Chapter 171 Smiling Proudly Finished VS Needs More Money! (two in one)

Zhang Guorong came to Lu Heng, of course not to be Yang Fan's lobbyist, it was by the way, mainly because he had already completed the work arrangement there and came to report to Lu Heng.

The last time Lu Heng asked him to participate in the charity project of building a primary school, although Zhang Guorong knew that Lu Heng was considering his illness and felt that it would not have much effect, he still accepted it.

Just like what Lu Heng said, firstly, doing charity is real and can help many people. Second, he really doesn’t have too much utilitarianism in Xiangjiang. Whether it is acting or music, he has reached a bottleneck, and even awards are not enough. It doesn't matter if you don't take it.Coupled with physical reasons, interest is getting weaker and weaker, so it's better to do something meaningful.

Lu Heng shook hands with him: "This handshake is very meaningful, at least for you and me."

Indeed, this is a new beginning for Lu Heng's charity, and also the beginning of cooperation with Zhang Guorong.What if, his fate changed?
Yang Fan on the side heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he raised the camera hanging around his neck:
"Crack clap clap!"

I pressed the shutter many times in a row and adjusted several angles.

"Director Yang, are you done filming? My face and hands are almost numb." Zhang Guorong smiled.

"OK!" Yang Fan made a gesture and said with a smile, "This scene is really meaningful and worth remembering."

He already knew from Zhang Guorong what they were going to do next, and he admired it very much.

Ten years later, he auctioned a black-and-white photo he had taken for Zhang Guorong, and it was sold for 14 yuan, and the proceeds were used for charity.

Lu Heng was thinking, will this photo be developed for charity in the future?
So Lu Heng said: "Director Yang, can you wash a few more sheets for me later?"

"No problem!" Yang Fan made another OK gesture.

Many people in Xiangjiang like the mixture of Chinese and English, not to mention that Yang Fan once went to Hollywood and worked as a special actor for several years.

And Zhang Guorong let go of Lu Heng and said:
"Director Yang used to be a full-time photographer. Many big names in Xiangjiang asked him to take pictures, because he could take pictures of them very well and fit their ideal temperament. Run to Xiangjiang to find him to take pictures."

Worried that Lu Heng didn't know Yang Fan well, Zhang Guorong even introduced him to him.

But how could Lu Heng not know.Because there are very few directors in Xiangjiang who can shoot all famous beauties such as Zhang Aijia, Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu, Wang Zuxian, Zhong Chuhong, Wu Qianlian, Shu Qi and Zhang Xiaohui, and they are still characteristic literary films.

Since the 80s, Yang Fan was not satisfied with taking pictures, because he was a fellow himself, so from then on, he began to entrain secretly, until he filmed "The Queen of the Demon Street" in 95, and directly turned it into a clear one.

Someone once commented that if "Beautiful Boy's Love" is about how Wu Yanzu can straighten a straight man; then this "Garden in a Dream" is about how Wu Yanzu can straighten a curvy girl.

This evaluation is very accurate, and basically sums up the two movies in one sentence.

In many cases, literary films are as simple as that.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Yang Fan smiled and shook hands.

"Director Yang is too polite."

Then Lu Heng took them to his hotel room. Fortunately, it was cleaned every day, and there was no special smell.

Lu Heng made tea with the Maojian that Wang Yu left for him, and poured the tea while saying:

"How did Director Yang think of looking for me?"

Of course, Yang Fan didn't say that he wanted to find Wu Yanzu at first, otherwise he would have treated Lu Heng as a backup, but said with a smile:

"Originally one of the heroines was chosen as Guxian, and the other one I thought about for a long time before deciding on Miyazawa Rie, because I liked her plays very much before."

Lu Heng thought in his heart...you didn't fall in love with Tang Seng in the Japanese version of "Journey to the West" she played, did you?

But Zhang Guorong made up for it on the side:

"Rie Miyazawa has the title of the Japanese version of Wang Zuxian in Neon."

Suddenly, Lu Heng couldn't help laughing.

Yang Fan was not embarrassed, but nodded and smiled: "There are all these reasons, and you have a high reputation not only in Xiangjiang, in Baodao, but also in Japan and South Korea. This is the main reason."

Faced with his frankness, Lu Heng was not surprised, after all, Zhang Guorong was by his side.

Although the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang had a look at the current Lu Henggao, it was not that high, and it was more because of Lu Heng's reputation in Nihong.Now Lu Heng's album has surpassed Wang Fei there, and is closely behind Zhang Guorong.However, Zhang Guorong's work has been suspended, and Lu Heng will definitely release a new album in the future, and it is only a matter of time before his sales exceed his.

Lu Heng then read the script he brought, and while flipping through it, Yang Fan said, "I want you to play the leading role of Xing Zhigang."

