Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth
Chapter 139 Chapter 139: Jiang Wen
Feng Xiaogang came out of the Beijing Olympics Bidding Committee with the script, and he was still a little confused.
At this moment, I got a good script again, but the pressure is relatively high. This is a promotional video for the Olympic bid. It can't be shot without any details. When the time comes, I won't be able to afford it.
But the opportunity is good! The script is good, and there is a possibility of overseas distribution. This time the filming is completed, and there is a ride on it.
He didn't really care about the Olympic bid committee's request for Shanhe to join the crew. It would also be helpful for him to have the screenwriter follow the on-site shooting. After all, the screenwriter is the one who knows the script best.
The schedule of "Big Shot" has to be postponed, so go home and read the script clearly!
Looking at Feng Xiaogang's leaving figure, Shanhe was a little bit embarrassed to have come into contact with him so quickly!
In the history of the development of Chinese films in later generations, Feng Xiaogang is an indispensable figure.
For a long time, he was basically the banner of single-handedly resisting Chinese commercial films.
Shanhe has no objection to the choice of China Film and the Olympic Bid Committee. At this time, Feng Xiaogang will be the director of "Run!" in China. The director of "Dad" is the most suitable.
Shanhe is looking forward to joining Feng Xiaogang’s crew!
Time is tight and the task is heavy!
The next day, Feng Xiaogang began to form the crew, and Shanhe also joined in the preparations.
"Shanhe, the script is written so smoothly. A good script can ease a director's work! I don't even have to draw all the shots, I just follow your script!" Feng Xiaogang praised Shanhe with a smile.
Shanhe waved his hand and responded: "Director Feng, I am very interested in movies, but I am not familiar with them. You don't need to praise me, I can only help you with the script!"
"You are a great writer. Writing scripts is really an underachievement. To be honest, I want to make every one of your books into a movie. Unfortunately, the situation does not allow it. Among the domestic movies now, only comedies can still have some box office success!" Feng Xiaogang said with a look on his face. He said sadly to Shanhe.
Shanhe nodded to express his understanding, "Director Feng, a hero can only show his true qualities when the seas cross the sea. Your persistence is very admirable! I believe that more Chinese directors will stand up and support the world of Chinese-language films!"
"I hope so!" Feng Xiaogang pulled Shanhe into the room, "Shanhe, our most important task next is to identify actors. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Director Feng, you are more familiar with the film and television industry. Please tell me your candidates first, and I will make some suggestions!" Shanhe replied with a smile.
"Okay, let's sit down and talk!" Feng Xiaogang pulled out the chair and invited Shanhe to take a seat. "I thought about it last night. The male protagonist is the eye of the show. We must find a suitable actor to play him. He must have some momentum and good temperament. It’s a bit joyful, Ge You is full of joy, but the image is not suitable, and he doesn’t look like an athlete. I really can’t find a suitable one for a while!”
"What do you think of Jiang Wen?" Shanhe said casually.
"Jiang Wen!" Feng Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, "It's OK. He also has a schedule and is banned from directing. But he is not easy to deal with. He can let out anything with his mouth!"
"Haha!" Shanhe laughed, "Director Feng, are you familiar with Jiang Wen? You can ask him to give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll find someone else!"
"They all belong to the same circle, and they are all from Beijing. How can we not be familiar with each other? If he plays the leading role, you have to be mentally prepared. It will be very difficult, but he is really suitable! I'll give him his phone number Yeah! I guess he's paralyzed at home!" Feng Xiaogang picked up the phone and dialed.
"Hey, old ginger?"
"Who are you! If you have something to say, please tell me!"
"I, Xiaogang, Lao Jiang, are you staying at home?"
"You, where can I stay if I don't stay at home! If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I'm so annoyed!"
"Come here if you have nothing to do. If you have something good to do, it will save you the trouble of being annoying at home!"
"Why don't I believe that you can do good things for me? Are you just trying to laugh at me?"
"Hey! I envy you before it's too late. I'm looking at your joke. Hurry up. It's really a good thing!"
"Fine!"
Feng Xiaogang put down the phone and said to Shanhe: "He'll be here in a minute. His home is half an hour's drive from here. I guess he'll have to take a taxi! The male lead will do this first. The female lead and sister are easy to choose. There are many candidates. The Olympic Bidding Committee What are your requirements?"
