Chen Daoming called to make an appointment...

"Outstanding Citizen", he acted very coolly.

There is a feeling of heartiness.

Therefore, actors like to act in dramas.

It's really more enjoyable.

You think, make a movie, make a shot for a long time, play one, two, three, it's boring.

It's been a long time since the next shot was taken.

In the movie, the actor is just a tool.

On the stage, a performance is two hours, the tour is still performed every day, and the performance is always new, do you say that it can not exercise much for the actors?

On stage, the actor is the subject.

Moreover, how cool the acting is, if you really enter the role, it is called a hearty, like love, the excitement comes up, the director shouts the card, and he holds it back, just imagine, hold it down halfway, it's too uncomfortable...

But "Distinguished Citizen" is not the same...

This thing is a dialogue from the scene, purely stage-like...

And the logic is clear ...

Chen Daoming's actor movie is not enjoyable, and he even contacted the National Theater to make a drama version!

By the way, "Outstanding Citizen" also signed up for the Venice Film Festival - I took the initiative to contact the filmmaker before the start of filming...

Not surprisingly, being shortlisted for the main competition unit is not a big problem.

As for whether you can win the prize, it's hard to say...

Anyway, whether he can win the award or not does not affect Chen Daoming's recognition of Shen Xudong, so he took the initiative to call and ask if there was a new script.

Shen Xudong has any new script...

He only recently got "Beauty Scheming", "The Age of Fruit Marriage" is about to start writing, and there is no new script at all!

But... A good screenwriter, he can't refuse a manuscript!

Whatever you ask, you have to say that there is...

In this gap, Shen Xudong thought of two scripts - "Witnessed by the Whole People" and "The Tailor"...

To be precise, "Witness to the Whole People" was thought of after seeing my little aunt Deng Jiajia in the audition room that day, and "The Tailor" was just thought of...

"Witnessed by the Whole People" won't talk much about it, that is, the daughter drove and killed her stepmother, and the father wanted to help his daughter take the blame...

The story of "The Tailor" is derived from "The Suit", which is the story of the tailor and the gangster.

In the 70s of the last century, the male protagonist and the female clerk ran a tailor shop, and the biggest customer of the shop was a local gangster, so the gang members often haunted the tailor shop and used it as a stronghold.

"The focus of the story is on gang infighting, and the protagonist looks like a bystander at first, but he is actually the one who plays chess... The overall routine is that a hidden master opens a tailor shop, and when he encounters a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, he uses his intelligence to resolve it..."

"Which of the two do you think is suitable?"

Chen Daoming on the other end of the phone hesitated, and then said: "If it's "The Tailor", is the movie going to Hong Kong to shoot?" ”

“… That's no way, mainland movies don't allow gangster elements! ”

“… Send me both of them, and I'll read the script! ”

After "Infernal Affairs 3", Director Chen obviously lost interest in Hong Kong movies...

But the story of "The Tailor" is particularly to his taste - the stage play mode, and the plot basically unfolds in the tailor's shop...

"Hmm... Wait for me to go back and sort out my thoughts, two weeks at most, and send you the full script..."

“… I didn't write a word..."

"No, I'm working with the group, I'm not idle... Not to mention the pickled girls..."

"Goodbye Teacher Chen."

Hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong clapped his hands - another project came to the door!

After listening to it for a long time, Brother Hu hurriedly asked, "Teacher Chen, which Teacher Chen?" ”

"Mr. Chen Daoming... Oh, he asked me for a script..."

Brother Hu nodded: "I heard it, what about the two..."

Hearing this, Shen Xudong advised: "... Don't spread the word, it's not easy for screenwriters to think of some creativity! ”

“… I'm sure I'm not going to spread it, not necessarily the two of them! ”

Brother Hu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes gestured to An Yixuan, who was sitting on the side, and... Liu Yifei, who just came over...

Shen Xudong swallowed: "Did you both hear it?" ”

Liu Yifei raised her hand: "I didn't listen to it all, I knew that you were going to continue to cooperate with Mr. Chen Daoming..."

“… That's okay, what about An Yixuan? ”

"I... I didn't listen carefully, but I watched Mr. Chen Daoming's play! ”

Brother Hu interjected: "Infernal Affairs 3" is it? ”

An Yixuan shook his head: "No, it's "Kangxi Dynasty"... It has been broadcast in Taiwan, and the performance is really good! ”

"Kangxi Dynasty" has been broadcast in Taiwan?

There is a line in this play: 'Taiwan has been a province of China since ancient times, and it is not the turn of any ghosts to make irresponsible remarks!' ’

Shen Xudong wanted to ask, but he was embarrassed, and was about to change the topic, An Yixuan asked again: "Is Mr. Chen Daoming very famous in the mainland?" ”

"Well, no matter the qualifications or connections, you can be independent..."After thinking about it, Shen Xudong took "Outstanding Citizen" as an example: "The first movie I worked with him, I only wrote the script, and the director, investors, and distributors were all arranged by him..."

Brother Hu suddenly sighed: "I don't know when I will be able to cooperate with Mr. Chen Daoming!" ”

An Yixuan pushed him: "Then you beg the screenwriter to let him write a role for you, and the building near the water will get the moon first!" ”

“… Yes, screenwriter, do you think it's okay? ”

“… It depends on the situation, let's talk about it after the broadcast of "Fairy Sword"! ”

……

After the broadcast of "Fairy Sword", Brother Hu was very popular.

is so popular that Zhang Guoli makes a movie, the heroine invited Zhang Baizhi and Zhou Bichang, and the actor is looking for him - "The 601st Phone"!

Why not find someone else?

And the box office is not bad, more than 10 million!

Ranked in the top 15 of the year.

You must know that the year was 2006, and the tenth domestic film box office was "Crazy Stone" with 23 million...

More than 10 million can blow a big sale.

Of course, "Witnessed by the Whole People" and "The Tailor" are not suitable for Brother Hu, even if he wants to play, he can only play a supporting role with soy sauce...

……

Liu Yifei returned to the room after eating, and Aunt Liu asked her as usual whether the food was delicious or not...

“… It's okay, I like the food here. ”

"That's good..."

"Mom, why don't you go down and eat?"

What else could be the reason?

She clearly felt that Shen Xudong's attitude towards her had become indifferent...

Then don't be bored with yourself - Shen Xudong basically pays for dinner.

Aunt Liu casually explained: "Mom is not used to eating with so many people..."

Liu Yifei didn't doubt him, nodded, took out the script and prepared to memorize the lines, when she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Shen... My brother wants to continue to cooperate with Mr. Chen Daoming! ”

“… Who? ”

"Mr. Chen Daoming... I've heard it's two plays! ”

"Did you say who the director is? Who is the production company? Who is the producer? ”

Aunt Chen asked three times and blurted out...

Liu Yifei was asked, and reluctantly explained: "I don't know, when I went down, he hung up the phone..."

"Then you don't know the content of the script, do you?"

“… Well. ”

Aunt Liu hesitated, then put on her coat, changed into a pair of boots, smeared her lipstick in the mirror by the way, pushed open the door, and said to her daughter: "I'll ask him..."

Liu Yifei frowned: "... It's almost ten o'clock, you can let him come..."

“… I'll ask about the situation, and you can memorize your lines! ”
