Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 210 209. If making a movie is compared to marrying a wife

His little request was fulfilled, and Ning Hao, who was in a good mood, continued to ask:

"Then which movie is our company going to make next?"

Wei Wu thought for a while and said: ""The Year in a Hurry" or "You at the Same Table" will do!

"But because Liu Shishi has a lot of scenes in our movie "Snow Leopard", he has to finish our drama first before he can go over to shoot a new movie.

"So her movie may have to be postponed. Then let's shoot "My Deskmate" first!"

Wei Wu felt that this arrangement was just what he wanted, and he felt more at ease with Guo Fan at the moment.

And Chen Sicheng can also gain one more film internship experience, which will make him more stable when he gets started.

Guo Fan and Chen Sicheng, although both of them are stupid. But relatively speaking, Guo Fan's current experience in making movies may be slightly better!

After all, Guo Fan has been working in the "Asia Music Center" column group of Travel TV since 2003, serving as the program packaging supervisor.

To put it bluntly, although Guo Fan has never been a director before, he has been working behind the scenes seriously in recent years, so he naturally has some directing experience.

Just because he works behind the scenes, he must also want to be a director.

After all, whether they are screenwriters, artists, photographers or action directors, as long as they work behind the scenes and are talented, there are few who don't want to be directors.

Chen Sicheng has been working as an actor since graduating from Chinese Opera. In the early stages of his career, his main focus was definitely on how to be a good actor.

As for directing work, I probably don’t have that much time and energy to delve into it for the time being.

But then again, he successfully changed careers at a young age and quickly became a big director with a certain box office appeal.

In addition to talent, he must have had ambitions in this area, or ambitions.

Therefore, he is likely to be like Xu Zheng, the kind of actor who knows how to plan ahead and will deliberately understand and learn the work of directing after acting. He is also the kind of actor who is particularly motivated.

To put it bluntly, even though Chen Sicheng didn't have much experience as a director, he co-produced the filming of three youth films.

Then let him follow suit and shoot "The Year in a hurry". With his own talent, there will definitely be no problem.

Wei Wu glanced at Ning Hao and said, "You're not in a hurry, are you? Your hands are itchy from watching other people filming, right?"

"If you are in a hurry, I can make adjustments so that your side can start the operation in the first half of next year."

Ning Hao immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's good for me to be the supervisor of the crew now. I'm actually not in a hurry at all.

"If you leave me idle at home now, I might not be able to stay any longer.

"But now I have work to do every day, and I don't have to worry so much about getting paid every day, so of course it's no problem at all."

Ning Hao raised his eyebrows and said a witty remark: "If you compare making a movie to marrying a wife, then only those bachelors who have never married a wife will think about it day and night.

"With people like us who have multiple wives, who would think about these things every day?"

Wei Wu laughed loudly, patted his shoulder and said:

"Take it easy, if my sister-in-law hears this, you will suffer a lot!"

In fact, Ning Hao's wife Xing Aina is also an insider and a professional screenwriter. From "Green Grass" in 2005 to "Crazy Alien" in 2019, she participated in the screenwriting work of almost all of Ning Hao's movies.

She graduated from Nortel in 2002, and she met Ning Hao at Nortel. The two got married after graduation. They are considered a husband and wife team, so their relationship has always been very good.

Wei Wu laughed for a while and then talked about the arrangement of "The Murderer":

"I plan to shoot your scene on the fifth day. If nothing else happens, it should start shooting in the second half of next year. Anyway, as long as you feel ready, we can start shooting at any time."

Ning Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I can do whatever I want."

Wei Wu was also going to talk to him about the movie: "Where exactly will it be shot? Do you have any ideas?"

Ning Hao thought for a while and said: "The place where the story happened should be a remote mountainous area in the southwest. How about Qiannan?"

Wei Wu took over: "Okay, the background of my story is almost a remote mountainous area in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. By then, the protagonists can all speak Southwest Mandarin."

In fact, this is really not a lie by Wei Wu, because this incident is adapted from real events, and in reality Liupanshui is located in the Wumeng Mountains in western Guizhou, at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

However, this movie in the previous life was filmed in Dongchuan County in northeastern Yunnan.

