Chapter 230: Inception Casting (3/5)
"Let me tell you, you can't dress like this when you play Seaweed, you have to remove your makeup and go to the pure road!"
Seeing Yang Xiaomi again, Shen Mengxi didn't know what to say, the fox would become a demon?
To be precise, it's probably a little - that is, pure or bewitching, beautiful, seductive but slightly frivolous and unstable.
β... I didn't want to see you, so I dressed up a little..."
β... Say, what's the matter?"
"Can't I come to see you if it's okay? I haven't seen you in a long time!"
β... Busy. β
Shen Mengxi was a little embarrassed, in fact, he wasn't like this before, even if he broke up, he could be a good friend...
You are like Zhou Yang and Huang Chuhan, and you have always been very grateful to him!
got up and poured her a cup of tea: "Didn't you join the group "Snail House" right away?"
β... Is it impossible for Hu Ge to play Becky?"
"Yes, he has to take over "The Wind", the role of Takeda requires him to devote himself wholeheartedly, he can't do drama, and the crew can't allow him to do drama!"
"Then I recommend an actor!"
Shen Mengxi was dissatisfied...
You are an actor who does what you have to do and crosses the line, you know?
But still, he said: "... Who?"
"Ma Tianyu!"
β... I know him, from your class?"
"yes, he's not feeling good right now..."
"I know, Cai Yinong mentioned it to me, and I asked her to do it herself!"
Yang Xiaomi and Ma Tianyu are classmates, and it is said that they have also taken him to play with the Ruili model circle for a while, but it seems that the Ruili model is more powerful and looks down on Ma Tianyu...
Ma Tianyu...
It's not good now, to be specific, it's a brokerage dispute...
His agency, Electric Boy Entertainment, is a stupid company that does land prices and fights with record label distributors...
A bunch of!
With such a brokerage company, the artist really poured blood mold!
Cai Yinong likes Ma Tianyu very much, and has always wanted to sign him, and told Shen Mengxi about this person some time ago...
Shen Mengxi respects Lao Cai, after all, her letting go allowed Mengxi Company to successfully become Tang Ren.
If she wants to be Ma Tianyu, then sign him!
So, Ma Tianyu is also an artist under Mengxi...
However, Shen Mengxi still said: "He is not suitable for Xiaobei, his image gives people the feeling of male number two and male girlfriends." β
"That..."
"You don't have to worry about it, the crew's affairs, the crew can solve it by themselves, you can take care of yourself. β
"I'm fine!"
looked at Shen Mengxi with an innocent face...
Shen Mengxi was a little cautious, after all, he was not a gentleman, and it had been almost a week since he came back from the United States, so he didn't have much chance to walk his kidneys...
The ammunition depot is plentiful!
β... Hey, Nolan, you're in China?"
"OK, I'll pick you up at the airport!"
Just then, his cell phone rang, and Nolan...
"I've got something to do, let's see you next time!"
This is an eviction order...
Yang Xiaomi bit her lip and left...
Sure enough, men have no conscience to speak of!
......
Nolan did come to China, and with a relaxed attitude...
He was rejected several times in a row, which made him feel a little embarrassed!
Emma advises him to travel abroad to relax...
So, he came to China, ready to meet with Shen Mengxi and talk about "Inception"...
At the airport, when Shen Mengxi rushed to the coffee shop, he saw Nolan sitting next to the window, meticulously drinking coffee...
It's so easy to recognize!
Even though there are a lot of foreigners in this cafΓ©, few of them have meticulous hair combed...
"Hi Chris!"
"Shen!"
The two hugged each other, helped put his suitcase in the trunk of the car, and went straight back to their home.
A simple chat, I learned about the casting didn't go well...
Shen Mengxi was quite shocked, although he knew that the casting of "Inception" was not going well, he was still a little speechless when he heard it with his own ears...
Anyway, he is also a big director who has directed a billion dollars at the global box office, and the actor is still Xiao Lizi, are you Hollywood actors so characterful?
"Take your time, there is a saying in China that good things are more grinding!"
"It's a lot of good things... Thank you for your blessings!"
......
Before Shen Mengxi went to pick up Nolan, he notified Zhao Jinsong and asked him to deal with the media that might come!
After all, it's Nolan the Great...
Well, he thought too much ...
At this stage, Nolan is far from being a god, he is a god in China, and he has to wait until "Inception" and "Interstellar" are released...
In the eyes of most of the population, he is just a commercial film director who makes box office money by the side of Batman IP!
The coffee position is slightly equal to Chris Columbus and Alfonso CuarΓ³n, who did not make "Children of Men"...
Moreover, Beijing International Airport is full of people, and no one notices Shen Mengxi, let alone Nolan...
As long as Mengxi Company does not publicize it to the outside world, the media will not notice it at all!
Of course, Mengxi Company will definitely promote it, after all, it has invested heavily in "Inception", which is also a pre-publicity...
But not now, at least until the characters are confirmed!
......
"What a nice residence!"
After Chris saw Shen Mengxi's villa, he said with some surprise.
It's not that the sigh is too big, but ... It's a little too small, and it doesn't match Shen Mengxi's worth at all!
β... It's a little smaller, but this is Beijing, so you can't build too big villas!"
This villa was bought by him in the middle of the year, more than 400 square meters, partial Chinese style courtyard style, and the price is about 38 million.
"Do you want to rest first?"
After bringing Chris to the living room, Shen Mengxi asked him.
"No, I slept well on the plane, you read the script first. β
"'Dream Thief', 'Sentinel', 'Dream Builder', 'Forger', 'Apothecary', very typical team type!"
"That's right..."
Shen Mengxi looked through the script in his hand, and I have to say that from the theme, narrative to production, "Inception" is a typical Hollywood production.
Story Flow: Failed Quest β Accepting a New Quest β Calling Assistants β Planning Quest β Implementing Quest β Overcoming Crisis β Success...
Don't care about the layers of dreams or whatever, his script arrangement is the narrative of a commercial blockbuster!
According to McGee's "Story", the main plot of the film should have five parts: motivational events, progress entanglements, crises, climaxes, endings...
Inception fits perfectly!
The fan-touted 'Cameron is responsible for innovating film technology, Nolan is responsible for innovating film structure', is completely nonsense, in terms of film narrative, "Inception" is completely inferior to "Memory Fragments"...
"Fragments of Memory" is a masterpiece, and the cinematic techniques are nothing more than montages and story sequences, voiceovers, flashbacks, etc...
"Fragments of Memory" innovates the narrative structure of the film by interfering with the narrative!
Of course, "Memory Fragments" is just a low-budget work with an investment of less than $5 million, and Nolan loves to play how to play...
"Inception" is not good - the pursuit of commercial films is profit.
"I suddenly wanted to see this movie on the big screen sooner!"
Put down the script in his hand, Shen Mengxi said.
