Chapter 67 Invitation (17/58)

Big Lao Wang doesn't appear many times in "33 Days of Love Break", so he is a big supporting role, but Zhang Jiayi plays very well.

It cleverly interprets the image of a well-educated middle-aged man.

From the perspective of the actors, compared to Jiang Wen, Xu Hui prefers to use the original version of Zhang Jiayi.

Moreover, Zhang Jiayi was in the limelight in 2009. If I remember correctly, "The Snail House" should be broadcast in August...

But who is Jiang Wen?

The most core figure in the Beijing circle is not about qualifications or status. He was found by Lao Xu who called and tried hard to mess with him.

Xu Hui is not qualified to let him leave!

And to be honest, Xu Hui also wanted to see with his own eyes how Jiang Wen handled such a character who was not like a tycoon in the world at all.

Xu Jinglei glanced at Xu Hui and said coquettishly: "Aren't our screenwriter here? You just need to ask him to change the script a little!"

It makes sense, but I was speechless.

"Xiao Xu, what do you say?"

Jiang Wen probably really likes the story of "33 Days of Love Break", or he wants to help Xu Jinglei and look at Xu Hui.

"...Of course, we can change the living habits of the character Da Lao Wang. My original preset image is a middle-aged man with experience. He likes to drink tea. We can change it to smoking or playing with walnuts..."

The role is close to the actors, which is the instinct of the screenwriter.

Many times, directors cannot get the actors they like, so they can only make do with a few substitutes.

In order to make the characters more in line with the plot, the screenwriter will frequently modify them.

Xu Hui also did this kind of work back then, so he is familiar with it.

"Okay! I'll take this role!"

Just listening to Xu Hui's description, you will know that he will re-assign this role according to his own requirements.

The biggest problem was solved, and Jiang Wen became more and more pleased with Xu Hui.

Although Jiang Wen has not acted much in recent years, he has always been paying attention to the film industry and studying public preferences.

He said more than once, "Let the Bullets fly" is just anger. I want the audience to understand that I, Lao Jiang, cannot make movies that everyone likes!"

How can everyone like it?

It's a commercial film, but Jiang Wen's self-esteem does not allow him to shoot commercial films with very simple plots, and he wants to play a bigger game.

...

"…Xiao Xu, can I ask you something?"

As he was eating, Jiang Wen suddenly asked.

"Cough...of course."

It is hard to imagine that Jiang Wen was so polite. In my impression, Jiang Wen’s temper was no better than Feng Xiao. It was common for him to argue with reporters and peers.

"How do you study the market? Or, how do you judge whether a movie will attract attention?"

Can't hold it in, Jiang Wen still raised his own doubts.

It is said that commercial films should be popular, but what does popularization mean?

Good people defeat bad people, prince saves princes?

Are there any movies on the market that particularly subversively views?

Xu Hui seemed to have a kind of magic, from "The Embroidered Spring Sword" to "Those Years" to this "33 Days of Love Break".

After a brief look at the script, Jiang Wen had almost concluded that this was another commercial film with a good box office.

Why can't I come across such a good book?

He really wanted to open Xu Hui's mind and see what he was thinking.

He messed up two movies in a row, and Jiang Wen felt sorry for the investors no matter how unrelated he didn't care.

"Brother Jiang Wen, first of all, the market has changed. Now the focus is on entertainment first. Movies that are too idealistic will not be welcomed! I know that true filmmakers certainly want to shoot movies that reflect their ideas, but the audience's viewing level is very low and they cannot think too smart."

"No wonder, I said your book has no dramatic impact!"

Jiang Wen is a student of the Central Academy of Drama. He became famous at a young age. He has his own ideas and his own inertial routines when making movies.

"This is a down-to-earth urban love light comedy, and there is no need for that kind of specially created dramatic conflict!"

Where does so many conflicts come from in real life? They are all adults. Even if they break up, they rarely contact their ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends.

Jiang Wen was silent for a few minutes and changed the topic: "By the way, what do you think of the Republic of China?"

"The Republic of China? People are not having a living, what else can they think of it!"

Xu Hui replied casually, suddenly thought of something, and waited for Jiang Wen to speak with some anticipation.

"I want to make a movie from the Republic of China. Come and help you play a role!"

"OK!"

Xu Hui nodded quickly and agreed.

This thing must be agreed, it must be "Let the Bullets Fly"!

Two thousand years later, the best work among domestic films should be this "Let the Bullets Fly". The roles that can be played in are Xu Hui's glory.

Unfortunately, he is not old enough, otherwise he would really have to try Huang Silang or Ma Bond...

"…You didn't even read the notebook, so you agreed directly?"

"Look at what you said, being able to participate in Brother Jiang Wen's movies is something that many actors dream of!"

Xu Hui licked his face and praised him.

"Okay, it's much more convenient to invest with you."

There is nothing wrong with this.

Jiang Wen invited Xu Hui to participate in his movies. In addition to being a little capable, he was more considering investing.

Reality is right in front of you. If a drama is directed and acted by Jiang Wen, investors may have to repeatedly confirm the plot and study the possible benefits before they can decide whether they will invest in the drama. However, if a movie is directed by Jiang Wen and starring Xu Hui, no matter what the plot, there are more people who want to invest!

Even if Xu Hui is just a supporting role, the effect will not be much worse.

This is the position of an actor with box office appeal in the minds of the financial owners!

The film industry is so realistic!

"The movie I want to make is called "Let the Bullets Fly", which is simply the story of bandits robbing bullies."

After taking a look at Xu Jinglei, Jiang Wen briefly introduced "Let the Bullets Fly".

“Is there no role for me?”

“…This is really not.”

Jiang Wen struggled for a few seconds, and then gave up on inviting Xu Jinglei.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the three of them left the club, and Xu Hui was still riding in Lao Xu's nanny car.

Maybe after an experience, Xu Jinglei let go a lot. She hugged Xu Hui, who liked this kind of active sister the most...

That night, Xu Hui stopped in the director's room.

...

Jiang Wen only gave Xu Jinglei three days.

He is also busy preparing for "Let the Bullets Fly".

Therefore, the shooting of Jiang Wen concentrated on these three days.

Early in the morning, Xu Hui walked out of the director's room.

It is a bit unimaginable that Old Xu, who has always been a literary young woman, knows so many postures, and there are several types of Xu Hui that have never heard of.

Afterwards, Lao Xu explained that he saw it from the book.

It seems that reading a lot of books can indeed help you understand a lot of things that ordinary people don’t know.

It was a very crazy night, and it was not until three o'clock in the morning that Paohui whispered mercy at Old Xu and sent her to rest.

After all, I've been holding it in for almost a month.

Abstinence improves his combat effectiveness!