After all, it is adapted from real events, so of course it has to be avoided to avoid being too directional, so it can only be placed next door to save filming.

Since the author of the script said so, Ning Hao of course followed the good advice:

"Okay, then I will go to Qiannan to take a look and find a suitable small county town to take pictures!"

"Okay, you can figure it out yourself anyway." Wei Wu nodded and asked:

"What are your thoughts on actors? Song Laoer, do you have any suitable candidates?"

If filming starts next year, Song Laoer will definitely have to be replaced.

Because the character Song Laoer in the script is a middle-aged car repair shop owner in his 40s.

The movie "Previous Life" was filmed 9 years later, and Liu Ye is too young now, his temperament doesn't quite match him, and it's impossible for him to have such an old son.

However, Wei Wu has no plans to replace the role of Dong Xiaofeng.

On the one hand, Zhang Yi's performance is indeed brilliant, and the key point is that Zhang Yi's age is not a problem.

Assuming that the drama starts filming next year, Zhang Yi will be 29 years old next year. The age set for this character is twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

And Dong Xiaofeng, a five-star killer, is originally a person who feels that he has no brains, is impulsive and immature. Being a little younger is a plus for him.

Ning Hao scratched his head and said, "You really confused me with this question. After much thought, I didn't seem to find a particularly suitable candidate.

"Song Laoer is a 40-year-old owner of a township car repair shop. He lost his wife in his early years and raised a teenage son alone.

"He is tall and strong. He has served as a soldier. He is upright and stubborn. He can do anything but never make a fuss. He is not popular in the village.

"But when I turned on the TV two days ago, it happened to be playing the episode of "Dragon Movie", the battle at Juxian Village..."

Wei Wu naturally heard the string and knew its elegant meaning: "You mean... Hu Jun?"

"Yeah." Ning Hao nodded and asked with a somewhat expectant expression:

"Hu Jun was born in 1968 and will be almost 39 next year. How about it? Do you think he can do it?"

Wei Wu thought for a while and said, "Okay, then send him an audition invitation. What about Dong Xiaofeng?"

Ning Hao shook his head and said, "I am mainly thinking about the male protagonist Song Laoer during this period, and I haven't had time to think about other roles yet."

Wei Wu took advantage of the situation and said: "Wang Baoqiang and Chen Sicheng previously filmed a military-themed drama called "Soldier Assault". It has just been aired. The actor who plays Shi Jin in it, you can pay a little attention to it."

"Okay, I'll focus on it later."

Ning Hao hasn't heard of this show yet, but since the boss said it, he still has to watch it.

But it doesn’t really matter whether you watch it or not. After all, Ning Hao also knew that Wei Wu was always terrible at judging people.

If he wants to say that a certain actor is suitable for this role, there is no doubt that it must be quite suitable.

"What about Wang Youquan and Yang Shuhua?"

Ning Hao thought for a while and replied: "Wang Youquan, I don't have a candidate for the moment, boss, how about you help recommend one?

"But Yang Shuhua, that new actress who can give us Shu culture, seems to be called Zhao Liying, right?"

Wei Wu nodded: "Yes, Zhao Liying, let's decide on her for the time being.

"Actually, I do have a candidate for Wang Youquan. His name is Zhang Yu. He is 24 years old and he happens to be from southern Guizhou. I will ask him to come over later and let you take a look."

Naturally, Ning Hao had no objection: "Okay, then I'll just wait for the good news."

The reason why Wei Wu thought of Zhang Yu was mainly because of "The Unknown", because this movie happened to be filmed in southern Guizhou.

Wei Wu felt that Hu Guangsheng inside was, in a sense, the same kind of person as Wang Youquan.

An unemployed young man in his early twenties who came from a rural area, spends his days sneaking around, has high ambitions but low ambitions, likes to brag, wants to save face, has no direction in life, and yearns for loyalty in the world.

Even Li Hongwei is almost there, but the actor Aruna was born in 1993 and is only 13 years old now, so he definitely can’t act!
