Chapter 87: Persuading Wang Zuxian to make a comeback
It takes time to read the script, and it takes even more time to study the script.
Regarding the matter of inviting Xing Ye to play the leading role in (Glory at Sea), Shen Mengfei was not in a hurry, and waited for Xing Ye to finish studying the script.
Xing Ye invited Shen Mengfei to live in his villa and study the script with him.
Shen Mengfei didn't shirk much, and agreed easily.
In the next day, the two read the script repeatedly, and both had a deep understanding of the script, and they also had specific ideas for filming in their minds.
After understanding what kind of character Jiang Shicheng is, Xing Ye feels that there are indeed few people who are more suitable for this role than himself, coupled with Shen Mengfei's encouragement, in the end, Xing Ye couldn't stand Shen Mengfei's recommendation and love for Jiang Shicheng's character, and agreed to play the role of Jiang Shicheng, the hero of Glory at Sea.
After finalizing the actor, the second male Steve naturally has no suspense, after all, few people are better at acting than Xiao Lizi, and Xiao Lizi has said before that as long as Xing Ye plays the leading role, he is willing to play a supporting role with zero pay.
There is a zero-pay actor, and the box office with super high acting skills guarantees that the actor does not use it, isn't that a fool's behavior?
The male No. 3 blues is played by Shen Mengfei, and there is no problem with this, after all, Shen Mengfei is also a person with acting skills.
Then, Xing Ye and Shen Mengfei began to determine each of the remaining actors one by one.
When many actors received the invitation, they didn't even look at the script and didn't talk about the salary, so they agreed to act, because they heard that the male number one was a star.
It's an actor who is looking forward to making a movie with Xing Ye, after all, the basketball saboteur who has just been removed from the cinema has a global box office of 2.5 billion yuan, who doesn't want to have a high-box office masterpiece, even if it's just a trick in the movie.
But so what? As long as you star and have a shot in the movie, you can say that you are participating, and no one can refute it.
Fairy sister Liu Yifei also easily agreed to play the role of Jiang Tingting (Glory at Sea), and now the important role is only the heroine Shen Xiangying has not yet been determined.
Wang Zuxian couldn't be reached by phone, she probably changed her number.
Xing Ye and Shen Mengfei decided to go to Canada to find Wang Zuxian, and Xing Ye knew Wang Zuxian's address in Canada.
After going to Canada, you can go directly to the United States to find Xiao Lizi, and then the movie can start filming.
After Xing Ye explained the work of HK clearly, he flew to Vancouver, Canada with Shen Mengfei.
Yes, Wang Zuxian has been settling in Vancouver since she stopped filming.
The reason why Xing Ye knew Wang Zuxian's address was because when Wang Zuxian was 50 years old, he invited Xing Ye to her birthday party, and Xing Ye happened to be free at that time, and Xing Ye and Wang Zuxian had a good relationship, so he went to the banquet.
It is precisely because of this that Xing Ye will be sure to invite Wang Zuxian to come back to the film industry.
On the way to Vancouver, Xing Ye and Shen Mengfei opened their hearts to each other and talked about many things, and gradually, they became real New Year's friends.
Shen Mengfei never imagined that his idol from childhood to the present would become his year-old friend.
It's all so dreamy, so unreal. The old man in front of him who was talking to him was a famous star, and Shen Mengfei couldn't even think about it.
The plane soon arrived in Vancouver, and Shen Mengfei and Xing Ye took a taxi to Wang Zuxian's address.
Wang Zuxian lives in the suburbs far away from the city, where there is no hustle and bustle of the city, no busy office workers, just a vibrant greenery and quiet fireworks.
Xing Ye took Shen Mengfei and approached Wang Zuxian's manor.
As he got closer, Shen Mengfei saw a lady wearing a floral skirt and a yellow hat watering flowers in front of the flower bed in front of the manor with a watering can.
This kind of life is very comfortable, which is exactly what Shen Mengfei dreamed of.
has not seen the true face of the watering man Lushan, Shen Mengfei can't confirm whether this lady is Wang Zuxian, after all, Shen Mengfei has not seen Wang Zuxian herself, but has only seen Wang in the movie
Zu Xian's image is just that.
Shen Mengfei couldn't recognize it, but Xing Ye could.
Xing Ye recognized at a glance that the lady watering the flowers was Wang Zuxian who they were looking for on this trip.
"Zu Xian, long time no see." Xing Ye walked to the door of the manor, looked at Wang Zuxian, who was seriously watering the flowers, and said.
Hearing someone shouting her name, Wang Zuxian raised her head and followed the voice. She saw Xing Ye and Shen Mengfei standing at the gate of her manor.
"Master Xing, why are you here?" Wang Zuxian, who was wearing glasses, recognized Xing Ye at a glance and said.
Wang Zuxian put down the watering can and walked towards Xing Ye and Shen Mengfei.
Looking at Wang Zuxian's elegant temperament that is not affected by the years at all, as well as the beautiful face that was treated gently by the years, Shen Mengfei and Xing Ye both felt that Wang Zuxian was too in line with the setting of the role of Shen Xiangying in Glory at Sea.
"Zu Xian, I haven't seen you for so long, and you're still so beautiful." Xing Ye said with a smile.
"When you're old, how can you talk about being beautiful." When the old people met, Wang Zuxian was very happy and said with a smile.
"Let me introduce you, this one next to me is Shen Mengfei, you can call him Xiao Shen." Xing Ye said.
