Chapter 31: Even the dimples are remembered
Leo's MV was done, Su Changqing sent it to Huang Yang, quite satisfied, and said that Feitu was interested in continuing to cooperate, and it seemed that the little director Jiang He found was at a good level.
Ximen Xiong withstood the pressure, the funds were in place quickly, and the work after that had to be rushed for time, and the war scenes must be filmed before the Lunar New Year, and don't think about starting work seriously in the month of the Spring Festival.
In this way, Su Changqing must immediately determine the candidates for artists, props, etc., and he can't wait any longer.
Choosing Ma Anna to be in charge of the clothing group taught him a lesson, he has to have his own people, otherwise he will be stripped at a critical moment.
So he decided to choose young people who he was familiar with and admired before, although they were inexperienced, but they were experts and good at learning like Chen Jin, and growth was inevitable.
Making this movie is also a process of learning and maturity for Su Changqing, and it is wise to give some opportunities to newcomers in the same situation, and to cultivate good feelings and friendships as early as possible.
It is impossible to shoot the attack of the Warat Mongols on the city of Beijing in the current Beijing, not to mention that there is no city wall anymore, and the surrounding landscape is also very different.
At that time, the capital was a border city, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, the king died in Sheji, and it was quite desolate out of the city, and he wanted to restore it to set up a scene on the grassland.
Su Changqing took artists, props, field notes and others to Zhangjiakou, preparing to build a section of the city wall on the dam and the reduced scale of Xizhi Gate and Desheng Gate.
These two gates were the main battlefields back then, and the reason why the dam was chosen was because there was a horse farm nearby, and one of the last cavalry units of the republic, once the shooting of horses and soldiers was not worried.
The actor is also quickly determined, the two emperors and most of the military generals chose the Beijing Film Studio, and of course the Mongolian Warat Department are all Mongolian actors from the NMG Factory, which is considered a joint production of the three companies, so that the film studio has income and the actors have a way out, which is a win-win good thing.
In the historical background part, Su Changqing has been asking Ding Jialuo to reduce his role, and the audience is not interested in taking history lessons, probably knowing that a Ming Dynasty emperor was defeated and captured in Tumubao, and the rebellious Mongolian tribe led a large army back to Beijing, and the younger brother who succeeded to the throne was not allowed to enter the city, so he just had a big fight.
In addition, part of the interior of the palace and part of the tunnel have also begun to be built in the studio of the North Film Studio, and it is imminent to determine the actress.
There was a new drama filming, although there was no media publicity, but it quickly spread in the circle, and then the news rippled out, and the lotus alley was soon full of people.
In just one week, Su Changqing met dozens of actresses, and selected two personal palace maids based on his strength, which can be regarded as the third female and the fifth female.
The girls are still very dedicated and enthusiastic, some of them are free to appear without pay, and some promise to bring money into the group, and they can bring in 180,000 sponsorships, but unfortunately they are not in Su Changqing's eyes.
and others secretly sent autumn spinach to Su Changqing, which made him upset.
In the spirit of being responsible for art and the body, I can only thank Busen.
Ximen Xiong and Du Keke also participated in the selection, these two are immune to women and are more reliable.
There are the most girls who apply for the role of princess, and every time she sees one these days, Su Changqing subconsciously compares it with Hu Ji, but the result is not more suitable, so she simply went to Renyi to find Hu Ji a few days later.
After the phone had already made an appointment to have dinner together, he went directly to the dormitory in the evening.
In the corridor, I met Chen Xiaoyi and Liu Bei who also went out to eat, and they were very good friends.
Chen Xiaoyi's film was sent to the Hundred Flowers Award for review, and Su Changqing was very enthusiastic when he saw him: "I heard that Master Su recently opened a new play, have you shown yourself if it will succeed?"
"It's hard for a doctor to heal himself, I can't show myself," Su Changqing was in a good mood when he saw these stunning beauties, and believed that she wasn't teasing: "Hu Ji is upstairs?"
"It seems to be doing laundry, this is my friend Liu Bei, Meipai Da Qingyi, is there a suitable role to arrange in the new play?"
Liu Bei gently slapped Xiaoyi with his elbow, as if he blamed her for speaking casually.
Su Changqing haha: "I've seen her play in the story of the editorial department, a peerless beauty." ”
Liu Bei resigned a few years ago and broke through the showbiz alone, and it is still a low period.
"I'm asking you what about the new play. ”
"Don't you think your friend is as unsuitable for ancient costumes as you are?"
Liu Bei himself admitted first: "Although I was born in Tsing Yi, film and television dramas are indeed not suitable for ancient costumes." ”
So everyone smiled and said goodbye: "The next play, the next part may have a chance to cooperate." ”
Hu Ji had just dried his clothes, wearing a navy blue turtleneck, his face was a little flushed with his busy face, and his eyes lit up when he saw Su Changqing: "You're early." ”
"I am thinking about the appointment of beautiful women, and I have some years at home. ”
"Flim tongue, aren't you busy interviewing actors these days?"
Huji's room is clean and tidy, there are few things, and there is a clear fragrance.
"So it's like a year. ”
"What do you mean?"
"We'll talk about it later. ”
Hu Ji wore a windbreaker, and the two walked a long way down the street to find a suitable restaurant.
Su Changqing ordered jade rabbit colorful silk, chrysanthemum stew and ivory chicken strips, all of which are Hu Ji's favorite dishes, Ding Jialuo said.
Chrysanthemum stew...... It seems that no one has made this dish later, anyway, there is no such magical thing in the rivers and lakes after thirty years.
Su Changqing first thanked Hu Ji for mediating the battle of the Forbidden City on the night of the full moon, and she was not polite: "It's hard for me to imagine how you can fight, Ximen Zhao and I are also very familiar with each other, and he has always been a gentle big brother." ”
Su Changqing pursed his lips and was not convinced: "I can understand his brother's heart, but he can't be indiscriminate, he is gentle and elegant, scolding me in French and splashing me with coffee." ”
"You didn't scold other people's seeds? It is said that the injury was later evaluated, and it was a minor injury. ”
Su Changqing was a little helpless: "The prosecution period for minor injuries is five years, if this drama loses money, this kid has to sue me." ”
Hu Ji couldn't help but laugh and pursed his lips: "So you are the first director ever to be sentenced for filming at a loss?"
"Minor injuries of the second degree shall be imprisonment for up to three years. ”
Hu Ji looked at Su Changqing with interest: "Then you have to shoot well, I heard that my new prisoners will be beaten when they go in." ”
If you want to be a fart, there is also a famous dish called chrysanthemum stew.
"So you have to save me. ”
Hu Ji became serious: "How to save it, go and ask Ximen Zhao to tear up the appraisal report......?
Su Changqing waved his hand: "We can't be so unproductive, do the work in hand well, he Ximen's family is embarrassed to sue me if he makes money?"
"Then why do you want me to save you?"
Su Changqing looked worried: "The heroine of this drama has not yet been decided." ”
Of course, Hu Ji understood his intention, but recommended others: "What do you think of my classmate Xu Qing?"
Su Changqing immediately shook his head: "Although she is very beautiful, she is not suitable, she is too soft and sexy, and she has two small dimples in a smile, which is like a decisive princess who dares to dig the tunnel." ”
"You've observed quite carefully," Hu Ji looked at him with a smile, and his voice was a little strange: "Even the dimples are remembered." ”
