Chongqing is a mountain city, under special geographical conditions, it is hot in summer and cold in winter, but autumn is still quite refreshing.

Especially there is a lot of food here, if you come to Chongqing in September or October, it is really comfortable.

Li Shengyao came to Chongqing at the end of September with the crew members of "La La Land", but October was busy, he participated in CCTV's National Day Gala, as well as the Golden Rooster Award Ceremony, Huabiao Award Ceremony, and then went to Hong Kong Island to participate in a National Day event.

In short, he is too busy, he is the top two directors in the mainland, and the Golden Rooster Award can't be pushed off like this.

He is also a deputy to the National People's Congress, and he will also participate in some important activities.

It was originally planned to start at the end of September, but it was delayed until mid-October.

After this busy period, Li Shengyao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then notified the crew members that he planned to start filming on October 17.

At 6 o'clock in the morning on October 17, before the sky was bright and the street lights had not been extinguished, Li Shengyao habitually opened his eyes.

He then washed up and exercised in the morning, and then planned to go back to the house to take a shower.

Before I got to the room, I saw Dapeng and Li Xue.

Li Xue is Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old today, married and has children, which is the age when the charm still exists and Cao Thief loves it.

Although she is not a star, she looks more than Li Lianhua.

Li Lianhua is still too thin, and her face is too sharp.

The big screen is more photogenic, but the real person lacks a bit of charm.

Li Xue is different, perfectly making up for Li Lianhua's shortcomings.

She is Li Lianhua's agent, and Li Shengyao has seen her for a long time.

Now celebrities are popular to open their own studios, be their own bosses, and be shareholders.

Li Lianhua opened a studio like that, and Li Xue was upgraded, not only as an agent, but also as a shareholder of the studio.

She followed Li Lianhua to the north and south, but she had come through the experience, and she looked very capable on weekdays.

However, at this time, Li Xue's face was full of anxiety.

Dapeng's face was also not very good, and when he saw Li Shengyao, he asked, "Master, didn't you bring your mobile phone?" ”

"Didn't bring it."

Dapeng continued: "Something happened, Li Lianhua got up in the morning, and originally wanted to practice a dance, but she twisted her foot. ”

Li Shengyao didn't reply yet, so Li Xue followed and said: "Director, I'm sorry, it's my sister who is too anxious and wants to act in this drama too much, so she practiced too hard and twisted her foot." ”

She looked at Li Shengyao worriedly, and her tone was very humble, "Director, we can guarantee that there will be no such thing in the future, and we will definitely be cautious in the future." ”

She was really worried that the movie hadn't started yet, and she ended up twisting her foot.

This contract stipulates that the crew has the right to terminate the contract if the actor causes problems.

She knew that many actresses outside were now salivating for the leading actress of "La La Land", so she hurriedly came over to apologize and express her attitude.

Li Shengyao frowned slightly, "Did you go to the hospital to see it?" How long can it be good. ”

The average broken foot can be good in half a month.

But if it's serious, such as hurting a muscle, or it's an inflammation of a bone, it's hard to say.

Lee has long announced that La La Land will participate in next year's Cannes Film Festival, and he still hopes that this idea can be realized.

"It's not very serious, it's okay in half a month."

Li Shengyao nodded, "Dapeng, you prepare something, and come with me to visit Li Lianhua in the hospital later." ”

Dapeng glanced at Li Xue dissatisfied, looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention here, and said in a low voice: "Master, we originally planned to start the machine today, what should we do?" ”

"Hold off for a day, and start tomorrow."

He explained: "Li Lianhua twisted her feet, the crew must be discussing this matter, starting the film today, the work efficiency is not high, it is better to start it tomorrow."

We're going to have a meeting tonight to discuss this and calm everyone's emotions so that everyone can focus on filmmaking. ”

"Then do we still use Li Lianhua as the leading actress?"

When Li Xue heard this, she subconsciously glared at Dapeng.

But Li Shengyao was here, and she didn't dare to refute angrily.

In recent years, Li Lianhua has mainly developed in beautiful countries, and is known as a party girl in Hollywood.

In other words, as long as there is a drinking party, it will rush over.

Of course, it's not because Li Lianhua loves to drink and wants to compete with other people, but to sell herself to the producers.

It can be said that Li Lianhua has watched the scenery in recent years, claiming to be in Hollywood, but in fact, only she knows the suffering behind it.

This time, "La La Land" invited Li Lianhua, which can be said to be the best opportunity in her life, even more important than "The Wind".

