Chapter 1185 The small universe is about to ignite
He fooled Lin Lingdong... No, after fooling him away, Cheng Xiaodong came.
He is the second person Wu Cheng needs to continue to fool. In fact, Cheng Xiaodong has been doing well over the years. After serving as a martial arts guide for "Shaolin Temple", he and Chen Xunqi shot a new martial arts film "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" with Chen Xunqi... However, this "new martial arts film" is slightly different from the new martial arts film "Huang Feihong Series" made by Xu Laoqi in the future.
Although the "Lu Xiaofeng Series" cooperating with Chen Xunqi and Cheng Xiaodong has the title of "new martial arts film", it is actually very different from the "Huang Feihong Series".
This difference lies not only in the actors but also in the action.
Chen Xunqi himself is not an action actor, and he is naturally worse than Li Lianjie in action scenes. Moreover, the background of the "Lu Xiaofeng Series" is in ancient times, and it is more about fighting from high to high. Although it is very elegant, it was brought by Wiya.
The movements of the "Huang Feihong Series" look elegant. Although it is credited with Wiya, it is more of the action style of the actors. Just like when the "Huang Feihong Series" was handed over to others to perform, it was not as good as Li Lianjie's style... Even Zhao Wenzhuo could not replace him.
Although the movie "Huang Feihong" filmed by Zhao Wenzhuo is also quite good, it feels different.
Therefore, Cheng Xiaodong is still quite famous in the Xiangjiang film industry, especially after the baptism of the "Shaolin Temple" trilogy and the success of the series of movies "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".
Therefore, his work will naturally not be missing.
However, Wu Cheng, the big boss, summoned him, and no matter how busy he was, he had to take time to come.
"Boss, are you asking me for something?"
"Well, what are you busy with recently?" Wu Cheng asked casually, then picked up a folder, got up and walked towards the rest seat beside him, "Come and sit!"
"I'm not busy with anything, except for making martial arts fingers for those action movies!" Cheng Xiaodong's tone sounded a little helpless.
By the way, although he is quite famous now, people who come to him are basically looking for him as a martial arts commander. There are very few people who come to him as a director.
So when it comes to his achievements in directorship, he himself feels a little bit terrible.
Wu Cheng smiled and handed him the folder in his hand, "I have a notebook here, you can take it and take a look. After the New Year, we will start filming! This time you will be the deputy director and action director!"
After pausing, he said again: "Of course, if you do a good job, if I think you can be the director of this drama, I don't mind letting you be the director!"
Cheng Xiaodong was stunned when he heard this, and then a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. But after being excited, he smiled bitterly with a little concern and said, "Boss, I feel very stressed when you are like this!"
Although he had a superior and subordinate relationship with Wu Cheng, he had a very pleasant cooperation with Wu Cheng before, so he dared to make these harmless jokes.
But this cannot be blamed for this. It should have been a film directed by Wu Cheng. If it really becomes him to direct it in the future, if it is not directed well, it will definitely disappoint Wu Cheng.
He vaguely felt that Wu Cheng was testing his directorial skills. Therefore, although this was an opportunity, if he failed, it would be difficult to become a director in the future.
"Boss, has the actor decided on this drama?"
This kind of problem is the first question that all directors will think of after getting the script.
Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "Apart from the male and female protagonists, nothing else has been decided. The female protagonist is Wang Xiaoxian and the male protagonist is myself. So I will be the starring actor at that time. If you direct well, then I don't mind being a purely actor. There are not many opportunities like this!"
This last sentence obviously carries a hint of "charming halo".
So, Cheng Xiaodong quickly reacted: [Actually, this is he trying to be lazy!]
But if you think about it carefully, although this master wants to be lazy, this is also an opportunity for him, Cheng. After all, this master who likes to be lazy still has the title of director. If the content he directs at that time cannot satisfy this master, this master can definitely push it back!
After thinking about it this way, Cheng Xiaodong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and became even more excited. No matter what, the deputy director must have stopped running away this time. As for the director, it depends on how capable he is. The most important thing is that Wu Cheng himself is the starring actor, which is something that countless directors can't even ask for!
Have you helped the old lady cross the road a little recently? God is open to his eyes?
He couldn't help but think nonsensely, maybe good people will always be rewarded!
Think about it, looking at the movies or TV series that this man participated in, all of them were directed by himself. He basically never participated in the movies directed by other directors, except for the movies he participated in when he first debuted.
