Chapter 395: "Little Clever" and "Guts" [Two in One]

In other words, although "Painted Skin 2" has been approved, and Ning Hao has already mastered the power of the crew, it is still early to start the film.

Because in addition to casting, there is also a lot of work that Ning Hao needs to prepare.

It's just a little surprising that this time Ning Hao's first preparation was the art department. And he's involved in almost every detail, from concept design to art style.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to the movie picture this time.

It can be said that such a move is very restless!

However, Goofy is happy to see it.

After all, for a successful director like Ning Hao, it is a good thing to be innovative.

Although it is a bit risky, at least he is not like Chen Shiren, who will eat for a lifetime when he makes a film!

So, with the support of Gao Fei, Ning Hao played more and more energetically.

From the studio set props to the design and production of weapons, he strives for realism at every step. Especially the general's mansion in the script is the top priority of Ning Hao's attention.

I don't know if the director is a little obsessive-compulsive and detail-controlled.

However, the others Gao Fei didn't know, but Ning Hao might be a little bit.

Because he even had to personally see the stone slabs in the general's mansion, the screens, the screens, the pillars, and the contents of the painting screens.

Only after he nods his head can the art team and props team start the set work.

As a result, the preparation of the film will naturally become more and more onerous.

But fortunately, this time the art design of "Painted Skin 2" was found by Ye Jingtian, so although the preparation of the movie was cumbersome and heavy, it was busy but not chaotic.

It's just that in this way, Goofy is rarely idle.

So he didn't have to rush into the group to film, so he gave himself a small vacation.

……

October 8th.

Saturday morning, 10:30 a.m.

When the migrant workers who were trapped in post-holiday syndrome were going to work weakly, Gao Fei was galloping leisurely on the horse farm.

The horse's hooves step on the morning light, and the autumn breeze is soft.

That's called a chic and uninhibited, comfortable mood!

It's just that such a free-spirited situation is sometimes quite hateful.

At least at this moment, Zhao Liying's eyes outside the grassland were almost red with envy, and she even had an urge to strike in her heart.

And a greasy bald old man who came with her couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"That's life!"

However, when he thought that he was only forty years old but couldn't even raise tens of millions of investments, and Gao Fei, who was far younger than him, could have such a large horse farm around the capital, Xu Zheng suddenly felt that he had lived in vain all these years.

It's just that as soon as this emotion rose, he was suppressed by Xu Zheng, because he didn't come to pantothenic acid, but to find money.

Thinking of this, the greasy smile on Xu Zheng's face suddenly became a little more full.

At the same time, Goofy, who had been galloping around the river on horseback, was also feeling a little tired, so he turned and walked back.

When he saw Zhao Liying and Xu Zheng waiting not far away, Gao Fei couldn't help but glance at the two of them in surprise.

But I really can't imagine how these two got together.

And looking at the posture of the two, it is obvious that they will not come to play, and when Gao Fei thinks of this, he is not in a hurry to wash the horse.

After handing over the sweaty black wind to the staff on the side, Gao Feidang, dressed in riding clothes, jumped out cleanly even with one hand on the fence on the sidelines.

Seeing this situation, Xu Zheng on the side suddenly gave a thumbs up with a smile on his face and praised:

"Beautiful! Mr. Gao, your skills are really neat enough, and you deserve to be a new generation of kung fu emperors! ”

Hearing this, Gao Fei immediately couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"I won the prize, Mr. Xu."

"I can't afford this name!"

But even though he knew that Xu Zheng was deliberately touting, Gao Fei's mood was still quite happy.

After all, you can't wear thousands of clothes, but you don't wear sycophants!

After the two exchanged a few words, Zhao Liying on the side also briefly talked about the experience of the two acquaintances.

It turned out that when filming "People in Embarrassment", because the crew had a limited budget, they could only choose to shoot in the Spring Festival scene.

It can be said that the whole film was rubbed out by the crew following the tide of the Spring Festival.

Even when director Ye Weixin was too busy, some scenes were filmed by Xu Zheng.

But as the heroine of the movie, Zhao Liying is also familiar with Xu Zheng.

Because she was her first movie heroine, her status in Zhao Liying's heart is still quite important.

Seeing Zhao Liying say this, Gao Fei's mind suddenly had a little influence.

So he immediately said a little suddenly:

"Oh, I remember, is it the movie that fooled you with the female number one?"

It is said that not long after Xiao Yuan's face became popular, a movie took the initiative to come to the door and asked her to play the heroine, so it really made her proud.

