Chapter 291 One Night
In mid-March, the heating in the capital has stopped.
Wang Shu returned to the room after taking a shower, glanced at Chen Hao on the bed, and then lay down next to him to sleep.
He had no other ideas, except that there was no heating, and it was still quite cold in Beijing in mid-March, so he didn't want to sleep on the sofa or make a bed on the floor.
If it’s any other season, it doesn’t matter.
In this season, it is better to sleep in bed to keep warm.
Wang Shu glanced sideways at Chen Hao and saw that she was sleeping soundly, so he turned off the light and went to sleep.
Although Chen Hao had a strong smell of alcohol, because Wang Shu had been with her all the time, his nose had already adapted to it, so he didn't feel anything.
Not long after lying on the bed, Wang Shu fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but he vaguely felt some movement around him.
I didn't wake up for the first time, thinking I was dreaming.
When he realized something was wrong and woke up, he found Chen Hao lying on top of him.
And
can’t stand it.
So
After more than an hour of tossing, it stopped.
At this moment, the light in the bedroom was on, and Chen Hao was leaning on the bedside, smoking a cigarette he took out of his bag.
Wang Shu was sleeping on the other side. When he saw Chen Hao's eyes turning over, he subconsciously pulled the quilt to cover his body.
"How do you feel?" When Chen Hao saw this, his somewhat melancholy expression turned into joy, and he asked with ambiguous eyes.
"." Wang Shu was speechless for a moment, cleared his throat and said, "It's okay."
"Is it just okay?" Chen Hao raised the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but tease.
"Uh" Wang Shu opened his mouth, pretending to be embarrassed.
"First time?" Chen Hao asked subconsciously when he saw that Wang Shu was thin-skinned and thought that although Wang Shu was brave, he only made one move from beginning to end.
“No!” Wang Shu answered truthfully instantly.
"Haha." Chen Hao didn't believe it. In her opinion, Wang Shu most likely said it because he felt embarrassed. In fact, it was the first time.
Wang Shu saw Chen Hao's expression in his eyes and knew that the other party did not believe him.
In this regard, he told the truth, and there was nothing he could do if Chen Hao refused to believe him.
Chen Hao shook out the cigarette ashes, then picked up the bag on the bedside table and pulled out a hundred-dollar bill. He threw it to Wang Shu with a smile and said, "Here you go."
"Do it. What?" Wang Shu looked confused and didn't react for a moment.
Seeing this, Chen Hao was delighted and deliberately teased: "A red envelope."
"What red envelope?" Wang Shu was still confused.
"Didn't anyone tell you? I always get a red envelope for the first time." Chen Hao explained with a smile, "It was your first time just now, so of course I have to give you a red envelope."
"." Wang Shu was speechless when he heard this. He had his own stubbornness, and then said in a muffled voice, "This is not the first time for me."
In Chen Hao's eyes, Wang Shu Shu's reaction was undoubtedly due to her pride. She then asked with a smile: "Tell me, when was your first time?"
"." Wang Shu was speechless for a moment.
His first time.
I can’t say it!
Seeing that Wang Shu couldn't answer, Chen Hao immediately joked as if he was like this: "You can't tell, right?"
After saying that, he smiled and said again, "So , get the red envelope~"
"." Wang Shen was silent and did not reach out to get the one hundred yuan.
The more he behaved like this, the more Chen Hao wanted to tease him. He turned around and put out the almost-smoked cigarette in his hand, then turned around and stuffed a hundred dollars into Wang Shu's arms.
Wang Shu refused to take it, but Chen Hao forced it on him.
Tossing and tossing
More than an hour passed.
Wang Shu thought she was going to sleep, but after resting for a while, she sat up and got dressed. Said: "I'm going back."
"It's so late, why don't you rest here?" Wang Shu was startled when he heard this.
"No." Chen Hao responded as he kept putting on his clothes.
“You really don’t want to rest here?” Wang Shu saw that Chen Hao didn’t seem to be joking, and he already understood what the other person was thinking.
“No.” Chen Hao turned around and laughed dryly, expressing her thoughts again.
Wang Shu nodded, stood up and said, "Then I'll drive you off."
"No, I can just take a taxi myself." Chen Hao declined.
Wang Shu answered: "It's not easy to take a taxi this late, and it's still a bit dangerous, so I'll give you a ride."
The capital is the most benign place, so it's not that dangerous.
However, Chen Hao is a beauty and a star, so it is not good to be alone late at night after all.
