This director needs to apologize

Chapter 295 Who is to blame if there is a wise man in the wild?

Director Fu Ruixiangfu, who has returned from overseas studies and is ready to show off his talents, has found a major task that requires full dedication in the coming period. He is gratified.

The "Jie Feng Banquet" that day was a complete success!
At the end of the show, Xiangrui solemnly "entrusted" An Xixi, who had come all the way from the imperial capital, to Chen Yiming. Before leaving, he said before leaving, "I will go back to retreat to work on the script. Yiming, you must treat Xixi well."

Chen Yiming rolled his eyes and complained secretly, "This girl's big house in Shanghai is several times bigger than my humble residence, so why do I need to entertain her?"
Of course, on the surface, I still have to express my gratitude to Xiangrui for "going with the flow".

On the way to send An Xixi back to the villa, Chen Yiming kindly asked her about her arrangements for the next few days, and asked in a straight-forward manner, "When will you return to the imperial capital?"

To put it bluntly, Chen Yiming really had no other meaning, it was just a casual question.

As a result, An Xixi became obviously angry and refused to communicate without saying a word, leaving Monk Chen Yiming and Zhang Er confused.

It wasn't until Chen Yiming talked to Da Zhuang on the phone at night that he realized what an unforgivable mistake he had made.

"Xixi's visit from the imperial capital will definitely not be a favor to Xiangrui. Why are you pretending to be stupid with me?

It would be better for you to just ask the girl when she will be back. Why, can't you wait to send her away so that you can enjoy yourself? "

Li Yangyang is okay, he is Xiaomei's deputy and the deputy director of Bojue's production department.

Wang Wei happily "invited" Chen Yiming to participate in the project discussion meeting held in the Earl's conference room the next day. In addition to Wang Wei and other three directors, producer Li Yangyang and starring Duan Yining will also be present.

The two met every day. Of course, Chen Yiming, a homebody, couldn't think of enough projects to fill his schedule. It was natural that An Xixi would make the decision for the next few days of travel.

The next day, Chen Yiming took her to the Magic Film Factory to play with equipment, then came down to visit teacher Ge Jiming, and then went to the Magic City Art Development Center to discuss the original soundtrack of "Mulan".

Chen Yiming feels that he has made great progress in his practical pursuit of girls. As expected, dealing with girls is two different things from making a love movie. Just understanding the theory is of little use.

As a result, Chen Yiming's plan of "going abroad for a leisurely trip" was completely ruined because An Xixi stayed in Shanghai for two weeks.

After the release of "1951" two years ago, Bo Jue joined during the recruitment expansion. He stood out when he was working on "Love Letter". He has been promoted to executive producer on "Mulan". "The Usual Suspects" is his first time to lead a group independently.

Mr. Ma didn't know where he heard the news from, and he called Chen Yiming with great relief, saying that it would be best to settle down, and that he, as the introducer, had fulfilled his mission after all.

Fortunately, the suffering eventually came to an end. After all, An Xixi's home was in the imperial capital. Although she was a little reluctant to leave, the girl said goodbye after half a month and went north.

Chen Yiming didn't even have the energy to "clarify" because he was exhausted from the "elegant" schedule these days. Every day he was more tired than being on the set filming.

Chen Yiming felt relieved for a moment. It was probably because he had been alone for too long. It was still a bit reluctant to enter the world of two people. In fact, he was not very used to it.

If I wasn't busy, I wouldn't know that he had thrown out so many things before!

It was not too late to remedy the situation, so Chen Yiming immediately called An Xixi, admitted his mistake without saying a word, and then made a direct invitation to invite her to see the exhibition with him the next day.

Afterwards, the two of them watched the exhibition together. Under the clever disguise, An Xixi, the "nation's first love", was not recognized by anyone. Of course, shopping after dinner was out of the question.

Under the banner of "bringing An Xixi to familiarize herself with the work behind the scenes of the movie", Chen Yiming also sorted out the long-standing backlog of trivial matters.

