Chapter 432: Möbius Ring
(Please give me another 10 minutes!!! )
The filming of the crew of "Orphaned" continued that day until 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
This is not to take care of a few tourists from afar, but because the crew does not have a night scene here, and the transition is impossible, so they can only shoot during the day every day.
Because of this, Xu Zhen's filming life in the past two months has been very relaxed, and he has been jokingly calling it a "health trip" at night, watching movies, and enjoying the beautiful rivers and mountains.
That night, Xu Zhen and others specially invited the group of the preparatory team of "I Want to See You" to the county seat for dinner, and fulfilled the friendship of the landlord.
Xu Zhen's own team was naturally present; On Huaying's side, Peng Siyuan also followed, it is said that Huang Tianci, the director of "I Want to See You", once directed a TV series of Huaying, so the two sides have always maintained a friendly relationship.
Although Chen Zhenghao was not interested in this kind of occasion, he wanted to check the drama for Xu Zhen, so he also followed.
When he came out to eat, he naturally couldn't see people with the dignity in the play, Zeng Shuai, the "motorcycle repairman" in the play, and Lei Zekuan, the "migrant worker looking for his son", both changed their old-fashioned looks in the play and restored their usual clothes.
Xu Zhen is okay, probably just went to the rustic atmosphere on his body;
And Chen Zhenghao has changed a lot: he changed out of the woolen suit in the play, and changed into a normal T-shirt and slacks; I also washed off the special effects makeup that I deliberately put on my face, and I did a simple hairstyle.
Xu Zhen saw that he removed a thick layer of wax when he removed his makeup, and subconsciously remembered a line in "Outwitting Tiger Mountain": cold-proof wax.
Suddenly I couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
These people came to a hotel in the county town from the set in two cars, and after entering the private room, screenwriter Gao Qifeng immediately showed a look of surprise when he saw Chen Zhenghao, and said in surprise: "Ah, Mr. Chen! ”
"Hello, hello, long admiration of the daimyo, first meeting!"
He stepped forward to shake hands with Chen Zhenghao with a happy face, and said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Chen, do you happen to work here?" ”
When Chen Zhenghao heard this, he glanced at him in a little surprise and said, "I'm filming "Lost Orphans". ”
Gao Qifeng was stunned for a moment and said, "Really? I didn't see you during the day today, is it a few days before you have your role? ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhen, who was greeting people, turned his head to look over in shock, and the director Huang Tianci on the side stiffened, and anger surged in his eyes.
Chen Zhenghao looked at Gao Qifeng calmly, and after a while, he said, "I play Lei Zekuan." ”
He quietly looked at the other party's glasses at the bottom of the milk bottle, and said, "You are a little myopia." ”
Gao Qifeng: "......"
The air around him seemed to suddenly freeze at this moment.
The originally lively chatter also came to an abrupt end at this moment.
……
It wasn't until a few minutes later that the awkward atmosphere in the private room finally returned to normal.
On the side of the crew of "I Want to See You", everyone almost gambled on what they had learned all their lives, desperately praising Chen Zhenghao for portraying the role as if they were two people, and trying to "blame" their own simple face blindness on each other's acting skills.
Of course, Chen Zhenghao and others did not hold on to this topic, and the two sides talked about ideals, planning, investment, and cooperation, and the atmosphere in the private room gradually warmed up.
Xu Zhen, the nominal vice president of Langya Pavilion Film and Television Co., Ltd., didn't care about these nonsense, he directly asked for the electronic version of the script of "I Want to See You", and read it on a tablet computer at the dinner table.
Because of Qiao Feng's vigorous praise and strange description, Xu Zhen was very curious about the specific content of this story.
However, after opening the script and watching the subplots of the first episode, he felt both confused and a little disappointed.
The beginning of "I Want to See You" is a very traditional idol drama story: the heroine Huang Yuxuan is a 27-year-old white-collar woman who died in a plane crash two years ago.