When Chen Hao heard this, he hesitated.
Seeing this, Wang Shu immediately said: "Two choices, either you rest here today, or I drive you off."
Chen Hao sighed after hearing this and replied: "Then you can take me off." "
"You really don't want to spend the night here?" Wang Shu asked again after hearing this.
“No.” Chen Hao looked at Wang Shu and smiled back.
"Okay." Wang Shu nodded and continued to put on his clothes.
He understood Chen Hao's attitude.
Tonight was just an accident.
Wang Shu got dressed, then went out with Chen Hao, and then drove her back home.
When Chen Hao got off the car, she did not leave Wang Shu to drink tea at her home. This detail also told Wang Shu to treat what happened tonight as an accident.
When Wang Shu saw Chen Hao, he turned around and left, started the car and left behind a trail of smoke.
When Chen Hao heard the noise, he stopped and turned around to watch Wang Shu leave.
I didn’t walk home until I couldn’t see the tail lights anymore.
The next day, news spread throughout the film and television industry that casting for Wang Shu's new film "The Crowd" had been completed.
The new work of the great director has always been a topic of discussion in the entire circle, and there has been constant talk about Wang Shu.
When everyone learned that the male lead was played by Zhang Hanyu, the second male lead was played by Fu Dalong, and the female lead was played by Mei Ting, they were all envious and sighed, and their hearts were full of joy. He couldn't help but want to make friends with Wang Shu.
The casting of "Human Mountain" once again proves that Wang Shu prefers to use familiar actors.
Not to mention Zhang Hanyu, he has a personal relationship with Wang Shu, so there is nothing wrong with his choice as the male lead.
Fu Dalong and Mei Ting are different. They don’t have much personal relationship with Wang Shu. They just cooperated before and will cooperate again this time.
It is precisely because of previous cooperation and this cooperation that many people have once again determined that Wang Shu, like some directors, prefers to use familiar actors.
As for the reason, we all know it.
Familiar actors know the basics and can use them with ease.
After knowing clearly that Wang Shu had this preference, the actors in the circle naturally wanted to make friends with Wang Shu. As long as you make friends with Wang Shu, you can become an actor who is familiar with Wang Shu, and your chances of getting a role from Wang Shu will be greater in the future.
So, many people in the circle could not contact Wang Shu, so they set their sights on Zhou Xun, Zhang Hanyu, Sun Li, Yang Wei, and even Mei Ting, trying to get through them Use matchmaking to achieve the goal.
……
Wang Shu was busy working in the company and received a call from Wang Changtian.
"Director Wang, what are you busy with?" Wang Changtian asked with a smile.
"Work matters." Wang Shu responded.
"How about we get together when you have time?" Wang Changtian asked casually in a polite way, and changed the subject directly after hearing Wang Shu's answer.
Wang Shu smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Mr. Wang, it's not that I don't give you face, but I've been really busy in the past two months."
"Not only are I busy with the selection of directors for the Olympics, but I am also busy with film promotions and the Cannes Film Festival, plus I am working on new films."
"So... I really don't have time."< br>
“But there is definitely no problem in getting together, but we have to wait at least a month or two.”
Wang Changtian also knew that Wang Shu was telling the truth, plus what he said The dinner party was not his purpose, so he didn't care about it, and then followed Wang Shu's topic: "I heard that the casting for your new film has been selected?"
"It has been selected." Wang Shu responded.
"Are you tight on funds? Do you need some help from me?" Wang Changtian asked with a smile.
Wang Shu smiled calmly when he heard this: "Mr. Wang, the salaries of Mei Ting, Zhang Hanyu, Fu Dalong and others in this movie are not high. In addition, it is a feature film, so the total investment is not high. "
"So, in terms of funds, Yishu Company can still support it."
After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment and then said, "China Film also knows it. The investment is not high, so I didn’t invest in it.”
“That’s it.” Wang Changtian laughed sarcastically and said, “I thought your Yishu Company might not be able to turn around, so I called to ask. Ask you.”
"Since there is no problem with funding, let's forget about it."
Wang Shu saw through it without saying anything and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, if the cooperation doesn't work this time, it doesn't mean the cooperation won't work next time."
"Next time I make a commercial blockbuster, I will definitely give you a call."
Now that Han Sanping is the boss of China Film Group, the next time he makes a commercial blockbuster, he should continue to expand his network of contacts.
It is imperative to add shadow and light.
