Chapter 136 Progress
Xu Guang was also with Zhao Rong when he came to the company, and the two walked into Xinghui Pictures while chatting.
..
Ye Xinghui looked at the clock above his head countless times, and it wasn't until nine o'clock that he finally waited for them.
"Teacher Zhao Rong, Xu Guang, please sit down first and I'll pour you tea!" Ye Xinghui said as he stood up to pour tea.
Zhao Rong waved his hand: "No, no need to say more polite words, bring me the script!"
Secretary Xiaoling, who was standing not far away, stepped forward and handed the script to Zhao Rong.
"Mr. Zombie"
The story background of the script is set in the early years of the war in the Tang Dynasty. The late father of Ren Fa, a wealthy country squire, used coercion and inducement to obtain a piece of Feng Shui treasure land. After being instructed by a Feng Shui master, the grave must be moved twenty years later in order to benefit his descendants.
Ren Fa invited Uncle Jiu, a well-known local Taoist priest, and his two apprentices to relocate the body. Unexpectedly, the corpses had turned into zombies, and a fierce battle began.
The name of the script made Zhao Rong's palms tremble. It was obvious that he had heard similar legends.
As the content was turned over page by page, and all the characters scrambled to take shape in the brief description, Zhao Rong paid more and more attention to the script.
According to some of his understanding, it seems that this kind of legend is mostly spread from Xiangxi. It stands to reason that only the older generation can know half of it. Even he, an old man in his late seventies, may not know the details.
, how does my disciple know this?
Zhao Rong raised his head and asked: "Did you write it?"
Ye Xinghui nodded, and then said: "Teacher, how do you like this script?"
Even Xu Guang looked over.
You must know that Xinghui Pictures has been committed to the TV drama industry before. If it can also make achievements in movies, then for itself, there will be greater room for advancement in the future.
As long as you have an eye, you can see the popularity of the current movie market. In the past, it was not possible to release a movie that exceeded 100 million yuan a year. In the first half of this year, three movies have exceeded 100 million yuan, and in July and August, one movie has exceeded 200 million yuan.
The movie has blinded a large number of people.
Unfortunately, with the increase in box office, the investment threshold for those movies has also become higher. For TV drama directors like Xu Guang, it has become a luxury to hope for investment in filming movies.
But Xinghui Pictures is different. It is a company. As long as the film company itself has the ability to shoot movies, as the second contracted director, I can apply for a small-cost head office.
Zhao Rong glanced at their faces and knew what they were thinking.
"The script is good, but just because it's good, it's not that easy to film it well!"
Ye Xinghui had expected this and quickly assured him: "Teacher, don't worry, I need people and money. As long as I can make this movie well, that's more important than anything else."
Zhao Rong was indifferent to his words. As a top director, he had heard these words countless times and was already able to remain motionless.
"There are only two main problems with this drama. The first is that it needs a leading actor who can hold the scene, and the second is that the filming location must be chosen appropriately. If we choose those film and television cities, this movie will not be filmed." Zhao
Rong threw out the problem.
On the one hand, he tested Ye Xinghui, and on the other hand, he also gave him some pointers.
Ye Xinghui narrowed his eyes.
In fact, he has arranged for the protagonist, Guo Ran. This candidate is very suitable in appearance and temperament for "Mr. Zombie". He is also just the right age, he is a martial artist, and his acting skills are not to mention an experienced actor.
.
It was not without this consideration when he was asked to participate in "A Chinese Ghost Story".
He stood up and walked to his desk, took out Guo Ran's resume from the drawer and handed it to Zhao Rong.
Miaomiao's few words on his resume are basically his own evaluation of him.
"Guo Ran?"
Zhao Rong frowned when he saw this name. There was no such person in the film industry, that is to say, he was not a particularly famous star, or he was very famous and did not recognize him.
It wasn't until the martial arts, acting skills, and appearance came into his sight from his resume that he realized that this person was indeed the best choice, but there was also the most fatal problem.
"Xinghui, this person is not qualified enough to play the leading role!" Zhao Rong handed his resume back and said seriously.
