Director: Female stars want to improve too much

Chapter 123 Preparation for Iron Man, "Love at the Hawthorn Tree", Zhao Liying (please subscribe)

Robert Downey Jr. was born in New York in 1965 and is 38 years old this year.

The first time Xing Baizhou saw him, he knew he was smoking.

Because his face is different from that of a normal person, he is very haggard, and it does not seem to be caused by lack of sleep.

After Smith reminded him, he learned that Downey had been imprisoned many times for drug abuse in the five years from 1996 to 2001, and he had only recently changed his ways.

Can such a person be used?

Xing Baizhou also considered that if he were a domestic artist, he might be banned immediately.

But this guy is from the United States and has been in prison for several years. There is no plan to ban him...

Just make do with it, otherwise where can I replace him?

but.

There must be three chapters of the law.

"Downey, before you star in Iron Man, you must sign this agreement." Xing Baizhou pushed the document drafted by the lawyer in front of him, "I don't want "Iron Man" not to be released in China due to accidents."

The corners of Danny's mouth twitched, obviously caught off guard.

After making arrangements for Downey, Xing Baizhou took Scarlett out for a walk.

Ten minutes passed.

Han Sanping even called him specifically to ask. However, Lao Han just asked, and he did not want to interfere too much in Xing Baizhou's creation.

To stop you from sleeping with other men? It's better to replace the underwear with aluminum alloy and add a lock.

The filming will take three months. If it is faster, it can be made earlier.

In the bathroom.

The more she heard her body getting hotter and hotter, Xu Qing bit her red lips with her teeth and wished she could immediately open the door and go in to join the fight.

You invested US$2 million in a movie, but you didn’t hire a Hollywood star?

Gou GouShou, I don’t know how many people lined up to come for the interview.

and so.

In the months leading up to the launch, he had enough time to do other things.

It's just that this matter was taken away and leaked.

As soon as Xing Baizhou and Scarlett took off their clothes and entered the bathroom, a car stopped at the door.

The American media and Hollywood were all surprised when Xing Baizhou invited Robert Downey Jr. to be the leading actor in "Iron Man."

……

He took Scarlett to the Beijing Sports University to find a martial arts coach, and asked Scarlett to study with him every day. After that, he brought her back to the villa.

Lionsgate and China Film Group were very surprised.

But he is too lazy to do this kind of thing. Women are like clothes. If they don't fit, just change them. Even if they fit, they won't last long.

Xu Qing suddenly felt hot all over...

There was a tickling sound coming from inside.

He is not responsible for the preliminary work, he only needs to provide ideas.

The visitor is Xu Qing.

In this regard.

After all, "Iron Man 2" will be released soon. As the Black Widow, it is inevitable for her to learn kung fu.

Xing Baizhou and Scarlett applauded fiercely.

You can only slide it in to unlock it! ! !

The preparation of the crew and the construction of the scenes take a long time, at least about three months.

She quietly walked up to the second floor, stood at the door of the master bedroom, and leaned her ear against the door.

Because the entire villa is heated and the floor is covered with blankets imported from France, you don't feel cold at all.

What's the use of signing an agreement with you?

Scarlett, who was sitting next to him, giggled and said, "Xing, do you want to sign one for me too?"

Didn't some seniors say that no matter how beautiful a woman is, there will be a day when she gets tired of looking at her.

In the previous life, the shooting time of "Iron Man 1" was 3 months, and the post-production took half a year.

It's already nine o'clock in the evening.

He said solemnly: "Director Xing, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I won't smoke that thing anymore, I promise."

Although Scarlett is small, she is equipped with a very powerful motor and her hips move very quickly.

She looked at the lights on the second floor and suddenly felt a little jealous, thinking to herself, her brother has brought a big horse home again! ?

He took out the key and opened the door and entered the room.

The reason for calling her this time was actually to let him learn some kung fu in the capital.

In the villa.

Downey hesitated for about 20 seconds, then signed the signature with a pen.

……

At this time, Downey was an unknown second- and third-tier star, although he had appeared in many movies and TV series.

Xu Qing couldn't bear it anymore, so he opened the door and walked into the bedroom.

Subsequently.

He shouted through the door: "Brother, are you taking a shower in there?"

Scarlett: "???"

After a while.

Xing Baizhou walked out, while Scarlett hid in the bathtub.

Standing in front of Xu Qing with a strong and muscular body, she couldn't bear it at all and threw herself directly on Xing Baizhou.

Shortly after.

Xu Qing was pulled into the bathroom.

……

"The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer" produced by Xu Qing was launched, and the ratings were very good. The ratings on Beijing Satellite TV exceeded 8%.

Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Xiaopang became popular again.

Many people are attracted by Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min's ancient costumes, and their number of fans is growing rapidly.

As a producer, Xu Qing has made a huge contribution.

