Chapter 368: An Awkward First Phone Call
During this time, there was such a thing in the Beijing entertainment industry.
That is, Xuluo has written a wonderful urban emotional script, and the roles have been chosen, and the filming will start in winter.
However, the role of this play was only chosen, the director of the crew was not decided, and the other actors of the crew were also undecided.
The reason is that the heroine of this play, Chen Xiaoxu, is filming "Ruan Lingyu" of Xiangjiang Jiahe Company in Shanghai.
Because I have to wait for her, I am not in a hurry about many things.
But this is not in a hurry, which has aroused the careful thinking of many people.
Who doesn't know that Xuluo's movies and TV series are lifting people?
A "Farewell My Concubine" directly praised Director Kai Ge to the altar.
Who wouldn't want to be the second Kai Ge director?
Even if you can't become a director of Brother Kai, you can direct "Silly Teacher", "Alien Girl", "The Story of the Editorial Department", and "I Love My Home".
These are all TV series that ordinary people like to see and have very long faces.
Whoever shoots it must be a great qualification, the kind that can bluff people when he takes it out.
All right.
In fact, in addition to qualifications, there is a very practical reason.
If you shoot a movie or TV series in Xuluo, there will definitely be a lot of monetary rewards.
For example, everyone knows that "Farewell My Concubine" sold very well overseas, with a net income of almost 9 million US dollars, and Xuluo would definitely not give US dollars, but he also rewarded director Kai Ge with 5 million yuan!
It's a private bonus!
Beijing Film Studio also occupies 40% of the profit share, and Xuluo doesn't make much money, but people dare to reward the director with a lot of money.
and in terms of TV series, filming "The Story of the Editorial Department", Mi Jiashan's director team took 2.2 million; Then filmed "I Love My Home", and they took more than 3 million.
Such a large reward can not only improve life, but also allow a director to treat his work more easily, without worrying about firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc. at home.
After all, everything is rising now, but wages are not rising, and the director is also a human being, and he also wants to make money to support his family!
Xuluo's lot of money also directly triggered another reason why directors wanted to make Xuluo movies and TV series.
That is, Xuluo does movies and TV series, and he will not pick and choose at all, what money to use, what tools to need, and what special effects to do...... Everyone does it.
Think about last year's Huaxia TV drama king - "Desire", it only cost 1 million yuan for 50 episodes, how pitiful is this?
If you give them another 1 million, the effect of the TV series will definitely go to the next level!
……
has said so many benefits, but there are not many directors who are qualified to be Xuluo's TV series.
First of all, you have to have the ability, and then you have to have the qualifications, and preferably the people of the Eying Studio.
The first two are the basic conditions.
The latter is the factor of preferential admission.
For example, Xuluo's recent production of "Heavy, Eucalyptus Six Groups" in Rongcheng is obviously suitable for many directors, and the one they chose is director Zhang Xihe.
Why?
Isn't it because Xuluo was born in Eying Studio, and director Zhang Xihe is the mainstay of Eying Studio?
That is, the TV series "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin" belongs to Beijing, and the taste is too strong to change, so it was robbed by Li Shaohong of Beijing Film Studio. ….
That's it, and the old man Wang Yang from Beijing Film Studio was dispatched to say hello.
Or do you think it's that easy?
Eight major film studios, who has such a treasure that won't be hidden?
Why should you earn the benefits?
But the situation is a little different now.
Several big directors in Eying Studio have their own things to do, even Han Sanping went out to make movies, and the remaining directors are not qualified enough to shoot Xuluo's scenes.
It's not that you can't shoot.
But if they were allowed to shoot, it would be a joke.
How big are other people's feet and how big shoes are they wearing.,You're obviously not capable enough.,Prefer to shoot such a good book.,Isn't it a joke?
That's why a lot of directors have been active.
Among them is Hu Mei, a young director of Huaxia TV's TV drama production center.
Don't look at Hu Mei's youth, she is only 33 years old when she becomes a director, but she has received a lot of praise in the TV drama production center of Huaxia TV.
And people have roots.
She graduated from Nortel's directing department in 82, and she is considered to be a director of Brother Kai's generation.
Then my first job was at Beijing Film Studio, where I became a screenwriter and then a director.
The next one to enter is Huaxia TV.
Hu Mei was very lucky, and the director who took her on Huaxia TV was named Yang Jie.
Right!
is Yang Jie of "Journey to the West", and Yang Jie of "The Legend of the New White Lady".
