37. Finalize the protagonist
The preparations are in full swing, the script has been sent, and it is said that everyone is in place and ready to start filming, but it is still difficult to finalize the protagonist candidate, how to start filming?
For a while, Hu Si didn't go to Sai Yinhua, he was accompanied by Zhao Jinju! But Sai Yinhua couldn't sit still, she knew that this was a critical moment, could she play the leading role, these few days are a critical moment, the decisive factor is people, the key person is Hu Si, why didn't she come, did it change? Gotta check it out. She took the initiative to find the door.
Sai Yinhua is the main person of the crew, and the people in the crew have heard of and seen the characters. When she came to the guest house, she was told that the crew leader was in a meeting, and she said, "It's just right, I'm looking for a leader!" ”
There was no security guard, no one stopped her, and Sai Yinhua went directly into the director's office. The crew is led by four people: director Hu Si, assistant director Wu Tianmin and another assistant director Liu Yixian, plus producer Huang Minghe. The producer is an official figure, not the kind that pays for the film himself. If you don't use your words, the director is the core character. It's also a matter of discussing and deciding who will be the leading actor, so the director's rights are prominent. But producers have the right to vote for and against, and sometimes a single vote can make a difference.
At present, Hu Si advocates that Zhao Jinju star, which is his secret guarantee with Zhao Jinju, and now they are a secret couple, of course he is inclined to Zhao Jinju. Deputy director Wu Tianmin insisted on using Sai Yinhua for good reasons: first, this was the original decision, everyone agreed, and there was no problem, so why should she be replaced; Second, Zhao Jinju is a newcomer and has never been involved in the entertainment industry, so is it too risky to take the lead all of a sudden? We must be responsible for the crew, the country, and the people! The hat is quite big. However, the deputy director Liu Yixian still agreed with his point of view, he was not frightened by the big hat, he had no new discoveries, and could only stick to the original view.
In this way, it becomes one to two, one to two is less, but Hu Si is the leader, and the weight is heavy! The producer was the key figure at this time, and if he had agreed with Hu Si's opinion, it would have become two to two. But people are the leader, two to two are the same in quantity, but the quality is different, the director and producer are the decision-making figures, and the assistant director's opinions can only be regarded as reference opinions and reserved opinions. If Huang Minghe opposes Hu Si's views, can he break away from the masses and insist on going his own way? Do you say that the weight of this producer Huang Minghe's vote is not important? Huang Minghe is a person who is a few years older than the three of them and has some experience, he knows his weight, and it is not easy to express his position, but he said: "I think, don't be busy making decisions about this matter, do you let them try the mirror first, I haven't seen the newcomer you mentioned!" I can't jump to conclusions! Director Hu, and two deputy directors, do you think this is good? ”
When Huang Producer's words were finished, the three of them were also dumbfounded, insisting that their opinions would not work for the time being, whether the horse or the mule pulled it out and slipped, and they had to let them try the mirror.
At this moment, Sai Yinhua entered the door, and she heard a little bit of the last words, wasn't it an audition? I'm not afraid, the starring role has never acted, but I've seen the starring role, and I won't lose to that girl (I think Zhao Jinju is a student, just a little girl)! However, she wanted to talk to Hu Si for a few words, and I heard that she was only looking for Hu Si, and the other three were gone.
"Ace, am I treating you badly?" Sai Yinhua said immediately after the door closed: "All along, I haven't proposed the starring role, I believe you, I'm like that to you, don't you believe you?" ”
"Yes, I know!" Hu Si hurriedly expressed his position.
"What do you know? Why haven't you been seen for a while? Sai Yinhua said.
"I've been busy these days! The filming is almost starting, and the work is really busy! "Hu Si said nonsense, are you busy? Too busy to eat, too busy to sleep?
"Okay, I believe you, can you come to my house for dinner tonight?" Sai Yinhua sent a signal, not to eat, but to that, to have a showdown with him.
Hu Si is not stupid, he decided not to go, and he can't go! There's a reason! So he said, "Not tonight, I have a personal matter, and someone from my hometown is here." I have to go, it's an appointment, don't get me wrong! The conversation has changed: "Ah Hua, I can't decide the choice of the protagonist alone, everyone's opinion is to let you try the camera and then decide, I don't think you will have any problems." This key sentence worked, and it also spoke to Sai Yinhua's heart, she believed in her own strength, so she left happily.
In the evening, Hu Si returned to the newly built home, and his heart was worried, audition? What are the results of the auditions? What if I can't get through? We have to come up with a way, or both parties will not be able to explain! And there was no one to consult. Today is Friday, Zhao Jinju will come back tomorrow night, even if Zhao Jinju is here, she can't discuss with her, what can she do to make herself choose? In the absence of a way, Zhao Jinju can be asked to block Wu Tianmin's mouth. This is just Hu Si's momentary thought, how can he let his own woman gag other people's mouths, does Wu Tianmin dare to do it? He won't do it himself!
