Chapter 34: Killing the Door
I returned to Rongcheng, and it was already April.
Director Li Jiamu and a group of staff members had already taken the train to Guangdong a few days earlier to make arrangements in advance.
Xuluo asked Wang Jing to help him see if he could find some connections in Yuezhou, so that they could shoot in a regular factory.
Wang Fatzi has a wide range of contacts, and immediately found the owner of an electronic component factory, in exchange for a promise to give a separate acknowledgment advertisement at the end of the film, and to show the overall appearance of the factory, in exchange for the promise of free for the entire filming process.
Then Wang Fatzi also came with a more amazing move.
He directly agreed to the factory boss to be the deputy director in charge of production in the TV series, which is the kind of character who has lines and appears more than once.
As soon as the boss heard that there was such a benefit, he immediately agreed that the crew could not only shoot in the factory, but also live in the dormitory of the factory, and eat and drink for free.
Okay.
This came and went directly to save at least 100,000 yuan in expenses for "Alien Girl".
The third uncle gave in directly, and went to explain to Xie Lihong in person, explaining the intention of adding this role.
Chen Xiaoxu, Tang Zhenzong and other six people also took the train to Guangdong for the first time.
Originally, Xuluo wanted to buy them a ticket, but Sister Lin resolutely refused, she didn't want to be special again and again.
Again, that's the same sentence.
Don't look at her weakness, but she is actually a girl who is very strong in her bones.
Well......
Blazing horses.
Only a fiery horse can match a hero.
After sending Sister Lin away, Xu Luo still had some regrets in his heart.
The last time the beauty kissed her lips, this was the most intimate contact between the two so far.
As a result, God probably fell asleep, and he didn't give himself a little future memory to open.
Even in the few days in Tsukyo, there was no information at all.
In vain, he took Sister Lin to almost all the big and small attractions in Victory.
I was a little depressed here, and there was good news from the Xiangjiang side.
"Taken!?"
Xuluo received a call from Cai Yongchang, "Great! Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Zou, thank you, Mr. Cai...... Well, by the way, how much? ”
"They're very reluctant to let go, so in addition to 1 million cash, they need a script for you." Cai Yongchang said: "But the price of your script is 1 million, and they also agree with this, so this 1 million is equivalent to offsetting." ”
The boy knew right away.
In other words, Li Bihua's side sold the copyright of "Farewell My Concubine" at the cost of one of his own scripts.
On the surface, it seems that Xuluo took advantage, but in fact, Li Bihua got more.
After all, now in Xiangjiang, the most popular screenwriter is Xuluo.
"Good!"
Xuluo, who had no surplus food in his hand, gritted his teeth and agreed, "I will strive to give the script to Mr. Li within two months." ”
The story of "Farewell My Concubine", Xu Luo likes it very much, and it is certainly worth it to spend a little more price for the story he likes.
After all, it's hard to buy a thousand dollars, I like it.
Oh yes.
Xu Luo read the original work of "Farewell My Concubine" during this time.
At the end of Li Bihua's "Farewell My Concubine", Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi met frankly in a bathroom in Xiangjiang many years later.
As a result, the movie version that Xu Luo saw was Cheng Dieyi's death when he was rehearsing with Duan Xiaolou on stage many years later.
This is very poignant, drawing an imperfect end to this love that is intolerable in itself.
This is also the best explanation of Cheng Dieyi's fate.
He does not intend to stay true to the original, but to continue the classics of the film itself.
"But Li Bihua, she wants to ask you, how are you going to shoot?" Cai Yongchang said: "She has sold the copyright, it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with her......
"Excuse me, Mr. Cai, tell me about ...... Mr. Li" Xuluo quickly made a decision: "I am going to find Mr. Zhang Guorong to play Cheng Dieyi." ”
"Zhang Guorong?"
Cai Yongchang hung up the phone thoughtfully.
It didn't take long for him to call back, "Li Bihua has no opinion, she asked me to tell you, please treat this work well." ”
"I will!"
Xuluo said seriously.
The soul of the whole "Farewell My Concubine" is Cheng Dieyi, Zhang Guorong acted very well, he guessed that Li Bihua would like it.
As it turned out, he guessed right.
……
Void is not a god-man.
He guessed Li Bihua's mind, but he couldn't guess the other person's mind.
Just the next afternoon, there was a knock on the door of the house.
Xu Luo opened the door and looked, but it was a somewhat familiar woman in her thirties.
Not only him, but this woman also looked at Xuluo with a puzzled face.
Then she suddenly thought about it, and her face changed greatly: "You are Xuluo!?" ”
Xuluo scratched his head, "This lady, we ...... Ever seen? ”
The woman's face was a little ugly, "Before the Spring Festival, Yi Jing, café, director Kai Ge and I ......"
When she said these few key words, Xu Luo immediately realized: "Ah, it turned out to be you, Xu ...... Xu ......"