Therefore, Hu Mei first looked for director Yang Jie.
Yang Jie and Xuluo can be regarded as year-old friends, and helped Xuluo shoot "The Legend of the New White Lady", which is a bit of face in front of Xuluo.
Hearing Hu Mei's intention, Yang Jie, who poured her a cup of tea, nodded: "It's good that you have this self-motivated heart, but your preparation is not enough."
Hu Mei hurriedly asked, "What else do I need to work on?"
"It's one thing to be sophisticated, but it's more important to be familiar with the script." Yang Jie said, "I know Xiao Luo very well, and he likes to work with professional people the most...... Don't look at the last time Li Shaohong was the face of Wang Yang's old man, but she didn't work the script and didn't think about it seriously, Xiao Luo would not let her direct "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin".
"But I can't get the script!" Hu Mei said with a wry smile.
"You're going to have to use your brain!" Yang Jie nodded at her, "You are the director of Nortel level 82, and his aunt is the director of Huaju for 85 years...... If you go to a few acquaintances to introduce you, won't you be able to find his aunt and read the script? Won't she give you any face?"
"Chinese Opera and Our Nortel ......"
Hu Mei wanted to speak and stopped, but then decided: "Okay, I'll go to Rongcheng to find her!"
Yang Jie gave her a blank look, "What are you doing in Rongcheng? Just a phone call! Don't forget, Feng Yuanyi has a script in his hand! As long as Xuluo's aunt agrees, he will show you."
"Oooh!"
Hu Mei suddenly realized, but hurriedly coquettishly told Yang Jie, "Aunt Yang, didn't you work with Shen Qing in "The Legend of the New White Lady"? Why don't you give me a call?"
"Good!"
Yang Jie agreed simply, it can be said that this is what she thought about just now. ….
If you want to help people, you will help to the end.
picked up the landline, and she quickly dialed Shen Qing's phone, "Xiao Shen, I'm Yang Jie...... Well, I'll tell you something......
She told Hu Mei's request from beginning to end, including Hu Mei's desire to be the director of "Don't Talk to Strangers".
Hu Mei was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Yang Jie to sell herself so thoroughly.
Shen Qing listened to Yang Jie's words, asked for Feng Yuanyi's phone without saying a word, and then hung up.
Yang Jie turned her head and smiled and reminded her juniors: "Shen Qing's personality is very bold and generous, you have to remember when you get along with her in the future, you must not play tricks with her, otherwise it will be terrible for Xuluo to know."
"I see, thank you Aunt Yang!" Hu Mei can also be regarded as a lesson.
Thinking about it now, if it weren't for Yang Jie speaking so carefully, Shen Qing might not be so straightforward.
For people with a character like Shen Qing, people who hide and hide are not so popular.
Within two minutes, Shen Qing's phone call came back again: "Director Yang, that Feng Yuan is so angry with me! He didn't even give me face!"
"Huh?"
Yang Jie was surprised and said, "You didn't make your story clear
Identity?"
"That's it, I'm Xuluo's aunt!" Shen Qing said, "No one dares to pretend to be me like that, right?"
"But he still refused?"
"Yes!"
Shen Qing was so angry that his teeth itched, "He said that although I am Xuluo's aunt, this script has nothing to do with me, so he can't take out the script." Even if I promise to let Sister Hu watch it alone."
Yang Jie had a headache now, "What should I do then?"
"What to do...... What should I do......" Shen Qing gave her an idea, "Do you know Chen Xiaoxu's contact information? You ask Wang Fulin and Wang Dao to call Chen Xiaoxu and ask Chen Xiaoxu to tell him, maybe it will work."
"Wait!"
Yang Jie's eyes rolled, "No, Xiao Shen, what am I looking for Lao Wang for?" You give Xiao Xu a call...... She and Xiao Luo are good friends, and they must listen to you."
Don't look at Director Yang Jie's age, this head is really flexible.
The little thing between Xuluo and Chen Xiaoxu, many people can guess, it's just that they haven't made it public.
No matter how good Wang Fulin is to Chen Xiaoxu, he is also an outsider.
But Shen Qing is Xuluo's aunt, isn't this Chen Xiaoxu's aunt? How dare she not give face?
Shen Qing here is shelved.
She gritted her teeth, and wanted to refuse, but when the words came to her mouth, they changed: "Okay! I'll look for her contact information...... Maybe I won't be able to reply today."
