The movie "Operation Mekong", which was launched by Bona Film in 2016, received a lot of praise as soon as it was broadcast.

That year, the box office ranked sixth in the mainland film box office, with a total of 1.182 billion yuan, and 1.1 million people in Maoyan scored a high score of 9.3.

It's not a boutique, Xu Ning doesn't shoot.

Over the years, he has tried martial arts films, comedy films, war films, science fiction films and youth campus films, but he has never made such a modern anti-terrorism movie.

Shooting this kind of theme, with real knives and guns, has a stronger visual impact than martial arts films and war films.

Because the times are relatively recent,

The audience's sense of substitution is stronger.

Filming this kind of theme, Xu Ning thought of a person, that is, Lin Chaoxian, who later filmed "Operation Mekong" and "Operation Red Sea".

He is Xu Ke's apprentice.

That night, Xu Ning finished writing the script of "Operation Mekong", came to the window and stretched: "Yin Yin, call Xu Ke." ”

Liu Yinyin, who was standing aside and waiting for him to get off work, nodded and said, "Okay boss." ”

After a few seconds, the call was connected.

"Okay boss."

Before Xu Ning answered the phone, he heard the voice of Xu Lao Wei inside, and he seemed to be very happy.

Some time ago, his "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" won 396 million box office, which is a good result.

Old Monster Xu was in a good mood.

At this moment, after receiving a call from Mr. Xu, he couldn't even take care of eating, so he picked up the phone and ran to the balcony.

"Mr. Xu, good evening!"

"Hello, what, eating?" Xu Ning heard the sound of dishes and chopsticks next to him, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

Xu Ke shook his head again and again: "Where and where, it doesn't matter if you eat, Mr. Xu's call must not be missed." ”

"What? Something good? ”

"It's not good, I'm going to take it too."

"Okay, let me tell you something serious, has that apprentice of yours, Lin Chaoxian, been busy lately?"

Xu Ke's mind was racing rapidly, and he thought of a possibility, and immediately said: "Not busy, he has been idle recently." ”

"Very good, I have a few films to make, is he free to come over and be an executive director for me?"

There is no problem with a coffee position like Xu Ning saying this kind of thing, and even Lin Chaoxian feels that he is not qualified enough.

And when Xu Ke heard this, he smiled happily, and it would be no harm for his apprentice to be appreciated by Xu Ning.

"Director Xu, this kind of good thing, even if he is on the set now, I will take him out, and I will tell him immediately."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Xu Ning finished talking about business, and he didn't want to disturb him eating, so he was about to hang up: "When you come to the capital, remember to find me for dinner." ”

Xu Ke: "Okay, Mr. Xu." ”

Back to the room.

Xu Ke's face was full of spring wind, and he felt that his career was about to come to the second spring, and his family could see the difference between before and after his phone call.

"You eat first, and I'll make a call."

In less than an hour, Lin Chaoxian rolled out of the hotel and hurried to Xu Ke's house, and the two sat on the sofa and talked for several hours.

Lin Chaoxian was so excited about being Xu Ning's executive director that he couldn't wait to fly to the capital immediately.

The next morning.

As soon as Xu Ning woke up, he saw the WeChat message from Xu Ke, and after he replied a few words, he began to get up and wash, and came to the company to continue to work on the script.

……

A few days later.

Huairou Film and Television Base.

A riotous BJ jeep stopped at the gate of the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces, and a young handsome boy wearing sunglasses got out of the car, and the co-pilot looked like a beautiful young woman at first glance, and two young girls came down in the back row.

Led by a young girl, the boy and the beautiful young woman walked forward together, and the destination was a set.

"Aunt Liu, you are dressed today, you really look like a beautiful young woman who has just been married." Xu Ning whispered.

Under Aunt Liu's seemingly frosty beauty, her long eyelashes trembled slowly, and her aunt-colored red lips opened and closed slightly: "No big or small, no matter the occasion." ”

After teasing, I felt very happy.

Xu Ning sped up to the two female assistants, took a bottle of water from Zhang Xuan's hand and drank it, and then said to Yin Yin: "Buy Aunt Liu a cappuccino!" She was tired last night. ”

The two female assistants did not suspect him, and Liu Yinyin, with her slender legs, went to a Starbucks to buy a drink.

Aunt Liu held a cup in one hand and a cup in the other, a hat on her head, sunglasses on her eyes, and her snow-white skin and red lips made many tourists and group performers turn back.

And soon,

Someone recognized Xu Ning.

"Wocao, this is Xu Ning!"

"Come on, I've caught Xu Ning, don't let him run."

“……”

Xu Ning: "?? What's that? ”

Soon.

