Chapter 29: Late Bloomer
However, although Jiang Wu is not as amazing and talented as his brother, he is better than a steady and down-to-earth person.
On weekdays, he doesn't rely on Jiang Wen's name to swagger outside, as long as the play is good, whether it is the protagonist or supporting role.
So since 2000, he has acted in dozens of TV series, almost all of which are inconspicuous roles.
But it is precisely like this that his acting skills have been honed.
But unfortunately, before receiving a call from Makino Film and Television, he happened to receive an invitation from the second male in the TV series "Farewell, Vancouver", so he couldn't help but be a little entangled for a while.
If it's a general TV series, it's okay, but in the same case of the second male, he must choose a movie.
But this "Farewell, Vancouver" is Zhao Baogang's drama, and the heroes and heroines Chen Kun and Li Xiaoran are also popular, no matter how you look at it, they are all about to become popular.
As for Zhang Mu, although he has a well-known "Pen Fairy", after all, he has not proven himself in the domestic film market, so Jiang Wu really didn't know how to choose for a while.
In the end, it was his wife who woke him up with a sentence and made him decide to read the script first.
So Makino Film and Television had just finished making a phone call, and this guy appeared in front of Zhang Mu on the back foot, which really startled him.
However, Zhang Mu didn't feel offended by his request to open the script first.
After all, this is the ethics of a good actor, but in most cases, many people can't do it.
Moreover, Zhang Mu also has enough confidence in his own script.
Sure enough, half an hour later, when Jiang Wu put down the script, he gave Zhang Mu a thumbs up with admiration on his face.
Then he thanked him gratefully:
"Director Zhang, thank you! Thanks for such a good book, you can think of me! ”
"If you have something to say in the future, I promise to be on call!"
After that, he signed the contract without hesitation, and he didn't care about the salary and treatment.
In his opinion, if he can meet such a good book, he doesn't have to play it without money!
After getting Jiang Wu done, Zhang Mu was quite happy, after all, people had to come to his crew even if Zhao Baogang's drama was not performed, which made him feel that his face was bright.
No way, he's such a layman!
But Zhang Mu didn't expect that Jiang Wu would come again with a painful face the next day.
Before he could speak, he saw a strong man with a bold and rough face walking in.
Zhang Mu suddenly glanced at Jiang Wu subconsciously, and blurted out:
", Lao Jiang, are you going to take revenge?"
When Jiang Wu heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and apologized to Zhang Mulian:
"Director Zhang, this is really not what I want."
"When I went back yesterday, my brother happened to come over to visit the door, and he accidentally let him see the script."
Speaking of this, Jiang Wu also said a little tiredly:
"He's coming, and I can't stop him! Forgive me, forgive me! ”
Jiang Wen on the side saw that the two of them were singing and harmonizing, and he was not angry, but just grinned and said:
"It's too much! What should I do if you are a plague god? ”
As he spoke, he didn't see the outside, even if he found a place to sit down.
But jokes aside, Zhang Mu still admires Jiang Wen, a talented director and talented actor.
After a few idle words, Jiang Wen didn't say anything, and even looked at Zhang Mudao with a sincere face:
"Director Zhang, you still lack a male lead, right? Look at me! ”
said that the big director really patted his chest and sold without a frame:
"Cheap! Live well! ”
That shameless appearance made Jiang Wu have no face to look at.
However, Zhang Mu understands very well, after all, when a good actor meets a good book, he will indeed throw away everything reserved.
But Jiang Wen is so talented, he is not only the actor Jiang Wen, but also the director Jiang Wen.
So in the face of Jiang Wen's door-to-door sales, Zhang Mu could only smile helplessly:
"Director Jiang, with your acting skills, isn't the domestic crew at your disposal? Why do you have to come to my grass platform team to join in the fun? ”
Seeing Zhang Mu say this, Jiang Wen didn't fool him, immediately touched his chin, and said with a smile:
"Your book is more interesting than "Looking for a Gun", I feel itchy just by looking at it, and I said I can't come?"
When Zhang Mu heard this, he was speechless and said:
"But I don't want to be the second Lu Chuan!"
As soon as Zhang Mu said this, Jiang Wu on the side couldn't hold back anymore, and even laughed. Even Jiang Wen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face.
Speaking of "Looking for a Gun" released last year, everyone who has seen it knows that it is Jiang Wen's movie at all.
As for Lu Chuan?
It's just a tool man who is forced to cry.
And after the news of this incident spread, domestic directors did not dare to ask Jiang Wen to act anymore if they still had some pursuits.
Of course, those who have already lay flat say otherwise.
Just like Jiang Wen in the first half of the year, he just helped Xu Jinglei, a talented woman in the Beijing circle, complete her directorial debut "Me and Dad".
This talented woman Xu cooperated with Jiang Wen very happily, and there was no news of crying.
Seeing that Zhang Mu even said "Lu Chuan's second", Jiang Wen also knew that this matter was indeed unlikely, so he also gave up.
However, Jiang Wu's posture of watching the excitement was immediately angry.
So with a roll of his eyes, he looked at Zhang Mudao:
"Director Zhang, since the protagonist can't do it, then it's okay for me to make a cameo appearance in a supporting role, right? I think that policeman Luo Ying is good, why don't you give it to me? ”
Before his words landed, Jiang Wu, who was still watching the excitement, suddenly became anxious, and immediately kicked over.
"Don't be lacking in virtue!"
However, after Jiang Wu got Jiang Wen away, who was intent on making trouble, Zhang Mu thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.
After all, an actor like Jiang Wen can always give the director some unexpected surprises. If it weren't for his strong desire to control, there would be no domestic director who didn't want to work with him.
It's just that when he thought that Jiang Wen was the master who could argue with Lao Mouzi from the beginning of filming to the finale, Zhang Mu's impatient heart suddenly settled down.
There's no way, Jiang Wen's water is too deep, Zhang Mu feels that he can't grasp it, so let's let Lao Mouzi come!
After dealing with Jiang Wen's unexpected trouble, it didn't take long for Chef Fan Weifan to find Makino Bar.
When he saw that the office of Makino Film and Television was upstairs in the bar, Fan Wei couldn't help but say:
"Director Zhang, are you a chef?"
"If I can't act in this play, it's good to be a cook, I have to go back to the whole job!"
When he saw Fan Wei's smile that looked like an honest man, Zhang Mu couldn't help but laugh:
"Teacher Fan, I'm not recruiting honest people, if you do this, you won't be able to pass the test!"
Saying this, he gave the script to Fan Wei.
Fan Wei immediately understood when he saw this, so he took the script and read it.
It didn't take long for him to silently close the script and close his eyes and think.
After a while, I saw Fan Wei suddenly open his eyes suddenly.
Suddenly, Zhang Mu felt that the momentum on Fan Wei's body changed, and the original honest and honest temperament was swept away, but there was a trace of arrogance that seemed to be nothing.
I saw that his eyes were looking ahead without focus, as if he was remembering something, and then slowly lit a cigarette and smoked silently.
Although Fan Wei didn't say a word from beginning to end, Zhang Mu seemed to really see an outdated but not down-to-earth superstar reminiscing about the past.
Seeing this, Zhang Mu couldn't help but applaud lightly in admiration.
It turns out that the really clever acting skills really don't need words!