Therefore, after the movie was released, Xiao Zhao also specially begged for his own pocket and chartered the venue to invite Gao Fei and Han Li to watch the movie.

It's just that I didn't expect the final product to be a bit embarrassing.

I didn't see the heroine who said yes, but there were a lot of messy scenes.

And there is no heroine in the whole film at all.

It can be said that it really made the little round face lose an adult!

Because of this, Xiao Zhao almost had a shadow on the movie theater, and he didn't dare to enter the movie theater for several years.

Seeing Gao Fei say this, Zhao Liying suddenly remembered the movie-watching experience that almost made her die, so she couldn't help but blush:

"Oh, I said that it wasn't like this, and Sister Han also read the script at the beginning, so it's really not a lie."

Xu Zhengyan even explained a little embarrassedly:

"That's true, Mr. Gao."

"At the beginning, not only Li Ying, but even me and Bao Qiang, as well as Li Xiaolu, and Li Man's scenes were deleted a lot."

"By the way, among them, the Chengdu girl who plays Baoqiang's girlfriend is the worst."

"At that time, because of the model lake given by the review opinion, the producer was in a hurry, so the director simply deleted all her scenes."

Hearing this, Gao Fei nodded slightly.

If you say so, the inexplicable plot of "People in Embarrassment" can be explained.

Thinking like this, Goofy skipped the matter.

But then again, until this moment, Gao Fei was still a little curious about Xu Zheng's intentions.

Because he and Xu Zheng knew each other as early as when they were filming "Crazy Stone".

Although it is only the kind of nodding acquaintance, it can be regarded as an old acquaintance.

Therefore, if Xu Zheng wants to visit him, he should not need Zhao Liying to introduce him at all.

So Gao Fei immediately didn't bother to be verbose, and directly looked straight to the point and asked about the intentions of the two.

It's just that what Gao Fei didn't expect was that this matter had something to do with the "People in Embarrassment".

……

It was precisely because of the directorial experience of the crew of "People in Embarrassment" that Xu Zheng rose to the mind of becoming a director.

It's just that although the idea is good, Xu Zheng has been unable to attract investment for a long time.

Although he has compressed all the budgets to the extreme, there is still no investor willing to give him 30 million to squander.

Even to some extent, he is a well-known actor.

But an actor is an actor, and it is not so easy to cross the border.

Don't look at Xu Jinglei and Yu Feihong, it seems that they easily transformed from actors to directors, but the methods of these two are not something that Xu Zheng can learn.

(⊙o⊙)… No, Xu Jinglei's method can't be learned, but Yu Feihong's way Xu Zheng can try one or two.

It's just that......

Looking at Xu Zheng's current appearance, it is obvious that he does not have Yu Feihong's original courage to break the kettle.

Otherwise, although 30 million is more, in terms of Xu Zheng's net worth, I am afraid it is not much worse.

You must know that the houses in Shanghai are not cheap, if Xu Zheng is willing to sell his house and car, he can still make up most of it.

Even in Gao Fei's view, the investors he had previously contacted were not necessarily really uninterested in Xu Zheng's project.

It's just that he didn't dare to gamble because he didn't dare to take the risk.

I have to say that since becoming the boss, many times Gao Fei's idea of looking at problems has unconsciously changed a lot.

Thinking of this, even though Goofy hadn't seen the script yet, he had little interest in the project in his heart.

Even if there is an introduction from Zhao Liying, even if Xu Zheng is his acquaintance.

But, business is business!

Thinking like this, Gao Fei did not rush to read the script, but walked on the lawn while smiling softly:

"The idea is great, but the director is not so easy!"

Seeing Gao Fei say this, Xu Zheng's heart suddenly sank slightly.

It is the so-called obedient and listening.

As soon as Gao Fei said this, Xu Zheng immediately understood his attitude.

Although I don't know why Gao Fei's reaction is similar to those investors in front of him, Xu Zheng is still a little unwilling in his heart.

So after a moment of silence, he saw him smile bitterly and said:

"I also know it's not easy!"

"It's just that I'm not reconciled!"

"Since no one is looking for me to film, then I'll support myself!"

Speaking of this, Xu Zheng immediately looked at Gao Fei with a resolute face, and sincerely requested:

"Mr. Gao, please give me a chance to take a look at the book!"

Seeing his appearance, Gao Fei couldn't help but nod secretly.

Regardless of whether this is self-defeating or not, at least the courage is still good.