"I know Xiao Shen, his performance in Basketball Breaker is so good, it's too impressive."
"Xiao Shen, you are now popular all over Canada, and many beauties in Canada are your fans." Wang Zuxian said with a smile.
"No, no, I'm just a newcomer to the film industry, and I can't talk about it." Shen Mengfei said modestly.
"Look at me, I'm so happy to see my old friend that I almost forgot to invite you into the house, come, let's go into the house and talk again, standing at the door looks like I, the landlord, is too rude."
After speaking, Wang Zuxian took Xing Ye and Shen Mengfei into his villa.
Wang Zuxian made a pot of tea.
Wang Zuxian, Xing Ye and Shen Mengfei sat in front of the coffee table.
"Zu Xian, Xiao Shen and I are here this time, mainly to ask you for a favor." Xing Ye said.
"Oh, what's the busy? Master Xing, you say. As long as I can help, I will." Wang Zuxian said.
"Xiao Shen." Xing Ye looked at Shen Mengfei.
Shen Mengfei understood what Xing Ye meant.
took out the script of Glory of the Sea from the briefcase and handed it to Wang Zuxian.
Although Wang Zuxian didn't understand what was going on, she still took the script handed by Shen Mengfei.
"Sister Xian, take a look at this script." Xing Ye said.
After Wang Zuxian listened to it, she honestly read the script according to Xing Ye's meaning.
After Wang Zuxian read the script, she felt that this script was very well written, and it would definitely be popular when it was filmed, and it was also a super hot kind, but Wang Zuxian still didn't understand the intentions of Shen Mengfei and Xing Ye.
"I probably read the script, and it's very well written. Master Xing, you came to me for help, what do you want me to help you?" Wang Zuxian asked.
"That's right, now Xiao Shen and I have decided to work together to make this script, but now we have encountered a problem, we haven't found a suitable actress."
"I thought about it and felt that only you were the most suitable for the role of the heroine Shen Xiangying, so we came here to ask you to come back to the film industry and play the role of Shen Xiangying." Xing Ye said.
"I'm the heroine? Master Xing, you know, I'm no longer filming, I don't plan to touch anything related to film and television anymore, you know this." Wang Zuxian said.
"I know this, before I came, I was also very struggling with whether to disturb you, I really couldn't find a suitable person, so I had to come and disturb you."
"In addition, you also know that I have also been out of film for a long time, but this time this script gave me the urge to act again, and I will play the leading role in this movie."
"When filming Tang Bohu, you didn't have time at the time, and the movie was in a hurry, so we missed the opportunity to cooperate, which I regret and believe you will have regrets."
"Now that I've finally come across a good script, I hope you can play the heroine and work with me to make up for that time
It's a pity."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, for the box office of this movie, Xiao Shen and I aim to make this movie hit the global box office champion."
"So in terms of casting, we don't choose expensive ones, only the most suitable ones."
"Zu Xian, if you can, make a comeback to help Chinese films break out of the country and appear on the stage of the world film industry." Xing Ye persuaded.
"This..."
"It's not that I don't give you face, it's just that I decided not to make a movie a long time ago, and if it were something else, I might be able to help, but I'm really embarrassed to come back." Wang Zuxian said with an embarrassed face.
"Sister Xian, you just read the script, in fact, the heroine Shen Xiangying has very few scenes, and the main scenes are basically focused on the male protagonist and supporting actors."
"It's pretty much the same if you take a few shots, and if you don't want to go to HK, we can ask the camera crew to come here and shoot your part, what do you think?" Shen Mengfei said.
Regarding Wang Zuxian's private affairs, Shen Mengfei also learned a lot from Xing Ye. Shen Mengfei knew that Wang Zuxian was a little reluctant to go to HK.
Wang Zuxian read the script and found that there are indeed very few heroines in the script, but the heroine is an indispensable and important role, because Wang Zuxian found that the drama Glory of the Sea can actually be regarded as a love drama in a sense.
Shen Mengfei's words dispelled some of Wang Zuxian's concerns, she really didn't want to go to HK, she left a lot of sad memories in that place.
In addition, hearing that Xing Ye played the leading role, Wang Zuxian really wanted to make up for the regret of not cooperating with Xing Ye when filming Tang Bohu.
"There are some demons to be overcome, we can't let them stay in our hearts like this, we have to destroy them."
"Time has passed, some people come in the crowd, some people walk in the crowd, divide and merge, fate is always so helpless, we can't keep holding on to one thing."
"Zu Xian, that thing is not worth your dodge."
"Huaxia is your home, Vancouver City is good, but compared to home, it is still incomparable. Zu Xian, you can take this opportunity to return to the embrace of the motherland."
"I have several villas in Hong Kong that no one lives in, if you return to China, you can choose one, the environment is very good, not worse than this." Xing Ye said.
Xing Ye's words made Wang Zuxian fall into deep thought.
After so many years, she thought that she had completely let go, but at this moment, she clearly realized that she was not relieved, otherwise how could she have been hiding in Vancouver?
No matter how good it is outside, it can't be better than home.
Wang Zuxian felt that it was indeed time to face the demons. It wasn't her fault, but she was the one who had been dodging, and she felt it wasn't fair.
"Master Xing, you're right, it's time for me to face my demons, I'm going to go back with you. The heroine of the drama Glory at Sea, I will play it."
Wang Zuxian has already made a decision.
