Chapter 827: This Is Enlightenment?
In order to facilitate his inspection back and forth between the two crews, Xu Jia arranged the preparation room of the "Wednesday" crew not far from "Oppenheimer".
When they arrived at their destination, the staff did not express the slightest dissatisfaction.
Obviously, whether in China or Hollywood, everyone knows that movies are indeed one level higher than TV series.
"I'm sorry, you know, Director Nolan's ideas are always wild, and if you don't firmly tie the reins to control his direction, you may not be able to make the movie what it will be, but Director Tim is different, your experience and strength are very reassuring." Xu Jia turned his head and sold Nolan, and blew Tim Burton by the way.
The latter's seniority in the film industry is far greater than Nolan's, Nolan was just a year old when Tim Burton made his first short film, and the most important thing is that both of them directed "Batman", and both were successful commercial works.
"Who said that Asians speak very stiffly, your eloquence seems to me no less than that of a stand-up comedian." Tim Burton laughed.
For a wealthy investor, as a director, he is still willing to give a little bit of thin face.
The two exchanged a few words and got to the point.
"How about the actor I recommended to you?" Xu Jia asked.
"I've made it all up, and at least from the interview, they're all a good fit." Tim Burton is also very vigorous in doing things, perhaps because of the fact that he is just filming a TV series, the standard has naturally dropped.
"If you think it's appropriate, I found a professional screenwriting team for the specific plot, of course, they are mainly based on cooperating with the director, and I hope that you can carry forward your gothic style and combine it with the TV series." Xu Jia said.
In his opinion, the success of "Wednesday" is due to two points, one is the appropriate casting, and the other is Tim Burton's directing skills, this TV series is the latter's first time directing a TV series, and Jenna Oult is also quite suitable for the role of Wednesday.
Tim Burton glanced at Xu Jia seriously, he thought that the other party was just planning to break into the American film and television industry with money, but now it seems that he is not as ignorant as he imagined.
Should I not say that the IP of "The Addams Family" is quite consistent with his own shooting style, you must know that he has not made TV series before, in addition to the generous remuneration given by Xu Jia, the attraction of this script to him is also a major factor.
From this point of view, most American investors can't do it, they only have the box office in their eyes, and they don't care about what kind of script the director will like.
"Of course, as long as I take this job, I will do my best, but as an older person, I have to warn you that with my energy I may not be able to support the production of a whole TV series, and it will take longer than a movie." Tim Burton said.
"That's not a problem, I'll have other directors for you, and you will choose the candidate for this deputy, how about it?" Xu Jia said magnificently.
As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem in his opinion, these two projects can be successful, and he can ask for as much money as he wants.
But Xu Jia also has her own requirements, saying: "Wednesday I hope to be able to be portrayed as a big heroine by contrast, do you know what I mean, this little girl may not seem to be related to the protagonist, but she is the heroine, and she can make most of the audience substitute and like the role." ”
"Of course, as you wish."
Tim Burton shows a veteran director who faces the flexible bottom line of investors, and the staff on the side have a learned expression.
……
The two projects are on the right track, and just when everyone thought that Xu Jia would stay in the United States and keep an eye on the progress of the two projects, Xu Jia had quietly returned to China.
What he can do is to take care of it in the early stage, and the rest is enough to be handed over to the two ghost directors, and it will only seem like a snake is added to his own interference, but it is a few domestic projects, Xu Jia heard that the progress is not particularly smooth.
So after returning to the capital, he went straight to Hainan without time to rest and rushed to the crew of "Disappearing Her".
It stands to reason that Chen Sicheng has filmed several commercial masterpieces, and he has long been perfect in crew scheduling and actor guidance, but he is stuck, and the reason is the heroine Liu Yifei.
In view of Liu Yifei's rumors, Chen Sicheng still gave time quite leniently, but the more eager the latter was to break through, the more trapped he became, so that when Xu Jia arrived at the crew, the atmosphere was called anxious.
"The old rule, a red envelope per person, I also brought coconuts and food, everyone rested." As soon as Xu Jia greeted, the stagnant atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
One by one, they cheered Long live Mr. Xu, and ran to get the coconut and feasted on it.
They are not in a hurry at all about the red envelope, and the moment they saw Mr. Xu's figure, they knew that their red envelope could not run.
However, Liu Yifei always kept her head down and didn't dare to look at Xu Jia, obviously her predicament in performance delayed the filming of the entire crew, and in her opinion, she couldn't stand the other party.
Syllable!
Xu Jia's big hand put on Liu Yifei's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk, go around the sea breeze, it's easier to have problems if you are always holding back, isn't it just that you have encountered difficulties in performance?" I'll give you ideas, a few of the roles I made cameo, netizens have praised them for a long time. ”
Puff~
Hearing Xu Jia's words, Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing, and then glanced at the other party: "Even your acting skills dare to brag about yourself, shameless." ”
"Hehe, people don't mean that being an actor is shameless." Xu Jia saw Liu Yifei laughing, he breathed a sigh of relief, took the other party's hand, completely ignored the peeking eyes of many staff, and said, "Let's go, take you out for a walk." ”
The two walked out of the crew in full view of everyone, and as soon as they left, the whole group exploded.
Rub, the rumors turned out to be true.
Xu Jia and Liu Yifei chatted while walking, facing the sea breeze, and the latter confided in his heart.
The relationship is because of the scene where she pretends to be a nurse, she has to play the changes of two roles, sometimes immersed in Chen Mai, sometimes immersed in Shen Man, what she wants to express in this scene is very complicated, but Liu Yifei rarely experiences such twists and turns emotionally, and it is difficult to break out.
Xu Jiamo rubbed his chin and thought about a lot of preaching, but it didn't work after thinking about it, so he could only come up with a bad idea: "If you can't find the feeling, you might as well substitute the role of He Fei into me and try again." ”
After all, no matter how scummy Zhu Yilong is, he may not be so touched by Liu Yifei, but looking at himself, it may be too much.
Then Xu Jia saw with his own eyes what a woman's tears are, the key is that the tears did not flow down, but kept rolling in the eyes.
Is this realization?
