"Aunt Liu, I want to ask you for a favor."

After Qin Muchu contacted Zhang Manyu last night, he wanted the company to help find an actor to save the scene, but in this case, the suitability of the role may not be guaranteed.

The so-called character suitability mainly refers to the appearance condition.

Yes, Qin Muchu's choice of the role of "Li Muzhi's mother" basically only depends on appearance.

The request is just one sentence - Auntie must have been a peerless beauty when she looked young.

It sounds like a third-rate director's criteria for selecting actors, but in fact, it really holds true for this role.

Because this role does not have high requirements for acting skills, there are no two lines, it is infinitely close to a cameo, basically middle-aged and still in the entertainment industry, and there are actresses who are filming, and they can easily handle this role in terms of acting skills alone.

In this way, it seems that there are many actors to choose from.

But Qin Muchu is a detail monster.

In his thoughts, to be able to give birth to a daughter like Zeng Li, his mother must have been peerless when she was young, even if she is old now, she must be good-looking.

As a result, the range of actors available is greatly reduced.

Many middle-aged actresses were stunning contemporary beauties when they were young, but when they got older, some would deliberately gain weight to make themselves ordinary.

Because it is easier to receive "mother" and "grandma" dramas.

It's understandable when you think about it.

is in his fifties, and if he is still slender and looks online, it will actually be a little embarrassing to position himself in the circle - the older audience doesn't believe it, it looks too young; Play the young one, and you have to pretend to be tender, and people can directly find a young person to play.

Qin Muchu originally wanted to settle if he couldn't find it, after all, the time was very tight, and the actors had to join the group in the next two days.

But it just so happened that Liu Xiqian called and said that she and her mother were coming to the crew.

This opened his mind.

Isn't Liu Xiaoli perfectly in line with the standard?

As the most famous star mother in the entertainment industry, her way of getting out of the circle is also unique.

In Cao Cao's words: I originally thought that Liu Xiqian was beautiful enough, but I didn't expect someone to be more beautiful than her, which artist is this?

Answer: Liu Xiqian's mother.

That is, Liu Xiaoli did not debut, otherwise there may be media reports of "a star who debuted by stepping on her daughter's appearance".

"Huh? I'm acting, can't I? ”

When Liu Xiaoli heard that Qin Muchu asked her to help play a role, her smile turned into stunned.

And Zhang Yimou and Zhao Benshan were also very surprised, but looking at Liu Xiaoli, their surprised expressions disappeared again.

It's a good fit.

"Aunt Liu, this role is not difficult, there are not a few scenes in total, you must help, I really can't find anyone now." Qin Muchu persuaded.

Hearing Qin Muchu say this, Liu Xiaoli hesitated:

"Xiao Qin, Auntie wants to help, but I don't know how to act, I'm afraid I'll spoil your movie."

She really hasn't acted much, except for acting in a song and dance drama as a dancer when she was young, and then she made a cameo appearance in "The King of Kung Fu" that year.

Seeing Liu Xiaoli's tone loosening, Qin Muchu smiled:

"No, auntie, this role is too suitable for you, you will know it after reading the script in a while."

As he spoke, he beckoned to a staff member:

"Go, take Aunt Liu to the dressing room to set a look, and then send Li Muzhi's mother's script to Aunt Liu, the scene of the room on the second floor and the camera layout will be arranged, and we will shoot a try ...... later"

"Hey, Xiao Qin, I ......"

Liu Xiaoli wanted to say that she still had to think about it, but she was coaxed and pushed by Qin Muchu, and the ducks were sent to the dressing room as if they were put on the shelves.

"It's a trouble, the eldest sister has become a daughter." Zhao Benshan said with a smile.

He doesn't care which actor plays the role of Li Muzhi's mother, let alone what the other party's acting skills are.

He acted in this drama mainly to get in touch with Qin Muchu, and this purpose has been achieved.

The rest just don't delay the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, and the sooner the filming is completed, the better.

……

After reading the character script, Liu Xiaoli understood that Qin Muchu said that this role was suitable for her, and she was not lying to her.

A single mother with a daughter, this role setting is basically the same as her.

And there are really few scenes, the script is only two pages, and there are not a few lines, which also makes her less worried.

"Card, yes, Aunt Liu acted very well, just act like this later."

Qin Muchu stood up and praised.

It's not that Liu Xiaoli really acted well, but the newcomer is very encouraged, and she really can't find fault with her performance.

"Mom is the best." Liu Xiqian smiled and handed over the hot water cup.

Liu Xiaoli looked at the hot water handed over by Liu Xiqian, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

used to be filmed by her daughter, and then after the director shouted "card", she sent hot water to her daughter and praised "Sissi is the best".

I didn't expect the other day to happen.

I've grown up.