So, Cheng Xiaodong felt that the small universe in his body was about to ignite.
"Boss, I suddenly feel full of energy and I will definitely work hard. If there is no other order, I will go back to read the script!" he said excitedly.
Wu Cheng raised his hand and smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. This drama will not start filming at least next year. There is still a lot of time to prepare for. As... well, at least the deputy director of this drama! You still have a lot of things to be busy with. First of all, it is the accounting of the shooting cost. With the help of the company, there will be no big problems. Then there is the casting issue of the crew. Although the male and female protagonists have been decided, the other roles have not been decided yet. I decided to leave these tasks to you. After the actors are selected, you can leave them to me for a look."
To be honest, in the entire "A Chinese Ghost Story", except for Wang Xiaoxian and Leslie Cheung who are impressive, the rest is probably the one with grandma's tongue.
Cheng Xiaodong nodded. As the deputy director of the crew, this kind of work is actually a matter of duty, and many deputy directors are not qualified yet!
"In addition to casting work, there is also the creation of the crew, the set of the crew, especially the selection of the outdoor scene. This work must be done by you, so you still have a lot of work." Wu Cheng looked serious and said, "Speaking of all, these work was originally my work, and I should have done it by me, so I would like to trouble you..."
"No trouble, no trouble... Boss, don't say that. I know this is the opportunity you gave me. How many people can't get it if they want such an opportunity! I am lucky. So I will definitely work hard to complete these things seriously, please rest assured by the boss!"
Cheng Xiaodong quickly patted his chest and said, "It's only a military order."
Is Cheng Xiaodong fooled by Wu Cheng? Not to mention this. In short, this kind of opportunity is rare for Cheng Xiaodong, who has always wanted to be a director... It can even be said that this kind of opportunity is a very rare opportunity for countless people who are already directors. Unless a limited number of directors who have already made a name for themselves and have just gathered their talents, they may ignore this opportunity.
So even though Wu Cheng was actually very likely to be lazy at this time, Cheng Xiaodong still patted his chest and quickly took over this "trouble" before talking about it.
There is only one chance. If you miss this time, who knows when the next time the man in front of you will become willful and go to become an actor?
Although he directs a drama every year now and is addicted to directors, he will not do things like being an actor often unless the heroines are his girlfriend's scenes.
In fact, the current situation is that even if his girlfriend is acting, he may not participate in it personally. Just like the film "Legend of Black 2" directed by Lin Qingxia and starring Zhong Chuhong, Wu Cheng asked them to try their best to compress the role of the male lead and then compress it, and then wait until their filming is completed after they finish their film promotion work.
Therefore, this kind of thing belongs to the matter of "after passing this village, you may not have that store". No matter how much work or whether you are tired or not, it is always right to take it first.
[We are a responsible man!]
Cheng Xiaodong thought proudly, then after chatting with Wu Cheng for a while, he hurriedly took the script away. He was now talking with energy.
Wu Cheng said he was relieved to be fooled.
In fact, there is nothing to worry about. Whether it is Cheng Xiaodong or Lin Lingdong before, these two easts must have the ability, and the original time and space have proved this. As long as they can do things with their heart, even if they can't satisfy him, they will definitely not be much worse.
And how can they not be attentive when doing things for him?
So he started to prepare for the promotional work of "God of Gamblers 2" with confidence.
The later production of "God of Gamblers 2" has been completed, and this movie is his first original work in this time and space. Therefore, he has to go to North America to watch the finished film in advance. If he is not satisfied with it, he has to change it as soon as possible.
...
After thinking about it, he picked up the phone and called Mixue.
"Hey, hello! Who?"
Nowadays, mobile phones do not have the function of caller ID.
"I am Wu Cheng, who are you?"
When Wu Cheng heard that it was not Mixue's voice coming from the other end of the phone, he asked.
Having said that, since the filming of "God of Gamblers 2", there has been very little connection between him and Mixue. But even if there is not much contact, Mixue's voice can still be heard.
"Huh? Brother-in-law... Oh, hello Wu Sheng! I'm Sherry, and I'm having a spa with my sister! Wait a moment, I'll give her the phone!"
In a beauty club, Sherry covered the phone and handed it to his sister, and said, "Brother-in-law is looking for you!"
"..." Mixue was stunned for a moment, then glared at her sister, "Mediating on other people's business, let's go away!"
Sherry smiled and handed her the phone number, saying, "I won't fight you together!"
Chapter completed!
