Chapter 110 Hot Search Romance
Meng Ying met with director Chen Heyun and screenwriter Su Qingli. The three of them found a Japanese tavern in a deep alley to gather for a while while chatting about the script. The script was very complete. The entire script is being shot, and script reading is about to begin. This is the second time Meng Ying has participated in the creation of a movie, but it is the first time in the true sense.
Although he is the assistant director, he also holds a very important position in the crew. Meng Ying held the paper script with sweat in her palms.
She was a newcomer, and she was listening more to Chen Heyun and Su Qingli's expansion of the details of the script. She held a black pen and occasionally added a few sentences after taking notes.
Su Qingli is also a very professional screenwriter, but this is her transformation. Most of her previous works were mainly fairy tales and romances. This time she dabbled in suspense themes, and she also did her best. I did my homework well, but there are also some shortcomings.
From Meng Ying's point of view, the script is relatively complete, with almost no obvious logical problems and very few flaws. There is still some time before production starts, and it can be polished a little more.
Chen Heyun is relatively easy to get along with.
It's not that he is easy to get along with. He just regards the filming of this movie as a task to complete, and Meng Ying, the assistant director, is also an arrangement within the task. He accepts it reasonably, without being picky or critical.
Get along as colleagues.
Meng Ying has seen Chen Heyun's works in her early years. He is actually a very talented director, but he has lowered his head to reality. In recent years, he has been immersed in commercial bad movies, but this cannot be denied. Previous results.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Heyun answered a phone call and packed the LV briefcase. He smiled at Su Qingli and Meng Ying, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. That's all for today, our movie. The budget is not big, so don’t put any pressure on it. Just finish it normally. As for the script, I think it can be polished a little. After all, it is a two-hour movie. What the audience wants to watch is excitement, suspense, and not excitement. , how can we attract the audience?"
He lit a cigarette and put it to his lips, without smoking, the smoke curled up, "To put it more simply, as an audience member, when I pay to go to a movie, there must be something worth a ticket. Well, the current environment is not good. If you only have five or sixty-one movie tickets, you might as well go out for a barbecue and a drink. Qingli, Xiao Meng, what do you think?"
Meng Ying nodded. "Teacher Chen is right."
Su Qingli, "Then I will think about it when I go back, but I am afraid that I have added an exciting plot, in terms of review."
Chen Heyun's mobile phone again When the sound rang, someone urged him on the other end. A man's voice sounded. Chen Heyun took a puff of cigarette and quickly coaxed, "Okay, okay, baby, I'll be there soon."
He looked at Su Qingli and said, "On the review side, I will control the plot during the actual shooting. That's it for now. I have to leave while you guys chat."
The tavern is Japanese style.
The environment on the second floor is relatively quiet. There are not many people in the afternoon, but it is very suitable for gathering and chatting for a while. Meng Ying glanced at the time, and she was ready to leave, but Su Qingli pulled her and chatted about the plot for a while, and the two added WeChat.
Su Qingli glanced around and saw that there was no one around. Then she approached Meng Ying and whispered, "Hey, did you hear Director Chen's call just now? It was a man, or a young man. "Sound, I've heard this gossip before, but it's not a secret. Director Chen is for both men and women."
Meng Ying took a sip of sake.
Fruity and coughing.
The smell of alcohol is not strong.
She glanced at the menu, which said Muchun peach-flavored green fruit wine, with an alcohol content of 3%. The taste of early spring peach is very strong on the lips and teeth, but there is a faint taste of peach essence.
She nodded, in response to Su Qingli's question.
In the entertainment industry, it is indeed not a rare thing, and Meng Ying is not very interested in other people's privacy. After chatting with Su Qingli for a few gossips, she went back to the script.
"Do you know who the male and female protagonists are? I previously recommended a male protagonist to Producer Song, but the other party rejected him. I felt that he was a low-profile actor and would affect the reputation of the plot. For the promotion of our movie, they wanted to take the long-tail route of reputation. "Rejecting all traffic, and the salary budget is not enough, our director Chen's directing fee accounts for one-third of the total salary."
The male lead in this drama is second-tier, and the female lead is third-tier, but the acting skills are not enough. They are all good, and they can be regarded as powerful ones. It does not fall into the traffic category.
Meng Ying received the specific list of actors a week ago. Whether it is the male and female protagonists or several important supporting roles, they were all roles won in the audition. The male protagonist Lin Luochuan, the female protagonist Jiang Nanxu and several others The audition videos of the supporting roles were also sent to Meng Ying's mailbox.
Meng Yingman admired Chen Heyun because after reading the script and watching the audition video, she was able to fully immerse herself in the role.
The outside world judged him to be one of the worst director's masterpieces in recent years. He won two Golden Broomsticks in a row, and the media criticized him as useless.
But just through casting, Meng Ying felt that Chen Heyun's vision was indeed sophisticated.
You can see through the essence of an actor at a glance and quickly match him with a suitable role.
"Meng Ying, are you a native of Hongjiang City?"
"Yes." Meng Ying nodded.
Because the crew had to shoot in Hongjiang City for a month, Su Qingli also came to Hongjiang City in advance.
“I’m from Qingcheng. Producer Song asked me to follow the whole process of this drama. I don’t want to stay in a hotel. It’s too boring to stay there for a month. Do you have any recommendations for renting a house? I’ll go there tonight. I’ll treat you to a meal, just to get acquainted. After all, we will be together for the next month.”
“Butterfly Apartment,” Meng Ying said, “I live here too, it should still be here. There are many rooms for rent, the price is very high, and the surrounding environment is also good. This apartment is a commercial apartment, located in Block B of Yintai Plaza, and the traffic flow around it is a bit mixed.”
Meng Ying is a. Su Qingli is a very slow-tempered person, but she is very familiar with it.
I contacted the real estate agent that night and signed a rental contract.
He took Meng Ying's hand and said enthusiastically that he wanted to treat her to dinner.
Thanks to her for helping me solve this problem.
Before Meng Ying could nod in agreement, she took her hand and went to the food area on the fifth floor of the shopping mall. She had a carefree personality, so Meng Ying had no choice but to smile and follow her.
In the evening, there were many people in the shopping mall eating place, and it was almost full. The two of them did not choose, and came to a Chinese restaurant that did not require a queue.
While sitting down to wait for the meal, I heard Su Qingli’s voice.
"Oh my God, Meng Ying! The hot search has exploded. Marriage between top wealthy families~! It looks so awesome!"
Meng Ying subconsciously said, "What a hot search."
"Look, someone below found out that the woman is the mayor's daughter. Tsk tsk tsk, one business and one government, this is too good." Su Qingli is a screenwriter of female videos. At this moment, the love factor directly pulls Exploded, "This is ready-made good material. Don't tell me, this Mr. Liang is really handsome, his profile is so charming."
Meng Ying was not interested in gossip at first.
Love melon is even less interested.
But seeing Su Qingli so excited, she was about to take out her mobile phone from her bag. When she heard this, her pupils shrank and she said, "Mr. Liang."