This "A Dream in a Garden" was when Yang Fan participated in the Cannes Film Festival before. He saw Mr. Zhang Jiqing, a drama master who came to Europe to promote Kunqu opera, perform "A Dream in a Garden" on stage, and he was immediately fascinated. The idea of ​​making such a movie came up.

Back in Xiangjiang, Yang Fan found the novel "A Dream in the Garden" written by Bai Xianyong. After reading it several times, inspiration gradually came to his mind, so he began to prepare.

Yang Fan set the story in Gusu in the 30s, and the protagonist is Cuihua, a singing girl from Deyuelou played by Rie Miyazawa... This name made Lu Heng want to complain.

Cuihua fascinated countless men with her beauty and Kunqu opera singing, but in the end she married into Rongfu and became a concubine.

And Ronglan, played by Wang Zuxian, is a side branch of Rongfu, and also likes opera. Cuihua's life in Rongfu is not easy, so she sings with Ronglan from time to time to pass the time, one sings Liu Mengmei, and the other sings Du Liniang. With feelings.

In the school where Ronglan works, the arrival of Xing Zhigang, an inspector from the Education Department, brought unexpected fluctuations in the lives of Cuihua and Ronglan.Rong Lan fell in love with Xing Zhigang at first sight, but the relationship between the two ended in Xing Zhigang's departure, leaving only two helpless women, Cuihua and Ronglan.

A touch of elegance, a touch of sadness, a gloomy atmosphere and subversive emotions constitute the main line of this film.

This should be regarded as the only movie with a complete plot among Yang Fan's works, and the other one is "Pretty Boy Love".

Moreover, this movie not only allowed Miyazawa Rie to win the best actress award at the Moscow Film Festival, but also had several nominations for the Golden Horse and Golden Elephant.

Touching his chin, Lu Heng felt that it could be better, for example... Xing Zhigang's role as the male protagonist seems to be a little less here, at least he must be in line with the male protagonist's title, right?
In addition, Lu Heng hasn't won the leading actor award yet, so he can fight for it, at least he needs to be nominated for the best actor-according to the current situation, the greatest probability is the Neon Edo Film Festival.

It's hard to make a movie that can be the hero and fit the image. Lu Heng has to pursue it a little bit, or what else is he trying to do?
In fact, with his current development and status, he can already be a dedicated boss, develop film and television, the Internet, and real estate, and live a retired life. The reason why he continues to film is because of his interest.

Therefore, this play has to be changed!
After flipping through, Lu Heng closed the short script and turned to look at Yang Fan:
"I can take it, but I have a few requirements. If Director Yang can meet it, then there will be no problem."

"please say."

"If you invite me, how much will the salary be?"

Lu Heng asked the first question bluntly. Although Yang Fan was surprised, Zhang Guorong also looked at him curiously, but neither of them asked any more questions. Yang Fan stretched out four fingers:
"My investment is limited, and the salary is only 40."

Yang Fan looked at Lu Heng nervously, but Lu Heng didn't raise any objection. He nodded slightly and said, "What about Miyazawa Rie and Wang Zuxian?"

Yang Fan hesitated for a moment, but said honestly: "The two of them have more roles, both of which are 50 yuan. In fact, they both participated in the performance at a reduced price."

Of course Lu Heng knew about their market. Take Wang Zuxian as an example, the current salary is at least 200 million, so he gave a thumbs up: "Director Yang really has face."

"It's all old friends." Yang Fan said modestly.

Lu Heng nodded, and said: "Although Xing Zhigang is the lead male, there are too few scenes, and more of them are like catalysts, letting Ronglan know that she can like men too. So... we have to add scenes."

Yang Fan was startled, but didn't say anything, waiting for Lu Heng to continue.

Lu Heng said again: "During filming, I also need to participate in the revision of the plot, but director Yang, don't worry, I will discuss with you and finally reach an agreement."

Yang Fan nodded, this is actually not a big problem for him, because he used to shoot Yi Shu's novels, and he also likes to change them.And this Yi Shu is Ni Kuang's younger sister.

Then Yang Fan asked: "Is there any more?"

Lu Heng said: "Since the role has been added, the money has to be added."

Yang Fan was taken aback for a moment, and was immediately amused, but he didn't object immediately, but thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, can you invest?"

Lu Heng smiled: "This is my last request. I also need investment in the film and television I participate in."

"That would be great." Yang Fan was overjoyed!
Zhang Guorong next to him laughed loudly: "Director Yang doesn't need to sell paintings anymore."

Yang Fan also laughed.

