Actor without ambition

Chapter 280 Great Wish

Among the four scripts, Zhang Yuxuan was most interested in the movie "October Besieged City".The characters in it are all very vivid and have their own pursuits. For their own pursuits, they even sacrifice their lives.

It can be said that any of the roles in this are completely achievable.

However, in the October siege, the role Zhang Yuxuan most wanted to play was Liu Yubai.

It's not that the other characters are not good, but Zhang Yuxuan's memory of Liu Yubai's fight scene is too deep. A big iron fan with a length of one meter stands on the stone bridge. Finally died in Yan Xiaoguo.

"October Besieged City" gave Zhang Yuxuan a script, but did not ask Zhang Yuxuan to play that role.The meaning is obvious, it is these roles, let Zhang Yuxuan choose, see which one Zhang Yuxuan wants to play, it is fine.

However, due to Zhang Yuxuan's age, there are only a few characters that Zhang Yuxuan can choose.

Chongyang, Li Chongguang, Liu Yubai, Deng Sidi.All four roles are quite suitable.Among them, the role of Chong Yang has the most roles, and it is also very brilliant.It's just that what Henry Zhang likes is the role of Liu Yubai.

Of course, Liu Yubai has fewer roles, and many roles are still played by beggars. It is easier to act by lying directly on the ground.The only thing that was difficult was the fight scene.

However, Zhang Yuxuan does not reject fighting scenes. After all, he has filmed many martial arts dramas, not to mention the kung fu movie "Night Questions", so for Zhang Yuxuan, playing scenes is not too difficult.

Hearing the type of movie Zhang Yuxuan mentioned, Li Ling, the screenwriter and even Wu Jing were a little bit astonished.

"Is that so? Then Wu Jing, you need to spend more time." After hearing Wu Jing's words, Li Ling nodded and said to Wu Jing.

It can only be said that Zhang Yuxuan is not active, but more passive.

"You write it yourself. The scripts you wrote are pretty good. Now you continue to write a new one, the one where you are the protagonist."

Hearing what Zhang Yuxuan said, Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, you can continue to tell the story."

"Starring in a movie, isn't the script not too pleasing to the eye." Zhang Yuxuan stretched lazily and said.

The person in charge of filming is an assistant director of the crew.

"Three months, it's a bit long, but it's okay, as long as the movie can be made well." Li Ling nodded.

"Well, "Great Wish", this story is mainly about a high school student who suddenly suffers from muscular dystrophy and is told by the doctor that his time is short, and he is determined to fulfill one wish before he dies, which is to become a real man. The two close relatives and friends who learned the news fought for the brother's last wish at all costs..."

……

In fact, Zhang Yuxuan also wanted to bring Wu Jing with him at the beginning, and he even wanted to bring Zhang Yi with him. After all, both of them are artists signed by their own studio.

"Three months, go and stay for three months first." Wu Jing had obviously thought about it before, so when Li Ling asked, he answered directly.

"Well, it's true, but the script is still in the screenwriting department, and I don't know if it has been completed. When you are free, go and have a look, chat with them, and talk about ideas. This will help you as a director and shoot later. Help at all times." Zhang Yuxuan said to Wu Jing.

Although, if Zhang Yuxuan wants to continue to squeeze out Shen Teng's wool, it's okay, after all, he still has a lot of works.But you can't always grab a sheep and keep pulling its wool.I have to change it no matter what, change it first, and then continue to pull Shen Teng's wool next time.

Therefore, Wu Jing actually wanted to kill first and play later.

But who made Zhang Yuxuan the boss, so the screenwriters can only do their best to write.

Shen Teng was already 35 years old when he played Charlotte Annoyance and high school student, not to mention that Shen Teng's face was older than Wu Jing.

"Okay, this time the new script is called "The Great Wish". It's a, uh, sex comedy."

"Well, forget it, as you know, I don't have much interest in this kind of movies." Zhang Yuxuan shook his head and said.

"Everyone in the screenwriting department, what happened to the previous "Wolf Warrior" script? Has it been written yet?" Li Ling asked.

It's like that, he never takes the initiative to do any work at home, but as long as someone instructs him and tells him to do something, such as sweeping the floor or washing the dishes, he will not refuse, and he will really do it. The kind that sweeps the floor and washes dishes.

Moreover, although Zhang Yuxuan would not take the initiative to mention some reasonable things and reasons, Zhang Yuxuan would do most of what Li Ling mentioned aside.

"Sex comedy? Yuxuan, what are you talking about?"

"The script of October Siege is indeed good, but the role of Liu Yubai doesn't have many roles—"

Hearing Zhang Yuxuan's explanation, everyone nodded in understanding, but Li Ling still frowned: "Yuxuan, the scale of the movie should not be too large. After the two movies of "Apple" last year and "Lust, Caution" last year, It seems that the radio and television side wants to restrict this aspect, although the restriction has not been discovered yet, but—”

Zhang Yuxuan looked at Wu Jing with a strange expression.

