Chapter 128 Chicken Soup
Without feeling the sincerity of the organizers of the Chang C Film Festival, Wang Shu had no idea of going.
He has one and only one film "The Tuner" that meets the conditions and can be entered into the Long C Film Festival.
The Tuner has already won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes International Film Festival.
Therefore, as long as the organizers of the Chang C Film Festival do not award him the Best Feature Film and Best Director awards, there is no need for him to demote "The Tuner". Went to the Chang C Film Festival.
For a film that has already made some achievements in the three major European film festivals, and then goes to a film festival with a weak presence like the Chang C Film Festival, in addition to standing on the other side, it is standing on the other side.
In fact, even if the organizers of the Chang C Film Festival really decide that the best feature film and best director will be given to Wang Shu.
He still... doesn't want to go.
If it were the Chang C Film Festival more than ten years later, I would still be able to show up.
The current Chang C Film Festival really has no sense of existence.
For Wang Shu today, it makes little difference whether he wins this award or not.
Of course, for some directors or actors who have never been to the three major European films, they are naturally eager to win the Golden Deer Award at the Chang C Film Festival.
But here in Wang Shu, he is useless.
What's more, the current Chang C Film Festival particularly loves directors and actors from Hong Kong Island, and he doesn't want to go there and join in the fun.
"Then I'll say no for Director Wang." Jiang Wenli said with a smile.
As a senior actor who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, she naturally understood Wang Shu's thoughts, so she didn't ask any more questions, let alone persuasion.
"Okay." Wang Shu responded.
"Okay, that's it." Jiang Wenli responded, and then said, "I heard from Dong Xuan that she went to your place to audition before?"
"I tried. "Wang Shu knew that Dong Xuan was filming with Jiang Wenli in the movie "The Beginning of Spring" directed by Gu Changwei, so he understood why Jiang Wenli asked this question. He smiled and said, "Actually, Dong Xuan's image is quite suitable for my movie. "It's just that Sun Li performed better than her during the audition."
"So, you chose Sun Li?" Jiang Wenli heard this, first teased, and then said, "Did you know? After Dong Xuan returned to the crew from You, he was depressed for several days."
< br>"Uh" Wang Shu was stunned for a moment, and then explained, "My play is about youth love. The male and female protagonists go from acquaintance to falling in love to getting married."
"Sun Li. She is now Just when they are in love, it is natural to show the awkwardness and vague emotions of the man and woman when they first meet. "After the male and female protagonists fall in love, they also naturally show the state of falling in love." br>
“Although Dong Xuan’s image is suitable for a heroine, he is far inferior to Sun Li in these aspects.”
"And I have to be responsible for this drama of mine, so I had to write her off."
"Sun Li, is this her true character? Then Dong Xuan did not lose unfairly." Jiang Wenli suddenly realized.
It stands to reason that Wang Shu and Dong Xuan have a good relationship. It makes no sense that Wang Shu chose Sun Li instead of Dong Xuan after the audition.
Now hearing Wang Shu’s explanation, Jiang Wenli understood.
The two then chatted about some trivial matters. Since Wang Shu was still busy filming, he hung up the phone.
"The Beginning of Spring" crew.
Jiang Wenli found Dong Xuan and said with a smile: "Huanhuan (Dong Xuan's nickname), I just talked to Director Wang on the phone."
Under Dong Xuan's surprised and curious eyes , and then said, "He said."
"Your image is very suitable for the heroine of his play."
Dong Xuan curled his lips slightly when he heard this.
She didn't believe such polite and beautiful words.
Jiang Wenli seemed to have guessed what Dong Xuan was thinking, and then said, "You lost to Sun Li not because your image is worse than Sun Li's, but because Sun Li played the role in her true colors."
< br>"Appearing in true colors?" Dong Xuan was confused when he heard this and didn't understand what it meant.
Acting in true character generally means that an actor is very suitable for the role in the play. Since her image is very suitable for the heroine, why does it become true character in Sun Li? Doesn’t she not have her true character?
Jiang Wenli saw Dong Xuan's confused expression and continued with a smile: "Sun Li is in love at the moment, and it seems that she is still in love."
"The drama directed by Wang is about youth love. Sun Li, who is in the period of passionate love, naturally expresses the feeling of being in love."
"This is why Sun Li is said to be her true character. Starring."
"And the reason why she was chosen."
After Jiang Wenli finished speaking, she saw a look of surprise on Dong Xuan's face, and then said, "Moreover, Director Wang. China Film Group is the largest investor in the film. "
"He wanted to be responsible for China Film Group, so he chose Sun Li who performed better in this role."
