Chapter 138 Schedule Conflict
The day’s shooting is over.
Sun Li returned home from work, and soon Deng Chao came again.
The first time he saw Sun Li, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is it?"
Sun Li poured a glass of water for Deng Chao, then rolled her eyes and asked , "Since you know that Director Wang submitted a script to the Film and Television Bureau, don't you know that Director Wang submitted a TV drama script?"
"A TV series?" Deng Chao was stunned when he heard this. After hearing that Wang Shu had submitted the script to the Film and Television Bureau, he subconsciously thought it was a movie and did not expect it to be a TV series at all.
I also thought of agents and companies, focusing on first-hand TV series.
The matter was not explained clearly, and there was a misunderstanding between the two parties. It seemed that this was really the case.
He was just stunned for a moment, and then asked: "The kind of "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?"< br>
Although he is currently focusing on the film industry, it does not mean that he has completely given up on the TV drama field.
It just means that in the field of TV dramas, he will no longer accept ordinary or highly homogenized scripts, but will only accept high-quality TV dramas directed by well-known directors.
Therefore, if it is a huge investment drama like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", he also has ideas.
"Idol drama." Sun Li gave Deng Chao a look that made you want to eat shit, and then said lightly.
“Idol drama?” Deng Chao opened his mouth. He really didn’t expect that a director like Wang Shu, who had already won the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes, would make another idol drama.
Now that you have won the Best Screenplay at Cannes and the Best Actress at Cannes, shouldn’t you continue to make rapid progress in the film field?
What the hell is it that you come to the TV industry to film an idol drama?
Is this the willfulness of a 20-year-old young director?
"Yes, it's an idol drama." Sun Li responded, then started washing the fruits.
"This" Deng Chao opened his mouth. He had something to say, but couldn't.
If the script Wang Shu submitted to the Film and Television Bureau was a movie, he originally planned to ask Sun Li if he could make an appointment.
If it can be decided by default, and if there is a conflict in schedules, he will push the drama "Sweet Honey".
No need to push now.
I still have to act honestly in the TV series "Sweet Honey".
He scratched his head and couldn't help but said: "What did Director Wang think? Why did you go to film an idol drama again?"
Sun Li rolled her eyes when she heard this and couldn't help but say : "Ask me, who should I ask?"
Deng Chao looked at Sun Li and said, "You get along with Director Wang every day on the set, so you don't know what he thinks?"
When Sun Li heard Deng Chao say that she got along with Wang Shu every day, she felt a little inexplicable. He was panicked, and quickly covered up his panic by washing the fruit, and said calmly: "There are many people on the crew who get along with Director Wang every day. We are not the roundworms in his stomach, so how can we know what he thinks?"
Deng Chao nodded, thinking so.
When he asked this just now, he just followed the topic and said it casually. He didn't really think that Sun Li could understand it clearly.
The two chatted for a while while eating fruit, and then went out for supper together.
On the other side, Wang Shu received a call from Han Sanping.
"Didn't you say you wanted to make an award-winning film? Why did you start an idol drama again?" Han Sanping has collaborated with Wang Shu many times and has reaped the benefits, so he naturally knows Wang Shu's movements.
“After the production of "The Love Traveler" is completed and the crew is recruited to make an award-winning film, the time should not be able to catch up with the Berlin Film Festival."
"In this case, forget it this year. , it’s better to do some idol dramas so that the team in my company can gain more experience.”
Wang Shu said half-truth.
After listening to Wang Shu's words, Han Sanping understood what he meant, but he still couldn't help but asked: "Independent production?"
"It's just an idol drama, with a total investment of only a few million, plus I plan to star in the film myself, which saves the male protagonist’s salary and reduces the investment cost, which can be used by my company’s team to practice,” Wang Shu said with a smile.
When Han Sanping heard this, he was a little embarrassed to say that China Film Group planned to get involved.
Only the experience of the idol drama "My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox", coupled with Wang Shu's success again and again, made Han Sanping believe that Wang Shu's investment in the idol drama planned this time. It’s not big, but...the income should be guaranteed, so I don’t want to give up.
Immediately, he asked half-jokingly, "Are you under financial pressure? Do you need China Film to take a share?"
"You said you want the company's team to practice, that's no problem. China Film can stay out of the whole process and only invest money."
