Chapter 74 The Movie "The Family of Thieves"

Changnian Building, Mars Film and Television

"Boss Lu, your appointment has arrived." The female secretary knocked on the door and brought a family of three in.

A couple with a six-year-old daughter.

"Pour some cups of tea and bring a bottle of milk for the little girl." Lu Chen got up and sat down on the sofa, motioning the family of three to sit opposite.

Lu Chen's film prepared for the Cannes International Film Festival.

It was "The Thief Family" filmed by the director of the island country in the previous life.

This warm movie won numerous awards in the previous life, and the biggest award was the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival.

In addition, the culture of the island country comes from the country of Hua.

For the background and story in the movie, it will not be acclimatized.

This movie can make more people pay attention to the life of the lower class people in big cities.

Directors such as Zhang Yingmou like to shoot rural stories, and few directors make movies about the life of low-class people in big cities. This "Stealers" is a brand new attempt.

Today's interview is for the role of the little girl picked up by the actor in the movie.

This character is young.

Really hard to find.

One is that the age cannot be exceeded, and certain acting skills are required.

"Thank you!" Guan Shaozeng took the tea from the female secretary, and beside him was his wife and six-year-old daughter Guan Xiaotong.

Guan Xiaotong looked at Lu Chen innocently with big eyes, and heard from his father that this big brother wanted to find him to make a movie.

Dad also said.

The big brother in front of him is very powerful.

Is a Golden Bear winner.

This year's "A World Without Thieves", "Crazy Stone", and "On the Journey" were all filmed by him, and he also served as the screenwriter of the film, which is really amazing.

"Mr. Guan, let's get straight to the point." Lu Chen took out a playbook and handed it over, "Let your daughter perform a part of this play."

About the actor of the little girl in "Shoplifters".

Have seen two before.

Neither is very suitable.

Lu Chen also became anxious, time waits for no one, next year he has to shoot "Let the Bullets Fly", and the filming of "A Family of Thieves" cannot exceed the time limit.

Suddenly I remembered a little girl I met at the Golden Rooster Awards.

Guan Xiaotong.

The movie "Warm" she starred in was also shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award.

I had an impression at the time.

Let the company's people be responsible for contacting.

Of course, the previous life was even more impressive. In the previous life, Lu Chen had to call Sister Guan Xiaotong, but now Guan Xiaotong is still a little girl over six years old.

Don't look at Guan Xiaotong as a child, but he has participated in works such as "The Ups and Downs of the Sea of ​​Smoke", "Movie Past", "Thrilling".

At a young age, he already has acting experience.

This is exactly the little actor "Shoplifters" needs.

Of course, Guan Xiaotong was able to act since he was a child. His elders were not easy. His father, Guan Shao, was from an art troupe and had acted in many works. He trained Guan Xiaotong and taught her how to act.

Guan Xiaotong's grandfather is even better. He is the second-generation successor of Shanqin Dagu, the creator of Qinshu, and the director of Huaguo Artists Association.

Guan Shao once took the playbook from Lu Chen, read it carefully first, and then told his daughter about the play.

Cherish this opportunity very much.

This is Director Lu.

A golden rooster and golden horse double best rookie Wang Baoqiang was selected.

It also made countless newcomers popular.

Received a call at that time.

Guan Shao once thought it was a liar, but in the end it was confirmed that it was true. Director Lu was really looking for his daughter. He was so excited that he hurriedly brought his daughter to Mars Film and Television at the appointed time.

"Daughter, remember what Dad said carefully." Guan Xiaotong's mother told her daughter to listen carefully. There is only this chance, and if you miss it, it will be gone.

"Mr. Guan, let your daughter perform in five minutes." Seeing Guan Shaozeng, Lu Chen has been teaching his daughter how to act. It seems that he intends to teach for an hour or two.

But there is not so much time to wait.

Take off the watch, put it on the table and start counting the time.

This made Guan Shaozeng and his wife nervous. The main reason is that Dao Lu has a strong aura, and the acting of the actors is all on his mind.

There are only 5 minutes left, I can't teach anymore, I have to let my daughter relax in these few minutes, "Xiaotong, don't be nervous, just act like usual."

Although Guan Shao once had no shortage of resources for his daughter.

but own resources.

There is a huge gap between Lu Dao's resources and resources.

If she can be selected and be favored by Director Lu, maybe her daughter will become an international movie star like Zhang Ziyi in the future.

"It's time, let's perform." Lu Chen put on his watch again.

"Xiaotong, just act normally." Guan Shaozeng urged.

"Well, Dad." Guan Xiaotong nodded, came to the empty space, and began to perform according to the script just now.

Guan Shaozeng clenched his fists to cheer up his daughter.

I understand that my daughter is taken by Director Lu.

What does it mean.

It's a sky-high opportunity.

"Xiaotong, good job." Guan Xiaotong's mother opened her arms and hugged Guan Xiaotong. Just now, her daughter's performance was at least on the passing line.

"Join the group in three days, and you guys will come too." Lu Chen settled down. Guan Xiaotong is young, but he does have acting skills, and he is worthy of being from a literary family.

As for letting Guan Xiaotong's parents follow her, it must be to take care of her. It is impossible for the crew to arrange someone to take care of Guan Xiaotong. If something happens, it will be easy to argue.

"Thank you Director Lu for your trust in my daughter, thank you!" Guan Shaozeng got up and thanked.

Guan Xiaotong's mother also asked her daughter to go and thank Director Lu.

"Go back and prepare. Remember, you will join the team on time in three days." Lu Chen returned to his desk.

Pick up the file above and look.

The above document is the investigation information on various aspects of the theater chains in the mainland of the country.

In order to break the record for "Let the Bullets Fly", Lu Chen made a lot of preparations for the early stage of the film.

Make a film to participate in the Cannes International Film Festival to build momentum for "Let the Bullets Fly".

Preparations have also been made for the cinema.

Since 2001, the state has successively released restrictions on private film investment and private theater investment, which has also ushered in a blowout growth for the film industry.

Now you can get a license for private theaters.

Lu Chen plans to enter the theater industry next year. First, enter the game as soon as possible to occupy a place in the theater.

The second is to increase the number of movie screens to prepare for the release of "Let the Bullets Fly", and then there will be more screens to play "Let the Bullets Fly".

New movies have to break records and there is no room for error.

……

Peiping, the crew of "The Thieves"

After Lu Chen decided on all the actors of "The Thieves", he immediately set up a crew.

A simple opening ceremony was held.

The movie "The Thieves" has officially entered the filming work.

This time Lu Chen filmed "A Family of Thieves", quite low-key, except for the people around him and the main staff, no one else was informed.

I also don't want to be disturbed, too many film and television bosses want to see me now.

Now I just want to focus on making movies.

"Teacher Fan Wei, this is the storyboard manuscript for the next scene, please take a look." Lu Chen picked up more than a dozen storyboard manuscripts, and the images on them are the next shot.

It allows the actors to better perform the effect that Lu Chen wants.

"A Family of Thieves" is going for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival. Unlike "Crazy Stone" and "On the Journey", this film must be refined. lose.
