China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 399 "Smartness" and "Courage" [Two in One]

Speaking of "Painted Skin 2", although the project has been established, and Ning Hao has already mastered the power of the crew, it is still early before the real start.

Because besides casting, there is still a lot of work that Ning Hao needs to prepare.

It's just a little surprising that this time Ning Hao was the first to prepare for the establishment of the art department.And from concept design to art style, he is involved in almost every detail.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to the movie screen this time.

It can be said that such a move is very disturbing to Ning Hao!

But Gao Fei is happy to see it succeed.

After all, innovation is a good thing for a successful director like Ning Hao.

Although it's a bit risky, at least he's not like Poet Chen, who takes a movie for a lifetime!

So with Gao Fei's support, Ning Hao played more vigorously.

From studio props to weapon design and production, he strives to be realistic in every step.Especially the general's mansion in the script is the most important thing that Ning Hao pays attention to.

I don't know if the director is a bit obsessive-compulsive and obsessive about details.

But other people Gao Fei didn't know, but Ning Hao might have some.

Because he even had to look at the stone slabs in the general's mansion, the screen doors, screens, pillars, and the contents of the painted screens in the main hall.

Only after he nodded, the art team and props team could start setting up the scene.

In this way, the preparatory work for the film will naturally become more and more arduous.

Fortunately, Ye Jingtian was hired for the art design of "Painted Skin 2" this time, so although the preparations for the film were cumbersome and heavy, they were busy and not chaotic.

It's just that in this way, it's rare for Gao Fei to be free.

So he didn't have to rush into the filming group, so he gave himself a little vacation.

……

10 month 8 day.

Saturday morning, ten thirty.

When the migrant workers suffering from post-holiday syndrome were going to work feebly, Gao Fei galloped leisurely on the racecourse.

Horseshoes step on the morning sun, and the autumn wind blows softly.

That is a chic and unrestrained, comfortable mood!
It's just that such a free and easy situation is actually quite annoying sometimes.

At least at this moment, Zhao Liying's eyes are turning red with envy outside the pasture, and she even has the urge to strike in her heart.

And a certain greasy bald guy who came with her couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"This is life!"

However, when he thought that his family was only forty but could not even attract tens of millions of investment, and that Gao Fei, who was much younger than him, could have such a large horse farm around the capital, Xu Zheng suddenly felt that he had been in vain all these years. alive.

It's just that as soon as this emotion arose, Xu Zheng suppressed it, because his trip was not for pantothenic acid, but to find money.

Thinking of this, the greasy smile on Xu Zheng's face suddenly became a little bit brighter.

At the same time, Gao Fei, who had galloped around the river on horseback, also felt a little tired, so he turned and walked back.

When he saw Zhao Liying and Xu Zheng waiting not far away, Gao Fei couldn't help but glanced at them in surprise.

But I really can't imagine how the two of them got together.

And judging from the posture of the two of them, it is obvious that they are not here to play, so Gao Fei is not in a hurry to wash the horse when he thinks of this.

After handing Heifeng, who was covered in sweat, to the staff on the side, Gao Feidang, dressed in riding attire, jumped out neatly while supporting the fence on the sidelines with one hand.

Seeing this situation, Xu Zheng on the side suddenly gave a thumbs up with a smile on his face and praised:
"Beautiful! Mr. Gao, your skills are really neat, and you are worthy of being the new generation of Kung Fu Emperor!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help laughing and shook his head immediately.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

"I can't bear this title!"

But even though he knew that Xu Zheng was flattering on purpose, Gao Fei was still very happy.

After all, if you wear thousands of clothes, don't flatter you!

After the two exchanged a few words of pleasantries, Zhao Liying on the side also briefly talked about the process of their acquaintance.

It turned out that when filming "People on the Journey", because the crew had a limited budget, they had to choose to shoot real scenes at the Spring Festival travel festival.

It can be said that the whole film was produced by the crew following the Spring Festival travel tide.

Even when the director Ye Weixin was too busy, some of the scenes were filmed by Xu Zheng.

But as the heroine of the movie, Zhao Liying became acquainted with Xu Zheng.

Because it was her first heroine in a movie, she held a very important position in Zhao Liying's heart.

Seeing what Zhao Liying said, Gao Fei's mind was immediately affected.

So he suddenly said:
"Oh, I remembered, was it the movie where the leading lady fooled you?"

It is said that not long after Little Round Face became popular, a movie came to him and asked her to play the leading role, so she was really proud of it.