After hearing what Han Sanping said, Wang Shu couldn't help but ridiculed: "No, right? Director Han? You don’t want to let go of a small production worth several million?”
Han Sanping was embarrassed by Wang Shu’s words, so he changed his mind and said, “Okay, a few million.” It’s a small production, just take your time with the company’s team, and China Film will not interfere.”
After that, I didn’t forget to add, “It’s really boring.”
Wang Shu saw through this but did not say anything, and continued to talk with Han Sanping about some things.
Before hanging up the phone, Han Sanping couldn't help but hint: "It's okay to use the method of making TV series to get the team in the company to practice and gain experience."
"But after that, we still have to focus on movies."< br>
“TV dramas are on a small screen, no matter how they are made, they are not interesting.”
“After all, the stage of the big screen, the movie, is more important.”
After hanging up the phone with Han Sanping, Wang Shu received another call from Wang Changtian.
"Brother Wang, do you have time to come out and have a dinner?" Wang Changtian said with a smile.
“I’m busy filming, so I really can’t spare the time.” Wang Shu responded with a smile.
Wang Changtian’s purpose for calling now was clear to him.
Since this person likes to do Tai Chi, let’s cooperate.
"That's a pity." Wang Changtian pretended to sigh, and then asked, "I heard that you submitted another TV series script to the Film and Television Bureau?"
He has tasted the sweetness of "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox".
I didn’t get on the train for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" last time, so I can’t miss it this time.
"I handed over a script to the Film and Television Bureau." Wang Shu replied pretending to be confused. Without waiting for Wang Changtian to speak, he continued, "It's only a small investment of a few million. , this time I plan to produce it independently, as a training for the team in the company.”
“Since the establishment of my Yishu company, I have not done an independent project.”
“So. I want to practice my skills in my company and gain experience.”
"Otherwise, if we continue like this, we will be like a grassroots team."
Hearing Wang Shu say this, Wang Changtian choked on the words that were already on his lips.
With a small investment of several million, that is, the investment scale is not large, Wang Shu can completely invest in production independently.
The company’s team has gained experience through practice and can’t find anything to fault.
Wang Changtian suddenly realized that if he wanted to get involved in this, he would be a bit incompetent.
He opened his mouth, swallowed back the words he had prepared, and then said with a smile: "Since the establishment of your Yishu company, it really needs to do some independent projects to grow."
"How many times?" It’s not a big investment, but it’s just enough for your company’s team to practice.”
“It seems that you have made corresponding arrangements?”
Wang Shuxiao. He said: "Since the establishment of the company, we have participated in the production of several projects, which can be regarded as accumulating some experience." "Now, we need to complete some projects independently to truly grow."
Wang Changtian responded to these words: "It is true."
"If they do not undergo the baptism of independent projects, the team will always be a grassroots team."
"When they need to be responsible for the project alone "
After saying this, he sighed, and then said, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore."
"This. I called you this time, mainly because I wanted to invite you to come out and talk about movies.”
"You also know that Guangguang is now involved in the film field, and there are currently no good projects."
Wang Shu saw through it without saying anything, and said with a smile: "There is really no time at the moment, I am very busy every day."< br>
"We'll talk about it later when we have time."
"Okay." Wang Changtian responded politely, and then hung up the phone.
Evening.
Wang Shu was lying on the bed, scrolling through his phone, found Gao Yuanyuan's contact information from the address book, and immediately sent her a text message.
"Is there a schedule next month?"
Since we are filming an idol drama, there is no need to waste time and slowly audition to find actors who both fit the role and have excellent acting skills. All you need to do is find some actors who have good looks, match the image of the character, and can act.
So Wang Shu planned to save time and directly contact the actors to decide on the main creative personnel.
Other supporting roles are left to the company.
"Ah? Director Wang wants me to act in a TV series?" Regarding Wang Shu, a director who won the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes and brought out a Cannes Best Actress, he submitted the script to the Film and Television Bureau for review and will make another TV series. The news has spread in the circle, and Gao Yuanyuan has also heard about it now.
"Well, there is an idol drama, and I want you to play the leading female role." Wang Shu explained his intention directly, regardless of how Gao Yuanyuan knew that he was going to film a TV series.