"The Wind" made Li Lianhua get the Golden Horse Movie, and since then she has become a first-line actress, and the four major double ices are bundled together for marketing.

But now the movie pattern has obviously changed, Xu Jinglei has long been out of business, Zhou Xun and Zhao Yanzi have "Painted Skin 12" to support, Zhang Ziyi has "The Grandmaster", and Zhu Bingbing has become a blanket star, and Li Lianhua wants to go through the mode of export to import.

It's a pity that it didn't break out in Hollywood.

If she succeeds in "La La Land", she will strive for one at the box office.

That's still the top movie actress, if the award box office is not good, it will obviously fall out of the echelon.

"La La Land" is really important to Li Lianhua.

Dapeng ignored Li Xue's gaze, and then said: "Master, Li Lianhua has been on his feet for half a month, and it will take time to recover later, when will we be able to officially film, can we make "La La Land" before Cannes?" ”

Lee Shengyao actually has a lot of things to do next, except for not being able to go to work during the Lunar New Year.

In January next year, he will also take the crew of "Dalian by the Sea" to the Berlin Film Festival.

There may be some other trivia as well.

It's fair to say that he's tight on time.

If it takes a month for Li Lianhua to recover from her injury, it will be really difficult for the crew.

The most important role in "La La Land" is still the heroine, and if there is no heroine, then they can make very few scenes.

"And this time Li Lianhua was injured and taught us a lesson."

Dapeng has always admired Li Shengyao, but this time he felt that Li Shengyao was not doing very well.

The actresses chosen were too old.

Li Lianhua has to practice singing, dancing, and pondering the script.

Obviously, I was very tired and my body couldn't hold it anymore.

Dapeng felt that when he chose an actress, he should choose a young one under the age of thirty.

He was rarely able to find Lee Shengyao's mistakes.

This time, he was quite excited to find out about Li Shengyao's selection problem.

"Master, the male and female protagonists of "La La Land" have to train for a long time, and they are very demanding in all aspects, and we should take into account the physical fitness of the actors when we first selected them."

When the words fell, Dapeng looked at Li Shengyao carefully, he wanted Li Shengyao to praise him, but he was also worried that Li Shengyao would be angry, after all, he said that he was not careful in choosing people in the first place.

Hearing this, Li Shengyao nodded, "I didn't consider this at the beginning, and I will consider this factor in the future." ”

Dapeng was affirmed by Li Shengyao and was very excited, "Yan Yueming didn't exercise much before, but this time he learned to sing, dance, and play the piano, which is very large, and we have to reduce the burden on him." ”

"Yes, talk to him, let him not be pressured, and adjust the training volume appropriately."

Dapeng nodded, and then said, "Master, then do you think we still want Li Lianhua?"

"Yes, in the early stage, we will shoot Yueming's personal drama first, and when Li Lianhua comes back, we will shoot the male and female protagonists' scenes, and we will make a new shooting schedule, and it is easier to give priority to shooting."

When Li Xue heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Li Shengyao was very righteous, a pair of beautiful eyes couldn't help but turn to Li Shengyao, her right foot moved slightly, and her center of gravity moved closer to Li Shengyao.

Dapeng didn't see Li Xue's small movements.

Just pointed out the mistakes to Li Shengyao and made suggestions, which was recognized by Li Shengyao, which made him very excited and felt that he had improved a lot, he continued: "Master, our male and female lead actors are not dance majors, and now Li Lianhua is injured, is it that the dance director is too demanding and the technical movements are too difficult, should we reduce the intensity?"

"No, I've seen those dances designed by Mandy Moore, it's not difficult, it's very suitable, and it doesn't need to be adjusted."

Mandy Moore has designed all the dances that need to be used in the plot scenes.

Lee Shengyao has discussed with her many times, and these dances are all choreographed in line with the plot.

Now it's not about reducing the difficulty, it's about re-choreographing the dance, where is the time?

When Dapeng heard this, he nodded, "Then I'll prepare." ”

……

Li Shengyao and Dapeng went to visit Li Lianhua in the hospital, said some words of encouragement, and said that the crew would wait for her and let her recuperate with peace of mind before leaving.

Because he had to adjust the shooting schedule, Li Shengyao knew that he would be busy, so he did not rest, and when he returned to the hotel from the hospital, he called the assistant directors over and asked them to rearrange the shooting schedule.

Just when he rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a big move.

An unexpected guest came.

I saw a middle-aged uncle with long hair, all his hair combed back, tied in a low ponytail, like a rock circle, sitting on a chair in the conference room.