It's just that the age of the two of them is inappropriate, Wu Jing is already 36.Zhang Yi is also 31.It's a bit inappropriate to act tender.

"Remember, this is a comedy, but in addition to comedy, it must also be touching. I want the audience in the movie theater to laugh at the first moment and cry at the next moment when they are watching the movie. When they are about to cry, let them laugh again." Zhang Yuxuan described his last request.

Only this time, in addition to Zhang Yuxuan, Li Ling and the members of the screenwriting department, Wu Jing was present at the meeting.

The reason why Wu Jing dared to do this was also because he had a good relationship with Zhang Yuxuan. If it were someone else, Wu Jing would not dare to be so bold.

"Two versions have been written, but some details are still not perfect, but as long as the details are perfected, the script can still be completed very quickly." The screenwriter department said quickly.

Not to mention baby faces like Tan Songyun.

Hearing Zhang Yuxuan's words, Li Cod couldn't help shaking her head, but she had no objection to Zhang Yuxuan's choice, because Li Cod generally didn't interfere with Zhang Yuxuan's casting, because Zhang Yuxuan himself did a good job.

"Then what about the remaining three scripts? Let's forget about "The Secret Detective Zero Dog" directed by Wang Jing, and what about the remaining two modern dramas? It seems that the scripts are still acceptable. Don't you choose one?" Li Ling asked.

Anyway, it’s the type that doesn’t work in his eyes, and he will only do it if you tell him what to do, and it’s not difficult to instruct him.

When Zhang Yuxuan returned to Zhang Yuxuan's studio, Wu Jing had already returned from the no man's land.

Hearing Zhang Yuxuan's request, the screenwriters looked at each other in blank dismay. This request was a bit difficult.

"It's already pretty good if you didn't ask for a show. Now our studio has just been established, and we need more works and exposure. You, the boss, of course have to put in a little more effort." Li Ling was not angry. said.

Moreover, in the Bangzi Country version of "Great Wish", the ages of the three male protagonists are almost 30 years old.

Moreover, this movie was later adapted in China, but how should I say it? A bad show.Although it is said that the auditing of radio and television was indeed stricter, so some places inevitably need to be revised, but it is also the screenwriter's ability to change a good script into a bad script, and it is also the director's job to turn a good story into a bad movie. ability.

"It doesn't matter if it's more or less, the pay is the same anyway." Zhang Yuxuan said lazily.

When Zhang Yuxuan was watching a movie, he was still laughing one moment, and was moved to cry the next moment. Just when he wanted to cry, he couldn't help laughing again.It goes on and on like this, and although it feels weird emotionally, it's really a very, very good movie.

"Since Wu Jing is going to stay in the army for three months, there is no way to prepare this movie so quickly. Let's do this. Two-thirds of the people in the screenwriting department will be allocated to write a new script, and the remaining one-third will continue to work. Perfect the script of "Wolf Warrior"," Li Ling said.

"Okay, okay, I know, I know." Zhang Yuxuan was a little helpless when he heard that Li Ling asked him for a script again. In order to prevent her from asking for the script endlessly, Zhang Yuxuan gave the story of a movie that he had been thinking about these days. out.

……

"It's fine if you're not interested, but you don't have many roles in "The Founding of a Country", and now "October Besieged City" also doesn't have many roles. Yuxuan, no matter what, you should star in a movie next." .”

"Why isn't it suitable? Put on makeup, apply it hard, and look younger. It's not difficult."

"Yuxuan, I heard that you made a script and asked me to direct and act on my own? Is it true?" Wu Jing couldn't wait to ask after seeing Zhang Yuxuan.

"Yuxuan, in a few days you will be reporting to the crew of "October Besieged City". So before you go, get the new script out." Li Ling told Zhang Yuxuan.

"What's wrong with my age? I have a tender face. I have a tender face and look young. If I say that I am in my twenties, people will definitely believe me." Wu Jing couldn't help but said.

But no matter what, in less than a week, Zhang Yuxuan's role was completely wrapped up.After all, the role of Zhang Yuxuan is only about ten minutes in total, and part of it was filmed before, so how long can the filming be for the rest?
After Zhang Yuxuan's personal role was completed, he left the crew.

Hearing Wu Jing's words, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but look up at Wu Jing's face. To be honest, it was indeed quite tender, and it looked really small.But it's too small to be at the stage of high school.

"Um, all right, all right, I know. Sigh, if I had known earlier, I might as well not have established a studio." Zhang Yuxuan muttered casually.

After all, Wu Jing's role as Police Officer Wang in "No Man's Land" really doesn't have many roles, and the filming doesn't take long.

Zhang Yuxuan couldn't remember how long Wu Jing had been in the army to film Wolf Warriors, but it probably couldn't be three months, three months is too short.

"As soon as possible. The filming of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is almost finished, and there are not many scenes in "October Besieged City", so the shooting can't be slow. So your script should be prepared as soon as possible, and besides the script, you also need to find the director. Find actors and try to resolve these things before you finish filming, so that you can seamlessly join the group shooting after filming."