"I'll have the patience to wait."
Yang Jie smiled and hung up the phone.
Hu Mei next to him was already anxious, and looked at her with blank eyes, "Aunt Yang, why are you going around in a big circle? It's so hard, can't it work......
Yang Jie smiled slightly, "There should be no problem, you go home and wait!" I'll call you when I'm connected."
Seeing that Yang Jie's stable aunt said that it was no problem, Hu Mei's heart swelled up with joy: "Thank you! Thank you, Aunt Yang! I'm going back and getting ready!!"
Yang Jie advised: "Do a good job, remember my words, this is just the beginning, whether you can impress Xuluo or not depends on your own level of study." ….
"Yes!"
Hu Mei nodded seriously in response.
She is not the kind of frivolous person, and she didn't want to shoot "Don't Talk to Strangers" only when she had a gimmick.
Completing a good TV series is her core goal!
……
In the evening, Chen Xiaoxu, who had been filming for a day, returned to the room.
Today, director Guan Jinpeng grinded her all afternoon, just to let her play Ruan Lingyu's spirit during filming.
The filming of a few decades ago is completely different from now, in order to fully conform to the model of the year, Chen Xiaoxu has been studying for three days, but it has all ended in failure.
Seeing that there was no way, Liang Jiahui, who was in the same crew, volunteered to explain to Chen Xiaoxu how to interpret it.
It was also with his help that Chen Xiaoxu felt that he had made a little progress.
These Xiangjiang actors really have a strong understanding of movies.
There was Zhang Guorong before, and now there is another Liang Jiahui whose acting skills are not lost to him.
I wanted to achieve something in acting before, but I was really naïve!
With the role of Sister Lin alone, where can she be famous in history?
You have to keep learning to catch up with the pace of a truly good actor!
"Jingle Bell~~"
The phone rings.
This is the first time anyone has called the extension of the phone in this room.
Chen Xiaoxu picked up the phone and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Hello?"
"Hey ......"
A nice woman's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you Chen Xiaoxu?"
"Yes, you are ......"
Chen Xiaoxu is inexplicable, is it a fan who likes himself?
As a result, the next moment, the woman startled her when she spoke: "My name is Shen Qing, and I am Xuluoxiao
Auntie."
"Huh!?"
Sister Lin almost threw the phone out.
She didn't know how many times she had heard Xuluo talk about her sister-in-law, and she knew that it was an elder that Xuluo liked and respected very much. Mom doesn't make much difference.
Isn't such an aunt calling herself equivalent to meeting her parents?
"Little ...... Hello Auntie!" After hesitating for a moment, Sister Lin still gritted her silver teeth and shouted.
Shen Qing is only two years older than Chen Xiaoxu.
Hearing this title, she also had a little tingling on her scalp.
I had the heart to say a few more words about this Sister Lin, but as soon as she thought of her good son, she couldn't say it.
Because Shen Qing knew that this would definitely hurt Xuluo's heart.
With a sigh, Shen Qing told Chen Xiaoxu the purpose of the call, "Let's see how to deal with it? The main reason is that Director Yang Jie has found me, and I am embarrassed to refuse."
"Oh, that's it!"
Chen Xiaoxu breathed a sigh of relief, "I have a script here, I'll go to a copy shop to make a copy of it myself, and send the fastest airmail to Mr. Hu Mei...... Auntie, just ask her to give me the address."
Shen Qing didn't bother to call again, so she said, "You know Director Yang Jie's address, right? Just send it to her."
"Okay."
After Chen Xiaoxu agreed, both sides of the phone fell silent.
They didn't know how to talk and chat, or because there was a void in the middle, it made them feel a little estranged and didn't know how to get along.
In the end, it was Shen Qing who said first: "Then so be it, you ...... If you're filming outside, take care of yourself."
"Hmm~~ Thank you, Auntie!" Chen Xiaoxu said more: "I also want to go and see Xiao Yiyi when I have time."
This dog thing!
Shen Qing beat Xuluo a hundred times in his heart.
What a thing to say to this woman!
I wonder what good she has?
But after thinking about it carefully, Sister Lin doesn't seem to have any shortcomings.
In addition to being a little older, she is quite qualified to be a man's daughter-in-law.
Shen Qing, who was very entangled, could only say "um" and simply said goodbye to Chen Xiaoxu.
The two women who hung up the phone sighed in unison.
And then at the same time complained about a person.
You bad thing, it's really harmful!!