Thinking that he had nothing urgent to do in the near future, he was thinking about picking up the overseas travel plan that he had unfortunately thrown away before, but it turned out that as if he had made a special appointment, Wang Wei called him early the next morning.

The person on the other end of the phone finally responded, and the result was as expected, and he agreed readily.

The preliminary preparations for "The Usual Suspects" have come to an end!
Wang Defa!
So fast?
Didn’t you say it would take a month and a half?

Chen Yiming thought about it in his mind, and the question seemed to have a little meaning of "seeing off guests".

Chen Yiming was led by her to see many "worldly things", such as auctions, pottery classes, calligraphy and painting appreciation meetings, dog training classes, etc. A certain country bumpkin couldn't help but sigh that the life of the eldest lady was indeed extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, An Xixi's playfulness got out of hand.

According to Bojue's project system, bringing a group of producers to attend the project discussion meeting means that the project has officially entered a critical node.

At this time, the project will make a conclusion on the work of the current stage, and passing it means the phased completion of the project and the beginning of the next stage.

"The Usual Suspects" is currently in the second form submission stage. If tomorrow's meeting goes well, the production department will contact the Film Bureau to apply for a filming license. The next step will be to burn a lot of money to start filming.

As the planner and producer of "The Usual Suspects", Chen Yiming has no reason to miss such crucial meetings.

Not to mention that Lao Duan also made a special trip from the imperial capital, and Chen Yiming had to give him face both emotionally and rationally.

tourism?

What a waste of a trip!

If nothing else, once the project enters the preparation period, Chen Yiming will not be able to leave.

Although he doesn't have to stay in the team around the clock, he still has to go over there every now and then to check in. At least he can't be missing for a long time. In any case, there is definitely no hope of traveling abroad.

The next morning, Chen Yiming walked into the Bojue reception room with a melancholy look on his face, and saw Duan Yining again after many days.

"Hey! Old Duan came quite early. Did he arrive yesterday?" Duan Yining frowned and was looking through a folder. When he heard Chen Yiming's "greeting", he raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head and mouthed replied briefly, "It'll be there on Monday."

Chen Yiming pinched his fingers and wondered, "Why didn't you contact me so early? Do you have anything else?"

Duan Yining shook his head and said, "No, I have been working on the script with Director Wang and the others these days. Anyway, you said that the follow-up to the script has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to inform you."

Listening to the words, Chen Yiming immediately noticed the implication of Duan Yining. He sat down next to Duan Yining, raised his elbow and teased, "Director Wang? Grinding books? Why am I so unaccustomed to Nirvana, old Duan? You are so unruly, please recover quickly!"

Duan Yining irritably pulled Chen Yiming, who was coming over, and Gu Zuoyan said, "Don't make trouble. I'm thinking about my lines here. Don't disturb my train of thought."

While the two were fighting, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Wang Wei, Tian Li, Li Zhun and Li Yangyang walked in, with the big boss Xiao Mei at the end.

Wang Wei's face was full of enthusiasm, and his whole body was filled with eagerness to try. It seemed that the recent desk work was going very smoothly, and Director Wang couldn't wait to start showing off his skills.

Behind them, Tian Li and Li Guanzhen looked as if they had not woken up, which was in sharp contrast to Wang Wei.

Li Yangyang covered his barren head with a peaked cap, and wore a pair of glasses under the brim to somewhat cover up the large dark circles under his eyes.

He is holding a laptop in his left hand. On the computer is a stack of documents more than half an inch thick. He is holding an oversized thermos cup in his right hand. This is also a sharp contrast to his immediate boss Xiaomei who is leisurely putting his hands in his pockets behind him.

After everyone sat down, there was inevitably a chat. As the hands of the clock on the wall pointed to 9:, Li Yangyang turned on the computer to take notes, and the project would officially begin.