After listening to Jiang Wenli's words, Dong Xuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and then darkened again without knowing what he thought of.
Evening.
Wang Shu had just taken a shower and was about to go to bed when his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a text message from Dong Xuan.
"I'm sorry, Director Wang, I shouldn't be angry, I'm sorry. Director Wang, when I have time here, can I go visit your class?" Dong Xuan.
Wang Shu scratched his head when he saw this message.
Dong Xuan is angry?
What are you angry about?
And what should I apologize to him for?
Zhang Er was confused.
But since he was angry, it must be an embarrassing matter. Wang Shu did not intend to ask in detail, but replied: "Of course you are welcome to have a beautiful lady come to visit the class at any time."
Dong Xuan was lying on the bed in his pajamas, looking at the message Wang Shu had replied, a cheerful smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly replied: "Then it's agreed, when I have time, I will go to your place to visit."
“Don’t dress up too beautifully. It will be difficult if you confuse my crew and they won’t be interested in doing anything.” Wang Shu teased.
When Dong Xuan saw this text message, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he immediately replied: "I just have to dress up beautifully, you can't control it, hehe."
"Then I'll stop you outside and won't allow you to come in." Wang Shu replied half-jokingly.
Just after replying to Dong Xuan’s text message, the phone rang again. It was from Yan Danchen.
"Director Wang, should I visit your class tomorrow?" Yan Danchen.
After reading the message, Wang Shu replied: "Come on, I will entertain you tomorrow."
Just after replying to Yan Danchen's text message, Dong Xuan's text message came again, "You are not allowed to come in. , I sneaked in secretly, hehe."
Wang Shu replied to Dong Xuan: "Someone is blocking you on the road, you can't sneak in, be careful if you are caught, call the police."
< br>At this time, a text message from Yan Danchen also came, "Yeah, yeah, I'll go there in the morning tomorrow and grab the lunch box at your place."
Wang Shu read Yan Danchen's text message and replied jokingly: "My crew is very poor and there are no lunch boxes. You have to bring your own food."
Dong Xuan's text message came: "I was caught. Just give me your name, hehe.”
Wang Shu replied to Dong Xuan: “In my crew, giving my name is useless, because there are many outsiders trying to sneak in during this time. , after being caught, they basically reported my name. Now, it’s useless to report my name.”
Yan Danchen’s message came: “I don’t care, I’m going to take advantage of it.” "If there is no lunch box, I will eat your portion."
Just as Wang Shu was about to reply to Yan Danchen, another text message came out, from Xu Huanhuan. "Director Wang, what are you doing? Have you slept?"
Wang Shu glanced at the message and replied to Yan Danchen first, "Wow, you ate mine because you wanted to starve me to death, right? You are so cruel."
Reply completed Yan Danchen replied to Xu Huanhuan, "I just took a shower and am now lying on the bed, ready to rest for a while before going to sleep."
After replying to the two messages, Dong Xuan's text message happened to come, "No thanks. Yes, I will cry, and the whole crew will hear it. Are you sorry?”
Wang Shu read Dong Xuan’s text message and was about to reply when another text message popped up.
It's not Yan Danchen's, nor Xu Huanhuan's, but Yang Ruoxi's.
"Director Wang, have you slept? I will have to play with Teacher Chen again in a while, hehe."
Wang Shu just finished reading Yang Ruoxi's text message, Yan Danchen and Xu Huanhuan The text messages came at the same time.
Seeing this, Wang Shu first replied to Yang Ruoxi, "Miss Peking?"
In August 2006, the period drama "Once Upon a Time in Peking" starring Chen Daoming, Han Chong, Yang Ruoxi and others (currently known as "Miss Peking") will be launched.
It will premiere on Yangshi next October.
As early as two years ago, Yang Ruoxi had read the script of "Miss Peking" on the recommendation of a friend, and it was only now that she started to join the cast and start filming.
After replying to Yang Ruoxi's text message, he then replied to Dong Xuan's text message, then to Yan Danchen's text message, and then to Xu Huanhuan's text message.
He needed to reply to text messages from four people at the same time, so he never stopped typing.
This process is quite tiring.
There is no way.
He has a good temper and is easy to talk to, but he has no choice but to continue working so hard.
The next day.
Wang Shu was filming on the set. When it was nearly 10:30, he received a call from Yan Danchen. Then he stopped what he was doing and turned around to leave.