- Yes, the male protagonist was a dead man when he first appeared.
And the heroine Huang Yuxuan has never been able to accept this fact, and the plot of the whole episode is all about her recalling the bits and pieces of her past with her boyfriend, and all kinds of touches and feelings.
Just when Xu Zhen's patience was about to be exhausted by this beginning, the style of the story suddenly changed drastically:
The heroine stumbles upon a 20-year-old photo of a teenage boy and girl who look exactly like her and her boyfriend.
She looked at this photo and felt a little creepy, and hurriedly found the relatives of the girl in the photo through various means, but she learned:
The girl was killed shortly after the photo was taken, and the killer has not been found.
And immediately after, the heroine's soul traveled to the body of this girl 20 years ago.
- Death is coming.
All of a sudden, the story became weird.
When Xu Zhen saw this, he understood what Qiao Feng meant by the series of descriptions he said before.
This is really a youth suspense and campus crime travel drama!
He hurriedly flipped through the plot of the first episode and continued to read on.
After the heroine was pierced, she met the boy who looked exactly like her boyfriend: Li Ziwei.
The two sides gradually developed a good impression in the continuous contact, and the heroine confessed to Li Ziwei that she was from the future, and this body would die soon, and the two sides worked hard to find out who the murderer who killed her was.
Seeing this, Xu Zhen couldn't help but nodded.
This plot is really well written, the love story between the two sides is very delicate, textured, tightly paced, and logically interlocking.
But if it stops there, to be honest, it is a bit unworthy of such praise from Qiao Feng.
As soon as Xu Zhen's idea was born, the plot suddenly changed again:
- The male protagonist has crossed.
Yes, double wear!
The girl 20 years ago finally died irretrievably, and Li Ziwei accidentally traveled to the future after experiencing the death of the heroine.
He struggled to find the real heroine of this era, pursued her, and became her boyfriend......
Yes, that's right: the boyfriend who died in a plane crash at the beginning of the story and made the heroine unable to let go of his feelings is actually not a person from that era, but the soul of this Li Ziwei!
When Xu Zhen saw this, he only felt a "buzz" in his head, and suddenly it was chaotic.
He hurriedly took out his notebook from his pocket and took notes on the paper.
Starting from the starting point of the heroine, she fell in love in college, and her boyfriend died a few years later, and she traveled back to 20 years ago because of her longing for her boyfriend, and finally ended in death;
Starting from the starting point of the male protagonist, he fell in love with a girl who claimed to be a "time-traveler" in high school, and the girl was killed a few months later, and he traveled to the future because of his longing for the girl, found her body, and fell in love with her, which also ended in death......
The love between this man and woman is actually cause and effect of each other, and the crossing of the two sides forms a "Möbius ring".
What's even more terrifying is that the person who is suspected of being the murderer is also crossing......
Triple traversal, the timeline is intricate, but it is interlocking.
Xu Zhen didn't know if it was because he didn't read much or for whatever reason, he felt that this story had completely subverted his past perception of "crossing".
It's really like what Brother Qiao said, my scalp is numb for a while!
Xu Zhen read the book relatively quickly, and roughly went through the script of 13 episodes in less than half an hour.
At this time, he turned his head to look at Chen Zhenghao on the side, and saw that the other party was still looking at the screen of the tablet intently, and asked, "Brother Hao, where did you see it?" ”
Chen Zhenghao's eyes did not leave the script, and he said in a low voice: "I saw that Li Ziwei had crossed over and was pursuing the heroine of the college days." ”
Xu Zhen said: "Ah, it's not important here, in fact, you can jump a little, you start from page 189, Li Ziwei is at the airport ......"
"Stop!"
Chen Zhenghao immediately interrupted Xu Zhen and said, "You don't want spoilers. ”
Xu Zhen: "......"
Well, Brother Hao seems to be addicted to it.
He smiled awkwardly and continued to put together a timeline of the story.
