Chapter 186 Boot
When Lin Zixuan saw this girl, he knew that things were right and the film was about to be turned on.
He came to the meeting. Wen Jun came back from Xiangjiang and didn't know how to convince the investors and brought back 3 million Hong Kong dollars. Currently, the funds on the books are abundant and the situation is very good.
Wen Jun only has one requirement, which is to start the computer as soon as possible, take some photos of things, and even if you cheat on investment, you must have some practical things.
"Are you here to audition? Don't sit here, come inside." Lin Zixuan greeted.
Ning Jing is only 20 years old. She has filmed several dramas and played some supporting roles. She is not a pure newcomer in the film industry, but she is not very famous.
She came unexpectedly. When she received a call from Gu Changning, she knew that there was such a crew and probably played a role of the era, and she knew nothing about the others.
The crew of "Sunny Days" is a bit well-known in the Beijing entertainment industry, but it is not very popular.
Jiang Wen’s first director also used a group of children who had never acted in the show, all of whom were half-baked and unreliable.
There are rumors in the circle that Jiang Wen became a director because no director asked him to act. Jiang Wen is famously difficult to deal with filming. Not only does he choose the role, but he can also change the role. If he is not a big director, he can't suppress him at all.
Lin Zixuan would not believe such rumors.
As far as he knows, Zhang Yimou had a movie that wanted to find Jiang Wen, but was rejected by Jiang Wen. He wanted to make a movie himself and enjoy it.
"You are..." Ning Jing hesitated.
"I am the producer of this film. Come in with me." Lin Zixuan replied.
Ning Jing thought that this was a regular hotel, and this person should not be a liar, so she got up from the sofa and walked over.
Although she had never seen Jiang Wen, she had also heard that Jiang Wen was difficult to cooperate with. Everyone in the Chinese film industry knew that Jiang Wen was the director this time. She neither wanted to give up this opportunity, and she was also very worried.
She just sat on the sofa, and was engaging in a fierce ideological struggle, and even had the urge to leave.
"You don't have to be nervous. The audition is very simple. Director Jiang feels like he feels right." Lin Zixuan comforted.
There is a yard behind Shancheng Hotel, where the audition will be held.
Jiang Wen and Wen Jun are both here and are discussing the startup matter. Regardless of whether the heroine is sure or not, it is imperative to start the startup.
Wen Jun insisted on following the rules of Xiangjiang. In Xiangjiang, the crew not only had to choose auspicious days when they started the filming, but also had to burn incense and worship gods, prepare pork, fat chicken, fruit and other offerings, which were also indispensable.
In this way, the gods will bless the crew to start work smoothly and the film will be sold well.
People in Xiangjiang believe this, which is a feudal superstition in the mainland, and will be criticized in the 1980s. Fortunately, it is the 1990s, and the country will not take much care of it.
Lin Zixuan felt that since he was looking for a good omen, there was no need to cause conflicts about it, so he agreed.
Wen Jun took out a calendar from his bag and looked it up for a long time. He determined that the sixth day of the seventh lunar month was a good day, that is, August of the Gregorian calendar. A week later, that day happened to be the end of the summer heat of the twenty-four solar terms.
After doing this, Jiang Wen remembered that he would have to audition.
In fact, he no longer has much hope for the heroine. He feels that the heroine he is looking for seems to be only in memory, or just a projection of the soul.
He thought that such a girl had existed before, but unfortunately, time passed, the 1970s had passed and could never be found again.
Jiang Wen asked Ning Jing to change into her 1970s clothes and walked around in a dining room of Shancheng Hotel. He was watching from the side.
At this time, Ning Jing didn't know how to act. Without scripts or lines, she just walked casually.
It was an afternoon in mid-August, with the curtains opening and the sun shining in from outside. A girl walked between the tables and chairs in the dining room, not knowing what to do, without any purpose.
Lin Zixuan couldn't see anything at the beginning, and he was a little bored.
Until Ning Jing stood by the window and looked out the window, as if the sun was stabbed in her eyes, she reached out and placed her hand on her forehead to block her. She was bathed in the sun and felt as if she was integrated with the sun.
At this moment, there is a kind of oil painting beauty.
More than ten minutes later, Jiang Wen called Ning Jing and asked her to go back first and wait for the notice.
"How is it?" Lin Zixuan asked after Ning Jing left.
"It's okay, it's unique." Jiang Wen commented.
Although it has not met the standards he thinks, Ning Jing has something unique. Ordinary girls will always compare after seeing it. They think that this girl looks like someone, and it looks very similar to a certain star.
Ning Jing is not like any star, she is herself.
Moreover, Ning Jing had a plump figure and felt strong and healthy, which was in line with the characteristics of girls in the 1970s. The girls at that time were never gentle, dared to think and do, and were full of revolutionary passion.
At this time, Jiang Wen was still unsure of his mind.
From this point of view, we can see that this is his first time as a director. He has no experience and always wants to do his best, but is not good at making choices.
On the afternoon of August, the sun is shining.
The crew held a start-up ceremony, prepared incense tables, placed sacrifices, and wanted to burn incense and worship gods.
The mainland crew does not have this rule. Many crew members stand aside to watch the fun, and only the main people will burn incense.
Wen Jun led the way, followed by Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen, and Lin Zixuan stood beside him and acted.
"You must be more pious, and only God will bless you." Liu Xiaoqing whispered to Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen bowed everywhere with a serious look on his face. This was his first movie, so he naturally hoped to succeed.
Firecrackers rang out and fireworks filled the air.
"Sunny Days" finally started filming, and it was at this time that the heroine was given, which was Ning Jing.
Lin Zixuan thought this was quite interesting. This was clearly a story that happened in the capital. The male and female protagonists selected in the end were not from the capital. For this reason, Xia Yu and Ning Jing had to study the Beijing dialect, otherwise there would be no Beijing flavor.
The next day, I was filming in the swimming pool in Taoranting, Beijing. The weather was particularly good today, with blue sky and white clouds.
After filming the film, Jiang Wen asked the photographer to shoot the white clouds in the sky. This was an empty shot in the movie. After filming a box of film, he still had to continue shooting the white clouds.
Wen Jun, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore. It was not so wasteful. A box of film costs more than HKD.
"Wen Jun, this is my first time as a director, so just let me waste it." Jiang Wen said sincerely.
Wen Jun had arguing with him. If you continue shooting like this, you will definitely be overspent. There is no way to explain the film. Even if they invested in Jiang Wen, they can't do it so randomly.
In Xiangjiang, the only director who dares to shoot movies like this is Wang Jiawei.
As a producer, Wen Jun has a deep sense of powerlessness. Jiang Wen can always find reasons for what he does and use this reason to convince you to make him mess around.
When I was in New York, Lin Zixuan had become accustomed to this. It can be foreseen that the dispute between Jiang Wen and Wen Jun will continue. (To be continued.)