"Xu Feng!" The woman looked at Xuluo carefully and found that he didn't mean to be a joke, "You really don't know who I am?" ”
"You are from Xiangjiang, and you want to introduce me to acting in a movie...... Of course I remember! Xuluo stepped out of the way, "Come, Ms. Xu, come in and sit!" ”
Xu Feng walked in.
Seeing the young man close the door, she looked at Xuluo and said, "To be honest, did you have a crooked mind because you saw me and Director Kai discussing?" Just robbed me of my project!? ”
Xu Luo was inexplicable, "Ms. Xu, what are you talking about?" …… No, what are you coming to me for? Didn't I tell you that I have no interest in being an actor? ”
"Huh!"
Xu Feng sneered, "Of course you have no interest in being an actor, you are interested in making movies!" Wow, Mr. Xuluoxu, you are so hidden! I really thought you didn't know anything about the little white flower!! ”
Little white flowers?
Xuluo frowned.
That's the word to describe a woman, right?
He coughed lightly, and his face became solemn: "Ms. Xu, if you have something to say, just speak, if you are still so yin and yang, get out of here...... Don't give you a shame, as soon as you come up, you don't have a face, I still feel ashamed for you! ”
The young man's sudden change in attitude made Xu Fengbei stunned, and then even more annoyed, "Okay! Then you explain to me, why did you rob me of "Farewell My Concubine"!? ”
"Your "Farewell My Concubine"?!"
Xu Luo was stunned again, "Aren't you Ms. Xu Feng?" Didn't Ms. Li Bihua write the book? ”
Xu Feng sneered: "Pretend!" You keep loading it for me! You are so well-connected in Xiangjiang, will you not know that I have already bought the adaptation rights of "Farewell My Concubine"? And you used a clever way to let my husband hide from me and sell the adaptation rights of "Farewell My Concubine" to you? ”
The boy was even more confused, "That's not right! I entrusted Boss Zou of Golden Harvest to help me buy the adaptation rights of "Farewell My Concubine...... Didn't he buy it directly from Teacher Li Bihua? ”
"Fart!"
Xu Feng said firmly: "They bought it from my family's Tomson Film Company!" ”
"Oh! I see!! ”
Xuluo remembered what Cai Yongchang called yesterday.
He used "they are unwilling to let go", not "Li Bihua is unwilling to let go".
And at that time, the teenager was still a little strange, why did Li Bihua, a writer, want my script?
Does everyone in Hong Kong want to make movies and make money?
If it's this Tomson Film Company, then all the doubts will be solved!
Immediately, he recalled the first time he and Xu Feng met.
What Xu Feng said was, "Director Kaige, what do you think of him playing the adult little four?" ”
Little four!
Little four!
Isn't this the miserable little supporting role in "Farewell My Concubine"?
Thinking of this, Xuluo suddenly realized: "The last time we met in Yijing, Ms. Xu, you went to Director Kai Ge to discuss "Farewell My Concubine"?" ”
"Yes!"
Xu Feng said angrily: "I've been talking to him for almost three months, but you stepped in and directly robbed my things!" What do I do now? Is all the hard work I talked about with Director Kai in vain? ”
Xuluo didn't feel that his head hurt.
He knew that "Farewell My Concubine" was a good work, so he wanted to take it.
didn't expect that people already had masters, and they had already started to operate early.
If what Xu Feng said was true, then Xuluo already understood a little.
The "Farewell My Concubine" he "saw" was a movie produced by Xu Feng and directed by Brother Kai!
This also explains why, except for Zhang Guorong, the rest are mainland actors Zhang Fengyi, Ge You, and Gong Li to play the leading roles.
People are the real deal!
Looking at Xu Feng's angry and unwilling eyes, he was not a wicked young man, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Or...... Take this movie ......
Before this thought could fully emerge, Xuluo's eyes suddenly became colorful.
He saw a beautiful beach.
I saw countless brilliant men and women, most of them were foreigners, but there were two handsome Chinese guys in black suits and white shirts - it was Zhang Guorong and Zhang Fengyi, whom he was familiar with.
In the middle of the two is a beautiful woman in a white shirt and black trousers, who else is not Gong Li?
In the next scene, a handsome old European man with a big back announces the list of winners in English.
"The winner of the 46th Palme d'Or is...... "Farewell My Concubine" from Huaguo! ”
Then Xu Luo saw Xu Feng and Director Kai Ge walking up, and excitedly picked up the small Palme d'Or trophy.
The next moment, the camera immediately shifted to another place.
It is another stage for awards.
This time, the old man who presented the award still announced the list of winners in English.
"The winner of the 51st Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film is...... "Farewell My Concubine" from Huaguo! ”
Then Xu Feng and Director Kai Ge walked up and excitedly picked up the Golden Globe trophy.
……
It's back to reality, but it's just a moment.
Xu Luo looked at Xu Feng and said without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Ms. Xu Feng, "Farewell My Concubine" is mine now!" ”