It wasn't until another 20 minutes passed that Chen Zhenghao raised his head, gently rubbed his somewhat dry eyes, and nodded: "It's indeed a very surprising book." ”
"If it's done well, it should be promising."
Xu Zhen asked, "Brother Hao, do you think the role of Li Ziwei is suitable for me?" ”
Chen Zhenghao thought for a moment and said, "It's not a question of suitability. ”
"It's very difficult to perform this role, not only does one person play two roles, but the timeline is also out of order, and you have to find an actor of your strength to play it well."
As he spoke, Chen Zhenghao raised his head, looked at the director Huang Tianci on the side, and asked, "Director Huang, let me ask a question." ”
"Is the heroine of "I Want to See You" decided?"
When Huang Tianci heard this question, a slightly meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "It's been finalized." Admiralty looked behind, He Jiayan. ”
Chen Zhenghao looked at him with a serious face and said, "Has the other party's contract been signed?" ”
Huang Tianci's face froze, and he sneered: "Not yet, but the intention has been very clear, and this drama will start filming at the end of the year." ”
Chen Zhenghao turned his head to look at Xu Zhen and said, "If it is confirmed that it is He Jiayan, there is no problem with this drama, you can take it; But if you change someone else halfway, there is no need to pick it up. ”
"In this way, if you want to sign a contract with them, you can write the relevant terms into it, and if you change people, it will be considered a breach of contract, and you can leave the group at any time." As he spoke, he seriously instructed Xu Zhen on a lot of specific operation methods.
Huang Tianci listened beside him, and the smile on his face gradually cooled.
Ah, how do you know how I planned?
It's so hard to deal with old fritters!
……
The meal between the two sides was quite harmonious and friendly, and Xu Zhen and Qiao Feng also praised the script they had just seen and expressed great interest in the project.
After discussing with the company, we will give an accurate answer to the other party within two weeks.
"I Want to See You" is expected to start around the end of this year, so there is plenty of time for this reply.
After negotiating the matter, these people did not continue to get in the way in the small mountain village where "Lost Orphans" was filmed, but were arranged by Qiao Feng and representatives of Huaying to travel nearby.
Xu Zhen's big scene in "Lost Orphans" has been filmed so far, and only some scattered shots are left, which can be completed in about two weeks.
And at the end of October, when the crew was about to finish, he received another piece of good news:
The crew of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" gave him a clear answer, confirming that they hoped that Xu Zhen would play the role of Yang Zirong.
Although the other party had already expressed his inclination towards Xu Zhen after the audition, Xu Zhen still felt very happy when he received the news at this time.
After all, that's Yang Zirong!
The hero who fought the tiger up the mountain and wiped out the bandits in Weihu Mountain, Yang Zirong!
Not to mention, this is still a big production directed by Xu Wenguang with an investment of more than 100 million, and the significance of being able to serve as the male lead in such a movie is naturally self-evident to Xu Zhen.
But just as he was extremely happy, he suddenly felt a little helpless about his plan for the next period of time.
In the past year, Xu Zhen's workload can be said to be extremely full: at the beginning of the year, he filmed the action movie "Embroidered Spring Knife", and then starred in the star-studded movie "October Siege", and then was arrested by director Liu Yongqing, rescued the scene and starred in the spy war drama "Kite", and filmed "Orphaned" in the second half of the year......
It can really be said to be a model worker in the industry.
Xu Zhen had told Qiao Feng since this spring that he hoped to reduce the intensity of his work a little and take a breath, and Qiao Feng agreed.
But after saying this, it was equivalent to not saying it, and his work intensity at this time did not decrease at all, but intensified.
Now it's even more, the drama appointments have been scheduled for next year......
Xu Zhen now recalls that the most relaxing period of his time was actually the days when he repaired motorcycles on Qingyuan Mountain.
However, now that "Orphaned" is about to finish filming, I can no longer use the excuse of experiencing life to repair motorcycles for my neighbors, and I am still a little sad to think about it.