Not only after the threesome, he came up with the idea of ​​filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Xing Baizhou stood by the bed, looking at Scarlett and Xu Qing who were lying on the bed panting, and said with a smile: "We just finished the yoga class and are you talking about work? Let's take a break."

a few days later.

Baizhou Film and Television announced that the company has obtained the copyright for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and will start production at the end of the year.

Xing Baizhou also announced new movie plans.

Since "Iron Man" took a long time to prepare, he planned to make a small-budget movie for fun and bring his own artists along.

The movie he chose this time was "Hawthorn Love".

That's right, if he wants to collect Zhang Yimou's wool, he can't just collect Feng Xiaogang...

This is a romance movie, which is indeed a bit old-fashioned from a post-2020 perspective, but it was just right to shoot it in early 2003.

When the outside world heard that he was going to film a new movie, everyone was not calm.

Especially Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang.

Zhang Yimou: "Wocao, when this kid's inspiration is not exhausted? He actually shoots with such intensity."

Feng Xiaogang: "Made, I'm so enviable. Making movies is like eating and drinking."

In contrast to the two of them, is the audience. They are eager for Xing Baizhou to make more movies.

……

"Love at the Hawthorn Tree" is rated as the purest love novel in history. It tells the story of Jingqiu and Laosan's acquaintance, love, and finally separation forever.

There are two main characters in the movie, the heroine Jingqiu and the male protagonist Lao San.

past life.

Zhou Dongyu made his debut through this movie.

At that time, she was about to take the college entrance examination and participated in the selection of "Hawthorn Tree Love" and was attracted by Lao Mouzi. She did not participate in the college entrance examination because of filming.

After the movie became popular, she took the college entrance examination again the next year and was recommended by Zhang Yimou to Nortel.

now.

Zhou Dongyu is only 11 years old and still studying in primary school.

The heroine can only choose someone else.

However, even if she was of the right age, Xing Baizhou would not choose her.

What's the point of the front and back being equally flat?

That guy Zhen XX actually wants to "subtly sponsor" her. I really can't understand...

……

Company meeting room. Sitting opposite Xing Baizhou was Xu Qing.

A few days ago, she and Scarlett knelt in front of Director Xing together, and their cooperation was flawless, which made Director Xing very satisfied.

At this time, Xing Baizhou said with a smile: "Sister Qing, do you have any thoughts about the male and female protagonists of "Hawthorn Tree Love"?"

Xing Baizhou is considering using a brand new actor. After all, this kind of movie will bring freshness to the audience if it is acted by a newcomer.

Xu Qing thought for a moment and said: "Brother, I think the male lead can be found at Nortel, and Zhu Yawen is good. As for the female lead... Liu Shishi is good, she is good-looking, and..."

Xing Baizhou interrupted her: "Master played "Youth" some time ago and has become a household name. If he plays "Hawthorn Tree Love" again, the audience will have a fixed impression."

Just when the two were at a loss for the heroine, Xing Baizhou thought of a girl-Zhao Liying.

Her height, appearance and figure are all better than Zhou Dongyu's. With her small round face, there is no problem playing a high school student. She looks like a first love when she puts on a school uniform.

and.

Zhao Liying is also studying now. At the age of 16, she will graduate from junior high school and will be admitted to Langfang Vocational and Technical College.

After thinking about it in his mind, Xing Baizhou thought it was feasible.

So he called Ning Hao and said to him: "As soon as I get off the bus, I want to go out."

Langfang is very close to the capital, only an hour's drive away. Xing Baizhou drove to Langfang New Century Middle School alone after leaving the company.

As school was about to end in the evening, many parents came to pick up their children at the school gate.

Xing Baizhou's Bentley was parked among a group of bicycles and Santanas. It was a bit awkward. Many people were looking at him.

"Whose parent is this? Are you so rich?"

"This is a Bentley. I heard it costs several million."

"..."

After school, a group of students walked out of school and were extremely envious when they saw the silver Bentley.

Xing Baizhou put down the Red Bull in his hand and laughed: "I heard that putting Red Bull on the roof of the car will attract beautiful little foxes?"

Just as I was thinking about it, a very innocent little girl and several classmates pushed their bicycles out of the school gate.

He immediately started the car and followed.

Less than a hundred meters away from the school gate, he rolled down the window: "Hey, little girl, stop for a moment."

Zhao Liying was startled and immediately held the handbrake and stopped. The two female classmates next to her also stopped. The three of them stared blankly at the men in the Bentley.

A woman with short hair exclaimed: "Wow, is he Xing Baizhou?"

Zhao Liying and another girl reacted immediately and quickly looked inside through the window: "It seems that it is really Xing Baizhou..."

Xing Baizhou got out of the car: "Little girl, are you interested in acting?"