"Try to find a well-known one! As expected, this film will be distributed overseas. Director Feng, on the basis of maintaining quality, you have to try your best to make it understandable to foreigners!" Shanhe replied.
Feng Xiaogang nodded and thought for a while, "This is something, I have to think about it! When you talk about famous people, Zhang Ziyi is the first choice. She has been doing well in Hollywood recently. She just played a big role in Jackie Chan's movie some time ago. Female supporting role!”
"Director Feng, can you contact her, or I will ask the Olympic Bid Committee to find her?" Shanhe asked.
"It would be better for the Olympic bid committee to come forward!" Feng Xiaogang grinned, "I heard that she is not easy to get along with. This is great. The crew will have fun watching it in the future!"
Shanhe was amused by Feng Xiaogang's teasing, "Haha, Director Feng, don't worry too much. This movie has special circumstances. China Film and the Olympic Bid Committee are the producers, so nothing can happen!"
"That's true!"
More than half an hour later, Shanhe and Feng Xiaogang were analyzing the character traits of the male and female protagonists when they heard an urgent knock on the door.
"Lao Jiang is here, let's go to the living room to greet him!"
Feng Xiaogang and Shanhe walked out of the study and opened the door. A strong figure rushed in, "Why are you so slow? Hey, isn't this that person?"
Shanhe looked at this famous and controversial director and actor.
He was wearing a dark down jacket, with a strong aura, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hanging on his slender cheeks. His eyes were still sharp and compelling through the glass!
"Hello, Director Jiang, I'm Shanhe, nice to meet you!" Shanhe introduced himself with his right hand.
Jiang Wen looked at Feng Xiaogang doubtfully and extended his right hand, "Is there anyone in the cultural circle who doesn't know you? Hello, I'm Jiang Wen!"
Without waiting for Feng Xiaogang to speak, Jiang Wen continued to ask: "How did you get together with Xiaogang? I can't believe it unless you tell me!"
"Hey! Jiang Wen, you said that! What do you mean by hanging out with me? What's wrong with me? I'm also a cultural person, okay!" Feng Xiaogang became poor unwillingly.
Jiang Wen glanced at Feng Xiaogang, "Educated people also have class!"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Xiaogang was knocked out, and he could only point directly at Jiang Wen and yell, "Jiang Wen, you are such a grandson. You are trying to bully me all day long. I am really embarrassed. He is the only one who doesn't want to see me." And you!"
"I just like to tell the truth. I don't care whether you like to hear it or not!" Jiang Wen didn't take Feng Xiaogang's scolding seriously, "Shanhe, why did you ask Xiaogang to call me over? All I can do now is Actors and directors have had nothing to do with me in the past few years!"
"Director Jiang, Director Feng and I want you to read the script first. We can decide whether to act or not later!" Shan He handed the script to Jiang Wen.
"Lao Jiang, you have to watch it carefully. Don't be fooled. The producers of this drama are China Film and Beijing Olympics Bid Committee." Feng Xiaogang rolled his eyes and reminded.
Jiang Wen looked at Shanhe in surprise after hearing this.
Shanhe nodded to him.
Jiang Wen didn't say anything, picked up the script and walked towards the study.
"Come on! This man is not that fast. I'll prepare lunch. Shanhe, do you have any dietary restrictions?" Feng Xiaogang asked Shanhe.
"Director Feng, let me go with you! We can chat on the way."
At noon, the two returned to Feng Xiaogang's studio carrying several fast food boxes.
"Old Jiang, come out to eat first, and then read after you finish eating!" Feng Xiaogang greeted the study after the two set out the food.
After a while, Jiang Wen walked out of the study, "Did Shan He write this script? His skills are so good, and it's so smooth that you won't want to put it down!"
Feng Xiaogang laughed when he heard this, "Heroes see the same thing. I just told Shanhe the same way. Old Jiang, how many times have you read?"
"It's less than half, a little more than a third. Do you want me to try Li Changchun?" Jiang Wen walked to the table and sat down.
Shanhe nodded, "Director Jiang, what do you think of this character?"
Jiang Wen politely picked up his chopsticks and put vegetables into the fast food box, "Li Changchun is a recognizable character. To be honest, it's not easy to act. He is a retired athlete who came from the countryside. He later worked as a physical education teacher for more than ten years. He is still He is a track and field coach with a cute and straightforward personality. He is a pure character, but his multiple identities are difficult to interpret!"