Wang Wei introduced the progress of the project so far against the projector. In summary, the script was finalized after more than a dozen revisions, and the storyboards of key scenes were basically determined.

In terms of cast and crew, the behind-the-scenes lineup has been roughly formed. The director of photography is concurrently served by Tian Li, the executive director is Li Zhun, the art director is still Lin Xiao, and the lighting and sound recording are borrowed from the old connections of Magic Film Studio.

The crew size of "The Usual Suspects" is not large, and there are only two scenes, Thailan Bangkok and Magic Film Studio. In other words, except for the outdoor scenes that must be shot in Bangkok, most of the indoor scenes will be set in Magic City. Studio shooting.

It is expected that the film crew going to Thailand will not exceed forty people, which is very small considering the gimmick of overseas filming.

In the later stage, it was still entrusted to the Megalithic Workshop.

In fact, there are only a few special effects shots in this movie. The reason why Jushishi Workshop, which is already a "giant" in the industry, is willing to take on this mosquito job is entirely due to its long-standing good relationship with Bojue.

In terms of key actors, without the "interference" of Duan Yining and Chen Yiming, Wang Wei was able to choose candidates who met his wishes within the budget.

Lao Duan's compromise in selecting the second male police officer allowed Wang Wei to no longer have to worry about the actor's acting skills, and the dark style of the original script was retained.

On the other hand, Director Xin Zha has not yet felt the severe box office pressure, so he has been a lot more reckless in casting.

Therefore, the actor's profile picture displayed on the projector was that of an ordinary middle-aged man with a long face named Yu Hewei.

This is an unexpected choice, because the 42-year-old Yu Hewei has never appeared in a movie. He has been on the small screen before and has never played a leading role.

However, this is a reasonable choice. After all, Yu Hewei's magic show and military skills are double buffs, and he is exactly the type of actor Bo Jue likes to use most.

In fact, Yu Hewei did come from the recommendation of teacher Hou Yong. Both of them came from the Frontline Repertory Theater before the restructuring.

It was also by chance that the unknown Yu Hewei was favored by Wang Wei.

After being given the power of casting, Wang Wei, who had just joined the industry, couldn't come up with a candidate for a while. When something happened, he couldn't decide and turned to the producer, so he handed over the rough selection to Li Yangyang.

The requirements for the role of a police officer are very simple. He is a middle-aged man with either good or evil looks and temperament.

Li Yangyang's first choice was naturally to practice Bo Jue's database, and Teacher Hou Yong was brought into sight.

Unfortunately, Hou Yonggang took over the CCTV drama and had to film it for a whole year, so he couldn't spare the schedule. After listening to Li Yangyang's introduction, he changed hands and recommended his former comrade Yu Hewei.

Wang Wei "fell in love at first sight" after watching Yu Hewei's video information. The other party happened to have a schedule, and Lao Duan had no objection, so the candidate was initially decided.

After watching Yu Hewei's video information carefully several times, Chen Yiming also admitted that Wang Wei had a good taste.

Although they are all excerpts from TV series, Chen Yiming is still convinced that Yu Hewei is very malleable and has a wide range of dramas, which fits the police setting in "The Usual Suspects" very well.

Yu Hewei is not a handsome guy. He has a long face, a relatively long court, and is tall and thin, which affects his affinity on the small screen.

But on the big screen, due to the visual broadening effect, Chen Yiming felt that it was just right.

The most extra points are his eyes and eyebrows. The eyes are small but lively. The eyebrows have their own emotions. Normally they are flat eyebrows. When they are raised, they turn into splayed eyebrows. When they are frowned, they turn into sword eyebrows.

The emotion and eyebrow shape are perfectly matched, with obvious directionality, making it easy for the audience to empathize and empathize.

In addition, after he laughs, his whole person has a bit of cute vulgarity, which adds some possibilities for comedy.

I heard that Yu Hewei did not act in his first play until he was 1999 years old in 28, and Chen Yiming had to sigh.

There are sages in the wild, who is to blame?