Sun Li and Liu Yan looked shocked when they saw Wang Shu suddenly leaving after answering a phone call.
"Is someone here to visit the class?" Compared to Liu Yan's confusion, Sun Li had some guesses.
"Who could it be?" Sun Li couldn't help but think to herself.
Liu Yan squatted not far away, glanced at Sun Li secretly, and then looked away.
It was her first time to join the crew for filming. She had never seen many similar scenes in other crews like Sun Li, so it was difficult for her to immediately think that someone would come to visit the crew. She could only I am puzzled by my own thoughts.
In contrast, Sun Li is different.
At this moment, she was already thinking about the actors who had worked with Wang Shu in her mind.
I don’t want to know, but after thinking about it, I found that there are quite a few actors who have collaborated with Wang Shu.
And those actors may come to visit the team.
“Jiang Wenli, Zhou Xun, Yan Danchen, Dong Xuan, Qin Hailu, Mei Ting, Ning Jing, and many other actors and actresses may come to visit the class.”
“That’s right. I don’t know, who is here this time?”
Sun Li whispered.
"Director Wang, I made chicken soup for you." When Yan Danchen saw Wang Shu walking out, he raised a thermos bucket in front of his eyes with a smile on his face like a treasure.
In this thermos bucket is the chicken soup she got up at four or five in the morning and made by herself.
Wang Shu took the thermos bucket from Yan Danchen and sighed: "You can just come here by yourself, why are you making chicken soup? It's not too tiring."
"I'm not tired. Yan Danchen said with a smile.
Wang Shu shook his head and said helplessly: "Let's go, I'll take you in for a walk."
This was Yan Danchen's first time to visit the cast. He was a little curious about the crew of Wang Shu's new play, so he couldn't wait to follow him. .
When they arrived at the venue where the scenery was set up, they saw Sun Li, Liu Yan and others, and they began to greet each other politely.
"It turns out that Yan Danchen came to visit the class." Liu Yan muttered silently in his heart, subconsciously comparing with Yan Danchen.
Sun Li's eyes fell on the thermos bucket carried by Wang Shu, and she couldn't help but said: "You even made soup and brought it here?"
At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Deng Chao.
Deng Chao, as her boyfriend, didn’t bring any soup when he came to visit her class.
Yan Danchen actually made soup for Director Wang?
Her eyes involuntarily glanced at Yan Danchen's face a few times, and then... curled her lips.
Wang Shu took Yan Danchen around for a while. Yan Danchen also knew that Wang Shu needed to work, so he said sweetly: "Director Wang, go and do your work. I will just watch from the side. Don't worry about me. ”
"Can you do it?" Wang Shu was a little worried.
Yan Danchen felt Wang Shu's concern, and felt quite warm in his heart. Then he pretended to be dissatisfied and hummed: "I'm not a child."
Wang Shu looked at Yan Danchen and muttered. The sulky look seemed a little cute, and he said with a smile: "Okay, just watch by yourself for a while, and I will come to you when I'm done."
"Go quickly, there are many people in the crew We're all waiting, don't delay your work." Yan Danchen pushed Wang Shu.
Liu Yan and Sun Li watched the physical interaction between Wang Shu and Yan Danchen from a distance, and they curled their lips in unison.
Soon it was time to eat.
Because Wang Shu wanted to help Yan Danchen get the lunch box, he went to the place where the lunch was placed early.
While taking the lunch boxes for Yan Danchen, I also brought the lunch boxes for Sun Li and Liu Yan.
Seeing this, Liu Yan and Sun Li looked at each other and silently took the box lunch.
The eating place is very simple, with only a small table and a few small stools.
This was the dining table seat that Wang Shu had found before because he thought it was unsightly to eat on the floor.
The investment in "Time Traveler" is only 15 million, and Wang Shu plans to shoot it in one month, so there is no need to waste time, energy and money on trivial matters.
All in all, except for the shooting, there is basically not much emphasis on other aspects.
Despite this, it is not a big deal.
Because most of the crews are like this, and only a few big production crews are quite particular about it.
At this time, Liu Yan also noticed the thermos bucket placed by Wang Shu on the small table. He was stunned for a moment involuntarily, and then glanced at Yan Danchen.
At this moment, even a fool knows that Yan Danchen brought this thermos bucket to Wang Shu.
Among them, it is most likely the soup.
Then he looked at Wang Shu and saw Wang Shu tossing the thermos bucket.
I couldn’t help but curled my lips again.
