Chapter 50: The Tool Man
"So the company wants to ask you, is it possible to write some simple songs, such as folk songs, for this reason, the company helped you contact Gao Xiaosong, this album is for him to be your producer, if you can't write the right song, you can also let Gao Xiaosong write, but you also know, in this way, the nature has changed a lot."
Hearing Gao Xiaosong's name, Gu Bei was really surprised, Gao Xiaosong can be said to be a pivotal figure in the mainland music circle, and it is really interesting that the company can invite him.
"How?" Shi Rong asked.
"Besides, I'll see if I can write it myself."
Shi Rong smiled with satisfaction, took out a few documents from the desk again, and handed them to Gu Bei: "This is the crew looking for you to film, it's only early August, and there is still a period of time before school starts, the time is tight, you should still be able to shoot a few dramas, I helped you transfer a few suitable ones, the top ones, if they are suitable, they will all follow." ”
Gu Bei didn't reply in a hurry, and looked at them one by one, the top is the new drama "Weilong of the Western Regions" by kung fu superstar Cheng Long, a movie that Cheng Long used to open up the Hollywood market, and its popularity in the mainland is very low.
The second thing that also surprised Gu Bei was Feng Xiaotank's New Year's blockbuster "Endless" this year, in recent years, Feng's comedy can be called the leader, but Gu Bei doesn't have to think about it to know that the role he got must be a supporting role.
It's not that the supporting roles are bad, but I want to think about the big male protagonists in the dramas of "Weilong in the Western Regions" and "Endless", the supporting roles are pitiful, and the characters of such supporting roles can rarely be perfected by the screenwriter, so there is nothing challenging, it can be said that special actors with a little skill can play.
Gu Bei felt that he didn't need to waste time on this kind of role, and his wings could only be cherished by himself.
In the third part, Gu Bei has never heard of it at all, and there is no trace of it from the memory of the HC old demon, the above indirect is a normal student who is about to graduate from his senior year, and was assigned to a deaf school for internship, helping several deaf people find their dreams, and he also regained his confidence during this time, the film is called "Silent River".
Shi Rong took advantage of Gu Bei's efforts to look through and introduced: "Cheng Long's film is filmed for Europeans and Americans, and it will also be filmed in the United States, you don't have many roles, but this is an opportunity to show your face in Hollywood, the fire of "My Father and Mother" you filmed before has not gone down, and you participated in Cheng Long's movie just to strike while the iron is hot, don't feel awkward." ”
"Feng Xiaowan's "Endless" is still Ge Wei as the male lead, and the idea of our company and Huayi Brothers is that you can make a cameo in friendship, and it will only be a matter of a few minutes, just show your face in the Chinese New Year."
Shi Rong briefly talked about the pros and cons of it to Gu Bei, and then said: ""Silent River" is a public welfare film, led by the Film Channel, the Disabled Persons' Federation, and the Huaguo Children's Care Association. If you can't return one, you should be able to nominate it, and besides, this is a public welfare movie, the theme is a gift to all deaf people, and when it is broadcast, it will be of great benefit to your word-of-mouth. ”
In addition to these three, the rest are some film and television works that can be directly ignored, after thinking about it, Gu Bei gave his own reply: "Brother Rong, guest appearance in "Endless" and starring in "Silent River", I think I can take it, but Brother Cheng Long's "Weilong of the Western Regions" is going to be filmed in the United States, I don't think there is any need to make a big move, after all, it is just a cooperation with few roles." ”
"Are you not happy to travel to the United States at public expense?" Shi Rong joked to Gu Bei, "This is an opportunity to go to Hollywood." ”
"What kind of opportunity is this, besides, I haven't stood firm in China, and I still go to Hollywood to fight the Northwest Wind."
"You can still see it clearly, and I really think about it, but the purpose of the company to let you participate in Cheng Long's movie is not to give you the opportunity to open Hollywood, but to use you to let our company and Xiangjiang go online, especially on Cheng Long's side, you may not know, Huayi Brothers has a very ambiguous relationship with Zhou Xingchi recently, and it is estimated that there will be new moves soon, and our company can't lag too far behind, so I want to take Cheng Long's line."
If only it was so easy to catch up, Gu Bei slandered in his heart, and also got a signal from Shi Rong's words, although there is cooperation between Beiping's film and television companies, the relationship is not as good as imagined, but Gu Bei wants to become a tool man, and Cheng Long seems to be unable to accept this play.
"What about time? Can the time be adjusted? "Gu Bei is most concerned about whether filming will affect his schooling, don't miss too many classes and be repetitive by the college.
"Feng Xiaotank's "Endless" may not start filming until after you start school, around October, but it doesn't have much impact, I will help you coordinate at that time, you can just take a weekend to go on a trip, it's just a matter of a few hours, the specific shooting time of "Silent River" has not yet been determined, there are many things that those people above are considering, it is unlikely that filming will start in a short time, it may be the second half of the year, or it may be next year, look at the above arrangement."
may start filming in the second half of the year, which made Gu Bei have an eye on it, although it is a public welfare film, the college will not pursue it too much, but Gu Bei is not good at helping his studies and let it go.
"Don't worry, it won't delay your study, I specially mentioned this to them, and it also said that the filming time should be as much as possible on the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, at that time you should have nearly twenty days of vacation, and this movie can't be filmed for too long."
"What about the one that uses me as a tool?"
"What?"
"The Dragons of the Western Regions."
"This is just a matter of the past few days, I have already arranged the itinerary for you, in addition to Su Yiyi, I also arranged two people for you, after all, you can't reach the whip abroad, you pay attention to yourself, in addition, I can help you apply for a fund, travel in the United States for a few days, the requirement is, during this time, you have to write the song well."
Tourism? Gu Bei really didn't have much interest, but Gu Bei was still very interested in going abroad for the first time, when Zhang Yimou took "My Father and Mother" around to participate in international film festivals, Gu Bei couldn't make it, this time he has time, it doesn't matter if he is not a tool person.
"By the way, how is your English?"
"Uh...... It's okay, after all, it's just been a few years since the college entrance examination ended, and I have professional English in my film and television screenwriting course, so daily communication should be fine. ”
"Then I won't find you a translator, now these people who have drunk foreign ink are dragging it like 2580,000, and the asking price is outrageous." Shi Rong seemed to have been disgusted by a certain translator, and his tone was very unhappy, "It just so happens that you are over there to help Su Yiyi and them, they haven't learned a foreign language, contact, communication or something, it is estimated that it depends on you." ”
"That...... Arrange for me a translator. After saying this, Gu Bei couldn't help blushing, and just now he swore that he was okay, and turned around and asked for a translator.
After this incident, Gu Bei also has a plan to learn a foreign language, and maybe he will participate in the international film festival one day, so it is a thought to take precautions.
Before, Gu Bei Danfan had a dream of going international, and he would not be a salted fish who didn't know foreign languages very well.
