Chapter 2: Dig Your Own Hole, Fill It Yourself!
Because Lao Wang didn't take a higher vocational class, he directly called a student to take him over.
Zhang Muding looked at it, yo? Another acquaintance.
(⊙o⊙)… No, it should be an acquaintance in a dream.
You must know that Cao An studied in the directing department at the beginning, so he naturally had to hand in his homework.
At this time, acting students are naturally in demand, because they are not only cheap but also live well.
And Zhu Yawen is the best in the 02-level performance department, and Cao An partnered with him a lot.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mu suddenly looked at Zhu Yawen with kind eyes and said:
"Classmate, do you want to make a movie? One man and two women! ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Really? That...... Thank you, Director Zhang! ”
Although Zhu Yawen has acted in a few plays with his business level, they are all TV series, and most of them are small supporting roles.
Now that he has the opportunity to act in a movie, Zhu naturally has to hurry up and grasp it, so he agreed without even reading the script.
So the two of them, who were going both ways, immediately looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction.
However, on the way to find someone, Zhang Mu still gave a general explanation of the script, and after listening to it, Zhu let go of his last worries.
……
Outside the Beiying 03 Higher Vocational Class A, Zhang Jiani, who was just seventeen years old, was listening to the teacher's lecture with a serious face.
Zhang Jiani was born in an ordinary family in Sichuan and Shu, learned to dance at the age of seven, and went to Beijing alone at the age of nine to receive professional training.
So don't look at her graceful and weak appearance, but in fact, she has a tough personality and a precocious mind.
However, although she was born in the same year as Liu Tianxian, Liu Tianxian, who is younger than her, has now become her senior sister.
I have to say that the same people don't have the same fate!
Just when Zhang Jiani was listening carefully to the class, she suddenly saw the teacher who was lecturing above and the people outside the classroom talking a few words, and then looked back at her and said:
"Zhang Jiani, come out!"
Suddenly, the higher vocational class couldn't help but be a little restless.
After all, they have seen too many such scenes, but most of them happen in the undergraduate class every time, and they have never had anything to do with them.
Zhang Jiani didn't think much about it, and hurriedly suppressed the excitement in her heart and ran out.
Looking at Zhang Jiani, who was standing still obediently, Gan Hong, the teacher of the higher vocational class, immediately looked at Zhang Mu and said, "Director Zhang, what do you think?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jiani's heartbeat suddenly couldn't help but be a little faster.
So he hurriedly brushed the hair on his ears again, and looked at Zhang Mu, who was speechless, with a slightly red face, and did not dare to act rashly.
Looking at the young and immature little girl in front of him, Zhang Mu estimated it in his heart, and then nodded slowly.
Although Zhang Jiani is still just a newcomer, the "phoenix eyes" of the logo and the skin that is blown up have not changed at all.
As for acting? Not at all!
Hehe! Zhang Mu will inspire their most authentic reactions!
Under the witness of the teacher of the higher vocational class, Zhang Mu soon signed a contract with Zhang Jiani and Zhu Yawen in the café outside the school.
Because both are newcomers, the price is very cheap.
Zhang Jiani 20,000, Zhu Yawen 8,000. Zhang Mu did not deliberately lower the price, and gave it directly according to the market.
In terms of students taking over the play, Beiying is still better than the Chinese opera.
After all, before the nursery rhyme incident was exposed, who knows how many students Director Huang of the Chinese opera dived with this.
When Zhang Jiani returned to the classroom with the contract, the surrounding classmates suddenly couldn't help but surround her.
However, this little girl was very steady, and she didn't show off, and after rejecting a few Bichi who tried to read the script, she decisively skipped class and went back to prepare.
……
As a director with professional ethics, Zhang Mu naturally has to meet the requirements of the owner's father.
So he did not hesitate to leave the position of the heroine, that is, the position of the pen fairy, to Lin Hong, the godsister of the gold master's father.
You must know that the name of the movie is "Pen Fairy", so what other role can be more important than it?
Zhang Jiani's age is just right to play a high school girl, and from this point of view, she is completely in her true colors.
Her role is one of the two heroines.
But in addition, there is a high school female teacher and a pen fairy and her mother, two big matches.
Although these two roles are not as heavy as the protagonists, they are not something that the group performances in the film and television city can afford.
Zhang Mu thought about it, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
If he remembers correctly, Yan Danchen is now at a low point in his career because he offended a director in the Beijing circle.
If nothing else, she will probably be idle for two full years, and it will not be until 04 years before she will get out of this predicament with the help of Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mudang smiled.
There is a sentence that Zhang Mu has always agreed, no matter what the Beijing circle and the Shanghai circle are, in the end, they can only become wreaths in front of capital.
He doesn't have the same strong heart as Director Feng, who loves to do this thing of licking dogs, anyway, he is not happy to lick the Beijing circle.
Thinking like this, Zhang Mu recalled it, and soon dialed Yan Danchen's phone.
When the phone was connected, Zhang Mu became more and more sure that the memory in his mind was not ethereal.
"Miss Yan?"
"Right...... Well, it's the movie...... You can come over now if it's convenient for you! ”
"Good...... I'm waiting for you at the café opposite the North Shadow! ”
After hanging up the phone, thinking about the excited voice on the other side of the phone, Zhang Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With Yan Danchen here, there is finally a candidate for a female art teacher.
