Chapter 36: If You Change It, You Change It (2/4)
"Gong Li? Will she take it? ”
“… I'll give her a call and ask her to come over and talk in person! ”
These words made a few people break their defenses a little...
You make a phone call and she's coming?
She's Gong Lie!
Who are you?
Ahmou?
Several people had different expressions, and Zhang Guoli was stunned for a while: "You make a call..."
Shen Xudong had already taken out his mobile phone and dialed the phone, and said very enthusiastically that Director Feng Xiaogang has a good script in his hand, and there is a lack of a heroine who can act...
Gong Li was immediately interested: "Is the script very good?" ”
Shen Xudong said: "Very good, the lineup is also very strong, Uncle Ge plays the second male lead..."
"I'll be right here... Why don't you pick me up? ”
"Okay, I'm driving!"
Hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong said, "Sister Gong Li asked me to pick her up... Her hotel is not very far from this, if there is no traffic jam, it is up to an hour to go back and forth..."
Feng Xiaogang swallowed his saliva: "... Okay, okay, you go pick it up..."
Xu Fan also said: "... Drive slower..."
"Don't worry, I'm an old driver!"
Shen Xudong walked out of the box with a confident face...
Zhang Guoli glanced at Feng Xiaogang, and it just so happened that the latter was also looking at him, and the two old men thought of a certain possibility at the same time, but gave up again...
Impossible, how could Gong Li have a leg with Shen Xudong?
This kind of thinking is too dirty.
Shen Xudong's face was full of sunshine, and he only wanted to engage in his career...
Well, it must be so!
As for Xu Fan and Deng Jie, they have already begun to congratulate Feng Xiaogang...
Shooting Gong Li means that Feng Xiaogang has reached a higher level...
After all, she is the first female star in the mainland...
What is a great director?
I was able to shoot a big star...
So Shen Xudong is also a big director?
Maybe not, after all, applauding and making movies are two concepts, even if there is a video record, it can't be considered a movie, let alone not!
……
After listening to the general plot of "No Thieves in the World", Gong Li didn't want to take it a little...
"What's the problem?"
"It's a purely commercial film, right?"
"What's wrong with commercial films? Now that the film is marketized, what is marketization? Box office is king! Commercial films are the mainstream! ”
“… Is it mainstream? No wonder "Hero" can get 250 million box office! ”
"So, the little poet is also going to make a blockbuster..."
"Is "No Thieves in the World" a blockbuster?"
"No, although the starring lineup is all big stars, the scene is not big enough..."
Gong Li nodded, and then asked, "... How did you think I could act? ”
Shen Xudong said as a matter of course: "Of course I have to think about you... As soon as I get in touch with the script now, my first thought is whether you can act, and then consider whether it is suitable according to your coffee position..."The director of "No Thieves in the World" is Feng Xiaogang, and the starring lineup Andy Lau + Ge You, whether it is the behind-the-scenes lineup or the main creative actors, you will not lose your share..."
Gong Li smiled: "It's really comprehensive, I feel like you know more than my agent!" ”
"The division of labor is different, your agent is in charge of your business, and I don't care about your career..."
"And what do you care about?"
“… You come here! ”
Gong Li glanced at him, but still leaned his head over, and Shen Xudong whispered something that couldn't be written...
When it comes to poses, role-playing, and things like that...
“… Think beautifully! Who do you think of me? ”
"Try it, it's fun!"
“… Who have you tried it with? ”
"Nope..."
"Then how dare you say such a thing to me?"
Shen Xudong didn't speak, just cared, Gong Li regretted a little, felt that what he said was a bit heavy, and was about to say something, Shen Xudong stopped, then unbuckled his seat belt, and motioned for her to get out of the car, Gong Li didn't know why, and followed down...
"Come to the back!"
“… Do what? ”
"Just come!"
What can be done?
Shen Xudong directly proved his courage with his actions...
……
About an hour and a half, Shen Xudong led Gong Li to the box...
The conversation was very pleasant, Liu Ruoying and Gong Li, fools know who to choose!
What? Is Gongli too expensive?
How expensive can it be?
Can't you attract investment?
What international jokes?
Let's put it this way, when a script is completed and the intention is to shoot, the employer depends on the director's coffee position and the actor's cast to give money.
For example, "There Are No Thieves in the World", Andy Lau + Ge You, 30 million investment is proper.
If you add Gong Li, then 50 million or even 60 million is possible!
It's not that Gong Li's salary is worth 20 million or 30 million, but the joint effect of personal value.
The three leading actors are all first-line stars, and investors are willing to give money.
Feng Xiaogang even called Huang Zhongjun on the spot and told him that the heroine had been replaced by Gong Li...
Of course, Huang Zhongjun has no opinion - investing in such a big production can show Huayi's ambition and strength!
The whole thing, the only people who have opinions are probably Liu Ruoying and Chen Guofu...
But... So what?
It's changed, it's changed, what's wrong, I have to explain it to you?
Feng Xiaogang was so happy that he even took the initiative to propose that the heroine of "Party A and Party B 2" also let Gong Li star...
Gong Li was also very happy: "As long as the script is good!" ”
"The script was written by Xudong!"
Gong Li hurriedly looked at Shen Xudong, who frowned: "... It's not suitable, the heroine of that play has too few scenes, and it's not very brilliant, Sister Gong Li is a big star, acting in that play is a bit overkill..."
Big stars take over the play, and there are requirements for character design and drama.
"Party A and Party B 2", also known as "Good Dream Day Trip", the whole drama revolves around the male perspective, if Gong Li comes to act, it will be too wasteful...
Gong Li didn't care: "You talk about the script!" ”
Shen Xudong probably said something, Gong Li listened to it, and asked him: "This is also about love?" ”
“… Sort of! ”
"How could you write such a script at such a young age?"
"The market needs it..."
Zhang Guoli interjected: "What does the market need? ”
Shen Xudong explained: "Joining the WTO means that the market will be opened soon, what do we use to compete with Hollywood? Special effects, high-concept blockbusters, definitely can't fight, you can only find another way, costume blockbusters or local comedies... Romance movies are a kind of thing that is permissible, and it is also the theme point of force..."
Zhang Guoli sighed: "... Are you a student of Chinese opera, do you think about these things every day? ”
"It's not every day, it's just that I thought about it..."
“… I'll act in this movie too, and I don't have a good script to find me anyway... Just support my junior brother! ”
The younger brother is the younger brother, why do you say small?
Feng Xiaogang was overjoyed - what this means is that he does not charge money for a cameo...
Hurriedly complimented: "You are contributing to Chinese films!" ”
“… No, I just love the script..."
Shen Xudong thought of the "Perfect Stranger" mentioned earlier, and proposed: "By the way, Director Feng, I think Sister Gong Li is quite suitable for the heroine of "Mobile Phone 2"..."
"That's what you just said?"
"Hmm..."
Feng Xiaogang pondered for a moment, it is indeed suitable...
Gong Li asked: "Mobile Phone 2"? ”
“… Oh, that's it, I watched "Mobile Phone" and thought of a book... The concept is a game where everyone takes out their phones at a dinner party, receives a text message or a phone call, and it has to be made public..."
