Chapter 177 Give it a try

"If you look at me like that, I...I will be shy." Zhang Ziyi said softly with a blushing face.

Just like those ignorant girls who have never experienced anything.

Thinking of her enthusiasm last night, as if she was a different person, Qi Wei thought to himself that she was indeed an actress.

Watching Zhang Ziyi, who was wearing a bellyband, put on pieces of trousers, woolen trousers under cotton trousers, and long johns under woolen trousers. Not counting underwear, he actually wore eight pairs of trousers.

"Eight pairs of trousers, that's a lot for you to wear." Qi Wei sighed with emotion.

Recalling how anxious Qi Wei was when he pulled his pants off yesterday, Zhang Ziyi laughed out loud.

"You know how cold it is here in winter. I'm a girl and I'm afraid of the cold, so I can only think of ways to keep myself warm. These eight pairs of pants are all my belongings."

"My Father and Mother" was filmed in Donggou Village, Fengning County, Hebei Province, which is also the Fengning Bashang Grassland.

The winter wind on the grassland is more like a knife than in the city, and it is really cold.

Zhang Ziyi stopped dressing, put her face against Qi Wei's chest, closed her eyes and pretended to enjoy it: "It's still warm here."

Qi Wei smiled and replied: "I have the heater on in my RV, so it must be warm."

"No, you are the warmer person." She raised her head and looked at Qi Wei, her watery eyes full of love.

Then he smiled and said: "There is no heating in my place. You don't know that the place where I sleep is hard and cold. Every day I sleep is like suffering. Even if I wear a few pairs of pants to sleep every day, I will wake up from the cold every night."

"

"Is it really that bad?" Qi Wei asked with some surprise. During the filming of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", Qi Wei slept in a private house, but it was summer and autumn, and it wasn't cold when sleeping at night. At most, there were mosquitoes

.

"Yeah." Zhang Ziyi nodded.

"Is it possible that you wake up so early every day to make breakfast for me because you wake up from the cold?"

"You have discovered all this, haha." She looked at Qi Wei and laughed.

Qi Wei also looked at her, recalling that during the filming days with her, he had a deeper understanding of her through such long-term contact.

Maybe it was due to her clothing, and her true character was not as pure as she appeared on the surface, but overall, Qi Wei had a pretty good impression of her.

So Qi Wei said: "If you feel cold at night, you can come and sleep in my RV."

When she heard this, she immediately looked happy, "Can I really do this?"

"Of course you can. Anyway, I have a bed in my RV."

Although there are two beds, if a man and a woman live together, it goes without saying that they will eventually end up on the same bed.

We have met each other candidly, and there is no barrier between us, as long as we take the initiative...

It won't be like last night.

Zhang Ziyi thought to himself.

"I'll help you clean it up then," she said happily.

"As long as you like it."

Watching her get closer and closer, then she closed her eyes.

Qi Wei knew what she meant.

Didn't refuse.

Why do you want to wear pants like this? It's really tiring to pick out eight pairs of pants.

Qi Wei complained in his heart.

…

Of course, Zhang Ziyi wears eight pairs of pants not only to keep warm, but also to play the role of Zhao Di well in the movie.

"My Father and Mother" tells the love story between parents in the 1960s and 1970s. In that impoverished era, beautiful girls in the countryside were not too thin, and more of them were beautiful because of their plumpness.

Of course, he's not as fat as a tank.

At the beginning, Lao Mouzi was selected from the girls from the Chinese Opera Class 96 who participated in the Qi Wei MV. At that time, there were only two girls from the Chinese Opera Class 96 who participated in the Qi Wei MV, Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Tong.

If the choice is based on the image that is more in line with the movie, Qi Wei feels that the round and round Zhang Tong is more suitable.

At that time, although Zhang Ziyi often played the roles of women and girls in school sketches to erase her talents as a dancer, she grew up in the city after all.

It is also difficult to imitate the look of a rural girl.

Since it is generally difficult to raise investment for making movies at this time, there is often insufficient investment. Movie making does not give actors too many opportunities for trial and error. Therefore, ordinary movie directors try their best to select actors who fit the role.

Lord.

But after all, Lao Mouzi is a famous director at home and abroad, and with Zhang Weiping helping him solve his worries, there is no shortage of investment in his films.

Actors can be given ample time to audition.

So Zhang Ziyi is lucky to be able to film his scenes.

Maybe her appearance was more in line with Lao Mouzi's aesthetics, or maybe her unyielding fighting spirit moved Lao Mouzi, and in the end he chose her between her and Zhang Tong.

And she was lucky enough to get this opportunity.

Zhang Ziyi is not afraid of hard work and has experienced rural life for several years. Although her movements and demeanor can be imitated with subtle and slightly raised eyebrows, there is still some gap between her and beautiful rural girls in terms of body shape.

She is too thin.

She belongs to the type who doesn't gain weight.