So Wu Jing planned to talk about it for three months first. After three months, he would continue to stay in the army and not come out. At that time, even if Li Ling had an opinion, he couldn't find anyone to talk about it.

The screenwriter and Li Ling had a general impression in their hearts, and then the screenwriters began to discuss the details of the story with Zhang Yuxuan.

In fact, Wu Jing did not intend to stay in the army for three months, but he just joined Zhang Yuxuan's studio, and he went directly to the army before doing anything.If he stayed for a long time, Li Ling would most likely not agree.

"It's not too much trouble, but I plan to go to the army to stay for a while before the filming of "Wolf Warrior" to experience the feeling of being a soldier, especially the special forces. Only then can we grasp the role of Wolf Warrior more accurately." Wu Jing said.

"You are too old." Zhang Yuxuan said directly: "The three protagonists are all high school students. Although we can't find real high school students to play, the highest age is no more than 25 years old. You can still play high school students with makeup like this. It's over 30, it's not suitable anymore." Zhang Yuxuan said bluntly.

After Wu Jing came back, he heard that Zhang Yuxuan specially wrote a script for him and asked him to direct and act on his own, which surprised Wu Jing.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I suddenly feel that the movie "The Great Wish" seems very interesting. How about arranging a role for me and going to the army after I finish acting?" Wu Jing listened from the side , Knowing the general plot of the movie "Great Wish", I think it should be very interesting to make this movie, so he also wants to participate.

"Well, didn't I agree before. Wait, I'll make a script when I think about it."

"As for the new script, Yu Xuan, come and talk to the screenwriters."

"Sister Cod, that's it. I want the role of Liu Yubai." Zhang Yuxuan picked out the script of "October Besieged City" and said to Li Cod.

Everyone discussed with each other sentence by sentence. After nearly two hours, a general story frame has been completed. Next, it is for the screenwriters to fill in the specific content.

"Go to the army to experience? It's okay, but how long are you going?" Li Ling agreed when he heard Wu Jing's words. After all, in order to make a good movie, it's good to make more preparations in advance.

It has been agreed with the crew of "The Founding of a Nation", so in the next week, Zhang Yuxuan's scenes will be fully concentrated for filming.

"I understand, I understand. This is the topic of this movie, but that kind of picture will never appear." Zhang Yuxuan explained.

But then again, acting as a high school student in his thirties is actually not uncommon in the entertainment industry, and it can even be said to be quite common.

Don't look at the fact that "The Founding of a Country" has two directors on the surface, but in addition to the two directors, there are many assistant directors.The ability of these assistant directors is not weaker than that of the director, and each of them even has their own special role in shooting scenes. After the filming is finished, it will be sent to the chief director for review. If the review is passed, the shots shot by the assistant director will be used. Not satisfied, the assistant director went back to reshoot.

Zhang Yuxuan told the general plot of the story.

Zhang Yuxuan has seen the original movie of Bangziguo, and it is indeed a very good movie.It can be said that this is a very funny and very touching movie.

As a result, the screenwriting department was called into a meeting again.

Hearing what Li Ling said, Wu Jing had no objections at all. He wished that the script could be completed as slowly as possible.

"Great Wish", this is a sex comedy movie from Bangzi Kingdom, and it can't be said to be a particularly pure sex comedy. In fact, it only has such content in terms of topics. In fact, it is still too much.

"Okay, I'll go to the screenwriting department right now." After speaking, Wu Jing couldn't wait to run towards the screenwriting department.

As for how long to stay, Wu Jing did not have an exact time yet.

"Actually, it's pretty good. As for the details, I don't know enough about special forces and firearms, but I can help in this regard." Wu Jing said at this time.

"Hey, hey, are you going to make me a cow and a horse? Still seamlessly connected?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but said.

"The theme of the movie is sex. The great wish is the story of the male protagonist wanting to get rid of his virginity and become a real man." Zhang Yuxuan explained.

So asking an assistant director to come here to shoot Zhang Yuxuan's scenes is not a perfunctory effort by the crew.Even the assistant director's request was even more stringent.

Li Ling rolled her eyes. She was very clear about Zhang Yuxuan's character. Maybe at this moment, Zhang Yuxuan really regretted it. However, the studio has already been established, and it is too late for Zhang Yuxuan to regret it.

Moreover, Zhang Yuxuan also gave an example during the discussion just now, so it is not too difficult.

"It's true that you have a tender face, but do you think you are suitable to play a high school student?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but said.

"How about this, you try to put on makeup, by the way, let Zhang Yi also try to put on makeup. See if it works, if it works, the three of us will make this movie together, if it doesn't work, then don't even think about it." Zhang Yuxuan thought After thinking about it, I finally decided to give it a try, maybe it would really work.

After all, there are many actors in their thirties playing high school or college students, and they are even relatively common.

It's just that Zhang Yuxuan decided to try makeup first to see if the two of them can do it. If they really don't have the temperament of high school students, even if the two of them are artists of their own company, Zhang Yuxuan will still not choose these two.

After all, Zhang Yuxuan still has requirements for movies.
