little anxiously, she was in a very worried mood now.
Meng Ran stopped teasing her, nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, Brother Long has settled down." There is no work after the filming of this drama, and we are going to go to the Star Flag Country to shoot electricity..."
"Ah!! It's great!! ”
Dimuti screamed and jumped up and hugged Meng Ran. Meng Ran hugged her and reminded: "Everyone is watching around, are you going to hang on me forever?" ”
Di Muti didn't care so much, hugged Meng Ran and said, "I'm excited and don't make me happy!" ”
Meng Ran was particularly embarrassed to explain to the rest of the crew: "Women, there are always a few days of inexplicable excitement, don't mind." ”
Everyone smiled, pretending not to see, and was busy with their own work.
After a while, Dimuti calmed down, got off Meng Ran, went to the clothing team to change clothes, and went back to the hotel with Meng Ran to rest. On the way, Meng Ran introduced the situation to Di Muti, Di Muti was very happy, and Meng Ran took out his mobile phone and began to review English. Dimuti looked at the contents of Meng Ran's phone and said, "Oh, it seems that you also have something that you don't know?" ”
Meng Ran thought to himself that he was proficient in many Chinese in the dream, but he woke up with nothing left. I'm a top student in my own time and space and in this time and space.,I took the English test of 145 in the college entrance examination.,It's a very bad result.,It's just that I didn't have the opportunity to speak English later.,Somewhat forgot.。 Now it's a temporary cramming to learn, as the old saying goes, it's not fast to grind the gun!
Dogan suddenly appeared and said, "Tut-tut, do you need me to help you implant an English patch?" The kind that makes you proficient in English in minutes. ”
Meng Ran looked at the English on the phone and communicated with it with his consciousness: "Isn't that something that exploded from the fragments of a dream?" The dream is gone when I wake up, how can you still patch me? Are you going to turn me into an AI assistant? ”
Dogan said helplessly: "I'm a super AI assistant that surpasses the wisdom of this planet for 5,000 years, let alone install a patch package for you, and give you a big update." ”
"No, I can still use English, and it's no problem to review it a little. I'll get back to you when I need other patches. ”
"Okay, I flashed."
"Hello? I'm talking to you..."The dog left, Meng Ran heard Di Muti call her, turned his head and asked her, "What did you just say?" Dimuti glanced at him and said, "I say, it seems that you also have something that you can't do!" ”
Meng Ran explained: "I took the college entrance examination English 145, I haven't said it for a long time, and it's still okay to review and review. What about you? May I? ”
"Of course you can!" Dimuti held his head proudly. Meng Ran smiled and continued to review English.
Time flies quickly, and Dimuti's play is finally completed. Everyone had a finale banquet together and said goodbye to each other. After Meng Ran and Dimuti left, they flew back to Bincheng overnight with their suitcases.
I got off the plane and went home to sleep, got up early and drove to the company. In the past few days, Meng Ran and Di Muti have got the script, some places have to speak Chinese, and some places have to speak English. After a week of review and study, Meng Ran's English level has gradually improved, making it a bit of a brag for him to take the TOEFL IELTS test, and it is no problem for him to take the fourth or sixth level. He and Dimuti watch a movie without subtitles every day at night, and occasionally the two of them communicate in English, so it can be said that they have worked hard for this movie.
had a meeting with Yang Xi, Yang Xi talked about the filming with the two of them, and the two of them signed a shooting contract and a confidentiality agreement and went back first. Before going to the Star-Spangled Banner, in addition to memorizing lines and playing, the two of them went out shopping together. There were many paparazzi who took photos of the two of them shopping, and Meng Ran was also alert, but none of these paparazzi dared to post them. GS Entertainment si is so miserable, who dares to jump out and touch the mold!
The two of them packed up everything and went to the port area in advance to meet with Brother Long's team, and Brother Long personally took them to his own Longjia class to have a look. Brother Long also made a few moves with Meng Ran for a while, and after a few moves, both of them had an understanding of each other's skills. Here in Meng Ran, Brother Long has a solid foundation in martial arts. In Brother Long, Meng Ran has a wealth of practical experience. The two of them met late, and they discussed it from time to time while walking on the road. This made Dimuti very envious, because she couldn't interject at all.
After a day of rest in the port area, Meng Ran and Di Muti held hands unscrupulously, and could walk on the street without masks, sunglasses and hats. You can eat roadside stalls, you can go to the game hall to play, you can take a minibus. If the two of them wanted to, they could even kiss in the street, but the two of them weren't there yet.
Brother Long chartered a 747 special plane to fly to Luoshan Chicken City in the Star Flag Country with the actors and filming team, which was the first stop for filming. After a fifteen-hour flight, the plane landed at Luoshan Chicken International Airport. When he got off the plane and passed through customs, Brother Long told the customs officer that it was his film crew and actors. The customs officials took a moment and stamped and let go.
After checking in at the hotel, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening local time, and everyone had a meal together sleepily, packed up and hurried back to sleep.