Seeing Lu Heng's puzzled face, Zhang Guorong explained:

"Because director Yang's literary and artistic films did not do very well at the box office, it was difficult to attract investment. Once he couldn't stand the arrogance of the investors, so he walked away and sold a painting after returning home, so he got together the filming funds. .”

Lu Heng was stunned: "Can't you tell that Director Yang is still a collector?"

Yang Fan smiled and waved his hands:

"It's not that exaggerated. When I was a photographer, I liked calligraphy, paintings and antiques. In Xiangjiang in the 70s, these things were not too expensive, but they were not cheap when I took pictures, so I bought a lot of them. I didn't expect them to appreciate in value later. .”

Zhang Guorong retorted: "You are so light-hearted. Who doesn't know that you sold a Wen Zhengming landscape hand scroll when you shot "The Story of Roses", which broke Sotheby's Chinese painting transaction record. "Golden Years", sold Zhang Daqian's painting, and broke his own record, which one is not 200 million Hong Kong dollars, but that is the 80s."

"You understand it quite clearly." Yang Fan couldn't laugh or cry: "Forget it, don't talk about it, I want to feel bad once and for all."

Zhang Guorong said to Lu Heng again: "Do you know why he doesn't object to you changing the script?"

"What?" Lu Heng was really curious.

Zhang Guorong said with a smile: "It's also "The Story of Roses". Director Yang adapted Yi Shu's novel. After it was released, Mr. Cai Lan told Director Yang that Yi Shu cried after watching it. Director Yang thought it was because he was moved and cried. In the end, Mr. Cai Said: Yi Shu cried because of your adaptation."

Before Lu Heng laughed, Yang Fan couldn't help laughing, and then Lu Heng didn't have to bear it anymore, and laughed.

Looking at Zhang Guorong, Lu Heng said in his heart that it is really you, if you have something to say in front of others, not behind your back.

They talked and laughed, but they were quite harmonious.

In the end, it was agreed that the budget would be made after the film was re-adapted, and then the investment share would be determined.

As for Lu Heng, the cast has been confirmed and the contract has been initialed.

Although this movie did not cause much trouble in the previous life, at most it was because of the participation of Wang Zuxian and Wu Yanzu, as well as some deleted scenes, which made people talk about it. different place.

After confirming these, Yang Fan was relieved, and Lu Heng was also happy, calling Wang Yu and Zhang Min over, together with Xu Qing and Fan Binbin, they had a meal together.

Seeing Zhang Guorong, Fan Binbin and Xu Qing were shocked, and after exclaiming, they rushed over and hugged.

And Zhang Min became more familiar with him, and called him brother kindly.

During the dinner, when he learned that Zhang Guorong was going to be stationed in the Mainland and that he was doing charity work with Lu Heng, Wang Yu immediately said, "Count me in!"

Zhang Jizhong and Xu Qing also want to donate.

Lu Heng smiled and said: "Don't worry, let's try to do it first. We don't know what the situation is yet. There are many opportunities to turn around. You don't have to worry about not spending the money."

Hearing what Lu Heng said, they gave up for the time being.

But Lu Heng's idea was that he didn't want to make it so complicated at the beginning. After all, it was a donation, and it would be troublesome if there were too many sources. He also had to review a bunch of things. After all, he had already established a charity fund, not a personal account.

After Ma Xia arrived, together with the company's fund personnel and Zhang Guorong's assistant, they boarded the plane: "Safe trip!"

Yang Fan stayed and changed the script with Lu Heng.

While Lu Heng was filming during the day, Yang Fan was also thinking about the changes made when the two collided the night before, and then continued to collide at night.

Because of this, Lu Heng's poetry reciting and ocean wave projects were cancelled, which made Xu Qing and the others feel more and more unhappy with Yang Fan.

Lu Heng said in his heart, it's a good thing you don't know this guy is the same, otherwise you should worry about whether your man will be bent by him.

Half a month later, Yang Fan, who had finalized the script, returned to Xiangjiang with the script. He was going to start budgeting again, and Lu Heng also transferred two budget specialists from the company——brothers also had to settle accounts clearly, and everything was done in the future. It is more convenient to calculate at the beginning, so as not to hurt feelings and conflicts in the end.

And at this time, most of the scenes of "Swordsman" have been filmed, and it is estimated that it will be almost over in mid-July.

Filming started in April, and it will have been three months by then. For other dramas, the [-]-episode shooting time can only be said to be quite satisfactory, but for this martial arts drama, it is already very fast.

The only thing that made Lu Heng and the others complain was wearing costumes and headgear during the dog days. That taste... Lu Heng felt that it was more bitter than backpacking and walking mountain roads in Xiangxi.

　Thanks to Meihua Sannong and Meihuazui for rewarding the character, once again the rain and dew are all covered, big brother 666, but today Lu Heng also succeeded (*^▽^*)