He was surrounded by people, both men and women, fortunately, everyone was more restrained, otherwise they wouldn't be able to visit Liu Yifei's class today.

"Who is that angry young woman? Why haven't I seen it before? ”

"I don't know, it can't be Xu Ning's woman, right?"

"How is it possible, Xu Ning wants to find a young and cute woman like her assistant, how can she find a young woman in her thirties."

Listening to the conversation between the two young people, a male tourist in his forties behind him said with a smile: "Young man, you don't understand, who understands the taste of a delicate young woman......

"A group of men, that aunt is Liu Yifei's mother, what are you talking nonsense?" A female fan said dissatisfiedly.

On the set of "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince" not far away, Liu Yifei and Brother Hu also saw this scene.

Brother Hu: "It's Mr. Xu who is here." ”

Sissi: "Oh yes? I'll take a look. ”

She lifted her skirt and ran towards the crowd, and Brother Hu also followed behind, only to find that it was indeed Xu Ning when she got closer.

"Hey, my mom is here too." Liu Yifei said excitedly, she jumped up and shouted, "Mom, Brother Ning, I'm here." ”

At this time, the crowd automatically moved out of the way, and Xu Ning and the four of them were able to come out.

Liu Yifei happily hugged Xu Ning, and then hugged Liu Xiaoli's arm while talking and laughing.

Xu Ning turned around and said goodbye to everyone.

Then a group of people entered the set.

When Zhang Dabeard saw Xu Ning coming, he quickly got up and gave way to him: "Mr. Xu, you sit." ”

"How's the shot?" Xu Ning asked.

On the other side, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli didn't know what they were talking about, and he didn't bother to ask.

I came today to satisfy Aunt Liu, and when I was galloping at her house last night, Aunt Liu said that she would come to visit the class today, and Xu Ning would bring her over.

When Zhang Dabeard heard Xu Ning's question, he patted his chest and said, "Haha, everything is fine, and you are shooting according to your requirements, Mr. Xu." ”

After listening to the bearded man's words, Xu Ning chatted with Brother Hu for a few more words, and then sat aside to watch them film.

Aunt Liu, who was sitting next to him, said softly: "Don't move, there are a lot of people here, and I'll talk about what I want to do at night." ”

"Can you do anything at night?"

"Well, anything?"

"Commander Lightpole?"

"Huh?" Aunt Liu was stunned for a while: "That's not good, I said that I can't have children, don't you look at how old I am." ”

"Haha, age is not a problem, mentality is." Xu Ning flickered, "People still have children at the age of 60, how old are you." ”

"Phew, I have a child in China at my age, and I have to be on the news the next day, and the headlines are all ready, just call [Yifei's mother should be old and strong, and add another son. Aunt Liu couldn't help but laugh.

His interest was aroused, and he took advantage of the enthusiasm to continue: "I have seven or eight super villas in the United States, and it will be really bad when the time comes...... You just go and live. ”

"Are you really?" Aunt Liu clenched her fists.

"If you want to be true, it's true, if you don't want to be true, it's not true, this kind of thing is very simple, and I can't afford it."

Not sure why.

Liu Xiaoli was silent, and not long after, she put on sunglasses and sat in the sun to bask in the sun, but the careful Xu Ning found that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

More than an hour later.

Xu Ning went back with Aunt Liu, and Qian Qian said that she would also go home tonight, and Aunt Liu was going to go grocery shopping.

Xu Ning sent Aunt Liu to the vegetable market near her home, returned to the company, and continued to write the script that was almost completed.

Two days later.

The script of "Operation Mekong" was sent to the General Administration, and it was reviewed in less than three days, which is invincible.

Some directors in the Beijing circle have sour teeth: "Grass, why is Xu Ning so awesome?" ”

……

Then came the casting stage of this show.

The actor is the leader of the special operations group, who to choose? He hesitated between Zhang Hanyu and Duan Yihong.

In the end, Zhang Hanyu was chosen.

After all, Duan Yihong's face is too upright, it's okay to play a special soldier, it's not appropriate to play an anti-drug policeman, but he can make a cameo appearance in the battle of the special squad.

In addition, it is the male number two.

In the play, he is an intelligence agent lurking in the Golden Triangle and a member of the Special Operations Group.

In his previous life, he was played by Peng Yuyan.

But such a face and accent 0 go undercover, are you sure that you won't be discovered?

For this role, Xu Ning decided to change people.

After thinking about it, he thought of a person - Zhu Yilong, who had worked with Xu Ning before, and his impression of Zhu Yilong was not bad.