Therefore, after the movie was released, Xiao Zhao asked for his own money and invited Gao Fei and Han Li to watch the movie.

It's just that I didn't expect the final product to be a bit embarrassing.

The promised heroine didn't meet, but there were quite a few messy scenes.

And there is no heroine in the whole film at all.

It can be said that it really made Xiaoyuan lose face for a while as an adult!
Because of this incident, classmate Xiao Zhao almost had a shadow of the movie theater, and he didn't dare to enter the movie theater for several years.

Seeing what Gao Fei said, Zhao Liying suddenly remembered the experience of watching a movie that almost killed her, so she couldn't help but blushed and said:
"Oh, it's not like this. Besides, Sister Han also read the script back then. It's not a lie."

Xu Zheng even explained with some embarrassment when he heard the words:

"That's true, Mr. Gao."

"At the beginning, not only Li Ying, but also Baoqiang, Li Xiaolu, and Li Man's scenes were deleted a lot."

"By the way, the girl from Chengdu who plays Bao Qiang's girlfriend is the worst."

"At that time, because the review comments were vague, the producer was in a hurry, so the director simply deleted all her scenes."

Hearing this, Gao Fei nodded slightly.

If so, the inexplicable plots of "People on Journey" can be explained.

Thinking like this, Gao Fei skipped this matter.

But then again, until now Gao Fei was still a little curious about Xu Zheng's intentions.

Because he and Xu Zheng knew each other when they were filming "Crazy Stone".

Although it is only the kind of acquaintance who nods, it can be regarded as an old acquaintance.

Therefore, if Xu Zheng wants to visit him, he should not need Zhao Liying to recommend him at all.

So Gao Fei immediately didn't bother to talk any more, and straight to the point asked the two of them why they came.

It's just that what Gao Fei didn't expect was that this matter had something to do with the movie "On the Journey".

……

It is precisely because of the director experience of the crew of "People on the Journey" that they chased ducks to the shelves that made Xu Zhengsheng want to be a director.

It's just that although the idea is good, Xu Zheng has been unable to attract investment for a long time.

Although he has compressed all the budgets to the extreme, there is still no investor willing to hand over 3000 million to him for squandering.

Even to some extent, he can be regarded as a well-known actor.

But actors are actors, and it is not so easy to cross borders.

Although Xu Jinglei and Yu Feihong seem to have transformed from actors to directors with ease, the methods of these two are not something Xu Zheng can learn.

(⊙o⊙)...No, Xu Jinglei's method cannot be learned, but Yu Feihong's method Xu Zheng can try a thing or two.

only……

Looking at Xu Zheng's current appearance, it is obvious that he does not have the courage of Yu Feihong to break the boat.

Otherwise, although 3000 million is a lot, in terms of Xu Zheng's net worth, I am afraid it is not much worse.

We must know that houses in Shanghai are not cheap. If Xu Zheng is willing to sell his house and car, he can still make up most of it.

Even in Gao Fei's opinion, the investors he had contacted before may not be really not interested in Xu Zheng's project.

It's just that he didn't dare to spend money to gamble, so he didn't want to take the risk.

I have to say that since becoming the boss, Gao Fei has unconsciously changed a lot in his way of seeing things.

Thinking of this, even though Gao Fei hasn't read the script yet, he has no interest in this project anymore.

Even with Zhao Liying's introduction, even if Xu Zheng was his acquaintance.

But, business is business!
Thinking in this way, Gao Fei didn't rush to ask to read the script, but walked on the lawn, and said softly with a smile on his face:
"The idea is good, but being a director is not so easy!"

Seeing what Gao Fei said, Xu Zheng's heart suddenly sank slightly.

As the saying goes, listen to the sound.

As soon as Gao Fei said this, Xu Zheng immediately understood his attitude.

Although he didn't know Gao Fei's reaction and why it was similar to those of the previous investors, Xu Zheng still felt a little reconciled.

So after pondering for a moment, he saw him wryly smile and said in a dejected way:

"I know it's not easy!"

"It's just that I'm not reconciled!"

"Since no one asks me to make a movie, then I will praise myself!"

Having said that, Xu Zheng immediately looked at Gao Fei with a resolute expression, and sincerely asked:
"Mr. Gao, please give me a chance to read the book!"

Seeing his appearance, Gao Fei couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Regardless of whether this is self-defeating or not, at least this courage is good.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Xu Zheng was overjoyed immediately, and quickly took out a document from his bag and handed it to Gao Fei.