At five o'clock the next morning, Meng Ran got up and went to the hotel's gym for a run. Brother Long has generously chartered the entire hotel, so everyone is very comfortable in the hotel.
At seven o'clock, Brother Long walked into the gym, and was very surprised to see Meng Ran who was making equipment, when everyone was sleeping with jet lag, Meng Ran could insist on fitness, and this self-discipline was very commendable. Brother Long came over and touched the muscles on Meng Ran's body, nodded and praised, "Wow! You're in really good shape, compared to when I was younger. ”
Meng Ran got down from the device, took a sip and asked Brother Long: "Brother Long, how much do you expect the box office of a movie with this theme?" ”
Brother Long said without thinking: "At least more than 300 million." What do you think of the script this time? ”
Meng Ran thought about the plot. A weapons designer in the Star Banner Country sat in a taxi with a box containing the latest weapon blueprints, and left the box in the car, and the whereabouts of the box were unknown. According to the intelligence, it may have fallen into the hands of the Falling Chicken Gangster BPY organization. FIB's most elite Chinese duo is tasked with investigating the matter. Brother Long is the detective of the double detective team, and Meng Ran is his agent. During the investigation, the box was obtained by a Chinese schoolgirl played by Di Muti, who mistakenly brought the box back to Huaxia. The agent approaches the schoolgirl and tries to retrieve the box, only to fall in love with her.
During the investigation, the detective found that this design was designed by a certain department in Huaxia and was stolen by intelligence officers to the Star Flag Country. In the end, the detective and the detective voluntarily terminated the mission and returned to the Star Flag Country to be punished. After a long, long time, the detective and the detective returned to Huaxia, and the detective and the female student got together. The detective found his home in Huaxia.
A homecoming theme, it's pretty good, but the plot is a little old-fashioned. Maybe it can't be filmed too sensitively for some reasons that can't be said, so it probably means that it's okay, the most important thing is that the Chinese New Year file can be accepted by audiences of all ages, and the ending has to be happy.
"The plot is a bit like the previous "Peaks", but this time it's two Chinese agents, and there is a reversal, I think it's good."
Brother Long nodded with satisfaction, not because he was willing to listen to compliments from others, but because he liked his works to be recognized. Brother Long rolled up his sleeves and compared the action of the movie with Meng Ran, and said to him: "You must have seen my movie, and you can't follow the requirements of actual combat." We need to make everyone happy with this kind of witty martial arts action and body language, after all, the atmosphere of our movie is relatively relaxed. The atmosphere of the "Dreadnought" movie directed by Lin Xian is relatively depressing, so your actual combat style is very suitable, and it also adds a lot of effects. So..."
Hearing Brother Long say this, Meng Ran knew what Brother Long meant, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely study carefully and follow the advice of you and the martial arts instructor, and play moves that meet your requirements." ”
Brother Long's heart is so happy! It's comfortable to talk to smart people, and half of them know what's going on. The key is that Meng Ran is not afraid of him, and communicates like a friend. is not like the newcomer in the previous movie, he didn't dare to speak when he saw him, like a stuffy gourd. As long as he is on the scene, the other party will not make movements, and often NG delays the shooting.
It was almost over, Meng Ran and Brother Long woke up the other actors to go to breakfast together. At the dinner table, Meng Ran looked at the empty restaurant and asked Brother Long, "Brother Long, what about the other staff?" Why didn't you see it? ”
Brother Long took a piece of chicken with chopsticks and said, "They all went to set up the scene, and some went to Dekesa Private Prefecture to arrange the exterior scene over there." It's okay, keep them busy, today is Friday, and next Monday we're officially on. Take a good rest these days, and it's not so difficult to rest after turning on the machine. ”
"Well, okay... By the way, Brother Long, isn't it too far from the beach court? ”
"What, you want to play basketball?" Brother Long looked at Meng Ran, who was a little excited, and asked. Meng Ran nodded, in the dream he followed 4AM here to play the North American Open, and also met his idols Kobe and Iverson on the beach court. He thought about the beach court in this time and space to take a turn and experience it.
Brother Long said okay, take them over later. It just so happened that he also wanted to go to the beach, because the second scene of the film was on the beach, and there happened to be a chase scene near the beach court, so he wanted to see if the crew had prepared in advance.
After eating, Meng Ran changed into a T-shirt and sports shorts, casually put on a pair of basketball shoes and took Di Mu to the downstairs lobby to wait for Brother Long. The pheasant in September is not so cold, and the average temperature is around 26 degrees. Brother Long followed a few crew members downstairs, and the group got into three business cars and left the hotel to go to the beach. Several other actors didn't follow, and continued to suffer from jet lag while lying in the room.
Looking at the streets and houses that had appeared in the dream, Meng Ran smiled unconsciously. Dimuti leaned on his shoulder and asked, "What are you laughing at?" Meng Ran didn't reply, just stroked her long hair. Di Muti was quiet like a kitten, guarding Meng Ran's side. The photographer sitting in the middle row looked back at the two of them, raised his camera to take a photo, and said to the two: "You two This photo is very beautiful, I took it, go back and print it out and send it to you." ”