Thinking of this, Goofy didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Xu Zheng was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a document from his bag and handed it to Gao Fei.

A thick pile, the weight is not light.

Gao Fei opened it and saw that he had nailed the project plan and the script together, so he immediately shook his head amusedly.

But he still didn't say anything, just leaned against the fence and watched.

Seeing this, Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

……

A quarter of an hour later, when Goofy put down the document in his hand, he had almost already had a plan in his mind.

How so...... The script is not bad, but there are also a lot of faults!

This "Thai Embarrassment" obviously takes the route of Yizhuang and harmony.

In addition to being funny, there is no lack of affection.

But it is precisely so, so it is especially a test of the strength of the actors.

Especially the role of "baby" in the script, to some extent, is even more important than the male protagonist "Xu Lang" played by Xu Zheng himself.

Because this character almost concentrates most of the laughs in the film, he is often responsible for the most enthusiastic laughs.

So if this role is not chosen well, it will have a great impact on the movie.

However, not everyone can act in comedy movies.

You must know that although there are many actors in the circle who have first-class acting skills, they just can't act in comedy, and even how they act makes people play.

If it weren't for that, there would be no such thing as "eye edge".

And this film is a pure men's play, although the three male protagonists in the play have their own highlights, but in the eyes of the film investors, it is an out-and-out poisonous point.

Because the reason why "vase actors" can still exist for a long time in the global film and television industry is because they have a certain value.

To sum up, it is no wonder that Xu Zheng has not been able to attract investment.

After all, from the script to him personally, almost all of them are minus points, how dare you let others throw money?

It's true that they have money, but money doesn't fall from the world!

It's just that......

Although the risk of this project is not small, Gao Fei has the intention of investing.

Because what he is worried about now is that there are no reliable projects, so that he can't spend even if he has money.

So he immediately put down the script and glanced at Xu Zheng, who was nervous on the side, with a smile, and then in his anxious eyes, he said softly:

"I also have a rough look at the planning behind it, the budget is good, and 30 million is really not expensive!"

"But you only count the production cost, not the publicity cost...... Which country is the rule? ”

As soon as he said this, Xu Zheng was suddenly dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment and disappointment on his face.

It's just that just when Xu Zheng thought that this time he was going to return in vain, Gao Fei suddenly said again:

"But this book is not bad.,Well,At least I like it.。

"Don't pick and search, 50 million, Zhou Yi voted!"

"You don't have to worry about the crew or anything, the strength of our Zhou Yi behind-the-scenes team is not much worse in China, not to mention the first and second."

"You just need to film and act with peace of mind!"

When he heard this, Xu Zheng was immediately stunned.

He never expected that Gao Fei not only agreed to invest, but also took the initiative to raise the budget.

This made Xu Zheng a little unable to react for a while.

Even Gao Fei's nanny-style operation made Xu Zheng feel moved to cry while being flattered.

There's no way, happiness comes too fast, Xu Zheng is still a little uncomfortable!

Xu Zheng, who came back to his senses quickly, thanked Gao Fei with excitement on his face.

With that grinning and happy look, even Zhao Liying on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Chen Zhixi, who received Gao Fei's call, to arrive, and Gao Fei was able to ask Xu Zheng, who was excited.

After watching the two leave in a hurry, Gao Fei suddenly couldn't help but look at Zhao Liying on the side with some curiosity and asked:

"There is obviously no role suitable for you in this play, how can you think of being this good person?"

Because she has been with Gao Fei for the longest time, Zhao Liying sometimes doesn't see her in front of Gao Fei.

So I saw her white, Gao Fei glanced at her, and said helplessly:

"Boss, everything doesn't have to be profitable."

"Anyway, it's just a matter of helping, it doesn't matter to me if it works out or not, what's there to think about?"

Hearing this, Gao Fei didn't care about Assistant Zhao's "following offenses", after all, when she was an assistant, she didn't stab a knife in his heart.

Therefore, Gao Fei immediately smiled casually and shook his head:

"That's your style, brainless, moral."

"I just don't know if others are developed, will they remember your favor!"

Seeing Gao Fei say this, Zhao Liying immediately couldn't help but be dissatisfied:

"What do you mean by no brains, I'm just too lazy to use my brains, okay, I'm smart!"

It's just that her words full of wisdom obviously didn't convince Gao Fei.

Even, Goofy still wanted to laugh.

So Zhao Liying, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally ...... Turned around and left.

Seeing this, Gao Fei finally couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