A thick stack, the weight is not light.

Gao Fei opened it and found that he had nailed the project plan and the script together, so he shook his head amusedly.

But still didn't say anything, just leaned against the fence and watched.

Seeing this, Xu Zheng was slightly relieved.

……

A quarter of an hour later, when Gao Fei put down the document in his hand, he already had some calculations in his mind.

How should I put it... The script is not bad, but there are many flaws!

This "Tai囧" is obviously taking the route of being both solemn and harmonious.

In addition to being funny, there is no lack of affection.

But this is also the case, so the strength of the actors is especially tested.

Especially the role of "Baby" in the script, to some extent, is even more important than the actor "Xu Lang" played by Xu Zheng himself.

Because this character almost concentrates most of the jokes in the film, he is often responsible for detonating the most enthusiastic laughs.

So if this role is not chosen well, it will have a great impact on the movie.

However, comedy movies are not for everyone.

You must know that although there are many actors in the circle with first-class acting skills, they just can't act in comedy, and even make people play no matter how they act.

If not, there would be no such thing as "eye edge".

Moreover, this film is a purely male drama. Although the three male protagonists in the film have their own merits, in the eyes of film investors, this is an out-and-out poisonous point.

Because the reason why "vase actors" can still exist for a long time in the global film and television industry is because they have a certain value.

To sum up, it's no wonder that Xu Zheng has been unable to attract investment.

After all, from the script to him, almost all points are deducted. How can you let others dare to spend money?
It is true that they have money, but money does not just fall from the sky!

only……

Although the risk of this project is not small, Gao Fei has the intention to invest.

Because what he is worried about now is that there is no reliable project, which makes him unable to spend money even if he has money.

So he immediately put down the script and glanced at Xu Zheng, who was nervous, with a smile that was not a smile, and then in his uneasy eyes, he said softly:

"I've also roughly reviewed the plans in the future. The budget is well done, and 3000 million is indeed not expensive!"

"But you are only counting the production cost, not the publicity fee... Which country's rules are it?"

As soon as he said this, Xu Zheng was dumbfounded, and he couldn't help showing a hint of embarrassment and disappointment on his face.

Just when Xu Zheng thought he was going to return without success this time, Gao Fei suddenly said again:

"But this book is not bad, um, at least I like it."

"Don't pick and choose, 5000 million, Zhou Yi voted!"

"You don't need to worry about the production team. The strength of our Zhouyi behind-the-scenes team is not far behind in the country, not to mention the first or second."

"You just need to feel at ease filming and acting!"

When hearing this sentence, Xu Zheng was stunned.

He never expected that Gao Fei not only agreed to invest, but also took the initiative to increase the budget.

This made Xu Zheng unable to react for a while.

Even Gao Fei's nanny-like operation made Xu Zheng so flattered that he wanted to cry.

There is no way, happiness comes too fast, Xu Zheng is still a little uncomfortable!

Xu Zheng, who just came back to his senses very quickly, thanked Gao Fei in various ways with excitement on his face.

Even Zhao Liying at the side couldn't bear to look at that happy grin.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before Chen Zhixi arrived after receiving Gao Fei's call, and Gao Fei was able to ask the excited Xu Zheng.

After watching the two leave in a hurry, Gao Fei suddenly couldn't help looking at Zhao Liying who was beside him curiously and asked:
"There is obviously no suitable role for you in this play, how did you think about being such a good person?"

Because she has been with Gao Fei for the longest time, sometimes Zhao Liying doesn't seem out of touch in front of Gao Fei.

So she gave Gao Fei a blank look and said helplessly:

"Boss, not everything has to be profitable."

"Anyway, it's just a matter of helping me out. It doesn't matter to me whether it succeeds or not. What is there to consider?"

Hearing this, Gao Fei didn't care about Assistant Zhao's act of "offending the superior". After all, when she was an assistant, she often stabbed him in the heart.

So Gao Fei immediately shook his head with a casual smile and said:

"This is your style. You have no brains and are loyal."

"I just don't know if other people will remember your favor when they are developed!"

Seeing what Gao Fei said, Zhao Liying immediately couldn't help but muttered in dissatisfaction:
"What do you mean brainless? I'm just too lazy to use my brain. Well, I'm smart!"

It's just that her wise words obviously didn't convince Gao Fei.

Even Gao Fei wanted to laugh a little.

So Zhao Liying, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally...turned around and left.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei finally couldn't help but shook his head with a laugh.