"Old Jiang, if you don't want to act, we can find someone else. Time is tight and we don't have time to waste time with you!" Feng Xiaogang choked Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen swallowed the food in his mouth and responded: "I didn't say I won't act, I'll tell you after reading the script!"
After lunch, Jiang Wen continued to go back to the study to read the script, while Shanhe and Feng Xiaogang left the studio respectively. Shanhe had to ask someone from the Olympic bid committee to contact Zhang Ziyi.
Feng Xiaogang is going to summon his old friends, and he is also going to China Film and Television to discuss specific investments with Han Shanping.
Shanhe found He Jining and explained to him the criteria and candidates for selecting actors.
"Zhang Ziyi, right? I'm looking for Mr. Han. Don't worry, you can finish the movie and leave the rest to me!"
It feels so good to have support!
Shanhe took advantage of his free time to take the final makeup photos of the image ambassador.
By the time he left the studio, it was already half past four in the afternoon.
Shanhe hurried to Feng Xiaogang's studio.
When Shanhe arrived, Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang were sitting around the coffee table.
"Shanhe, why are you later than me? Why! Zhang Ziyi is more difficult to serve than our Director Jiang!" Feng Xiaogang joked.
"I'm going to finish the image ambassador work while I have free time. I keep putting it off. What arrangements does the director have for the actors?" Shanhe walked to the coffee table and sat down. "How is it? Director Jiang has made a decision?"
Jiang Wen put down the melon seeds on his hand and clapped his hands, "I've finished reading the script. It's very well written, but it's not deep enough and there's not enough conflict. Everything is so perfect and seems a bit fake! How about we change it?"
"Old Jiang, I knew you were going to do this. This is a promotional video for the Olympic bid committee. You are out of your mind. There is not enough conflict. Do you want to kill Li Changchun and Li Xiaoxia cry bitterly on the championship stage? !" Feng Xiaogang said angrily to Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wencan laughed a few times and said, "It's a bit more conflict. It's just inspirational and passionate. I forgot about it after reading it. It's not meaningful enough. Shanhe, does what I said make sense?"
"Director Jiang, we have nothing to say about this. This script has been approved by the Olympic Bid Committee. Director Jiang, it is not wrong to be entertaining. There is no need to make it obscure and depressing!" Shanhe responded.
"Lao Jiang, please give me a sweet word! I'm not bragging, you may not be able to find such a good script this year!" Feng Xiaogang shouted from the side with a grin.
Jiang Wen touched the bridge of his nose and said, "Okay, I'll take it. It's just a bit of a pity. What a pity for such a great script!"
Feng Xiaogang rolled his eyes at Jiang Wen and said, "Just accept it. Let's talk ugly first. In this movie, Lao Jiang, you are the starring role and I am the director. Don't go to the scene and you are already the director. I'll go Be the lead actor!"
Jiang Wen glanced at Feng Xiaogang disdainfully, "Even if I were the director, you can't be the leading actor. If you don't look in the mirror, are you the material?"
Feng Xiaogang was so crowded that he gritted his back teeth and said, "Don't you dare not believe me? Sooner or later I have to show you the leading actor!"
Jiang Wen curled his lips and smiled, "Then you have to wait. When the film school opens a class for the blind, your chances will be great!"
Shanhe couldn't help being amused by the two's poor words, and burst into laughter.
In the midst of joking, Jiang Wen has basically decided on the male lead. He is going to experience the track and field team and the school for a period of time to get a feel for the character.
"Do you want Zhang Ziyi to be the heroine?" Jiang Wen asked.
Shanhe explained to Jiang Wen: "Director Jiang, there is a high probability that our drama will be distributed overseas. Zhang Ziyi is the most suitable. She has heroic spirit and tenacity in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!"
"This is still a preliminary decision. Except for you Jiang Wen, I think everyone else will have to try it out. Then the three of us will have a look together!" Feng Xiaogang added at the side.
"Director Feng, has China Film's investment been decided? How much will it be?" Shanhe asked.
Feng Xiaogang smiled bitterly, "I waited in their audit department for almost an hour today, and I didn't receive any news. China Film is really awesome!"
"It's better for me to find Director He. It's more convenient for the Olympic bid committee. Director Jiang, the salary this time may not be as high as your previous one. I'd like to say hello to you first!"
Jiang Wen waved his hand, "I don't care much about money. I have money, so that's pretty much it! To be honest, I feel very comfortable doing something for the Olympic bid!"