Liu Xiaoli sighed with emotion in her heart, took the water cup, and took a sip of the hot water handed by her daughter.

Warm, sweet, and small fruits......

Wait, little fruit!

Liu Xiaoli smashed her mouth carefully, and reacted that this was really sweet, not her psychological effect.

"Mom, strawberry-flavored, delicious, right?"

Liu Xiqian saw that her mother seemed to be reminiscing, and thought that she liked the fragrance of this flavor very much, and said with a smile.

Then the next second her mouth was choked:

"Liu Xiqian, how many times have I told you, you are not allowed to drink this drink, what are you fat!"

Liu Xiqian was so painful that tears were about to come out, and Liu's mother was really hard this time.

At this time, no matter who comes to persuade her mother, she is willing to soak the other party...... A glass of incense wafts.

filmed two more scenes, and when it was time for dinner, the crew returned to the guest house for dinner.

One of the advantages of being close to the place where you live on the set is that you can eat something that is just out of the pot instead of squatting in the corner to eat a boxed lunch.

Qin Muchu and Zhang Yimou had a table and discussed the script of "The Hawthorn Tree" while eating.

This is not half-hearted, the next few days were all filmed with Zhao Benshan's scenes, and they had already discussed these scenes last night, so there was nothing to talk about.

So when I have free time, I will discuss "The Hawthorn Tree", which has not yet finished the script.

"I want to make 'Hawthorn Tree' a little more flat, and focus on 'love'." Lao Mouzi said.

Perhaps influenced by "Love Letters", he had a different idea about "The Hawthorn Tree".

Originally, he wanted to arrange some "intense" conflict plots, but now he feels that these plots are a bit redundant and clichéd.

"And that bed scene was deleted?"

Since Lao Mouzi wants to be "flattened", Qin Muchu's first thought is to delete the bed scene.

After all, the most "flat" thing is the bed scene.

"If you delete it directly, then the emotional expression will not be enough." Lao Mouzi hesitated a little.

He has long been familiar with the plot of "Hawthorn Tree", so as soon as Qin Muchu said the bed scene, he knew that he was referring to the part where Jingqiu visited the third child in the hospital.

The two of them didn't sleep in that section, but they were naked and did everything except the last step.

It's not "flat".

But this scene is not a simple bed scene, the most touching part is here.

If it is deleted directly, the quality of the movie will be reduced by at least more than half.

"Then don't delete it."

Qin Muchu thought about it for a while, and also felt that it was very inappropriate to delete this bed scene.

It is equivalent to "Journey to the West" deleted the line "My crush ......" before Zixia's death.

"But if you don't delete it, it doesn't feel pure enough."

Lao Mouzi frowned and fell into a tangle.

Zhang Mo on the side couldn't listen anymore:

"Dad, what kind of thinking do you have, it's not pure to have a relationship in love? You are feudal backward. ”

Lao Mouzi was not annoyed when his daughter criticized him, shook his head and explained unhurriedly:

"If I shoot love at your age, then having a bed scene is nothing, but what era is "Hawthorn Tree"? At that time, these things were difficult to declare, let alone going to bed when falling in love, even holding hands was a terrible thing.

You must also pay attention to the background of the times when filming in the future, people in different eras have different ideas and concepts, these are all things to be taken into account, otherwise it will be four different when filmed. ”

In the end, he habitually taught his daughter again.

Zhang Mo is not a person who can't listen to words, and he immediately nodded yes when he felt that it made sense.

Lao Mouzi showed a smile of "the son can be taught", and then looked at Qin Muchu:

"Xiao Qin, you have to think of a way to keep the bed scene and be very pure."

Would you like to hear what you're talking about?

Qin Muchu's expression was as speechless as his mood.

What does it mean to keep the bed scene and be very pure?

Fat and skinny?

But Party A's father is Party A's father, and there are requirements that can only be met.

So he nodded helplessly:

"Think about it."

Lao Mouzi wanted to make some more specific requests, but suddenly the phone rang and interrupted him.

glanced at the caller ID, hesitated and said:

"I'll answer the phone."

Then he got up and walked out.

"It must be Zhang Weiping." Zhang Mo's tone was affirmative.

Qin Muchu asked suspiciously:

"Sister Mo, how do you know?"

Zhang Mo pursed his lips:

"Only Zhang Weiping's phone call can make my dad avoid answering it."

At that moment, another phone rang.

This time it was Qin Muchu's.

He took out his mobile phone, didn't rush to connect, but asked Zhang Mo:

"Sister Momo, do you want to guess whose phone number it is?"

Zhang Mo glanced at her, she couldn't pinch it.

Qin Muchu smiled, picked up his phone and left the table.

Zhang Mo sighed, what is the meaning of this meal.

looked around, picked up the food and joined the table of Zeng Li, Liu Xiqian and others on the other side.