Bixian's mother can also let her play it together, which is not a problem for her.
Of course, the most important thing is ...... She's so cheap.
Although there may be more people in the capital than her now, who makes Zhang Mu have a limited budget at the moment.
With his current budget, Yan Danchen is already the most suitable choice he can find, and Yan Danchen is not just for that reward.
After all, with the first time, there can be a second time, and once the deadlock is broken, her environment will be much better.
With such an idea, Yan Danchen soon rushed to the café. After a few minutes of conversation, she signed the contract.
Looking at the script in his hand, Yan Danchen's eyes were a little complicated.
She belongs to the kind of classical beauty with a unique temperament, and even in the northern shadow of the per capita beauty, she is very recognizable.
But beauty is always a double-edged sword.
Last year, when she participated in a film audition for a director surnamed Huang in the Beijing circle, she was taken a fancy to.
However, the unspoken rule is a kind of transaction between the two sides, and there is rarely force, so Yan Danchen refused.
Although she wants to be popular, she hasn't been ruthless to herself to that extent.
But I didn't expect that Director Huang seemed to have taken a fancy to her, so he didn't hesitate to use some off-the-counter tricks for this.
Although this is quite criticized, that person has a lot of connections, so Yan Danchen has been completely unemployed for most of the year.
Director Zhang...... Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity, thank you! ”
Seeing such a big beauty sincerely thank herself, Zhang Mu was naturally in a good mood.
"Miss Yan, you're polite!"
After smiling and greeting Yan Danchen for a few words, Zhang Mu took his leave.
After all, he has a lot of things to do right now, and it's not time for him to flirt with his sister.
March 20, after all the problems were resolved.
Zhang Mu, the grass platform team that was put together from side to bottom, finally got on the bus and rushed towards Hengdian.
……
After a long journey, the crew finally came to Hengdian.
Because there were enough bumps along the way, Zhang Mu simply gave the crew a day off to recover his state.
However, after arranging the accommodation of the crew, Zhang Mu didn't care about resting, so he took a taxi directly to the outside of the film and television city.
As the sunset gradually set, when he saw the familiar two-story building next to the old street again, Zhang Mu couldn't help but feel like a world away.
But before he could sigh, a familiar slap woke him up.
"Hiss~"
Zhang Mu rubbed the back of his head with grinned teeth, and complained helplessly:
"Mom, can't you be light!"
However, his posture was obviously useless.
I saw an aunt with a big waist and a round waist glaring at him unmoved and said:
"Humph! Do you still know to come back? ”
As he spoke, he put down the laundry tub and prepared to pull out the mallet for him to loosen his bones.
Seeing this, Zhang Mu's face suddenly turned pale, and he retreated again and again:
"Mom, calm down."
"Humph! I'll let you run away from home! ”
"Mom, listen to me...... Yes...... Listen to me first. ”
"Calm down! I'll let you play missing silently! ”
"Hiss~...... Mom, it's illegal to commit murder...... Yes...... Dad, help! ”
As night fell, the familiar screams suddenly came from the small building that was deserted again.
Half an hour later, I saw Zhang Mu sitting at the dinner table with a flattering face, and kept putting vegetables in his mother's bowl. Looking like that, it is obvious that he has escaped again.
Seeing his wife being fooled by his son again, Zhang Jianjun, who was on the other side of the dinner table, suddenly shook his head helplessly.
However, seeing that the old lady finally got her way, Zhang Mu, who was lucky enough to escape, breathed a sigh of relief.
No way, their family has always been a strict mother and loving father. Only by getting the old lady can he fool his calculations this time.
After the meal, when the old lady went to wash the dishes, Zhang Mu at the dinner table brought his plans one by one.
Of course, he didn't mention the stubble of setting up a bureau to set up money, but directly said that a friend introduced a crew.
But after listening to him, Zhang Jianjun couldn't help frowning and worried:
"You...... Aren't you fooling around! How can you be a director? ”
"Dad, why do you look down on people so much!"
Seeing that the old father questioned his ability, Zhang Mu was suddenly unhappy and said:
"Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run! There are so many crews going back and forth in our film and television city, I can watch them all! ”
Naturally, the director is not so simple, but Zhang Mu is really hard to explain, so he can only mess around.
Before Comrade Zhang Jianjun continued to question, Zhang's mother came out of the kitchen while wiping her hands, and nodded incessantly:
"That's it! Komaki has been smart since he was a child, and he can definitely learn it! Lao Zhang, don't pour cold water on me! ”
Zhang's mother praised her cub with satisfaction, and at the same time glanced at her husband with dissatisfaction.
After being glared at fiercely by his wife, Zhang Jianjun couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
He knew it was going to be like this.
Every time she does it, she beats it the hardest, but every time she is the most accustomed to her son.
Just like the matter of returning to the film and television city as a group performer after graduating from high school before, Zhang Jianjun resolutely refused to agree.
But he had no choice but to turn against his wife, and the kid succeeded.
So he sighed helplessly and said no more.
Then, after a moment of silence, he said:
"Group performances are not a problem, but there is really no one in the school film and television city, so you have to ask your third master about it."
After saying that, he took Zhang Mu with his hands behind his back and walked towards the depths of the old street.