Many classmates in the freshman year gained weight due to anxiety about studying. Although she was also anxious as a crane, she just couldn't gain weight. Even though she knew she had to gain weight for the role, even if she ate more every meal, she had only gained a few pounds so far.

.

There was no other way. In order to fit the character's body shape better, she could only wear more clothes to make herself bulkier.

Although it is troublesome to wear more clothes, the effect is quite good. Not only does the body shape look more consistent, but when walking and running, it also has the coquettish look of a rural girl.

Even Lao Mouzi praised her for this.

In "My Father and Mother", Qi Wei didn't have many scenes, and he often only filmed one scene after a while.

But Qi Wei didn't feel bored in the crew.

In addition to having Zhang Ziyi to comfort him, more importantly, Qi Wei himself will also have fun.

"You should make good use of natural light. The light before 8 a.m. and after 4 p.m. is the softest, and the effect of taking pictures will be better."

In the crew, Qi Wei would always ask Lao Mouzi about photography when he had nothing to do.

After all, Lao Mouzi is a director with a background in photography, and he is definitely one of the best in photography.

You must have found the right person if you find him.

Lao Mouzi was also very patient. He would answer Qi Wei's questions carefully every time without hiding any secrets.

And this was all seen by Zhang Ziyi.

"Brother Qi, do you plan to change your career to a director in the future? Just like Jiang Wen." she asked.

"Like Jiang Wen?" Qi Wei shook his head and laughed, "Although I do want to shoot some of my own works, I won't imitate him."

The works that Qi Wei wanted to make were mainly about beautiful things between men and women, but he actually had no intention of becoming a director.

When a director makes a film, it often takes more than half a year from preparation to shooting to release. If it is a large-scale production, it may even take several years. During this period, many things require the director to work hard, which is really time-consuming and labor-intensive.

.

Qi Wei, who has gradually become a capital, will have more things to worry about, and how can he have so much time to be a director and film.

It's better to find a few reliable tool people.

Even after these few years of busy work are over and all his career is on track, Qi Wei will reduce his filming tasks as an actor.

If you have that time, you might as well spend more time with your own forests.

Of course, if you have nothing to do at that time and want to direct a movie on a whim, that's not impossible.

"Stand still and smile." Picking up the camera, Qi Wei took a photo of Zhang Ziyi.

"You're taking pictures of me when I'm dressed so ugly." After the photo was taken, Zhang Ziyi said with a bit of embarrassment.

"No, you're pretty good-looking, and the photos look pretty good too."

Qi Wei's words made Zhang Ziyi curious. She came to Qi Wei's camera and looked at the photo she had just taken.

A beautiful and silly girl dressed in the countryside stood on the yellow grass all over the mountains and plains. Under the afterglow of the sunset, she showed a golden beauty.

"You are quite talented in photography. Maybe you will really become a director in the future." She looked at Qi Wei with eyes shining and said with an expression of admiration.

"If you thought that I would be a director and film a movie, you would have already become famous by then. If I invited you, would you participate in the movie?" Qi Wei asked with a smile.

"Succeeding and becoming famous? Then how famous do you think I will be?" she asked with a serious expression.

Qi Wei thought for a moment and replied: "You will become the next Gong Li, no, you will be Zhang Ziyi."

"I'd like to lend you some good words."

She understood the meaning of Qi Wei's words, and she said happily: "If it turns out to be what you said, as long as you invite me, I will participate in the show, and I will pay zero pay."

"Can't you post it backwards?"

"I can transfer my money to you, of course. I can transfer my money to you."

The atmosphere set off this place, and the rest fell into place.

In the crew, apart from learning photography from Lao Mouzi, another fun thing to do is learning to ride a horse.

The Bashang Grassland in Fengning, where "My Father and Mother" was filmed, has its own horse farm.

Movies filmed by great directors like Lao Mouzi are actually very popular with the locals in the shooting locations.

It was quite easy for the crew to find two herdsmen to teach Qi Wei how to ride a horse.

Almost a month has passed since he started learning horse riding before he joined the group, and Qi Wei's horse riding skills have improved a lot.

Although it is not yet at the level of galloping at will, it is still quite impressive.

After riding the horse for a while, Zhang Ziyi took out a kettle and handed it to Qi Wei when he stopped.

"Thank you." Qi Wei, who happened to be thirsty, smiled and took it.

"Be careful," she said with concern.

"Well, I understand."

Although the water in the pot is hot, it is just the right temperature to drink in small sips.

I drank a lot slowly and felt warm all over my body.

Seeing Zhang Ziyi's eyes curiously looking at the horse under his crotch, Qi Wei asked with a smile:

"How about you give it a try?"

Although Zhang Ziyi was a little eager to try it, she still had some scruples about riding a horse. After thinking about it, she refused and said, "Forget it, horse riding is a sport for you men."

Qi Wei knew that Zhang Ziyi was concerned about safety, so he leaned down and took her hand and put it against the horse's neck, "Actually, it is very gentle and not as dangerous as you think."

