Chapter 709: Wen Ziren's new toy
When he put down the phone, Zhang Chu didn't know how he got by.
How did Zhang Ziyi know the name "Lu Zhaoniang"?
Could it be......
Zhang Chu remembered that when Zhang Ziyi called yesterday, she said that she was going to attend the class reunion of the 96th class of Chinese opera.
Could it be......
Zeng Quinoa!
As soon as he thought of Zeng Quinoa's name, Zhang Chu's mobile phone rang, and then clicked on it and saw that it was a text message.
"I've seen her!"
The sender is none other than Zeng Quinoa!
Holding his mobile phone, he hesitated for a long time, but Zhang Chu finally didn't dial the number.
He and Zeng Quinoa have not been in touch for a long time, and Zeng Quinoa would often text him before, but in the past two years, Zeng Quinoa seems to have disappeared.
Except for occasionally seeing her starring in a film and television drama on entertainment news, the two seem to have really disappeared into each other's lives.
I thought that Zeng Quinoa had let go of all the things in her previous life, but I didn't expect that she would hold back a big one.
Zhang Chu didn't know how much Zeng Quinoa and Zhang Ziyi had said, but since Zhang Ziyi could say the name "Lu Zhaoniang", she didn't leave a word behind what she should say and what she shouldn't say.
At this moment, the ringtone suddenly rang, startling Zhang Chu and almost throwing his mobile phone out.
Wen Ziren!
!
almost scared Lao Tzu out of his heart attack.
What is Wen Ziren calling for at this time?
It should be the middle of the night on the Chinese side, and it should still be the middle of the night on the American side!
"Hey!"
"Hey! Zhang, guess where I am? ”
Accompanied by Wen Ziren's voice, Zhang Chu seemed to have heard the wind, as well as ......
Boom!
It's not a fight, Zhang Chu is very familiar with this sound, it is the sound of a large group of horses galloping by.
"You're not in the United States?"
"Bingo, that's right, I've arrived in China, right in a ...... Do you know what's around me in unexpected places? My God! It's the first time I've seen such a large herd of horses, and everything here is simply amazing! ”
Wen Ziren chattered and didn't reveal where he was for a long time.
"You called me just to tell me this?"
"Of course not, Zhang, I found what we desperately need, a large herd of horses, you can't imagine what it would be like when hundreds of horses galloped past me at the same time."
If you don't pay attention any longer, beware of the next side and it will turn into a puddle of mud.
What's so fresh about the horses!
Zhang Chu has not only seen it, but also seen the cavalry team sitting on it.
Moreover, he was chased and killed by that cavalry.
Listening to Wen Ziren's emotion for a long time, Zhang Chu had the opportunity to ask him where he was at this moment.
"Inner Mongolia, here is everything the crew wants, endless grasslands, herds of cattle and sheep, and most importantly, Zhang, our war horses have fallen, and you will soon become the commander of a cavalry team."
This time, Warner is going to shoot "Huo Qu's Disease", and Wen Ziren is still chosen as the director.
Counting, this is the ninth film that the two have collaborated on, and after Zhang Chu entered Hollywood, all his works were with Wen Ziren.
At the beginning, Warner was preparing to shoot "Huo Qu's Disease" in the United States, where there is also a vast no-man's land, which can fully meet the shooting needs.
But in the end, in order to save costs, Warner still set the location in China.
After all, the champion Hou Huo was sick and could not lead a cavalry with a high nose and blue eyes to fight against the Huns.
"Zhang, how long will it take for your current work to end, I can't wait to do it!"
Although the play "Huo Qu's Disease" is very different from Wen Ziren's previous film works in terms of style, as long as he thinks of the records of the Han-Hungarian War that he saw in the documents, he can't help but be enthusiastic.
Nearly 2,000 years ago, in the era of cold weapons, tens of thousands of people, or even hundreds of thousands of cruel wars, although the written records are very pale, Wen Ziren can still feel the bits and pieces of 20 centuries ago through those words.
This greatly stimulated Wen Ziren's creative enthusiasm, and at this moment he couldn't wait to shoot every war scene described in the script.
"Don't worry, my side won't end until at least the end of December, so you can only wait patiently."
"Oh! No, God! It's torture for me, Zhang, my creative passion is completely uncontrollable, and I want to use the camera lens to communicate with those big heroes who lived 2000 years ago! ”
This man was already excited.
"You should be prepared now, and don't disturb my work anymore."
Zhang Chu hung up the phone after speaking, he was not in the mood to listen to a mentally ill person beep blindly at this time.
"What a boring guy!"
Wen Ziren on the other side of the phone shrugged helplessly, and then called his assistant loudly.