Ye Xinghui raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and communicated with Xu Guang with his eyes.
"What is seniority? What is seniority?"
"Bullshit, fame, do you understand? Guo Ran is very qualified in many aspects, but no one knows him. Who will go to the cinema and buy tickets to watch his movies? Make an excellent movie and then lose everything.
?" Xu Guang whispered unhappily.
Blinking, Ye Xinghui looked back with understanding.
"Xinghui, why don't I recommend a first-tier movie star to you? How about Qi Zhengxian, his acting skills and appearance are top-notch, but his martial arts skills are a bit weak." Zhao Rong said.
His network of contacts is so vast that he can arrange for people just by thinking about it.
But Ye Xinghui could only refuse his kind offer. Guo Ran must be the absolute leading actor in "Mr. Zombie". Uncle Nine is him, and he is Uncle Nine.
Gritting his teeth, Ye Xinghui said boldly: "Teacher, can I ask Chen Xiaofei, the queen, to accompany the kidnappers? She plays Ren Tingting. With her reputation, I think everyone will be willing to buy tickets, right?"
"Is it worth it?" Xu Guang advised.
In his opinion, this is using the fame of female stars to flatter male stars.
"It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not. Xinghui Pictures must be on the same page. Besides, Ren Tingting is also the number one female movie star. Not only will she not lose her status, but if the movie has a good reputation, her reputation may be even higher and she can step into the front line.
Maybe a movie star." Ye Xinghui explained.
There is still a part of the reason in his heart that he cannot express. The actresses that the company highly recommends have all been analyzed by [Photon Data]. They are very photogenic. They are basically non-existent and are fine to watch in front of the TV. But when it comes to movies,
The screen becomes an ugly situation. At present, not only Chen Xiaofei's acting skills are qualified for the big screen, but Zhao Qiaoqiao is also good enough.
"Li Weiyang, Lin Yueru?" Zhao Rong said to himself.
Then I began to arrange the position of this beautiful girl in my mind, and it was indeed possible for the two to overlap.
Zhao Rong thought for a while and then ordered to Ye Xinghui: "Go and call Chen Xiaofei. We are bringing a camera over. Use it now!"
"good!"
Ye Xinghui didn't waste any time, picked up the phone and called the brokerage department, and then called Xu Jian, the manager of the logistics department.
..
Brokerage department lounge.
Chen Xiaofei is chatting with Jiang Xin and Li Shiyun.
The three of them are from the same company, and she doesn't have the consciousness to act like a big name. On weekdays, when company employees call her Sister Xiaofei, she will respond with a smile. So she gets along well with people in the company.
When Zhang Huaqing knocked on the door and came in, the three of them were chatting happily, leaning forward and backward.
"Manager Zhang?" Chen Xiaofei looked at Zhang Huaqing.
Jiang Xin and Li Shiyun also said hello.
"Chen Xiaofei goes to Mr. Ye's place. You can continue to rest. I won't disturb you anymore!"
Zhang Huaqing nodded, told Ye Xinghui's instructions and didn't stay any longer.
"You guys talk first, I'll go for a while!" Chen Xiaofei took her bag and stood up to leave.
Jiang Xin and Li Shiyun looked at each other.
A few minutes later.
Chen Xiaofei had already arrived outside Ye Xinghui's office, looked in the mirror, and then opened the door and walked in.
"Xinghui, Sister Chen, Director Xu?"
The people and things indoors look very different.
Not only was there an old man who looked familiar but didn't recognize him, but there was also the company's professional makeup artist Sister Chen, as well as director Xu who was supposed to be filming "Meteor Garden Part 2" and a brand new camera.
Ye Xinghui waved: "Xiaofei, come here." As he said this, he motioned for Chen Xiaofei to stand in front of the camera.
Although Chen Xiaofei had questions in her head, she still followed the instructions and came here.
Makeup artist Sister Chen opened the simple makeup bag and quickly applied makeup on her.
Zhao Rong walked behind the camera while looking at her body curves.
Chapter completed!