This actor has good acting skills and strong plasticity, and his beard and long hair are indeed very Taoist.

In addition, it is the heroine.

Needless to say, this must be pushed by her own woman.

This is a capable policewoman, Xu Ning thought of Fan Bing'er and asked her to act as the face of this film.

In addition, the political commissars, leaders and other characters in the movie, he wrote them down in the phone book one by one.

In the end, there are Zhang Hanyu, Duan Yihong, Jiang Wen, Zhu Yilong, Fan Binger, Chen Baoguo, Luo Jing, Zhu Yawen, Zhao Liying, Jing Tian and others.

Except for a few protagonists, the others mostly make cameos, and there is very little time, and some only have a few seconds of footage.

Soon.

Xu Ning handed these lists to Zhang Xuan and Liu Yinyin, and asked them to call one by one.

In addition, the movie was also announced.

It will be powered on in a few days.

At present, Xu Ning has contacted the official in Yun Province through the relationship, and the filming assistance will be provided.

Everything is ready to go.

……

Meanwhile.

"Pacific Rim" is in production, and many scenes need to be personally supervised by Xu Ning.

Therefore, he will not stay in the crew of "Mekong" all the time, but he has drawn all the storyboard footsteps, and Lin Chaoxian just needs to follow it.

At this point, he is still very relieved.

The start-up was chosen in Thailand, except for the Sina reporter brought by Xu Ning personally, there were few other reporters, after all, it was quite far to go abroad.

After the boot is over.

It's time to get to the shooting stage.

The most important filming location, the Golden Triangle, Xu Ning didn't go himself, he was afraid of death, if a gun came out of nowhere, it would be over.

Therefore, Lin Chaoxian led the team on the Golden Triangle, and he only directed in the studios of Bangkok, Yun Province and Ningde Film and Television Base in Thailand.

This movie, according to the shooting plan, will take about three months, and Xu Ning will return to China after staying in Thailand for a month.

Before leaving, Fan Bing'er was reluctant, gritted her teeth and held on to the window, her expression seemed to be painful and happy, and she looked back at Xu Ning with affection.

"Brother Ning, give it to me, I want to give you a baby." Fan Bing'er said very much looking forward to it.

It's been a long time.

Xu Ning thought about it for a while, but decided to fulfill her wish.

Bingbing, who got what she wanted, was very happy, nestled in her arms and fell asleep, and the next day she woke up early to serve Xu Ning to dress.

After returning home.

I met two babies for the first time, and then plunged headlong into the creation of "Pacific Rim".

This time.

The script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" has also been completed, and the scene has also been built in Ningde Film and Television Base, just waiting to start.

The choice of the movie is very important, and if the wrong protagonist is chosen, then fans will be very resistant.

He felt this very much.

In the previous life, the casting of this movie was very unsuccessful, and the special effects were very average, so there was nothing to see.

Xu Ning's personal protagonist Hu Bayi this time is Chen Kun, and he also played Hu Bayi in "Looking for the Dragon".

But Wang Fatzi can't choose Huang Bo, in the middle, Wang Fatzi is the Beijing dialect of the True Twenty-Eight Classics, enough tigers and bandits are enough to be two, greedy for money and broken mouths, and people are fat enough.

Huang Bo is not suitable at all.

After thinking about it, he decided to call "Wulin Gaiden" Li Dazui to play, this guy should be very suitable.

The other is the last person in the trio of touching gold - Shirley Yang, this is a woman, who will it be handed over?

was thinking about this, Yang Mi's call came, and when she saw the name, Xu Ning had an answer in her heart.

Picking up the phone, Da Mimi's milky voice came: "Brother Ning, come to my house for dinner tonight, my mother made the pot chicken you love." ”

Xu Ning smiled: "Where did you get the pot from in your house?" ”

Yang Mi: "My dad bought it from the market, and he made pot chicken for you to eat." ”

Xu Ning: "Okay, I have something good to tell you." ”

Yang Mi: "Ah, what's the matter?" ”

Xu Ning: "You know I'm going to shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", right? The heroine in it is still one person missing, I want to ask who do you choose? ”

Suddenly, there was silence for three seconds.

Then I heard Yang Mi shouting: "Brother Ning, Brother Ning, me, what do you think of me?" ”

Xu Ning didn't reply directly, but made a bend: "Cough, I've walked a lot these days, and my feet are a little sore." ”

Yang Mi immediately said: "I just bought a footwashing bucket, electric, can I kneel on the ground to wash your feet tonight?!" ”

What?

Kneeling?

What kind of fetish is this?

But, it seems to be pretty good, wouldn't it be more comfortable to wash your feet this way? (End of chapter)