"I've given you a mission, and I'm going to have to set aside some time to train them by the end of December, and I'm going to have to set aside some time to train them, understand?"
The assistant nodded busily.
"Also, you have to stay in China until this drama is completed, you have to keep an eye on the props, I don't want to see any mistakes!"
"Yes, sir, as you wish!"
After instructing the assistant, Wen Ziren was attracted by the herd of horses not far away.
It's spectacular!
Now Wen Ziren is like a child who has been given a new toy, and the whole person is always in a state of excitement.
"By the way, I also need actors, a lot of extras."
Huo Qubing can't always take a group of horses to challenge another group of horses, and these horses need an equal number of good jockeys on their backs.
"Sir, I can't find so many good jockeys in such a short period of time."
The assistant looked embarrassed.
"Is it hard?"
Wen Ziren pointed to the herd of horses not far away, several herdsmen on horseback, holding horse poles, were driving the horses to the next pasture with abundant forage.
"I want someone who can ride a horse, and I don't necessarily have to have a professional certificate."
After speaking, Wen Ziren ignored the assistant and turned his head to look at the galloping horses.
Listening to the deafening sound, I felt the tremors beneath my feet.
"It's hard to imagine that general could defeat the people who grew on horseback in history."
The great name of the Xiongnu can be said to be thunderous to Westerners.
The Whip of God understands it.
Although until now, there has been no way to prove that the famous Attila in history is a descendant of the Huns, but Wen Ziren is still more inclined to affirm.
The Huns, who terrified the entire Western world in the Middle Ages, were defeated by the Han Chinese.
I lived in the grassland for three days in a row.
All Wen Ziren has to do every day is watch herds of horses pass in front of him.
Finally, on the fourth day, the assistant finally negotiated the lease with several herders.
Standing in front of several tall and fat Mongolian strong men, Wen Ziren, who was already thin, was a little weaker in momentum.
After a few glasses of mare's milk wine, Wen Ziren felt dizzy, followed by a few strong Mongolian men singing and dancing, and finally was allowed to ride the horse he had in mind and gallop back and forth on this endless grassland.
Wen Ziren had never ridden a horse, but his riding skills seemed to be innate, except for when he just sat on the horse, he panicked for a while, and waited until the horse under his crotch gradually increased his speed, feeling the wind on the grassland blowing in his ears, and smelling the fragrance of grass in the air.
If he could, Wen Ziren would have planned to spend his entire life here.
This kind of unrestrained feeling, he has not experienced for a long time.
Everything is progressing step by step and in an orderly manner, and the follow-up troops of the director team have also arrived in China.
With helpers, Wen Ziren's enthusiasm for work is getting higher and higher.
Finally, in mid-December, all the preparations, after acceptance, were basically completed.
Especially the two cavalry teams that were formed.
In order to train the cavalry team, Wen Ziren also specially asked someone to invite a retired cavalryman.
In just a few days, from the initial looseness, although I dare not say that it is forbidden, it seems that at least it is no longer a group of rabble.
Everything is ready, and now after Zhang Chu comes, Wen Ziren will show his strength.
During this time, Wen Ziren would often talk to Zhang Chu on the phone.
As for whether this will affect the filming of "Hurricane Rescue 4".
Wen Ziren said: It's my!
Every time he talked on the phone, Wen Ziren had to share with Zhang Chu the latest progress of preparations.
Of course, there are some other things.
Like what......
"Owen. There's a lot of pressure on Turner right now, as if the vast majority of Warner's board of directors still don't approve of starting the project "Huo Qu's Disease", Zhang, I have to say, the West is not very interested in what happened in the East 2000 years ago"
The box office data of Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" in North America can only be described as "average".
You must know that since Zhang Chu entered Hollywood, the box office of each of his works has exceeded 100 million US dollars.
And the two parts of "Red Cliff" barely reached this number.
Facts have proven that Chinese historical films are not suitable for the North American market.
When Warner announced the filming plan of this movie, many people thought that this time Zhang Chu would eventually fall off the altar because of the problem of the theme of the movie.
Can Owen. Why does Turner insist on shooting?
Obviously, Owen. Turner still pressed the treasure on Zhang Chu's body.
The box office data of "Red Cliff" does not mean that Zhang Chu no longer has box office appeal.
"However, as long as you are here, I believe that this time, we can still succeed."
The sudden "confession" made Zhang Chu feel a chill.
Although it is a good thing to be trusted, but when a big man said to him, "I believe in you", Zhang Chu was still a little uncomfortable.
It's always a good thing to be believed, but Zhang Chu still prefers to slap his face with data.