Of course, Guangguang is only a private enterprise, and Wang Shu comes with it for Wang Changtian's sake.
The main thing is to attract Shanghai Film, Wanda, and Media Asia.
Shanghai Film is a state-owned enterprise. Although it is not as good as China Film, it is still second in line and has influence in Luquan. .
Wanda has cinemas.
Media Asia is a Hong Kong film and television company, and the cooperation with it is for the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets.
Wang Changtian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Then we have to get together when you have time."
"It's easy to talk." Wang Shu responded with a smile.
The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
The next day, Wang Shu did not go to the company, but went with Han Sanping to attend the Olympic director selection symposium.
In the huge conference room, Wang Shu met many directors.
He knows Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, etc., and there are many others he does not know.
Although he is already a great director, when he arrived at the scene, he still pretended to say hello to people he knew and didn’t know.
At this time, it can be regarded as a public place. If you are not careful, rumors may be spread by interested people that he is arrogant, acting like a big name, etc.
I have to be more cautious.
"Director Zhang, long time no see." Wang Shu greeted Zhang Yimou with a smile.
Compared to Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei and others, at least there is no conflict between Wang Shu and Zhang Yimou.
"Long time no see, Director Wang." Zhang Yimou also replied quickly.
Although Wang Shu is a young director, Zhang Yimou has never underestimated him.
After saying that, he then asked, "I heard that you are preparing a new film and plan to participate in this year's Venice Film Festival?"
Wang Shu heard this and replied without any concealment. : "Yes, the filming will start soon. It should be in time for the Venice Film Festival."
He knew that the "national master" in front of him would not only serve as the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games, but also serve as the chairman of the jury of the 60th Venice International Film Festival in 2007.
In other words, this time Wang Shu went to the Venice Film Festival with "Human Mountain", and the chairman of the jury was-Zhang Yimou!
“Are you confident?” Zhang Yimou asked.
As for him being the chairman of the jury of the 2007 Venice Film Festival, it was confirmed and announced at the beginning of the year. He believed that Wang Shu should know.
“Yes!” Wang Shu answered without hesitation.
Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with a hearty smile: "Okay."
As the chairman of the jury, of course he welcomed Wang Shu to participate in this Venice Film Festival, but he didn't expect Wang Shu to be like this So confident.
But think about it, young, talented and accomplished directors do have the capital to be proud of.
Thinking of this, he laughed at himself again. Compared with Wang Shu, he was the stupid bird who flew first to achieve his current achievements.
And Wang Shu is a rare talented director.
Zhang Yimou has seen many talented directors.
Directors with Wang Shu’s talent are extremely rare.
Wang Shu smiled and said: "After attending today's symposium, the machine will be officially launched in two days."
Zhang Yimou nodded. There are many people here, and there are some things to say. We can't say much. If we talk about him being the chairman of the Venice Jury, etc., even if there is no private transaction between him and Wang Shu, it will still change the taste if it gets out.
He has to avoid suspicion.
Wang Shu also knew this, and he only had a brief chat with Zhang Yimou, then turned and left.
Since Zhang Yimou has confirmed that he will go to the Venice Film Festival, it is necessary to avoid suspicion.
Otherwise, I’m sure some people will gossip.
Han Sanping was beside Wang Shu at the moment. He whispered: "Do you know that Zhang Yimou is the chairman of the jury of this year's Venice Film Festival?"
"Yes." Wang Shu replied softly.
"If he wants to avoid suspicion, you can visit him privately." Han Sanping said in a low voice.
“Uh, that’s not the case, is it?” Wang Shu also knew that if he wanted to win awards at the three major film festivals, he would have to do public relations to make it more possible.
However, his friendship with Zhang Yimou was too shallow, so he went to publicize Zhang Yimou. It is possible that his cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness.
"What are you thinking about?" Han Sanping seemed to have guessed Wang Shu's thoughts, showing a speechless expression, and then continued, "What I'm saying is that you can hand the script of "Human Mountain and Crowd" to Zhang Yimou to read. One glance.”
Although he didn’t say this clearly, Wang Shu understood what Han Sanping meant.
Zhang Yimou is the chairman of the Venice jury. Giving him the script is equivalent to knowing in advance whether the film will be selected after it is completed, or judging whether the story is qualified to win the award from Zhang Yimou's perspective.
Although the award of the award is determined by voting, Zhang Yimou’s personal perspective does not represent everything, but at least he can be confident.
Moreover.