Gao Yuanyuan looked at the message sent by Wang Shu and replied distressedly: "Director Wang, it's not that I want to refuse your invitation, but I am currently on the set of "Men and Women", and this movie has just started shooting. "
"Unless Director Wang can wait for me for a while, I don't have a schedule."
"Is that so? "Wang Shu is very busy, so he won't wait." Gao Yuanyuan would only talk about it when there was a schedule, and she would directly reply in the negative.
Gao Yuanyuan looked at the message Wang Shu replied and couldn't help but sigh in anger.
Although the filming of "The Talented Man and the Beautiful Woman" has just started, because it is a love movie, it can be completed in two or three months.
Director Wang can’t wait?
Hmph!
“Can’t Director Wang wait for me for two or three months?”
After all, Wang Shu is the director who won the Best Actress Award at Cannes, and even Gao Yuanyuan in the idol drama wants to work with him.
After all, after the first cooperation, we have become familiar with each other, and it will be easier to have a second cooperation in the future.
Two films, one won the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award in Berlin, and the other won the Best Screenplay Award and the Cannes Best Actress Award in Cannes.
These results all prove Wang Shu’s strength.
Gao Yuanyuan knew that Wang Shu had something, so she took a high look at him and wanted to cooperate.
"It's not that I don't want to wait for you, but I'm very busy in the second half of the year and a lot of things are fully booked."
"I can't wait for my schedule, otherwise many things later will be affected."
Wang Shu read Gao Yuanyuan’s text message and explained.
“That’s it”
“Then will there be a chance to cooperate with Director Wang next time?”
Gao Yuanyuan also knew that there was nothing that could be done about it, so she didn't say much, but turned around and asked.
"Of course." Wang Shu gave an affirmative reply. Anyway, he didn't say the specific time, so he could say whatever he wanted.
"Uh-huh, I'm sorry, Director Wang. There is really nothing we can do this time. I look forward to cooperating with you next time." Gao Yuanyuan saw Wang Shu's reply and quickly replied with a polite text message.
"It's okay. Since you don't have a schedule, I won't disturb you. I have to be busy with other things." Wang Shu.
"Yes, Director Wang, you are busy." Gao Yuanyuan replied politely.
She held the phone and waited for a while. When she didn't wait for Wang Shu's reply, she suddenly felt worried.
At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan is really on the set of the love movie "Talented Men and Beautiful Women", and the leading actor opposite her is Shawn Yue.
Therefore, Wang Shu’s invitation was very inappropriate. She really had a schedule conflict, not a petty temper because she was rejected by Wang Shu for the last audition.
But even though she couldn't cooperate with Wang Shu this time due to schedule conflicts, she... felt a little bit happy in her heart.
Tonight's text message indicates that Wang Shu not only has no objection to her, but also wants to cooperate.
"It seems that the character who was rejected by Director Wang last time was really not suitable for the role in the script." Gao Yuanyuan threw the phone aside and murmured to herself on the bed.
“People in the circle are saying that Director Wang’s audition has always been about whether the actor fits the role in his mind.”
“Now it seems that this should be the case.”
Gao Yuanyuan muttered in her heart, and then continued to mutter to herself, "Although I was kicked out of the audition last time."
"But...it's not without effect."
"Without the last audition that left an impression on Director Wang, there would have been no text message today."
"It's just."
"Schedule."
"It's so annoying."
After Wang Shu ended his communication with Gao Yuanyuan, he began to mentally calculate who else in the film and television industry was suitable for the heroine in the film.
Chen Hao is so gorgeous.
If it is a character with a relatively dusty image, then Chen Hao is a pretty good candidate.
If it were other types of roles, her image would not be suitable for playing a heroine, but only for a supporting actress.
In fact, in the film and television dramas played by Chen Hao,
except for the dramas with multiple female protagonists, she can excel with roles that just suit her temperament. The heroine's scenes basically have a strange smell.
The main reason is because her image is too gorgeous.
You can only act as the heroine in some specific plays, or provide supporting roles for others.
Otherwise, the overly glamorous image conflicts with the temperament and positioning of the heroines in many dramas, making them incompetent.
It's not that Chen Hao can't play the heroine, but she can only play certain roles, otherwise her heroine will always feel wrong.