I wanted to learn something from the two directors, but now I have to brag with my sisters.

……

"Weibo interview?"

Qin Muchu listened to Yang Mi's words and was a little surprised.

"What did Weibo interview me?"

"Stupid, it must be because of what you did last night."

Yang Mi's voice came from the phone.

Qin Muchu suddenly realized that Zhang Yimou exposed himself on Weibo last night to be a photographer for him.

Yang Mi only found out about this matter when she called him in the middle of the night, and woke Zhou Huimin up.

At that time, he also lamented that Lao Mouzi was talented, and he could make such a big melon for the first time when he played Weibo.

"They can't contact you, so they send you a message to the backstage of Weibo, wanting to do an exclusive interview with you and Director Zhang, and the appearance fee is ...... Six million for one person. ”

"How much?" Qin Muchu had some suspicions that he had misheard.

"Six million, each."

Yang Mi repeated.

"Got money to burn?"

Qin Muchu couldn't help but complain.

Six million per person, that's 12 million.

More than 10 million do an interview, isn't this a brain show?

Yang Mi couldn't believe it when she heard the news, and it wasn't until Yang Tianzhen analyzed her that she understood the meaning of Weibo's operation.

"Do you know how many users on Weibo increased last night due to the incident between you and Director Zhang?"

Qin Muchu was stunned for a moment, somewhat understood, and said uncertainly:

"A lot?"

"I don't know the exact number, but if you look at the news now, you will find that almost all entertainment media reports are your business, and every report must have a screenshot of a Weibo comment as evidence.

In Yang Tianzhen's words, even spending 100 million may not be able to achieve this kind of propaganda effect. ”

Yang Mi sighed with emotion:

"Do you still think it's more than 12 million? If you agree, it's another wave of scoop ......"

Qin Muchu understood, and even thought more far-reaching.

For internet companies, the number of users is everything.

As long as there are users, there is no shortage of people to invest, and now spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and these will not even be a drop in the bucket when they are listed in the future.

After thinking about it, he said:

"I'll go back and ask Director Zhang, and if he agrees, I'll be interviewed."

Six million is not a lot, if he is going to participate in a variety show, then he has to hesitate, but just to do an interview, this money is basically the same as picking it up for nothing.

Moreover, this can be regarded as a good way to sell Weibo and make a good fate.

Needless to say, the influence of Weibo in later generations, especially for celebrities, is almost the second battlefield.

If we do a good job in relations, we will be able to save a lot of effort in propaganda in the future.

If possible, he even wants to buy some shares in Weibo.

"Okay, you write down a number, it is the contact information of their person in charge, and you can contact them directly when the time comes......"

After talking about the Weibo interview, Yang Mi chatted with Qin Muchu again.

That's the main purpose of this call.

"You went home and slept last night?"

"Well, you're not here, people are alone in the empty bed, cold and afraid."

The corners of Qin Muchu's mouth twitched.

This girl really loves acting, if he didn't know the truth, he would have believed it.

"How did I hear that someone dragged his classmates to take a bath last night, then played games until one or two o'clock, and ate a late-night snack when he was hungry?"

After a moment of silence, Yang Mi's voice of gritting teeth came from the phone:

"Xiao Di!!"

The only person who could know so clearly what she did last night could be her little assistant.

Qin Muchu did not deny that this news was indeed told to him by Xiao Di.

This girl's original intention was not to report to him what Yang Mi had done, but hoped that Qin Muchu could persuade Yang Mi not to have so much hope for her, she just wanted to be an errand boy.

Even if I go to the barbecue stall in the middle of the night to buy supper for Sister Mi, I am very happy.

And then...... It's exposed.

"Go back and clean up that little traitor and let her know who she really is!" Yang Mi hated the authentic.

"What is a traitor, you are all my people, and it is not wrong for her to report to me."

"Wrong, it's you my man!"

Qin Muchu didn't pay attention to Yang Mi's big words, he was ashamed, he would know who was who as soon as he got into bed.

Skipping the topic, he added:

"Mr. Cui's role has been replaced by Aunt Liu."

"Which Liu ...... Sissi's mother? ”

Yang Mi reacted quickly.

"Well, Mr. Cui had a high fever last night and couldn't come...... It just so happened that Aunt Liu came today, and she also met the role conditions and went up temporarily. ”

Yang Mi nodded.

It is only this unexpected situation that Qin Muchu can replace the role of Teacher Cui.

Remembering something, she said again:

"Then I'll go see Mr. Cui after the play today."

"Well, that's fine."

Qin Muchu thought about it and agreed.

Knowing that Mr. Cui was sick, he wanted to go back and have a look today.

But Teacher Cui didn't let her, and Yang Mi went instead of herself.