Zhao Liying looked at him blankly, then looked back at her classmates, pointing at herself in disbelief: "Are you talking about me?"

"Yes, it's you!"

A few minutes later.

Zhao Liying was so excited that she couldn't speak. It wasn't until the Bentley's headlights disappeared that she waved her arms in celebration.

The two classmates next to her were nothing but envious.

……

Yichang, hundreds of miles of wilderness.

Xing Baizhou and the crew of "Hawthorn Tree Love" started filming here in a low-key manner.

The scenery in this place is very beautiful, with plains and green mountains intertwined, very much like southern Anhui, and the air is full of fragrance.

Xing Baizhou, Zhao Liying, Ning Hao and actor Zhu Yawen stood in front of the camera and unveiled the red cloth.

In front are two reporters from CCTV Six Princesses.

Other than that, there is no other media.

In fact, having the six CCTV princesses and their family is enough. When the time comes, when the boot video and photos are released, there will definitely be a lot of media rushing to forward them.

In a previous life, when Zhang Yimou was filming this movie, it only took 5 months from start-up to release.

The filming took just over a month.

It takes so little time, which has something to do with the simplicity of the story.

There are no big scenes in this movie, it is all simple shots, and there is no scenery. All the original local buildings and scenery of Yichang are used.

With the script and storyboards ready, we can get it done in half a month with all our firepower.

""Love at the Hawthorn Tree", the first scene, the first shot, the first line, start!"

Both Zhu Yawen and Zhao Liying were acting for the first time. There were many things they didn't understand, and the filming on the first day was very slow.

Basically, after taking a photo, Xing Baizhou would talk to them for a few minutes.

Fortunately, both of them have acting talents and learn very quickly.

Especially Zhu Yawen, who cherished this opportunity very much, would drag Zhao Liying to the hotel conference room to practice her lines every time she finished work.

Last time on the Nortel campus, Zhu Yawen mustered up the courage to recommend himself to Xing Baizhou. He had never thought that he could be a leading actor.

Originally, he just wanted to have a chance to appear on the screen, just like Luo Jing, as a supporting role in "Youth", but unexpectedly, Director Xing actually asked him to be the leading actor! ! !

returning a Favour many times more……

Zhu Yawen has this kind of mentality now.

He gets up early and goes to bed late every day, constantly studying, just to perform well in front of Xing Baizhou.

And the same is true for Zhao Liying.

As the high school entrance examination approached, her dream completely changed.

She previously wanted to be a stewardess, but has completely given up on this idea. Now, she just wants to be an actor.

Isn’t this much better than a stewardess serving people?

However, two years later, she never imagined that although she no longer had to serve as a flight attendant to serve passengers, she would have to serve as a flight attendant.

Moreover, he still kneels down to serve her deeply.

However, this was all what she wanted, and Director Xing did not force him in the slightest.

……

Time passes day by day.

Most of the preliminary preparations for "Iron Man" have been completed, and now we are waiting for the completion of the scene construction and the production of several sets of armors.

This armor alone cost millions of dollars, not counting the post-production special effects.

I have to say that filming "Iron Man" was really expensive.

at the same time.

The filming of "Hawthorn Tree Love" is also coming to an end.

The third child, played by Zhu Yawen, got sick and left without saying goodbye.

Jingqiu thought she had been deceived, and was very sad. The loss of her first love made her extremely painful.

Finally, when he learned that the third child had leukemia and died soon, Jingqiu, wearing the red coat given by the third child, rushed all the way from the classroom to the hospital and saw the third child for the last time.

At the end of the movie, the hawthorn tree blossoms.

……

End of May.

After one month of shooting and more than half a month of post-production, the rough cut copy of "Hawthorn Tree Love" has been completed.

After watching the rough cut, Xu Qing rubbed her red eyes, cried and laughed, and said, "Brother, you are so good at crying. If this movie is released, won't the cinema be filled with tears?"

cry?

How can I not cry?

This kind of love movie is a failure if it doesn't make people feel emotional.

After the rough cut is completed, there is fine editing, dubbing and soundtrack.

Currently in progress.

Zhao Liying had been busy for more than a month, and Xing Baizhou asked her to go back to school.

After all, the high school entrance examination is coming soon, even if you only get admitted to Langfang Vocational and Technical College, you still have to take the exam. As for the dubbing of the heroine, Xing Baizhou found another dubbing actor.

……

"Xing, when are we going back to the United States? I've been learning kung fu here for almost two months. I really want to go back and find someone to do it with."

Scarlett asked as she straddled Xing Baizhou.

"With your three-legged cat skills, you can't beat the security guard at the gate of the community..."

"Keke, I can beat you, but you're still frowning because I'm holding you down!"

When Xing Baizhou heard this, he couldn't bear it.

He turned over and pinned her down. In less than a minute, Scarlett pulled on the sheets and kept begging for mercy.
