This director needs to apologize

Chapter 196 Screaming from a distance Top Vase
  The two of them had just been discussing the matter to be reported to Mr. Ma, but the latter had already called without thinking about it.

Da Zhuang hummed and hung up the phone, and said to Chen Yiming, "Let's go, dinner is ready for tonight, I will be the mediator, and someone will specially invite you to the banquet."

Chen Yiming asked strangely, "I just returned to Magic City, how did the second uncle know?"

Da Zhuang said disapprovingly, "I can inquire about things from the demon shadow, but can't my dad place a few spies in Bo Jue?"

Chen Yiming smiled and said, "You two are really interesting. Why don't you film Infernal Affairs here?"

Da Zhuang stood up and asked Chen Yiming to go with him. As he walked, he asked, "What about Infernal Affairs? Is there a movie like this?"

Chen Yiming accidentally let it slip, so he had to answer vaguely, "The script I conceived is a story about the police and gangs sending undercover agents to each other. If the second uncle can come forward, what is the background of the other party?"

When Da Zhuang heard that it was a script, he lost interest and skipped the first half of the sentence and replied, "I didn't say anything on the phone. It's probably not official, maybe it's a big boss.

You don’t know, Xiaomei is crazy busy these days. Several employers keep recommending actors. Some are signed by their own companies, some are looking for connections through roundabout ways, and some are directly paid to lead the way to join the group. It’s just a mess anyway.

Master Zhu, you have to make up your mind early, otherwise it won't end well if this continues.

Right now, there is just a little bit of gossip outside, but in a few days the conflict will come to light, and public opinion will be difficult to control. "

Chen Yiming shrugged and replied, "You have to get used to it. The current development of commercial blockbusters is normal, and the calm situation like "Holiday" and "1951" is an anomaly.

That’s why I only decided on the first female lead and the second male lead. There was nothing I could do, the preparation time was too long, and it was too long before filming started. I just decided on the actors now. Do you think there won’t be any changes later?

Just tear it up, just tear it up until there is a result before shooting starts.

There are no boy or girl characters in this film, and the professional capabilities of young and middle-aged actors in the industry are still limited. To me, as long as they are professional actors, anyone can be a part, there is not much difference. "

Da Zhuang turned on his car, the two of them got in the car one on the left and the other on the right. The Mazda started and drove towards Nancheng.

"I said, why are you not in a hurry? It turns out you are sitting on the Diaoyutai.

But you are leaving a message to others like this. The little king of Didu shouted to you from the air two days ago, advising you to focus more and less hype. There are still thousands of miles before the movie is released. It is too annoying to dominate the headlines now. . "

Chen Yiming burst out laughing, where are you?

"I haven't offended Wang Xiaogang, right? We only met him once, and we didn't even exchange a few words with him.

But after that contact, I felt that he was indeed quite arrogant, pointing his nostril at me the whole time. "

Da Zhuang explained with a smile, "Your Majesty called me that night and said that he wanted to contact you directly, but your phone was turned off. He said that Xiao Gang was hyping his disaster movie, and he went too far. Please bear with me.

When it comes to popularity, it has to be the king. When "Love to Death" and "Holiday in the City" were paired together, he and I cooperated so well that there was no need for communication at all.

Look at Xiao Wang now. He only has one word, rough! "

Chen Yiming sighed, "When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves!"

Da Zhuang laughed at him, "Who told you to be so popular? As long as Chen Yiming is mentioned in the news headline, there will be clicks. As long as the actor's news is touched by "Mulan", it will become popular."

Chen Yiming said leisurely, "It's so cold at high places. The spectators like to lift people to the sky and then watch them fall from the height. The more embarrassing and tragic the fall, the happier the spectators are."

The car stopped at Mu Miao Teahouse, and the two got out of the car and went to the Huaiyang Restaurant next door to the teahouse. This was regarded as Ma Erye's "stronghold", and it was his first choice to drink tea, talk about business, and eat here.

The girl at the front desk led them all the way to the largest private room. After the two of them entered, they found that there were only three people in the room.

Mr. Ma and a man of similar age were sitting across from each other on two single sofas by the window, drinking tea and chatting.

Beside that man, there was a beautiful girl sitting, her head turned sideways and looking out the window, only half of her face exposed.

However, just from the profile, she is already astonishingly beautiful, with fair skin, delicate eyebrows, long black hair, and a plain dress, giving her a feeling of tranquility.

Noticing the two people coming in, the three people at the window all turned their heads. The man made a refined comment, while the girl's front face was even more stunning than her profile.

Anyway, from Chen Yiming's point of view as a director, the girl in front of him is very "fairy". She belongs to the kind of top-notch vase whose personality is unclear and difficult to classify, but can directly increase points in the movie.

Actresses may object to the positioning of a vase, but for the director, this word actually has a positive meaning.

Not every actress can be a vase. The big screen is very demanding, and any flaws will be ruthlessly magnified. Only those who can withstand close-up scrutiny from multiple angles can be considered a qualified vase. As for the top-grade vase, it is already a muse-level existence in the director's mind, and it is even more rare to find.