Seeing that Zhang Ziyi was still hesitating, Qi Wei spoke passionately: "In the future, if you make those commercial blockbusters with period costumes and there are horse riding scenes, is it possible that you will have to find a substitute?"

Actors at this time were not as pretentious as later generations. There were many people who learned a skill while filming a scene. Unless the scene was really impossible to complete or the action was too dangerous, they would find a substitute.

Filming is basically done by the actors themselves.

Qi Wei's words reminded Zhang Ziyi of the commercial blockbuster that she had overheard with an investment of over 200 million. She was a very hardworking person and she overcame her fear in an instant.

"Brother Qi, I also want to ride a horse." She made up her mind.

"No problem." Qi Wei dismounted as he said that, "You step on it and get on."

As he said this, he helped Zhang Ziyi step on the stirrups and get on the horse, and then he jumped on the horse.

"Are you ready?"

Seeing Zhang Ziyi nodded, Qi Wei showed off his horse skills and made the horse stand up.

Only Zhang Ziyi's frightened screams were heard.

Although Zhang Ziyi was not so frightened that she cursed like a spicy girl next door, she was obviously frightened.

Qi Wei knew that he had gone too far and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this."

Zhang Ziyi took a breath, forced a smile, and replied: "It doesn't matter, I believe in you, Brother Qi."

"Well, I won't let you get hurt, I promise."

But Zhang Ziyi laughed and said: "What I mean is that I believe Brother Qi is a responsible person. If I get injured while riding a horse now, Brother Qi will definitely take care of me and raise me well. Maybe he will raise me for a lifetime."

."

"Then you'll be paralyzed from the fall."

"If Brother Qi you are willing to support me for the rest of my life, it doesn't matter if I fall paralyzed."

Qi Wei looked at her innocent look, was stunned for a moment, pinched her nose and said: "Don't say any unlucky words, sit still."

Qi Wei shouted "Drive" and the horse started to run.

After all, Qi Wei's horse riding skills are not particularly skilled, and the horse does not run very fast.

Sitting on the horse, although Zhang Ziyi was still a little scared, thinking about the man behind him always gave him an inexplicable sense of security.

Give her peace of mind.

This allowed her to slowly get used to it.

After riding for a while, she said: "Qi Wei, I heard that your company is preparing for a martial arts drama. Are you preparing for that drama?"

"Yeah." Qi Wei nodded. He learned to ride horses not only for fun, but also to prepare for "Xiao Li's Flying Knife".

Zhang Ziyi paused for a moment before asking: "Is there a suitable role for me in this drama?"

"You?" Qi Wei couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ziyi in his arms, shook his head and replied with a smile: "You, you are not suitable."

"Why am I not suitable? Am I not suitable for ancient costumes?" She panicked for no reason.

"That's not what I meant."

Qi Wei has always been generous. Since he has a close relationship with her, there is no problem in arranging one or two roles for her.

But Qi Wei, who has the memory of later generations, knows her future development trajectory, and is afraid that it will have too much influence and cause a too big butterfly effect. In that case, it will be a bad thing done with good intentions.

So Qi Wei explained: "My drama is a TV series. Look at Gong Li, has she ever filmed a TV series? No, since you are targeting her and looking for girls, you shouldn't film any TV series.

"

"But."

"I know your concerns. You are worried that you won't be able to get a role after filming this movie, right? You shouldn't worry about that. You have to trust Director Zhang and my vision. For the movie "My Father and Mother,"

It will make you famous and good luck will follow."

"Yeah." She looked back at Qi Wei and nodded heavily to show her trust.

At this moment the horse had stopped and stopped on a hillside.

Qi Wei laughed.

"Huh?" Zhang Ziyi, who understood instantly, blushed and said a little shyly: "It's so cold outside."

"Didn't you say you feel warm in my arms? Don't worry, I will help you protect yourself from the wind."

Finally she agreed.

She felt the cold wind blowing in both directions, and soon felt bumps again.

Because the horse started running again.

The time has come to the end of November, a month has almost passed, and Zhang Weiping's market research has also produced results.

"That guy is right, martial arts is indeed very popular abroad, and commercial martial arts blockbusters are indeed taking off." Zhang Weiping said to Lao Mouzi with the market research report.

Taking the investigation report, Lao Mouzi read it for a long time before he said: "I have a friend Li Yu, the one who made "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eat Drink Man and Woman". He is preparing to adapt Wang Dulu's novel "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Tiger"

The adaptation of "Dragon" is under preparation and has already attracted a lot of investment. I would like to ask if you are interested in investing."

"'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' is a martial arts novel?"

Lao Mouzi took out the novel and nodded again.

"So, the martial arts commercial blockbuster is really promising!"

"This is not necessarily the case. It may encounter Waterloo."

"But I feel it will be successful, so I can give it a try."

Lao Mouzi did not reply.

Zhang Weiping thought of something again and said: "I think we can ask that guy if he is willing to invest in this movie. If he is willing, it means that it is really going to happen. The same goes for the "Hero" project, and we can also prepare it."