I just thought about it, but I didn't come up with a good solution for one night.
On Saturday night, Hu Si went home early. Unlike usual, he went to the bus station to pick up Zhao Jinju today. Zhao Jinju felt strange, why is it so good today, and what the hell is going on? Can't the gluttonous cat wait? It's true, I've been married for a few months, and I've seen a woman so anxious! No matter how she thinks about it, Zhao Jinju is still very happy. Does this mean that he cares about her? Isn't it just going to bed and doing that, she'll satisfy him.
The two did not go home directly, but chose a secluded small restaurant for dinner, ordered a few dishes, all of which were home-cooked dishes that the two of them liked to eat.
"Aju, we're about to start the film, I don't know how you read the script?" Hu Si started with the script.
"Ah, I saw it, I've watched it a few times!" This still needs to be asked, she read the script in one breath when she got it. Later, she watched it when she had time, but she watched it secretly, and she didn't tell Ma Lan in the room. When Ma Lan found out, she also excused herself. Ma Lan is not stupid, he found that she didn't sleep in the dormitory every Saturday and Sunday, so he asked her, and she also prevaricated at first, but later, she really couldn't prevaricate, so she told Ma Lan.
She didn't say she was raped, she just said she was married. "Get married! Who are you married? "Ma Lan thought that she was married to Ai Qing, because she was in love with Ai Qing Ma Lan knew." Isn't it Ai Qing? ”
How to answer? Zhao Jinju did not answer. It's just a "um", the meaning of "um", here it is to affirm Ma Lan's question. Zhao Jinju was silent, did not explain, and Ma Lan did not ask anymore, knowing that it was pointless to ask again. Marriage is not a joke, it is a woman's lifelong event, but you can't say it, it's strange if you don't get expelled from school! Students are not allowed to fall in love, and you dare to even get married, which is really audacious, really daring! But Ma Lan still agreed to Zhao Jinju's request and kept it secret for her. Ma Lan found that reading the script, thinking that it was the needs of a married woman, to relieve her worries and boredom, or to seek happiness and excitement (Ma Lan didn't understand it), so she didn't pay attention to her anymore.
How to speak? She has watched it a few times, and she must be very familiar with the characters in the play, so let's start with the characters.
"Do you think you're okay as the protagonist?" How could Hu Si ask such a question.
"Why not?" It's troublesome, why can't it? You'll have to explain it to me.
"I mean, the heroine spans two generations, you can play it when you're young, I'm afraid it's not suitable to play the old!" This is Huss's explanation.
"I think I can, just put on makeup!" Zhao Jinju insisted on her position.
"Baby, you are so beautiful, how can you let your beautiful image be damaged!" This "baby" is really numb, it is beyond reproach to praise his wife for being beautiful every day, the world between husband and wife, you can say anything, he doesn't say it, and suddenly:
"Ah, there it is, let's go, go back to sleep!" What does it mean when Hu Si says "yes"? , but he said "go back to sleep", and she understood.
So they both returned home and did what they had to do.
On Monday, the crew leaders held another meeting, and Director Hu talked about his idea of "having", and explained that the heroines in the play can be two people, he said: "The heroine when I was young was played by Zhao Jinju, and she was outstanding in appearance (he didn't say beautiful), which will definitely attract the audience to continue to look down." When the hostess is older, she is replaced with a silver flower. Sai Yinhua is amazingly good-looking (is it amazing?). Suitable for playing a middle-aged woman, is a real hostess tea seller. His daughter is played by Zhao Jinju, so that the audience can feast their eyes again. Although her daughter is the second protagonist, she is an actress, and she has already played the protagonist, which means that she is both the protagonist and the second character. And Sai Yinhua is a little shorter and a little richer, and her appearance is not so amazing, and letting her play the middle-aged person is the protagonist, I believe she will have no opinion. In this way, the two of them are arranged appropriately and reasonably, what do you think? ”
Hu Si means to let the audience see more beauties, which is beyond reproach, everyone has a love for beauty, what he said has a certain truth, and it also caters to the tastes of some audiences. However, cinema is art, it is high art! Let people absorb more nutrients, improve their thinking, and establish a correct outlook on life and world view while appreciating art...
Workers, peasants, soldiers, or intellectuals, after work, spend money to buy a ticket, go to the cinema to see a movie, not necessarily to get an education, taste art, see beautiful women, and live a good time? Therefore, Huss's point of view is acceptable. The director's intention is clear, and the assistant director is silent, and if he doesn't speak, he agrees. The producer has nothing to say, he also hopes that the filming will be successful, and everyone will agree on it, and it will be easy to do.