For the first time, Chen Yiming found that pure oriental "fairy" in a girl. He felt that this girl could make a steady job in the Chinese entertainment industry just by relying on her face.

After a startling glance, Chen and Ma turned their heads to the left and right in tacit agreement, avoiding the direct gaze of the girl opposite them.

Second Master Ma called the two of them over to sit down and introduced the man and woman next to them.

The middle-aged man's surname is Jin and his given name is Chen Fei. He is a big boss from the imperial capital. In the words of the second uncle, he is the pioneer of Chinese cultural real estate.

The young girl's name is An Xixi, boss Jin's goddaughter. He looks childish, but he was born in 87 and is already 24 years old. He just returned from studying abroad in Nuts last year and is currently studying for a master's degree at the Imperial Film Academy.

As soon as the background lighted up, the two brothers Chen and Ma roughly understood each other's purpose, and it was inevitable that it was the casting of "Mulan".

Thinking about it, the outside world doesn't know that "Mulan" is a modified version of Mulan's poem. Doesn't An Meizi's age match the Mulan in the poem?
  After the greetings, everyone came to sit down at the round table in the middle of the room. After the food was served, they ate and chatted.

Boss Jin is indeed engaged in "cultural real estate". He is very knowledgeable and quite talkative.

An Meizi is on the other extreme. She sits upright with a smile and rarely opens her mouth. She rarely eats or talks, but she maximizes the role of the vase.

When men chatted, they only talked about ancient, modern, Chinese and foreign, so the topic quickly turned to Chen Yiming's project.

Jin Chenfei picked up the wine glass and reached over to touch it with Chen Yiming, and said with emotion, "Director Chen, since you won the Oscar at the beginning of the year, I knew you would definitely make a historical blockbuster.

How is it now? I guessed it.

Great Chinese directors will make a Chinese historical film no matter what, without exception. "

Chen Yiming took a sip and spat out half of it, then pointed at Mr. Ma, "Boss Jin guessed wrong this time. It's really not that I have any great director complex, it's just that I was chased away by Uncle Ma."

Second Master Ma smiled and interjected to smooth things over, "It's not entirely wrong. I showed Yiming 4 books, and he picked Hua Mulan alone. If he really doesn't want to drink water, can I still force him to press his head?" "

Jin Chenfei smiled heartily and agreed, "This is what heroes think alike. Director Ma builds a nest to attract the phoenix, and Director Chen follows the current."

The Ma family and his son followed along in amusement, while Chen Yiming smiled and said nothing, quietly waiting for Boss Jin to perform.

He wanted to see where Boss Jin had the confidence to dream of taking advantage of the situation one month after the lead role was cast.

Chen Yiming sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. As the middleman, Ma Erye couldn't leave the distinguished guest there. Taking the opportunity of turning the table, he turned the topic to An Xixi, who was concentrating on accompanying the guest.

"Xiao An is eating food, and it feels like you haven't even moved your chopsticks a few times. Is the food not to your liking?"

An Meizi pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head, symbolically holding a chopstick of lilies, and then began to sit quietly again.

Chen Yiming, who was observing secretly, found it somewhat interesting. It seemed that Boss Jin was the emperor and not the eunuch. The real owner seemed to have no enterprising spirit.

In the past six months, Chen Yiming was forced to attend several industry dinners by Da Zhuang, and he also had close encounters with several so-called goddesses on the screen. It cannot be said that there is a brave new world, but it can only be said that his soul was shocked.

It’s true that there are people who can eat with peace of mind, but the style of the pie is not that of An Meizi. This seems to be a bit of a loss of face for Dama Dong.

Chen Yiming could only draw one conclusion about this. The girl was also forced to come here, and she was playing tricks on her godfather.

Boss Jin, who had always been at ease since the meeting, was now a little unable to hold himself tight. He smiled apologetically at Mr. Ma and brought the topic to Chen Yiming again.

This time he stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point, "Director Chen, our Xixi studied acting at Nuts, and her dream is to be a good actor. She especially admires you, Director Chen, and told me more than once that she hopes to appear in Director Chen's in the movie.

Xixi, before you talked about Mulan, you were very fair. Now that the great director who filmed Mulan is right in front of you, why are you speechless? "

Several men looked at the girl, but they lowered their eyes and focused on the empty plate in front of them.

The atmosphere in the private room was extremely awkward. Chen Yiming felt a little sorry for Jin's father. There was no way that a small cotton-padded jacket like this, which was leaking air from all directions, would not be unprotected.

A beautiful girl can stay sixteen forever, but a man like Chen Yiming cannot be without grace. He took the initiative and asked, "I am very interested in Miss An's thoughts. What kind of person is Mulan in your eyes?"

This time An Xixi reacted. She raised her head, her eyelids still lowered, and said word by word, "She is the woman I want to be. She is emotional, impulsive, trusts intuition, and bravely chooses an unknown path. And always keep the faith.”