This middle-aged man has a wide and full forehead, a ruddy complexion, and he actually looks quite generous.

It's just that his eyes are a little gloomy, he doesn't look at people, he looks elsewhere, and it always looks like he is brewing some kind of conspiracy.

This uncle's name is Wang Lin, he is a well-known qigong master, and he is still a fellow countryman with Li Shengyao, both of whom are from Jiangxi Province.

It is said that this person can do spells, qigong, and is good friends with Ma's father and many stars in the entertainment industry.

However, Li Shengyao knows that this guy is an impostor, he doesn't know qigong, but he can do magic.

Wang Lin knows many celebrities in the entertainment industry.

It's just that he has never intersected with Li Shengyao, but he didn't expect this guy to come to the door.

"Master Wang?"

Li Shengyao walked into the conference room, frowned, and looked over puzzled.

He didn't know what this man had done, but he remembered that Wang Lin later escaped from the mainland and died a tragic death on Hong Kong Island.

Wang Lin saw Li Shengyao frowning, and was a little annoyed in his heart.

He is the person that Ma's father has to hold, Li Shengyao didn't care, not only did he not show a warm attitude, but he could even be said to be very cold, as if it was a shame to know him.

"Director Li, I have been looking up for a long time, I have seen you on the TV for a long time, and I feel that your face is really good across the screen, you are a rare Ninety-Five Supreme Appearance in the world, and you will definitely be able to dominate your field."

Ninety-five supreme ...... Is the name so secondary?

Li Shengyao was too lazy to answer, he was not Ma's father, nor Zhao Yanzi, nor was he a Hong Kong Island star who raised little ghosts and begged God and Buddha everywhere.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Director Li, we are fellow countrymen, I have been fascinated by you for a long time, and it is my honor to meet you this time."

Wang Lin said good things, but this guy had too much meat on his face, and although he was smiling and talking, he gave people a feeling of smiling and not smiling.

Li Shengyao frowned again, "What the hell is the matter with you?" ”

The impatience in his eyes, and the look of disgust in his tone, were very palpable.

Wang Lin was ashamed in his heart, and if he thought about it carefully, he hadn't offended Li Shengyao.

Why does this guy have such an attitude?

If it was usual, he would have gotten up and left.

However, thinking of his friend's trust, he held back his anger, and then said: "Director Li, I passed through Chongqing by accident this time, passing by the hotel where your crew lives, I saw that above the hotel, there are layers of yin qi, I think this is not very good for your crew."

Thinking that we are fellow countrymen, I came over to remind you that I think you should be on some precautions. ”

"Yin Qi?"

Neurotic, to fool a young man of the new era like this.

And Daddy Ma, how can a person like Zhao Yanzi listen to this guy fooling people?

"That's right, Director Li, there is a heavy backlog of yin qi above your hotel, which is invisible to ordinary people, only people like me, who have opened their natural discerning eyes, can see it.

Judging from the shape of this yin qi convergence, this yin qi has affected your crew.

Tell me, has the crew encountered anything bad recently. ”

Li Bingbing was injured and did not deliberately hide it, now that the news has broken out, as long as you pay attention to the entertainment news, you will definitely be able to see it.

Li Shengyao was a little speechless, he didn't bother to respond to this pseudo-master's words, he stood up, "Master Wang, I don't believe this, if there is nothing else, then I'll go first." ”

Wang Lin didn't expect that there was no way to fool Li Shengyao, knowing that Li Shengyao had never seen himself magic...... No, it's a spell.

He immediately said: "Director Li, don't you believe my words, I can perform a small spell for you on a random basis."

Li Shengyao rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Master, I don't believe this, you don't have to waste time with me, go to other places, I still have something to do." ”

Seeing this, Wang Lin hurriedly and quickly stated his purpose, "Director Li, this new movie of yours is a good movie, I have seen it with my future eyes and have a chance to win an award."

However, Li Lianhua of your crew, the eight characters do not match the crew.

I suggest that you change Li Lianhua and change it to an actress whose aura matches the crew, I have a few candidates here, do you want to listen to it. ”

"You're insane."

Li Shengyao waved his hand, dropped a word, and left in a hurry.

Not long after, Dapeng walked over, "Master, the security guard has driven Wang Lin away." ”

"Got it, don't mention him, bad luck."

"Master, I think the crew of "La La Land" is quite upset, do you want to invite a powerful mage to do it?"

"No, I don't believe this, let's just film well."
